In the blink of an eye, it’s the eighth day of the first lunar month.
Although Lin Yi didn't want to live a life of pampering, Qin Shuihan said nothing about the glass process plan in the past two days.
She felt a little ashamed. She must have been too naive, but when it came to mining and transportation, it was indeed a huge undertaking.
After all, some things can only be imagined and cannot be studied in detail.
Lin Yi sighed quietly, her glass plan failed before it even started.
She called Biyue, picked up her medical bag, and walked to Leng Bin's guest room.
Seeing Lin Yi arriving, Leng Bin put away the information in his hand.
Lin Yi blinked, a little confused.
You're obviously on guard against yourself...
To ask, or not to ask?
This is a problem.
"Haha, I'm quite busy with official duties..."
Leng Bin smiled shyly and did not answer.
However, those documents were the information that Brother Xuan brought to him last night, saying that the tool room was going to open up a new manufacturing industry and that it had to be kept secret from the princess for the time being.
Why keep it a secret from the princess?
Leng Bin glanced at Lin Yi again, wondering why.
Leng Fang was also a little curious. Yesterday, when Brother Xuan said he wanted to keep it a secret from the princess, there was a hint of joy in his tone.
Lin Yi sat on the edge of the bed, looked at Leng Bin's ankles, and asked, "How are you today?"
"I feel that my toes have some sensation, and they are not as numb as before."
Although Leng Bin had been lying on the bed, he tried to move his toes and felt a different feeling than before.
At first I thought it was my imagination, but recently when I subconsciously moved my toes, it was indeed different!
He believed that it was not his illusion and that it was indeed different from before.
The surprise in Lin Yi's eyes overflowed on her face.
I was back to this on the sixth day after the operation, which was much better than I imagined.
She nodded to Biyue.
Biyue immediately lifted Leng Bin's quilt, pulled apart the cloth strips, cut the gauze, and quickly changed the medicine.
Lin Yi looked pleased, he was indeed his good assistant.
She stared at Leng Bin's wound and breathed another sigh of relief.
"The wound is recovering well. Maybe we can start training in less than fifteen days."
Leng Bin pointed to the crutch next to the screen.
"Princess, do you mean using that thing for training?"
Looking in the direction Leng Bin pointed, Lin Yi saw a picture of a crutch placed behind a screen.
Unexpectedly, Shui Han had already made crutches without even telling him, what a bastard!
Lin Yi walked over, picked up the crutch and looked at it. It was the same as what he had drawn. He really wanted to give the tool master a thumbs up.
But in this case, we must quickly install the parallel bars.
"Biyue, please find someone to hire a carpenter. I want to place a shelf in this room. Leng Bin will practice walking in this room."
Unexpectedly, the best carpenter in the capital arrived at Prince Han's Mansion in the afternoon.
Lin Yi hurried from Jinghan Pavilion to the guest room, thinking that today was the last day of the holiday, but why was there still no sign of Shui Han.
The moment she saw the carpenter, she was a little surprised.
There is a follower behind the master carpenter, and the follower is carrying a huge wooden box.
Isn't it heavy to carry like this?
But he is worthy of being the best carpenter in the capital, and he doesn’t have any unnecessary words.
Not showing off or flattering, just standing aside with a low eyebrow and waiting for guests to make requests.
Lin Yi picked up the pen and paper on the table, drew a few simple strokes, and immediately drew a parallel bar pattern.
"Master, the two poles are six feet long, four feet high, and two and a half feet wide. They can bear a weight of six to seven hundred kilograms. Can you do this?"
The carpenter pondered for a moment, then opened the wooden box carried by the servant, and saw neatly stacked tools and wood of different materials inside. He knocked on it and nodded.
"If you tell me back to the princess, I can make what the princess wants."
Lin Yi saw that his hand finally landed on a piece of yellow-colored wood. That wood must be very strong.
That is the hardest wood, Hainan rosewood.
"How long will it take?"
The carpenter thought for a moment and replied: "Five days."
"Then I'll trouble you, Master."
The parallel bars matter was finally settled, and Lin Yi breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as she follows the steps, the recovery of Leng Bin's legs and feet is within her calculations.
The day soon ended in the sunset.
At night, Lin Yi still didn't see Qin Shuihan. She yawned continuously and finally couldn't wait any longer and climbed into bed first.
Qin Shuihan rushed back to the mansion in the middle of the night, and after much hesitation, he went to Jinghan Pavilion.
Lin Yi, who finally felt the familiar aura, immediately turned over and hugged him.
Qin Shuihan, who had just come back from outside, had cold hands.
Lin Yi was suddenly awakened. She frowned and pretended not to wake up. She pressed his hand into her arms and covered it.
Qin Shuihan was in a dilemma. He knew his hands were cold, but he was pressed down by Lin Yi and held in his arms. Seeing her sleeping, he could only let her hold him.
I thought she was not afraid of the cold either.
However, she felt happy in her heart. Unexpectedly, Yiyi felt sorry for herself even when she fell asleep.
Soon it was dawn, and Qin Shuihan started working mode as always.
Practice Qigong and go to court early in the morning.
Lin Yi, on the other hand, slept until three o'clock in the morning.
But today, Qin Shuihan brought her a surprise.
"Yiyi, pack up and go to Banzhu."
"Itazhu?"
Lin Yi's eyes widened, that pier?
She put down the book in her hand and suddenly realized something.
Qin Shuihan had already changed out of his court clothes. He stood in front of the suitcase, looked at the azure brocade robe, and hesitated for a moment.
"Yiyi, shall we wear couple clothes together today?"
Lin Yi looked at the azure brocade robe in her hand, then at the lotus green Confucian skirt on her body, and nodded quickly.
She likes sky blue, and she likes to see him wearing sky blue even more.
"Shuihan, I'm ready."
Lin Yi opened her hands and turned around. This sky-blue coat and skirt had a very thick texture, and the skirt was fully embroidered with patterns.
In Lin Yi's eyes, Qin Shuihan's brocade robe was embroidered with tangled branches, which looked very similar.
Qin Shuihan raised the corners of his mouth and pulled her towards the door.
After getting on the carriage, Qin Shuihan immediately said: "The mining matters are supervised by Yuan Kuishan, but he doesn't know what kind of stone you want. Let's rush over now to confirm."
Lin Yi finally realized that Qin Shuihan had already put his glass plan into action.
"Why didn't you say anything to me?"
Lin Yi's laughter was mixed with a hint of complaint.
"You've just been busy with my business these past two days?"
Qin Shuihan did not deny it and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
"As usual, you lie down and I'll massage you."
Qin Shuihan was startled for a moment, then he lay down on Lin Yi's lap obediently, and soon relaxed and closed his eyes.
This gentle touch seems to have happened a long time ago.
"Yiyi, if your leg goes numb, pat me up immediately."
The carriage was moving forward. Although Lin Yi's legs were already numb, she couldn't bear to wake him up.
When he finally reached Banzhu, Qin Shuihan suddenly opened his eyes.
This is where?
Why do you sleep so deeply?
He found that his legs and feet were very hot.
Looking up, it turned out that Yiyi had placed Tang Lao on her ankle.
As soon as his legs and feet were warm, he slept more soundly. Qin Shuihan gave Tang Lao to Lin Yi again.
"Yiyi, you didn't wake me up."
"You said I woke you up because my legs were numb. If my legs are not numb, I don't need to wake you up."
"Crooked reasoning."
Qin Shuihan raised his eyebrows, not believing that her legs and feet were not numb.
He pulled Lin Yi into his arms, closed his eyes and curled his lips in a self-deprecating tone.
How can I protect her when I let my guard down so much outside? I won't be able to sleep for so long next time.
Finally arrived at Itazhu.
Different from the previous two times, Banzhu Pier was very lively at this time.
There are all kinds of boats and an endless stream of people.
There was a faint smell of fish in the carriage, and Lin Yi couldn't help but lift the curtain. She didn't expect it to be so lively. Although it was not as prosperous as the capital, it showed the simplicity of city life.
Qin Shuihan frowned and instinctively took out a handkerchief to cover his nose. He liked eating fish, but he didn't like such a fishy smell.
Lin Yi immediately lowered the car curtain. Human taste is really strange. Although the fishy smell is not pleasant, it is better than the smell of blood.
"Do you like fish?"
Qin Shuihan nodded with innocent eyes.
"Those fish are too pitiful. You despise them before cooking, and you eat them after cooking."
Seeing Lin Yi fighting for Yu'er's injustice, Qin Shuihan snorted and stuffed the handkerchief into his sleeve.
It’s just a fishy smell!
But before long, both of them covered their noses in despair.
"Shui Han, what does this smell like?"
Qin Shuihan opened the car curtain with a ferocious expression, and looked outside to see a vat of black stuff lying on the side of the road. There were actually several people standing beside the vat with expressionless expressions.
Lin Yi also stuck his head out.
The three words "Lijiapu" came into view.
Something flashed through her mind, and it turned out to be that shop with a mysterious holiday time.
Qin Shuihan ordered helplessly: "Xuanfeng, hurry up, hurry up!"
At this time, Xuanfeng had already covered his nose, and he glanced at the large tank on the side.
It is said that this is a sauce from Youbei, but is it really edible?
He had no time to think, so he whipped his horse whip hard.
The carriage finally arrived at its destination, and an official in official uniform and a group of people were waiting at the county government office.
"I humbly pay my respects to His Highness King Han."
The head of the county government, Chen Jinglan, knelt on the ground respectfully.
Qin Shuihan did not dismount, but leaned out half of his body to say hello.
At this time, he was mentally and physically exhausted, and the stench from before was still lingering in his mind.
"Master Chen, thank you for your work."
Chen Jinglan was slightly startled.
King Han's voice was low, with a hint of indescribable softness, and was not as cold and majestic as the rumors said.
He breathed a sigh of relief, today's task was finally completed, and he could go have fun again.
Xuanfeng led a group of people from the county government office to Shashi Mountain.
The sun was setting in the west, and it was almost dark.
However, Yuan Kuishan still led a group of masonry workers to mine vigorously.
"Yiyi, come on, get out of the car and check the stone."
Lin Yi patted her cheek and jumped out of the carriage eagerly.
At a glance, I saw baskets lined up at the foot of the mountain.
How can such a large mesh carry sand?
She frowned and ran over immediately.
The khaki stones in the basket immediately made her heart freeze.
What I want is sand, not stones!
It seems they have done nothing.
She grabbed a worker and immediately asked: "Where is Yuan Kuishan? Call him over!"
Seeing Lin Yi pulling him, the man was slightly startled, and then said humbly: "I will call Foreman Yuan right now."
After a while, Yuan Kuishan rushed over after a long journey. Although the weather was very cold, he was so hot that he only wore a robe, and sweat was dripping from his head.
"Miss Yi, you are here."
Yuan Kuishan wiped the sweat from his forehead and suddenly realized that Lin Yi in front of him was no ordinary woman.
"No, no, Princess Han, you are here!"
Yuan Kuishan immediately changed his mind and recalled in his mind the scene of Qin Shuihan appearing in his yard the day before yesterday.
He swallowed.
The day before yesterday, Qin Shuihan brought a group of people to Yuan Kuishan's home.
Looking at the carriage at the door, Cai Yue and Cai Yu were the first to run out, but when they saw the two rows of guards, they immediately froze in fear.
Even when Qin Shuihan got out of the carriage, the two of them stood still and did not dare to step forward.
Is this the big brother?
Although he had seen him twice, Cai Yue felt that his eldest brother today was completely different. Perhaps it was because the attendants on both sides were too majestic, so he was so frightened that he immediately pulled his sister and hid behind his aunt.
"Master...it's you..."
Chen Mulan shouted submissively, but she did not dare to step forward.
Qin Shuihan saw their restraint and took Xuanfeng into the house.
He got straight to the point: "I am the fifth prince of the current dynasty, King Han. I want to trouble Brother Yuan if I have something to do."
After speaking, he directly handed Yuan Kuishan a thousand taels of silver notes.
"Brother Yuan, I would like to trouble you to find some stone work on the barren mountain that Yimu mentioned before."
Yuan Kuishan took the banknote tremblingly, his mind still blank.
Chen Mulan pulled him to kneel on the ground.
"The villain...The villain will definitely complete what His Highness King Han has told me."
After saying that, they never dared to look up again.
"Brother Yuan, Sister Chen, please get up."
The scene of Lin Yi not liking others kneeling down flashed through Qin Shuihan's mind.
Although I am very used to others kneeling down, but when I think about it carefully, it is indeed inconvenient that I cannot see the expressions of those who are kneeling.
The couple in front of them do not harbor any ill intentions, but what about those ministers who are working against their will?
"Greetings, big brother!"
Cai Yue and Cai Yu also knelt on the ground like their uncle and aunt.
Qin Shuihan shook his head and motioned to Xuanfeng to pull them up.
"Brother Yuan, that mountain is Yimu - my princess wants to mine it, please be sure to complete her mission."
Yuan Kuishan stood aside, not daring to look at his face.
But at that moment, he finally realized that Lin Yi was not joking and really wanted to mine that barren mountain.
"The villain must complete the mission assigned by King Han and Princess Han!"
Seeing that he was distracted, Lin Yi took out a handkerchief and handed it over.
"Brother Yuan, are you okay? Wipe the sweat off!"
Yuan Kuishan came to his senses, took the handkerchief and wiped his sweat.
But this handkerchief seems to have a peculiar smell.
He glanced at Lin Yi again.
For such a beautiful and lovely princess, there is absolutely no way that this smell comes from Miss Yi!
Lin Yi didn't realize there was something wrong with the handkerchief. Her eyes were always on the barren mountain.
"Brother Yuan, I don't want these things. What I want is the sand under these clods. The whiter the better."
Yuan Kuishan looked confused.
"sand?"
Lin Yi nodded.
"Yes, I'm not mistaken. Trust me, I just want these sands."
She glanced at the baskets behind the masonry. These baskets were no longer useful, but she couldn't care less, so she left them to Yuan Kuishan.
Yuan Kuishan shouted loudly, and the working masons stopped one after another.
They looked at the beautiful young woman next to the foreman, wondering why such a gorgeously dressed woman would appear at the foot of the barren mountain.
"Everyone, listen up! I don't want these rocks, I want sand."
sand?
The masons were a little confused.
Seeing their confused looks, Lin Yi picked up the hoe next to Yuan Kuishan, walked to the foot of the mountain behind him, and tapped on the dried surface. He saw that underneath the brown soil were sand and gravel of varying shades.
Lin Yi held up a handful of sand and said to everyone: "Please masters, please mine this kind of sand. Try to get transparent and white particles, not dark particles."
She poured the sand in her hand to Yuan Kuishan and asked him to look carefully. This was what she wanted.
Han Shuihan silently walked to Lin Yi. Fortunately, he brought her over to make sure. If he really spent a lot of time transporting these things to the tool room, he still wouldn't be able to start work.
Lin Yi held his arm and leaned on his shoulder.
"Shuihan, thank you."
She was filled with excitement as she finally took the first step in making glass.
The first step in the Long March is definitely a milestone!
