"What kind of mechanism?" Mu Siyu asked, "Can you draw it?"
"certainly."
Mu Siyu added a few more candles to make the light in the room stronger.
Lu Yi sat in front of his desk, and as if with the help of a god, the pen in his hand drew clear drawings one after another.
Mu Siyu looked at those drawings and forgot everything around her for a moment, immersed in the mystery of the mechanism.
Lu Yi painted this painting for two hours. When he stopped, he found that his arm was sore and painful.
He shook his arm and looked up at his wife sitting opposite.
Mu Siyu arranged the drawings and said, "Are they set in this order?"
"Yes, that's it." Lu Yi asked, "What's the point?"
"These mechanisms are linked together, and nothing will work if one link is missing. This kind of mechanism array is said to be easy to break, not easy to break, and difficult to break. If there are people who understand its principles, it will be easy to break. If
If you don't understand, then you can only wait for death. It's a miracle that you can come back alive. However, I understand Master Qi's mechanism skills, so he shouldn't be at his wits' end!"
"Perhaps we were already poisoned by poisonous smoke at that time. Let alone him, even I was a little unconscious. If you hadn't avoided various traps by relying on your sense of danger, you would have been a widow."
"Don't say these things again." Mu Siyu said angrily, "If you say such unlucky words in the future, you will go to sleep in the stable and don't go back to the main room to rest."
Lu Yi held Mu Siyu in his arms: "I'm hungry, madam. Do you have any midnight snack?"
"It's that hour. The servants have gone to bed early and the fire in the kitchen has been put out. If you want to have a late night snack, go and light the fire, otherwise you'll be hungry."
"Listen to Madam. As long as I can be with Madam, you are willing to let me light the fire and wash your feet with water."
Lu Yi lit the fire while Mu Siyu kneaded the dough.
In the spacious kitchen, two men and women dressed in rich clothes were busy preparing a meal like ordinary couples.
None of them spoke, and the candlelight stretched their silhouettes very long.
On weekdays, they were very impressive in front of their subordinates, but at this time they were just ordinary people, living the lives of an ordinary couple.
One person stood at the door and looked at the two people in the kitchen.
Mu Siyu was the first to spot him. Seeing him standing there, she said, "You didn't just come back from the Yamen, did you?"
"Yeah." Lu Shaoyu touched his stomach, "I'm hungry too."
"Okay, help with the sauce." Mu Siyu said, "There are no freeloaders in our family."
"Are you going back to the capital?" Lu Yi asked.
"Originally, I came here for rescue. Now that the war is over, many things after the war still need to be dealt with. In addition, the capital side also needs people to take care of it. Dad and Mr. Qi can't go back for the time being, so I will go back first."
"Okay, bring more people with you. I'm worried that those thieves will not be reconciled after their defeat. Seeing that you are a young boy who is easy to bully, they will be disadvantageous to you on the road."
"I know." Lu Shaoyu was full of confidence, "Either they don't show up, or if they show up, they will give me a chance to make a contribution."
"Arrogant."
"Dad once taught me that confidence is when everything is prepared, and arrogance is when you are self-righteous. I thought I was the former."
Mu Siyu pulled the noodles and said calmly: "Are you still having midnight snacks? It's dinner time. No official business can be discussed at this time, otherwise you will be deprived of the qualifications for midnight snacks."
"Mom, I haven't eaten for a day. If you don't give me something to eat, I will faint from hunger." Lu Shaoyu showed weakness.
"No matter how busy you are, you can't neglect your health. How can you starve yourself when you're just growing up?" Mu Siyu said, "The swordsman next to you now is a swordsman and doesn't know how to take care of others. I'll call you two more
Someone who knows how to take care of you."
"No, it's fine as it is."
The Lu family hadn't eaten at the same table for a long time, which reminded them of their old days in the countryside in Hubei City.
"When are you leaving?" Mu Siyu asked.
"In five or six days!"
"Set aside a day and let the whole family go back to our hometown to visit and give incense to your grandparents." Mu Siyu said, "I don't know when I will come back after leaving, so I should do something for my hometown."
"good."
A few days later, the Lu family returned to the village in a carriage with more than a dozen followers.
When I arrived at the entrance of the village, I saw many people gathered there, some from the village and some from the neighboring village.
"Master Lu, Mrs. Lu..."
"That must be Mr. Xiao Lu! The child back then is now an adult, and he looks really talented!"
"That's Xiaoyun'er? She's really pretty. I've even hugged her before! She was so small at that time..."
The village chief led the villagers to welcome him.
"I've met Mr. Lu and Mrs. Lu..."
The village chief took the lead, and other villagers also knelt down.
The poor family that was originally looked down upon by others is now not only rich but also the prime minister of a country who is highly valued by the emperor. They are amazed and a little uneasy at the same time, worried that he will come back to settle old scores.
"Village Chief, we are just coming back for a visit, you don't have to do this." Mu Siyu said, "Please let everyone disperse! Do what you usually do today. We are here to pay homage to our ancestors."
"Can we have a casual meal at the villagers' house at noon?" the village chief said.
"No need." Lu Yi said calmly, "We can just eat at my aunt's house."
The aunt he was talking about was Hu Moli.
When their family moved out of here, the house here was given to Hu Moli's family.
Hu Moli and the others paid the money and the house was sold to them, so they lived in peace of mind.
In addition to the Lu family, those who came back this time also included the Tong couple and their son Zhu Chen.
"Sister-in-law Tong, you are so lucky! Your daughter is the wife of the prime minister, and your son has also become a high official. You said your Zhu Chen has such a sister and brother-in-law, what else do you need to worry about?"
The people in the village did not dare to pester Mu Siyu and Lu Yi, but they were not so afraid of Mrs. Tong and Dr. Zhu.
The village chief accompanied Lu Yi all the time.
It wasn't until Lu Yi asked them to leave again that the village chief left in a restrained manner.
Originally, the prime minister of a country was walking around the village. If he, the village chief, could spend more time with him, he would become a respectable person in the future.
Hu Moli and Huang Chengfeng came over.
Their two daughters are already married.
"I notified An Ning and Jing Jing in advance, and they will be here soon." Hu Moli said to Mu Siyu, "They kept talking about missing their cousin, and said that if it hadn't been for my cousin's advice, they wouldn't have the good life they have now. Siyu.
Yu, my aunt is stupid and doesn’t know what to say. My heart is very grateful to you."
"I know." Mu Siyu said, "We don't speak the same language as one family, so we don't have to be so polite. My uncle's health looks good."
"I have managed well these years." Huang Chengfeng said, "I have been taking care of the amusement park's account books for the past few years, and I only quit last year."
"I know. Shuyu mentioned it to me." Mu Siyu took the children and followed Hu Moli and his wife back to their home in the village.
