Shi Lengcen has been learning mechanics from her father since she was a child. She is extremely talented and has achieved extremely high attainments at a young age. She is admired by many elders in the wildfire engine factory.
She was puzzled and dissatisfied with the fact that her father was expelled from the Shi clan. Her biggest wish in life was to prove that the father and daughter were more powerful than everyone else in Tiangongyuan. However, her father did not seem to be so enthusiastic about this matter. .
Shi Lengcen sneaked out of his home and took the Tiangong Institute's admissions test incognito. He had obviously passed the test, but for some reason he was rejected midway.
After much thought, she planned to change her identity and go to Chang'an to try her luck. However, because the guardian of the divine capital was recently awakened, she could not leave the city. She could only find a place to stay temporarily and wait for the annual tribute period to pass before leaving. Luoyang.
Then she met An Yan, and she was inexplicably moved by this man whom she had just met for the first time.
"How much do you know about Yu Wan?"
Shi Lengcen thought about it carefully, and then said: "I have never seen her, I just heard from my godmother."
She paused and recalled, "Yu Wan's health is very poor. It seems that she inherited her mother's disease. When she was thirteen years old, she couldn't get up from bed. Her father and her mother were old acquaintances, and Yu Wan was affected by it. Yu Wan was asked by Yu Wan's mother to build a machine for her that could help her stand up again... I don't know the rest. Later I heard that she was a monk and was discovered and burned alive by her father at home. .”
“Was it the Qian Ji Spirit Bone that was created at that time?”
"No, it was just an ordinary machine to assist the human body. The Qianji Spirit Bone was made later. Dad spent a long time at that time."
"Is your father also a monk?"
"No." Shi Lengcen shook his head. "People with the surname of our teacher are born unable to practice."
Is there any other way to say this?
An Yan was a little surprised.
The matter about Yu Wan was actually related to the wildfire machine factory. Since there was something that could block the aura, why was Yu Wan discovered in the first place?
There seems to be no point in thinking about these things. An Yan is now more interested in the Thousand Machine Bones.
If you can have this thing, you can have a trump card that can save your life, but this should not be something that can be revealed. The steam it emits when it is driven can be seen by a discerning person at a glance.
What about the Qian Ji Spirit Bone that is specially worn by monks?
"Do you know the Qianji Spiritual Bone very well?" An Yan continued to ask.
Master Lengcen replied: "The Thousand Machine Spiritual Bone requires first-class fire phosphorus crystals and spiritual energy to be driven together. When I copied it, many of its original functions were to increase the monk's abilities. I removed and changed them if I couldn't use them. Its specific function I can’t understand the ability either.”
First-class fire phosphorus...
Only the state has this.
Third-class fire phosphorus is used in some large heavy machinery, as well as household instruments that have not yet become popular and can only be used by the royal family and dignitaries.
The second-grade fire phosphorus is all used as ordnance, such as Xuanjiawei's Xuanji Bone, Fengxingju, Fengshenque, etc.
The last first-class fire phosphorus... An Yan saw in the book, only the guardians of the divine capital would use it.
An Yan suddenly thought of something else. Isn't there a fire phosphate mine in the wildfire machine factory?
It doesn't seem impossible to get first-class fire phosphorus.
"Qian Ji Spirit Bone, can you make it?"
Shi Lengcen said confidently: "If you have a design drawing, you can do it!"
"Then do you have a blueprint?"
Shi Lengcen's face suddenly fell, and he said sheepishly: "No."
Her Qianji Bone was also the design she stole before she escaped. Is it possible that she has to go back again?
But if your godmother catches you, it will be difficult to come out again.
But Mr. An seems to really want the Qianji Spiritual Bone...
Teacher Lengcen looked hesitant.
"If Mr. An wants it... I can find a way."
An Yan looked at the pretty girl in front of him and suddenly smiled: "We just met for the first time today, are you willing to help me like this?"
"I...I..." Shi Lengcen was speechless for a moment, but his face was slightly red.
She couldn't give a reason. Every time she thought of An Yan, her heart beat violently. Could this be love at first sight...
"I really want it," An Yan said at this time.
"If you can help me make something, that would be great, but don't force yourself. Only you and I can know about this matter. If there is a risk of being discovered by a third person, then I would rather not have this thousand So clever."
Master Lengcen was stunned for a while when he heard this, then nodded and said: "I will definitely help Mr. An make it!"
An Yan shook his head and said, "You don't understand what I mean. If this matter will be discovered by a third person, then don't continue to do it!"
Shi Lengcen thought about it carefully again and came up with an idea: Is Mr. An thinking about me...
Her heart trembled, and she nodded solemnly: "I will be careful!"

Morning, Prime Minister's Mansion.
An angel came to the palace, and Yu Jingtang personally took Jiang to greet him.
The person who came was a female official, and Yu Jingtang also knew her. She was from the inner house of the Queen of Heaven.
Yu Jingtang wanted to kneel down to greet him. Seeing this, the female officer hurriedly stepped forward to help him and said, "Master Yu, this is the Queen's decree for your nephew. Please ask Mr. An to come out first."
Yu Jingtang was not surprised. The Queen of Heaven had previously said that she would give An Yan an official position, so she ordered Wang Gui, the manager of the palace, to call An Yan over.
In fact, if there was no Anyan, this grace should have been bestowed on his son Yu Huanting, but he asked Yu Huanting to go to Chang'an to study, and made it known that his son would not be able to serve as an official if he failed to pass the Jinshi examination.
The female officer said with a smile: "I would like to express my congratulations to Prime Minister Yu. At such a young age, the Prime Minister's nephew is valued by the Queen and holds an important position. It is really gratifying and congratulatory for him to have a bright future."
Yu Jingtang pondered for a moment and asked, "May I ask the angel, what is his official position?"
This was an official decree. It was somewhat inappropriate for Yu Jingtang to ask such a question, but he had a special status. The female officer came closer to her and whispered: "Sixth-grade living man."
"..."
To the surprise of the female officer, Yu Jingtang did not show any joy after hearing this. However, she knew that Prime Minister Yu had always been unsmiling and cold-faced, so she continued to smile and said: "Master Prime Minister should also know that although this official position only has Sixth grade, but the advantage is that he can follow the Empress of Heaven and reach Tianting directly. The nephew of the prime minister is not weak enough. It is the Empress of Heaven's kindness that he can get this official position."
Kindness, indeed kindness.
Yu Jingtang's expression was neither sad nor happy, he cupped his hands and said, "Angel, please go ahead and have a cup of tea in the living room and wait."
"Sorry for bothering you."
After arranging everyone in the palace, Yu Jingtang walked out of the living room and called Jiang, saying: "Go to the entrance of the courtyard and wait, stop Wang Gui and An Yan, ask An Yan to go back directly, and ask Wang Gui said that An Yan was seriously ill due to the cold."
Mrs. Jiang was a little confused after hearing this, but she nodded obediently and left the living room to the entrance of the courtyard.
After waiting there for a while, he saw Wang Gui leading An Yan towards this side.
"lady."
"aunt."
Jiang responded calmly at first, looking at the two people who were bowing to salute, his eyes stayed on An Yan for a while, thinking about what happened that day on the small island in the center of Yun Lake, his face turned slightly red.
"Madam, the master has summoned us. Let's go in first." Wang Gui said.
"Wait a minute." Jiang called out quickly after regaining consciousness.
Then she coughed lightly again and said calmly: "My dear nephew, I want you to go back first."
An Yan was stunned for a moment, feeling strange in his heart. Not long after he returned from his new home, he was reading in Wentang Pavilion. After being found by Wang Gui, he rushed here non-stop. He heard from Wang Gui that an edict had been sent from the palace and that he might be sealed. He is an official.
But seeing that Jiang was deliberately waiting for them here, after thinking about it, he obediently handed over and left.
Of course, Yu Jingtang's business will be whatever he says.
After An Yan left, Jiang told Wang Gui Yu Jingtang's instructions again.
in the living room.
Yu Jingtang was chatting with the palace lady, who kept praising Yu Jingtang's nephew.
Until Wang Gui appeared at the entrance of the living room.
"Why is it just you, An Yan?" Yu Jingtang frowned.
Wang Gui walked to the center of the living room with a sad look on his face: "Master, Master An, unfortunately, he has contracted the cold and is bedridden at the moment."
Yu Jingtang said in surprise: "Fenghan? Have you let the doctor see you?"
Wang Guidao: "Mr. Sun has already prescribed medicine, but he said that Master An's condition is contagious, and all of Master An's personal servants are also sick."
Yu Jingtang frowned and said, "How could this happen?"
He looked at the female officer with a troubled expression.
The female official in the palace stood up and said with a smile: "What a coincidence. Let Mr. An recuperate first. I will go back to the palace to recover first. The Prime Minister will stay here."
Everyone in the palace walked out of the living room one after another, and Yu Jingtang asked Wang Gui to see off the guests.
After leaving the Prime Minister's Mansion, the girl next to the female official who delivered the order complained: "It's a waste of time. Mr. An will not get sick sooner or later."
But the female official in the palace chuckled: "It's not like he's sick. It's obvious that our prime minister doesn't want his nephew to take this official position."
The girl on the side said puzzledly: "Why, what a good official the living man is! Although he is only from the sixth rank, if he has no backer, there is no way to do it."
"I don't know what the prime minister is thinking."
#
An Yan did not go back to his residence, but sat down in a pavilion on the way between the living room of the outer house and the courtyard where he lived.
He didn't wait long when he saw Wang Gui coming out again. Wang Gui was startled when he saw An Yan, and hurriedly came over and said, "Master An, I'm calling you over."
An Yan nodded lightly, and then followed Wang Gui to the living room just now.
At this moment, Yu Jingtang was sitting there drinking tea alone.
"uncle."
"Yes." Yu Jingtang's expression was as cold and hard as ever, making it difficult to see any emotion or anger.
"sit down."
After An Yan sat down, she straightened her body and looked like she was listening to the instruction.
"You came here so quickly, did you not go back?"
"I think uncle will call me over again." An Yan said.
"You are quite smart." Yu Jingtang said calmly: "The person who came to the palace just now was the Queen of Heaven who appointed you an official."
"Yeah." An Yan responded calmly.
"Aren't you curious about what kind of official it is?"
"It doesn't matter what official position the Queen of Heaven appoints me. I will be whatever official uncle asks me to be." An Yan said respectfully.
Yu Jingtang frowned: "Heart-breaking words!"
An Yan said nonchalantly: "Of course only my uncle can hear this."
Yu Jingtang pondered for a while and said: "The official position given by the Queen of Heaven is that of a living minister. From the sixth rank, one can walk in front of the Queen of Heaven and in the palace."
An Yan's mind moved, and the Queen of Heaven approached...
His face remained calm: "Sounds good."
Yu Jingtang said: "It's very good. Even if my son Huanting wants to take this job, I have to take the initiative to ask for it from the Queen of Heaven."
An Yan thought deeply, "Uncle, do you think this official's offer is too good?"
Yu Jingtang was silent for a while, then nodded slightly: "What I originally wanted was for you to be a fifth-grade official."
He paused for a while and then said: "If you accept this official position, I will be greatly favored by the Queen of Heaven..."
An Yan suddenly stood up from his seat and bowed respectfully to Yu Jingtang: "Uncle, don't worry, my nephew will only be the official that my uncle asked him to be, and he has no other thoughts in his mind. Uncle, you are the prime minister of the current dynasty. How can my nephew do it?" Can’t you let go of a little sixth-grade living man?”
Yu Jingtang couldn't help but was startled. He felt relieved when he saw An Yan, but then he said with a serious face: "What is a little sixth-grade living man? How can he become an official in the future with such a high-minded and low-handedness?"
An Yan chuckled and said, "My uncle taught me a lesson, and my nephew should remember it."
"...Well, you go back."
"Nephew, please excuse me."
Yu Jingtang looked at An Yan's leaving figure and thought that his nephew was a completely different person from Huanting.
At first, I thought he was uneducated, but now it seems that he is a man with a sharp mind and can assist Huanting well in the officialdom in the future.
Yu Jingtang turned around and went into the living room again, wrote a letter on the desk, called Wang Gui and said, "Send someone to send it to Wen Ren's Mansion."
Wang Gui looked at the letter handed by his master with the words "Wen Renyun advises me personally" and immediately took it with both hands respectfully.
"yes."
After Wang Gui also left, Yu Jingtang let out a long sigh of relief.
He looked at the pen, ink, paper and inkstone on the table in trance.
He thought to himself: This is trying to persuade me to stop... Queen of Heaven, how long are you going to protect him?
The next day.
An Yan was still asleep when she was woken up by Xiangyun knocking on the door.
"Master An!"
An Yan got up from the bed and opened the door and asked, "What's wrong?"
Xiangyun looked a little panicked and said hesitantly: "Master An, there is someone... no, it's from the palace... there is someone from the palace looking for you to ask you to obey the order!"
In the palace?
An Yan was surprised. He immediately thought of what happened yesterday. He looked into the yard and found a pair of female officials standing there with solemn expressions.
He hurriedly asked: "Is the master here?"
Xiangyun shook his head: "No, just them. These people seem to be coming directly to us."
An Yan frowned and thought for a while, then said, "Go and ask Zhang Quan to inform the master about the people coming from the palace. I'll get dressed and come out."
After closing the door, An Yan's thoughts were racing for a moment.
Yesterday, someone came to the palace to convey the order, but Yu Jingtang stopped him and went back. Wang Gui said that he was seriously ill.
What does it mean to come again now? He also deliberately avoided Yu Jingtang.
After he got dressed and walked out of the room, he saw a group of beautifully dressed female officials standing there neatly.
When the leader saw An Yan coming out, he said calmly: "An Yan listens to the order!"
