In the middle of the night, when Xiaohuan returned to the house, she felt that she was sick.
She didn't know what was going on, but she felt numb all over. Not only that, she also felt uncomfortable all over.
Like three or five cats, scratching and scratching her heart.
"Forget it! Forget it quickly." Xiaohuan closed her eyes and whispered to herself.
However, the scenes she saw appeared again and again. Even if she closed her eyes, those scenes appeared more frequently.
"I want to sleep, sleep."
Xiao Huan hugged the quilt and tossed and turned, but he didn't know how long it took before he fell asleep.
Early the next morning, Xiaoyue and Xiaohuan got up to help Mrs. Lin wash, change clothes and comb her hair.
Mrs. Lin looked very good, her whole body was moisturized, her face was radiant, her eyes were bright, and the corners of her mouth were slightly raised with a slight smile.
She touched her belly with one hand, thinking about what her husband said last night.
Somehow, she was convinced of this.
"If you bring me a child, thank God. Today I will go to the Zen room to pray and ask Guanyin to give me a son." Mrs. Lin thought in her heart, and suddenly her hair hurt.
Mrs. Lin turned her head and saw that Xiao Huan was in a trance.
"Did you not sleep well last night? Your eyes are dark." Mrs. Lin asked softly, not harshly, "I will go back to the cage and sleep for a while."
Xiaohuan nodded repeatedly and said: "Thank you madam, I slept well. I guess it's because I didn't sleep well in the past few days."
How dare she say that she didn't sleep at all in the middle of the night.
If you say that, there really is no three hundred taels of silver here.
"After we had breakfast, we went to the Hua family and asked the young lady of the Hua family to go boating together." Mrs. Lin thought for a while, her husband was busy with affairs, and there were some things that she didn't have time to take care of.
She is the mistress of the family, so naturally she has to come forward to discuss the matter of taking concubines.
As for the two widows, she was not in a hurry. She always thought that the widows were unlucky. This was also Mrs. Lin's worry and had always been on her mind.
The two maids naturally agreed and worked for a while before Xiaohuan and Xiaoyue went out.
Not long after she left the house, Xiaoyue said: "Madam is really beautiful, dignified and quiet. She is worthy of being a mistress. If I am one-tenth as dignified as Madam, I will be satisfied."
But for some reason, as soon as Xiaohuan heard the word dignified, a picture of the scene last night flashed through his mind.
Like resentment, admiration, weeping, complaining.
At that moment, Madam was in great contrast.
The gracefulness last night and the dignity today are like two sides of the same person.
But they are all one person!
"Perhaps Madam would only act like that in front of the Master." Xiaohuan's face was red, and there was an inexplicable excitement on her face.
Xiaoyue on the side frowned in confusion: "Xiaohuan, I always feel that there is something different about you."
"What's different?" Xiaohuan was startled, fearing that Xiaoyue would see it.
"I always think you are lustful." Xiaoyue chuckled.
"Begging for a beating!"
"Stop fighting, stop fighting, prepare breakfast, I'm going out soon." Xiaoyue hurriedly called Rao and said smoothly, "What should we do if the young lady from the Hua family comes in?"
When Xiaohuan heard this, he sighed heavily and suddenly became irritable: "I still miss the time when I first went up the mountain."
When Xiaoyue heard this, she was convinced: "At that time, although we were young and of low status, we were able to take care of the master every day. My mistress did not go up the mountain, and no one went up the mountain. The master was just like us."
"People can't be too greedy. Madam has been very good to us. We used to be just maids who served the master. Don't have any wrong thoughts. It's just..." Xiaohuan said with some annoyance, "I used to feel that I was young and quite...
Okay. Until she met the master, she was always worried that we were too young.
If the two of us are older, we can at least share the same room with the master, and we can be big girls.
In this courtyard, status is also very different. What about now? Neither advancing nor retreating, neither left nor right, very embarrassing."
Xiaoyue smiled and said: "It turns out to be Sichun."
"Tear your mouth apart." Xiaohuan pulled Xiaoyue and said, "You don't have to worry. I only ask you, with the master's current reputation, more and more women will stick to him in the future.
If we don't sleep with the master, if one day the master dislikes us and the wife doesn't care about us, where will we go?"
The power of this sentence was so great that it made Xiaoyue very nervous at once: "The little lady of the Hua family has a brother behind her, who is a powerful general. We have nothing but rely on the master and his wife. Xiaohuan,
You're right. So what should we do?"
"Oh! Just wait until you grow up, listen to your wife, and follow your arrangements." Xiaohuan was fine if he didn't say anything. As he talked, he was like a frustrated ball.
Xiaoyue was impatient and immediately said: "When the master comes back in the evening, I will look for him."
"Are you crazy? Don't do things randomly." Xiaohuan cursed.
The two women discussed it for a while, but in the end they came to no result.
.......
The machine shop, in a workshop.
There is a big stone placed in the middle of the yard, and there are many drawings placed on the stone.
Lin Chong is sitting at the top. Today he is wearing a navy blue corset and his long hair is neatly combed.
He had a white jade belt tied around his waist, a knife on his shoulder, and his eyes were fixed on the table.
On both sides of the table, stood Zhu Gui and Huang An.
"Wonderful! Wonderful! Wonderful! There is such a thing. If we build it according to the blueprint structure and then attack the city, it will be the best weapon in the world!" Huang An was so happy to see that he was hunting, and he went back and forth excitedly.
Rub your hands together.
Zhu Gui, as the chief steward, stared and said: "The chief steward is really a man of heaven! This thing is more terrifying to attack the city than any other siege equipment at the moment. It's just that for the construction of this thing, loyal and righteous people must be selected.
.If it leaks out, it will be a disaster."
Lin Chong said: "Only the three of us know the blueprints. We will keep them secret during the future construction. There are several components in them that are the core. This thing can only be known to a very small number of people. After all, just the blueprints are not necessarily
It can be made."
"What the boss said makes sense." Zhu Gui nodded.
"Use troops against Yuncheng first!" Lin Chong said in a deep voice, "This city is the closest to us. If we capture this place first, we can expand outward and rely on the Liangshan River forever. What other big things can we do?"
"Really want to use troops against Yuncheng?" Zhu Gui couldn't help but ask, "It's easy to attack the city, but difficult to defend it. In the past, we were bandits, and the court didn't care about us. Once we capture the city and occupy the city, the court will definitely not
Will tolerate us."
How could Lin Chong not understand this truth, but time waits for no one.
Land and population are the key.
As for fighting, if the army really comes to suppress them, they will just run to the other side's territory.
"Return to the artillery and forge it earlier. We will definitely use troops against Qingzhou in the future! Qingzhou City is easy to defend but difficult to attack. Without this thing, it will be extremely difficult to conquer." Lin Chong said in a deep voice.
At this moment, a guard came forward and reported: "Master, Qin Ming is waiting at Juyi Hall."
"Okay! I'll go see him!" Lin Chong stood up.
Zhu Gui and Huang An clasped their fists: "Master, walk slowly."
"Army is a heavy task, let's work together!" After Lin Chong said this, he left without looking back.
