Chapter 3 The Four Great Inventions
Xiu Zhu was stunned by Wu Shigong's teasing, her eyes widened and her mouth widened, and her blush spread from her face to the base of her neck. Then she woke up and her little head "swoosh" out of the cloth tent. She ran outside. While running, she said, "Young Master's head must be broken, I'll go to the Marquis's place to report the good news." Her words made Wu Shigong stunned. My brain broke down when she reported my father's good news? The little girl was incoherent. Then she laughed out loud with a prank. No, her stomach hurts, and tears came out.
Lying alone in bed, Wu Shigong gradually calmed down. Since he had traveled through time, don't waste his advantage of traveling through time. It would be great if he could cheat based on known history. The unlucky guy who was traveled through time read "A Brief History of the National Dynasty", but those were things that had happened in the Ming Dynasty. Wu Shigong himself, based on his cultural level that had not graduated from junior high school, he would not mention his historical knowledge.
Wu Shigong only remembers that he is in mid-May of the sixth year of the Ming Dynasty. Tianqi? Emperor Tianqi? I have never heard of it. To be precise, except for Zhu Yuanzhang who was the founding country and Chongzhen who was the hanged, Wu Shigong in his previous life knew no other emperors of the Ming Dynasty. Wu Shigong couldn't help but sigh that it would be great if he traveled to the Qing Dynasty. Thanks to many modern Qing palace dramas, Wu Shigong was still familiar with the emperors of the Qing Dynasty. But if he thought about it carefully, in the play, these emperors went to Jiangnan to kill corrupt officials and talk about love, and they didn't know what they had done. On the contrary,
I know a little about the two empress dowagers of the Qing Dynasty. One is that he had an affair with the high-ranking official of the Ming Dynasty (Wu Shigong didn't know it was Hong Chengchou); the other is that he had an affair with her brother-in-law, like the queen mother of Xiaozhuang, who had a love husband flying all over the sky. The other is that he cut the map of China from "camel" to "rooster", and there was a eunuch named Xiao Lizi by his side. Of course, in Wu Shigong's memory, the most famous figure in the Qing Dynasty was a princess, the princess named Huanzhu. I heard that for her, many writers who had Qidian Female Fresh had to change their pen name to "Qiong Yao".
It seemed that he couldn't cheat anymore. Wu Shigong moved his muscles and felt that he was in good condition, so he pushed open the quilt and bent down and crawled out of the cloth tent and got up. The bedroom was very small, with almost no other furniture except one bed. There was only a bedside table with a few books on it. There was a small stool beside the bed, which seemed to be where Xiongzhu was sitting just now. Outside, there was a curtain, there was a small bed, and the quilt was folded neatly, which should be where Xiongzhu sleeps. Walking out of the bedroom was a small hall, turning left, Wu Shigong walked into the study.
As soon as he entered the study, Wu Shigong was shocked. The study was very messy, with books everywhere, many of which were opened, and even a few books were lost on the chair. Wu Shigong was a little impressed by the unlucky guy. Because Wu Shigong heard a saying that if the books in the study were very neat, it proved that the owner did not read books, but instead studied hard. Now Wu Shigong understood a little, why didn't this unlucky guy go out to entertain, so many books (lose), how to entertain? Whether it was playing mahjong or fighting landlord, there was only a bunch of books (lose)!
The sunlight shone through the window and felt very comfortable on his body. Without a watch, Wu Shigong looked up at the direction of the sun. It was probably nine or ten o'clock in the morning. He moved his joints a few times, put on a stent, and made a set of combination punches. He was quite satisfied. He looked good in his body, and except for the bandaged head, he also had some pain. Even the wound on his head was not a big problem. Wu Shigong had been fighting since he was a child and had a lot of experience in being beaten and injured.
A noise suddenly came from his ears. Wu Shigong pushed open the window of the study and looked out. Seeing Xiuzhu holding a food box in his hand, his face turned red. A serious middle-aged woman surrounded Xiuzhu and chattered and said something. Hearing the sound of Wu Shigong opening the window, they looked towards Wu Shigong together. Xiuzhu took the opportunity to rush out of the circumference and trot towards the room.
The middle-aged woman squatted slightly, as if she was going to salute Wu Shigong, but as soon as she made a move, she seemed to remember something again, so she nodded to Wu Shigong, saying he had said he had a long time. Then she turned around and took the women away. Wu Shigong smiled mockingly, and it seemed that his status was indeed very low! These servants did not take their Fourteenth Master seriously at all. They probably were bullying Xiuzhu just now. It would be fine anyway. I guess my family would not be able to stay for a few days, so I don't have to worry about it.
Seeing that Xiuzhu was about to walk to the door, Wu Shigong also closed the window and walked out of the study room to the small hall. Xiuzhu walked in angrily and put the food box on the table. Seeing that Wu Shigong was wearing only underwear, he immediately complained: "Young master, you really don't take care of yourself. You're just injured in your head, and now you're only wearing a small coat and getting out of bed. What if the wind blows, what will happen if you get typhoid? I don't know if anyone cares about you in the future." As he said that, Xiuzhu's tears came down.
Wu Shigong is most afraid of women's tears. Of course, if this woman's appearance is sorry to the audience, it would be a different matter. Wu Shigong hurriedly stepped forward and comforted him: "My body is fine, don't cry, don't cry."
But Xiuzhu still cried and tears flowed endlessly, and Wu Shigong was helpless. The girl had so many tears. Suddenly, she had an idea and said to Xiuzhu with a smile: "I just learned a song, and I will sing it to you." Then, regardless of Xiuzhu, she sang at the side, and said with a loud voice: "Buffalo (girl), Buffalo (girl), first come out and then come out..." The lyrics were strange, and the tone of singing was even stranger.
"Puchi." Xiuzhu was so funny that she burst into tears and laughed. "Young master will make trouble." Xiuzhu's mood gradually calmed down. He went into the bedroom to bring Wu Shigong a coat and put it on. Then he opened the food box and took out a bowl of white rice porridge, a plate of buns and a pair of chopsticks. Wu Shigong was indeed hungry, so he sat down and chewed heavily.
Xiu Zhu also sat down opposite him, holding her head with her hands, and complained: "The chef Wang in the kitchen gave her a bowl of white rice porridge. The young master was injured. When I saw that there was still stewed tremella soup on the stove, I wanted her to ask her to suffocate a bowl."
"It's okay. White rice porridge is good." Wu Shigong replied vaguely and indifferently, as he chewed the bun. Anyway, he was used to being bullied at home. This is not the first time, and probably not the last time, so it is not worth getting angry.
"Young Master, I want to ask you something."
Wu Shigong raised his head, looked at Xiuzhu and waited for Xiuzhu and continued.
"I know Shumo did something wrong, but he has been fined twenty whips. I heard that after he healed, he would be sent to the farm to farm. I beg the young master to ask the marquis to ask Shumo to follow you. Shumo himself knew that he was wrong. You know, Shumo is my cousin. Last night, my parents and aunt bothered me all night."
"No problem." Wu Shigong answered very simply. Shumo was his personal servant and servant. During the fight that day, Wu Shigong was beaten by others, and he ran home unscathed and deserved punishment. However, Wu Shigong thought it was understandable that he was beaten and ran away when he was a small person. Wu Shigong had done this many things when he was a gangster, so he thought it was not a big deal. But he didn't know that at that time, when the master was in danger, the slave ran away on his back and fled. This was simply a "high-voltage line" in the code of conduct of the slave. It was not an exaggeration for any slave to do such a behavior by the master. Shumo was only whipped twenty whips and was punished to farm. This was already the pure and honest family of the Wu family.
Xiuzhu heard Wu Shigong agreeing to her and laughed happily. Seeing that Wu Shigong had finished eating, she quickly put the empty bowl and plate into the food box, picked up the food box and told Wu Shigong, "Young master is in a good shape, so let's lie on the bed for a while."
Wu Shigong nodded, and saw Xiuzhu jumping out of the house with a food box, and turned around and entered the bedroom. He was also impatient to take off his coat, so he hung a cloth tent and lie on the bed.
The excitement when he first traveled through time was over, and Wu Shigong continued to think about what ways to cheat after traveling through time. The way to refer to history just now was not good. Since this road was not open, let's change another way. "You have many roads!" Wu Shigong couldn't help but think smugly.
Then let’s make a fortune by inventing and creating! Be an Edison of the Ming Dynasty. Which invention should I do? Wu Shigong was not a skilled person in his previous life, and his cultural level was quite low. He had not graduated from junior high school. Think about it, think about it. By the way, let’s do the four famous inventions in China: papermaking, movable type printing, compass, and gunpowder. Thanks to Wu Shigong still remembers it. "Good memory means a future!" Wu Shigong was proud of himself for the second time.
But as soon as he finished his majesty, Wu Shigong saw the books on the bedside table. It seems that papermaking and movable type printing should not be thought about. Then just compass. But... listen, listen, pointer--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Xiuzhu walked in at this time. Seeing Wu Shigong thinking in a daze, he gently moved the bench and sat next to his bed, holding the embroidery pattern and watching up and down. Wu Shigong didn't notice Xiuzhu coming in, and was still lying down to dream of making money. But the time for dreaming is always short. Wu Shigong suddenly heard the vague sound of "ping-pong" in the distance. Wu Shigong was stunned. The voice was so familiar that he would listen to it once a year during the Chinese New Year. He jumped up from the bed and shouted, "What's going on outside?"
Xiuzhu was also scared by his shouting and jumped up from the bench. Her little face turned pale and she replied tremblingly, "I'm setting off firecrackers."
Nonsense, don’t I know how to set off firecrackers? Wu Shigong continued, “I’m asking why the firecrackers ring?”
"Because there is gunpowder inside." Xiuzhu's answer was not loud, and he spoke intermittently, for fear that his answer would be unsatisfied. It turned out that the little maid in the deep house of the Ming Dynasty knew about gunpowder! Wu Shigong stared at Xiuzhu, and Xiuzhu also stared at him. The two of them stared at each other for a while. Wu Shigong suddenly screamed at the sky, and fell heavily on the bed, and his thick body pressed against the bed.
I was so excited today that Xiuzhu's little heart could no longer bear it. She stretched out her small fist and hit Wu Shigong in anger. After a few hits, she found that the young master's body was strong and her little hands were a little painful. She pouted her mouth and still sat back on the bench.
So they no longer dream of taking advantage of tricks. They were also bored. One of them lay on the bed and the other sat on the bench beside the bed and started chatting. Wu Shigong suddenly thought of the noisy thing just now, so he asked Xiuzhu: "What are you quarreling outside the door just now? Did they bully you again?"
Unexpectedly, Xiu Zhu was very angry when she saw what happened just now. She put the embroidery pattern on the bed and started chattering. It turned out that the middle-aged woman who led the lead was Brother Wu Shigong, the nanny of the wife of Gongshun Houzi and the dowry eldest nanny. She was one of the future managers of the Gongshun Hou Mansion. What a terrifying identity! Upon hearing this introduction, Wu Shigong whistled.
The eldest grandma had a heart disease, which was the marriage of her third son. Her third son was a pockmark and a lame man. She probably had smallpox and polio since she was a child. But he survived tenaciously and became disabled. Therefore, it was difficult to find a marriage partner. But the third son had a high vision. After his mother came to the Gongshun Hou Mansion, she was moved when she saw Xiuzhu. So she told his mother what she thought.
The eldest nanny knew her son's idea, and there was no way to do so. Because, no matter how Wu Shigong was, he would be the master. The maid in his room would basically become Wu Shigong's wife, and if she was favored and had a child, she would even be carried as a concubine. But unexpectedly, Wu Shigong became a wife and basically had no chance to marry a concubine in the future. Therefore, the eldest nanny was scrupulous again. She begged the prince's wife for this matter, and the prince's wife agreed.
So the eldest nanny thought that the marriage was a foregone conclusion, and today she brought her aunts and sisters to look for her daughter-in-law. But Xiuzhu was not happy when she heard about the marriage. In addition, the eldest nanny might have to set rules for her future daughter-in-law first, so she was also tough, so the two sides had a dispute.
Finally, Xiuzhu waved her fist angrily, "I just won't marry." Then she immediately changed Fu Kelianxiang and begged Wu Shigong, "Young Master, you have to help me!"
"Young Master, I absolutely support you!" Wu Shigong also waved his fists like Xiuzhu, "It would be too much if it's Mazi and Crip. If it's just Mazi, it's almost the same."
"Hmm?" Xiu Zhu widened her eyes and suddenly didn't react.
"I said it wrong. If it was just a cripple, it would be almost the same." Wu Shigong continued to tease Xiuzhu.
Now Xiuzhu understood. After the young master woke up today, he was so angry that Xiuzhu hurt his hands and had to hit the young master a few more times. Xiuzhu beat Wu Shigong and Wu Shigong laughed and dodged left and right on the bed. While Xiuzhu was not paying attention, he grabbed Xiuzhu's wrist and pulled her into the bed, and took the opportunity to eat Xiuzhu's tofu. The two of them started to play on the bed.
While playing, Wu Shigong thought: "Life is really good when you tease the little maid every day. If you continue, one day, I will be promoted to level 10 and become a bully who teases the little girl and the little wife on the street. Life is so beautiful!"
"Cough cough" A cough suddenly came from the door. The two stopped fighting and looked at the door. It was Wu Shigong's father Wu Weizhong and his elder brother Wu Shixun. Wu Weizhong looked at the two of them with very unpleasant expressions.
Xiongzhu suddenly rushed out of the bed like a frightened little rabbit, shrank to the corner of the house, lowered her head and greeted him in a voice that was not as big as a mosquito: "Marty, Prince."
Wu Shigong also got up from the bed, bent over and saluted, "Mr. Marquis, brother."
