Xie Yiyao disassembled a simulated locomotive model in her hand and looked at Liu Hong.

Liu Hong immediately picked up the parts and started putting them together quickly and accurately, and soon he had put the model train together!

Xie Yiyao showed a satisfied look on her face, although she knew that assembling models could definitely not be compared to building a train.

But it was already very good that Liu Hong could achieve this in a short period of time. At least he was the only one among the people she interviewed today who she thought had the possibility to build a train according to the drawings she provided.

"Okay, go back now! Report to the Royal Academy in three days, and I'll arrange a single room for you!"

Xie Yiyao felt a sense of appreciation for talent and made a sincere promise.

Liu Hong felt a surge of ecstasy in his heart, and he said excitedly:

"Thank you, Queen! Thank you, Queen!"

After he finished speaking, he turned and left, with a hint of urgency in his steps.

Liu Hong walked quickly towards home. He turned left and right and came to a dilapidated house in the old city. A lady with a sad face was embroidering a handkerchief in her hand seriously.

Next to her was a one-year-old child sitting in a rocking chair on the floor, babbling.

"Moon Lady! I'm selected!"

As soon as Liu Hong entered the yard, he shouted to the woman with excitement on his face, then skillfully picked up the child in the cradle and touched the child's nose with his own.

The little baby obviously recognized his father. He smiled happily and touched Liu Hong's face with his little hands.

After hearing what Liu Hong said, Yue Niang's expression became even more miserable:

"My husband, it's all because of me. I can't earn money and I got sick, which wasted the family's money. I forced you to give up the imperial examination and become a craftsman. If my parents-in-law knew about this, they would definitely be angry at my uselessness."

As Yue Niang spoke, she couldn't help but cover her face and cry.

Ever since she gave birth to her son, she has been in poor health, and the medicine she has been using up has almost used up the family savings. Seeing that the family could no longer make ends meet, her husband had to suspend his studies and work odd jobs to supplement the family income.

"Mother Yue, this is not your fault. No one wants to be sick. Besides, the reason you got sick is because you gave birth to a child for our Liu family. In the end, I am sorry for you."

After hearing what Liu Hong said, Yue Niang's tears flowed even more violently:

"But the Royal Academy of Sciences sounds good, but in the end it's just a craftsman's job. When my father-in-law was alive, he always wanted you to pass the imperial examination and become an official. I'm too embarrassed to go down and see him."

"Yue Niang, don't look at the future with the old perspective. I have a feeling that we are entering a new era. The status of craftsmen will become higher and higher. Besides, the Queen said that the Academy of Sciences trains scientists who are one in a million, not craftsmen. In the future, these scientists will be the key talents to promote national progress!"

“What is a scientist?”

Yue Niang looked at Liu Hong in confusion, and it was obvious that she was not comforted at all by Liu Hong's words.

"Scientists are the ones who can be promoted to high positions and become noble ladies in the future!"

After Liu Hong finished speaking, he looked firmly in the direction of the Royal Academy of Sciences. Times have changed and even if he doesn't take part in the imperial examination, he will definitely be able to bring honor to his family!

The recruitment for the Royal Academy of Sciences is still ongoing, and Xie Yiyao is still busy interviewing candidates.

A young man on a bicycle came at lightning speed. Xie Yiyao looked up and the corners of her mouth twitched. She was full of admiration for the imagination of the ancients!

In order to cater to the ostentatious style of the rich, the vehicle manufacturer actually plated the bicycle with a layer of gold! The handlebars and tires were inlaid with gems. It was really... magnificent!

Especially the bells on the bicycles are so fancy!

The young man in the car was dressed extremely luxuriously, with a big gold chain around his neck and big gold rings on all ten fingers.

He saw Xie Yiyao waving at her excitedly, shaking the gold, silver and jade ornaments on his body intentionally or unintentionally!

When Xie Yiyao saw him greeting her, she quickly lowered her head and pretended that she didn't know him!

She really can't afford to lose this person!

When Zhang Qianfan saw that Xie Yiyao didn't recognize him, his expression became even happier. It must be because he had become too handsome during this period of time, and the Queen didn't recognize him for a moment!

He doesn't blame her!

I can only blame myself for my increasingly handsome face!

"Empress! I am Zhang Qianfan! The son of Zhang Zhongdan!"

After Zhang Qianfan finished speaking, he made a move that he thought was both rich and handsome, and looked at Xie Yiyao with anticipation!

"Uh~, so he is the son of Yanjing City Mayor Zhang Zhongdan! I am so sorry for my disrespect!"

Xie Yiyao said to Zhang Qianfan with a strange look on her face.

She pinched her thigh hard to stop herself from laughing. How did that coward Zhang Zhongdan come up with such a show-off son?

"My Queen, I'm here to sign up!"

Zhang Qianfan spoke with a heroic look on his face, as if he had made a huge decision!

"Uh, does your dad agree?"

Xie Yiyao really didn't expect that Zhang Qianfan came here to sign up. After all, the Zhang family has some reputation in Yanjing City. Is Zhang Zhongdan willing to let his son be a craftsman?

Although she knew that she was training scientists, people here believed that the Royal Academy of Sciences was a place to train craftsmen!

"My father wouldn't be unwilling. He always says that it's the right thing to follow you!"

Zhang Qianfan said carelessly, smiling brightly. Xie Yiyao quickly looked at Zhang Qianfan's big teeth. Well, there were no gold teeth!

fine! fine!

"The Queen? The Queen?"

Zhang Qianfan waved his hand in front of Xie Yiyao, bringing her back to her senses.

"You haven't answered me yet, can I sign up?"

Xie Yiyao felt a little embarrassed and quickly sat up straight to get down to work.

"Can you read?"

"Aren't you talking nonsense?

"5 times five equals you?"

"twenty five!"

"What do you think are the differences between these two paintings?"

Xie Yiyao handed the two scrolls of study paintings in her hand to Zhang Qianfan.

"One of the inkstones here has a pen and the other does not, the pens in the pen holder are different, the shoes of the scholar reading are different, there is an extra stool here, and the patterns on the porcelain vases are different..."

As soon as Zhang Qianfan saw the painting, he started talking with saliva flying everywhere, without any pause.

Xie Yiyao gradually put away her carelessness and became serious. She asked the system mall to make these two paintings for her. Even the details that she didn't notice at first glance were pointed out by Zhang Qianfan one by one.

His observation and concentration are really good!

Xie Yiyao looked at Zhang Qianfan as if he was looking at a rare treasure. She had no idea that this naughty kid had such a talent. He was simply born for scientific research!

Xie Yiyao immediately had a filter for Zhang Qianfan's exaggeration. Throughout history, people with great talents always behave differently from ordinary people!

She understands!

When Zhang Qianfan saw Xie Yiyao looking at him with admiration, his expression of pride became even stronger:

"How is it? I'm awesome, right? Let me tell you this..."

Just when Zhang Qianfan was bragging about himself, suddenly a man came running over, twisted Zhang Qianfan's ear and dragged him away!

"Rebellious son! Who are you calling me master here? I will beat you to death!"

"Master Zhang, don't forget that your young master Zhang will report to the Royal Academy of Sciences in three days. Don't be too harsh!"

Looking at Zhang Zhongdan and Zhang Qianfan who had already walked away, Xie Yiyao had no choice but to shout at the top of her lungs.

After hearing Xie Yiyao's shouting, Zhang Zhongdan beat her even more fiercely!

Xie Yiyao shook her head helplessly, it was really a case of father barking at son!
