Chapter 424

For example, flush toilets, underfloor heating, glass windows, beautiful and practical furniture, etc.

In addition, the few acres of medicinal fields that Mo Hanyue planted herself were also given to her as part of the dowry.

He Zhiran was also very thoughtful. The beddings in the siheyuan given to Mo Hanyue were all complete.

Moreover, the fabrics all came from Taobao Mall.

Ancient silks were extremely rare and expensive.

It was different in Taobao Mall. There were all kinds of imitation ancient silks. She picked some that matched the style of this era and bought them. The cotton for making quilts was also indispensable.

Not long ago, He Zhiran had sent these well prepared things to her sister-in-law and asked her to help make new quilts for the wedding with several sisters-in-law.

Of course, with such beautiful fabrics, they were naturally praised by the sisters-in-law, but no one felt too surprised.

When they were in the capital, such high-end goods would occasionally go on sale in the fabric shops, but the prices were extremely expensive, and ordinary families simply could not afford them.

The sisters-in-law were already used to Mo Jiuye\'s generosity and unexpected actions. Seeing her take out so much fabric for Mo Hanyue\'s new house to make quilts, they were only envious for a moment.

As the only daughter of the Mo family going to get married, quilts alone were not enough. Recently, the little girl has been hiding in her room embroidering her wedding dress, which saved He Zhiran from having to prepare it.

But jewelry was also indispensable.

This was no problem at all. In ancient times, the jewelry worn by wealthy ladies was mainly made of gold and silver. For better workmanship, some gems would be added as embellishments.

There were plenty of such jewelry in Taobao Mall, and the styles and craftsmanship were much better than those of this era.

If it was up to He Zhiran\'s aesthetic taste, she did not like this kind.

However, she would follow the local customs here and could not make the dowry for Mo Hanyue too unconventional.

He Zhiran had already prepared these long ago, just waiting for Mo Jiuye to find time to pretend to go to the city or prefecture to get them. She would give the jewelry to Mo Jiuye, as if he had bought them back from his trip.

After waiting for two days, Mo Jiuye finally became free while bringing back good news.

The good news was that the tinplate and tin beads had been successfully produced. Fourth brother and father had tightly wrapped the tinplate around the bamboo tubes with their own hands.

Fifth brother and the others used the bamboo tubes wrapped in tinplate to make several experimental bombs. The effect was even better than imagined.

The experiment was on the mountain. Some passing birds just happened to be there when the bomb exploded. The birds did not even escape.

With such power, how could the enemy possibly get any benefits from them?

Seeing the power of the bombs, the brothers were very motivated. They produced dozens of bombs using the same method that day.

Their speed was fast. Mo Qing and Mo Xiuyan did not dare to delay one bit. They started making bamboo tubes early every morning.

Unknowingly, the two felt that their bodies had recovered a lot of strength.

Especially Mo Xiuyan, after his hand tendons were reconnected by He Zhiran, he hadn\'t dared to overexert himself.

Now he didn\'t even feel it took much effort to wrap the tinplate around the bamboo tubes.

Especially when thinking that they could contribute to the family, father and son worked tirelessly when busy.

Seeing that the production of bombs was gradually on track, Mo Jiuye chose a day to get up early, and took the jewelry and other items prepared by He Zhiran for Mo Hanyue\'s dowry to go to town by carriage.

His ostensible purpose for going to town was to buy dowry for his sister, but he actually had another important thing to do.

That was he planned to go see Meng Huaining.

Recently Meng Huaining had been too busy preparing for his wedding, so he hadn\'t come to visit for a long time.

The silly boy didn\'t even know that his future father-in-law had returned, otherwise how could he have lost his manners?

That was his future father-in-law, yet he had completely missed the best opportunity to show his face.

It was also because Mo Qing was stubborn. After learning that his precious daughter would marry soon, he felt very uncomfortable.

The girl he had doted on and raised with his own hands had reached the age of marriage. To be honest, Mo Qing felt very guilty that Mo Hanyue had lost so many years of fatherly love.

Especially since Mo Qing had lost all his memories of the past eight years. In his impression, his precious daughter was still an obedient and lovely little girl. How could he have returned home to her getting married?

This was something Mo Qing was unwilling to accept from the bottom of his heart, yet he had no choice but to accept it. After all, it was the eternal truth that men should marry and women should be married off when they came of age.

When a girl reached marriageable age, he could not make her stay even if he wanted to.

Although Mo Qing understood these principles, he still felt uncomfortable about meeting the man who would take his precious daughter away.

Therefore, he specifically told Mo Chuhan not to reveal the news of his return to Meng Huaining when going to take office.

He wanted to wait for the family snatcher to come to the door himself and give him a surprise.

The main reason Mo Jiuye went to find Meng Huaining was that he was worried about the situation in the capital. Naturally he had to follow his father\'s will and not reveal the news of his return.

Xiaobai had left for the capital with the letter more than ten days ago. Reasonably, it should have already delivered the letter.

If Emperor Shunwu had successfully found the gu raiser master, Fei Nanyu would have let Xiaobai come back with a message as soon as he received the news.

But Xiaobai still hadn\'t returned. Mo Jiuye was worried that the old general Jin\'s health couldn\'t hold on.

He knew Meng Huaining was in touch with Fei Nanyu, so he thought he could get some news from the capital through him.

It happened that when Mo Jiuye arrived, Meng Huaining had just finished hearing a case in the court hall and was stepping out.

"Ninth brother, when did you come over?" Seeing Mo Jiuye, Meng Huaining\'s face changed from his usual sternness to a smile as he walked up to greet him.

Mo Jiuye threw the reins of the horse on the wooden post in front of the yamen gate. Facing his future brother-in-law, he did not intend to beat around the bush.

"I came to ask Brother Meng about some things."

Meng Huaining knew that Mo Jiuye was always busy at home. He would not come to find him for no reason. He quickly gestured for Mo Jiuye to come to the study used as his office.

After not seeing him for a while, Mo Jiuye noticed that Meng Huaining looked much thinner.

"Brother Meng, you seem to have lost weight?"

He was not a gossip, only asking out of concern because Meng Huaining had clearly lost a noticeable amount of weight.

Being cared for by his future uncle, Meng Huaining\'s face turned red.

He smiled awkwardly, "Just been busy recently."

When he said he was busy, Mo Jiuye did not doubt it. As a parent official, especially one as clean as Meng Huaining, there must be endless trivial matters to deal with every day.

Plus his wedding with Mo Jiuye\'s sister was approaching, being busy was understandable.
