Xu Qiniang couldn't help sighing, her age was similar to that of Mrs. Qiao, and she naturally could better understand Mrs. Qiao's sadness and helplessness of worrying about her children and working hard all her life.

"I just look forward to the hard work of the old gentleman, so don't let Rui Gongzi waste it."

Mrs. Qiao is running so hard for the future of Rui Gongzi, Qiao Rui is not her own son, how can she do it so much, how can she not make people sigh and sigh!

She just put her hopes on others completely, but she can't understand the impermanence of the world and the fickleness of people's hearts. If she doesn't find a way out for herself, she will give her life to the hands of others, and life and death are unpredictable. Qiao Wei's tone was a little cold.

Although Qiao Wei feels that it is not inevitable to use blood relations to bind family affection, but in the process of parents raising their children, the emotional connection with their children is what can really make each other unbreakable relatives before.

This is also why Qiao Wei suggested that Mrs. Qiao choose a baby among the candidates sent by the Qiao family, only the children raised by their own hands will be filial and considerate from the heart.

Looking at Sun Quan, he also knows that no matter how unreasonable and strong Mrs. Wu is, even if Sun Quan is angry, he will always be soft-hearted, endure the discomfort in his heart, and arrange a safe old age for Mrs. Wu.

Xu Qiniang naturally understood why Qiao Wei was angry, but she was also an elderly mother, and Xu Qiniang was obviously more empathetic to Mrs. Qiao.

Qiao Wei glanced back at Xu Miniang, "Speaking of which, my aunt is not as blessed as Mi Niang." Ah Lu has both his wife and has saved a lot of property, he has always been filial, and you are all right. ”

Compared with Qiao Rui's low-eyed goods, Xu Lu's adopted son Xu Lu can also be regarded as a family child, raised from infancy, diligent and thoughtful, and he is also very dedicated to managing the rough affairs of Juxu Pavilion, and now he has a bit of face in front of the servants of the Sun family.

After coming to Wu County, he also took out the body he had saved, bought two houses, and begged Qiao Wei for the meaning, wanting to wait for two years to take Xu Miniang to the new house to care for the elderly.

Qiao Wei naturally won't not.

Xu Yiniang thought of her adopted son, and she was quite comforted, "It is also Xijun who is lenient and willing to explain his work, which can be regarded as a blessing for Xijun." ”

"It's his own diligence, if he is like Qiao Rui's straw bale, he can't even do it roughly, what is there to appreciate and not appreciate."

Qiao Wei is talking about Qiao Rui's no, that is the contradiction between the masters, Xu Miniang is not easy to interject, so she has to keep her mouth shut.

Xiaoye doesn't have this scruples, "Then Xijun still asked Rui Gongzi to go to Yuedan to comment?" ”

Seeing that Xiao Ye was so rude, Xu Yiniang secretly glared at her and warned her not to discuss the affairs of the main family in private.

Xiao Ye had already asked the question, only to see Xu Miniang's eyes, realized that she had said the wrong thing, and hurriedly covered her mouth.

Qiao Wei didn't mind, "He didn't dare to go!" ”

A straw bag with an empty belly, that is, can pretend to be a little bit in front of Old Madam Qiao, leave the Qiao family, and in front of the real world's talents, he has to be exposed at a glance.

At the end of the month of Layue, Sun Quan also sealed the seal and took Qiao Wei to Jintai to see the excitement.

Sun Quan changed into civilian clothes and led Qiao Wei all the way to the market, enjoying this rare time.

After the autumn, Shanyue was in turmoil frequently, and Sun Quan dispatched Huang Gai and others to the county magistrates of the southern counties respectively, and sent troops to suppress and deter. However, the people of Shanyue fought bravely, and made good use of the terrain of the mountains, hidden in the mountains and forests, which could be attacked and defended, and it was difficult to find traces, so it was difficult to exterminate.

Huang Gai, Han Dang and others could only defend and repel the mountain Yue Sect Marshals, and barely protect the people in the county from invading.

Sun Quan is also often worried about this.

It's so easy to celebrate the New Year, and the official affairs are all sealed, and the tight strings can finally be loosened after a year.

On the day of the first day of the first lunar month, it is also necessary to worship the heavens and ancestors, and send officials to Xudu to meet him, which is a busy and laborious day.

Qiao Wei may not have gone out for a long time, and even Mo Sangongzi was a little surprised when he saw her, and couldn't help but quip, "It didn't appear until the end of the year, madam, this is a noble person, I don't know if I haven't done it for a long time, I'm afraid this craft is going to be rusty." ”

Qiao Wei took a newly changed sleeve arrow from Youye's hand, "If you are busy, I'm afraid that I can't compare to the third son, let you help me change this sleeve arrow, you can't be empty, I had to think about it myself for a month, change this one, you can see for yourself, but it's better than what you said last time?" ”

Mo Sangongzi took the sleeve arrow in his hand and looked at it and said, "Madame's craftsmanship and ingenuity are naturally unique. ”

At this time, he saw Sun Quan walking in from outside, and hurriedly bowed his body and saluted, "The prince is visiting, and his subordinates are not welcome." I hope that the prince will forgive the sins. ”

Sun Quan raised his hand to help Mo Sangongzi up, "Qing has worked hard, Si Jinchang's affairs are many and important, so I should thank Qing for being alone." Lonely but traveling with his wife in civilian clothes, he also walked around casually, and he didn't come for official business. Don't be nervous. ”

Mo Sangongzi nodded yes, Qiao Wei saw that Mo Sangongzi was uncomfortable, so after discussing with him for a while about the plan for improving the Hidden Arrow, he also got up and said goodbye.

Before leaving, Mo Sangongzi took out a clever drawing and gave it to Qiao Wei, "This is the drawing and explanation sent by a subordinate colleague in Wancheng, saying that it is used to improve the hundred steels." ”

Hundred steelmaking is currently the hardest forging material that can be made in the goldsmith's factory, but the process of steelmaking and forging is very complex, and it is difficult to popularize it for all weapons casting. So far, the so-called Hundred Refining Techniques can only achieve eighty refining at most, which is already the extreme, and the number is very rare, and now it is only enough to equip a small number of high-ranking generals.

Even Sun Quan failed to possess a sword of 100 steel. This year, Si Jinchang only produced a spear and sword of eighty refinements, which were given to Zhao Yun and Zhou Yu respectively.

Zhao Yun and Zhou Yu were stationed in Runan and Wancheng respectively, facing the attacks and harassment of Cao's army, and this reward was also to reward them for their hard work.

"You've seen it, is there anything feasible?"

Mo Sangongzi first nodded, and then shook his head, "If you talk about this skill alone, maybe it's really feasible, but ...... With the current strength of the gold factory, I am afraid that it will be difficult to support. ”

Sun Quan suddenly became interested, and put down the tea bowl in his hand, "Qing might as well talk about it in detail." ”

Mo San Gongzi thought for a while, "I'm not very good at steelmaking, so I also went to consult a few experienced craftsmen, and I have also done experiments, which can indeed increase the weight of smelting 100 steel, but the manpower required is several times higher than that of 80 refining."

And it needs to be mixed with the right weather and the right concrete to cast, so to speak, there are some things that can be met but not sought. ”

The ordinary 100 steels are actually 60 refining, because they can't withstand the forging of 80 refining, but the number of 100 steels that can withstand 80 refining is already very small, if you still need to invest several times the manpower, in order to get the real 100 steel, it is indeed from the perspective of input-output ratio, it is really not cost-effective, not to mention that the success rate is not high enough.

This means that it is likely that all the manpower and material resources invested will be wasted.

But Mo Sangongzi still left this skill description.

"It doesn't seem that the skill is rare, but that this person is rare, right?"
