Chapter 594: Speaking of Exotics

Yun'er was still pondering her album, and she didn't hear the prince enter the house. The prince www.biquge.info patted Yun'er lightly on the shoulder, Yun'er screamed in fright, and the prince hugged Yun'er and gave her a silent signal. Shui'er rushed into the room like an arrow to protect the master, and when he saw that the husband and wife were making love, his face was hot, and he quickly retreated.

Yun'er giggled, and the prince also laughed, sitting at the table of the Eight Immortals: "Don't you light the lights so late?" You don't know how to rest? Concentrated. ”

Yun'er smiled and lit the lamp, personally served the prince, brought him tea, and brought him a plate of grapes and watermelon. Both fruits were placed on the table of the Eight Immortals.

The prince doesn't like sweets very much, so he pushed the fruit plate in front of Yun'er: "You should eat more fruits." I see that you are still a little anxious to do things, and you lose fire by eating fruit. ”

"Master said that we only have twenty or thirty years, and it is still very tight, and Yun'er is anxious. Yun'er tried her best to control her anxiety. You think, the emperor's time is running out, Concubine E will die in August next year, the emperor has no intention of doing anything, the three princes have no power to succeed to the throne, obey the orders of the auxiliary ministers, and can't help us, only one year to win the support of the emperor and the queen mother, and there must be something decent in their hands to show them, right? They think they can make money in order to give the green light to let them go. Yun'er just wants to teach everyone the skills of making cloth as soon as possible, so that she can concentrate on painting. ”

The prince held Yun'er's hand and said lovingly: "Following me, a husband who has no power and no power, has made you suffer a lot." ”

"Look at what you said, Yun'er is still suffering? There are so many people to help with everything, eat ready-made food every day, have your husband's clothes washed, and your children have to take care of them. Master asked Yun'er to help you, and your responsibility is heavy. ”

Yu'er coughed lightly outside the door, and Yun'er hurriedly left the prince and said, "Come in." ”

Yu'er is here to deliver snacks, she handed the snacks to Yun'er and was about to leave, the prince said, "Miss Yu'er go slowly." ”

Yu'er stopped: "The slave listens to the prince's orders." ”

"Can you keep up with your master's studies? She's anxious and may speak quickly. ”

"Back to the prince, the slave and maid can still keep up."

The prince was relieved, and said kindly: "It's okay, you go down and rest." Don't call yourself a slave or maid anymore, just call yourself by name. In terms of seniority, it seems that this king should call you sister-in-law, right? ”

Yu'er's face turned red and he hurriedly said, "Yes, then, Yu'er will retire." ”

The prince said, "The fish is double, and you still let her serve?" ”

"It's not Yun'er who asked her to serve, she's afraid that she will fall behind in her studies. Also, it's not okay for a woman to lie down all the time when she is pregnant, she has to be more active, and it is not easy to have dystocia when she gives birth. ”

"And so on. The king thought that the more honest he was, the safer he would be. ”

"But I can't move a lot, I can't run or jump."

Although Lan'er was promoted to first-class maids, it was Yu'er Shui'er who served closely. Lan'er has two errands, one is to prepare materials for everyone to do work, and the other is to learn to mount. Yun'er said to them, "It's not that I can't trust you, but the errand I have told you is much more important than serving me." Calligraphy and painting framing is a great skill, and you will not starve to death wherever you go. You have such a good opportunity now, why don't you learn? ”

Lan'er is so grateful to her master! Speaking of Lan'er and Hui'er, they are about to get married, and they will continue to be on an errand in the house after they get married. The in-laws will never stop them. What about the income of three taels of silver a month, who can be willing to give up the silver? Besides, the future mother-in-law's house is not far from the house.

Sometimes, Lan'er also helps to help the fish and water to dump the goods. The fish was pregnant and couldn't do the hard work, so they followed the handle, and of course they dared to come over only when ordered by the master.

Ling Juan is now concentrating on learning, although delivery is a familiar road for her, but it cannot be taken lightly, and emergencies often occur during the delivery process. Ling Juan was arming her mind with all her might, and quickly learned what she hadn't learned in the past. So in the past few days, she has rarely appeared in front of Yun'er.

Watching the master come to the door of the east and west living room of the hall, the fish unlocked the door. Yun'er looked in front of the pile full of stationery, and Shui'er said, "Master, if you want to bring you any water, don't do it." ”

"I'll take a look first, the prince said, tomorrow I will give this security door, and add iron bars to the windows, which can also prevent thieves."

Shui Er said: "Yes, there is no one living in the house on this side, and you may not even hear a thief coming here. ”

"Take something, Sister Shui'er, you just open the top and outermost ones, and take zero."

As he was talking, Tian Liang and Nalan came. He hurriedly said, "Master, what do you want to take?" The subordinate will bring it to you. ”

"Just in time for the rain to come."

"Then the subordinates and Nalan will do it? The subordinates dig out the box, Nalan and your daughter-in-law are below, and my daughter-in-law rests. ”

"You're going to tell jokes, too." Nalan said with a smile.

Tian Liang opened the gap from the top box in front of him and opened the box, which was not bad, the cultural supplies inside were not messily mixed together, they were all contained in a small box. The entire newly opened box was filled with pencils with eraser heads, and it was time for the literacy class students to hand out pencils and workbooks. Nalan put the pencil box on the desk in the hall first, then took the homework book, and quickly emptied the two large boxes. Of course, it won't be so much at once. The rest is here for the time being.

Yun'er asked, "You two chief managers have nothing else to do?" Dumping boxes for us is like an anti-aircraft gun to fight mosquitoes, which is overkill. ”

Nalan is not so restrained in front of Yun'er now, he didn't understand Yun'er's words, and he had a question mark on his face.

Tian Liang explained: "The anti-aircraft gun that the master said is a relatively sophisticated weapon in the foreign land, which has a long range and greater lethality than our red-coated cannon. ”

"Then why don't you buy a few and come back?"

"You guy, don't you know that we are disciples of Buddhism? Buy a cannon and come back to kill someone? Besides, do you think that anti-aircraft gun can be bought for three taels of silver or five taels of silver? A cannon of tens of thousands of taels is not possible. ”

"Huh? Is that expensive? When you come back, you don't talk much about foreign things, but you all want to know what kind of world it is and how you live there. Nalan said very matter-of-factly.

Tian Liang said: "It's not that we are deliberately hiding anything, it's that things there are completely different from the Qing Dynasty." Whether it is living habits or social forms, the main thing is people's thoughts, and the Qing Dynasty is not next to each other at all, and it can cause you confusion if you say it. ”

"Won't it?"

"You still don't believe me."

"Then you can tell your brother a little bit, and don't put up a fight."

"It's really not me here to put up a shelf and sell the guanzi, the prince rarely says anything about things over there, in fact, there is nothing mysterious, it's all ordinary people living a life, firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea. The difference is that there is a large population there, more than ten times more than our Daqing Dynasty. As soon as there are more people, there are all kinds of capable people, so the things over there are all kinds of strange, and the pencils in this box are not available in the Qing Dynasty. People over there don't use brushes much, they are all pencils, pens, and all kinds of pens that have been practical in recent years, gel pens, markers, and watercolor pens. Mainly fountain pens, pencils are used by small children just starting school. In the Qing Dynasty, how can children go to school without brushes? Talking about efficiency over there, how slow is it to write with a brush? People also use computers to type, for example, if this person writes a book to be published, and the computer is connected to the printing press, and the speed is printed. ”

"It's enjoyable. By the way, you said that day that tricycle is the lowest means of transportation over there, so what is the highest? ”

"I can't say the highest, I can only say that it's relatively high. Our officials here are running non-stop on horseback, how far can we run in a day? Saying that there are thousands of horses, that is too few, and horses can't run all day long, it's only three or five hundred miles, it has to eat grass and drink water and rest, right? The train over there is no problem with two thousand miles in one day and one night. ”

"Huh? So fast? Besides, it's not hot to death when you take the train. ”

"Sitting in the fire? The train was called because it used to be heated with coal to produce steam, but I don't know the details. The speed of the train is also different, ordinary trains run two or three hundred miles an hour, express trains have to be doubled, and there is a kind of bullet train that is faster. An hour is 250 to 300 kilometers. One hour is half an hour of our Qing Dynasty, and one kilometer is two miles of the Qing Dynasty, so it is an hour and a thousand miles. That's all, right? ”

"Aren't you appetizing? Let's talk about it, let's talk about it, let's not talk bad about people behind our backs. ”

"Well, let's talk about it, this train is not the fastest yet, and there are planes, flying in the sky. The speed of a large passenger plane is 900 kilometers per hour, which is 3,600 miles in an hour in the Qing Dynasty. If it were a fighter jet, it would be faster, supersonic faster than the speed of sound travel. What is the broadcast seven, four, seven, I can't say. ”

"Then it would be nice to buy it back, how good would it be to use it for war in the south?"

"That's not good, using foreign aircraft and artillery to participate in the war of the Qing Dynasty will be punished by God. Because the Outlands and ours are two worlds. Besides, will you use it when you buy it? People who have been in school for 20 years are considered to be educated, just me? Big characters can't read a pocket. ”

"It's so good over there, how did you come back?"

"Did I say it's okay over there? Even if there are many benefits that the Qing Dynasty does not have, but this is my home, with my loyal prince, as well as my women and daughters, and now my father and sister. To be honest, I don't like it there, and I don't think it's better than Daqing. Staying there for a year is always like stepping on cotton, and it is unreal. ”

Yun'er said: "I feel this way too. Moreover, the air, water, and food over there are all polluted, and they are not as delicious as our Daqing. Let's talk about it, the manager. ”

Nalan said: "But I think the things there are so good, it seems to be richer than here, why do you still say that you don't want to be there?" ”

"That's the difference in perception."

"What is an idea?"

"It's your idea, what do you think is right, there is a certain standard, right? For example, when you were in the Qing Dynasty, the orthodox idea you were exposed to was to be loyal to the king, but there was no emperor over there, who were you loyal to? You said that you are loyal to the lord and master, and there is no master over there. ”

"Isn't there no emperor over there?"

"There is no emperor and no other officials? We won't discuss this. Let's talk about the human mind. It doesn't matter if you're or not, it's all monogamous over there anyway. ”

"Isn't that good? Save three wives and four concubines from being jealous. ”

"But you can get a divorce over there. Some of the two quarreled and divorced because of a trivial matter. ”

"Isn't that just a single?"

"If you have the ability, look for it, and you won't leave again after a while."

"It's too casual, isn't it? It's okay for the man to say, but who else does the woman want to leave? ”

"Isn't that just a concept? The man can be found again after leaving, and the woman can be found again after he leaves? Or who will the man find when he leaves? ”

"I can't stand it, what has become of this?"

"Can't stand it? There are still many young men and women on the street hooking shoulders and hugging each other, do you see and arrest people? ”

"It's immoral, what's it like? Whose girl is so shameless? ”

"Just what do you mean by being shameless? Don't look at people with your thoughts. ”

"Tell me something else."

"Something else? There's a lot of other stuff, I know what you want to hear? ”

"That, that, you just tell me what the people over there eat, what they wear, and how they talk."

"I don't know what the countrymen eat over there, but the people in the city are all rice and white noodles. Let's treat small rice and stick noodles as coarse grains, and people should improve their lives. There are many samples to wear, there are suits, casual clothes, and women wear skirts in summer, the style is completely different from ours, it's not good. Those who speak without chewing words are the same, even if they have gone to college, but people with a high level of education speak very civilized and polite. ”

"What are you talking about?" The prince came in with a smile and a big fan with his iron handle.

"The prince is auspicious!" Everyone greeted the prince.

"His subordinates are introducing the situation of the foreign land to the Nalan guards, and he is very interested."

"Ma Ping Ma Yushi asked this king, and this king also told him a little, but he couldn't accept it. People's concepts are formed over the course of decades, and they are accumulated little by little in the social environment in which they live, and it is not easy to change them. If you suddenly add something completely different to him, his mind will be confused. ”

"Yes, what the prince said is so right, his subordinates are in chaos now." Nalan was very touched, and kept thinking about the plane in his head. But he didn't dare to ask the prince about the situation in the foreign land, although he wanted to know more about it, but the prince, Tian Liang and Master Yun didn't mention the foreign land much, and the other person didn't add to what he saw and heard to blow into the sky, as if the three of them were very taboo about the foreign land.

The prince looked at Nalan with a tangled look, and said with a smile: "It's not that we don't tell you, it's really that if you talk too much, your thinking will be messed up, and you will think about what to do in a foreign land every day." It doesn't matter, after a while, this king asked Fang Fujin to show you the photos brought back from there, and you will know what the place we went to look like. ”

"Great, great, my subordinates will definitely be able to grow a lot of knowledge. Thank you, Lord Wang. ”

Nalan is a simple-minded person, and it is not easy to ask too much when he sees that Wang Ye, Tian Liang and Fang Fujin don't like to talk about foreign things, but Yu'er has a strong interest in foreign lands. When he was at home, he asked Tian Liang around the corner: "Xianggong, what kind of pot do you use to cook in that place?" ”

"There are more steamers, soup pots, pressure cookers, rice cookers, dozens of kinds. How did you become interested in the Exotic? ”

"If the fish had gone with you, the master would not have suffered so much." (To be continued.) )
