The cicadas on the trees chirped endlessly, and it was almost noon, and the sun was shining warmly on the ground, and the sun-dried ground was hot.

The whole courtyard was full of steam.

Qin Yi sat under the tree in the courtyard and recited the book, his back was already wet with sweat.

Listening to the cicadas, coupled with the fact that the weather is so hot, it is inevitable that you will be a little buoyant.

Qin Yi got up and scooped a scoop of cold water by the well to wash his hands and face, and his body was a little cooler.

When he sat down to endorse the book again, the courtyard door was pushed open, and Song Qi came in with a bag on his back: "Qin Yi, come over and see what I'm looking for." ”

Qin Yi put down the book and walked over.

Song Qi proudly put the bag on the ground and opened it for Qin Yi to see.

Qin Yi only glanced at it and said in surprise: "This is an iron pipe and wood." ”

Song Qi said while taking the things out: "You said earlier that you can make a fan that can have wind without a fan, and I think about using iron and wood, no, I just got some outside and take it to you to see if it is useful." ”

Qin Yi hugged those iron pipes: "It's useful, why isn't it useless." ”

He happily entered the house with his things, but after a while, he came in with a drawing, and he handed the drawing to Song Qi: "You find a blacksmith to make some parts according to the drawings and bring me a carpenter's tools." ”

"Okay."

Song Qi also wanted to see what the fan that could have wind without a fan looked like, so he happily agreed.

He ran out with the pieces of iron or something.

A few days later, Song Qi entered the door with the parts that Qin Yi wanted.

Qin Yi has also polished some wood in the past few days, made the fan pages of the fan, and some parts that need to be made of wood.

After getting the iron parts, Qin Yi started the installation.

The fan he was going to make was not big, and coupled with his ingenuity, it didn't take long to install the fan.

Of course, this is not electric, but made by mechanical principles, and the power of the fan still requires manpower, but the manpower required is very small.

This fan is drawn, inspired by some small toys that pull the cord.

Qin Yi used the principle of these toys and made some modifications to make the fan more labor-saving.

He moved the assembled fan to the hall, and Song Qi was already waiting with his heart.

Seeing a strange-looking thing, Song Qi circled around several times, and muttered: "It doesn't look like a fan." ”

Qin Yi smiled, and suddenly pulled the rope behind the fan, the fan buzzed up, and a cool breeze blew, Song Qi felt a burst of coolness on his body, and the heat brought by running outside for a long time seemed to be gone.

He was so excited that he stood in front of the fan and refused to leave.

Wait until Song Qi is addicted to it before he sighs: "It's a pity, your talent is used in this, it's good that you have such spirituality when you write articles." ”

Qin Yi lowered his head and sighed that he was born at the wrong time.

Who didn't praise him in modern times, and how many people worshipped him, but in the Great Qi Dynasty, it was a pity that he was born in the wrong place.

When Song Qi talked about talent, he patted his head and said loudly: "I've been busy these days, but I forgot one thing." ”

As he spoke, he handed the article revised by Cheng Yanluo to Qin Yi: "This is the article revised by that gentleman, take a look." ”

Qin Yi took it and looked at it, and the more he looked at it, the more he felt that Mr. was his confidant.

This article is really well revised, it didn't change his views at all, but helped him make a steady improvement, and that gentleman seems to have a good understanding with him, and the changes of Mr. are his shortcomings, and some of the points mentioned by Mr. in the article really coincide with him.

"This gentleman ......"

Qin Yi was very excited, grabbed Song Qi's hand and begged: "Brother Song, take me to meet this gentleman, he, he is really Yi's confidant." ”

Song Qi shook his head ruthlessly: "It's not that I won't take you to see me, yes, it's that Mr. doesn't see others, if you have to go, I'm afraid that Mr. won't see you and me again in the future." ”

Qin Yi hung his head, a little frustrated: "It's really a pity." ”

Song Qi patted him on the shoulder: "It's a pity, as long as Mr. is willing to guide you, it's a good thing." ”

He pulled Qin Yi to sit down: "Mr. criticized me, saying that I delayed you, and said that everyone has their own strengths and weaknesses, your shortcoming is not flowery rhetoric, writing articles is too rational, but this is also your strength, rationality makes your thinking meticulous, logical and rigorous, Mr. said that you must be very strong in arithmetic, like to write facts and tell the evidence, and also love to use data to speak, saying let me not avoid your strengths and weaknesses, erasing your nature, and asking me to guide you to your strengths, so as to live up to your talent." ”

After Qin Yi heard this, he felt more and more that this gentleman knew him too well.

He really wanted to worship this gentleman as a teacher at once.

It's a pity......

Qin Yi panicked in his heart: "It's a pity that Mr. doesn't like to see me, otherwise wouldn't it be nice to ask Mr. for advice or two." ”

Song Qi smiled bitterly: "Mr. also has Mr.'s difficulties, he doesn't see you, don't force it, write more articles in the future, I brought it to Mr. to see, let her correct it more." ”

"That's all there is to it."

Qin Yi was still a little disappointed.

But thinking that the gentleman was still willing to guide him, this was a good thing, and he was happy again.

In the next few days, Qin Yi asked Song Qi to get parts and assemble the second fan.

In this way, Qin Yi and Song Qi each have a fan in their bedrooms, and the two of them sleep much more peacefully.

However, both of them are shrewd and cautious, and the fan is only kept in the bedroom, and has not been moved out to show off.

Both of them know that such things can only be used quietly, and they can't let outsiders know about them, let alone make a lot of them out and sell them.

Because both of them are powerless and powerless, if they really want to take out this play, they are afraid that there will be no bones left for people to gnaw.

Especially Qin Yi, Qin Yi is skillful, the fan is made by him, if people know, no powerful family will arrest him, and since then he has been squeezed hard until he has no value, I am afraid that Qin Yi's life will be ruined.

In this way, Song Qi and Qin Yi don't like to go out all summer, in addition to teaching and learning from one to study, from time to time, Qin Yi writes articles and notebooks, and when he saves more, Song Qi takes them to Cheng Yanluo.

Cheng Yanluo would give Song Qi the corrected book and approved articles every once in a while.

One summer, Qin Yi benefited a lot from Cheng Yanluo.

He also turned around and talked to Song Qi, wanting to ask who this gentleman was, but how could Song Qi, an old fox, be tricked by Qin Yi, which made Qin Yi very depressed, and also prompted Qin Yi to study harder.

Cheng Yanluo got the blue eyes of the Empress Dowager Cao, and he would go to the palace from time to time.

She will also tell the Empress Dowager Cao about Qin Yi's new words, and sometimes, she will also comment on Qin Yi's articles to the Empress Dowager Cao.

Although Empress Dowager Cao is a tiger girl, her literary literacy is also very good, and she gave Qin Yi's articles a lot of suggestions, and Cheng Yanluo also wrote them down one by one, and turned them into manuscripts for Song Qi to bring to Qin Yi.

Cheng Yanluo just treated Qin Yi as a child, thinking that she was just helping a child from a poor background to work hard, and she never wanted to meet Qin Yi.

On the contrary, Empress Dowager Cao kept Qin Yi in mind.

It's just because many of Qin Yi's views are the same as Emperor Pingchang, and Empress Dowager Cao watched Qin Yi's behavior and felt that this child would grow up to be an official in the future, and he must be a practical person, which is definitely different from the current officials who are exaggerated and greedy for wealth and elegance.

She felt that Qin Yi's steadfastness and hard work coincided with Emperor Pingchang, so she liked Qin Yi very much.

However, Empress Dowager Cao didn't want to see how the child was, but just remembered in her heart and wanted to help him when he was in trouble.
