Hua Qingxue received the reply and was very happy.

I have to admit that in ancient times when time slowed down, communication between people could only be done through ancient envelopes. The excitement when receiving the letters was actually indescribable.

It's like the flowers that have been planted in front of the window, and one day they finally bloom.

Gently tearing open the wax seal and pulling out the inner pages, I couldn't help but feel that every step of opening the letter was so meaningful.

The moment she unfolded the inner page, Hua Qingxue subconsciously took a step back. Whether intentionally or unintentionally, her body blocked Fu Tingye's sight just right.

Such a small move made the general beside him very angry who had just calmed down.

He gritted his teeth hard, but couldn't say a single word of complaint.

Fortunately, the letter was not very long. Hua Qingxue read it quickly. When she turned around, she found that someone had been petrified in some way.

"General?" He blinked at Fu Tingye with innocent and pure eyes.

"I've finished reading! Then I'm leaving!" Fu Tingye almost spat out a few words through his teeth, and then walked away angrily.

Hua Qingxue was confused: "What's wrong with him? I was just trying to tell him that Li Jingnan said a lot of good things about him in the letter."

Su Shaowen saw that the two of them were in a different state, and when he heard Hua Qingxue's muttering, he pretended not to hear it, looking at his nose and his mind. Be a very transparent person.

Hua Qingxue put the letter back into the envelope, turned around and saw that Su Shaowen was also strange and in an abnormal mood... However, she immediately remembered what happened just now.

I couldn't help but stepped forward and asked seriously: "You are actually a woman..."

Su Shaowen didn't wait for her to finish, and quickly reached out to cover Hua Qingxue's mouth: "Master, master, I beg you, don't tell anyone."

Hua Qingxue knew her secret, and Su Shaowen had already guessed it. If the general hadn't interrupted just now, the two of them would not have been able to explain each other's secrets tacitly.

"But, it's not something wrong. Why do you want to hide your gender?" Hua Qingxue was a little confused. Although the ancients favored boys over girls, in Qi State, what she saw was that the people were very civilized.

For example, Fu Tingye and Li Jingnan would never treat her lightly just because she is a woman.

Su Shaowen lowered his head for a moment: "To be honest with you, Master, I had no choice but to hide my gender in order to learn how to make glass with Master Liu."

Yes, Hua Qingxue suddenly understood. She had also met Su Shaowen's master back then. He was a very old-fashioned and conservative man with a very aloof temper. Su Shaowen had suffered a lot when he learned to make glass under him.

Even his personality has become taciturn and extremely lacking in self-confidence.

It’s really not easy to think about this child.

Hua Qingxue sighed softly and reached out to stroke her hair: "It's all over. Now you are no longer the same person you were before."

Su Shaowen received Hua Qingxue's encouragement, pursed his lips and nodded, with a well-behaved look and lively eyes.

Hua Qingxue looked at her appearance and instantly remembered that she used to think that Su Shaowen was a bit girly, but it turned out that he was really a girl.

However, from a girl's point of view, Su Shaowen is also very good-looking.

Liang Wensheng saw Huan'er at the door from a distance and assumed that his master Hua Qingxue was with his junior brother. What he never expected was that the moment he was at the door, he actually found his master reaching out to touch his junior brother's hair!

This picture is a bit eye-catching.

Liang Wensheng turned around quickly, feeling a little distracted. My heart suddenly felt like I had turned over a five-flavor bottle, and I couldn't tell the difference between sweet, sour, bitter, and spicy.

Junior brother... is too arrogant. How could he tempt the master to do such a thing? If anyone sees him, he will become a laughing stock!

No, no, I must find an opportunity to tell my junior brother.

"Mr. Liang, why are you standing at the door and not going in?" Not far away, Huan'er, who had been standing guard at the door, noticed that Liang Wensheng's expression was wrong and asked accidentally.

The sound attracted Hua Qianqiang and Su Shaowen to look over.

"Brother! Why are you standing at the door? Come in quickly." When Su Shaowen saw Liang Wensheng, he felt happy unconsciously.

Hua Qianxin could see that something was wrong with Liang Wensheng's state, but after thinking about it carefully, he couldn't think of anything wrong.

Liang Wensheng had turned back and walked stiffly inside: "I've seen the master."

Hua Qingxue nodded: "Are you finished over there?"

Liang Wensheng seemed to have a slight problem with his neck, so he nodded stiffly: "That's almost it. If there is anything else you want to do during this time, master, just ask."

Hua Qingxue nodded, thought for a moment, scooped up a bowl of water on the test bench nearby, and then chose a relatively clean and wide tabletop: "I'll draw something, you have a look."

When Liang Wensheng saw that neither his master nor his junior brother was acting strange, he suddenly felt that he seemed to be a little too preoccupied. He cheered up and hurriedly followed Hua Qingxue.

Hua Qingxue poured water with her hands and drew a simple model on the table: "This is a simple gun mount. I plan to make this now. Here is the base of the gun mount, which needs to be made of green wood. The dimensions I will report it to you later, do you remember this shape?"

Liang Wensheng nodded, knowing that the reason why Hua Qingxue taught him in this way must be to guard against the spies who were hiding in the dark at that time.

Seeing him nodding, Hua Qingxue said hello, and then looked at Su Shaowen: "Are you familiar with the purification and distillation process in the past two days?"

Su Shaowen was stunned. In the past two days, my main energy has been on the manuscript paper that the master gave me. That set of equipment has not been used yet.

I thought Hua Qingxue would blame her, but Hua Qingxue just nodded calmly: "Come here, I will teach you how to use it."

"This set of equipment can be purified and used repeatedly. The higher the number of repetitions, the higher the purity of the final purified items." Hua Qingxue introduced while pointing to an outlet in the middle of the device: "This is the impurity outlet, and the temperature is controlled at At a moderate temperature, it is the time for impurities to evaporate, liquefy and be discharged in the glass pipe, and as the temperature continues to rise, the pure potassium nitrate we need can be produced."

Su Shaowen nodded and carefully followed every step Hua Qingxue said.

This time, Hua Qingxue taught the two apprentices without leaving any trace, leaving behind a secret. After telling them what to do next, Hua Qingxue thought of the spy and reminded them again: "Be sure to keep the fake manuscript paper. If that person doesn't succeed, there will definitely be a next time. You two should pay attention to safety. In addition, if there is anything inappropriate around you, please tell me or the general immediately."

Liang Wensheng had actually guessed that Hua Qingxue had given Su Shaowen a fake manuscript paper before, but now that he heard Hua Qingxue say it himself, it confirmed his thoughts, so he was not surprised.

Both of them nodded: "Master, don't worry."

Hua Qingxue smiled faintly and breathed a sigh of relief: "Then you two slowly think about what I just ordered, then I will go back."

"Go away, master." The two of them respectfully walked Hua Qingxue to the door. Hua Qingxue waved to them, then turned around and took Huan'er back to her room.

It's not that she is taking a break. Now that the School of Science is recruiting students, there are many things to prepare for, and it is not enough to have just a few teachers like Liang Wensheng, Su Shaowen, and others. She also has to recruit life management teachers, school cafeteria waiters, and a lot of other things.

More importantly, she wanted to reply to Li Jingnan early and tell that boy about the opening of the School of Science. He would definitely be happy.

Once things get busy, time flies by.

In the next few days, Hua Qingxue only felt that time was gone in the blink of an eye. The newly recruited life instructors and canteen logistics managers were in place one after another. Liang Wensheng was asked to make arrangements for these people first and wait later. After Luo Muyu was out of confinement, Luo Muyu took over.

Liang Wensheng has a gentle temper, but he is calm in his work and usually does not cause big troubles. Hua Qingxue feels relieved that the management position is given to him.

She had never cared about the household before, but she had never known that the expenses of a big family were so huge. Hua Qingxue paid for these expenses herself, and the funding project reported to the court had not yet yielded results.

I guess Li Jingnan encountered another obstacle. Hua Qingxue should have thought of the many difficulties in the initial preparations, but what was rare was that Zhao Sheng helped her make a lot of money running the bubble soap, so Hua Qingxue started to I allocated money from my private treasury to support me, so I wasn't particularly trapped.

Just as the start of the School of Science was approaching, Hua Qingxue realized something.

The spy who had been silent for a long time seemed to have taken no action, which was beyond her expectation.

Could it be that something was exposed last time, or that the spy changed his direction of action? Is it possible that I should add a little more exciting stuff to stimulate the excitement

Hua Qingxue thought for a while and finally decided to wait for Fu Tingye to come back from court and discuss it with him.

However, Fu Tingye came to court relatively late today, because the court reported a major incident, which severely slapped Zheng's relatives in the face.

Zheng Sheng failed to suppress the bandits but was captured by the bandits.

What's even more stupid is that in the bandit's den, he also revealed that he was the Queen Mother's favorite nephew, equivalent to a half-adopted son, so the bandits did not stop doing anything, and even used him to ask the court for ransom.

Prince Ning and his party could barely hide their smiles in the court, while Prime Minister Zuo was calm and unruffled. Fu Tingye did not express his position either, but some of his generals were iron-blooded men, and they were all fierce on the battlefield. The man who would rather die standing than live on his knees made some insinuations about Zheng Sheng's cowardice and incompetence in court.

Although Fu Tingye stopped them in time, even so, the Zheng family's relatives still blamed Fu Tingye for this shame. They were itching with hatred, but they couldn't say a word to defend themselves.

After all, it is a fact that Zheng Sheng is incompetent.

The current situation couldn't be clearer. Due to the pressure from officials from all sides of the court, the Queen Mother would naturally not let the court dig out gold to save people. Not only that, the bandit had to be suppressed and extinguished with thunderous force.

Otherwise, the storm on this hilltop has just calmed down today, and the smoke is rising on that hilltop tomorrow, and then the court will become a gold bag for bandits.
