Chapter 107 I'm counting on you

Gu Ziyun has always been the best in the academy, writing good articles and poems. Because he is his future son-in-law, Chen Huailiang couldn't help but pay more attention to him. But in recent times, Gu Ziyun's knowledge seems very ordinary.

Chen Huailiang felt a little uneasy, as if something was wrong, but he couldn't put his finger on it.

So he couldn't help but tell Xu: "Go and keep your in-laws company."

"Accompany her? What about outside?"

Xu didn't want to go. She had been criticized by Su Jin in the Marquis' Mansion, and she didn't want to get close to this relative.

"Go, and ask Yun Ge about his affairs and whether he is confident about the scientific examination."

It's not right for a grown man like him to chat with the mistress, right? How can that be considered decent?

Seeing that it was a matter related to her daughter, Xu could only get up reluctantly and sit next to Su Jin with a smile on her face.

"Eat more, ma'am!"

Su Jin nodded and said, don’t worry, we understand everything about the Clean Plate Campaign!

Seeing that she was busy eating, Xu rolled her eyes in her heart, but smiled and said, "Brother Yun is really sensible. I don't know if it was taught by the eldest lady or her biological mother."

Su Jin paused while eating and slowly raised his eyes to look at Xu.

Xu was very proud. Oh, I finally know how to look up? What? Is it because I am ugly and not pleasing to your eyes, or is it because I deliberately don't want to see you? Huh?

Then she insisted on letting Su Jin look at herself.

Xu wanted to get back the face she had lost in the Marquis' Mansion that day. Su Jin also saw it, so he put down the snacks, took out a handkerchief to wipe his fingers, and was about to continue to argue with her when a young man rushed in from outside the door.

The young man was holding something that looked like a basin, but it was leaking at the bottom with a big hole in it. It was covered with a piece of oil paper, and on the oil paper were some red scraps of paper stuck vertically. They were long and thin, like flames.

Su Jin took a quick look and knew that the young man was the eldest son of the Shangshu Mansion, the eldest master Chen Hong, oh, the weirdo who liked to invent things and made the carriage wheels into square shapes.

The wonderful young master Chen Hong excitedly rushed to Xu's side, happily showing off what he had in his hand: "Mother, mother, look at the fire basin I invented! With this thing, my sister won't be afraid of burning her clothes when she steps on the fire basin when she gets married. You see, as long as someone blows under the basin, the flames will be just like the real thing, and no one can tell!"

As he said this, he put the basin on his head, tilted his head back and blew at the big leaky hole with his mouth. Sure enough, the "flames" on it began to flicker and the visual effect looked very similar to real flames.

Su Jin couldn't suppress the smile on his face. Xu was so angry that she grabbed the basin. But she had to consider the people outside. She could only lower her voice and curse, "Nonsense! The brazier was on the ground. How could you blow it? Are you Tuxingsun?!"

"puff!"

Su Jin couldn't hold it in any longer and could only say that the critical strike from his own mother was really too powerful and he would never dare to look directly at Tu Xingsun again.

Her laughter successfully made Xu's old face red. She was really embarrassed. She had been planning to ridicule Su Jin, but when her own son came out, she was slapped in the face!

How could she give birth to such a fool!

Xu was almost angry to death, but Chen Hong nodded aside, deeply agreeing: "It's still mother, I actually overlooked this point, wait a minute, I will think of a way to improve it!"

After saying this, he slipped away and disappeared without a trace.

Xu felt her head was buzzing and she almost passed out. Fortunately, the head maid came forward to support her and handed her a cup of tea. Only then did Xu recover.

Su Jin looked at Xu, whose complexion had returned to normal, and added with a smile: "Hong is so outstanding, I believe you must have taught him personally, Madam. I can't do that, I can't teach him."

“…”

Xu's head started buzzing again.

What's wrong with her that she has to come here and get into trouble?

Xu was so angry that she could only snort coldly, stand up and leave, sitting back in her seat.

"How is it? Have you asked?" Chen Huailiang was still waiting for information from his wife. Xu had an embarrassed look on her face and was hesitant.

Chen Huailiang frowned and was about to speak when a servant came in and handed him a letter.

"Master, it is said that this is a love poem from the uncle to the young lady. The uncle does not want to be sneaky and is afraid of damaging the young lady's reputation, so he asked me to show it to you first."

Chen Huailiang took the letter, shook it open, and read it quickly. The more he read, the happier he became. In the end, he pinched his beard and nodded uncontrollably. He even changed direction and read it carefully again.

"Good poem, good poem, worthy of being written by Brother Yun!"

It seemed that he was worrying too much. Mediocre academic performance? Not possible. With this literary talent, she was definitely a top scholar. His daughter was so lucky. Moreover, not choosing Gu Zixuan was indeed the right choice.

So what if they were born out of wedlock or legitimate? When the emperor selects talented people, he doesn’t look at this, he looks at real talent!

Chen Huailiang stroked his beard and laughed, and did not ask Xu any more questions. Xu breathed a sigh of relief, but her heart was only thinking about the useless eldest son in the family.

Chen Hong is the stain on their family!!

The betrothal ceremony was lively and lively. Su Jin finally had time to walk out and rest. In the distance, Chen Hong was squatting in the corridor, supporting his chin with one hand, staring at the "brazier" in a daze.

Su Jin thought for a moment and walked forward: "Brother Hong, I heard that you also invented a carriage with square wheels?"

Chen Hong was delighted at first because someone was interested in his invention, but then he was disappointed. He muttered, "Later I found out that square wheels can't move at all..."

Su Jin: ...

Be good, if you use your brain, you will know that other shapes except circle will not work.

Looking at the hand-blown brazier again, Su Jin was at a loss for words. Oh no, he was thinking of Tuxingsun again. Was this going to become a meme?

She took a deep breath, otherwise she was afraid that she would not be able to hold back her laughter.

"Brother Hong, have you ever heard of a bicycle?"

Chen Hong looked confused: "What is that?"

"That's right. It doesn't require oxen or horses to pull it. People can ride on it and it can run on its own."

Chen Hong's eyes suddenly lit up: "Is there really such a thing in the world?"

Su Jin smiled and said, "Now that you have invented it, it exists. There was no paper before, but now there is paper, doesn't it?"

"!!"

Chen Hong was so excited that he suddenly felt as if he had discovered a new world. Su Jin was standing on this strange continent, waving at him and shouting at him desperately.

"Brother Hong, let's play together!"

Chen Hong suddenly burst out with confidence, but he didn't know that Su Jin was staring at his shining eyes with a smile, thinking in his heart: Young man, you have to work hard, what's the big deal about a bicycle?

My sister’s ice cream maker, small fan, and oven are all counting on you!
