Chapter Eighty-Four: Kahina's Thanksgiving Gift

Merry and Corson are the children of the fourth in the family, and their actual age is not much older than Nevis.

And in terms of talent, it is not as good as the brothers and sisters in the clan, and the status of the Menke family is not too high.

But all in all, definitely taller than Navis.

After realizing their mistakes, the two siblings kept promising that they would not do anything like this today.

Luci glanced back at Navis, and as she watched her small body busy near the workbench, she suddenly had a new idea.

Immediately, he looked at the two siblings who were panting in front of him, and said, "From today onwards, you two will be responsible for giving Nevise a hand." ”

"Huh?"

Merry and Corson looked up at the same time, as if they hadn't listened carefully.

"Any comments?"

Lu Qi looked at the two of them lightly.

This gaze immediately made Melique Coson feel a great pressure.

Mei Li hurriedly smiled and said, "Of course there is no opinion, we are happy to serve." ”

However, the expressions of the two sisters and brothers were not very happy.

Navis is at the bottom of the family, not only because of her background, but also because she has been researching useless inventions all day, and I don't know how much ridicule she has received.

Known as the most "stupid" person in the Menke family.

Although they are not much better, how will they meet people in the future if they give Navise a hand?

Reading the words from their expressions, Luch got up from his chair and reached out to help them up.

At this, Merry and Corson showed flattered expressions.

"Do you think it's a waste of time to give Navis a hand?"

Luki asked.

Merry and Corson didn't answer, but they could tell they were thinking.

In fact, the two still have a question, that is, where His Royal Highness the prince has taken a fancy to Navis.

Luch spoke up again, "If I say that Navis is smarter than you two combined, you won't believe it. ”

Merry and Corson still didn't answer.

"That's it, a few questions, if you can answer them, I'll let you go."

As he spoke, Lu Qi smiled.

Hearing this, Merry and Corson swallowed and nodded.

Immediately, Luqi asked the two siblings a few questions that he had asked Nevis before.

It's just that when the first question, how is the sound transmitted, came out, the two were already a little confused.

Then three or four questions from Luqi came one after another, and Merry and Corson were confused.

I hesitated for a long time, but I didn't answer.

What sounds, how they spread, how they diffuse, how they intensify.

Isn't a sound a sound?

It spreads from the mouth, spreads from the mouth, and strengthens from the glottis.

Of course, this kind of answer was swallowed back into their stomachs, and they felt that something would definitely happen if they said that.

Looking at the bewildered expressions on the faces of the two, Lu Qi said lightly: "Navise can answer these questions." ”

Upon hearing this, the two siblings couldn't believe it.

Can that stupid Neves answer that?

"So, you two don't have many eyes, and you're stupid." Lu Qi smiled, "After living in the same family with her for so many years, I can't even see these advantages." ”

If someone else said so, the two would have scolded back.

But now, Merry and Corson could only hold back, their expressions a little aggrieved.

Is there any way to do that?

Navis doesn't go out at home all year round, the house is boundless, and even if they want to find out, they don't have much chance.

Who knew that she didn't show her mountains and waters, and she actually understood so much.

Although the two were still very skeptical.

But I also know that they probably won't be able to run away.

In this way, Merry and Corson were placed in the subordinate positions of Naviss, responsible for assisting her in all her work.

Naturally, she couldn't rely on Navis alone in printing, and she could make it easier if there were two people on her side.

For now, they need to go and change their clothes and take a few sips of water.

Looking at the backs of the two sisters and brothers, Lu Qi sighed a little for a while: "In a big family like this, it is inevitable that there will be one or two unlearned existences." ”

“?”

Looking at Luffy's gaze moving over a little, Lux immediately put a question mark and said unpleasantly, "Why did you look at me when you said this?" ”

Lu Qi looked away again: "I didn't look at you." ”

Lux raised her eyebrows, and suddenly became even more unhappy, and snorted: "No matter how much I don't learn and can't learn, I'm better than the two of them." Mr. Morse said that I was actually very smart, but I just didn't study hard. ”

Hearing this, Lu Qi couldn't help but ask curiously, "Then why don't you study seriously?" ”

"I'm so smart, why do I still study hard?"

When Lux raised her head and said this, her whole body seemed to shine with wisdom.

Lu Qi looked at her for a few seconds, and suddenly sighed, "Miss Crown, I have discovered one of your merits. ”

Lux blinked, curious, "What is it?" ”

So Lu Qi said: "Your advantage is that you believe everything others say." ”

This time, however, he had underestimated Miss Crown's wisdom.

She understood the meaning of this sentence immediately, and then glared at her angrily.

So the topic stopped.

Around noon.

The Menke family learned of His Royal Highness's visit, and the people warmly welcomed him.

Of course, there are Lux, Fiona, and Kahina.

No matter which of the three of them is brought out, they will be entertained by a wide range of people.

When the four of them visited together, the Menke family couldn't help but be a little surprised to learn that they were coming for Nevis.

If you change the young heir of the family, I am afraid they will not have such an expression.

They didn't ask for more details, but even if they did, Lu Qi wouldn't say.

And when he offered to rent the Menke family's workshop, the Menke family immediately stated that Luki could use it as he pleased.

So Luki accepted it.

The main reason is that it takes some time to find a workshop outside, and it doesn't necessarily have the level of the Menke family.

You know, as a family of craftsmen, the workshops of the Menke family are all top-notch.

What's in there.

So if you can be here, you can save a lot of extra expenses.

Soon, after a decent lunch.

In the afternoon, the production of the lead characters began.

The so-called lead character is a thin iron bar similar to a seal, and the text is engraved at one end.

To get fast printing, there are two processes in total, one is the production of lead type, which requires a certain amount of energy.

The other is the printing press.

Demacia had no electricity, so it was necessary to use a man-powered printing press.

The concept that Luci would give to Navis was a hand-cranked printing press, which turned the gears to move the entire printing press.

Someone else may need to understand for a while.

But to Lucie's surprise, it didn't take much time for Navis to understand what he meant.

Until half past two in the afternoon, the printing work was still running closely.

This time, Navis also had the help of Merry and Corson, and before that, she received a serious apology from both of them.

For this, Navis forgave them.

In fact, she was not bullied much, after all, it was basically verbal bullying, and it didn't cause her any harm.

Growing up without her father's protection, Navies' heart is stronger than others think.

So this one is kind of overturned.

The three of Lux also helped in the afternoon, although they didn't know how to operate the things on the workbench, but it was still no problem to work and act according to the instructions.

In this regard, Lu Qi lay in his chair and leisurely enjoyed the afternoon.

After all, his job is mental work, and he is already very tired.

It was about halfway past three.

The first lead note was made.

Navis walked over to Lucky's side with a lead note, cautiously trying to wake him up.

Before she could speak, Lu Qi had already opened his eyes and woke up, glanced at him and asked, "Are you done?" ”

"Well, according to His Highness's intentions, I made one first." Navis handed over the lead note in her hand and asked, "Is that so?" ”

Lu Qi took it, and in his hand was a lead note about four centimeters thick, no more than a fingernail, and from the end of the head, you could see the lines of a font.

Immediately, he nodded and said, "It's basically the same, and the follow-up can be followed by this." ”

Seeing that he felt okay, Navis breathed a sigh of relief, and her heart became more and more motivated.

Watching her ideas come to fruition step by step, as a craftsman, she will naturally feel excited.

With that confidence, Navis went back and continued to work.

From now on, it will be easier, because the mold of the lead note is made, and only the font needs to be carved.

Moreover, Merry and Corson, who have a certain amount of experience in this job, can also do it.

To speed things up, Luki decided to use the two workshops next to him as well.

In this regard, Merry and Corson are a little difficult.

Sensing his expressions of wanting to speak and stopping, Lu Qi asked, "What's wrong?" If you have something to say, say it. ”

Seeing that he saw it, Mei Li smiled: "The third is our eldest brother's special workshop, he usually doesn't let others enter easily, and he specially explained to us before leaving."

Corson nodded as well.

He didn't dare to go to the third.

The eldest brother in the words is naturally the aforementioned Jared, the one who has entered the palace as a minister, and it seems that he has recently gone on a business trip.

As they spoke, Lu Qi had already opened the door to the third workshop.

The light shines in, and it is indeed very clean, and many tools are neatly arranged.

The light conditions look better than the first two.

"Yes, you two go and inform Nevish to move here, this workshop will be requisitioned by me later."

Luci glanced inside with satisfaction, and raised his hand to signal the two siblings to call Nevis.

"This"

"Big brother asked afterwards."

The two were still a little hesitant.

Lu Qi looked over and said casually: "If he has any opinions, let him come and talk to me in person." ”

These words are very domineering, full of meaning that cannot be refused.

Naturally, Merry and Corson didn't dare to say anything more.

So in this way, all three workshops were requisitioned by Luqi.

It is used to speed up the printing process.

Seeing that there was progress here, Kahina got up and prepared to take her leave.

Because Lucci's primary partner is the Illuminator Chapel, she not only has to tell her family about this matter, but also starts preparing in advance in other aspects.

Just last night, she thought it would take some time.

But I didn't expect such progress on the first day, and it didn't seem to take long.

Before leaving, Kahina looked at Lu Qi and suddenly said, "Your Highness, can you send me?" ”

Luqi noticed that she seemed to have something to say to herself, so she got up and followed: "Then let's go." ”

The weather outside was sunny and sunny.

The two walked side by side on the road, but it was a long way.

Kahina, who first asked Luqi to send it, never took the initiative to speak, staring at the road ahead, very quiet.

Luki waited silently.

In fact, at this moment, Kahina's heart is very entangled and anxious.

The girl kept reminding herself in her heart, Kahina, say something!

After looking for an opportunity in the morning, he finally called out Lu Qi alone.

However, at this juncture, I didn't know what to say for a while.

Kahina was extremely nervous at the moment, and she wanted to sneak a glance at Luki, but found that she couldn't even turn her head.

Just keep your head down, look at the road ahead, and walk step by step.

Seeing that the gate of the Menke family had appeared in front of her, Kahina finally mustered up the courage to say, "Your Highness, I thank you on behalf of the illuminator of the church for yesterday's events. ”

Lu Qi, who thought it was something, smiled and said, "Didn't you thank you yesterday?" ”

Kahina lowered her head and said, "It's different, I also prepared a thank you gift today." ”

Hearing this, Lu Qi said indifferently: "Thank you or something, even if you don't give it, it doesn't matter." ”

Kahina raised her head, ran in front of Luqi, blocked his way, and said with a somewhat insistent expression: "No, you must send it!" ”

I don't know if it's because of the sun, her face looks redder than usual at the moment, the white and red are very moving, and the clear blue eyes are also flashing.

Seeing that she was very serious, Lu Qi stopped and asked curiously, "What gift?" ”

When the words fell, he was stunned.

Kahina took a step forward as he spoke, tilted her head, and gave him a quick peck on the face.

After a while, the girl retreated, her face turned a little redder, but she still looked at Lu Qi's eyes boldly, and Ying Ying smiled and said, "It's just a thank you, don't think about it." ”

With that, he turned around, ran outside, and got into the carriage.

The carriage quickly drove away.

"That tells me not to think about it?"

Lu Qi's expression was a little puzzled now.

Little comrades are engaged in sneak attacks!

He couldn't tell for a moment whether he took advantage of it or was taken advantage of

If you go a centimeter to the left just now, it will kiss your mouth.

Who's a good person uses kiss as a thank you gift!

And just kiss and run, woman, play with my brother and indulge in it, right?

Scratching his head, he withdrew his gaze.

If the thank-you gifts are like this in the future, then I have to do more good deeds.

With that in mind, Luki turned around and walked back with a slow pace.

At this time, on the galloping carriage.

Kahina covered her hot face, her heart was pounding, and she was scolding herself in her heart.

obviously made a night of mental preparation, but he was cowardly at the last second.

Then she whispered to herself: "Stupid! I just kissed him."
