After the Rebirth of the Red Chamber

When Shi Nai was about to leave the Ministry of Industry, the attitude of the whole Ministry of Industry towards him had changed dramatically.

Because of the previous conflict between the Ministry of Households and the Ministry of Industry, although Shi Nai was personally invited by Qiao Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry to provide technical guidance, many officials of the Ministry of Industry still have prejudices against him.

Only Qin Bangye, the military secretary who once worked for the prince, treated him kindly and kept smoothing things over for him.

For this reason, Qin Bangye was overtly and secretly squeezed by his colleagues.

Shi Nai smiled at Qin Bangye, indicating that he didn't need to help him anymore, and he didn't care about those verbal squeezes at all.

Qin Bangye looked at him worriedly. Seeing him smiling confidently, he felt confident, so he felt relieved.

He still has some understanding of Shi Nai, knowing that Shi Nai is not the kind of person who exaggerates.

Facts have proved that Shi Nai really has the capital to make the Ministry of Industry admire him.

He not only solved the moisture-proof problem of the cannon, but also said that there is a way to improve the quality of the steel used to make the cannon and solve the problem of bombing the chamber.

"If this kind of steel is successfully refined, it can not only solve the problem of artillery bombing, but also solve many problems of hand guns."

Although Shi Nai didn't go into details, most of the Ministry of Industry is technical geeks, and there are even a group of fanatical artillery and handgun research enthusiasts in the Equipment Miscellaneous Manufacturing Bureau.

They have a thorough research on various existing metals, especially steel.

Even the system sighed: "Your human intelligence is really terrifying. What these people lack is knowledge. Their creativity is definitely not inferior to those who specialize in weapons research 800 years later."

Therefore, with just a few words, they quickly judged that the steel Shi Nai mentioned could be made. "

At this moment, He Langzhong, who was in the noisy bureau of equipment, completely forgot that he had eaten a turtle in the household department, looked at Shi Nai with bright eyes, and asked earnestly: "It's not just Mr. Shi, can you explain in detail?"

——If he can make a handgun that has a long range, is not afraid of tides, and can be scrapped without firing two shots, his life will be complete.

Shi Nai frowned slightly: "This matter is of great importance, and the saint's consent is needed."

He Langzhong immediately asked: "I don't know when Master Shi will ask the saint for instructions?"

That's a little aggressive.

Qiao Shangshu coughed, reminding him to restrain himself and not to offend others.

On the contrary, Shi Nai saw his enthusiasm and admired people like him from the bottom of his heart, so he didn't mind his rudeness, but explained in a pleasant manner: "The manufacture of weapons is a matter for the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Industry. Some opinions are fine. But this official is not easy to intervene in such a big matter."

Therefore, He Langzhong and the staff from the Equipment Miscellaneous Manufacturing Bureau looked at Qiao Shangshu eagerly.

It would be fine if all the people present were from the Ministry of Industry. Anyway, everyone is familiar with each other and knows what virtues each other has.But isn't there still an outsider, Shi Nai, present?Qiao Shangshu was a little embarrassed.

But embarrassment is embarrassment, what should be asked should still be asked, what should be said should still be said.

After all, if the most difficult material problem is really solved, their Ministry of Industry will be able to create more advanced firearms.The reduction of casualties of the frontline soldiers is one; the achievements of their household officials are two.

"Master Shi, if Qiao and Xi Shangshu of the Ministry of War ask the saint for instructions, I don't know if Master Shi would like to give some advice."

Shi Nai said seriously: "Naturally, it is incumbent."

Qiao Shang showed joy in writing, and bowed his hands deeply, "Thank you, Mr. Shi. In the past, I didn't know what to do, and I misunderstood Mr. Shi a lot. Mr. Shi not only did not blame, but also ignored the previous suspicions. He pointed out the maze for us. Really ashamed."

Everyone in the Ministry of Industry also quickly apologized to him, and Langzhong He also invited him to go to the Ministry of Industry in his spare time.

Shi Nai raised his eyebrows, and said half-jokingly and half-seriously: "It's okay to walk around, but Shi won't spend too much on the budget of the Ministry of Industry."

Everyone was startled and laughed.

Qiao Shangshu said: "Knowing that Mr. Shi is dedicated to the public, we will not make Mr. Shi difficult."

In short, the atmosphere among the crowd suddenly became more relaxed.

Qin Bangye stood among his colleagues, seeing that Shi Nai was like a fish in water, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

After bidding farewell to everyone in the Ministry of Industry who were reluctant to leave, it was almost time to go to the Yamen.Shi Nai went back to the household department and walked around again, seeing that everything was in order, he left the office and went home.

******

Shi Nai clearly felt that his wife was in a good mood, not just the bright kind.

While taking off his official hat and handing it to the maid, Shi Nai asked with great interest, "Did you pick up the gold ingot today or what? Why are you so happy?"

"Look at how promising you are." Yan Shi gave him an angry look, smiling brows and eyes, "This is much happier than picking up gold ingots."

"Oh? What the hell is it? My wife told me, it made me happy too."

While twisting a hot towel for him to wipe his face, Yan said with a smile: "The child I raised since childhood will also vent their anger on my behalf. Do you think I am happy?"

But it turned out that Xiangyun asked Tian Yu's family to go to the kitchen and brought a cup of warm chicken soup after learning that Jia's mother and Wang's lingering and embarrassing Yan.

Then, she held it by herself, and muttered with Su Jie for a while, the siblings pretended to be delivering chicken soup to Yan Shi, and came to the flower hall where Yan Shi entertained guests.

When Yan saw the two of them, she frowned slightly, secretly annoyed that Tian Yu's family had no sense of propriety, how could two children be allowed in at this time?

At this moment, Xiangyun and Sujie entered the door with smiles, shouting: "Auntie (mother), we are here to bring you soup."

When she got to Wang's side, Su Jie deliberately took a few steps forward, as if she couldn't wait to throw herself into her mother's arms and act like a spoiled child, "Mother, my son misses you."

"Ouch!"

Hearing Xiangyun's exclamation, he staggered, and the chicken soup in his hand was just right, and it happened to be all poured on Wang's skirt.

"Ah!" Wang stood up hurriedly, looking at the greasy skirt, her face turned red and then pale.

Xiangyun didn't know what happened yet, she tried her best to stabilize her figure, frowning and acting like a spoiled child to Yan Shi, "Auntie, look at brother!"

Sitting at the top, Yan could clearly see Wang's embarrassment.She suppressed a smile, lightly patted Su Jie on the head, and reprimanded: "I've been so frizzy all day, I can't even walk well. Quickly, apologize to your sister."

Su Jie stuck out her tongue quietly, turned around and said to Xiangyun: "Sister, I'm sorry, I was too impatient."

Then, he made a face at Xiangyun where Mrs. Wang could see it but Mrs. Yan and Mrs. Jia couldn't.

After Yan had finished training her son, she got up and said to Wang with an apologetic face, "Oh, cousin, this is really... You see, these two children are frizzy and not stable at all."

She turned her head and said to Xiangyun and Sujie with a stern face, "You two, why don't you come over here and apologize to your cousin?"

The two children obediently came to apologize.

Wang's face was livid, and she let the maid wipe the dirt off her body.She endured and endured, but she still couldn't help saying: "Sisters and sisters, the children should be taught well. This is our own family, so that's all. When we make trouble in front of outsiders in the future, it will be my cousin's face."

Yan's expression faded, and he said with a fake smile: "Thank you for my cousin's teaching. However, my family's children don't need to bother my cousin. My master and I will naturally teach them well."

All parents have the same heart.Crops are the good of others, and children are one's own relatives.If you say that your child is not good, if you don't criticize and praise secretly, then you are being humble.

Just listen to it, don't take it seriously.

If others dare to say that their child is not good, they will remember you for a long time even if they don't say anything publicly.

At this time, Yan Shi has this kind of mentality.

She was already annoyed by Mother Jia and Mrs. Wang, and Mrs. Wang came to mock her children for not teaching them well, how could she bear it?

"By the way," Yan said with a smile, "Sister-in-law should have some replacement clothes, right? Do you want someone to bring them in and find a room to change?"

Wang's cheeks twitched, and she said with anger: "No need."

Then, she said to Jia Mu: "Old lady, it's getting late, let's go back now."

Seeing that things have come to such an extent, today's goal must not be achieved, so Jia Mu could only force her smile and said to Yan Shi: "We will go back first, you and Nai'er are free, go and see my old lady more. .”

"Don't worry, aunt, we'll go when the master is free." Yan Shi deserved to be extremely happy.

As for when it will be free, who knows?

After Jia Mu and Wang Shi left, Yan Shi let out a "pop" and smiled with her lips covered.

Xiangyun and Su Jie looked at each other, siblings, you push me, I push you, smiling like two little foxes who have stolen a chicken.

"Cough." Yan coughed heavily, and said to the two with a sullen face, "Be honest, you two, whose idea is it?"

"what?"

"what?"

They didn't expect that Yan Shi could see through their plot at a glance, and almost at the same time, his face collapsed, and he struggled to admit his mistake in despondency.

"Auntie, I came up with the idea."

"Mom, it was my idea."

"Okay." Yan couldn't help laughing, and twisted his face, "I don't blame you."

"Hee hee." The two smiled flatteringly again.

Yan said again: "However, this kind of thing is not an example."

——The two of them are clever, and even those who are a little more careful can see through.People's words are like knives, and rumors are like tigers.She didn't want her two children to be ruined by rumors because of their cleverness.

"Yes, auntie."

"Yes, mother."

The siblings agreed respectfully.

Only then did Yan's expression soften, and he said lovingly: "You two have also been studying for a long time, and I will let the stove use high soup for you to eat."

Xiangyun said: "I want to add a lot of sour bamboo shoots."

"it is good."

Su Jie also said: "I want to put chili oil."

"Let it go."

Yan Shi also didn't understand, she and Shi Nai didn't like spicy food, how did she give birth to a son who ate all kinds of spicy food, and couldn't live without it.
