Wu Jin finally woke up to a melodious pipa sound, the sky was already bright, and the beautiful woman beside him was nowhere to be seen.

"Jing Niang!"

He shouted in a low voice, the sound of the pipa stopped, the sound of footsteps sounded, Jing Niang walked into the room quickly, she had washed and dressed, changed into a yellow dress, wore a shirt on her upper body, her face was full of happy smiles, and her pretty face was dazzling.

"Childe, don't look at people like this."

She saw Wu Jin staring at her with blazing eyes, she blushed and lowered her head shyly, Wu Jin saw her shyness, and almost had an urge to press her again, just twice a night, and he was a little unbearable.

"I'm going to get up!"

"Okay."

Jing Niang immediately got busy, she was Wujin's concubine, that is, she served him in his daily life, she first brought the urinal, served him to the toilet, helped him dress, and brought water to wash him and comb his hair.

These Wujin are all comfortable to accept, although he doesn't like maids to serve him, but if he meets a woman he likes, he will also accept the woman's service, which does not want to be an outlier in this era.

He liked Jing Niang's very much, although she was pampered by herself last night, she was not spoiled and coquettish, she still served him wholeheartedly, and did not ask him that she was already a concubine, should there be two more maids in the room? She didn't even have that in mind.

"Jing Niang, do you want to add two more maids to the room?" Wu Jin thought about her sake.

Jing Niang was combing his hair, this sentence shocked her body, she slowly lowered her head, "Childe thinks I didn't serve well?" ”

Wu Jin saw that she had a misunderstanding, so he hurriedly hugged her waist and hugged her in his arms, "No, I see that you are busy alone, and I want the maid to share a little for you." ”

"Childe really doesn't dislike me?"

"How so?"

Wu Jin hugged her on his lap, kissed her pink face, and teased: "You serve so well, the bed is better, I can't hurt you, how can I hate you?" ”

Jing Niang lowered her head, happy and shy in her heart, she whispered: "If Gongzi feels sorry for me, then don't let others serve, just let me be alone." ”

Wu Jin raised her chin and said softly, "Are you afraid that someone else will replace you?" ”

Jing Niang nodded, "I'm afraid that Childe doesn't want me." ”

"No, I'm more nostalgic and won't change things easily, including women, of course, but you're free, if you're unhappy one day, you can leave me."

Jing Niang was startled, she stood up and said in a trembling voice: "Did Childe say that my surname is Yang Hua?" ”

She knelt down, aggrieved tears welled up from her eyes, and said in a choked voice: "Although the concubine is a happy person, she also knows the word honesty and shame, a woman marries a chicken with a chicken, marries a dog with a dog, and when she ends with the beginning, how can she do that kind of shameless thing, if the son is a little disgusted with me and gives me away, I would rather die in front of the son than from others." ”

Wu Jin didn't expect that his joking words would cause her to react so violently, he quickly pulled her up, hugged her in his arms and coaxed her, "I just want to tell you, you are not a maid, you are my concubine, and you will be one of my wives in the future, and you will have children for me, where do you think?" ”

Jing Niang hugged his neck and cried, "Childe, I am willing to have children for you, I just ask Childe not to drive me away." ”

Wujin is a little helpless, he can be regarded as a teacher, once a woman in this era gives her body to you, she will regard you as the whole of her life, especially Jing Niang's surname is more cowardly, she regards herself as the master of her destiny, and she must not talk nonsense in the future.

"Don't think about it anymore, I will never drive you away, comb my hair!"

"Hmm!"

Jing Niang stood up, wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and began to comb his hair carefully, Wu Jin casually took her pipa from the table, and saw that the pipa was very delicately made, and the wood was very new, like a newly made thing.

"Childe, that's what my uncle did." Jing Niang laughed behind him.

"Oh! Isn't your uncle a famous musician? Can you still make musical instruments? Wu Jin asked curiously.

"My uncle was originally a musician, and later became a musician, and all our instruments were made by him, and the instruments he made were masterpieces, but unfortunately no one knew the goods."

Wu Jin took a closer look at this pipa and found that one of the copper accessories on the pipa was very similar to the part he wanted, and his heart moved, the thing he wanted to make was worried that he could not find a craftsman who could be trusted, Jing Niang's uncle would make musical instruments, and that would definitely make his things.

"Jing Niang, how is your uncle? I forgot to ask you last night? ”

"My uncle has been released from prison, and the government has found him innocent, and he has moved yesterday morning, and the old man has rewarded us with a house."

"Later, you can take me to see them."

"Isn't Childe going to the barracks soon?"

"I'll go back to the barracks in the afternoon, it's not in the way."

Wu Jin took out a stack of sketches from the cabinet, he was already a little impatient, "Jing Niang, let's go now." ”

．．．．．．．． The house that the king of Lanling County gave to Jingniang's uncle and aunt is located in Jixian Fang, only a small house covering an area of two acres, the house has two entrances, more than 20 rooms, there are yards in front and back, and there is an old locust tree in the backyard for decades.

In the morning, the carriage of the Lanling Mansion slowly stopped in front of the house, the door of the house opened, and the cousin of Jingniang heard the sound of the wheels, and looked out, and she saw the cousin who was getting off the carriage at a glance.

"Cousin!"

She screamed happily and rushed out, but stopped all of a sudden, she saw Wu Jin, Jing Niang's cousin is called Ah Bao, she is very delicate and well-behaved, she stepped forward and saluted Wu Jin, "See Childe!" ”

Wujin had already seen her the day before yesterday, when she was frightened and didn't say hello at all, he saw that Jing Niang's cousin was very smart, and he liked it in his heart, so he took out a sea pearl the size of a pigeon's egg from his arms, handed it to her and smiled: "I will give you a meeting gift." ”

"This...."

Ah Bao didn't dare to accept it, and looked at her cousin as if asking for help, Jing Niang saw that Wujin did not despise her family, she was happy in her heart, so she nodded to her cousin, saying that she could accept it, Ah Bao took the pearl shyly, she saw that Haizhu was bright and round, and she liked it very much, she grew so big, and she had never had such a good thing, she hurriedly gave a salute, "Thank you, son!" ”

"You're welcome, Miss Bao, how are your parents?"

"Mother is much better, father is still recuperating in bed, son, please come into the house!"

Wu Jin and the two sisters walked into the small courtyard, just as Jing Niang's aunt came out of the kitchen, her illness was actually bloody, stopped the bleeding, and got good medicine to nourish her, her body recovered quickly, and she was able to get up and cook.

Jing Niang's aunt's surname is Wang, when she was young, she was a famous music girl in Ruyin County, she was very beautiful, she was favored by a local big family, and wanted to marry her as a concubine, but she resolutely refused, but married her lover, that is, Jing Niang's uncle, although the son lived a very difficult life, but the husband and wife were affectionate, and the relationship was very good.

This time, her family suffered a great disaster, if it weren't for Wu Jin's rescue, not only would her husband's life be difficult to protect, but the fate of their mother and daughter would also be very tragic, which made her heart full of gratitude to Wu Jin.

Wang saw Wu Jin at a glance, although she had not seen Wu Jin, but she saw Jing Niang holding his hand intimately, she immediately knew that this was the benefactor who had arrived, and she immediately knelt down for Wu Jin, "Engong accepts my salute!" ”

This is the most uncomfortable thing about Wujin, he knelt down to thank him at every turn, making him very uncomfortable, he hurriedly gave Jing Niang a look, Jing Niang understood, stepped forward to help his aunt up, and whispered to her: "Uncle, don't be polite in the future, everyone is their own people." ”

Wang saw that Jing Niang did not wear makeup, but her face was delicate and abnormal, she was a person who came over, and immediately understood in her heart that this was a moisturized face, and she was happy for her, but she was still a little guilty, and she thought that Jing Niang was committed to Wujin in order to save them.

She actually thought correctly, at the beginning, Jing Niang was indeed preparing to sacrifice herself to save her uncle, but later Jing Niang's delicate psychological changes were not something that Wang could understand.

Wang hurriedly smiled and said, "Childe hasn't eaten yet!" ”

"Thank you, aunt, just get a little bit of it!"

The title of Wujin made Jing Niang's heart jump suddenly, she was suddenly surprised and delighted, Childe was also called Auntie, that is to say, Childe really wants to give her a name in the future, most of the woman's thoughts are delicate, and she will find the answer she expects from these subtleties, which makes her nose sour, and tears of joy almost fell.

She hurriedly took Wu Jin's hand, "Childe, I'll take you to see your uncle." ”

Wu Jin nodded, he carried a long black bag in his hand, followed Jing Niang into the backyard, and walked into a room, the room was filled with a strong smell of plaster, a middle-aged man was half lying on the bed, the man was very handsome, and he looked good, and he knew that he was a decent person at a glance.

"Uncle!" Jing Niang hurriedly stepped forward and smiled: "It seems to be much better today." ”

Jingniang lost her father at the age of eight, lost her mother at the age of ten, and her uncle raised her for seven years.

Jing Niang's uncle's surname is Chen, his stage name is Chen Jin, he is ingenious, he is a famous musician in Ruyin County, he is fine, but his legs were injured by the stick, and he can't move for the time being.

Although he is a musician, he is very knowledgeable, seeing that Wujin has an extraordinary temperament, and guessing that he is the benefactor who saved himself, Chen Jinjin hurriedly struggled to sit up, Wujin gently pressed him, "Uncle doesn't need to get up, take a good rest!" ”

Chen Jinjin was stunned for a moment, he saw that his niece's face was a little shy and twisted, and he understood in his heart, he was a reasonable person, knowing that he was not grateful for his great kindness, and he would remember it in his heart if he was kind to them, so he smiled and nodded, "Jing Niang can be with Gongzi, it is her blessing." ”

Wu Jin saw that he was very easy-going, and he had a good impression of him in his heart, he was about to find a stool to sit down, Jing Niang had already moved a chair and put it next to the bed, "Childe, you talk to your uncle, and I'll help my uncle cook." ”

Jing Niang went out, and only Wu Jin and Chen Jin were left in the room, Wu Jin smiled: "I don't know what my uncle's plans are in the future?" ”

Chen Jinjin sighed, "The righteousness of the prince and the prince has given me the opportunity to start a business at the age of forty, and I plan to open a musical instrument shop in the capital." ”

"Have you considered the location of the store?"

Chen Jinjin thought for a while and said: "If it is possible, I want to find a shop near Nanshi to make musical instruments, the key is the reputation and reputation of the industry, the location of the store is not important, first do it slowly, and you will have a harvest after a year or two." ”

"It's better to be in Nanshi, Nanshi is a musical instrument store, although my uncle went to find a store, the cost is not enough for me to post, my opinion is that either don't do it, if you want to do it at the beginning, you have to make it bigger, and wait for a year or two, and your hair will be boiled white."

Chen Jinjin smiled bitterly, although he was not magnificent, he could no longer accept favors.

At this time, Wu Jin smiled again: "I have one thing, although it is not a musical instrument, but the workmanship is basically similar to a musical instrument, can you trouble my uncle to try to make one for me." ”

Saying that, he handed a stack of sketches to Chen Jinsami, Chen Jinsatin looked at the sketches carefully, he had never seen anything on the sketches, Wu Jin painted a flintlock smoothbore gun, this is something that the Daning Dynasty has never had, he has broken down in detail, each part has a pattern, the size and size are very accurate, he can draw, but he does not have this craft, Chen Jinsatin's musical instrument is very exquisite, and the small copper parts on the pipa are simply like digital machine tools, which fully meet his requirements.

What's more, he can trust Chen Jin, he will do it for himself, and this secret will not be leaked out.

Although Chen Jinjin didn't know what it was, he could make it, so he nodded, "At most, I can do it in half a month." ”

Wu Jin pondered for a moment, and then said slowly: "This thing is very important, except for you and me, even my aunt can't know about it, it is related to my surname." ”

Chen Jinjin nodded solemnly, "Don't worry, Childe, we are a family, and your surname is our surname." ”

Wu Jin put the long and heavy black bag on the table, and there was a sound of steel pipes hitting inside, he opened the bag and took out two steel pipes and two copper pipes from inside, which he accidentally bought at the armory shop on the way to the jewelry store last time, and steel pipes are the key to making guns.

The reason why the gun of history did not appear before the Yuan and Ming dynasties was largely due to the inability to cast qualified steel pipes.

Wu Jin has carefully looked at the pipe, both copper pipes and steel pipes meet the requirements, this was originally used to blow pipe arrows, the inner wall of the pipe is polished very smooth with water and fine iron sand, Wu Jin himself has also tried to make guns, there is no problem with gunpowder in this era, the key is the accessories, which requires high precision, and his process technology is too far behind, and he has failed several times.

In addition to the barrel, there are also several sections of jujube wood, which are used to make the butt and body of the gun, in addition to the copper rough blank of important parts such as buckle springs, buckle reeds, powder pools, striking irons, triggers, and even a piece of flint.

Wu Jin had collected an old-fashioned flintlock pistol in his previous life, and he knew these parts well, but if he was asked to make an arquebus, he wouldn't, he had never seen an arquebus.

He took out everything and put it on the table, showed him one by one, put it back in his bag, and said with a smile: "All the ingredients you need are in this bag." ”
