Born in the emperor's family, Shen Xiaoyu can't be the master of marriage, even if he reads the painting book, he has read a lot, but the princess who married in this dynasty doesn't seem to have heard of it, let alone a princess?

After Shen Xiaoyu asked, Su Ning nodded: "My father said that since I am a princess, I can't just eat and not work, I should also contribute." ”

Shen Xiaoyu looked at Su Ning in surprise, wondering what this emperor meant?

Southern Xinjiang is not a big country, at best it is a small tribe, and it will not rely on marriage to seek peace, right?

"But what the emperor means, I can't help it......" Shen Xiaoyu made a difficulty, she is not the queen mother, she can manage the emperor! Even if you have the heart, you don't have the ability!

Su Ning said: "Now only you can help me, harem women are not allowed to interfere in politics, and it is useless for my mother to beg, I am afraid that I must marry." ”

Shen Xiaoyu said: "Such a small place in southern Xinjiang, as for marriage? After speaking, he looked at Su Ning and asked, "Don't you say that you are still fighting with Southern Xinjiang?" directly destroyed the southern Xinjiang and made them unable to jump, so they didn't have to get married? ”

Su Ning was stunned for a moment, but then said: "It takes a lot of manpower and financial resources to fight a war, and if you can end the war by marrying a princess, it is also the fastest and most convenient way." "For the sake of a princess, she wasted money and money, and she didn't think it was like that.

Shen Xiaoyu said, "Who are you going to marry?" ”

"Southern Xinjiang is a matrilineal clan, and I am married to the queen's only son, it seems to be called a loach, what is this strange name?" Su Ning said.

As soon as Shen Xiaoyu pondered the name "loach", he thought of the surname of Miao Jiang, the surname of the queen of southern Xinjiang for a long time, and according to the complexity of the surname of southern Xinjiang, he asked: "Is it called Nijiu?" ”

"Ah, it seems to be, how do you know?" Su Ning asked.

"The queen of southern Xinjiang is surnamed Jiu, and the male queen is surnamed Ni, and their children are all suffix with Nijiu, and their names are counted as single." Shen Xiaoyu said that she had read a lot of miscellaneous books and knew a little bit about it.

Su Ning nodded: "Indeed, his name is Gesang Nijiu, and he is said to be the same age, but I don't want to marry a person from southern Xinjiang, I heard that they are hot over there, and they are tanned like a black briquette!" ”

Shen Xiaoyu asked: "Isn't the holy decree not issued yet, I haven't heard of the intention of courting marriage in southern Xinjiang, and the people in southern Xinjiang are not very willing to intermarry with foreign clans, there should be room for things to turn around, and even if it is an intermarriage, you are a princess, and the prince will marry like a daughter!" "In layman's terms, it's an inverted door.

When Su Ning heard this, she cried again: "I don't want to, I was always laughed at because of my bad legs and feet, if I married the black prince of southern Xinjiang, I might as well die!" I can only count on you now, everyone else is loyal and patriotic, I ......"

Shen Xiaoyu sighed: "But I ......" She is really ......

"Forget it, it's useless to look for you, it's hard to ......disobey the holy will," Su Ning cried and said.

Shen Xiaoyu looked at Su Ning's tears, and felt that the feeling of being involuntary was really uncomfortable, and he had experienced it himself, but he was just ......

"There's no way now, I can only let you wait, don't despair, just wait, the opportunity may come." Shen Xiaoyu said that her experience taught her that she could not give up hope, as long as she wanted to persevere.

Su Ning was a little disappointed, she ran out secretly, it had been so good for a long time, and she was going back, it seemed that she was really going to marry the prince of southern Xinjiang.

Hua Liangyu quickly came over, looking at Su Ning's eyes were red and swollen, and knew that Su Ning had cried because of the marriage in southern Xinjiang.

When Su Ning saw Hua Liangyu, she turned her head and walked back.

Shen Xiaoyu looked at Hua Liangyu and said, "Usually look at her more, accompany her, don't let her do anything." ”

This time, Hua Liangyu knew that Shen Xiaoyu was a girl, not a little white face, and her mood was complicated.

"Can't you do it too?" Hua Liangyu said with a sigh.

Shen Xiaoyu looked at Hua Liangyu and said, "You don't want her to marry either, do you?" ”

"Princess Yan is a face-saving woman, and marrying a prince who is not on the stage in the small southern Xinjiang is a shame for the country!" Hua Liangyu said: "She grew up in the palace since she was a child, and I don't want her to have a bad life." After all, I have been taking care of it for a long time, and I don't want to see Su Ning unhappy.

Shen Xiaoyu sent Hua Liangyu away, and she also made a difficulty, she is an eight-rank official, she has no backstage and no background, and there are very few things that can be done.

After leaving the Yamen of the Ministry of Industry, as soon as Shen Xiaoyu returned home, he saw the red dates running over happily and said, "Our son-in-law has sent a letter!" ”

Shen Xiaoyu was really happy when he heard that it was Qin Huaijin's letter, Qin Huaijin had been gone for so many days, and this was the first letter.

After receiving the letter, Shen Xiaoyu hurried back to the room, and then read the letter quietly.

There is not much content in the letter, mainly to report safety, and after Shen Xiaoyu read it, his heart was also steady. Hurriedly wrote a reply letter and told me about the situation at home.

Red dates came over with bird's nest porridge at this time and said, "Uncle Hu said that the meal will be opened soon, and the son has a letter, and Miss Xiaoyu will definitely be able to eat two more bowls of rice!" ”

Shen Xiaoyu smiled and nodded, in a good mood and much better in appetite.

The life at home is still according to the schedule, Shen Xiaoyu also goes to the Yamen of the Ministry of Industry every day to order, Yao Cheng sees that Shen Xiaoyu comes so diligently, and he also wonders, he is not busy now, Shen Xiaoyu will not come so diligently, it seems that he is still working very hard all day.

"Xiaoyu, you ......" Yao Cheng looked at the drawings on Shen Xiaoyu's table, as if he was studying something!

When Shen Xiaoyu saw that it was Yao Cheng, he asked, "Lord Yao, I want to inquire about something!" ”

Yao Cheng asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"What's going on with the battle on the front line in southern Xinjiang? Did our trebuchet deliver? Shen Xiaoyu asked.

Yao Cheng was very surprised, so he asked, "Why are you asking this?" ”

"I want to make southern Xinjiang have no power to turn over!" Shen Xiaoyu said: "Anyway, there is a war on the left and right, take this opportunity to make Southern Xinjiang unable to turn over, and there will be no marriage!" ”

Yao Cheng was taken aback: "Marriage? What marriage? ”

Shen Xiaoyu said: "I don't want our princess to marry the prince of southern Xinjiang. ”

"Who did you listen to?" Yao Cheng said: "And if the princess marries or not, what does it have to do with you?" However, after asking, Yao Cheng remembered that Shen Xiaoyu was able to come to the Ministry of Industry on an errand at the beginning, although it was the emperor's order, but it seemed to have something to do with the princess.

The decree has not yet been made, everything is still in the planning stage, but she also has to work harder, and after the final decision, she must also make some efforts, praying that the result will not be the worst.

Shen Xiaoyu took out the half-finished drawings he had drawn and showed them to Yao Cheng, and said, "My lord, I also make new crossbow arrows!" ”

"Huh?" Yao Cheng didn't react a little and said, "Make a new crossbow arrow?" ”

Shen Xiaoyu nodded, looked at his drawings, and said, "The crossbow arrows used by the military department now seem to be from twenty years ago, and they are said to be the best performing crossbow arrows at present." I want to make something new, with a longer range and more power! ”

Yao Cheng looked at the drawings, but they were still semi-finished products, and he couldn't see anything specific.

"Xiaoyu, I also serve you, you are a girl, why do you like to study these weapons used to fight and kill so much?" Yao Cheng asked.

Shen Xiaoyu said: "It's a long story, if there is a chance in the future, I will definitely say that if there is no such thing as Bancheng, I will not mention it in the future!" She also owes Su Ning a promise, she can't marry Su Ning, and now she only hopes that Su Ning won't marry someone she doesn't want to marry.

Yao Cheng watched Shen Xiaoyu get into it again, so he left first, feeling that he was not old, and he was not as good as Shen Xiaoyu's fighting spirit as a girl!

Shen Xiaoyu has been studying crossbow arrows in the room for days, drawing a lot of drawings, and thinking about a lot of ideas about the fuselage and the width of the machine, even taking into account the materials. The people in the yamen also knew that Shen Xiaoyu was studying and practicing hard, and no one dared to disturb him.

Master Yuan was idle, so he went to Shen Xiaoyu to take a look, looked at the drawings and said, "This drawing is a bit interesting, but it is not easy to make a drawing that surpasses the current crossbow arrows!" ”

Shen Xiaoyu was convinced by Master Yuan, so he asked, "Why is this?" Am I where I'm missing? ”

Master Yuan said with a smile: "This crossbow arrow is also a commonly used weapon in all dynasties, how many masters are researching, generation after generation to bring forth the new, to you, it is already the crystallization of many wisdom." ”

When Shen Xiaoyu heard this, he said: "Even so, there will always be something new coming out, I don't believe this is the end." ”

Hearing Shen Xiaoyu say this, Master Yuan raised his eyebrows, looking at Shen Xiaoyu's energy, it was a bit like when he was young.

"It's a good material, if you make a crossbow bolt that is better than the existing crossbow arrows, I will count you as a teacher!" Master Yuan said.

Shen Xiaoyu looked over and said, "This is considered a teacher?" I haven't learned Master Yuan's skills yet! She sneered, she was still far behind!

Master Yuan said: "Because I made the crossbow arrows twenty years ago. ”

Shen Xiaoyu's eyes widened instantly, which she didn't expect!

"Really?!" Shen Xiaoyu was very surprised, but he was also very proud that he could have such a powerful senior to take care of him.

Master Yuan said: "So if you can win against me, even if you are a teacher!" I'll give you my set of stainless steel knives too! "It's like passing on a mantle to yourself.

When Shen Xiaoyu heard this, he said, "Cheng, don't feel distressed when the time comes!" "That set of stainless steel knives is rare, Shen Xiaoyu has seen it for a long time until she wants the same set, she must make the crossbow arrows this time, she also wants to stir up Huang in Su Ning's marriage, and she also wants that knife!

For a month, Shen Xiaoyu worked hard, even made samples, and found a place where no one was in the backyard of the yamen, wanting to practice, but found that he was not a person who practiced martial arts, and he couldn't shoot accurately, and his own test was not helpful for calibration.

"My lord, I want people." Shen Xiaoyu took his drawings and good things to find Yao Cheng, Yao Cheng's official position was there, and there were many things that could be done!
