Chapter 891: Metalworking Workshop



This sarcastic 'tone' made Zhou Zhongying very angry, in the past two years, since Yangzhou Town opened a workshop in Xiting and sprinkled a lot of real money and silver, the town is in the world, people's hearts are not ancient, and they are full of copper smell.

Zhou Zhongying said lightly: "Bai family lady, can't you go to the restaurant to meet three friends and four friends?" It's just a few dollars of silver for wine and rice, so what's it? ”

"Yo, a few dollars of silver, Zhou Xiucai you have a hair?" The lady of the Bai family deliberately pretended to be suddenly enlightened, and slapped her forehead: "I forgot, you will work in the workshop." Don't say it, your lady is really good, her arms are strong, her strength is so great, she can be a full laborer, and she must get a lot of wages. Zhou Xiucai, you married such a lady, that is a blessing you cultivated in your previous life! ”

The tone in these words is very unkind, and it is clear that Zhou Zhongying is useless and a soft eater.

Zhou Zhongying completely broke out and scolded: "You are a good 'woman' Taoist family, and you talk about the length of people behind your back, are you still a 'woman'?" Also, when you lie on the wall and look at others, you are unchaste. ”

The lady of the Bai family was furious, and slapped the snow on the wall: "The surname Zhou, what do you say, say it again, be careful that I tear your 'forced' mouth!" What is unchaste, even if the aunt's 'milk' and 'milk' are not chaste, they will not take a fancy to you. You are still studying and working with your father-in-law, and you let your mother-in-law 'show up' outside all day long, and 'mix' with a group of men to work in the workshop, the ghost knows if she is out of the wall, she is very chaste! ”

"You...... A dog's mouth can't spit out ivory! Zhou Zhongying's face turned white.

"Giggles, don't you have anything to say, quarrel with the old lady!" The lady of the Bai family smiled proudly: "Zhou Xiucai, you better hurry up and find your lady back, if it's too late, maybe someone will be kidnapped."

。 If she's gone, won't you starve to death, giggles! ”

Zhou Zhongying clenched his fists: "Okay, I'll go and find her back, you wait, you wait!" ”

As soon as the blood came up, Zhou Zhongying walked extremely fast this time, and her steps were also extremely steady.

After a while, I came to the manufacturing bureau of Yangzhou Town, and saw a long wall in front of me, enclosing about hundreds of acres of land, and I didn't know what was going on inside the wall.

There are several 'holes' at the base of the wall, which are suddenly discharging hot black sewage outward.

Behind the wall, a lookout was built every two hundred paces, on which stood two armed guards with bows and crossbows.

Finally, the entrance of the big 'gate' was closed with an iron fence, and there were two soldiers in armor holding bright weapons in their hands. At this moment, it is the time to go to work in the afternoon, and craftsmen are constantly walking in. As soon as he arrived in front of the guard, he took out a sign and handed it over, and only after checking that it was correct, did the guard wave his hand and let him go.

Zhou Zhongying was menacing when he came, but when he came to him, he saw the guards armed to the teeth, but he was intimidated. The military masters of the four towns in Jiangbei can't recognize any reading seeds and don't read seeds, which annoys them, and they will be stabbed in the head, and there will be no place to reason if you die.

He didn't know the soldiers in Yangzhou Town, but in the past year, have there been fewer gentry and people in Jiangbei who have died at the hands of Gao Jie, Liu Zeqing, and Liu Liangzuo's ruffians?

For a while, Zhou Zhongying regretted it.

Just as he was probing his brain in front of him, he heard someone shouting above his head: "What are you doing, the appearance is suspicious, it is either a 'traitor' or a thief, come and take!" ”

It turned out that he had unconsciously walked under a watchtower.

When Zhou Zhongying shouted this shout, his soul was scattered and he wanted to escape, but when he saw the rounded bow on it, his two 'legs' were so soft that he wanted noodles, and he couldn't buy the pace no matter what.

Hearing the shouting, the guards guarding the big 'gate' ran over: "Stop, stop, what are you doing?" ”

Seeing that he was about to be caught, Zhou Zhongying suddenly saw a notice posted on the wall next to the big 'gate', which was the announcement of the examination for the recruitment of civil servants in Yangzhou Town.

His heart moved, and he immediately shouted: "I'm not a thief, I'm not a thief, I'm here to sign up for reference."

。 My name is Zhou Zhongying, a Xiucai from Xiting Town, Tongzhou. ”

Hearing that he reported his own 'door', the two guards who ran over stopped, looked at his appearance, and said with a smile: "It's really a showman, I was offended just now, don't blame it!" ”

As he spoke, he apologized.

Seeing that these two military men also knew the etiquette, Zhou Zhongying breathed a sigh of relief, said a few words, didn't dare to stay any longer, turned around and was about to leave. As for the matter of looking for his own lady, forget it, it is important to save his life.

"Wait, isn't Zhou Xianggong going to sign up, how did he go." A soldier stopped him curiously and said, "Please come with me!" ”

As he spoke, the two of them greeted him in the Ordnance Manufacturing Bureau.

Zhou Zhongying secretly screamed in her heart: Bitter!

smiled and said: "Master Jun, isn't this signing up for the imperial examination going to the Tongzhou Ya'men' ceremonial room, why do you tell me to go to the military arsenal?" I'd better go to Tongzhou by myself! ”

A soldier pulled Zhou Zhongying and explained politely: "Zhou Xianggong, you don't know, my marquis said it, because this is an exam is really in a hurry, and many scholars are afraid that they will not have time to go to the city to register." Because, my Yangzhou town has set up several other registration points in other places, and there is also one in the armory, so you are just right, and you don't have to go through the state. ”

Zhou Zhongying screamed bitterly again, so he had to follow the two into the big 'door'.

As soon as I entered the 'door', I was greeted by a rumbling sound and black smoke, and I didn't know what the situation was, and I was suddenly dizzy.

After a while, he entered a courtyard and was stuffed into a wing room on the left.

Inside sat a clerk in his early twenties, with a very kind face.

Seeing Zhou Zhongying come in and report his name again, he asked him about his situation very quickly, opened a book again, checked it, and said: "Zhou Zhongying, En'en, Xiting is such a person, showing his talent and fame." ”

Then he asked: "Zhou Xianggong, you came to sign up this time, can you bring a letter of guarantee from Libao, or a letter of recommendation from Libao......" Seeing Zhou Zhongying's blank look, he smiled: "Forgot to bring it?" It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, it's okay to make up for it, anyway, it's good to know that there is such a person as you. I'll give you the admission ticket first, and register your name. ”

After saying that, he was busy

。 In a few moments, a so-called "admission ticket" was filled out, a piece of parchment, about the size of a book. Zhou Zhongying's name, physiognomy characteristics, and family population are added to it.

Then asked Zhou Zhongying to stamp his fingerprints on the admission ticket and related documents, and when Zhou Zhongying completed the license sample, the young man laughed happily and said to himself: "I waited here for three days, and finally waited for a sign up, otherwise I really don't know how to 'pay' to the Hou Ye!" But he looked relieved.

Holding the admission ticket, Zhou Zhongying felt like he had been sold.

walked out of there ignorantly and stood outside for a long time, and then Zhou Zhongying remembered that he came to find his wife and go home.

But there was smoke and dust everywhere in front of him, and several tall stoves were spewing flames outward, like a monstrous dragon. This situation is like the legendary hell, but how to find the way.

When he was dizzy, he saw a tall young man wearing a Songjiang cotton shirt walking unhurriedly with his hands behind his back, and he was followed by two burly men, who looked very magnificent.

This young man was dressed the same as the bookstore he saw when Zhou Zhongying signed up just now, and his heart suddenly moved: Maybe this person is the little official of the Ordnance Bureau, ask him!

Generally speaking, the small officials in the ya'men have no fame and are not considered officials. Moreover, in the eyes of the world, Xu Zhi Xu is not a good word, which shows the social status of the small officials.

Zhou Zhongying is also a famous scholar, but he is not afraid in his heart, so he stepped forward and arched his hand, and said with a smile: "Zhou Zhongying in the Lower West Pavilion, you are polite." ”

"Bold!" The two strong men behind the young man puffed out their eyes at the same time and took a step forward.

The young man waved his hand, signaled the two to retreat, and saw the admission ticket in Zhou Zhongying's hand, and his eyes suddenly lit up: "You are here to sign up for the Yangzhou Town Civil Service Examination, Xiucai?" ”

Zhou Zhongying was about to ask him about something, and he deliberately smiled at the moment: "Yes, I came to sign up, next week Zhongying, after reading the sage book for decades, I heard that Mr. Sun was going to recruit talents, so I came over to see if Yangzhou Town had that sincerity." ”

The young man smiled and said: "That is, to recruit a group of civil servants to help manage the local civil affairs, Zhou Xianggong just stopped so, what is the matter?" ”

Zhou Zhongying: "I want to ask if you are from this Ordnance Bureau."

。 ”

The young man said, "Sort of, what's wrong?" ”

Zhou Zhongying thought about it, and vaguely remembered that the Hun family had told her that she was working in the metalworking workshop...... Metalworking workshop, what a mouthful name.

"Dare to ask the little brother, how to go to the metalworking workshop?"

"Metalworking workshop, you want to go to the metalworking workshop?" The young man's eyes widened in obvious surprise: "You also have a dabbling in car fitters?" ”

"I don't understand." Zhou Zhongying shook his head: "It's just to find someone." ”

The young man said with a smile: "As far as I know, the metalworking workshop is a first-class important place in Yangzhou Town, and it is heavily guarded, so ordinary people can't enter. If you want to look for someone, I'm afraid it won't work. ”

Zhou Zhongying suddenly asked, "Little brother, can you go in?" ”

The young man was stunned: "Me...... Nature is able to get in. Coincidentally, I was just about to go to the metalworking workshop. ”

Zhou Zhongying hurriedly arched his hand: "Little brother, you look like you are also a fellow scholar who has studied for a few years, can you make it convenient and take me over?" ”

"Let me take you into the workshop?" The young man's face was incredible.

"Please help, help." Zhou Zhongying couldn't help but give up his hand: "Reluctantly invited, it is really an important matter at home, and it cannot be delayed." ”

"What's going on at home?" The youth asked.

Zhou Zhongying suddenly blushed and said in a low voice: "My lady is ...... Working there, there is something at home, so I came to look for her......" is a showman, but let his wife work outside, Zhou Zhongying just wished that there was a gap under his feet to get into.

The young man's expression became serious, "I see, it turns out that your wife works in the Ordnance Bureau and is still a skilled worker in the metalworking workshop, if there is something at home that does not let you go, it is really a little unkind." ”

He turned his head and asked a big man behind him: "Is there a clause in the regulations of the Ordnance Bureau that family members can visit the factory?" ”

He replied: "Yes, during the production period, outsiders are not allowed to visit inside, and workers are not allowed to leave their posts. ”

The young man asked, "If I bring someone in, this precedent may be set?" ”

"Naturally

。 ”

"Okay." The young man turned around and smiled: "Zhou Zhongying, Zhou Zhongying, hehe, all the rivers in the world are of the same origin, and the red 'flowers' and green leaves are one family." You and I know each other, and it can be regarded as fate, so let's go in with so-and-so! ”

Zhou Zhongying was overjoyed: "Thank you, thank you." Ying suddenly asked, "Little brother, can you go in?" ”

The young man was stunned: "Me...... Nature is able to get in. Coincidentally, I was just about to go to the metalworking workshop. ”

Zhou Zhongying hurriedly arched his hand: "Little brother, you look like you are also a fellow scholar who has studied for a few years, can you make it convenient and take me over?" ”

"Let me take you into the workshop?" The young man's face was incredible.

"Please help, help." Zhou Zhongying couldn't help but give up his hand: "Reluctantly invited, it is really an important matter at home, and it cannot be delayed." ”

"What's going on at home?" The youth asked.

Zhou Zhongying suddenly blushed and said in a low voice: "My lady is ...... Working there, there is something at home, so I came to look for her......" is a showman, but let his wife work outside, Zhou Zhongying just wished that there was a gap under his feet to get into.

The young man's expression became serious, "I see, it turns out that your wife works in the Ordnance Bureau and is still a skilled worker in the metalworking workshop, if there is something at home that does not let you go, it is really a little unkind." ”

Zhou Zhongying was overjoyed: "Thank you, thank you." ”
