Chapter 1381 Green Tea Lady!
Hearing such vicious words from his daughter again, Gu Sansi, who was already shaking with anger, said loudly and angrily:
"Lock that beast up! Lock her up! Don't give her anything to eat or drink!"
As Gu Sansi gave the order, the butler Gu He immediately rushed in with several servants and suppressed the stubborn Gu Qianqian.
Chen Wanting also helped the exhausted Gu Sansi back to the room where they lived. After returning to the room, Chen Wanting first secretly gave a look to the maid beside her. This maid had also followed Chen Wanting for some time, so even with just a look, she understood Chen Wanting's thoughts, and then nodded at Chen Wanting and walked out of the room.
After the maid left the room, Chen Wanting helped Gu Sansi onto the bed. Seeing that Gu Sansi looked pale, she asked with some concern:
"Master, are you feeling okay? Do you want me to go to the medical school and call the doctor?"
Gu Sansi didn't say anything when he heard this, he just waved his hand, his expression was very sad and complicated, obviously he hadn't recovered from the scene just now
Seeing this, Chen Wanting didn't say anything. At this moment, the maid who had just walked out of the room brought Gu Sansi's youngest son Gu Yuanqing over.
Gu Yuanqing, who was still in swaddling clothes at this time, did not notice the solemn atmosphere in the room. When he saw his father and mother, he immediately laughed out loud.
“Chuckle, chuckle…Chuckle, chuckle…”
Gu Sansi was immediately attracted by his son's laughter. Seeing Gu Sansi looking at the child, the maid immediately handed the child to Gu Sansi.
Looking at the innocent smile of his youngest son in his arms, and thinking of the vicious words just now spoken by his eldest daughter, Gu Sansi felt extremely distressed. He didn't understand why his daughter treated her brother like an enemy when they were obviously siblings and his own children.
Chen Wanting, who had been quietly observing Gu Sansi's expression, also advised:
"Master, please calm down. It's not Qianqian's fault. Her mother's madness must have made her feel bad. I also didn't do well enough, so please let her out!"
Seeing that Chen Wanting was still speaking for Gu Qianqian at this moment, Gu Sansi was also very moved and said:
"Wanting, you are such a good woman! The first blessing in my life is to be appreciated by His Majesty, and the second blessing is to marry you!"
Chen Wanting smiled and said:
"The luckiest thing in Wan Ting's life is meeting her husband!"
Feeling Chen Wanting's affectionate gaze, Gu Sansi also kissed her. After a long kiss, Gu Sansi also instructed:
"Wanting! Ask the servants to boil some water so I can take a shower! It's so hot now that I can't go a whole day without taking a shower!"
"Ok!"
After Chen Wanting finished speaking, she walked out of the room, leaving Gu Sansi and Gu Yuanqing alone in the mansion. After walking out of the room, Chen Wanting called her maid and instructed:
"Send someone to bring some water to Gu Qianqian later..."
The maid was a little surprised when she heard this and said:
"Madam! Why are you still protecting Gu Qianqian when she treats you like this?"
In response to the maid's misunderstanding, Chen Wanting said coldly:
"Just do it when I tell you to! Why are you talking so much nonsense!"
After this was said, the maid didn't dare to say anything and left immediately. Chen Wanting, who was alone, subconsciously touched the big bump on her forehead. The woman who felt the pain also showed a hint of viciousness in her eyes.
Although she succeeded in driving Wang away, Chen Wanting still did not stop. Gu Quan and Gu Qianqian were her next targets, and she would never give up until she drove these two little beasts away.
However, Chen Wanting knew clearly in her heart that Gu Qianqian and Gu Quan were different from Wang. Gu Sansi himself disliked Wang, but Gu Qianqian and Gu Quan were Gu Sansi's own children after all, so it would be much more difficult to drive Gu Qianqian and Gu Quan away than to drive Wang away.
Therefore, Chen Wanting did not abuse Gu Qianqian and Gu Quan like those vicious stepmothers. Instead, she would show concern for the siblings whenever she was free, and then intentionally or unintentionally emphasize the fact that Wang was crazy, touching the sensitive nerves of the siblings.
Gu Qianqian and Gu Quan, brother and sister, already hated Chen Wanting very much under the influence of their biological mother, Wang. Therefore, all of Chen Wanting's actions seemed even more hypocritical in their eyes, which made them hate and despise Chen Wanting even more.
And all of this was part of Chen Wanting's plan. Chen Wanting wanted the two children to do something out of the ordinary so that she would have the opportunity to fan the flames.
Gu Qianqian was a seven-year-old girl, and Gu Quan was a six-year-old boy, who were only thirteen years old together. How could they understand Chen Wanting's deep calculations? As expected, they couldn't help themselves in the end and made such an extraordinary move as using a slingshot to hurt people.
When Chen Wanting thought of the little beast Gu Qianqian who actually wanted to hit her son with a slingshot, she wanted to kill her immediately!
But the logic in her heart prevented Chen Wanting from doing so now. She had to maintain her image as a good wife and mother, and make herself and her son look like innocent victims!
This will prompt Gu Sansi to drive the two little beasts back to the cold Liaoyang, and when the two little beasts return to Liaoyang, that will be the time for Chen Wanting to really take action...

Yijing, in a factory workshop under the First Manufacturing Bureau in South City
Ye Mingsheng and dozens of other people were watching a machine that was constantly emitting white smoke. Driven by this machine, an iron wheel with a diameter of about three feet was constantly turning.
Seeing this iron wheel, which was almost as tall as a child, spinning continuously without any human intervention, many people accompanying Ye Mingsheng were amazed. Seeing everyone's surprised expressions, Chen Changgui, director of the First Manufacturing Bureau, and Su Junjie, director of the Second Manufacturing Bureau, also showed expressions of relief and pride.
The two of them had spent countless hours and energy to get to this moment, and now His Majesty's arrival was undoubtedly their harvest season.
Thinking of this, Chen Changgui took the lead and introduced to Ye Mingsheng who was observing the steam engine:
"Your Majesty, according to the idea you provided, our First Manufacturing Bureau and Second Manufacturing Bureau have rationally developed this steam engine. The diameter of this metal wheel is three feet and one inch. It is made of fine iron and weighs about seventy kilograms!"
Ye Mingsheng nodded slightly. Seeing this, Chen Changgui wanted to continue his introduction, but Ye Mingsheng interrupted his thoughts and said:
“Who is the engineer in charge of R&D?”
Hearing Ye Mingsheng's question, Chen Changgui hesitated for a moment. Su Junjie, who was standing beside him, immediately said, "Your Majesty, the engineer who developed this steam engine is named Liu Fei!"
"Where is he?"
Hearing Ye Mingsheng's question, Chen Changgui immediately called his subordinates to find Liu Fei over...
A moment later, a middle-aged man in dirty work clothes was brought to Ye Mingsheng. Feeling Ye Mingsheng's gaze, the middle-aged man was a little flustered. Seeing this, Chen Changgui immediately reminded him:
"Liu Fei, His Majesty is here, why don't you quickly pay your respects?"
Liu Fei reacted as soon as these words came out, and immediately knelt on the ground and saluted Ye Mingsheng:
"I, Liu Fei, greet your majesty!"
"Engineer Liu, please stand up!"
After Liu Fei stood up in a panic, Chen Changgui said at the right time:
"Your Majesty, Engineer Liu is a technical backbone of our First Manufacturing Bureau. He has always been working on the front line. He was just working and didn't have time to change his clothes!"
Ye Mingsheng heard this and asked Liu Fei with a smile:
"Engineer Liu, did you develop this machine?"
"Your Majesty, this steam engine was developed by me and more than a hundred colleagues!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Changgui's eyebrows moved slightly, and he immediately gave Liu Fei a look. Liu Fei immediately realized what was going on and complimented him:
"We were able to develop this machine thanks to your Majesty's guidance. Without your Majesty's far-sighted and correct leadership, we would never have been able to develop this steam engine in our lifetime!"
Hearing Liu Fei's words, Chen Changgui on the side lowered his head in satisfaction, but Ye Mingsheng was not impressed at all and said with a smile:
"Engineer Liu, don't be so modest. I just put forward some ideas. You guys did all the work. The engineers and technicians should take the credit for developing this steam engine!"
As soon as Ye Mingsheng said this, Liu Fei's eyes suddenly lit up, and at this time Ye Mingsheng continued to ask:
"Engineer Liu, please tell me about your research and development process and ideas..."
"Yes!"
At Ye Mingsheng's request, Liu Fei carefully started from the initiation of the steam engine project, and then began to talk about their R&D ideas, the problems encountered during the R&D process, how they solved the problems, and how they finally successfully developed and built the steam engine.
Ye Mingsheng originally thought that he could understand some of the content, but as Liu Fei's explanation became more in-depth, he went from having a vague understanding to being completely confused.
In the end, Ye Mingsheng gave up trying to understand the technologies that Liu Fei was talking about. Although he did not understand what Liu Fei said, Ye Mingsheng keenly discovered that after talking about the field of technology, Liu Fei, a middle-aged man who was a little panicked just now, now became talkative and looked much more confident.
After a cup of tea, Liu Fei finished his explanation and noticed that everyone looked at him in a panic. Seeing this, Ye Mingsheng smiled and applauded:
"Engineer Liu, you explained it very well!"
Seeing Ye Mingsheng applauding, everyone in the crowd also started to applaud. The scene suddenly became lively, and this made Liu Fei blush.
After the applause, Ye Mingsheng gathered the technicians who were developing the steam engine together, and then began to make an important speech.
Ye Mingsheng first highly affirmed the dedication and efforts of these technicians during this period, praised them as the pillars of Daqian, and thanked them on behalf of the entire court...
After saying this, Ye Mingsheng also extended his remarks, emphasizing once again that science and technology are the primary productive forces. If a country wants to be developed and strong, then its science and technology must be leading. Therefore, the court he leads will continue to invest in the field of technology, so that the dedication and efforts of technical personnel will be rewarded as they should be.
Not only is this true on the material level, Ye Mingsheng has also always insisted on improving the social status of technical personnel and the recognition of everyone in Daqian.
Hearing what Ye Mingsheng said, all the technicians present had tears in their eyes and shouted excitedly, "Long live the emperor!" Ye Mingsheng also struck while the iron was hot and said that all members of the scientific research team who developed the steam engine would be rewarded with 5,000 taels of silver, and Liu Fei, the project leader, would be given an additional reward of a courtyard house in Yijing City and the ninth-rank official title.
As soon as Ye Mingsheng said this, everyone looked at Liu Fei with envy. Although the status of skilled craftsmen has improved over the years thanks to Ye Mingsheng's efforts, traditional concepts are still deeply rooted in people's minds. Therefore, Liu Fei also completed the transformation from a civilian to an official under Ye Mingsheng's order.
Perhaps he was too excited at the moment. Liu Fei did not immediately thank the Lord for his kindness but stood there in a daze. After Chen Changgui's reminder, he knelt down in front of Ye Mingsheng and said excitedly:
"Thank you very much for your appreciation, Your Majesty. I will serve the court and Your Majesty with all my heart until my death..."
Upon hearing this, Ye Mingsheng personally helped Liu Fei up and encouraged him with a smile:
"I don't need you to devote yourself to my work until your death. I just want you to continue to make contributions to the court's scientific research!"
"Yes! Liu Fei will definitely live up to your majesty's trust!"
Ye Mingsheng nodded slightly when he heard this, and then said to the other technicians:
"You should follow Liu Fei's example and work hard in your respective positions. The court can see your efforts. As long as you do a good job, you can have whatever you want, such as a house, a carriage, gold, silver and jewelry!"
Ye Mingsheng's words were like an aphrodisiac, which immediately excited the technicians present. Ye Mingsheng talked with several technicians for a while, and then ended the inspection. When you walked out of the workshop, Chen Changgui flattered him again and said:
"Your Majesty has shown the demeanor of a saint in your respect for the wise and humble today! If today's events were to spread among the people, they would surely spread the praises of Your Majesty!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Mingsheng glanced at Chen Changgui and warned:
"Put more of your mind on work. Doing a good job is better than anything else!"
After hearing this, Chen Changgui realized that he had flattered the horse but failed. He nodded angrily and said:
"Your Majesty is right! I will definitely keep your Majesty's teachings in mind and insist on putting work first to better serve the court and your Majesty..."
