Chapter 169 Gunpowder
Inside the Taiji Palace, the emperor was not the only one struggling with the issue of whether to send out troops or not.
Bei Jingchu was also struggling, although she had no say in the matter.
I didn't study seriously the whole afternoon and my mind was full of random thoughts.
[If troops are sent, it doesn’t necessarily mean they are going to help Tu Ning.]
[Gunpowder is a good thing, but wine has not been made yet, so we can't put all our hopes on it. ]
[Although she is a genius in chemistry, what if she fails, or the time to succeed has passed?]
【So the conditions set by Tu Ning are still useful. 】
The little kids almost jumped up from their seats after hearing what was said.
What?
Are we going to send troops to start a war?
Zhou Huanjiu never expected that she was involved in this.
She had seen it here and tried to make it, but had never succeeded.
At that time, Zhou Huanjiu thought of the iron flowers he saw when he left the palace before. Originally, they were used to make gunpowder, and he wanted to make fire trees and silver flowers that could explode for viewing.
So there is no rush.
But just now, Chuchu said that it can be used on the battlefield.
Yes, it is an explosion if it looks like an explosion, and it is also an explosion if it affects people.
After school, Bei Jingchu found Zhou Huanjiu and asked her if she had learned how to make gunpowder.
"At first, I was trying to make gunpowder, but I couldn't get the right proportion and purity of the materials."
"Do you know what proportion and purity mean? It's just..."
Zhou Huanjiu was about to explain when he heard the child's inner voice: "I know, but I know it's weird, so I have to pretend I don't know."
【Please finish your speech and stop talking so much. 】
Zhou Huanjiu: Oh.
“It’s not working yet, but I’m trying.”
At first, her aunt didn't want her to do these things and thought she should focus on her studies.
Nor will I help her find tools and materials.
Later, the emperor cousin talked to the eldest aunt about something, and the eldest aunt's attitude changed drastically, and she gave her whatever she wanted.
So: "Chu Chu, I will inform you as soon as possible when the time comes."
Bei Jingchu decided to encourage her: "Wine."
"hold head high?"
"You know what? If you can make this thing, I, your father, will make you a princess."
Zhou Huanjiu:!
"Or if you want to be made a marquis like Xu Shaoqing, that's fine too."
Zhou Huanjiu: ! !
"You don't have to be like Bei Qin, who had to leave Botang before being appointed to an official position."
"If you succeed, just tell His Majesty that you don't want to study anymore and ask him to arrange for you to work in the Ministry of Industry. He might agree."
Zhou Huanjiu:!!!
"Besides, aren't you thinking about your mother? If you lower your other demands, you can even ask for a decree for your mother, and then you can be proud of yourself in front of your scumbag father."
Zhou Huanjiu: !!! Damn it!
Bei Jingchu knew that Jiujiu had always been ambitious.
Her scumbag father kidnapped her in order to treat the daughter of his deceased ex as the eldest daughter.
In this era, girls rely on their fathers and brothers before marriage, and rely on their husbands after marriage.
Jiujiu's scumbag father is obviously unreliable, otherwise the original novel wouldn't have made up the story of the real and fake daughter, causing Zhou Huanjiu to turn evil and directly poison the whole family with a bag of poison.
Although Bei Jingchu praised the heroine, she liked Jiujiu's current appearance more.
And in the palace, you are ultimately living under someone else's roof.
She knew that Jiujiu had always wanted to make a name for herself.
So even though she is bad at everything except arithmetic, she still works hard.
Because she never thought that there were other ways to go.
She studied the book that Bei Jingchu gave her just out of interest.
But now, Bei Jingchu has pointed her in a new direction.
Zhou Huanjiu became alert and stopped wasting time. He stuffed the things into the bookcase and prepared to escape back to Renshou Hall.
"Chu Chu, thank you! I will definitely get that thing out!"
Bei Jingchu smiled sweetly and encouraged her: "I believe in you, Jiujiu. You will definitely succeed. You will be our first great contributor. You are our pride."
Zhou Huanjiu nodded his head heavily.
"Yeah! I won't let you down!"
There was a warm current echoing in her heart, and her heart was surging with excitement.
The faint light of the sunset shines through the windows of Hongwenguan, casting a warm glow on the school.
The friendship among children is pure and genuine, inspiring and looking forward to the future.
Lei Nian'er carried the princess's school box and stood beside her with Bei Hua. The warm atmosphere between the two little girls formed a warm picture in their eyes.
They waited quietly without inserting.
Until Zhou Huanjiu walked away, Lei Nian'er had not yet come out of the emotion just now, and then she heard the princess say in her heart: [Today's chicken blood, successfully captured! ]
[Jiujiu is still so easy to fool hahaha! ]
Lei Nian'er:......
Bei Hua noticed her facial expression change and asked with concern, "What's wrong, Nian'er? Are you feeling unwell?"
Lei Nian'er: ...My body is not feeling well.
She shook her head. "It's okay."
Then I heard Bei Hua sigh: "My cousin and Jiujiu have such a good relationship."
"She is so good at comforting people. She is such a kind and gentle little princess~"
Lei Nian'er:......
