It snowed heavily in the capital for a day, and the Xishan martial arts field was no exception, the mountains and forests around the martial arts field had been covered with white, and there were many guards on the flat ground in the middle clearing the accumulated snow, and the gray-brown ground was exposed.

It is said to be walking, but in fact, one person is walking, and the other is in a wheelchair.

Naturally, this person in a wheelchair is Yan Chengyue, and the person next to him is not a Chinese, but a Semu person, who is tall, with curly yellow hair and blue eyes, after wearing the orthodox Dayong costume, he looks a little nondescript.

However, the color eye man didn't notice it at all, on the contrary, he tugged at the placket of his shirt very excitedly, and raised his foot to look at the black cotton boots on his feet: "Yan, this dress is so beautiful, I have worn the best clothes, and the shoes fit well, thank you Yan for giving me such a good dress." ”

The clothes on the people are good, the inside is a satin cotton robe embroidered with patterns, the outside is covered with a large black embroidered cloak, the boots on the feet are made of black muslin, there is a lot of cotton inside, and the bottom of the boots is a handmade mille-feuille bottom, which is warm and comfortable to wear.

However, his clothes are still much worse than Yan Chengyue's.

The embroidery on Yan Chengyue's robe is that kind of dark pattern, which is not obvious at first glance, but if you look closely, you have to marvel at the exquisite craftsmanship of the embroiderer, and the cloak on Yan Chengyue's body is made of black wool mink, and the cloak surface is made of fine silk satin, and even the boots on her feet are made of cloud brocade.

Whether it is materials or handiwork, if Yan Chengyue's clothes are high-quality, the clothes on the people can only be said to be stalled.

But he was still very happy to wear such a stall.

Yan Chengyue shook his head secretly, and said in his heart that this person has no knowledge, but he said: "A piece of clothing is not worth anything, if Paul likes it, I will ask someone to make a few more with you." ”

When the man named Paul heard this, he was even more excited: "God, if I return to Europa, everyone will envy me, for this garment is better than the king's......"

Yan Chengyue smiled, others don't know, but he knows, the fanatical pursuit of silk in the countries of Europa has made silk products popular in those countries, and the price is quite expensive, only the big nobles can afford to wear it, speaking of which, the silk clothing worn by their king is just a big road goods.

In the Yong Dynasty, the status of merchants was low, and it was impossible to get good silk products, coupled with the danger of shipping, so the quality of silk products sold to Western European countries was not good, and it was not much worse than that used by officials and nobles in the Yong Dynasty.

This is probably the reason why Paul didn't see it.

Thinking that the weaving bureau set up by the official family in the south has signs of loss all the year round, and a lot of silk is piled up and cannot be sold, in addition, the official family is now short of money, and the red eyes are grabbing money everywhere, that is, the things that cooperate with the merchants have been done, and he has some ideas in his heart, Yan Chengyue smiled, and took Paul for another ride, and heard the sound of horses' hooves.

After a while, several horses galloped and stopped at a place only ten steps away from Yan Chengyue, Emperor Deqing jumped off the horse with a smile and patted the horse's back: "This horse is good, has good endurance, runs fast, and the most important thing is that it is docile, and when I return to the palace, I will take it to Feng'er." ”

"Your Majesty, are there any more horses like this?"

Yan Chengyue approached with a wheelchair and asked Emperor Deqing with a smile.

"There is also a white horse, which is not bad, but his temperament is too docile, and I don't like it." Emperor Deqing handed the horse to the guards and took it away, rubbing his wrists and laughing.

"The minister wants to ask for it, I don't know if His Majesty will allow it?" Yan Chengyue was very unceremoniously asked Emperor Deqing for a horse.

There had never been a courtier who asked him for something directly, and Emperor Deqing felt quite novel, and couldn't help laughing: "Okay, as long as the musket is well transformed this time, I will give you a good horse." ”

Yan Chengyue thanked Emperor Deqing, and said that a good horse is hard to find, he has always wanted to give Li Luan'er a horse, but he can't find a suitable one, and now he has the promise of the official family, if he can bring the horse back, he can't say that Li Luan'er will be happy.

Thinking of Li Luan'er's sassy and heroic posture on the horse with a smile on her face, Yan Chengyue only felt that her heart was hot, and she was eager to go back to see her, but the matter of musket improvement had not yet been settled, and he couldn't go back.

Pressing down the eagerness in his heart, Yan Chengyue arched his hand: "With Paul's help this time, the musket has improved a lot, and your majesty will try it in a while." ”

"Okay." Emperor Deqing waved his hand proudly: "I'll take a good look." ”

Yan Chengyue clapped his hands, and suddenly a team with muskets walked over with neat steps.

"This is the brothers of the musket battalion, it turns out that they are all Xing De's subordinates, they have been practicing for several days, and now they are very proficient, and they will demonstrate it to His Majesty today."

Yan Chengyue said and commanded the team to stand still in the middle of the martial arts arena, and as soon as he clapped his hands, many guards brought pigs and sheep over, and many wooden poles were erected on one side of the martial arts arena, and the guards used to tie the pigs and sheep, and those musketeers were divided into three rows, the first row squatted on the ground, the second row was half-squatting, and the third row was standing behind the second row.

As soon as Yan Chengyue gave the order, he saw the musketeers in the first row pick up their guns and take aim, pull the trigger, and hear the sound of banging and screaming of pigs and sheep.

After a round, many pigs and sheep tied to the wooden pole fell down, sniffing and sniffing, and the choking smell of gunpowder was mixed with a lot of blood.

Yan Chengyue waved his hand, the first row of musketeers stepped back, the second row made up for the position of the first row, and another round sounded, and after three rounds, all the pigs and sheep fell down with convulsions.

The clever guards ran over and dragged a few pigs and sheep that fell to the ground, and Emperor Deqing took a few officials to watch, and saw that some of these pigs and sheep were in the abdomen, and some of them were hit by gunpowder, and the place where they were beaten was pitch black, with a trace of gunpowder, and blood kept flowing out, which looked quite miserable.

Yan Chengyue stepped forward with a smile: "Your Majesty, the original musket needs a musketeer to ignite every time it is fired, and the gunpowder is in bulk, not only is it slow and easy to hurt its own people, but also in wet weather, the musket can't fire at all, Chen and Paul improved it three times, and now the musket is ignited with flint hitting, the safety and moisture-proof are much better than the original, and the speed is also fast, the gunpowder is wrapped in a moisture-proof paper shell, which is not only called shortening the time for filling gunpowder, and is not afraid of water, it can be used even in rainy weather......"

Emperor Deqing listened carefully, nodded his head, and when Yan Chengyue finished speaking, he went over and took a musket, raised the musket to aim, pulled the trigger violently, and heard a loud noise.

"That's amazing." Emperor Deqing was speechless: "Okay, good, Aiqing has made a lot of contributions this time, with this musket, I will see who dares to make trouble." ”

Emperor Deqing brought all the generals, and these military attachés were drooling one by one, and several immediately stepped forward to ask Emperor Deqing for a musket, but Emperor Deqing heard Yan Chengyue say that it was not easy to make this musket, and now there are not many, and it is impossible to have large-scale equipment, so they can only vaguely deal with these military attachés.

After seeing the musket, Emperor Deqing was quite satisfied, waved his hand very generously, and gave Yan Chengyue a good horse.

After Emperor Deqing left, Xing De didn't know where to come from, rubbed his hands and discussed with Yan Chengyue: "I said Master Yan, what is the use of the horse you want, you don't want to ride it, it's better to give it to my brother." ”

Yan Chengyue smiled, quite a little smiling: "Cheng, if Brother Xing wants, take the object in exchange, I can't ride a horse because I am incapacitated, but I can wield a knife, why don't I use the horse in exchange for Brother Xing's treasure knife." ”

When Xing De heard this, he quickly shook his head: "No, no, I won't change this knife." ”

He covered the big knife hanging on his waist and fled, for fear that if he didn't pay attention to the knife, he would be fooled away by Yan Chengyue.

Yan Chengyue couldn't help laughing when he saw Xing De flying away like a rabbit.

The men were glad that the muskets were getting better and better, but they did not see one of the guards moving the dead or crippled pigs and sheep with his head shut, and his face was frightened and brooding.

Yan Chengyue asked Yan Yi to send the BMW given by Emperor Deqing back to the capital, and he plunged into the workshop again with the craftsman to finalize the musket, urging the craftsman to hurry up and try to do more when the Tartar envoy came a year ago.

The old house of the Yan family

Lin Shi had another headache, and looked at the green vegetables and radishes in front of him and gritted his teeth, and her teeth were squeaked by her: "Li, you are feeding rabbits." ”

Li Luan'er smiled: "Where did Mrs. say, what is it called feeding rabbits, I didn't scold myself like this, Mrs. is not a rabbit." ”

"Who said I was a rabbit?" Lin was dizzy: "I mean the vegetarian on this table, there is no meat at all, only rabbits will eat it." ”

"Madame is wrong." Li Luan'er lowered her head, and there was still a little smile in her voice: "Sheep, deer, and everything can be eaten." ”

Lin pressed the corner of his forehead angrily: "Li, I don't need you to serve here, you hurry up and pack up and go home, under the root of the year, you have a lot of things to be busy with." ”

The Lin family really couldn't stand it, after a few days, Li Luan'er became more and more energetic, but she became more and more irritated and irritable, now, where did she still have any thoughts to toss Li Luan'er, and she wanted to get rid of Li Luan'er as soon as possible.

"How is this possible?" Li Luan'er exclaimed: "The daughter-in-law is here to serve the sick, where is the wife's illness and the daughter-in-law will leave." ”

"I'm getting better." Lin screamed angrily.

"Mrs. just had a headache, how can I call it." Li Luan'er blinked her eyes and made a look of sudden realization: "Mrs. is the most kind-hearted, about hurting her daughter-in-law, I'm afraid that my daughter-in-law can't be busy, so I can't bear the pain and drive my daughter-in-law back, Mrs. This kind daughter-in-law understands, but the big thing is not as important as Mrs. Illness, how can the daughter-in-law leave Mrs. alone, not to say that Chengyue will come back to scold the daughter-in-law, even I can't bear it, my wife should hurt me, and then ask someone to serve Mrs. for a few days." ”

The angry Lin picked up the teacup and smashed it: "Get out of ......"

"Young grandma, the eldest young master is back."

The vase entered the door with a face full of joy, and there had never been a moment when she was so eager for the eldest young master to come, so that she could take this shrewd and capable young grandmother away and return her to peace. R1152
