When Ye Lan'er went in, she found that things were far worse than Yu Feiyuan stabbing Gu Qingchen with a sword.

Because Gu Qingchen was holding a sword in his hand, he was impressively protecting him, his eyes widened angrily, and he stared at the jade flying kite and roared in a low voice with half fear: "Who is coming!" So what's going on!? ”

He looked frightened and funny, and in Ye Lan'er's opinion, it was as if he really didn't know the Jade Flying Kite at all.

Seeing Ye Lan'er also walk in, his sword waved in front of him, obviously becoming more nervous: "For the sake of you two women, I won't make a noise, give you ten counts of time, and disappear in front of me!" ”

Ye Lan'er was extremely angry in her heart. When she came out, she deliberately changed her face, and Gu Qingchen didn't recognize it.

However, in order to recognize Gu Qingchen, Yu Feiyuan only applied a little powder, and Gu Qingchen had no reason not to recognize it.

"Gu Qingchen! Take a good look, who is the person standing in front of you? Ye Lan'er roared angrily.

Gu Qingchen: "En? With a sigh, he put away his sword, turned around and took the candlestick beside him, and walked two steps towards Yu Feiyuan and Ye Lan'er.

Then the light of the candlestick, this time he could see it clearly.

But he turned and placed the candlestick on the table, and picked up his sword again.

"Who are you? Never seen before! I know that there are countless women in the entire Xiyi King City who covet my nameless beauty, and there are endless ways to get close to me. But it's so ingenious to go straight into my study like you!

Okay, okay, for the sake of you being just a hostage girl and a first-time offender, I don't want to worry about you, so let's go! ”

Ye Lan'er felt inexplicable, she glanced at the jade flying kite beside her, only to see that her eyes were full of tears, and she bit her lip without saying a word.

Ye Lan'er was really distressed, she pinched her waist with both hands: "Gu Qingchen!" Are you out of your mind! Look at it, this is your childhood sweetheart's cousin Jade Flying Kite! ”

Without waiting for Gu Qingchen to say anything again, the sword in Yu Feiyuan's hand had already risen and stabbed Gu Qingchen straight to the door.

Gu Qingchen screamed in fright and raised his sword to block. His posture with his sword was clumsy and ridiculous, and he was not in a hurry. While resisting, he shouted for help: "Someone! There are assassins! ”

Ye Lan'er heard that there was movement outside, so she stopped Yu Feikite with all her strength, and took her to leave the princess's mansion before the guards in the mansion arrived.

The two walked in silence on the empty street.

Ye Lan'er had a thousand words, but when she saw Jade Fei Kite's face and Tieqing's face, she decided to keep silent first.

Almost stagnant air.

In the end, it was Yufei Kite who spoke first: "He's not a cousin. ”

Before Ye Lan'er could say her doubts, Yu Feiyuan continued: "My cousin won't fail to recognize me. At the same time, my cousin's martial arts master is a mysterious master, far above me, but just now I tried him, and he doesn't know any martial arts at all. ”

Ye Lan'er tightened her brows: "I also think that he shouldn't be a light dust boy, but the search technique has determined that it is him." ”

Jade Flying Kite paused: "This is also where I am confused. He looks exactly like his cousin, but neither his temperament nor the details match. I don't know what the hell is going on. ”

"Perhaps, when Brother Gu was in Xiyi, he encountered an accident that made him lose his memory. It is highly probable that after the loss of memory, a person's temperament changes drastically. ”

Yu Feiyuan shook his head: "So, why does he remember that his name is Gu Qingchen?" ”

Ye Lan'er was also a little confused, so she had to say: "Let's tie him up another day and interrogate him well." ”

Jade Fite pursed her lips and stopped talking.

That being said, it is not easy to tie up the princess of a country, the dignified Tuoba nameless, from the princess's mansion.

First, the guards of the princess's mansion are not strict, and secondly, this nameless Tuoba is huddled in his study all day long, and he basically won't even step out of the door of the study.

Jade Flying Kite is a little lacking in interest, she has been doing everything in the past few days, and she has even talked a lot. Only Ye Lan'er planned alone, no matter how she thought about it, she felt that it was a bit difficult.

She sighed: "It seems that we can only wait until one day when he goes out." ”

So the main activities of Ye Lan'er in the past few days are to guard the main gate of the princess's mansion during the day, listen to Gu Qingchen's movements, and carefully draw her own drawings at night.

Within a few days, Gu Qingchen didn't wait, but her drawings were all drawn.

Find the best carpenter in the city and follow the drawings. Ye Lan'er looked at this behemoth and was very satisfied.

However, here's the problem.

How could something so large be transported from the carpenter's house, and how could it be transported to the river?

The sad Ye Lan'er had to pay another silver money, let the carpenter dismantle the thing, find a measuring carriage and load it and send it to the riverside hut that Ye Lan'er had selected in advance, and then hired five laborers to help the carpenter reassemble it together and fix it on the river.

The water pushes the fan blades, and the waterwheel begins to spin rapidly. The rotating fan blade drives the bearing to do reciprocating motion together, and only the end of the bearing needs to be connected to the stone mill, and an automatic grinding machine without any effort is formed!

The laborers and the carpenter looked at the behemoth in amazement. Ye Lan'er gave them a reward, and it was widely publicized in the city, and for a while, the news of the opening of the "River Noodle Mill" spread all over the streets and alleys.

Anyone who needs to grind noodles can come to the "River Noodle Mill" and use the equipment provided by the noodle mill to "grind noodles independently". That means that Ye Lan'er rents this thing to guests for use, and she doesn't have to do it herself, and she can easily make money.

She discussed it with Tian'er, and received two cents for a load of grain. The price is moderate, and you only need to pay two pennies, which can save you the fatigue of grinding.

And it's summer, the water is fast, the stone mill is extremely fast, and the efficiency is very high. Once the grain is worn out quickly, there is no need to waste too much time.

Ye Lan'er asked the carpenter to build five more of the same waterwheels, as well as a trial windmill.

It is located in the northwest, and the wind and sand are originally large. If the windmill is installed at the tuyere, it will definitely be more powerful than the waterwheel.

But...... Here's the problem.

Ye Lan'er's "River Noodle Mill" has no customers at all.

First of all, her flour mill is by the river, which is a little far away from the residential areas of ordinary residents, and the road is rugged and uneven, so it is tiring to carry grain to grind noodles.

Secondly, ordinary people are reluctant to pay those two pennies, preferring to sell their labor. Those with a well-to-do family have slaves and even slaves, and the master will not care whether these subordinates are tired or not, let alone spend that unjust money.

Ye Lan'er looked at her waterwheel that rotated day and night, calculating its production cost and daily wear and tear, and wanted to cry without tears.

Tian'er and Yufeikite were both pulled by her, looking at the empty flour mill, Tian'er pouted: "Sister Lan'er, our last entanglement is going to be spent by you, your noodle mill is really unreliable." By the way, let the carpenter make the waterwheel windmill, stop working quickly, otherwise, we may not be able to pay. ”

Ye Lan'er sighed: "Can you help me figure out a way?" This dough grinder of mine saves time and effort, but no one comes! I'm scared!

As long as people can come, we can sit and collect money! ”

Yu Feiyuan looked at Ye Lan'er's "machine" and couldn't stop nodding: "Lan'er, this idea of yours is really good." It's just that because it's new, people here can't accept it so quickly. ”

Ye Lan'er sighed: "Yes, what should I do?" ”

The three of them were worried when footsteps sounded outside the mill door.

Ye Lan'er and the others thought that a guest was coming, so they hurriedly went out to greet them, but found that it was a team of soldiers who came over with a man in white in the middle.

When I got closer, it was none other than Gu Qingchen, whose temperament had changed drastically.

In the past few days, Yu Feiyuan barely cheered up, and almost came out of Gu Qingchen's shadow, but he didn't wait for Ye Lan'er and them to tie up, and he appeared again.

He stood not far away and raised his voice and asked, "You are the owner of this flour mill?" ”

Before he could answer for a long time, a soldier shouted: "Taifu asked you something!" Don't answer yet! ”

Ye Lan'er hurriedly pulled the jade flying kite and Mao Shuntian and saluted, "Yes." ”

"May I go in and have a look?" Gu Qingchen was polite.

"Please."

Gu Qingchen took people around the not too big mill, and the expression on his face was very happy.

After reading it, he looked at Ye Lan'er and them again, and only then did he recognize that the two women were the uninvited guests that night.

Although they all made up and changed their appearances, their original faces were difficult to identify, but Gu Qingchen boasted of a pair of discerning eyes, how could he not see it.

But he didn't intend to expose it on the spot, and still with a gentle smile, he asked, "This noodle mill of yours is very good, but I heard that no one comes to you to grind noodles, right?" ”

Ye Lan'er pouted and retorted: "Not now, there will be in the future." ”

"I've already seen it, your waterwheel is a wooden structure, and it won't be long before the bearings need to be replaced, and it won't be long before those fan blades need to be replaced. Can you afford to wait? ”

Ye Lan'er sighed, this was not the time for her to be reckless, so she had to soften her tone: "Taifu, what should I do?" We are just some small people, running around for a living, Lord Taifu, can you help us? ”

Gu Qingchen smiled slightly: "This Taifu has this intention. ”

A gleam flashed in Ye Lan'er's eyes: "Really? ”

"It's more real than real gold. Come on! ”

Gu Qingchen waved his hand, and a soldier hidden in the team came over with a tray of silver.

"This mill of yours, along with your drawings, I want it. From then on, this is no longer your mill, but the mill of the government, the mill of the Western Xia royal court. Do you agree? ”

Ye Lan'er looked at the plate of silver, and calculated in her heart that there were probably hundreds of taels.

Xin said that Gu Qingchen, an old fox, actually wanted to buy out his intellectual property rights with one hundred and ten taels of silver.

Is......

"Great! Deal! ”
