Ruan Geng lowered his head to hide the shock in his heart. An expert would know if something was wrong as soon as he made a move. Ruan Mianmian definitely understood, and based on past knowledge, her so-called half-knowledge was far beyond the others.
Naturally, the old Marquis knew about the agreement between Xiao Naituanzi and the Emperor.
When he came outside the door just now, Ruan Geng planned to take this opportunity to find out where Lin Shilang went wrong. He knew a retired and experienced old craftsman, and he would ask him to think about it and see if he could solve the problem.
Looking at the scene in front of him now, if he guessed correctly, Ruan Mianmian wanted to solve the problem by himself.
Ruan Geng couldn't imagine how big a shock it would cause if Little Tits Dumpling solved a problem that couldn't be solved by all the people in the Industrial Development Department.
What Ruan Mianmian once said came to mind. She wanted to stand tall, so high that no one could reach her. Before, she thought it was just a child's talk, but now Ruan Geng suddenly realized that it might actually be possible.
Ruan Mianmian stared intently at the model of Yishouyuan, marveling at the wisdom of the ancients. In later generations, she was very interested in ancient architecture, and she was obsessed with it for a while and studied it specifically.
"If my estimate is correct, there should be some hills here."
Cai Shangshu suppressed his inner wonder and asked, "Where did the princess know that there are hills here?"
"Look at the water flow." Ruan Mianmian stood on tiptoe and held out her little hands, but stopped mid-sentence, and then she sighed in annoyance.
Jiu'er stepped forward knowingly and picked up Ruan Mianmian. She turned back and smiled at her to express her gratitude.
The old Marquis and Cai Shangshu crowded to the table to watch. Ruan Mianmian turned around and started gesturing with her little fingers.
"The water is introduced into the garden from the south. It passes here, here, and then something is wrong."
"What's wrong? The water is flowing as usual." Ruan Geng retorted.
Cai Shangshu looked complicated and looked at Ruan Mianmian without saying a word, just waiting to see how she would explain.
"What's wrong is not here, but the following paragraph." Ruan Mianmian pointed.
Ruan Geng leaned over and took a closer look: "There's nothing wrong with it."
"Grandpa, please see, there is a lake here, and on the lake is a nine-curved bridge. There is also a pavilion in the bridge. Sitting in the pavilion, you should have a view, but the surroundings are unremarkable and there is nothing to add to the scenery."
"Look at the lake, isn't it nice?" Ruan Geng didn't understand at all.
"The person who designed the garden built for the Queen Mother could not have made such a stupid mistake. The only explanation is that the water flowing through it creates a scene of its own. If this is a hill, the water flowing down will not only shock people, but also sit in the pavilion and listen to the water.
Voice."
As the applause rang out, Cai Yigong looked at Ruan Mianmian and exclaimed: "The princess is so smart, so smart."
"Cai Shangshu, is my little boy right?" Ruan Geng hurriedly asked Cai Yigong for confirmation.
"Yes, everything is right." Cai Shangshu looked expectant, maybe Princess Linglong really has a way.
Because of mistakes, the project has not been able to come up with a plan that satisfies the emperor, which has seriously affected the construction progress of the Yishou Garden. Everyone in the Ministry of Works is worried, fearing that it will not be completed as scheduled.
"Can the hills disappear?" Ruan Mianmian asked, but she already had a vague answer in her heart.
Cai Shangshu sighed: "It's not missing. This area was originally supervised by Lin Shilang of the Ministry of Industry. I don't know if he was blind or something, but he ordered the hills to be opened to allow the water to flow directly."
"Wow, he also imitated Foolish Old Man who moved mountains." Ruan Mianmian's eyes widened, "He directly changed the course of the river."
"Yes, it cost a lot of manpower and material resources, leaving a mess behind." Cai Yigong said worriedly.
Ruan Geng said casually: "Then just change it back."
Ruan Mianmian shook his head and sighed: "Grandpa, it's not that easy. The water flow here must have become stronger now. Even if the sand and soil block it, it will be washed away immediately."
"Yes, that's it, that's it." Cai Shangshu saw hope, "Does the princess have a solution?"
"It can be solved."
"Mianmian, you can't be honest." Ruan Geng was still more conservative, fearing that his granddaughter would talk too much, "This is no joke."
"Cai Shangshu, let me go back and think about it." Ruan Mianmian was not disobedient. Her grandfather did it for her own good, and besides, she really couldn't think of a specific solution for a while.
Cai Yigong was already very happy when he heard this. You know how many people were helpless after seeing it, and frankly said that they could only make mistakes like this.
"I'd like to trouble my princess to think carefully. If I can really come up with a good idea, I will report it to the emperor. I believe there will be a heavy reward."
"Okay." Ruan Mianmian agreed and snickered secretly in her heart. There was no big reward, it was just an exchange of conditions. She already knew that.
Now that everything they wanted to know was known, Ruan Geng and Ruan Mianmian had a few words with Cai Shangshu and then found an excuse to leave the Ministry of Industry.
After getting on his carriage, the little breast dumpling slumped down on the chair and let out a long breath.
"What? Are you finding it troublesome?" Ruan Geng joked upon seeing this, "You were quite confident just now. If I hadn't stopped you, maybe you could have issued a military order saying that you could do it."
"Grandpa, don't yell, who says I can't do it?" Ruan Mianmian was extremely confident, "I just want to think about the best solution."
"I can't think of a single solution, how many more can you think of? Do you still have a choice?" Ruan Gengshang stretched out his hand to touch Ruan Mianmian's forehead, "You don't have a fever, why are you talking nonsense?"
The little girl giggled: "Grandpa, you will know if this is nonsense after I finish the drawing."
"Are you really sure?" Ruan Geng lowered his voice, "Don't worry, my grandfather knows an excellent retired craftsman..."
"Stop it." Ruan Mianmian knew what Ruan Geng was going to say as soon as he heard it, "I never lie, especially in front of you."
Ruan Geng looked at Ruan Mianmian thoughtfully: "I don't know and have never taught you anything in this area. Don't tell me that you learned from books. Besides, there are no books on gardening outside."
"Grandpa underestimated me, I use this place." Ruan Mianmian raised his finger and pointed to his head.
Seeing Ruan Geng's confused look, Ruan Mianmian explained: "I didn't say I wanted to help Mr. Cai build a garden. What I want to solve is the water flow problem."
"Isn't that still part of the garden?" Ruan Geng didn't understand.
Ruan Mianmian sat up and said patiently: "Don't worry about the garden or not. To put it simply, the mistake that Minister Lin made was to completely ruin a good scenery. What I want to think about is how to create a good scenery for this place.
"
"That's too difficult. It can't be solved by planting a few trees and adding a few flowers and plants. Otherwise, the people at the Ministry of Works wouldn't be able to figure it out."
"Grandpa, just wait, Mianmian won't let you down." Ruan Mianmian slowly closed her eyes as she spoke.
Ruan Geng turned around and was about to speak, and found that Xiaonuituanzi seemed to be asleep. He stepped forward and helped her adjust her position so that she could lie down on the seat and sleep more comfortably.
Looking at Ruan Mianmian's tired face, a look of distress flashed across the old Marquis's face. This chapter has been completed!
