The lady escaped marriage and became addicted

Chapter 609 Surprise!The princess is gone (1)
An Ran was surprised, and looked at her uncle Gu Shengwen suspiciously.Didn't my uncle tell my grandfather that the letters, paintings, and so on she got before were all fake?
"I, I forgot to tell dad..."

Gu Shengwen only thought about his brother's return, so he was happy, but how could he remember to confess to the old man that he and his niece jointly deceived him?
There was no other way, An Ran had no choice but to confess to herself.

"Grandpa, in fact, it was..."

After hearing An Ran's explanation, not only the old man was shocked, even Gu Shengwen was also shocked.

"How old were you then? Can you come up with such an idea? Can you draw such realistic pictures?"

"Sister Ran, do you really think it's okay if you can pinch it? The lie you made up to deceive your grandfather is so close to the truth... However, it's thanks to the lie you made up to coax your grandfather, otherwise..." Otherwise, he didn't know if he would be able to see the old man when he came back.

The old man knew that his youngest son was back, so he brought his daughter-in-law back with him. The meeting ceremony had already been prepared, not only for the daughter-in-law, but also for the two grandsons who had not met.

"Hurry up, get the meeting gift I prepared!" The old man urged the eldest son to quickly look for it in the luggage.

Because it was a valuable item, and he knew that it would be taken out as soon as he arrived in the capital, Gu Shengwen kept it on the outermost side and took it out quickly.

The gift that the old man prepared for his youngest daughter-in-law was a pair of Pisces jade pendants that have been in harmony for a hundred years, one for each son and daughter-in-law.For the two grandchildren, there are two identical gold collars with a long life lock inlaid with rubies hanging on them.

Gu Li got her father-in-law's acknowledgment, she felt relieved, and looked at her husband with a smile.

With red eyes, Gu Shengwu said in the language of the Kava tribe: "I told you a long time ago that my parents are very good people and will like you. It's a pity that my mother is gone, and I couldn't see you and my grandson with my own eyes... ..."

At this time, Yang Yan suddenly pulled An Ran, and mouthed two words.

An Ran immediately remembered, and hurriedly pulled her cousin and aunt over to meet her grandfather.

"Grandpa, this is what I told you in my letter, the daughter of my great aunt, your niece, and my cousin."

Gu Shengwu and his wife got up and stepped aside, Shen Yi came over and knelt down, and called out with red eyes: "Uncle..."

"You, you are the eldest sister's child! You look six to seven points like the eldest sister..." The old man recognized it at a glance, and his mood became excited again.

"Grandpa, I found my great aunt. This is a happy event. Why are you crying?"

This day is destined to be an exciting day.

Although Gu Shengwen and Gu Shengwen brothers were somewhat dissatisfied with An Ran's forced retention of the old man in the palace, there was nothing they could do.Who let them have no house in the capital?An Ran said that they can all live in Prince Ping's Mansion, but the two brothers still come in the morning and go back to Zhao's house in the evening.Anyway, the Zhao family is not far from Prince Ping's Mansion.

Gu Shaolin and Zhao Anqi went to the Imperial College to study in the morning, went to the East Palace Council in the afternoon, and came to the Ping Palace to greet the old man in the evening, and took Gu Shengwen, Gu Shengwu and Gu Wanniang back by the way.

Because there was a pregnant woman who was about to give birth at home, Gu Wanniang naturally couldn't visit her father every day, but knowing that her father was in Prince Ping's Mansion and was taken care of by her granddaughter An Ran, she was not worried.

For the next half month, people from the Zhao family went to Prince Ping's mansion every day.Of course, Gu Tingfang couldn't go even if he wanted to, but the old man went to Zhao's house to see his granddaughter a few times.

At the same time, Yang Yan has formally asked the emperor to go to Quanzhou to supervise the construction of new sea-going ships, and briefly talked about his ideas.

The emperor didn't pay much attention to the steam engine. In his mind, it was just a little gas, how useful would it be?He was extremely interested in that "cannon".

With the emperor's sensitivity, he had foreseen that once his son's experiment was successful, Da Sui would be invincible and invincible with this kind of magic weapon.

In fact, Yang Yan had already made cannons in a workshop under the Ministry of Industry, but he hadn't prepared the gunpowder yet.It's not that he can't deploy it, but he feels that once gunpowder comes out and hot weapons are born, many people will inevitably expand their ambitions, start wars, and expand their territory.

According to the historical experience of the Yuan Dynasty, because of geographical limitations, he knew that even if he could conquer the whole world with gunpowder weapons, he could not conquer the nations of the world.In fact, he is more inclined to the practice of the British Empire, establishing colonies and carrying out economic plunder.

When An Ran had an accident last year, he almost used this cannon to deal with Cui Yi and King An, but at the last moment, he held back.It was also in the end that An Ran returned to him safely, otherwise, once he went crazy, he didn't know what he would do with this new weapon.I don't know what kind of chaos this world will be like, how many people will die...

"If this cannon is really that powerful? If it is transported to the border, if the Turks dare to attack, wouldn't they no longer have to be afraid of them?"

"Father, it is not difficult to make a cannon. The difficulty lies in the blending of gunpowder. Without gunpowder, the cannon will be useless. At present, my son is experimenting with the formula for blending gunpowder. This is not urgent. In comparison, in fact The steam engine is more useful."

Yang Yan doesn't want to mix the gunpowder yet.

"Oh, what's the use of this thing?"

"It can do many things that we cannot do with human power. It can replace water power and wind power, and get rid of the limitations of natural conditions. For example..."

Talking about the function of a steam engine with a person who has never seen a steam engine, Yang Yan really has a headache.He knew that the steam engine was the beginning of modern industrialization, the beginning of the real industrialization process.But how can I convince my father?
Moreover, although he wanted to bring Tai Sui into industrialization, it was hard to say whether he could succeed by relying on his own strength.All he can do is to plant a seed in the hearts of the people of the Sui Dynasty.

The emperor was confused and dubious, but he basically believed that the steam engine was a good thing, and it played a major role in promoting the strength of the Sui Dynasty.Knowing this, the emperor fully supported Yang Yan to invent and manufacture the steam engine.
