chance world

Ding Qiyu was in a much better mood than when he just left the house. He regained his strength and stretched out his hands to touch his full belly. From a distance, he saw He Ankang and the others were cleaning up the stalls on the willow embankment on the other side of the river. They were sold out so early. ?Ding Qiyu smiled and wanted to cross the bridge to join them.

Ding Qiyu walked up the bridge step by step on the steps paved with stone slabs, and the pedestrians around him came and went. When he looked up, he saw a group of people walking down the bridge.Two female guards with long swords on their waists and a maidservant carrying a bamboo basket surrounded the leading person. The person walking in the front was a girl in a plain white collared skirt with long hair hanging down her shoulders. A white gauze ribbon is tied on the top, a few strands of blue silk are scattered on the forehead, the willow eyebrows are as beautiful as green hills and butterflies, and the bright eyes under the eyebrows are as deep as obsidian, clear without a trace of impurities, and the expression between the eyebrows and eyes is indifferent.With the white gauze covering her face, she couldn't fully see her appearance and expression, but under such beautiful eyebrows and eyes, there must be no ugly face.

Ding Qiyu paused, raised his head and stared blankly at the leading girl, dressed in plain clothes and white clothes fluttering against the breeze on the bridge, giving people a sense of being out of the world, reflecting the scenery of the moon on the sky behind her The sprinkled Qionghua seems to be a fairy walking down from the clouds, hazy and ethereal.Ding Qiyu suddenly understood the artistic conception of "Jinghongzhaoying" in the poem, and couldn't help muttering: "I suspect it's Jinghongzhaoying..."

The girl got closer and closer, and Ding Qiyu suddenly realized that his behavior was impolite, and hurriedly lowered his head, not daring to look any further.

"Hey! Empress Jingyue's light car is coming over there!" Someone said this to remind everyone that the "Moon Greeting" activity has begun. Walking across the bank, Ding Qiyu, who was about to stop in frustration, was pushed and shoved by the people behind him, and the lantern in his hand fell off with a "bang" sound. He tripped over the steps and staggered forward. The girl from -

Fortunately, the female guard following the girl swiftly moved in front of the girl, stretched out her hand, lifted the cloth on Ding Qiyu's shoulders, and pulled her up, who was pounced on like a "hungry wolf prey", and directly judged that Ding Qiyu was plotting something wrong. The villain just elbowed her in the chest, trying to knock her away.

Ding Qiyu had learned martial arts for so long under the guidance of a famous teacher, and it was not in vain. When he saw someone was about to hit him, he used the strength of the female guard to stabilize his figure, turned sideways to defuse the force of the blow, and subconsciously caught the female guard's body. Wrist, work harder.Another female guard behind the girl saw the situation and wanted to step forward to help, but she heard the girl in white say: "Stop." The pleasant voice was a little bit clear, with no waves in her tone, and she couldn't hear her emotions at all. It was as lonely as that In Yao Palace, the heart is like a fairy with still water.

The female guard who was confronting Ding Qiyu loosened her grip upon hearing this.

It was only when Ding Qiyu realized that he was impolite and offensive. People didn't think he was a bad person, so why did he act like a reflex?Immediately let go, let the female guard retreat behind the girl in white, stood a few steps in front of the girl, bowed her hands and apologized: "Sorry, girl, I was squeezed by the people behind me just now, and I couldn't stand still. " After that, he raised his head and waited for a response in embarrassment.

The girl in white nodded: "No problem."

Ding Qiyu was forgiven, picked up the mechanism lantern that fell on the ground, and turned sideways to let the girl and her entourage leave.Originally, Ding Qiyu only lit the candlestick inside the lantern without turning on the mechanism. Now that he dropped it, the mechanism may be loose and the mechanism started to run automatically.This organ lantern is different from the two styles that He Ankang and the others sold. This one is a lantern carefully carved by Ding Qiyu. Because the people in Daqian don't know the god "Yuelao", so She didn't intend to make a large number of them at all, but just made them for herself on a whim. There is only this one, nothing else.

With the operation of the mechanism, under the witness of Yuelao Xiaomucarving, the shadows of the two mechanism villains printed on the lamp face meet, get closer and closer, and finally blend together hand in hand.

The girl in white who was about to leave saw the lamp in her hand, and a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes. She stopped and opened her lips and asked, "Master, can you give up the lamp?"

Ding Qiyu didn't notice the flash of emotion in her eyes, he raised the lamp in his hand in a daze: "This?" Then he said cheerfully, "Since the girl likes it, I will give this lamp to you, as if it is for me Apologize for the rude collision just now."

The girl in white looked away from the mechanism lantern, glanced at Ding Qiyu, then turned her head to the maid beside her and said, "Yinsu."

The servant girl and her young lady had a tacit understanding for many years, so she immediately understood, put the bamboo basket on her shoulders, took out a piece of silver and handed it to Ding Qiyu.

"Hey, no money! This lamp is a gift." Even if it was sold, it would not cost so much money... Ding Qiyu gave the lamp to the maid, and had no intention of taking money.

"'Businessmen can't make money', Miss wants to buy the young master's lamp, so naturally she has to pay." The servant girl stuffed the money into Ding Qiyu's hand and returned it.

"Thank you for cutting love." The girl in white nodded her thanks to Ding Qiyu who was still in a daze, and led her entourage down the stone bridge.

"Businessmen can't make money... Hehe, she is really an interesting and rich girl." Ding Qiyu came back to his senses, smiled, and remembered that girl "Yi" also forcibly gave him a lot of money. Why are these girls like this? rich?But why is she wearing a veil?It was the first time that Ding Qiyu saw a girl wearing a veil after working so long.Ding Qiyu glanced at the plain white figure who had disappeared into the sea of ​​people from afar, then turned to look for He Ankang and the others.

……

In the past few days in Jingyue Festival, Ding Qiyu and her fellows have made a lot of money.She found the Minxin Department in Yinzhou (an institution established by a senior government official for ordinary people to send small valuables), and sent silver and a short letter from home back to Xingcheng.The chaos in Xingcheng was a pain to Ding Qiyu that he dared not mention, and he really didn't know how to write a letter home, so she only reported her safety in a few words, explaining her current address, so that it was convenient Correspondence.

In the next few days, Ding Qiyu arranged for the guys to make and sell some gadgets that she had designed before, while she herself went around to inquire about the whereabouts of Senior Yanhuaike.But all the channels that should be inquired have been tried, and no one knows any clues about such a master of ingenuity.Yinzhou's overall use level of mechanism wooden armor is also comparable to that of Xingcheng, and it doesn't look like a master of machine skills at all.

Finding Yan Huaike was not the only purpose of this trip, and there was no way to be in a hurry. Now that he was not found, Ding Qiyu's focus was naturally on starting a career.The previously designed curved leaf plow, new spinning wheel, household water system, etc. should all be able to make money.

On this day, Ding Qiyu went out to buy small parts needed by the agency.In July, the weather has started to turn cold, and there is a light rain in the city of Yinzhou.Holding an oil-paper umbrella, Ding Qiyu was about to go back after shopping, but the light rain turned into a thunderstorm, and the torrential rain poured down. Ding Qiyu had to wait in front of the shop for the rain to lighten before leaving.

She was staring at the rain curtain hanging down like a bead curtain from the eaves, and suddenly heard a man complaining: "Oh, I'm exhausted!"

Ding Qiyu turned his head and saw two middle-aged men sitting in front of the shop next door. They were muscular, with sweat towels on their shoulders casually.The man who complained just now squeezed his sore shoulder on the other side with one hand and continued: "This job is too strenuous! My arm is going to be crippled! How could there be so much blast rice all of a sudden?"

The other middle-aged man was also obviously exhausted, and he sighed and replied: "Don't complain, I just heard from the shopkeeper that the rice fields in Huaifeng and Liangzhao are all covered with rice blast. So how can we transport a little rice? Most of the rice comes from those places! So there is no way to deal with a lot of rice. We can only sift it!"

The first man was very dissatisfied: "Sifting rice is obviously a matter for the valley farm. If the blast rice is not clean, let us continue to do it! I want to sieve it well, but the blast rice is not the dregs of the shell. I can’t get it out even if it’s useless, what can I do! I was scolded by the shopkeeper, he has the ability to scold the people in Guchang—”

"Keep your voice down!" Another person hastily interrupted him, "If you can't get out the shopkeeper, don't worry, don't smash our 'Wang Sui' signboard!"

Ding Qiyu raised his eyes and looked at the signboard of the shop next door. The word "Wang Sui" was written on the plaque, and it was a rice shop.Ding Qiyu is no stranger to this rice shop, because when she was the inspector of Xingcheng, she knew that the largest rice shop in Xingcheng was "Wangsui". to inspect.

Now listening to these two big brothers, the "rice planting base" had a natural disaster, which caused great difficulties for rice sieving. Ding Qiyu remembered the design drawings of the rice sieving machine he had drawn, and felt that this was a good opportunity. Shan ran to the gate of Wangsui in two steps, bent down and asked, "You two brothers, I overheard your conversation just now, may I ask if you use a big sieve to hold the sieve when you sieve rice here?"

The two men looked at her in surprise, nodded and said, "What else can I use without a big sieve? I'm afraid all the places in Dagan are sifted like this?"

Ding Qiyu was a little delighted: "Then can you take me to meet your shopkeeper? I have a better way!"

The two men looked at each other for a moment, stood up, and led her in: "My lord, come with us!" They were also eager for a better way to sieve rice.

Ding Qiyu followed the two to find the shopkeeper, and explained his purpose of coming. The shopkeeper was very pleasantly surprised. The recent rice blast made him very anxious and helpless!So the shopkeeper immediately took her to the rice warehouse at the back to see the so-called "blast rice" that couldn't be sifted out.

It turned out that blast rice is the diseased fruit produced by rice blast.Rice blast will not only reduce the yield of rice a lot, but also produce a lot of such diseased blast rice.Blast rice is dark yellow, and its size is basically the same as that of good rice, so it is not easy to sieve it out with a sieve.But it has a dense texture, high hardness, and high quality, so the rice sieving machine designed by Ding Qiyu to sieve rice by weight can easily screen it out.

After Ding Qiyu had seen it, he confidently said to the shopkeeper: "Shopkeeper, my mechanism can quickly sift out this rice blast. Even if the rice blast is over in the future, it can also quickly sift out chaff, gravel and inferior rice. Come!" Then he briefly introduced the rice sieving machine he imagined to the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper seemed to understand, and seeing that she was confident, he believed what she said: "If we want to be old, there must be more than one, but I can't make the decision. If you are free now, young master, you can tell me Shall I go see our eldest lady?"
