A heavy rain had just stopped and the sky had cleared up a little. The half-covered moon hung in the sky, casting a hazy light like a mist like blue smoke.
"Master, why are you back so late? I'll heat up some food for you." The woman was busy taking off her raincoat for the man, shaking off the water drops.
"Zhao Laogui received a reward from His Highness, and also got a raise in wages, just because he made useless things that can't be used for anything." Zhang Dashun sat down and muttered as if he was jealous or dissatisfied: "
Thirty taels of silver, how can you give him an advantage?"
"Thirty taels, enough to marry the boy from Zhao Laogui's family." The woman clicked her tongue enviously, but seeing that the man was unhappy, she comforted her: "Don't take this matter to your heart, everyone.
We live the lives of other people, and we don’t get any rewards, so we live quite well. When we get to Annan, it will be even better."
Zhang Dashun shook his head, sighed, and said: "No, the money is just there. It would be useless if you don't fight for it. Zhao Laogui only got thirty taels, didn't he still have fifty taels, one hundred taels?"
A reward of two. I figured out some tricks for the self-propelled fire gun. The key is the reed, which must not bend or bend, and must have sufficient elasticity. It must be made of high-quality steel."
"I'll go and heat some food for you." The woman didn't understand this, so after hearing a few words, she went to get some food.
"More tempering, no, too much hammering is not good." Zhang Dashun frowned, thinking to himself, "Quenching? Annealing? It's better to try more. Now it's all temporary, I'm afraid it won't be easy.
When it stabilizes, I have to get it out no matter what. One hundred taels, I may not be able to save so much in my life..."
……………
It was just a reward of one or two hundred taels of silver. Zhu Yongxing would not have thought that it would have such a big effect. Different identities, different environments, how many things can be bought with one hundred taels of silver, and what does it mean to the common people? Zhu Yongxing is not special.
clear.
For example, the pair of gemstone earrings in front of him, he only knew they looked good, but he didn't know how much they were worth.
"Is it from Long'er again?" Zhu Yongxing reached out and touched the earrings, then gently twisted Mengzhu's round earlobe, and said with a wry smile: "It's easy to eat someone else's mouth, and it's easy to take advantage of someone else's hands. She gave you this, and she gave you that.
, I’m afraid it’s hard to return this favor!”
"If I want to pay it back, then it is His Highness who will pay it back for me." Mengzhu chuckled softly, moving her eyes flexibly, and said: "I know what the Long family is thinking, but they just want to use their daughter to curry favor with His Highness. It's just His Highness's side.
He didn't seem to care, so he just focused on me."
"You know?" Zhu Yongxing couldn't help being stunned and asked strangely: "Then you are so close to her?"
Mengzhu grabbed Zhu Yongxing's hand, gently rubbed it on his face, and said softly: "Your Highness has a distinguished status and a bright future. How can there be only one Ah Zhu around here? Both father and the great witch have taught that Ah Zhu should not be kind.
If you are jealous, you must not disobey His Highness. Otherwise, there will inevitably be a rift between you and Your Highness, which will not last long."
Zhu Yongxing slowly frowned, and it sounded awkward. If this was what Mengzhu was saying, it would be understandable, but if it was against his will, the two of them would not be so harmonious and happy together.
"Moreover -" Mengzhu paused for a moment and continued: "His Royal Highness is a Han, and this concubine will eventually be a Han woman. A-Zhu is from a foreign race, and he is favored by His Highness. If he can have a title, he will be satisfied.
Already."
"Why do you have such thoughts? You are just thinking wildly, aren't you happy?" Zhu Yongxing held Mengzhu in his arms, feeling very distressed that such a simple and kind little girl still had so many worries hidden.
Mengzhu snuggled obediently to Zhu Yongxing's chest, lowered her head, drew circles on Zhu Yongxing's chest with her fingers, and whispered: "It was said by the great witch. Your Highness, who has high hopes from China and abroad, must have great achievements. His subordinates
Most of the civil servants and generals are Han Chinese, so they will not let a barbarian woman take the position of concubine, nor will His Highness's heir be of foreign blood."
"If you can't even make the decision in your own affairs, what great achievements can you make?" Zhu Yongxing knew that Mengzhu's words were very reasonable. If he could really turn things around and his prestige reached a peak, the question of the concubine and the heir would be inevitable.
He would be taken extremely seriously by his subordinate Wen Wu, but the stubbornness from the bottom of his heart refused to let him admit it in front of Mengzhu. He hugged the woman in his arms tighter and said with certainty: "You are the princess. Next year, you
Didn’t I say that I’ll be seventeen next year, so let’s get married and decide a name, and see who dares to make a fuss?”
A hint of surprise flashed in Mengzhu's eyes. She lowered her head and rolled her eyes. She pouted her lips slightly and said tentatively: "But Ah Zhu's feet are too big. I heard that all high-ranking official women have three-inch golden lotuses!"
Well, binding your feet is painful, right?"
"Three-inch golden lotus? That's a deformity. I hate it the most." Zhu Yongxing rolled his eyes and said: "It makes good people unable to run fast and work hard, and there are still literati who play with their disabled feet and recite poems and praise them.
, it’s really—perverted.”
Mengzhu pursed her lips and smiled sweetly, secretly raised her feet and glanced proudly.
"Besides, your feet are too big, aren't they just right!" Zhu Yongxing reached out and picked up Mengzhu's knees, raised the girl's feet, took off her shoes and socks.
"Your Highness—" Mengzhu called out coquettishly, then buried her head shyly like an ostrich.
The crystal jade feet are like clean white lotuses, and the five well-proportioned and tender white toes curl up and twist shyly. The carefully trimmed toenails are also coated with a thin layer of purple-blue paint, as if they are glued on.
Violet petals. The soles of the feet are very thin, the arches are beautiful, and the round ankles make people imagine.
Zhu Yongxing was silent and just admired the beautiful feet intoxicatedly! The big toe was plump and well-proportioned, the other four toes were gradually shorter, the little toe was like a grape, and the cherry red heel was like a ripe apple, but also soft.
It is smooth and smooth, forming an indescribable arc when viewed from the side. The exposed calf is as white as a jade lotus root, slender and strong, and the smooth skin gives off a charming luster.
I'm not a foot fetishist, but these little feet are really beautiful. It should be said that A-Zhu's body is all beautiful, although I haven't appreciated them all yet. Zhu Yongxing pinched, caressed, squeaked, and occasionally touched the girl's feet
The beautiful soles of the feet, listening to A-Zhu's laughter like silver bells, leaned closer to him, and the five beautiful toes were like little bird heads arranged together, as if they knew that the owner was being treated lightly and suddenly opened the toes.
Tighten it up and dig into the soles of your feet.
"Will you really be seventeen next year?" Zhu Yongxing suddenly approached Mengzhu's face with a half-smile, and asked mischievously.
"Really, really seventeen." Mengzhu answered slightly hesitantly, but still quite sure.
"Then I need to check to avoid being deceived by you." Zhu Yongxing smiled with his teeth exposed, like a big bad wolf.
"Check, how to check?" Mengzhu was still a little confused and couldn't help but raise her head and ask.
"Check your body, be careful -" Zhu Yongxing finally showed his bad Shu Shu appearance and stretched out his evil claws.
Before Mengzhu could react, there was an untimely knock on the door and an announcement from outside. Zhu Yongxing glared at the door hatefully, then suddenly held Mengzhu's face, kissed her warm little mouth, and lost it.
He said "Don't run around, wait until I come back to check" before getting up and leaving with a smile.
