After sending the finished rugby to Qin Qiong, Lin Yi also started his busy life. The water tower was built very high and entered the stage of assembling the magic circle. Lin Yi climbed up and down every day to start hard work.
The generals who thought that having rugby balls would calm down the soldiers were met with another explosive chaos.
This time it was not intentional on the part of the soldiers. They were divided into small teams and trying to figure out the game. However, because they were not familiar with the rules of the game and went on the field with the ball in hand, the conflict intensified.
If fighting was not allowed in the military camp, they might have started fighting already, but it was almost the same. They just collided violently on the field, and in the end the generals had to step in as referees to make the scene more beautiful.
However, the miserable life of the soldiers also began. The generals were afraid that such a scene would happen again, so they decisively increased the intensity of training, draining their energy every day and making them not even in the mood to play ball.
Hit each other.
This phenomenon lasted until Li Shimin ordered a rugby match. This time the generals directly threatened them with qualifications, so the soldiers played in a civilized manner, at least on the surface, and there was no shortage of small tricks secretly.
.
Lin Yi really couldn't care less about this. Now that the water tower is almost completed, he has a lot of work. While directing the inexperienced craftsmen to do the finishing work, he is also carefully carving out the magic circle.
In his vision, the water tower will be shaped like a goblet, with a conical triangle on top to store water, and a long cylindrical channel that can naturally pressurize the water and then deliver it to thousands of homes.
Going indoors, he also wanted to paint the water tower in aqua blue to make it look fresh.
But everything changed the moment Chang Le arrived. Chang Le, who was very excited, insisted that Brother Yi build the water tower according to her ideas. In addition to changing the top into the shape of a flower, it also had to be painted pink.
Lin Yi wanted to cry, but facing Chang Le who looked expectant, he couldn't say no.
"Well, would you like to ask your godfather for his opinion?" Lin Yi knew that this was a desperate struggle because Li Shimin's resistance to Changle was not as good as his. But that was all he could do. At least it was a glimmer of hope, wasn't it?
"Well... that's good, I believe my father will not reject me." Chang Le said playfully in Lin Yi's ear.
Lin Yi returned her a bitter smile. Then he stared blankly at the unfinished water tower, mourning its fate.
Chang Le had no intention of returning to the palace so soon. She ran directly to the Lin Mansion, then took Lin Ying and Xiao Wu with her to play in the newly built swimming pool.
The transparent glass room is made of Lin Yi's special glass, which has strengthened the hardness, and then draws curtains on all sides, so that it can be better hidden. If Lin Yi and the others want to use it, they can open the glass door without drawing the curtains.
It's okay. That's more like an outdoor swimming pool. At least Li Chengqian likes to play with water like this. Although he has officially changed the bathtub into a swimming pool, he still likes to swim in Lin Mansion.
Not only him, but also the boys from those houses like him very much. It's just that the women of the Lin family or Princess Changle can drive them out when necessary. Otherwise, sometimes even Lin Yi won't be able to speak.
Of course, Lin Yi was too busy to take care of them.
Even if the emperor selected those apprentices with good qualifications, he didn't have time to meet them. He only gave them a blueprint and let them continue to explore on their own. I don't have time to deal with this now. Although Lin Yi was a little sympathetic to this
79 talented people with excellent qualifications, but they still shook their heads and threw it behind them.
Jubaozhai became lively again. This time, small batches of magic lamps and a magic item called Liangyu, which regulates temperature, were sold in small batches. They were both very popular, which made Empress Changsun extremely happy when she looked at the account books every day.
But Li Chengqian, who had learned how to make these two magic items, was as tired as a dead dog every day. He hadn't gone to the Lin Mansion to play in the water for three days. His heart was filled with infinite resentment, but he still had to get up and continue to work hard, just because
His mother set a daily limit for him, and if he failed to meet it, money would be deducted.
As expected, the emperor could not resist Chang Le's plea, so Lin Yi turned the first water tower in the Tang Dynasty into a flower. On the day it was completed, even the cheers of the craftsmen seemed to be much weaker.
With light green stems and pink flowers, Lin Yi can only say: Changle is so creative!
After a trial run, the effect was good, and then when it was officially put into operation the next day, Li Chengqian participated in the ceremony as a representative. The scene was very grand and formal. Even Li Shimin boarded the flying chariot and watched the scene from a distance,
Of course, there are also several important ministers on the flying chariot.
They were very amazed by the water tower, especially when there were huge cheers from below, and they were all filled with joy in their hearts, as they finally found a solution to the drought.
But facing the flower, their smiles were a little forced. They even complained about the emperor's compromise in their hearts. A giant flower suddenly appeared in the ancient city. Something didn't look right, even the one next to it
In order to keep the building in harmony with Chang'an City as a whole, even the tiles outside are gray or sauce-colored, and a lot of modifications have been made to the outside to try to be as close to the overall decoration style of Chang'an.
But all the hard work destroyed this giant flower, leaving nothing behind.
Lin Yi looked at his hands, then looked up at the giant flower in front of him, turned around and walked away. He had better go home and rest. From tomorrow on, he will go to various parts of the pass to build water towers. This time he will definitely
If it’s aqua blue, definitely!
The Lin Mansion was holding a banquet in the evening. No one was over ten years old at all. Although it was nominally here to see Lin Yi off, eating, drinking and having fun were the essence of the banquet. The scene was completely chaotic. In Lin Yi's case,
In the government, they are the most relaxed, because there are no parents following them, and no one cares about what they are doing.
Lin was also surprised to find that in this chaos, he actually saw Bing'er standing outside in a depressed mood.
"What's wrong with you?" Lin Yi walked out, leaving behind the children who were making a mess.
"Nothing." Binger glanced at Lin Yi lightly.
"You're not good at lying. If you look so bored, I'll know there's something on your mind."
"Are you the only one smart?" Bing'er rolled her eyes at him.
"Of course I'm smart. Don't you think so?" Lin Yi raised his eyebrows.
"My father wants me to get married." Bing'er lowered her head and said solemnly.
"Ah? So fast? What should I do?" Lin Yi didn't expect that this was what Bing'er was worried about.
"What are you going to do?" Bing'er blushed a little. Although Lin Yi is still young, he is still a man. It is easy for people to misunderstand him.
"You are married, who will protect me?" Lin Yi was a little worried. He had just adapted to life with Bing'er, and Bing'er not only protected him, but also helped him do many things. It was very useful.
ah.
"You...hum!" Bing'er got angry, stepped on him and left.
"Ah..." Lin Yi rubbed the foot that was stepped on painfully. It seemed that it was impossible not to be defensive. She was easily injured, but why was she angry? Lin Yi was a little confused.
He had just offended his two servants because he left them at home and only took Bing'er out, so Li Ran had been looking at him with resentful eyes all afternoon, and now he offended Bing'er again.
It was a little too memorized today.
No matter how angry Bing'er was, she still followed Lin Yi on the road the next morning. After a good night's sleep, the heartless Lin Yi started to worry about Bing'er's departure while sitting in the car.
Would it be so useful in person? Or maybe I could find a husband by my side? Well, maybe it would work.
"Hey, Bing'er. What kind of person do you want to marry?" Lin Yi raised his spirits and asked.
Bing'er didn't say anything, just rolled her eyes at him.
"Uh... you have to tell me, otherwise how can I find your in-laws?"
"You want to find my in-laws? Why do you want to find my in-laws? Who are you to me? Why should I listen to you?" Bing'er, who was very sensitive to the word "finding her in-laws," went completely crazy.
"Uh... don't be angry, don't be angry, why don't you stop looking for me?" Lin Yi was so frightened that he waved his hands repeatedly.
"You said you wouldn't look for it? Who are you? Do I have to listen to you?" Bing'er's anger grew even stronger.
Lin Yi huddled in the corner of the carriage. It was really scary for a woman to get angry! He had never encountered such a gentle woman in his previous life, wasn't it good?
"Why are you hiding? Am I so scary? Just talk!" Bing'er continued to be aggressive.
"No, no, you are not scary, you are very cute." Lin Yi said quickly. He really doubted if he would be beaten if he spoke slower.
"Am I cute? My cute dad wants to marry me off, wuwu..." Bing'er cried sadly.
Lin Yi was dumbfounded, what should he do?
Lin Yi was at a loss and could only timidly hand over the handkerchief next to her, hoping to stop her tears.
But what troubled him was that Binger was crying louder and louder.
He could even imagine the soldiers outside looking at the carriage curiously.
"Well, if you don't want to get married, just think of a way. There will always be a way, right?" Lin Yi said with some difficulty. In fact, he didn't know if it was right to say this at this time.
"Is there any way? Please help me think of one." Bing'er seemed to have had enough crying, but she was still sobbing, but at least she was willing to communicate with Lin Yi, which was a good sign.
Lin Yi breathed a sigh of relief, it would be easier if he could talk, "Do you have anyone you like?"
"No." Bing'er glared at him fiercely. This man's words were unpopular.
"Uh... then... what kind of person do you want to marry?" Lin Yi was startled, how could this woman change her face so quickly?
"You ask again?" Bing'er made a gesture to fight.
"Oh, I can't help but ask. I have to know what you like so that I can help you. You have to get married." Lin Yi was also in a dilemma.
"Woo..." Bing'er started crying again when she mentioned this. Lin Yi was right, she would have to get married sooner or later.
"Okay, okay, don't cry. If you don't want to marry, you won't get married." Lin Yi was afraid of her and decided to ignore the problem. Anyway, we will talk about it when the time comes.
"It doesn't matter what you said." Bing'er cried. Of course she didn't want to get married, but her father didn't agree.
"Then what do you think we should do? Why don't you marry me!" Lin Yi was annoyed by her crying and began to yell at her.
The crying stopped abruptly, and both of them stared blankly without realizing it.
There was silence in the carriage for a moment...dd
