Chapter 85 Kashina’s Thank-You Gift

Chapter 85 Kashina’s Thank-You Gift

Meili and Keson are the fourth children in the family, and their actual ages are not much older than Navis.

Moreover, in terms of talent, he is not as good as his brothers and sisters in the clan, and his status in the Menke family is not too high.

But in short, she is definitely taller than Navis.

After realizing their mistake, the two siblings kept promising that they would never do anything like today again.

Lu Qi glanced back at Navis, watching the small body busy near the workbench, and suddenly had a new idea.

Immediately, he looked at the two breathing siblings in front of him and said, "From today on, you two will be responsible for helping Navis."

"ah?"

Mellie and Keson looked up at the same time, with expressions as if they hadn't listened carefully.

"Any comments?"

Lu Qi looked at the two of them calmly.

This sight immediately made Melikkoson feel great pressure.

Meili hurriedly smiled and said: "Of course I have no objection, we are happy to help."

However, the expressions of the two siblings did not look very happy.

Navis is at the bottom of the family, not only because of her background, but also because she spends her days researching useless inventions, and she has been ridiculed to this day.

Known as the most "stupid" person in the Menke family.

Although they are not much better, if they help Navis, how will they see anyone in the future?

Lu Qi read these words from their expressions, stood up from the chair, and reached out to help the two of them up.

In response, Mellie and Keson showed flattered expressions.

"Do you think it's a waste of time to help Navis?"

Lu Qi asked aloud.

Mellie and Keson didn't answer, but it was obvious that they thought so.

In fact, the two of them still had a question, and that was what exactly His Highness the Prince was interested in in Navis.

Lu Qi said again: "If I say that Navis is smarter than you two combined, you guys won't believe it."

Mellie and Keson still didn't answer.

"Well, if you can answer a few questions, I'll let you go."

As he said that, Lu Qi showed a smile.

Hearing this, Meili and Keson swallowed and nodded.

Immediately, Lu Qi asked the two siblings several questions that he had asked Navis before.

But when the first question, how sound is transmitted, was asked, the two of them were already a little confused.

Then Lu Qi asked three or four questions one after another, and both Meili and Kesen were confused.

After hemming and hawing for a long time, no answer came.

How does sound travel, how is it diffused, how is it enhanced.

Isn’t sound just sound?

It spreads from the mouth, spreads from the mouth, and intensifies from the throat.

Of course, the two siblings swallowed this answer back in their stomachs. They felt that something would happen if they said this.

Seeing the confused expressions on their faces, Lu Qi said calmly: "Navis can answer all these questions."

Upon hearing this, the two siblings couldn't help but believe it.

Can that stupid Navis answer these questions?

"So, you two are not very thoughtful and stupid." Lu Qi chuckled, "I have lived with her in the same family for so many years, and you can't even see these advantages."

If anyone else had said that, the two of them would have scolded each other.

But now, Meili and Kesen can only hold it in, with a somewhat aggrieved expression.

Is there any solution?

Navis stayed at home all year round, and her house was boundless. Even if they wanted to find out, they had no chance.

Who knew that she could know so much despite being so humble.

Although the two were still very skeptical.

But I also know that they probably won't be able to escape.

In this way, Meili and Coson were placed as subordinates to Navis and were responsible for assisting her in all her work.

Naturally, Navis cannot rely on her alone for printing. She can feel more relaxed if there are two people assisting her.

As for now, they need to change their clothes and drink some water.

Looking at the backs of the two siblings, Lu Qi felt a little emotional for a moment: "In such a big family, it is inevitable that there will be one or two uneducated people."

"?"

Seeing Lu Qi's eyes gradually moving over, Lux immediately raised a question mark and said angrily, "Why are you looking at me when you say this?"

Lu Qi looked away again: "I wasn't looking at you."

Lux raised her eyebrows and became even more unhappy. She snorted and said, "No matter how uneducated I am, I am still better than the two of them. Teacher Morse said that I am actually very smart, but I just don't study hard." .”

Hearing this, Lu Qi couldn't help but asked curiously: "Then why don't you study seriously?"

"I'm so smart, why should I study seriously?"

When Lacus raised her head and said this, her whole body seemed to be shining with the light of wisdom.

Lu Qi looked at her for several seconds and suddenly sighed: "Miss Crown Guard, I discovered an advantage in you."

Lux blinked and was very curious: "What is it?"

So Lu Qi said: "Your advantage is that you believe everything others say."

This time he underestimated the wisdom of Miss Crown Guard.

She actually understood the meaning of this sentence immediately, and then glared over in anger.

So the topic stopped here.

At noon.

The Menke family learned about the visit of His Royal Highness, and the clan members warmly entertained him.

Of course, there are also Lux, Fiona, and Kashina.

No matter which item the three of them bring out, they will be warmly received.

The four of them visited together this time, and the Menke family couldn't help but be a little surprised when they learned that they were here for Navis.

I'm afraid none of the younger heirs in the family would have such expressions.

They didn't ask for more details, but even if they asked again, Lu Qi wouldn't tell them.

When he proposed to rent the Menke family's workshop, the Menke family immediately said that Lu Qi could use it as he pleased.

So Lu Qi accepted it.

The main reason is that it takes some time to find a workshop outside, and it may not necessarily be of the level of the Menke family.

You know, as a family of craftsmen, the Menke family's workshops are top-notch.

Whatever you want is there.

So if you can stay here, you can save a lot of extra expenses.

Soon, after having a decent lunch.

In the afternoon, the production of typefaces began again.

The so-called lead type is a thin iron bar similar to a seal, with words engraved on one end.

To achieve rapid printing, there are only two laborious processes. One is the production of typeface, which requires a certain amount of energy.

The other one is the printing press.

Demacia has no electricity, so the only thing that can be used is a human-powered printing press.

The concept that Luqi will give Navis is a hand-operated printing press, which drives the operation of the entire printing press by turning gears.

It might take someone else a while to understand.

But what surprised Lu Qi was that it didn't take much time for Navis to understand what he meant.

Until 2:30 in the afternoon, the printing work was still running closely.

This time, Navis also had the help of Mellie and Coson. Before that, she also received serious apologies from the two.

For this, Navis forgave them.

In fact, she was not bullied much. After all, it was mostly verbal bullying, and it actually did not cause any harm to her.

Growing up without the protection of her father, Navis's heart is stronger than others think.

So this article has been read.

Lux and the other three also helped out in the afternoon. Although they didn't know how to operate the things on the workbench, they were able to get started and act according to the instructions.

In response, Lu Qi lay on the chair and enjoyed the afternoon leisurely.

After all, his job is mental work and he is already very tired.

About half past three.

The first typeface was made.

Navis walked to Lu Qi with the lead note and carefully tried to wake him up.

Before she could speak, Lu Qi had already opened his eyes and woke up. He glanced at it and asked, "Are you ready?"

"Well, according to His Highness's wish, I made one first." Navis handed over the lead note in her hand and asked, "Is that so?"

Lu Qi took it and what he held in his hand was a lead type strip about four centimeters and no thicker than a fingernail. Looking from the head, you could see the lines of a font.

Immediately, he nodded and said: "Basically the same, just follow this for the rest."

Seeing that he thought there was no problem, Navis breathed a sigh of relief, and her heart became more and more motivated.

As a craftsman, she would naturally feel excited as she watched her ideas come to fruition step by step.

With such confidence, Navis returned and continued production.

From now on it will be easier, because the mold for the lead strips is already made and all you need to do is carve out the lettering.

Moreover, Meili and Keson, who have some experience in this job, can also do it.

In order to speed up, Lu Qi decided to use the two nearby workshops as well.

In this regard, Meili and Kesen had some difficulties.

Sensing his hesitant expression, Lu Qi asked, "What's wrong? If you have anything to say, just say it."

Seeing that he saw it, Meili smiled apologetically: "The third one is our eldest brother's special workshop. He usually doesn't let others enter easily, and he told us to keep an eye on it before he left."

Coson also nodded.

Neither of them dared to go to the third one.

The eldest brother in question is naturally the Jared mentioned before, the one who has entered the palace as a minister and seems to have been on a business trip abroad recently.

While they were talking, Lu Qi had already opened the door of the third workshop.

When the light shines in, it is indeed very clean inside, and many tools are neatly placed.

The lighting conditions look better than the previous two.

"That's right. You two go and tell Navis to move here. This workshop will be requisitioned by me in the future."

Lu Qi glanced inside with satisfaction, and raised his hand to signal the two siblings to call Navis.

"this"

"Brother asked about it later."

The two of them still hesitated.

Lu Qi looked over and said casually: "If he has any opinions, let him come and tell me in person."

These words were very domineering and full of meaning that could not be refused.

Meili and Keson naturally didn't dare to say anything.

So just like that, all three workshops were requisitioned by Lu Qi.

Used to speed up printing progress.

Seeing that there was progress here, Kashina stood up and prepared to leave.

Because Lu Qi's primary partner is the Illuminator Church, she not only has to talk to her family about this, but she also has to start making preparations in other aspects in advance.

Just last night she thought this might take some time.

But I didn't expect that there would be such progress on the first day, and it seemed like it wouldn't take long.

Before leaving, Kashina looked at Lu Qi and suddenly said: "Your Highness, can you see me off?"

Lu Qi realized that she seemed to have something to say to him alone, so he stood up and followed her: "Then let's go."

It's a nice day outside and the sun is shining brightly.

The two walked side by side on the road, but it was a long way.

Kashina, who first asked Lu Qi to see her off, never took the initiative to speak. She looked at the road ahead and was very quiet.

Lu Qi waited silently.

In fact, Kashina was very entangled and anxious in her heart at this moment.

The girl kept reminding herself, Kashina, say something quickly!

After looking for an opportunity all morning, I finally called Lu Qi out alone.

However, at this juncture, I didn't know what to say.

Kashina was extremely nervous at the moment. She wanted to glance at Lu Qi secretly, but found that she couldn't even turn her head.

He just lowered his head, looked at the road ahead, and walked step by step.

Seeing that the door of the Menke family had appeared in front, Kashina finally plucked up the courage and said: "Your Highness, regarding yesterday's matter, on behalf of the Illuminator of the church, I thank you."

Lu Qi, who thought it was something, smiled and said, "Didn't I already thank you yesterday?"

Kashina lowered her head and said, "It's different. I also prepared a thank you gift today."

Hearing this, Lu Qi said nonchalantly: "It doesn't matter if you don't give me a thank-you gift or something."

Kashina raised her head, ran in front of Lu Qi, blocked his way, and said with a somewhat insistent expression: "No, I must send it!"

I don't know if it was due to the sun, but her face looked redder than usual at the moment. Her white and rosy face was very moving, and her clear blue eyes were also twinkling.

Seeing her serious look, Lu Qi stopped and asked curiously: "What gift?"

As he finished speaking, he was stunned.

Kashina took a step forward while he was speaking, raised her head, and quickly pecked him on the face.

After a while, the girl stepped back, her face even redder, but she still looked boldly into Lu Qi's eyes, smiled and said: "It's just a thank you, don't think too much about it."

After saying that, he turned around, ran outside, and got into the carriage.

The carriage drove away quickly.

"You tell me not to think too much?"

Lu Qi's expression was a little puzzled now.

The little comrade is conducting a sneak attack!

He couldn't tell for a moment whether he had taken advantage or whether he had been taken advantage of.

If he had been just one centimeter to the left, he would have been kissed on the mouth.

Who is a good person who uses kiss as a thank you gift?

And you can kiss her and run away, woman, you are playing hard to get with your brother, right?

Scratching his head, he looked back.

If the thank-you gifts are like this in the future, then I have to do more good deeds.

Thinking this, Lu Qi turned around and walked back at a slow pace.

At this time, on the speeding carriage.

Kashina covered her hot face, her heart was beating loudly, and she was cursing herself for not living up to expectations.

I had obviously been mentally prepared all night, but I still gave up at the last second.

Then she spat at herself: "Idiot! I kissed you just now."
