Walking into the Red Mansion starts from the maid

She originally thought of finding another way with Lin Yu, but for some reason, the Firearms Camp became a lot friendlier to her after that day, and the matter that she had originally kept tight-lipped suddenly started to loosen up.

He even took the initiative to send a young soldier to reply, "My master said, Doctor Zhao, what kind of piston are you talking about? Not to mention colored glaze, it can also be made of iron. Do you know the folk bellows? It is made of wooden boxes and handrails..."

He kept talking, in short, this is what Zhao Lu wants. As long as he has the dimensional drawings, he is guaranteed to be able to make it. The steelmaking technology of our camp is this!
He gestured with his thumb, looking a little proud.

Ever since humans learned that better quality steel could be obtained by mixing cast iron and wrought iron in proportions 800 years ago, weapons have become increasingly sharp.And this technology obviously has more patented technology points in the military camp than in the private sector.

"Then why not make firearms?" She was a little curious. Is it still humanitarian to expel foreigners?They had no sense of humanity when they robbed the people at the frontier.

Besides, firecrackers are not a rare thing. There is a beautiful chiming clock in the Jia Mansion. It was Wang Xifeng’s dowry ten years ago, and foreigners brought firecrackers into the Central Plains earlier than clocks.

Hearing this, the young soldier laughed and said that he didn't know this, and he was afraid that Zhao Lu would ask more questions, so he hurriedly said: "If Dr. Zhao has any questions, just come to our camp. My master is an old man here." People know a lot more than me."

Zhao Lu responded with a smile and climbed up the pole with a smile, patting his chest and promising that he would come to the door with the drawings in two days. Don't turn her away then.

Today, she was going back to the city with the army to purchase medicinal materials, and she also wanted to pay interest to Xiaohong on the way. Only by keeping things going can this business continue for a long time.

Returning to the city was a military carriage, which was much faster than an ox-cart. The horse suddenly changed from a Volkswagen to a Rolls-Royce, and when faced with Penghua, who was pedaling hard on his bicycle, he couldn't bear it.

So he comforted him: "You ride the bike when you return to the city. When you leave the city, you take the carriage and I ride the bike."

People can't just stroll around when they have nothing to do. When Penghua entered the city, she couldn't say that she was ugly. Even with Hu Junrong and the others as guarantees, she was still stopped at the city gate.

The city gate guard laughed bitterly and pushed Zhao Lu's purse back with a very reluctant look in his eyes. He hurriedly said: "Adults, how can I, a young man, be the master of this? Please spare me, the capital is busy right now. , you are only allowed to go out but not enter. If you didn’t have the dispatch documents, I wouldn’t even dare to let you in!”

"Why?" Everyone asked again and again. Although Penghua was not from the main urban area of ​​​​the capital, her household registration was in a decent family in the villages and towns under the jurisdiction. Now she is working as a half-servant in Xidaying, and she has not been there for half a year. I have been stopped.

"Oh, big trouble, big trouble! You said it was the Rongguo Mansion. You reported it to Jingzhao Yin Yamen, saying that something was missing from your house! It was a gift from the emperor. You said that I am working as an official and reporting to the official. I really have such a big head. I heard it once!”

As the guard said this, the voices around him became louder. It was just that the thief was also capable of stealing the things given by the emperor, and he succeeded in stealing, forcing everyone to report to the official. It can be seen that he really searched the mansion. I couldn’t find it, I was forced into it!
Oh, the things given by the emperor represent the kindness of the heavenly family, and the ministers can only offer them. This is lost. This is indeed the first time I have heard of it in ancient times...

Zhao Lu and his party were also very surprised, but everyone had important things to attend to, so they did not delay and arranged for people to stay in a nearby temple. Zhao Lu did not forget to register the offerings of fast food and warned: "Don't go out. I'm walking around, I don't know what's going on right now, and I'll be in trouble if I get into trouble."

Not only were ordinary people not allowed to stroll around casually, they were not even allowed to stay in inns without documents. Those bright and clean inns would only accommodate people who were either rich or noble, and no matter how bad they were, they had to be scholars.

Ordinary people?Ordinary people can just have a ruined temple to hide themselves from.

She took two steps, then came back and waved to Penghua. Penghua leaned over and listened to Zhao Lu say: "Those who have paid for the fast food can eat as much as they can."

Normally, a full meal outside can only cost you ten yuan, but this temple has the word "merit", so one meal costs fifty yuan. Although it provides a safe environment for taking a rest, it is really a shame to become a monk.

……

When Daiyu got up from her nap, she was listening to Zijuan's message when Mrs. Wang came to her door.

"I didn't even hand over a post because I'm sure our girl is feeling well and can't refuse relatives, right?" Xue Yan complained softly in the corridor, completely unaware that her girl was awake.

Zijuan called her softly, "Don't talk nonsense. It's better for our girl to call my wife aunt. You don't have to arrange it like this. I'm going to see if the bird's nest is ready. The girl is about to get pregnant now."

Everyone, big and small, obviously had some complaints about Mrs. Wang.

This made Daiyu a little stunned. Could it be that she didn't like her aunt, so they knew it so clearly?My aunt is a talkative but thoughtful person, and she is also a master who never goes to the Three Treasures Palace for anything. Now that she comes to the door rashly, she must not be a relative. Could it be that the 1 taels have been spent again?

Thinking about this, she blushed a little, warning herself not to think too much.

The soft smoke tent was arranged by the palace. To show respect, Xue Yan did not say anything about changing it. After all, the smoke-like tent matched the girl in her family who was like an immortal. She stood up in the smoke. The figure called Snow Goose and Zijuan were startled.

"Girl, are you awake? Why didn't you call us? Do you want some hot tea? Shuanzi went to Hangzhou and specially sent someone to bring this spring's Longjing tea to the girl..." Xueyan chattered, unable to cover her face. Every period of Ai Ai.

A girl has strict rules, but she just made a mistake.

Zicuckoo was also a little uneasy, and kept picking up the things with her hands and feet, fearing that something would be missing when Daiyu got up, but these were all things done for old people, so how could something be missing?

Seeing the two of them milling around like squirrels hiding food, Daiyu had a smile on her lips and looked as usual. She never mentioned the two little girls' gaffes and said softly, "Didn't you say that my wife is here?"

Forget it, my house is not as crowded as the Jia family, so it would be better to ask them to relax more quickly.

When meeting Mrs. Wang, Daiyu was wearing a pink-blue flower-collared gown and a moon-white embroidered horse-face skirt. The red begonias embroidered by Suzhou were vivid and bright, which made Daiyu's face look very good.

Mrs. Wang was secretly thinking that Jia's house had never done her anything wrong. She looked sick all day long, but she was fine as soon as she left the house. It was really uncomfortable.I just changed my mind and thought that I came here with a request. I quickly suppressed these faint thoughts, smiled, made a look of concern, and asked about my daily life and food.

"It's my fault for asking my aunt to worry. I don't have much to do right now. Half of the land on Zhuangzi has been rented out, and I won't see any harvest for a while. My account is at the bottom. I just hope that Shuanzi can make a fortune when he goes south. Come on." He rambled here and there, finally getting the conversation to money.

It's not that she is stingy, it's just that there is really no cash in her account. For Baoyu's sake, it's always hard for her to refuse.Instead of waiting to be asked to speak out, it is better to spread the table first, so as not to say that you don't have money when borrowing money, which will ruin the harmony.

She thought carefully, but Mrs. Wang smiled and said: "You child, we are adults, and the turnover is just for a while. Where can I ask your descendants to take money to spend it? I am here this time..."

There was some hesitation on her face and some difficulty in speaking, but she did not delay in telling the whole story. This ground-breaking speech shocked not only the maids present, but also Daiyu, whose mouth almost turned into an oval shape in surprise. …

When Zhao Lu saw Xiaohong, he saw that she looked distracted. He couldn't help but wave his hand in front of his eyes, "Business is here, get up and do business!"

"You're here."

The pastry shop was exquisitely decorated, and there was a sweet smell before entering the room. Fortunately, I came after lunch. "What's wrong with you? Isn't Grandma Yun's heart unhappy? Oh my, that maid has to go find Master Yun when he returns home." , It’s so nice to call me grandma..."

"New product, give me a taste!" Xiao Hong said fiercely, her eyebrows almost knotted.

"You kid, what kind of new product is jujube mud cake?" Zhao Lu chewed it thoroughly, took the remaining half piece in his hand, smashed it in his mouth, and said with a smile: "Less sugar, otherwise it will be too sweet."

The highest praise Chinese people have for desserts: not very sweet.

Xiaohong chuckled and sneered a few times, "You can pick up more and eat it later. I'm afraid you won't be able to eat it anymore, so just eat it and cherish it."

"Why!" Zhao Lu was shocked. What's going on? One or two plans for a century-old store are aborted. These days are not that sad, right?She carried the stool to herself, sat down in front of Xiao Hong, took out a lotus-colored purse, and explained that it was interest.

Before Xiaohong could open her purse, she felt a weight on her shoulders. She said in a low tone, "I won't charge you any more interest. Remember to go to Caishikou to collect the corpse for me later. My family's cemetery is all there." Jingjiao, when the time comes, you can also keep these 1000 taels and treat it as our home..."

"Ah, stop, stop, stop, it's broad daylight, don't be so scary." Zhao Lu quickly stopped him, straightened him up again, and said seriously: "I heard at the city gate that Jia's mansion was stolen. What's going on?"

"...Don't you know all this?" Xiaohong wanted to cry, her whole body was as weak as a shrimp, and when the customers saw this, they all exited the door as if nothing had happened, for fear that they would eat something weird.

The waiter in the store was also on the verge of tears. He wanted to tell his boss to go home quickly and stop delaying business here. He got a commission, so every time he took an order, he would lose an order!

Zhao Lu thought about it carefully, his eyebrows twitching wildly, "The imperial gift has been stolen. Is the palace already aware of it and wants to pursue it?"

"That's right." Xiao Hong's face turned as ice as ice, "I don't know who killed Qian Dao. What's wrong with stealing gold and silver? My father said that Zhao Quan is not Zhao Que, and he has already given the master an ultimatum. Your Majesty is furious and feels that the palace is contemptuous of the emperor's power. If there is no explanation before the summer solstice, I'm afraid there will be multiple charges after the autumn."

The emperor was not happy, so it was quite normal to play Nine Clans Xiaoxiao Le.Of course, slaves are not from the nine tribes. Slaves are objects, no different from cloth and food in the warehouse. They are either asked to be killed together, or they are sold again with straw marks.

"What was lost?" Who dares to help sell the items given by the emperor? Jing Zhaoyin is alarmed, and he will definitely find them back.Zhao Lu thought to himself that Jia Zheng would probably no longer be a minister who could be entrusted with important responsibilities in the emperor's heart.

But there was no chance of being entrusted with important tasks.

Xiaohong said sarcastically, "What's the use of this?"But he still replied to Zhao Lu, "I heard it's a bonsai with a crystal inlaid with gemstones."

"..." Zhao Luman's head was buzzing, and a black and white snowflake flashed in front of his eyes. There was only one thought left in his mind: Who knows, he had a hot potato in his pocket. Fortunately, he didn't pull out the golden thread and melt it. Otherwise, how many Nine Tribes are enough to kill them?
Xiaohong was about to cry but had no tears. Just when she was about to curse a few more words, a man suddenly rushed to her and knelt down in front of her. If it weren't for the difference between men and women, the man would have almost hugged her legs. When the two of them lowered their heads, they saw that it was Mrs. Wang’s servant!
The boy's face was red with tears in his eyes, and he begged: "Second Grandma Yun, Second Grandma Yun! Please go back to the house quickly and save our Second Master Bao, he is about to be beaten to death by the Master!"

"Who is saving who?" Xiao Hong raised her foot to kick her, then took two steps back after thinking for a moment, "The wife and the master are in the house, who are we? Did you recognize the wrong person?"

"Grandma Yun Er!" The boy's hands and feet were trembling, and tears came out of his eyes. He said that his wife came back from Miss Lin and the matter has been solved. As long as Baoyu is persuaded not to act nonsense and Miss Lin comes to plead guilty, this trouble will naturally be solved. .

Zhao Lu was stunned and thought, what kind of operation is this?But he still said softly: "You should go back and go through the motions. Since I can come to you, it means that everyone has searched everywhere. Maybe the whole clan will be present. You go back, I have to leave the city."

After hearing that the matter could be solved, Xiaohong didn't stay any longer and asked Zhao Lu to choose a basket of snacks to take back, then she picked up her skirt and left.

What is this called.

Zhao Lu drank all the tea in front of him, stood up and handed the purse to the waiter who was looking after the store. He flicked the hem of his coat and said with a smile: "Give this purse to your grandma later and just say it is interest. Oh, you don't have to pack it for me for snacks." Yes, I have other things to do, so it’s not convenient to take these with me.”

Desserts made of a mixture of sugar and oil are more valuable than food, and Zhao Lu doesn't want to take advantage of this.

The sun was still shining brightly in the afternoon, so she covered her head with a bamboo hat and walked leisurely. Hu Junrong was going back to the Tai Hospital to deliver work papers. She was arranged to buy some daily necessities such as oil and linen needlework and go back to Mrs. Hu. At the moment, I was about to go to the embroidery room.

"Hey, isn't this Yunzhu? Where is your job now?" The strange and sinister Grandma Li in front of me has not been seen for three or two years. Her hair looks grayer than before.

But his face was still as mean as ever, and his treacherous words were even uglier than when he scolded Qingwen and the others. Seeing that Zhao Lu was ignoring her, he said again:

"Why, you don't recognize me? It was me who lifted Xiren's bastard hoof, and you were lifted up by her. Now look at it, they don't care about my precious jade, and they don't care about me either. Wow, oh, oh, everyone has forgotten their true identity. 's little whore,"

A smile overflowed from Zhao Lu's lips, thinking that the old lady might be a little mentally disturbed, so he said harshly on the spot, "It's Grandma Li, look at me, Baoyu has stopped breastfeeding for many years, and we can't remember people anymore. "

The thing this old woman is most proud of is that she has been Jia Baoyu's wet nurse for several years. She has shown off her power and made a demon in Jiangyunxuan. Thinking about it carefully, she still has a penny in her pocket!

What a beautiful person?Therefore, being kicked out later naturally became a knot in her heart. Zhao Lu's words pierced the heart of the other party. If he hadn't been worried about the coming and going of people, he would have jumped up and insulted her in the street.

It's still too embarrassing, Zhao Lu thought to himself, so he chased after him and stabbed him a few more times: "Hey, they say that the nanny is half a mother. I don't know if you can run away when your Majesty punishes you."

Just as he was talking, he saw a donkey cart coming leisurely around the corner. Who was sitting on the front of the cart if it wasn't Lai Shangrong?When Grandma Li saw this, she burst into tears and immediately rushed forward, muttering something like "Master, please make the decision for me".

Zhao Lu hissed, thinking that everything was really inappropriate today, why would enemies gather together.

Just as she was about to slip into the crowd, she remembered that Lai Shangrong's front tooth was broken, so she touched the purse around her waist and thought it would be good to collect some interest.
