Chapter 279: Tempting Liu Jifei's Crossing
The number of displaced people in front of them gradually increased, and some people even lay in the middle of the road, so in order not to collide with these people, the carriage had to slow down and avoid the bend. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The guards were on guard all the way, ready for battle, all of them were men who had killed people on the battlefield, and they were all angry, and they were not easy to provoke when they looked at them, so the homeless people only dared to watch from afar, and did not dare to step forward to stop them.
Liu Ji is already nearly fifty years old, how can his body and bones be compared with young people, and he has been running around for several days in a row, even if he is in a carriage, he is a little unbearable. Seeing that the convoy was moving slowly, he came out on foot to move his muscles, and just heard the conversation between Ma Xiuying and Zhu Biao, and couldn't help but praise loudly: "Mrs. Ma's words made her subordinates seem to be empowered, and her subordinates finally understood why some people can be princes and some people can do nothing." ”
Ma Xiuying leaned out of the window, "Mr. has won the award, this is just my nonsense to the child, it can't be taken seriously." ”
Liu Ji shook his head and said stubbornly: "Mrs. Ma's words are easy to understand, although they are what the standard son said, but we have also benefited a lot. Fate should still be in your own hands, you see those homeless people, they have hands and feet, they can work or join the army, they want to beg along the streets, they don't produce and complain about others, alas......"
Human nature is complicated, Ma Xiuying didn't want to get entangled in this topic, so she changed the conversation and asked, "Why doesn't Mr. sit in the car?"
Liu Ji laughed at himself: "This old bone of my subordinates is useless, the carriage is very bumpy, and if you don't get down and walk, this bone will really fall apart." ”
"Sir, don't dare to break up, my husband is still waiting for you in the eyes of Tianfu. If you don't mind, I'll come down and walk with him. Ma Xiuying laughed, jumped out of the carriage, and was really depressed in the carriage all day, she was so painful, not to mention Liu Ji.
Zhu Biao shouted: "Mother, I have to go by myself." ”
Ma Xiuying saw that the homeless man was only far away and didn't dare to get closer, so she hugged him out of the car and said, "Okay, go by yourself." Along the way, you have to observe the people's livelihood to know the difficulties of food and clothing, to observe the likes and dislikes of the people's feelings to know the beauty and dislike of customs, and to organize what you have seen and heard into a story to tell your younger brother. ”
She looked at the sleeping Zhu Fan and Zhu Di, and instructed the carriage to slow down to match the footsteps of several people.
Liu Ji nodded secretly, Zhu Biao was born in wealth and is accustomed to happiness, but there is no trace of squeamishness, from his words and deeds, it can be seen that Zhu Yuanzhang and Ma Xiuying have carefully taught this child. At this time, he didn't know that Zhu Biao had a secret disease, otherwise he would like this child's simple, studious and self-improving character even more.
The slow movement of the carriage attracted the attention of Song Lian and the others, and they also jumped out of the carriage to join the chatting team.
Walking between the mountains and rivers, it is natural to talk about mundane things and strange things.
Unconsciously talked about the topic of divination, Ma Xiuying has always been curious about this kind of metaphysics, which is a kind of knowledge that is contrary to science, but it really exists in life. She has heard people mention that Zhu Yuanzhang's fate is unspeakably precious, but how did these people predict it without knowing the future development?
Like this time, she took Zhu Yuanzhang's birthday and gambled that Liu Ji could meet her, if it was someone who didn't understand numerology, it would obviously not care, only people who really had skills and knew divination would attract attention. Liu Ji is willing to see her when he gets the eight characters of his birthday, and he obviously belongs to the kind of divine calculator who has the ability.
I heard that Liu Ji can still predict the future, will he also be a traverser? Ma Xiuying had a whim and asked: "It is rumored that Mr. knows the world, does Mr. really know what will happen in 500 years?"
Liu Ji laughed, and Su Ran moved, "The only ones who can know what will happen in five hundred years are immortals, and Mrs. Ma looks at her subordinates like immortals?"
Ma Xiuying secretly said in her heart: In my previous life, someone said that you were an immortal. On a whim, she smiled mischievously: "Although I am not an immortal, I can guess some things in five hundred years." ”
"Hmm, Mrs. Ma can also predict the future, can you tell me, her subordinates will listen to you. Liu Ji, Song Lian and others held their breath, not knowing whether what she said was true or not.
"I guess in 500 years, everyone will be able to fly in the sky, and people will be able to fly from Qingtian to Yingtian in the blink of an eye. Ma Xiuying looked at the carriage, and suddenly missed cars and airplanes, if there were these means of transportation, the end of the world would really be close at hand. It's a pity that in this day and age, even if someone prepared all the accessories for her, she couldn't make them.
Liu Ji smiled dumbly, "How is it possible, could it be that people have grown wings at that time?"
Song Lian and the three of them shrugged their shoulders, lowered their heads and smiled, obviously not believing Ma Xiuying's whimsy. In their cognition, they never thought that people would fly one day.
Ma Xiuying didn't care about their ridicule, and said loudly, "Of course it's possible! Since Lu Ban more than a thousand years ago was able to design a flying harrier and fly in the air for three days, why can't people five hundred years later make wings that can fly in the sky?"
People tend to focus on known facts, but refuse to accept unknown new things, explain to them the principle of the plane obviously they do not understand, but to use Luban's flying harrier as an analogy, they will have a visual concept.
Liu Ji pondered carefully, stroked his palm and smiled: "It makes sense, it makes sense, the future generations may really be able to create wings that can fly, but it's a pity that his subordinates can't live to that time, and they can't see that grand scene, and they have to continue to endure the pain of this carriage and horses." ”
It seems that Liu Ji doesn't know about airplanes, and Ma Xiuying said tentatively: "Have you ever heard that Mr. has heard that there is a kind of iron car that does not use horse-pulling, and it is very smooth and fast to drive?"
Liu Ji shook his head and sighed: "The subordinates of the cart that don't need to be drawn have only heard of the Trojan horse flowing cow invented by Mr. Wolong, but that thing has long been lost." It's a pity, it's a pity. ”
Ma Xiuying continued to probe, "Have you ever heard of air conditioners, TVs, and washing machines?"
"These subordinates you said are unheard of, I don't know where did Madame know?" Hearing these strange names, Liu Ji frowned and thought for a long time without any impression.
Song Lian and others are even more confused, flying harriers and Trojan horses are already legendary things, what are air conditioners, TVs, and washing machines?
After several temptations in a row, Ma Xiuying saw that Liu Ji was not as miraculous as the world said, it seemed that he was just relying on Zhou Yi to calculate some things, and he was not a time-traveler who knew what was going on, so he no longer showed off his insights beyond history, and humbly asked Liu Ji and others about the humanities and customs of Jiangsu and Zhejiang.
Jiangnan scribes actually have a natural contempt for women, and Ma Xiuying is Zhu Yuanzhang's wife, so they have to deal with it perfunctorily. However, after a few conversations, everyone found that Ma Xiuying was smart and wise, with excellent insight and far-reaching vision, and was not an ordinary woman, so they gradually put aside their prejudices and respected this woman from the bottom of their hearts.
