Chapter 373: Brother and Sister Talk
"Brother, what are you talking about?" Without thinking much about it for a while, Li Hui felt that the two brothers were talking inexplicably!
Looking at Li Hui's innocent eyes and expression, Li Yujin was amused: "What do you say?" Hui'er, don't you know? So what are we moving to the capital for? He quipped.
"No, brother, what are you talking about this?" Li Huihong's face flushed, don't look at the two lives, it's still easy to be shy: "Isn't it that the two of you are about to go to the capital to become officials, so let's go?" She refused to admit it.
"Really? I don't know who took the initiative to tell my uncle to let our family move to the capital! Li Yuqian smiled warmly, and looked at Li Hui with a smile with Li Yujin.
"Okay, okay, don't you all know? Also said?? Li Hui pouted and pretended to be angry.
"We're just kidding, are you still angry? Big brother and second brother, haven't you been back for a long time, and I miss you too? Li Yujin was embarrassed to see Li Hui, afraid that she would be angry, so he hurriedly apologized.
"Got it, big brother, I don't know when you said daughter-in-law? My mother is in a hurry, and she says every day, don't talk about me, you two are also worried! Li Hui smiled evilly, who let these two laugh at themselves together, it seems that the two brothers should be most worried.
"Don't mention it, neither of us want to!" Hu hasn't mentioned this until now, because the two of them have just come back, and the heat hasn't passed yet!
Li Hui chuckled, looking at the embarrassed appearance of the two of them, she was very happy, who let the two of them laugh at themselves together: "Okay, okay." Is it okay if the two of us are wrong, my mother doesn't know what to do? You have to help us! ”
"Why should I help you!" Li Hui glanced at them obliquely. Very tsundere!
"Sister, you are the most talkative in front of your mother, and your mouth is the sweetest, you want to help, we don't want to marry a woman casually, okay? Okay, huh? The two big boys were coquettish in front of Li Hui, and they were also drunk.
Looking at the pitiful appearance of the two, Li Hui didn't pretend anymore: "Don't worry, I won't help you anyone, I will definitely not let you marry a sister-in-law casually, I have to pick well, you must be docile and filial!" ”
"Sister, you are the best, don't worry, my sister-in-law will definitely pass you in the future!" The two of them almost patted their chests and swore to the sky.
"But you can't be in a hurry at all, you're not too young, it's time to think about it, if you meet a girl you like, you must tell me!"
"Hui'er, your serious look is too similar to your mother!" Li Yuqian smiled at Li Hui's tone of the person who came over, it really didn't look like a little girl.
Li Hui rolled her eyes: "Am I not worried about you?" What if I can't find my sister-in-law in the future? ”
"Hui'er, don't worry, if you meet something you like, you will definitely be able to take a look, okay?"
"Okay, brother, remember, but you have to look for it!" Li Hui looked at the two of them, they were both almost twenty years old, and they were already married late: "By the way, there is still something I haven't told you, Brother Dongfang said, you are likely to be promoted to official position tomorrow, and you may be transferred to the capital at that time!" ”
"So fast? Are we two still young? The two of them didn't have to doubt it, they knew that it was Dongfang Ye's role in it, and it must have been his help, but it was estimated that it was also for Hui'er.
"Don't worry, we will work harder, don't let Dongfang Big Brother help us in vain, we can't lose face!" In fact, they understood that this was all Dongfang Ye's desire to improve the status of the Li family as soon as possible, so that it would be more logical for Li Hui to marry him.
"Okay, then let's work together!" Li Hui looked at the two brothers firmly, they all worked so hard for her, she couldn't do nothing.
"By the way, eldest brother and second brother, I have one more good news for you!" Li Hui smiled happily, wondering if the two would jump up happily for a while.
"What's that, Hui'er?" In the past few days since they first came to the house, the changes in the family have surprised them enough, and they don't know what surprises Li Hui will bring them!
"You'll know when you see it, follow me!" With that, Li Hui led the two to the backyard.
Li Yujin and Li Yuqian followed Li Hui inexplicably, could it be that there is something else in the backyard, and the backyard is also a place where everyone often goes! But as soon as they entered, the scene in front of them stunned the two, and the backyard was not as clean as it used to be.
I saw that the backyard was full of wood, there were sawdust everywhere, and a few men were constantly busy, and the wooden blocks on the ground were everywhere, and the two of them didn't even know how to get off their feet, for fear of stepping on the things they had made: "Hui'er, what is this for?" ”
The two looked up at Li Hui, who was pretending to be mysterious, when did there become so many carpenters in the family? How come they haven't heard of it?
"Brother, guess what this is for? What can we do with wood? ”
Li Yujin and Li Yuqian pondered, since it was a surprise for the two of them, it must have something to do with the two of them, thinking of what Li Hui just said about struggling together, Li Yuqian smiled knowingly: "Hui'er, is this a waterwheel?" Are they building water trucks? ”
"Second brother, you guessed it, they are building water trucks, and they have already built several of them! How's that, surprise! Li Hui praised me with a quick expression, which made the two laugh.
"Hui'er, you're so powerful, haha, we can take it back after the Chinese New Year!" The two brothers were full of satisfaction with this waterwheel, which was something for the benefit of the people.
Seeing the waterwheel, they didn't forget how Li Hui did it: "Hui'er, you haven't said how you invited these masters over?" ”
"Big brother, second brother, here's the thing" Li Hui told the two of them the original story.
The two brothers understood: "So that's the case, thank you for the help of a few masters!" ”
At this time, Master Guan and his sons stopped what they were doing: "Second Miss, these two must be young masters!" ”
"Yes, Master Guan, I've been busy these two days, and my brothers don't have time to come over, this is my eldest brother, and this is my second brother!" Li Hui introduced them one by one.
For Li Yujin and Li Yuqian, the Guan family has heard about it, and the most discussed by the descendants of the Li family recently is that these two young masters who are officials outside are coming back, and the waterwheel they built is also for these two young masters.
"The old man has seen the two young masters, do the two young masters have any orders?" Master Guan is respectful, although they are not subordinates of the Li family, but they will only rely on the Li family in the future, and the focus is on these two young masters who are officials.
Of course, they didn't know that the most powerful person in the Li family was Li Hui, and they didn't need to know.
"Master Guan, you're welcome, I'm sorry for you, I wonder if we can take a look at the built waterwheel?"
The two of them are now in front of them with parts, and they don't know what the whole thing looks like?
"Okay, the two young masters come with me!" Master Guan is very confident that after the first one was built, the waterwheels were put in a room, and the Li family deliberately vacated them to place the waterwheels, which shows the importance attached to the waterwheels.
The complete waterwheels were presented in front of them one by one, with a height of about three meters, and it made people's blood boil when they looked at it: "Master Guan, is this one made?" Can we see how it works? ”
Everyone in Lijia Village has seen it, but the two of them don't, although it is quite amazing to hear Li Hui, but they have not personally witnessed the usefulness of this thing, and there are always some not very firm ideas.
"No problem, then young master, you have to wait for a while, we have to unload these big parts of the waterwheel, get them to the river to try, I'll ask a few of them to come over to help!"
"Thank you, Master Guan, I'll go to the front yard to call people, and let the next people come to help!" Li Hui left the two brothers in the backyard to watch the work of a few masters, and she went to send someone over to help.
As soon as I heard that it was my young master who wanted to see the waterwheel, he needed to carry it out and pull it to the river, and the people were more active than the other, and they ran over to help, and after a while, the waterwheel was loaded into the carriage and pulled to the river.
It wasn't too far away, these things were assembled by Master Guan and his sons again, and the only difference from the last experiment was that it was colder now, and there was a thick layer of ice in the river, and if you wanted to try the waterwheel, you had to chisel it.
The subordinates hurriedly ran home again, took the shovel of the shovel, and the axe was the axe, and chiseled out a big hole in the ice there according to the position designated by Master Guan.
It was freezing on this day, and you can imagine how biting it was by the river, accompanied by a stream of cold wind, but everyone was happy now, they didn't feel cold at all, and they were hot and hot, and they were more comfortable than baking heating in the house all the time.
It's the same as last time, it's all about trying again, although the big guys have seen it last time, but it's just a little while, it's not fun at all, and when I saw that the Li family was going to pump water with a water truck this time, the big guys came over to join in the fun.
Master Guan personally taught Li Yujin and Li Yuqian how to use a water wheel and how to make it flow faster, and when they saw it in person, the two brothers had to sigh at the cleverness of the Guan family.
This is different from the feeling of listening to someone narrated, this is the subtlety of seeing the waterwheel myself, it is simply amazing: "Master Guan, you are so amazing!" ”
The two of them tried it separately, and they didn't want to come down when they stood up, how much work should be saved, and when the time comes, the bamboo will be used to make a long water pipe, which can completely pass through the field, and there is no need to pick and carry it to the field, which is too tiring.
"Young master, you are too polite, this is what I should do!" Now it seems that the Li family has given them a worry-free life, and it is really nothing to build two waterwheels by himself, not to mention that he is still selfish, hoping to use the power of the Li family to fulfill the last wishes of his ancestors.
The two young masters of the Li family have already been officials at a young age, and they have a bright future in the future, so I hope his choice is not wrong.
Li Yujin and Li Yuqian saw the mystery of the waterwheel with their own eyes, and they were relieved, and the villagers of Lijia Village followed it again.
The waterwheel is a very valuable thing, and after trying it, Master Guan carefully wiped it down, and transported it home again as when he came, and stored it carefully.
Back at home, Li Yujin and Li Yuqian were still immersed in that wonderful feeling, seeing the water in the river at their feet, it was so magically gushing up, and the mysterious feeling was unforgettable.
After that, the brothers and sisters called Li Anxi and needed to discuss important matters, and there was nothing to hide between them now, and they all knew the importance of the waterwheel.
"Uncle, eldest brother and second brother, the power of that family in the south is not so big, and they shouldn't know about our affairs, but we need to be careful in everything and not be careless!"
Li Hui frowned and thought, Bao Buqi's family will hear about the waterwheel from other places, and then it will be unfavorable to the Guan family, since the waterwheel has been built, sooner or later it will be known by the world.
At that time, it will be impossible to conceal it, so what to do is to stifle all the conspiracies of that family and prevent them from having a chance, so the secrecy work must be done well now.
Fortunately, the Li family said in advance that it was best not to let people outside know about this waterwheel, so the people of Lijia Village should not talk nonsense, and even if they do, they must be relatives and friends, and the speed of transmission will not be so fast.
"Hui'er, what you said makes sense, let's be prepared, so that in the future, our family's nursing home will arrange people, and someone will be on duty every twelve hours, just in case!" Li Anxi quickly made a deployment, because this is the same reason as the shopping mall.
The Li family made a fortune so quickly, how could no one be blushing, now that I think about it, no one dared to blatantly oppose the Li family at that time, it is estimated that it is still the identity of Dongfang Ye, but others are not less engaged in secret actions.
You must know that the waterwheel, if you use it well, will make you famous through the ages, and if you don't use it well, you will have no bones, and it will be very dangerous in any era.
So Li Anxi is very experienced, and Li Hui can't lag behind, she has several masters sent by Dongfang Ye in her hands: "Uncle, I also instructed the people sent by Dongfang Big Brother to let them pay attention at night, let's be careful from now on!" ”
"By the way, big brother, I don't know if you have a way to fold and report the waterwheel to the imperial court, in this way, even if those people know, they won't be able to make any big waves!"
"Hui'er, your second brother and I are now an eight-grade county order, and we are not qualified to write a recital, even if we do, we can't hand it over, and it won't go to the people above!" The officialdom is complicated, how can others let the two people with no background in the Li family grow bigger.
Li Hui frowned: "Then is there any other way?" ”
"Unless there is someone in the capital, you can directly hand over the fold to the top, so that the emperor will have a better chance of seeing it!" Li Yujin thought about it, and there was only one way.
I lowered my head and thought about it: "In this way, big brother, when you take the waterwheel away after the New Year, as long as you use it at the beginning, the people know about it, and send the written fold out, I will ask the people of Brother Dongfang to help and let him pass the fold!" ”
"By then, the wood has been completed, even those people in the south know, and there is no way, we promote the waterwheel in front, they have no objections, if there is, they will help the Guan family avenge this in one fell swoop!" (To be continued.) )
