The Rise of Ming Dynasty 1646

Chapter 493 Oolong Marriage
"Greedy ghost, there is still a long time before dinner." Zi Lu said, she still took the earthen pot that Shi Lin didn't drink and looked carefully to make sure that he did not make a mistake, and then she was relieved.

"Who made the duck soup you boil so delicious..." Shi Lin raised his eyes and saw a bloodstain on the earthen pot in Zi Lu's hand, and hurriedly grabbed her hand to check, "Are you injured?"

"No ah."

Shi Lin pointed to the bright red color on the earthen jar, "Isn't this your blood?"

Zi Lu looked at it carefully, frowned and said: "It should belong to the young lady. She sews clothes every day recently, and her hands are clumsy...ah, they are not fine enough, and there are blood holes everywhere. The blood on the crock must be boiled by her." Got it on the soup."

"Sewing?" Shi Lin asked in surprise, "There are seamstresses in the army. Even if manpower is tight, you usually do the sewing. How could General Zhen do it himself?"

Zi Lu's face flushed slightly, "You elm head!" She seemed a little shy, and her voice lowered, "Where is the wedding dress sewn with fake hands?"

Shi Lin stared wide-eyed, "Wedding dress?! General Zhen is going to get married?" He immediately said joyfully, "Since General Zhen wants to get married, then you can... I'll go to your house to propose marriage!"

Zi Lu blushed with shame, turned her head away, and spat softly: "Bah, who said I want to marry you..."

The two chattered for a while, Shi Lin said again with a "gossip" expression: "Zi Lu, who is General Zhen going to marry?"

"Ask knowingly." Zi Lu gave him a white look, "Who else can there be besides His Royal Highness the Assistant King?"

Shi Lin was stunned for a moment, "You said, His Royal Highness... wants to marry... General Zhen?"

"That's right." Zi Lu said without hesitation, "Miss has been staying up late every day to sew the wedding dress, and she's more than half done."

"No, that...are you making a mistake?"

"How can such a thing go wrong?!"

"But, but..." Shi Lin said cautiously, "Your Highness... has already engaged to Miss Mu. At this moment, the hired team may have returned to Tianxing Mansion."

"What?!" Zi Lu turned pale with shock, "Are you engaged? He Mu girl? Which Mu girl?"

"It's the daughter of Zhongnanbo Mu Jing, the second miss of the Mu family, you have met."

"I've seen it, but how could it be her, it should be my lady?!"

Shi Lin hurriedly motioned her to stabilize, and asked: "I have been with His Highness for so long, and I have never heard that he is going to marry General Zhen. Who did you hear that from?"

"Yes, it is what Princess Chen said."

Shi Lin asked about the reasons before and after, but his face was full of anxiety, "It's over, General Zhen is going to make a mistake!"

He then talked about the engagement between the assistant king and Mu Zhiqing, and "interpreted" the "good news" sent by Zhao Liangfan that day for Zilu one by one.

Zi Lu was even more stunned when she heard that, "So, so that's what happened. Miss, I'm ashamed!" She jumped up and said anxiously, "No, I have to go back and tell Miss, please don't Regenerate branches!"

She just ran two steps, turned back, and said seriously to Shi Lin: "This matter is related to Miss's reputation. Fortunately, others don't know about it yet, so you must not tell others!"

"Don't worry, my mouth is tight. But you, when you talk to your lady, you should pay attention to your wording, and don't make her too irritated."

"I can save it." Zi Lu turned her head and left, ran two steps and returned again, "No, you have to swear to keep it secret!"

"Okay, okay!" Shi Lin raised his hand to his ear, "I swear, I will never tell anyone what I just said."

Shi Lin watched her go away, then looked down at the duck soup in his hand, and said to himself: "Oh, this soup, or don't give it away..."

"Nonsense!" Zhu Lin was so angry that she slapped the table hard. Since he led the army to fight, no one has seen him lose his temper so much to his own people.

"It's just nonsense! What's there to chase after Luck Dehun?" Zhu Linmi glanced at the note in her hand, it was left by Zhen Zhen, and said that she was worried that there was something wrong with Luck Dehun, so she took the lead in breaking the prisoner herself. A battalion of two thousand cavalry went in pursuit.

"How long has she been gone?"

"Return to your lord," the patrolling officer of the Polu camp tonight said tremblingly, "I left the camp just after you hour, the general thought it was you who mobilized the army, until someone found this piece of paper..."

Zhu Linmi looked outside the tent, seeing that it was late at night, her brows frowned even tighter, "She is violating military discipline without authorization!" Then she said to Shi Lin, "Go and call Zhao Shichao... No, no, let him directly Take people to chase after!"

"Yes..." Shi Lin saluted, but did not go out of the tent, hesitated for a moment, but said, "My lord, either, let General Zhen go after him..."

Others didn't know the reason, but he knew better than anyone else that General Zhen must have learned that he had made a mistake in the marriage, so he was so ashamed and angry, he just found an excuse to stay away from this embarrassing and sad place for her.

"Why are you so messed up?!" Zhu Linmi waved her hands vigorously, "What if Wu Sangui sneaks across the river, but the general of the Polu camp is not in the army? Stop talking nonsense, go!"

Since Shi Lin had sworn not to tell the story, he could only say yes with a bitter face.

As soon as his front feet were out of the tent, there was a loud noise from the south.Because of Hong Chengchou's "begging for peace", the Ming army stopped bombarding Nanjing, and the sound was very clear in the silent night.

Zhu Linming followed the reputation and immediately remembered, "This is the place where nitrocellulose is trial-produced!" This morning, the experimental equipment was basically prepared, and he told Yao Qisheng and others the general process of making nitrocellulose-in general, he It is still the "production method" seen in the novel "From the Earth to the Moon", which is naturally very rough.

Could it be that Yao Qisheng started "production" privately? !Zhu Linmi hurriedly ordered her soldiers to prepare their horses, and galloped all the way to the southeast of Nanjing City, and stopped beside an open space surrounded by a fence of one mile square.

He couldn't see the situation clearly in the night, and he was worried that there were still explosives, so he ordered his soldiers to surround the fence and call for the people inside.At this moment, a group of Dragon Guard soldiers surrounded them with guns and shouted: "Who is it?! Kneel down and don't move!"

Zhu Linmi's personal soldiers hurriedly shouted the password, and the guards guarding the "laboratory" rushed forward to salute, and then Yao Qisheng and others rushed over.

Seeing that Yao Qisheng and the others were still intact, Zhu Linmi heaved a long sigh of relief and asked, "What happened to the loud noise just now?"

Yao Qisheng said nervously: "Returning to Your Highness, sparks from the student's sulfuric acid furnace flew to the warehouse where the cotton was stored, and suddenly exploded..."

Zhu Linmi asked about the specific situation of the cotton warehouse, and analyzed: "It should be a cotton dust explosion. Has anyone been injured?"

"Returning to Your Highness, only some utensils were damaged, but luckily no one was injured or injured."

Manufacturing explosives in the seventeenth century was indeed dangerous, Zhu Linmi sighed, "Fortunately, nothing happened, it seems that we must first formulate safe experiment rules."

He then asked Yao Qisheng and others: "Do you know that cotton and other things are raised in the air and explode when they meet fire?"

"I don't know..."

"Forget it, since I'm here, I'll take you to experiment with me these days. Otherwise, before the explosives are made, you will die first."
