"It hurts, it hurts, it hurts~, mother, you light!" Li Jie stood on tiptoe and grinned, and immediately begged for mercy loudly, this was the first time Mrs. Li had done anything to him.

"Madame, what are you doing here?" Li Zhu was also taken aback, and immediately stepped forward to persuade.

After all, Mrs. Li felt sorry for her son, and when she saw Li Jie's pain, she was reluctant to exert any more force, so she stomped her foot and let go of her hand, and then wiped her tears and said: "Jie'er, you are so bold, if it weren't for the Hu family coming today, I still don't know that you actually quit the marriage!" ”

"What divorce? The Hu family's marriage was withdrawn? How did I not know? When Li Zhu heard the news, he was like being struck by lightning, and he couldn't believe it.

Li Jie rubbed his red ears and inhaled cool air, and when he heard his mother's complaints, he couldn't help but say helplessly: "Mother, don't you dislike that Hu Qianhu, wouldn't it be right to quit the marriage now?" ”

"At this time and that time, now our family is in trouble, and it will be difficult to recover for a while, you have withdrawn the marriage now, how can it be easy to find this kind of family affair in the future?" Mrs. Li wiped her tears and said, Li Jie has reached the age of marriage, and if it is delayed for a few more years, it will be even more difficult to find after the age.

"Who said that I withdrew, obviously they took the initiative to withdraw, right?" Li Jie reluctantly argued for himself, although he did want to withdraw from the marriage when he went to Hu's house that day, but Hu Jiang took the initiative to propose it, because the other party had already had the intention of withdrawing from the marriage, even if he didn't go that day, Hu Jiang would take the initiative to come to the door.

"What the hell is going on with Jie'er, why did the Hu family's marriage be withdrawn?" Li Zhu finally got angry at this time, and immediately asked loudly.

Li Jie was helpless, so he had to tell him about his trip to Hujiang that day, of course, he concealed some things, and only said that he wanted to borrow money, but Hu Jiang took the initiative to withdraw from the marriage, and he agreed in anger.

"Treacherous, I didn't expect Hu Jiang to be so shameless!" Li Zhu's whole body trembled after hearing this, it was Hu Jiang who took the initiative to come to the door to mention the family matter, but now it's good, as soon as his family is in trouble, the other party can't wait to withdraw from the marriage, which is extremely shameless!

"No, if Hu Jiang took the initiative to withdraw from the marriage, then why did Hu Jiang come to the house in person and offer to restore the marriage contract between the two families?" When Mrs. Li heard this, she suddenly asked a little puzzled, Hu Jiang came to the door in person this afternoon and proposed to resume the marriage contract, which let Mrs. Li know that the marriage contract between the two families had been dissolved, so she was so angry.

"Isn't that easy? It must have been that he knew that I was awarded an official by the crown prince, and thought that I might have some future in the future, so he regretted it again, so he personally came to the door to restore the marriage contract! Li Jie chuckled, he knew that an untrustworthy villain like Hu Jiang would fall with the wind, but he didn't expect him to fall so quickly, he had just been awarded the official, and he took the initiative to find the door.

"It must be so! It must be so! But such a faithless man must not promise him any more! Li Zhuqi's beard trembled, although he knew that Hu Jiang's character was not good, but he didn't expect the other party to be so shameless, if he married this kind of person, he didn't know what trouble he would cause in the future?

"Husband, Jie'er is not too young, if you refuse this family business, in case you ......"

Mrs. Li was a little shaken, but before she could finish speaking, she was interrupted by Li Jie with a smile: "Mother, you don't have to worry about my marriage, the eldest husband is ambitious, why not have a wife?" And I am now the Zuo Si of Zhan Shifu, only one grade worse than my father, and I have a bright future in the future, maybe there will be countless daughters of good families lining up to marry me in the future! ”

Mrs. Li was also amused by Li Jie's words, but then she sighed again and said: "Jie'er, although you have entered the Zhan Mansion, it is not easy to be promoted in the imperial court, how many people have spent their whole lives, and they can only turn around in their original official positions, although that Hu Jiang's character is poor, but his daughter is still good, with the current situation of our family, it is not easy to find this kind of family affair." ”

"What's not easy about this, don't worry, mother, I'll marry you a princess back in the future!" Li Jie said half-jokingly and half-seriously, only Liu Ying's father and son knew about his desire to marry the princess, and even Liu Ying thought he was joking, so Li Jie didn't tell his parents, for fear of scaring them.

"I don't want you to marry any princess, so how did the princess marry? That's called Shang, and the princess has to live in her own princess's mansion after getting married, usually the concubine wants to see her, and she has to let the palace maid report, which is a husband and wife, it's just a crime! When Mrs. Li heard this, she and the princess were concubines, and she couldn't be clearer about the situation in the princess's mansion.

Seeing his mother's attitude, Li Jie also strengthened his determination to keep it a secret from his parents, in fact, he had long known that the princess was not easy to marry, and it would be a trouble to marry back, but in order to save the family's life, he had no other choice at all.

However, thinking of marrying a princess, Li Jie was also a little discouraged, originally he wanted to attract Zhu Yuanzhang's attention through meritorious service, but he didn't expect Lao Zhu not to come, but only attracted the prince Zhu Biao, although Zhu Biao's line can also attract Zhu Yuanzhang's attention, but after all, it is indirect, the effect must be much worse, and his time is running out.

In the next few days, Li Jie put all his energy into the Ordnance Bureau, and sometimes even lived in the Ordnance Bureau, and the craftsmen also worked overtime, and finally finally got the flintlock pistol, after all, many techniques were ready-made, and it was nothing more than a change of ignition method.

In addition, when designing the flintlock pistol, Li Jie also helped the craftsmen to put forward some improvements to the musket, although he had not been exposed to weapons in his previous life, but after all, he had hundreds of years of experience more than the ancients, and his mathematics, physics and chemistry were not learned in vain, so some of the unreasonable design of guns could also be seen by him at a glance.

It was precisely because of these improvements proposed by Li Jie that it took some extra time, otherwise it would not have taken so long to just make a gun.

"Stay away, the first test launch will start immediately!" Li Jie shouted loudly to the people on the field, and the surrounding craftsmen also retreated, and Li Zhu also came on purpose, and he was also standing in the distance at this time.

As the people around him retreated, the middle of the field was also vacant, and a special table was fixed to the ground, and there was an iron shelf on the table, and Li Jie loaded the flintlock pistol with gunpowder and projectiles, and then fixed the flintlock pistol on the shelf.

The Ordnance Bureau has always been very cautious about the test firing of new guns, because the performance of new guns is unstable and there may be a danger of exploding, so it is very dangerous to use people to test fire, so there is this special table.

When the flintlock pistol was fixed, Li Jie tied a rope to the trigger, and then pulled the rope back a few meters, and two craftsmen held large iron shields in front of him, so that even if the chamber was blown up, the safety of the personnel could be guaranteed.

After making these preparations, Li Jie took a long breath, and then looked around, and then under the gaze of everyone, he pulled the rope in his hand back suddenly, and whether he could succeed or not was in one fell swoop!
