Chapter 9 The Plan Failed

Shen Miaomiao got up early to prepare for today's appointment. Shen Miaomiao arrived just after Si Ning finished breakfast.

Si Ning hurriedly went out to greet her, "Miaomiao."

"Aning." Shen Miaomiao was a little nervous when she came to the eldest princess's mansion for the first time.

She had never had many acquaintances, but yesterday she made Si Ning as a friend at the banquet, and she was very happy.

After she returned, she told her father and mother about her invitation to the eldest princess's house.

As soon as Mrs. Shen heard that her daughter's friend was Princess Changle and that she was going to the eldest princess's mansion tomorrow, she started to panic. Seeing the trembling look on her face, Shen Miaomiao also became nervous.

Before Shen Miaomiao went out this morning, Mrs. Shen also gave many instructions, telling her to be careful in the eldest princess's mansion and not to offend the nobles.

Fortunately, Master Shen on the side comforted her a few words and told her not to worry. Although the eldest princess's family was powerful, they were not unreasonable people.

In this way, Shen Miaomiao relaxed slightly after spending the whole night.

But as soon as she stepped into the eldest princess's mansion today, she was even more nervous with the sight of five steps to the first floor and ten steps to the pavilion, surrounded by flowers and carved beams.

Along the way, she tried her best to suppress her exclamation. In fact, the eldest princess's mansion looked even more luxurious than the palace.

But this is a lie. No matter what, the Princess's Mansion cannot be more luxurious than the Royal Palace. After all, the rules are there.

It's just because Shen Miaomiao has only entered the palace once before, and she went to Taoyuan through a small road, so she has never seen the true appearance of the palace.

"Aning, your house is really big."

Seeing familiar people, Shen Miaomiao's nervousness gradually relaxed.

Si Ning took Shen Miaomiao's hand and walked into the house, "It's indeed quite big, but there's no benefit in being too big. If you go out, you'll have to walk a lot more than others."

Hearing what she said, Shen Miaomiao laughed out loud, and any remaining nervousness disappeared completely, "Only Aning would say that."

"Have you had breakfast?"

"I used it at home."

"Mommy, prepare some snacks and tea for us. I want to have a good chat with Miaomiao." Si Ning said with a smile.

"Yes, I will prepare now, Luzhu, and serve the princess and Miss Shen well." Nanny Li said with a smile.

Si Ning took Shen Miaomiao to her study. Luzhu was a little surprised to see the princess leading Miss Shen into the study.

The princess doesn't like to write or write, so this study is just a decoration for the princess, and she rarely goes there on weekdays.

"Let's go to the study and talk."

The matter we want to talk about today is business, and Si Ning thinks it needs to be said in a serious place.

"good."

As soon as she entered the study, Shen Miaomiao was attracted by the decoration of the study.

Although Si Ning didn't like to write or write, all the furnishings in the study were still according to her preferences. There was a soft couch by the window, and a thick blanket was spread on the floor.

The furnishings in the house are all exquisite, but what attracts Shen Miaomiao the most is the wall full of books.

"Aning, you have a lot of books here." Shen Miaomiao said blankly.

Looking at Shen Miaomiao's appearance reminded Si Ning of the first time she came here in her previous life. At that time, she was also fascinated by this whole page of books.

"have a look?"

"Okay." Shen Miaomiao said, walking into the bookshelf and looking through the books on it.

Even though he was reborn, Si Ning still felt the same as before when he looked at the books on this wall. He felt like falling asleep after just one glance.

Shen Miaomiao was the complete opposite of Si Ning. She held a few books in her hands and her eyes lit up as she read them.

"I don't like reading. If you like something, you can take it home and read it."

Shen Miaomiao's eyes lit up and she turned to look at Si Ning, "Really?"

She found that there were all types of books on Aning's bookshelf. What she was holding in her hand were a few books on water conservancy that she was interested in. You must know that there are not many books on water conservancy construction from ancient times to the present.

There were even fewer that she could see, because many of them had become orphan copies.

"Of course, I won't read these books if they are kept here. It would be a waste of money. If you like them, you can take them all with you when you go back."

"Thank you, Aning. I'll send it back after reading it." The smile on Shen Miaomiao's face made Si Ning feel soft in his heart.

At this moment, Nanny Li walked in with tea and snacks.

After putting down the snacks, Grandma Li saw that the princess and Miss Shen were chatting happily. She glanced at Dewdrops and motioned for her to follow her out.

Si Ning was just thinking about how to get rid of the dew when she saw Nanny Li taking her out.

She pulled Shen Miaomiao to sit down and said, "Miaomiao, have some snacks and some tea."

"A-Ning, didn't you say you asked me something yesterday?" Shen Miaomiao put the book on the other corner of the table and asked.

"I really have something to ask Miaomiao for help." Si Ning stood up and said, "Miaomiao, wait a moment, I will get something."

As he spoke, Si Ning stood up and took down a box from the book shelf at the back, opened the box and took out a map.

She walked to the desk, spread out the map, and Shen Miaomiao also walked over.

"This is the map of the Great March?" Shen Miaomiao said in surprise.

Such a detailed map can be regarded as a military secret of the Great Expedition. No wonder Shen Miaomiao would be surprised.

"Yes." Si Ning drew a line across the Yellow River on the map with his hand, "Miaomiao, look here, this is the Yellow River. Almost every year, the Yellow River breaks its banks on a small scale. Do you think there is any way to build embankments to prevent the Yellow River from flowing anymore? Burst?"

"This?" Shen Miaomiao didn't expect that this was what Aning asked her to do. "Aning, you think too highly of me. There are so many ministers in the Ministry of Water Resources who can't completely solve the problem of the Yellow River bursting its banks, let alone Not to mention me."

Si Ning was a little discouraged when he heard this. Yes, no matter how talented Miaomiao is in water conservancy, she is just a sixteen-year-old girl now. Even if she really has a suitable method, who will believe her if she says it.

Si Ning couldn't help but feel a little depressed, she took it for granted.

Seeing Si Ning's dejected look, Shen Miaomiao was also a little confused. Why would Aning ask herself this?

"Aning, don't worry. The Ministry of Water Resources will naturally take care of the flooding problem in the Yellow River. Last year, the imperial court sent people to repair the dams around the Yellow River. It has not been completed yet. I think it should be almost done by the end of the year.

After this repair, I think there will be no problems in the next five years."

Although she didn't know why Aning was troubled by this matter, Shen Miaomiao still comforted her.

"Yeah." Si Ning responded in a daze. Looking at Shen Miaomiao's worried look, Si Ning still raised a smile, "It's okay, I just heard you say that you know something about water conservancy, and I wanted to test you. "

Hearing what she said, Shen Miaomiao breathed a sigh of relief, Aning was fine.
