Chapter 1862 innocent old lady
The carriage slowly stopped in front of the mansion. Yuan Yao stood up, lifted the curtain, and saw Yuan Quan standing at the door, and couldn't help but chuckled.
"Auntie, sister is here to pick you up."
Mrs. Yuan opened her eyes, glanced at her, and slowly got up. "Oh, it's finally here." She reached out to support her waist, frowned, and called Yuan Yao, who was about to open the door, and told him not to be anxious. Yuan Yao's eyes flashed, and then she understood. She turned around and opened the window, and waved to Yuan Quan who was standing at the door.
Yuan Quan walked over, and said, "Auntie has worked hard all the way." He reached out to pull the car door, but did not open it. She looked at Yuan Yao in surprise. Yuan Yao was innocent and gave a wink on his back. Yuan Quan then understood, glared at Yuan Yao, turned his face, and his smile became brighter. "Auntie, you came just right. I just bought a few river fish in the morning and raised it in the water tank in the other courtyard. I will lead you to taste it."
Mrs. Yuan was a little disappointed. "Marty Wu is not in the mansion?"
"He, I'm going to Xuanwu Lake to train troops." Yuan Quan said, calling a guard and gave a few instructions. The guard turned around. Mrs. Yuan had no choice but to let Yuan Yao open the door. Yuan Quan got into the car, sat down next to Mrs. Yuan, held Mrs. Yuan's shoulder, and praised him a few words. "The water in Taihu Lake is good. I haven't seen him for a few days, and my aunt's temperament is getting better and better."
"Clever words and slander." Mrs. Yuan hated Yuan Quan and couldn't help laughing. "Marry husband and follow him, and dare to joke with your aunt."
Yuan Quan covered his mouth and smiled. "Auntie, don't say that. He said it a few days ago. He was scared when he saw you. If he knew you were here, he would be so nervous."
"He is afraid of me?" Mrs. Yuan curled her lips and disagreed. "Am I fierce?"
"Auntie is not angry and powerful." Yuan Quan patted Mrs. Yuan on the shoulder. "Look, he is afraid of you, an invincible little overlord, and who else is not afraid of you? But then again, he is a prince now, and his aunt will give him some face in the future."
The smile on Mrs. Yuan's face faded a little, and she leaned against the wall of the car without saying a word. She knew Yuan Quan's personality too well. If it weren't for the seriousness of the matter, Yuan Quan wouldn't have reminded her as soon as she met. But after thinking about it, she seemed that she had not been particularly strict with Sun Ce. Where did Yuan Quan start? Could it be that Sun Ce had Huang Yueying and the eldest princess, who was cold in Yuan Quan? This hateful boy was already very greedy, and he dared to be flirted with the new and old? At the beginning, he wanted to marry Yuan Quan, but now he has abandoned him in chaos. It is tolerant, but who is intolerable. She was originally dissatisfied with Sun Ce's successive concubines, and when she saw that Yuan Quan was wronged, she was even more angry.
"Auntie, what's wrong with coming to Moling this time? I'm so anxious?"
Mrs. Yuan remembered the serious matter and endured the unhappiness. She took Zhao Qi to Taihu Lake and discussed a countermeasure with Yang Biao and Huang Wan, hoping to avoid the war, and asked Yuan Yao to take out the manuscripts. Yuan Quan was surprised. He read Zhao Qi's memorials again, folded them again, put them away, and asked calmly.
"Auntie thinks it's feasible?"
Seeing that Yuan Quan was not as enthusiastic as he thought, Mrs. Yuan was a little disappointed. "Do you think it's not good?"
"I don't know much about those power schemes and dare not argue. I just think he may not be suitable to go to Chang'an to rule." Yuan Quan said carefully: "Although he advocated the new policy, he was not responsible for it himself. Even if the emperor agreed to let him go to Chang'an to rule, could he still let him take all those people? If so, wouldn't the emperor be left with only one imperial throne?"
Mrs. Yuan disagreed. "Since he was in power and started a government office, he would of course take the officials. When he arrived in Chang'an, he could not only use the existing officials, but also recruit talents from Chang'an as officials. What a great opportunity. A Quan, think about those generals, which one is not powerful in the court and the government is full of talents?"
"But none of those generals had a good ending."
Mrs. Yuan choked for a moment, turned her head to look at Yuan Quan, and said, "You are too careful. Your family is not Dou Wu, He Jin. It would be nice if the emperor was not killed by him. Can he still kill him? When he arrived in Chang'an, he wanted to be Zhou Duke, Zhou Duke, Huo Guang, Huo Guang, Wang Mang, Wang Mang, who could stop him? It would be impossible. He could set fire to the palace like you, Ah Weng."
Yuan Quan covered his mouth and laughed, and said, "Since that's the case, can the emperor agree?"
"The emperor does not agree, that is the emperor's problem." Mrs. Yuan waved her hand calmly. "What's wrong with trying it? He has no loss anyway. A Quan, this article can still be done, and it's good to buy some people's hearts."
"That's true." Yuan Quan did not argue anymore. She was not optimistic about this plan, but she could not throw a basin of cold water on her aunt in front of her. She decided to discuss it with Sun Ce before talking. She turned to Yuan Yao and told Sun Ce about Sun Ce's arrangements. Yuan Yao was inexplicably happy when he heard that Sun Ce treated Yuan Yao and the children of the Sun family and promised to be the king in the future. She felt much more relieved. Although Sun Ce was fickle, he was still grateful.
"A Quan, I just feel sorry for you." Mrs. Yuan stroked Yuan Quan's hand and sighed deeply.
Yuan Quan was confused. "Auntie, where did you start?"
"Don't force your aunt to smile. Tell me, does he neglect you if he has a new concubine?"
Yuan Quan looked at Mrs. Yuan's film memorial, laughed "Puchi" and blushed on his face. "Auntie, do you think I feel like I'm wronged?"
Mrs. Yuan stared at Yuan Quan and looked at him again and again, and was a little confused. Yuan Quan was radiant, with picturesque eyebrows, delicate and rosy cheeks, and her eyes were even more vivid and energetic. She couldn't hide her happiness, just like a bride who had just become a kiss, and she looked a little wronged. Even if she knew the general and didn't want her to worry, she couldn't hide it so well.
"A Quan, what's going on?" Mrs. Yuan urged: "You said he was afraid of me just now. Is it something else?"
Only then did Yuan Quan realize that Mrs. Yuan had misunderstood, and couldn't help laughing secretly, and was a little lucky. Her aunt had never suffered grievances in her life, and she had always had a high vision. Now that she is old this year, her seniority is there, so she doesn't have to give anyone face. Huang Yueying and Feng Wan were wronged and dared not have a face in person, but Sun Ce was different. She was a fearless person. She was a little unhappy with Huang Yueying and Feng Wan being wronged, but she just gave her face, so she didn't say harsh words. If the aunt said anything else and provoked him, it would be a bit difficult to deal with.
Before they meet, they must reveal this meaning to their aunt, and they must not let her hit Sun Ce's head on the south wall.
Yuan Quan had made up his mind, so he told the story vividly about this period, which made Mrs. Yuan know that she was doing well now and not being wronged, and eliminated Mrs. Yuan’s misunderstanding, and quietly expressed Sun Ce’s love for Huang Yueying and Feng Wan. Huang Yueying was the Jin Buhuan in Sun Ce’s mind. Feng Wan gave birth to Sun Ce’s eldest daughter. Both of them were loved by Sun Ce and could not tolerate others’ neglect.
After all, Mrs. Yuan is a smart person. When she heard the names of Huang Yueying and Feng Wan, she guessed the whole story. She couldn't help but laugh and was even more unhappy. No matter how smart Yuan Quan was, he had married after all, and he was not confident. So what if Sun Ce loved these two concubines, he dared not be disrespectful to me? Not to mention him, his parents were respectful to me when they saw me and did not dare to be rude.
Do you think the Yuan family and the Yang family are decorations? Mrs. Yuan made up her mind to confront Sun Ce head-on and support Yuan Quan, and not lose the status of the Yuan family. She is accommodating Sun Ce with those women from small families and compromise.
Yuan Quan saw it and complained secretly. She couldn't tell Mrs. Yuan too clearly, so she had to find a way. When she arrived in the other courtyard, she got off the car and led Mrs. Yuan into the door. The yard was newly built, quieter and had a good view. Yuan Quan led Mrs. Yuan to walk inside and outside. Seeing that Mrs. Yuan was tired, she asked her to rest first, she pulled out herself, and hurriedly wrote a letter and sent someone to Xuanwu Lake.
Xuanwu Lake.
Sun Ce stood on the pavilion beside the water, watching Huang Yueying's busy command of the craftsman, with a smile on his lips.
Under his reminder, Huang Yueying calmed down and analyzed the existing sailing technology to find the rules. At present, there are only a few types of driving techniques for boats: pulling with a fiber rope, supporting with a bamboo pole, rowing with a paddle, rowing with a sail, and sails. The efficiency of fiber pulling is too low, and bamboo pole can only be used in shallow water. Sails are not manpower and are not considered. The main analysis is oars and oars.
Pads are the oldest sailing technology. They may have been used since the ship was available, but slals were unique to China for a long time. Pads were originally developed from rudders, and intermittent movements became continuous movements, with significantly improved efficiency. There is a saying that one oar and three oars were said to have propellers, and later it was born. However, slals could only be used behind the boat and could not be used on the side of the boat like a oar, and their driving effect on large ships was limited, so Huang Yueying did not think about this before.
Under Sun Ce's guidance, she temporarily separated her attention from the specific building ship, simply considering the reasons for the efficiency gap between oars and oars, which involves more abstract mechanics. She may not have noticed it herself, but Sun Ce knew that she had already taken a step forward without realizing it, and it would be a matter of time before she could find a more effective driving technology.
Lu Yi walked over quickly and handed a letter to Sun Ce. Sun Ce took it and saw it, and it was a little strange. Yuan Quan could not say anything directly, and it was so mysterious that he had to write a letter? When he opened it, he couldn't help but frowned slightly.
These old ministers are really naive. Xun You just reminded him, but they really thought it was feasible and he still wrote a memorial to the emperor. But this is good, and it will be more influenced by them. Let's see how the emperor deals with it.
Mrs. Yuan, this aunt of the Yuan family, and the old lady of the Yang family are even more innocent. She even wants to stand up for Yuan Quan, and she doesn’t want to see if Yuan Quan needs him to stand up. She really helps the more she helps. It’s not OK to not knock, but it’s not OK to knock too hard, which is a test of her level.
Sun Ce thought about it, turned around and picked up the pen on the desk, wrote a few words on the letter, sealed it again, and asked the person to take it back.
