Chapter 112: If It's Just a Child
Li Weijian pointed to the gauze on his head, and said with a smile: "I was opened." β
"Huh? Who is it? What a guts! β
The general caught a glimpse of Li Weijian, dragged a pitch-black tail over and rubbed Li Weijian's trouser legs, but was pushed away by Li Weijian.
"Who else could it be? Naturally, he was born from the jade. β
Yan Fengzhen arched the fire and said: "Can this be endured?" If it's me, I'll call back in time. β
Li Weijian smiled and said nothing, no matter how capable he is, this son is just a showman, and he has hundreds of thousands of more silver on him. Where can I do what I want?
Yan Fengzhen looked at the general who ran to the corner and said, "You cat is dragging a gun and hanging a seal, how can you kick with your feet?" β
"It just caught the mouse yesterday."
Yan Fengzhen was puzzled: "So what?" β
Li Weijian said leisurely: "Brother Jingwen has forgotten the epidemic ten years ago? β
Yan Fengzhen blinked, turned his head and ran inward: "Fetch water, I want to clean my hands!" β
Li Weijian was suddenly overjoyed, and after Yan Fengzhen had a good scrub, Hongyu served fragrant tea, and the two of them sat down in the hall.
Li Weijian said: "If you have nothing to do, you won't go to the Three Treasures Palace, let's talk about it, do you have something to do with me?" β
"Hey, those who know me are resurrected!" Yan Fengzhen arched his hand and said: "It's still the matter of the rifled bed, now the gun tube pulls three broken ones, and the inner government complains, saying that the cost is too high, and begging me to improve the rifled bed." I closed my door and thought about it for a few days, but I really didn't get anything, so I came to ask for help. β
After a pause, seeing that Li Weijian was indifferent, Yan Fengzhen said: "Anyway, this new-style firearm also has a part of the resurrection, why don't you care so much?" β
Li Weijian said happily: "Brother Jingwen thinks I should be concerned? I just tossed out a water company on the front foot, and I was still hated by others, so I should be obscure at this time, and it is really not appropriate to be in the limelight again. β
"This, that, orβ" Halfway through the words, Yan Fengzhen couldn't go on. He wants some face, but he can't completely take the credit for Li Weijian's own work.
Li Weijian said with a smile: "Brother Jingwen, don't worry, now all kinds of machine tools are driven by manpower or animal power, and the speed is uneven, and the thickness of the drilled pipe is naturally different." According to me, Brother Jingwen might as well wait, and it's not too late to think about it when he has new motivation. β
"How long will that be?" Yan Fengzhen's title arrived early, and now he is so attentive purely out of love. He suddenly had a look of enlightenment on his face, looked at Li Weijian and said, "What is Fusheng talking about, your steam engine?" β
"Well, it depends on how Master Chen's skills are."
If you calculate that there are more than ten days to be a two-month period, I don't know how Director Chen built the steam engine.
Yan Fengzhen first bowed his head, and then frowned and said: "But the sage is urging the beginning of spring to deliver 10,000 new-style firearms......
Li Weijian wondered: "What does the dispatch of the Inner Mansion have to do with Brother Jingwen?" β
Yan Fengzhen was speechless for a moment. At this moment, a steward came from outside, called the door, and then a word came that someone from outside asked to see him.
Li Weijian was extremely puzzled, and immediately came out to ask the person in charge, only to learn that it was Fu who wanted to see him.
Li Weijian suddenly couldn't cry or laugh, this Fu tried to think that he was in a hurry to go to the doctor, and asked to come to the door no matter whether it was useful or not. He and Fu tried to have a one-sided relationship, and he knew that this person was a person who tended to be inflammatory, so where would he help?
Because he told the man in charge that he was entertaining guests at this time, and it was inconvenient to see others again. The steward took the order, and said with a smile: "This Fu tried to offend the two masters, and the fourth master is still not to see it." The little one couldn't bear to beg, so he passed on a word. So, the little one is gone. β
Li Weijian turned back to the main room, Yan Fengzhen was impatiently sipping tea, and when he saw him returning, he asked, "Who?" β
"Irrelevant...... Brother Jingwen, do you remember Fu Try? β
"Huh?" Yan Fengzhen was immediately happy and said, "His name is good, and he is attached to you?" β
Li Weijian opened his robe and sat down and said, "I want to come here and look for Brother Jingwen?" β
"Yes, it's really annoying to see the sky blocking my door in the first half month. I didn't come for a few days, but I didn't think about it and came back to life. This person, heh-" Yan Fengzhen sneered, extremely disdainful of that Fu Zhenzi.
The two talked for a while, and Yan Fengzhen suddenly muttered: "If we have time these days, let's go to the front and back of the sea to take a turn?" β
Going sightseeing? This doesn't seem to be Yan Fengzhen's mood, logically speaking, if he is free, this second son would rather soak in the study and draw some mechanical drawings or something, why did he suddenly have the idea of playing in the mountains and rivers?
He groaned and looked at the past, and Yan Fengzhen's face turned red and said, "Le Yan said that it was really boring at home, so I went out for a long time." β
Dare to be affectionate because he can't stand the wind on the pillow, Li Weijian smiled and said: "It's okay, the heat is getting stronger these days, so I just went to the water to escape the heat." Then set the day after tomorrow? β
"Okay."
The two discussed and stopped, and Yan Fengzhen pondered for a while, and then left.
As soon as Yan Fengzhen left, Li Weijian greeted Wu Haiping, went to the stable to discuss with the person in charge, and ordered two carriages to come for the day after tomorrow. Wu Haiping made a generous move, gave up two taels of silver, and accompanied the smiling face up and down to agree, saying that he was ready to stop the day after tomorrow, and he didn't mention it.
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
The next day, Aunt Xue and Mrs. Wang had breakfast together in the morning, and it was about to be close to noon when they came out of Mrs. Wang's courtyard, and they turned to the middle road, not wanting to bump into Mrs. Xing, the eldest lady who had returned from nowhere.
Because of the short time and Mrs. Wang, although the two have never had a bad relationship, they are only nodding friends. At that moment, Aunt Xue greeted Mrs. Xing, and after a few gossips, she was about to leave.
Unexpectedly, Mrs. Xing didn't know where to get the interest, and pulled Aunt Xue to say a good word, and Aunt Xue felt strange in her heart, so Mrs. Xing said goodbye.
Returning to Lixiang Courtyard, Baochai was making a tie and got up to greet him, and Aunt Xue immediately asked him to sit down. Aunt Xue also sat down and said with a smile: "My son, guess who I met just now?" β
"Who?"
"Big Madame. Somehow, he pulled me to talk for a while. β
Baochai paused his hand, raised his eyes and asked, "What did the eldest lady say?" β
Aunt Xue said, "What else can you say?" It's just holding Baoyu and talking. said that Baoyu is so nonsense, I am afraid that it will not be successful in the future. He also said that since Baoyu was impatient to read the Four Books and Five Classics, it was better to try to learn it early. If you get something, you can't say that it's the second thrifty brother. β
Baochai's heart moved and said, "This is serious. She thought about it while chatting and said: "Now that Chen Shoufu is in charge of the cabinet, the sage attaches great importance to practical learning, and there are very few practical scholars, if Brother Bao learns with his heart, he can't say that he will really have a future in the future!" β
Aunt Xue blinked: "In this way, the eldest lady is saying good things?" β
Baochai said: "The words are good words, but the thoughts in this heart are not necessarily. β
Aunt Xue frowned slightly, and it took a while to figure out the reason for her inner situation, and said: "Since she has bad intentions, then she should never have heard of it." β
Baochai said: "No matter what she thinks, the meaning is always good, and my mother has to say it in front of my aunt." β
Aunt Xue thought for a while, and then silently helped Baochai tie the ropes. After a while, Tongxi and Tonggui came back with a lunch box, the mother and daughter used it, Aunt Xue went to rest in the room, but Baochai came out of Lixiangyuan and went all the way to Rongqing Hall.
The Xue family spent a lot of money for the election, but the eunuch who was in charge of the affairs still refused to give a word, because the mother and daughter discussed in private, and they had to prepare with both hands.
Xiao Xuan became naturally good, raised his identity, and in addition to Baoyu in the future, he may be able to be favored by the noble children next to him; If the small election fails, with the current white body of the Xue family, there will be no candidate except Baoyu.
Because Baochai was free for a while, he went to find Baoyu to play naughty, and Baochai knew in his heart that Baoyu treated Daiyu differently from others. In the end, it grew up in a small place, and the affection is deeper than that of others. If you want to marry into Rongguo Mansion, then Daiyu is Baochai's number one enemy!
These days, Baochai is playing stubbornly with Baoyu, and at the same time thinking about how to deal with it. The fourth brother was injured on the day of his birth, looking at Daiyu's head, the two seemed to have some tacit understanding?
If Daiyu's mind turns to Fourth Brother Jian, won't she lose her first-class enemy?
After thinking about it, he entered Jia's mother's courtyard and asked Mandarin Duck, and Mandarin Duck said, Baoyu has been delayed for a few days, and now he went to private school with Qin Zhong; Daiyu talked with the old lady for a long time, and went to the back building to read.
Baochai thanked the mandarin ducks, turned the main room, crossed the flower hall, and went downstairs in a blink of an eye, and heard the strings plucking from afar, and saw that behind the window on the second floor, Daiyu was leaning over to play, and the sound of the piano vaguely revealed the slightest melancholy.
When Baochai arrived at the door, Zijuan greeted him, and after saying two words, he led Baochai upstairs.
"Girl, Miss Bao is looking for you."
The sound of the piano stopped, and Baochai went upstairs, and saw that Daiyu had already greeted her.
"Why do you think about it now?"
Baochai smiled and said: "I also said, I have set up rules for a long time, and when my grandmother saw that I was working, she was kind and allowed me to relax and relax." Sister Lin is playing the piano? β
Daiyu asked Baochai to sit down, and she also sat down and said: "After reading the idle book for a while, I changed my mood to pass the time." β
"Sister Lin is so elegant, I can't compare."
Daiyu only smiled and said nothing, Xu was in her heart, Baochai was not as elegant as her.
After gossiping for a while, Baochai suddenly said: "Yes, Sister Lin has ever been to see Fourth Brother Jian these days?" β
Daiyu said: "I saw it once in the middle, and I saw that it was good, but I didn't go for two or three days." β
Baochai smiled: "Then just go with me to take a look." Sister Lin also knows that I am not free for a long time, and I want to visit Fourth Brother Jian, but I am not very good alone, so I came to talk about Sister Lin. β
Daiyu wondered in her heart, thinking that Baochai would not go to the courtyard of the fourth brother once or twice, why did she worry about it?
She thought like this, but said angrily: "It's fake to dare to find me, and it's true to pull me as a companion." β
Baochai gently pushed his hand twice, and pleaded: "Sister Lin will answer me." β
Daiyu was so entangled that she couldn't do anything, and she was not interested in it, and she thought that the fourth brother had said two days ago that she would compose a poem when she came back next time, so she said: "Okay, don't shake it, I'll just rely on you." β
The two girls laughed for a while, and Daiyu picked it up neatly, and then followed Baochai all the way to Li Weijian's northeast courtyard.
After a cup of tea, Xue Yan went to call the door, and when the two entered the courtyard, they saw Li Weijian coming out of the main room.
He smiled and arched his hand: "Why did Sister Lin and Sister Xue come?" Come on in, it's going to be poisonous. β
While the three of them walked inside, Baochai said: "I haven't been free these days, but now I finally have time, so I want to come and see the fourth brother Jian, and I don't know if the fourth brother's injury is healed." β
Li Weijian turned his head as he walked, and poked his finger out: "Healed early in the morning, look?" If you don't look closely, you can't even see the scar. β
Daiyu caught a glimpse of the red mark on her ear, and her heart suddenly twitched. It's not that Li Weijian used his body to block the vase that day, but he was afraid that he would break his appearance at this time.
She felt grateful in her heart, but she couldn't say anything in her mouth, and only looked at Li Weijian with a pair of eyes that seemed to be crying but not crying.
Facing the pair of eyes, Li Weijian's eyes paused slightly, which led the two of them inside.
The guests and hosts sat down, and the three of them gossiped for a while, and Baochai was thinking about how to get out, when he suddenly caught a glimpse of the general slowly walking in from outside the door.
Baochai's face suddenly showed joy: "Ah! What a handsome cat! β
As he spoke, he got up and chased after him, holding the inexplicable general in his arms. After a lot of rarity, Baochai said: "I've wanted to raise a cat and dog since I was a child, but my mother just doesn't allow it." Fourth Brother Jian, Sister Lin, you talk first, I have to tease you. β
Daiyu wonders in her heart, Baochai loves cats and dogs? Baoyu raised a pug, why is it rare not to see Baochai?
Daiyu only had doubts in her heart, but Li Weijian knew it. After a little thought, Sister Bao actually had the idea of helping herself and Daiyu match? Oh, that's interesting.
Baochai hugged the cat and went to the side to play naughty, and only Li Weijian and Daiyu were left at the table. After asking Daiyu about her daily life in the past few days, Li Weijian was about to say something, and Daiyu said: "The poem that Fourth Brother Jian said last time can be written?" β
"Sister Lin, wait a minute."
Li Weijian got up and went into the study, and returned in a moment, with an extra piece of paper in his hand. He handed it over with a smile and said, "Graffiti work, Sister Lin, don't laugh." β
"Fourth brother is too modest."
Daiyu unfolded the paper and saw that cursive script was rarely used on it, and a word was written on it:
Wisteria opens the window waterfall, and the gable slanting sunset.
The heart turned into ashes, Luo Skirt Pavilion paced, and Emei frowned.
The wind hides his face, his eyes are slightly closed, and his thoughts are cloudy.
If life is just a child, what is the spring breeze and a hundred flowers jealous.
After reading the last sentence, Daiyu's heartstrings fluttered, and suddenly became sour.
'If life is just a child, what is the spring breeze and a hundred flowers jealous. Yes, if you have been a child, where can you be so troubled?
