Farming and reading family

Thinking about it, this year is almost over and a lot of things have happened. Fortunately, it has been relatively smooth. I hope the industry can operate normally and accumulate wealth slowly.

Wei Kai came in the afternoon, bringing with him several pieces of chain mail breastplate.

The main reason is that it is too difficult to make, and wearing a full set of armor is too heavy, so just make a chest armor to save your life.

"Hey." Gao E counted and frowned. "Why are there three missing?"

"I came to the boss just for this matter." Wei Kai was now very casual. "There is no black gold charcoal."

Gao E forgot about this.

Before, the black gold charcoal was burned just to make a four-edged sword for Lu Qingluo, but Xu Boyan got a whole cart of it and gave it all to Wei Kai.

Now that a lot of things have been made, the black gold charcoal should indeed be used up.

There was nothing Gao E could do about it, Centipede Ridge was still in Yishunbo...

Thinking of this, Gao E suddenly remembered that Xu Boyan promised the princess to destroy Yishunbo, so why was there no movement at all?

"Then let's wait a little longer." Gao E didn't know when she could get the ebony.

Wei Kai nodded and said, "If I don't make the magic iron, I want to take my father to live in He County for a while. It's inconvenient to live in Ghost Crying Mountain in winter."

"Okay, can I live with the Jin family?" Gao E asked directly.

Wei Kai met Master Jin and nodded hurriedly: "Okay."

"Then you can live with your father and Uncle Jin." Gao E thought that if he didn't make anything, Wei Kai would have nothing to do in Ghost Mountain.

After agreeing on this matter, Wei Kai was in a hurry to leave. It was cold today, and it would be even colder when it got dark.

Gao E wanted to go back and discuss with Xiao Chuyun to see if they could also plant some ebony trees in case they could be used in the future.

After dinner, Gao E asked Tian to light the brazier, and Lu Qingluo and Lianxin accompanied her to roast persimmons by the brazier.

"Lianxin, you are married now. You can't go home so late every day. Luo Dagang will think that I am treating you harshly." Gao E advised.

"He won't." Lianxin said seriously.

Gao E knew that Luo Dagang wouldn't do that, so she couldn't let Lianxin stay here every day.

Just as I was thinking about how to persuade Lianxin to go back, I heard a knock on the door: "It must be Luo Dagang coming to ask you to go back."

"Madam, Lord Xu is here." He brought Xu Boyan to the door of the main hall.

Lianxin looked at Sister Gao.

"Okay, it's not Luo Dagang." Gao E said and stood up. "I wonder what important matter Master Xu has come to visit so late at night."

Xu Boyan looked at Lu Qingluo and Lianxin who were sitting motionless on one side.

Forget it, these two women are difficult to talk to.

He entered the room and pulled a low stool to sit opposite Gao E. "I sent someone to Qinzhou City to inquire about the portrait you gave me."

"Have you been asking about it for so long?" Gao E almost forgot about it.

"I've already found out about it before. It's a bit special, so I didn't come to tell you." Xu Boyan watched Lu Qingluo and Lianxin move the roasted persimmons in front of him, as if he would eat them.

"What's so special about it?" Gao E wanted to laugh when she thought about Lu Qingluo and Lianxin's actions.

"Those people are from Zhiweilou." Xu Boyan said directly.

Gao E thought about the relationship here and said, "Master Xu should have guessed that it was from Zhiweilou, right?"

Xu Boyan did guess it: "Now it's confirmed."

Gao E thought that Xu Boyan must have reported to Prince Qing and the Princess first, and then came to tell her after they had agreed.

"Actually, it has nothing to do with me." Gao E spread her hands.

"The people who are watching Zhiweilou said that there are new people coming to Zhiweilou recently, and some people came to Hexian in the past two days. I didn't find any trace of them in Hexian." This is what Xu Boyan was worried about.

Lu Qingluo and Lianxin acted as if it had nothing to do with them, but when they heard Xu Boyan say this, they looked up at him at the same time.

Xu Boyan touched his nose unconsciously when he was stared at by the two of them.

"I shouldn't have offended Zhiweilou directly, right?" Gao E also wondered what to do if it was related to her.

Xu Boyan just wanted to talk to Gao E, what if there was a connection?

Logically speaking, the matter should have been over, and the prince would not cause any more trouble for a little girl like Gao E, but Zhiweilou's actions were a little unusual.

"Be more cautious." Xu Boyan reminded.

"Okay." Gao E agreed.

Xu Boyan originally wanted to chat with Gao E for a while longer, but seeing the expressions of Lu Qingluo and Lianxin, he told them this and left.

Hearing the sound of the door closing, Lu Qingluo threw the persimmon tongs on the low table beside him.

"What's wrong?" Gao E came in and saw Lu Qingluo with a dissatisfied look on his face.

Lu Qingluo followed Gao E's lead and said, "Why do I feel like your problem is so troublesome?"

"That's their business." Gao E directly removed herself from the situation. "I'm always in trouble."

"Can't you take the initiative to deal with them?" Lu Qingluo felt that Gao E was just lazy.

"I took the initiative to deal with it..." Gao E thought that she was already very proactive, otherwise why would she work so hard to build the academy? It's just that it hasn't grown up yet.

"Forget it, I won't leave today." Lianxin said directly.

Gao E felt that Lianxin was a little lonely now, and was no different from before.

However, since Xu Boyan came to tell her about this in person, she still had to be careful. The next day, she went to see Master Chu and asked him to pay attention to whether there were any unfamiliar faces in the village recently.

Ever since the princess gave the money as a reward, the villagers have been training more actively than ever before. They even organized a guard team, which was led by Chu Rong. Now, as long as they are equipped with armor, they will be no different from regular soldiers.

Chu Rong's eyes lit up when he heard Gao E say this.

Gao E looked at Chu Rong's reaction and felt that he just liked fighting, and it was a pity that he had to stay with her all the time.

"Master Chu, I have a connection here and I would like to recommend you to join the army." Gao E suggested.

Chu Rong waved his hand and said, "The troubles in the military camp are nothing compared to the comfort here. Look at our village. In a few years, all the people there will be soldiers." He looked proud.

Gao E saw that Master Chu really wanted to stay here: "Okay. This is for Master Chu." She took out the breastplate, and when they were piled together, they only filled the palm of her hand.

"This is..." Master Chu picked it up and looked at it. "Chainmail breastplate?"

"Master Chu, please don't despise me. This is too difficult to do." Gao E was embarrassed.

"Hehe, this is a treasure that others can't even ask for." As soon as he weighed it, he knew it was made of magic iron.

He has fought on the battlefield and has never been conceited. Don't underestimate it, it can save his life in a critical moment.

"As long as Master Chu likes it, I'll trouble you with this matter."

"Don't be polite, just leave it to me." Master Chu patted his chest and promised.

After discussing this with Master Chu, she turned around and went to find Xiao Chuyun.

"It's winter now, are there still things to plant?" Gao E looked at Xiao Chuyun in his nursery.

"There's no need to plant anything, but what needs to be buried should be buried." Xiao Chuyun brushed off the dirt on his hands. "What's the matter, Boss?"

"I want to ask if there is any place here to grow ebony." Gao E said directly.

"That thing is not easy to grow." Xiao Chuyun frowned. "The key is that the difference between the plant and the wild one is too big."
