Chapter 185 Two Kicks

The Mid-Autumn Festival is one of the four traditional festivals in the Central Plains, second only to the Spring Festival.

On this day, the family usually gathers together to enjoy the moon and eat moon cakes, praying for a good harvest.

For wanderers who cannot return from abroad, this day is a day to miss their hometown and family.

In addition to watching the moon and eating moon cakes, people can also go out to enjoy lanterns and drink sweet-scented osmanthus wine.

This is true of the people, and so is the royal family.

Every year during the Mid-Autumn Festival, a family banquet will be held in the palace. Except for the members of the royal family who are far away from the border and cannot return, everyone else will be present.

As the [-]th day of August approached, the House of Internal Affairs and the Imperial Dining Room, which were in charge of preparing the banquet, also got busy. In sharp contrast to this busyness, it was Wang Gangquan and Liu Luming.

The two of them were farting away, instead of going to the ordnance factory to supervise workers, they actually went to the wilderness to play two kicks.

The two of them were discussing as they put it together, looking very professional.

Just when there was the last one left in Wang Gangquan's hands, he seemed to remember something, and waved towards not far away.

Not far away stood Xiaochunzi, holding a child in his arms. This child was Wang Qianying, the son of Wang Bingjin.

The little guy had been waiting impatiently for a long time, and now that he was allowed, he immediately wanted to come down anxiously.

After Xiao Chunzi put him on the ground, he immediately ran towards Wang Quanquan happily. Although he was still a little unskilled in running, he was able to maintain his balance and not fall down.

Seeing the anxious look of the little guy, Wang Gangquan couldn't help smiling.

After he decided to adopt Wang Qianying on a whim, he scratched his head with worry that night.

Although his mental age is over 30, he has never brought up a child in two lives, and the little guy came suddenly, and he was not prepared at all.

Just when Wang Gangquan was at a loss, Xiao Chunzi volunteered to stand up and said that he had taken care of the child.

Wang Gangquan couldn't help being a little suspicious, the other party wasn't much older than him, where did he get his experience?

After thinking about it later, I realized that the child he brought up was not himself.

After thinking about this, Wang Gingquan confidently handed over the child to Xiaochunzi. Maybe in time, Wang Qianying will become such an outstanding young man like him.

Later, he went out for several days because of the Japanese pirates, and when he came back, he resolutely gave up his plan to let Xiaochunzi take care of the child.

After all, this kid is getting more and more out of tune now, he doesn't want Wang Qianying to be like Xiao Chunzi in the future, lying on the rocking chair and waiting for others to peel grapes for him to eat.

So he began to gradually try to get along with the little guy. He thought that raising a child would be a very hard job. After all, there are two kinds of creatures in this world that cannot be speculated by common sense: one is a child, and the other is a woman.

But what he didn't expect was that the little guy was not only very obedient, but also very clingy to him. Not only would he often stagger to his room, he would even climb onto the chair to watch him read and write.

This move seemed to ignite Wang Gangquan's hidden paternal love, so he held him in his arms and talked about the Three Character Classic.

The child who was still babbling didn't know if he could understand it, and he was just babbling and learning. This situation made Wang Gangquan quite gratified.

Afterwards, the relationship between the two became better and better. In the end, Wang Gingquan simply let him live in his own room. Although he was ready to be woken up in the middle of the night, Xiao Qianying was surprisingly obedient, neither crying nor making trouble. Sleep until dawn.

Every time Wang Gangquan woke up after sleeping until the sun was high, he would find the little guy quietly playing with toys beside him.

From this, Wang Gangquan fell in love with the child even more.

……

Xiao Qianying stumbled to the front, but she was still a little scared and kept away.

Seeing this, Wang Gangquan picked him up and handed him a lit incense.

"It's okay, don't be afraid, let Uncle Liu hold it, and you can order it."

As he said that, he looked at Liu Luming, who was crying when he saw this, obviously unwilling.

"Brother Wang, it's not that I don't want to cooperate. If something unexpected happens, do I still want to lose my hand?"

Hearing the words, Wang Quanquan showed surprise and said:
"Eh? Didn't you say it's foolproof? You made this thing. If something happens, it means your craftsmanship is not good, so don't do it."

"That being said, there are exceptions to everything..."

Ever since, the two hit it off just like this.

In the end, because Liu Luming was too cowardly, Wang Bingquan had no choice but to give in, and found a tree branch to put the second kick on it, and then asked Xiao Qianying to touch it.

As the fuse was ignited, after a burst of sparks, the second kicker was successfully detonated.

It's just that this time it didn't go into the air, but exploded on the spot, and even broke the branches of the tree.

Seeing this, Liu Luming's face turned pale, and he secretly expressed his gratitude.

On the other hand, Wang Gangquan looked disappointed, and muttered, "I should have persisted just now."

"What?"

"It's nothing, the formula needs to be improved."

"Indeed, what went wrong?" Liu Luming began to frown and think.

When he came back to his senses, Wang Gingquan had already walked away with the child in his arms, and Liu Luming hurriedly chased after him when he saw this.

"Brother Wang, let's make an agreement. If I do this well, you have to bring me to the Mid-Autumn Festival dinner."

"Don't worry, I'll arrange a private seat for you then."

"Hey, then I thank Brother Wang in advance."

Wang Quanquan glanced at him when he heard the words, but did not say any words to attack him.

Wang Bingquan still knew Liu Luming's level, especially the research on gunpowder. There might not be anyone in the entire capital who knew better than Liu Luming.

And why did Wang Gangquan ask him to help make the second kicker, and why Liu Luming wanted to attend the royal dinner? This matter started a few days ago.

Since the two came back from fighting in the southeast, Liu Luming, who has experienced a life-and-death battle, has missed the sixth princess Wang Binghui to a new height.

But as a fifth-rank servant, he has no way to enter the palace, let alone see the sixth princess.

Later, after a lot of pleading, he asked Wang Gangquan to help deliver several letters, but how could the correspondence alone relieve his pain of lovesickness?

So he licked his face again and begged Wang Gangquan to take him into the palace. Wang Gangquan couldn't bear his disgusting appearance of snot and tears, so he finally had to agree.

But even if they finally entered the palace and saw the sixth princess, they could only communicate politely and normally, not to mention intimate actions such as pulling hands, and it was impossible to even say a word of affection.

Because there is a personal maid named Xiaoqing next to the sixth princess. This maid has disliked Mr. Liu who is always talking about running the train from the very beginning, and she is always on guard against him.

Although Liu Lu knew that the other party would not tell outsiders what he said, he was not thick-skinned enough to flirt with the sixth princess in front of outsiders, and even said some love words that Wang Gangquan taught him.

He was a fifth-rank "big man" in the court, but he was subdued by a maid, so he felt so aggrieved.
