Chapter 781: Some things can be unnecessary, but cannot be absent.

When the three little ones saw Shen Xia coming, they happily called out to their mother and their grandma, grandpa, and great-grandpa.

Finally, she called Su Yao godmother.

Yifan looked at the box in Father Shen's hand, staring at the rectangular box in Father Shen's hand with surprise and said, "Grandpa, have you made toys for us again?"

Father Shen looked at Yifan kindly, then pinched Yifan's little face and said, "This is not it. This is something for your grandmother."

Yiyan asked curiously, "Wow, what grandpa made must be amazing. Can we take a look?"

Father Shen was about to say: "But..."

The result is not over yet.

Then the eldest princess interrupted, "The food is getting cold, let's wait and see!"

Shen Xia looked at the eldest princess with an expression.

Then he continued: "Yes, the food is getting cold. Those are not toys for children to play with. Just tell me what toys you want. I will make them for you next time."

Yifan Yiyan listened to his mother's words and nodded obediently: "Okay!"

Shen Xia looked at the steaming dishes on the table.

She was confused, but she understood that her princess mother would not say nonsense. If she spoke, there must be a reason.

Father Shen also said: "Well, just tell grandpa what you want, and grandpa will make it for you."

Then, the whole family sat down together to eat.

After dinner, the eldest princess asked two maids to make tea.

The princess frowned slightly, finally unable to suppress her inner curiosity, she asked softly, "Could it be that the things in this box are bows and arrows?"

Father Shen smiled and nodded, "Your Highness, that's right. Xia Xia specifically asked me to make several different types of bows and arrows, so I carefully made three styles. One of them is a bow that can fire multiple arrows at the same time;"

"Another one is a compound bow that fires a single arrow; and finally there is a crossbow that also has the ability to fire multiple arrows at once."

"Your Highness, please try it yourself and see which one is better for you." However, the eldest princess seemed unable to fully comprehend the deep meaning of Mr. Shen's words and showed some doubt on her face.

Seeing this, Shen Xia, who was standing aside, had no choice but to walk forward and gently open the exquisite wooden box.

In addition to three bows of different shapes and emitting a faint woody fragrance, the box also contained several hand-drawn drawings by Shen's father and detailed instructions.

Those words were all written with a brush. Although the calligraphy level was not as exquisite as that of Grandpa Shen and Shen Xia, it was definitely not bad and he did have some skills.

After all, the Shen family has been passed down from generation to generation. Even if Father Shen failed to fully inherit the old man's expertise, it would not be that he has not inherited any of the true skills!

After the box was completely opened, Father Shen carefully took out each bow and arrow one by one, and carefully introduced to the princess their unique functions and the effective range they could achieve.

Shen Xia, who had been standing quietly by the side, keenly caught the look of astonishment in the eldest princess's beautiful eyes.

It was obvious that the eldest princess was very fond of these new and novel things in front of her.

In fact, for Mr. Shen, making these bows and arrows was just a small attempt.

As long as there are enough materials and all the tools, it would be no problem for him to make a more complex and sophisticated pistol.

So in this era of cold weapons, Shen's father and others simply cannot understand how useful this thing is.

And just now when Mr. Shen was explaining its range, the eldest princess' pupils dilated in surprise.

The range alone is surprising enough.

At that time, the average range of bows and arrows was 50 to 150 meters, and the range of very sophisticated bows and arrows was only 200 meters, and there were only a handful of such bows and arrows.

Due to limited materials, mass production is impossible.

And this compound bow can reach a range of 250 to 300 meters.

How could the princess not be surprised?

The princess asked, "Can this thing be mass-produced?"

Father Shen was puzzled, why couldn't it be mass-produced?

But then I thought, Your Highness, do you think this material is difficult to obtain?

That’s true. After all, some of the things were bought by Xia Xia from Modern.

“But it’s mass-produced.”

When the princess heard that it could be mass-produced, she was very excited.

Some things can be dispensed with, but cannot be absent.

This thing can actually be mass-produced.

If she can use it, then what if...

It is also possible to win with less.

She had no intention before, but now she is not alone, she has a daughter and a grandchild, so she has to plan.

Let them live the rest of their lives in safety.

Always have a backup plan.

The tragedy of that year must never happen again.

She never wanted to endure the pain of losing a loved one again.

Shen Xia saw that the princess was distracted, so she called softly, "Mother, what's wrong with you?"

The princess finally came to her senses.

He smiled and said, "It's okay, I just think that if this weapon is mass-produced, its power cannot be underestimated!"

Father Shen put the things back into the box: "It doesn't matter how much of this thing you can produce."

The eldest princess was about to speak again.

Then I heard a bird chirping outside.

He just closed the box.

Then he said, "We'll discuss this matter in your yard some other day."

"Okay!"

Shen Xia was surprised that there were birds singing in the front yard at this time.

Then Nanny Xu and Nanny Gui came over with tea.

What else doesn't Shen Xia understand now!

That bird call must be a secret signal!

But among these two maids, could one of them be a spy?

Mr. and Mrs. Shen are also very smart.

And Grandpa Shen.

Just by observing from the side, you can find the problem.

It seems that although the eldest princess has a noble status, it is not that easy to be one.

Su Yao listened quietly beside him without saying anything.

Teasing Yi Yi who was beside him.

Yifan was just about to ask, he wanted one too.

As a result, Shen's mother hugged him in her arms and interrupted him by talking about other things.

Children have short memories and will forget what happened if they are interrupted.

Everyone drank tea together again.

It’s getting late.

Shen Xia then let Chunhua Qiushi take the child back to sleep.

She sent Shen's mother and the others to the intersection of the yards and then returned to the yard.

Shen Xia lived here and originally planned to sleep next to Yi Yi.

But the two little ones also wanted to compete for attention, so they stayed in one room all day.

Today it's Yi Yi's turn again.

When Shen Xia returned to the room, Yi Yi had just finished taking a shower.

Shen Xia stepped forward to help her put on her clothes.

In fact, Yi Yi is so old now, but she really rarely puts clothes on her.

Yi Yi looked at Shen Xia: "Mom, it would be great if you could sleep next to me every day."

Shen Xia looked at the child who looked very similar to herself.

She smiled and said, "Then I will have no choice but to chop myself into eight pieces and let each of you take a piece."

Yi Yi immediately retorted after hearing this: “No.”
