Film and TV: Starting from the Night Watchman of Dafeng

Chapter 31 It's rare that Huaiqing will also indulge in pleasure

The setting sun is like fire, with rays of light shining brightly.

"Okay, it's hooked!"

"Slow down, slow down!"

"What do you think, senior brother?"

"Call Brother down first!"

"... "

Several disciples of the Sitianjian used a bamboo pole with an iron hook on the top to hook the bottom of the hanging basket, and worked together to pull the large Qi Tian lantern to the ground.

As for Wei An's professionalism in personally testing the large-sized Qi Tian Lantern, these people, both in their hearts and in words, have already regarded him as a like-minded person.

"how?"

Huaiqing looked at Wei An, who refused the guards' help and jumped out of the hanging basket by himself.

"This height is nothing." Wei An shook his head.

The technical staff of the Sitianjian were busy for a long time and carefully made two large Qi Tian lanterns.

The first one, according to Huaiqing’s original drawing, was wobbly and had difficulty floating.

The second one, after being improved, could only fly to the third or fourth floor of the observatory.

"Is the Qi Tian Lantern too heavy? Or is the buoyancy insufficient?" Huaiqing frowned and thought.

“Once you’ve posed a question, you can always get the answer by doing a few more sets of experiments and comparisons.”

Huaiqing nodded in agreement, then thought of something else and said, "Is this what Master Wei meant by 'knowledge is sought through action'?"

Wei An was stunned for a moment, then smiled and nodded.

The prince's way of addressing him was always "Master Wei" at the beginning, but now it changes with the context.

"We've been busy for half a day. Can I have someone serve some food?" After Huaiqing finished speaking, the guard beside him looked over.

This guard... must be a woman in disguise.

Wei An was about to speak when a gust of evening wind suddenly blew, making many people shiver.

"It's even colder this year."

"Yes, fortunately I bought some charcoal in advance. I heard the price has gone up again the other day. I'm afraid charcoal sellers will make a lot of money this year."

"What do I earn? It's hard-earned money. I can't bear to burn it at home, so I take it all to the city to exchange for money to make a living."

"... "

Not all the people in the Imperial Astronomical Observatory were like Song Qing, who buried themselves in research all day long. Some of them were older and not native to the capital, and after gradually settling down in the capital, they also experienced the oppression of life.

The guards put the bridal veil on her in time.

The eldest princess' eyes dimmed slightly, and she turned her head and whispered something to the guard. She turned back to look at Wei An with a questioning look.

Wei An put on a faint smile and bowed, saying, "Your Highness, thank you for your expense."

...

this day
In the palace
A group of princes and princesses, all wearing cloaks made of fine fur, held hand warmers.

Although Emperor Yuan Jing no longer favored his concubines after he became a Taoist, he had worked hard before he became a Taoist.

He had twelve princes and four princesses.

"What has Huaiqing been busy with these days? He just paid his respects to his father and then hurried out of the palace." said an older prince.

"He's been involved with that Wei An. A few days ago he said he was developing some large Qi Tian lantern, and these days he's been fiddling with coal," the man replied with a hint of joking in his voice.

One of the princes couldn't help but frown upon hearing this.

"Third brother, Wei An is the most talented young man in Yunlu Academy. The great scholars in the academy also call him 'Master Wei'. Why are you being disrespectful?" someone said dissatisfiedly.

"What Master Wei? The academy is deceiving itself and has also deceived you, a little fool! But you are right about one thing. This boy is indeed young, just over fifteen, and he is not bad looking, hehe."

"It's rare that Huaiqing would also be so obsessed with things that he would lose his ambition."

"Haha~"

"... "

There is something hidden in his words, full of innuendo.

Someone frowned even deeper.

...

Haoqi Building

After practicing boxing and washing up, Wei An prepared to go to Taikang County.

"Are we going to Taikang Royal Manor again?"

Suddenly, a voice came first, and then Nangong Qianrou's figure appeared at the gate of the courtyard.

Just by looking at the man's gloomy face, Wei An could guess something and said with a smile, "Nangong Jinluo, I haven't seen you for a while. You seem to be in a bad mood."

"Running around day and night is no match for someone who is lucky enough to spend the whole day accompanying the princess on a tour of the mountains and rivers." Nangong Qianrou said.

"Very jealous." Wei An laughed and said, "How can I travel around all day? I'm obviously working every day to benefit the country and the people. Nangong Jinluo knows it."

How could the night watchman underestimate the safety of the eldest princess?

Being with the eldest princess every day, he was naturally monitored by the night watchmen. Nangong Qianrou's expression softened a bit, "Alright, I'll let you know, the Zhou family is going to be gone."

"Zhou family? Zhou Xianping?" Wei An asked to confirm, then asked puzzledly, "Why did you inform me?"

"Zhou Xianping is also a member of Wang's party. Some time ago, he planned to frame you at the court meeting. He is also a member of Wang's party." Nangong Qianrou said coldly.

What about...

Wei An felt somewhat guilty and asked tentatively, "Did Nangong Jinluo come to tell me specifically to let me vent my anger?"

Nangong Qianrou's face stiffened. She didn't respond and brought up another topic, "We also discovered traces of the Wushen Cult a few days ago. You should be more careful."

After that, he turned and left.

Wei An watched him walk for a while, a smile appearing on the corner of his mouth.

This is also a person who looks cold but has a warm heart.

...

Taikang County, Huangzhuang Dahuangzhuang

A large courtyard

The yard is an ordinary farmyard, but it is larger.

Several puffs of smoke rose up.

"Quick! Destroy the character Jia!"

"The smoke from the letter 'Y' is huge! It's out, it's out!"

"The smoke from the C-shaped one is okay, but the firepower is a little weak."

"... "

The sound was a little chaotic, but orderly.

The entire comparative test was conducted by a middle-aged man from the Imperial Astronomical Bureau.

He was also around thirty years old, with hatred and bitterness between his brows, and his facial features were somewhat similar to Mu Qing's.

It was Mu Qing’s younger brother Mu Feng.

This person was also one of the three male warlocks of the sixth rank selected by Song Qing that day.

Honeycomb briquettes!
An opportunity to be promoted to the sixth rank!
It doesn’t matter who you give it to, it’s better to give it to someone you know well.

A clear light suddenly lit up, and Wei An's figure slowly appeared.

"Master Wei!" Mu Feng came forward excitedly.

Compared with the large Qi Tian lantern, the experimental comparison of honeycomb coal is much easier.

There was one group yesterday, and this group is in progress today. I think with another group, the optimal ratio of coal, loess and sawdust will be determined.

"Do you see hope?" Wei An asked with a smile.

His words were ambiguous, and Mu Feng's face felt a little unnatural. He immediately took a half step back and bowed deeply to Wei An respectfully, "Thank you, Master Wei, for giving me this opportunity."

"No need to do that. Just put your heart into it. You should know that the better you make honeycomb coal, the easier it will be for you to get promoted." Wei An accepted the gift calmly and reached out to help him up.

Mu Feng's simple face suddenly became serious. "Master Wei's teachings, I will remember them and will definitely get the best value for money."

"The price-performance ratio is good, and he learns quickly." Wei An said with a smile.

He left the small courtyard and walked a little to the east. He came across a courtyard that stood out among the other farmyards.

Unlike the past few days, there were no armored guards in front of the courtyard gate.

When he entered the courtyard, several temporarily hired farm women were sweeping the floor.

"Sir, the eldest princess has returned to the palace."

A lady who knew him said immediately.

"it is good."

Wei An stood in the courtyard, looked around, and then walked out.

The test and comparison of honeycomb coal lasted until the afternoon. At the same time, the production of honeycomb coal with a new ratio was carried out to prepare raw materials for the comparative experiment the next day.

Wei An sometimes went on inspections, sometimes sorted out his insights into psychology, and sometimes wrote something else.

Without the eldest princess to accompany him, he was busy until his sunset.

He originally wanted to go back to the night watchman's office directly, but the village head was so enthusiastic that he insisted on keeping him for one night.

Whether it is the original body or him, they actually have no sense of belonging to this world, so they just go with the flow.

The autumn and winter nights in the countryside are so quiet!

"call!"

He blew out the candle and slowly closed his eyes. Without the crackling sound of the candle, he quickly fell asleep...

"Wei An."

Suddenly, a whispered call seemed to ring in his ears.

"Wei An."

Called again.
