Chapter 287
Master Lu wasn't entirely surprised by this, but he still had concerns: "Girl, your knife is indeed well-designed, but let's not even talk about whether the army would be willing to equip it. Just the fact that such a new thing is so easy to widely adopt..."
Master Lu was quite tactful in his words.
Fan Xiaoxiao smiled and nodded: "A mere sample won't do."
Getting them into service in the military is no easy task.
But as long as the product is good, it's not difficult for Fan Xiaoxiao.
As the governor of Qingzhou and a military commander, Yu Cheng couldn't possibly be unaware of the value of a good product. Even without the connection of his elder sister, I believe he would have given his approval.
Now that Master Lu has agreed to build it, all that's left is the practical implementation.
To test the actual effects and make improvements, we need someone who is good at wielding a knife and has plenty of free time.
Fan Xiaoxiao took two steps and punched her palm: "I've got it!"
She turned around and said, "Master Lu, you go ahead and strike the knife! I'll find someone to keep you company while you drink!"
...
...
Gu Chongtai couldn't find his wife in the study.
But Fan Xiaoxiao had too many things to do, and whenever she went out, she would soon return to her study.
He was stopped by his wife when she returned not long after.
Staring at his beloved wife's warm little hand, Gu Zhongtai wondered: Is my wife being so proactive today?
Before he could react, Fan Xiaoxiao pulled him outside.
"Madam...where are you going?"
Let's go for a drink!
"Huh?"
Gu Zhongtai was even more bewildered.
My wife's drinking etiquette is quite good.
I'd basically just get drunk and go to sleep, but the problem is, I don't have a high alcohol tolerance and I get drunk quickly!
She would drink with him; it was like the sun rising in the west.
It wasn't until I entered the iron foundry that I saw Master Lu.
Fan Xiaoxiao pressed him down onto the stool and said with a smile, "Master Lu, I'm leaving the man to you. You all eat and drink well! I'll go buy some more wine and meat."
"I'll be right back!"
As soon as I turned around, my collar was grabbed by a large hand.
Fan Xiaoxiao had no choice but to turn around and look at Gu Zhongtai.
The latter tugged at her sleeve: "You're leaving already? You haven't even explained what you're going to do?"
He acted as if he didn't want to hear what others had to say and wanted her to say it.
"..." Fan Xiaoxiao could only say, "Master Lu needs to improve a divine weapon and needs your help to see if it suits his hand."
Gu Zhongtai suddenly realized.
Sure enough, the person drinking with him wasn't his wife, but Master Lu.
Master Lu couldn't stop laughing at the young couple's commotion. He stroked his beard and said, "Alright, alright, no need to buy more wine. You two go and have a meal first."
"I haven't made a sample knife yet. I'll have someone call you over once I have."
"That makes sense." Fan Xiaoxiao thought about it and agreed.
She's just too impatient.
The two people walked out the door, where there was a pear tree.
It was during the flowering season, and the branches of the tree were covered with small white flowers, making it a truly beautiful sight.
A gust of wind blew, and the petals fluttered down to the ground.
Gu Zhongtai pulled her back.
Two people stood under the flowers.
"What?" Fan Xiaoxiao asked in surprise.
Gu Zhongtai didn't say anything for a moment, but first reached out and plucked the flower petals off her head.
Then he spoke up, saying, "I saw it all."
"Huh?" Fan Xiaoxiao was even more confused.
He lowered his gaze to her eyes, his long, beautiful fingers gently brushing against the tip of her nose: "Is it you who came up with these drawings again?"
"How did you know?" She stared wide-eyed, quite shocked.
My husband is not only handsome and skilled in martial arts, but he has also awakened a skill that allows him to predict the future!?
"Your handwriting is so bad it would make even the most brilliant calligrapher weep. I see it every day, how could I not recognize it?"
"..." Fan Xiaoxiao then remembered that she naturally needed to add annotations to the drawing of the Mo Dao.
My husband is so meticulous; how could I possibly hide anything from his eyes?
"Yes, yes, my husband is the most wise and mighty."
Gu Zhongtai was pleased with the flattery and gave it a knowing smile, saying, "Of course."
"only."
He then changed the subject: "You have so many things to do every day, but the task of figuring out swords and weapons should be left to the craftsmen."
"There are so many things to do in this world, Xiaoxiao, you can't manage them all."
"I won't allow it if you ruin your health."
He had long wanted to persuade her not to work so hard.
Now there's one more thing: Gu Zhongtai truly cares for her.
But if you just lecture her, she won't like it.
She then jokingly said, "You're really willing to sell your husband for a knife?"
"Alright." Fan Xiaoxiao sighed inwardly: "The situation in Qingzhou is unstable right now, and all sorts of rumors are circulating outside."
"I'm doing this so that we can win in the future."
She raised her hand and grasped his: "The imperial court is powerful, and we need better weapons and better equipment to make Qingzhou strong."
“I also hope that one day my husband can follow my brother-in-law into the capital and kill the dog emperor.”
If it weren't for the need to survive in this chaotic world, who would be willing to make so much effort?
Gu Zhongtai was moved but remained silent.
Under the pear blossom tree, he embraced her, secretly vowing in his heart that he would make her the happiest woman in the future.
...
...
In June, the sun shone brightly.
As temperatures soared, drought and famine spread throughout the Great Zhou Dynasty.
The people are suffering terribly and cannot survive.
They eat the dead and dig graves.
They exchanged children to eat, then ate women and the elderly.
Tragedy after tragedy struck.
More and more people who could no longer make ends meet rose up in rebellion against tyranny.
Also this month.
Qingzhou welcomed a grand wedding.
One is that Governor Yu Cheng married a concubine, Lady Mu. They had already paid their respects to Heaven and Earth, and this was just a belated ceremony.
The other pair is Bai Chaoyan and Xiahou.
The wedding of the male and female protagonists was a bit of a surprise to Fan Xiaoxiao.
According to the plot, there will actually be more twists and turns.
But perhaps, maybe, because Fan Xiaoxiao has changed history too much now.
As a result, the plot has long since deviated from its intended course by an unknown amount of time.
But seeing Bai Chaoyan dressed in her wedding gown, Fan Xiaoxiao was still very happy for them.
He then personally returned the hairpin that Bai Chaoyan had given him to her.
"How can that be?" The female lead was very principled; once something was given away, there was no reason to ask for it back.
Fan Xiaoxiao also knew about her stubbornness.
"If this is meaningful to you, then you should take it."
"No." Bai Chaoyan shook her head repeatedly.
She was really reluctant to give it away at the time.
But her persona won't collapse.
Fan Xiaoxiao said helplessly, "Consider it a loan to you."
She quickly came up with an excuse: "From now on, my wife will be Xiahou's wife."
“I’m also married now, so our children will become in-laws in the future.”
"From now on, no matter whose daughter gets married, please put this on her hair."
Bai Chaoyan was newly married, and upon hearing her request to get married ahead of time, her cheeks immediately turned bright red, for some reason.
"Mmm." Her eyes were full of gratitude for Fan Xiaoxiao, but her voice was very soft.
