After saying that, Yu Ren whispered in Lu Xiangsheng's ear, "The reason why I didn't tell that 'Mr. Zhao' where I live is because I am temporarily living in the mountains." After saying that, Yu Ren

Then he turned around and left with Fatty Xu.

Lu Xiangsheng stood firmly on the spot, muttering those two words in his mouth: On the mountain? On the mountain? He still couldn't figure out the meaning of Yu Ren's words, so he finally had to give up and turn around and go back to the inn.

After Yu Ren left Yunjian Tea House, he and Fatty Xu returned to their hot air balloon base on the mountain. He saw that everyone was dividing their work according to the plan and doing their own things in an orderly manner. Yu Ren felt relieved. Seeing the heat

The leather balloon was almost done, and Yu Ren felt that there was no need to worry about it anymore. So he squatted on the ground and used a bamboo stick to draw a simple airplane shape.

Yu Ren did not major in science and engineering. He knew nothing about airplanes. However, since he started to build this hot air balloon, he also developed ambitions for airplanes. This is probably the mentality of wanting to fly to the sky!

"What is this?" Fatty Xu on the side saw that Yu Ren had drawn another strange thing that he had never seen before, and he couldn't help but asked curiously. In the eyes of Huang Han and his group, Yu Ren always had something in his mind.

It contained countless strange and interesting things that they could never have thought of in their eight lifetimes. What impressed them even more was that these fanciful ideas in Yu Ren's mind could finally be proven by facts to be true.

It makes sense. This made these young people in the late Ming Dynasty regard Yu Ren as a god.

But Fatty Xu had a different understanding. He thought Yu Ren was more like a wordless heavenly book. He really wanted to follow Yu Ren all the time, so that he could always write down his weird and amazing designs and designs.

idea.

Yu Ren drew a rough diagram of an airplane on the ground. But he felt it was not right. Because what he drew was a modern airplane. After thinking about it, Yu Ren changed it into an early airplane diagram. But even so.

, he could only draw a rough outline, and he was still not sure about details such as the proportions of the fuselage and wings and the size of the tail.

Fatty Xu watched quietly as Yu Ren drew shapes of airplanes one after another on the ground. Gradually, he began to steal. Finally, Fatty Xu couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart and asked softly, "

Boss, can this thing fly into the sky?"

Yu Ren glanced at Fatty Xu and showed an approving smile. "You really have some enlightenment. Tell me, how did you see that they can fly into the sky?"

Fatty Xu showed a shy smile, and then slowly said, "I, I guessed it too. When I look at it, it looks like two open wings on both sides. But it's obvious that these two wings cannot flap up and down.

At first I couldn't figure it out. But then it suddenly occurred to me that I once saw a northerner playing eagle in the city of Hangzhou. When the eagle flew in the sky, it sometimes spread its wings like this without flapping."

Yu Ren nodded. It seems that Fatty Xu is really a natural talent in science and technology. With such a person assisting him, if he is given sufficient funds, he is really confident that he can build a genuine aircraft.

Thinking like this, Yu Ren drew another image of a modern fighter jet on the ground. Suddenly, he thought of something and couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Isn't he just dreaming in vain? If he wants to build an airplane, in this era, even the steam engine has not yet been invented. Even if he builds the airplane, what will he use to power it? Thinking of this fatal point, Yu Ren reaches out and will

The five or six pictures of airplanes that I had drawn on the ground were erased.

"It seems that it is not easy to make something!" Yu Ren said, sighing and standing up. For the first time, he felt the constraints of this era's backward technology on him.

At this time, Fatty Xu's followers came up the mountain to report that someone had come to the house to invite Mr. Yu and the young master to a banquet.

Yu Ren knew that he must be from Yang Ju's sect. He didn't want to go at first. But Fatty Xu tried his best to persuade him to get closer to Yang Ju. He said that Yang Ju had always been a good person among the sect members of the Donglin Party.

He is very prestigious. If you build a good relationship with him, you will have a great supporter in your future career as a scholar.

After hearing this, Yu Ren couldn't help but reveal a wry smile. He knew that for a person who struggled to read sideline newspapers, his desire to take the imperial examination would be as unrealistic as his current desire to build a fifth-generation stealth fighter.

.However, he still agreed to go to the banquet because he thought of his brother Fatty Xu, who was still under the orders of his father, and planned to take this opportunity to get to know more famous people, so that the Xu family could gain more influence in the officialdom in the future.

Let’s build some connections! This trip may be insignificant to him, Yu Ren, but it is of great significance to his brother Xu Shichang.

For his brother's mission, Yu Ren decided to go to the banquet, which was not the Hongmen Banquet anyway.

Yu Ren followed Fatty Xu to their house. Yu Ren discovered that Fatty Xu's family might not be very rich, at least on the surface, not very rich. Their family lived not far from Qingbo Gate, and Huang Han's shop

They are not very far apart. Although compared with small households like Huang Han and others, Fatty Xu’s family is already considered a big one. But compared with the large local households in the luxury areas of Hangzhou, it pales in comparison.

Much more.

The Xu family's courtyard has three entrances, but the main house has only five rooms, which means it is a slender structure. Each entrance has a main house and a side room. There are about twenty rooms in total. Such a family, in

In Hangzhou, it is easy to find one or two hundred households.

"Is this your home?" Yu Ren didn't believe it.

"Yes! What's wrong? Boss."

"I remember, when I first saw you at Wu Shan's place, he brought two servants with him. There are so many people in your family, and it is only so big. How can those servants live in it?"

"Hehe!" Fatty Xu showed a sly smile and whispered in Yu Ren's ear, "Actually, our family does not have many servants, and the total number of servants will not exceed ten. There are other shopkeepers, shopkeepers, etc.

Some of them live in Fuzi's house, and some have their own homes in the city. The servants you saw me bring last time are actually not our servants. They were hired temporarily from the martial arts school.

bodyguard.

We need a debt! Of course we have to bring bodyguards. Besides, our Xu family is an outsider. If we don’t act fierce, the debt we owe will not be easy to recover." Fatty Xu said with an experienced look.

Yu Ren still had a question, "Your family doesn't seem very rich. Why is your father willing to give you so much pocket money every month?"

Fatty Xu smiled mysteriously and whispered in Yu Ren's ear, "Actually, my father is pretending to be poor. In terms of family wealth, even if our family is not ranked among the top three in Hangzhou, there will be no problem in the top ten. But

My father has always said that our family's ancestral home is in Songjiang Prefecture, and we are considered outsiders in Hangzhou. What's more, our family has no backing from the government in Hangzhou. We can't let others look at our family with jealousy, so we have to keep a low profile. This is our family's house.

Why is it so small and has so few servants?"

Yu Ren suddenly realized. It seemed that Fatty Xu's father was not a simple person.

The two of them talked and then arrived at the door of Xu's house. When a guard at the door saw Fatty Xu, he called him "young master". It was the first time he saw Yu Ren and he didn't know what to call him.

"This is my distant cousin, whose surname is Yu. You can just call him Mr. Yu from now on." Fatty Xu said.

"Hello, Mr. Yu!" The boy saluted Yu Ren.

The two of them entered the main hall and saw "Mr. Zhao" already waiting there. Seeing Yu Ren and the others coming in, "Mr. Zhao" quickly stood up.

Yu Ren was a little surprised. He didn't expect that Yang Ju would send "Mr. Zhao" to invite him in person. Obviously, in Yang Ju's mind, he took Yu Ren more seriously.

"I don't dare to take it! I don't dare to take it!" Yu Ren hurriedly said to "Mr. Zhao".

"Brother Yu, you don't have to be polite. You are willing to take such a big risk for the sake of our Donglin Party. I am just doing a small job of running around and serving tea."

Yu Ren said seriously, "Brother Zhao, you must not say that. Our eyes are like a game of chess and a war. The five of us are just warriors charging into the battle, and you are our logistical support. When Chu and Han fought, Prime Minister Xiao

I have never been to the battlefield in person, but I was praised by Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty as the first hero of the founding of the country. 'Mr. Zhao,' you are now our Xiao He!"

"Mr. Zhao" blushed at Yu Ren's words. But she was very happy in her heart. Compared with Yu Ren, although Yang Ju respected her in everything, it was more about respecting her status. But Yu Ren

But Ren was different. What he saw was not her identity, but her abilities. In front of Yu Ren, what she got was recognition and praise of her abilities. This made her suddenly feel a kind of happiness and satisfaction that she had never experienced before.
