After returning to Anyang and cleaning up a little, Qiu Chen sent the Chen family and Shunzi's family to take the little girl to visit various mansions to thank them. What people sent was satin, gold and silver, and Qiu Chen sent back a small basket of tomatoes, a basket of water chestnuts, a basket of chicken head rice, and a basket of lotus flowers.

The thank you gift was sent out, and when Chen came back, he came back with a letter, but it was written by Lan Zhi, the eldest lady of the Tang prefect's family, for the purpose of asking when to pick lotus pods and water chestnuts. Qiu Chen couldn't help but smile when he saw the letter, and then he remembered that he had promised to take Lan Zhi's sister and brother to Nanmarsh Lake to play.

As a result, Qiu Chen thought of the development of Nanmarsh Lake that he had envisioned, but more than half a year had passed, and there was no action. Nowadays, the Zhuangzi are basically stable, and the workshops are also smooth, but they can spare some manpower. It's just that if you take Lan Zhi's sisters and brothers to play, it's too late to build a new house.

The courtyard of Zhuangzi in Nannuma Lake, where Yang Shuyong and his wife live, is built near the lake, and in front of the yard is a small bluestone platform, and the dock for boats and a small wooden plank road are continued to walk. The chicken coop, duck pen and sheep pen are built relatively far away, and in the northwest corner of this highland, the smell and dirt will not be affected. In addition, the houses where the old He family lived and the workers lived were in the northeast corner, and they were also separated from the Yang family's houses by some distance.

After pondering for a while, Qiu Chen discussed a few words with Chen, and then happily wrote a reply, inviting Lan Zhi to pick her up for a tour of the lake in ten days.

The letter was handed over to Shunzi's family and sent over, and Qiu Chen called Daxing, pondered with Chen, and built a wooden plank road in the reeds next to Zhuangzi, and passed from the wooden plank road, not far from Zhuangzi, but across a dense reed place, he drove wooden stakes to build a wooden pavilion.

In this way, work such as cooking and washing can be done on the Zhuangzi, and those who enjoy the scenery can enjoy the scenery and fish leisurely in the water pavilion. Or invite two or three friends to the lake to see the blue lotus red lotus, enjoy the lake light, chant and drink, isn't it a good swim, not happy!

Just to build a wooden water pavilion, as long as there is enough wood and manpower, ten days of work is enough. Moreover, at that time, the road leading to the lakeside pavilion will also find a new way, from the reeds outside the Zhuangzi to open a road, the same wooden stakes as the foundation, on which wooden planks are laid, directly through the reeds, all the way to the lakeside pavilion. In summer, you can see the verdant patch, in the autumn you can see the reeds like snow, and in the winter, you can also see the snow cover reeds...... If you plant a few weeping willows and peach blossoms around the water pavilion, there will also be a scene to enjoy in spring, then there will be four seasons of scenery, and the scenery will be different from time to time.

Qiu Chen said the main idea, and after Chen added two sentences slightly, Qiu Chen asked Daxing: "We haven't done this kind of thing after all, and we can't come up with a plan just like that...... If the water pavilion can't be built, ask if it is feasible to build a platform and erect pillars to make a pavilion. If we can, let's buy some curtains and hang them, and we can also enjoy the scenery and rest inside. ”

Daxing is just that, Chen pondered what Qiu Chen said next to him, if it can be built a water pavilion is naturally the best, if the water pavilion can't be built, only the pillars are put on the top to make an open pavilion, and the grass curtain is hung down, but it also has a different flavor fun, maybe it is more meaningful than a regular house!

Daxing took the composition handed over by Qiu Chen, and repeated the words of Qiu Chen and Chen's instructions, and then hurriedly quit and went to find the old carpenter who had been accumulating years to inquire about the style.

Shunzi's family turned back in just half an hour, but Daxing did not come back, and only asked the accompanying little maid to send a letter back: ten days is short, and it is too late to build a lake pavilion, but it is still possible to build a wide pavilion. Because of the short construction period and tight time, Daxing didn't have time to go back and forth, so he rushed to buy wood and find a carpenter to prepare for the start of construction.

Qiu Chen took the children to the back garden to plant vegetables, play with the little October who had been walking steadily, go to the wharf long street to search for novelties, go to the bookstore in the city, calligraphy and painting shops to collect books, calligraphy, paintings, brushes and inks, and soon two days passed, and it was time to mine chicken head rice and water chestnut and pick two stubbles.

Early in the morning, Qiu Chen took the children in a carriage, and after opening the city gate, he was the first to leave the city and go straight to Nanmara Lake.

In late June, the weather is still unbearably hot, and compared to the dry heat of early summer, the air in this season is extremely humid, and it is long and breathless.

Before going out, Qin Li sent a copper pipe. Qiu Chen is no stranger to this kind of copper pipe, since Qin Zheng returned to Beijing, the correspondence between them has been transmitted through such a copper pipe.

The children were full of excitement, and when they left the city, they opened the curtains of the car, gathered at the door of the carriage and looked at the grass and trees and pedestrians outside the car, chattering and laughing. Qiu Chen saw that there were Chen and Chunxiang Yuegui taking care of a few children, and Qin Li and Qin Yong were guarding on both sides of the carriage, so he took out the copper pipe and opened it with confidence, and took out the letterhead in it.

With a sweep, Qiu Chen's face changed. If she hadn't clearly remembered that she was sitting in the carriage, and her every movement was watched by several people, she almost threw all the copper pipes on the letterhead in her hand!

Before, she originally thought that Qin Zheng had a lot of help when she burned glass, and to put it bluntly, the value of civilian use is far inferior to that of the military, and giving that thing to Qin Zheng is just a piggyback thing, if she can use that thing for the military, it can be regarded as finding a different value for her glass-burning thing.

But I never thought that such a thing would be crushed into the hand of the person on the dragon chair? The letter also specified that a glass-burning master should come to the capital to teach.

The glass used for clairvoyance is optical glass, and the best technique at present is undoubtedly Jialiang alone, she also pointed to Jialiang to burn the glass of the microscope for her, and also counted on the future to be able to fire a variety of ophthalmic glass with different optical powers, so that she can send people to the capital, who is she going to go to?

Unconsciously, the two pieces of letterhead were clenched into a ball in the palm of her hand, and she held the copper letter tube tightly with her other hand, and she didn't notice that her knuckles were white because of the force.

It's so hateful! It's insatiable!

I think she hit herself here, and she made a plaque with alcohol. I didn't even say a word about the gunpowder formula; entered the epidemic area to treat the plague, dedicated the plague prevention and control program, and changed the false name of a three-grade lady; The soap-making recipe was just a royal order that was extremely difficult to deal with...... Now, even the glass-burning master she worked so hard to train is going to be taken away...... Where is there a little bit of love for the people, it is simply the people's fat and people's ointment, and the trend of not giving up!

There is also a crucial point, that is, she made an evil old man by herself, and she didn't do anything good, but she abducted her good little daughter, and she was worried about her for more than half a year, and she missed it every day.

The roots of Qiu Chen's gritted teeth hurt, and he took countless deep breaths before he finally suppressed the vigorous anger in his heart.

Although she relied on the big tree of Jingbei Hou to shelter herself from the wind and rain, other things seem to be Qin Zheng's person is not bad, not to mention that she has helped her a lot, Qin Li and Qin Yong have always been by her side, and they have worked tirelessly to teach the children to practice and strengthen their bodies...... But all of this, she has been trying hard to compensate, not to mention anything else, just gunpowder, a big killer weapon, is absolutely invincible on today's cold weapon battlefield, and it is enough to compensate for what she has gained. What's more, there are soap-making recipes, plague prevention and control programs, cowpox epidemic prevention methods, and glass firing processes...... Now that's all she is not satisfied with, and even her people have been dug up, which is unbearable or unbearable!

She won't agree this time, how much love is there!

Taking another deep breath, Qiu Chen calmed down his emotions, put up a few simple small ones installed on the carriage, and took out paper, pens and ink bottles from the dark compartment. That's right, it's an inkwell! In fact, it was to put the polished ink into a small glass bottle, which Qiu Chen used in case he used it on the road, and it was inconvenient to grind the ink, but he didn't expect it to come in handy this time.

With the pen in hand, unlike the previous letters written carefully, Qiu Chen almost wrote as soon as he lifted the pen, and the pen contained anger, and the words that could not be talked about were more and more messy and scribbled at this time. Fortunately, there are not many words written, but few numbers. The pen was done in one go, Qiu Chen didn't look at it anymore, packed up the pen and ink, turned back and the paper was dry, rolled it and stuffed it into a copper letterbox, sealed it with fire paint, and handed it directly to Qin Li outside the car.

"Send it back!"

Qiu Chen's face was not good, Qin Li was puzzled, but he didn't dare to ask the reason why his wife was angry at this stall, but when he didn't see it, he took the letterbox, told Qin Yong, circled the horse and turned around, and went straight back to Anyang City.

Sending the letter out, Qiu Chen seemed to be slightly relieved of his anger, picked up the letterhead that she had crumpled up, and shrank back when he was about to throw it out of the car.

Although Yang Jingyu was confined to the capital and was not allowed to come out, who knows if there was a secret person in Lu Dao, the letters she exchanged with Qin Zheng were still more proper, this kind of writing and paper thing was not handled properly, but it was the easiest thing to travel to the pool.

After thinking about it, Qiu Chen pinched the paper ball tighter again, and casually stuffed it into a purse on his waist, then relaxed his body and leaned on the big pillow, closed his eyes and pondered.

After all, that person is the high-ranking Ninety-Five, no matter whether Qin Zheng should stab this matter in front of the Son of Heaven or not, now that the Son of Heaven has spoken, it is impossible to disobey it, before she wrote such a letter in anger, it was just because Qin Zheng used a private message, not an official way, she subconsciously knew that she had such a glimmer of willfulness. If she really made a holy decree or something, it is estimated that she would only be able to send Jialiang out of Lu spinelessly.

Then, if people don't accept the request in her letter, she must also be prepared, don't really ask for someone at that time, she was dumbfounded.

Well, when I go back, I'll find a clever person to learn the craft with Jialiang, and if you don't learn anything else, just teach him how to burn clairvoyant glass, and if you want someone when the time comes, she also has someone to send. Of course, even if there is a glimmer of possibility, she will not just send people out of the country as objects. If a good boy had entered the place within the high wall, he might have to cleanse himself...... That's going to be ruined!

"Auntie, auntie, it's here!" The little boy pounced on her and took her hand to wake Qiu Chen up from meditation.

Qiu Chen blinked before coming back to his senses, reached out and pinched Junli's bulging bun face, raised his eyes to look at Zhuangzi who was getting closer and closer outside the car, smiled and took Junli, and was busy greeting Junyan Junzhang: "You two don't rush to jump down...... I have something to say! ”

Jun Yan had already closed the door of the carriage, and most of his body slipped to the wheel, and when he heard Qiu Chen's words, he couldn't help but feel bitter, turned back and asked, "Auntie, what else do you have to order?" ”

Qiu Chen raised his eyebrows, the corners of his mouth slowly opened a smile, and said kindly: "Junyan If you are in a hurry, go down!" ”

"Whoa!" Jun Yan was overjoyed when he heard this, and he was about to jump out of the carriage happily.

It's just that before he could implement it, he was pulled by Junzhang and Ah Fu one by one.

"What have you done with me? Don't you see all the boats going down to the lake over there? If they go to the depths of the lake later, we won't be able to keep up! It's in vain! Junyan was so anxious that his little face turned red, and he shouted angrily.

Junzhang looked like a brother at this time, he slapped Junyan with his hand, gave Junyan a look behind Qiu Chen's back, and lowered his voice and said, "Do you really want to make an eye?" See for yourself......"

Junyan kid is reckless, but he is not stupid, Junzhang immediately raised his eyes and looked at his aunt's face as soon as he reminded him, this is not a concern, when he saw the smile on Qiu Chen's face, but his eyes were full of playful expressions, he couldn't help but shiver!

When did my aunt become so good-tempered, and what is a good thing to suddenly be so easy to talk to...... He said how his aunt suddenly became good-tempered, it turned out that he had dug a pit for him to jump wow! It's okay, it's okay!

Grinning, Jun Yan pulled out a very stiff smile, looked at Qiu Chen and stumbled and said, "Auntie, what else do you have to order?" ”

Qiu Chen squinted and let go of Junyan to avoid Junzhang and Ah Fu, who were on both sides, and turned his eyes back to look at Junyan with a smile and said, "Aren't you in a hurry to get on the boat?" Why don't you go? ”

"Well, no hurry, no hurry!" Jun Yan shook his head again and again, and after that, he felt that he didn't even believe what he said, and turned around with a smile: "Isn't this waiting for my aunt's orders, it's not too late to go after my aunt's orders!" ”

Qiu Chen let out a soft snort from his nasal cavity, his eyes turned, and swept Junzhang Afu and Junyan before Shi Shiran spoke: "Go down to the lake to pick lotus canopies today, and I will give you three chapters of the law......"

Jun Yan had a bitter face when he heard it, and opened his mouth, but he swallowed his saliva under Qiu Chen's sharp gaze, and he didn't dare to say a word of dissent after all.

Junzhang and Ah Fu are very well-behaved, and they give their hands in a proper manner--

"Nephew, listen to my aunt!"

"The son listens to his mother's orders!"

Junyan blinked, looked at Junzhang and then at Ah Fu, and finally reacted half a beat slowly and thought that he hadn't made a statement yet, so he hurriedly sat upright. Just before he could say anything, Qiu Chen had already opened his mouth to announce: "First, you must follow the guidance of the shipwright when you get on the ship, and you are not allowed to move around at will; Second, do not act alone...... Third, it is forbidden to drink raw water and eat raw water chestnut chicken head rice and other things......"
