Cui Boxiao did not return to Beijing. Although Liu Qiaoer felt a little disappointed, she is now doing well in the capital.
The sense of technology in the space became stronger and stronger, and she realized that having money without technology was not enough.
Marquis Zhenbei took his grandson Zhu Zhengxiu back to his own courtyard in the capital.
At this time, Marquis Zhenbei learned that Liu Qiaoer was actually the maid of Marquis Zhennan's son. She had learned medical skills and helped Marquis Zhennan a lot. He also admired this girl.
Unexpectedly, Marquis Zhennan took the initiative to adopt her as his goddaughter.
When he returned to the capital, the Marquis of Zhennan actually went south to fight the foreigners.
The two missed each other again, but fortunately Cui Boxiao had been adopted as the godson by Marquis Zhenbei. If they got married, Liu Qiaoer would definitely be his daughter-in-law.
On this day, Liu Qiaoer took the translated materials to the Ministry of Industry again. The data of these artillery pieces had to be translated and tested before they could obtain their own data again.
People from the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of War started classes to learn foreign languages.
Liu Qiaoer originally knew it, but who would have known that these foreign languages would have changed beyond recognition after more than a hundred years of development.
She didn't know how to do it either, but fortunately she had some basic knowledge. There were several foreigners in the capital who were invited by the emperor at high salaries to be their teachers. In addition to assisting with translation, they also taught them foreign languages.
Liu Qiaoer arrived at the entrance of the industry department with some documents in her arms. As soon as she got off the carriage, the carriage of Cui Xiao, the son of Zhennan Marquis, also drove over.
"Qiao'er, wait a moment."
When Cui Xiao saw Liu Qiaoer, he jumped off the carriage with a look of joy on his face.
"Are you here to deliver something?"
Liu Qiaoer nodded and handed him the copy in her hand. "This is the information that has just been translated. One copy for each of the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of War. Since you are here, you can take the copy from the Ministry of War."
Cui Xiao took the things but didn't leave. He kept looking at Liu Qiaoer, as if he wanted to say something.
Liu Qiaoer blinked: "What's wrong?"
Cui Xiao coughed lightly: "It's nothing, I just thought that we haven't talked together for a long time, and I wanted to have a cup of tea with you."
Yes, ever since Cui Xiao came back from the south with a body full of injuries and had not yet recovered, Liu Qiaoer was sent to the palace by the Marquis of Zhennan to treat the queen.
Two or three years had passed in the blink of an eye, and the relationship between her and Cui Xiao, who had originally been deep as master and servant, had become a stranger.
Liu Qiaoer smiled slightly: "Okay."
At this moment, someone came out of the Ministry of Works. Liu Qiaoer asked him to take the information in his hand to the Minister of Works. She turned around and tilted her head towards Cui Xiao.
"Let's go and have some tea."
After going through many hardships, Cui Xiao and Liu Qiaoer sat in a quiet teahouse, and melodious singing came from the backyard.
Looking at the bustling and peaceful capital, who would have thought that last year's New Year's Day was still a bleak scene.
Different from Liu Qiaoer's angle, Cui Xiao looked towards the backyard with a dazed look.
"Linglong said that I once participated in this backyard party and became famous because of it. She said that I was very talented, and Bingxue fell in love with me because of this. If the Hu family hadn't had an accident, Bingxue would never have become my maid."
"But how come I have no memory of all this? It seems like I've been here, but it also seems like I haven't been here..."
After hearing this, Liu Qiaoer's heart trembled slightly. Could she say that the him during that period was not himself, but someone else's soul
"Oh, so, maybe you lost your memory after being injured?"
Cui Xiao lowered his eyes and said nothing.
Liu Qiaoer: "I didn't tell anyone about your injury except the Marquis, but do you know how you got hurt and who hurt you?"
Cui Xiao raised his eyes to look at Liu Qiaoer and shook his head gently.
To outsiders, Cui Xiao has changed a lot since returning from the south.
Before Cui Boxiao traveled through time to his body, he was actually an ordinary person except for his title as the son of the Marquis of Zhennan.
He has an ordinary appearance and ordinary talent, but the Marquis of Zhennan holds military power and has an elder sister who is the queen. He was brought up to be ordinary by his family, which is exactly his way of survival.
Moreover, he likes to eat, drink and have fun, although not excessively. In the eyes of outsiders, he is considered a playboy.
Who would have thought that after Cui Boxiao traveled through his body, he would show such amazing talent, being good at both poetry and painting, and even able to build cannons.
Cui Boxiao followed the Marquis of Zhennan to the south and disappeared after providing disaster relief.
Cui Boxiao traveled back in time after being knocked unconscious, which means that Cui Xiao was dead at that moment.
But there were two souls in the body, and Cui Xiao's original soul woke up again. The subsequent torture was far less painful than at the beginning, and in the end he was sent back.
It means he has saved his life and is alive.
His body was covered with bruises, and although they have healed now, the scars are still there, and his legs still hurt when it is windy and rainy.
In the past, when he took a bath, he would have several maids accompany him at a time.
Now, not to mention maids, even servants are not allowed to serve him and the door is simply closed. Every day, looking at the scars on his body, his mind is confused.
In fact, he didn't know who the person who harmed him was, because he hadn't seen anyone from the beginning.
Seeing that Cui Xiao remained silent, Liu Qiaoer knew that he couldn't get over his difficulties and didn't ask any more questions.
Looking at the bustling streets of the capital, he changed the subject.
"Sir, the Marquis's wife said that your marriage is difficult to arrange and has always disagreed. What are you going to do?"
Cui Xiao smiled coldly: "No matter what? If we don't want to get married, then we don't have to. Anyway, there is Cui Hao. As long as he gets married and has a child, I can adopt one and take care of me in my old age."
Liu Qiaoer frowned: "Have you thought about it a long time ago?"
Cui Xiao's face was gloomy: "Yeah, what can I do? How can I face my wife with my body like this? Otherwise... you can marry me... Anyway, you have seen my body, and you have never disliked it..."
Liu Qiaoer was speechless: "I already have someone I like."
Cui Xiao frowned: "Qiao'er? When did we become so unfamiliar? When we were in the Marquis' Mansion, you were the most well-behaved maid in my room."
If Liu Qiaoer hadn't traveled through time, the original owner would have become Cui Xiao's maid.
Liu Qiaoer found the best reason: "If I follow you, it would be best if I could be your concubine, but for him and I, I am his wife."
Putting aside the feelings, she still has her own judgment on who has a higher status between a wife and a concubine.
Cui Xiao sighed deeply: "I see, I finally understand where I lost."
Liu Qiaoer realized at this moment that Cui Xiao came to talk to her about love, but unfortunately she already had someone in her heart.
Besides, as a modern person, how could she possibly fall in love with an ancient person
Thinking of this, she remembered Lu Yunzheng. When she first traveled through time, she thought she would live in this era for the rest of her life, and she had thought about spending her whole life with a man here.
Lu Yunzheng is also a young man of extraordinary talent.
It’s a pity that her thoughts were ultimately unable to understand the thoughts of the ancients.
What’s even more regrettable is that her mission is not to travel through time, but to change history.
Cui Xiao sighed again: "I don't know how those drawings were made. Fortunately, I have the information now. I must study hard, otherwise, others will really think I have become a different person."
Liu Qiaoer looked out the window again, and suddenly, she saw the carriage of the Marquis of Zhenbei. Zhu Zhengzheng's little face was revealed, with his chubby little hands stretched out, smiling happily.
