According to Concubine Rong's instructions, a little eunuch hurriedly moved a chair and placed it behind Ouyang Xue. Ouyang Xue didn't have the backbone to stand up and not be able to eat, so she sat down.

After kneeling for so long, her legs hurt and she couldn't stand anymore.

"Thank you, Lady Gui."

The mother said that the little girl should be polite, and Ouyang Xue was very satisfied with her performance.

Concubine Rong was smiling and looked like a kind elder.

She spoke: "A few days ago, it was the negligence of the palace, and now that you are here, you will live here, and the palace will let people make room next to Xiao Wu for you to live in, and you two sisters can get along well."

When the fifth princess saw that her mother not only helped her punish Ouyang Xue, but let her live with her, she was immediately unwilling.

She stood up and resisted: "Who wants to live with this cheap girl!"

After shouting this, the fifth princess threw up her sleeves and went out.

Concubine Rong said roundly: "Xiao Wu is arrogant, you are well-behaved, I don't want to blame her."

"When you get used to living here in the palace, I will call your mother to come into the palace to reunite with you."

Hearing that she could be reunited with her mother, Ouyang Xue's face turned into a flower.

She confirmed, "Will you really let me meet my mother?"

Concubine Rong smiled with an unfathomable expression, "As long as the county lord is obedient, this palace will naturally reunite your mother and daughter."

"Take the county lord down and serve her well, if this palace finds out that you have neglected her, be careful of your heads."

In the evening, King An's Mansion.

Ou Yangming, Ouyang Jinhua and Jiang Shiying were sitting in the study discussing things.

At this time, a secret guard flashed in, and the dark guard knelt down on one knee and recounted Ouyang Xue's affairs in the palace today.

Hearing that Ouyang Xue was being bullied, Jiang Shiying's eyes turned red with anger, and she stood up and was about to rush out. Ouyang Jinhua hurriedly stopped her to appease.

Ou Yangming also spoke: "Mother, don't worry, since Concubine Rong brought Xue'er to her palace, she won't be bullied in the near future."

"She definitely wants to use her sister to make us submit to the four princes, and before we enter the palace, she will definitely not let her sister suffer any more grievances."

Jiang Shiying was stopped, but her mood did not ease much.

Although they could find out about Ouyang Xue in the past year, there were heavy soldiers outside the mansion to protect them, so they couldn't enter the palace to see Ouyang Xue.

Sometimes she thinks that if she just goes against the royal family! But now is not the time, they can only endure it first.

Far away in Guhuai Village, south of the Wu Dynasty, Jiang Zhiyue also received a reply from Ou Yangming.

It has been four days since Jiang Zhiyue received the reply.

When Jiang Zhiyue received the letter, she was still a little shocked.

She originally thought that even if Ou Yangming replied to the letter, it would pass through Li Wen's hand first.

What Jiang Zhiyue didn't know was that she received the first letter, and the letter written by Ouyang Ming to Li Wen was still on the way.

In the letter, Ou Yangming asked Jiang Zhiyue to do whatever she wanted, and if she needed someone, she could ask Li Wen directly.

The most important thing is the matter of the mine, Ouyang Ming said that he will send a few craftsmen to listen to her. By the way, he also briefly mentioned the situation in Beijing.

Even if Jiang Zhiyue was not in Beijing, she seemed to have seen Ouyang Ming's difficult steps.

Last year, there were countless natural disasters in the Wu Dynasty, and the imperial court did not send much food to help the victims.

On the pretext that the war at the border was tight, the DPRK and China asked the household department to allocate grain and grass funds to the border.

Because it was the grandfather's family of the four princes who were fighting on the border, and now the emperor had to drive the crane west at any time, and the four princes were the princes with the highest voice among the people, and the household department did not dare not release grain.

After the transfer between Concubine Rong and the four princes, these grains, grass and silver finally fell into their own pockets.

The national treasury is tight, and the people have no harvest, and now grain merchants in many places have begun to raise grain prices.

It's already May, and everyone is busy with their feet on the ground.

In addition to Goro Rokuro and Ming Yixi, the rest of the Dalang to Shiro have to participate in this year's college exam, and they either go to school in the town or in the study every day.

However, they did not leave behind to practice martial arts and exercise.

A few days later, another letter that Ouyang Ming handed over to Li Wen and a few reliable craftsmen found by Ouyang Jinhua went to the camp in the mountain range behind Guhuai Village.

Jiang Zhiyue also handed over the affairs of the papermaking workshop to the Jiang family to take care of, and she found a reason to go into the mountains and told the Jiang family that the return date was uncertain.

The letter that Ou Yangming handed to Li Wen explained the arrangements for the mine discovered by Jiang Zhiyue.

After receiving the letter, Li Wen was busy, and the task of arranging people to mine was handed over to him.

Jiang Zhiyue plunged into the house to study higher-quality smelting techniques with the new craftsmen.

The craftsmen who had been arranged had heard that someone could forge iron better, and they had the idea of stealing from the master to learn the art.

It's just that when they saw that the master who came was a little girl, several people were completely stunned.

But soon they were also impressed by Jiang Zhiyue's ability.

The iron she refined was really much stronger than the one she had refined with previous techniques. Four months have passed in a flash.

The temperature in the room was too high, Jiang Zhiyue raised her hand to wipe a handful of sweat, the dust on her hands was stained with sweat, and a black mark appeared on her face the next moment.

A craftsman handed Jiang Zhiyue a glass of water and said with a smile, "Miss Jiang, drink water."

The craftsman was a middle-aged man in his forties, and his eyes were full of admiration when he looked at Jiang Zhiyue at this moment.

Not only him, but even the rest of the people who were older than him admired Jiang Zhiyue very much.

When I first met Jiang Zhiyue, who believed that she was still a girl at such a young age, how could she have any real skills.

But in the past four months, Jiang Zhiyue has brought them too many surprises, which is enough to make them change their attitude.

The most important thing is that Jiang Zhiyue does not hide her selfishness, and if she studies something, she will tell everyone to study it again.

Although the steel has still not been smelted, looking at the iron tools whose purity has improved a lot, Jiang Zhiyue is also satisfied.

Jiang Zhiyue took the cup and drank it all, and put the cup on the table.

"Thank you for your hard work."

The craftsmen smiled and said: "Miss Jiang is too polite when she says this, if you want to say that it is hard or you are the hardest, we old guys would like to thank you for teaching us the true skills of eating without hiding your secrets."

Jiang Zhiyue walked out of the house and raised her hand to shade the sun, and asked Li Wendao, who came over, "How many months is it now?"

Li Wen said with a smile: "Miss Jiang, it's the end of August."

End of August..

Haven't they already taken the hospital exam? Worst!

She promised San Lang that they would cheer them on when they took the test, but she forgot about it.

"You can look at the rest of the arrangement, the mined ore can start to be used as weapons, I'll go first."

Leaving this sentence, Jiang Zhiyue hurriedly ran in the direction of the mountain without even having time to change her clothes.
