Hearing the loud noise in the backyard, Zhao Fu immediately trembled all over, and his face turned pale with fright. Although Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng tried their best to help him, he was still like a ball of mud and could not get up.

A clever boy nearby saw this situation and ran to the backyard. After a while, he ran back with excitement on his face and shouted happily to Zhao Fu: "Master, Miss is okay, that thing didn't explode."

Miss!"

As soon as Zhao Fu heard what the boy said, he immediately became energetic. He stood up with all his strength and walked back and forth in the room excitedly. He kept mumbling: "Thank you Bodhisattva for your blessing. May your little girl be safe and sound. Come here."

I will definitely take my daughter to the temple to offer sesame oil money..."

Zhao Fu only focused on his own happiness and completely forgot that there were Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng next to him. When he heard what he said about Bodhisattva's blessing, about going to the temple to fulfill his vows, etc., the two of them had black lines on their faces.

Mentioning Bodhisattva in front of these two Taoist priests, where does this put the faces of Sanqing Taoist Master?

Fortunately, the boy next to Zhao Fu was smart and hurriedly pulled Zhao Fu's sleeves, which made him wake up. He smiled awkwardly at Master Yuan Tiangang, then his expression changed, and he hurriedly begged again.

"Old fairy, please help me persuade this girl Yifan. Now she wants to build a steam engine. At first, I thought it was not dangerous, so I didn't object. But I didn't expect that this thing would explode if it was not built well. Just now

You heard that sound too, it was even more powerful than the thunder on the pier, and this is already the third time. It really makes me uneasy for a girl to deal with this kind of thing every day!"

Seeing Zhao Fu pleading with tears and runny nose, Yuan Tiangang also felt soft-hearted. Zhao Fu was destined to have no children. He only had such a daughter at the age of forty. Naturally, he was very precious, but Yifan was nine years old.

When she met herself in 1999, she found out that she was destined to die young and would definitely die before she turned eighteen.

When Zhao Fu found out, he was almost in agony. He had a rough life, his parents died early, and he relied on the support of his family to complete his studies. Unfortunately, he failed many times when he was young. His wife did not dislike her family's poverty.

They married him at that time, and the two supported each other for more than 20 years, until he was forty years old. The two had a daughter, Yifan, and not long after Yifan was born, he became a Jinshi in high school, which can be said to be

As time turned, he originally thought that his wife and daughter could live a good life. However, within two years of his being an official, his wife fell ill and passed away soon after. It can be said that Yifan was his only relative in this world, but his daughter

But he died young, and Yuan Tiangang, who was regarded as a god, personally affirmed that he would never go wrong. This blow was extremely serious to him. He was only in his fifties, but now he is already

His hair is gray and his back is slightly hunched, making him look like an old man in his sixties.

Although Yifan died young, perhaps God was trying to make up for his fault. At a young age, Yifan was already extremely intelligent, and his talent was definitely not inferior to that of Li Chunfeng. Therefore, when Yuan Tiangang saw him, he cried out that it was a pity, such a good talent.

Meiyu was a lifeless person, but she happened to have nothing to do at that time, and she felt pity for Yifan, so she lived in the Zhao Mansion and taught Yifan. Although she did not have the name of teacher and student, she was actually a teacher and student.

This teaching lasted for three years, and Yifan's intelligence was beyond his expectation. She could hardly challenge anything. She could learn astronomy, geography, arithmetic, etc. in one go, and she could also repeat the same thing.

By the time she was twelve years old, she had already achieved profound attainments in all aspects. At that time, Yuan Tiangang happened to have something to do, so he left Dengzhou. Two and three years later, Yuan Tiangang really missed himself.

This little disciple.

"Zhao Biejia, what is that steam engine you just mentioned that can make the junior sister so obsessed?" Li Chunfeng asked curiously. Although Yuan Tiangang did not officially accept Yifan as a disciple, when he talked about her with him,

, both in and out of words, Yifan has been regarded as his disciple, so he calls him junior sister.

"Huh? This is..." Zhao Fu was just excited when he saw Yuan Tiangang. It was only then that Zhao Fu discovered Li Chunfeng.

"Oh, this is my disciple Chunfeng!" Yuan Tiangang introduced hurriedly.

"Ah! It turns out that it's Master Taishi Ling. This subordinate is short-sighted and disrespectful!" Zhao Fu saluted hurriedly. Although Taishi Ling's rank was not as high as his, he was a close minister of the emperor and his status was naturally different, so Zhao Fu did not

Dare to be negligent, Li Chunfeng also bowed in return, and then waited for Zhao Fu to answer his question.

"This... this steam engine is quite complicated, and it also involves His Royal Highness King Qi. I can't explain it clearly at the moment, but my daughter is behind me. We will find out when we go and take a look." Zhao Fu also knew little about steam engines, so he naturally explained.

Not sure, so I shied away from it.

Yuan Tiangang was also anxious to see his disciples, so under the leadership of Zhao Fu, the three of them went to the backyard together. It was said to be the backyard, but in fact it was not Zhao Fu's inner house, but a separate courtyard set aside next to the inner house. The three of them

When they came in, they saw several people in armor surrounding a pile of rags and observing something carefully. Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng were both confused. They couldn't figure out what these people wearing Tang Dynasty standard armor were doing.

of?

"Yifan, look who's here?" Zhao Fu shouted loudly, with unintended doting in his tone.

When one of the shorter people heard this, he immediately turned around and said with dissatisfaction on his pretty face: "Dad, didn't I tell you not to disturb me at this time..."

Before Yifan finished speaking, he suddenly saw Yuan Tiangang looking at him with a smile. A look of surprise appeared on his face, and he screamed: "Master!" Then he wanted to pounce on her. Unfortunately, she was wearing armor.

It's too heavy. With her small frame, it's pretty good that she can walk around, but she can't run at all.

Yuan Tiangang was afraid that his precious disciple would fall, so he hurriedly stepped forward to support her and said with a smile: "Yifan, why are you dressed like this and not afraid of being crushed?"

"Hehe, master, the steam engine my disciple built is very unstable. It will either leak or explode. We are all afraid of it, so we asked King Qi to borrow some sets of armor. Even if there are fragments hitting us, we won't use it.

Worried about getting hurt." Yifan said with a smile.

"You girl..." Yuan Tiangang pointed at Yifan and didn't know what to say. He knew it was so dangerous, but he still did it. Whose temper was he like?

"Huh? This must be my senior brother who watches the stars, right?" Zhao Yifan also noticed Li Chunfeng standing side by side with his father at this time. Looking at the other person's dress and demeanor, she could easily guess the other person's personality with her intelligence.

identity.

Li Chunfeng was stunned for a moment when he heard this beautiful junior sister call him, but then he smiled and said: "Haha, yes, I am Li Chunfeng." As a Taishi Ling, observing the sky is naturally one of his jobs, so he said

It’s true that he is a stargazer.

"Yifan, this steam engine looks quite complicated. What is its use?" Yuan Tiangang did not bother to introduce it to the two disciples. He walked directly to the pile of junk and observed it. Unfortunately, this thing was too damaged and some

The place was completely deformed, so he couldn't figure out why.

"By the way, master, you came just in time. I was just asking you to help me figure out the problem with this steam engine." Yifan said, taking out a thick stack of drawings from a box next to him and handing them to Yuan Tiangang.

.

However, after Yuan Tiangang took it over, he smiled bitterly and said: "Yifan, you are good at ingenious construction, which makes me ashamed to be a teacher. This steam engine is so complicated, I am afraid that even a teacher can't help you much?"

"

Yuan Tiangang told the truth. Although Li Chunfeng and Zhao Yifan were both his disciples, he actually only taught them the basics of their own development. What they achieved in the end depended on their interests. For example, Li Chunfeng liked to make calculations.

Therefore, in terms of calculation, he is better than the master Yuan Tiangang, and Zhao Yifan likes ingenious construction, so he is better than the two in steam engines.

"Master, you taught me all the so-called secrets and sparseness. You and your senior brother can help me see it!" Yifan said coquettishly, holding Yuan Tiangang's hand.

In fact, Yifan was also quite distressed. At first, she wanted to complete the manufacturing of the steam engine by herself, but later she discovered that this was a huge project and all she could do was design. As for the manufacturing of each component, she had to

It requires the assistance of talents from all walks of life, so in the end we had to ask Li Min for help. The craftsmen wearing armors next to them were the top craftsmen Li Min brought from Chang'an. However, these craftsmen could only work according to Yifan's design.

Manufacturing, but was unable to discuss the design flaws with her. Today, Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng came and could just help her.

Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng were also very curious about this steam engine, so they no longer refused and began to study the drawings seriously. Although they were not specialized in this, they still had the basics, but the more they looked at it, the more they frowned.

tight.

"Yifan, it doesn't matter that the structure of this steam engine is complicated. The key is the material and workmanship. If these two points are not met, I'm afraid it will be absolutely difficult to build this steam engine." Li Chunfeng was very young and took the lead to put his own

The point of view was expressed.

"Well, Chunfeng is good. Yifan, your design is extremely clever. I think there shouldn't be any big problems." Yuan Tiangang also nodded in agreement.

After hearing what the two said, Yifan looked disappointed and said slightly angrily: "Master, senior brother, your opinions are the same as what His Highness King Qi said, and he has already gone to the Ministry of Industry to ask for better steel, but

I’m just not convinced and want to build a steam engine ahead of time with my own ability.”

Hearing these angry words, Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng looked at each other and smiled, thinking that although Yifan was smart, he was still too young and did not know that some things in this world could not be accomplished by one person's strength.

Just when Yuan Tiangang's master and apprentice met, Prince Qi's palace was hosting a man. This man was burying his head on the table and stuffing all kinds of delicacies into his mouth, as if he was reincarnated by a starving ghost. And

Li Min and Yan Bei sat across from each other with sympathetic faces. At the same time, they were worried that the other would choke to death after eating too quickly, so they each held a glass of water in their hands. As soon as the other person choked, they would immediately bring the water to them and serve them very well.
