As soon as the sun rises, it's a joyful time, and the world is busy with production. Some people are practicing martial arts and blacksmithing, and some are blasting firecrackers.
The above is the story of King Jing who came to Wushiguan and saw the bustling production scene in Wushiguan. He composed an impromptu poem and decided to take it back to Qiaoqiao to show off.
The view of entering the world is quite similar to that of Yan's Mansion. People are welcomed in the front yard, but visitors are not allowed in the back yard. But this is only for other people, King Jing is naturally a different matter.
Jiajing is the major shareholder of Wushiguan, and King Jing is at least the potential heir. Those internal guards will of course turn a blind eye. The temporary second temple leader, Lao Guai, and the children who practice martial arts are also familiar with King Jing, so naturally they will not stop him.
.
King Jing visited all the way, watching the Taoist pyrotechnics testing muskets for a while, and then watching the blacksmith making steel knives, and finally walked into Zeng Zaoban's studio.
Zeng Zaoban didn't come to work. Only a few little beans who felt that martial arts training was hard came to volunteer to be Zeng Zaoban's apprentices and were studying how to make things.
Xiao Feng's management of the world view is quite democratic. Children are not necessarily required to learn martial arts. Those who are not interested in learning martial arts can also learn blacksmithing, gunpowder and elixir making, and craftsmanship. In short, they cannot just play stupidly.
"Hey? Why isn't your master here? What are you doing?"
A little bean raised the thing in his hand: "I am making an iron shell. The viewer said that putting gunpowder in the iron shell will have less space than putting it in the gun chamber, and the iron egg will be more powerful when shot out! Fire
The workers are testing it."
Another little Douzi had a worried look on his face: "I heard from Uncle Guai that Master was drunk on his way home last night, was hit by someone, fell into a ditch and sprained his foot. He may not be able to come to Guanli for a few days.
"
King Jing frowned and sighed softly. He looked around and said, "I heard that your master has a bow that can cut iron like clay. Have you seen it?"
Several little Douzi nodded together: "I've seen it before, Master has used it twice. But Master never let us touch it.
He said it was too dangerous and he would cut off his finger if he was not careful! He usually put it in a box and put it in his cabinet.
If we steal it, he can find it! It's true, I got beaten for it last time!"
King Jing nodded casually, looked at this, touched that, and left after a while.
King Jing met Xiaodong carrying a wooden knife at the entrance of the World Viewpoint, and stared at him coldly, making him feel uncomfortable all over.
I don’t know why, but whenever Xiaodong sees the person named Zhu, she always has this look in her eyes. Jiajing has been there several times before, but the old master didn’t dare to let her raise her head.
At this time, King Yu also walked into the mountain gate. Xiaodong's eyes when looking at King Yu were much gentler than before, at least not so cold. King Jing was very unhappy.
"Xiaodong, do I owe you money? Why do you act like this every time I come here? If you just treat everyone equally, why don't you glare at him?"
King Yu shook the box in his hand proudly: "The elixir that Tao Zhongwen just made may be able to stimulate Lao Dao to wake up. I have given Lao Tao some medicine several times. Is it strange that Xiaodong is polite to me?"
King Jing angrily said: "You have been cheating since childhood to please others! You are like this in front of your father, you are like this in front of Qiaoqiao, and you are still like this in front of master!"
King Yu's face darkened: "You are not allowed to mention Qiaoqiao, otherwise I will beat you!"
King Jing shouted: "Me too
!" He pounced forward, and halfway through the pounce, he suddenly remembered something. He stopped the car, glared at King Yu fiercely, turned around and left.
King Yu, who was ready for battle, was surprised. The two of them had been fighting for so many years, and it was always hard to tell who was better, but neither of them had flinched. What happened to King Jing today?
Regardless, King Yu took the box and came to Lao Dao's house with Xiaodong. The wound on Lao Dao's neck had healed, leaving a deep scar.
She looked good, her face was rosy, her face and hair were washed clean, and she was lying on the bamboo mat, just like taking a nap in the afternoon.
Xiaodong looked at Lao Dao sadly, reached out to touch Lao Dao's face, and turned to ask King Yu.
"What pill is this time?"
King Yu opened the box carefully, revealing a brown pill, and said solemnly: "Tiansan pill!"
Xiaodong frowned. She had grown very fast in the past two years. Although she was still chubby, she had grown a lot in stature, and there was a vague look of an older child between her eyebrows.
"The hot pill you brought last time made the dean's lips swollen from the heat! There shouldn't be any problems this time, right?"
Although Lao Dao and his children are no longer in the Shantang, Lao Dao's official unit is the Shituan Guan, and his position is the Second Guanzhu, but Xiaodong and the children still refuse to change their words and keep calling him the dean.
King Yu shook his head repeatedly: "No, no, Tao Zhongwen said that Master's chili seeds were used in the last elixir, which was indeed more powerful. This
This time, Tiansuandan uses vinegar ice from Shanxi mature vinegar as its base, and is paired with red fruits, green apricots, sour plums and other ingredients. Even if it does not wake up the old master, there is no harm in it.
Tao Zhongwen said that the old Taoist lay down all day long and could not move.
, even if you eat meat porridge, it is not easy to digest. There is no harm in eating something sour."
King Yu picked up the Tian Sour Pill and added it curiously, then his whole face wrinkled. Xiaodong frowned, took the Tian Sour Pill, and licked the other side, almost drooling.
The two of them helped the old Tao up a little, and put the Tian Sour Pill into his mouth. The old Tao's face remained calm as usual, and the two shook their heads in disappointment.
After the elixir was gone, the two of them laid Lao Dao down on his back. Xiaodong wiped the drool from the corner of Lao Dao's mouth with a handkerchief, and they walked away together with their heads hanging down.
"Xiaodong, don't be disappointed. Tao Zhongwen promised me that he is studying Tian Ku Dan. We will try it again then. There will be Tian Shou Dan and Tian Xian Dan..."
The sun was shining warmly on Lao Dao's face. In addition to the drool flowing from the corners of his mouth, Lao Dao actually also shed two lines of sad tears from the corners of his eyes.
When Yan Shifan handed the box to Ruyu, he stared at her face closely. The box was locked with a Luban lock, but under Ruyu's nimble fingers, it opened with only a few clicks.
Ruyu carefully picked up the bow handle made of fine steel inside, and looked at the almost invisible filaments wrapped around the bow, her eyes shining with excitement.
He was a skilled craftsman, and he could never pretend to be happy when he saw a handy tool! Yan Shifan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Beauty, with this, how fast can we do it? We have to return it as soon as possible without being discovered!"
Ruyu smiled sweetly, picked up the bow, and gently cut a piece of copper sheet. The copper sheet formed into a shape like soft clay. Then she rolled it up with her hands and hooped it with the cut thin copper sheets. A cylinder was completed.
Got it
.
Then Ruyu picked up a piece of crystal and rubbed it gently with a bow. The crystal fragments were scattered on the ground like flour, and the whole crystal slowly deformed at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Yan Shifan was overjoyed and took a step forward, but after looking at the small bow in Ruyu's hand, he still stopped.
"Beauty, just do it well. If you need anything, just tell me. Just do as much as you can, the more, the better! Hahahahaha!"
Yan Shifan returned to the front hall, found the Rouge sisters, and told them that Bang Lai had done a good job. He checked to see if the injury was enough for him to lie down for ten or eight days.
If this guy is too ambitious and wants to go to work in two or three days, then find a way to do it again and let him continue to lie at home.
As long as he doesn't think about the world, no one will find out about the theft of the little bow. It won't be too late for him to stand up again whenever he can send it back!
But we must also pay attention to the scale and never endanger our lives. After all, we will have to rely on Zeng Zaobao to take the blame in the future. It is absolutely not okay to die early.
Then Yan Shifan went out and went to Prince Jing's Mansion. In fact, he had already been there once today and got a small bow. But he felt that Prince Jing's mood was a little wrong, so he needed to encourage him more.
As a master, Yan Shifan would not attract attention when he went to Prince Jing's Mansion, but it would not be good if Prince Jing went to Yan's Mansion too many times. This is what Yan Shifan told Prince Jing.
King Jing's mentality was really conflicted at this time. Although Yan Shifan told King Jing that he borrowed the small bow to help him make good things and let him outdo King Yu in the court, he was always uneasy in his heart.
Yan Shifan said that Xiao Feng was biased towards King Yu, and
It makes sense. The two of them knew each other earlier and helped each other, but he was the one who got in last.
Therefore, it would be good for him to properly curb Xiao Feng's momentum. Having said that, King Jing still felt bad. He really didn't feel that Xiao Feng treated him and King Yu differently.
Yan Shifan arrived just at this time. When he saw King Jing's tense face, he knew that the child's thoughts were recurring and he quickly brainwashed him again.
"Your Highness, even if Xiao Fengshang can remain neutral, Prince Yu has been cunning and cunning since he was a child, and he is not as honest and loyal as Your Highness.
King Yu can win the favor of Xiao Feng even more, and he can win the favor of Long Live even more. If he becomes the emperor in the future, not only will he take away everything from you, but he may even lose his life!"
King Jing thought about what he had experienced today at the Shishi Temple, and couldn't help but nodded silently, acknowledging Yan Shifan's words.
Yan Shifan once again spoke a great truth. In a word, I am the only one in the court who is most loyal to His Highness! As long as Your Highness believes in me, I will definitely be able to help His Highness become the emperor!
King Jing said hesitantly: "I know that you and Xiao Feng have deep conflicts. If I become the emperor and ask you two to put an end to their past feud, is it possible for you to do it?"
Yan Shifan smiled and said: "Who dares to disobey the emperor's words? The ministers will naturally obey his orders. Even Xiao Feng will never dare to openly disobey!"
King Jing nodded, and his brows relaxed a lot. Yan Shifan sneered secretly in his heart, and in order to deepen his relationship, he had dinner with King Jing again. Then he respectfully bid farewell to King Jing, and went home happily.
After Yan Zhan left Yan Shifan, he had been guarding the door of the backyard, not allowing anyone the opportunity to enter or exit. Yan Shifan did not
When she was in the palace, the maid who liked to be beaten would not always stay in the central hall, but would sometimes go back to Yan Shifan's bedroom to rest.
Yan Zhan's eyes involuntarily glanced at the hut where the sound came from, and he licked his lips. He had already seen the difference in Ruyu. For a pirate like him who was not taboo about meat and vegetables, Ruyu was more attractive than ordinary beauties.
However, he also knew that Ruyu was Yan Shifan's forbidden love, and he could never get involved with it. Normally, he didn't even have the chance to enter the backyard, but now it was good to be able to enjoy it.
Then he found Ruyu waving to him, gesturing with something in her hand, as if she needed his help with something.
Yan Zhan did not dare to neglect, Yan Shifan had warned him that in the past few days, he must meet all Ruyu's requirements, even if it is the moon in the sky, he must find a way to pick it off!
Yan Zhan hurried over and stood at the door, looking greedily at Ruyu up and down with a smile on his face.
"Miss Ruyu, what do you need my help for?"
Ruyu sat back at the table: "These copper sheets are too hard. My crystal-grinding hands are sore and I can't roll them anymore. Seeing how tall you are, roll them up for me."
Yan Zhan was overjoyed and hurriedly entered the room, sat across from Ruyu, and helped Ruyu roll up the copper pipe. The copper piece was actually not very hard, so Yan Zhan deliberately rolled up his sleeves to show off his thick arms, because he felt that Ruyu
Also looking at him.
Sure enough, Ruyu said quietly: "A man like you must have gone through many storms and seen many things in the world.
I have been locked up at home by my parents and master since I was a child, and later I was locked up in the house by the master. I have never seen anything. I really envy you."
Yan Zhan is looked at by the beautiful eyes like jade
His throat was dry and his whole body was hot. Although he didn't dare to make mistakes, it was still very satisfying to play this kind of sideline game.
So Yan Zhan began to brag to Ruyu, bragging about how he killed people without blinking an eye, bragging about how he was respected by others, and finally emphatically bragging about his bravery in the eight women at night.
Ruyu's face was slightly red, she covered her mouth with her sleeves, and laughed softly. This laughter made Yan Zhan even more like a man possessed. He really wanted to pounce on her and have a good time, even if it was worth running away to the end of the world.
Fortunately, he didn't take any medicine, and his reason was always slightly stronger than his desire. He still cherished his well-established job, not to mention Yan Shifan's ruthlessness also made him worried.
Just as Yan Zhan was breathing heavily and getting angry with the copper piece in his hand, Yan Shifan walked into the backyard. He frowned and walked to the door of the cabin.
"Yan Zhan, what are you doing?"
Yan Zhan quickly stood up: "It's Miss Ruyu who asked me to help her roll copper sheets. My Lord said that I must satisfy Miss Ruyu's request..."
Yan Shifan nodded and looked at the rolled cylinder on the table, but there was something wrong with Ruyu's expression: "What's wrong with you?"
Ruyu said calmly: "I have been working for about a day and I am tired. I will just rest for a while."
Yan Shifan glanced at the two of them, and Yan Zhan withdrew knowingly. Yan Shifan said softly: "Take a rest when you are tired, but you still have to do it as soon as possible."
Ruyu didn't know what she was thinking, so she just nodded lightly. Yan Shifan didn't dare to push her too hard. Besides, when he saw that several crystals had been polished on the table, he really worked hard, so he comforted her and left.
That night, Yan Shifan was having an affair with the maid in the bedroom.
Suddenly, someone knocked on the door.
Yan Shifan asked breathlessly: "Who doesn't want to live?"
Rouge Leopard's anxious voice came from outside the door: "Sir, Miss Ruyu just called someone in the house, saying that there is something urgent, please come over!"
Huh? Could it be that she encountered some difficulties at work? Ruyu would never take the initiative to find Yan Shifan at night. She didn't even know the other people in the backyard.
I guess she shouted in the room, and the Rouge sisters, who were closest and had the best kung fu, were naturally the first to hear it. Yan Shifan also asked the sisters to pay attention to Ruyu's actions in the past few days, so he came to report.
At this time, Ruyu's priority was naturally ahead of the maid. Yan Shifan reluctantly raised his gun, put on his clothes and walked out.
Seeing the enchanting figure of Rouge Leopard walking in front, the twisting waist and buttocks made the aroused Yan Shifan even harder.
But he had no time to do that at the moment. He was only thinking about whether Ruyu was sick. If that was the case, it would be really not good. The construction schedule was too tight.
But when he opened the door, the strong fire in his heart was completely extinguished like a bucket of cold water in his pocket.
Ruyu stood beside the bed, surrounded by finished and unfinished telescopes. There were several more on the ground, which were obviously broken and flattened.
When Rouge Leopard saw the maid coming out of the hall with her clothes on, she had already slipped back into her room. She was just a messenger and there was no need to intervene in such a scene. Because Yan Shifan had a bad habit of expressing his anger when something bad happened.
To people!
Yan Shifan took a step forward: "Ruyu, what's wrong with you? Are you too tired? Take a rest when you're tired. Why are you so angry?"
Under the candlelight, Ruyu's face was horribly pale
, she picked up a prepared telescope on the bed, looked at it, laughed miserably, and smashed it to the ground!
Yan Shifan was furious, but he immediately controlled himself. He wanted to find out what happened. There was a coldness in his soft tone.
"Ruyu, don't go crazy. Even if you don't cherish yourself, you have to think about your master! Do you want him to die?"
Ruyu picked up a telescope again, with a pair of beautiful eyes on her pale face blazing with anger and a sad smile.
"My master? Yan Zhan told me everything. What I am doing now is my master's reminder!
The day I finish all these is the day my master dies! Yan Shifan! You devil!"
