Chapter 170: Neighbors

Uproot? If you want to move in, who is going to move out?

Li Weijian opened the curtain and took a look, and sure enough, he saw a carriage passing in front of him, and it was full of cages. Just as he was about to send someone to urge, the carriage and horses set off again, and the family that had moved learned that Li Weijian had moved over today, and hurriedly made way.

Jia Lian smiled and said: "Count this acquaintance, otherwise if you hand over a post, you will definitely scare him." ”

Li Weijian smiled and was speechless. Sure enough, no matter how gentle and frugal you are, the son of the family is the son of the family, and the arrogance in his bones is especially comparable to others?

Entering the alley, the Ding brothers and others waited here early in the morning, the car shop stopped, saluted, and hurriedly sent the cage into the house.

Li Weijian invited Jia Lian to sit down slightly, Jia Lian knew that Li Weijian was busy today, so he only drank a cup of tea and left.

Qingwen and Hongyu moved Li Weijian's clothes and belongings to the main room first, leaving them for Fu Qiufang to put away, and then turned around and went down to settle them.

Li Weijian only placed the books in the bookcase in the bookshelf by category, and sat aside to watch Fu Qiufang put away his clothes.

Fu Qiufang folded a moon-white gown, and seeing that it was half-new and not old, he said, "The master will also pull some fabrics when he goes back, and make more clothes." This knighthood, in the future, when encountering major and minor affairs, you must always dress more formally. ”

"Hmm." Li Weijian responded.

After a while, Fu Qiufang said again: "Qingwen is a few, do you want to have a maid?" ”

"This is not in a hurry, according to the status of the first-class maid, add an extra tael of silver every month."

Fu Qiufang thought to herself, this day and night, guarding four beautiful girls with different appearances, she was also embarrassed by the old man. Last time, I heard a few maids mention that the second master of the Rongguo Mansion was only eleven years old, and he was mixed with a few maids.

After thinking about it, maybe the old man has such perseverance to get to where he is today.

Fu Qiufang thought about it for a while, and asked in a snort: "Master, since Qingwen has come over, is the errand in my hand a point?" ”

When Li Weijian heard this, he asked, "What do you think?" ”

Fu Qiufang said: "Qingwen doesn't allow sand in her eyes, so let her take care of the accounts; Hongyu can speak well, so she and Qianxue will manage the inner house together; Xiu Ying is very skilled, is she responsible for the errand of patrolling this night? ”

Li Weijian smiled and bowed: "Okay, Qiu Fang is thoughtful." In the future, you will still be in charge, and the rest of the errands will be divided, so as not to tire yourself again. ”

Without waiting for Fu Qiufang to be angry, Li Weijian said again: "Yes, the day before yesterday, I asked Jia Yun to go home to rest for a few days, and you can also take care of the greenhouse in the East Cross Courtyard." ”

Fu Qiufang pondered: "Why don't you let Xiangling inspect every day?" ”

"Well, that's fine."

Seeing Li Weijian's head, Fu Qiufang said again: "Master, although the title is undecided, Qingwen always has to leave some rough maids around her." Sir, are you hiring a few? ”

"It's a matter of little things like that, just make up your mind." After talking about family matters, Li Weijian suddenly asked, "Why did the neighbors in the west move away?" ”

Fu Qiufang frowned and said: "The concubine only got the letter yesterday, saying that there was a rich man who fell in love with the second courtyard and paid a lot of money, and the main family was afraid that the rich man would regret it, so he even left the furniture, and he picked it up for a day yesterday, and he had to move out early this morning." But collided with the master? ”

"Not really."

Fu Qiufang said: "There is only one official living in this alley, although the lord has been knighted, but he is still a junior in terms of age, and he is a little flustered today, and the lord will always go to visit him later." ”

"Well, that's true." Li Weijian said: "I don't know which person is in charge of the ministry?" ”

Fu Qiufang was prepared and said: "It is said that it is the Zheng director of the Sealing and Clearing Division. ”

The Department of Sealing and Sealing is in charge of the title of knight, the descendants inherit the official title of the ancestors, posthumously present the official title, and the official calculation. The title of this Dashun also has an evaluation, if it is plain offended by the inspection of the Qing Officials, write a few more bad comments in the next day of evaluation, and say that when the descendants of the next day attack the lord, they will be reduced a few more grades.

Li Weijian blinked and said with a smile: "This has to be carefully stammered, so as not to find me in the future." ”

Fu Qiufang saw that he was about to come over with a pair of charming eyes, and instructed: "I heard that Director Zheng is a very decent person, and he can be regarded as a two-sleeved breeze. ”

Eh, Li Weijian suddenly ironed in his heart. Xiaoyin got up and came over, hugged Fu Qiufang's figure, and couldn't help but praise: "I'm really lucky to have Qiufang." is such a virtuous helper, and he has nowhere to find it with a lantern. ”

Fu Qiufang was amused and said, "I just think about it a little more, where is it as good as the old man praised?" ”

"It's just okay, don't let people say it?"

Fu Qiufang pursed her lips and was happy, but she didn't argue. After picking up the clothes, Fu Qiufang went to the courtyard by herself, beckoned a few maids to come over, and divided the errand in front of her.

Qingwen was still in charge of the accounts, so she only slightly bowed her head and didn't care. In the past six months, Qingwen has been reading and reading every day, and she has to learn how to manage accounts from others.

When Xiu Ying heard that she was going to inspect the inner house at night, she immediately patted her chest as a guarantee, and no thief dared to break in. turned his head and went to find Li Weijian again, and begged him to make two Qi family knives. Look at that, this girl won't stop without splitting a few thieves;

Xiangling heard that she had to inspect the greenhouse every day, and she had no choice but to respond. Thinking about it, Li Weijian once said that the greenhouse is as warm as spring, and even in winter, fruits and vegetables can grow, and I suddenly rejoiced in my heart. Looking at the large green plants in this winter, the mood will always be a little better;

Hongyu got the housekeeper's errand, and suddenly secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She originally had some signs of disagreement with Fu Qiufang in her heart, but when she saw that Fu Qiufang didn't care about her past suspicions and came out on an errand, she suddenly felt ashamed. I thought I'd just wait to fix it up the next day.

All the arrangements stopped, and seeing that it was approaching noon, Fu Qiufang was looking for lunch, when suddenly Qian Xue came to report that the second son, Yan Fengzhen, had come to the door.

Fu Qiufang knew that the second son and Li Weijian were good friends, so she hurriedly went into the main room and talked to Li Weijian.

When Li Weijian came out of the door, he saw Yan Fengzhen standing with an impatient face.

"Brother Jingwen, why did you come here? Could it be that the matter of learning from Qiu Yu has happened? ”

Yan Fengzhen frowned and scolded: "Phew! A dog can't spit out ivory in his mouth! Who in the world doesn't know my father's practical attainments? I am blue, and those poor people don't dare to stare at me even if they don't open their eyes. ”

Li Weijian smiled and said, "Then why did Brother Jingwen find it so quickly?" ”

Yan Fengzhen said: "Are you willing to do it?" The little officials of the Armed Forces Institute couldn't find you, so they found me. ”

Li Weijian suddenly smiled: "You mean-"

"Well, you've got that gun rack built. At this time, the loyal and brave king is fiddling, but he can't figure it out. ”

It's been made! Li Weijian turned around and nodded at the Ding brothers: "Go to the warehouse, bring the wheels and tires together, and let's go to the Armament Institute." ”

Yan Fengzhen was surprised: "Huh? If you don't come for a few days, could it be that you have come back to fiddle out of that gas mouth? ”

Li Weijian pushed Yan Fengzhen and left: "Say while walking." ”

After repeated attempts, increasing the ratio of sulfur and carbon little by little, this tire formula was tested, and there was nothing rare. The really hard part is the valve of the pneumatic tire!

Although Li Weijian has never disassembled the air valve to look at the inner structure, he probably knows the principle, but the spring is pressed, and the spring is pressed, and the external pressure is greater than the internal pressure to inflate. Li Weijian and Yan Fengzhen made a pump by themselves, and there was a problem when they were about to make the gas nozzle.

There is no suitable spring steel! Li Weijian threw a lot of money for this, searched for steel materials, and hired craftsmen to pull the springs, and after a few days, he got some suitable springs.

Li Weijian remembered the previous difficulties, and couldn't help but slander in his heart, when he entered the inner government as an official, he always had to find an opportunity to do his old job, and the metallurgical level of Dashun was really a headache.

The carriage passed the crossing, Li Weijian glanced north, and saw that there were many people around the Yamen of Shuntianfu. There are about 100 real students, and more people are watching the lively people.

Li Weijian said with a smile: "These people are not bold enough, they only know that they are surrounded by the Yamen of Tianfu, and they really want to make a big fuss, so it is better to knock on the que." ”

Yan Fengzhen sneered and said: "It's just some poor people who don't have the talent to learn, and they still have a talent and fame, if you really go to knock, you can't say that the background of the leaders will be gone." ”

"Yes."

Yan Fengzhen said with a smile: "Even so, Chen Shoufu is still anxious now. My father said in the afternoon that Chen Shoufu is now at home and is defending himself. After a pause, he said, "Look, there are these big measures." Our Chen Shoufu is not a broad-minded person. ”

On the way, the two talked and laughed, and in a blink of an eye they arrived at the Outer City Military Garrison.

The two carriages were parked in turn, the Ding brothers followed behind with wheels and tires, and Li Weijian and Yan Fengzhen handed the sign and entered.

When I got to the left of the shooting range, I saw King Zhongyong fiddling with the new gun mount. The rocker arm turned, and the muzzle of the gun slowly raised.

Li Weijian and Yan Fengzhen stepped forward to salute, and King Zhongyong waved his hand and said, "This gun carriage is really much lighter than before, but what about this wheel?" ”

Li Weijian said with a smile: "Back to the prince, didn't the student bring it here?" ”

"Huh?"

Li Weijian beckoned, and the Ding brothers sold enough strength to carry the tires and wheels. The loyal and brave king bounced his fingers, and the wheels were steel and crisp; The tires are black and elastic, but I don't know what they are.

After a little thought, the King of Loyalty and Courage came to his senses and said, "Could this thing be made of that milk?" ”

"The prince's eyes are like torches, and they are the milk."

As he spoke, Li Weijian took out a letter from his sleeve cage and presented it with both hands, saying, "Lord Wang, there are various recipes recorded in detail. Please take a look at it. ”

What about the formula? The letterhead also provides a rough record of the performance of the various recipes.

King Zhongyong unfolded his letterhead and skimmed it, because he had never seen how this thing was actually used, so he did not express his position. With a wave of his hand, he ordered the soldiers to attach the tires to the gun carriage.

After a long time, and the tires were properly installed, the king ordered two mules to be brought in. The mules were set, the groom waved his whip, and the two mules worked together, and at first the gun carriage moved with great difficulty, and then the two mules trotted faster and faster.

King Zhongyong watched the two mules pull the gun cart around the shooting range a few times, and then raised his hand and slapped it on the fence: "Good thing! ”

Li Weijian said: "Lord Wang, this tire is easy to say, but the valve is difficult to do, and it must be made of steel to make a spring." Nowadays, these two gas nozzles are not used, and they are a little slow to breathe. ”

King Chung Yong only nodded, but did not speak. When the groom approached with the mule and the gun wagon, the king of Zhongyong immediately called the groom and asked, "How?" ”

The groom arched his hand and said: "Back to the prince, this new gun carriage is indeed much lighter than the original one." The villain looked carefully, and the wheels made of unknown things were wide and light, and it was expected that they would not easily fall into the pit. ”

"Good, good, it's really a good thing." King Zhongyong's face became vivid, and he raised his hand and patted Li Weijian's shoulder heavily: "Resurrection has made another meritorious contribution this time!" It's a pity that he was knighted, otherwise, if he counts this merit, he can at least be crowned a third-class son after resurrection. ”

Li Weijian said hypocritically: "It is the duty of a student to serve the imperial court, and he does not ask for rewards." ”

"! If the rewards and punishments are not clear, who will contribute to the courtiers? Who will serve the generals? You can rest assured, this merit will be remembered for the time being, and it will be given to the ancestors after some time. ”

Li Weijian smacked his lips, his face was grateful, and his heart was slandered. A credit has nothing to do with himself, but cheapens his parents who have never met...... Who to reason with this?

I heard King Zhongyong say again: "Qiongya is thousands of miles away, I'm afraid it will not be good luck to rebuild in Beijing." ”

"Lord Wang, this thing is best made in Qiongya, and then transported to Jinmen by sea, so there is less loss."

"Hmm." King Zhongyong frowned and thought about it, and asked Director Chen to ask about the manufacturing cycle of the new gun carriage, and then he couldn't make up his mind for a while. Said: "Don't worry, this matter will be talked about when the king understands the saint." ”

After carefully observing the new gun carriage, King Zhongyong turned back and left. After bidding farewell to King Zhongyong, Li and Yan returned to the inner city by car, and then went their separate ways and returned to their respective homes.

This time, Li Weijian was hungry, and he didn't even eat lunch. When she arrived at her home, Fu Qiufang really left the meal, Li Weijian ironed it in her heart, and just ate a few bites of the dishes on the stove, Qian Xue came to report with a strange face: "Master, someone outside is visiting, saying that it is a new neighbor who has moved in." ”

Li Weijian looked at Qian Xue's face and asked, "Is it weird?" ”

Qian Xue said: "I glanced at it through the door, but I felt familiar, and I was afraid that I would admit my mistake." ”

Familiar with Akane Snow?

Li Weijian wondered, immediately put aside the dishes and chopsticks, got up and went out. When I got out of the door and entered the hall, I saw a person standing with his back to the door, pretending to look at the calligraphy and paintings on the wall.

Looking at the size, it is extremely familiar. The accompanying servant said: "Guest, my lord is here." ”

"Oh?"

The man turned around and was immediately extremely surprised: "Frugal...... How is it a thrifty brother? ”

Li Weijian's face was soothed, and he smiled, and said, "I heard that the new neighbor is visiting, could it be that Brother Wenlong bought the mansion next door?" ”

I was too sleepy, so I checked it roughly, and went back to correct it if there were mistakes or omissions.
