Zou Tai returned to Fushun, and after he got the news that Fushun had lifted the siege, he almost galloped over. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 When setting off, Zou Tai's impatience made Chen Fuke a little puzzled, and Chen Fuke even persuaded him that the Tartars had just retreated, and the road was not smooth.

Zou Tai wouldn't tell Chen Fuke what he thought, Zou Tai kept urging people to prepare people. Master Liu on the side kept giving his eyes, and Chen Fuke, who was originally a little confused, finally understood. Chen Fuke didn't say anything, and hurriedly helped Zou Tai gather the craftsmen and soldiers, and sent him to Fushun.

When Zou Tai arrived in Fushun, it was already evening, and he didn't bother Shen Jia. In the early morning of the next day, Zou Taicai sent someone to tell Shen Jia that the craftsman he wanted had been found. Shen Jia hurriedly prepared a gift to thank Zou Tai, but after Zou Tai received the gift, he retreated intact, and brought back a sentence by the way: "I heard that Shen Shoubei gunpowder is very powerful, I don't know if there is a secret recipe to offer to the imperial court?" ”

Fortunately, Shen Jia had already prepared, he personally came to visit Zou Tai, and immediately said after meeting: "This gunpowder is very powerful, the configuration is extremely dangerous, it is very easy to explode when it encounters heat and vibration, it is no problem for me to offer the secret recipe, but don't rely on me if something happens." ”

Zou Tai's eyes narrowed, knowing that this kid wanted to clear up the relationship, so he pulled the male duck's throat and said: "Shen Shoubei don't have to worry, Xu Shilang is recuperating in Tianjin at this time, and his disciple Sun Yuanhua is also quite capable, presumably your formula can't stop them, don't worry, I will take care of it if something happens, and I won't affect you." ”

Shen Jia dedicated the production process to Zou Tai, but he omitted the role of explosion-proof clothing. After all, there are only two things in this thing, and if they are taken away by the eunuch of this chicken thief, he can only cry without tears.

After Zou Tai got the secret recipe, he pretended to be a professional and looked at it twice, and sighed: "Shen Shoubei's process diagram is so detailed, but this length ratio does not seem to be the same as the Ming measurement. ”

Shen Jia secretly scolded this eunuch for his vicious eyes, and hurriedly offered an iron ruler, using this 50 cm iron ruler as an example, Shen Jia explained the conversion of centimeters, millimeters and meters.

After speaking, Zou Taicai handed over a group of craftsmen to Shen Jia. This time, Zou Tai collected more than 200 craftsmen from outside the Guan, most of whom had experience in making firecrackers. For Shen Jia, this is tantamount to solving an urgent need. At the same time, Zou Tai used the name of the eunuch to loot tens of thousands of catties of saltpeter from Shenyang, which made Shen Jia, who gave the secret recipe for explosives, slightly feel that the deal was worth it.

Shen Jia brought a group of artisans to Wang Erhu, and he was responsible for settling the artisans and their families with accommodation and food. Most of these artisans were destitute, and they followed Wang Erhu with a blank expression, thinking that they were in a new labor workshop.

Shen Jia didn't have time to get close to the craftsman's door for the time being, he had to go to the West Market to find Uncle Gui. He Qu Xiaojia hurried to the West Market, but met Uncle Gui halfway. It seems that the matter has been settled, otherwise Uncle Gui would not have come back so early.

"Uncle, are there still beef cattle and sheep for sale in the market these days?"

Uncle Gui always gives people the impression of a good man, he is sleek and does not lose inches, and his speech is also simple and unpretentious. Hearing Shen Jia ask him, Uncle Gui hurriedly said:

"Yes, Fushun has been fighting a war during this time, there are not many people who buy things, and many merchants are eager to get rid of the goods in their hands, and the price is even lower than a few days ago."

"Uncle Gui, that's good, you go buy some cattle and sheep again, I estimate that the company that went to Tieling tomorrow will come back, and the regiment will celebrate, and it is really impossible to say that there is no meat."

"Young Master Shen, the family has been spending a lot of money these days, and it can't go on like this, we have to save some expenses, otherwise I'm afraid it won't last long."

Shen Jia was stunned, he recently handed over all the money and belongings in his family to Wu Shihan for management, and he had been taking care of spending money, and he didn't ask about the balance at all. Wu Shihan can only take care of it behind his back, and many things need to be done by Uncle Gui, so it must be not difficult to know some financial situations.

"Uncle Gui, don't be in a hurry, I'll go back and ask Miss Wu, and then make a decision after discussion, if it really doesn't work, I'll exchange it for food." It's just that now Fushun City is strictly investigated, and they prohibit the loss of grain to the outside world, and it is best not to trade grain unless it is a last resort. ”

Uncle Gui nodded, he is old and sophisticated, and these things can be understood without saying.

Shen Jia went to the barracks and asked Wu Zhiwen for half a day off. Wu Zhiwen is Wu Shihan's brother after all, even if he is addicted to gambling, Shen Jia has no reason to prevent other brothers and sisters from seeing each other. Wu Zhiwen has performed well during this time, and it is time for Wu Shihan to meet his brother.

After settling down, Shen Jia and his party rushed home.

Walking on the bustling street, Wu Zhiwen felt like returning to the world. Some shops on both sides of the street opened one after another to welcome customers, and when passing by a gambling house, Wu Zhiwen couldn't help but take a look.

"Hey, I said uncle!"

Qu Xiaojia walked in front, and when he heard Shen Jia calling him, he hurriedly turned around and responded: "Shen Jia, are you looking for me?" ”

"No, no, you go first, I'll talk to the person next to me."

Shen Jia was careless for a while, but he didn't expect that the two eldest brothers were walking on the street together today, and there were not many opportunities like this.

"Angkor, what's the matter, you want to gamble again?"

Looking at Shen Jia's disdainful face, Wu Zhiwen replied lightly: "No, I'm just taking a casual look." ”

"It's good that you didn't go, my camp is forbidden to gamble, you must have heard of Zhu Wanliang in Shenyang last time, if you are caught gambling by a group of people, cut off your head and corporal punishment, I can't stop it."

After speaking, Shen Jia smiled at Wu Zhiwen. Wu Zhiwen was slightly unhappy, and said in his heart, you kid also look down on me. What I Wu Zhiwen said, it doesn't count when it happens. Wu Zhiwen kept secretly scolding this bastard for being shameless, and arrived home in a short time.

Wu Shihan had already learned that his brother was returning today, so he had been waiting in the front yard for a long time. Seeing Wu Zhiwen coming in, Wu Shihan looked intently, but saw that his brother, who had been languishing in the past, although he had lost a lot of weight, his body was strong and his spirit had changed.

Wu Shihan's nose was sour, and he was about to open his mouth to ask for warmth, but Wu Zhiwen said: "Stop, stop quickly, sister, don't ask, if you want to ask, just ask the one in your house, he deliberately corrected me." ”

After speaking, Wu Zhiwen pointed his finger at Shen Jia on the side. Shen Jia smiled slightly at Wu Shihan's embarrassed gaze, he was thick-skinned and didn't care about other people's worldly eyes.

Shen Jia turned to Wu Zhiwen with a wicked smile and said: "Brother Ang, I found that you have always been full of spirit in front of Shihan, why didn't I find you so arrogant in the camp, since this is the case, it is better to give you some more when I go back." ”

"Ah, brother-in-law, let's get home today, don't talk about the troubles outside, do you have anything to eat here, fun, get me some, I've been suffocated in the barracks recently."

Wu Shihan's face was flushed, and he couldn't listen to it anymore after staying for a while, so he hurriedly fled back to the backyard under the pretext that something was wrong.

After a while, the maid Xiaotao sent a cake made by Wen Qing. The shape of this cake was not done, so Wen Qing simply let everyone taste it first. The cake was mixed with cream, and Wen Qing added a lot of sucrose, and the wonderful sweetness and softness of the cake made everyone feast, and they praised Wen Qing's good craftsmanship. Wu Zhiwen used the skills he had cultivated in the army in recent days, and he ate extremely fast, his two cheeks bulging, and his mouth was full of white cream.

Wu Zhiwen, who was bored and eating, raised his head and was about to take a little breath, but this strange appearance was seen by Xiao Tao, who was about to collapse to the ground with laughter, and He Yuefen, who was on the side, helped her.

"Young master, it's only been less than a month, why did you become like this, fortunately you are not a scholar, otherwise you would really sweep the floor."

Wu Zhiwen's appetite has increased greatly these days, and after he sent a few mouthfuls to his mouth, he muttered: "It's not Shen Jia's harm, look at me, people have lost weight like this, and they have suffered this kind of hardship when they were clothed and fed." ”

Xiao Tao didn't answer, she pursed her lips and smiled slightly, her young master's bones are not clear to others, but Xiao Tao is backwards.

In the evening, the silversmith's shop sent five pairs of gold steps. Originally, Shen Jia planned to make four pairs, but there were a lot of materials left, so Shen Jia simply asked the boss to build five pairs. The war in Fushun continued, and the business of the silversmith shop was bleak. Finally received a big customer, this silversmith shop was fully staffed, and it was actually done in one day, and even Shen Jia had to be amazed by this efficiency. However, these golden step hairpin flowers are relatively simple, not as cumbersome and complicated as Shen Jia imagined.

Before dinner, Shen Jia personally gave Wen Qing one. Wen Qing looked unhappy, she felt that Shen Jia had made this hairpin too rough and had no sincerity at all.

Shen Jia cried with a sad face, and in desperation, he had to point to Wen Qing's short hair and said: "Senior sister, your hair can't be tied into a bun, you are just pretending to hold this golden step, you can accept it when you see it, don't be embarrassed for me." ”

"Okay, you Shen Jia, you deliberately made trouble for me, I'll tell Xiao Yi the truth and let her see your hypocritical face."

Shen Jia was in a hurry, and hurriedly grabbed Wen Qing's sleeve and said: "Senior sister, just spare me, there is only one silversmith shop left in Fushun, the master has escaped, just a boss with a group of apprentices, it is good for him to build this, you take it first, and when you have the opportunity to go to Shenyang, I will help you get one again, this will be fine." ”

Seeing that Shen Jia was soft, Wen Qing raised her head proudly, and walked into the back room quickly with a hairpin.

Qu Xiaoyi is obviously a good talker. After she received Shen Jia's gift, she carefully opened the package, and when she saw a golden hairpin, Qu Xiaoyi couldn't help but admire, and then smiled at Shen Jia.

"Xiao Yi, tomorrow is your birthday, I have made a few hairpins, this is the best one among them, as a birthday gift for you. Seriously, this hairpin is more ordinary, Wen Qing is not good-looking, you will use it first, and when I have time to go to Shenyang, find a silversmith and then create a better one for you. ”

Qu Xiaoyi lost her parents since she was a child, and her life was simple and simple, she never thought that one day someone would give her a golden step. When a scene in the dream was released in reality, Qu Xiaoyi's tears couldn't help but roll down like beads with broken threads.

Shen Jia was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "Xiao Yi, you don't need to cry to show me, I am kind enough to give you a hairpin, is it possible that you want me to kowtow to you?" ”

Qu Xiaoyi was amused by Shen Jia's scoundrel appearance, and couldn't help but burst into tears and laughed: "I know that you have a poor mouth, and you always bully me every time you come here, and I don't know what will happen in the future." ”

Shen Jia smiled, quickly covered up his embarrassment and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely offer you like a god in the future, and I will never let you be tired and bullied." ”

After speaking, Shen Jia took out another golden step shake from his sleeve and handed it to Qu Xiaoyi: "This one is for your brother, Brother Xiao Jia and He Yuefen have been in love for many days, you can bring this hairpin to Brother Xiao Jia to enhance the relationship between the two of them, just rely on this hairpin." ”

"you, just say some witty things, it's not serious at all."

Qu Xiaoyi blushed, and was about to pick up the golden step on the table, but unexpectedly, Shen Jia saw Qu Xiaoyi coming over, took the opportunity to quickly peck Qu Xiaoyi lightly on the cheek, and walked out of the room quickly in laughter.

Qu Xiaoyi's face was angry, and he was about to count Shen Jia, when he suddenly remembered that if his brother and Sister Yufen got married as soon as possible, wouldn't it be his turn next? Qu Xiaoyi's right hand was lightly covered on his cheek, and his face was full of smiles.

Shen Jia handed another hairpin to Wu Shihan. Wu Shihan wanted to take it quietly, but was seen by the sharp-eyed Wu Zhiwen. Wu Zhiwen has been influenced by his family background since he was a child, and this item has long been common, and he has a vicious eye.

Seeing that Shen Jia took an ordinary hairpin to his sister, Wu Zhiwen's temper suddenly came up, and he said meanly: "Brother-in-law, you don't want to take this ordinary hairpin, just want to cheat my sister away, this hairpin is ordinary, you might as well send me a gold ingot directly, maybe I will help you say a few good words." ”

Wu Shihan swept at Wu Zhiwen with cold eyes, Wu Zhiwen said half of it, and immediately shut up.

Shen Jia patiently explained to Wu Shihan again, Wu Shihan said with a smile: "Brother Shen doesn't have to be polite, I can receive your gift, Shihan is already satisfied, Brother Shen doesn't have to think about it." ”

Wu Zhiwen complained to himself on the side, fortunately it was his sister, if it was someone else, I am afraid that he would have to scold the dog man and woman.

After Shen Jia came out, she happened to see the maid Ruyi in the corridor, this little girl was well-behaved and clever, and she had been taking care of her daily life, and the last hairpin was simply given to her. Shen Jia stopped Ruyi, stuffed her with a hairpin, and then turned to leave.
