Chapter 359 About Weapons
After dinner, everyone gathered together and talked for a while.
Chen Jingyan asked Mai Dong how much she spent on the weapons she bought this time.
Mai Dong leaned over to eat some fruit and said nonchalantly, "It didn't cost much, why are you asking? Besides, I'm just helping the Mobei Army, not giving all the weapons to you, brother."
"Brother, do you think the arms business is okay?" Mai Dong deliberately asked Gu Heng in order to change the subject.
This fruit is quite delicious. Gu Heng, who has never liked eating fruit, couldn't help but eat a few more pieces.
Hearing Mai Dong's question, Gu Heng said, "Of course we can do this business. Moreover, the price is not only low compared to the price of weapons in our Great Zhou, but their craftsmanship is also really good. Our Great Zhou needs top talents in making weapons. Unfortunately, there are no good masters at the moment."
Chen Jingyan agreed, "Indeed, what Second Brother said is a crucial issue. We can purchase weapons from abroad, but this is not a long-term solution. We still need to acquire this technology ourselves."
"I do know a place with many outstanding people."
Seeing that everyone was waiting for his answer, Chen Jingyan immediately said, "Yunlan Villa."
"Yunlan Villa is located deep in the mountains. They have very advanced crossbow technology. I once worked with the young owner of the villa. Later,..."
"What happened later?" Yun Qiao asked curiously.
Chen Jingyan coughed twice.
Gu Heng suddenly thought of something, "Sanlang, that Yunlan Young Master you mentioned. Could it be that he has a younger sister who is not in good health, and his family has taken a fancy to you and wants you to marry his sister, saying that you are strong and the son you give birth to will definitely be strong in the future..."
Chen Jingyan was certain that his second brother had said these words on purpose.
"I didn't expect the Marquis to have such a romantic affair." Yun Qiao snorted, "Then why didn't you marry her later? If you had, the owner of the manor might have passed on all his crossbow techniques to you if he was in a good mood."
"Your Highness is right. The person who is best at crossbows in Yunlan Villa is the daughter of the owner of Yun Villa. Even his sons cannot compare to this only daughter. Unfortunately, that woman has always been in poor health and is always sickly."
Yun Qiao suddenly lost the mood to eat fruit.
"Second brother, you better shut up."
Yun Qiao stood up and told Mai Dong that it was time for the pregnant woman to go to bed.
Mai Dong picked up an apple and took a bite. "Sister-in-law, why are you so angry? Go back to the room and close the door. Why don't you just deal with my brother properly?"
"Ahem, Your Highness, I'll go back first."
Gu Heng stood up immediately after saying this and picked up a few more fruits.
Chen Jingyan looked at him and said, "Since Second Brother likes eating so much, why don't you take the plate away?"
"Then you won't be polite, second brother." Gu Heng was really an honest man. He picked up the fruit on the plate and hurriedly got up and left.
Chen Jingyan looked at Gu Heng in surprise as he left with the dishes.
When did he, his second brother start to like eating fruits so much?
Maidong also left while eating the fruit.
Now only Yun Qiao and Chen Jingyan were left.
Chen Jingyan walked up to Yun Qiao and asked softly, "Are you really angry? It's just a past event. Besides, that woman was frail, and I didn't feel anything when I saw her."
"It's been so many years, but I still remember that woman's frailty. It seems the Marquis really thought about it."
"Mother Qiao." Chen Jingyan grabbed Yun Qiao's wrist, "Are you really angry?"
"Who is angry with you? I'm too lazy to be angry."
He said he was not angry, but he reached out and pushed Chen Jingyan out.
Chen Jingyan tried to make amends for it for a long time but it didn't help, so he had to go to bed and make amends at night.
Yun Qiao was disgusted and said, "Go find the daughter of the owner of the manor."
Chen Jingyan was very amused.
However, Yun Qiao also knew that it was all in the past and she was just joking with Chen Jingyan. Besides, it happened many years ago and the girl might have been married and had several children by then.
"Mother Qiao, there's something I need to tell you. I need to go to Mobei to get those weapons that Maidong got."
Yun Qiao found a comfortable position and lay down.
"Go ahead if you want to. I don't think there will be any big problems with His Majesty. My Lord, there is something I am very worried about. Now that His Majesty is afraid of you, I am worried that this person in power will bully our child in the future."
Yun Qiao was naturally worried.
The emperor is wary of Chen Jingyan's power. Now he is both afraid of him and has to use him. After all, there are not many people in the Great Zhou who can really take on responsibilities, and Chen Jingyan is the most powerful one.
If the person in power were to turn the tables in the future, who knows what would happen?
Chen Jingyan shook Yun Qiao's hand and said, "Mobei is my trump card. As long as the Mobei military camp is there, he won't dare to easily attack the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion."
"The children below must also strive to be good. If they don't, I will plan a way out for them a hundred years ago. They can leave Kyoto and have another way of life."
Chen Jingyan had thought about worrying about his children.
"You're telling the truth. But Nian Nian, I want to find her a husband who can protect her. But the Zhao family's son is too young, and I'm afraid Nian Nian won't even look down on him."
The Zhao family is a pretty good family.
Zhao Lingxi is a palace concubine, and judging by her momentum, she has the potential to become the queen.
There are many ministers in the court who support making a woman from the Zhao family the queen. If Zhao Lingxi becomes the queen, even if she dislikes Gao Wanxin, she will protect the Zhao family.
However, Yun Qiao still didn't want Nian Nian to marry a husband who was a few years younger than her.
This man was born late in maturity. If he were a few years younger, she was afraid that Nian Nian would also dislike her husband's childishness.
"Let's put off the marriage for a while. We'll see what Nian Nian likes and who she wants to marry. If she doesn't want to, we'll build her a big house and let her live there, with no worries about food and clothing for the rest of her life."
"Mother Qiao, we still have a long time to walk with the child. Don't worry. I will be prepared for everything you mentioned."
He had already started making plans for the children's future path during the time when Yunqiao was in a coma.
A tiger father will have a dog son. He also believes that his son is not such a stupid and incompetent person.
Among these four children, he was only worried about Nian Nian.
However, he and his wife Yunqiao will accompany Nian Nian as she grows up.
He hopes that the child will have a safe and smooth future, and he will prepare enough money for the child to last a lifetime and will not treat her unfairly.
Besides, there are several children in the Marquis' Mansion. How could they not protect her?
It is of course too early to talk about these things, but after hearing Chen Jingyan say this, Yun Qiao felt at ease and secure.
