Chapter 412: Marshmallows Can Be Made
"Yes, Miss Xiao, stand further away." Xue Ren quickly put cotton armor on the scarecrow and retreated to the side, saying, "Donggui, is your aim good enough? No..."
With a 'bang', the bird gun in Donggui's hand went off. The bird gun hit the cotton armor, but nothing happened?
Xue Ren's eyes lit up!
As Donggui fired the bird gun one after another, Xue Ren couldn't wait to check. Eight of the ten shots hit the target, one hit the hand, and one missed the target.
Xue Ren took off the cotton armor. The scarecrow was not damaged at all. The cotton armor actually blocked the bird gun!
"Miss Xiao, this, this is a good thing!" Xue Ren looked at Mian Jia eagerly as if he was looking at silver!
No, it's better than silver!
This is fate!
There have been constant small movements on the border between Yongzhao and South Vietnam, especially Yongzhao got some bird guns from somewhere, which resulted in more casualties among the soldiers!
Xue Ren had never been to the battlefield, but he had seen with his own eyes those who were injured by bird guns, and every shot left a hole in their guns.
"How can something made by the young lady be bad?" Donggui was so proud as if she had made it, completely forgetting that she was not very optimistic about the cotton armor at first.
"Yes, Miss Xiao is not an ordinary person." Xue Ren nodded in agreement. If she were really an ordinary person, how could she catch the master's eye?
"Miss Xiao, is this cotton armor difficult to make?" Xue Ren looked at Xiao Jiuyue hesitantly and shamelessly. This kind of good thing should be a treasure, but Xue Ren really wanted this thing.
If the master has these things, it would definitely be a good thing!
The master's maternal grandfather's family is the Rouan tribe, which has ties with Yongzhao Jincheng. If a war really breaks out, the emperor might send the master's maternal grandfather's family to the battlefield!
At that time, won’t they have to protect their own families more?
Yes, many of their Anbu members are from the Rouan tribe, and they are ordered to protect Jun Lie.
"Compared to armor, it's not difficult. The most important thing is the iron sheet. I can't make cotton armor without iron sheets." Xiao Jiuyue directly stated her difficulties.
Blood Blade patted his chest and said, "Miss, we can make the iron sheet!"
The iron ore that was dug out from Shibazhai before is really good stuff!
"Okay, then you'll be responsible for providing the iron sheets, and I'll teach you how to make them!" Xiao Jiuyue made the decision immediately and said, "Don't we need to wait for the Third Prince to make a decision on this matter?"
"Miss Xiao, His Highness said that we must fully cooperate with whatever you want to do." Xue Ren was different from the indifference he had at the beginning. With a smile on his face, he could hardly hide the excitement in his heart.
Not to mention that Miss Xiao wants to make cotton armor, even if she wants to make marshmallows, they in the Anbu department have to make them for Miss Xiao!
…
"Is that kid Xue Lingxiao really working for the second prince?" The head of the Xue family said to several elder brothers of the Xue family. They were all from the side branches, and in Hongdu Mansion, they were all of the same blood!
"He's just talking nonsense, who knows if it's true or not?" Master Xue Liu asked, fan in hand, "Third brother, do you think that boy can return to Shengjing? Can the Zhuang family's marriage still be successful?"
The Xue family head fell silent and said, "I've asked Ling Chuan and Xue Han, and they should have the whole story. But, can the Zhuang family admit this?"
"If the banker refuses to acknowledge him, do you think Xue Lingxiao will suffer?" Fifth Master Xue said, "Let's wait and see. Anyway, we'll know whether he can return to Shengjing this year!"
"Old Five is right, we will just give him a few more months." The head of the Xue family also thought so. No matter whether Xue Lingxiao really worked for the second prince or whether the marriage with the Zhuang family could be successful, they could not kill Xue Lingxiao!
"Idiot, useless idiot."
It was of no use for Xue Lingxiao to be dragged to spar with Xue Lingchuan. Xue Lingchuan was just a playboy who could do nothing except eating, drinking and having fun. However, Xue Lingxiao could learn something in a place like Shengjing.
Xue Lingchuan was beaten by Xue Lingxiao. Xue Lingxiao wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said, "Xue Lingchuan, so what if he's a legitimate son from a side branch? Have you ever been to Shengjing? The highest official you've ever met is probably the prefect, right? I've met the emperor!"
After saying this, Xue Lingxiao walked away.
Xue Lingchuan pounded the ground in anger and ran to his father, the Xue family head, to cry and complain, but he was scolded instead: "They eat, drink and have fun too, and you eat, drink and have fun too. You are not as skilled as them, so what is there to say?"
The head of the Xue family looked at Xue Lingchuan with dismay. He had previously thought about getting close to Xue Lingxiao and might even let his son go to Shengjing in the future. But now...
Forget it. Xue Lingchuan has no brains and no skills. If he really goes to Shengjing, won’t he be devoured without leaving even a bone?
"Dad, are you still my real dad?" Xue Lingchuan felt even more uncomfortable when he heard his father's words of disdain.
Xue Lingxiao left the Xue Mansion and decided to go to the banker's house!
Ever since he made the mistake in Shengjing, his position in the Xue family has been awkward. Those people believed him on the surface, but in fact...
The servants were all opportunists. He was no longer as prosperous as before in the Xue family, and even the food he ate was not as good as before.
banker.
"No." Prefect Zhuang got a headache when he heard the name Xue Lingxiao.
"Master Zhuang." Xue Lingxiao successfully met with Prefect Zhuang in the evening and said, "I heard from Xianxian that Madam Zhuang is seriously ill. I specially brought a doctor here. Is Madam Zhuang feeling better?"
Xue Lingxiao pretended to know nothing and looked concerned.
Magistrate Zhuang remained expressionless and said, "He's recovering now."
"That's good. When Xianxian came back that day, she cried so hard, worried that something might happen to Madam." Xue Lingxiao took the initiative to speak.
The veins on Zhuang Zhifu's forehead were throbbing. It would have been fine if he hadn't mentioned it, but once he did, he became so angry that his teeth itched and his face turned cold. "Thank you, Master Xue, for your concern."
"It's my duty. After all, Xianxian and I are getting married at the end of the year. From now on, we will be a family." Xue Lingxiao's smiling face formed a sharp contrast with the cold expression of Governor Zhuang.
"Master Zhuang, there is something I want to mention to you, it's the matter of the salt wells in Lancang County." Xue Lingxiao didn't keep talking about Zhuang Xianxian, but instead mentioned the salt wells.
Prefect Zhuang looked at him, and Xue Lingxiao continued, "To be honest, I came to Hongdu on the orders of the Second Prince. I've been searching for salt wells, but unfortunately, I haven't found any. This time, going to Lancang County, I have a chance!"
Second prince?
Prefect Zhuang's eyebrows jumped, and then he thought about Xue Lingxiao's previous status in Shengjing, which meant he could have contact with the second prince.
"Since it's an assignment, do it well!" Prefect Zhuang comforted.
Xue Lingxiao was about to curse in his heart. This old fox was clearly very interested, but refused to bring it up. He could only take the initiative to bring it up: "Master Zhuang, the Second Prince takes this matter very seriously. If it is handled properly, Master Zhuang will be considered a well-known figure in front of the Second Prince."
