Crossing town house man and wife

After being disturbed by Yan Heng's mother, Wu Ming forgot about Gao Yang's matter, and only found that he had a purse full of copper coins when he took off his clothes at night.

After thinking about it, Wu Ming felt that that guy was nothing important, so he immediately put the matter behind him.

It just so happened that Yan Heng didn't come to harass him that night—it wasn't that he didn't want to, but that Wu Ming insisted on making him abide by the one-month deadline—and it was rare for Wu Ming to fall asleep early.

But after breakfast the next day, Jin Jiao brought the tortoise shell to Wu Ming and asked for an aunt in the yard.

"I just killed one, but now you want me to find another one?" Wu Ming looked suspiciously at Jin Jiao, "What on earth are you thinking?"

"Back to Madam, I have thought about it carefully. The reason why some people have been breaking into the yard unscrupulously in the past few days is that the maids are too young to control the scene. Even if there are strong women in the yard, they don't want to listen to us. Naturally, I can't stop these people with ulterior motives." Jin Jiao explained solemnly, "So the maid and the tortoise have discussed it, why don't you invite an aunt who can calm down the scene to come over and teach the maids by the way. The rules in the Sheriff's Mansion——you are a madam, so naturally you don't need to pay attention to those rules, but the servants are servants, so it's better to follow the rules."

Jin Jiao's rationality surprised Wu Ming, touched his chin, and then noticed that the tortoise shell hesitated to speak.

"What do you want to say?" Wu Ming asked.

"Back to Madam, Jin Jiao asked the servant to recommend an aunt, and the servant thinks that Aunt Lao, who has taught the maid before, is very suitable." Tortoise replied, "Aunt Lao has always been in charge of training people, and all the maids must first You have to study with her for three months before you can be on duty everywhere."

"Sounds like a very important position." Wu Ming frowned, "If I ask her to come, it won't affect the Sheriff's Mansion...that..."

Wu Ming wanted to say that it was operating normally, but before he could say it, he felt that this word seemed a little too fashionable, and they might not be able to understand it.

Wu Ming was still here and there, and Tortoise had already understood what he meant, and immediately said: "Aunt Lao is getting old, and she would have to retire for the next two years to recuperate, and the person who will take over has already been prepared."

Why does this sound like something tricky?

Wu Ming narrowed his eyes, and simply asked, "Tell me, what does this auntie have to do with you?"

"Go back to madam, it's nothing to do with it." Tortoise shell giggled, "It's just that the maid has been taught by Aunt Lao, and thinks she is very kind and transparent, just the person madam needs."

"that's it?"

"Although Aunt Lao is over fifty, she is in good health and is not at all old enough to support her."

"go on."

"... Aunt Lao has stayed in the county guard's mansion for most of her life. She has no children and is not close to her family. If she just leaves like this, she may not even have a place to stay after she goes out." Tortoiseshell lowered her head and said more and more The sound is quieter.

This makes sense!

As long as this auntie is really as transparent as the tortoise shell said, Wu Ming wouldn't mind raising another idler, but after thinking about it, he asked again: "This auntie said hello to you and said she wanted to come into my yard?"

"Ah?" Tortoise was taken aback, then quickly shook her head, "No, Aunt Lao didn't know about it, it was me..."

"Then go and talk to her and ask her opinion." Wu Ming interrupted, "Don't worry about shaving your head, she already has a better place to go, and she doesn't want to come here at all."

"It's the servant girl who was negligent, so let me ask you now." Tortoiseshell nodded quickly.

That morning, Huobi went to look for that auntie.

Just as Wu Ming guessed, that auntie did not readily accept the invitation from Tortoiseshell.As an old man of the Sheriff's Mansion, Aunt Lao is very well informed and sees things clearly enough, so she doesn't think that Wu Ming's yard is a safe haven from Mrs. Tai's cleaning. It is more appropriate to say that it is a storm.

But Aunt Lao didn't refuse on the spot, she just said that it would take two days to think about it, and asked tortoise to persuade Wu Ming to give her some time.

Wu Ming's attitude towards her arrival was completely irrelevant, and after knowing this, he just waved his hand and let the tortoise shell take full responsibility.

In contrast, Wu Ming cares more about how Yan Heng handles his murder of Mrs. Tai's confidant.

But after waiting for two days, Wu Ming realized that this matter had been suppressed by Yan Heng again, so he quietly went out for a few laps, but he didn't hear anyone talking about it in private.

This made Wu Ming feel a little embarrassed, so after thinking about it, he simply made a model of a keel waterwheel, as a reward for Yan Heng's hard work.

When Yan Heng first saw the keel waterwheel, he didn't understand what it was at all, so Wu Ming had no choice but to ask someone to bring a copper basin for water, put one end of the waterwheel into it, and made a live demonstration for Yan Heng.

Immediately, Yan Heng's eyes lit up, and he brought over the waterwheel model, flipping through it fondly.

Xiangping is rich in water and many rivers, but the whole Liaodong is not full of abundance.If waterwheels can be popularized, a lot of land that needs to be carried by people on their shoulders can be irrigated more directly, saving manpower to reclaim more land and plant more crops.

"Aside from irrigation, do waterwheels have other uses?" Yan Heng asked expectantly.

Wu Ming blinked, "It is said that it can also be used to smelt iron, weave cloth... and so on."

But it seems that it is not a keel waterwheel.

Wu Ming really didn't know much about the practical application, so he could only helplessly spread his hands, "I only know that waterwheels can be used for irrigation and water collection, and to provide water power—the water of the river, the power of power—but the so-called I don’t know what the hydraulic power is.”

In fact, I know, but I definitely don't want to explain it to you, explaining this thing clearly will be exhausting!

Wu Ming habitually thought complicated things, thinking that what Yan Heng wanted to know was the mechanical principles in physics, and he realized that the power of water could be explained as the simple and easy-to-understand common sense of the driving force generated by water flow after he had finished speaking.

But after thinking about it again, Wu Ming felt that it was better to "don't understand". By the way, he could also round up the previous lie, and immediately said: "I told you before, I just 'know'."

"What else do you know?" Yan Heng couldn't hide his curiosity.

"Maybe there are many more." Wu Ming shrugged, "But I'm not sure when I will remember."

"It's okay, tell me when you think about it." Yan Heng grabbed Wu Ming's hands, and then felt that these words would make people ambiguous, and hurriedly added, "It's okay if you don't want to tell me, really."

Wu Ming raised the corner of his mouth, "Is it really okay?"

"Of course it's true." Yan Heng waved his hand to let the maid take the copper basin away, and waited until there was no one around, then he took Wu Ming into his arms and put his head on his forehead, "You know, I only want you Just by my side."

Wu Ming didn't think so, but he still pretended to be concerned and asked: "Really?"

"It's absolutely true." Yan Heng looked serious.

"Then if one day my ambitions conflict with yours, how should you choose?" Wu Ming raised his eyebrows and asked.

"I won't let that happen." Yan Heng replied affirmatively, "Believe me, I'm not that incompetent."

Wu Ming smiled, and didn't take Yan Heng's promise to heart, nor did he insist on asking for an answer.

For some things, it is good to be clear in your heart, there is no need to speak out.

If you use the words of later generations, it is: if you are serious, you will lose.

A few days later, Aunt Lao entrusted Tortoise with a message, saying that she would like to be on duty in Wu Ming's courtyard.

Wu Ming immediately greeted Yan Heng and asked him to transfer Aunt Lao to his courtyard.

Yan Heng longed for a reliable person to take charge of Wu Mingyuan, so he was naturally happy to see the success of this matter. After asking Wu Ming for some advantages, he readily agreed.

But before Aunt Lao took office officially, Yan Heng sent a notice to Wu Ming: He was going on a long trip, and Wu Ming had to go with him.

After Wu Ming asked, he learned that Yan Heng had sent someone to the beach to try drying the sea salt. In the afternoon, the person he sent sent a pigeon to send a letter back, telling Yan Heng that the sea salt had been dried.

"I have to go and have a look in person, and arrange things over there by the way." Yan Heng explained.

"By the way, when it comes to Yantian, the waterwheel I gave you two days ago is useful." Wu Ming clapped his hands suddenly, "It happens to be able to use that thing to bring seawater into Yantian... Uh, wait, it doesn't seem to be so troublesome... …as long as the tide rises…”

Wu Ming frowned uncertainly.He has only sold private salt with people, but he has never done salt drying. He still has a vague impression of it when he saw pictures of salt fields when he surfed the Internet.

"Go and have a look and talk about it, maybe I will remember it when the time comes." Yan Heng only thought that Wu Ming couldn't remember it, but he didn't know that he only knew one thing and didn't know the other.

"What if you can't remember it all the time?" Wu Ming asked depressedly.

"Then let them figure it out on their own." Yan Heng replied nonchalantly, "The most critical tricks are already there. If they still have nothing to achieve and can only wait for your advice, then I don't need to go over it again." Waste of money feeding them."

"Who are they?" Wu Ming asked curiously.

"Naturally, he is my disciple." Yan Heng said, "You don't think I have only Luo Daozi as my disciple, do you?"

"Actually, I never thought about it at all." Wu Ming scratched his head.

Yan Heng laughed, "You don't think about eating every day, do you?"

"Why not?" Wu Ming said calmly, "There are only two things that a person must do in this life. One is to eat and drink, and the other is to sleep. Whether you do or not to do the rest is not a matter of life or death."

"But how is such a life different from that of a beast?" Yan Heng shook his head disapprovingly.

People are transformed from animals, Wu Ming thought to himself, although no definite evidence has been found.

After being notified by Yan Heng, Wu Ming started to prepare for the trip.

Yan Heng asked him to bring some men to wait on the road, but considering that the place he was going to still belonged to the military area, Wu Ming decided to bring only the tortoise shell and let her continue to disguise herself as a man.

Yin Jiao was very upset about this, but Wu Ming shut her up with a word.

"If you can flatten these two lumps of flesh on your chest, I'll take you along with me."

Yinjiao is not very old, but the development of certain parts is very urgent. Using the adjectives of later generations, it is already close to the level of childlike big breasts.Jin Jiao may be able to smooth out the marks by wrapping them with a cloth, but she has to cut them with a knife to make it possible.

Wu Ming had told them before that the place he was going to was a military camp. It was very inconvenient for women—especially young girls like them. They had to disguise themselves as men to go together. Jiao blushed and didn't dare to say more.

Jinjiaoyinjiao was busy packing Wu Ming's luggage, while Huobi took Aunt Lao into the yard.

Wu Ming was making room for two maids who were packing things in the yard, so he met Aunt Lao directly in the yard.

Taking a few casual glances, Wu Ming found that this auntie was a rather old woman. At first glance, there was nothing eye-catching. Although her movements during the salute were impeccable, they were not like Zhuji. It is as accurate as measured by a ruler.

Wu Ming blinked, then looked at Aunt Lao a few more times, and suddenly understood why he hated Zhuji.

She is too regular.

It stands to reason that it is impossible for a person to step over the same stream twice, but every time she speaks, takes a step, and bows to salute, there is no slight difference from the previous one, just like a robot controlled by standard programs in later generations Same.

Generally speaking, only those who have been trained in the court can be so inhuman.

Like that Le's.

But tortoise had said that Zhuji, like her, was the son of the Yan family.

Wu Ming was suspicious, but immediately felt that there was no point in wasting energy on such trivial matters, so he immediately withdrew his thoughts and arranged a job for Aunt Lao, who had just arrived, as a trial.

"I want to go out, but my maid has no experience in this area, you go and help them and give advice."

"No." Aunt Lao accepted the order gladly.
