Chapter 45: Once Upon a Time in Kyoto
As night fell, Qiansuda put down the experiment in his hand and left Fenghua Building.
Qiansuda can naturally understand the intentions of Hunting, but the current Qiansuda is not reconciled to just use it as a tool for Hunting's ambitions, and is controlled by others everywhere.
As for the weapon research mentioned by Lieling, Qiansuda had already designed it in his spare time in the cave where he was imprisoned, and all he had to do now was to re-examine some data and graphics.
There was an inexplicable irritability in Qiansuda's heart, although he was reborn, no longer depressed, full of confidence and hope, but he was still not sure what he wanted.
Is it the ethereal success in the world's mouth, is it flowers and applause, is it power and money, or is it the woman in my heart?
In the middle of spring, the grass grows and the warbler flies, and the sixteen-year-old Qiansuda sits on the wall and looks bored at the sunset in the distance.
Chisuda, who has wandered in the mountains since he was a child, does not like the life of the high walls and deep courtyards.
Three years ago, Qiansuda's father, Qianqiujing, moved to Yuanhua Castle in Kyoto with his family, old and young, from the distant border.
In the name of it, it is said to give Qiansuda a better education and future.
As a businessman, Chiakijing was shrewd and sleek, and at the same time had a rare generosity of a businessman, and quickly integrated into the circle of Kyoto princes and nobles, and gained a firm foothold in the huge Kyoto.
"Kyoto is so boring!"
Qiansuda is really disgusted with his father's behavior, and he is drunk all day long, and there are serious problems in the key life style.
However, his father still went his own way, and it seems that the prosperity of Kyoto gave him more presumptuous capital.
Qiansuda hates this feeling very much, and he also hates everything arranged by his father, which earl's birthday party, which prince's princess's outing invitation, is nothing more than to let Qiansuda be able to have a good relationship with those future magnates as soon as possible.
Qiansuda is always too lazy to cope.
At the age of sixteen or seventeen, Qiansuda's face already has a maturity that does not belong to his age, and his angular face has a resolute and resolute temperament.
"Young master, tomorrow's banquet master said that you must go to it!"
"Why? If I don't go, what can he do with me?"
Qiansuda reached out and took out a slingshot from behind his back, loaded it with a stone, and shot at a plane tree in the yard, and a small branch fell, hitting the head of the little butler Paige.
For Kyoto, where land is at a premium, surrounded by high-rise buildings, the exquisite Chinese courtyard is naturally a symbol of dignity and strength, and Chisoda's father fell in love with the mansion at first sight, and the reason for this is the tall and thick plane tree in front of him.
The baron, who was not very happy with his life, could only smile and give it to the spring breeze on his face.
The little butler Page has long been accustomed to the tricks of Qiansuda, as a childhood playmate, Page came all the way from Xiling to Kyoto, and he naturally understands Qiansuda's thoughts.
"This time is different, the master of the ball is very honorable!"
"No matter how noble it is, he naturally has the ability to prevaricate the past. ”
"But, young master, these things cannot be avoided forever. This time, the owner is the emperor's favorite princess and the holy daughter of the temple!
For the Huayun Empire, which advocates force and pursues equality, women's military participation is nothing new, but as the dual identity of the imperial princess and the temple saintess, it takes more than just courage.
"Temple saints, people live in fear of God, but is there a god in this world?"
"Young master, you can't talk nonsense about this kind of thing, but it's in great danger!" the little butler immediately became cautious after hearing this.
"I'm not afraid of any danger!" said Chisuda with a straightforward look.
"Young master can naturally be afraid, but I have to be afraid!"
"You coward!" Chisuda sneered softly, nonchalantly.
"I'm not just scared, I'm very scared!" Page didn't say the inner monologue, but stuck out his tongue helplessly.
"Young Master, don't you want them to see your true genius?"
"Those aristocratic sons and daughters are all thinking about eating, drinking, and having fun, where do they understand the charm of science, a bunch of wine bags and rice bags!"
"But there are still quite a few marquises' daughters who are very different and outstanding, aren't they? The lord said that the young master has come to talk about marriage!" said the little butler Page quickly.
"What do you know?" Qian Suda looked disgusted, and a light and graceful figure appeared in his mind.
"Isn't the young master just thinking about that girl from Xiling? But she has quietly left Xiling, and we have come to Kyoto! You have already missed it! The young master always has to grow up!"
Qian Suda sat on the wall, quietly changed his posture, and was a little silent.
"But, I've grown up, and I know what I'm doing?" said Qiansuda, still very calmly.
The little butler Page looked at Qiansuda's firm eyes, a little helpless, a little silent.
But after thinking about it for a while, he shouted again, as if he had mustered up enough courage.
"If the young master doesn't agree, I will die in front of the young master!"
The little butler, Paipa, took out a shiny short knife from his clothes and put it directly on his neck, obviously prepared, and said in a resolute tone.
"What are you doing? I'm really angry!" Qian Suda was shocked when he saw it, and hurriedly asked.
"The master has already told me, if I can't convince the young master this time, I will be executed, anyway, I can't live anyway, I might as well do it myself!" The little butler, Paipa, spoke solemnly and sadly.
"Don't worry, he will never dare! I will never allow him to do this!" Qian Suda's face couldn't help but become nervous, and he could only try to stabilize the mood of the little butler Paige.
"Young master, what I said is true! Moreover, young master, hurry up and take back the slingshot, otherwise I will go straight down!"
Qiansuda hurriedly took back the slingshot and looked at the little butler, a little hesitant and contradictory.
"You stop, I'll just promise you!" Seeing the little butler's serious expression and the blood stains gradually oozing from his neck, Qiansuda also had to agree.
"I knew that the young master would not care about my life or death, and of course I also knew that the young master would not lie!"
The little butler Page immediately showed a happy expression, stretched out his hand and threw the knife out, and Qian Suda had already jumped off the wall at this time and came to Page in front of him.
"You stupid thing, does it hurt?" said Chisuda, half worried, half angry.
"I only know, young master, you have already agreed! Young master will not lie! I will go and arrange tomorrow's itinerary now" The little butler Page rubbed the injured part and wiped the blood from it. "Hey, it doesn't hurt!"
"You cunning thing!" Qian Suda could only smile helplessly as he looked at the back of the little butler Page who was far away.
The little butler naturally didn't have to do it in such an extreme way, when he knew that the identity of the host of the banquet was the temple saintess, Qiansuda already had some interest, and the temple, as the existence closest to the god, may be the best existence to answer Qiansuda's questions.
Qiansuda just didn't want to admit defeat to his father Qianqiujing early and admit defeat to the world.
The next day came unexpectedly.
Although it is a prom, it is actually a big social event, and the whole process starts in the morning.
Archery, horseback riding, hunting, opera, crushing, cards, the first official grand appearance as an imperial princess attracted the attention of Kyoto's large and small aristocrats, and various entertainment activities gave them time to get to know each other.
Qiansuda is not interested in these, as a weapon research genius who has recently become famous, he has received the common attention of the empire and the military, like a rising star, and Qiansuda's plan is only to show his face here.
Therefore, Qiansuda only acted as a spectator, accompanying those nymphomaniac girls, waiting for the arrival of the whole event.
Qiansuda has always chosen to keep a low profile, but that doesn't mean that trouble won't come to the door.
As an aristocratic circle with a strict hierarchy, as the son of an ordinary merchant from the mountains, although he has the reputation of genius and good etiquette, he still inevitably becomes the object of some nobles to show their superiority.
The huge gap between the rich and the poor, the long life of luxury, and the fear of war all made the decaying aristocracy regard the common people as the greatest threat.
As the leader of the scum in the aristocratic circle, the end of the song is full of deep malice towards Qianqiuda, who steals, cheats, murders, shamelessness, despicability, and all kinds of gossip and rumors tell its dirty nature.
"Despicable thing!" said the finale, holding a sword in his hand, and deliberately spat next to it as he passed by intently looking at the new opera.
Qiansuda was expressionless and ignored it.
It is a well-entrenched law that commoners are not allowed to quarrel with the nobility on their own initiative, and it is obviously unwise to retaliate with a tooth for a tooth or other methods of violence.
"The development of science and technology has not led to the progress of society and humanities!" Qiansuda can only sigh in his heart.
Qu Zhong was obviously sullen about his careful thinking and failed to succeed, and the only aristocratic glory made Qu Zhong have to temporarily choose to give up and continue to use some crooked brains in such a high-profile occasion.
Of course, the aristocracy is not all hungry moths, some of them maintain a positive attitude towards the rising stars of the scientific community such as Qiansuda, who represent the hope of future development, and give them great hope, and the idea of innovation is also germinating in their hearts.
Time slipped away silently, and finally, the sky began to darken.
As the façade of the imperial dynasty, the Palais de Vesse is synonymous with majesty, luxury and opulence, slowly turning on all the lights.
The much-anticipated ball is about to kick off with him.
