A Timely Wife

"This guest officer, do you stay at the top or stay in the shop?" The shop waiter put a white cloth scarf on his shoulders, smiling attentively.

"Is there still room now?" Wang Ziqing asked.

"Yes, how many rooms do you want?" the waiter asked.

"We want five rooms in total, do you have any?" Wang Ziqing asked back.

"Well, it's a bit difficult for the five rooms. Can the guest officers wait for a while and ask the shopkeeper?" the shop clerk said with some embarrassment.

"It's okay, you go on your own, I'll wait for your news here." Wang Zize saw that the waiter in the shop looked distressed, so he opened his mouth to make a relief.

"Hey, okay, I'll ask now. The guests sit down and rest first, and I'll wait a while." The waiter quickly wiped the tables, chairs and benches, and brought a pot of water for Li Ruosong and the others to pour. Only then did I go to the back hall.

No matter how reluctant Chengdong is, Li Ruosong still has to go to Fucheng to take the exam. Liujiagou in Xiahe Village is under the jurisdiction of Qingjiang Mansion, so Li Ruosong naturally wants to go to Qingjiang Mansion to take the scientific examination, not only Li Ruosong, but also Li Ruoshan and Zhou Jinyan. They were all sent here to take part in the childbirth test. In fact, Li Ruoshan and Zhou Jinyan were just going into the water for a test. Li Qi and the others did not report much hope. The family's attention was still on Li Ruosong's performance.

It’s just that a few people came late after all. The better inns in Qingjiang Mansion have already been fully occupied. It is rare for a few inns to have vacant rooms, but there are not as many as five, and the price of one room has more than tripled. Li Ruosong and the others didn't bring much silver with them when they went out. If they all stayed in the inn, they might not have any cash in five days.

The same is true for this inn, the only three rooms are Tian Zi brand rooms, which cost three taels of silver a day, and the five rooms cost nine taels of silver a day, which is enough for the Li family to eat for a year.

In desperation, the group of five had no choice but to change to another inn, but failed to find a suitable one after changing six inns in succession. If they couldn't find a room, the group of them might be driven out of Fucheng.

Fortunately, when the sky was a little dark, Li Ruosong and the others finally found an inconspicuous inn with a few vacant rooms in a small alley. Although it was still a bit expensive, it was affordable for Li Ruosong and others , It’s just a bit difficult to have one room per person as before.

Li Ruosong asked for three rooms, asked Wang Ziqing to take Li Ruoshan to sleep in one room, Wang Zize took Zhou Jinyan to sleep in one room, and himself lived in another room. Naturally, Wang Ziqing and Wang Zize could not sleep on the bed. On the other hand, Li Ruosong asked people to add a bed sheet in each of the two rooms, specially for the two brothers to sleep in.

It took a lot of effort to rush from Liujiagou to Qingjiang Mansion's Fucheng, even if several people came in in a carriage, they couldn't hold on at this time, so they all took a bath early, changed their clothes, and went to bed. Sleep well, didn't even have a dream.

Ever since Li Ruosong left home to rush for the exam, Chengdong's mood has been a little depressed. Li Chenshi is very worried about Erfulang's condition, so he takes Erfulang with him every day, fearing that Chengdong will be too boring.

It doesn't matter to Cheng Dong, he can't concentrate on reading in the room alone, and he is easily distracted, either thinking that Li Ruosong failed the exam, or thinking that Li Ruosong was injured in an accident on the way, or thinking that Li Ruosong was killed by Fucheng. Who in the middle fell in love with others and ran away, as long as she was alone, the messy thoughts in her head couldn't stop at all.

So when Li Chenshi tentatively asked him if he wanted to go to the garment workshop with him, Cheng Dong nodded repeatedly with bright eyes, which made Li Chenshi feel a little sad. Li Chen did not approve of Chengdong before, and felt that Chengdong was not good in anything, but his face was too attractive, and Li Chen's appearance would always make Li Chen feel uneasy. I always worry that Chengdong will be restless in the room.

But after getting along for a long time, I knew that Chengdong was a solid-eyed child, and he didn't want to have such a face. Chengdong himself respected his elders very much. Although he didn't talk much, he was very down-to-earth and thoughtful. Being capable, she is also sincere to her son, and now she is pregnant with her grandson, Li Chen is not a hard-hearted man, but now she feels more pity for Cheng Dong, wishing to give all the good things in the family to her son-in-law Lang sent it.

Chengdong was very bored watching the people in the garment workshop make clothes. Now the people in the garment workshop are rushing to make short-sleeved shirts and military trousers for summer. There will be another ten people joining the martial arts hall next year. They all have to issue military uniforms. If they don’t do well now, it will be very troublesome if they don’t have clothes to wear by then.

At that time, everyone in the garment workshop was busy making winter clothes, thick cotton, strong fabric, and novel styles. The seven or eight embroiderers in the garment workshop wanted to open Chengdong's brain and see what was going on inside. Everything is installed.

Cheng Dong didn't know what these embroidered women were thinking at this time. He came to the garment workshop with a distracted mind at first, but later, when Cheng Dong found out that the things used here were very simple, Cheng Dong Dong couldn't help thinking of something he had always wanted to do but never made it, the spinning wheel.

Chengdong noticed this problem a long time ago. For some reason, this dynasty did not have a good spinning wheel. Most of the tailoring of clothes had to be done by people, which was very time-consuming and labor-intensive. It will take a long time to complete. In this way, if Li Ruosong plans to expand the martial arts hall in the future, their clothes will become a very big problem. At that time, even if all the women in the village come to help, I am afraid they will not be able to keep up supply.

Cheng Dong is very familiar with things like spinning wheels, and he even took them apart out of curiosity. The spinning wheel at home was a birthday present specially given to him by Cheng Dong’s mother in his previous life. Although it was just a simulation, Cheng Dong liked it very much. .

That spinning wheel Chengdong was disassembled, put together and disassembled, tossed several times, and was almost broken by him, but Chengdong's mother didn't care at all, if she bought it for you, it's yours, you can do whatever you want Tossing, but when Cheng Dong dismantled his mother's sewing machine and couldn't put it back together, Cheng Dong was beaten up by his mother for the first time.

Chengdong didn’t know until he grew up that the sewing machine was a betrothal gift from his unfavorable father to his mother. When his father and his mother got married, there were four popular items, and the sewing machine was one of them. The other three major items are flashlights, radios and watches. Those who can take out these four major items are considered to be in good condition at home.

It's a pity that his father left early and couldn't see him. His mother has always cherished that sewing machine. Woke up, it's no wonder Chengdong's mother wasn't angry.

Chengdong was a child with strong hands-on ability since he was a child. He has handled all the large and small appliances in the house, so when he saw that the spinning wheel used by Mrs. Li Chen was still a very old one, he moved his mind. He was able to toss out a simple version of the sewing machine. Wouldn't it be easy to make clothes in the future?

Thinking is worse than doing, Cheng Dong started to think about how to get the sewing machine out with his big belly, stainless steel is no need to think about it, the current smelting technology is given him another 20 years, he may not be able to overcome this technology, and silver needles are not needed Considering that the silver is too soft, the needle might be bent after stepping on the pedal for a while. The iron needle is not very safe. After all, it is easy to rust.

Well, in the end, I can only focus on the embroidery needles, but I don’t know how the embroidery needles are made, and whether they can withstand it. Chengdong wants to do experiments, but he is in pain sitting now. , not to mention letting him lie there to write and draw for experiments.

Although the experiment cannot be done, the basic idea has already come out. Chengdong finally found something for himself to distract him. Thinking of the sewing machine, Chengdong thought of a very interesting weapon, the tiger crouching gun, which is good Ah, it is the ancient version of the mortar. If we can get this thing out, I don’t know how comfortable it will be to fight an encounter. In addition, there are red cannons and ten-shot muskets. These old antiques that are dusty in memory Picked up from the corner of memory.

In the government office of Qingjiang Mansion, a man about 50 years old was pacing anxiously in the study room. Seeing this, the staff around him asked, "My lord, is there something bothering you?"

"Well, I really don't know how to deal with this matter. I don't know if it's right or wrong to ask you to come here today." The magistrate stroked his beard, and his hands almost pulled it off, causing him to shiver in pain. .

"Adults may wish to tell the younger ones to listen, and also to share the worries with Sir Wei." The staff said.

"Forget it, those of us who handle this matter well will definitely have no merit, but if it's not handled well, I'm afraid that the old man, the prefect, will be able to do it well." The prefect sighed for a long time, and looked at the people in front of him. .

The staff members glanced at each other, and they were all a little surprised, "I don't know what makes you so worried?"

"Our concubine Wan Gui's younger brother is going to participate in the Enke this time, and the higher-ups have already sent a message that no matter what, this kid must be eliminated. This, this, this is not embarrassing for the old man." The magistrate stomped his feet resentfully. , with a rather resentful look.

Several staff members were taken aback, Concubine Wan Gui's younger brother?Jieyuan?Is this really not what they heard wrong?You must know that Concubine Wan Gui's younger brother has been congenitally disabled since birth. Although he is over forty years old, he is like a child of eight or nine years old. Zhong Zhiyuan, those scholars can tear down the government office with their bare hands.
