Chapter 084 The fragrance of pear flowers on the sleeves
Shen Ning was suddenly stunned.
Mu Yao hurriedly said, "I'll leave first."
Shen Ning said seriously: "Thank you, Miss. I will always remember Miss Mu's kindness."
Mu Yao glanced at her and left quickly without staying any longer.
Shen Ning no longer had the heart to greet the guests. She said something to Su Lianyi and turned to go to the backyard.
There was already a room in the backyard, with a stone table and chairs placed under the tree, as well as a recliner that Chen Ning liked. She walked over and sat on the recliner under the tree, her heart feeling cold.
Why do some people always like to push their buttons, again and again... She won't be soft-hearted this time.
That Mrs. Pan cannot be kept.
Just be well prepared.
Originally, the only way out she could rely on was Xiao Nanchen, but now there is another one: Xu Zhiyi promised her the title of Xiangjun.
At this time, Er Yue suddenly came in: "Miss, Mr. Xu's men are here."
Shen Ning's eyes lit up immediately.
Xu Zhiyi was obviously also anxious to get the method of making thunder bombs, so she could take this opportunity to urge him.
If she could obtain the title of Lady of the Country in time, she wouldn't have to worry about being bullied in Pingning County even if she didn't rely on Xiao Nanchen.
She would naturally not let go of any opportunity to curry favor with someone powerful, but it would be the right thing to do if it could make her stronger.
Shen Ning stood up: "Go and invite the person in."
After a while, Xu Zhiyi's people left and brought back a message from Shen Ning: she asked Xu Zhiyi to personally see the production of the Thunderbolt Bomb.
Shen Ning had something on her mind and didn't want to delay, so she set the time for the next morning. After breakfast, she went to the city gate to meet Xu Zhiyi as agreed, and then went together to the manor where thunder bombs were made.
Xu Zhiyi's carriage was extremely luxurious, making Chen Ning's carriage look small and simple.
"Come up."
Xu Zhiyi lifted the curtain to let Chen Ning get on his carriage. He glanced at the horse pulling the carriage and raised his eyebrows and said, "What a pity for this horse."
Chen Ning smiled and said, "I found this at Niuma Market. If Mr. Xu Sanye likes it..."
Xu Zhiyi thought that this woman had finally gotten the point and was about to politely decline her offer of a horse. After all, he wasn't at the point where he would even steal a horse.
Not everyone is qualified to give him gifts.
However, then Mr. Xu San heard the second half of Shen Ning's sentence: "... also send someone to the Niuma Market to take a look."
"Oh."
Xu Zhiyi sneered and ignored him, while Chen Ning looked at him with an innocent look on her face.
The village where the thunder bombs were made was a very remote small village, and Chen Ning bought it directly. There was a road on one side of the village and a river right behind it. The river was turbulent, which could be used for protection and emergency response.
"Boss!"
The person guarding the intersection was Zhao Tong. When Zhao Tong came over, the people following him looked familiar. They were Shuanzi and others from Qingyuan Village.
The crops were not good, and in order to support their families, the villagers were looking for other ways to make a living. When they learned that Zhao Tong had found a job with Shen Ning and became the head of the guards, some people approached Zhao Tong and wanted to follow in Shen Ning's footsteps.
Zhao Tong naturally reported it to Chen Ning as soon as possible. Chen Ning asked Zhao Tong to choose reliable people himself. Then Zhao Tong selected more than ten people, including Shuanzi.
Those people felt a little embarrassed when they saw Chen Ning, and they respectfully called him the boss.
Shen Ning was very polite: "Thank you for your hard work."
Zhao Tong was a man who clearly distinguished between public and private matters. Even if the two families were close in private, he would always respectfully call Chen Ning the "boss" in public.
Yuan Yue led Chen Ning and Xu Zhiyi into the farm and started looking at the raw materials.
As Chen Ning walked, she introduced Xu Zhiyi: "This farm is guarded by people I trust, and the hired workers are all people who cannot speak."
It is difficult for such people to find jobs, they are down-to-earth in their work, and not prone to leaking secrets. In addition, the people in each link are fixed and cannot move around or gather in groups, so the production of thunder bombs can be considered completely confidential.
After going through each step, the final product is displayed in the newly built large courtyard at the back of the village... The high wall blocks the outside view and the workshop in front. There is water outside the wall, so there is no need to worry about fire caused by mistakes.
Xu Zhiyi watched with his own eyes as the pile of black, yellow and white materials turned into a pitch-black ball. Yuan Yue demonstrated it personally, lit the fuse, and then threw the thunder bomb out.
With a loud bang, the thatched hut temporarily built for demonstration in the distance was blown into ruins and burned. The people waiting nearby immediately came forward with buckets of water and quickly put out the flames.
Xu Zhiyi glanced at Chen Ning beside him calmly, and the slightly casual smile on his face faded slightly.
How much does she know about this kind of thing...
After getting on the carriage, Shen Ning handed a folded piece of paper to Xu Zhiyi: "Third Master, this is the method of making this thunder bomb."
Xu Zhiyi picked it up with two fingers, and looked at her with a smirk: "You gave it to me without seeing any benefits. Aren't you afraid that I will take the things but not fulfill my promise?"
Chen Ning smiled: "Master Xu San is a gentleman as bright as the moon, and is well-known for his noble character. How could he go back on his word? I believe you."
People like Xu Zhiyi might just rob directly, but since they have promised the deal, they will not go back on their word and make a profit.
Moreover, she actually had no better choice. From the moment she saw him on the small fishing boat, Shen Ning knew that the Thunderbolt Bomb must be given to him. The only difference was what she could get in return.
Fortunately, she got what she wanted.
Xu Zhiyi chuckled: "A gentleman? A man of high moral character? Are you sure?"
"That's natural."
Shen Ning's smile was very sincere, her face full of innocence and innocence...
Xu Zhiyi glanced at her disdainfully: "Okay, let's go."
This woman said a lot of things, only saying nice things. She seemed to be very fawning and flattering to him, but when she was threatened by being strangled, she would rather die than give in.
How can such a person be obedient?
But since the deal has been agreed upon, there will naturally be a give and take.
Xu Zhiyi retracted his gaze and said slowly, "Don't worry, I never break my promise."
"Of course I believe in the Third Master..."
Shen Ning coughed lightly: "Well, can you... go a little faster?"
Xu Zhiyi turned around and looked at him: "What?"
I just said I believed him...
Shen Ning thought about it, and then told Xu Zhiyi that the old lady of the Xu family wanted her to remarry her nephew.
"Although she can't force me to marry her off if I don't want to, they have the Xu family's backing... I'm not saying your Xu family is aiding and abetting the evil, after all, the world is high and the road is long, and Lord Xu doesn't know that he has relatives with such character, right...
The old lady from the Xu family would show courtesy to even the county magistrate, so I'm worried she might use some shady tactics."
Shen Ning looked innocent: "I'm just a commoner, I'm really worried."
Xu Zhiyi smiled and said, "Just look at all the thunder bombs on Manager Shen's farm now. I'm afraid the whole of Pingning can't withstand your bombing, right?"
Shen Ning opened her eyes wide: "How could that be? Wouldn't that make me a rebel? I want to live a peaceful life and don't want to rebel."
Xu Zhiyi looked at her frightened, harmless and timid expression, and thought of how she clapped her hands and laughed when she blew those Japanese pirates into a sea of fire at sea yesterday. He didn't know what to say for a moment.
Say she is timid, but she laughed like that that day when she looked at the sea of fire and the hell on earth... Say she is brave, but she was like this again.
After a pause, Xu Zhiyi tutted his words: "Okay, got it."
Shen Ning immediately flattered him: "Then I'll rely on the Third Master. It's a great honor to meet the Third Master..."
"Oh, then why don't you care about me?" Xu Zhiyi replied slowly.
Shen Ning was stunned: "Huh?"
Xu Zhiyi raised his eyelids and looked at her: "I have heard that Madam Shen is quite skilled in medicine. You should have heard about it too. I injured my leg... Her medical skills are outstanding and you are so grateful to me, why haven't you offered to treat me?"
It was normal for Xu Zhiyi to want to know something. Besides, Chen Ning had never hidden her medical skills before. She stopped practicing medicine after arriving in Pingning because she was worried that someone would take the opportunity to frame her.
So it was not surprising that Xu Zhiyi knew that she was a good doctor, but he didn't know whether he had checked "Zhao Nan".
At first, Shen Ning thought that Xiao Nanchen continued to conceal his identity because he was worried about her, but after so long, she already understood that he must have other reasons why he needed to continue hiding.
This Mr. Xu San had suddenly mentioned "Zhao Nan" and Shen Qingbai before, but I don't know whether he mentioned it casually or knew something.
Shen Ning had many thoughts in her mind, but her face was pure and reserved. She laughed harmlessly: "The imperial doctors in the capital are very skilled. As the Third Master, you must have already searched for famous doctors. Therefore, I dare not show off my skills in front of them."
"Stop pretending... Show me. If you have a way to cure it, I'll reward you handsomely."
Xu Zhiyi stretched out his arm slowly, pulled up his sleeve to reveal a part of his wrist. Although not slender, it was very white, and it was obvious that he was used to a life of luxury.
Having said that, Chen Ning naturally could no longer refuse. She responded and reached out to take Xu Zhiyi's pulse.
In fact, Shen Ning originally suspected that this person was pretending, because his posture really did not look like someone with a disability at all.
Casual and casual, as if he doesn't care at all.
But after taking her pulse, she realized something was wrong.
"I need to see my eyes again..."
Xu Zhiyi frowned slightly, but still stretched his head forward to cooperate. Shen Ning said "offense" and reached out to open his eyelids.
To see his eyes, Shen Ning had to get closer. Xu Zhiyi seemed casual but actually seldom let anyone get close to him. The unexpected distance made him want to frown, but his eyelids were held open.
The tip of his nose was filled with the faint scent of pear blossoms from Chen Ning's cuffs. He looked forward and saw the woman's exceptionally beautiful face.
Xu Zhiyi was used to seeing beauties in the capital, and even his own face was not ordinary, but he had to admit that the girl in front of him who came from the countryside was indeed very beautiful.
Those eyes were like the most harmless little deer, big and black, with thick eyelashes that made her look innocent, but at this moment her particularly focused expression revealed a bit of rebelliousness... He knew that this woman was not as simple as she looked.
After a moment, Shen Ning sat up straight: "The Third Master's illness is not in his legs, but in his brain."
Xu Zhiyi looked up at her and said, "The imperial physician in the palace also said that there is blood stasis in the brain. Acupuncture has been used to treat it, but there has been no improvement. Can you treat it?"
Shen Ning pondered and said, "I can give it a try, but I'm afraid that my method may not work..."
Xu Zhiyi sneered and interrupted her: "Put away your petty thoughts. Just treat it. I won't blame you if you can't do it."
Shen Ning laughed: "Yes."
