【Chapter 2】Meeting

It was already completely dark.

In the dimly lit lecture room, the ink marks were lit by a ghostly candlelight, and he drew the structure of the light armor in front of him.

Except for the night cry of unknown insects and birds outside, the only sound in the air was the sound of her waving a brush.

The complex and boring lines of the brush, overlapping each other, silently tell the various clear or hidden connections between the parts, and gradually present the lively and vivid side of the Yanjia world in front of her. Yu Moji enjoyed it and enjoyed it very much.

Wei Linyuan, who was sitting on the side, was extremely bored.

Originally, Yu Moji could just take it to the warehouse to paint it himself. But tomorrow morning is Master Xu's class.

Xu Fuzi is probably the one with the most eccentric temper in the lecture hall, and his organization is simply to the point of rigidity, and the armor to be used tomorrow must be installed and placed in the lecture room today. Yu Moji couldn't move it to the warehouse anymore, so he could only squat in the lecture room to draw pictures after dark, just like now.

In fact, she didn't have anything by herself, so she just came over secretly to draw pictures after finishing work in the evening.

It's just that, probably because of the demeanor of the rich young master, Wei Lin is far from saying that Yu Mojin is a girl after all, and he is worried that she will stay here at night and be afraid; On the other hand, Yu Moji's handwriting is ugly and messy, and there is no chic style of a ruined son in Wei Linyuan's words. Wei Linyuan thought about it for a while, and said solemnly that after drawing the picture, he must personally write the notes on the corners and corners, otherwise he will be a goof.

Yu Moji takes people's money and eliminates disasters with others, as for where people want to stay, that's their business. Yu Moji is not easy to speak, so he can only slander silently, Wei Linyuan is sitting here, it is completely troublesome.

The troublesome deity soon couldn't sit still.

"Why don't we talk."

"Don't dare," Yu Moji didn't raise his head, "If you don't pay attention, it's easy to draw wrong." ”

"Then I'll talk to you, and you can answer if you want to, okay?" Wei Linyuan squirmed, "I'm going to suffocate to death." ”

Yu Mojin put down his pen, glanced at him, and said, "If you draw it wrong, will you still pay the money?" ”

"It's okay to finish it, don't worry about these ......" Wei Linyuan said, turned his head to her more serious expression, covered his face and smiled, "A lot of points, a lot of points." So, you chat with me, and I'll add another two. ”

"That's good," Yu Moji picked up his brush again, "you say." ”

"You're a ...... Handywoman," Wei Linyuan gave her a slightly more formal name for her work, "how did you learn these things?" I've been studying in the martial arts hall for two years, but I still haven't learned it. ”

Yu Moji said in his heart, that you don't need to work. She didn't dare to say that, but said, "I learned secretly when I was helping my masters." ”

Not always so. She had learned some fur herself, and had a special interest in the study of Yanjia.

In addition to eavesdropping on speeches, when she was on duty in the warehouse, she would also quietly take a few pairs of unused armor to split and compare; In the spare time of cleaning the library, she also found the opportunity to look through many Yanjia atlases, and carefully copied many interesting designs.

These acts of stealing chickens and dogs, she can't tell Wei Linyuan in detail. If they are discovered, they may not be able to keep their chores.

Wei Linyuan was surprised, "You are really amazing." As for these few structural drawings, I dare say that few of our students can draw them to this extent. ”

"Young Master Wei, if you are satisfied, I will rest assured," Yu Moji glanced at him weakly, "Actually, ......"

Halfway through her words, she suddenly lost her voice, only raised a finger to her lips, and then tiptoed to the window to take a look, and gestured to Wei Linyuan, "Someone is coming." ”

Wei Linyuan's expression was very frightened.

A young couple of men and women who are in the same room late at night can easily cause bad speculation. If Wei Linyuan's father was really like what he described before, he would definitely not be able to listen to those rumors.

Yu Moji understands these truths.

She looked around and found that the box where the armor was stored before was empty, so she quickly called Wei Linyuan to hide inside. She grabbed a few drawings by herself, threw them on the box she had just closed, and quickly resumed her posture of drawing.

The sound of footsteps grew clear.

In the darkness of the night, a ball of furry light floated to the door.

Yu Moji lifted a pair of frightened eyes, trying to make out the silhouette behind the light.

"Scaring you?" The young man carrying the lantern looked embarrassed. He stopped, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and smiled, "I'm really sorry, I got lost, and when I saw a light here, I came over to take a look." I'm a new Master, and you may not know ......."

“…… General Yuan. Yu Moji stood up and saluted.

Two days ago, when she was dressed up in lights and greeted at the door, she saw this person named Yuan Pingzhi.

He was one of the sergeants sent by the imperial capital.

This group of people said that they were "supporting military education in remote areas", but their military ranks were a bit excessive. It took several days for Yu Mochen to hear that supporting education was just a pretense to keep these people stationed in the lecture hall for a long time. Their real mission is to further explore the Chitose gold deposits in the Chilu Mountain area.

Chitose gold is increasingly in short supply, and even a place like Aige, which is not rich in mineral deposits, cannot escape the fate of knocking out the bones and sucking the marrow.

Yuan Yizhi, who came to knock on the bone and suck the marrow, was a harmless smile of humans and animals.

"So I know," he paused, probably not remembering who Yu Moji was, and actually showed a slightly embarrassed expression on his face, "What are you doing?" Do you want to do your homework? ”

This general from the imperial capital was much more approachable than Yu Moji had imagined.

Yu Mochen listened to the meaning of his words, probably regarded her as a student, so he simply got off the donkey and learned to talk about the rare female students in the martial arts hall, lowering his eyebrows and spitting, "Yes, this is the homework left by Master Xu......"

"Master Xu? Xu Da? "There is only one master in the lecture hall whose surname is Xu.

Yu Moji nodded.

"I know him." Yuan Pingzhi smiled and said, "Several of his disciples, relying on their brains, are all lazy; You are diligent. ”

Yu Mochen couldn't figure out whether he was praising or deprecating what he said, so he had to keep a shy smile.

The lecture room was really dim, Yuan Yizhi looked left and right, and said, "This candle flame is too thin, don't look bad at your eyes." ”

He walked in and lit the lamp on the wall.

Each lecture room has two gas lamps, which are usually used at night when there is an important matter. In order to match the identity of the people who teach here, the fuel of these lamps is special, and the proportion of Chitose gold in the recipe is not low, and it is very bright to light and the cost is quite high.

A picture flashed in Yu Moji's mind that was extremely dim because of its age.

When she was very young, she used to use a candle that was much weaker than the one in front of her to observe a mobile small drum used by a child of the Qi people to play.

The little drum that could beat its own rhythm was tattered, and the iron rust had a hole in it. Xiao Yu Moji squinted at the small hole, squinting at one eye to take a closer look at the mechanism inside, looking at it with great interest.

Then someone fanned out the candle with one hand and gave her a slap in the face.

"Little loser girl, be happy to burn your father's hard-earned money."

After many years, Yu Moji felt that his cheeks were burning again. But she didn't have time to stop Yuan Yizhi, so she could only symbolically wave her hand, "Actually, no...... I can see it. ”

"How can you see clearly with a candle? Your eyes are narrowed into a line," Yuan Pingzhi's smile was as warm and bright as the light of a gas lamp. He instructed, "If someone comes to ask, they will say that I asked you to order it when I passed by." I had just come back from outside, and the kid on duty at the gate knew I was going this way. ”

Yu Moji nodded, his mood a little complicated.

She has lived for more than ten years, and this is the first time someone has lit a lamp for her.

Yuan Zhizhi obviously only regarded this matter as a gesture and did not pay much attention to it. Taking advantage of the bright light, he glanced at the other two pairs of old armor stacked next to Yu Moji, as well as the parts removed from the armor of different standards next to him, and said, "You Master Xu are crazy?" Allowing you to draw so many pictures at once? ”

"I'm ......" Yu Mozhen blushed, it was really hard to explain that this was the homework that Wei Linyuan had saved for more than ten days. Countless excuses flashed through her heart, and she stammered for a long time before she said, "I think there may be something wrong with the design of these pairs of armor, and the waist is worse here than anywhere else." I want to fix it, restore it, and see if it's ...... as I thought."

"Sure enough, he's a good student." Yuan Pingzhi looked at her approvingly.

“…… Yes? Yu Moji was a little confused.

"Good at observation and willing to think, these are all good things," Yuan Pingzhi had obviously played the role of master, and after a slight pause, he said, "Well, let me give you a hint." These pairs of light armor have long been eliminated, and in the era of their service, the 'dragon waist' on the armor, that is, the mecha box that drives the armor, is much heavier than it is now - it must be dozens of catties. ”

"So that's the case," Yu Mozhen nodded, indicating that he understood, "The weight of dozens of catties is all pressed on the crotch, no wonder it is broken." I thought it was because the previous armor forging process was backward, and the light armor itself was not strong enough, and the parts wore each other out, which made it like this. ”

"You're right, there's a reason for that." Yuan Zhizhi, "Now the latest Yanjia has been improved a lot in design. It's just that it hasn't been extended to the whole army yet. Waige's side, I haven't used it yet. ”

Yu Mochen was interested, and just wanted to continue asking, but Yuan Zhizhi said, "Starting at the end of the month, I will take the 'Yanshu Test' course, if you are interested, I will talk more about it at that time." ”

Yu Moji had no choice but to agree.

It turned out that the master who taught the "Yanshu Examination" did often ask Yu Moji to help in class. It's just that if the ink marks are gone, the identity of the miscellaneous will be exposed.

After chatting with Yuan Yizhi with these few words, she felt quite deed, and she didn't want the other party to know that she was just a subordinate.

"It's late, although it's safe in the martial arts hall, after you finish painting these, let's hurry back to the hall." Yuan Pingzhi said, picked up the lantern he was carrying before, and was about to leave, when he suddenly stopped again and glanced at Yu Moji.

Yu Moji blessed his soul and hurriedly showed him the way, "Turn left and walk to the end, pass through the moon gate of the 'Huiyuan', and you will arrive at the place where you live." ”

Yuan Pingzhi laughed, thanked him and left.

Yu Moji craned his neck and looked out. Seeing Yuan Yizhi walking away, she sat in a daze for a while before picking up a few drawings in front of her and kicking the box, "Come out and come out." The person is gone. ”

The lid of the box was pushed open from the inside, and the fragrant Wei Linyuan came out.

Yu Mochen glanced at him, sighed, and said, "You wait a little longer, there are still two more to finish." ”

"So fast?" Wei Linyuan sat on the side, a little embarrassed, and said, "If I can be as powerful as you, my father will definitely feel much better." ”

"......" admonished the gentleman that the task of reading was too arduous, and Yu Moji consciously chose to give up.

The air was quiet again.

However, for Wei Linyuan, "silence" is used to break. He looked around and found the topic, "You called General Yuan just now, is it Yuan Zhi?" ”

"Yes." Yu Moji's attention was still on the construction diagram, "Do you know?" ”

"I heard that she is very capable," Wei Linyuan raised his eyebrows helplessly, "My sister is also a student of the martial arts, and after the group of people from the imperial capital came, she became a nymphomaniac at home every day, not to say that she wanted to marry General Yuan." ”

"How do you have the ability? He looks quite young at night. Yu Mozhen glanced up at him, "Your sister is quite cute." ”

"People are young, and they are already tooth generals. He usually looks dignified, and he has some attainments in the study of Yanjia, if you don't know, you really can't see that he is a military general. Wei Lin said, "As for my sister, I don't have the consciousness of being a beautiful lady at all, and my family is sad to death." She also specially asked someone to buy a custom picture scroll painted by General Yuan. My dad didn't like this cheesy stuff and scolded her several times. My sister was scolded and cried. Wei Linyuan said while shaking his head helplessly.

"Genre Scroll?" Yu Moji was stunned. This kind of painting scroll also requires high skills, but most of the depictions are local customs. Since the Wei family claims to be a scholarly family, it is understandable that they look down on this kind of market art.

"You don't know? General Yuan is a particularly versatile person. Wei Linyuan said again, "It's only been a few days since I came, so I'll go out to collect wind if I have nothing to do." My sister's confused look, alas. He sighed, shook his head, and said, "I was planning to ask General Yuan to draw one for her tomorrow, so that I could comfort my sister." Do you want to come along? ”

Yu Mochen hurriedly shook his head, "You run errands for your sister, what does it have to do with me?" ”

"That's okay," Wei Linyuan pouted, "I just heard that you and General Yuan can talk a lot." ”

Yu Mochen smiled and didn't speak again.

She quietly sketched those complicated lines, but she didn't know when a little turmoil rose in her heart, and it didn't calm down for a long time.
