The next day, before noon on the 26th day of the second month of the lunar calendar, Master Zhong Shiwen Zhong came to the "Qing Garden". On the one hand, he came to see his sister, and on the other hand, he wanted to send a wedding note to the people who traveled through the country, inviting everyone to attend his wedding on the second day of the third month. When everyone heard the news, they naturally congratulated and said that they would definitely go to the party, and then everyone chatted with him about the bride's situation.

Zhong Shiwen said that the bride's family name is Xia, and she is also a big family in Fanyang County, with a similar family background to the Zhong family, and the Zhong family has been friends for many years. The bride herself he had seen when he was a child, and she was a beautiful little girl at that time, and it was estimated that she should be more and more beautiful at this time.

Speaking of this, Zhong Ziqi hurriedly interjected: "That's right, that's right. I've seen Sister Xia, that's a big beauty. And he is also a very good person, both quiet and virtuous, he is really a rare character. ”

Hearing his sister praise his wife, Zhong Shiwen also satisfied his vanity a little, and smiled like a flower on his face. At this time, Wang Feng asked, "Uncle, what is the name of our future sister-in-law?" ”

Before Zhong Shiwen could answer, Zhong Ziqi pinched Wang Feng and said angrily: "What do you inquire about the name of someone's daughter-in-law?" ”

Wang Feng said with a face full of grievances: "I'm just asking casually, this is also a crime!" ”

Zhang Weixin explained on the side: "Xiaofeng, according to the custom of Middle Earth, you can't casually inquire about women's names, and what Ziqi said makes sense. ”

When Wang Feng heard that there was still this rule, he hurriedly asked Zhong Shiwen daoqian. Zhong Shiwen waved his hand again and again: "It's okay, it's okay." Everyone is a family, and there are not so many taboos. Your future sister-in-law is called Xia Jingui, Jin is golden gold, and Gui is the osmanthus of osmanthus. ”

After Zhong Shiwen finished speaking, he found that the house suddenly became quiet, except for his sister, everyone else looked at him with strange eyes, as if he had said something very ridiculous, and everyone wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, and their expressions were very exciting. He scratched his head inexplicably, and asked puzzledly: "Brother-in-law, Chief Wang, Chief Zhang, what's wrong with you, weishenme looks at me like this, is there anything wrong with what I said?" ”

Zhong Ziqi stabbed Wang Feng, who was holding back his face flushed, and said angrily: "Why are you with such an ugly expression, my sister-in-law is called Xia Jingui, what's so strange." ”

Wang Feng, who was already holding back his laughter and was very uncomfortable, was stabbed by his wife like this, he couldn't hold it anymore, and finally laughed. Immediately, everyone else laughed one after another. laughed so embarrassed that Zhong Shiwen was embarrassed, and Zhong Ziqi was so angry that he beat Wang Feng. Wang Kunjun was afraid that Zhong Shiwen would be wrong, and the two sides had a disagreement, so he hurriedly held back his laughter, hugged his fists and said to Zhong Shiwen: "Brother Zhong, don't be surprised, we have no malice, we are never laughing at you, nor are we laughing at our future brothers and sisters." We laughed because our siblings' names were the same as the names of the characters in a novel we read when we were overseas. And although Xia Jingui in that novel is seventeen years old and very beautiful, she is a fierce woman. After passing through the door, the person who controls her husband, who is called the 'dumb overlord', is a very characteristic character in the book. This book is very famous on the island where we live overseas, and most of you have read it, and you are also very impressed by this unique character, so when I heard that my brother has the same name as her, I think of her image in the book, so I laugh. Brother is here to compensate Brother Zhong, I hope Brother Zhong doesn't mind. ”

After listening to Wang Kunjun's explanation, Zhong Shiwen, who was originally a little resentful, also understood, he waved his hand generously and said, "It's okay, it's okay." We're all family, so what's the point of joking. ”

And Zhong Ziqi was obviously interested in the novel that Wang Kunjun said, and she was bored on weekdays, so she wanted to find some legendary and strange books to read, so as to pass the time. So, she hurriedly asked her husband, "Husband, since you have read this book, what is the name of this book, who wrote it, and can you see it in Middle-earth?" ”

Although Wang Feng is not a lover of literature, he has read "Dream of Red Mansions", which is one of the four famous novels, so he replied: "Well...... this book is called "Dream of Red Mansions", and the author is Cao Xueqin. As for whether you can buy it in Middle-earth......"

Just when Wang Feng was hesitating about how to explain to his wife that it was impossible to buy this book in Middle-earth anyway, Zhang Weixin took the conversation and said, "Brother and sister, the Cao Xueqin who wrote this novel is also our overseas clansman, but he lived more than 200 years ago and passed away a long time ago. This novel is regarded as a famous book on the big islands overseas, and many people enjoy reading it. It's just that this book can't be seen in Middle-earth, because we didn't have any contact with Middle-earth before, so naturally this book won't be passed on. If you want to see it, it's very difficult. ”

received a negative reply, and Zhong Ziqi was slightly disappointed. However, this little sister quickly found a solution, but in front of so many people, she was not good at using coquettish Dafa on her husband, so she had to endure it first and wait until she returned to her room.

Subsequently, Wang Kunjun invited Xie Tian and others again, let them meet with Zhong Shiwen, introduced each other, and took care of each other in the future. Zhong Shiwen lamented the hardships experienced by Xie Tian and others, and at the same time marveled at this incredible legendary story of "meeting old acquaintances in other places".

After everyone chatted for a while, the people set up a banquet and entertained Zhong Shiwen. After eating, Zhong Shiwen said goodbye and continued to go to the next house to deliver the wedding sticker. The traversal sent him out of the gate before waving goodbye.

In the afternoon of the same day, the committee listened to the report of the science and technology group on the progress of the research and development of the flintlock pistol in the small conference room, and the science and technology group displayed the three prototypes that had been manufactured, and explained in detail the various parts of the gun and the working principle. The committee expressed its appreciation for the results of the science and technology group within one month, and expressed its gratitude to all the members involved in the research and development work, and hoped that they would not be arrogant or impatient, make persistent efforts, and continue to work hard for the flintlock pistol to be put into practical use as soon as possible.

However, it is not enough to have a prototype, the product also needs to be tested to verify that it meets the design standards. The location of the test was chosen at the "Jingyuan", a courtyard at the foot of Baojin Mountain outside the city, and the date of the test was set two days later. At that time, the committee, as well as the relevant members of the science and technology group and the security team, will be present to witness the arrival of this historic moment. ,

After sending off the engineers of the science and technology group, Zhang Weixin and Wang Kunjun returned to Wang Kunjun's residence, ready to study the flintlock pistol experiment and how to use this thermal weapon in the future. As a result, after the two of them pushed the door into the house, they found that Wang Feng was sitting on a chair with a depressed face, drinking tea listlessly. As soon as he saw the two of them coming back, Wang Feng immediately jumped up from the chair, ran to Zhang Weixin, held his hand tightly, and said excitedly: "Brother Xin, it's great that you're here." If you don't come, I'll take my brother to you. ”

Zhang Weixin was taken aback by his sudden move, Wang Kunjun even reached out and touched his cousin's forehead, and after making sure that he didn't have a fever, he reprimanded angrily: "What are you doing, you were shocked, what happened, making you so excited?" ”

Wang Feng hurriedly let go of Zhang Weixin's hand, which was holding, and explained to his cousin: "Brother, don't be angry, I have an urgent matter to ask Brother Xin, and when I saw Brother Xin, I was too excited for a while. Here's the thing, this ......, this matter has to start with my eldest brother's daughter-in-law who is about to pass through the door. Ah, no, it should start with the name of this future sister-in-law. At noon today, didn't we talk about the Xia Jingui in "A Dream of Red Mansions", but Ziqi became interested in the novel "A Dream of Red Mansions", and after she went back, she pestered me and asked me to tell her the story of "A Dream of Red Mansions", and if she didn't tell it, she wouldn't let me go to bed.

The problem is, although I have read this book, but it was many years ago, in addition to Bao Daichai and this Xia Jingui, I also know Jia Mu, Mrs. Wang or something, so I still remember the story in the book. No, I have no choice but to beg our Professor Zhang Da to come, Professor Zhang is a history teacher, and he should be much more familiar with these classical literary works than I am. Professor Zhang, can you take some time out of your busy schedule to tell me something about the content of "A Dream of Red Mansions", so that I can fool that unruly little beauty. Otherwise, brother, I would really have to sleep in the living room for a few days. ”

Hearing that Wang Feng was forced by the little sister of the Zhong family to talk about "Dream of Red Mansions", and if he didn't talk about it, he had to sleep in the living room, Wang Kunjun and Zhang Weixin were very ungraceful hahadaxiao, Wang Kunjun laughed, and patted his cousin's shoulder and said, "You, you." I used to ask you to read more books, but you just didn't listen. How about now, I know the benefits of reading a lot of books. You kid, this time is too moist, I really should let you sleep in the living room for a few days and suffer a little. ”

Faced with the "jealousy" of the two elder brothers for their good life, Wang Feng despised them infinitely in his heart. It's a pity that contempt is contempt, and this is the time to ask for someone, and you can't show it on your face.

So, under the repeated pleas of Wang Feng's children's shoes, Professor Zhang Weixin and Zhang Da -- although he had only been a university lecturer before, he was still very useful to Wang Feng by this title, and he followed him -- finally agreed to tell him some stories from "Dream of Red Mansions", so that he could deal with his wife and avoid being punished for sleeping in the living room.

"Dream of Red Mansions" has millions of words, and naturally it is not something that can be finished in a while, so Zhang Weixin spent nearly an afternoon, and only told Wang Feng the first few times, asking him to deal with the past few days first. As for the content later, it depends on how long the little sister of the Zhong family can last for this novel. If it takes a long time, Zhang Weixin will tell Wang Feng a few more times. If the time is short, it is estimated that this time will be over.

Wang Feng listened patiently and carefully for an afternoon, and then recalled the content of Zhang Weixin's lecture several times, feeling that he had memorized it all by heart, and after thanking Professor Zhang, he ran back to his small courtyard and went to show his merit to the little sister of the Zhong family. As for the effect, it is unknown. Anyway, from this day on, Wang Feng asked Zhang Weixin to tell him about "Red Mansions" when he had nothing to do, which made Zhang Weixin feel that he was about to become a storyteller. However, since they have promised Wang Feng, it is not good to give up halfway, so they can only grit their teeth and persevere.
