Red Mansion Soldiers

Chapter 35 A

The deer are on the run!

The head deer looks back from time to time to check whether it has shaken off the enemy.

The moment he looked back, a sudden arrow shot it in the right eye, and the arrow passed through the back of the head, opening the deer's skull.

The deer fell violently to the ground and was thrown seven or eight feet away. The whole deer twitched non-stop, its limbs twisted.

Seeing that the leader was dead, his herd of deer immediately scattered and fled in all directions, but they didn't know that they had already entered the encirclement nets one by one.

"Okay!" A group of soldiers behind him cheered loudly, but Jia Hun ignored it, and drew another arrow, which jumped over the deer carcass on the ground, and chased after another strong stag.

irritable!

Since I poisoned Jia Zhu three days ago, I was called out to drink flower wine that night by some evil animals. I was so dizzy that I seemed to say that I would take my sister for an outing in the future, and some animals said they would also Take a good girl with you.

Anyway, there are not many people, just go, and make it lively.

Things went as planned as expected.

When I went out this morning, I was still wondering why Nancheng was so congested. Who would have imagined that Nanhaizi, which is usually empty, is overcrowded today.

Those few animals promoted the outing in the garden as a blind date meeting!
Yesterday in the capital, it was rumored that those young nobles who had just been ennobled would come to Nanhaizi for an outing, and they sincerely invited young girls who were waiting to marry to join them.It was nothing at first, but when the news spread that His Royal Highness Prince Yiyong would come to join us, the outing party suddenly became the top social place!
Now, most of the unmarried young masters and ladies of Wenwu Xungui's family have arrived, not to mention the children of middle and low-level officials who want to catch a wealthy son-in-law so that they can go further. The young master and miss are also good, they can be said to come out in full force!

When the emperor found out about this in the morning, he just said "I'm free" and gave Chen Jingyuan an order to organize young talents to go hunting in the garden, and then he didn't take any action.

The so-called smart people who had been watching immediately put down their hearts and let their sons and daughters go to Nanhaizi. Until almost noon, people kept coming.

The fantasy of Jia Hun and his lovely wife experiencing their children wrapping around their knees in advance was completely shattered.

What a pity I called Shang Sanchun and Shi Xiangyun today!

After cursing and beating the animals, I felt much better.

However, the emperor made an order, so he had to follow it.

Seeing that the number of people had reached a certain size, Jia Hun decided not to wait any longer and start spring hunting!
After a winter of consumption, the animal's flesh is running out, but it has been two months since the beginning of spring, and it has somewhat recovered.

Spring hunting is "search".

Everyone was lucky, Nan Haizi had banned hunting for three years since the first year of Tiansheng, and found a herd of deer within a few steps.

Jia Hun took the lead and rushed out holding a stone bow.

The three stone bow used for war is used to hit a rabbit and can shoot it in half.

The first arrow killed the deer, and Jia Hun ignored the prey in the ground, leaped past the deer on the ground, and chased after the next target.

The guards behind him stopped for two, put the deer on the horse and went back.

Naturally, the deer had to be dealt with. He went to the small river and dealt with the deer that had been hunted, and then returned with the cut venison.

The girls of the Jia family are already preparing to eat. Of course, the young ladies and Li Shao are at the age of playing. Maza ran to play with other friends before sitting in the heat. There are also many children in Nanhaizi today. .

On the Jia family's territory, only Yuan Chun, Li Wan, Li Peilan and Wang Xifeng were left to work there.

Beads of sweat were hanging on her delicate face, which had a special flavor.

The young masters wanted to get to know some girls, but they were chased away by the vicious soldiers just before they reached the small slope. Just about to argue a few words, the soldiers pointed to the Jia Ziya flag behind them, looking disheartened gone.

. . . . . .

"Chen Si, the dog day, you spoil my good deeds!"

"what!!!"

The enemy was extremely jealous when they met, and Jia Hun, who was chasing the deer in the forest, ran into Chen Jingyuan, who was resting in the open space in the forest.

Seeing that Chen Jingyuan was about to run away, Jia Hun jumped off his horse and threw Chen Jingyuan to the ground with a swoop.

Chen Jingyuan, who was unable to get in by three or five big men, had no ability to resist under Jia Hun's suppression.

"Stop stop. I was wrong, you go first!"

After all, he was also a prince, Jia Hun snorted coldly, gave him face, and pulled him up from the ground.

Chen Si patted the dust off his body, took a few breaths, and then spoke.

"It's not that the brothers don't have a wife yet. The other day I heard that you were going to visit Nanhaizi for an outing. The brothers decided to invite more people to go on a blind date."

"Wait, blind date? I remember that Lao Niu and Lao Shi's family gave him a good look, right?"

"Hey, you've been running a banquet these days and busy with private meetings with beauties, how can you have the energy to take care of the suffering of us bachelors?
Lao Niu’s family showed him a daughter-in-law, but at that time in the west, you don’t know the portrait, if you pay more, Wuyan Niang Niang can paint you a Xi Shi, that woman also came a few days ago The government of Zhen Guo met with Niu Zhao, and guess what? "

"What's the matter, it's ugly?"

"Is it enough to be ugly? That woman..."

"That girl has a palm-sized face, with black birthmarks accounting for more than half of it. That's fine. I don't pick anyone if she's nice, but he still has squinting eyes!"

Niu Zhao also walked to this open space.

"It's okay to squint. My old cow is not the kind of person who takes a fancy to skins. After all, if you marry a wife and talent, it's a big deal to drink flower wine, but do you know what she said when she saw me?"

"What?" Jia Hun became interested.

"She said that I was greedy for her dowry! She said that my entire Zhenguo mansion has become a shabby household, and I rely on her dowry to maintain my dignity. It seems that I have married lowly!
The relationship between me and my aunt is not good. Originally, she asked this woman to marry me because she wanted to disgust me and make people unable to pick the thorns. After all, her dowry is really thick, and the dowry of 300 million taels of silver is reasonable. I agree..."

Niu Zhao blushed.

"But who would have thought that my aunt was disgusted to myself, and she seemed to be incapable of housekeeping. That expression is so black that it is about to catch up with your elder brother... You are a dark horse, I laughed to death, I The aunt kicked her out on the spot. Fortunately, it was a verbal agreement, otherwise it would be troublesome.

I was just a small lieutenant when I was engaged to marry her. Marrying her is indeed like eating soft food, but it is different now, brother, I am also an earl, and my father is also on the same level as me!How can you marry such a person?

My father couldn't hold back anymore, saying that he didn't care about my marriage and let me choose it myself. "

Niu Zhao laughed out loud.

"Then, Lao Shi is also in this situation?"

"No, the old Shi's ran away in the first half of last year, and the woman's natal family didn't look for it carefully, so she passed away thinking about fooling around. Anyway, it was just a verbal agreement. Her natal family passed down poems and books for generations, and they didn't look down on her." Taishang Lao Shi, Qiu Ba, thought to tell him when he came back.

The results of it?In less than half a month, Lao Shi's booklet of meritorious service was handed over. I remember it was the Viscount. The woman's natal family was dumbfounded. How can there be a title of title in the heirloom of poetry and books?Just kept holding back the news, and wanted her sister to marry her.

How can it be as they wish?That younger sister has a long-standing relationship. At dawn, she sent a maid out of the dog's hole and ran to Shan Guogong's mansion to report the letter. You can guess it later. "

"Tsk, my family is better."

. . . . . .

Another half month has passed.

Lixiangyuan has become a large construction site.

Several catties of seed-removed cotton were beaten repeatedly, and the tired servants who were specially transferred to work rolled their eyes until they were beaten into cotton felt and entered the next process.

The best cotton cloth is stacked layer by layer, pasted on both sides of the cotton felt, and cut neatly.

On weekdays, the little maids who only make small items such as brocade robes and sachets use awls to pierce holes and thread threads with all their strength.

The younger maids didn't have to work so hard, and ran to the front yard of Rikain with the formed cloth in their arms.

A few days ago, the iron sheet made by the clan uncle who opened a blacksmith shop on Rongning Street was also placed on the table.

With his upper body bare and his chest full of scars exposed, Jia Hun was hammering on the rivets piercing through the cloth. The arrangement of the iron pieces was not as dense as the classic armor, but spread out. The sides are connected, and copper nails are chiseled in the small holes at the four corners, and a piece of cloth face armor is done.

Of course, this is just a test piece with a length and width of one meter.

"Hu Jiu, come on, take it and hang it on the target. I want to try my defense."

Hu Jiu, a personal soldier, quickly hung the cotton armor on the target on the other side of the yard.

He took out a stone bow used for hunting, stretched out the bow and shot an arrow at the target, and nailed it to the cotton armor.

"General, it didn't penetrate, it didn't penetrate!" Hu Jiu stayed not far from the target, seeing that he had already hit the nail, he hurried up to have a look.A stone bow did not penetrate!
Hu Jiu from the old army shouted and jumped excitedly. Seeing this square piece of cloth, Hu Jiu felt excited.

The cost is low, the defense is excellent, and the warmth retention effect is strong. Is there any armor that is more valuable for large-scale equipment than this!

As for the high cost of cotton in the capital, that's not a problem at all. When he was in the Western Regions, he also saw how much cotton the locals had grown.

In fact, his own general is also vigorously promoting the cultivation of cotton. He used to think that so much cotton was planted to make cotton cloth and sell it in the customs, but now, he finally understood.

I'm afraid the general already had a plan when he was in the west!

Jia Hun, who didn't know what Hu Jiu was thinking, had already walked to the target and took off the armor to examine it carefully.

Indeed, as Hu Jiu said, the arrow didn't shoot through the cloth, and when it was hung back, Jia would draw out his waist knife and start the chopping test.

After a few knives, the cotton cloth did appear damaged, but it was not serious, only a few layers of cloth were cut.

Jia Hun then ordered people to bring a few weapons that he used frequently, and began to test the defensive power of the cloth one by one.

It will be over in a short time.

"Hahaha, not bad, not bad, the effect is not bad, although it is said that the defensive power of slashing is not as good as that of iron armor, but it can't stand the high overall performance.

The most important thing is that it's cheap, and you don't need to spend a lot of money every time you do a manicure. "

Although it is said that the popularization of cotton cloth has not been completed in this year, but it is coming soon. In the second half of this year, the cotton of the first year in the Western Regions will be put on the market, and the cotton clothes will be shipped to the Central Plains for sale, attracting everyone to grow cotton, and the price will come down. .

Quietly completed a major event that will be recorded in history forever!

The cloth face armor was perfected by him!

Yes, perfect.

This thing actually appeared many years ago, but at that time, silk and other high-end products were used.

Most of them are used for ceremonial guards. If you really wear such a suit to fight, you are going to be a target for others.

"Lin Zhixiao, hurry up and inform the whole court that everyone will reward you with ten taels of silver!"

The front yard and the back yard suddenly became lively, shouting the general Wan Sheng.

Jia Hun was very useful.

"Come on, take a break, let's rush to work today and try to make five sets of armor in three days!"

"Ah? Ah..." The servant girl, who was so happy to hear the money, lowered her head again, wanting to cry without tears.

　I can't do it, I can't do it anymore, I went out to drink some wine with my friends this afternoon, my mind is mixed, and now my sleepy face is about to hit the keyboard several times, I really can't write anymore.As compensation, [-] words will be updated tomorrow.

　　I'm very sorry to keep you all disappointed.
