Chapter 287: Curse

said that Xu Wen was happy in Zhuangzi, and in order to avoid people's eyes, he sent someone to take Geng's over, and Wang Yu and Lamei had to follow.

Zhu Qiaoqiao sneered again and again when he heard the news, he didn't need to guess to know that Xu Wen definitely couldn't change the dog to eat, and took the time to talk to Xu Hao, Xu Hao sighed: "Those are all people with husbands, who can stand it?" If you don't remind your eldest brother, you will have to suffer a big loss sooner or later. ”

Zhu Qiaoqiao sneered: "You don't care about him, your brother is half a catty and eight taels here, don't say anything about anyone." ”

Xu Hao said unhappily: "Sister-in-law wants to say this, if I don't come to you in the future, I will end it and leave." ”

"Don't be angry!" Zhu Qiaoqiao hurriedly put on a smiling face and pulled Xu Hao's arm, "Count me wrong, after all, he is my husband, but it is a pity that he has become more and more indulgent in recent years, even if he has long been dead, but the gossip continues, and his face is always gloomy." ”

Xu Hao said: "You're right, I'm not qualified to blame anything in this regard, wait and talk to the old lady and my father, and warn Xu Wen to blindly bad wife and be careful of retribution." ”

Zhu Qiaoqiao said: "I don't even have a smile on my wife and your second sister-in-law all day long, and I don't feel happy when I am lifeless." The eldest lord's revenge can't be avenged, but what about Xu Ji's revenge? I didn't find any clues, who was killed? ”

Xu Hao frowned and said: "I can't find out, Qunfang Pavilion quickly closed the door afterwards, after the new monarch ascended the throne, not to mention the Jinyi Guard, the entire twelve guards were disrupted, unless they caught the people present at the time and tortured and analyzed carefully." ”

Zhu Qiaoqiao's eyes flashed, and he asked quietly, "Didn't you instigate it behind your back?" Maybe you want to get rid of your eldest brother and you don't know it, but you accidentally killed your second brother by mistake. ”

Xu Hao said disdainfully: "I, Xu Hao, really want to kill someone, how can I even get the target wrong?" Too underestimated. But what you said is right, this matter is obviously someone deliberately trying to blame, Qunfang Pavilion is set up by me, no matter what, I can't get rid of suspicion, who will it be? ”

Zhu Qiaoqiao said with disappointment: "It seems that you are not good to me." Didn't take it to heart at all. ”

Xu Hao said categorically: "You are an open-minded person, there is no need to drill into the horns, my wife is Ning Xue, you are my sister-in-law, this is a fact that will never change." ”

Zhu Qiaoqiao sighed: "It was too late to regret it for life, and the old lady admitted it at this point, anyway, Xu Wen will suffer by himself sooner or later." ”

Xu Hao shook his head slightly, and secretly said Xu Wen, you had better be self-aware, some women can't move, be careful of women's curses. Otherwise, if you don't get it right, you will really hurt others and yourself.

In Zhuangzi, Xu Wen wandered around every day, using the excuse to mock and quarrel with a few daughters-in-law to take advantage of some small advantages, because in winter, men are basically at home at night, and occasionally go out to gamble or eat and drink during the day, Xu Wen took advantage of the fact that there was no one around, pulled his daughter-in-law into the room and took off his pants and hurriedly used them.

He always coveted the lady of the mountain girl's family. At first, the Li family lady hid and didn't meet him, but she and her husband didn't have anyone to call, Li Huzi went out every day to help people do short-term jobs to earn some rice and noodles. She inevitably has to come out to dig out the fire at home, fetch water, grind on the mill, push tofu, etc., how can she always hide in the house.

Li Huzi is extremely jealous, not only the lady of the Li family does not dare to have an outside heart. The men in the courtyard didn't dare to make any teasing, and over time, Li Huzi was relieved.

Sometimes bumped into Xu Wen and Geng Lamei and others in brocade clothes, Li Huzi smiled and said hello. I envy the beauty who is dressed in silk and satin, and is born in the city with fine skin and tender flesh, and I never thought that the old man of the Xu family would think about his cloth lady who came out of the mountains.

How did he know that in the eyes of the master of the Xu family, her wife had a unique style? I like to appreciate the helpless appearance of the Li family lady who doesn't come out and has to come out, and who doesn't zhanzhu and zhanzhu, laughing and watching the beauty bend over to draw water, or go into the mill to watch people push the mill, and from time to time there is nothing to say, the Li family lady simply lowers her head to do things, and she doesn't pick it up if he looks at it, and he shouldn't let him say it.

To say that a woman's heart is like a rock, and her heart is the same, what can Xu Wen, who has lost her official position, do to her? It was a first-class felony in the early Ming Dynasty to strengthen the lady of the military family, and besides, Li Huzi was a reckless man, with a thousand catties of strength, and he didn't dare to be presumptuous with Xu Wen's ten guts.

The problem is that my sister loves to be pretty, Xu Wensheng is handsome and chic, he is still above Xu Hao in terms of appearance, and he is a noble son born in the imperial capital, he is good at talking and anything, and the son who grew up in the fat powder pile is gentle and careless. If you have money in your hand, you often reward a few daughters-in-law in front of her, how many good things you want, and sweet words can be said to come as soon as you open your mouth.

After a long time, when she saw Xu Wen coming again, Li Niangzi immediately hid with a straight face, and waited for Xu Wen to walk over before hitting the door, but she covered the crack in the door and peeked at others.

Sometimes I bump into each other face-to-face, but it's a big deal to be upright and let the other party take a few more looks, and can I have a little piece of meat? No, he blushed and picked up his feet and ran away, as if he hated Xu Wen.

This change of attitude may be misunderstood by an ordinary man, but when he meets a cheeky veteran of flowers like Xu Wen, because there are many similar girls in the family who want to be caught and indulged, he knows that good things are a little certain, and he is almost a little hard.

In this way, Xu Wen came more attentively, and sure enough, the lady did not stay in the house after eating, and ran to the neighbor's house every day to make shoes and soles together, sew clothes, and soon got along with the two women who both had a leg with Xu Wen, and it didn't take long to worship the righteous sisters.

Every time Xu Wen came to the front with a smile, the lady of the Li family ran to the stove room with a cold face to help them defend pancakes, waterlogged rice, steamed buns, cut rolls, talk and laugh, and her eyes flew wildly.

The two women knew Xu Wen's thoughts, and they also sensed the woman's thoughts to some extent, so they made haode food and sent some to the Li family's lady, and Li Huzi and his wife couldn't eat it, so they took it out and dried it to make sauce.

On this day, Li Huzi asked strangely: "Why does the neighbor's sister-in-law send you food every day?" Do the officials of the Xu family know about it? If it is of unknown origin, although I am poor, I am not rare for such stolen goods. ”

Li Niangzi said: "People are rich and rich, they are all allocated from the kitchen, you should be our poor family without overnight food?" Besides, the big officials don't have time to theorize such trivial matters, and no one inspects them. ”

Li Huzi stopped talking for a while, picked up the tools and went out to work, came back before the evening, put a pig leg in front of the door, and said: "A few sisters-in-law treat us well, you send this over as a return gift." Li Niangzi smiled and picked it up and gave it to the steward Tsuki, asking her to distribute it to the neighbors on her behalf, and soon returned to make a fire to cook.

In the evening, the Tsushi came in with a wicker blue fork and the corner of the skirt, and there were twenty snow-white steamed buns and a large bowl of white meat with fat in it, and opened his mouth and scolded: "You broke your leg, tell you not to go, don't go, I have to send it to you in a hurry." ”

Twisting his waist and walking in, the Qi family saw Li Huzi sitting on the kang to repair tools, Li Niangzi rubbed twine there with one white leg exposed, and said with a smile: "The strange road ran away in a hurry, it turned out that I was guarding my brother-in-law at home." ”

Everyone gossiped, Li Huzi thanked him repeatedly, sent the Yu family to the door and turned back, and asked, "Why did she call me brother-in-law just now, she used to call me by my name directly." ”

Li Niangzi smiled: "A few of us have recognized righteous sisters." ”

Li Huzi shook his head and said: "You mothers-in-law don't know any sisters if you don't do family affairs, and you are in a panic." ”

"Eat your steamed buns." Li Niangzi put the dishes and bowls on the kang table, "We recognize our sisters, and we don't defile you. ”

"That's right."

Li Huzi picked up a large piece of fat pork and put it in his mouth and chewed it, and said inarticulately: "I heard that the big official is the nephew of Marshal Xu, a relative of His Royal Highness King Yan, and I am an ordinary soldier at the bottom, and I can't afford to climb his family." ”

Looking at her husband's vulgar appearance, Li Niangzi said angrily: "The wind and horses and cows are irrelevant, they live in a compound, they don't look down and don't look up, as the saying goes, far and near are not as good as neighbors, what do you do with our sisters and sisters?" ”

In the first month of the first year of Jianwen, Shi Gecheng, the governor of Yanwang's mansion, went to Beijing to secretly play Zhu Di was pretending to be sick, and there was no definite evidence of Yanwang's rebellion in his hand.

The political envoy Zhang Yu and the commander Xie Gui visited Zhu Di together, but in fact they wanted to explore the truth of the palace, but they didn't see anything unusual, so they thought that King Yan had no intention of rebelling, and wrote to the court.

Xu Hao sighed a little emotionally, Zhu Yunwen was defeated by improper employment, these two officials for many years did not expect to be so naΓ―ve.

It's not true to say that it's naΓ―ve, eighty percent of them are now apprehensive and don't dare to offend Zhu Di publicly, and the feeling of being in the enemy camp is really not very comfortable.

In terms of preparation, Xu Hao didn't want to develop a musket as soon as possible, because the muzzle of the gun was aimed at his own people, but Zhu Di attached great importance to it, he had been referring to the three-stage strike technique created by Mu Ying for many years, wanting to hit the enemy without interruption, without giving the enemy any respite.

Xu Hao thought about it and instructed the blacksmith to build the barrel, it is not difficult to use the existing jishu, the difficult thing is to drill the hole, so the focus is to develop a wooden lathe first, the drill bits and files used in the Ming Dynasty are all made of fallen sons, it is very time-consuming and laborious, and the finished product cannot appear in a short time, and it will take a month to consider a qualified barrel under the existing conditions, but with the increase of proficiency and the experience of the craftsman, it is impossible to say in the future.

The impact part of a musket and the trigger are not difficult, because it is very similar to the principle of the most sophisticated bow and crossbow, the Ming Dynasty pipe screw is called screw turn, as for the welding is also the existing jishu, in short, it can be made if it is developed, that is, the quality will be far away from what Xu Hao imagined.

Xu Hao had nothing to do, and he told the basic fitters, vices, cross-word screwdrivers, hammers, hacksaws, and various files, and tried to work out the metric unit, making all kinds of rulers, from angle rulers to calipers and tape measures, making a simple level, and all kinds of wrenches were also said, and even taps, plates, modern drills, oil stones, scrapers, compasses, etc., everything he had used were drawn and explained together.

At this time, he did not know that these most basic fitter tools and methods of use would have a far-reaching and huge impact on the Ming Dynasty. (To be continued......)
