Chapter 255: The Craftsman's Loyalty

    

am of. Don't get too complacent, there are plenty of women who are prettier than you inside, the young master isn't necessarily going to choose you." 。“Don’t touch her” Qin Luoyan’s eyes lit up upon...Qin Luoyan smiled and nodded, then asked the manager for some things. Then she called a few people in to help, and started messing around in the room.

Chen the blacksmith pulled Zhou Li aside and whispered, "Mr. Zhou, can this Princess really do it I've never met a woman who understands these things. Women are good at embroidery, but this..."

"Believe it or not, but in a short while, you won't be able to disbelieve it." Zhou Li was brimming with confidence, his expression filled with smugness. He seemed to take pride in knowing about the princess's prowess before Chen the blacksmith, as if it were a remarkable feat.

Chen the blacksmith was dubious, though deep down he still found it impossible. However, Mr. Zhou knew his stuff, saying that this side concubine's approach might just surprise people.

Several people were silently watching in the room. Just then, the princess directed a few people to build a platform in the house. Then, she placed iron wheels on both the platform and the ground, connecting them with iron chains in between. It didn't look complicated, but no one understood her purpose for doing this.

“Alright, it’s done.” Qin Luoyan wiped the sweat from her forehead and pointed to a handle under the iron frame, gesturing to Chen the blacksmith. “Come on, try it. See if you can still lift this hammer by yourself now.”

Chen the blacksmith pointed at his nose, seemingly uncertain. In a room full of people, his status was the lowest, yet this side consort showed him no disrespect whatsoever. Instead, she addressed him with respect, and just that courtesy had already successfully refreshed Chen the blacksmith's perception of her.

"Yes, it's you." Qin Luoyan smiled, her smile was radiant, sincere and bright.

Chen the blacksmith then rubbed his hands together and walked to under the iron frame. He pressed down on a wooden stick below, and as he did, the stick rose, driving those rotating wheels. One wheel turning drove the next iron wheel, and one after another, the iron wheels began to turn.

A clattering sound filled the room, and everyone watched as the wheels spun, creating a dizzying effect. Before they could react, the heavy iron hammer rose and fell, thudding solidly onto the metal sheet on the stone platform.

Ding!

A sharp crack echoed through the air, bringing everyone back to their senses.

"Done" Chen the blacksmith widened his eyes and blurted out in disbelief.

Mr. Zhou just kept smiling and patted him on the shoulder as he did so. Chen the blacksmith turned to look at him and gave him a thumbs up, “The side consort is truly amazing!”

"That's right, not to mention who the side consort is." Zhou Li had a sense of superiority and asked Qin Luo Yan again: "By the way, Side Consort, what method did you use Could you give me some pointers"

Qin Luoyan smiled faintly, “Actually, it’s not anything remarkable. It's a thousand-person invention that I borrowed and used. This is a combination of pulleys and levers, two combined can use a small force to complete something that requires a lot of force. If you’re interested, I can teach you later.”

Generally speaking, the more useful a technique is, the more a craftsman will treat it as a secret recipe. Zhou Li and Chen the blacksmith originally didn't expect to get all the technology of these pulleys and levers, they just wanted to understand them. But Qin Luo's words surprised them greatly.

"Side Princess, did I hear you correctly Are you saying you want to teach us Not just give us a few pointers" Chen the blacksmith was still stunned. No wonder he was surprised; in all these years, he had never met someone who didn't treat their craft as a secret recipe.

Qin Luoyan nodded affirmatively, "Yes, I will teach you."

Zhou Li and Chen Tiejiang looked at each other, the two burly men disregarded the worldly eyes and simultaneously knelt on one knee, bowing their heads and saying in a low voice, "Thank you, Concubine Xi for your teachings. From now on, we will be loyal to you with all our hearts."

They were only taught some basic skills, yet they claimed to be loyal and devoted. Qin Luoyan was taken aback, seemingly still confused. On the other hand, Mu Ge quickly pulled her sleeve.

"Please stand up, you two. You're being too serious. It was just a small gesture." Qin Luoyan came back to her senses and helped the two people up politely.

The more Qin Luoyan maintained this calm demeanor, the more the two of them felt that she was open-minded and extraordinary. They held her in even higher esteem out of genuine respect.

At that time, Qin Luoyan didn't know how the heartfelt help of these two artisans would change her fate at a critical moment.

Having solved the problem of speed at which the sledgehammer struck the thin sheet, the next issue became much simpler. Qin Luoyan rolled up her sleeves and, together with Zhou Li, researched the chains used to link the adhesive sheets. The chains also had to be made of fine and resilient metal, playing a crucial role in the entire whip. Therefore, the two spared no effort.

Engrossed in their activity, several people completely lost track of time, even hastily resolving their midday meal within the house.

Not until the afternoon did the two make some progress. At this time, someone arrived at Wuxuan王府 again. This time it was Jǐnmù. Jǐnmù found Mòhé who was helping in the courtyard. Mòhé was cleaning metal pieces and his whole body was covered in dirt. When Jǐnmù saw him like this, he couldn't help but tease: "It's really rare! The great steward Mò is doing this kind of work now. What happened Was the mistress mistreating you Should I go talk to the mistress for you The mistress has a good temper and is very easy to talk to..."

"Stop right there!" Mu He put down the metal block and quickly grabbed Jin Mu's arm, "Don't go talking nonsense. This is voluntary on my part. How could Madam mistreat me Madam is such a kind person, it's good enough that she isn't being mistreated by others."

"Voluntary" Kaneki feigned surprise, rubbing his ears. "Isn't Head Butler Murasaki the most afraid of getting dirty and tired For this kind of thing, you would still volunteer"

"Mu He rolled his eyes at him and sighed, "The more I interact with Madam, the more I admire her wisdom and character. It's useless to explain this to you, but in short, I'm happy to help! By the way, you're not supposed to be by the Prince's side right now, what brings you here"

"Of course I'm here to pick up the madam." Kimukki gave a foolish grin and walked into the house.

He walked quickly and didn't see the mutterings from Mu He at the riverbank, "Your wife won't follow you."

As expected, Jin Mu walked into the room and saw Qin Luo Yan rolling up her sleeves to hammer on an iron chain. He was taken aback. He had seen many women appear beside Fu Zi Mo before, each one a well-bred lady who paid meticulous attention to her appearance. None of them were as casual, natural, and unrestrained as his wife.

"Madam," Jin Mu walked over and called Qin Luoyan, waiting for her to turn her head before continuing, "The King is going to the Xiao residence for a banquet tonight. The King means to invite Madam to go with him."
