Chapter 76. And weapons involve the military, so…
Weapons are related to the military, and Wen Lingzheng grew up in the military, so he was more interested in this aspect than others.
If Qin Ren were to develop a weapon as powerful as a musket, Wen Lingzheng would undoubtedly be more eager than anyone else to do so.
Because once the muskets were made, the first thing that would be available for use was the army or the Imperial Guard.
Wen Lingzheng has a special identity; he is the heir of the Marquis of Zhenbei and also the emperor's right-hand man.
If Qin Ren ever creates a powerful weapon, he will undoubtedly be the first person to handle it.
The most important thing for making firearms is gunpowder.
The main component of gunpowder is saltpeter.
Seeing that Lingzheng was so kind-hearted, Qin Ren entrusted this difficult task to her.
Actually, saltpeter is not hard to find; the difficulty lies in collecting more.
If it were just a little bit of saltpeter, Qin Ren could find it himself.
What troubled Qin Ren was how they could find more saltpeter.
While Qin Ren was working with the craftsmen to study the structure of the musket, Wen Lingzheng personally led a group of people to collect saltpeter from various nearby areas.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Liu Qingyue and Qin Lianrui were happily taking care of their child.
There are two types of dolls.
One type is the angel doll, and the other is the devil doll.
Angel dolls are characterized by being cute, well-behaved, and not crying or fussing. Even if they are uncomfortable, they will not cry incessantly.
The characteristics of devil dolls are also very obvious: they are noisy, like to scream for no reason, their cries are comparable to demonic sounds, and they also have a habit of hitting people.
Liu Qingyue has a good personality, and Qin Ren isn't exactly a superhero.
Their baby, while not a super angel baby, is much more well-behaved than the average child.
The baby's full name is Liu Xusu, and his nickname is Susu.
When SuSu was first born, she was a somewhat ugly little red monkey.
As she grew older, she gradually became more and more beautiful.
At first, Liu Qingyue didn't understand, and she felt quite sad when she saw Su Su's appearance.
He thought to himself, "This ugly young man will never be able to get married."
It seems he really is going to raise him as a boy.
Unexpectedly, in less than a week, the child became more and more beautiful.
It changes almost every day, and it gets prettier and prettier, whiter and whiter, like a fragrant and soft little white steamed bun.
Qin Lianrui had never given birth to a child, and she originally disliked children.
She dislikes children because she encountered many unruly kids when she lived in the countryside.
That kid is really naughty.
Not only are they noisy, they also like to cause trouble everywhere.
Some mischievous kids will even deliberately scratch other people's luxury cars.
Because the children are mostly cared for by their grandparents, even if the child who scratched the car is found, many people can't do anything about it.
Qin Lianrui's little electric car had its seat scratched by a little boy.
Having encountered many unruly children, Qin Lianrui developed a dislike for kids.
Unexpectedly, because Liu Qingyue's nephew was so adorable, she has now fallen in love with children all over again.
Qin Lianrui hugged and kissed Susu, saying to herself, "Whose baby is this? How come she's so beautiful?"
SuSu is still very young and can't speak at all. When she hears this, she just shouts "ah ah ah!" at her.
The nanny, who was standing nearby, noticed that she kept kissing SuSu's cheeks and kindly reminded her.
"Don't kiss him all the time. A child's cheeks are very delicate. Too many kisses are not good."
Qin Lianrui nodded upon hearing this, suppressing the urge to kiss the little one's chubby face, and picked up the toy next to her to play with Su Su again.
Now Susu lives in Qin Lianrui's house, and the nanny also lives here with her.
Liu Qingyue spends most of his time here, and only goes back to stay for one night when he gets tired of taking care of the children.
However, Susu wasn't very fussy, and since she was Liu Qingyue's first child, he wasn't too comfortable leaving her here.
To put his mind at ease, he tried to stay here every day.
Once SuSu has grown a bit older, we can take her back to ancient times.
If we could go back to ancient times, we wouldn't need so many nannies in modern times.
Liu Qingyue had just gone out to pick up a package. When she came back, she saw Qin Lianrui playing with the baby, so she washed her hands and took over Qin Lianrui's work.
He picked up Susu and played with him for a while before handing him over to the nanny.
Susu loves to sleep. As long as there's nothing to do, she'll fall asleep with just a little coaxing.
The nanny put Susu to sleep, and then she went to do her own thing.
Qin Lianrui was mainly responsible for cooking. The nanny could also cook, but she mainly cooked for the children and didn't care much about what the adults ate.
Susu is still young, so there's really no need to cook for him.
Liu Qingyue was a boy, and boys don't have much breast milk.
To feed a child, you mainly need to drink formula.
Qin Ren prepared a lot of formula for the child. The child got hungry easily, eating very little each time, and also getting hungry very quickly. Feeding the child at this time was time-consuming, laborious, and very tedious.
Fortunately, modern high technology is advanced.
Not only does it have a milk warmer, but it also keeps warm water readily available.
In addition, there's Qin Lianrui, the nanny, and Liu Qingyue.
The three of them take care of the child together, so they don't get particularly tired on weekdays.
It's tedious, but actually only the first few months are tedious.
As the children grow older, it gradually becomes less tiring.
It was a Saturday, and the nanny suggested that the child could go out for a walk.
So Liu Qingyue took Susu, along with the nanny and Qin Lianrui, and left the house.
They didn't go too far; the baby rarely left the neighborhood.
This time, they strolled around the nearby park.
It's probably because the scenery outside is beautiful and it's bustling with people.
After this trip, SuSu fell in love with going out.
The weather isn't as hot as it is in the height of summer now, but it's still a bit hot for children.
Every time Liu Qingyue took him out, she had to bring a lot of things in large and small bags, and she also had to do some simple sun protection for the child.
J City has plenty of sunshine, so to be honest, it's easy to get a tan here.
Liu Qingyue and the others went out a few times, and the little guy didn't get tanned, but he and Qin Lianrui did.
Although Liu Qingyue doesn't care much about his appearance now, gaining weight, having a baby, and getting a tan are still affecting his mood.
A few days later, Qin Ren returned to visit him and the child.
Liu Qingyue caught Qin Ren and started to act coquettishly, "Look at me, I've gotten so tanned."
Upon hearing this, Qin Ren took a closer look and discovered that Liu Qingyue had indeed gotten quite a bit tanned.
To avoid upsetting Liu Qingyue, Qin Ren thought for a moment before answering, "You've definitely gotten a tan. Is it from taking care of the baby?"
Liu Qingyue: "I'm not tired, it's just that he's been wanting to run outside all the time lately. He's still such a tiny little guy, I don't know what he wants to do running outside every day."
Qin Ren picked up his hand and looked at it. "He's probably just curious about the outside world. After all, he's only just arrived in this world."
"What should I do? I don't feel comfortable letting them take the kids out. If I go out with them, I'll get a tan."
"Buy some good sunscreen, or get a few more membership cards at a beauty salon. If that doesn't solve the problem, you can take the child to ancient times, and I'll take the child out to play then."
Upon hearing this, Liu Qingyue thought about it seriously. He actually really wanted to go to ancient times with the child.
The weather in ancient times was a bit unsuitable for them to live there for a long time.
"Forget it, let's wait another month. When the weather in ancient times is cooler, I'll take the children there to live."
This way, he wouldn't have to endure the scorching sun every day, and he could see Qin Ren every day.
Qin Ren: "Then I'll have to trouble you for the next month. I'll try to come back as often as possible; I can't leave the child entirely in your care."
Qin Ren figured that muskets weren't urgently needed, since they had already made the composite bow.
That composite bow is more powerful than a regular bow and arrow; it should be no problem to deal with a few bandits from a small country.
As for the muskets, that can't be rushed.
Because muskets require a large amount of gunpowder, they were not very useful until they had enough.
To take care of the child, Qin Ren began to return to the modern world every few days.
He would stay in ancient times for two or three days, and then take a day to come back.
On this day, he would take the children out to play.
Qin Ren is a grown man; when he comes back to take the kids out to play, he usually doesn't need too many people with him.
Usually, Qin Ren takes care of Su Su, and one more adult is enough.
To make things easier for Liu Qingyue, Qin Ren would let her go out and play whenever he returned.
Liu Qingyue occasionally takes Qin Lianrui with her when she goes out to play. Recently, the two of them have become obsessed with beauty treatments and body shaping.
I've signed up for all sorts of classes, like body shaping classes, dance classes, beauty and skincare treatments, and even hair care.
Qin Lianrui has become noticeably more fashionable lately, following Liu Qingyue's lead, and even dyed her hair blue.
Qin Ren would take the children and the nanny to some parks and amusement parks.
Qin Ren's hair is now quite long, and he has never cut it in order to make it easier to move around in ancient times.
The nanny thought Qin Ren was handsome and cool, a tall man of 1.9 meters with shoulder-length hair.
Sometimes, for convenience, Qin Ren would simply pull his hair up and tie it into a ponytail.
Once, when Qin Ren took the child out, the nanny couldn't help but ask a question in a low voice.
"Hey, Mr. Qin, are you a supermodel?"
Qin Ren replied with a hint of helplessness, "I'm a businessman, not a model."
"Really? You're so tall, like those supermodels from Europe and America. I think you're even more handsome than those supermodels. Your boyfriend is really lucky."
"Thanks."
Qin Ren didn't explain much to her. Su Su has grown up a bit now, and she'll probably be living in ancient times from now on.
Qin Ren felt that he wouldn't have much interaction with this nanny, so he didn't say much to her.
