Not far from the room was a desk with several books piled up.

Most of them were piled up in a regular way, but a few were spread out, and next to them were a bow and arrow, and a crossbow.

Liu was naturally literate since he was a child, and after a few glances, he could see the contents of the book clearly.

It's just that Liu knows every word.

But put together, Liu felt that it was a little obscure to read, but these contents were extremely familiar.

When Liu saw Shen Jun raising his eyebrows and saying nothing, he suddenly thought of something, and his heart jumped.

"Is Miss Shen studying carpentry?"

"Mrs. Liu also has research on these?" Shen Jun raised his eyebrows and asked, "Could it be that Mrs. Liu's ancestors also have carpenter backgrounds or ......?"

"Nope." The Liu family denied it, although their Liu family was not a powerful person, but they were also from the nobility for several generations.

It's just that by her father's generation, the family had declined a lot, and the children of the family did not hold important positions in the court.

But it's still a lot better than those poor doors.

"But ......"

I don't know if I noticed Shen Jun's momentary disappointment, Liu quickly added, "But I have a distant cousin who has a lot of research on carpentry work, and can often make all kinds of strange and novel things. “

At least Liu has never seen a carpenter who has the ability to make all kinds of novel things on a regular basis.

Most of the things that carpenters make or make are common furniture and the like.

Because of Liu's words, Shen Jun chatted a few more words with Liu.

Before meeting Liu's distant cousin, Shen Jun chatted with Liu about a lot of other parties.

Liu's distant cousin should really have some ability.

According to Liu, the other party is not only good at craftsmanship, but also has an active brain and a little imagination.

So much so that you can design something on your own, but those things are like toys for children in the eyes of everyone.

The other party has become a living negative example in the family.

is not doing her job, and she doesn't look like a dignified lady at all.

Besides, carpentry was considered a lowly trade in those families.

Everything is inferior, but reading is high.

Liu's little cousin can't take the imperial examination, but learn more qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, and in the future, she can follow her future husband Jun Qinse and harmony, which is better than dealing with wood every day.

"Where's your cousin now?"

Shen Jun was interested in that cousin.

Seeing that Shen Jun was a little interested, Liu hurriedly continued, "These days, the life of the big guy is not very good, my cousin is now only one person left, and then he will go to my mother's house to join ......."

It's a coincidence.

Her cousin's father died young, and her mother and stepfather dragged her up.

The mother and stepfather had a son, but the younger brother did not learn well, learned to gamble outside, and owed a lot of debt.

When the younger brother was about to be beaten to death by the people in the casino, it was his stepfather who protected him, and the cheap brother in the back did not die, and the stepfather was beaten up, and he didn't survive that breath later.

In the end, he died of illness in bed.

My cousin's mother had to sell her property for that straw bale, and in the end, she was so angry with the straw bale that she lay in bed for a few years.

Until his mother died and his cousin buried the body, he went to Liu's house alone to join his mother's relatives.

She doesn't want much, she just wants to use the power of the Liu family to give herself a place to stay, otherwise it will be difficult for her to live a better life in this world alone.

The men around her could bully her at any time.

With the power and status of the Liu family, the cousin took on some carpentry work by herself, and also hired someone to help make furniture for others.

I can't make a lot of money, but it's okay to support myself.

"If nothing else, my cousin should still be in the county now."

When Liu said these words, he also glanced at Shen Jun cautiously, his cousin's behavior was deviant in the eyes of others.

I don't know if this Shen Jun girl will dislike it.

Unexpectedly.

Not only did the other party's face not show disgust, but it seemed to be appreciative?

Liu was puzzled, but if Shen Jun had a good impression of that distant cousin, then maybe he would be able to take his cousin on the road with him at that time.

It is a great thing for Liu to have a cousin to be able to get together together.

Not only can I feel a lot more at ease along the way, but I also have someone to discuss when things really happen.

Second, although the distant cousin is in the county town with the power and prestige of the Liu family, others have to weigh it if they want to bully her.

But that doesn't mean it's really easy to sit back and relax.

Outsiders don't dare to bully, but there are many people in the family who gossip and don't give a good face, and they despise her.

Staying in the county is indeed not the best choice for my cousin.

……

After learning the news of her distant cousin from Liu's mouth, Shen Jun has always remembered this incident.

After arranging the things in the stockade, Shen Jun took some relevant books exchanged from the system mall and was studying how to improve these weapons.

She has some ideas of her own, but whether those ideas are feasible or not, and how to implement them, it is best to talk to real practitioners to be sure.

And talk to the professionals, maybe the other party can have a better idea.

There is not a shortage of carpenters in this era, but the level of many carpenters can only be regarded as improvised, and the most important thing is that many people are suitable for working according to the rules, and they do not have the energy or the idea to toss novel things.

In the words commonly used in later generations, it is a lack of innovative spirit and innovative ability.

Therefore, after hearing Liu's saying that her cousin could often toss new things, Shen Jun was quite curious about that person and looked forward to it.

With this matter hanging in his heart, Shen Jun explained the main things to be busy in the next few days, and took some time to hand over the new training plan to Li Yan and Xue Xian.

This time, I took the time to take a look at the talent accurately.

Nanxi County

Liu's mother's family is a big family born and raised in this county, and the disaster situation in this county has eased some days ago.

The county is also a little more lively and prosperous than other places.

Of course, it certainly doesn't compare to the past.

"Is the little lady of the Liu family next door in the store today?"

The third lady Zeng stood up from the rattan chair with a cane and asked his granddaughter-in-law in the courtyard.

When her daughter-in-law was stripping her bamboo shoots, she said to him when she heard this, "You don't just want to bask in the sun today, why do you want to run into that wooden fang again, and you will feel unwell when you come back when you go there." ”

When it came to this, the granddaughter-in-law was a little impatient.
