In recent days, Shangguan Juan's mind has been on the manufacture of waterwheels.

As soon as she proposed that she needed a waterwheel to irrigate the fields, she sent a stack of waterwheel drawings for her reference, and she was dazzled these days.

It's just that these waterwheels have their own benefits at first glance, but they are all inappropriate when they are tried. Shangguan Juan told the craftsmen about his ideas and considerations, and asked them to redesign and manufacture.

"Eat the king's luck, bear the king's worries. I hope you can give me a satisfactory design as soon as possible. After Shangguan Juan finished speaking, he left with his hands in his hands.

Master Li shook his head and sighed.

Shangguan Juan stopped when he heard the voice: "It's so dignified, what are you sighing for?" ”

"Miss, I've been rushing to work for days, I can't stand this old bone, I can't even see the drawings designed by the Ministry of Engineering, I'm ...... Not to mention. Why don't you just let me go back! Master Li said with some eagerness.

The subordinate on the side handed over the tea, Shangguan Juan took it and handed it to Master Li, and looked at the people who were busy with their heads bowed: "I admit that I am a little harsh, just for the sake of the people, and please bear with all of you." After speaking, he looked at Master Li again, "Master Li, I can trust your craftsmanship the most." Even if you give up, who else can I count on! ”

Master Li was ashamed when he heard this. Even she, a pampered Miss Houfu, can temporarily leave behind the life of fine clothes and fine food, and worry about the people all the time, as a common person, he is well aware of the people's suffering, so what reason is there not to be serious and hardworking?

What's more, Shangguan Juan values himself so much.

He arched his hand and said: "Thanks to Miss's attention, the old man is willing to do what he has learned all his life!" ”

Shangguan Qian nodded with satisfaction. After getting Master Li, it seems that she can take a breath.

Master Li and the people from the Ministry of Industry rushed to work day and night, and Shangguan Juan was not idle, staying in the house and reading all kinds of tool-making books, and finally found some good ideas for reference, and she quickly told the workers some of the inspiration in the book.

A few days later, Shangguan Juan was staying in the study and taking a nap, when he suddenly heard Vanilla shouting outside the door: "Miss, Master He is here." ”

When Shangguan Wan heard this, he got up from his chair excitedly and almost fell. Fortunately, he was supported by Mu Chenyu, who was standing on the side, and his eyes were quick.

Shangguan Wan smiled dryly: "He Yihuan must have sent the drawings." These craftsmen and carpenters are really not vegetarians, and the news came out so quickly. ”

"That's what Miss said." Mu Chenyu let go of the hand around her waist and turned to open the door.

Shangguan straightened his robe, coughed dryly, and sat back in his chair.

He Yihuan entered the door and listened to Shangguan Wan when she couldn't wait to ask:

"Lord He, is there a result from the Ministry of Works?"

"Yes." As he spoke, he took out the drawings in his sleeve and handed them to Shangguan Juan, "This is a newly designed drawing, please take a look at Miss Shangguan." ”

Shangguan Juan took it, and at first glance at the drawings, he only felt that the appearance was peculiar, and then he looked at the structure, which was also very exquisite.

The center of the wheel width is used to hug the thick axle, the transverse plate is more than twice as large as the previous wooden bucket, such a waterwheel can directly irrigate eighty or ninety acres of fields, both labor-saving and time-saving and labor-saving, the designer also added the vertical wheel, horizontal wheel and other designs, so that even if the amount of water is insufficient, you can also use the waterwheel with the help of animal power.

"Wonderful! That's wonderful. Lord He, I don't know which craftsman in the Ministry of Engineering designed it? ”

Hearing Shangguan Juan's praise for the design of the waterwheel, Mu Chenyu couldn't help but be curious, and looked at the drawings in Shangguan Juan's hand, which were indeed much better than the previous designs.

"Coincidentally. It just so happened that this craftsman admired the young lady for a long time. Knowing that I am coming today, he also entrusted me to carry him. Waiting outside the door now. He Yihuan said.

"Xiao Jiu, help me invite people in." Shangguan Juan hurriedly said.

Soon, Mu Chenyu led a person in. Shangguan Juan saw that the man was still young and had delicate facial features, and couldn't help but be surprised that he had such ability at such a young age.

It's just that she didn't seem to have seen him the other day.

"Gu Bei has seen Miss Shangguan." Coming to the courtesy.

Shangguan Juan smiled and said, "Hurry up." Did you design this drawing? Why didn't I see you the other day? ”

"Back to Miss Shangguan, I took a sick vacation a few days ago, and I only returned yesterday."

If the little craftsman is a girl, it can be said that she has a sweet voice, Shangguan Juan thought secretly.

Even though it's a boy, this appearance is so delicate that it's not inferior to a girl. She liked it very much when she saw it, and even more pity that he had such a talent at such a young age.

"I see. Lord Ho said you want to see me, but is there anything wrong? ”

Gu Bei took a step forward and knelt down: "The little one has seen the rake designed by the young lady, the design is exquisite, and the little one has never seen it in a paper book." The little one wants to worship you as a teacher! As he spoke, he simply kowtowed three times.

Shangguan Juan didn't appreciate his ability, the design of this waterwheel was the most satisfactory she had ever seen, Gu Bei was smart and capable, and the drawings she sent for the first time made her so satisfied, and she was lucky to be able to accept such an apprentice.

After thinking about it for a while, Shangguan Juan went to help Gu Bei: "Hurry up." ”

Gu Bei was slightly happy: "Did you promise to be small?" ”

"Don't be small. Since you recognize me as a master, I don't pay attention to these lifeless rules here. Shangguan Wan's eyes were bent.

"The master is above, please accept the apprentice's three bows!"

Mu Chenyu on the side was expressionless, he didn't know why, looking at the little kid and Shangguan Juan's closeness, he was very unhappy!

"Come, while Lord He is also here, tell us about your idea of this waterwheel, if Lord He also thinks it is feasible, we will rush to work as soon as possible." Shangguan Juan said, brought the hibiscus cake on the table to Gu Bei, and asked Mu Chenyu to bring two chairs, "Let's talk while eating." ”

Gu Beidao: "Actually, I can come up with this waterwheel, and the master has also helped a lot." ”

"Me?" Shangguan was puzzled.

"Yes. I heard about the master's proposal from my colleagues in the Ministry of Works, and I thought it was desirable, so I adopted it. Gu Bei explained.

Shangguan Juan was happy to hear this: "Being able to combine my ideas is also a great thing for Gu Bei!" ”

The two chatted with great interest, Gu Bei also fed Shangguan Juan a piece of hibiscus cake, and Mu Chenyu's eyes were ugly.

It's despicable to do whatever you want while you're young!

Mu Chenyu was unhappy in his heart, and thought about the reason why this was the case, because this little craftsman had an appetite for Shangguan Juan, and he really didn't understand the manufacture of these tools.

He Yihuan was very satisfied with the waterwheel designed by Gu Bei, considering that their master and apprentice had just met each other, and there was nothing important about him at the moment, so he retired from the acquaintance.

And Shangguan Juan and Gu Bei had a feeling of seeing each other late, and chatted until dusk.

"It's getting late...... Shangguan Juan said, Mu Chenyu's eyes lit up slightly, thinking that he could finally send the little craftsman away.

"You can stay for dinner!" Shangguan Juan said, calling Vanilla, "Vanilla, look at how the dinner in the kitchen is doing." ”

Mu Chenyu pursed his teeth, saw Shangguan Juan's gaze fall on him, and thought that he finally had a chance to speak.

"Xiao Jiu, you must be tired after standing here for so long, there is nothing for you here, you can go down and rest first." Shangguan Juan is empathetic and authentic.

Mu Chenyu insisted: "I'm not hungry. ”
