Lin Zhiyu took the veil from Qiaoxiu's hand and put it on, making her originally bright and charming eyes even more mysterious and charming.

After Lin Zhiyu made sure that she was wrapped tightly, she walked towards the inner management office.

Aunt Hai had already folded the chain armor neatly. When she saw Lin Zhiyu and his party coming this way, she smiled and stood up to greet them.

"Thank you for your hard work, aunt."

Lin Zhiyu was not in a hurry to check the chainmail, but asked Qiaoxiu behind him to step forward and hand Aunt Hai a heavy purse.

Aunt Hai was stunned for a moment, and the smile on her face became even stronger: "Big girl, what is this?"

"I know that the production process of this chainmail is very complicated. This is a small gesture, and it should be considered as my aunt's hard work."

Aunt Hai took the purse and weighed it with her hands. Seeing that there was no one around, she put it directly into her sleeve.

Lin Xiaolian on the side couldn't help but secretly curse in her heart. The Hui Mo she got last time was not enough. It was so incompetent that a snake swallows an elephant!

Just when Lin Zhiyu was about to go in and check the chainmail, a clear male voice suddenly came from behind.

"Auntie has hard-earned money, why don't I? You are too fair-minded."

Everyone was startled and turned around to look back, but no one could be seen.

Suddenly, a young man with a half-high ponytail jumped down from the elm tree in the courtyard. With a cynical look, he casually brushed off the fallen leaves on his body, then stretched out his hand to Lin Zhiyu and said:

"I also want."

Qiao Xiu took a step forward and protected Lin Zhiyu behind her. Lin Xiaolian stretched out a finger and pointed at the young man menacingly. She put her other hand on her waist and said, "Which family are you a dandy? How rude!"

"Dandy kid? How do I look like a dude?"

The young man chuckled and spread his hands, not taking Lin Xiaolian's words seriously at all.

"Hey, Miss Xiaolian, this is Mr. Zhuang, the weapons supervisor. How can you say that he is a playboy?"

Aunt Hai was also startled by this sudden turn of events. She was stunned for a moment, and her left hand unconsciously blocked the sleeve where the purse was hidden, and then she came out to smooth things over.

"It turns out to be Mr. Zhuang. I'm rude."

Lin Zhiyu was slightly blessed. Although he was young, he had great abilities, which might be useful in the future.

Zhuang Xiao looked around Lin Zhiyu up and down, which made people feel uncomfortable.

"I came here today just to see what the person who could draw that drawing looks like, but I didn't expect it to be a woman."

Zhuang Xiao said, reaching out to pick off Lin Zhiyu's veil, "You're so good, why are you covering your face? Is there some hidden illness that you don't want outsiders to see?"

Lin Zhiyu was startled by his movement and quickly raised her hand to block it, but was still a step too slow.

The veil was not strong. Zhuang Xiao gently pulled it and half of it slipped off. After seeing the face under the veil clearly, a blush appeared on his cheeks.

The woman opposite had panic-stricken eyes, like a frightened deer. Her skin under the veil was white with a hint of pink. How could Zhuang Xiao, a person who has been dealing with cold equipment all year round, have seen such a lovely person?

For a moment, my eyes were straight.

However, Lin Zhiyu didn't notice the subtle change in Zhuang Xiao's expression at all, and hurriedly put the veil back on. After all, his face was not in good condition in the eyes of outsiders. Taking it off easily would inevitably arouse suspicion.

No matter how good-tempered Lin Zhiyu was, he still got angry at Zhuang Xiao's rude behavior:

"Zhuang Shaosi, it is too rude to expose other people's ugliness for no reason."

"That's it!"

Lin Xiaolian echoed on the side, staring at Zhuang Xiao, for fear that he would make some unexpected move again, "Deng Tuzi, do you know who our lady is?"

Seeing this, Aunt Hai quickly stood between the two of them and acted as peacemaker:

"Zhuang Shaosi, the person in front of you is the queen's sister, the eldest daughter of Prime Minister Lin's family. She is here to accompany you to the palace."

Then he turned around and whispered in Lin Zhiyu's ear:

"This is how Zhuang Shaosi's character is. Concubine Jia Fei couldn't do anything about him, so she went to the emperor to ask for a favor and let him go to the Ordnance Supervisor for training. After the girl dealt with it for a while, he got over it."

Zhuang Xiao had a sharp ear and crossed his arms, feeling very dissatisfied:

"My aunt was muttering, and it seemed like she was talking bad about me."

Because of the chainmail incident, Aunt Hai was tortured by Zhuang Xiao. She thought that since Lin Zhiyu was here, Zhuang Xiao would not do anything outrageous, and there was nothing of her own to do, so that would be fine. I owe you a courtesy.

"If you still have any problems with the chainmail, just tell Mr. Zhuang. I have other things to do, so I'll excuse you now."

As soon as she finished speaking, she hurriedly turned around and left. Unexpectedly, she thought there was some man-eating beast behind her.

Lin Zhiyu took a deep breath and took a closer look at Zhuang Xiao, feeling that he was only a young man:

"Zhuang Shaosi said that I favor one over the other, but I don't know what boys like. How about giving Zhuang Shaosi a little wooden horse?"

Hearing this, Zhuang Xiao turned green with anger: "That wooden horse is a toy for half-grown children, but I am already sixteen years old this year!"

Seeing Zhuang Xiao's deflated appearance, Lin Xiaolian and Qiao Xiu secretly laughed on the sidelines. They were secretly saying that Zhuang Xiao was a young boy. No wonder the other party was so anxious!

Lin Zhiyu didn't want to argue with Zhuang Xiao anymore. He had just interrupted her and almost forgot the purpose of her trip.

But Zhuang Xiao obviously didn't intend to expose the matter just like this. When Lin Zhiyu ignored him, he went straight to the room, took the chain armor, and shook it out as if showing off in front of Lin Zhiyu:

"Sister, take a closer look. Only I can do such exquisite craftsmanship!"

The wires bent into a circle are connected by iron chains in sequence, and the bottom is thinly sealed with leather to ensure the comfort of the wearer.

Lin Zhiyu was overjoyed. This chainmail came from the West during the Qing Dynasty. The production process was extremely complicated. She didn't have high expectations at first, but she didn't expect it to be so well made.

She reached out and was about to take it, but Zhuang Xiao hid the chain armor behind her:

"Hmph, Master, I have changed my mind. I want to keep such a good thing for myself!"

"Why are you like this!" Lin Xiaolian was anxious, "My lady worked so hard to design this. After you took the money, why did you keep it for yourself!"

"The person who took the money is Aunt Hai, what does it have to do with me!"

Zhuang Xiao looked very proud when he saw that he had the upper hand.

"Besides, you're such a delicate young lady, why are you doing this chain mail? This chain mail is so heavy that if you put it on, you probably won't be able to get up!"

With that said, he was about to take the chain mail and walk out.
