Lin Jinyue slept comfortably until noon the next day.
The crab meat buns and shrimp dumplings she ordered were also delivered.
Lin Jinyue casually gave some pointers on the ice-making technique, and then stayed in the camp for two more days, under the pretext of helping them improve.
But she just eats and drinks, and will only give some advice when she is in a good mood.
Gu Shao's condition had improved a little in the past two days, so Lin Jinyue did not stay long and prepared to go to the governor's mansion to inquire about the news of the Gu family.
Before leaving, she also promised Xie Hong: "You want a telescope? This is a bit troublesome. I have sent someone to buy it. I don't know how long it will take, but I can give you the blueprint of the crossbow."
But this blueprint is not for the most advanced crossbow.
These are the drawings made for Gu Shao.
The quantity they provided was limited, and Xie Hong had already been eyeing it.
Xie Hong nodded: "If you can give me these two things, I can satisfy any request you have in the future, except taking him away."
Lin Jinyue looked at him with some distrust: "You wouldn't deliberately abuse him while I was away, right?"
"Will the meal be enough to fill you up?"
"You... aren't jealous of him?"
With every word, Xie Hong's expression became uglier.
Xie Hong gritted his teeth and said, "Don't worry, don't break your promise. I will treat him well. But if you haven't come for half a month, no, ten days, then I can't say for sure."
Lin Jinyue rolled her eyes wildly in her heart, thinking, let it be that he misunderstood.
Apart from these methods, she didn't know how to make Gu Shao's life a little better.
But she was really worried that Xie Hong was petty and would kill Gu Shao before she could save him.
After a good night's sleep, Lin Jinyue's thoughts became much clearer.
She is going to go with the flow now, even if it means sacrificing a little of her reputation. Then she can play the emotional card and instigate the Gu family to take action against Xie Hong and protect Lingnan.
In this way, she can continue to live peacefully in Yunhe Village, doing scientific research comfortably and improving their family's living standards.
Lin Jinyue also drew a pancake for Xie Hong, and then she felt at ease to leave in the carriage to the governor's mansion.
Xie Hong is really arrogant and doesn't take Lin Jinyue seriously at all.
So much so that he did not send anyone to keep an eye on Lin Jinyue, and even relaxed his guard against Gu Shao, only putting him in shackles and handcuffs.
It’s just that sometimes Xie Hong would hold a grudge in his heart and deliberately ridicule Gu Shao in front of everyone.
To Gu Shao, these were nothing more than trivial matters.
He originally thought that leaving the cell was good enough, but he didn't expect that he would be able to contact his former subordinates.
Although they are all soldiers of low rank.
After all, I can contact the outside world.
After learning that Xie Hong had been messing around recently, Gu Shao frowned tightly.

When Lin Jinyue arrived at the governor's mansion in Xie Hong's carriage, everyone in the mansion was shocked.
The people in the mansion did not dare to neglect it and went to find Xiao Fengling immediately.
Upon hearing the news, Mr. Tan and his colleagues hurried out to greet them.
Although I knew that Lin Jinyue had a farm and could visit it freely, I was still worried.
When they came out, they saw Lin Jinyue still ordering Xie Hong's servant to pick her up in five days.
Xiao Fengling was almost doubting his life.
Xie Hong was arrogant and domineering. As he was a general of the third rank and had a special mission from His Majesty, he almost acted arrogantly in Lingnan.
Even Xiao Fengling, the governor of Lingnan, was respectful to Xie Hong's servant.
I'm afraid I'll cause trouble for them at this critical moment.
Xiao Fengling was still a little bit unbelievable.
Lin Jinyue saw Xiao Fengling's expression, guessed what he was thinking, and continued: "It's just an exchange of benefits. Let's not talk about this for now. I have something important to do."
After Xiao Fengling learned about Yunhe Village from Old Tan, he had great respect for Lin Jinyue's family.
When Lin Jinyue mentioned that she wanted to check the situation of Gu Shao's family, Xiao Fengling hurriedly took out a letter and showed it to Lin Jinyue.
"This is a copy." Xiao Fengling explained.
When Lin Jinyue saw it, she thought that the letter was most likely intercepted by Xiao Fengling from the post station.
It roughly said that one should try to get the Gu family exiled to Lingnan to make it easier for Xie Hong to get things done.
Lin Jinyue looked at him and frowned.
Xie Hong is so petty that he actually wants to kill the Gu family.
The Gu family was exiled to the north, but at least they still had a way to survive. After all, several generations of their family had served in the army, and going to the north was not too tragic.
Xie Hong knew this and deliberately had them exiled to Lingnan.
However, this is convenient for Lin Jinyue.
Xiao Fengling said: "I have some friendship with the Xie family, so I asked around privately, but Xie Hongyi didn't tell me. I only found out that the Xie family would take a boat to Lingnan, probably exiled to the mine near Fuxi Town."
False Creek Township...
Lin Jinyue thought for a moment and said, "Then isn't it too far from our Yunhe Village?"
Xiao Fengling nodded, "It should be about the same. Your village...be careful recently. I'm worried that Xie Hong will do something wrong."
The reason Xiao Fengling is so dedicated is not because he has a good relationship with Lin Jinyue.
The main thing is that his wife is still in Yunhe Village.
It is for this reason that Xiao Fengling pays special attention to these matters.
When Xiao Fengling looked at Elder Tan, he hesitated and said, "I have asked people in the capital. The Tan family was exiled with the Gu family. There are 70 or 80 people in the Tan family, but..."
He hesitated for a while, and then said, "I just don't know if we will be exiled to Lingnan together this time."
After hearing this, Mr. Tan suddenly became anxious.
Recently, his temper has also begun to flare up. Tan Laochu scolded the dog emperor: "I have resigned and returned to my hometown, and my two sons have been demoted. Even in this situation, how can I still be afraid of those people?"
Lin Jinyue saw that he was shaking with anger and almost fainted.
He quickly stepped forward and pressed the acupoints on Mr. Tan to relieve the depression in his heart.
If he doesn't get so angry, he will hurt himself sooner or later.
Lin Jinyue comforted him, "Mr. Tan, you don't have to worry. If they go to the north and there are people to take care of them, we will send someone to pick them up and bring them back to Yunhe Village."
"If we had come to Lingnan together, we could have rescued them together."
Mr. Tan immediately felt relieved.
Seeing that Lin Jinyue's eyes were red, she also gave him a big gift.
Lin Jinyue quickly supported him.
Xiao Fengling began to ask Lin Jinyue about the plan.
It's not that he looked down on people, he just felt that Mr. Tan was a little desperate and was trying every possible means.
What can this little girl do?
No matter how powerful the Yunhe Village is, it will be difficult for them to face a real army.
He couldn't say it directly, so he could only ask Lin Jinyue about her plan.
Lin Jinyue said, "What's so difficult about this? I'm worried that Xie Hong might take action halfway, so I'll just send a ship to intercept him."
Mr. Tan's eyes lit up: "Is it the ship carrying...?"
Lin Jinyue nodded: "Yes, otherwise I can't rest assured."
Mr. Tan immediately breathed a sigh of relief, "I'll go with you."
Lin Jinyue said: "I won't go. I'll leave it to my brother and Uncle Dazhuang. I'll go to the military camp in a few days."
The monk Xiao Fengling standing by was puzzled.
What kind of charades are they talking about?
What ship? What's on it?
So mysterious.
