Chapter 466 Yun's depression
"Because the nail plate is made relatively thin." Wei Ruo replied.
Wei Mingting looked carefully again, and it was indeed thinner than he expected.
Wei Ruo explained again: "Father, don't worry, although the armor is a little thinner, its hardness is not a problem, and it can withstand ordinary sword attacks."
"Why is this so?" Wei Mingting asked.
"The iron and steel used to make this armor used a lot of fluorite during smelting, and copper was added during production. After the workpiece was shaped, it was put into a crucible, covered with charcoal, fermented soybeans, and soil powder, and heated outside the container, so that the carburization of the workpiece was stable and uniform, and the carbon potential increased. This made it have good ductility and greatly improved its strength."
"How does Ruo'er know this?" Wei Mingting couldn't help asking.
"It is the method that the master craftsman who made this armor told me. The hardness and ductility of iron can be changed by adjusting the ratio of iron to carbon."
"Where is this old master? Can you give me some introductions for my father?" Wei Mingting asked quickly, his expression a little excited.
"Master lived in the mountains for a long time and rarely interacted with people. I also obtained this armor by chance." Wei Ruo replied.
"Since this is the case, it's a pity." Wei Mingting couldn't help feeling sorry, "If he can teach this improved technology to the people in the Weapons Battalion, it will greatly improve the combat effectiveness of our army."
Wei Ruo didn't answer.
Wei Mingting continued: "Anyway, thank you Ruoer for preparing this armor for my father. My father is very happy and will take it to the battlefield."
"I hope my father will be safe and sound on the battlefield, and win a big victory every time." Wei Ruo said.
"Thank you Ruo'er, I will do my best for my father." Wei Mingting looked at Wei Ruo with moved and gratified eyes.

Wei Ruo and Wei Mingting left the Zhongyibo Mansion not long after they finished talking.
After Wei Ruo left, everyone in the Wei family checked the gifts that Wei Ruo had brought, only to find that Wei Ruo's return gifts were all fake, and there was nothing valuable at all.
This disappointed everyone in the Wei family who had been expecting this.
Especially Bai Shi, she said bitterly: "What, it's nice to say, I really thought His Highness Prince Rui doted on her, but the return gifts were all worthless things! It's too perfunctory!"
Mother Mo said softly at the side: "It's not all like that. You can see that the gifts that Princess Rui gave to mother and third younger brother are very expensive. There are also the Four Treasures of the Study for Yichen and the scar cream for Yilin. They are all very valuable."
"Who knows? I only saw the bracelet from a distance, and it might not be worth much. As for the carload of thyme, it's even harder to say. It was said that it was sent to the general's mansion. Who knows whether it was sent to the general's mansion in the end, and whether it was ordinary wine or thyme." Bai muttered.
When Bai said that, Mo was speechless.
Yun Shi stood aside without saying a word.
There was nothing prepared for her in the return ceremony, this attitude couldn't be more clear.
She was either reluctant to prepare gifts, or she didn't want to prepare them for other people in the mansion.
And her mother's position in her heart is the same as Bai's and the others, no different.
This huge gap made Yun's heart feel like a big stone was crushed.
Mr. Yun returned to Anxin Pavilion, and saw her husband packing his luggage.
"I'll leave early tomorrow morning." Wei Mingting replied.
His trip to Beijing was authorized by the emperor to rush back to attend his daughter's wedding, so he was about to leave for the barracks as soon as his daughter passed through the door.
Wearing the words, Yun couldn't help feeling lost and sad, but she also knew that her husband had responsibilities and couldn't slack off.
Yun still has questions to ask Wei Mingting, but he hesitates to ask this question.
After standing aside for a while, Yun couldn't help but asked: "Husband, what did you talk to Ruo'er today?"
"Ruo'er asked me some questions, nothing important." Wei Mingting didn't answer directly.
Hearing this, Yun felt more and more depressed and uncomfortable.
"Does my husband not trust my concubine?" Yun asked.
"Don't think too much about it." Wei Mingting said, "It's been a busy day today, and you're tired too. Let's rest earlier."
Mr. Yun was silent for a while, feeling unwilling but still complied, and helped Wei Mingting pack his luggage with a heavy and aggrieved heart.

On the way back to Prince Rui's Mansion, Wei Ruo leaned on the cushion and closed his eyes, thinking.
After these three days of calm and precipitation, Wei Ruo has almost sorted out his emotions, and it's time to think about the way to go next.
In fact, she already knew that it would be difficult for her not to be involved in this turmoil. The Wei family has Wei Qingwan, who is going to marry King Yu as a side concubine, and Wei Mingyong, who wants to cling to King Yu.
Even if she really married an ordinary person as she wished and broke away from the Wei family, if the Wei family did too much, she would still be implicated.
In comparison, she is more active in her current situation. If the matter of King Yu affects the Wei family, her status as Princess Rui can protect her; if the second brother plans to fight for the heirloom, at least she can do something. Even if she loses in the end, she will not be too aggrieved.
As for the fact that Wei Jin also lied to her, Wei Ruo is naturally still a little angry, but she can put this aside and figure out what she is going to do next.
How to save your own life is the top priority.
She didn't want to spend all her energy on arguing and getting angry with Wei Jinyi. She didn't realize that she forgot to do business until Chu Lan became emperor and the knife was on their necks.
Wei Ruo remembered that the setting related to Xu Guogong and Queen Xu in the original book was for Chu Lan to overthrow Chu Heng.
The mastermind behind the frame of Xu Guogong is Qi Guifei and her brother.
Because Chu Lan exposed this incident, Concubine Qi fell out of favor, Qi Yansong was expelled from office and imprisoned in prison, King Yu Chu Heng's status plummeted.
Now, the second elder brother of this generation has found the letters hidden by Duke Xu’s mansion and cleared Duke Xu of treason charges, but he has not found out the mastermind behind the scenes. Currently, the status of Concubine Qi and Chu Heng has not been affected.
I don’t know what the second brother’s next goal is, is he trying to overthrow Chu Lan and Chu Heng and ascend to the throne?
If he really wanted this, shouldn't she help him?
Wei Ruo's mood is somewhat contradictory, she has no interest in conquering the world, and she is not good at political affairs.
She has always felt that her brain is not bad, and she can remember many things after reading it once, and learning it once.
But this is only limited to the things she is good at, and she is really not good at the things she is not good at.
The only advantage she has in fighting for storage is probably that she has read the original book, and this may not be useful now, because of the butterfly effect, the development of the plot is quite different from the original.
