The little ancestor of the family

"Of course there are others. I have all the drawings with me."

Lu Changqing didn't realize what Ye Xinran was angry about.

"I think you're a little obsessed now. I brought you out this time so that you can appreciate the mountains and rivers of Daliang and learn more about the local customs and practices."

Ye Xinran reminded him.

Although it is a good thing that her brother likes to study, she still hopes that his horizons can be broader.

"I am admiring it!" Lu Changqing said, "I was just talking with the prince about the local customs and practices on the road. Now that he has fallen asleep, I switched places with my brother-in-law and came to ask my sister if my necklace is made correctly."

Ye Xinran looked at the chain he made, then picked up his drawing and looked at it. All the important details had been marked out, and it was almost the same as the photo she had given him before.

"Here, we need to add a part here. Look, add a gear here so that it can rotate faster."

Even though she was blaming him, seeing how serious her brother was, Ye Xinran couldn't help but carefully point out the problems for him.

"Yep!"

Lu Changqing was very excited, "I said that something was wrong here, it turns out there is something missing.

Sister, it has to be you!"

"You're so serious, how can I not help you?" Ye Xinran smiled somewhat dotingly.

"By the way, didn't Chang'an ask you to be the head of the Ministry of Revenue? Why have you been refusing to agree?"

Ye Xinran was still not used to calling Chang'an the Emperor, as she always felt that there seemed to be too much distance between them.

"That!" Lu Changqing said, "You know, I am used to being free and unrestrained, and I don't like being bound all the time.

Besides, there are too many things to be in charge of, and I don't have that much energy. It's better to be a minister as it is now. I can concentrate on studying some new objects and leave when I want."

"It's true!"

Ye Xinran actually agreed with this.

They don't need to worry about their lives now, so they have higher demands for freedom.

But she didn't expect that Lu Changqing had changed from a young man who was determined to become the top scholar in the imperial examination to someone who only wanted to do research.

"Sister, if I develop this bicycle, can it be faster than riding a horse?"

Ye Xinran thought for a moment and said, "That may not work."

Chang Qing was a little disappointed, "Oh, I thought it would be quick."

Ye Xinran said: "Although it is not as fast as riding a horse, think about it, this thing does not eat grass or food, and has no temper and can be manipulated at will, it actually still has its advantages.

However, there is no way to mass produce it now because the cost is high. It’s OK to make a few for fun, but I’m afraid it’s not feasible to promote it on a large scale.”

"That's all later."

Chang Qing was more optimistic about this. "No matter what, let's just do it first."

"By the way, I heard you and the prince talking about flying things that day. What were you researching?" Ye Xinran suddenly thought of something else.

"That's what the prince said, there's no point in just studying things that run on the ground, he wants to fly up to the sky like a bird and take a look.

I told him that my sister might have a solution and I would ask for him later."

Ye Xinran smiled, "You dare to think that flying in the sky is not that simple."

"That's what I told him, but I found that the prince was quite persistent about it. I guess he really wants to try it."

"Just give it a try. I'll find some pictures to show you later."

"Thank you, sister."

Lu Changqing was very excited.

His feelings towards Ye Xinran have now evolved from closeness to admiration. No matter what Ye Xinran says or does, he admires her from the bottom of his heart.

Sometimes he thought about it and couldn't believe how such a capable person like Ye Xinran could become his sister!

They stopped and walked along the way, saw the beautiful scenery along the road and tasted the delicious food along the way.

The further north you go, the drier the weather and the less populated the area.

By the time we got to northern Xinjiang, there was no question of good food, let alone a suitable place to live.

That day, they walked for dozens of miles without seeing any villages or towns, and the horses were so tired that they could hardly move.

"I see there is a cliff ahead, why don't we rest there?"

Ye Xinran suggested.

Xiao Huaian stared at the map and frowned, "There may be a village or town ten miles ahead, why don't we walk another ten miles and take a look."

Ye Xinran looked at the sky and said, "If we walk another ten miles, it will be too dark to be safe. Although the conditions here are a bit simple, we can stop and set up camp now, and rest when it gets dark."

Xiao Huaian looked around and was still a little dissatisfied.

Before coming out this time, he once said that he would no longer let Ye Xinran suffer.

If you don't want to suffer, how can you live in the open air?

But Ye Xinran didn't care about it.

"These two children have been raised in the mansion since they were young. They have never suffered any hardship. Isn't it a good opportunity for them to experience it today?"

Xiao Huaian disagreed, "There are many ways for them to feel it. If they really want to feel it, we can let them stay in the yard after we move into the inn."

Ye Xinran didn't want to waste words with him, but in order to reassure Xiao Huaian, she took out four tents from the space, "Don't worry, we have these, we will set up the tents later, and we will live in the tents tonight."

"Can people live in this?"

Looking at the structure of the tent, Xiao Huaian really couldn't figure out how people would live in it.

"Of course, this tent can accommodate two people!"

After saying that, Ye Xinran directed several people to set up the tent.

Xiao Huaian is already very accustomed to Ye Xinran's special ability, but Lu Changqing and Chen Yan are still in the dark.

"Is this thing brought from the capital? Why didn't I see it on the carriage before?"

"That's right. I haven't seen it either."

"You two are too arrogant. As long as you are well fed, your family will not be hungry. Do you still have time to pay attention to these things? Hurry up and work, and stop talking about these nonsense!"

Xiao Huaian's words disrupted the two people's random guesses and arranged for them to work.

Soon, all four tents were set up.

Xiao Huaian and Ye Xinran occupied one room, Chang Qing and Chen Yan occupied one room, and the other two were occupied by the coachman and Ding Qiao and others.

Everyone found the tent novel and liked it very much.

Chang Qing, in particular, immediately began to study the structure of the tent.

Ye Xinran didn't care and started thinking about what to eat in the evening.

In order to prepare for emergencies, they had some dry food in the car.

But thinking that since they were living in the wild, they might as well treat it as a camping trip, Ye Xinran took out the barbecue and beef from the space.

"It's a nice night and the weather is warm tonight. Let's make a fire here and have a barbecue tonight."
