Chapter 180: Leaning
After taking a sip of tea, Jiang Ning said with great interest:
"In the past few days, through Diana's guidance, the master craftsman in the army has successfully developed the Franc cannon, and the test firing is also very good.
Yesterday, I had already sent a report to the imperial court, and asked the military department to order the ordnance superintendent to put all the original artillery first, and cast this kind of Franco cannon on a large scale.
After all the sailors have been reequipped, they will first practice with those remnants of the Japanese pirates, and then they will be able to deal with the Western pirates and even the Francois army in the future. β
That's right, he's been so busy these days that he can't even take care of government affairs, he's just staring at the progress of the manufacture of the Franc cannon.
The hard work pays off, and the results are rapid and gratifying.
He Yuyao nodded frequently when she heard this, and suddenly withdrew her soft hair, twisted her graceful waist, walked to the Taishi chair, and sat down next to Jiang Ning.
The chair is spacious enough for two people.
It's just a little crowded.
Jiang Ning could clearly feel the softness coming from his side, and there was a little plumpness.
There was also a burst of fresh and elegant fragrance diffusing around him.
He Yuyao only felt that one of her hearts trembled, and inevitably accelerated and jumped, thumping.
In the beautiful eyes is a bottomless pool of spring water, the eyes are like silk, and the cheeks are dyed with a seductive flush.
She endured her shyness and deliberately found a topic and said:
"Then why is the Franc cannon so fast? Can you explain the confusion of the slave family? β
Jiang Ning's hands clenched unconsciously, and explained:
"I don't know much about it, but I have a general understanding of the inside of this Franc cannon, and there is a separate barrel.
The internal barrel is filled with gunpowder first, and then the other tube is replaced after one tube is fired, which greatly shortens the time to fill the gunpowder, and the speed of firing the cannon is naturally increased. β
"I see."
He Yuyao seemed to like listening to these things, and frequently asked artillery-related questions for Jiang Ning to answer.
And the delicate body continued to stick on little by little.
In addition, the weather is hot, and the clothes are relatively thin, which adds a bit of charm to the atmosphere in the room.
Jiang Ning didn't mean to move away at all, and his body gradually relaxed.
The two of them just sat in a tacit understanding.
Suddenly, He Yuyao stopped asking about the artillery, turned to look at Jiang Ning with burning eyes, and said coquettishly:
"Since the Franc cannon was developed so quickly with Diana's help, I think she really worked.
In my opinion, is it because she became your fiancΓ©e that she suddenly changed her attitude? β
Jiang Ning was stunned, looked directly at He Yuyao's beautiful eyes, and said, "What do you mean?" β
He Yuyao was not afraid of his stern gaze, but felt very relieved.
She looked serious and said:
"Although the adult's home is surrounded by beauty, I still don't know so much about women.
Today, the slave family has the courage to teach the adults.
Women are different from men. If she chooses to give without asking for anything in return, it means that you have occupied a unique place in her heart.
Vice versa.
If the adults really give Diana a support, then she will completely settle down and entrust her heart to the adults.
So what the slave family means, the adults should really accept her, otherwise she will be worried and anxious sooner or later just by appeasing her in such a name. β
Jiang Ning's eyes changed and changed.
He didn't know this truth, and he didn't know that He Yuyao was actually talking about himself.
Indeed, he was sorry for her too much.
His gaze finally softened, Jiang Ning stared at He Yuyao tightly, and stopped talking.
The two looked at each other, both understanding the meaning in each other's eyes.
He Yuyao smiled, her beautiful eyes were covered with a layer of mist, and crystal tears gradually swirled.
Just when she almost couldn't hold back her affection and wanted to throw herself into Jiang Ning's arms, Luzhu suddenly walked in.
He also held two bowls of white fungus soup in his hands.
"Adult, miss, freshly chilled white fungus soup, it's delicious......"
Before Lu Zhu finished speaking, he met his young lady's slightly angry and disgusted gaze.
Looking at the sitting posture of the two people in front of her, she almost wanted to turn around and leave, lamenting that she had not come at the right time.
"Put it down."
He Yuyao looked at the green bamboo and didn't leave, nor did he come over, so he glanced at him angrily.
"Yes, miss."
Lu Zhu pursed his lips and hurriedly put the white fungus soup on the table beside him, and left as if he were running away.
He Yuyao picked up a bowl, scooped up a spoonful of cold and sweet soup, and fed it to Jiang Ning's mouth.
Jiang Ning drank it subconsciously, only to feel that it was refreshing and dissipated the unbearable heat on his body.
"It's sweet."
He Yuyao listened to it and fed it again.
"It's noon now, after the adults finish drinking, why don't you rest here at the slave's house, take a nap, and feel more energetic in the afternoon."
Jiang Ning didn't hesitate much, and nodded: "Okay." Take another bite. β
He Yuyao fed spoonful after spoonful with a smile, as if she had drunk honey in her heart, sweet.
It was a scene that she had seen countless times in her dreams.
What was out of reach in the past is getting closer and closer at this moment.
After drinking the white fungus soup slowly, Jiang Ning lay down on the Taishi chair.
He Yuyao got up and covered him with a thin blanket, then walked to the side and sat down after the guqin that had been placed a long time ago.
Jiang Ning slowly fell asleep in the mountains and flowing water as pleasant as fairy sounds.
Following.
Because most of the things have come to an end, it is rare that there is nothing to do, so Jiang Ning took the time to take He Yuyao and Diana out of the city for an outing.
Before they knew it, they had come to a secluded and quiet valley.
Although the scenery is beautiful, because of the chaos in Fujian, there are no people who come to play at all.
Only those who are so leisurely and comfortable as Jiang Ning, and who have enough force to guarantee it, will come.
Passing through a secluded bamboo forest, the group came to the tinkling stream.
Jiang Ning looked at the surrounding scenery of hollow valleys, orchids, birds singing and flowers, and said with a smile: "Let's camp here, rest here for a night at night, and go back tomorrow." β
"Gotcha!"
Wu Cannu answered, and hurriedly took his own soldiers to work.
Soon the four tents were set up.
Give Jiang Ning, He Yuyao, Diana, Red Sleeves and Green Bamboo to rest.
Hundreds of soldiers were stationed on the grass hundreds of feet away, forming a circle around this place to ensure that no one or wild beasts would break in.
Subsequently, Wu Chounu asked some of his soldiers to go hunting in the mountains and prepare for food.
Not far away, Diana's shouting could be heard.
Jiang Ning and He Yuyao glanced at each other, shook their heads and smiled bitterly: "Go and see, this girl doesn't know what she did again." β
As Diana completely confessed her identity, she also opened her heart, gradually revealing her dignified and elegant nature.
After all, no matter what, it's an eighteen-year-old girl.
The two walked side by side to the end of the bamboo forest.
I saw a small cliff in front of me, and the silver-white waterfall cascaded down into the sparkling lake below.
"My lord, this lake is very beautiful."
Diana saw Jiang Ning and ran to him happily.
"That's good."
Jiang Ning walked over and took a look, and said with a smile:
"There should be fish here, and now the official is also a hermit in the mountains who is leisurely and elegant.
Ugly slave, go get the fishing rod. β
Wu Chounu answered, and was about to turn around and leave, Diana hurriedly said:
"No, no, no, I'm going to swim and play here with Lord He, my lord, you can go fishing elsewhere."
He Yuyao was startled, and couldn't help but glance at Jiang Ning, and her pretty face quickly turned crimson.
She never thought of playing in the water in front of others.
Whether it's male or female.
What's more, in the mountains and wilderness like this, shame can shame a person to death.
"I, I'd better forget it, I'm not very water-savvy."
He Yuyao blushed and snorted.
Jiang Ning smiled:
"It doesn't matter, the water is shallow, so it's good to go in and take a dip.
Ugly slave, all the personal soldiers and guards are separated, and no matter what, you are not allowed to step into the bamboo forest for half a step. β
"My subordinates understand."
Wu Chounu answered the promise and hurriedly ran out of the bamboo forest.
"Okay, you guys play, it's the same with me going fishing in that creek."
Jiang Ning glanced at He Yuyao intentionally or unintentionally, and left quickly.
Soon it was noon.
Jiang Ning looked at the few fish in the basket with satisfaction, and when he was about to close the rod, he saw that the two girls had just come back from the bamboo forest.
However, only Diana's hair was wet, and He Yuyao's dress was the same, not at all like she had been in the water.
Xu is not embarrassed after all.
It is no wonder that the etiquette of the Ming Dynasty is not as open as the West.
"My lord, the water in the lake is cool, and the sun is shining down and warm, and it is very comfortable.
It's a pity that I can't persuade her, but I can't persuade her. β
Jiang Ning smiled, his gaze paused on Diana, who ran to the front.
I have to say that this exotic beauty is also a natural stunner.
Pure and charming, like a lazy kitten.
Coupled with black hair and fair skin, it is especially in line with Daming's aesthetics.
At this moment, it is like a hibiscus out of the water.
Seeing Jiang Ning looking straight at Diana, with a look of appreciation in his eyes, He Yuyao couldn't help but pursed her ruddy little mouth, a little sour.
She regretted it.
