Chapter 525: The Imperial Mission
"Of course it's the tea that opens, what else can I think of." Bo Qi was very unimpressed by Ma Du's inexplicable question, and reached for the teapot.
Madu stopped his fat hand, "If you think about it, for example, you can use steam to push the piston to drive the paddle or flywheel or something, you can grind the dough or strike iron or something." ”
"Grinding noodles with steam? What hysteria in broad daylight! Bo Qi's fat body squeezed Ma Du aside, took the teapot and poured half a pot into another teapot, "This is for your concubine, the old man will leave." ”
"Don't pay attention to what I told you just now, you can think about it again when you have time, this thing is very important, and it can be used when you go to sea."
Bo Qi handed the teapot to Hai Ying and turned his head and asked, "I see if you have seen it out of thin air, you can draw a pattern yourself, and the old man will help you make it?" ”
Ma Du has never had the opportunity to see such an old antique as the steam engine, even if he sees cars running all over the world, he doesn't know what the structure of the internal combustion engine is, and he is not from an engineering background, so he can't imagine it out of thin air.
Suddenly, he patted his head, almost forgetting that he still had a big encyclopedia, the epoch-making product of the steam engine, there must always be a little introduction.
Ignoring Bo Qi, he turned around and went into the kitchen, took the half pot of milk tea and entered the house, climbed along the steps all the way to the upper floor, and when he entered the bedroom, he saw Wu Rina lying under the glass window, enjoying the autumn sun, her belly that had risen slightly rhythmically undulating, and she was obviously asleep.
Madu put down the teapot and was about to pick her up, when Uzhna had already opened her eyes, "How can you sleep on the ground when you are pregnant!" ”
Uzhina rubbed her eyes and said dissatisfiedly: "The ground is very clean!" He also patted the shiny floor, "You see I'm wiped clean, there's no dust at all." ”
"It doesn't matter if you're lying on the grass or not, but it's not sleeping on the concrete floor. It seems that it is time to take Mrs. Xu over again and let her take care of you. ”
When Song Shuang was pregnant, thanks to Xu Daliang's mother-in-law, she made a great contribution to the Ma family, and she respected her very much from top to bottom.
"No!" Uzhina seemed to be the monkey who heard the tight spell, and plunged into the quilt, "Don't let her come, her mouth can kill me, just now her man also came to me, I feel like I'm dead again." ”
"People are also nagging a little for your good, don't cover your ears, I don't invite her. What did Doctor Xu say just now, there is no problem with your stomach. ”
Uzhna turned around and proudly touched her bulging belly, "Of course it's ruthless, Mongolian women will give birth, and I delivered the lambs at home." ”
Ma Du really didn't dare to compliment Uzhnara's hard tugging midwifery, and if it was replaced by a child, it might either be missing an arm or a leg.
The sound of Galu sounded in the courtyard, and Uzhna got up from the bed with a bone, her movements were very flexible and not affected by pregnancy, she walked to the windowsill with her bare feet and said a few words to Galu, then turned to Madu and said, "Galu said that the sheep are hungry and are going to herd the sheep." ”
Madu put her shoes on, "Remember to be careful, don't run too fast!" ”
Uzhna hugged Madu's neck and kissed it, and said with a smile: "Remember to come to me at night." ”
I'm afraid this is unlikely, taking advantage of Urina's pregnancy, Song Shuang has been taking the opportunity to squeeze Ma Du's energy, not to mention that he doesn't like to sleep with Galu in the same bed with three people.
Autumn in Jiangnan is a rare good time of the year, the autumn is high and cool, the temperature is moderate, it is a good time to recuperate, Ma Dajia will get up early every day, she will come to the playground when the students are in the morning reading class, there are a bunch of old men waiting for him, not to dance square dance, but to follow Zhu Sheng to learn Tai Chi.
The reason why Madu didn't teach in person was because he couldn't get up at this point in time. Guang Xianhui can't be a virtuous queen, you have to have wisdom to do it, Ma Dajia is very smart, and he can actually be a master for Ma Du in ten days.
Until the forehead sweats slightly, he will retract his fist, the four sons have already made breakfast and stayed on the edge of the playground, and then the mothers will sit on the stone steps of the grandstand to eat breakfast, which is not comparable to the food in the palace, but sweet potato porridge or spicy soup and meat and vegetarian buns.
Ma Dajia will always drink a big bowl of spicy soup, and she will sweat on her forehead, she likes this taste, and it can also dispel cold and stasis, strengthen the stomach and dispel wind. When the students are about to finish class, they will leave the academy surrounded by their sons.
Mu Ying would stay under the archway and send her home, and every time she couldn't say a few words to him, Song Shuang would come to the door with different cards.
For this kind of plaything, she repels it from the bottom of her heart, but since she has played a few times, she also finds it interesting, "Huh! "When I reached out and knocked the card down, I felt a joy in my heart.
She knows moderation and generally stops after two laps, and at noon the Ma family will send someone to bring her a meal, which is not sumptuous but delicate and delicious, and it is still the medicinal food ordered by the doctor.
After taking a nap and reading a book, in the middle of the afternoon, Ma Du Muying would drive a carriage to pick her up and let her go to the hot springs, she had only heard that there was a hot spring in Tangshan in the southeast of Yingtian, and she didn't know that Fangshan actually had a hot spring.
She didn't know that Ma Du didn't know, and she hadn't heard of a hot spring in Fangshan after six hundred years, this was a spring carved out of stone when building a house at the foot of the mountain, maybe the underground water veins were connected to Tangshan not far away.
The pool was not very large, and there was a makeshift grass shed to cover it, and Ma Dajiao reached out and touched it, and it was slightly hot and just bathed.
Mu Ying said: "This pool has just been repaired, and Niang Niang will use it, and she will start building a house here tomorrow." ”
"That's it, it's enough to have this grass shed in the way, otherwise I don't know how to record me in the history books, if it weren't for Xuan Zhong saying that soaking in hot springs is good for the body, I wouldn't have come."
Ma Du persuaded: "Sister and mother are in the world, what is it to build a bathroom to recuperate, anyway, if I have a bad reputation, it should be recorded on my head, who dares to chew the root of his tongue and let the emperor clean him up!" ”
"Dare to talk nonsense, if your reputation is bad, will my reputation be good, and then people will not have to say that it is connived by the palace, there is no need for the emperor to clean up others, I will clean you up first." Ma Dajia said and tugged at Ma Du's ear.
Ma Du rubbed his ears with a bitter face, "Sister I'm afraid that her body is really good, and the strength in her hands has grown a lot." It's not early, so let's hurry up and take a bath, don't wait for dark. ”
At the moment, the two maids served Ma Dajia to bathe, and Ma Du and Muying went outside to guard, chatting with each other, and suddenly two figures appeared in the west, and when they got closer, they saw Lao Liu hurrying over with a navy dress.
"It seems that something is wrong with the navy, Xuanzhong, don't let them get too close!"
Ma Du nodded and greeted him, the soldier was Qi Xiang's personal soldier who saw Ma Du and gave a military salute, Ma Du replied and asked, "What happened to the navy." ”
The soldier replied, "I don't know, but I just came here to deliver a letter." As he spoke, he took out a letter from his arms and handed it over, Ma Du opened the letter after inspecting the sealed fire paint, and couldn't help but cry out after seeing it, "I wiped it, and caught the envoys of the Japanese slaves!" ”
