Fast time travel: The heroine and the female supporting role hold the script of the villain

Chapter 95 The real daughter, she quit (41)

It was night, and there was a rhythmic sound of horseshoes on the stone road in the city that had become lonely.

And the straight-backed figure on the horseback at the very front is Lu Chengen who just came out of the Duke's Mansion.

Although he has built a mansion outside alone, there is still a sister in the Duke's mansion that he can't let go of, so every time he triumphs, he will go back to visit one or two.

The two brothers and sisters have been close since childhood. It's not that he has never thought about bringing Lu Xiangxiang to live with the General's Mansion, but he has been fighting outside all the year round, and there is no other master in the General's Mansion. For a young lady who has not yet left the cabinet, Lu Xiangxiang, Not necessarily a good choice.

Fortunately, ever since he was valued by the emperor, the attitude of the nominally cheap father of the two towards them has eased. In addition, the hereditary title has long been set, and he has no intention of fighting for it. After all, Lu Xiangxiang is a cheap father She is of the same blood and is a daughter, so she can't stand any grievances.

It's just that when it comes to Lu Xiangxiang's marriage, he must not let the wife in the Duke's mansion decide the decision. Thinking back to what happened in the Duke's mansion not long ago, a coolness flashed in Lu Chengen's eyes.

The woman had also considered trying to manipulate his marriage before, but unfortunately she failed, and after being slashed by him once more, she was quiet for a while.

This time, he didn't dare to provoke him, but in the blink of an eye, he decided on Lu Xiangxiang's head?

The dark night well concealed the bloodlust on Lu Chengen's face at this moment. He fought desperately on the battlefield, and walked step by step to today in order to let Lu Xiangxiang live freely. That woman I'm afraid I don't know yet, the consequences of messing with Lu Xiangxiang are much more serious than messing with him.

It's time to give a big gift to that noble lady who has indulged in pleasure for more than ten years.

Gathering his thoughts slightly, Lu Chengen exerted a little force on his thighs, and the horse under him quickened his pace knowingly.

Seeing this, the two personal soldiers behind him naturally drove their horses to follow, and then the three of them galloped all the way in the already empty urban area at an extremely fast speed, and soon returned to the outside of the general's mansion.

The housekeeper and porter in the mansion had long stretched their necks eagerly and waited at the gate. When they heard the sound from a distance, they hurriedly walked down the steps. When Lu Chengen got off the horse, the housekeeper immediately bowed: "General, you are back."

"Is there something going on in the mansion?" The man asked casually as if taking a formality while taking off the saber hanging from his waist.

He is the only master in the general's mansion, and the remaining 30 to [-] people are servants. He usually goes out to fight or trains in military camps in the outskirts. The mansion is so quiet that even the old lady will find it boring when she comes.

"Return to the general, everything is fine." The housekeeper smiled and explained some big and small things in the house during the time he left Beijing: "I heard that the general won another battle, and many adults in Beijing during the day They all sent people to send congratulatory gifts, and the slaves have already ordered people to sort them out and send them to the warehouse, and the list is already on your case."

"Yeah." Lu Chengen didn't stop, and walked through a half-moon door towards the backyard: "Prepare hot water, I want to take a bath."

"Yes." The butler grinned and turned and walked away.

Soon the two servants carried the big wooden barrel into the largest courtyard in the backyard of the General's Mansion, placed it in the side room next to the main house and filled it with warm water, then bowed their heads and quietly retreated. go out.

Soon, Lu Chengen walked in with his firm, muscular upper body naked. His body was covered with various scars of different lengths. Those flesh-colored scars that were lighter than the bronze skin were dancing in the candlelight. It looks a little scary in the light.

Half an hour later, he returned to the main room covered in dampness, walked to the desk, and picked up the list of gifts that the housekeeper had put there in advance, and took it from it without thinking about it. A letter fell behind.

General Xiaolu himself.

Slightly raised his eyebrows, Lu Chengen picked up the letter, presumably it was delivered to the concierge, and the housekeeper delivered it here too, but he just forgot to report it.

The identity of the person who sent the letter should not be low, otherwise the concierge would not accept it, besides...

He sniffed the faint scent of rouge in his nostrils, and before he opened the envelope, he had eighty or ninety percent guesses about where the letter came from.

After shaking off the thin sheet of letter paper and roughly scanning the content on it, Lu Chengen narrowed his black eyes slightly, and he seemed to be frozen there, looking a little shocked.

Of course, what shocked him was not Haiyao's request to enter the palace in the letter, but the benefits he could get if he could help.

Probably at the beginning of his expedition, that is, more than two months ago, a kind of iron-like and non-ferrous metal appeared in Penang, and the weapons forged from that metal were extremely sharp.

The distance between Penang and the capital is not too far, Lu Chengen thought that after returning to Beijing this time, he would have time to go there and have a look, to confirm whether it was an unknown mine in Penang or an expert Master of Blacksmithing.

If the former is the case, it is undoubtedly quite good news for the country. The number of weapons, armors, and shields made of this metal does not need to be too large. As long as an elite army of 500 people can be created, it is enough Invincible on the battlefield.

If a master who is good at forging is born, then in the name of the court, a lot of money will be promised to obtain such superb forging skills, which will also benefit the soldiers on the front line.

Even if such skills are difficult, then the next best thing is to forge weapons that are handy. After all, on the battlefield, any weapon that is even the slightest bit stronger may be a chance to survive.

It just so happens that such a thing that is valued by the military unexpectedly appeared in the letter of the Miss Wu family.

The armor and weapons forged from that metal that could arm fifty soldiers... But the sincerity was so high that he couldn't even have the slightest thought of rejecting the other party.

Lu Chengen came back to his senses, turned around and lit the letter near the candle, burning it clean.

He walked slowly to the window, glanced at the half moon hanging in the sky, and then looked in the direction of the Grand Scholars' Mansion.It seems that during his time away from Beijing, a lot of interesting things happened in the Wu Mansion. This Miss Wu is really not simple.

That's all for example, Xiangfang, who can take out so many unknown metals in one go, this person is really very courageous.

Da da da.

His slender fingers tapped and tapped on the wooden window lattice, then he turned around and extinguished the candle, allowing himself to be completely swallowed by the darkness.

It was just dawn the next day.

The concierge of the Wu Mansion was swearing while tying the handcuffs around his neck while running towards the gate tightly, and the angry look on his face soon changed after he saw the pattern embroidered on the cuffs of the person outside the gate. It became a flattering smile: "Hey, what wind brought you here?"

The second housekeeper of the Duke's Mansion smiled slightly, and handed out a post: "The eldest lady in our mansion gave it to Miss Wu. The carriage from the Duke's Mansion will arrive outside your mansion as soon as the time has passed. Miss Wu, please do it early." Prepare."

Although the other party's tone was respectful, subconsciously, he didn't consider the possibility of Haiyao's refusal. In essence, he still had the arrogance of a superior.

After the invitation was given, the second housekeeper of the Duke's Mansion left.

The concierge obviously didn't dare to delay, holding the post and went to the Liuliyuan non-stop, Haiyao was a little surprised when he took it, secretly road Chengen really could deal with this person, the efficiency of his work was really a bit awesome.

It seems that the temptation of weapons that can arm a squad of 50 people to the teeth is really great.

The cold weapons in this world are still in the iron-made period, and it is a coincidence that she can hold such a bargaining chip.

Because she wanted to make Ruxiangfang bigger, some time ago Haiyao came up with the idea of ​​​​opening the store to the surrounding cities of the capital, so she asked the shopkeeper of Ruxiangfang to go to Penang first.

The shopkeeper happened to be from Penang. This trip not only managed the opening of a branch of Ruxiangfang in Penang, but also brought back a cousin of the same clan, hoping that he could make a living in Ruxiangfang.

It turned out that this cousin was originally a blacksmith and had a blacksmith shop in Penang. However, in the past two years, he wanted to study how to make harder and more stable iron like a demon, and the business of the blacksmith shop was abandoned.

After Haiyao heard about this incident, after testing the opponent's skills, she finally decided to invest in the blacksmith's shop in Penang.

For example, Xiangfang has a business line facing neighboring countries, so when the caravan went to the neighboring country to buy spices, it bought back other substances that can make iron harder, and added them in a certain proportion during the forging process. When the cousin is obsessed and obsessed, he really has a lot of skills under his hands, and he really drummed up the embryonic form of steel.

Although the purity may not meet the requirements, it is already much stronger than ordinary ironware.

However, in this kind of feudal dynasty, Haiyao deeply understands the truth that a big tree attracts the wind. If this kind of technology is not in the hands of the court, it will easily lead to a fatal disaster.But before handing it over, he had to make enough money. Originally, he was worried about the lack of an opportunity, but Lu Chengen's appearance was just right.

Breaking away from her intermittent thoughts, Haiyao, who had tidied up, saw that it was almost time, so she took Chunxi out of the Liuliyuan.

When she walked to the gate of the Wu Mansion, she could vaguely see the luxury carriage with the Guogong Mansion logo on the front parked outside. When she stepped over the high threshold, Lu Xiangxiang lifted the curtain to reveal He turned his head and smiled sweetly at her.

"Miss Lu." Hai Yao politely greeted her.

Unexpectedly, Lu Xiangxiang directly stretched out his hand and pulled her into the car, and then chattered: "I haven't thanked Sister Yao for asking my brother to bring me the rouge yesterday! I like it very much, just today My father asked me to go to the palace to see my aunt, the place in the palace is very boring, it would be great if Sister Yao would accompany me."

No matter how innocent the girl looks, she grew up in a noble family since she was a child, and she still speaks impeccably.

Because of Lu Xiangxiang's lively nature, there was not much strangeness between the two of them, chatting all the way and the carriage soon arrived outside the palace gate.According to the rules of the palace, the two got out of the car one after another, took the maid into the palace gate, and walked on the deep and suffocating green brick road leading to the deep palace.

Maybe it's because the palace walls on both sides are too high, the place gives people a feeling of being too dark to see the sun, and it is very cramped and depressing visually.

Duke Lu Tao's younger sister, Lu Min, married into the East Palace as a side concubine when the emperor was still the crown prince. Now she is the concubine Chen who is the head of the four concubines, and there is quite a bit of husband and wife friendship with the emperor.

After the two officially entered the palace, Lu Xiangxiang really took Haiyao to greet Concubine Chen, and when they came out of Concubine Chen's palace, it was already noon.

But before going far, Lu Xiangxiang yelled: "Oh! Sister Yao, I forgot to give her the things my father asked me to bring to my aunt."

"I'll just wait here." Haiyao replied tactfully.

"Go a little further and there is a small garden. Sister Yao can go there and enjoy the flowers while waiting." Lu Xiangxiang stuck out his tongue embarrassedly, and left quickly after giving advice.

Haiyao took Chunxi and walked towards the garden until watching the girl's back gradually go away.

The flowers inside the palace were really more beautiful than those outside, but when she was wandering aimlessly, there was a sudden sound of messy footsteps not far away.

Looking through the gaps between the luxuriant flowering branches and leaves, I found a few court ladies in lake-green palace attire. From what the leading nun said, they were ordered by the Holy Majesty to give the most favored The concubine collected the tender petals near the flower core for bathing.

The palace maids dispersed at the sound, and soon went to get busy on their own.

In it, Haiyao unexpectedly found that familiar figure.

She tilted her head slightly, and her expression began to become a little strange.
