Chapter 024: There's a Girl Next Door (1) 2/2
Regarding the frequent appearance of x/x on the title, some pot friends have never understood what it means.
In fact, it means today's shifts, and it is currently the meaning of the first shift. For example: 1/2, 1 is the first change, and the next 2 means that there will be two changes today.
Well, by the way, I ask for a recommendation, and I ask for a collection......
The plot of the recent paragraph may be relatively flat, but it is just a preparation for a larger conflict later. Xiao Cao came to the Three Kingdoms for the first time, and the foundation was too poor, so there must be a process. But soon, it will become popular, so stay tuned!

The bellows are annotated in later dictionaries as follows: a device that compresses air to generate airflow. The most common is weighed by wooden boxes, pistons, and trapdoors, which are used to make the fire vigorous.
However, the word bellows was first seen in the tenth year of Ming Chongzhen, in Song Yingxing's "Heavenly Creation". In Song Yingxing's commentary, he called it 'bellows'. However, the bellows that Song Yingxing said at that time was a piston two-way continuous blower bellows. Prior to this, a kind of wooden fan was recorded in the Wujing General Essentials of the Northern Song Dynasty...... Its principle is quite similar to that of the late Eastern Han Dynasty.
The drawing drawn by Cao Peng is a piston two-way air bellows.
Once this kind of thing is more than a thousand years ahead of its time, it is bound to have a huge impact once it is spread.
Cao Peng wasn't worried about any impact, what he was worried about was that this thing was his Zhenshan treasure and related to his future plans......
He didn't want to make someone else's wedding dress for what he had worked so hard to draw.
If it is taken away by someone who does not know how to do it, it is a piece of waste paper; But if it is obtained by someone who knows how to do it, it will really cause big trouble.
The more I thought about it, the more anxious I became, Cao Pengke couldn't stay!
"Dad, I'll go out."
Cao Ji didn't know what was going on, and was engrossed in striking iron.
So, he answered, and did not speak again. But Cao Ji didn't notice it, but it doesn't mean that others didn't pay attention. Wang Meng and Deng Ji both sensed that something was wrong with Cao Peng! It's just that Cao Ji's side can't do without people all of a sudden, Wang Meng frowned, and said loudly: "Tiger head, you go over and have a look." ”
"Got it!"
Wang Mai hurriedly agreed and quickly followed.
The two of them rushed out of the gate almost one after the other and ran in the direction of the river beach.
"Ah Fu, what's wrong? It's like a lost soul. ”
Deng Ji said: "Listening to what he said just now, it seems that he has lost something...... It shouldn't be a big deal, I'll go find him in a while. ”
Cao Peng's status in the family has increased with the times.
can be attributed to his age, in the eyes of Deng Ji and others, he is still a child.
It is also normal for children to lose everything, so Deng Ji didn't take it to heart.
But Wang Meng has a different view. In his eyes, Cao Peng is not an ordinary child. He has many traits that his peers can't match. Bold, careful, well-informed, and calm. Even if Cao Peng killed Chengji in Zhongyang Town, he was also calm after that. He was so flustered, something must have happened...... Although Wang Mai followed, Wang Meng was still not at ease.
"Uncle and grandson, you take care of it here, I'll go over and take a look. The weather is not good, and it snows so much, so don't really make trouble. ”
"It's okay, there's Father Lao."
Wang Meng walked out of the shed and looked up at the gloomy sky.
The snow is getting heavier.
Wang Meng put on a cotton robe, walked to the gate, and just stepped out, he saw a carriage parked outside the door.
A middle-aged man stepped forward and saw Wang Meng stunned at first, and then arched his hand and said, "Dare to ask the master, have you lost something?" ”
Lost something!
Ah Fu was panicking just now, as if he had lost something.
Wang Meng looked at the middle-aged man suspiciously, "This...... Please, are you ......"
"That's right, I'm the steward of the Zhang family in Niyang, and today I accompanied the young lady across the river to run errands, and I picked up a leather pocket under the peach tree on the river beach.
There are no other homes around here, so it must have something to do with the host's house.
So the young lady ordered someone to come and inquire, and at the same time she wanted to ask the master's family some questions...... I don't know if it's convenient? ”
The middle-aged man speaks very appropriately and methodically.
Between the words, it makes people feel that his upbringing is not bad, and it sounds very comfortable.
Wang Meng turned around and called, "Uncle grandson, come here." ”
Deng Ji heard Wang Meng's call and hurriedly ran over. After listening to Wang Meng's introduction, Deng Ji was in awe, "It turned out to be Miss Zhang's family, she missed the distance, forgive your sins!" ”
At this moment, the curtain of the carriage was lifted, and a young girl came out of the carriage.
Looking at her age, the girl is about fourteen or fifteen, seven feet tall, slightly plump, and exudes a sense of luxury. Jet-black hair, combing a fallen horse bun that was extremely popular in the late Eastern Han Dynasty and was created by Sun Shou, the wife of the general Liang Ji. However, it is not the same as the ordinary fallen horse bun, and the girl's fallen horse bun is very creative, like the shape of a fallen horse...... In later generations, this kind of fallen horse bun is called a fallen bun.
Wearing a turquoise hairpin on his head, he lightly swept the moth eyebrows.
He wears a bright yellow jacket and a white cotton robe and cape. This jacket is also called a jacket.
However, a jacket is not a top, but a high-quality garment. Just looking at this dress, you know that this girl's background is not small.
It's just that the skin tone is slightly darker......
It's not black either!
If you put it in modern language, it is wheat color.
A pair of bright eyes, the bridge of the nose is straight and delicate, and the cherry mouth is quite moving.
Deng Ji hurriedly stepped forward and saluted respectfully: "Miss Unknown is here, please forgive me." ”
"This gentleman, the little woman took the liberty to come and disturb, but it was wrong in the first place, why should the gentleman be polite? The little woman came to the door today to ask for advice. ”
"Ah, please inside!"
As he spoke, Deng Ji turned sideways to make a way, and the girl was not polite, and stepped up the steps.
As soon as I entered the door, I heard a loud noise.
It turned out that Cao Ji clamped the finished workpiece and put it into a sink.
A fishy smell suddenly permeated the courtyard.
The girl frowned, then her eyes lit up, and she let out a soft 'huh'.
It turned out that she found that there were two sinks in this shed. One iron-melting furnace, two sinks, it doesn't seem to be common. And it doesn't seem to be the clear water in the sink for quenching. The girl couldn't help but stop, but she was surprised to see that after Cao Ji took the workpiece out of the sink, he did not immediately put it into the iron-melting furnace to continue forging, but put the workpiece into another sink......
The sink didn't seem to be filled with water, but with a special liquid.
Accompanied by green smoke, there is also a strange smell.
In other words, these two sinks are specially designed and serve different purposes.
The girl had seen a lot of blacksmiths, but it was the first time she had seen such quenching......
"Dare to ask sir, why do you need to build two quenching troughs?"
Deng Ji was stunned and was about to answer, but heard Wang Meng speak: "Hehe, it's just nonsense, Miss don't be surprised." Rough work, not very good-looking, please in the house! ”
Wang Meng remembered that Cao Peng had told others not to tell others about the purpose of the sink.
Seeing that Deng Ji seemed to want to tell the truth, he hurriedly stepped forward to explain.
"Oh, nonsense, nonsense."
At the beginning, Deng Ji was suppressed by the name of the Zhang family of Niyang, so that he lost his temper.
He told Cao Peng that although the Nieyang Zhang family was not a powerful family like Yuan Shao, the fourth and third dukes, it was also a family of eunuchs. However, he was suppressed by Zhang's name, not out of fear, but out of respect. Nieyang Zhang, a generation of doctors, is very famous in the local area.
After the failure of the Yellow Turban Uprising, corpses littered Nanyang County, causing a great plague.
At that time, the Zhang clan of Niyang almost lost all their wealth and quelled the spread of the plague. Moreover, in order to save the people, the Zhang family also sent many doctors to heal people everywhere. In just a few months, the Zhang family has survived countless lives. However, in order to save people, the Zhang family paid the lives of six children...... Don't say that Nieyang, Thorn Yang, the entire Nanyang County, and even most of Jingzhou, when it comes to the Zhang family, who dares to be disrespectful?
Because of this reason, Deng Ji almost forgot Cao Peng's explanation.
On the girl's face, a bright smile appeared, a pair of bright eyes blinked, and suddenly smiled: "In this way, the little woman will disturb the husband's family." ”
After speaking, she walked into the living room accompanied by Deng Ji.
"Who's that girl?"
Cao Ji only noticed it at this time, and asked Wang Meng suspiciously.
"I don't know, it seems that I picked up Ah Fu's things and came to return them...... Oh, she is a child of the Zhang family in Niyang, you can also go in and see it, don't lose your manners and make people criticize. ”
When Cao Ji heard this, he hurriedly agreed.
He hurriedly changed his clothes and walked into the living room.
I saw the girl holding a black leather bag, "Excuse me, this is your belongings?" ”
Cao Ji recognized it at a glance that this leather bag was owned by Cao Peng, and hurriedly said: "That's right, this is indeed my family's thing......"
"Ah, this is my father-in-law, Miss forgive me......
Dad, this is the young lady of the Zhang family in Nieyang, who found a leather pocket on the river beach and came to return it. ”
"Is this really your stuff?"
The girl didn't seem to believe it.
In fact, the family made her feel quite weird.
Looking at Deng Ji's speech and demeanor, he seems to be a scholar. But his father-in-law is actually a blacksmith?
Cao Ji heard the doubts in the girl's tone, and felt a little unhappy, "Of course it's my thing, can I still lie to you?" ”
"Don't be angry, old man."
The girl hurriedly apologized, and then said: "After the little woman picked up this leather bag, she accidentally found a few drawings...... I was curious, so I took the liberty to disturb him. I also hope that the old gentleman can teach the little woman, what is the use of the things drawn on this picture? ”
As she spoke, she took out a few pieces of hemp paper and placed them on the case.
Deng Ji was stunned, walked up and looked at it twice, but he was furious.
"How dare Ah Fu do this?"
Graphics on paper, he couldn't read.
It just feels like a cabinet...... What made Deng Ji angry was that these hemp papers were not easy to come by, so Cao Peng took them away and scribbled on them, which was a waste.
"Didn't you draw this?"
"Oh...... This is the work of my brother-in-law! ”
Deng Ji couldn't help but feel a little ashamed. You must know that although hemp paper is not as precious as Zuo Bo paper, it is also very rare for ordinary readers. I am also a scholar, so I naturally know the suffering of this scholar...... Such a precious paper was actually ......
Deng Ji was a little angry!
"Your brother-in-law?"
The girl's eyes lit up, "Can you introduce a little girl to one or two?" ”
As soon as she spoke, she sensed that something was wrong. Pretty blushed, and hurriedly said, "The little girl is very interested in the things on this picture, so I want to ask for advice." ”
"This ...... He seems to have gone looking for something! ”
Looking for something?
The girl was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "But is this leather bag?" ”
"Exactly!"
It seems that this drawing is really not ordinary.
The girl is also a family student.,Very obsessed with the art of mechanical engineering.。
At first glance, I don't know what the bellows on the picture is, but I am keenly aware that the purpose of this thing should be not small.
The owner of this picture seems to value it very much......
