After dinner was set, the Lu family found that Master Lu and Aunt Liu were gone, and the family was easy to find, and soon found the old man who was drunk and sleeping in the study, but they couldn't find the uncle.

Mrs. Lu sent a group of maids and slaves to turn the house upside down, except for Miss Xiyuan's boudoir, they searched everywhere, but they didn't find anyone. When the last family was in a hurry, Liu Jun suddenly appeared. Master Lu, who had sobered up, asked him where he had gone, and Liu Jun replied with a weak heart that he had just gone out for a spin to sober up.

The dinner was lively.

The Liu and Lu families married Qin and Jin, and the gift was handed down, and the Lu family accepted it. A matchmaker testified and issued a marriage certificate, and Liu Jun and Lu Xueqi can be regarded as engaged. The wedding date was also chosen, and the date was set for August, the month of cinnamon. It's not that long, about a month later.

This time can not only ensure that Lu Xueqi marries into the Liu family as soon as possible, but also leave enough time to prepare for marriage. The Lu family originally wanted to set the wedding date in December, but Li Chunjiang resolutely objected, saying that the Liu family hoped to marry the newlyweds as soon as possible. In fact, Liu Jun told Li Chunjiang that Xueqi might be pregnant, so she had to get married early, and she couldn't wait for her belly to get married.

Although it is normal for a son to marry in later generations, if you get married with a big belly in the Ming Dynasty, this is a fatal thing.

Kiki didn't dare to tell her family about it, not even her mother. When she returned home, she kept telling her parents that Liu Jun did not live there when Liu Jun placed her in the county.

Lu's father and Lu's mother actually believed it, maybe they just let their daughter think that they really believed it.

The Lu family's mansion was lit up with lights, full of joy, and laughter floated out of the house from time to time. Passers-by couldn't help but look at them with envy, and the whole Xiwan people knew that today, Liu Jun, the second son of the Liu family in Xiwan, and the new Taiping Township Hutouguan patrol to the Lu family.

One is the newly promoted inspection master, and the other is the famous rich gentleman Lu family in Xiwan, these two families are good for Qin and Jin, and they are really a good match. Many young men are envious and jealous of Liu Jun, especially those who are not married.

Who doesn't know that the Lu family has a daughter, and Master Lu has already prepared a thick dowry for his daughter.

"Have you heard, it is said that the bride price sent by Inspector Liu to the Lu family today is no less than 5,000 taels of silver, which is really a big deal." One exclaimed.

The other immediately despised the man's message.

"Is Liu Er's five thousand taels of dowry too much? Don't you look at whose daughter he wants to marry, Lu Yuanwai's daughter, Wanguan's family wealth is such a daughter, marrying Miss Lu's family, isn't the family property all his? ”

"Yes, I heard that Lu Yuanwai gave his daughter 100,000 taels of silver as compensation." A person came over and squatted on the side of the street opposite the gate of the Lu family.

"Go!"

A group of people sneered at him, although the Lu family is rich, but 100,000 taels of silver to marry, this is too much, and Master Lu is not Master Mei or Master Li.

At this moment, a man walked on the long street, with a withered face, a hungry color, an unkempt beard, and bloodshot eyes. There was a shabby robe on his body, and there were many patches, and the color of the original fabric could not be seen after washing, only the color of the white remained.

This man was holding a long cloth bag in his arms, and he was holding it like a baby. He watched in front of the gate of the Lu family, hesitating.

Ding Laifu, the doorman of the Lu family, had already noticed this person, and today the Lu family was happy, and his wife was happy, and every servant gave a reward, and he also received a reward of one or two silver for guarding the door outside. And today's banquet is huge, and there will definitely be leftover fish and meat in the kitchen in the evening.

was happy, looking at the middle-aged man, he walked over, "Give you a piece of baked cake, don't dangle it here." Laifu handed the man his dinner, a baked cake, anyway, there is meat to eat tonight, so keep your stomach first. Seeing that the man looked like a fugitive wanderer, give him this bread to eat.

The middle-aged man looked at the baked cake and was stunned, and then realized that the family in front of him regarded himself as a flower child, and his heart couldn't help but tingle for a while.

"Thank you, little brother, but I'm not asking for food."

Laifu was a little surprised, but handed over the cake a little more, "It doesn't matter if it's okay, it's just a baked cake that I invited my brother." ”

The middle-aged man hesitated, but finally didn't take the cake, "Thank you, little brother, I'm not hungry." I just want to ask, are Captain Li Gongji and Captain Liu Jiye of the Nine-Headed Birds in Lu Mansion tonight? ”

Laifu nodded, "That's right, Jiye Gongzi is the aunt of our young lady, and Chunjiang Gongzi is the big matchmaker of our young lady and uncle, do you know them?" ”

The middle-aged man shook his head, how could he know these two young people who were in the limelight like the wind, but he had heard of it. "I don't know them, but there are some things I want to ask to see them, little brother, can you help me report it?"

"Brother, I'm afraid it won't work today, the banquet inside is lively, how can I be qualified to go in and report." Besides, our uncle and Chunjiang Gongzi drank high at noon, and I am afraid that this night will be even more indispensable and have to drink more, even if I report it for you, they will not be able to see you today. Otherwise, you'd better come back tomorrow. ”

"But I'm in a hurry."

"It's not in a hurry, tomorrow, I'll help my brother report when I arrive." Rifle persuaded.

The middle-aged man listened to the bursts of laughter inside, as well as the smell of wine and meat emanating from the house, and couldn't help but be a little silent in his heart, and finally had to take off his cloth bag, which was opened, and there were two long cloth bags inside.

"Little brother, if you don't do me a favor, I'll give this to you, and you go back and help me give it to Chunjiang and Jiye, the two sons, so that they can take a look. How about I come back tomorrow to visit them? ”

The middle-aged man looked down at the two cloth bags in his hands with some reluctance.

"What is this, so tightly wrapped, mysterious and mysterious."

"It's two firearms." The middle-aged man said, "These are two extremely sharp firearms, much stronger than the bird guns commonly used now." This one is the Rumi Gun, and this one is the Electric Gun, both of which I built with my own hands, and I just want to recommend these bird guns to the two captains of the Nine-headed Bird. I'll keep this Lu Mi Gong first, and how about you help me transfer it to the two sons later? ”

Laifu thought it was some kind of treasure, but it turned out to be two firearms, and he couldn't help but be a little disappointed. He wasn't familiar with firecrackers, so he didn't know the difference between a rumi, an electric gun, and a bird's gun. However, he still nodded and took the Lu Mi gun, indicating that he was willing to hand it over.

"Little brother, you must help me transfer it to the two sons." The middle-aged man was a little reluctant, and finally ruthlessly wrapped the Lu Mi gun in cloth again, and finally handed it over to Laifu.

Reluctantly turned around one step at a time, and the middle-aged man finally left.

Laifu held this Lu Mi gun and felt it, it weighed about seven or eight pounds, about six or seven feet long, and it was heavy in his hand. It was much longer than anything he had usually seen, and he held it in his hand for a while.

It happened that the housekeeper went out to see off the guests, and found that Laifu was holding the long gun and aiming it there, and he couldn't help but be startled.

After sending the guests away, the housekeeper came back and slapped Laifu on the head, and the melon skin hat was slapped on the ground at once. Laifu was startled, and when he looked back, he saw that it was Steward Lu, and his face turned white on the spot, and he didn't dare to pick it up with his head down.

The butler snatched the gun and looked at it a few times, "Where did this come from?" ”

Laifu said it truthfully, but at this time, the middle-aged man had already disappeared.

"You dare to take anything, you dare to talk to anyone, you are really getting more and more bold. Do you know what this is, this is a bird gun, a killer weapon! You're going to rebel with your dog's eyes and sights! ”

In the future, after a blessing, the housekeeper took the gun away and took it away.

At the banquet, the banquet had dispersed, Liu Jun really drank a lot, but Li Chunjiang, a big medium, drank more, and everyone took turns to persuade him to drink, Li Chunjiang was directly drunk under the table, and was helped to the guest room.

Guan came in with Lu Migong, and Liu Jun saw it at a glance. This firearm is obviously different from the Bird's Gun that the Nine-Headed Bird is equipped with now, it is longer than the Bird's Gun, and the gun stock is more curved and wider, and from the point of view of appearance, this Firegun is close to the rifles of later generations, and it is the same old length as the 38 Big Gai.

"Lu Bo, what is this?" Liu Jun stretched out his hand to greet Lu Bo, pointed to the fire gun and asked.

"Uncle, you're here, I'm looking for you." Lu Bo came over with a gun, "This is what a stranger brought over and handed it to the porter just now, originally to see you and Prince Chunjiang, but the porter stopped him." So he left the torch and said that he would show it to you, and that he would come and see him to-morrow. ”

Liu Jun was a little surprised, could it be said that he was a firecracker?

He took the firecracker from Lu Bo's hand, this firearm is indeed very unique, and then Lu Bo said, "Laifu said that the man originally brought two guns, according to the man himself, this gun is called Lumi gun, and the other one that took him away is called the electric gun, and he also said that this is a very sharp and advanced firegun, far stronger than the bird's beak gun." I guess he was a firearms maker, and when I heard that the man was dressed like a fugitive outcast, he thought it was a man who asked for food called Hanako. As a result, he handed someone a piece of baked bread, but the man didn't want it. The butler chattered and chattered.

Liu Jun clearly heard the names of the two guns, Lu Mi Gong and Electric Gun.

Although Liu Jun does not know much about the backward firearms of the Ming Dynasty, he also knows a rough idea. Especially now that I have a team, I know a little more about this aspect.

Lu Mi Gong and Electric Gun are two kinds of firearms, he is not unfamiliar now.

When he first ordered firearms, he had seen two kinds of firearms, Lu Mi and Electric, on Mr. Zhao's firearms list, and knew that both of them were stronger than bird guns.

Among them, he was particularly impressed by Lu Mi Gong, because there was a sentence on it that introduced Lu Mi Gong, among the fire guns, only Lu Mi Gong was the farthest and most poisonous!

The impression left on him by the electric gun was that it was a firebolt with a rear-loading gun, and it seemed that it was not an arquebus, but a percussive flintlock pistol that improved the arquebus ignition method into flint fire.

At that time, Liu Jun also felt that Lu Mi Gong and the electric gun were very awesome, but when he looked at the price above, he was directly defeated, which was several times more expensive than the bird gun, and there was no stock, and he needed to place a temporary order to order, I heard that the operation was more complicated than the bird gun, and he gave up these two kinds of fire guns that were said to be very powerful.

Unexpectedly, today he saw these two kinds of firecrackers again.
