Because the imperial court had long decided not to add new warships to the sailors, the original craftsmen of the Dengzhou sailors had no work to do, so they could only work hard. For artisans, there is no income without work. So, they had to find another way. For Zhang Zhun, of course, they can't be trusted. However, with Sun Qinkai coming forward, they will seriously consider it. In the end, a considerable number of shipwrights came to Fushan City and joined Xue Zhidie's shipbuilding army.

Not to mention anything else, in Dengzhou City alone, there are many craftsmen who are idle and have nothing to do. Zhang Zhun had the golden sign of anti-thief hanging on the door of his head, and although they were excited, they never made up their minds to come here to make a living. However, with Sun Qinkai coming forward, it was different. The sons of the former governor are all working under Zhang Zhun, what are you hesitating about? Come here! If it's late, there's no good location!

As a result, in a very short period of time, hundreds of craftsmen in Dengzhou City took refuge in Fushan City. Their arrival has greatly strengthened Zhang Zhun's technical strength. Except for some craftsmen who participated in the research of cannon casting, other craftsmen were distributed in different industries. The technical strength of various industries has been enriched, and of course, it has brought about the improvement of production efficiency.

Among them, the most significant performance is the production capacity of tiger guns, which has increased from the original 30 per day to 40 per day. The production of gunpowder and mini bullets also expanded. The intensified production of weapons and equipment made it possible for Zhang Zhun to expand the army again. At the same time, the export of weapons became possible.

At the end of November, Zhang Zhun returned to Aoshan City.

As soon as I entered the White House, someone greeted me and said gently, "Master." ”

It was Liu Rus.

Compared with when she just arrived, Liu Ru was dressed up and looked more of a little woman. She was dressed in a white mink coat, and her long black hair hung smoothly behind her head like a waterfall. Dai's eyebrows are curved like a crescent moon, her eyes are black and bright, her nose is beautiful, her cherry lips are red, and her beautiful melon seeds face are white and red, delicate and soft, and she can be broken by blowing.

Zhang Zhun immediately thought of it, when Liu Ru must have been deliberately dressed up by Shen Lingfei, he would be sent to him. That's why Liu Ru seems to have such a sense of surname. In fact, the current Liu Rushi is the real Liu Rushi. She should belong to the cold category, and seduction is not his specialty.

Zhang Zhun nodded and asked casually, "Are you used to it?" ”

Liu replied in a low voice: "Habit." ”

Zhang Zhun didn't say anything and walked over directly.

Liu Ru followed behind and helped Brigadier Zhang take off his coat.

At this time, it is already the end of November, which belongs to the midwinter season, although there is no snow in Shandong for the time being, it is already quite cold. Laizhou Bay is said to have frozen. Zhang Zhun was riding a horse outside, so he naturally had to wear a few more coats. The coat of the Ming Dynasty is actually Qiu. The warm surname can be very good, but it is also a little bloated, and when you return home, you must take it off.

Liu Ru helped him take off his coat and hung it carefully.

The burden on Zhang Zhun was lightened, and he suddenly felt a lot more comfortable. He waved his hands vigorously, feeling really good at home. It's even better when someone is waiting for them to come home. I'm going to get married next year, and I can have a wife who is rightfully married. Well, it's nice to look forward to it. With a lady and a beautiful concubine, what more do you want?

looked around, and saw the white lady, so he asked, "Where is Xiaoyou?" ”

Liu Ru replied obediently: "Sister Lin is practicing swords?" ”

Zhang Zhun said with interest: "Really? Let's go, let's see. ”

The White Lady lives alone in the White House, with no worries about food and clothing, but she is always a little monotonous, and sword dancing has become her main hobby. When Zhang Zhun occasionally comes back to the White House, it is also a great pleasure to enjoy the white lady dancing the sword. Since the sword dance with the red lady that day, Zhang Zhun has become interested in sword dancing, and he has also come back with the white lady from time to time. When the love was strong, he naturally picked up the beauty and went straight to the bedroom, and went to Wushan**.

The two of them walked down the long corridor to the courtyard at the back. Sure enough, I heard the sword wind in the distance, and the sound of leaves being rolled up and scattered. Walking out of the corridor, I saw a white figure, flying up and down, which one is not the white lady? In fact, sword dancing is not the strength of the Red Lady, but the strength of the White Lady. The delicate white lady, when she dances the sword, her movements are quite fierce.

The White Lady didn't feel Zhang Zhun coming, and was reveling in her own world. The long sword in her hand is like a rainbow, constantly piercing the sky. Her life is simple, and it's easy to find fun for herself. Even if Zhang Zhun is not around, she will not have any sorrowful emotions. Of course, it would be better if Zhang Zhun was by her side.

Zhang Zhun looked at it with relish, and suddenly nodded thoughtfully. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the White Lady is a real practitioner. Perhaps, it is still the secret of the Red Sun Sect where she is located. However, after the appearance of muskets, the sword has gradually fallen behind. The White Lady's swordsmanship, no matter how powerful it is, is not as good as the eagle's eye.

Look at the women around her, elegant and quiet, but there are two huge contrasts. He has the impression that Liu Rushi should be extremely talented, whether it is poetry and songs, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, they are all quite outstanding. Even, in some political matters, there are unique opinions. She and the White Lady are obviously two completely different women.

Liu Ru found that Zhang Zhun was observing himself, and involuntarily drooped his head slightly, and his white and tender cheeks gradually floated under the glance of Zhang Zhun's two eyes, like a ripe apple, so delicate that it seemed to be able to pinch out the juice.

In Zhang Zhun's mind, four words suddenly popped up: I'll talk about it later.

Such a little beauty is rare, and she spent a lot of money to buy it back, but she can't let others take the lead! Of course, no one dares to take the lead in their own land! Unless, it's the other party who doesn't want to live!

Zhang Zhun looked at Liu Ruis with shining eyes, and asked bluntly: "If so, I will buy you here, are you willing?" ”

Liu Ru replied in a low voice: "The master redeemed the slave and maid from Qingfeng Pavilion, and the slave and maid have nothing to repay, and are willing to serve the master for life, just ask the master not to dislike the slave and maid." ”

Zhang Zhun nodded and said slowly: "Since you are willing, it will be easy to do." ”

Liu Ru replied in a low voice.

In fact, her heart is still a little sour. In the past few days, Liu Ru has tried her best to adapt herself to everything in front of her. With her efforts, she has adapted to Zhang Zhun a lot. However, Zhang Zhun is still not the ideal man in her mind. It's just that everything has become a fact, and there is no need for her to say anything more. From the moment Qingfeng Pavilion accepted Zhang Zhun's silver, she was destined to be Zhang Zhun's woman.

She is a weak woman, and her ability to resist is really limited. What's more, it's in Shandong, where people are not familiar with it. Zhang Zhun is surrounded by fierce soldiers, where can she hide? If it falls into the hands of those ruffians, I am afraid that life is worse than death. The only thing she can do is to hope that Zhang Zhun can give herself a little more warmth, a little pity, and not treat herself so roughly.

The sound of the two talking alarmed the white lady who was dancing the sword. The white lady immediately put away her sword, and the whole person threw herself into Zhang Zhun's arms, her face was red, and she said happily: "Brother Yulin, you are back." ”

Zhang Zhun kissed her on the cheek and said affectionately, "Miss me?" ”

The White Lady did not shy away from Liu Ru being by her side, entangled with Zhang Zhun warmly, and said in a whisper: "I want to die, I think about it every day, I think about it all the time." ”

Zhang Zhun said with a smile: "What do you want me?" ”

The white lady blushed, full of tenderness, and said honestly: "I think of everything." ”

Zhang Zhun said with a smile: "I miss you too." Let's go, go back to dinner. I'll treat you well in the evening. ”

The white lady reluctantly slipped out of his arms.

Liu Rus's face turned slightly red, pretending not to hear anything.

Zhang Zhun put his arm around the white lady's waist and went back to the living room, and Liu Ru followed quietly behind.

The three of them returned to the living room, and Zhang Zhuncai let go of his hand.

Meals were served quickly.

In the White House, there were no servants and servants, only a dozen uncles and aunts. They are all relatives of the backbone military families of Aoshan City, and they were specially selected to serve the White House. Their loyalty is completely trustworthy. For example, Aunt Chen, who cooks, is Shi Zhenshan's eldest daughter-in-law, and her skills are actually not good, so people can rest assured.

Zhang Zhun sat down and picked up the dishes and chopsticks to eat.

The white lady sat next to him, looking at the dishes on the table, as if she had no appetite, so she drank a little soup. In fact, there are quite a lot of meals, four meat dishes, two vegetarian dishes, and one soup. It's just that the White Lady doesn't seem to have any appetite lately, she can't eat anything, and she doesn't know what the reason is. Zhang Zhun was busy with a lot of things during this time, and his nerves were relatively big, so he didn't pay attention to it.

Liu Ru hesitated, standing on the edge of the table, not knowing what to do. In large families in the south of the Yangtze River, ordinary concubines are not allowed to eat with the master. Unless it is with the special permission of the master. The richer the family, the more they pay attention to the rules. Small families don't have so many rules. However, Zhang Zhun is an official of Zhengsanpin, and he can be regarded as a big family.

The status between the concubine and the wife is actually very large. The statement of three wives and four concubines is very incorrect. The ancients had only one wife at any time. Unless the wife is dead, or divorced, the string can be continued. The benefits that a wife can enjoy, but the concubines do not have. Especially in terms of edicts, concubines don't even think about it.

Some concubines, to put it mildly, are actually just maids who have a ** relationship with the master. Many large families in Jiangnan, the singer who bought it back, because she was young and beautiful, was taken by the master, and she was soon asked for her body. It's just that after being pampered, the singer is still a singer, and she doesn't have any reputation. She lives in Qingfeng Pavilion, and I don't know how much she has seen this kind of thing. In addition to sighing, he can only silently accept this reality.

Zhang Zhun inadvertently raised his head, saw that Liu Ru was still standing, and said casually: "You're not hungry?" ”

The white lady also said: "Sister Liu, he is different from other masters, he doesn't have so many rules, sit down and eat." Anyway, you and we are both family, so what are you doing with restraint? If you don't eat it, he won't ask you to eat it. Maybe you haven't started eating yet, and he's done with it. ”

Liu Ru was relieved and agreed to sit down.

Zhang Zhun really buried his head in eating and didn't say a word.

Eating silently, sleeping silently, Zhang Zhun didn't know these two sentences. However, the habit I had developed in the army in the past was that I could eat within three minutes. After coming to this world, it was a little slower, but within five minutes, it was basically done.

Liu Ru picked up the chopsticks, only ate a few bites of food, and suddenly saw Brigadier Zhang put the dishes and chopsticks down, as if he was full. She is used to standing up and waiting for Zhang Zhun, but she doesn't know what Zhang Zhun wants. At the same time, she also felt so strange, this meal was okay, how could Zhang Zhun be like a fight, and finish it in two bites?

The white lady smiled and said, "Sister Liu, leave him alone, he is like a whirlwind." No matter what kind of food, it is as if he has a grudge, and he will destroy it all in three strokes and two strokes. The two of us ate slowly. ”

Liu Ru turned around and wanted to give Zhang Zhun mouthwash.

Zhang Zhun said, "You eat." ”

Liu Ru is going to continue.

Zhang Zhun said, "You eat." ”

Liu Ru was a little unsure of what to do.

The white lady smiled and said, "Sister Liu, I said, you don't care about him, he will do it himself." He, the master, is very different from other masters. In general, our master does it himself, and he doesn't ask anyone for anything. ”

Liu Ru had no choice but to sit back in his seat obediently and eat slowly with his rice bowl. What the food tasted like, Liu Ru basically didn't notice. Because, her mind is all on Zhang Zhun's body. She has to observe this man well and try to adapt to this man. As a result, out of the corner of her eye, she saw that sure enough, Zhang Zhun simply rinsed his mouth by himself, and then wiped his cheeks. During this time, he never said anything.

She found more and more that when she was with Zhang Zhun, she really couldn't adapt to Zhang Zhun's behavior. For example, let's eat here, big families, they all pay attention to not getting tired of eating, not getting tired of eating, and eating must be swallowed and chewed slowly, how can Zhang Zhun be like this, like a tiger going down the mountain, three times and two times to finish it? Isn't he afraid of getting sick?

After washing his hands, Zhang Zhun took a walk in the courtyard outside the dining room.

After a hundred steps after dinner, he lived to ninety-nine, Zhang Zhun still believed in this sentence. At the same time, walking is also a good way to think about problems. As a human being, there are thousands of things that need to be dealt with, how can you be busy without a clear mind and a healthy body?

Liu Ruye's eyes always couldn't help but glance at Zhang Zhun's shadow, as for whether he was full or not, he didn't feel it at all. The white lady beside her only drank half a bowl of soup and had no appetite.
