Ms. Xiao pushed out the door, her mind was muddled, and she was in a trance for a while. Come on, Xiao Yuruo looked at his decadent face, was startled, and hurriedly grabbed his hand: "You, what's wrong with you?"
"I'm fine!" He shook his head and said softly, "Miss, over there at the cloth village, is my room still available?"
"Keep it, of course I keep it!" Yu Ruo nodded hurriedly, with tears in her eyes: "You, you are—"
He gave a wry smile and sighed: "Qingxuan doesn't want to see me, and it doesn't make sense for me to stay here. Just go back wherever you came from! It goes round and round, isn't life like this?"
What he said was extremely miserable, and the eldest lady's tears flowed down her cheeks. She gently squeezed his hand, and said softly and firmly, "Wherever you want to go, we will go there! I will always be with you!"
"Big brother—" Qiaoqiao and Ning'er screamed in unison, supported his shoulders from left to right, choked up and said, "Where are you going? This is our home!"
Brothers Lin Xuan and Zhao Zheng seemed to feel their father's desolate state of mind, and burst into tears with a "wow", Liang's cry pierced the night sky, indescribably lonely.
Lin Wanrong hurriedly hugged the twins, patted the swaddling clothes and comforted them: "My dear son, don't cry! Daddy comes back to visit you every day and buy you delicious food!"
Ning'er and Qiaoqiao snuggled up beside him, sobbing, and said softly, "Brother, we will follow you to the death and never separate from you."
"No," he shook his head firmly: "Qingxuan is still in confinement, this is not a joke. Don't get sick, stay at home and take good care of her, and Xuan'er, Zheng'er! I'll go out for a few days My God, it's not far away, maybe I'll be back sometime. Don't worry!"
Can this still cause people not to worry? Luo Ning and Qiaoqiao were anxiously waiting to speak again, but Lin Wanrong suddenly put on an old face: "What? Didn't you even listen to what your elder brother said?!"
This sentence was severe enough, and the two of them wept softly and dared not speak. Looking at their weak and helpless appearance, Lin Wanrong's heart softened, and he winked secretly. Putting his cheek close to the ears of the two of them, he whispered: "Don't worry, brother will be back soon, don't you believe me?"
"Brother!" Qiaoqiao choked with sobs, and threw herself into his arms at the same time as Ning'er.
Xu Zhiqing watched for a while. Seeing that he has made up his mind, he couldn't help tugging at his sleeve and pulling him aside: "You, you really want to leave?"
Lin Wanrong nodded seriously: "Is there any doubt?!"
"How can you be so cruel?!" Miss Xu snorted. Indignantly: "How much wronged you have been, can you compare to Princess Izumo? You have all the masters—why can't she cry twice? I gave birth to two sons for you, and the confinement is not yet full, you You are going to leave her, you, you. Shengdi has a heart of stone?"
Lin Wanrong stared at her with wide eyes. He laughed uncontrollably: "You don't compete with Qingxuan anymore?!"
Xu Zhiqing's face was bright red, and she turned her head and poohed: "Nonsense, I didn't compete with her!"
"Understood. You came to worship the mountain today!" Lin Wanrong hummed, and smiled: "No wonder Qingxuan protects you like that. It turns out that she recognized her sister! She excluded me!"
Seeing his playful smile, Miss Xu was ashamed and annoyed. Angrily said: "I don't know how you can still laugh, you don't think about it, if you leave, can the princess still live?"
Lin Wanrong had a sore nose and shook her head: "Let's not talk about this now. Miss Xu, you came just in time, and I just have something to ask you. It is a very, very important thing!"
Hearing him emphasize that it was very important, Xu Zhiqing's heart skipped a beat and her face turned bright red. Hastily lowered his head: "What's the important matter - you won't go to my father, everything is up to his old man!"
Where is it all? Women are really rich in associations! Lin Wanrong's nose was covered with sweat, and he said with a sneer: "Of course I will discuss it with Mr. Xu. I am more anxious than you! But what I want to tell you today is another matter, about Xiyang human affairs!"
After hearing what he said, Miss Xu realized that she had lost her mind. She hurriedly poohed, her face was stained like a red cloth, and she didn't dare to lift her head: "You, you are bullying me again! I don't bother to talk to you!"
My mother is more wronged than Dou E! Xu Zhiqing was at a critical moment of embarrassment and anger, but he couldn't afford to offend her. He could only bite the bullet and laugh a few times, leaning into her ear and saying: "Miss Xu is smart, beautiful, and extremely intelligent. Only you can do this. I wouldn't worry about changing it to someone else!"
"I don't want you to say nice things!" Xu Zhiqing's mouth was hardened, but her heart had already softened. She glanced at him tenderly, and said softly, "What is it? Are you going to blackmail Westerners' money?"
Miss Xu knew me, and Lin Wanrong was overjoyed. He held her hand and said in a low voice, "It's about the same price as the others. I bought an iron-clad ship from the French for ten taels of silver—"
"Ten taels of silver to buy an iron-clad ship?!" Xu Zhiqing's eyes widened: "Is it a Western man-made mold? That's too expensive!"
"What mold? Am I such a fool?" Lin Wanrong rolled her eyes, pinched her palm fiercely, and said angrily: "It's a French iron-clad ship, real iron bumps! There are a lot of musket armor on it, your heart Handy and proficient in machinery, when will you take the craftsmen from the Shenji Battalion up to have a look?!"
Miss Xu was overjoyed, and stared at him closely: "Westerners' cannon armor?! You, you want us to imitate it?"
He smiled and shook his head: "Imitation is not enough, it is best to find out the craftsmanship and production methods, and we design and improve ourselves."
When it comes to shooting skills, Xu Zhiqing is one of the best. She pondered for a while, then nodded and said: "It's not difficult to find out how they make it. Musket armor requires craftsmen to be exquisite. It's okay to make one or two, but if you forge a lot , it will be difficult! We lack such molds.”
"That's called precision machining, not moulds!" Lin Wanrong smiled and said, "This is what I want to ask for your help! You are an expert in this field, can you help me select 30 ingenious workers from the folk and magic camps?" , A young man who is good at learning. It is best to come from a poor family.”
Miss Xu was surprised and said: "It's not difficult to choose thirty Han family youths, but if you want this
What? "
Lin Wanrong said lightly: "I have already negotiated with the Frenchman. Every year, 30 teenagers will be selected to go to the West with him to learn mechanical skills! They will come back in three to five years. On the one hand, they can build a workshop in the Shenji Camp. Invent and improve military equipment. In addition, invite them to Shengfang College to teach and preach. Pass these skills on to more folk craftsmen. Let them invent and create! We send people to the West every year, every year There are people who come back from their studies and continue to learn, develop, and create—Grandma, if you do this, you still lag behind Westerners, I cut off my fucking head and used it as a chamber pot!"
The first few sentences are powerful and powerful. There are even some appearances, but in the end, it is revealed that it is ruffian. Unbearable to educate! Xu Zhiqing stared at him blankly, with surprise and joy on her face. The expression in the eyes reveals, as if infatuated.
Lin Wanrong stretched out his finger, shook it in front of her, and said with a smile: "I admit that I am handsome, but you don't have to look at me like that! Everyone knows that I am very shy—"
Miss Xu suddenly held his hand, her cheeks flushed red. Said softly: "You are amazing! You are the most amazing person I have ever met in my life!"
—
His heart skipped a beat. Frivolously said: "I am powerful in many ways, which one are you referring to? Oh—"
Before he finished speaking, he felt his body being hugged. With tears streaming down her face, Xu Zhiqing hugged him tightly. His cheek was pressed against his ear, and his heart was trembling: "When will you come to meet me?! I don't want to wait a day!"
The female military division has always been calm. It is rare to be so excited. Lin Wanrong's heart warmed, and he stroked her hair and said softly, "Whatever it is, we have to wait for Qingxuan to finish her confinement. The man is in charge of the outside. The woman is in charge. She is in charge of everything in the house!"
Master Xu hummed and raised his head shyly. Suddenly remembered that he was going to run away from home. Dayton felt a little sad again.
The night outside the window was dark, it was getting late, Xuan'er and Zheng'er had already fallen asleep in their cradles. There was an innocent smile on her red and tender cheeks. He lowered his head, scented his son's delicate face a few times, and then let out a long breath. He glanced around the room with nostalgia, gritted his teeth, turned around and walked out of the room.
The carriage is ready. Seeing him coming, Yushuang couldn't help but her eyes turned red: "Bad guy, don't you think about it anymore? Princess sister is so pitiful to stay here alone. And the baby—"
He had a sore nose, and sighed silently: "Qingxuan doesn't want to see me, I'd better leave, lest she get angry when she sees me, and the root cause of the disease will fall during the confinement period, and it will be difficult to cure in the future!"
"Brother—" Qiaoqiao grabbed his hand, choking with anxiety.
Lin Wanrong patted her face gently: "Hey, you and Ning'er take good care of Qingxuan and the baby, and the distance from Buzhuang to home is not far, I will come to see you every day! When you miss me, you can also come to Buzhuang Find me, um, I'll change to a big bed immediately when I go back!"
Ning'er was crying uncontrollably, but when she heard his words, her tears burst into flowers, and she pinched him a few times, feeling bitter, ashamed and flattering!
"It's getting late!" The eldest lady said softly and helplessly while looking at him.
Lin Wanrong hummed softly, looked back at the warm attic, his eyes gradually moistened, suddenly took a long breath, leaned over and got into the car...
***************************
In the fragrant boudoir, Miss Xiao held her pretty face with one hand, looked at the lightly burning red candle, crying, laughing, joy, and worry from time to time, as if there were all kinds of feelings gathered in her heart.
The door of the boudoir opened with a clatter, and Qin Xian'er rushed in like the wind, her face pale: "Sister, it's not good! My husband—"
"What happened to him?!" Xiao Qingxuan was surprised.
Miss Qin lowered her head, her eyes were misty: "Sir, he's gone!!"
"What?!" Miss Xiao suddenly stood up, her face turned pale, her body shook a few times, and she fell down trembling.
"Sister—" Qin Xian'er was so frightened that she lost her soul, her figure was like lightning, and she was about to support her weak body.
Xiao Qingxuan's eyes were straight, his face was ashen, tears were surging like a spring, and he murmured silently: "Where did he go? Why didn't you stop him? This cruel man!"
Qin Xian'er's eyes were red and swollen, and she said weakly: "My husband said, my sister doesn't want to see him, he will go back wherever he came from, and the world is like this!"
"My silly gentleman!" Thinking of the desolate state of mind when he said this, Miss Xiao's heart was like a knife, she couldn't help beating her chest and feet, crying bitterly, she tried her best, staggered and struggled to stand up: " I'm going to find him, I'm going to find him!"
Miss Qin hurriedly hugged her, and cried: "No, sister, you are still in confinement, you can't move your nest! It will hurt your body and damage your energy channels!"
Xiao Qingxuan burst into tears, and shook his head bitterly: "My husband doesn't want me anymore, so what's the use of saving the energy in my body! I'm going to find him!"
She pushed Qin Xian'er away, and stubbornly went to pull the latch. Miss Qin was so frightened that she quickly held down her hand: "Sister, you can't move! Don't worry, we'll go look for the husband right away, and we'll definitely get him back! But you can't hurt yourself, or the husband will come back and see you!" , with his affection for you, I'm afraid you will never be happy for the rest of your life! Even if you don't think about yourself, you have to think about him, and our Xuan'er and Zheng'er—"
When the two children were mentioned, Xiao Qingxuan collapsed immediately. Miss Qin hugged her in tears, put her on the bed and tucked her quilt, and then hurriedly left the room.
Ms. Xiao's eyes were dull, longing for acquaintance, acquaintance, and love with her husband, scenes and scenes flashed before her eyes.
First meeting by the lake, night chats in thatched huts, and love in the mountains, he beat up the Holy Square for her, and he did not hesitate to make the world an enemy!
The astringent sourness and endless warmth and sweetness came to her heart together, causing her to feel a tearing pain in her heart.
"Lin Lang, where are you? You killed me!" She suddenly called softly, her face was as white as paper, and her tears instantly soaked the pillow!
A big trembling hand stretched out from behind, with a sharp tremor, gently stroked her cloud-like hair: "Honey, are you calling me?!"
