Chapter 91: The Governor's Lady's 'Grace'
For Chen Taishou's urging, Wu Kai turned a deaf ear, and only stared at Zhu Chaofeng, and the atmosphere was a little frozen for a while. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Seeing this, Wu Dujian also came forward to persuade him: "Virtuous son-in-law, you ......"
"Sir."
At this moment, a woman dressed as a maid suddenly walked in through the back door, hurriedly approached Chen Taishou's side, and muttered a few words.
When Chen Taishou heard this, his face showed a little displeasure, and he muttered something in his mouth, but in the end, he waved his hand and said, "Wuda, there are some private matters in my house that you need to help with, so you can go over with her and have a look!" β
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and pointed at the maid.
"Wait!"
Wu Kai didn't say anything, but Zhu Chaofeng didn't do it, pointed at Wu Kai and jumped to his feet and said, "My lord, he hasn't kowtowed to me yet, how can he just leave?!" β
"What's the hurry?"
Chen Taishou was already impatient, and scolded: "Isn't it just kowtowing to make amends? It's the same in the future! β
It is said that 'we will talk about it later', but who doesn't know that after this village, there will be no such shop?
In this way, Zhu Chaofeng worked hard to bring the lawsuit to Chen Taishou, but he only made some funeral expenses - not enough to bribe Zhang Tong's fraction of the sentence!
However, seeing that Chen Taishou's face was sinking like water, how dare Zhu Chaofeng say anything?
Seeing that Wu Kai was relieved and followed the maid out of the back door, Zhu Chaofeng's yellow teeth were about to be chewed up!
However, today's situation has once again proved Zhu Long's guess - before Wu Dujian and Chen Taishou step down, they can't move this Wu Kai.
It seems that this revenge can only be avenged next year!
said that Wu Kai followed the maid out the back door, and originally thought about thanking the freckled little maid for a few words, and by the way, asked Mrs. Taishou what was going on with her - apart from the eldest lady from a wealthy family, who else could make Chen Taishou change his mind so reluctantly?
It's just that after the maid went out, she had a cold face, as if Wu Kai owed her a lot of silver, so that Wu Kai didn't dare to mess around.
The two didn't say anything all the way, turned a few corners in the Taishou Mansion, and then came to an empty courtyard, and when they saw the loom in the center of the courtyard, Wu Kai suddenly realized that he was looking for himself emotionally, or for this matter.
Now he felt a lot more at ease, and when he looked closely, he found a green gauze tent in the corner, and there were several figures in it, all of whom seemed to be women-could it be that Mrs. Taishou was also among them?
At this time, I saw that the little maid changed her poker face, and stepped forward with a smile and said a blessing to the green gauze tent: "Madam, that Wuda has already brought it over." β
Sure enough, it's Mrs. Taishou!
Wu Kai also stepped forward and arched his hand: "Grass people Wu Kai, I've seen Madame!" β
In fact, when he said this, he still had a good impression of Mrs. Taishou in the green gauze tent, after all, people could be regarded as helping him escape - but this Mrs. Taishou opened her mouth, and the good feeling in Wu Kai's heart disappeared without a trace.
"You're that Wuda? Sure enough, there are some hateful faces. β
Depend on!
Three times in a row in a day, he was said to be 'ugly' to his face, and each time he was more straightforward than the other, even the Buddha couldn't help but be angry, not to mention Wu Kai, a fake?!
However, now that the situation is stronger than people, he can only 'greet' Mrs. Taishou hundreds of times in his heart!
Listening to the slightly lazy voice, he said condescendingly: "The drawings you have presented are also of some use, but there seem to be some flaws - come and show him!" β
Only then did Wu Kai realize that there were still three people kneeling behind the loomβit seemed that they had been kneeling for a long time, and their frozen lips were blue and trembling.
When they heard the prefect's wife's instructions, they hurriedly helped each other to get up from the ground, and respectfully saw Wu Kai, and then pulled him around the looms, pointing and pointing.
Only then did Wu Kai realize that they were all skilled craftsmen in Dongping Mansion, and this loom was built by several of them according to the drawings.
However, after that, Mrs. Taishou did not rush to send the loom to Jiangnan, but let the maidservants in the house try it day and night to test the practical value of this thing.
It's okay at first, it's really much faster than ordinary hand-spinning, but after a long time, there are many small problems like this, which is quite a headache.
So Mrs. Taishou had long wanted to find Wu Kai to come over and see if there was anything that could be improved.
Coincidentally, yesterday I heard from my husband that today the Wu Metropolitan Supervisor would bring Wu Kai to visit - so she kept letting the maid wait in the front yard, and when she saw Wu Kai, she immediately returned, and this happened to escape for Wu Kai.
Wu Kai listened to the craftsmen talk about the problem, and then he realized that there were many omissions in the original drawings - but this is also a helpless thing, after all, it was drawn out of thin air with vague memories and some imagination, and he didn't have time to experiment, and some mistakes were inevitable.
These problems are naturally difficult to solve in the hands of ordinary craftsmen, but they are easy for Wu Kai.
"This arm needs to be adjusted slightly, from 7 to 5 to 7 to 4.8...... What the? You don't know what four-point eight means? Then change it to 70 to 48! β
"This pulley ......"
"Shuttle ......"
Wu Kai picked up a wooden stick as he spoke, wrote and drew on the ground, calculated the values that needed to be more, and finally asked people to take a pen and paper, draw on the places that needed to be changed one by one, and then mark the detailed data.
"How?"
When everything was done, the voice of the prefect's wife came from behind the green gauze tent.
"Madame Hui."
The three craftsmen were busy and knelt down again, and said respectfully: "The villain will be able to work overnight, and it should be able to be improved tomorrow." β
After a pause, one of the eldest grades said, "According to Xiao Lao'er's speculation, the effect of Master Wu's changes will not be too bad. β
There was silence for a moment in the green gauze tent, and another woman's voice sounded: "In this case, you will immediately start to make improvements, and be sure to deliver the work before tomorrow morning!" β
The three craftsmen retreated, and only Wu Kai and a few women in the green gauze tent were left in the courtyard.
Wu Kai arched his hand, and was about to say goodbye and leave, but he heard the prefect's wife suddenly say again: "Wuda, if you have 999 yuan, buy 1,000 seasonal pear fruits, 11 yuan can make nine pears, and seven fruits are worth 4 yuan, then how many pears are there and what is the total value?" β
Wu Kai was stunned when he heard this, why did he still get the arithmetic question?
However, these questions did not bother him, so he picked up the wooden stick again, wrote and drew on the ground, listed a simple binary equation, and quickly reported the answer: "There are 657 pears with a total value of 803 wen, and there are 343 fruits with a total value of 197 wen." β
There was silence in the green gauze tent for a while, and when it was half loud, I heard the freckled maid scolding: "Bow your head!" Say you, hurry up and put your head down! β
Wu Kai hurriedly put his head under his head, peeked in, and saw that the green gauze tent was about one point left and right, and a few women slowly walked out of it.
Although he could only see the lower half of his body for the time being, Wu Kai immediately locked on to Mrs. Taishou - not because she was walking in the middle, but because her pomegranate-colored pleated dress was too dazzling.
A few of her steps were light, and the skirt was full of color, faintly showing the mandarin ducks playing in the water - dynamic pictures!
When he stepped on his left leg, the mandarin duck bowed his head and drank water, and changed his right leg, but he called the neck and sang!
Tut~
actually made a dynamic picture on the skirt, this woman can really show off her wealth!
At this time, the prefect's wife had also come to the front [said it was near, but in fact, there was a distance of four or five meters], as if she was looking at the equation that Wu Kai had just written on the ground.
Wu Kai secretly glanced at it, but he was secretly speechless - although he couldn't see the true face of the prefect's wife at this glance, he saw a pair of large car lights!
Wu Yueniang is a plump woman, but compared to this prefect's wife, she is a small witch - no wonder people walk so slowly, and it is easy to lose the center of gravity when walking fast.
was admiring the towering grandeur of the pair in his heart, but he heard the prefect's wife praise: "I can't imagine that a rough villager like you is still proficient in the method of counting." β
You're a rough villager, and your whole family is a rough villager!
If I want to tell you what I have seen in the world, I can scare you to death!
Wu Kai hated in his heart, but he could only say: "Madam praised it falsely, Wu Kai didn't dare to be ashamed." β
"You don't have to be modest."
The prefect's wife said: "With a talent like you, it is really a waste to waste years in Yanggu City." β
It seems that this 'car lamp' lady also has some insight - could it be that she was attracted by Lao Tzu's talent and wanted to come over to express her admiration?
Wu Kai was thinking in his heart, and he heard the prefect's wife say in the next second: "Well, for the sake of your loom, I will reward you with a grace and recommend you to be the steward of my family." β
Depend on~
In the eyes of this woman, it is a waste to be a big official in Yanggu, and to be a slave in her family is to make the best use of it!
