The story of the husband and the son of the doctor and daughter of Houmen

Chapter 318 Xiao Han Love (2)
"My second brother mentioned it several times. Master Hou is so busy that he doesn't even reply to a letter." Yao Yanyu was very happy to hear this, thinking about whether to make an appointment with Sister Han tonight, and then rest at home for a day tomorrow.

"It's really busy. You don't know, I'm so busy that I don't even touch the ground." Xiao Lin said with a smile.

The two of them were only focused on talking, but they threw Yunyao aside as floating dust.

Yun Yao gritted her teeth angrily, looked down at her riding whip, and scolded the guards: "You bastard with no winks! You haven't picked up the riding whip yet!"

The guard hurriedly bent down to pick up the whip.Xiao Lin looked over with a smile on his face, and sighed in surprise: "Oh! The princess is so majestic! It's just that on this street, isn't he afraid to scare the world? No one will dare to come to propose marriage in the future, what can I do?"

"You!" Yun Yao's eyes were red with anger, and she pointed the whip in her hand at Xiao Lin, gnashing her teeth and scolding: "You bastard, you want to die!"

Xiao Lin looked at Yunyao with a smile, not angry at all, but asked with great interest: "Oh? I am looking for death? It wasn't enough for the Princess to whip innocent people in the street before, so why should I also whip the court officials in the street? Really I don't know who gave the princess such courage."

Yun Yao's momentum suddenly weakened.

It's true that she is unreasonable and unreasonable, but she still knows some great truths.The last time the flogging of the common people shocked Yushitai, those shameless and sour literati all participated in their fathers and kings teaching their daughters to be useless, treating human life like nothing.

If he smoked Jinghaihou in the street again this time, the consequences would be disastrous.So she gritted her teeth, snorted, and turned to tell the guards: "Let's go!"

The guards couldn't wait for the sound, so they immediately agreed, turned around and cupped their hands towards Xiao Lin, and left in a hurry.

Xiao Lin looked at Yun Yao's back as he rode away on the horse, and snorted coldly: "Prince Cheng is famous for his life, why did he raise such a daughter?"

Yao Yanyu sighed helplessly: "Now you have offended her terribly. This person will take revenge, Lord Hou, you have to be careful."

"What's the matter? Anyway, I've been offended a long time ago, so it's not bad." Xiao Lin smiled nonchalantly, and said, "It's getting colder today, you should hurry back. I'm also in a hurry to enter the palace. The emperor is still waiting."

"Okay, then you go quickly. See you later." Yao Yanyu didn't say much polite words.

Xiao Lin nodded, pulled the horse over, turned over, and rode away.Yao Yanyu couldn't help laughing watching this man's handsome back disappear into the twilight.Well, sister Han's good news seems to be coming soon.

Xiao Lin returned to Beijing by order this time.Before the emperor was assassinated, he asked someone to send the little crossbow to Xiao Lin.

In fact, the main reason why the emperor asked Xiao Lin to serve as the envoy of salt and iron was not for salt, but for iron.

In this era of cold weapon wars, iron ore mining and iron casting are directly related to the strength of national defense. Without good weapons, no matter how brave a soldier is, he is a tiger with his teeth pulled out, and he has to wait to be slaughtered.

After Xiao Lin received the small crossbow sent by the emperor, he tried his best to find an old craftsman from a cast iron family. After repeated experiments, he finally found that firing in a higher temperature furnace and refining carefully could reduce iron ore dissolution. With the carbon content of the juice, it is possible to cast a harder and stronger, even elastic, forgeable fine steel.

And this small crossbow is made of fine steel.

Afterwards, Xiao Lin asked people to remodel the furnace overnight, forging fine steel according to the new technology, and found skilled craftsmen to disassemble this small crossbow and carefully study and modify it. He forged [-] of them day and night, which were more delicate and more secretive. A stainless steel crossbow that can be used with one hand and shoots ten exquisite sharp arrows in succession.

When he came to Beijing this time, he personally showed this new type of refined steel crossbow to the emperor.

In addition, Yao Yuanzhi received the emperor's order to transfer grain and grass to the grain depot in Liangjiang to transport a large number of grain and grass to the north, and Xiao Lin was also responsible for escorting them.

Yao Yanyu didn't know about this matter, but Yao Yuanzhi and Xiao Lin who were far away in the south of the Yangtze River had already figured it out.The battle situation in the north is afraid that it has reached a stalemate, otherwise the emperor would not have mobilized so much food and grass to go north, nor would he have been in such a hurry to get new weapons.

But when Yao Yanyu came home, she happened to meet Yao Yanyi who had just come back from the outside as soon as she entered the door.

Second Master Yao couldn't help looking at his sister seriously, and said with a smile, "Look at you like this, what's so happy about it?"

"Second Brother, Lord Xiaohou has come to Beijing!" Yao Yanyu said with a happy smile, "I just met him on the street."

"Really?" Yao Yanyi was also happy, "That's great. Did he bring a letter from his father?"

"He's gone to the palace to have a face-to-face meeting now, and he said that if he has time tomorrow, he will come to the house. I won't go to the clinic tomorrow, brother, why don't you take a leave of absence?"

"En." Yao Yanyi nodded. Xiao Lin was no different than others. Ever since the same boat went south that day, the two had talked day and night. Later, he worked in Jiangnan and had many contacts with his father. Pass.

So Second Master Yao ordered Yao Sixi who was beside him: "Go and tell the kitchen to prepare some good ingredients. There will be distinguished guests at home tomorrow."

Yao Sixi hurriedly bowed and agreed: "Yes. It just happened that the second son of the Duke's Mansion sent a bear's paw yesterday, and the servant told the kitchen to stew it in the morning?"

"Well, very good." Second Master Yao nodded in satisfaction.

Yao Yanyu added another sentence: "Be prepared, the second girl of the Duke's Mansion will also come, maybe their second son will also come."

"Yes, I understand." Yao Sixi hurriedly agreed and went to the kitchen.

That night, Princess Yunyao was humiliated in the street, and when she got home, she wanted to sue her mother and concubine.

Princess Cheng is afraid of being reprimanded by Prince Cheng these days, and it has been several months, and the prince has not come to her room to have a meal, let alone rest.She's been with that bastard Li all day long, and Yunmei's clothes are gradually similar to those of Yunyao these days!
Concubine Cheng's life is difficult. Every time she introspects, she knows that her daughter has done too much and offended the prince.So without waiting for Yun Yao to finish speaking, she frowned and said: "You are not young anymore, you are not allowed to ride horses on the street in the future. My daughter's family has no respect."

"Mother concubine?" Yun Yao was stunned, "Are you going to lock up your daughter too?"

Princess Cheng sighed helplessly: "Why do I want to lock you up? It's just that you can't go on like this! Your father doesn't like you like this, and it's not good for you. You have to take care of me these days and stay at home if you have nothing to do. Reading books and practicing calligraphy, playing the piano and playing chess are all good.”

"It's too boring at home, no one is with me!" Yun Yao snorted with her mouth flattened, and said again: "That Xiao Lin is too much! Why should he..."

Princess Cheng interrupted her daughter without waiting for her to finish speaking: "Okay! Don't talk about this. Now the war in the north is unstable, and your father has a cold face every day. If you make him angry again, it will be very cold." Heaven sent you to Zhuangzi, and you will suffer endlessly."
