lady

Chapter 56 Is there a noble person in the village?

Jiang Yifan said goodbye and went back to the county government office, feeling even worse in his heart.Thinking about how hard it was for him to reconcile with that woman from the Ye family and get rid of her, but now, why does he feel that the future relationship will not be broken?

Jin Rong's guess was right, Qi Younian's identity was easy to find out.

Qi Younian is a serious businessman, and there are detailed records in the yamen. He remembers his surname, name, and household registration clearly.They have not been registered for a long time, and the petty official will know as soon as he looks through the account books.

In the middle of the day, Hongzhi was sent by Jinrong to investigate the family background and foundation of the Qi family, and there was even a craftsman who could draw blueprints.

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

Looking at the back of Hongzhi riding away, the two villagers who pointed the way looked at each other in blank dismay.

"This is... looking for the old man of the second room of the Qi family?" The tall and thin middle-aged villager asked hesitantly.

Another man of average build nodded: "It should be. This man is well dressed and riding a tall horse. He is definitely not an ordinary person. He should be a person of status?"

An idler who came out for a stroll came over and said, "Since when did Mr. Qi know someone who has status? It can't be the noble person that Mr. Qi met when he was wandering outside, right?"

"No, this is a young man. He doesn't look more than twenty, and he is too far away from the old man's age. When the old man broke out, he probably hadn't been born yet."

"What? What? Is someone here to trouble the Qi family?" Another person came to inquire.

People in the village speculated one after another, and gradually headed towards the northwest of the village, but because the young man on a tall horse entered the yard of Qi's family, they didn't come to inquire.

Hongzhi visited the breakfast stall twice with King Yu, and Qi Younian naturally recognized him.Hearing the sound of horseshoes approaching from far outside the courtyard, and suddenly seeing this unusual young man dismounting from the horse and cupping his hands, he was extremely surprised, and hurriedly cupped his hands in return and said: "Brother is really a rare visitor, please come in quickly."

Hongzhi pulled the horse into the door, and said with a smile, "You are welcome, old man, let's go in and talk."

Qi Younian let Hongzhi into the courtyard, and apologized to the villagers who came to watch from the courtyard gate, and then went in to entertain the guests.

Ye Xinyan and Nanny Jin were working in the room, when they heard voices in the yard, they came out to check.

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

Following Qi Younian's guidance, Hongzhi tied the horse to a stake beside the barn.Only then did he turn around, clasped his hands towards Nanny Jin and the two from a distance, and took a look around on the way.

Qi Younian hurriedly went to the room to let him in: "The courtyard of our poor peasant family is very shabby and shabby, which made my brother laugh. Please come to my room."

Hongzhi hurriedly cupped his hands and said politely: "What is the old man talking about? In this world, how many rich and powerful families can there be, and ordinary people's lives are like this. The weather is hot, so I won't go in the house, let's talk in the yard Just fine."

An Guogong's granddaughter lives here. The old man dares to say that the house is simple, but he, a servant, dare not follow the nonsense.

"That's okay." Qi Younian moved two chairs over.

Nanny Jin took out a high stool from the room, made tea, and led Qi Jia back to the room.

Only then did Hongzhi and Qi Younian sit down and talk.

Qi Younian felt a lot of psychological pressure on His Royal Highness King Yu's cronies, so he simply asked directly: "I don't go around in circles with you, brother. Dare to ask me, why did you come to our remote place?"

Qi Younian knew that his home was not attractive, and it was not worth staying for too long, so it was best to talk about something, and see off guests early after talking, so that everyone would feel comfortable.

Hongzhi chewed nonchalantly: "The old man also knows that our sixth master has a lot of praise for your rice tofu. I am here this time to find out how to make your rice tofu. If it is simple, let our house cook Learn to do it, you can make it at home, and it is easy to eat naturally."

When Qi Younian heard that King Yu wanted to inquire about their earning business, he looked in Ye Xinyan's direction.

The yard was originally not that big, and Ye Xinyan was sitting at the door of the outer room picking broken rice, and could hear the conversation between the two people in the yard clearly.

On the surface, Ye Xinyan is the granddaughter of An Guogong, but her core has been changed long ago.Ye Xinyan, who is a public figure, also has a lot of pressure on His Royal Highness Yu Wang's personal servants, and she doesn't dare to ignore them or take them seriously.

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

What's more, Ye Xinyan doesn't believe that Jin Rong, who is the king of Yu, will send his personal servants to the countryside to inquire about how to do it in order to have a snack at a street stall.As for why Hongzhi came here, we have to wait patiently for this kid to tell.

Seeing her grandfather looking over, Ye Xinyan nodded slightly, motioning for Qi Younian to tell him.

Qi Younian thought the same way, but he didn't understand the way the nobles in the capital did things, so he first asked Ye Xinyan for advice.

Qi Younian tried his best to explain to Hongzhi how to make rice tofu, but Hongzhi didn't listen carefully and kept looking at the farm yard.Finally, Hongzhi's eyes stopped on the carpentry work that Qi Younian was doing just now.

After Qi Younian finished explaining, Hongzhi did not comment on the rice tofu recipe, but abruptly pointed at the three small wooden wheels and a bracket, and asked, "Is this made by the old man?"

After Qi Younian explained the recipe of rice tofu sincerely, he wanted to tell Hongzhi in detail the ratio of rice milk to water and the amount of lime water.Unexpectedly, after hearing his narration, people immediately changed the topic.

"Well, the children of the farmer's family don't have anything to play with. I'm planning to make a bicycle for my grandson."

As soon as Hongzhi heard this, he knew that his errand could be completed satisfactorily.

He got up, squatted down in front of those parts, picked up the wheel with a small pedal, and asked, "Bike? Use your feet to step on this wheel?"

Qi Younian stood up and said with a smile: "My granddaughter came up with this idea. When the car is ready, children can sit on it and walk with their feet. Although it sounds novel, but the little old man thinks about it carefully. With this structure, it should work.”

Qi Younian and Ye Xinyan have discussed the structure of the bicycle and the transmission system.He believes that as long as the material for the wheels is wear-resistant and tough, the car will definitely be able to move around.

Hongzhi also met Miss Ye and Grandma Jiang in the capital. Hearing that this thing was conceived by Ye Xinyan, he couldn't help but glanced towards the door of the room, feeling even more confused.

The old man said, Miss Ye family came up with the idea?Does that mean that she also drew the sketch in Master Liu's hand?How could that reckless granddaughter of the Grand Duke have such abilities?Never heard of it before?
