Zhou Jin glanced at the clothes on the ground, and immediately shouted loudly: "Where are you going to be lazy again?" I can't find anyone even if I want to change my clothes! ”

Sure enough, Qingyun was frightened, and she replied weakly, as for her question just now, she had already guessed what it was, but this kind of thing was not something she could manage: "We all went to Miss Yu's yard to help." ”

"Why don't you put your clothes away!" Under Aunt You's service, Zhou Jin put on his clothes. Without looking at the two of them again, he snorted and went out.

"But it's a good thing to bump into you, so angry." Qingyun looked at Zhou Jin's back and complained.

Aunt You's face became even more ruddy, and she suppressed the fire in her heart and said, "I'm going to my son's place again." I'll go first. Then he quickly left the bedroom.

Zhou Jin is very uncomfortable now, and his heart is as uncomfortable as being scratched by a cat. He kept taking deep breaths, trying to dispel the anger in his heart. But when he entered Li Yu's room, the life that was about to be dispersed burned again.

At this time, there were four young women sitting in Li Yu's room, and since they were all in the boudoir, they were dressed relatively loosely, and the activities inevitably leaked out of spring.

Zhou Jin didn't dare to enter the room, so he called Li Yu out.

"I see you have a lot of stuff piled up, all of which you bought today?" Zhou Jin sat down at the table with his own thoughts, poured a cup of herbal tea and poured it down.

"This tea is cold, and you drink it." Li Yu complained, "Yujuan, go make tea." ”

"Don't bother." As far as Zhou Jin's body is hot now, he still dares to drink hot tea, "Yu'er, what did you buy today?" ”

"Today I mainly bought some sacrifices and gifts."

Zhou Jin looked at the several boxes of items, but he didn't expect her to buy so many things in one day, and he felt helpless for a while: "These can be purchased when we arrive in Ji'an." Yu'er, Ji'an is not very peaceful, there are many bandits, so we can't bring too much luggage, so as not to attract the attention of bandits. ”

Zhou Jin said: "This time we will stay in Ji'an for a long time, and we will have a lot of our own daily luggage. ”

"Ahh But I've already bought it. Li Yu said.

"Then you can pick up some special gifts." Zhou Jin looked at the boxes again and said.

"Also, you give me a list of the ancestors of the Li family, as well as a list of the current clansmen." Zhou Jin said, "Give it to me tomorrow." Today, the lord is in a bad mood and doesn't dare to stay long, so I'll go back to read first. ”

Zhou Jin was afraid of Zhou Pan, but the aroma emanating from Li Yu's body made him feel uneasy.

As soon as I arrived at the door, I met a light cloud that followed.

Zhou Jin said fiercely to Qingyun: "You and Huan'er, help Yu'er sort out the gifts." If you are lazy again, wait for the lady to clean you up. ”

Zhou Jin threw down the stunned women and strode away from Li Yu's courtyard, only thinking about completing what he hadn't done just now.

Then, it is not appropriate for Zhou Jin to have sex today. When he just wanted to enter the courtyard, Zhou Hong's wife Zhou Wang stopped him. Zhou Jin had already seen her at dinner yesterday. So he stood and looked at the woman.

"Young master, my man said that the person you asked him to find, he has already found it, let you go and see."

Zhou Jin was surprised, Zhou Hong was too anxious this time, and he found it so quickly? Coming to the flower hall next to the second hall in the front yard, Zhou Jin saw that Zhou Hong had brought a man in his forties wearing a short shirt and long pants.

"So fast? Where to find it? Zhou Jin said in surprise.

"Young master, this is Liu Quan, a carpenter who repairs furniture at home." Zhou Hong said, "Liu Quan has been in the Zhou family for more than 20 years, and he is loyal and honest. His daughter-in-law was a gardener in the inner house. So he is reliable. ”

What Zhou Jin has to do is a weapon, and if it is not reliable, things may leak. And the imperial court forbade the common people to hold weapons, especially bows and crossbows.

Zhou Jin first asked about what Liu Quanquan could do to figure out his technical situation. Then he began to explain what Liu Quan was going to do.

It's also strange that after Zhou Jin entered the technical state, the messy things in his heart disappeared without a trace in an instant.

"What I want you to make is also a crossbow. I'm going to Ji'an in a few days, and I have to prepare weapons to guard against bandits, so don't worry about any trouble coming your way. Zhou Jin told Liu Quan his intention first.

"Yes." Liu Quan honestly burst out such a word.

"Although we don't want to do murder and steal goods, you also have to pay attention to confidentiality, and no one can tell anyone, including your family, if you can do it."

"Yes." Liu Quan is another word.

"Hey, one word at a time!"

"Young master, he's like this, one word for half a day." Zhou Hong said. After hearing this, Liu Quan smiled at Zhou Jin.

"Well, listen, the crossbow I want you to make is like this, listen. The crossbow arm is made of bamboo, not too thick, and it can be bent for twenty or thirty catties. Find three of the same thickness, shorten the length at once, tie them tightly, and be sure to ensure that they are in a good position when bending. This serves as an arm. After Zhou Jin finished speaking, he looked at Liu Quan and waited for him to digest.

"The little one understands, remembers." Liu Quan thought for a while and said.

Zhou Jin is very pleased, this person is a technician, and he will definitely be able to complete the work he assigned.

"The crossbow string is mechanically stretched. Underneath the front end of the crossbow, you attach a larger gear and a rotating handle at the center of the gear, which is twice as long as the diameter of the gear. Attach a smaller gear under the rear end of the crossbow. You connect the two gears with a chain and pull a slip around the pinion. ”

"Remember!" Liu Quan said.

"Well, the slide can be pulled backwards and push the crossbow string away. For the rest of the place, you can do it according to the general crossbow, pay attention to perfection, and when you are done, you will come to me. I'll see how it works. Zhou Jin said, "Zhou Hong, find him a carpentry room and let him go there to work?" ”

Of course, Zhou Hong understood what Zhou Jin meant, that is, to ensure that Liu Quan could do things with peace of mind and control him: "Yes, I'll arrange it." ”

"The guards should also be fast, and if they don't have one at home, they will go to the homeless people to find them." Zhou Jin commanded again.

Maybe because he entered the working state again, when Zhou Jin returned to the yard, he didn't have any ** thoughts. looked at Aunt You's room, and thought to himself, he was still too careless, and he almost lost his mind because of this woman today. Fortunately, she was hit by a light cloud, and she could scare her, if it was someone else, most of the matter would have been reported to Zhou Pan today.

If Zhou Pan finds out that he and Aunt You have done a good thing, even if he doesn't do it, even if he has the emperor as an example of the apocalypse, his life will be difficult to protect.

There was no one in the courtyard at this time, Qingyun and Huan'er were still with Li Yu, Aunt You didn't know where to go, maybe she went to find her own son.

Zhou Jin looked at the sky, the sun had set. The light in the room has become very dim, and even if the lights are lit, it will be dim, and it is impossible to read a book. Zhou Jin had no choice but to sit in the study and ponder the events of the past two days.

In the past two days, Zhou Jin not only did not encounter any crises, but lived very comfortably. Now that I think about it, this life is really a chronic poison. In the social turmoil at the end of the dynasty, if you don't accumulate strength, when there is a change in the family, your fate is to starve to death on the streets.

It's only been two days, and Zhou Jin has been made distraught by the women in the family, but he hasn't completely indulged, and he believes that if he continues to sink in, then even if he is not killed by Zhou Pan, he will not be far from extinction.

In addition, Jiujiang is a military location, and it is impossible to settle down here, and I don't know when, Zhang Xianzhong will call. The Zhou family is such a landlord family, it is difficult to avoid not being looted.

Thinking of this, Zhou Jin's idea of pulling up a group of people became even more urgent, because only someone could walk in this troubled world.

There is also the need to be an official, with this identity, it will become reasonable and legal to do a lot of things, so as not to be troubled by the government. Therefore, preparing for Chongzhen's 12th year to get the Jiangxi Township Test is also a must to be done.

Zhou Jin doesn't know how to write Bagu Wen, and Zhou Jin has read the Four Books and Five Classics recently, but Zhu Zi's Four Books Collection Notes haven't had time to read it. Now looking at the twenty-six volumes of books with more than 230,000 words on the shelf, I can't help but have a headache. I thought to myself, I must make a plan to read, otherwise it will be difficult to read all the books half-heartedly, not to say that I will finish memorizing them.

After doing this, Zhou Jin still needs to memorize various texts, of course, I don't know who will take the exam at that time, otherwise I can narrow down the scope. The second is that Zhou Jin must learn to write the current text, because the eight-strand text is relatively standardized, so

As long as Zhou Jin of science masters the rules, he can still write it, but Wencai can't guarantee it. Therefore, finding a literate person to edify yourself is also a thing that needs to be done.

In less than two days, among the people Zhou Jin came into contact with, none of the people in his family had that talent. That Li Yu is not a reading material, because she is only interested in family affairs. And Zhou Pan was completely lucky when he was admitted to the exam, and the rest were worse than himself.

Zhou Jin began to expand the scope, he thought of Sun Shan, but immediately denied it, because it would expose his identity. The only ones left are Huang Chenghao and Huang Shuanghui, Huang Chenghao can, but the relationship is not so close, and Huang Shuanghui is also the same reason. It's just that Zhou Jin still has a chance to operate.

While she was thinking about it, Li Min's little girl ran into the school hall again.

"Young Master, are you there?" Li Min shouted, stretching out his little head and looking into the study.

Suddenly, I saw Zhou Jin sitting motionless with his eyes closed in the dim study. Thinking that something had happened to Zhou Jin, he was taken aback and shouted, "Young master, are you dead!" ”

"What's the call?" Zhou Jin shouted depressedly.

"Oh! Why don't you light the lights? It's so dark, I can see it clearly. ”

"Well, then you can put the lamp in your hand." Zhou Jin instructed that he now liked to command people more and more, more than he liked to command others when he was doing experiments.

"What are you doing today?"

"Madame told you to go to dinner." Li Min lit the lamp and said, "And the young master, when did you tell your wife about that?" ”

Zhou Jin is very strange, why is Zhou Jin's charm so great? Why is Li Min so anxious: "Why are you in such a hurry!" I will say. ”

"The master is going to take me, can I not be anxious." Li Min said anxiously.

Zhou Jin thought to himself, Zhou Pan, an old pervert, is almost fifty years old, and he still has to accept such a little girl. No wonder this little girl is in a hurry.

"It's also your blessing that the master can accept you, it's better than you being a girl and serving people."

"I don't, I'd rather die than obey the master, he's so old!"

"Well, I'll go and tell my wife that you'll move to me tomorrow. Let's go! ”
