Young Marshal: Many children bring more blessings, marry a wife who is as powerful as the world

Chapter 35 Why Does This Headband Have Two Little Ears?

“Madam, this ice cream is a Western treat that the General brought from Harbin. Please have a taste.”

In a delicate courtyard deep within the military camp, Gu Ruiyu gazed at the ice cream delivered by the servant girl, slightly dazed. This week, Zhang Xueming went to visit his relatives at Yu Fengzhi’s home. She rarely had time to herself.

She had expected to enjoy the freedom, but for some reason, less than two days after Zhang Xueming left, she began feeling an emptiness inside.

Her mind was filled with thoughts of his imposing figure.

Gu Ruiyu was only 20 this year, and Zhang Xueming had opened all eight gates of her heart, like unlocking Pandora’s box. Every night, she felt a surge of emotions she couldn’t control.

And because she knew she would be the future third wife of the Zhang family, all the servants treated her with the utmost care, providing her with the finest food and clothing. There was no one scolding her to practice singing or stretch her body; no one telling her to work hard, making her feel as if she were living a carefree, happy life. She had no chores to do, spent all day idling away her time, and enjoyed life!

The daily supply of nourishing supplements, the abundant sleep, and the lack of pressure were making her feel increasingly like an elegant lady of noble birth.

“I see you’ve become quite the glutton, not practicing, just eating all day. I might have to find a man to marry you off soon!”

Gu Ruiyu was about to scold her younger cousin when she noticed the servant girl returning.

“Is there something else?” Gu Ruiyu asked.

“Madam, the Master has ordered you to wear this outfit and go see him.”

Clothes?

Gu Ruiyu looked at the exquisite purple sandalwood box the servant girl handed her, inside which were a few pieces of clothing.

However…

Why was there so little fabric in these clothes?

Though embroidered with black rose patterns, they were almost translucent!

How could she wear these out?

And this headband—why did it have two furry black cat ears on it?

Finally, her hand touched a black tail. The tail’s fur was shiny and clearly made from an expensive northeastern black fox tail. The fur was perfect for a luxurious fur coat.

But why was there a shiny jade dragon bead attached to it?

Seeing Gu Ruiyu’s hesitant expression, the servant girl explained.

“Madam, the Master said if you don’t know how to wear it, you should go to him, and he will teach you personally!”

…

Thank you, technology development!

The inventor of black silk must have saved the galaxy in a previous life.

“Ruiyu, what pose is this from Peking opera?”

“Sir, this is the pose of ‘Fishing for the Moon in the Sea!'”

To sing, Gu Ruiyu practiced soft-bone skills. She could bend backward so much that her head touched her rear, forming a large “C” shape. Maintaining this pose now, she couldn’t help but admire herself.

Her tail swayed, and it was actually so cute. How did the young master come up with this?

As a famous actress in Changchun, Gu Ruiyu couldn’t resist singing a delicate piece from The Palace of Eternal Life.

“At the foot of Mount Emei, few people pass, the spring rain and breeze greet me. With a lipstick-stained horse, the Emperor rides, but I can’t see…”

Before long, Gu Ruiyu couldn’t continue.

She gazed dreamily towards the door.

“Sir, why hasn’t Sister Shuzhen come yet?”

Zhang Xueming sighed with a smile.

“Today, it seems you’ll have to work hard alone. Your sister Zhang Shuzhen has been obsessed with fighting bandits and hasn’t come back yet.”

“Sister Shuzhen, hurry back! Save me!”

…

With Wang Yongjiang’s help, the staffing in Daqing City had been greatly optimized, and the progress of the factories was managed exceptionally well.

In less than half a month, the skeletons of major factories, like the iron smelting plant, chemical plant, and armaments factory, were already erected, entering the trial production stage. Due to staffing and space constraints, these factories were only operating at 10% of their theoretical maximum capacity.

Even so, the armaments factory produced 100 Mosin-Nagant rifles and tens of thousands of bullets daily, as the factory’s design was provided by the system, making production speed far faster than the world’s average.

In the chemical factory, basic chemicals like the “three acids and two alkalis” were already being shipped. With these, Zhang Xueming could now construct level 3 buildings!

For example, glycerin made from nitric acid and calcium dihydrogen phosphate made from concentrated sulfuric acid were essential for the “explosives factory” and “fertilizer factory.”

Moreover, the oil extraction plant could produce 200 barrels of crude oil daily, extracting “asphalt” from heavy oil, which Zhang Xueming most desired.

With asphalt, Zhang Xueming could finally lay level 1 asphalt roads and put an end to the muddy roads in Daqing. There were too many valuable byproducts from petroleum: aviation gasoline, diesel, lubricating oil, heavy oil, asphalt, and polyethylene!

Furthermore, using petroleum-based fabrics, he could create “Dacron” cloth, a durable and wrinkle-resistant material ideal for making work uniforms.
