False Eunuch: With Many Children, I'm as Happy as a Fish in Water

"General Lin, are these the things sent by Princess Maode, the eldest daughter of Prince Duan?"

Mu Guiying looked at a dozen carriages being pulled into the camp, with red painted wooden boxes displayed on them.

Looking at the deep ruts left by these carriages on the ground, one can imagine that the cargo on these carriages must be extremely heavy.

Lin Chen also glanced at these carriages and nodded imperceptibly.

This was the deal between him and Zhao Min that day.

If Zhao Min does something for him, he won't tell anyone about his daughter's identity.

certainly.

For smart people like Zhao Min, it is better to shut up Lin Chen completely if they believe in other people's guarantees.

There is a saying that only the dead can keep secrets.

But Zhao Min couldn't do anything to Lin Chen, so he could only use this method to reach some kind of agreement with Lin Chen.

That is, I am useful to you and you are useful to me. We can use and cooperate with each other.

As for what he asked Zhao Min to send?

Lin Chen signaled the soldiers to unload all the red paint boxes from the carriage.

After hearing the news, the soldiers stepped forward and carried the boxes in twos and threes.

Mu Guiying noticed that the soldiers had a look of difficulty on their faces when they were carrying the box.

This made her more and more curious.

Of course, Lin Chen did not hide it from Mu Guiying and opened these boxes in front of her.

After all, Mu Guiying was a close confidant of the new emperor.

Naturally, he, Lin Chen, could not openly and secretly communicate with a prince with a different surname.

"This is…?"

Mu Guiying watched Lin Chen take out an iron ball weighing about ten kilograms from the red paint boxes.

In the hands of Lin Chen, an acquired master, this iron ball seemed to have no weight.

These iron balls.

It was Lin Chen who asked Zhao Min to customize the cannonball!

You must know that among the rewards Lin Chen received from Wang Xifeng, there was a sailing battleship from the Great Navigation Period.

These sailing battleships are equipped with hundreds of twenty-four-pound front-loaded artillery, and their firepower can be said to be extremely abundant.

only.

After Lin Chen looked at these sail battleships, he suddenly discovered that there were cannons and powder barrels on the ships, but not many cannonballs!

Because of this, he just asked Zhao Min to make solid bullets that imitate the twenty-four-pound front-loading artillery, which are these big iron balls.

If possible, Lin Chen also planned to remove these artillery pieces from the sail battleship and use them for ground operations.

After all, he already has a musket battalion in hand, wouldn't it be normal to have more divine machine gun battalions?

Mu Guiying looked at these solid iron balls with confusion, wondering why Lin Chen spent so much effort on them.

Lin Chen saw that Mu Guiying wanted to continue questioning, so he made an unspeakable gesture and a mysterious chuckle appeared on his lips.

at the moment.

Everything is ready, all we need is the east wind.

Jinling Xue family.

"What on earth is this scorpion doing?"

Several elders from the Xue family head family were whispering to each other and discussing a recent topic in Jinling.

Most of the people in Jinling knew about this matter, and the Xue family also learned the news.

That is Xue Biao, a side member of the Xue family, who suddenly began to sell off Jinling's properties, peddle shop goods, etc., and seemed to be preparing to leave Jinling to seek development elsewhere.

"Is it possible that Xue Biao thinks that the master family is plotting against his family property?" Several clan elders said angrily, with a somewhat unkind expression.

People outside didn't know what was wrong with Xue Biao, so they all discussed that Xue Biao acted like this because he was forced by the head of the Xue family.

"Mother, why did Uncle Xue's temperament change drastically after he went to the capital?"

In the inner hall of the Xue family, two people were sitting in the decorated boudoir of their daughter's house.

One of them has a fair and rich face, resembling that of Guanyin Master. Although she has given birth to children for almost ten years, she is still as handsome as a young woman.

The other person is terrible.

She wears a honey-coloured tunic coat that fits her body tightly, with a purple and red Sichuan brocade shawl draped over her shoulders. The flowing cloud satin skirt she wears doesn't look too gorgeous.

As for this woman's face, it looks more like a fairy in a painting.

Her shoulders moisturized her body, just like the tip of a lotus flower emerging. Her pair seemed neither sad nor joyous, but contained some kind of tenderness.

This woman is none other than Xue Baochai, the daughter of Aunt Xue.

"Bao girl, now that Xue Biao has left Jinling, there will be less gossip in my family."

Aunt Xue felt that Xue Biao was walking well.

She always felt that someone in the clan was planning to bully her orphans and widowed mother, and was planning to let Xue Biao become the master of the family.

Now Xue Biao doesn't dare to have this idea, simply because she is Wang Ziteng's sister.

Aunt Xue forgives Xue Biao for not daring to offend her elder brother.

You must know that your brother is now highly valued by the new emperor. He was promoted to the imperial envoy of the Nine-Border Patrol to thoroughly investigate border defense matters.

Now the other party must have seen that his plan failed and planned to leave Jinling to form his own lineage.

When Xue Baochai heard her mother's speculation, a look of sadness gathered between her eyebrows.

Seen by Xue Baochai.

Uncle Xue is an upright man and diligent in his work. He will be the right person to help his brother manage the Xue family from now on.

But my mother didn't know why she was so wary of Xue scorpion.

Should we let those clan elders with dirty hands and feet manage the Xue family's property for Xue Pan?

Xue Baochai was worried that her elder brother Xue Pan would be deceived by the clan elders, causing the Xue family's family business to decline.

Now that she is still in the boudoir, she can still help a little.

But when she gets married, who will take care of her useless eldest brother?

Although Xue Baochai was in a deep boudoir, he still heard what people from Jinling said about his eldest brother.

Tell him what a stupid overlord he is.

Is this a good name? !

"Mom, my daughter heard that Uncle Xue Clan not only sold off his property, but also recruited sailors aggressively?" Xue Baochai couldn't help but ask, thinking of the rumors she had heard from the maid.

Hearing this, Aunt Xue wondered why Xue Baochai asked about this matter, but she nodded.

"That Xue Biao is indeed recruiting sailors in Jinling to make a living on the seaside. He doesn't know what he is going to do."

Aunt Xue obviously doesn't care about these things.

"Does Uncle Xue want to go overseas to do business?" Xue Baochai could only speculate.

Along the Jiangnan coast, many people who could not survive chose to go out to sea to make a living.

Among these people, there are those who have made a fortune, and there are those who have no bones left.

Xue Baochai had heard someone say that there were several pirate families on the sea who liked to throw people into the sea alive and drown them.

They call this offering sacrifices to the Dragon King.

It is said that among this group of pirates, the Zheng family is the most powerful and is known as the Dragon King Zheng Hai!

Not even the Xue family dared to provoke such a strong man.

The two women, each with their own thoughts, fell silent for a while, not knowing what they were thinking.

Just at this time.

Hey, the boy hurriedly ran outside the inner hall and shouted:

"Mother, eldest lady, Master Xue Pan beat someone and was sent to the government again!"

The mother-in-law and her mother just came back to their senses after hearing the young man's yelling.

Xue Baochai, however, seemed to take it for granted.

Only Aunt Xue stood up quickly and quickly called the maids close to her to get some money to fish out her precious son.
