Chapter 672 A Strange Book
When they heard that this drainage facility was invented by Princess Chen, the adults were all surprised.
Although I had heard that Princess Chen was quite powerful when I was in the capital, I also had a good impression of her.
But ever since coming here, although he didn't say it out loud, he had the same thought in his mind: he always felt that those people glorified the Princess Chen in front of him.
She is not as good as those people say. Instead, I feel that Princess Chen is a little bit stupid.
I can't really put my finger on what's wrong with him. He looks pretty good, but his speech and behavior seem strange.
But after hearing what Butler Liu said, his opinion of Princess Chen changed a little.
In particular, Lord Zhao, who has always been interested in water conservancy, asked for advice sincerely.
"I wonder how Princess Chen came up with this idea?"
If it is true as Butler Liu said, there is no water outside even in such heavy rain, then the Princess Chen in front of him is indeed a powerful person.
If this method becomes popular, it will be a good thing that will benefit all people.
Seeing the old man asking for advice so respectfully, Qin Chuchu felt a little embarrassed.
"Don't be afraid of being laughed at by Lord Zhao, this is not something I came up with. I just read it in a strange book. At that time, I was just trying it out, but now it seems to be working quite well."
Qin Chuchu smiled gently with the corners of her mouth curled up, but only she knew how uncomfortable it was to hold it in.
I was afraid that if I opened my mouth too wide, my teeth would show and people would laugh at me.
But this time she was overthinking it. The adults in front of her had no time to pay attention to her demeanor. All their attention was focused on what she said.
"Oh? I wonder where that book is? Would I have the pleasure of reading it?"
Lord Zhao's face was full of anticipation. He didn't expect that there was such a wonderful book. It would be a great honor for him if he could take a look at it.
Qin Chuchu was slightly stunned when she heard the old man say this, but she soon started to lie seriously again.
"To be honest with you all, my grandfather got the book by chance and later passed it on to my mother, who then passed it on to me.
Later, my mother died and Diao became the legitimate wife. She began to criticize me in everything.
He often came to my house to search and see if my mother had left me any valuables.
After searching several times without success, he got angry and burned all the books in my room, including the wonderful book my mother left me.
After saying this, he sighed with regret.
"Alas, what a pity, but fortunately, I have written down a lot of the things written on it."
After saying that, he stole a glance at the adults in front of him who were listening attentively.
It seems that the deception was successful this time. It seems that everyone believed it.
But she wasn't talking nonsense. After the original owner's mother died, Diao often came to the original owner's house to search, and it was common for her to damage things.
It’s just that there is no book that I mentioned. Anyway, there must be an excuse for these things.
Now that I’ve said this, if anything happens in the future, I can just blame it on that book. There’s no evidence and no one can do anything about it.
She actually guessed it right. After hearing it, Lord Zhao and the others not only believed it, but also looked indignant.
"That's too much!" General Cheng slammed the table in anger, his chest heaving.
I've heard for a long time that Prime Minister Qin favors his concubine over his wife, but I never thought it would be so excessive.
Even the daughter of the wife of the first wife is criticized so harshly, which is simply inhumane.
Even Lord Zhao and Grand Tutor Sun, who were sitting opposite, looked dissatisfied and regretted the book even more.
Everyone knows that Princess Chen's maternal grandfather's family is a large business family with hundreds of years of heritage, so good things are naturally indispensable.
I think that book must be a rare treasure, a rare and wonderful book, it's a pity that it was destroyed.
But when he heard Qin Chuchu say that she had memorized most of the contents above, Lord Zhao's face showed surprise again.
"I wonder if Princess Chen could tell me what other strange stories are recorded in that book?"
He looked at Qin Chuchu in front of him with anticipation. Princess Chen had just said that he had written down most of the above content.
I just don't know if she could tell me what else is recorded on it. Maybe there is something good that will benefit the country and the people.
Seeing that the old man was asking so many questions, Qin Chuchu continued to lie with a serious look on her face.
"Hmm... the courtyard we live in now is also recorded in that book, as well as the recipe for glass, the recipe for hot pot, and the recipe for cold noodles... Oh, there are too many, anyway, there are so many, I can't remember them all at the moment!"
Qin Chuchu frowned, looking helpless.
I took this opportunity to make up this excuse, so that if anything happens in the future, I can blame it on that book and no one will suspect anything.
After hearing what he said, the adults in front of him not only believed it, but also showed regretful expressions again.
It turns out that these recipes were all recorded in that book. It is indeed a wonderful book. It is a pity to destroy it.
“…………”Han Muchen didn’t say anything.
He listened to Chu Chu's nonsense, taking a sip of tea from time to time, his face expressionless.
But she was happy in her heart. Chuchu's lies became more and more smooth, which made the adults in front of her stunned.
While he was thinking about this, Lord Zhao stood up.
"I'll go out and check out that drainage system right now!"
As he stood up and was about to go out, he was stopped by Butler Liu.
"Sir, please wait. It's raining heavily outside. Would you please wait until the rain stops before going?"
As Butler Liu spoke, he pointed to the skylight outside, through which he could see smoke rising from the sky.
I almost slipped several times when I went out just now. Lord Zhao is older than me, and it would be bad if he fell.
The man thought so too and quickly spoke out to stop him.
"Master Zhao, please be patient and wait until the rain subsides. I will go with you to see it."
I also know that Lord Zhao is quite interested in this aspect, but after all, the rain outside is too heavy, and it would be bad if something goes wrong.
Thinking of this, he turned and looked at Feng Yi at another table.
"When you have time, go check out the city walls and the defensive ramparts!"
Although I don't think there will be any problems over there, it's raining so hard, so it's better to take a look to be at ease.
"Yes, I'll be there in a moment..."
Before Feng Yi could finish his words, he was interrupted by General Cheng who looked curious.
"What are you looking at the defensive wall?"
It sounds like it has something to do with war, and he attaches great importance to this aspect.
Seeing General Cheng staring at him, Feng Yi didn't hesitate any longer.
"General Cheng, the prince wants his men to go to the border to see the defensive walls."
After he finished speaking, he remembered this matter. The people in the capital did not know about it, so he explained it carefully.
"Our prince built a defensive wall on the border between Chuxiong and Beihan. He wanted to send his subordinates to check if there was any problem there."
Hearing what he said, General Cheng stood up suddenly and looked at Feng Yi in disbelief.
"What did you say?"
