Shan Huaisha is Xu Yuezhong's cousin and a friend of Nian Ganran, with Shan Huaisha present, there is no need to worry about unnecessary gossip, and it also saves Pei's worries.

Pei's secretly praised Nian Ganran for acting openly and thoughtfully, Shan Huaisha obviously thought of this, held Nian Ganran's hand affectionately, got up and smiled at Pei's family: "Sister Nian has to take me, I just can't be lazy." I have to accompany my sister on behalf of my aunt. ”

She pretended to complain, Pei Shi smiled and said a few words, and asked Forsythia to send the two out.

Forsythia stopped at the door of the inner study, and Qianyun, who had received the news, stepped forward, and still invited Shan Huaisha and Nian Ganran into the living room to sit widely, and after a while, he saw Xu Yuezhong stepping into the hall.

The two sides have seen it, and Nian Ganran tilted his head and asked while sitting down, "Xu Shizi wants to see me by name, is there something wrong with my drawings?" ”

This lazy greeting and straightforward tone is like a retreat from Nian Qian'an.

It deserves to be a sister.

Xu Yuezhong first sighed and then laughed, thinking of Nian Qian'an's strange appearance when facing him, there was a little smile on his face, and he shook his head and said: "It's not because there is something wrong with the drawings. Pearls got a new toy, and I haven't thanked Miss Nian yet. ”

On the side, Qianyun hurriedly sent a prepared thank you gift.

Although the Pei family had already sent a thank you gift on behalf of Xu Zhizhu, this was Xu Yuezhong's intention as a father, and he accepted it generously, and there was some surprise Xu Yuezhong smiled before he said anything, not at all like the legendary iceberg prince, he couldn't help but look at Xu Yuezhong a few times, and then smiled slightly, "If Xu Shizi has anything to ask, please say it directly, I must know everything." ”

This straightforwardness is also somewhat similar to Nian Qian'an.

Xu Yuezhong's expression unconsciously softened more and more, knowing that it was inconvenient to sit for a long time, so he also got straight to the point: "It was the little guy around me who mentioned it to me, and praised the drawings of the big girl, and Zhu'er couldn't put it down when she got a new toy, so she showed it to me, I saw that the mechanism of the toy was indeed exquisite, and I looked at the drawings of the big girl, and I had a few questions I wanted to ask." ”

As he spoke, he unfolded the drawings and motioned to look at the marks he circled, "Are there any restrictions on the size and materials used for these mechanisms?" ”

Nian Ganran leaned over to take a look, and his heart was already clear.

She made a wooden Ferris wheel and a short-track train for Xu Zhizhu, and Xu Yue asked about the most critical axles and springs.

Thinking that Xu Yuezhong concurrently served as the commander of the military department Langzhong and the Wucheng Soldiers and Horses Division, Nian Ganran became more and more surprised, and thought about it: "The toys made for Miss Xu are naturally only beautiful and small. If Xu Shizi wants to use it in any equipment of the military department, he can try to use tougher and heavier materials. As for the size, it can only be seen what it is used for, and it takes some manpower and material resources to experiment. ”

She is good at snacks and toys, not to mention that she doesn't understand cold weapons, and even if she does, she doesn't want to mix blindly, after all, in ancient times with many restrictions, how dare ordinary people touch things like iron and copper, and if you are not careful, you may get into trouble.

Xu Yue wanted to ask about this matter, but there was someone more suitable than her.

"The fourth uncle in the family is the head of the Ministry of Works, and Xu Shizi and my fourth uncle are officials in the same dynasty, why don't you ask my fourth uncle to help you refer to it?" Nian Ganran proposed: "I have an old craftsman in my hand, if Xu Shizi doesn't dislike it, just borrow it." Half of the formulas I wrote were learned from my father's collection of books, and half of them were revised in consultation with the old craftsman, who was much more experienced than me when it came to making practical large pieces. ”

She pushed what she knew and learned to the deceased Master Nian and the old craftsman under her name, and had already accepted the old craftsman to take her name, outsiders only thought she was talented, but she was not afraid that others would doubt her ability.

Xu Yue saw her again, and her warm smile revealed appreciation, and she muttered slightly: "Miss Nian is a cool person, so I won't be polite to Miss Nian." How about I choose someone to ask your old craftsman for a few days as an apprentice? ”

Only let others steal teachers, and do not use old craftsmen to really do things.

When it comes to the equipment of the Ministry of War, Nian Ganran is happy to have Xu Yuezhong arrange it like this, and seeing that Xu Yuezhong does not mention the fourth master, he understands after thinking about it: the eighth prince asked her to make a small waterwheel, maybe it is used for fun or other uses, and the eighth prince has always been close to the officials of the Ministry of Industry, Xu Yuezhong did not mention the fourth master of Nian who served in the Ministry of Industry, because he didn't want to have anything to do with the eighth prince.

Xu Yuezhong and Chu Yanqing have a lot of friendship, maybe the Yasukuni Mansion has already made a choice, in fact, it is the Six Princes' Party?

This thought flashed for a moment, and Nian Ganran had already smiled and responded, "Xu Shizi, don't worry, my old craftsman is a person who can only do things with his head bored, and I will explain to him the person who teaches Xu Shizi carefully." ”

The old craftsman wouldn't talk nonsense, and she wouldn't bother with it anymore.

Xu Yuezhong secretly sighed that Gan Ran was also a smart person, and it was easy to speak, so he hugged his fists and said: "So it's troublesome to think about the big girl, thank you for the big girl." ”

Shan Huaisha, who was sitting with her, listened all the way, and the initial curiosity and doubts had long since disappeared, and at this time, when she saw Xu Yue saluting upright, she smiled with disgust: "No wonder the prince wants to specially invite his sister to come, don't say what the prince said aunt doesn't understand, I listen to it boring, it's hard for my sister to be able to answer." ”

Xu Yue laughed heavily, and only said: "It's not mine to trouble the two of you to go today." ”

He has his own skilled craftsmen, but the drawings are read Ganran, and he must always ask Ganran seriously about the meaning of Ganran, and he can't use it without telling him.

Nian Ganran understood in his heart that most of these crafts were not passed on to the ancients, so he took the initiative to say: "This drawing is just a thing for me, since Xu Shizi is useful, just take it." ”

Xu Yuezhong didn't keep the two of them, put away the drawings and let Qianyun send them off on his behalf.

He went back to the second entrance, Nian Ganran and Shan Huaisha went out of the living room, but saw Xu Zhizhu playing in the flowers in the courtyard, I don't know when I came, I don't know how long I listened to the conversation, saw the two come out, he trotted over to say hello, held Nian Ganran's hand and looked up and smiled, first thanked the new toys, and invited: "Daddy will take turns off on the Qixi Festival, and he will accompany Zhu'er to visit the night market." Sister Nian is also with her aunt, okay to accompany Zhu'er for the holidays? ”

Nian Ganran touched Xu Zhizhu's blushing face, answered softly, turned his head and said goodbye to Shan Huaisha, "Xu Shizi is so solemn, don't delay the old craftsman." I'll go back and explain as soon as possible, so that I can call Xu Shizi back. Mrs. Xu's side, I have to bother Sister Shan to help me confess my crimes. ”

She was on official business, and entrusted Shan Huaisha to pass the word in the center, Shan Huaisha naturally would not force her to stay, and after sending away Nian Ganran's master and servant, she went to Pei's courtyard.

Mother Xu, who was left behind, picked up Xu Zhizhu and walked slowly, and quipped meaningfully: "The big girl likes to miss the big girl very much? This is the first time you have invited someone to spend the Chinese Valentine's Day together, and the prince can accompany him at that time. ”

"Big Sister Nian is different from others." Xu Zhizhu ran to the inner study after finishing her homework, and eavesdropped on the conversation in the living room under the indulgence of Xu's mother, and when she heard the words, she blinked her eyes and said, "Sister Nian is good to Zhu'er, but she doesn't stammer." When I saw my father, I didn't have nothing to say like those bad sisters, and I laughed ugly. Sister Nian doesn't rob Zhu'er of her father, and Zhu'er likes her. ”

The standard of children's comments is actually quite simple.

Xu's mother was dumbfounded, looking at Xu Zhizhu's serious little appearance and couldn't help laughing.

Here Pei Shi asked the beginning and the end, and after sending away Shan Huaisha, he couldn't help laughing, and sighed with Forsythia: "Isn't it good feng shui to miss your family?" There is a Nian Six Girl, the bigger the more lively and smart, and now there is a Nian Big Girl, not only ingenious, but also upright. ”

"It's a pity it's a girl's house." The answerer was the Jingguo Gong who had just entered the house, he took the hot tea offered by Forsythia, sat down next to Pei Shi and said with a smile: "I have seen the drawings she drawn, and even the staff and craftsmen who are good at this way say that the eldest girl has ingenious ideas and exquisite skills. If it's a man, he can take it and save it so much trouble. ”

Pei Shi laughed more and more, "So the big thing of your grandfather and son, can you really use the organ of the eldest girl?" ”

Yasukuni nodded affirmatively, "It's not just us who have taken the opportunity to miss the eldest girl. The Eighth Prince has been running to the Ministry of Industry these days, and he is also making new gadgets. When the time comes, if you don't seek to compete with the Eight Princes, the military department will not at least fall at the end of the six. ”

At this time, it refers to the emperor's holy birthday, and the Wanshou Festival is in the middle of the wax month, and the officials of various ministries have begun to prepare gifts at this time.

The Duke of Yasukuni was in the cabinet, and he was appointed as the secretary of the Ministry of War, and when he heard Xu Yuezhong mention the organs on the drawings, he decided to try to see if he could improve the old things.

Pei's family doesn't care about the official affairs of the masters, they only worry about their internal affairs, "No matter what the result is, it is all the ingenuity of the eldest girl." She is a little girl who has not been out of the cabinet, and your grandfather and son are not good at official business, so thank her with great fanfare. Now it seems that I am right in my words, and I have to contribute more to her wine business. ”

After hearing this, the Yasukuni Gong nodded thoughtfully: "He is capable." There is no one in the big house, and she is good friends with Sha'er, so it is just right for you to support her. ”

When Shan Huaisha set up the banquet, Pei Shi said bluntly in public: Nian Ganran's wine business has her share, please help the guests here.

It does not matter how much money is invested or not, but what is important is that the Yasukuni Government has shown its attitude of supporting it behind the scenes.

The more lucrative the business, the more difficult it is to do.

Now I don't have to worry about the new opening of the liquor shop, and there are no long-sighted people to make trouble.

Although Nian Ganran was grateful, he was also calm, only when Pei's was like this, he would repay the peach to the extreme, so he didn't shirk it, and only looked at the empty and Pei's matter: "Go back and draw up the terms of the dividend, and I will come to the door to discuss with my wife." ”

During the period, in addition to how lively the banquet was, there is no need to repeat it, when it was time to say goodbye after the banquet, Pei Shi pulled Shan Huaisha who was dressed in bright clothes with one hand, and pulled Nian Ganran with the other hand and said with a smile: "In a few days, the eldest girl will accompany Sha'er to the street to breathe." Zhu'er is naughty, Miss Nian doesn't have to accommodate her, Gui Yi will take you with you on the left and right, just let Gui Yi discipline Zhu'er. ”

Xu Zhizhu leaned on Pei's leg and pouted, "Zhu'er is not naughty!" ”

Nian Ganran patted Xu Zhizhu's head with a smile, turned his eyes to look at Shan Huaisha who was smiling, and bent his eyes, "Then I'm looking forward to the day of Qixi Festival coming soon." ”

In the blink of an eye, it was Qixi Festival, and the carriage of the Yasukuni Mansion arrived as scheduled, stopping at the side gate of the Yongjia Mansion and waiting for Nian to come out.

In the dim light, I saw Xu Yue sitting on a horse, and among the people who followed the car next to the car, there was no figure of Shan Huaisha's big girl.

Nian Ganran's eldest girl helped Nian Ganran cross the threshold, and took the opportunity to whisper: "Most likely it happened......

According to the plan, if Pei's family knew about the rumors in the market, he would never let Shan Huaisha and Xu Yuezhong go out together.

Nian Ganran smiled and said nothing, and after nodding his head to Xu Yue, he looked at Xu Zhizhu, who leaned out of the car door, and asked suspiciously: "What about Sister Shan?" ”

Xu Zhizhu explained while pulling Nian Ganran into the car: "Grandmother is drunk, and she stays at home to accompany her." Grandmother asked Zhu'er to bring the lantern back to her aunt, and the eldest sister should get in the car quickly. ”

Nian Ganran turned his head to look at Xu Yuezhong, who had the same complexion, pursed his lips and didn't ask any more, and bent down into the carriage.

Here, Xu Yue hit the horse on the side, protecting the frame and driving away the dust, and over there Chu Yanqing was stepping into the Ronghua Courtyard, and saw that Nian Qian'an was hanging a lamp on the tree with his feet, so he stepped forward and stretched out his hand, held the lamp pole and said, "Let go, I'll hang it for you." ”
