Carrying AK into Ming Dynasty

Chapter 536 Uncle's New Hobby
"Kun Xing has met the two older sisters." Seeing the second daughter coming, Kun Xing immediately greeted her and said with a blessing.

"I have seen your highness the two princesses!" Sun Xiuxiu and Yang Xue were surprised to see that the current princess saluted them both first, and they did not care that the child in their arms was about to salute.

"Sister, don't ask me to do this, so please excuse me!" Liu Hongjian was right next to him, Kun Xing didn't dare to ask Sun Xiuxiu to greet her, and hurriedly stepped forward to support his arm and said.

"Ahh——Daddy, hug—" Xiao Aotian, who was babbling, started to fuss in Yang Xue's arms after seeing Liu Hongjian.

"Xiao Aotian, let me hug you?" Kun Xing said with a smile to Yang Xue's arms.

Yang Xue was also tired of holding the child and handed the child to Kun Xing. Kun Xing lived in the deep palace for a long time and saw that the child liked it.

"Sister, Zhaoren wants to hold his little brother too." Zhaoren, who had just washed his hands, trotted over and grabbed Kunxing's arm.

"My sister is good, you still can't hold her, let me show you." Kunxing knelt down and teased Xiao Aotian with Zhaoren.

"Father——hug—hug." Xiao Aotian was unhappy and wanted to cry, so Kunxing had to get up and hand the child to Liu Hongjian.

"I've been a little busy with my husband these days. Xiu'er, don't stay at home all the time. Now the two princesses are here too. If you have nothing to do, you can go out for a walk together." Liu Hongjian coaxed the child while talking to the four of them. explain.

After a while, Liu Hongjian saw a few women chatting about their daily routines, but Liu Hongjian didn't have a chance to interrupt, so he went out and turned left to look for Uncle Chongzhen.

The uncle's new residence has been newly furnished. Compared with the spacious Qianqing Palace, although the yard is a bit small, it is extraordinarily unique. All the furniture is new, and the windows on both sides are also polished glass.

After reporting, Liu Hongjian entered the yard, where Chongzhen was sitting in the gazebo in the yard reading a book.

"Youming is here." Chongzhen put down the calligraphy in his hand, and saw that the book was nothing but "Heavenly Creation of Things" written by Uncle Song.

"Is the emperor interested in engineering?" Liu Hongjian teased.

"Hehe, I don't know what to do once I've been busy for 20 years. I happened to see an idle book in the room and read it." Chongzhen took a sip of the tea on the stone table.

"This isn't an idle book, it's our treasure from Xishan and even Daming!" Liu Hongjian said with a smile.

Thanks to Liu Hongjian's blessing, Song Yingxing and Xu Guangqi's works "Tiangong Kaiwu" and "Nongzheng Quanshu", which have not been funded or valued by the court, were all published with Liu Hongjian's support. Everyone has a copy.

"I want to grow some vegetables in this yard, can Youming find some seeds for me?" Once a busy person is free, he becomes addicted to cigarettes like a quitter, and Chongzhen's heart is empty.

"It's easy to talk about, I will send some over in a while." More exercise is good for health, so Liu Hongjian naturally agreed.

The two chatted and talked about the steam engine that Liu Hongjian and Song Yingxing were trying their best to improve. Chongzhen didn't know why, so he always heard Liu Hongjian talking about this magical thing, so he got up and went to the ordnance station on the mountainside with Liu Hongjian.

After continuous experiments and improvements, the steam engine can now link multiple cylinder banks to drive the flywheel.

Since the original intention was to use it for warships, Song Yingxing has now begun to install propellers according to the drawings.

There is also a model of Fuchuan No. [-] in the laboratory, and Song Yingxing is trying to figure out how to assemble the steam unit into the bottom of the cabin.

"The emperor is here!" Suddenly there was a call of a drake outside the house. Uncle Song was taken aback. He quickly ordered his servants to turn off the rumbling steam engine, and he took a cloth to wipe his oily hands casually. , trotted out to salute.

"Song Aiqing is flat, I want to see the steam engine." Chongzhen said to the craftsmen who were kneeling on the ground with a smile.

Song Yingxing invited Chongzhen into the laboratory with a nervous expression, and then gave Liu Hongjian a sneaky look, meaning why he didn't notify in advance, and it would be enough to let him change into clean clothes!

The steam engine was started, and the connected propeller device began to rotate immediately, and the whistling wind formed an air current, and Chongzhen secretly smacked his tongue while watching.

"My Majesty, the steam engine can now drive the propeller, and the rotation of the propeller will generate forward propulsion after entering the water.

If it is installed on a warship, it can free the warship from the shackles of the sails, and it can sail even against the wind. "Song Yingxing is full of energy now, pointing to the steam unit in operation.

"Your Majesty, this is the power of machinery!" Liu Hongjian said seriously.

Chongzhen nodded and looked around the steam engine, but he didn't fully understand the principle of the steam engine, so he asked Song Yingxing.

The two questioned and answered, leaving Liu Hongjian aside, and it took Chongzhen a long time to understand.

So in the next few days, Chongzhen seemed to have found his direction in life, and every morning he changed his clothes and walked around looking for Song Yingxing.

Even the books he read became the textbooks of the engineering college. Liu Hongjian was worried that Chongzhen would be bored, so he always went to read them after finishing the affairs in hand.

Later, Chongzhen thought Liu Hongjian was an eyesore, and told him to go and spend more time with Kunxing and Zhaoren when he had nothing to do. Liu Hongjian also had dark lines all over his face.

In the past few days, he has been tossed about by Zhaoren's little girl. Every morning is a good time for him to sleep in. His wife and servants know Liu Hongjian's habit and dare not call her.

But Zhaoren didn't care about this, he sneaked into Liu Hongjian's bedroom early in the morning and pestered him to take him out to play.

Once Liu Hongjian got up and came out, he would always see Princess Kunxing standing in the courtyard and smiling at him.

Sun Xiuxiu and Yang Xue already knew what the emperor meant, and they already regarded Kunxing as their younger sister in their hearts. They were busy raising their children, so they deliberately left space for them.

Liu Hongjian also acquiesced to this, Kunxing had a quiet personality and never disturbed Liu Hongjian when he was busy, and it was rare for the two of them to have some free time to spend together.

To tell the truth, Liu Hongjian's heart was pounding when Chongzhen first mentioned his marriage. At that time, he was just an earl. .

Moreover, the etiquette system of the Ming Dynasty was complicated. At that time, he was worried that if he really married a princess, he would always be restrained when doing something. Now that he is the king of the county, he no longer worries about this.

Liu Hongjian didn't know what Kunxing liked about him, and he thought in his heart that this guy would be a peerless single dog in the future.

But during this period of time, he also understood that the girl Kunxing fell in love with him definitely not because of Chongzhen's instigation, she was a delicate and gentle girl, so indifferent to the world that she looked like a fairy.

Beautiful women love heroes, so Liu Hongjian had no choice but to explain it in his heart.

This kind of life lasted for half a month, and Liu Hongjian also accepted Kunxing who was by his side every day like the little girl next door.

One day Chongzhen called Liu Hongjian to see him. Liu Hongjian entered the yard and found that the uncle was wearing ordinary clothes and was carrying a hoe to loosen the soil for the newly sprouted vegetable seedlings in the yard.

"Youming, Kun Xing is not young anymore. I mean, on the eighth day of next month, the Ministry of Rites will arrange your wedding."
