Chapter 2247: Adorable
But time passed so quickly.
So quickly that Old Master Nan realized that this Nan Hou Xiang was already 20 to 21 years old and already eligible for Imperial Court's examination.
While there was actually no bottom limit for their age when they took the examination, it was recommended they were already adults when they took the examination. Because there were many knowledge that they had to study and master from the bottom of their heart if they wanted to pass the examination.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
Over the years, Nan Hou Xiang's name had never appeared.
Now that he had signed up to participate in the examination, this matter was naturally reported to Old Master Nan.
No matter how much the Nan Family refused this young master, he was still from the Nan Family's lineage. Besides, whether he could attend the Imperial Court or not would also depend on Old Master Nan's words.
If Old Master Nan didn't want this grandson of his to participate, then no matter how many times he submitted his application and intention to participate in the examination, he would never be able to pass.
After all, the fact that Old Master Nan had estranged relationship with his son back then was a not a secret.
It was also known that Old Master Nan only treated Nan Hua and Nan Luo as his
grandchildren.
The others?
They didn't enter his eyes.
As for Nan Hou Xiang participating in the imperial examination's matter, Old Master Nan simply let him be. He would not interfere in this matter and if Nan Hou Xiang was capable enough, then he could pave his way up by himself.
The ministers who received Old Master Nan's response also knew what they should do when they heard this.
The matter was soon forgotten by Old Master Nan.
Right now, he was only watching the soldiers who left from the wall. It has been some time since he came here and seeing the soldiers leaving, he was reminded on the days when he was still an active general on the battlefield.
Now that he was already so old, no one dared to ask him to step forward.
Unless the situation was extremely dire such as there was an attack reaching Fei Yang Kingdom's Capital City, no one would move Old Master Nan. After all, the doctor's evaluation was not false and Old Master Nan truly didn't have the strength to continue fighting on the frontline like before.
...
The soldiers were marching to the frontline and on their way to the north, Long Qian Xing received the arrangement from Great General Wei. The arrangement was relatively simple but it was important.
Moreover, he made a short stop in some cities to meet with some people. This included the city where Blacksmith Duan was located. The reason was mainly to take the ordered weapon from them, but Long Xu also took this advantage to see Blacksmith Duan's sister.
When Long Ai Ning knew about this matter, she pestered her brother without stopping.
Only after getting her brother's confirmation that he planned to marry Blacksmith Duan's sister after the war that Long Ai Ning let him go.
But then she went to play with Blacksmith Duan's sister.
Long Xu: ".

Lou saw this scene and patted Long Xu's back. "Let her play with her. If you're going to be a family, you need to be able to get along with each other."
Having a harmonious family would be the best.
Of course, if it was not possible, then it was fine to talk about it and just got along on the surface while not having much interaction in reality.
Isn't it good enough that they were able to get along well?
"I know." Long Xu sighed and shook his head.
Lou nodded and looked at Blacksmith Duan's sister at the front, who was talking happily with Long Ai Ning.
Blacksmith Duan's sister's name was Duan Shi Nian. She was already 28 years old and couldn't be considered young anymore. If the marriage with Long Xu went through, this would be her second marriage.
Long Xu himself was already in his thirties and not that young anymore.
It was just that he never truly considered the matter of settling down because he was truly busy on the frontline and as Long Qian Xing's manservant. The main reason why he came here was because he was moved by the beauty.
He didn't care much about Duan Shi Nian's past and appreciated her, which was why he wanted to propose after the war.
As for why he didn't do it right now...
There was no time.
Their stop to this city was only for a few days to get the batch of weapon and also more supplies for the next war.
At the same time, Long Qian Xing and Nan Hua was reviewing the customized weapon they ordered from Blacksmith Duan.
"This crossbow is far better than the one before," Long Qian Xing commented as he tried the crossbow.
"The materials prepared are good." Blacksmith Duan smiled. "Moreover, the design is really unique and it's truly my blessing to be able to make it."
Over the years, Blacksmith Duan had received many orders from Nan Hua and Long Qian Xing. Because the two of them came from a different world and different era, they have a large reserve of knowledge about weapons and so on.
Of course, many of them were not suitable to be brought out.
Not considering whether it could be made or not, many of these weapons were things that could destroy and change the entire era.
"You're also good." Long Qian Xing rolled his eyes and put the crossbow away. "Thank you for your help over the years."
"It's nothing much." Blacksmith Duan waved his hand. He rubbed his hand. "If you're truly thankful to me, show me more blueprint for interesting weapons."
The only thing that interest Blacksmith Duan was weapons and making weapons. So for him, it was good that these two trusted him and he could make various weapons.
