Chapter 311 Lin Qing, skilled in craftsmanship and production
On the Mid-Autumn Festival, which was a day off, Ye Wuwei and Qi Wushuang quietly left the palace.
They wanted to see how the government-run porridge stalls operated and whether they actually served meat porridge.
In order to avoid being recognized, Qi Wushuang wore a mask.
This mask was obtained by Ye Wuwei from Ye Hongxia. It was made by Ye Changtian and is almost indistinguishable from the real thing.
The two walked on the streets of Chamdo, watching the people coming and going.
Ye Wuwei nudged Qi Wushuang:
"Do you think that Changdu now looks a bit like Andu?
People are living less cautiously and are more relaxed and at ease."
"Ah."
"If one day everyone can smile happily, it means you are a good emperor."
"Isn't it your credit?"
"That depends on you being willing to listen to us."
As they were talking, the two stopped at a tea stall opposite a porridge stall and ordered a pot of tea.
Ye Wuwei drank a cup of tea as usual, and only after making sure that it was not poisonous did he use the cup he had drunk from to pour tea for Qi Wushuang.
"I told you I don't need you to test the poison for me."
"That way I can rest assured."
The two chatted while observing the porridge stall.
The people lined up in an orderly manner to receive porridge, and the people distributing porridge at the porridge stall were also very nice. They did not scold the people or show any impatience.
"Yu Shen does a good job."
The task of distributing porridge was handed over to the Ministry of Revenue. Although Qi Yushen was not necessarily in charge of this matter personally, he certainly attached great importance to it, otherwise it would not have been so well done.
"You always remember to say good things about him."
"I'll tell you the truth."
"Qi Yushen is already married."
Ye Wuwei laughed: "I just praised him a few times, is it worth it for you to make such a fuss?"
Qi Wushuang didn't say anything.
He really cared about Qi Yushen.
Among the men he knew, the only ones who Qi Wushuang felt had good looks, good character, and abilities were Ye Wuwei and Qi Yushen.
Like Chu Fuchi, although he has a pair of beautiful peach blossom eyes, he seems a little frivolous in Qi Wushuang's eyes, because those peach blossom eyes are full of affection when looking at people.
What Ye Wuwei dislikes most is frivolous people, so Qi Wushuang has never regarded Chu Fuchi as an opponent.
Chen Shusheng is a very good person, and Ye Wuwei admires him the most, but his appearance can only be described as decent. Knowing that Ye Wuwei likes people with good looks, Qi Wushuang is relieved about Chen Shusheng.
But Qi Yushen is different.
Qi Yushen has handsome and three-dimensional facial features; his temperament is noble and extraordinary; his personality is calm and introverted. He is excellent no matter how you look at him.
Moreover, Ye Wuwei and Qi Yushen's friendship started earlier than Ye Wuwei and him, so how could Qi Wushuang not be on guard?
At this time, a woman came over and sat down next to Ye Wuwei.
Which woman is so bold?
Qi Wushuang and Ye Wuwei both looked at the woman.
The woman looked to be in her thirties, with a square face, thick eyebrows, round almond eyes, and a small upturned nose. She looked very heroic and it was difficult to tell whether she was a man or a woman.
Ye Wuwei’s first reaction was: actress Lin who had played the role of Dongfang Bubai.
The woman in front of him looked so much like the actress Lin, whose beauty Mr. Cha had praised, that Ye Wuwei began to wonder if actress Lin had also traveled to the Qi Dynasty.
Seeing Ye Wuwei looking at her with unfamiliar eyes, the woman smiled and said, "Don't you recognize me?"
Hearing this voice, Ye Wuwei exclaimed in surprise: "It's you?"
"it's me."
"When did you come to Chamdo?"
"I've been here for a while. I was planning to visit you at Qi'an Headquarters these two days, but I didn't expect to meet you here today, so I came over to say hello."
Qi Wushuang's alarm sounded: "Wuwei, who is she?"
"She is the person I rescued when I was rescuing Master in the Luo Family's forbidden area."
At that time, the woman was covered in dirt, and Ye Wuwei couldn't see her appearance clearly. He didn't expect her to be so beautiful!
Qi Wushuang looked at the woman with even more vigilance.
Ye Wuwei turned his head and looked at the woman, "What do you want from me?"
"Let me formally introduce myself. My name is Lin Qing, and I'm good at craftsmanship and production.
I can carve a three-inch piece of wood into a bearing that can carry 600 kilograms in an instant, and I can also make large and small boats.
The Yuwen clan's five-story ship was built by my master and me."
"So Robbie captured you because of your skills?"
"That's right.
After my master died, I escaped because I no longer wanted to be controlled by the Yuwen clan. I didn't expect that Luo Buyi would discover my abilities and capture me.
"So you're looking for me now to serve the court?"
“Yes, I don’t want my abilities to be buried.
I came to Chamdo to inquire about your character and learned that you had rescued 30,000 people from the Shanghai Island, so I decided to join you."
Ye Wuwei was thinking about improving Qi Chao's shipbuilding technology, but he didn't expect someone to come to him.
"Why don't we find a place to talk in detail?"
"Okay, I'll show you the blueprint of a large ship I recently drew."
Ye Wuwei looked at Qi Wushuang, and Qi Wushuang said, "I'll go with you."
Ye Wuwei thought for a moment and said, "Miss Lin, why don't you go to my house?"
"Row."
The three of them walked towards Ye Mansion.
Hearing that Ye Wuwei had arrived, Xiao He hurried out to greet him: "Brother Ye."
Lin Qing jokingly asked, "Your concubine?"
Xiao He glanced at Qi Wushuang beside Ye Wuwei and said quickly, "I am the housekeeper of the Ye Mansion."
Although Qi Wushuang was wearing a mask, his aura of keeping strangers away was so unique that Xiao He recognized him at a glance.
However, Qi Wushuang was wearing a mask, so Xiao He did not reveal his identity.
"Xiao He, this is Miss Lin. We have something to discuss. Please bring up some snacks and tea."
Seeing Ye Wuwei specifically introduce Miss Lin, Xiao He knew that this person would be a regular customer in the future, so she bowed and greeted: "Miss Lin."
Lin Qing waved his hand: "You're welcome."
After Xiao He went down, Ye Wuwei led everyone to the study.
After arriving at Ye Wuwei's study, Qi Wushuang took off his mask.
Lin Qing was not surprised at all to see Qi Wushuang wearing a mask. He just asked, "Can I see this mask?"
Qi Wushuang ignored Lin Qing.
Ye Wuwei smiled, picked up the mask and handed it to Lin Qing.
Lin Qing relaxed his whole body when facing Qi Wushuang, and was not oppressed at all by Qi Wushuang's intimidating aura.
But this is normal.
Lin Qing was locked up in the basement room of the Luo Mansion's forbidden area for eight years and was still able to maintain clear thinking and stable emotions, which is indeed something that ordinary people cannot achieve.
His mental strength and willpower are even stronger than Ye Wuwei's!
Lin Qing looked at the mask carefully:
“The craftsmanship of the person who made this mask is quite good, but the reason why this mask is so exquisite is not because of the craftsmanship, but the material.
This is the first time I have seen such a material, and I don’t know what it is made of?
It seems I've fallen behind after being locked up for eight years."
"Miss Lin, there's no need to be modest. This mask was made by a remarkable senior. Only he could create such an exquisite mask."
“I can also make such an exquisite mask.
But my advantage lies in my craftsmanship, as I can tailor it to each person's face shape, but the material is not as flattering as this mask."
"In that case, Miss Lin, why don't you make a few masks for us?"
Lin Qing looked at Ye Wuwei and Qi Wushuang and said, "Okay, but I'm short of money."
"Silver is easy to talk about, but why don't you show me the blueprint of the big ship you drew, Miss Lin?"
Lin Qing took out a roll from his body and pulled out a stack of papers from it.
Lin Qing spread out the paper, "This is the ship I drew."
Ye Wuwei took a closer look and blurted out: "Sea Falcon Ship".
