Shen Danru spoke up to explain, "Grandfather, it's me."
Shen Shi was only slightly taken aback, but immediately realized that this was his granddaughter.
He was very familiar with his granddaughter's abilities, so he was not surprised to see her with a different appearance.
Shen Shi, who was always dignified in the military camp, explained to Shen Danru in a serious and methodical manner:
"Ru'er, these six are master craftsmen. They have some questions they would like to ask you."
Shen Danru smiled and said, "The drawings were indeed drawn by me. If any of you masters have any questions, you can ask me, and I will answer them one by one."
"However, I also have something I hope my grandfather can grant."
"Ru'er, just tell me what you want. I will do my best to fulfill your request."
Shen Shi originally thought his granddaughter wanted to discuss with him some issues such as the raw materials needed to make firearms, but he did not expect that what his granddaughter said next would surprise him.
"I hope that once the muzzle-loading smoothbore arquebus is manufactured, it can be handed over to Shen Yutang's squad for operation."
The people in the room were somewhat surprised to hear this.
Several craftsmen secretly wondered: Could it be that the old general's granddaughter has taken a liking to Shen Yutang?
Shen Yutang and his men certainly knew that they had the nickname "Desperate Wolf" in the military camp.
Later, the team he led also followed his example, always taking the lead.
Since ancient times, beautiful women have loved heroes.
Although Shen Yutang is a good man, he is still not quite a match for General Shen's granddaughter.
Shen Shi looked at Shen Danru in disbelief. His granddaughter was...?
Why does he have this feeling of having gained something and then lost it again?
He couldn't help but wonder, when did Ru'er meet Shen Yutang? Wasn't that kid sent by Du Huan to Shengjing to investigate something?
Could it be that they have already met in Shengjing?
His granddaughter hadn't even acknowledged him as her grandfather when that young man beat him to it.
Besides, he never thought of letting his granddaughter get married so early. They had only just recognized each other. How could he bear to do that?
He was filled with questions, but now was not the right time to ask his granddaughter.
Nevertheless, he still put on a stern face.
Not just anyone is worthy of his outstanding granddaughter.
It seems he needs to teach that Shen Yutang a lesson.
Only Du Huan couldn't help but chuckle. The old general looked like he wanted to kill someone; Shen Yutang was in for a lot of trouble.
When Shen Danru saw that her grandfather looked unwell, she thought he was feeling unwell.
She asked worriedly, "Grandpa, are you feeling unwell?"
Shen Shi gently shook his head: "No."
Shen Danru stepped forward and carefully examined Shen Shi, only feeling relieved after confirming that his physical condition was fine.
However, Shen Yutang being the second brother's affair was not appropriate to explain to the grandfather in this situation.
General Du just told her that her second brother is not currently in the army and will not be able to return for several days.
She decided to talk to her grandfather in detail after returning home.
“Grandfather, I know that Shen Yutang’s squad is known for its bravery in the army, but this is exactly the kind of military spirit our country needs. Only an army that dares to fight and is not afraid of sacrifice can truly protect our country’s peace. I believe that the muzzle-loading smoothbore gun will be able to exert its greatest power in their hands.”
Upon hearing this, everyone in the room agreed that what Shen Danru said made sense.
They all agreed that if such a weapon were in the hands of Shen Yutang's squad, it would indeed be more likely to unleash its power and achieve amazing results.
When Shen Shi heard his granddaughter's explanation, his face immediately relaxed.
However, he still felt annoyed.
However, it must be admitted that entrusting this weapon to Shen Yutang's team was the best choice.
It is reasonable for the granddaughter to make this request.
"Can."
Seeing her grandfather nod in agreement, Shen Danru finally breathed a sigh of relief.
At this moment, she had a slight idea to play a trick on her grandfather. What would his reaction be if he knew that Shen Yutang was his grandson?
Shen Danru began to explain every structure and detail on the drawings to the craftsmen in detail.
Her explanation was clear and logical, and she explained things in a simple and easy-to-understand way. The craftsmen suddenly understood and gained a deeper understanding of the blueprints.
In a short while, the doubt and confusion on their faces disappeared.
They all praised Shen Danru, and their eyes were filled with admiration when they looked at her.
Suddenly, the system alerted that someone was eavesdropping outside the door.
Shen Danru quickly walked over and flung the door open.
An elderly man, around sixty years old, stood in front of the door. Seeing it suddenly open, he was somewhat embarrassed, but quickly regained his composure and said with a smile:
"General, I heard that you have returned to the military camp. I was a little worried about your health, so I came to check on you."
He looked up and saw Shen Danru, and was taken aback. He then asked, "This young man, how come I've never seen him before?"
Shen Danru looked at Shen Shi.
Upon recognizing that it was someone on his side, Shen Shi quickly waved his hand and said, "It's Xiang Shui. You don't need to take care of things here. You can go and attend to other matters."
As Shui Bo left, he glanced into the room a few more times, and finally looked at Shen Danru with a meaningful look in his eyes.
Shen Danru closed the door and asked Du Huan with a puzzled look, "General Du, there are clearly elite troops guarding outside, so why didn't you report or stop anyone from coming?"
Du Huan explained, "Miss Shen, Uncle Shui is none other than a trusted confidant of General Shen."
Shen Danru looked at her grandfather and saw that he nodded as well.
Seeing her grandfather nod, she didn't take it to heart.
Perhaps she was overthinking it.
In order to manufacture muzzle-loading smoothbore cannons as soon as possible, Shen Shi stayed in the military camp and did not return home for five consecutive days.
Although Shen Danru was worried about her grandfather's health, she was unable to persuade or stop him.
