Du Wanwan, a military doctor, overworked herself to death. When she opened her eyes again, she found herself branded a 'calamity star'—hated by everyone, facing a forced exodus, and expel...
Chapter 166 Such a good girl, you may not be able to find her even with a lantern
Du Jiang glanced at his proud daughter and suddenly became worried about Ye Tingxiao. If he really married his Wanwan, he might not dare to be fickle.
Don’t you see who his Wanwan is? She can even tame a wolf, so how can she not tame a prince?
Yetingxiao: “???” So in your eyes I’m not as good as a wolf?
Am I that bad?
Speaking of wolves, the little wolf cub that the Black Wolf King gave to Du Wanwan has grown up. Du Wanwan has been keeping it in the space, and Yaya is taking care of it.
Nourished by the spiritual spring water every day, it has a certain level of intelligence, the IQ of a five or six-year-old child. This time, Ye Tingxiao led the commando team to the expedition, and she planned to let the little wolf cub go out with her to gain some experience.
Maybe I can help him then.
Du Wanwan also gave it a name, Du Xiaoer.
Every night Yaya would let it out to guard the home, and would put it back in at dawn. The family didn’t know where it had gone and thought it was lost.
The younger brothers at home were sad for a few days. In fact, it was Du Wanwan who asked Yaya to put it in the space. The family runs a clinic. What if a wolf is kept at home and scares the patients?
Anyway, there are mountains in the space, so it’s not bad to let it live freely in it.
After all the wine was distilled, Du Jiang, Du Wenjun and Du Wanwan went back to their rooms to rest.
Ye Tingxiao brought the jar of wine back to the county magistrate's mansion. He did not enjoy it himself, but gave it to his father Ye Zhenghai.
His father has always loved wine and always liked to collect all kinds of fine wines. He dared to conclude that after tonight, all the fine wines in his father's collection would be defeated.
Ye Zhenghai, who was reading a military book, smelled the aroma of fine wine and couldn't help but look up at the jar of wine in his son's hand.
This kind of jar can hold ten kilograms. He often buys wine and knows how many kilograms of wine a jar can hold.
The smallest one is one jin, followed by two jin, five jin, and ten jin. There are also twenty jin and fifty jin wine jars, which are used for delivery.
Generally, gifts given to others are in packages of one or two kilograms; packages of five or ten kilograms are rare.
"Zhongyuan! Where did you get this wine?" Ye Zhenghai put down the military book in his hand, stood up, helped his son Ye Tingxiao to put the wine jar steadily on the table, and took a deep sip, "What a nice smell! What kind of wine is this?"
"I don't know. Miss Du hasn't picked a name yet."
The mouth of the wine jar was not sealed tightly, and the aroma of wine wafted out, tempting the wine worms in Ye Zhenghai's stomach to crawl out.
When you open the jar of wine, the rich aroma hits your nose. After taking another sip, you feel like you're getting drunk.
He picked up a clean teacup beside him, scooped up a cup, and drank it in one gulp. His eyes widened instantly: "This wine is really strong, fragrant and sweet, and the taste is mellow. Miss Du is really capable. She can actually brew such good wine."
Ye Tingxiao stood aside, with a smile on her lips: "As long as she wants to, there is nothing in the world that cannot be accomplished.
She originally intended to make disinfectant alcohol, but the concentration did not meet the requirements, but she accidentally brewed a strong liquor.
Father! I plan to form a partnership with her brother to organize all the people in our farm outside the city to make wine together. What do you think? "
Putting down the teacup, Ye Zhenghai was silent for a moment, then asked, "Did Miss Du agree?"
"I agreed." The smile on Ye Tingxiao's face gradually widened, "Wanwan is a sensible girl. I explained the reason and she agreed.
Her older brother is a good businessman. With her support, the people in the village will have a way to survive."
Ye Zhenghai sighed silently: "Those are the people who fought for the Ye family. They are just disabled and can no longer participate in the war. They have a way out and don't have to starve or freeze. It can be regarded as Miss Du's good deed for our family."
"Yes! My son thinks so too."
Ye Tingxiao poured another glass of wine for his father and handed it to him. Ye Zhenghai looked at it, picked it up, and drank it all again.
"Such a good wine, but it's a pity that no one drinks with it. Zhongyuan! How is your relationship with Miss Du going? Did she tell her about your illness? When will you be cured?"
After a slight pause, Ye Tingxiao picked up the teacup and scooped some wine for his father: "We are making relatively good progress. She estimated that my illness will be cured in about half a year."
"Really?" The worry on Ye Zhenghai's face disappeared, and his voice was filled with excitement, "Miss Du really said that? Will she be able to recover in half a year?"
"yes!"
Ye Tingxiao thought that he had deliberately postponed the date. In fact, the real date should be more than three months later. He just didn't want to tell the truth, fearing that he would not be well by then and disappoint his parents.
Give yourself more time. Even if something goes wrong, there will still be time to remedy the situation.
"Great!" Ye Zhenghai picked up the wine on the table and drank it again. "As soon as you recover, I will ask your mother to propose marriage. Miss Du is our family's benefactor, we can't let her run away. Such a good girl may not be found even with a lantern."
"Yes! My son always listens to his father." Ye Tingxiao frowned and hinted, "Wanwan said that she wants to be with her husband for the rest of her life, and my son has already agreed to her."
Ye Zhenghai had no objection to this: "That's your business, just make the decision. As long as we can marry Miss Du back, our Pingyang Marquis Mansion will definitely be promoted to a higher level in the future."
My future daughter-in-law is so capable. The production of the mechanical crossbow went very smoothly, and the heavy crossbow was also made. After testing, it was found to be extremely powerful.
The range can reach about one thousand meters. Once launched, it can cause mountains to collapse and rocks to collapse. It should not be underestimated.
The memorial has been delivered to the capital, and I believe it will cause a sensation in the court soon. This credit should be attributed to their Ye family.
To be honest, Ye Zhenghai felt unworthy of the honor, but since Miss Du refused to come forward to claim the credit, he and his son had no choice but to accept it.
Where did the crossbow come from? People in the capital don't know, but the people in the manufacturing department know, and they can't even lie. Everyone knows that he took it away. If you say it was invented by someone else, then where is this person?
If they can't hand over the person, it will be a crime of deceiving the emperor, and they might even be killed. It's better to take it and avoid complications.
"My son doesn't want the emperor to remember this. It's too much of a publicity, it must not be a good thing." Ye Tingxiao said what he was thinking, "Prince Qi is the eldest prince, and the crown prince is the legitimate son, but everyone knows what the emperor is thinking, he prefers Prince Qi.
This is not a good sign. I am afraid it will cause disputes. Father! There is something I have not had time to tell you. The King of Qi holds the silver mine. "
"What?" Ye Zhenghai was startled. "How did you know? Did you see it with your own eyes?"
"yes!"
Ye Tingxiao recounted everything that happened that night when he and Du Wanwan went to the villa in the suburbs. Of course, he did not tell everything in detail. He only mentioned what he could say and left out what he could not say.
He would never tell anyone about such a strange thing as taking away the silver, for fear of causing unnecessary trouble to his daughter Wanwan.
