Setting up gun emplacements on a ship was something that had never happened before in the world, and no one knew how to do it.
Su Ruojin had a gut feeling that Su Muyao could do it.
There are geniuses in this world, or rather, everyone is a genius, but not everyone can find a place to unleash their talents and abilities.
Now that Mu Yao has been found, she should trust her younger sister.
When Su Muyao saw her older sister ask her that question, she hesitated subconsciously.
Even though the Su family didn't impose many restrictions, Su Muyao was taught from a young age that women could only stay at home to support their husbands and raise their children, be good housewives, and manage the household for their husbands.
What the older sister said was essentially putting her in charge of building the ship.
She was just a woman.
Is she capable?
Su Ruojin noticed Su Muyao's hesitation and understood her concerns. Her eyes flickered. "What, you can't do it? If you can't, then forget it. I'll just take it to another master to take a look."
After saying that, she reached out her hand to Su Muyao, wanting to see the blueprints.
Su Muyao hid the blueprints behind her back as if someone was trying to steal her beloved possession, and raised her head, "Who says I can't do it?"
Seeing the smile in Su Ruojin's eyes, Su Muyao knew that her older sister was teasing her, and her face turned red. "Big sister, you're teasing me."
"Mu Yao, so you have to stay and help me build this ship. Then I'll take you to see the sea. The sea is beautiful, with seagulls and fish to keep you company, and the waves to lull you to sleep at night."
Su Ruojin's words were like candy to lure a child, instantly making Su Muyao yearn for it and stop insisting on going to Xiaoyue with Su Ruojin.
Su Muyao understood that her eldest sister would be away in Xiaoyue for one or two months at the shortest, and three or four months at the longest. She didn't know medicine, Gu poison, or martial arts, so she really couldn't be of much help if she went.
With such a long time to build, many parts of the ship would need to be completed before adding gun emplacements, which is clearly impossible.
She could only finish building the boat for her older sister if she stayed.
"Mu Yao, I believe you can definitely build it," Su Ruojin encouraged.
This is also an opportunity that Su Ruojin is giving Su Muyao, if she can really oversee the construction of this ship.
She will surely be recorded in history as the first architect in the history of the Great Chu and even the Nine Provinces to oversee the construction of gunboats.
And she was a woman!
Su Ruojin also wanted to use Mu Yao to show all the women in the world that no woman is inferior to a man, and that women can create history just as well, given the opportunity.
Su Muyao understood the hope in Su Ruojin's eyes. She didn't think as far ahead as Su Ruojin, nor did she think about becoming famous in history. She simply had one idea: to build a gunboat and go out to sea with her older sister to see a different world.
"Okay! Big sister, I'll definitely build it and wait for you to come back!"
"Yes, I believe you."
The other three elders looked at the two children with a mixture of shock and relief on their faces.
They didn't quite understand what Su Ruojin and her sister were talking about, what gunboats were, but judging from their expressions, they knew it was a big deal.
These two delicate-looking girls are actually planning to build a huge ship?
Is this possible?
Madam Su didn't want to think about these things for the time being. Hearing that Su Muyao had given up on going with them, she felt relieved.
Su Ruojin turned to look at Madam Su. Before she could speak, Madam Su raised her hand and said, "Xiaojin, don't try to persuade me. If you want me to agree to let you go to Xiaoyue, there is only one condition: I will go with you. Otherwise, there's no point in talking."
Su Ruojin looked at Su Muyao, who had a helpless expression on her face.
Although Madam Su is a woman, she is the only person in the Su family whose word is law, second only to General Su. Neither her father nor her brothers dare to offend her.
Once a mother has made up her mind, no one can dissuade her.
Su Muyao could see the worry in her mother's eyes for her older sister, and subconsciously felt that it might be better if her mother went along.
In the end, even Consort Jiang and Old Madam Zhao spoke up for Madam Su. They felt that Madam Su was, after all, a mother and familiar with pregnancy, so they could rest assured that she would take care of Su Ruojin.
In the end, Su Ruojin had no choice but to agree to let her mother go to Xiaoyue with her.
Not only Madam Su, but the entire Su family, upon learning of this, unanimously decided that Su Jiu'an would also go along to protect his mother and Su Ruojin.
In the end, Su Ruojin, Madam Su, and Su Jiu'an all headed to Xiaoyue together.
After learning the whole story, Yan Luo didn't rest; she mounted her horse and galloped off to catch up with Su Ruojin.
The young lady is no longer fit to ride a horse; she must be traveling by carriage. If she speeds up, she will surely catch up.
