Chapter 175: See the New Emperor's Attitude
Chen Xiao smiled helplessly, "Old Qin strongly opposed it, but someone in the Arms Administration was eager to make a contribution and insisted on doing so." He paused and continued, "Actually, this matter came to light yesterday, but Old Qin was still fighting for it, so I didn't say anything last night."
Although no one questions the origin of the drawings at the moment, if they are reported to the court, Shen Qingqian will not be able to hide it.
"What does Mr. Qin mean by agreeing to admit that this picture was drawn by Sister Qian?" Wu's face darkened.
Chen Xiao sighed, "He was forced to do so. I've never come across this before, and I can't even explain what it means even looking at the blueprints. If I really submit the blueprints to the court, what if they transfer me to the Ministry of War or the Ministry of Works? If I don't make any progress, wouldn't that be even worse?"
In other words, Mr. Qin was worried that he would be exposed in the future, so he suggested that he reveal the real author of the drawings before it was reported.
The explanation was ready. They said that the little girl was embarrassed, so they let the eldest brother take the title first. However, this matter had been clearly discussed with Old Qin, so even if other people in the Military Equipment Bureau knew that there was something wrong, they couldn't say more.
Now that we have to report to the court, we naturally cannot deceive the new emperor. After all, deceiving the emperor is a capital crime.
Mrs. Wu frowned. "I'm worried that if people find out about this, they might treat Sister Qian badly. And you, too. You were sent to the Military Equipment Bureau because of the blueprints. Even though Cheng San vouched for you, if things get out of hand, there's bound to be trouble."
"Aunt, now things are no longer something we can decide," Shen Qingqian said at this time, "and you don't have to worry, even if people know that the drawings were drawn by me, I can handle it. As for my brother..."
She gave Shen Xiao a faint smile, "Big brother is so smart, and he once had some accomplishments in painting. I think he will be able to understand painting right away."
When rich people draw, it is called painting. When they draw functional drawings, it is called drawing.
In fact, she had thought about it before. Since Shen Xiao had already entered the Military Equipment Prison, should she teach him some basic mechanical design principles and modern drawing techniques? Unfortunately, her family was always busy and there was really no opportunity.
Wu and Shen Xiao were both stunned, then their expressions relaxed. Wu smiled and said, "I think it's okay. Sister Qian is smart. I am really old."
"Just knowing how to draw isn't enough," Shen Xiao frowned in thought, then bowed towards Shen Qingqian, "I need Sixth Sister's guidance."
What the pointers are is self-evident.
Shen Qingqian quickly dodged and pretended to be displeased, saying, "Brother, if you say that again, I'll be angry. And Auntie, you're not old at all. You didn't realize it for a moment. It's because you've been worrying about this family all this time. When our lives settle down, you will definitely be as beautiful, calm and dignified as before."
When she finished speaking, she smiled with her lips pursed.
Mrs. Wu was indeed too worried these days and she looked ten years older. Shen Qingqian was not an ungrateful person. She remembered the kindness of the head of the family, so she did her best to let everyone in the family drink the magic spring water.
However, the water seemed to be of no use to those who were not sick. It was only effective in repairing the damage caused by disease and injury. Normally, it was not much different from ordinary water.
"Sister-in-law, I don't think this is necessarily a bad thing." Lin suddenly spoke up, "Our family has lost contact with the capital. If we really report this matter, we can see how the person on the throne feels about our family."
Shen Qingqian frowned slightly, looking at the new emperor's attitude
