Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Study Was Surprised
When Yuan Yun sat in his study and drank tea, the sound of various rifles and artillery kept coming from his ears, the parade seemed to be going very smoothly, and this time the rifle team composed of Cao Ang's personal guards was specially responsible for performing the stunt of a hundred steps through Yang, even if it was not to mention the crosshair, just a hundred rifles were fired at the same time, the sound was shocking enough, and the newly improved cannon was even more exaggerated, when performing outside the city, even scared the animals that slept in early winter, all ran out, and the scene could not be expressed in words.
Cao Jie didn't go to watch the military parade ceremony as arranged by Yuan Yun, she was enjoying the feeling of being a bride in the back house of Yuan's mansion at the moment, her wedding with Yuan Yun was carried out two days before the parade day, the process was naturally very joyful, and the people with heads and faces in the city did not miss it, resulting in the street in front of Yuan's mansion was also temporarily requisitioned, which paved the banquet.
After the wedding banquet, Cao Jie lost the slightest interest in what military parade, after the wedding night, she plunged into Yuan Yun's back house group very well, and a group of women led by Cai Wenji were all concentrated in Cao Jie's small courtyard at the moment, which was naturally another lively.
The reason why Yuan Yun didn't go to see any military parade was that he was completely uninterested, and those who had watched the Tiananmen military parade in later generations certainly couldn't show the slightest interest in the so-called military parade in this backward era, but Yuan Yun didn't think about it, but it didn't mean that others were not moved, so a kind of so-called retainers, including Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong, were all gone.
"It's rare to be leisurely." Yuan Yun muttered, drank another cup of tea, and in an instant, the fragrance of tea ran through the entire snort, which made people enjoy it.
"Young master, I'm afraid the snow will fall in a few days, why did our gunpowder army in Luoyang choose to go out at this time?" When Qing'er spoke, she had already walked into the study with vegetables and fruits, and then smiled sweetly, and sat beside Yuan Yun naturally.
Yuan Yun jumped a grape and put it into his mouth, and then said vaguely: "The only one who can march in winter is our Luoyang Gunpowder Army, we plan to take advantage of Liu Bei and Liu Qi's inability to act in winter, and arrange all the defense lines, if we occupy an advantageous location at this time, the enemy will be very unlucky." ”
Qing'er didn't understand these military strategies at all, but no matter what Yuan Yun said, she would only nod her head in agreement, so she didn't say much at the moment, but wrapped the freshly knitted scarf around Yuan Yun's neck, and the corners of her mouth still had a warm smile.
Yuan Yun stroked the scarf in his hand, he was in a very good mood, he had taught all the women in the back house about wool weaving before, but in the end, only Cai Wenji and Qing'er could really do it well, even if Cao Qinghe was as quiet, there was no way to learn it, as for Liu Yiyi and Zhen Mi, they didn't learn it completely, and they gave up halfway.
Qing'er saw Yuan Yun looking at the scarf in a daze, and immediately smiled: "Except for Sister Wen Ji and Qing'er, does the young master know who has the best knitting skills?" ”
Yuan Yun was stunned, shook his head blankly and said: "The most likely is naturally Qinghe'er, but she prefers to take care of the children, so there is really no time for knitting, as for Yiyi and Sister Zhen, I think it's better to forget it, let them calm down and knit, it's better to kill their heads." ”
Qing'er heard Yuan Yun say this, she was panting with a straight smile, and only patted her chest for a long time before she patted her chest and said: "It's Sister Cao Jie, she is very interested in this knitting, but now she is the best at weaving, Qing'er and Sister Wen Ji are not as good as her." ”
Yuan Yun was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Can she learn knitting well with that temperament?" ”
Qing'er saw that Yuan Yun didn't believe it, so she pointed to the scarf and said, "This is what Sister Cao Jie knitted, doesn't the young master think it's better than what Qing'er and Sister Wen Ji knitted?" ”
Yuan Yun touched the scarf around his neck again in disbelief, only to feel that it was indeed very soft, and the distance between the threads was also unusually close, which was enough to prove the strength of the weaver, but he never expected that Cao Jie's fiery temperament could do such meticulous work.
Thinking of this, Yuan Yun was stunned for a while again, and finally smiled, and finally understood why Cao Jie said that he wanted to take over the garment business of Yuan's mansion, with this hand weaving kung fu, Cao Jie only needs to recruit some women in Luoyang, and then he can manufacture a large number of them.
And the wool, the raw material of this knitted sweater, has already gone through countless experiments, and finally came up with a texture similar to that of later generations, and now Cao Jieyi took over, which is equivalent to Luoyang spent countless energy to develop the wool thread, completely turned into something practical, so this industry is equal to her walking in the forefront.
"It seems that our family is going to have a rich woman like Yiyi again." Yuan Yun sighed, and his whole body fell on Qing'er's thigh.
Qing'er kindly peeled a grape, and then put it into Yuan Yun's mouth, before he smiled: "It's good to have a few more like Sister Yiyi, so that our family will become richer and richer, unlike Qing'er who doesn't understand anything, except for taking care of the young master, it's just useless." ”
Yuan Yun heard Qing'er say this, quickly raised his head again, and then said solemnly: "I don't want Qing'er to go into business too, without you to take care of me, I'd rather make tens of millions less." ”
Hearing this, Qing'er immediately asked in surprise, "Really?" ”
Yuan Yun nodded, and once again expressed his heartfelt opinion, he really didn't want Qing'er to learn from Liu Yiyi, run the business of the restaurant all day long, or be like Zhen Mi, constantly tinkering with minerals and land resources in the north.
Qing'er, since she came to her side when she was a child, she was the most intimate and lovely person, and money and nothing could be compared, so when these words came out, Yuan Yun felt that it was the most honest language he spoke.
After Qing'er was reaffirmed by Yuan Yun, she immediately continued: "Can the young master take Qing'er with him when he goes on the expedition?" ”
Yuan Yun was stunned for an instant, it turned out that the little girl in front of him came to ask him with this purpose, and taking his wife on the expedition is a big crime in the army, unless the court specifically allows it, it is impossible at all.
was silent for a long time, and Yuan Yun didn't know how to reject the little cute person in front of him, but he suffocated himself half to death.
Qing'er looked at Yuan Yun's expression, and finally sighed, and muttered: "Young master, don't worry, this is just Qing'er's blind thinking, the army is not allowed to bring women, this Qing'er naturally knows, just thinking about getting together with the young master less and leaving more, Qing'er feels very unwilling." ”
Yuan Yun sighed secretly, Qing'er in front of him was really the most intimate wife, and there was no one. Thinking about it like this, I feel that I am indeed a little sorry for these women in my family, over the years, he Yuan Yun has really worked hard, often running all over the world, which is very different from his original idea of eating and waiting for death.
Suddenly, there was a sound of artillery salvo fire outside the courtyard wall, and it was not until he heard this that Yuan Yun drew a smile on the corner of his mouth, and then rubbed Qing'er's little hand and said: "After a while, everything will be better, and when that time comes, young master, I will take you on a tour of the mountains and rivers every day, let's play together during the day, sleep together at night, and no one will leave anyone......"
Yuan Yun was halfway through his words, and then stopped slowly, because he had already seen that there was a head moving back and forth on the windowsill, and looking at the arc of that head, he didn't need to guess that it was Cao Chong.
"Oops!" After being hit in the head by Yuan Yun with a pear, Cao Chong finally couldn't hide, and only after shouting did he stick his whole head out of the windowsill.
Qing'er saw Cao Zheng coming, and remembered the love words that Yuan Yun said just now, her cheeks suddenly turned red, and she ran out of the study with a smoke, leaving Yuan Yun alone and feeling very uncomfortable, after all, a warm and soft body was gone.
Glaring at Cao Chong angrily, Yuan Yuncai asked unhappily: "There is a military parade outside, you don't go to see such a lively thing, what's the matter with Lao Tzu's study?" In addition, you are brave enough, your sister Cao Jie did not allow you to enter the back house of the Yuan Mansion earlier, and you kid is now knowingly committing a crime. ”
Cao Chong flicked his wide sleeves disappreciatively, and waited until the cuffs were all wrapped around his arms, and then he flipped through the windowsill vigorously, and then landed in the study, dodging the fruit thrown by Yuan Yun twice.
After sitting down, Cao Chong smiled and said, "Sister Cao Jie is enjoying the excitement of becoming a new wife at the moment, how can she pay attention to me?" In addition, the military parade on the street is just for those who take a closer look, I haven't seen the rifle and artillery, what is strange, really strange, this will probably only be seen by a few people, not even brother-in-law. ”
When Yuan Yun heard Cao Chong say this, he was taken aback, and hurriedly stared at Cao Chong's eyes and said, "Is the machine gun that fires in bursts successful?" ”
Cao Chong smiled and swallowed a bunch of grapes before replying: "If I hadn't succeeded, would I have taken such a big risk to come to the back house of the Yuan Mansion to inform my brother-in-law?" ”
Speaking of this, Cao Cheng suddenly paused, and then asked suspiciously: "It's just that why does this machine gun have to be called Gatling?" It feels a lot like the accent of the Hu people. ”
Yuan Yun couldn't sit still at this time, so he jumped up at once, and then began to put a coat on his body, and when he was all clothed, he found that Cao Chong was still sitting there munching on pears, so he immediately frowned, and said: "Hurry up and get dressed and go to the workshop with me, Pu Yuan and Ma Jun should already be waiting for me, right?" ”
Cao Cai hurriedly dealt with the last pear, then got up and patted his robe, and was about to walk towards the door of the study, but suddenly remembered that his shoes were at the windowsill at the moment, not at the gate, so he climbed out along the windowsill again, and appeared in the courtyard in a moment.
Yuan Yun originally wanted to beckon Xiao Liu to come with the frame, but suddenly found that this goods also went to the street to watch the military parade, and he really didn't know who to look for.
Cao Chong looked at Yuan Yun's embarrassed appearance, and immediately pointed to his own frame in the front yard and said, "Brother-in-law, let's sit on my frame, to ensure that it is more comfortable than my brother-in-law." ”
When Yuan Yun followed Cao Chong's point and looked at his frame, his face was a little surprised again, Cao Chong's frame turned out to be powered by an internal combustion engine, and as for the horses, there was no such thing as a horse at all.
During the time he left Luoyang, what happened, Yuan Yun really felt a little surprised now, thinking about the machine gun that he would see for a while, he instantly had a blank feeling in his heart about the future development of Luoyang, and now Luoyang really seems to be a wild horse that has been released, as for where it will develop, it is impossible to predict at all.
