Chapter 229: Speculation
After the red needle left, Xia Li said to Jin Ling, "Ju'er is wearing less, you take a thin shoulder to add to him." ”
Jin Ling understood that the eldest girl was letting herself go to the Dusi Mansion and pass on the words that she was the only one left in the family to Lord Ye "unintentionally". She answered, found a thin shoulder of Xia Ju and walked quickly to the Dusi Mansion.
Soon after Jin Ling returned, an ordinary carriage came to the door of Xia's house. Ye Li drove the car, he pressed the hat low, and lowered his head, and he couldn't tell that it was him if he didn't look carefully.
Tian Qing had been watching behind the hidden door, and when he saw the carriage coming, he quickly opened the courtyard door, and the carriage entered the front yard.
Ye Feng stepped down from the carriage and entered the Hanging Flower Gate directly.
Xia Li stood at the door of the main room, looking at the man coming from the sunset. The man's eyes were full of smiles, full of ambition, and Ye Feng had such an expression every time he completed a difficult task in his previous life.
Ye Feng walked up the steps, smiled at Xia Li, and entered the room.
There were only two of them in the inner courtyard, the door and the weeping flower door were not closed, and the others were eating in the back room outside the outer courtyard, and Tian Qing was also drinking wine with Ye Li.
There were a few dishes on the table in the hall room, and a pot of wine.
Xia Li poured a glass of wine for Ye Feng, Ye Feng drank it all in one gulp, and said with a smile, "Lili, the butt, and the front sight have all been made, and the barrel has also been improved, which is very easy to use." I also took your suggestion and called this modified musket the musket ......"
The modified musket is still troublesome and slow, requiring two people to operate, one with gunpowder and one for aiming and shooting.
However, it can be made up by arranging formations, and the musketeers can be arranged in three columns, the first column shoots, and after the battle, the second and third columns come forward to fight, and the first column is loaded with gunpowder, so that the firepower is still dense......
As for the further arquebus that Xia Li said, the requirements in all aspects are very high, first of all, the current barrel accuracy is not up to the requirements, and the next step will be the next step.
And the role of the cannon on the front sight is even greater. Although there is no telescope as Xia Li said, and the most accurate position cannot be hit, the big target can basically be hit. However, the distance of the shot was not as good as expected, and the barrel had to continue trial production......
These will be kept secret for the time being, and when the time is ripe, that is, when Ye Feng can return to Beijing, he will report them carefully to the emperor. Ye Feng had an extravagant hope, he wanted to get involved in the firearms camp and use his own ideas and concepts to manage the firearms camp.
"My grandfather was very happy to see me knock down a little sparrow in the distance with a musket, and half of the sparrow's body was gone, and he was very happy to see that the cannon hit the hill exactly a mile away. I also praise you, the truth of saying three points and one line is very simple, but others just didn't expect it......" Ye Feng finished drinking the wine in the cup and smiled proudly.
What he was embarrassed to say was that when he saw that Ye Lao Guogong was happy, he said to him, "Grandfather, these are all ideas that Lili came up with, and they can be regarded as her dowry." I brought her dowry to our house in advance, so I should marry her into the door, and I can't just want no one for the dowry. Otherwise, people will scold us for being the big and small Qi clan of the Qiu family, and we only use the dowry of the daughter of the Yang family, but we don't care about people's lives or deaths......"
Before he finished his words, he was slapped on the head a few times by the old man.
This time, Ye Feng still didn't run away and sulked, and continued to say good-naturedly, "Li's intelligence is far more than that, if he is favored and married by another family, it will be a big loss for our family." ”
The old man slapped him again and scolded, "The kid with his head in the water, the rare little girl is rare and stupid, and she can't even speak?" Why don't you just say the last sentence and it's over, why do you still say so much? Our family is clear, how can we compare with the Qiu family, or those two stinky girls. ”
Although the old man did not explicitly agree, Ye Feng knew that he would not object anymore. In order to irritate the old man, he said that on purpose......
Xia Li poured another cup of wine for Ye Feng, and also poured himself a small half cup, raised his wine glass and said with a smile, "Congratulations to Brother Ye on his phased victory!" ”
Although Ye Feng heard the word "stage" for the first time, he also understood its meaning.
He finished drinking the wine in his cup, pressed Xia Li's wine glass, and said, "You are still young, you should not drink strong wine, just lick it." ”
Xia Li sneered, "Lick it, you and I are Ju'er." ”
But seeing Ye Feng's insistent gaze, he had to take a sip and didn't dare to drink more. Ye Feng in this life is the same as in the previous life, and he treats her as a child.
When Ye Feng heard her mention Xia Ju, he thought of Qiu Shang's shock when he looked at Xia's. If there was really something unclear about the Xia clan before, then it would be difficult to say about Li's life experience.
Xia said that the previous master family released her slave status, Xia said that he married a Xiucai in the suburbs of Beijing, Xia said that Xia Li's father died, and the mother and daughter were kicked out of her mother-in-law's house, and there was no previous household registration, saying that it was lost on the road...... In short, everything before was Xia's alone.
I don't know what Ye Quan can find when he goes to the capital.
Although Ye Feng didn't think that the Xia family was a bad person, there were too many mysteries in her. Ye Feng thought about it carefully later, and Xia Li, as a peasant girl, seemed to be too prominent. Not to mention the memories of her previous life, it is her beautiful face, unearthly charm, good handwriting, good shooting arrows, and unusual eyesight...... These are not like the Xia family, a farmer, or the descendants of ordinary talents in the suburbs of Beijing......
Xia's previous situation and Xia Li's background don't seem to be simple, and if they are discovered again, there will definitely be trouble in the future.
Of course, Ye Feng was not afraid of trouble, but he was afraid that Xia Li would be in trouble. He guessed that the Xia family was likely to be the fugitive concubine of an official, and he didn't know what happened, so he fled back to his hometown with his children. It is also possible that the fugitive slave somehow abducted the child of the master's family and ran away. However, Chong Xia's love for Xia Li is only true of his biological mother. Then, her best possibility is to run away from the concubine......
And she was discovered by Qiu Shang that something was wrong, so it is most likely that she is the runaway concubine of the Qiu family or relatives of the Qiu family. Thinking that if Xia Li really had something to do with the Qiu family, she also saved Xia Ju, which is the will of heaven in the dark.
Of course, this is just his speculation, he hopes that Xia Shi is not lying, everything in Xia Li is as Xia Shi said, her biological parents are just a talent in the suburbs of Beijing. Lili has a simple life experience, and everything will be simple in the future.
Ye Feng grabbed one of Xia Li's hands and said with a smile, "Lili, if you are a little older, I will be able to marry you back to the New Year...... "Marry back to the Ye family, no matter how troublesome your life experience is, I will protect you."
But it's not easy for him to say the latter words, and it's not easy for him to tell Xia Li about it until he doesn't know the specific situation of the Xia family. Thinking that her true life experience may be more pitiful than that of an orphan girl who lives with a widowed mother, Ye Feng was very distressed, picked up her little hand, put it on her lips and kissed it.
