Chapter 51: The new design of the Lin family is really different...
Chapter 51
The shape of the Xiangfeng Bronze Crow is very beautiful, with a bronze phoenix on top and a hinge at the bottom. When the wind comes, the head of the bronze phoenix will face the direction of the wind.
Because the Phoenix has a small head and a large tail, the center of the axis of rotation is close to the head. When the wind blows, the tail generates a torque that causes it to rotate around the axis. When the bird's head points in the direction of the wind, the Xiangfeng Tongwu will stabilize in one position.
"Actually, the Ministry of Industry also has quite a few talented people. They might not be unaware that this approach is the best," Jing Yue said. "Do you think they're making a big deal out of nothing?"
Xie Junxing knew he had hit the point, so he straightened his expression and said sincerely, "Of course not. Every profession has its own specializations. When three people walk together, there must be one who can teach me. No matter how capable one is, when making important decisions, one will want to conduct multiple investigations and pay attention. The older and younger ones may have advantages that we don't have, so we shouldn't be arrogant."
"Then do you think that a woman's behavior is presumptuous?"
"No. On the contrary, I think she is a remarkable woman today!"
"If the Yongsheng Marquisate doesn't want such an eccentric daughter-in-law, what will you do?"
"The Yongsheng Marquisate has my eldest brother as the heir to the title and supports the family. After I get married, I will probably separate from the Marquisate. I will naturally support her in doing what she likes."
"You might initially support her unconditionally, but over time, perhaps because of the hardship of life after the family split, or because of gossip and rumors from colleagues and friends, your resolve may weaken, and you may feel that she is no longer the remarkable woman you once thought she was. What will you do?"
Xie Junxing did not answer immediately, nor did he rush to promise that he would not change.
Can human hearts remain unchanged forever?
He is now unable to make any promises for his future.
The possibility that 'Lin Zhiyi' mentioned does exist.
Xie Junxing didn't try to flatter her with any kind of glib or wishful thinking. He was silent for a moment, then thought carefully before saying, "If that day ever comes, I will be honest with her and divorce her. The family property will belong to her. I will also go to the Ding'an Marquis' Mansion to accept my punishment."
Jing Yue was satisfied with this answer—if Xie Junxing had remained steadfast in his promise, he certainly wouldn't have said anything. But Xie Junxing had honestly considered the possibility of a change of heart, which showed that he was sincere and wouldn't deliberately lie or say nice things only to waste their lives.
For the woman, this was a timely stop-loss.
With his parents around, and him and Lin Zhiyi around, they naturally wouldn't let their fourth sister be bullied. Even if there was a possibility of divorce in the future, they could still support her.
Of course, everyone can say that.
The key lies in action.
This is what Lin Zhiyi told him.
"Let's go up and take a look." Jing Yue had no problem with that. He wanted to see if Xie Junxing was really interested in this.
Don’t just be like Ye Gong who loves dragons.
The three of them were all people of status, so Yuhuatai did not stop them forcibly. They asked them to register and then let them go.
After all, in addition to calculating the weather, Yuhuatai is also a place for listening to sutras and praying.
If common people come to burn incense, then dignitaries can also come to burn incense.
Xie Junxing did have relevant knowledge, and he briefly introduced a few strange objects to Jing Yue and Zhou Mingyan. In short, he proved with practical actions that he was not lying.
Jingyue felt more at ease.
Seeing him playing with the Linglong Tower so skillfully on the road, Jing Yue already believed him about 70%.
Now, I trust him completely.
Since you are here, you must burn incense.
At this moment, Jing Yue thought of his marriage with Lin Zhiyi.
There are also matters of jade pendants and body swapping.
Be pious.
He held three burning incense sticks in his hands, bowed three times towards the incense burner on the preaching platform in the middle, and offered the incense seriously.
Zhou Mingyan and Xie Junxing were a little surprised to see how pious he was.
"Xiuyuan, you're praying so earnestly. Didn't you not believe in gods and Buddhas before?"
Jing Yue said calmly, "That was in the past. Now I believe it, because the princess and I are destined to be together."
After hearing this, Xie Junxing worshipped even more devoutly.
It can ensure your marriage!
Although Zhou Mingyan hadn't figured it out yet, he understood one thing: following Lin Zhiyi and Xie Junxing and doing the same thing was absolutely right! There was no harm in that!
Therefore, Zhou Mingyan was also very pious. He even went the extra mile and knelt down and kowtowed, praying for blessings for his family to be safe, healthy and happy.
For a military general's family, aren't these eight words the most important?
After the three of them burned incense, they did not linger any longer and returned the same way.
After reaching the ground, some took cars, some rode horses, and the three of them, along with their guards, headed home.
When they arrived near Piaoxianglou, Jingyue lifted the curtain of the car window and said to the two people outside, "I'm treating you today. Let's go to Piaoxianglou for a couple of drinks."
Zhou Mingyan: "Okay, okay!"
Xie Junxing: "...It is better to obey than to be respectful."
The three of them had dinner and drinks at Piaoxianglou before parting ways and returning home.
Jing Yue returned to Bitong Courtyard, washed up briefly, and then went to Xuanji Tower to find Lin Zhihua.
This was also Jingyue's first visit to her sisters in the Marquis' Mansion.
I hope there are no flaws.
Lin Zhihua was a little nervous a few days ago, after all, it concerned her marriage, but her parents and elder sister said that she was still young and could think about it slowly.
She was naturally carefree, and after two days of worrying, she recovered on her own and continued to immerse herself in her mechanical array, forgetting to eat or sleep.
This time, the mechanical formation she studied was a combination of military strategy and chess.
It's very stressful.
When Jing Yue came over, Lin Zhihua's maid had already reported it.
Xuanji Building covers a very large area and is divided into areas of various shapes, which are almost filled with Lin Zhihua's various handicrafts.
At this moment she had chosen a vacant space and was studying it.
Hearing that her brother was coming, Lin Zhihua smiled and waved to Jingyue: "Come quickly, Yuanyuan, I'm stuck here, please help me think about it."
Jing Yue walked over quickly, observed it carefully, and asked in surprise: "Is this chess?"
"Well, I thought of a game with a mechanism that can train children's chess skills and courage. You see, the horse here can directly jump in the shape of a 'sun'." As he spoke, Lin Zhihua controlled the mechanism, and the half-human-high little wooden horse really jumped up and walked in the shape of a 'sun'.
Just like the knight moves in chess.
"What about this one?" Jing Yue was attracted and pointed at another wooden product curiously - it had a round base, and then it was carved into a spiral shape, like wind.
But as far as he knew, there was no 'wind' piece in chess.
Lin Zhihua smiled and said, "This is an elephant. An elephant is invisible, and there's no way to represent the invisible. So I thought of using wind to represent it. The wind blows out a spiral. Isn't that a good representation?"
Jing Yue was truly impressed: "Image! Fourth sister uses it brilliantly!"
Lin Zhihua was very proud, but after she was happy, she pouted and said, "But I don't know how to proceed here. Look, the soldiers and pawns are replaced by small wooden figures of different colors. Should the generals and commanders be carved more luxuriously? Or should they sit in carriages? But the 'carriage' has already been designed to look like a chariot..."
Jing Yue's creative desire was aroused, and she said, "We can design luxurious seats for Jiang and Shuai. The kind with wheels."
Lin Zhihua's eyes lit up: "Great! That's a good idea! As expected of Yuanyuan!"
Jing Yue played with Lin Zhihua for a while, and suddenly thought that she would go to the Imperial College tomorrow and ask Xie Junxing if he had any brilliant ideas.
Shouldn't he be more interested?
Oh, I have to ask Fourth Sister first.
"Fourth sister, do you want to know what Xie Er will plan? I can ask him for you tomorrow." Jing Yue asked suddenly.
Lin Zhihua was stunned at first, then smiled generously and said, "Okay, then you can ask for me. I also want to know if he has any unconventional designs."
Jing Yue smiled and nodded: "Yeah."
He told Lin Zhihua about his time with Xie Junxing today, and took out the Linglong Pagoda, saying, "He is very skilled in using it. I also remember that it was you who modified the Xiangfeng Bronze Crow..."
Lin Zhihua said, "The Xiangfeng Bronze Crow was created based on the wisdom of the ancient sages. I'm not as powerful as they imagined. I was young at the time, and I couldn't think of anything more powerful. I could only make slight changes based on the efforts of the elders. I hope the ancient sages won't blame me."
Jing Yue comforted her, "Our ancestors created such miraculous things and recorded them down for future generations to learn and improve upon. As long as it benefits fellow enthusiasts and the people, then we are truly living up to our ancestors. Fourth sister, please don't underestimate yourself."
Lin Zhihua: "You're the one who talks sweetly. I know."
Jing Yue returned to Bitong Courtyard and was still immersed in Lin Zhihua's masterpiece until she lay down to rest.
He pinched the jade pendant on his chest, rubbing and playing with it unconsciously, and then thought of Lin Zhiyi. If it were Lin Zhiyi, what kind of magical ideas would he come up with?
The Lin family is truly unique!
