Jiang Yifan said goodbye and returned to the county office, and the feeling of inappropriateness in his heart was even worse. I think he finally reconciled with the woman of the Ye family and got rid of her, but now, how does he feel that the relationship in the future will not be broken?

Jinrong's estimate is very right, Qi Younian's identity is very easy to check.

Qi Younian is a serious businessman, there are detailed records in the yamen, who is the surname, where the household registration is, all remember clearly. They have not been registered for a long time, and the clerk will know it as soon as he flips through the account book.

In the second half of the day, Hongzhi was sent by Jinrong to investigate what kind of family background and foundation the Qi family was, and there were craftsmen who could draw drawings.

He didn't secretly investigate, he rode directly to Qinghe Village, and under the curious gaze of everyone in the village, he inquired about Qi Younian's residence and visited him.

Looking at the back of Hongzhi beating a horse and walking, the two villagers who pointed the way looked at each other.

"It's ...... Looking for the old man in the second room of the Qi family? The tall, thin middle-aged villager asked hesitantly.

Another man of normal stature nodded: "It should be." This person is dressed decently, riding a high-headed horse, he is definitely not an ordinary person, he should be a person with status, right? ”

An idler who came out to hang out came over and said, "When did Old Man Qi know someone with status?" It can't be the noble man the old man met when he was wandering outside, right? ”

"No, this is a young man, he doesn't look more than twenty, and the age difference is too far from the old man. When the old man broke out, it is estimated that he had not yet given birth. ”

"What? What the? Did someone come to trouble the Qi family? Someone else came to inquire.

The people in the village speculated one after another, and gradually went to the northwest of the village, but because the young man riding a tall horse entered the courtyard of the Qi family, he did not come to inquire.

Hongzhi followed King Yu to visit the breakfast stall twice, and Qi Younian naturally recognized him. Hearing the sound of horses' hooves from far and near outside the courtyard, and then suddenly saw this little guy with an unusual identity dismounting, he was extremely surprised, and hurriedly bowed his hand and said: "Little brother is really a rare guest, please come in." ”

Hongzhi pulled the horse into the door and said with a smile: "The old man is polite, let's go in and talk." ”

Qi Younian let Hongzhi into the courtyard, apologized to the villagers who were watching from the outside of the courtyard gate, and then entered the door to entertain guests.

Ye Xinyan and Mama Jin were doing work in the room, and when they heard the sound of talking in the yard, they came out to check.

Qi Jia originally followed Qi Younian and watched the old man do his work in the yard, but when he saw Hongzhi coming in, he still followed his grandfather, staring at him with big curious eyes.

Hirochi followed Qi Younian's guidance and tied the horse to a stake next to the barn. Only then did he turn around, arch his hand to Mama Jin and the two from a distance, and looked around by the way.

Qi Younian hurriedly asked him in the room: "The courtyard of our poor peasant family is very shabby and simple, which makes the little brother smile." Little brother house please. ”

Hongzhi hurriedly bowed his hand politely: "What did the old man say?" In this world, there can be several rich and noble families, and the days of ordinary people's families are like this. It's hot, so I won't go inside, let's just talk in the yard. ”

An Guogong's granddaughter lives here, and the old man dares to say that the family yard is simple, and he doesn't dare to talk nonsense.

"It's okay or fine." Qi Younian moved two chairs over.

Mama Jin took out a high stool from the house, made tea, and led Qi Jia back to the house by the way.

Hongzhi and Qi Younian sat down to talk.

Qi Younian felt a lot of psychological pressure in front of His Royal Highness King Yu's cronies, so he simply asked directly: "Little Lao'er doesn't go around in circles with you, little brother, dare to ask little brother, why did you come to our poor and remote place?" ”

Qi Younian knew that his home was not attractive, it was not worth staying too much, it was best to say something, and after saying that, send the guests early, everyone was comfortable.

Hongzhi chewed nonsense: "My uncle also knows that our sixth master has a lot of praise for your rice tofu. I'm here to ask how your rice tofu is made. If it's simple, let the chefs in our house learn to make it, and they can make it at home, so it's natural and convenient to eat. ”

As soon as Qi Younian heard that King Yu was going to inquire about their money-making business, his eyes looked in the direction where Ye Xinyan was.

This courtyard was not big, Ye Xinyan sat at the door of the outer room picking up broken rice, and heard the conversation between the two in the courtyard clearly.

Ye Xinyan is ostensibly the granddaughter of An Guogong, and the core has long been changed. Ye Xinyan, who has a public status, also has a lot of pressure on His Royal Highness King Yu's personal servant, and he doesn't dare to ignore others and not take them seriously.

It is often said that the whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister. The son of the emperor asked us how to make rice tofu, do we dare not tell others? Not to mention that King Yu will never take a fancy to such a small business, even if people really fancy this small money and want to grab business, they have to tell people in a real way.

What's more, Ye Xinyan didn't believe that Jinrong, who was the king of Yu, made a special trip to the countryside to ask about the practice for the sake of a stall snack. As for why Hirochi came here, I have to wait patiently for this kid to say it.

Ye Xinyan saw his grandfather coming over, so he nodded slightly, and motioned to Qi Younian to tell him.

Qi Younian also thought so, but he didn't understand the way the nobles in the capital did things, so he first asked Ye Xinyan's opinion.

Qi Younian tried his best to explain the method of rice tofu to Hongzhi, but Hongzhi didn't listen very seriously, and his eyes couldn't stop looking at this farmhouse yard. Finally, Hongzhi's gaze stopped at the carpentry work that Qi Younian was doing just now.

After Qi Younian finished explaining, Hongzhi did not express his opinion on the method of rice tofu, but abruptly pointed to three small wooden wheels and something like a bracket, and asked, "This is made by my father-in-law?" ”

Qi Younian sincerely told the practice of rice tofu, and originally wanted to tell Hongzhi in detail about the ratio of rice milk to water, as well as the amount of lime water. After hearing his story, they immediately changed the subject.

"That, the children of the Zhuang family, there is no object to play with, I am planning to make a bicycle for my little grandson."

As soon as Hirochi heard this, he knew that he could successfully deliver this errand.

He got up, crouched down in front of the parts, picked up the wheel with the little pedal, and asked, "Bikes?" Foot on this wheel? ”

Qi Younian stood up and said with a smile: "This is what my granddaughter came up with, when the car is ready, the child can sit on it and walk with his feet." Although it sounds novel, the little old man has carefully pondered the structure, and it should be possible. ”

Qi Younian has already discussed with Ye Xinyan the structure of the bicycle and the transmission system. He believes that as long as the material used to make the wheels is wear-resistant and tough, it will definitely make the car move.

Hongzhi had also seen Miss Ye and Grandma Jiang in the capital, and when he heard that this thing was thought up by Ye Xinyan, he couldn't help but glance in the direction of the door of the room, and the doubts in his heart were even worse.

The old man said, the idea was come up with by the eldest lady of the Ye family? Does that mean that the sketch in the sixth master's hand was also drawn by her? Grandpa Guo's reckless granddaughter can actually have such ability? Haven't you heard of it before?
