Chapter 207 Hidden Thoughts

Lu Shaoyu glanced at the table, and he couldn't believe that the thing covered under Lu Shaoqing's book was actually a bright red acacia bean.

He hesitated slightly and said, "This is it."

Lu Shaoqing glanced at Lu Shaoyu and saw that his expression was normal, and he didn't seem to want to go anywhere else.

He collected his thoughts and pretended to be embarrassed and said: "I read some poems about red beans a few days ago. I was curious about what it looked like, so I asked someone to get one to have a look."

Lu Shaoyu looked at Lu Shaoqing's expression for a long time . , seeing that his expression had not changed, he undoubtedly said: "That's the case, why are you covering it with a book?"

Lu Shaoqing seemed to have done something wrong, and said in a small voice: "I'm afraid that my brother will say that I don't know the goods, and that I'm a bit of a plaything. "

Lu Shaoyu looked at him with a somewhat dissatisfied look, "Tell me! How much did you spend this time?"

Lu Shaoqing licked his lips, "Ten taels of silver."

Lu Shaoyu picked up the red beans on the table. After looking at the branches for a long time, I saw that the acacia beans were bright in color and well-preserved. I don’t know what method was used to use the leaves, but they were emerald green and shiny in my hands, as if they had just been picked from the tree.

This acacia branch does not look valuable, but the preservation technology is rare. There are probably very few people in the world who can achieve this level. From this, it seems that these ten taels of silver are not too much wasted.

"Where did you buy this acacia branch? This person's preservation skills are excellent."

Lu Shaoqing originally thought that his brother would scold him a few times, but unexpectedly, he instead asked where the acacia branch came from.

Naturally, he wouldn't tell him the truth. He just said this because he didn't want his brother to think too much, let alone let him know that he had other thoughts about Su Mingjue.

Thinking of the farewell to the city gate he saw before, Lu Shaoqing didn't want to reveal the hidden things in his heart. He just knew some things, and there was no need to tell his brother everything.

He laughed and said, "I don't know. I bought this thing from someone else. It must have been passed down several times before it got into my hands."

Lu Shaoyu looked at it for a moment and put the acacia branch back on the table. Go up, "It's getting late, go to bed early. I heard from Uncle Chu that you have been working very hard recently. Although the book is beautiful, you can't read it too much. You should also pay attention to rest when the time comes."

Lu Shaoqing nodded, "Yes."

Lu Shaoyu Seeing that he agreed, he walked out.

Seeing him say a few words, Lu Shaoqing let him go and said with a slight shock on his face: "Brother, don't you blame me for spending money indiscriminately?"

Lu Shaoyu waved his hand, "This money is well spent, and it is not a big mistake. "

Lu Shaoqing: "..."

After Lu Shaoyu left, Lu Shaoqing looked at the red beans in his hand with a smile on his face, "Twelve taels are worth a thousand gold in my eyes."

Amao stood aside, a little frightened. , "Master, did the eldest master just suspect something?"

Lu Shaoqing glanced at him, "Why are you panicking? Didn't he believe it just now? From now on, tighten the things in my house more tightly so that no one can find out. ."

After saying that, Lu Shaoqing held the acacia beans in his hand tightly, with deep thought in his eyes, I still need to work harder.

Yuyuan.

Lu Shaoyu allowed his clothes to be undressed and asked the boy beside him: "Has the second young master been acting strange lately?"

The boy lowered his head and responded: "Apart from the fact that the second young master likes reading a lot lately, there is nothing wrong with anything else."

Lu Shaoyu said Yu recalled the red bean branch before and felt something was wrong. Seeing that he was speaking more calmly than before, he sighed, "This kid has indeed grown up a lot."

...

The next day, early morning .

Su Mingjue, served by Su Xiaoliu, wore a black outfit.

This was the first time he wore such clothes. After Su Xiaoliu finished dressing him, he was full of praises, "Young Master looks so good in this dress."

Su Mingjue took a look in front of the bronze mirror. It was indeed good, and it hugged his waist. Tight, it looks much cooler, and it shoots arrows with great authority.

Satisfied, he walked to the table and ate his breakfast.

Yingying came in from the outside and reported: "Master, I have sent something to Jinyuan as you wished."

Knowing that Rong Zheng was busy, the two met again in the south, so Su Mingjue did not bother Rong Zheng anymore and sent her directly. People sent things over.

Su Mingjue nodded after hearing this, "Do you still like Rong Zheng?"

Huahua responded: "When the servant sent it over, it was received by the housekeeper, and Young Master Rong was not seen. His servant said that Young Master Rong has not been in Jinyuan for several days. ."

Su Mingjue secretly thought that he might be busy, but at the same time he lamented that the other party was too busy.

He couldn't talk about that for a while, so Su Mingjue didn't ask any more, "Just give it away."

After eating, he took the things and rode a carriage to go elsewhere.

The carriage stopped when it reached a place with a high-hanging plaque.

Su Mingjue straightened her clothes, got off the carriage and walked towards the gate.

When the boy at the door saw the person coming, he came up to him with a smile on his face, somewhat surprised, "Master Su, you are back. Are you here to see the young master?"

Su Mingjue nodded, "Is your young master here?"

The man was excited. He nodded and led the way, "Yes, the young master is in the mansion. Ever since I received Master Su's letter, my young master has been staying in the mansion and studying there day and night."

Su Mingjue heard this with a smile on his face, Meng Helan finally found what she wanted to do.

He came to Meng Mansion this time, firstly to deliver the things he brought from the south, and secondly because he wanted to see the "Tiger Wing Bow" he mentioned to him in his letter.

It's been a long time since I arrived at the Meng Mansion, and everything was as quiet as before. You could hear the sound of a pin dropping on the ground.

The boy led Su Mingjue through the hanging flower gate, and after passing through several corridors, finally arrived at the inner courtyard.

As soon as he stepped into the yard, he felt a strong wind passing by his ears, and then heard a "swish" sound, and an arrow flew out of nowhere and hit the bullseye directly in front of him.

A slightly excited voice came from inside, "Master, you hit the target! You hit the target! You hit the bullseye even when you shot from inside the house!"

The young man's voice was cold and cold: "What are you excited about? This is where you are, this crossbow. If you take it to the school field and try it, the penetrating power will be strong!"

He pulled the trigger on his hand and said with some dissatisfaction: "The range is there, but the operation is still not convenient enough. Li Ajue said it is automatic. The launch is still a bit late."

The young man tried to persuade him, "Master, you have been working on this for several days. It's time to take a rest."

Meng Helan shook his head, turned around and walked to the desk, "It's not enough. , If you don’t hurry up, Ah Jue will come back, and I have to design this crossbow before he comes back.”

After that, he went back to studying the crossbow in his hand, and after a while he picked up the pen and licked the ink. , draw a draft on paper.

When Su Mingjue walked in, he gestured "hush" to the boy waiting outside the mansion.

Those people had been around Meng Helan all year round. They were all human beings. They looked at Su Mingjue's movements and nodded silently without making a sound.

Su Mingjue walked in quietly, looked at his drawings, and said, "This drawing is pretty good!"

Meng Helan was immersed in the painting drawings. He heard the voice and continued without raising his head,

"I haven't finished the painting yet. I just tested it. I should add an ejection device to the string button, so that I can pull the trigger and directly Shoot the arrow out."

Su Mingjue saw that he was busy and did not disturb him. He reached out and picked up the crossbow next to the table and looked at it.

In front of a large square table, there are five or six crossbows of different sizes. The arcs have different degrees of curvature. It can be seen that different types of crossbows have been designed.

The crossbow next to him looked very explosive, and Su Mingjue couldn't help but pick it up and look at it carefully.

Meng Helan was halfway through the painting when he felt something was wrong. He stretched out his hand to touch the crossbow on the desk next to him. When he reached out and touched an empty space, he hurriedly raised his eyes to look at the table. Only when he looked did he find a pair of smiling eyes. He was looking at him with a crossbow in his hand.

His dry eyes instantly glowed, and the fatigue on his face was wiped away, and his face was filled with joy, "Ah Jue, when did you come?"
