You Can't Be Fierce Towards Me!

Fu Tian was silent, Chu Xiangtian's words made Fu Tian realize that he was too impatient, as if... as if he had done it deliberately for a certain purpose.

They can't guess the reason now, but they may not be able to guess it when there is a severe drought next year. Everything I do now is to prepare for the upcoming severe drought, but how can I explain the severe drought that I knew in advance?

Fu Tian bit her lip, a little guilty and dared not speak, and quickly thought of a suitable reason for herself.

Seeing him like this, Chu Xiangtian sighed deeply again, rubbed his head, with a helpless and indulgent expression, "Why are there so many little secrets?"

"..."

Fu Tian opened his mouth to refute, but couldn't think of a more suitable reason for a while, so he could only shut his mouth resentfully, and acquiesced to his statement.

Opening the door, he called in the messenger who was waiting outside, and handed him the reply. Fu Huang then called a few servants to deliver the letter to the other selected Zhuangzi.

Each Zhuangzi needs to submit a map of the ditch first, and Fu Tian will recruit manpower to start digging after confirming that there is no problem.

The drawings on each Zhuangzi were sent over five days later at the latest. Fu Huang carefully compared each drawing, and Chu Xiangtian secretly took it to the minister of the Ministry of Industry to read it before ordering Zhuangzi to start construction.

This delay lasted for several days. It was already mid-June. The weather was getting hotter every day. Even wearing thin silk was hot and people were sweating profusely. Everything in Zhuangzi started in an orderly manner. The price is still being lowered, and the steward continues to buy at a lower price according to his instructions.

Instead, Fu Tian became idle. His daily job was to study, and August was approaching. If he wanted to be admitted, he had to work harder, but the hot weather made him unable to calm down at all.

"It's better to go to Zhuangzi to cool off the heat."

Changed the Xiaobingjian in front of Fu Tian, ​​and Chu Xiangtian fanned him with a fan. He grew up in the north and never experienced the humidity and heat in the south. endure.

The young master didn't have this kind of patience, he was no more than a little cabbage that was drying in the field.

Fu Tian tugged at his neckline, and threw the book in his hand on the table irritably. Anyway, there was nothing for him to worry about. The autumn exam was coming, and he had to calm down to prepare for the exam.

So after arranging things in the shop, Fu Huang and Chu Xiangtian picked a not-so-hot early morning and drove the carriage to the Zhuangzi.

Zhuangzi is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and the terrain is open. Although the sun above his head is as hot, at least there is a slight breeze, and the shade of thick green trees is not so annoying.

This time when he came here, no one sent a message beforehand. Fu Tian went to the backyard familiarly, and saw that on the octagonal pavilion in the center of the lake in the backyard, his mother, sister, and Zhou Chuanqing were sitting and chatting together.

The lotus in the lake was just in bloom, and when the breeze moved, the fragrance of lotus came out. The three people in the pavilion chatted happily, and before they got close, they heard the faint sound of poetry.

Chu Xiangtian frowned watching this scene, while Fu Tian was surprised at the coolness coming from the pavilion after approaching.

Fu Shuyue, who was facing him, was the first to see him, and said with a smile, "Why did you come here suddenly? Are you busy with the business in the shop?"

Fu Tian complained: "It's too hot at home. I came here to escape the summer heat. Why don't you tell me about such good things?"

Standing in front of Bing Jian, who was half a person tall, Fu Tian felt a little bit of coolness, and looked curiously at this drastically changed Bing Jian.

The ice mirror in front of me is said to be an ice mirror or not. There are five extremely thin fans in the shape of water droplets in front of the fan. A wooden box three feet long and two feet wide is attached to the back of the fan. The wooden box is very thick and contains Looking at the whole piece of ice, only the side facing the fan is open, exuding a visible cold air.

The five fans are connected by a somewhat thick wooden shaft, and a maid next to it holds the handle of the shaft and turns it slowly, and the wind from the fans brings the coolness of ice cubes.Even in this pavilion, there is no trace of heat.

"This is the improved ice mirror, which was made by the old carpenters in Zhuangzi under the guidance of Chuan Qingzi." Fu Youqin laughed.

Although Zhuangzi is not as hot as the town, the scorching weather makes people not want to go out, so Zhou Chuanqing instructed the old carpenter to make this new ice guide.

Fortunately, there is still ice hidden in the cellar on the Zhuangzi. After putting it in and trying it out, the effect is good, and the few people occasionally come out to sit for a while.

Chu Xiangtian stared at Bingjian and his mouth twitched. This thing was developed by the people from the Ministry of Industry to please his mother. Because the mother is afraid of heat and there are many skilled craftsmen in the Ministry of Industry, they made this thing called "ice fan" and presented it. The old ice fan was as tall as a person, and it was not turned by hand, but was stepped on like a waterwheel. After using it, the queen mother was very satisfied, so she ordered the Ministry of Industry to make more, and gave it to the wives of several important ministers as a reward .

If I remember correctly, Mrs. Zhou was rewarded with one.

Zhou Chuanqing would borrow flowers to present Buddha, Chu Xiangtian raised his eyebrows slightly, and glanced at the smiling Zhou Chuanqing.

Zhou Chuanqing felt the sword-like gaze on his body, put away the smile on his face, changed the subject and talked about the business.

"The autumn test is coming, how are you preparing these days?"

Fu Huang wanted to stick to the ice mirror and muttered: "It's too hot, I don't have the mind to read at all, so I came to Zhuangzi to escape the summer heat and meditate."

Zhou Chuanqing pondered for a while, and said, "I'll check your progress after lunch. There are less than two months left. You have to focus on your studies."

Fu Tian nodded, knowing that time was running out.

The four of them stayed in the gazebo for a while, and it was lunch time. After lunch, Fu Tian went to the study with Zhou Chuanqing.

There was already a similar ice mirror in the study, Fu Tian looked surprised, Zhou Chuanqing smiled and said: "It was made by the craftsman, and my aunt was planning to send it to you, but I didn't expect you to come here first."

The cool wind dispelled the heat, Fu Tian calmed down, and told Zhou Chuanqing his recent study progress in detail.

There was not much lag, Zhou Chuanqing nodded in satisfaction, took out a few books from the bookshelf, circled the key points one by one for him, and asked him to focus on these parts.

"The exam questions over the years are also similar. You have memorized them all, so the problem will not be too big."

Fu Tian nodded honestly. He was a little blindly superstitious about Zhou Chuanqing's status as a flower hunter, so he believed what Zhou Chuanqing said, and settled down to read the book steadily.

Chu Xiangtian didn't come in to disturb them. He found the old carpenter and asked him to teach him the essentials of making ice mirrors, so he found suitable wood and made it himself.

He always felt that Zhou Chuanqing was inferior to him. At that time, he thought that he would have the opportunity to enter the palace and give the young master an ice fan back, but he never thought that he could do it himself, after all, there was a ready-made servant of the Ministry of Industry there.

Consciously losing a bit, Chu Xiangtian decided to make an ice mirror with his own hands to make the young master happy.

After Zhou Chuanqing gave Fu Tian assignments, he wandered out with a fan to find Chu Xiangtian. He had seen Chu Xiangtian's face just now. He hadn't seen the other's deflated expression a few times since he was a child, and now he couldn't help but come again. Look at him aftertaste.

Chu Xiangtian was sawing wood with a saw. Although he had never done carpentry, his hand used to holding a sword was steady and not clumsy, so he did it very well. All the necessary parts were ready in a short time. Assembly has started.

Zhou Chuanqing squatted in front of him, fanning him leisurely, "Why don't you let craftsmen do it?"

Chu Xiangtian glanced at him and said dissatisfiedly, "What do you want to do?"

Zhou Chuanqing continued to shake his fan, and said slowly, "I want to be your brother-in-law."

"..."

After being silent for a while, Chu Xiangtian frowned and asked, "Are you serious?"

"Seriously, of course. When did you see me joking about it?"

This is not true. Zhou Chuanqing is a very picky person. There are many ladies who have arranged to meet at home. He does not like any of them. No matter how much Mrs. Zhou cries and pressures, he has never compromised. It is true that he will not joke about marriage. people.

Chu Xiangtian snorted coldly and stopped talking. Although he was dissatisfied with Zhou Chuanqing's decision, he was a child who was born and died. If Zhou Chuanqing really fell in love with Miss Fu's family, he would not hinder her from it, but thinking of the future. When it was done, he had to turn around and call the other party's brother-in-law, and his expression was very ugly.

"You wait."

"If other people find out, they will probably be able to make fun of you for a year."

Zhou Chuanqing continued with a smile, none of the few who grew up together hadn't been pitted by Chu Xiangtian, and everyone had accumulated a lot of resentment, and they always wanted to vent it.

Chu Xiangtian snorted coldly, if he could coax the young master back to the capital, what face would those unmarried Faxiao have to laugh at him?Glancing at the complacent Zhou Chuanqing, he said sarcastically, "I'll show off when you let me call you brother-in-law."
