Chapter 131: The Face
The next morning, it was drizzling again, and Li Weijian went out after breakfast. The four maids inside picked up, and Qingwen looked at Xiangling in a daze, so she came over with a feather duster.
"Last night...... What's going on? β
Xiangling opened her mouth and couldn't speak, and she muttered for a while before she said, "It's okay, it's okay." β
Where is it okay? I wanted to serve the fourth master of thrift, but she was dizzy and was served instead. The physical and mental pleasure from the inside out almost made Xiangling faint, and when she woke up, she was weak and weak, so she had to be persuaded by Li Weijian to rest early.
These words are naturally not good to say to Qingwen, and Xiangling thought that she would have to serve and come back tonight. Where is the enjoyment of being a maid, but letting the master work?
Qingwen saw that it was not true, so she teased: "You are a ...... Yesterday he came to ask me in a hurry, but he was embarrassed to say it now. β
Xiangling suddenly pulled Qingwen and begged: "Okay Qingwen, spare me this time." β
Qingwen glanced at her with disgust and said, "That is, I see that you are pitiful, so I am willing to tell you the truth." If you don't believe it, go and ask the people on the side, see which one is willing to tell you this, Hongyu or Xiuying? β
Xiangling begged for help again, and Qingwen spared her. Qingwen went to pick it up, and Xiangling stood in the study, holding the book in a daze.
Thinking back to last night, it still makes people blush and hot. She secretly thought in her heart that the thrifty fourth master was born good-looking, and he was generous to others, especially to herself...... Extremely gentle, isn't this kind of man exactly what she dreamed of?
I was thinking wildly, looking forward to getting dark earlier, but I was afraid that I would not be able to serve well in the evening...... Because it was Xiangling, she hesitated a little. Suddenly, it occurred to me that the fourth master was gentle, no matter what she was, he would always tolerate her. Because of Xiangling's mood, she jumped up a little, looked at the rain hanging under the eaves, held the scroll and hummed softly, feeling as if the sky and the earth were bright.

On this day, Li Weijian was arrested by the King of Zhongyong, and the carriage just left Ningrong Street, and was stopped by the officials of the Inner Mansion, and then invited to the Inner Mansion.
After entering the lobby, Li Weijian sat down, and King Zhongyong smiled and said, "Do you know why this king is looking for you?" β
"But what does the range meter say?"
The King of Loyalty and Courage smiled and said, "This king argues with reason, and the saint has decided to give resurrection a chance. β
"Huh?"
Without waiting for Li Weijian to say anything, King Zhongyong said: "The sage said that if the resurrection can be improved within a year, so that the rate of fire of this cannon is the same as usual, the range table of resurrection will be used." β
Li Weijian was silent.
King Zhongyong coughed and hurriedly said, "Don't spread this word...... The sage said that in the coming year, he would use troops against the northwest, and if the resurrected range table helped the officers and troops defeat the Dzungar bandits, the sage would not hesitate to reward the military merits. β
Li Weijian's heart was suddenly moved. Dashun is not a military merit, and he has chosen to take the route of the Inner Mansion to be knighted, and he must always think of a way to break through this ceiling. Now that the ready-made opportunity is in front of him, where will Li Weijian let it go.
Because he said in a deep voice: "The prince and let the students think about it." β
To increase the rate of fire, one is to train artillerymen, especially artillery officers, to respond to orders in the shortest possible time and hit artillery into enemy formations;
The second is to streamline the launch steps. At this time, the Dashun artillery is fired, first clean the gun chamber with a dun cloth dipped in water, and then stuff the medicine bag and bullets into the gun chamber, insert the lead in the rear, and then use the pinch in front of the gun, ignite the lead with a torch, and the gun is fired.
Li Weijian thought that maybe he could combine the medicine bag and the projectile in one place, so that he could save a few breaths;
The third is to improve the gun carriage. Nowadays, Dashun's artillery is still placed on the gun carriage, and the wooden gun carriage looks light, but in fact, because of the load-bearing, it is not much lighter than the steel gun carriage. And with each shot, the recoil causes the gun carriage to reverse, and it always has to be re-leveled before it can continue firing.
It is also extremely inconvenient to adjust the angle of the muzzle, and if you build a gun carriage, it can accommodate two horses to drag it, which must be a lot more convenient.
With an idea in his heart, Li Weijian arched his hand and said: "Since the sage has entrusted the heavy responsibility to the students, the students will serve the dead. Lord Wang, let the students go back and think about it carefully, and then present the article in the future. β
Hearing this, the Loyal and Brave King knew what he meant, and said, "Do you have an idea for resurrection? β
Li Weijian said: "The students have some ideas in their hearts, and when the drawings come out, they will ask the Armed Forces Institute to help them make them, and try to see if they are suitable." β
King Zhongyong suddenly waved his hand: "This king will let the Wubei Academy fully cooperate when he turns around, and he will do whatever he wants to do in resurrection." Liang Langzhongβ"
Liang Langzhong immediately bowed down and said: "The lower officials will immediately go to the civil and military preparation institute, and they will not delay the big event." β
At this point, Li Weijian got up and said, "Lord Wang, the student will go back first." β
"Okay, this king is waiting for the good news of resurrection!"
Li Weijian said goodbye, Liang Langzhong hurriedly went over to see him off, but unexpectedly, Li Weijian walked to the door and turned back.
"Anything else going on with the resurrection?"
"This ...... The student has some personal matters, and begged the prince to give my eldest sister a day off for one or two days. β
King Zhongyong didn't ask why, nodded and said, "It's just a trivial matter, you just go to this king's mansion to pick her up." β
Li Weijian left the inner mansion at this time.
Outside the gate of the inner house, Wu Haiping was sitting on the wheel to rest, and when he saw Li Weijian coming out, he hurriedly jumped down: "Son, where are we going next?" β
"Go to the manufacturing office."
Li Weijian asked for leave for his eldest sister Li Kun, in order to take Li Kun to see Fu Qiufang. After contact in the past few days, Li Weijian was extremely satisfied with Fu Qiufang. His parents died early, and his uncle Li Shouzhong was far away in Jinling, and the only relatives he could find around him were Li Kun.
If he wants to take a concubine, he always wants to let Li Kun take a look; Second, Li Kun looked at each other and also expressed his respect for Fu Qiufang.
After a short while, Li Weijian picked out two sets of head jewelry, put them in a box and returned to the carriage, and then went to the Zhongyong Palace.
After a long time, he arrived at the palace and told the head of the palace, and Li Weijian waited outside the palace. After a cup of tea, Li Kun hurriedly came out.
She was anxious, and stepped forward to ask, "Brother Jian'er, but what happened?" Seeing that Li Weijian was fine, he hurriedly asked again: "But Lan'er-"
"No, the big sister got in the car first, it's not good to talk about it outside."
The two maids who accompanied him got into the car together, which was a little cramped.
instructed Wu Haiping to turn to Tai'an Hou Hutong, and Li Weijian told him about the concubine.
Li Kun wondered in his heart, and stared at Li Weijian for a long time: "Concubine? When? Whose girl? β
"Big sister has heard of it, it's that Fu Qiufang."
Li Kun immediately said: "No! Fu tried this person to drill camps, and this kind of person is not frugal. β
Knowing that Li Kun cared about him, because Li Weijian smiled and said, "Big sister, listen to me." β
He immediately told the ins and outs of these days. Hearing that Fu Yan had a lawsuit, his family was scattered, and even Fu Yan himself would be exiled to the frontier in the near future, Li Kun stretched his brows. Then he asked, "Then Miss Fu, I sound like a good color?" β
"Virtuous and virtuous, with poetry and books."
Li Kun smiled and said, "Brother Jian is so praised, I will take a good look at it later." Oh no, where can I go empty-handed when we meet for the first time? Hurry back to Rongguo Mansion first, I always have to choose two faces. β
Li Weijian immediately sent the brocade box to Su Yun's lap and said, "Isn't this already ready?" β
Li Kun said angrily: "Where can you prepare for this face?" Brother Frugal, a man, where will he choose the first face-"
Li Kun paused, because Su Yun on the side had already unfolded the brocade box.
But see it, the first one is a gold and silver silk bun, then a gold flower with ruby heart, two pieces of gold inlaid with jade full of pond Jiao distracted, one piece of gold full of pond delicate lines full of crowns, one piece of inlaid gems and gold cover, two pieces of red and blue double treasure with sideburns, one piece of flowers full of flowers, two pieces of gold pressure sideburns, one piece of beaded peony pattern gold Yingluo, one piece of plum, orchid, chrysanthemum, one piece of bamboo flower hairpin, a pair of gold inlaid crystal cloves, a pair of gourd beaded cloves, and several pairs of bracelets, rings, and small hairpins.
There are all kinds of things, and there are thirty-three pieces.
Li Kun blinked, and when he looked up at Li Weijian again, he saw him smiling. Li Kun said angrily: "This face is enough to marry a wife, it can be seen that Brother Jian is very proud of Miss Fu in his heart." That's it, I'll give her some more in private. β
Li Weijian smiled and arched his hand again and again: "Thank you for your understanding, big sister." β
Li Kun took a deep breath and was speechless. She has mixed feelings in her heart, and her younger brother, who is raised by her side, is about to take a concubine in a blink of an eye. And that Fu girl is only two years younger than herself.
I asked earlier, but none of the maids around Brother Jian'er opened their faces, and Li Kun only said in his heart that Brother Jian'er didn't know what it was like. I thought it would be okay to do this, but after the autumn season, her eldest sister would privately instruct a few maids.
Unexpectedly, it was only ten days later, and Brother Jian came back with a concubine.
Last time Fu Qiufang visited, Li Kun was busy with errands in the palace, but he missed it. Just listen to Baoyu's mouth, that Fu Qiufang is a beautiful girl.
Although Baoyu is unreliable, the woman he still admires after tasting it is expected to be no worse. Not to mention the color, the most important thing is the mind. This eldest woman has never passed the door, if the concubine room is favored, the concubine room is still a high-spirited person, and she will not be able to come to the house to be restless.
As the eldest sister, Li Kun always has to take a look at Li Weijian for him.
On the way, he complained about Li Weijian's hurry, which made Li Kun annoyed again and again, and finally said: "Big sister, I haven't told Fu Qiufang either, this move is to see her heart." β
Li Kun laughed, and pointed his finger on Li Weijian's forehead: "Brother Jian'er still has a lot of thoughts." β
Li Weijian smiled and was speechless. No matter how accurate you look at people, there will always be times when you look at the wrong person. This sudden attack, and then the eldest sister Li Kun palmed her eyes, thinking that she could see that Fu Qiufang clearly.
After a while, the carriage arrived at the alley. The frame stopped in front of the mansion, and Jia Yun, who had already received the letter, was waiting in front of the door.
Li Weijian jumped out of the car first, and before Jia Yun could come forward to greet him, he saw two maids come down immediately, took a stool, and then a pure woman walked down from the car.
Jia Yun made a slight identification, and immediately stepped forward to give a salute: "Nephew Jia Yun, I have seen Grandma Zhu." β
Li Kun glanced at it and saw that Jia Yun was only sixteen or seventeen years old, born with red lips and white teeth, but she looked clean. She had met once, so she said, "Are you following Brother Jian on an errand now?" β
Jia Yun bowed down and said, "Yes, Fourth Uncle Jian saw that his nephew's family was poor and pitiful, so he stayed by his side to run errands. β
"Then it's good to do, and I'll be rewarded for doing a good job."
Jia Yun was overjoyed, and said a few words to Li Weijian, and then went to the east to work across the courtyard.
Li Weijian led Li Kun into the main gate and passed through the Yi Gate, and the stout Lianqiu caught a glimpse of Li Weijian, and immediately greeted: "The master is here, aunt, the master is here!" β
There was a curtain of grass beads hanging in front of the door of the wing room, and when the bead curtain was opened, the maid Nianxia and Fu Qiufang walked out one after the other, and saw that a strange woman was present, Fu Qiufang suddenly didn't know how to greet her.
Li Weijian hurriedly introduced: "Qiu Fang, this is the eldest sister Li Kun." β
Fu Qiufang hurriedly bent down: "I've seen my aunt and grandmother." β
At this time, Li Kun was looking Fu Qiufang up and down, seeing that his figure was marked, his face was delicate, especially the pair of charming silk eyes on the lying silkworm added to his style, Li Kun couldn't help but bow his head, and his heart was no wonder Baoyu called him Qiong Xiuyu, but he really deserved such a title.
Li Kun stepped forward and pulled Fu Qiufang's hand and said, "It's all my own family, don't be polite." β
Fu Qiufang responded, and then said: "The master has never said a word, I'm afraid it's Aunt Jian Wan's grandmother." The four are being repaired, only these two wings can still be treated, if the aunt and grandmother do not dislike it, please also talk inside. β
"It's all said that it's my own family, so I don't need to talk about these false courtesies."
While speaking, the group entered the inside, and Nian Xia was stunned, and it took a long time before he remembered to make tea. When Su Yun and Biyue saw it, they went over to help together.
In the wing room, Fu Qiufang invited the two of them to sit down and sat down with her.
Li Kun talked to him about some family things, asked about his family history, and sighed a few words about Fu Qian's lawsuit, and while Fu Qiufang personally poured tea, Li Kun threw a look at Li Weijian.
Li Weijian smiled and bowed his head, secretly thinking in his heart, the eldest sister Li Kun is a picky person, and she can be praised by her, thinking that Fu Qiufang is really a good girl.
At this time, Fu Qiufang took the teacup, bit her lower lip and blushed, got up and respectfully went to Li Kun: "Grandma please tea." β
Li Kun took a sip and said, "I won't say much about the side, Brother Jian is still young, and there are always times when he is not thoughtful, you should take care of it more." Su Yunβ"
Su Yun responded, and hurriedly held the brocade box over, Li Kun took it and spread it out, revealing a dazzling array of head and face jewelry inside, and said: "I can be regarded as borrowing flowers to offer Buddha, Brother Jian'er has the right idea, and I told me about you halfway, and this face is still prepared by Brother Jian'er." You can keep it first, and I'll give you some dowry when I get back." β
Thirty-three pieces of jewelry shook Fu Qiufang's heart trembled slightly, glanced at Li Weijian, and saw that he was bowing his head again and again, so he thanked him and took it with both hands.
She breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, thinking that this time could be regarded as passing, right?
