Flicking his fingers and dusting off the invitation, Li Weijian turned his head to Hongyu and said, "Hongyu, you go to Lixiangyuan and talk back for me, just say that I will be there on time tomorrow." ”

"Hey." Hongyu answered, turned around and walked away.

Li Weijian saw that Qingwen still had a small face, so he smiled and said: "Hongyu can speak well, and everything that will be sent to her will be handed over to her in the future." ”

"Oh." Qingwen responded in a muffled voice, and the word 'unhappy' seemed to be written on her little face.

Li Weijian raised his hand and nodded at Qingwen's eyebrows, turned his head and entered the warm pavilion, and came out with the brocade box given by Li Kun in the morning, and handed it directly to Qingwen.

"Fourth Master?"

Li Weijian stood with his hands in his hands and said, "I know that you don't tolerate sand in your eyes, so you will be in charge of the accounts in my room in the future." ”

Qingwen was slightly surprised, and then a smile appeared on her face: "Well, don't worry, Fourth Master, I will definitely take care of it." ”

The maids in each room must not be allowed to take care of the accounts unless they have the trust of the master, just like the big maid mandarin duck next to the old lady. The old lady is trustworthy, and her entry and exit are also very decent, and the brothers and sisters in the family have to call Sister Mandarin Duck when they see them.

The fourth master handed over the account management to her, doesn't it just show that the fourth master values her more? What if Hongyu can speak the Tao, I'm afraid that the fourth master will already see that Hongyu is a traitor.

Qingwen was proud at first, and then remembered what Aunt Lai had said before, so her smile disappeared, and she hesitated for a while. The second master of Bao's room is naturally good, but the room of the fourth master seems to be good......

Li Weijian disposed of the personnel arrangements around him, where did he care about what Qingwen thought? He carved a mind to make a fortune. At this moment, he sat down on the desk in the study, looked for a piece of paper, sharpened his pencil and thought about what to do next.

Qingwen put the box away, and Yuan Na walked over, took the pencil knife and said, "Fourth master, I'll come." ”

"Hmm."

Li Weijian replied and thought about it.

The Industrial Revolution broke out in England, but France, Italy, Spain, Portugal, and the Netherlands, which were also in Western Europe, did not give birth to the Industrial Revolution.

One is that the Great Voyage opened up vast colonies, resulting in a serious shortage of people in the British Isles, and the shortage of people led to high labor costs, so factory owners had to choose to replace labor with machinery.

The British congenital conditions are excellent, and there are shallow coal mines everywhere that are easy to mine, which are enough to endure the high cost of the steam engine in the early stage.

On the other hand, looking at this land, the labor cost is extremely low, that is, someone developed the Newcomen steam engine, and the cost is not enough to hire more people to cost-effective, so naturally there is no soil for the industrial revolution.

If Li Weijian wanted to promote the steam engine and even the industrial revolution, his opponent was not Britain, let alone the whole of Western Europe, but the nearly 200 million cheap people in Dashun. Unless the steam engine he developed was cheaper than manual in the first place, there was no way to implement it.

This is an afterthought, and it is natural to focus on the first pot of gold. It is said that the salt mines in Sichuan were drilled thousands of meters deep at this time, and the difficulty of this well sinking technology is how to seal the shallow groundwater and let the dug wells use the deep groundwater.

He secretly thought to himself, could he have to develop cement in advance?

"Childe, it's done."

Li Weijian took the pencil and laid it down on the paper, listing the pre-technologies needed to promote the industrial revolution. Seamless tubes, pressure vessels, barometers, riveting, boring machines, threads, valves, bearings, balls......

Looking at the front-end technology, Li Weijian had a big head for a while.

Suddenly, a cup of tea was handed to him. When he looked up, he saw Qingwen standing quietly beside him. The brows gradually relaxed, the so-called everything is difficult at the beginning, and the technical things are solved little by little, as long as the steam engine is popularized in this land in his lifetime, it is worth his life.

He suddenly remembered that he had said that he would teach Qingwen a way to recognize words, so he casually pushed the paper aside, took another one, and wrote down twenty-six letters with a pen. It is a pity that the Jingshi dialect is very close to the Mandarin of later generations at this time, otherwise this method would not be able to be used.

"Go, call Xiuying to come too, and I'll teach you how to read and write."

Qingwen was looking at the ghost painting Fu Nahan, and when she heard this, she was overjoyed: "Really? ”

"When did I lie to you?"

Qingwen laughed and ran out happily, and Su Yu pulled Xiuying, who looked confused, into the study.

The two maids surrounded Li Weijian, one on the left and one on the right, and he pointed to the letters and said: "This is pinyin, which is used to phonetize the text." I learned pinyin, and then put the pronunciation on the text, and I can read the new words in the future. Teach you vowels today, and read ...... with me."

Li Weijian led the reading a few times, Qingwen was extremely serious, but Xiu Ying was cowardly, and she didn't seem to care. He doesn't care much either, it's up to him to learn or not.

In the next day, Li Weijian had breakfast, and then rode to Shiban Hutong with Wu Haiping.

handed over the post, explained to Menzi where he lived now, and then Shi Shiran returned on his own. Wu Haiping received an errand, and he didn't know where to buy a tape measure, and went around the city to measure the well.

After only an hour of going back and forth, Li Weijian returned to Jiafu. When I arrived at the entrance of Deningrong Street, I saw a carriage coming on, accompanied by small servants on the left and right. The curtain of the carriage was opened, and a person was looking out.

Catching a glimpse of Li Weijian, the man immediately shouted: "Brother Li! Brother Lee! I, Xue Pan! ”

Li Weijian had already caught a glimpse of Xue Pan earlier, and he really didn't want to be too involved with this stupid overlord, so he kept pretending not to see it. Now that he has been stopped, it is naturally difficult to pretend again.

He looked at the past, and suddenly his face suddenly changed, and he arched his hand and said, "It turned out to be Brother Wenlong!" ”

Xue Pan shouted 'stop', and without waiting for the carriage to stop, he opened the curtain to reveal his figure, and said with a smile: "Brother Li, this is ...... Home to go? ”

"Yes, I just sent a prayer post, and now I'm about to return."

Xue Pan said: "What's the point of being trapped at home? Why don't you go with me? ”

"What's the trick?"

Xue Pan shook his head proudly: "Jinxiang Courtyard." Hehe, Brother Rong said that Jinxiangyuan is wonderful, and recently I have found a pair of Siamese sisters out of nowhere. I'm about to go and see it, why don't you go Brother Li? It's all mine! ”

Li Weijian immediately thanked Busen, where did he get the antibiotics in these years? Once you are infected with willow disease, won't you lose the lower half of your body...... Born happy?

He looked yearning, and then shook his head gloomily: "I want to go, but I agreed with my eldest sister before, and today I will teach Lan Ge'er the Analects." And when Shen Shi is going to go to Lixiangyuan for a banquet......"

Xue Pan suddenly regretted it: "It's a pity, then let's do it next time." ”

"Well, next time." Li Weijian smiled.

Xue Pan said: "Then don't pass by first, Brother Rong and Brother Qiang will go to explore first...... Hmm, Brother Li don't make a noise about this. ”

"Don't worry, I haven't seen Brother Wenlong today."

Xue Pan laughed, and at this time, the curtain of the car was opened, revealing Jia Rong's reluctant face, and he reluctantly smiled and greeted: "Fourth Uncle Jian." ”

"Yes, Brother Rong."

Xu Xuan showed another person, who looked a little like Jia Rong, was a little younger, and smiled at Li Weijian and said, "Nephew Jia Qiang, I have seen Fourth Uncle Jian." ”

"Well said, well said."

After greeting, everyone said goodbye. Li Weijian rode his horse for a while, turned his head to watch, but saw that the carriage was gradually moving away. secretly thought in his heart, this Xue Pan is really a brainless person. Jia Rong and Jia Qiang in the car didn't want to meet with themselves, but they were broken by his words, so they had to come out to greet them.

However, this Jia Qiang looks younger, but she is more thoughtful than Jia Rong. Maybe he was reluctant in his heart, but he never showed it on his face.

Li Weijian only vaguely remembered that this person and a small drama in the TV series finally became a couple, but he didn't remember the others. Now that he only took one side, he faintly realized that this Qiang brother was only afraid that he would be a little better than Jia Rong.

Thinking about it, he arrived in front of the Derong Mansion, turned over and dismounted, and his own servant took the reins, Li Weijian smiled and Yan Yan greeted the door and the steward, and then paced into the mansion.

Walking all the way to the door of the small courtyard in the northeast, I suddenly realized why it was so quiet today?

In the courtyard, Hongyu was instructing two rough maids to sweep, and when she saw Li Weijian coming back, she immediately greeted her.

When he entered the main room, Li Weijian asked casually: "It seems to be a little quiet in the house today?" ”

Hongyu untied the outer curtain for it, stacked it and said: "Grandma You of the Touyu Dongfu gave a post, saying that the plum blossoms in the Dongfu Huifang Garden are blooming, and the old lady, the eldest wife, and the second wife are invited to go over to enjoy the plum blossoms together. ”

Li Weijian was stunned when he heard this: "Brother Bao has passed?" ”

Hongyu said: "The three girls also followed, but Miss Lin didn't know why, saying that she was not feeling well, so she didn't go." ”

Li Weijian was stunned and thoughtful. When passing through Yangzhou, Lin Ruhai entrusted him to take care of Daiyu, but now Daiyu is still living in Jia's mother's room, and it is difficult for him to visit.

Because he said, "You can take a look for me in a while, and ask Miss Lin what she lacks." ”

"Hey."

As soon as Hongyu responded, she saw Qingwen coming in with a food box with a pouting mouth and a grunt.

Bang –

The food box was placed heavily on the table, Hongyu's face flashed with joy, Li Weijian glanced at Qingwen, and said with a smile: "Who messed with you again?" ”

Qingwen said: "The mother-in-law in the kitchen is used to holding high and stepping low, and there is a blind pigeon egg at noon, and it will be gone when it comes to the fourth master!" Zijuan is obviously later, why did she come and have it, but I came and it was gone? I quarreled with her for a long time, but she said no! ”

As she spoke, Qingwen opened the food box and revealed the food inside: barley rice porridge, hot noodles and steamed dumplings, bean dregs cake, and smoked fish.

Before Li Weijian could say anything, Hongyu said angrily: "How can this be true! I'm going to find Sister-in-law Liu! ”

"Wait," Li Weijian smiled on his face, not a little angry, Shi Shiran sat down and said: "A little thing, how noisy everyone knows?" Qingwen, take five taels of silver and give it to Hongyu. Next time, let Hongyu go to pick up the meal, and give up some small money. ”

Qingwen said reluctantly: "Fourth master, where is such a reason? It should be shared, and now it has to give money, and those mothers-in-law are afraid that they will not be able to see the height of their eyebrows in the future! ”

Li Weijian said: "It's good to worry, as for those mothers-in-law, it's not good to treat us slowly after getting benefits." Be obedient, just do it. ”

"Hmph." Qingwen snorted angrily and went to get the brocade box, and chose a piece of silver barley to stuff for Hongyu.

Hongyu thought about it for a while and said, "Fourth master, you don't have to give it every time, it's almost the same if you give a hundred yuan every three or five times." ”

"Well, I'll leave it to you. By the way, piggybacking also made the kitchen not slow down the big sister. ”

"Got it, I'll do it when I get back."

Qingwen fetched water, Li Weijian cleaned his hands, and ate some lunch at will, and suddenly a small servant came to report that it was the son of Yan Shilang's family who had posted a post and asked him to come over to the house.

Li Weijian took the post handed over by Qingwen, looked at it, dropped half of the smoked fish and burned it, hastily wiped his hands and put on the outer coat and left. However, Yan Fengzhen said in the post that his father Yan Xiyao was resting today and was about to meet Li Weijian.

He walked out of Jiafu quickly, stepped on Shishiyu and was about to hit the horse, but saw an oil-walled chariot coming and stopped in front of Ning Guofu.

A Kun Dao got out of the car, looked at the half-year-old, and entered the house with the dust in his hand. Li Weijian glanced at it, and secretly wondered in his heart, could this Kun Dao be from the Yuanling Palace?

It is not easy to explore, Li Weijian rode his horse and went straight to the Iron Lion Hutong around the imperial city.

However, it was said that in Ningguo's mansion, Qin Keqing saw Baoyu sleeping on his bed, and as soon as he got up and left the house, his mother-in-law came to report that the police illusion real person from Yuanling Palace had visited.

Qin Keqing didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly greeted him. After a while, the police illusion real person returned, and the two entered the warm pavilion, and the police illusion glanced at Baoyu who was sleeping soundly on the bed, and immediately frowned: "Why is there still a man?" ”

Qin Keqing smiled: "It's just a boy, where can he be considered a man?" Auntie sit down. ”

The police frowned, and after sitting down, he said: "Keqing, you and I are talking, it's not good for outsiders to listen." ”

"He's sleeping soundly, where will he listen? Auntie, but it doesn't hurt. ”

The police illusion said: "I went to Prince Zhongyi's mansion a few days ago...... He's not very good to look at. ”

Qin Keqing clenched Xiupa, frowned and said worriedly: "I...... He, what's wrong? ”

The police lowered his voice, and what he said gradually became unscrupulous.

After a moment, the police illusion left in a hurry. Qin Keqing was worried and sent him out of the mansion, and when he returned, he suddenly heard Baoyu shouting 'Keqing save me'.

Qin Keqing was thinking about her thoughts, and was telling the little girls outside the room to watch the cats and dogs fight, and suddenly heard Baoyu calling her nickname in a dream, because she wondered: "My nickname has never been known here, how does he know it, call it out in a dream?" ”

Then suddenly, could it be that he had just listened to it?

Baoyu is confused and confused, if something is lost. Everyone hurriedly brought longan soup, took two sips, and then got up and dressed.

When the attacker reached out to tie his trouser belt with him, he reached to his thigh, only to feel cold and wet, and hurriedly withdrew his hand and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Baoyu blushed and twisted her hand. The attacker was originally a smart woman, and she was two years older than Baoyu, and she had gradually become more familiar with people recently, but now when she saw Baoyu in such a situation, she realized half of it in her heart, and she blushed with shame unconsciously, and she didn't dare to ask again.
