"It's a good name, Ting Zhifangqing. It has a very artistic conception. It's much better than my Lin San. It really deserves to be the daughter of the world's number one bachelor. The green is better than the blue." Lin Wanrong nodded and smiled.
Xu Zhiqing shook her head and laughed lightly. This man spoke strangely and babbled nonsense. Hearing what he said was just a joke.
"I said Zhiqing, go back and talk to your father, and I will visit your house in a few days when I am free. I think Master Xu will definitely welcome you. Oh, by the way, and your Aunt Su, We agreed that when I enter Beijing, they will treat me to matchmaker wine, but unfortunately, I won’t be able to be your matchmaker, there is no reason in this world to be your own matchmaker, haha—"
Hearing that he called Zhiqing, who was extremely affectionate, and then repeated the old saying to take advantage of her, Miss Xu snorted and let out a long breath, but her eyes calmed down, as if she didn't hear his nonsense, With a calm expression on her face, she nodded and said, "Zhi Qing must tell my aunt and father what brother Lin said."
Really worthy of being Xu Wei's daughter, Lin Wanrong laughed dryly: "If Miss Xu is free, you can also come to the semicolon of Xiao's house to have a look. I've been there all the time—oh, no, it's Miss I've been there all the time. Don't you want to meet and chat with her, I believe you will have a common language."
Xu Zhiqing's long eyelashes trembled, and she suddenly said: "Brother Lin, Zhiqing has a heartless request, I wonder if Brother Lin can agree?"
This chick demands me? Lin Wanrong took a closer look at her, and saw Miss Xu's almond eyes and peach cheeks, snow skin and jade lips, slender willow waist, and plump body, although she is no longer in her teens. But it has a more mature flavor. "Miss, what do you beg me for? Let me tell you first. If it's simple, I'll agree. If it's not simple, I won't agree." He smiled and said.
"Extremely simple." Xu Zhiqing said indifferently: "I want to take a look at the musket that Lin Shixiong carries with him."
Borrow a gun? I carry two guns with me. I don't know which one you want to watch. He smiled. With a serious face, he said: "This is easy for Miss, but not easy for me. This musket was given to me by a friend for self-defense. To me, it is more important than my life. Just imagine, Miss and I are just two sides. Zhiyuan, can I rest assured that I will hand over my life to you?"
"Brother Lin Shi is right." Xu Zhiqing nodded. Passing the chain crossbow in his hand to him, he said: "After the improvement of this small chain crossbow is successful, I carry it with me every day and never leave it. It is also for my self-defense. To show my sincerity, I hand over the chain crossbow to my elder brother In the hands, this can be regarded as a life for a life. What do you think?"
Xu Zhiqing's face was serious, she didn't seem to be joking, Lin Wanrong took a look at the serial crossbow. He smiled and said, "Could this be the legendary life-and-death promise, unswerving until death? We've only met so many times. That's it - isn't it progressing too fast?"
Xu Zhiqing closed her phoenix eyes lightly, indicating that she didn't hear what he said, Lin Wanrong accepted it when she saw it, laughed, and put the musket in her hand and said: "It's useless to show you, this thing is at the level of my Dahua refinement, it is It cannot be imitated."
The musket was very heavy to hold, but Xu Zhiqing frowned while holding it in her hand, and said lightly: "When I saw this musket for the first time in the past, I just looked at it from a distance, never touched it, never wanted to put it in my hand, but actually It's so heavy."
"Didn't you say that you have studied before?" Lin Wanrong wondered.
Miss Xu smiled sweetly: "I don't say that, can you lend me this musket?"
What a cunning little girl, Lin Wanrong chuckled, thankfully I removed the bullet, otherwise it would have fallen into your hands, I don't know what would have happened.
Xu Zhiqing carefully observed and played with the musket for a while, then shook her head and sighed: "Westerners' craftsmanship is very fine, the barrel and alignment of this gun are exquisite workmanship, my Dahua craftsman is slightly inferior, I want to imitate it, but I can't imitate it." Can't make it.
Lin Shixiong, can you take a shot? I wanted to see what happened when the musket was fired, but the shot was too fast for me to see clearly. "
"This—it's not very good, it's not elegant to fuck in front of Ms. Xu, and I'm not good at it either!" Lin Wanrong said shyly.
Seeing his indescribably wretched expression, Ms. Xu immediately became more vigilant: "It's just fucking! Why isn't it elegant?"
Lin Wanrong laughed twice and said, "Then do you want me to hit with my left hand or my right hand?"
Xu Zhiqing only felt that his expression was indescribably weird, but she didn't know where the problem was. After thinking about it for a long time, she didn't find anything wrong, so she could only say: "Brother Lin Shixiong is used to using whichever hand, then use that."
Lin Shixiong said solemnly: "I'm actually not very good at this kind of difficult technical work. But since Ms. Xu has spoken, I'll call and have a look. Alas, in front of such a beautiful lady** , I'm really a little embarrassed."
He desperately held back his laughter, loaded the bullet, and aimed at a dry willow tree by the pool. After a loud "pound", the tree was immediately filled with bullets, which penetrated into the trunk for several minutes.
Letting go of her little hand covering her ears, Xu Zhiqing said solemnly: "Westerners' craftsmanship is really extraordinary. This momentum alone is enough to intimidate people, not to mention the huge power of this musket."
Lin Wanrong shook his head and said: "Miss Xu, this is not a handicraft, but the most basic precision processing. It is impossible to do such a craft with only human hands. I don't know if Mr. Xu has talked to you about the French Tavoni Li Sheng has been to Tavoni’s iron-clad ship, and the whole steel plate cut on the iron-clad ship, as well as the cannon on the ship, are more precise than my Dahua. This is just the beginning of precision machining. If I, Dahua, continue to rest on my laurels, Yelang is arrogant, and when the West enters the real mechanical age, rowing can be done without wind or oars, but with heat energy converted into mechanical energy, and the gap between us and them will be Huge. Whether Ms. Xu believes it or not, this is by no means alarmist, if we wait until that day to wake up, it will be too late."
Although Xu Zhiqing was talented and intelligent, she was a little surprised when she heard these words, and said in amazement: "The heat energy is transformed into mechanical energy? What does this mean? Will the western world really have such a developed day?"
"Take this musket as an example. How does Miss Xu think the bullets loaded in the chamber are fired?"
Xu Zhiqing thought about it for a while, and then said: "I have studied this before. It is when the gunpowder explodes and burns to shoot out the iron bullet!"
Lin Wanrong smiled wryly and said: "You only know the appearance, but not the inside. This is the conversion of two kinds of energy, the heat energy generated by the explosion of gunpowder, and the kinetic energy that pushes the bullet forward—you can understand what I said. what
See Miss Xu opened her innocent eyes wide. Lin Wanrong smiled helplessly. Lao Tzu said that these are not asking for trouble? Does she want to understand? Can she understand
"Stop it, stop it, you won't understand it if you say it, it's not interesting." Lin Wanrong waved his hand uninterestedly, lost all interest, and didn't even say hello. Turned around and went to the distance. Under the sun. Where can I find someone who can understand him
"Heat energy? Kinetic energy? What exactly is this?" Xu Zhiqing frowned and thought hard, and suddenly saw that Lin San who had walked away turned around again, and asked with a somewhat embarrassed expression: "Miss Xu, I want to ask you something?"
"What is it?"
"How to get to the palace?"...
Xu Zhiqing hesitated for a long time before she smiled and said: "What are you going to find the palace for? Is there a place you can go? I'm afraid you haven't come close yet. Someone has already taken it down."
"I'll go around and find someone by the way." Lin Wanrong said with a smile.
"You can have some sweet dreams. The second princess is the proud daughter of the king. She was born noble, and the rich man who wants to see her every day has eight hundred if not one thousand. Don't mistake yourself." Thinking of Lin San before Xu Zhiqing couldn't help laughing at the inexplicable things she said, she was very sensible when she heard what this person said just now, but she was so stupid again in a blink of an eye.
Lin Wanrong smiled and said: "Miss Xu, you must not care about me like this, it will be misunderstood."
Xu Zhiqing said calmly: "Brother Xie is concerned, I have said this to many people, but I have not misunderstood."
You put on a face again, have a personality, and annoy me, so I will find a way to catch up with you, and then dump you, making you regret it forever, hehe, this punishment is vicious enough! He laughed wickedly, Miss Xu seemed to have guessed some of his thoughts, shook her head and snorted, and stopped talking to him.
*******************
Going to the palace to have a look is a great dream. Lin Wanrong's life goal is to do it when he thinks about it, and do his best when he wants to do it. Wandering in front of the outer city, looking at the overlapping palaces and palaces, painted pillars and carved beams, nine beams and eighteen pillars, all of them are exquisite.
The inner courtyard of the imperial palace is not the Xiao family courtyard. It is not for entering and exiting as soon as you want. Right now, it is standing outside the moat, and the front is heavily guarded. It is difficult to go any further. Lin Wanrong is extremely calm, he is not a fool, even if Qingxuan really lives in the palace, there are tens of thousands of houses in the inner courtyard of the palace, where can I find her? Everything has to be considered in the long term.
Standing at the gate, looking at the outer city of the imperial palace, he seemed to see Qingxuan's pretty and upright figure. Does this girl miss me the same
He chuckled, but a small sedan chair got off beside him, and a delicate face protruded from the sedan chair, calling softly: "Lin San, why are you here?"
"Miss, I came here to pick you up!" Lin Wanrong grinned.
Xiao Yuruo blushed, rolled his eyes at him and said, "Not honest! I came here to visit an old friend of my mother's, and it was a temporary decision. Where did you pick me up? I'm afraid you did something bad here!"
Haha laughed twice, seeing that it was getting late, he followed the eldest lady's sedan chair back to the mansion. I told the eldest lady about sending Yushuang to the academy, and when she heard that Xu Wei's daughter was teaching in this academy, the eldest lady nodded and said: "I feel more at ease with sister Xu's taking care of Yushuang. After a few days of busy work, we will go to Mr. Xu's house to visit together, and have a good talk with Sister Xu when the time comes, you see."
"Okay, of course!" Lin Wanrong replied with a smile: "Missy is so busy today, have you gained anything?"
Xiao Yuruo sighed slightly, and said softly: "My mother has been away from Beijing for many years, and these old friends have long been estranged. If you come to visit rashly today, it will be good if others don't give you a cold face. How can you gain anything from talking?"
It's the principle that the tea gets cold as soon as people leave, and it's not the first time you've seen it. Seeing the bleak look on the eldest lady's face, Lin Wanrong consoled her and said: "Things in the world are like this. The more difficult it is, the more you will have a sense of accomplishment if you manage it well. You have to believe in yourself. Besides, even if you don't believe in yourself , you have to believe me, who am I, I am Lin San!"
"I hate it, why don't I believe in myself? Just listen to your bragging." The eldest lady snorted, "The Daxiangguo Temple will hold a flower viewing party in a few days, which is a good opportunity for us. You must not be lazy these few days, Follow me every day and plan carefully."
"I was originally exploited by you. If you say you won't help me, then you have to eat me?" Lin Wanrong said with a smile: "Speaking of which, we have earned a lot of money. When will we give the account book to you?" Let me take a look, don't let me make false accounts and blackmail my money."
"You remember the money all day long. When tomorrow comes, I will bring all your money back from the bank. You can sleep in your arms." Seeing his playful smile, the eldest lady felt an indescribable annoyance in her heart, humming road.
Seeing an opportunity that Mrs. Song couldn't see, Lin Wanrong sneakily stretched her head to the side of the sedan chair, and said frivolously, "Then I'll hug you, hugging you is equivalent to hugging money."
The eldest lady's heart jumped a few times, she turned her head away from him, and said softly: "Shameless! Don't try to trick me, I'm not Yushuang, only she will listen to your nonsense."
Lin Wanrong secretly stretched out his hand and scratched the back of her hand. The eldest lady hurriedly withdrew her hand, blushing, and hummed softly, "What are you doing? Someone is watching! Don't think I'm as easy to bully as Yushuang! "
Lin Wanrong flirted with her for a while, and said with a smile: "Speaking of Yushuang, I really miss it. She went to the academy, and in this inner courtyard, there are only me and the eldest lady, alone, I am really afraid, well-"
The eldest lady was terrified when she heard this: "You, what are you going to do? If you dare to bully me, I will tell mother!"
"Then what if you bully me?" Lin Wanrong said with a grin, "Am I going to tell your mother too? How can I be ashamed? I'm a decent person—"
Xiao Yuruo didn't dare to listen anymore, and glared at him angrily: "Don't think that I'm such a casual girl, if you dare to have any wrong intentions, I'll—"
"Okay!" Lin Wanrong smiled softly: "Don't threaten me. I'm joking with you, do you take it seriously? There are many women waiting for me to do something wrong, and you have to wait in line for three months! "
The eldest lady put down the curtain and shouted loudly in the sedan chair: "The bearer of the sedan chair, hurry up! Mrs. Song, order me down, don't prepare Lin San's dinner tonight! Those who lined up to serve him have been waiting for three months."
As expected, the eldest lady did what she said, and no one came to greet him this dinner, and Lin Wanrong didn't care, as the beating was kissing, the scolding was love, it would be strange if he didn't beat him or scold him.
Lying on the bed, drowsy, suddenly heard a light creak, and the door was opened.
The eldest lady finally couldn't help it anymore, he was overjoyed, and got up hastily, when he saw the person walking in from the door, he was taken aback, and said in surprise: "You, what are you going to do, don't come here , I yelled molested—”
*******************
It's the end of the month, too many things to do, continuous overtime work, so tired that I fell asleep lying on the bed, one word - so fucking tired! After these few days, let’s have a small explosion on the weekend. Brothers who have tickets still support it, thank you, ha ha!
