I do research in ancient times

Ning Fei thinks that brother Mu Ye is a bit strange.

As a technical geek who has been sick all year round, he is actually more used to keeping a distance from the people around him.

It's not that Ning Fei is withdrawn by nature, the main thing is that everyone knows that he is not in good health, and no one dares to go to him all the time, for fear that if he doesn't pay attention, he will have a heart attack.

Especially in a wealthy family, he can't hinder anyone even if he is a patient. Properly expressing concern for him can win the favor of the elders, and being too attentive will easily get in the bag.

So in Ning Fei's life, creatures like relatives and friends have always been somewhat estranged.

But in this era, everything seems to be different again.

Needless to say, Mo Zong, Mr. Xie wished he could take care of his daily necessities with his own hands.

Unexpectedly, when he arrived at the Feng family, his brother Mu Ye was also very enthusiastic. Although this enthusiasm was expressed in a more subtle and euphemistic way, currently it was limited to serving tea, pouring water, holding his shoulders and touching his head, but it was beyond the distance he was used to, which made him feel uneasy for a while. Know how to deal with it.

Didn't the ancients all pay attention to the friendship between gentlemen as light as water?Why did he always feel that brother Muye's glass of water was mixed with starch, and it tasted sticky?

But then he thought of Liu Bei in the Three Kingdoms period.Liu Xuande is very loyal and considerate to his brothers, although he also loves to be clingy and cry... But it seems that there is nothing strange about the ancients talking with his brothers all night long and sleeping on their feet.

When he saw Chief Protector Feng at night, the doubts in Ning Juzi's heart were completely gone.

Chief Protector Feng is a rough guy, talking to anyone is like arguing.Although the choice of words and sentences is not elegant, but it is absolutely reassuring, and I am not too lazy to go around in circles, which is very reassuring.

For example, he said that Ning Fei was thin, so he kept picking up vegetables with him when eating, and what he picked up was all greasy meat, which made Xiao Juzi feel warm and helpless.

That's not to mention, when they left, they packed a whole cart full of various supplements, as if they were going to move around as relatives.

"what!"

Feng Dahu scratched his head.

Thanks to Xiao Juzi, he finally didn't have to rub Xiaodi Feng's shampoo anymore.This thing looks inconspicuous, but I can't live without it after using it. I always feel that my head is greasy and not refreshed.

"Kids are welcome. These are also tributes from the people below. Our family is in good health, so we don't need this stuff."

"If you still think that Uncle Feng is okay, bring me some hair-washing water next time. I like the smell of celery the most. Can you make it?"

Ning Fei smiled, he nodded, and promised to escort Feng Dadu into the mansion as soon as the next batch is finished.

It's embarrassing to make Feng Daduhu.

"You don't need to give it away. You made this thing to sell it. You should charge more money. Just bring me a bucket or two on a regular basis."

Ning Fei agreed with a smile, and was escorted back to Wubao by Feng Kai and Xiaodi Feng.

Chatting along the way, I didn't feel that the journey was long, and soon returned to Niubei Mountain.

"Brother will come to visit Feidi after I gather all the pigs Feidi wants."

Under the city gate, Feng Kai cupped his hands towards Ning Fei and his party. The young man in white and black horse was as tall and straight as a pine, and he really deserved to be praised among dragons and phoenixes.

He flew onto the horse, but looked back at where the young Juzi was, and then turned the horse's head, leading his younger brother to hide under the night.

"The Feng family is indeed different."

Old Xie on the side said softly.

Ning Fei turned her head and saw his sob face, she couldn't help raising her eyebrows.

"How did Xie Lao say that?"

Xie Zheng stroked his gray beard, and whispered to Ning Fei as he walked into the city gate.

"When I was your age, my master told me that his sect was still in Yunfu Mountain when he was a child. There are many schools on the mountain. Except for our Mozong, the others only accept children from aristocratic families. The poor and common people are admitted. not coming."

"Master was squeezed out at that time. I have seen powerful and powerful family members with my own eyes. They are all people with eyes on the top of their heads. They feel dirty just by looking at us! Even their servants are not easy. Talking to disciples of Mozong, I feel that they are much more noble than craftsmen from common people."

"When I was still migrating in the Central Plains, it wasn't that there were no aristocratic families to recruit people in. But like the Feng family, they don't sell their lives, and they can eat at the same table and take care of others. It's really rare!"

Hearing what he said, Ning Fei nodded.

He didn't have as many emotions as Xie Zeng.Because he never felt that he was a head shorter than others, not to mention that he had technology in his hands, and he had a mutually beneficial relationship with the Feng family.

Compared with the approachableness of Chief Protector Feng, he values ​​Brother Muye's keeping his promise and not plotting against him behind his back.After all, you can pretend to be approachable, but you can stand the test in the face of interests. This is the best quality of a partner.

"correct."

Ning Fei suddenly thought of something.

"Mr. Xie's grandpa grew up in Yunfu Mountain, so he should have experienced the whole process of the sect's relocation, right?"

Seeing Xie Zeng nodded, Ning Fei suddenly lowered his voice.

"Then, has he ever told you why the sect left? There is one thing I have never understood. There are many work records of seniors in our Mozong's library, and the other groups are still complete. Only this blacksmith The group has been discontinued for several years, why?"

Xie Zeng was taken aback for a moment, his eyes were complicated and wandering, and finally he sighed.

"Don't lie to me, the records of the blacksmith workshop have broken the year, that's because the inheritance was almost broken that year!"

"I also heard from my master that when the Zongmen left Yunfu Mountain, they encountered bandits. The owner of the blacksmith workshop and several disciples were taken away by others. In the blacksmith workshop, there was one furnace and one record, and the rules were set by the patriarch, saying that everyone should learn the furnace method from it. But after the blacksmith workshop was robbed, these things were no longer available. As you can see, the furnace bills accumulated later are all after the rebuilding of the blacksmith workshop."

Hearing what he said, Ning Fei's eyes sharpened instantly.He thought for a while, organized his thoughts in his mind, and then asked.

"Mr. Xie, do you know if only the blacksmith workshop was robbed, or other groups were also robbed, but they didn't succeed?"

"It's only the blacksmith workshop!"

Xie Lao said firmly.

"My master once told me that it was a very hasty decision to open Yunfu Mountain in the Zongmen. That day, Juzi suddenly said that he wanted to leave, and everyone started to move, loading all the books and lists of the Zongmen, but who I don't even know where to go."

"The blacksmith team was the first one to set off. It didn't take long for them to go down the mountain and they couldn't be contacted. The Zongmen waited for them for a long time and there was no news. They had no choice but to go ahead and leave some people to continue searching."

"But when all those who were looking for people returned to the team, there was no one from the blacksmith workshop. There was a clever boy who went around to inquire, and finally heard that the person was robbed by the bandits, and nothing was left behind."

It turned out to be so.

Ning Fei nodded.

In the afternoon, he visited brother Muye's study room. Brother Muye had several very interesting letters, which recorded some important events of this dynasty from the founding of the country to the present.

One of the volumes was about the aristocratic family in the court. Although it was only a few descriptions, it was enough for him to judge the current situation.

For example, the series of changes in the early years of Changle, combined with the situation of the system and Mozong, are quite intriguing.

For example, he has been wondering about the steel frying method and the timeline of hundred steelmaking.

According to the development history of iron smelting in ancient China, these two things coexisted for a long time.Mo Zong was able to make a hundred smelting steels, but the method of frying steel is the secret of Longquan Jianfang, and has not been handed down to the world.

This afternoon, I also saw the records about the Xue family in Brother Mu Ye's study. The Xue family made a fortune in the early years of Yongle, and rose rapidly because of Xue Qiliang's invention of the hundred steelmaking and steel frying methods. At that time, Mo Zong was also kicked out. Is it really a coincidence that I came out of Yunfu Mountain?

Brother Mu Ye seemed to see his doubts, and stretched out his hand to point to him.

Changzhou.

"Chazhou?"

At that time, Feng Kai was sitting side by side with him, Ning Fei looked up with a puzzled expression, and met the man's deep eyes.

Cough cough, the distance is a little bit close.

After silently reading two sentences in his heart, he went to sleep, and Ning Fei decided to ask if he still didn't understand.

"Brother Muye, what do you mean by Changzhou?"

"The Xue family was not in Changzhou before, but in Dingle, which is several hundred miles away from Changzhou. Although Dingle is not big, it has rich land and a pleasant climate. It is the place where the Xue family made its fortune."

"The territory of Changzhou is all branches of Yunfu Mountain. The mountains are high and the roads are dangerous, and the land is barren. Before Xue's family, there was only one place where the tyrants were entrenched, and they couldn't pay all the taxes year after year."

Feng Kai said while handing a cup of tea to the boy.

"Shortly after Xue Qiliang made alchemy, the Xue family occupied Changzhou. The original hometown Dingle was merged into the territory of the Lu family in Nanjun. It is said that the Lu family returned a sum of money, and the Xue family moved away. After that, the Changzhou iron mine was It was discovered that Xue Qiliang once again dreamed of the method of frying steel."

"Brother Fei is so smart, why do you think the Xue family is so good, why don't you leave it in the land of fish and rice, and have to move to a barren land?"

Ning Fei stopped talking.

Why else, naturally because of mines.

But why did Brother Mu Ye tell him these things?If I remember correctly, when he gave him the big gift box before, brother Mu Ye once mentioned that Xue's family was in Ding'an City.

He stared into the man's eyes, trying to see something from inside.However, it is a deep spring with no bottom to be seen. If you don't pay attention, you will be involved in it, and you will not be able to break free.

Now Ning Fei thinks that Brother Mu Ye let him visit the study room definitely for a purpose, such as these bamboo slips with memorabilia in front of him, he took them out to imply some information.

what else?He pointed out Changzhou and the Xue family. The Xue family is the owner of Longquan Jianfang and the inventor of all kinds of steel making and frying in this world.Brother Muye mentioned Changzhou Xue family to him, probably to remind him to pay attention to this family.

No, maybe it's not just a reminder, but also to test the relationship between Mo Zong and the Xue family, or to see if the Mo family has the ability to surpass Longquan Jianfang.

It just so happens that he has it!

The boy suddenly smiled.

"I see, Brother Mu Ye."

"rest assured."

Ning Zazi's eyes are bright.

"I understand what you mean. Brother Muye can wait and see."

After thinking about it, he felt a little explicit and aggressive, so he gave an innocent look, stretched out his thin fingers to lightly hook the man's, and shook it gently.

"Wait for my good news."
