It is about to be upgraded to the Marquis's Mansion. Right now, the entire house of the General's Mansion is full of excitement. The servants are busy, shuttling between the front yard and the back yard, focusing on rectification and renovation of the East Courtyard where Mr. Pei lives and his study.

All the furniture had to be replaced, the courtyard had to be cleaned and dust-free, and at the same time, with many servants and family members, they got up early to work every day, and used three meals a day under the wall of the east courtyard. I felt like a migrant worker for decoration.

However, by decorating the third master's residence, he discovered many mysteries in this world.

There are no magical objects like Geng Leu in the room, and they are replaced by various desk clocks, most of which are made of enamel porcelain, and they are not imported from the West, but made locally with pure Chinese aesthetics.

For example, the half-human tall clock he is cleaning now is made of enamel porcelain inlaid with gold, silver and precious stones. The dial uses the twelve zodiac signs, and a flying dragon is inlaid at twelve o'clock at noon.Whenever the time is announced, the dragon will pop out automatically, spray "water" from its mouth, and go straight into the basket in the hands of the monkey facing below. There are a few flowers on the basket, which will bloom after being watered, and the little monkey will jump out again. Put on a playful appearance of holding a bouquet of blue flowers and presenting a birthday.

They are exquisite, cute, and full of wit. Although they are not very complicated, there are many more complicated ones, and none of them are inferior to those he saw in the Palace of Versailles and the Winter Palace in his previous life.

The third master's study room is even more exciting.

The room is very large, with bookshelves all over the wall.According to Li Mingxiu's instructions, the books of various colors were neatly arranged by category.The bookshelves are also specially engraved with labels such as astronomy and calendar, nautical geography, customs and local chronicles, Japanese history, and Western history.

While tidying up, he couldn't help but glance twice, and soon learned from those books that the dynasty he traveled through was called Dayan.

In addition to the classical collection of classics and history, there are many mathematics books written in Chinese in Pei Sanye's collection. In addition, there are translation works in Japanese, Korean, Mongolian, Thai, etc.; of course, there are also essays and novels written in English, French, and Russian.

When Tong Ze saw Shakespeare’s sonnets, he was really excited for a while. After roughly calculating the time, after the fall of the Ming Dynasty, history probably had an inflection point. Yan, this brand new unified dynasty!

He intends to keep a good book privately to study, but unfortunately those historical ones are too thick, and he doesn't live in a single room alone. If Xie Yanwen finds out, I don't know if that eccentric guy will report him.The regret derived from this made him, for the first time, start thinking about how he could have an independent room to live in because of his thirst for knowledge.

Seeing that Mr. Pei has dabbled in such a wide range, it also indirectly proves that he is definitely a talent of this era.And this point is also confirmed from listening to the chats of the servants during three meals a day.

Speaking of it, Pei Jin, the third master of the Pei family, seems to be a god-like existence.He is only 22 years old this year, but he is a genius that Dayan has never been born.Both civil and military, with illustrious military exploits, not to mention the personal expedition to Malacca, he even went to the Americas at the age of 16 - where it has become a semi-colony of China since the time of Emperor Taizong of Yan. The imperial court seized a large amount of silver from the Americas, making the country stronger than ever.After a series of reforms, the country has embarked on the road of capitalism.The country is no longer a collusion between officials and businessmen, but a combination of military and business. The funds for previous wars are raised in a way similar to national debts, and then the war profits made in the conquest of Malacca and the Americas are used to share dividends with big merchants.

It seems that the rock-solid pattern of scholars, farmers, commerce and industry for thousands of years has been completely broken. Although the status of scholars is still at the top, the status of merchants has jumped to the second place.

And Dayan's vassal states even include North Korea, Annan, Siam, and even today's Malaysia.However, the glorious empire also has headaches at the moment. After all, the American continent is too far away from the mainland, and it has been invaded by Europeans in recent years.

As for the Europeans, Japanese, and Koreans he saw on the street, some came here to do business and settle down, and some came to learn Chinese culture and technology, especially shipbuilding technology.It doesn't matter if you learn by stealing, or you send secret works to understand China, in short, the Europeans have more or less achieved their goals.It's just that in East and West Asia, although they lack control, they are still committed to sowing trouble everywhere.At present, the two biggest enemies around Dayan are the Tsarist Russia from the north and the Dongying island country that has been eyeing after its rise.

When the servants talked about the Japanese nobles and refugees who were stranded in Dayan due to the civil war, there was some sympathy, some contempt, and the topic of the extremely beautiful appearance of the emperor’s second son Prince Uda who came to study and take refuge, many people couldn’t help snickering.

While listening at the same time, I was keenly aware that the south wind seems to prevail in this era, and all aspects are more open than imagined. In addition, the people have a high degree of confidence in their own strength, which is even more impressive!

When everyone gossips, the same ones seldom make a sound, and only focus on listening to capture useful information. Of course, it involves issues related to the national economy and people's livelihood.

It turned out that old general Pei had passed away long ago, and Mrs. Pei's maiden name was Xue, and she was also from a noble family in Kyoto, but she was not the old general's original spouse, but a sequel.

Pei Chuan, the uncle of the Pei family, is from the former partner.

Although the second master Pei Rang was Xue's biological son, he fell seriously ill as soon as he landed. At that time, General Pei was too busy to expand his territory and had no time to take care of him. When he returned, he found that his second son had unfortunately become a disabled person, paralyzed in bed all year round. Can't get up.In order to continue the incense of the second house, Xue had no choice but to find a poor girl from the countryside in the suburbs of Beijing, and married her to become the second grandmother.

The second grandmother's maiden name was Xu, and her ancestors had once produced scholars, but she fell into disrepair, and the family lived on one acre of land.Mrs. Xu was born very well, and she is a well-known beauty in ten miles and eight villages. Xu's father has long wanted to sell her as a cash cow. He happened to catch up with the general's mansion and did not think that his family's lintel is low. Send it in, no matter what the uncle's condition is.

Mrs. Xu also lived up to expectations and gave birth to a son within three years of her marriage.It's the young master whose name is Pei Yi and whose nickname is Brother Xiao. Xue loves Brother Xiao very much, and he probably has the desire to make up for his second son.

As for the famous third master Pei Jin, who was also born in the Xue family, he was talented and intelligent, and because of his noble background, he was sent to the army to practice, and he quickly emerged.This time he succeeded in suppressing the rebellion in Malacca and was awarded the title of marquis. While everyone spoke enviously, their tone was full of admiration.

As long as Pei Jin is mentioned, the servants will talk endlessly, as if the life story of 20 years can be talked about for three days and three nights, and even the appearance can be endlessly boasted.

If there is a male god of all people in this era, Pei Jin is undoubtedly the best candidate.

What the third master Pei looks like is unknown for a while, but he can get a glimpse of it from his half-brother.

This day, everyone was pretty much tidying up, so Pei Quan, the uncle of the Pei family, and Mrs. Xue, Mrs. Pei, came to inspect the layout of the East courtyard.

At the same time, it was the first time I saw the highest female ruler in the house. He and all the servants stood neatly in the courtyard and stood with their hands down. Fortunately, in this era, there is no need to kneel down at every turn. When the servants see the master, they just bend over Just bow and salute.

Mrs. Xue is in her 40s. At a glance, she looks like a person in her thirties. Her eyebrows are gentle and not harsh, but her eyes are radiant and very seductive, but they are clearly not charming, but rather awe-inspiring. Inviolable righteousness.She has a well-maintained figure, and the graceful waist line under the beige is comparable to that of a [-]-year-old girl. Her manner is elegant and energetic, and she doesn't look like a woman who has been widowed for many years.

Pei Quan was born with a dazzling good looks.The servants said that he looked a lot like the old general, and his facial features were completely different from the third master's.At the same time, he took a few glances and felt that this person could no longer be described by good looks. If the facial features were taken alone, of course they were all outstanding, but when combined together, there was a unique beauty. The outline was soft, making people feel gentle and elegant. Aggressive, eyebrows and eyes will be a little curved when smiling.A pair of eyes are extremely affectionate, and there is a little restless escape between Gu Pan.

At the same time, I have an intuition that, as a general who leads the army, Mr. Pei should be more stable than this one.

After the owners inspected, they put forward some rectification plans and went.The servants continued to be busy, and the front plaque was also made, and they just waited for the auspicious day to be sent to hang it up.Since then, the general's mansion has been changed into the Marquis of Cheng'en's mansion, which can be regarded as a regulation.

While working, he still kept gossiping, and it didn't take long for Tong to hear a "secret" about Uncle Pei. At first, the boys were just whispering, and then they asked why a man named Yun Sheng had disappeared.

Someone immediately responded with a dry smile, "Where can I still get up?" He said and stretched out three fingers, "For three nights in a row, is that man a fuel-efficient lamp? It doesn't count if you don't make people unable to get out of bed." It's over! It's all thanks to my wife, if I hold him so tightly, I don't want to lose face for this wife. I heard that the eldest grandma cried all morning in the room, and said that if this continues, her body will be hollowed out. What will happen in the future? And have children..."

"I can't complain that I saw my uncle today. I dare to be called by my wife. This time I have to pretend to be good for at least half a month."

"What about after half a month?" The speaker laughed, "I'm afraid it will be more violent, you didn't see his eyes just now, but you are groping them vigorously! This is just to find some fresh relief. .”

The big guy was carrying a large red sandalwood book table together, when the talking boy suddenly turned his eyes to Tong Ze, smiled, and whispered something to his companion.

Those people passed by during lunch, and the same listened with his ears sideways. He saw that those people looked at him first, and one of them pointed and said, "This newcomer, it's likely to catch the uncle's eyes."

The person next to him immediately looked sideways, "Him? It's still not ready. The uncle always likes to be charming. Although this kid is born well, he doesn't have that kind of smell. The one who came in with him, named Xie, is worse than him." It's a three-pointer."

Hearing that he may not be in the eyes of others, but at the same time secretly happy, he thought that Pei Quan's peach blossom eyes were not for nothing, and couldn't help but feel a little worried for Xie Yanwen.Although the man looked weak, his temper was stubborn. If he really wanted to commit himself to others, he was afraid that he would have to wipe his neck with a knife when he came back.

And Xie Yanwen still didn't like to talk, on weekdays when others asked three questions, he would at most ignore the last one, with a clear face and no dust in his eyes, which made others feel uncomfortable looking at him.Of course, Xie Yanwen didn't care about this, he was still the same every day, and he didn't look at the same thing when he returned to the room, and when he had to speak, he would just say hey, and he didn't even say his name.

When I went back to my room at night, I was thinking about what I heard during the day, and then I looked at Xie Yanwen's soft and fragile body. I didn't know how to come up with enthusiasm, and reminded, "If you meet the uncle in the future, don't take the initiative to bump into it, and lower your head. Better not let him see your face."

Unexpectedly, it was just a word, Xie Yanwen seemed to have been ignited, sat up suddenly, stared at him for a long time, his handsome face was flushed red, as if he was about to bleed.

At the same time, he took a look at the fighting cock, and was very happy at the time, "I just want to say something, believe it or not, listen to it or not."

Xie Yanwen seemed to have been greatly humiliated, he gritted his molars, and snorted coldly, "Cheng Ri pays attention to these gossips, with this time, why don't you and Young Master go to Fangzi Hutong to see your sister, Qinya Shuyu is a good place Be careful not to run into that Uncle Pei, who doesn't care about meat and vegetables in the future!"

Dear sister! ?Qinya Book Apartment?At the same time, his throat moved up and down, and he leaned back on the chair, vaguely feeling that something was wrong.
