Chapter 64: The Loquat Tree in My Hometown
Meng Yue led the maid holding the makeup and flowers into the flower hall again, and when she came in, she specially accentuated the sound of talking and footsteps, which made Rong Yi laugh. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Rong has seen many women, the poor of the scholar family, the poet and the bookish, the free and easy and heroic, and the children. Before meeting Meng Yue, Rong Yi thought that the women in the world were probably just the faces she knew. After knowing Meng Yue, Rong Yi knew that there was still Meng Yue like Meng Yue in the world, she was really, but not a pretended true temperament, she was open-minded, but it was not from the acquired upbringing or poetry and book edification.
Let's put it this way, everything that Meng Yue has can be summed up simply - she lived as herself. And most people in this world, both men and women, live like water, entrusting themselves to the years and the world, and letting the world be carved into random forms.
It is as if the light of the long night is torn apart, and the cold wind melts, so that as soon as people see it, something that is almost dead in their hearts begins to revive.
Meng Yue crossed the threshold, and saw that the two people in the flower hall were still on their own side, and they hadn't talked much, and some of them muttered: "Don't seize the great opportunity, is the police uncle the kind of strange man who is destined to be lonely for a lifetime?"
Rong Yi got up and looked at the colors of a few makeup flowers, and said to Meng Yue: "Then I won't be polite to Nian Nian, the little niece in the family is still waiting, and I'll look for Nian Nian another day." ”
Glancing at Wang Li silently, Meng Yue got up to send Rong Yi, and before he thought about it, he went outside the flower hall, Rong Yi said that he had something to talk to Lu Chuying privately, and Meng Yue went back to the flower hall to pass the word for Rong Yi, and asked Lu Chuying to go to the front of the flower gallery to say a few private words.
Lu Chuying answered and walked out of the flower room, Meng Yue sat there in a daze, looking up at Wang Li from time to time, what she thought to herself was: "Could it be that I did something wrong with good intentions, but made the two of them completely useless?" Hey, Mr. was heartbroken about the marriage of the police uncle, if he knew that I had dismantled the original possible object, he would have to break my bones. ”
On the side, Wang Li was a little crying and laughing, just now Meng Yue's skills were clumsy in the transition, and now it is a transition in which Rongyi is not clumsy, but there is no skill to speak of. Looking at Meng Yue's frequent glances at him, he knew that Meng Yue was thinking about him and Rongyi in his heart: "What is Senior Sister Meng thinking?"
Meng Yue felt that he and Wang Li were also occasionally having a meal together and occasionally petting a dog together, but it was not deep enough to talk about it, so he didn't pick up the stubble, but turned the topic away clumsily: "It's nothing, it's just that when I looked at Senior Brother Wang, I suddenly remembered the loquat tree in my hometown." ”
Seeing that Meng Yue didn't answer, Wang Li was not in a hurry to explain, but followed Meng Yue's words and said: "Thinking about Senior Sister Meng in the township is a headache for my uncle. ”
Nonsense, there is no more intimate little padded jacket than her: "How come, in my father's heart, I am the sun in winter and the cool breeze in summer, and I never give him a headache." ”
When he said this, Meng Yue completely forgot how angry Master Meng was with her before, so angry that he couldn't eat by himself and didn't say anything, and ignored her, telling her that she hadn't been able to eat properly for several days. Wang Li naturally knew it, but he didn't lead the words to this, but couldn't help laughing.
Meng Yue: What are you laughing at, what's so funny?
"As long as you are still the sun in winter and the cool breeze in summer, your father is angry with you, but I wish I hadn't given birth to you at the beginning. I didn't think you could forget what happened a few days ago so quickly. Wang Li saved face for his sweetheart, so he laughed and didn't talk about it, Lu Chuying, as a gentleman, didn't have any idea of saving face for his apprentice.
Meng Yue: "People have been together for a long time, how can there be no worries, I forget quickly, and my father forgets quickly." ”
Lu Chuying didn't tell Meng Yue, Master Meng had already rushed back, her words just fell on Master Meng's ears, Master Meng snorted and looked at Meng Yue: "You can find something for your father to try, see if your father forgets fast or slowly." ”
Sure enough, you can't talk about people during the day......
"Dad didn't eat, didn't you say you won't come back today, now the meal is over?"
Master Meng came back to look for Meng Yue on a serious matter, the farm tools of the Ministry of Industry had been studied almost a few days ago, but today he came back to be a machine for the maritime merchants. As Meng Yue expected, the prototype of the steam engine had arrived at the Ministry of Industry, but everyone's brains were not big enough at this time. The craftsmen invited by the Ministry of Industry are all highly accomplished, and they all know that this machine that can move by themselves is of great use, but for a while, no one has thought of how to use it.
For water-powered machinery, the Ming Dynasty at this time was already very acceptable, but this steam-propelled machinery, used to replace water-powered machinery, seems to be a bit of a snake to add to the meaning. Then, where and how to use the steam engine has become a question that the craftsmen and officials of the Ministry of Industry are struggling to figure out.
The reason why Master Meng came back to find Meng Yue was because of the "Detailed Record of the Loom", Meng Yue studied "deeply" than Master Meng. At least, in the eyes of Master Meng, in fact, Meng Yue is just standing on the shoulders of the giant of history and leading Master Meng to the established development route.
"Then you father and daughter will talk, and I will go back first. ”
It is impossible for Wang Li to stay, he still has to go back to Fanyuan, take his subordinate officials back to the Inspectorate, and he has something to do in the afternoon. After the two said goodbye, Master Meng, who had not yet eaten lunch, ate something indiscriminately, so he told Meng about the steam engine. Meng Yue is also an art student, even if he stands on the shoulders of the giant of history, he can give only a little guidance.
"Since you can move, can you move with the car and boat?" Meng Yue thought to himself, maybe in his lifetime, he could not only use electric lights, but also ride on a car, train, steamship, this is really a great era.
Master Meng: "This is the reason, but ......"
Meng Yue: I can only help here, no more, really no more. Eh, if I had known that I would have crossed, I had to go to engineering back then, so I wouldn't be like now, with a body of martial arts, but I couldn't use it.
"But one person counts the short, and everyone counts the long, and my father still has to negotiate more with the craftsmen invited by the Ministry of Industry. If you can buy machinery from overseas, why not invite a few craftsmen from overseas. Since the opening of the dynasty, Taizu has advocated recruiting capable people from outside, and they will be cared for. "The traverser Taizu has a broken heart for a lifetime, such an important matter, he will naturally worry about it, Meng Yue can't do it himself, so he raises the banner of Taizu.
"Well, for my father, I have to go back to the Ministry of Works, rest every year, and remember to take medicine. ”
"Yes, yes, I'll be good. ”
"There is another ...... The matter between Li Xuanzhi and the Qin girl, in the end, is not appropriate, it is better not to think about him every year. However, your Mr. Lu's family has a nephew, which is very good, you should have seen Lu Tang once or twice in Qingyuan, and you should think about it every year. ”
Meng Yue: Braised eggs?
