Dressed as a super rare female, being chased and pampered by the big guys

Five thousand light cavalry traveled day and night and reached Yunnan in just over ten days. Everyone was covered in dust and could not hide their fatigue. They only breathed a sigh of relief after witnessing the delivery with their own eyes and ensuring that the food and fodder were safely escorted to the army.

After a night's rest, the next day, Zong Shouyuan personally met with Yuwen Ke, a fifth-rank young general who led the troops.

Yuwen Ke was so excited to receive this honor that his face turned red. He looked at Zong Shouyuan with eyes full of admiration and respect, and his words were almost incoherent.

In terms of age, he was actually eight or nine years older than General Zong, but he admired the young general from the bottom of his heart. Two years ago, he had questioned whether His Majesty was nepotism by letting this young boy lead a large army to fight, but after witnessing the numerous victories and being impressed by his godlike ideas, General Zong became the incarnation of the star of war in his eyes.

Yuwen Ke was a stubborn military officer with no twists and turns in his mind. Once he was impressed by a capable person, he would admire the person from the bottom of his heart, no matter what age or status the person was.

Last year, Zong Shouyuan injured his leg, and he was depressed for a long time. Unexpectedly, God favored him, and now General Zong has returned to the battlefield, and he has also caught the eye of His Majesty, and has been reused, and even has the opportunity to fight the enemy together with his idol.

After drinking a glass of wine, Yuwen Ke became more and more excited the more he thought about it. He knelt down and said loudly, "Your Majesty has ordered that there is something in the baggage. I must deliver it to the general intact, and the general will dispose of it."

Ten telescopes filled a box, which he carried with him throughout the journey, never leaving them for a moment, for fear that anything might go wrong.

With just one glance, Zong Shouyuan knew that the box was made by his own craftsman.

He took it and weighed it. He couldn't guess what was inside, but he was not in a hurry to open it. He helped Yuwen Ke up and said, "Thank you for your hard work."

"No, it's not hard," Yuwen Ke stammered, scratching his head and struggling for a while, and finally added, "Your Majesty said that this, this was designed by your wife."

"..."

There was no sign of unusual expression on General Zong's stern face, but if Yuwen Ke had been a little more observant, he would have seen that his ears were a little red and he was holding the box a lot tighter.

Returning to the room, he closed the door and sent everyone away. He pressed the button on the mechanism several times at an extremely fast speed. There was a crisp "click" and the box popped open a crack.

The contents inside revealed their true appearance, which was very different from what he had imagined.

It was not a delicate and exquisite girl's toy, but a few unremarkable iron cylinders that made a cold clanging sound when they collided with each other. No matter how much Ren Zong Shouyuan imagined, he could not see what his wife could place her feelings on it.

He pursed his thin lips and turned the small box upside down, but he didn't even find a note written to him by Nian Tu, and finally felt discouraged.

There were no strangers around, and the man's handsome young face revealed undisguised depression.

He stood there for a while before he picked up one of the iron tubes and studied it for a long time, looking from far and near, and finally, by accident, he aimed his eyes at one end.

!!!

In an instant, Zong Shouyuan's face changed drastically.

His mood rose and fell sharply several times in a short period of time. General Zong took a lot of effort to calm down and his expression was barely calm.

He picked up each iron cylinder in the box and looked at them one by one. His heart was beating faster and faster in his chest.

This is simply... when you feel sleepy, someone gives you a pillow!

He dreamed of improving the scouts' eyesight so that they could help him explore the environment in the mountains. Surprisingly, someone actually sent him these magical things that could be called clairvoyance.

Staring at the iron cylinders in the box and counting them again and again, Zong Shouyuan's attention was suddenly attracted by one of the iron cylinders that was slightly different from the others.

He held his breath and stretched out his hand to grab it impatiently, then carefully and gently picked it up, rubbing his fingertips slowly, touching the inconspicuous wolf-shaped pattern carved on it, and the two delicate and familiar small characters "Gray Wolf". The light in his eyes suddenly rekindled, and an almost tipsy look emerged.

Every year...

The craftsmen employed by the Zong family were highly skilled, but they had never made anything as wonderful as this.

It was Nian Nian who designed these "clairvoyances" to solve his urgent needs.

……

When the good news from Yunnan reached the capital, Nian Tu was watching people making glass in the workshop, looking dusty and dusty.

Although she looked disheveled and even had a hole accidentally burned on the corner of her clothes, her eyes were sparkling as she stared at the exquisite glass cups in front of her, as if she saw countless white silver waving at her.

The ancient craftsmen were so skillful that they could achieve such a level of accomplishment with just human power.

Nian Tu held the glass cup, which could be called a work of art, in his hands, marveling at it and praising it endlessly.

The craftsmen were embarrassed by her praise. They scratched their heads with red faces, but couldn't help but straighten their chests and report their work to her. "Glass can now be fired stably, but the output is not high. The young master has built two more furnaces. After they are built, we can fire more every day..."

"Well, no rush," Nian Tu listened patiently and nodded.

There is no need to expand production too much. Scarcity makes things valuable. Things that are too abundant are worthless. We must strike a good balance.

"You know better than me what kind of things those aristocratic families like, so just make it according to what they like," Nian Tu said with a smile in his eyes.

If you want to cheat the rich, of course you have to cater to their preferences.

Over these days, the craftsmen of the clan have admired this young, beautiful and capable lady to the utmost. They almost want to worship her as a fairy. When they hear her instructions, they all agree and are eager to try, saying that they will not disappoint the lady's expectations.

The old master had more things to think about than the young man. He stroked his long beard and pondered, "The glass has been made. How to open up the market in the future, have you thought about it, Madam?"

No matter how exquisite something is, if you want to sell it at a high price, it still needs marketing.

The Zong family owns a lot of shops, but they don't sell anything luxurious or expensive. Glass placed on the shelves of those shops is probably like a pearl covered in dust, and it won't attract target customers.

Nian Tu smiled and said, "Don't worry about that."

Seeing that she had a plan in mind, the old abbot felt relieved.

The next day, there was a court meeting.

The long-standing stalemate in Yunnan finally had a breakthrough. With a telescope in hand, Zong Shouyuan led his troops into the mountains and destroyed six or seven barbarian villages of varying sizes.

When this matter was discussed, everyone in the court was delighted.

The emperor sat on the dragon throne, his eyes and brows showing a rare gentleness.

"General Fuyuan has made great contributions, and Nian Tu's presentation of the telescope is also indispensable," he said in a gentle voice.

Upon hearing this, there was a moment of silence in the court, and soon there was a unanimous response.

The ministers lowered their heads, but their eyes kept moving around, and they occasionally made eye contact with others.

Zong Shouyuan had made great contributions, but he already had a title to inherit. With the title of general and the military power in his hands, he was already the most honored and favored, and there was no higher title he could get.

If Nian Tu was just his wife, then Your Majesty could just confer the title of a noble lady on her, which would kill two birds with one stone and reward the merits of both the couple at the same time.

But Nian Tu happened to be the woman favored by His Majesty...

The ministers had no idea what Tan Konglin was thinking and were all guessing in their hearts what decision His Majesty would make.

"The war in Yunnan has not yet ended. When General Fuyuan returns triumphantly, I will reward him according to his merits," Tan Konglin said after a while.

"As for Nian Tu..."
