Chapter 253 Helping Uncle Get Back What Belongs to Him
Ye Tingxiao looked at Du Wanwan with burning eyes, and felt that Du Wanwan was particularly dazzling and eye-catching against the candlelight.
If the monarch of Dongchen Kingdom is his uncle, then Wanwan of his family is the legitimate princess, and she is also a princess who has made great contributions to the country and has a prominent status.
Although the musket was given to Dongchen, she still cared about Dawei and asked him to transfer the manufacturing technology unconditionally, so as to attribute the birth of the musket to Dongchen.
It has nothing to do with her. At such a young age, she has planned everything carefully. His Wanwan is indeed a fairy from the ninth heaven.
Every step is planned.
When he thought of this, Ye Tingxiao's originally cold face seemed incomparably gentle. There was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, and his obsidian-like eyes were filled with tenderness.
"Wan Wan! Uncle is rich, and giving us weapons is already very good. If you give me so much money, I feel ashamed to accept it."
Yao Xianqing's heart was filled with emotion, he was so moved that his eyes were wet, his nose was sore, and his voice was hoarse.
Who in the world could be so lucky as him? He actually had such a good niece who gave everything she had and did everything she could to help her uncle, just to give his eldest sister a chance to return home in glory.
His eldest sister is so lucky to have a caring daughter. He is so envious.
"Uncle! Governing a country requires a lot of money. These are my private savings. Please take them and don't tell my parents. This is a secret between us." Du Wanwan looked at Yao Xianqing sincerely. "This money is of no use to me. If you feel guilty about it, just think of it as a loan from Wanwan to you."
Ye Tingxiao stood beside Du Wanwan: "Uncle! Take it with you! It's better to be prepared. With money in hand, you will have the confidence to do things. Dongchen needs you, and more importantly, money."
Looking at the two caring children in front of him, Yao Xianqing turned his back, quickly wiped the tears from his face, turned around and smiled.
"Okay! Wanwan! Just think of it as your uncle lending it to you. I'll leave for Dongchen tomorrow. The sooner I get things done, the more at ease I'll be."
Du Wanwan nodded slightly: "That's what I meant. Disassemble the musket into parts and put them separately. Even if someone accidentally finds it, they won't be able to tell what it is. Uncle! Did you see clearly what I disassembled and assembled just now?"
"I can see it clearly." Yao Xianqing showed admiration in his eyes, "Wanwan's plan is good, and the design is also clever. When you disassemble it, you can really see what it is from a single component.
This way it is convenient to carry and safer on the road. If it really doesn’t work, my uncle will go to southern Xinjiang and find a solution.”
"Southern Xinjiang?" Ye Tingxiao looked at Du Wanwan hesitantly and reminded her, "This is a serious matter, Wanwan! You must use the favors you need."
Yao Xianqing was surprised: "What do you mean? Wanwan knows someone in Southern Xinjiang?"
"I once saved the lives of the Ninth Princess of Southern Xinjiang, Yu Hanyan, and her son on the way to escape famine. Your uncle is going through Southern Xinjiang with a large amount of gold and silver, so I'm afraid something might go wrong. Tomorrow I'll take you to Nantong Commercial Bank to find their manager and have the people from Nantong Commercial Bank escort you all the way back to Dongchen. This way it will be safer."
Hearing this, Yao Xianqing didn't know what to say. His Wanwan really came to save him and Dongchen.
He was worried that carrying so much gold and silver through southern Xinjiang would attract attention from all sides and bring him trouble, but he didn't expect that his Wanwan had arranged everything.
The Nantong Commercial Bank was opened by the Queen of Southern Xinjiang. In Southern Xinjiang, no one dares to take advantage of it easily.
Yu Hanyan is the Queen of Southern Xinjiang's most beloved youngest daughter. Wanwan saved her and her son's lives while they were fleeing famine. The Queen of Southern Xinjiang must be grateful to her.
Wanwan herself did not enjoy the life-saving grace, but gave it all to her uncle. He decided that as long as Dongchen got her back, his Wanwan would be the only princess of Dongchen.
"Wanwan! Uncle thanks you for your help."
Yao Xianqing clasped his hands together and bowed solemnly to Du Wanwan.
Du Wanwan laughed at this: "Uncle! You are embarrassing your niece! Where in the world would an uncle bow to his niece?"
"My Wanwan deserves it." Yao Xianqing put down his hand, his expression serious, "There is no other niece in the world who is as capable as you to help your uncle and take back what belongs to you."
Du Wanwan looked at Yao Xianqing in astonishment and did not mention the matter again. Instead, she quickly disassembled the musket and placed the disassembled parts in front of Yao Xianqing.
"Just in case, my uncle will assemble it once and learn it thoroughly before going back to find a craftsman to make it before using it. Gunpowder is made of saltpeter, which is not difficult. I will write down the production steps for you and give it to a skilled craftsman, who will definitely be able to mix it."
Yao Xianqing liked his niece's quick and efficient work. Under her gaze, he began to assemble the musket, and Du Wanwan gave some pointers on any parts that were not in place.
Yetingxiao also sat beside and learned carefully. He observed the appearance of each component meticulously, preparing to draw it when he got home.
He made one secretly without letting anyone know. This thing is so amazing, he likes it very much.
After thinking about it, no, this matter must be approved by his family Wanwan. If she doesn't agree, then forget it and don't make it for the time being.
In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Liangjun City has been targeted by the King of Qi. If he accidentally finds out about the existence of the musket, it might cause a bloody storm.
Who made him the prince's side?
But we can't bring danger to Wanwan, she likes a simple and ordinary life.
Under Du Wanwan's guidance, Yao Xianqing assembled a musket once. Afterwards, he disassembled it twice and assembled it twice by himself, remembering the position of every component firmly.
Afterwards, Du Wanwan asked Ye Tingxiao to find some old clothes, wrap up each part, scatter them in the jewelry box, and mark them.
Yao Xianqing was amazed and felt that his niece was really smart. She considered every detail of a matter very clearly from beginning to end.
He is meticulous, farsighted, and has a flawless plan. If he were a man, he would definitely be famous all over the world.
Now she lives in the small city of Liangjun City and runs a seemingly inconspicuous clinic, but she can make everyone in Liangjun City obey her.
No matter they were from wealthy families, officials, businessmen, or ordinary people, peddlers and hawkers, when they mentioned Dr. Du from the People's Hospital, they all gave him a thumbs up.
Now that he had come here, he had returned with a full load. Not only had he been given advanced weapons, but he had also been given a large amount of money. If he could not get back what belonged to him, he would be really sorry for his Wanwan.
This cold-looking little girl has given him great help in his life. He will definitely make good use of these things and sit in the position that originally belonged to him.
After all the parts of the musket were hidden, Du Wanwan was tired and sat down to rest.
Yao Xianqing followed and sat beside her: "Wanwan! I'm afraid that my uncle won't be able to come to Liangjun City to see you again when he goes back. Wait for my uncle to send someone to pick you up and take you to Dongchen. By then, my uncle will make you the Princess of Dongchen Protecting the Country."
