Chapter 119 Is he really a genius?
Soon, the number of people gathered around the pool and looking down increased from two to a group.
It is said that a big reward will always bring out brave men. Because of the one hundred taels reward, and the fact that the Sixth Prince and Princess Sheng'an have been playing together, it has been a long time since he killed palace maids.
These young eunuchs and palace maids in Yaohua Palace are very active at this moment.
It's just a method I came up with...
"Your Highness, how about assigning someone here to fetch water?"
"That's a good idea. Then we can arrange a group of people to pass the bucket all the way to the Fifth Sister's palace, right?"
Yun Chuhuan chuckled, and then his face suddenly fell:
"How foolish! If this were possible, why would I need to ask you guys to come here to come up with ideas?
What this prince wants is for the water to come out of the pool by itself!"
"..."
If it can climb out of the pool by itself, can it still be called water?
That must be a monster!
The eunuchs and maids were frightened by Yun Chuhuan's shout and fell silent. Only Xiao Yuanzi, who entered the palace the latest, was still squatting by the pond, deep in thought.
Unlike other people whose families were poor and who were sold to the palace to become eunuchs at an early age,
Xiao Yuanzi's father, his grandfather, and his grandfather's grandfather are all skilled carpenters.
Even counting further back, it is said that one of our ancestors had studied under a descendant of the Mohist school!
It is not clear whether it is true or not, but Xiao Yuanzi did see a tattered book at home when he was young. He could not understand the words on the book, but the strange things drawn on it were his favorite at that time.
His father said it was called the Mohist mechanism, and seeing that he was interested, he took him to make some exquisite little gadgets.
If nothing unexpected happened, he would have inherited his father's business when he grew up, become a skilled craftsman, and then get married and have children...
Unfortunately, when he was ten years old, his father took a job at a farm outside the city. On the way to work, he encountered robbers and died accidentally.
The pillar of the family had fallen, and as the eldest son, he was too young to take over his father's carpentry shop.
There were five younger brothers and sisters to support, and the mother cried all day long at home.
Xiao Yuanzi had no other choice but to grit his teeth and sell himself into the palace to be a eunuch.
After five years in the palace, he had almost forgotten the things he used to love to think about.
Until today, when I was called here by the Sixth Prince and heard him make a request that seemed impossible to others,
Suddenly, another idea popped up in his mind -
Maybe, he can earn this one hundred taels!
"Your Highness, I have an idea that may work, but it requires some wood and a lot of bamboo tubes!"
"Just wood and bamboo tubes?"
Having just heard an extremely unreliable proposal, Yun Chuhuan now doesn't quite believe the methods proposed by these palace servants.
He looked at Xiao Yuanzi with some suspicion:
"Tell me first, what are you going to do?"
"Your Highness, please look, I plan to do this in this place... and then... in this way..."
When talking about the things he really likes, Xiao Yuanzi's eyes light up.
He originally only had a rough idea, but in the process of introducing it to the Sixth Prince, this idea was gradually improved.
Yun Chuhuan could barely keep up with his thoughts at first, but as Xiao Yuanzi became more and more absorbed in his talk,
When Yun Chuhuan heard the contents of those words, they gradually turned into a divine book.
Yun Chuhuan: “…”
"Do you understand?"
He glanced at Xiao Anzi sideways,
The latter shrank his neck and shook his head awkwardly:
"Slave, slave is stupid."
"What about you? Do you understand?"
He glanced at the others again. The eunuchs and palace maids didn't know why he asked this question, and they all shook their heads like rattles:
"Your Highness, I don't understand!" Very good, no one understands, it seems that this is not his problem.
Yun Chuhuan was satisfied.
He patted Xiao Yuanzi's shoulder seriously, pretending to understand:
“Although these idiots cannot understand what you said, fortunately, this prince has understood it.
Although... there is still room for improvement, but as of now, it should be possible to give it a try.
Anyway, that wooden bamboo tube is not a valuable item. I will have someone send it to you in a moment.
You must not let this prince down!"
"Thank you, His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince!"
I didn't expect that after entering the palace, I would have the opportunity to touch these things. Xiao Yuanzi quickly accepted the offer with many thanks.
As for Yun Chuhuan himself, he happily ran off to look for his fifth sister.
"How did you come?"
When Yun Chuhuan arrived at Fengyang Palace, Yun Shu had just returned from outside the palace.
All the tasks in hand had been assigned, and she was about to lie back in the villa to play some games, when this boy rushed in from outside.
Yun Shu paused and couldn't help but sigh:
"Don't we have to find a way to bring the water from Yaohua Palace to my place?
It's only been three days, you're not going to give up already, are you? "
"It's impossible for me to give up. Fifth sister, you underestimate me too much!"
Yun Chuhuan raised his chin proudly, like a peacock spreading its tail, and waited proudly for Yun Shu's praise:
"I've figured out a solution!"
"you sure?"
So fast, and he didn't even ask her for advice... Could it be that I had misjudged him before, and he really is a genius?
Yun Shu was a little skeptical:
"Then tell me, what is the solution?"
"Fifth sister, you look like you don't believe me!"
Clearly, he ran to Fengyang Palace in the first place just to show off that method to Yun Shu.
But now that Yun Shu had already asked, he became even more pretentious:
"Fifth sister, didn't you think I could think of a solution?
So the 10,000 taels of silver you mentioned weren't just a lie to fool me, were they?"
"..."
Why can't she stand seeing naughty kids showing off?
"You said it or not."
Yun Shu raised his eyebrows. There was no problem in his tone.
But Yun Chuhuan inexplicably felt a suppression coming from his blood.
His arrogant expression suddenly froze, and then he chose to follow his heart without any struggle:
"First, we can make one next to the pool..."
He repeated what Xiao Yuanzi had just said in front of Yunshu as best as possible.
Finally, he shook his head with a beaming expression:
"How is it? Is this method good?"
"You can definitely try it."
Waterwheel!
He actually figured it out?
Yun Shu raised his eyebrows in surprise.
