Volume 2, Chapter 207: Parting Gift
This small bow was used by Ling Yue to practice archery back then. Even though it is small, its lethality is not small at all. No matter the material, shape, appearance or weight, it is different from ordinary bows and arrows.
Rongchuan knew Wulang's strength, and looking at the shape and color of the bow, he knew that this bow was no ordinary bow.
Dongming Ziyu and Shangguan Ruoli don't know how to smelt, but they have been in high positions for a long time, so they still have to ask a few questions about weapons related to the combat effectiveness of the army.
At that moment, Dongming Ziyu explained the advantages of this bow, which was that he did not know the detailed formula of the refined iron, he only knew what raw materials were added to it compared to ordinary cast iron.
Rong Chuan was a little embarrassed and said with a red face: "Uncle, can I let someone try to refine this kind of refined iron?"
Dongming Ziyu said: "Of course, the raw materials are just these, the specific proportions have to be tested by the blacksmith himself."
Rong Chuan said: "This is great!"
After hesitating for a moment, he said: "My father and I remember the merits of my uncle and aunt. It's just that he is just the prince now, and he can't decide on some things. The most important thing is that you are knowledgeable and can obtain fame. If you have fame,
Compared with being promoted from a white body, it is more justified and the official career is more stable and smooth."
This is a guarantee.
Dongming Ziyu naturally understood and said: "It's nothing, as long as I can help you."
Rong Chuan said: "I will definitely live up to my uncle and aunt's help."
As he said that, he glanced in Ling Yue's direction, and his ears turned a little red.
Shangguan Ruoli's heart trembles, what's going on? This guy isn't thinking about Ling Yue anymore, is he?
Look at Ling Yue again, she is still concentrating on painting. Also, Ling Yue is only ten years old and has not yet developed her skills.
Neither Dongming Ziyu nor Shangguan Ruoli wanted Ling Yue to marry into the royal family. They were not emperors, queens, or supreme emperors, or empress dowagers. They were subordinated to ministers and came from poor families. They could not intimidate the royal family or protect Ling Yue.
Therefore, in the next few days, the two of them deliberately separated Rong Chuan and Ling Yue and prevented them from playing together.
But Dongming Ziyu has to go to the government school to attend classes, and Shangguan Ruoli has to take care of the housework, but he can't help Rong Chuan.
Rong Chuan went back to his hometown to do errands during the day, and came to the small courtyard at night. They ate together in the small courtyard, dawdling away, and slept in the small courtyard when it was too late. Anyway, he was the one who went back.
That day, while Shangguan Ruoli was cooking, he watched Wu Lang and Ling Yue do their homework.
The scent wafted in from outside. Rong Chuan twitched his nose and said, "Auntie, what are you doing? It smells so good."
Sure enough, Wulang said: "I'll go take a look."
As he said that, he jumped off the chair and ran out with a kick and a stare.
A successful smile flashed in Rong Chuan's eyes, he took out a small box from his arms and handed it to Ling Yue, "Take a look, do you like it?"
Ling Yue glanced at him unexpectedly, put down the pen in her hand, opened the box, and her eyes lit up when she saw what was inside, "What a beautiful little dumpling."
They are two little white ferrets, the size of walnuts. One is holding a walnut and chewing it, which is very cute. The other is curled up and sleeping, with one eye open, very naughty.
Rong Chuan smiled and said: "This is carved from mutton fat jade. You and Wu Lang will each have one. I'll let you choose first."
He would not be stupid enough to give Ling Yue a gift alone, he would definitely be beaten out.
Ling Yue picked up the naughty one and said, "I like this one, it's very naughty and smart."
"Okay, brother Rongchuan, you are partial! I ran to show you the dishes my mother cooked, but you secretly gave your sister good things!" Wu Lang came in angrily, feeling very aggrieved.
Rong Chuan smiled and said: "I'm thinking of you! You are so cute, why can't I be your equal?"
Wulang pouted and said, "Then why did you take it out while I was away?"
Rong Chuan: "..."
It’s hard to fool little kids!
Ling Yue said: "Come and see, does it look like glutinous rice balls? If you don't like them, I'll have them all!"
Wulang hurriedly ran over, climbed up on the chair, and looked into the small box. He saw a snow-white and shiny little white ferret holding a small walnut in his two little paws and gnawing hard but couldn't. It was very strange.
Cute, cute, and lifelike!
Wulang took it out and said with a smile: "I like it. It's cuter than glutinous rice balls. I can see the angry expression on it!"
"Zhizhi!" Tangyuan'er ran over from nowhere, stood on Wulang's shoulder, and looked at the jade carving curiously.
Is it cuter than that? It’s so small, can’t move, and is so ugly!
Wulang laughed and raised the jade sculpture in front of Tangyuan'er, "Look, does it look like you? This can be used as a paperweight or a jade pendant, and you don't need to feed it meat."
Tangyuan'er didn't like to hear it, so he argued "squeaking", and his anxious look made Wulang laugh.
Suddenly, he remembered Ling Yue's one, "Sister, yours must be different from mine, right? I heard brother Rongchuan say that you should choose first."
Rong Chuan blushed. Does this kid have extraordinary hearing?
Ling Yue didn't let her brother go, and felt a little ashamed, so she took out the jade carving in her hand and said, "Look, I'm pretending to be sleeping. It's very playful. If you like it, let's switch."
In fact, both jade carvings are very good. She likes both, but she likes this one more.
Unexpectedly, Wulang took a look at her jade carving and said, "I like eating walnuts."
Rong Chuan smiled when he heard this, "As long as you like it, I'll ask the craftsmen in the house to make other styles later."
Wulang took the little white mink off his shoulder, put it on Rongchuan's shoulder, and said, "Take the glutinous rice ball away and let the master craftsman carve it."
Tangyuan'er was so frightened that she let out a wailing cry, scraped against the ground, and escaped from the window. It was as fast as a white lightning.
All three of them laughed.
Shangguan Ruoli shaved his fish scales and when he heard the laughter of the three people, the corners of his lips raised involuntarily. It was good to be a child. Happiness is always so simple.
When Dongming Ziyu came back, he couldn't help but smile when he heard the children's cheerful laughter. But he frowned when he noticed Rong Chuan's slightly changed voice.
Rong Chuan saw Dongming Ziyu coming back from the window and greeted him, "Uncle, school is over."
Dongming Ziyu nodded, "Have you settled the matters in your house?"
If you haven’t dealt with it yet, go back quickly!
Rong Chuan smiled and said: "Everything has been taken care of and I will return to Beijing tomorrow."
When Ling Yue and Wu Lang heard this, their faces darkened and they said in unison: "So fast?"
Wulang pulled his sleeve and said, "Brother Rongchuan, can you stay? Don't go back to Beijing, okay?"
Rong Chuan touched Wu Lang's bun and said, "I can't do it without going back. I'm still attending classes at Taixue, so I can't delay for too long."
Seeing that Ling Yue and Rong Chuan were both disappointed and reluctant, he comforted them: "I will come back to worship before the end of the year, and then I will come back with Brother Dalang and the others."
Ling Yue and Wu Lang then smiled, exchanged glances with each other, and gave the gift they had prepared long ago to Brother Rong Chuan.
The two of them ran back to their rooms, Wulang took out a small box, and Ling Yue took out a small cloth bag.
