Chapter 190 Wang Fugui is here again!
This night was very torturous. Although Yangming Town was close to the capital, it still took a long time to pass on the news!
Lin Xiaoyue didn't sleep well at night. She was worried about Liang Jingyao and the situation in the capital. Anyway, she got up before dawn.
She did not go into the kitchen to cook, but pulled Chen Yunyun to make homemade bombs together. She moved very quickly and made more than a dozen in a short time, but she did not stop to rest. She lowered her head and watched the homemade bombs taking shape in her hands very seriously.
Chen Yunyun knew what was on her mind and spoke to her comfortingly, "Sister Lin, there's been no new news all night. The Princess and Young Master Jiacheng should be fine. Don't worry!"
Lin Xiaoyue sighed deeply and said, "That's not necessarily true. Maybe Empress Dowager Yan is still in the palace begging Emperor Liang!"
Chen Yunyun counted and found that the two of them had made nearly fifty. There weren't many materials left on the ground. She stood up and said, "At the moment, no news is the best news! I'm going to make breakfast first. We're running low on materials for making homemade bombs. After breakfast, Zhan Tian and I will go buy some more!"
Lin Xiaoyue waited anxiously for news from the capital, nodded and said, "Okay, be careful when you go out!"
After breakfast, Chen Yunyun went to the street with Zhan Tian. Lin Xiaoyue did not go to eat. She sat on the homemade bomb until the last bit of materials were used up. Then she stood up and went to find Zhan Ying.
At this time, Zhan Ying was leading the other brothers of the Silver Slash Guard for morning exercises. He stopped when he saw Lin Xiaoyue approaching and said, "Miss Lin, are you looking for me?"
Lin Xiaoyue nodded and said, "That's right. What did you say when you went to see the county magistrate last night?"
Zhan Ying replied, "The county magistrate has agreed to cooperate with us, Miss Lin, don't worry."
Lin Xiaoyue finally felt a little better. She continued, "I made over sixty homemade bombs. You can take fifty to the Cheetah Army first. I'll make a few more this afternoon after Yunyun and Zhantian buy the materials. Then you can take a few dozen to the city gate."
Zhan Ying clasped his fists and said, "Yes, I obey your command!"
After explaining everything, Lin Xiaoyue felt at ease and went back to have breakfast.
Because Chen Yunyun had delivered breakfast to Jiu Laoguai before leaving, Lin Xiaoyue grabbed a bucket of water and went straight into the study after eating.
The grape seeds that had been drying yesterday were already dry. She first poured some water into several large wooden boxes, then took the small wooden boxes out to fill them with soil. After filling each small box with soil, Lin Xiaoyue packed another bag of soil and took it back.
Back in the study, Lin Xiaoyue buried the grape seeds one by one in the soil, placing them neatly in rows. Afterward, she sprinkled a thin layer of soil on top and finally placed the small box on top of a larger box that was partially filled with water. The soil would automatically absorb the water below, making it very convenient.
In this way, Lin Xiaoyue planted a total of four boxes.
However, because the weather is cold now, Lin Xiaoyue wants to build a greenhouse for these grape seeds. She took out the three materials she had bought before and picked out some soft wood from the firewood pile in the kitchen.
Then she inserted one end into the soil of the wooden box, slightly bending it, and inserted the other end into the opposite side. Because the box was not big, she only inserted three sticks into one box.
After inserting all four wooden boxes, Lin Xiaoyue was not sure which waterproof material was suitable, so she simply tried one type for each box.
The umbrella's leather tissue paper had been rubbed with waterproof tung oil, so she covered it directly on the curved wooden strips, covering it tightly from front to back and left to right.
The snow-white silk and ramie cloth had no waterproof effect, so Lin Xiaoyue first brushed them with barrel oil, and then covered them after they dried.
There was one last box. Lin Xiaoyue did not use such a complicated method. She simply covered it with a torn cotton coat.
Lin Xiaoyue feels that if you grow something to sell and don’t control the cost during the planting process, it will be easy to misunderstand the price when the product is put on the market.
After all, she thought she was not a greedy businessman. Although she wanted to make money from the rich and powerful, she also wanted to let ordinary people eat grapes.
It will take some time for the seeds to sprout, and this side of the table is more easily exposed to the sun, so before Lin Xiaoyue left, she neatly arranged the boxes on the table.
At this time, Chen Yunyun and Zhan Tian also came back with the materials, and Wang Fugui came back with them.
Seeing the dusty Wang Fugui, Lin Xiaoyue quickly welcomed him into the west wing, "Manager Wang, my father is in the room. Let's go inside and talk!"
Wang Fugui nodded. After entering the room, he bowed and then spoke, "Yesterday, the Empress Dowager went to the Heavenly Prison to rescue Young Master Jiacheng, but the prison inmates didn't give her face. Furious, the Empress Dowager went to Emperor Liang to argue, but the Emperor refused to see her, claiming he was seriously injured and unconscious. In the end, the Empress Dowager had no choice but to kneel outside the palace!"
Lin Xiaoyue asked in shock: "What? Are you telling the truth? What about now? Has the dog emperor come out to see the queen mother?"
Wang Fugui gritted his teeth and said angrily, "No! Even though the court officials were alarmed and many came to plead for the Queen Mother and the Princess, Emperor Liang didn't show up! Before I came, the master told me to tell you that he would leave one-third of the Cheetah Army for you, and the rest must follow him to rescue people!"
Lin Xiaoyue was suddenly panicked. The eldest princess and Master Jiacheng were both relatives of Brother Liang, and she really couldn't say anything like "don't let him go."
However, the imperial palace in the capital is the territory of Emperor Liang, and the incident happened suddenly. The Cheetah family suffered heavy losses in the previous attack on Yangming Mountain. Now, even if all the Cheetah soldiers go, there are only more than a hundred people. Can they really rescue them?
Lin Xiaoyue thought it over and said, "We've made a lot of homemade bombs. If anyone dares to come, we'll blow them up! Let's leave the Cheetah Army to Brother Liang! Also, don't we still have the Jianghu Order? If all else fails, Brother Liang can go find the Order Master. Using the Cheetah Army is a last resort!"
Wang Fugui sighed and shook his head, saying, "My master went to see the Jianghu Order yesterday, but he said the beads didn't fly into the wall, so he couldn't take the deal! My master said he could offer 333,333 taels of gold, but he still refused! So this time we can only rely on ourselves!"
Lin Xiaoyue angrily slammed her hand on the table and cursed, "What a bullshit commander! He's a complete coward! He simply feels that the hope of rescue is slim and refuses to accept it! Shopkeeper Wang, are the capital and the palace under heavy security right now? Has the damn emperor sent in more troops?"
Wang Fugui nodded and said, "My master said it was several times more! He originally wanted to go into the palace to poison the person himself, but later found that the palace was heavily patrolled by guards. So he had to go to Master Jiacheng. Master Jiacheng told him that Zhao Hongling was going to the palace to express her gratitude yesterday, so my master disguised himself as a sedan bearer and followed her into the palace."
