Chapter 13: Pocket Watches

The young man's face turned red when he heard Zhou Mufeng's words, and he was a little embarrassed. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info but he thought of something, and finally pulled down his face and asked:

"Seeing that the girl is familiar with the imported product just now, she must have some ability. ”

As he spoke, he took out a pocket watch from his arms that was the same as the one Zhou Muqing had just bought. It's just that this one is golden, and it's even more luxurious, and the lid of the pocket watch is inlaid with red gems.

This pocket watch belonged to a friend, and he was also curious, so he borrowed it and played with it for a few days. I didn't want to be at home, but I forgot my friend's instructions, and when I rewound the clockwork, the time was not accurate! I wanted to take it to the shop that sold imported goods to repair it. happened to meet Zhou Muqing and his party, and saw that Zhou Muqing seemed to be very familiar with the pocket watch. I want to ask them to do a favor and take a look, it's better than being slaughtered by the shopkeeper!

Looking at young people is indeed asking for something. Zhou Muqing still knows a little about pocket watches in this era. It's supposed to be the clockwork kind, and it doesn't hurt to do a favor.

Zhou Muqing promised to help take a look, and everyone retreated to the store.

He took the pocket watch from the young man's hand and looked at it carefully. I looked at my pocket watch again, the time on it, and twisted the clockwork to adjust the hands!

After Zhou Muqing handed the pocket watch to the young man for a while, everyone came back to their senses! This little thing has such a miraculous thing.

The young man was complimented again: "Liu Xianglian thanked the girl for her help this time," paused and continued, "I just passed by and heard that you were going to Rongguo Mansion in the capital. I am also from the capital, and I also know Jia Baoyu from Rongguo Mansion, and if you need help with anything in the future, you can send someone to call me, and I will not postpone it!"

This time, the sisters and brothers, of course, helped Zhou Muqing the most, but they helped themselves solve a big problem.

This imported product from the West is a precious thing, and he doesn't have much silver on his body. It's only a dozen taels, and if it's not enough, I think it's going to the pawnshop to be a little something.

Zhou Muqing helped himself to fix it, wouldn't he have done himself a great favor! Liu Xianglian is also a righteous person. I don't want to owe a favor, and I'm worried about how to repay this favor in the future. I remembered that they had just said that they had reached Rongguo Mansion, and they all knew each other, so they blurted out a promise!

Hearing the name of the person who came, Zhou Mutian was suddenly shocked, "You are the one who talks about righteousness, that Liu Xianglian?"

I didn't expect that the world of the Red Mansion was quite small, and I had only traveled through six or seven days, and I met the three mother and son of the Xue family and Liu Xianglian successively. Just as I was about to think about Liu Xianglian in the book, I suddenly heard Zhou Mufeng ask:

"Sister knows who this Liu Xianglian is?" glared at Liu Xianglian fiercely, this disciple relied on his own appearance, so he came to swagger around, and pulled Zhou Muqing behind him.

"Our sister and brother don't need your repayment, it's best not to meet from today on!"

Zhou Muqing listened to Brother Feng'er's words, and was also feeling annoyed, saying that he should be cautious, and hammered his head with his hand, thinking to himself. was dragged away by Brother Feng!

Liu Xianglian looked at the girl's cute appearance and smiled unconsciously, but they were really an interesting pair of sisters and brothers.

When Zhou Muqing came back to his senses, he found that he was about to return to the ship!

"Sister, what's the matter?"

Zhou Muqing waved his hand again and again: "No, no", he smiled after speaking, "How can I have something!"

……

On the Xue family's boat, Baochai and Aunt Xue were talking about the two sisters and brothers of the Zhou family, "Mom is saying that the Jiaxing Zhou family was originally an official eunuch, but because of a crime, he was demoted to an official?"

Aunt Xue nodded, "It is said that the skinny camel is bigger than the horse, and I think that the Zhou family may not be defeated." Looking at the clothes of the two sisters and brothers of the Zhou family, they don't look like poor masters."

Xue Baochai responded softly, "Mom, didn't you say that the Zhou family and Rongguo Mansion have been in frequent contact for almost 20 years. What are the Zhou brothers and sisters entering Beijing for now?"

Aunt Xue pondered for a moment before she spoke, "At the beginning, the Zhou family was demoted, and they didn't say that they couldn't be officials in a few generations. Now it is the third emperor. I think the Zhou family is planning to make a comeback?"

"Since the Zhou family is a civil official, it is not good to participate in the imperial examination, but what is the use of sending two children to Rongguo Mansion?"

(Zhou Mu Qing, a child's family: After all, my two lives combined, I am also almost 40 years old.) You Xue Baochai is only a month older than my body that has crossed over)

Hearing Baochai's question, Aunt Xue said proudly, "You ask why, the Zhou family is just ordinary people now, relying on the relationship of relatives, and wants to use the power of Rongguo Mansion to re-enter the eyes of today!"

"Among the four major families, although our Xue family is not as good as before, it is much better than them. What can a so-called aunt and grandmother who has already left help? Now your uncle is the envoy of the Jingying Festival, and he is very popular today. If you enter the palace to be elected, I'm afraid you'll have to trouble him!"

Xue Baochai asked in confusion, "Then why did my mother give them sister and brother such a valuable meeting gift?"

Lovingly touched Xue Baochai's hair, "Seeing that you are usually a very shrewd person, you can't figure this out?" The old lady of the Zhou family is a person who has been a prince and a concubine, although after 20 years, there are still some friends who are still officials. We don't necessarily use it, but it's good to be close to each other!"

She was coquettish in Aunt Xue's arms again, "In the future, I will also have to walk around and get close to my sister of the Zhou family!"

Not to mention, the discussion of the mother and daughter of the Xue family, Zhou Muqing and the four of them returned to the boat, and it was another lively.

Bai Zhi, Bai Shao, and Bai Ying were surrounding the four people who came back from shopping, looking at the various items and gadgets they bought. From time to time, there was an exclamation.

Bai Zhi even picked up the pocket watch and looked it up and down, "What is this? ”

Bai Su acted as a commentator, proudly showing off his knowledge, "You don't know this, do you?" You looked at the three people surrounding you again, and you couldn't help but feel like the stars holding the moon!

"It's called a pocket watch, and it's a foreign product. You open the lid of your pocket watch and point to the hands inside. "This is for the time of sight. He also told them how to use Zhou Muqing to tell them. It caused everyone to be amazed again!

But Zhou Muqing listened to it for a while. But I regretted the little bit of insight that I just showed! The original body has never been exposed to these things, is it really good to say it yourself?

As the old saying goes, "What are you afraid of!" Mama Zhou asked, "The girl has never been out, where did she know the use of this imported product?"

Zhou Muqing was quite frustrated, and with a little bit of Laipi, he looked at everyone's curious eyes, "I said I dreamed about it, do you believe it?"
