Chapter 296: Give me a pillow when you feel sleepy
As soon as the Lan family father and son left, Xie Fengyue straightened her hair and was about to look for Lu Mei. You Heng said quickly when he saw her: "Madam, maybe I heard wrong just now. Mr. Lu is not looking for you."
Xie Fengyue narrowed her eyes slightly and said in a cold voice: "Are you lying to me?"
You Heng understood immediately that the girl looked angry. He was so anxious that he started coughing while covering his chest. His face turned red and he couldn't say a complete sentence.
"No cough. Yes... cough cough, me"
Xie Fengyue glanced at him, and instead of stepping forward to support him like before, she continued to talk coldly: "Since my husband is not in good health, he should rest in the house, why go out and be blown by the wind every day."
After saying this, she stretched out her hand and motioned for Zhi Zhi to take him away.
You Heng's fingers were trembling with anxiety. He knew this girl quite well. In the past, as long as she didn't go out of her way, she would laugh it off, but now she couldn't tolerate deception at all.
Just when he was so anxious that he almost admitted his mistake, there were footsteps approaching from far away, and Lu Mei appeared at the door like a magic weapon descending from the sky: "Princess, there is new progress in the white glue matter. Adjutant Wu invites you to come and take a look." Look.”
You Heng's stiff back relaxed visibly, and he spread his hands and smiled helplessly.
Xie Fengyue just glanced at him with her peripheral vision, turned around and walked out the door.
Seeing this, Lu Mei asked You Heng with her eyes what was going on?
You Heng shook his head helplessly, he understood now.
I won't be able to make excuses to fool this girl in the future, she seems to be unable to withstand a little bit of deception.
He was sighing when his thoughts suddenly turned to his current identity.
You Heng couldn't sigh anymore, so he didn't need to break the branches to ask for help, so he hurried to the house. As soon as he entered the house, he locked the door, and then sat down by the bronze mirror, carefully looking at the human skin mask on his face. .
When he saw a trace of dry wrinkles at the end of his left eye, his heart was in his throat.
Suddenly there was only one thought in my mind!
You Heng must die quickly!
If Xie Fengyue knew that he lied to her about such a big thing
Gongzi Yan simply didn't dare to think about it.
The opportunity he wanted came quickly. After Xie Fengyue went to the temporary shed built by Adjutant Wu, he decided to go to sea when he came back.
The reason is very simple. Xie Fengyue found that after adding the sap of white tree bark to the white glue, the toughness was indeed significantly improved, but if you want to have armor, it is not enough.
Xie Fengyue only used 70% to 80% of the strength to pierce the big lump of white glue that had condensed, and the hairpin was able to pierce it directly.
She was able to pierce a woman without exerting all her strength, let alone those trained soldiers. This was far from what she expected.
Just when she was about to give up making it, a local from Yongning mentioned that if she wanted a natural adhesive, she could try going to Fuso Island not far from Yongning to look for a kind of grass called narrow-leaved grass.
When Xie Fengyue heard this, she immediately made up her mind and went to Fusang.
She knew about Fuso Island. When Qian'an opened the imperial court, the emperor had originally planned to go there. However, the aristocratic families criticized Fuso Island for being such a tiny place. It was also backward and uncivilized. It was simply a waste of time to include it in the territory. It was a waste of manpower and material resources, not to mention that the Qian'an Dynasty did not have a navy capable of sending troops to fight. So the matter was dropped.
Now that we have decided to go to Fuso, the ship is the top priority.
All four large ships of the Yongning government went to sea with Xiao Xuan to search for minerals.
If you want to do your job well, you must first sharpen your tools. How can you go to sea without a good ship and sailor captain? So Xie Fengyue diverted directly to Lan Mansion. If she remembered correctly, the existing "hao" in Yongning The sects are all dominated by the Lan family,
As soon as she arrived at Lan Mansion, she was greeted personally by Lan Cunren.
Xie Fengyue was not the kind of person who minced words. She made her words clear directly: "I hope Master Lan will lend me two boats. I want to go to sea to go to Fusang." Before he could evade, Xie Fengyue continued: " If the head of the Lan family agrees, I can allocate half of it to the Lan family in the wasteland.”
Lan Cunren's eyes rolled, and he lowered his voice and asked: "What is there in Fusang and other barbarian lands that would make the princess come to visit in person?"
Xie Fengyue only replied half-heartedly: "Most of the people I brought here are seasick. My doctor needs some medicinal materials from Fuso Island to develop an anti-sickness medicine."
"Then the princess still needs me to send someone to escort you there?"
Lan Cunren's dark face was just short of writing "This is another price."
Xie Fengyue smiled and shook her head: "That's not necessary. There are still some people among the soldiers who do not suffer from fainting."
Xie Fengyue's words have reached this point, and Lan Cunren can't refuse him emotionally, rationally, publicly or privately.
He waved to the boy behind him and said, "What are you doing? If you don't bring Princess Yongning the Four Treasures of the Study, why would you bother Princess Yongning to make two trips?"
After saying that, there was a hint of apologetic smile on his face: "My lord, please forgive me, but the servant in my mansion doesn't even know how to use pen and ink to write a document."
Xie Fengyue had a smile on her face and said nothing.
The two of them never talked about the document from beginning to end, but he used a non-irritating method to implement it half-heartedly.
She had a new impression of the head of the Lan family. She originally thought that this man was just a lustful ghost who bullied the weak and was afraid of the strong, but she didn't expect that he was a smart man with a gap in his heart.
Xie Fengyue thought about it carefully and felt that it was normal. If this Lan Cunren was a pure idiot, then the continuation of the Lan family would be a blessing to the ancestral grave, not to mention that he had made other families follow his lead.
The two parties had already reached an agreement, and it was not troublesome to write a note. In less than half a cup of tea, the matter was completely finalized.
"The ship is parked on the west side of the big fishing port." Lan Cunren said as he took out the token from his arms and handed it to Xie Fengyue. "The captain and his sailors on the ship are all rough men who have been working for the Lan family for more than ten years. They are on the positioning of the ship." They are all good people. If they say or do anything that offends the princess, I hope the princess will forgive me. When they return to Yongning, I will personally escort them to confess to the princess. "
< br>
Lan Cunren's words were very clever, and the implication was to tell Xie Fengyue not to go overboard and deal with his people.
Xie Fengyue rarely saw a master who could consider the slaves. She smiled from the bottom of her heart and said: "Master Lan, don't worry."
The matter was finalized, Xie Fengyue felt much relieved, and she even used half an extra bowl of rice porridge during the evening meal.
You Heng was surprised by what he saw and asked garrulously: "Is there any happy event for the lady?"
Xie Fengyue scooped up a spoonful of porridge and swallowed it before saying, "I'm going to visit Fusang tomorrow. It's an eye-opener."
You Heng's eyes lit up: "I want to go too!"
Xie Fengyue refused without thinking: "No, you are already weak, and sailing on the sea is not as easy as sailing on the river."
When You Heng heard this, his head that had been held high immediately dropped, and he said sadly: "Hey, my father and mother didn't want me to go out because I was weak since I was a child. At that time, when my husband got older, he went out to travel and work. The mountains and rivers are settled, and I can only listen to others describe the vastness of the sea in the mountains and rivers. Now I finally have the opportunity to see the true beauty of the sea, but I have to miss it because of my physical weakness."
Xie Fengyue paused while drinking the porridge. She hesitated again and again but still didn't stop.
Seeing that she was unmoved, You Heng's tone became even more aggrieved: "I don't want to be weak either. I also want to be like other husbands. Hey~"
