Chapter 152: Fan
Liming raised her head and looked at Xu Tiantian, there was a hint of sadness in her eyes, but in her heart she understood that the displeasure in her eyes was definitely not because of herself.
"You are one of the few women I have ever seen in this world, at first I just thought you were special, but in the end I found that other people were too similar. What are your dreams? β
Xu Tiantian suddenly smiled, this was the first time someone asked her if she had any dreams. When I came to this place, I was just forced to be helpless, others became princesses and princesses through one day, but when I came to her, she was just a country girl who was nothing.
"Dreams still have to be had, what if one day they come true by accident? My dream is to be rich, to get rich, and to have a lot of money! Xu Tiantian looked up at the stars in the sky, and the light in her eyes made Liming feel that she was out of reach.
She was obviously beside him, but there was a sense of distance between the two of them.
Dawn smiled, "This looks like your temperament!" β
Any woman in this world may feel a little cheesy when he says this, but these words are different from Xu Tiantian's mouth.
She has a frank temperament and has always been the same. That would probably only be heard from her mouth.
Xu Tiantian couldn't help but laugh out loud, Xuan Ye just watched the two of them talking and laughing from the side, but he couldn't hear what they were saying, his hands were clasped tightly together, and he looked at the two people in front of him.
Xu Tiantian raised her head and looked at the moon in the sky and hid in the dark clouds, "It's not early, you better go back early, otherwise let your father know that you are running around again, and I don't know how to punish you." β
Liming looked at Xu Tiantian's side face and opened his mouth, as if he still had something to say, but in the end he swallowed it all, and some things were buried in his heart with the passage of time.
"Then you should rest early, and when I am free, we will ask for a drink here."
Seeing Liming leaving, Xuan Ye glanced at Xu Tiantian again, and then returned to the palace.
It was already hot in the summer, and the cicadas on the trees kept chirping non-stop to make people feel noisy, and Dawn tiptoed around Li Cheng, thinking that he could sneak out, but before he could take the other foot out, Li Cheng turned around.
"If you don't study hard in the study to gain fame, where are you going?"
Liming reluctantly retracted his feet, and took the fan in his hand and fanned the wind a little impatiently: "Dad, I've been at home for a long time, I'm not the one who reads, even if you make me become a nerd in the study every day, I won't be lifted." β
The garrison is the military attachΓ©, and he really can't stand those crepe words. What's more, his father is also a military general, so why bother to embarrass him as a son.
"Presumptuous, I'm not doing this for your good, now that the world is peaceful and prosperous, not all the people who have a place in this court are civil officials. Now that everyone in the family is a military general, I can only count on you. β
Liming was not convinced, but he could only mumble in a low voice: "Our family doesn't have that piece of material, since the beginning of the dynasty, which man is not a general, I am born to be useful, why bother to learn those crepe things?" Could it be that the civil officials above the court just said a few words? β
Li Cheng no longer listened to his defense, "That's it, I'll pay you back a few days for these things like studying, today the Seventh Prince specially made an invitation to invite you to go to the lake together, this matter, you must go!" As he spoke, he took out the invitation card from his cuff.
Dawn turned her head to look at the invitation, "I'm not going!" Where is the kung fu of that Shilaozi? β
Li Cheng glared, and raised his hand, and Liming hurriedly closed his eyes and was about to flee.
"If you don't go, you see that I won't break your dog's legs!"
Like a deflated balloon, Dawn took the invitation unhappily, "I'll just go." β
Li Cheng nodded, and his face looked a little better.
"Seven Princes!"
Probably due to the heat of summer, the wind by the lake is cooler. Xuan Ye's original intention was to keep Liming away from Xu Tiantian, and today he invited most of the famous ladies in the city who have not yet come out of the cabinet.
Liming's mind was not here, and when he saw Xuan Ye from a distance, he only arched his hands.
Xuan Ye waved his hand, sat aside, picked up the tea next to him and smelled it, this tea was fried by Xu Tiantian himself, even the best tea leaves in the capital could not compare to the fragrance of this tea.
"The prince of the garrison seems to be absent-minded, but if you have anything on your mind, you might as well say it and listen to it, maybe this king can explain a thing or two for you."
Liming smiled lightly, it was in Xu Tiantian's shop, he saw with his own eyes that Xuan Ye was full of diligence like a buddy, and he could ask a prince to put down his body like this, which showed that Xu Tiantian was in an unusual position in his heart.
"I saw a lot of rudeness in the sweet shop that day, and I ask the prince to forgive me."
The tea in Xuanye's hand was stunned for a moment, and then immediately returned to normal, "It's just some trivial things, and this king has never taken it to heart." What's more, Tian Tian really regards you as a friend, and I naturally won't blame you. β
Liming's face was cold, he knew that Xuan Ye's words were just mentioning him Xu Tiantian just regarded him as a friend, and he hoped that he wouldn't have any wrong thoughts.
"What the prince said is very true, so it seems that I have a small belly and chicken intestines."
Xuan Ye nodded and stood up: "Since everyone is already here, don't be stunned here, get on the boat!" β
The crowd obeyed and boarded the boat one by one.
A gentle breeze blew in, and the lotus flowers in the pond came with a burst of fragrance, and the petals swayed gently in the pond water. While everyone was intoxicated by the coolness, they ignored the gentle shaking of the hull.
"Ahh
At this time, most of the people have already boarded the boat, but there is a woman who fell behind, and just about to board the boat, the boat shook slightly, and the woman subconsciously supported the person next to her, but the maid who was waiting on the side did not react behind her, and the woman fell backwards, seeing that she was about to fall into the water.
Hearing the woman's scream, the people on the boat realized something, Dawn subconsciously put down the things in his hand, and gently held the woman in his arms on tiptoe, preventing her from falling into the water.
"Girl, are you alright?"
After both of them landed safely on the boat, Dawn asked carefully.
The woman was already a little frightened, and was rescued by Dawn, after all, the man and woman couldn't stand it, but the two of them still maintained the posture of hugging each other, looking extremely ambiguous, and couldn't help but blush.
"Thank you Gongzi for helping, otherwise the little girl is afraid that she will become a soup chicken today, and the little girl is fine."
The woman took a step back and was generous, but her face was slightly red, but she betrayed her completely.
Xuan Ye raised his eyebrows and looked at the two, took a sip of tea and did not speak.
"The prince is so Yaxing today, how did you think of gathering all of us together to come here to visit the lake?"
Xuan Ye just smiled lightly, picked up a piece of pastry next to him and put it in his mouth, this pastry was very different from what Xu Tiantian made. Since eating what Xu Tiantian made, Xuan Ye found that even those cooks in the palace were far inferior to Xu Tiantian's cooking skills. He frowned slightly, put down the pastry and didn't touch it again.
"I just think that this king has never had a meal with everyone for a long time here, and with today's good weather, he invited everyone to come over to visit the lake and take a look at the scenery here."
Everyone kept echoing, Dawn didn't come today, Xu Tiantian's ears were a little clear, Li Xiaohui put down the account book in her hand, and glanced at Xu Tiantian with her head on her back.
"Why didn't the little boy of the garrison come today? The first few days I followed you like a heel worm every day. β
Xu Tiantian filled in all the empty melons and fruits, wiped the sweat on his forehead, and looked around the store for a week.
"People just feel a little bored and come here to pass the time, where can they come and take care of our business every day? By the way, you can find a craftsman when you have time, I have something to do. β
Li Xiaohui nodded, it was very hot in this shop, and if you want to ensure that the seafood is fresh, you have to come in on the same day, and then make it on the same day. But the weather is getting hotter and hotter, and there are not many customers at all, and if it continues like this, I am afraid that it will not be long before they lose money.
Xu Tiantian was holding a charcoal strip on rice paper in her hand, and she didn't know what she was drawing, Li Xiaohui looked at it and didn't understand.
"Tiantian, what are these things you are drawing? Why can't I understand it at all? β
Xu Tiantian wiped the sweat from her forehead, looking at the pictures she had drawn, she felt a sense of accomplishment.
"Seeing that the weather is getting hotter and hotter, and the business of the store is not as good as before, it is natural to find a way to save the business. This thing is called an electric fan, and as long as you assemble these pages together with this outline, and then turn it with the power of water, there will be a very cool wind. β
Li Xiaohui's eyes widened and she just felt that it was magical, such a small thing could blow out the wind? But Xu Tiantian really gave her too many surprises, and for a while she only had expectations for this little thing.
Since there is no electricity in this place, even if there is an electric fan, it has no effect, so Xu Tiantian simply revised this electric fan, as long as it is placed in the water, made into the shape of a waterwheel, and there is water to exert force, it will naturally be driven by water.
Xu Tiantian put one on each table, put water, and there was a small waterwheel in the basin, and the water circulated and flowed, driving the fan to constantly have a cool breeze blowing.
