Chapter 13

She tidied herself up and put away the blueprint from yesterday.

Only then did Ye Qingge make her way to the front hall.

Before she reached the front hall, she heard a commotion.

A woman’s cries and curses resounded in the courtyard like a bell.

Uncle Li Da was here?

Ye Qingge’s eyes lit up and she immediately took a few steps forward.

As expected, when she got closer, she heard Uncle Li Da shouting loudly.

“Our Qingge is the smartest and cutest. Why would she scold someone? You’re clearly spouting nonsense.”

“If you can’t raise such a good girl, why don’t we bring her back to General Zhanbei’s residence to raise her?”

Smart and cute didn’t seem to have anything to do with scolding, right?

However, no one dared to provoke him. After all, even Madam had to give in to him.

“How can you do that? How can you raise the people in our residence?”

If Ye Qingge was really taken away, wouldn’t it be a slap to her face in front of everyone?

Was it indicating that she, the legitimate mother, was not tolerant?

Madam Bai suppressed her anger and did not want to fall out with Li Da.

This Li Da was a hooligan. He might say something unpleasant.

It would lose her face.

When Ye Qingge entered the hall, she saw Madam Bai’s face turn pale from anger as she leaned back in her chair.

Ling Long and Gui Hua were kneeling in the hall, crying.

As expected, evil people needed to be tortured by evil people. The Bai family only needed to meet people like Uncle Li Da.

“Qingge, you came at the right time. Ling Long said that you scolded someone for no reason. What’s going on?”

When Madam Bai saw Ye Qingge enter the hall, she immediately found a place to vent her anger.

If it weren’t for her, why would such a god of plague come knocking on their door in the morning?

And caused the residents to be in a tizzy?

His loud voice almost deafened her ears.

“What do you mean what’s going on? It must be your maidservant lying. If she was in the military camp, she would have been beaten forty times. We still have something on. Who has the time to confront a maidservant? Qingge, come with me quickly.”

Li Da ignored Madam Bai’s dark expression. After scolding the servant girl, he turned to Ye Qingge and smiled like a big orange cat.

Ye Qingge was naturally happy to go with the flow. She blinked her big innocent eyes at Madam Bai.

Madam Bai looked at Li Da and could only nod and let them go.

After leaving General Zhengxi’s Estate, Ye Qingge and Li Da got into the carriage.

“Uncle Li Da, what happened that made you come here personally?”

The enemy of an enemy was a friend. There were not many people who could make the Bai family suffer.

Because of this, she couldn’t let her friendship with Uncle Li Da fail.

“Sigh! Don’t mention it.”

Li Da sighed and slapped his thigh.

Uncle, let me ask you, doesn’t your leg hurt?

“After you repaired the crossbow, we quickly got someone to make it. From afternoon to night, the craftsmen didn’t sleep. We finally made two, but they can’t be installed!”

Only then did Ye Qingge realize that Li Da’s already messy beard seemed to have become more like a bird’s nest, and his eye sockets had also turned greener.

Ye Qingge didn’t say anything and just nodded.

“Qingge, do you know how to install this?”

Li Da looked at Ye Qingge with a pair of ox-like eyes filled with anticipation.

“Let me take a look first.”

Ye Qingge smiled faintly, admitting that she was unfathomable.

She couldn’t help but mock herself in her heart.

Sure enough, acting cool was as addictive as spending money. This was not good.

Look at how humble this girl was. She was clearly quite capable, but she never boasted.

She even knew how to comfort him with a smile. How considerate.

As a result, Li Da’s impression of Ye Qingge increased again.

…

When Ye Qingge and Li Qingge arrived at General Zhanbei’s Estate, Jia Jingzhong and his two trusted aides were as anxious as a cat on a hot tin roof.

He had been busy for a day and a night, but he had worked for nothing. Wasn’t that terrible?

Thus, one morning, Li Da proposed to look for Ye Qingge. Jia Jingzhong couldn’t care less and directly agreed.

“Aiyo, Miss Ye, you’re finally here!”

When Jia Jingzhong saw Ye Qingge, he immediately went up to her.

He was still wearing the same clothes as yesterday. It was obvious that he had not slept the entire night.

“Greetings to Master Jia.”

Ye Qingge gave Jia Jingzhong a steady bow, not showing any disrespect just because he asked her for help.

Jia Jingzhong felt sour in his heart again.

The heavens were unfair. How could such a good girl be born into the opposite family?

“I heard from Uncle Li Da in the carriage just now. Let me take a look first.”

Thus, under Jia Jingzhong’s lead, Ye Qingge and the others headed straight for the Jia Estate’s armory.

Wow!

The sabers, spears, swords, halberds, axes, hooks, and forks were all here. As expected, they should be neat and tidy.

On the long table in the armory, there were crossbows, bolts, and other accessories.

“It’s already not easy to make these parts in such a short period of time. It can be seen that General Zhanbei’s Estate is indeed filled with talents.”

Ye Qingge wasn’t lying.

Ancient technologies differed from modern ones in that there was no assembly line operation.

Not to mention anything else, just the small iron equipment in the crossbow was a huge project for the ancient smithing work.

Because there were no scales in ancient times, they could only be judged by the naked eye of the blacksmith. This could easily cause errors.

A pair of 38-shoes is paired with a pair of 37-footers.

Things like how big your shoes are and how big my feet are usually don’t exist.

“Not at all. Your father has many skilled craftsmen.”

Although Jia Jingzhong said that, he actually enjoyed it in his heart.

He could not help but sigh in his heart. Look at how good this girl’s taste was!

However, the next moment, when he thought about how this was the daughter of the opposite family, he instantly did not want to say anything.

Ye Qingge picked up the crossbow and looked at the small parts on the table. Then, she effortlessly loaded the two crossbows.

The other four widened their eyes and looked at each other before exchanging a collective emoticon.

They had forgotten to sleep and eat, but the girl was able to install in a few seconds?

“Qingge, how did you do it? You seem to have installed too easily.”

Li Da couldn’t help but ask what everyone was thinking.

“There’s a trick to this. Look, there are actually strict installation steps for it. It’s just like Kong Ming Lock. There are some techniques involved.”

“What’s a Kong Ming Lock?” Li Da didn’t understand.

“Oh, it’s a kind of lock.”

Ye Qingge smiled. He didn’t know who Kong Ming lock was. It seemed like this was an era of supervision?

Did I transmigrate into a book?

Ye Qingge thought as she dismantled the crossbow. Then, step by step, she explained and demonstrated it to Jia Jingzhong and the others.

She didn’t hide anything at all.

Everyone’s eyes lit up when they heard this. They wanted to do it themselves, so under Ye Qingge’s guidance, they did it one by one. Although the speed was relatively slow, it was a good thing that they all succeeded.

“Qingge, you’ve really helped us once again.”

As Li Da spoke, he slapped Ye Qingge on the shoulder. Due to his agitation, he used too much strength and directly slapped her to the ground.

The scene was a little awkward.

Jia Jingzhong glared at Li Da and quickly helped Ye Qingge up.

He wanted her to take two steps to see if she sustained injuries.

Ye Qingge waved her hand.

In her heart, she was thinking that the original owner’s broken body was a life insurance policy. It was too chaffy and had to be practiced.
