The model of the waterwheel has been completed, which basically restores the appearance he saw in modern times, the remaining work is to enlarge the waterwheel according to the proportion, and then put it where it will be used.

The placement of the waterwheel can only be done after looking at the actual site. Even the final size of the waterwheel needs to be measured in the river there, to see the water flow, and then to see how much land needs to be irrigated. Decide.

"Young master, this old waterwheeler already knows how to do it, but he still needs to go to the place where it is going to be erected to determine how much wood and how many helpers are needed." The old carpenter was very respectful to Xiji, He didn't dare to make a fool of himself in front of him. He always did what Xiji asked him to do, without any objection.

Hearing his words, Xiji hesitated for a moment. The village that needed the waterwheel was outside the city. According to his current situation, he couldn't easily go out.

Originally, he could completely leave all the work to his servants, but he still felt that even if the old carpenter had mastered the basic structure of the waterwheel, he still needed to be instructed on how to guide the water to the fields.

Thinking of this, Xiji looked at the old carpenter who was waiting for his order, and said directly: "You wait for me for a day, and I will think of a way. If it is possible, I will go with you to the place where the waterwheel needs to be built. If not, I can only trouble the old man."

Seeing that Xiji was so polite, the old carpenter was a little startled, and repeatedly said that he couldn't stand it, and said humbly: "Young master, you are polite, these are what the old man should do. If this is the case, the old man will go back to pack his things first. Waiting for the son's news."

After the old carpenter left, Xiji had a slightly sad expression on his face, and was still a little bit tangled.If he wanted to leave the mansion, he must inform the Night King, but since the last time the two broke up, he had never seen the Night King again.

At this time, if I go to him because of this matter, I always feel a little uncomfortable.It's just that if he doesn't follow, he always feels a little worried.

Thinking of this, he felt overwhelmed, and decided to talk to Mr. Guo first, and if Mr. Guo didn't work, then go to the Night King.

Thinking of what happened that night, Xiji felt a little sad while being terrified. He didn't know why the Night King wanted to kill him at that moment, but it was still unacceptable for him to have such a thing happen.

After stabilizing his mind, Xiji still decided to do the things in his own hands first, cheered himself up, and went directly to Mr. Guo.

As the right-hand man of the Night King, Mr. Guo naturally has his own independent office. Along the way, there are guards who keep saying hello to Xiji, and he has not been ignored because the Night King has ignored him in recent days. There is no feeling of excess.

When he walked to the door of Mr. Guo's room, Xiji was still a little hesitant. Just when he was thinking about what to say when he went in, Mr. Guo, who was supposed to be in the room, came out quickly. Dazed, he quickly put on that smiling face again, and politely asked Xiji: "Young master, what's the purpose of coming to see the old man this time?"

Xiji glanced at Mr. Guo who was smiling kindly, and immediately relaxed his nervous mood, and said his original intention of coming this time. After speaking, he looked at Mr. Guo, waiting expectantly for his answer.

Mr. Guo looked at the nervous little brother and stroked his white beard. Thinking of the moody Wang, he originally wanted to ask him to ask the Night King, but then he seemed to think of something and didn't say it out of his mouth. , Instead, he responded with one gulp, and said with a smile:

"A few days ago, the king ordered us to fully cooperate with the young master's actions. If the young master needs to go out of the mansion to inspect now, we will naturally cooperate well. When the young master leaves the mansion, please inform the old man. The old man will definitely arrange good escorts The son went down."

Hearing what he said, the big stone that was pressing on Xiji immediately fell down. Xiji showed a shy smile towards Mr. Guo, and said sincerely: "Thank you, Mr. Guo."

Seeing that Xiji was so polite, Mr. Guo didn't dare to take credit for it. He waved his hand, saying that these were all his own affairs, and finally said casually, "The king seems to be in a bad mood these days. If you can If so, please take care of the king more, my lord."

Hearing what he said, Xiji was a little embarrassed, and his face was a little ugly, and he answered in a hesitant way, "I will."

After Xiji left, Mr. Guo looked at his back and sighed faintly, and then another person walked out from behind him, it was the Night King who should not have appeared here.

Seeing King Ye came out, Mr. Guo quickly turned around, bowed to him and saluted, "Your Majesty."

The Night King waved his hand, signaling that he doesn't need to be too polite, then looked in the direction of Xiji's departure, and said lightly to the people around him, "Send more people to follow."

"My subordinate understands."

Ye Lin looked at the back of Xiji leaving, he didn't know if it was his illusion, he always felt that the little brother's originally thin body seemed to be getting thinner now.

Back in the courtyard, Xiji went over what Mr. Guo said to him just now, and was a little worried whether his behavior that day had angered the Night King, which made him so uncertain.

"Master, what's the matter with you?" Mo Shu came in with a fruit plate, and asked a little strangely when he saw the young master sitting there quietly.

Hearing Mo Shu's voice, Xiji looked up in his direction, showing a somewhat frustrated smile, "I'm fine, I just made the king angry."

Hearing his words, Mo Shu put down the fruit plate, and said to Xiji with some incomprehension: "Master, there is nothing to worry about. As long as the young master coaxes the king well, the king will definitely forgive you!"

"You don't understand." Hearing what he said, the smile on the corner of Xiji's mouth became more bitter.

Mo Shu rubbed his head, thinking that his young master was really strange, what he said was right, but he didn't understand.However, looking at his young master's worried look, Mo Shu felt that as his boy, he still had to do something for him, so he continued: "Master, but in the mansion, the king treats you differently! This time I'm angry. You won't be angry for a long time, you just have to wait until the king is no longer angry."

Hearing his words, Xiji raised his head and looked at him, his eyes were a little confused, as if he couldn't understand what he said, and asked with some doubts: "The king treats me differently?"

Mo Shu felt that his young master was very strange, and he didn't know such obvious things, so he showed an appearance of knowing everything about them, and said unceremoniously: "Of course, no one has ever appeared by Wang's side, and the young master is still the first one. A person who can stay with the king for so long. And according to Brother Fang, the young master is very popular with the king."

Hearing what he said, Xiji immediately remembered how hard he pinched his neck that day, and didn't know where the anger came from, so he retorted: "I didn't see that I won the king's favor."

Mo Shu scratched his hair, looked at the young master who was getting angry for no reason, and didn't know what was wrong with him, so he expressed his opinion, "But the king will hug the young master, agree to the young master's request, and treat the young master like nothing. The others are so fierce."

When Mo Shu said this, Xiji was taken aback for a moment, then seemed to think of something, lowered his head and thought for a while, as if thinking of something, his face turned blue and white.Finally, as if he had figured something out, he sighed and said in a low voice: "You are right, I didn't see it through."

He seemed to understand why Ye Lin wanted to kill himself that night.After figuring this out, the gloom of the past few days suddenly disappeared, and the smile on his face became sincere.

Looking up at Mo Shu, he showed a big smile, "We are going down to build a waterwheel tomorrow, so treat yourself with some delicious food today, I will make whatever you want to eat."

Hearing what he said, Mo Shu's eyes immediately lit up. Thinking of the dish that he hadn't eaten for a long time, his saliva immediately came out, and he happily ran to Xiji's side, thinking about himself for a long time, but he was reluctant The few dishes that my young master worked so hard came out.

Hearing the name of the dish he ordered, Xiji's smile deepened, and he agreed to all of them, and then went to the kitchen with the ink book.

Early the next morning, Xiji got into the carriage specially prepared for him by Mr. Guo, escorted by several guards, and took the old carpenter to the village.

"My lord, the young master has already left." Mr. Guo said cautiously, looking at Ye Wang who was sitting on the main seat and reading with a script.

Ye Lin paused for a second when turning the pages of the book, and then gave a soft 'um' sound as if he didn't care.

"Wang, Master Xi asked me to hand it over to you." Seeing that King Ye didn't care, Mr. Guo still handed over the food box he was carrying.

Seeing this, Ye Lin raised his eyelids, glanced at the exquisite food box, looked at it for a while, and said softly: "Put the food box on the table, you can go down."

"Yes."

After Mr. Guo left, Ye Lin stared at the food box for a long time before slowly opening it, and was taken aback when he saw the contents inside.

I don't know how that brother did it, but there was a cake shaped like a rabbit inside, staring at the red eyes of the rabbit, Ye Lin laughed softly.

Mo Shu sat in the carriage with Xiji, thinking about the cream he ate last night, licked the corner of his mouth, and couldn't help asking Xiji: "Master, when can we eat that cream next time?" cake?"

Xiji looked at the gluttonous ink book and smiled slightly, "We will do it next time when we are free."

"Then I'll help the young master make cream next time."

"it is good."

……

When the group arrived at the village, Li Dazao, the village chief, had been waiting there long ago, looking at the end of the road with unstoppable anxiety on his face. It was a shock, and he immediately regained his energy.

"My lord, these are the young people in our village who know how to work as carpenters. They can help." The young and middle-aged man recruited by General Li introduced Xiji, with a somewhat reserved face.

Xiji glanced at the young men who didn't seem to be strong, nodded, pointed to the old carpenter behind him and said, "After the master has measured it, we can start working."

"Okay, okay, we will definitely work hard." I thought it would be a great thing to be able to reduce taxes, but I didn't expect this kind-hearted young man to help them repair things and divert water. Now Li Da simply doesn't know what to do. Express your gratitude.
