At this time, I learned that the girl brought Wen Kang to my house.
Qu Jiang understood what was going on, put down the pen in her hand, and went out to greet the person.
Qu Jiang is nearly forty years old, but he looks very young, with the air of a scholar. He grows a beard to show his majesty, adding a bit of calmness and wisdom.
Wei Xiyin explained her purpose and said with a look of shame, "Wen Kang is ignorant. I will discipline him strictly when I return. I also ask Principal Qu not to show mercy and punish him accordingly..."
"You are too kind, girl." Qu Jiang waved her hand.
Wei Xiyin said nothing more and pulled the child forward.
Wei Wenkang knew he couldn't escape, so he bowed obediently to Headmaster Qu. He said in a childish voice, "Headmaster Qu, I know I was wrong, and I won't do it again."
The little guy bent over and clasped his hands, looking chubby and very cute.
Qu Jiang nodded kindly, "To admit one's mistakes and correct them is the greatest virtue."
Although the child is young, he observes the rules and etiquette very well.
Wen Kang raised his head and glanced at his fifth aunt timidly. Seeing her encouraging smile, he felt a little relieved.
Qu Jiang turned around and told the girl what had happened in detail. "Master Qiu has been worried about this for several days, but from my private observation, Wen Kang has been very well behaved recently and has not caused any trouble in the school. You can rest assured, girl. I will tell Master Qiu to be bold in his education in the future..."
"I see..." Wei Xiyin was not familiar with the school's system. Upon learning that Master Qiu was Wen Kang's first teacher, she pleaded earnestly, "Master Qu, do you know where Master Qiu lives? I'd like to go there myself."
She will be very busy later on and may not be home for a long time.
Before leaving, I must take care of Wen Kang's education issues and make my attitude clear to Master Qiu.
It would be more effective to ask Qu Shanchang to pass on the message than to go there in person.
Qu Jiang nodded slightly and said, "It's in the South Third Alley inside the wall."
It’s getting late.
See that things are done.
Wei Xiyin had another conversation with Dean Qu, mainly talking about the performance of the young men and women of the Wei family in the school, and then she said goodbye.
Luo had been waiting outside the yard. When she saw someone coming out, she immediately went forward to accompany him.
Two adults and one child walked towards the door together.
Wei Xiyin had never gotten along with Luo Shi before, so thinking that she was Qu Qi's wife, she was very polite to her, "Sorry to bother you, sister-in-law."
"Thank you for your help. I'm sorry for the poor hospitality. Please bear with me." Mrs. Luo seemed a little reserved and waved her hands repeatedly when she heard this.
Wei Xiyin smiled at her, "Sister-in-law, don't be nervous. By the way, did Mr. Qu go to Shilin Village?"
Cookie had said before that she would go back to check first, but when she came over she didn't see anyone there, so she thought they must have left.
Luo Madam really said, "Not long after he left, he said he had something to do and had to go to the county town first."
Cookie went to the county town, naturally to find Wei Ting.
Although he was not fond of menial affairs, the girl had previously mentioned the matter of making horse armor for war horses. He happened to have some ideas, so he went to Wei Ting to share his views.
If you take the official road from Wubao to Shilin Village, you will have to pass through the county town.
The official road took a bit of a detour, but it was safer because there were many people along the way, and Wei's troops were patrolling everywhere.
Since the border wall was built, more and more people have been moving around outside, and people can be seen everywhere along the way.
It is the You hour.
Many people who had finished their work in the county town were preparing to return to the fort in groups to rest.
Some people from Zaoqiang County met Cookie walking against the flow of people on the road and greeted him.
"It's Mr. Qu who's back."
"Are you going to Shilin Village, sir?"
"It's so late, sir, why don't you take a day off to rest in the dock..."
Cookie saw a familiar face and paused slightly, nodding in response, "I'm going to the county town to take a look around. How is everyone doing in the fort?"
Upon hearing this, the people gathered around and replied in unison, "It's great. Now we have food to eat and work to do, our children can go to school, and we have hope for the future. We have always wanted to thank you, sir. If it weren't for your kindness, we wouldn't have such a good life now."
"Yes, yes, thank you sir for saving our lives and bringing us to the fort."
"Sir, I will never forget your kindness..."
"Thank you, sir. Please come to my house for a simple meal someday..."
Cookie was almost overwhelmed by the enthusiasm of the villagers.
He waved his hands repeatedly, "No need to be so polite, everyone. I have something else to do in the county town. Let's talk another day."
Cookie walked against the flow of people on the official road, and the people gradually walked away.
The two guards behind him quickly caught up.
Only a group of people were left standing there, looking at each other in bewilderment.
I don't know who spoke.
"Mr. Qu, why are you so quiet today? Is there something on your mind?"
"Yeah, I thought we'd have to talk for at least an hour..."
Cookie doesn't have any worries, he's just busy.
Thinking of helping the girl pay off her debt, he hurried back to Shilin Village to check on the progress. He also had to finalize the matter of making horse armor. Seeing that the sun was about to set, he really wished that a day could have twenty-four hours.
The city was also bustling with people coming and going. It was the time to get off work, and many people packed up their things and prepared to go home. Some people who had not finished their work went in groups to the public kitchen in the county town to eat.
Looking at the crowds of people everywhere, it feels like the atmosphere before the end of the world.
arsenal.
The craftsmen are busy at work.
Other workshops can finish work and rest on time, but they cannot.
Previously, due to lack of water and raw materials, the production of weapons was suspended for more than a month, and it was not until last month that it resumed normal operation.
Winter is coming, and the soldiers cannot wear thick warm clothes after wearing the rattan armor, which is not very suitable in cold seasons. The gap in the chain mail of the 3,000 Wei family soldiers needs to be filled as soon as possible. In addition, the weapons in the fort's armory have been diverted, and the inventory is seriously insufficient.
Wei Ting knew that his fifth cousin had already taken action against Zhongshan, and the operation to clean up Yizhou would probably begin soon.
When the temperature starts to drop next month, it will be a good time to clear out the zombie swarms everywhere.
Weapons and armor need to be in sufficient stock.
Including crossbow carts and single-wheeled fire chariots.
Wei Ting once again made some modifications to the fire chariot, increasing its range and stability. Its attack power against the enemy was significantly improved, but it was not yet able to launch explosives. If there was a mistake, it would likely cause serious casualties in the army.
When Cookie came over, he was a little surprised to see the bustling scene inside. There were rows of furnace rooms, and people were busy in almost every room.
Under the guidance of the craftsman, he quickly found Wei Ting.
Wei Ting was in the study checking the registration book sent by his eighth cousin, counting the number of weapons that needed to be transported back to the dock for replacement tomorrow.
This time when the troops and the Wei family army returned, some of the blunt weapons needed to be recycled and re-forged. A new batch of gun heads had been given to my eighth cousin to be distributed to the three camps.
He had just finished counting the quantities and was checking them.
Cookie entered the study and explained his purpose. "Warhorse equipment is crucial. I have some ideas. I just drew some blueprints at home and brought them here for you to see."
