Chapter 42: The Man Behind the Pot

Yang Bo went to Meizhen for a few days, and there were really a lot of backlogs on hand.

Uncle Ji is said to have led soldiers and fought in the Wenxiang Sect in his early years, and has been a housekeeper in the Shen Mansion for many years.

Just sent Uncle Ji away, Gan Xin came to the door again.

Gan Xin's life is stupid and coarse, but he is a curious baby, Yang Bo talked to him, it is the confrontation of modern thinking and ancient craftsmanship, and sometimes it can even spark, which makes Yang Bo happy.

To make matches, the main problem is to isolate the air, otherwise the white phosphorus will be burned out before it cools down. Yang Bo's scheme is to use iron kettle body and copper kettle cover, using different metals in the heating process of different degrees of heat expansion and contraction, so that when the reactor is heated, the higher the temperature, the kettle body and the kettle cover are more tightly combined, so as to achieve the purpose of sealing.

The pipeline is connected by flanges, and the curious baby Gan Xin proposed to use riveting and using fawn skin as a sealing ring, which solved the problem of pipeline sealing, and Yang Bo couldn't help but be impressed by Gan Xin.

Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, Yang Bo sent away the salary, and then walked out of the door to find happy water, to see what he bought and came back for the festival.

Yang Bo is very curious, how did people in the Ming Dynasty celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival?

"The autumn wind rises, the crab feet are itchy, of course the Mid-Autumn Festival eats crabs, this is what Sister Luo'er said." Leshui said happily.

Yang Bo saw that there were a lot of moon cakes on the small stone table, and the appearance was not much different from the Soviet-style moon cakes of later generations, so I wonder if the taste is similar?

Le Shui saw that the senior brother was holding a piece of moon cake and looking left and right, looking quite interested, so he said, "Senior brother, how about you taste it?" The little face showed an expectant look.

Yang Bo tasted it, it was really a familiar appearance, a familiar taste, and blurted out: "It's all about the same." ”

"What is almost?"

"This.." Yang Bo was shocked and almost leaked his mouth, touched his nose, and said with a smile: "Leshui, aren't you from the north?" I also know that the autumn wind rises and the crab feet itch, isn't it similar to the north and the south? ”

Leshui looked at Yang Bo suspiciously, and said, "Senior brother, are you coaxing me, I already knew that as soon as you coaxed me, I would touch my nose, hum.."

Bang, this makes Leshui see it?

Yang Bo's heart was empty, and he hurriedly asked: "It tastes good, is it made in Suzhou?" ”

"Senior brother, this is what I did." Leshui's tone was a little coquettish, and his small mouth curled, "Sister Luo'er taught me to do it, senior brother, you tell me the truth, are these mooncakes delicious?" ”

Yang Bo was pleasantly surprised: "Ouch, you did this?" I didn't expect our Jiale water to be so capable, delicious, really delicious. ”

Yang Bo didn't touch his nose this time, Leshui was a little confused, and said: "Sister Luo'er also said, invite us to Deyue Tower to enjoy the moon at night, senior brother, will you go?" ”

"Don't we have Huaixiang Pavilion, why don't we go to Deyue Tower? Tell her, go to Huaixiang Pavilion, I will invite her to eat hot pot. "Of course, business takes care of itself.

Yang Bo was only concerned about eating moon cakes, but he heard Le Shui le's diligent call: "Sister Qing'er, why are you here?" ”

Yang Bo turned his head to look, Shen Yanqing had a calm face and strode over.

"Leshui, I have something to say to your senior brother." Shen Yanqing winked.

Yang Bo said: "Leshui, you go get that drunken crab first, and I'll come over to help you later." ”

Hearing this, Leshui curled his mouth and walked away muttering.

"Qing'er, what's wrong?" Yang Bo saw Shen Yanqing's depressed expression and said with concern.

Wu Yuanqing hanged himself, and his son Wu Jin also rolled up the family's money and ran away. Daughter Wu Yuer also gave a divorce, and now she is also going to die or live.."

"Why?" Yang Bo was surprised when he heard this, he almost forgot about the Wu family.

Shen Yanqing kicked her eyes and said angrily: "Why? Driving Wu Yuanqing's family out of Shenjiabao is said to be your idea? ”

Yang Bo said in his heart: "I said yes, the final decision is your father Shen Jizhi, not me, besides, Wu Yuanqing is guarding and stealing, no matter how generous the Shen family is, it is impossible to keep him." ”

"Or, Qing'er, you go and persuade your father to let their mother and daughter stay in Shenjiabao?" Yang Bo said tentatively.

"You are such a ruthless person when you are the Shen family? That Wu Yu'er, when I was a child, played with me, I went, but they didn't listen to persuasion, and they took me... Kicked out. ”

"However, Yu'er is really pitiful to look at," Shen Yanqing glanced at Yang Bo, and said, "I don't care, you can't get out of this matter, you have to think of a way." ”

Yang Bo felt that he was very wronged, more wronged than Dou E, no wonder he was a proper man in the snow in August this year.

Yang Bo pondered, your Shen family is relying on me, yes or no? Your father is known as Bo Yuntian, but he is an old fox, playing a game of chess with him, he actually dug such a big pit for people to jump, and his ability to shake the pot is really first-class.

Yang Bo followed Shen Yanqing out of the temple gate, looking at the sky, the sun could only see a vague shadow, the appearance of Xiao Noon, Le Shui was fortunate to make a drunken crab, I am afraid that I will not be able to eat it.

The Wu family is west of Shenfu and east of Erli Lane, which is the 'rich area' of Shenjiabao, and most of the old brothers who followed Shen Jizhi to Shenjiabao live in that area, but it is not difficult to find.

The door of Wu's house is open, and a funeral is being held at home.

Wu Yuanqing guarded and stole himself, and even if the neighbors came, it was inconvenient to stay for a long time, and the scene was very deserted.

Shen Yanqing just stood near the door, reluctant to enter the door, probably angry, Yang Bo had to go in alone.

When I entered the door, I saw Sister-in-law Wu kneeling in front of the coffin with filial piety.

Yang Bo first saluted the incense according to the rules, burned a few pieces of paper, kowtowed respectfully, and muttered silently in his heart.

"Old Wu, rest in peace, I hope you are in the spirit of heaven and bless your wife and daughter safely."

Speaking of which, he and Wu Yuanqing have no grievances and no enmity, and he really feels that Lao Wu's death is not worth it, and if you want to blame him, you can only blame his uncompetitive son.

"Sister-in-law Wu, I'm here to see if I can help." Yang Bo looked apologetic.

After all, it was Yang Bo who first discovered Wu Yuanqing's deeds, Wu Yuanqing and Wu Jin made a mistake, but the consequences had to be borne by the mother and daughter, and the guilt in his heart was real.

"Young Master Yang, the Wu family's small family doesn't dare to work hard for you." Sister-in-law Wu had no sadness on her face, only an indifferent color, "If a person dies, it will be a hundred, this is all fate, son-in-law should go." ”

Yang Bo persuaded: "Sister-in-law Wu, Yan Qing also said, you can stay in Shenjiabao without leaving, now the world is not good, your mother and daughter are lonely, and it is inconvenient to leave Shenjiabao to live outside..."

No matter how Yang Bo tried to persuade her, Sister-in-law Wu was unwilling to deal with her, no wonder Qing'er would rather stay outside the door than come in.

In desperation, Yang Bo thought that his mind had been exhausted, should it be time to leave?

At this moment, Yang Bo heard a clangling sound from the back room, like the sound of something falling, he didn't see Wu Yu'er, the daughter of the Wu family, could it be that she was in the back room?

"Sister-in-law Wu, is Yu'er at home?" Yang Bo asked.

Sister-in-law Wu seemed to be an old monk and was silent.

Yang Bo couldn't help but rush up, according to Yang Bo's understanding, Wu Yuanqing was to blame, he was kind enough to help, but he was not welcomed.

Yang Bo didn't care whether Sister-in-law Wu agreed or not, and went straight to the back room.

"Oh no, Sister-in-law Wu, Qing'er..."

Yang Bo saw a woman hanging herself from the roof beam, and shouted loudly: "Quick, call someone quickly, Yu'er has an accident." ”

Yang Bo hugged Wu Yu'er's legs and piled them up hard, shouting that someone was coming.

Shen Yanqing and Sister-in-law Wu heard Yang Bo's shout, rushed in one after another, and also helped push up, Yang Bo jumped on a table, and the three of them hurriedly rescued Wu Yuer from the beam.

"The back room is too dark, Yang Bo, let's carry her to the front room together." Shen Yanqing said.

The two of them put Wu Yu'er's Taidao Hall House close to the door, where there was plenty of light, and the neighbors next door heard Yang Bo shouting and kept coming.

Looking at Wu Yu'er lying on the ground, Yang Bo was at a loss for a while, but saw Shen Yanqing stretch out his hand to try his snort, and carefully checked Wu Yu'er's neck, and then reached out to pull one of Wu Yu'er's hands, as if he was checking the pulse, and his movements were very skillful.

Yang Bo looked stunned for a moment, and said strangely: "Qing'er, could it be that you know how to heal?" Shen Yanqing glanced at Yang Bo and did not answer.

The strangulation marks on Wu Yu'er's neck were still scarlet, and there was no dark green, so she only heard Shen Yanqing say: "Fortunately, you found it in time, Yu'er's pulse and breathing are normal, and it won't be a big deal." ”

Yang Bo was not at ease, and said to Sister-in-law Wu: "Sister-in-law Wu, do you want to ask a doctor to take a look again?" ”

Sister-in-law Wu also looked frightened, but she shook her head, beat her chest and cried: "Yu'er, my poor Yu'er, you are stupid, you are dead, how can your mother live..."

Yang Bo looked at Shen Yanqing, Shen Yanqing's beauty was also sweating on her forehead, and she also looked at him steadily.

"Sister-in-law Wu, you see this matter, Yu'er is young and suffers, you just listen to me, stay in Shenjiabao, even if it's temporary, okay?" Yang Bo persuaded again.

"Shen Jiabao is the place of the Shen family." Sister-in-law Wu touched a handful of tears and glanced at Shen Yanqing, who was also interested, stood up, and walked out without saying a word.

Sister-in-law Wu saw Shen Yanqing leaving, and said: "Our Wu family has committed an incident in the Shen family, who dares to take in our mother and daughter, pity my Yu'er.." Sister-in-law Wu cried and wiped her tears.

"Sister-in-law Wu, if you don't dislike it, you can also go to the stone temple," Yang Bo said immediately.

"Yang Gongzi, you are a good person, my daughter is literate and hyphenated, and I hope I can help in the stone temple, so you should take pity on her, leave her behind, and I won't go."

"How can it, the mother and daughter go together, fortunately there is a response, there is a huge stone temple, it is difficult to find a job for you to do, so it is decided, after Brother Wu's matter is done, you come to me."

At this time, Wu Yu'er coughed a few times in a row, and came to her senses, sure enough, there was no big problem, there were already many people gathered at the door, and some people were whispering.

When Yang Bo walked out of the gate of Wu's house, he heard someone saying: "Wu Yu'er hanged herself, Yang Gongzi rushed into the boudoir and rescued her..."

"Yang Gongzi entered Wu Yuer's boudoir? I'm afraid that no one wants this Wu Yu'er. ”

"Young Master Yang, you hugged this Wu Yu'er, touched it, just marry her and be a concubine..."Someone shouted.

"Young Master Yang, accept her, this is the best, everyone is happy....."

The crowd burst into laughter.

In this way, Yang Bo saved Wu Yuer, but the mud fell off the crotch of his pants, not is?
