In the evening, Luo Youer picked up Luo Qingqing who had returned from "attending a lecture" near the dock yard in Beicheng District.
This is the location chosen by Mo Yun for the establishment of the New Mechanism Bureau—during the battle with the Dongsheng Kingdom, the houses around the yard were severely damaged, and the salt cooking plant was abandoned with the fall of the Wang family. These were originally used for the opponent's salt. The warehouse also became useless. Therefore, during the reconstruction process, the New Mechanical Engineering Bureau became a landmark building in this area.
Although there is only an outline of the factory building, the teaching and research room used to train assistants has been put into use. It is here that Mo Yun imparts knowledge to the team he has gathered and hone his machine manufacturing skills.
"Senior sister, I'm here!" Luo You'er's eyebrows arched when she saw Luo Qingqing, and she trotted all the way to her side, "How do you feel? Those elves... If you don't look at their ears, they are both handsome, right? ?”
Luo Qingqing couldn't help but hold her forehead and said, "So you are paying attention to this? You should know that I can't see the other person's face clearly if I don't get within a foot of him."
Although she was warned by her junior sister before going there, she still felt a huge shock when she actually saw a group of "demon" who were very different from herself sitting in the lobby.
One of the responsibilities of the alchemist is to slay demons.
But now, Xia Fan, the Prime Minister of Jinxia Privy Council, has become the protector of monsters. This strong contrast still made her feel uncomfortable subconsciously.
If it weren't for her mental anticipation, she would have almost summoned the dragon scales.
But another thought clearly told her that this was neither Gyeonggi Shangyuan nor Youzhou Luojia. From the moment he got off the ship, he should have understood that Jinxia City had a unique set of rules.
People often say that the soil and water support the people, but she always felt that the city was assimilating towards Xia Fan.
So Luo Qingqing found a seat near the back and sat down quietly.
This listening lasted an afternoon.
The fact is that the demon did not cause her any trouble. She quickly became immersed in the knowledge Mo Yun told her, and she still has endless aftertaste to this day.
"Hehe, that's my first feeling." Luo Youer stuck out her tongue and admitted generously, "As for the exquisite, magical and streamlined beauty that Sister Mo Yun often talks about, I really can't experience it. "
"It's not because you waste all your time on trivial matters and don't spend much time actually reading."
"No, senior sister."
Luo Qing was slightly startled, "No?"
Luo Youer walked up to her with her hands behind her back, "Actually, when you went to the library to explore, I was reading in my room. But at that time, no matter what, I couldn't catch up with your progress."
Luo Qingqing unconsciously slowed down.
"After coming to Jinxia City, I gradually understood that the gap between people cannot be bridged by hard work alone. It is impossible for You'er to catch up with senior sister in knowledge, but she also has her own ability Something competent." Luo Youer turned around and smiled at her, "Look, didn't the job I held in the Secretariat help you? Now I am the leader of a team of more than ten people, Xun My skills have also improved a lot, so I should be able to catch up with my senior sister in other aspects, right?"
"Junior sister..."
"I will never be able to do what you want to do? I don't even dare to think about it. But it doesn't matter, just do it with confidence? I will take good care of you from behind - together with my senior brother and senior sister. Luo Youer said, pressing her chest.
Luo Qingqing felt a warm current suddenly surge from his heart to his eyes.
In order to maintain the image of senior sister? She stepped forward and patted the other person's forehead, raised her gaze and said? "Senior sister is not disabled enough for you to take care of her. But... thank you for saying that."
Luo Youer pursed her lips and suddenly changed the topic? "Senior sister? How many months have we not seen each other? Did you feel that Xia Fan's appearance had changed when you saw him?"
"No." Luo Qingqing said with some doubts, "It's still the same as before. Even his speaking style... is almost the same as when he was in Qingshan Town. I always feel that his character seems to have been finalized a long time ago."
"Oh!" Luo You'er looked stunned, "So? You've been within one foot of him!"
She suddenly got stuck? Then he raised his knife.
"As expected...you talk a lot!"
"Sister, spare your life!"
The two chased each other for a while, and Luo Youer suddenly stopped and said, "By the way, do you want to go say hello to the people you brought?"
"What?"
"When you decided to go to Gyeonggi? You probably didn't plan to come back, right? Now that you have decided to stay temporarily, maybe you can tell those people that you haven't left yet?"
Luo Qingqing hesitated and said? "I think it's better to forget it... It wouldn't be a bad thing if they have less entanglements with me -"
Before she finished speaking, her hand was already held by Luo Youer, "Anyway, we have to pass through Dongcheng District when we go back to our residence, so let's take a look on the way. Not seeing each other for three days is enough for their lives to change."
The second half of the other person's words made her somewhat concerned. Can changes be brought about in three days? With a skeptical attitude, Luo Qingqing was led by Luo Youer to the villager's residence.
It was the time to light a fire for cooking, and smoke rose above every house. While the adults were busy, children gathered and played in the front yards of the terraced houses. The whole street looked quite lively.
Just when she was undecided whether she should continue to approach, Luo Youer had already pushed her waist out of the street.
"It's big sister!"
Aduo noticed her arrival first.
Then a dozen children swarmed around her.
"Big sister? Is she the fairy you often call her?"
"Yes, she is so strong that even a large group of thieves can't get close to her."
"So powerful...it doesn't look like it."
"Everyone who senses Qi is like this!"
Luo Qingqing discovered that not only the children from Wuming Village, but also many of their peers had joined them.
"You... are you back?" Erhu said a little nervously, "You didn't even say a word when you left, which made A'duo cry for a long time."
"You're still different." Liuya sneered.
"I didn't, don't talk nonsense!" Erhu glared at her, then puffed up his chest and said, "In short, I have decided to be a warlock - just like you."
"And I!"
"Me too." The other children responded.
Luo blinked slightly in surprise, "How to do this?"
"Sister from the Secretariat said that the first step to becoming an alchemist is literacy! Jinxia Academy will start classes soon and is already recruiting people to participate." Erhu said according to the news he heard, "If you can read even the Chinese characters If you don’t understand, how can you draw talismans and perform spells? So I’m going to the academy to listen to lectures and become a Qi sensor!”
In terms of age alone, these children are only eleven or twelve years old and only seven or eight years old. There is indeed hope of feeling Qi, but is there something wrong with this order? The aristocratic family first recruits children who can sense Qi and then educates and trains them. Luo Qingqing knew very well that studying was a costly investment, and those who could put aside farm chores and concentrate on studying were considered to have some background. Even the Luo family cannot treat every disciple equally.
She was a little worried and said, "But...it costs money to attend the lecture, right? There are also pens and papers, books...what do your family members say?"
"No need, the sister from the Secretariat said that as long as you are of the right age, you can be selected if you sign up." A'duo replied quickly, "charcoal pencils and books are provided by the school. If you get good grades, you can also get monetary rewards!"
