The emperor and his entourage were led by Peanut and visited the workshop openly, while the Fourth Prince, who was brought in by Hua Qi on his back, secretly visited the underground workshop under the guidance of Zhang Garden's number one coach.
Because Zhang Shou knew that this "master" who was even more elusive than Ah Liu could not be prevented at all, he simply opened all places to people. Therefore, although many people in Zhang Garden had never set foot in this underground workshop, Hua Qi had been there many times. At this time, even if he brought a child like the Fourth Prince with him, none of the craftsmen who were working said anything.
Everyone remembered what Zhang Shou said when he personally brought Hua Qi here: "This is Master Hua Qi, and he taught Ah Liu. Remember his face, and don't panic if someone like this suddenly appears around you. He has made great contributions with Duke Zhao, and even the emperor admires him."
In the actual experience that followed, they had to thank Zhang Shou for his advance reminder, because it was really scary that such a living person suddenly appeared beside them without anyone noticing and suddenly asked them very strange questions!
However, at this time, the craftsmen were calm about Hua Qi bringing his child to visit, but Hua Qi himself felt the headache that the craftsmen had when they saw him in the past. Because at this moment, the Fourth Prince tightly grasped the corner of his clothes and asked all kinds of strange questions. Even though he had said long ago that he didn't understand, he still couldn't resist the little guy's love of asking!
If the emperor hadn't suddenly decided to call Mr. Song and Fang Qing together, there would be no need for him to take care of this troublesome little prince!
Although he resented the emperor's thinking, Hua Qi also knew that the emperor's sudden visit to Zhang Shou's workshop was only partly for the craftsmen here, the various machines and the things being made, and more importantly, to broaden the Fourth Prince's horizons. Although the Fourth Prince was suddenly thrown to him, he couldn't abandon such a curious baby.
Therefore, even though he felt helpless and impatient, he could only stay by her side.
Fortunately, the Fourth Prince soon discovered that Uncle Hua Qi, who was "forced to be snatched from the Duke of Zhao's mansion as a guard" by his father, was good at martial arts, but in a place like a workshop, no matter how high the martial arts were, they would not be able to play a role. If it were the Third Prince, he might have given up the idea of asking for the truth at this time, and would just take a quick look and try to persuade Zhang Shou to take him to see it in person next time. But he was different.
The fourth prince looked around with his eyes rolling. When he saw a group of craftsmen working hard and not paying attention to him, there was an old craftsman with a mature face and a beard who looked quite experienced. He kept looking at him, as if he was curious. He suddenly ran over with his short legs, and when he got in front of the craftsman, he even tugged at the corner of his clothes.
Seeing people looking down at him in astonishment, he whispered, "Uncle, can you show me around here? There are a lot of things I don't understand."
The old craftsman stared at the Third Prince for a long time, and finally said with a complicated expression: "Young Master, I am only twenty-nine this year."
The fourth prince's eyes widened immediately, his face full of disbelief. The old craftsman in front of him looked much older than his father, but he was only 29 years old? Fortunately, he reacted very quickly, and immediately let go of his hand, stepped back and bowed deeply, saying: "I'm sorry, I'm shortsighted. Uncle, can you take me around here to have a look? My seventh uncle Hua doesn't really understand these things."
