The eldest daughter of a peasant family: They are all my sisters’ passers-by

Chapter 78

She returned to the study and brewed black tea with golden flowers. This thing is already very rare in modern times, and it is impossible to make it with the production technology of this era.

"Xiaoyan, come."

Lan Wangyan trotted over and took the tea from Lan Wangshu's hand. She nodded her chin towards Cang Wenyuan, and Lan Wangyan's eyes lit up.

"Master, come and sit here."

"My name is Mo Yici, my courtesy name is Zhengyang, and I am the deputy general of the Zhennan Army."

The man looked at Lan Wangshu seriously and explained his identity carefully to reassure her as his sister.

Lan Wangshu understood and nodded. Cang Wenyuan also stopped what he was doing and came over to join in the fun.

Lan Wangyan knelt directly on the blue bricks, which made Lan Wangshu feel distressed. She had not yet had the time to put the cushion down. Why was this child so impatient? He knelt too straightforwardly and honestly.

"Master, please have tea."

Lan Wangyan's voice had a hint of grandma's voice, it was especially soft and his expression was firm.

Mo Yici took the tea, took a sip, and handed the jade back to Lan Wangyan. The little kid kowtowed and stood up.

Lan Wangshu took out a silver box and said it was a gift for his apprenticeship.

"Can I open it and take a look?"

"Please."

Zhou Xingnan also came over curiously to take a look. He opened the lid and found several small square boxes inside. The sides were a bit rough. When the boxes were opened, there were wooden strips inside with bulges on the tops. Everyone was confused.

"Miss Lan, what is this?"

"When the young general is out and about, he will need a fire. This is the thing that makes fire, called a match."

She took out a paper box, picked out a small wooden stick, scratched the side, and with a hiss, the stick actually ignited.

"The raw materials are rare and the process is complicated. These are all we have. General, keep them well. It would be best if you keep them in a metal box."

Mo Yici's shocked eyes softened and he looked at Lan Wangshu with a smile. It was obvious that he liked this gift very much.

"Miss Lan, thank you for your hard work. I will definitely teach Wang Yan well."

"Boss, I want it too."

Lan Wangshu glanced at him and shook his head.

"No more. It's useless for you to have this. What can you do with it? Can I keep it to light up the academy for you?"

Zhou Xingnan curled his lips, as if his inner thoughts were touched upon, and ran to the side, squatting on the ground and drawing circles with a wooden stick.

Mo Yici laughed and shook his head. His younger brother was still so unreasonable. However, this would not be cured in a day or two. Perhaps it would be better for him to be with Lan Wangshu. At least there would be someone who could control him.

"Miss Lan, please take care of Jingyang. I will be in Kyoto in the near future. If you encounter any problems, you can use the jade to find me at the Zhennan General's Mansion."

"Thank you, Mr. Mo."

After watching the excitement, Cang Wenyuan continued to work on his things. Just as he was about to drill a hole for sowing, he was grabbed by a small hand.

"The hole you drilled with this much force is too big. Start by drilling a smaller hole so you can slowly make it bigger. Otherwise, if it fails, you'll have to make a new one."

Cang Wenyuan looked at Lan Wangyu beside him with a smile. The siblings of the Lan family were really interesting.

When he saw that Lan Wangyan had chosen Mo Yici as his master, he couldn't help but think about accepting him as his disciple.

"What a lie! Do you want a master too?"

"I have a sister now."

Lan Wangyu didn't show any major emotional ups and downs and was stating the facts very seriously. Cang Wenyuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He was a popular person in Kyoto, but he was not as good as a woman in front of this little kid.

"Does your sister have this skill? If you don't know how to do it, you can't make it with just the blueprint, right? I can teach you. If you want to make something in the future, you can do it yourself. How great is that?"

Lan Wangyu was somewhat moved by what he said, but a child's mind can only think of so many things. However, he was very dependent on Lan Wangshu.

"Sister, my brother said he wanted to teach me a craft. Should I ask him to be my master?"

Cang Wenyuan didn't expect that this matter would be brought up openly. He looked a little embarrassed, and even more embarrassed when he met Mo Yici's eyes. He pretended to be calm and looked back unconvinced.

"Xiao Yu, do you want a master too? If you want to learn a craft from the brother of the Cang family, of course you can become his disciple, but have you thought about it? These crafts require hard work, and the things in your hands must be done carefully and meticulously. A slight mistake can lead to a great error. This basic skill is even more boring."

She touched Lan Wangyu's head, bent down slightly, and let her somewhat soft hair fall down.

"Sister knows that Xiaoyu is a child with ideas, but have you thought clearly about the principle that a teacher is a father for life? Now that you have started, you can't give up."

In this era, the inheritance between master and apprentice is still very important. To be honest, if Lan Wangyu takes Cang Wenyuan as his master, his future will be much easier whether in the imperial examination or in his official career.

Lan Wangyu lowered his head and thought seriously. He wanted to help Lan Wangshu. If there were new drawings in the future, he could complete them. As for suffering, he was not afraid. Wasn't his life hard enough before? As long as he could eat and wear warm clothes and be with his brothers and sisters, nothing was hard. To put it another way, he was reluctant to bury his sister's wonderful ideas in her mind. He could definitely help her realize her ideas.

"Sister, I'm not afraid."
