"Tell me to go down, let Tianji Pavilion study it, see if it can be used on weapons, and if you don't understand, ask Elder Wang, and let him find a way to explain."

Twilight Jingyi explained to Lou Yan in a light tone.

"Yes", Lou Yan was as usual, the language was short and never a word.

"Luo Xiaoqiao's master, who is it, have you found out?"

"No, their family is an honest farmer, it is said that after Luo Xiaoqiao fell, his temperament began to change greatly, and he did one thing after another, but no one in the Luo family was suspicious"

"Yuanzhi, what do you think of this Luo Xiaoqiao?" Twilight Jingyi looked at Wei Yuanzhi, who was also a little stunned, and asked.

"It's strange that the little girl has the ability to come, but as long as she is not from that side, what she has done so far is also beneficial to us, and she is a talent worth wooing," Wei Yuanzhi said.

Twilight nodded and didn't speak.

"Ah Yi, you say, this Luo Xiaoqiao knows so many things, is it possible for her to also make weapons?" Wei Yuanzhi's eyes sparkled and he asked.

"It's possible, if I feel right, that she's still testing, testing our position and attitude, just as we don't trust her completely. So don't worry, let Wang Lao go step by step," Mu Jingyi said.

"Lord Wang, over there in the imperial court, this year's grain and grass are still in arrears, if the stick country takes the opportunity to start a war again, I am afraid that it will ......" Bian Wenliang next to him mentioned it with some concern.

"Feng Er's glass has made a lot of money this year, so let him keep a low profile and replace it with grain and grass for later use. There is also Roche's furniture, so when he goes out to take, try to exchange it for food"

"Okay", Wei Yuanzhi nodded, "But if it goes on for so long, I'm afraid it's not a way, those families, I'm afraid they are still waiting for us to compromise, in exchange for more benefits."

"This year, from now on, continue to stock up on food in case of emergency", Twilight Jingyi pondered for a while, and said:

"Luo Xiaoqiao wants to try growing vegetables in winter, whether it succeeds or not, it is an inspiration. Let You Shen do it along, if it is really successful, didn't she also talk about rice seedlings? Give it a try then. ”

"Yes"...

But the people who are worried about Luo Xiaoqiao are really not the only ones.

In the west of Xingcheng City, there is a flower street called "Bamboo Fence", there are pavilions and pavilions on both sides, carved beams and painted buildings, it is very clean in the daytime, but it is a good place for many forces to inquire about news.

Shangguan Qiao and the heads of the family made an appointment here to drink and chat.

"The second child of the Feng family, where did you get these secret recipes?" Shangguan Qiao looked at the heads of the families with sad faces below and asked.

King Jing needs the family's financial resources and connections, and so does he.

Although Shangguan Qiao, as a member of the second rank, is the governor of the imperial court stationed in the north, he also serves as the garrison supervisor. But in reality, he has no say in military affairs.

The family has been married for generations, and the roots are intertwined.

The Hong, Kang, and Wu families have close ties with the DPRK and China, and they also have ambitions to go further, which is why several are currently only looking to him.

But the family is very profitable, and if the Fengfu continues to develop like this, it is hard to say whether the people on his side will be shaken.

"Back to Lord Shangguan, I heard that the glass was made by accident by the master of the Fangcheng glazed kiln, and as for the rubber, he transported it from Ocean Flower Island," Jiang Ce said.

"The head of the Wu family and our Hong family also have an industry on Ocean Flower Island, but I have never heard that the glue can be used like this", Hong Deyou also frowned.

While several heads of the family were talking, a petty official who followed him, named He Lude, sat in the corner, a little speechless and stopped.

Originally, this kind of scene was not his turn, he recently hollowed out his mind to please Shangfeng, today he came to report to Shangfeng by chance, Shangfeng was anxious to come to Shangguan Qiaoba here to discuss matters, considering his recent stammering and flattery, he waved his hand and brought him over.

Looking at Shangguan Qiao's somewhat dark face, the junior official raised his sleeves, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and let it out: "Lord Qiqi Shangguan"

Shangguan Qiao looked at him coldly, he was a seventh-grade petty official, he was irritable for a while, and said angrily: "Say"

"Lord Shangguan, as far as Xiaguan knows, the second young master of the Feng family gradually became popular after he met a peasant girl in Luojia Village."

He Lude said tremblingly, his voice still trembling a little.

"Is that true?" Jiang Ce's hand touching his beard paused for a moment, and asked in disbelief.

"Yes, yes, my subordinates listened to what was said in the backyard, and my next aunt has relatives in Luojia Village, I heard that Feng Er Gongzi often goes over to find a little girl, and that little girl has made a lot of rare things, even if she is not a key person, she knows the details."

Shangguan Qiao's eyes narrowed, a peasant girl?

"Master, the minion remembered", the butler next to him also saw the opportunity and added.

"Before the Fengfu Bonsai Exhibition, the fountain bonsai was from this Luo Xiaoqiao girl, I don't know what happened later, the Feng family sent two people over, and said to take care of the Luo family"

"Interesting", Hong Deyou also stroked his beard.

"What do you think?" Shangguan Qiao said.

The people below talked a lot and argued, some said to be forcible and some said to be gentle.

"As far as the lower officials know, not only the feudal mansion, but even King Jing also has a part in her industry, and this Luo family can't be moved," a petty official analyzed.

"Lord Shangguan, it's not easy for us to move this peasant girl on the surface, but no one can stop the children and daughters, if they become in-laws, then the secret recipe will be caught?" The head of the Wu family proposed a method.

"It's a way, Shinong Industry and Commerce, no matter how much the old man of the Feng family takes a fancy to her, it is impossible to give her the identity of a scholar," Hong Deyou said.

"A peasant girl, marrying is too much for them to face, and she is barely a concubine." Jiang Ce said disapprovingly.

"You have to give them faces, one step to the top of the genius to talk about moving, if you take a concubine, if you meet an ambitious person, it will be a bad thing"

After Hong Deyou finished speaking, he added, "Find a concubine with a side branch, it's almost there."

"But I heard that the little peasant girl is only twelve years old, and she hasn't reached Yan yet."

"She has a sister who is already fourteen or fifteen years old, and she hasn't had anyone yet", He Lude hurriedly interjected.

"Since it was proposed by the head of the Hong family, in the eyes of the head of the Hong family, is there a suitable candidate?" Shangguan Qiao asked.

"The villain goes back and arranges it", Hong Deyou hurriedly responded, not to mention the concubine of the side branch, even if it is a descendant, if it can really be done, he has to give it up. This is not a daughter-in-law, this is money, even a sow, and she has to go!

"Your name is Ho Luther?" Shangguan Qiao raised his eyes.

"Back to the words of adults, villain He Lude".

"You have a meritorious service this time, there is a vacancy in the Jicheng Mansion, let Lord Sun say hello, and you will go there to take up your post"

"Lord Xie, Lord Xie, the villain must do a good job", He Lude kowtowed and retreated like pounding garlic.

Hong Deyou's movements were extremely fast, but the side children who received the news were not very happy.

"Dad, why do you want me to marry a peasant girl?" , Hong Shaowei was full of resentment, "Is she worthy?" ”

"Master", the aunt also cried, "Shaowei is also your child, why not someone else?" ”

"What can we do when the head of the house orders it?" Master Hong also had a hideous face.

"You do things well, aren't you just a peasant woman, marry first, there are more ways to divorce your wife, and if you can't divorce, it's a big deal to die. If we do it well this time, we may be able to go further."

The aunt wiped away her tears, and her face was full of coldness: "I want to see who is worth sacrificing our Wei'er's marriage." ”

The head of the family thinks it's good, but why don't you use your own concubine! Although they are side branches, marrying peasant girls will also be ridiculed in the upper class.
