Carrying AK into Ming Dynasty

Chapter 207 The Handicraft of the Family

Jiadingbo Mansion.

In the backyard of the uncle's mansion, many precious evergreen plants were planted all over the garden, and the plants were pruned very meticulously. However, an old man in his fifties in the middle of the yard was doing something that spoiled the scenery.

"Hey, you lazy bastard, go pick up the mud!"

Zhou Kui, Bo of Jiading, was dressed in coarse linen clothes, and he didn't even wear a beam crown on his head. He just inserted a hairpin at random, and skillfully laid a brick on the baseline with a trowel knife flying up and down in his hand.

A servant hurriedly brought the reconciled cement and put it in front of Jiading Bo Zhou Kui.

The wall has already been built as high as half a person, and Jia Dingbo felt a little tired. He took a towel from the servant and wiped the sweat oozing from his forehead.

"Oh, I'm getting old, I'm afraid the ability to support a family will be lost!" Jia Dingbo sighed, wiping the trowel in his hand.

Jiadingbo's front teeth protrude outwards, the typical big buck teeth of later generations, and his speech leaks, which sounds a bit weird.

"Master, you are the head of the court, or the uncle of Daming. Why do you need to do such dirty and tiring work? In this cold weather, you should go back to your room to rest!" the butler flattered at the right time.

"You know a hammer. This is an old man's skill passed down to my family. How can I lose it?" Zhou Kui became angry when he heard it.

Without this trowel, how could he raise a pair of children?How did his daughter become the empress of Ming Dynasty?
"Yes, yes, the master taught you a lesson." The butler hurriedly apologized, but he was a little speechless in his heart.

Jiadingbo's family, since the Holy Majesty ascended the throne 17 years ago and won the title of earl, has bought fields, land and shops. Now 17 years have passed, there are countless acres of fields and shops, and they have already become rich.

Other courtiers have riches in their families, so they always dress plainly when they go out in order to deceive others, and return to fine clothes and fine food when they are at home.

But Zhou Kui was different. Not only did he wear old and washed white clothes when he was outside, but he was the same at home.

And not only is he frugal, but he is also harsh on the servants and housekeepers in the mansion, and if he makes a mistake, he will be deducted the monthly silver.

In the words of later generations, Zhou Papi and Iron Rooster are also.

Therefore, if he hadn't had a deep understanding of his person and his family's assets, Zhou Kui would have given all the impression that the head of the country was very poor!

Zhou Kui doesn't have any bad hobbies, except being stingy, he builds walls day and night, regardless of season, summer, autumn and winter!

Naturally, outsiders could not invite him, and dared not invite him to be a plasterer. There was no other way, so Lao Zhou specially opened up such a place in his backyard.

Every day, building and dismantling, dismantling and building, year after year are endless.

"Butler Cao, have you checked all the accounts of the shop in the capital? How much money did you earn for us last month?" Zhou Kui took the coat from the butler, put it on his shoulders, and said casually.

"master……"

"Father, something has happened!" Before Butler Cao could speak, a man about [-] years old in a brocade padded jacket ran over from the outer courtyard.

"Oh, I said you son of a bitch, you are so big and so reckless, don't fall!

Broke your clothes and have to make new ones, you prodigal son! Seeing his son Zhou Huairen rushing over, Zhou Kui muttered.

"Father, I'm already in my 30s, why do you still call me a bitch, I'm a dignified uncle!" Zhou Huairen's expression was displeased, his father is really filthy.

"Hey! Don't you just get used to it, what's the matter? It's so urgent!" Zhou Kui didn't care.

Uncle Guo, your father is still the father of the country!Goudan'er has been barking for so many years and how smoothly he barks.

"The charcoal fire shop in our west city was smashed! It was also blackmailed for 3000 taels! 3000 taels, dad!" Zhou Huairen said with emphasis.

"What? Who is so bold to smash the shop of our country's father?" Zhou Kui became furious when he heard that, smashing a shop is a trivial matter, and he felt sorry for the 3000 taels of silver that was extorted.

That's 3000 taels, how many brick and tile houses are enough to buy?
"Who else is there, who in this capital does not know that our family has a queen empress, that is the Marquis of An Guo!
It was him who smashed our shop and extorted our money! "Zhou Huairen said angrily.

"The shopkeeper Wang of that shop didn't tell anyone, are we the head of the state?" Although Zhou Kui didn't leave his house, he knew the name of Marquis of An Guo, and he heard that this kid is now extremely favored by the emperor.

"Why didn't you say that, the boy An Guohou didn't stop after hearing this, but even more violent. The 3000 taels of silver was added on purpose after hearing our name. That boy deliberately made things difficult for our Zhou family, father!"

Zhou Huairen was heartbroken when he said that although he is an uncle of the country, he has no skills, but he got a job in the Dudu Mansion under the favor of his sister.

If it was an ordinary person, Zhou Huairen would naturally take someone out to kill that fellow, but An Guohou, he was his immediate boss in the Dudu Mansion, a ruthless man who had killed people, he can't be provoked!
If he suddenly went to the palace to complain to the empress, he would be ridiculed by his sister again.

Therefore, after Zhou Huairen got the letter and weighed the pros and cons, he still decided to come to his father to complain.

Although his father is filthy, but he is the dignified father of the country and the empress's own father!If my sister doesn't give him face, my father must give him face, right?

Now that her own father is being bullied like this, how can a daughter like her be hard-hearted?
"This Marquis An Guo doesn't take our father-in-law seriously! It's unreasonable, I'm so mad!" Zhou Kui was really furious after hearing this.

"No, we have to go to the palace now to seek justice from our daughter!" Zhou Kuiwa gave up his knife, threw it on the ground, and walked towards the house.

"You son of a bitch, you go with daddy too! Hurry up and change into court clothes!" Zhou Kui always knew that his daughter would disown her relatives for the sake of state affairs, so she was worried that she would not do enough to go, so she said to her son behind her.

"Hey, that's good!" Zhou Huairen responded immediately, since he hadn't been to the palace for a long time.

"No, there's no need to change clothes. Let's just wear old clothes. Our family is poor!"

……

Liu Hongjian came out of the Jinyiwei yamen, still feeling very upset, but he had nowhere to vent, so he took Niu Zhuang to ride a fast horse to the residence of Qianhu.

The day before yesterday, the Ordnance Institute was in a hurry, and under the supervision of Karl, who was also impatient, completed the production task of the quick-fire gun ahead of schedule.

The first batch of [-] Suifa guns were immediately delivered to the Qianhu Office in Wansui Mountain, and Liu Hongjian also transferred Carl to the Qianhu Office as he said, to serve as a hundred households.

The teenagers from the Qianhu Institute got the new firearms, and they were adapting quickly. Carl was busy teaching the soldiers of the Qianhu Institute how to use the firearm.

"Well, you've practiced well!" Liu Hongjian praised when he saw the rows of teenagers raising their guns and shooting intently.

Seeing the boss coming, everyone stopped what they were doing and came over to salute.

"But just practicing marksmanship is not enough, the power of a gun is always not enough, how can you resist Jiannu's cavalry!

Carl, have you heard of the Rifle Array? "
