Adhering to the idea that beatings make for good children, Zhu Ping'an returned home at night to educate his children.
Before dawn the next day, Zhu Ping'an walked out of the house, rubbing his waist, his legs swaying slightly.
There is no way, Zhu Pingan attaches too much importance to education. He educated the child last night and educated him again when he opened his eyes early in the morning...
As educating the child took up a lot of time, Zhu Pingan hurriedly ate a bun, without even having time to drink the sea cucumber millet porridge. He put on his official hat, took two more buns and put them in his arms to eat on the way, then he opened the curtain and went out to the outer courtyard to lead the horse.
Return to the Zhejiang Army camp.
When Li Shu heard the noise, she didn't even bother to wash up and ran out of the house. She only saw Zhu Ping'an's back as he crossed the courtyard. She heard the maid say that Zhu Ping'an only ate two buns and left without even having the sea cucumber and millet porridge. She couldn't help but chase him to the door.
She leaned against the door and waved her hand, "Brother Zhu, Brother Zhu, have a bowl of ginseng porridge before you leave..."
"It's too late. Three meat buns are enough." Zhu Ping'an's voice came from afar. He waved his hand, walked through the hanging flower gate without looking back, and entered the outer courtyard.
"You don't know how to take care of your body at all." Li Shu stamped her feet and moaned.
Seeing Zhu Ping'an's figure disappear behind the hanging flower gate, Li Shu reluctantly withdrew her gaze and turned to Qin'er, saying, "Qin'er, remember to tell the kitchen to serve the porridge in advance starting from tomorrow. Keep it warm, just the right temperature for drinking. Keep it warm all the time, in case Brother Zhu finds it too hot to use in time."
"Yes, Miss." Qin'er nodded repeatedly.
Since Li Shu had not finished washing up, she went to wash up with the help of Qin'er and Hua'er.
Huh? She's so rosy and shiny even before washing? She's really a vixen who sucks people's blood. She sucked so much that the nerd has tremors when walking...
At the dining table, Ruonan, a seductive woman who looked like she had stayed up late, looked at Li Shu, whose face was rosy, whose skin was smooth, and whose beauty was as bright and attractive as a peach covered with morning dew. She couldn't help but spit on the shameless couple in her heart.
Last night she stayed in Hua'er's room, thinking that the room was not an ear room and was far away from Li Shu and Zhu Ping'an's bedrooms, so it should be fine.
As a result, she never expected that she had underestimated her hearing and overestimated the shame of the two adults. She heard almost everything that went on in the master bedroom, which left her sleepless all night.
After finally working until early in the morning, she was so sleepy that she could not open her eyes. She thought she could finally catch up on some sleep, but something infuriating happened. They started making love again in the master bedroom. The lingering sounds immediately scared her away.
What did this idiot eat last night? Isn’t he afraid of being sucked dry? Can’t he just let people get some sleep?!
This bastard!
I originally thought you were a monk who didn't like women, but I didn't expect you to be a lecher in a monk's robe!
Liu Dadao and others had been waiting in the outer courtyard with their horses. They had already had breakfast. Zhu Ping'an greeted them with a smile, and then they mounted their horses and headed straight for the Zhejiang Army camp.
After entering the camp, Zhu Ping'an inspected the military camp. When he inspected the equipment camp, he heard the rhythmic sound of iron hammering from afar.
The equipment battalion selected a site, compacted the ground, laid blue bricks, and built a tall shed with ventilation on all sides. It was covered with rain-proof and fire-proof felt cloth, and under the shed was a row of iron stoves.
Except for Ou Shangge and Zhang Hong who were obsessed with studying gunpowder and firearms, the rest of the craftsmen and apprentices were working in the furnace to make iron sheets for the lining of cotton armor.
The blacksmith and his apprentice all went to work bare-chested, working in pairs, one swinging a big hammer while the other tapped with a small hammer. One big and one small, one tapping with a small hammer, the sounds were distinct and the rhythm was strong, as if a DJ was playing a melody.
After knocking for a while, it is clamped with tongs and put into cold water for quenching. After quenching, it is returned to the furnace to continue burning. Then it is knocked with a hammer and a small hammer, and then it is put into cold water for quenching again, and then returned to the furnace...
After several attempts, a piece of cotton armor iron gradually took shape.
The soldiers of the logistics battalion were responsible for pushing and pulling the bellows in front of the stove. The furnace was like a flaming mountain with blazing flames burning so vigorously that they seemed to be turning white.
With the soldiers from the logistics battalion pulling the bellows, the hands of the blacksmiths and apprentices were freed, which greatly improved the efficiency of forging iron sheets. The iron sheets for cotton armor lining were forged quickly, better and in greater quantities.
In the cold winter, the scene of everyone sweating profusely made Zhu Pingan very satisfied and happy.
A group of Zhejiang soldiers were training on the parade ground, with the veterans temporarily acting as instructors and training the new recruits.
The new recruits were surprised by the drills of the Zhejiang Army, such as standing at attention, marching at ease, flag signaling, aiming with guns, singing competitions during the intervals, etc. These drills were very different from the drills of the guards they had known before.
Completely different.
"You know nothing. The drills set by our masters are very profound. Do you know what 'it is the duty of soldiers to obey orders'? Drills are your first and most important lesson. First, it helps you to keep in good order. Maintaining formation is the key to victory or defeat in war. Second, it helps you to obey orders, follow orders, and persevere..."
"What do you mean singing is useless? You know nothing. This is a military song. Have you heard the story of the enemy on all sides? If a military song is sung well, it can even motivate thousands of troops..."
In response to the new recruits' questions, the veteran soldiers brought out Zhu Ping'an's original speech and gave them a severe lesson, which made the new recruits convinced. They were obedient by nature, and after understanding the reasons, they practiced even more seriously and performed all the movements properly. They did not slack off during the training, let alone being lazy. Not a single one of them was lazy.
"I am a soldier, I come from the common people..."
Aren’t these lyrics talking about us? We are from the common people…
After hearing the military song, the new recruits felt the same way and sang it with all their hearts, except for the fact that they were a little stumbling in the beginning because they were not familiar with the words, but after singing it a few times and becoming familiar with the lyrics, they sang the military song so loudly.
This seriousness impressed the veterans and made Zhu Pingan very satisfied.
Zhu Mansion.
After taking a bath and washing up, Li Shu had a bowl of pear and bird's nest porridge and ate a steamed bun. Halfway through the meal, she felt uncomfortable in her stomach and hurriedly called Aunt Wang.
Aunt Wang rushed over and checked Li Shu's pulse. After checking her pulse, she felt relieved and comforted her with a smile:
"Miss, don't worry, the young master is fine. He just caught a slight cold, and a bowl of hot soup will be fine."
After hearing that the baby was fine, Li Shu and others finally felt relieved.
"But Miss, the fetus is now seven months old, which is the late stage of pregnancy. The little boy is growing fast and his organs are sensitive. You should try to avoid sexual intercourse, otherwise there is a risk of amniotic fluid rupture and premature birth." Aunt Wang hesitated and reminded Li Shu in a low voice.
Hearing this, Li Shu blushed and nodded, "Thank you Aunt Wang for reminding me."
I can finally have a good sleep, the demon girl Ruonan is about to cry...
