Chapter 221: Design to Catch a Thief
It was difficult to start, but not impossible. Led by Qin Xiangnuan and the two of them having strong hands-on skills, a brand new carriage appeared in one day.
The crowd circled around the freshly-made carriage again and again.
"Cousin, this is ten feet long, right?" Qin Feng walked from the beginning to the end, and finally stopped at the end and stuck his head out to look at Qin Xiangnuan.
Qin Xiangnuan nodded, "This is spacious enough, and I can rest and relax on the way."
Everyone praised this carriage and said that the tires looked much stronger than before.
Of course, Qin Xiangnuan specially replaced the tires with five-foot-high ones for use on large trucks.
In this way, using this carriage as a model, everyone worked together to transform the other five carriages.
Just looking at the car was enough to amaze them, and the feeling was even greater when they made it themselves.
"Nuannuan, although I heard what you said, it's so expensive, you..." Qin Guang quietly pulled Qin Xiangnuan aside and asked in a low voice.
"Dad, it really is inexhaustible." Qin Xiangnuan chuckled, "I'm not lying to you. Besides, I've collected everything in the General's Mansion's storehouse. Dad should know that this is just a piece of cake for the General's Mansion."
Qin Guang was reassured by Qin Xiangnuan's few words. He also thought that money was just external possessions and it didn't matter if he lost it.
Then he continued to build the carriage.
Qin Xiangnuan watched Qin Guang leave, and when she looked away, she saw Jiang Lin coming from that direction.
"Nuannuan, do you really want to put so many night pearls in the carriage?" Jiang Lin always felt that one should be on guard against others.
Although this group of people had been together for several months, once their wealth was exposed, it was inevitable that everyone would have evil intentions.
Qin Xiangnuan lowered her head and saw the cloth bag in his hand. Inside it was the night-shining pearl that she had just given to Anliu. She told him to place one in each carriage and to leave enough for tents.
At this time, it was in Jiang Lin's hand. Judging from its shape, it should be one that he had not taken out yet.
Qin Xiangnuan reached out and took out a fist-sized night pearl. In the sunlight, it looked like just a simple pearl, but in the dark night, it could be like a bright lamp, dispelling all darkness.
"Do you remember what I told you?" Qin Xiangnuan asked Jiang Lin after putting away the beads.
Jiang Lin frowned slightly, then thought of what Qin Xiangnuan was referring to.
"You want to trick out the person who colluded with Kong Wunei and others to set the fire?" Jiang Lin said.
Qin Xiangnuan nodded. "It was you who reminded me that the fire started too easily. There must be someone among us who has no plans."
Jiang Lin asked, "But weren't you worried that Uncle Qin wasn't fully recovered yet, so you decided to ignore these trivial matters? Besides, those people wouldn't be so foolish as to covet the Night Pearl."
"That's exactly what I thought when you told me." Qin Xiangnuan pursed her lips, "But I saw a few people acting suspiciously just now. If I take out the Night Pearl, they'd better not dare to move."
Jiang Lin's brows relaxed. He thought that most of his worries about Qin Xiangnuan were unnecessary. When she wanted to do something, she would definitely think it through before taking action.
"Then I'll hand these over to Anliu." Jiang Lin said as he turned to leave.
Qin Xiangnuan opened her mouth to call out to him, but Jiang Lin happened to turn his head at that moment. "Who did you see?"
"I've talked to Anliu." Qin Xiangnuan took back her unspoken words and answered his question.
Jiang Lin nodded and left quickly.
Qin Xiangnuan didn't know why she wanted to apologize to Jiang Lin just now. Many times she made a decision on her own and then started to execute it without discussing it with others.
Jiang Lin never had any objection to this and accepted everything so naturally, but just now she saw a dark color flash across Jiang Lin's face, which made her want to ask him to stop.
But now that the person was gone, Qin Xiangnuan stopped thinking about it.
The carriage was finally completed before dark, and they could continue their journey tomorrow.
Qin Xiangnuan did not participate in the transformation that day, leaving Jiang Lin alone to supervise and guide, and she prepared a bonfire party for everyone.
When he saw the escorting officers coming, he stepped forward and said to them, "Thank you for your hard work."
"Miss San, please don't say that. This work isn't hard at all." Xu Jian said sincerely, "You're always so polite. How are we supposed to cope?"
Qin Xiangnuan smiled and said, "Now that you say that, I don't know what to do."
Xu Jian looked a little apprehensive. "Miss Third, we've known each other for quite some time. Just treat us as your own family and tell us what you need."
Qin Xiangnuan glanced at the other officials casually, and they all nodded, agreeing with what Xu Jian said.
"I understand." Qin Xiangnuan smiled, "You guys go wash up first, and then come over to eat. If you want to eat anything, you can tell me and I'll prepare it."
Qin Xiangnuan had already taken care of them enough, so how could they ask for more? They all shook their heads.
"Okay, go ahead." Qin Xiangnuan stopped talking without forcing her.
This bonfire party was the first time that so many people gathered together to eat. Usually, they would take the food and eat it themselves.
The place was bright and lively at this time. Qin Xiangnuan not only prepared cooked food, but also hot pot and barbecue ingredients.
The Qin family was not very familiar with these things, so they asked Qin Xiangnuan to go over and take a look from time to time.
"Nuannuan, I burnt this again." Liu held up a black skewer that was so dark that she couldn't even tell what it was.
"Mom, why don't you go and cook something to eat." Qin Xiangnuan smiled and took the food from her.
Qin Guang chimed in, "Yeah, it's better not to waste food."
A blush appeared on Liu's face. She patted Qin Guang lightly and walked to the group where Old Madam Qin was.
"Nuannuan, should we take back the beads in the carriage?" Qin Guang looked at the carriages that surrounded him. All of them were brightly lit. In the darkness, it seemed as if they were waiting to be snatched.
"Dad, the brightness is just right now. I'll put it away after we finish eating." Qin Xiangnuan told him to have fun without worrying too much.
Qin Guang raised his eyebrows, "Never mind, you brought a lot of delicacies tonight, I really want to taste them."
"That's good." Qin Xiangnuan walked around and arranged everything for everyone.
At this time, the people who were working also came over, and their eyes almost popped out when they saw the delicious food.
"Little cousin, where did you get so many?" Qin Feng held a chicken in one hand and a bowl of wine in the other, eating happily.
Qin Xiangnuan laughed heartily, "Cousin, money makes the world go round. Isn't it easy to find this little thing?"
Qin Feng obviously didn't expect Qin Xiangnuan to say that, but when he thought about it, it was not wrong, so he nodded and continued to gnaw on the bone.
Qin Feng was enjoying his meal so much that he naturally didn't notice the expression of the person passing by behind them.
