[Red Mansion] Master is always taken away

Whenever Jia She wanted to carve a puppet, he would go to the Zhang family to brush up his presence. The Zhang family didn’t like him very much. Although the son-in-law meant to repent and return the prodigal son, they had been at odds for many years. In fact, to put it bluntly, the two families are not the same at all, and the marriage between the girl and Jia She was only because of the evil Jia Daishan asking the emperor to marry him.

Jia Daishan was very sympathetic in front of the emperor, otherwise, although the Zhang family had an in-law relationship with the Jia family, they would seldom see each other during the Chinese New Year...

Jia Amnesty didn't say anything by himself, Jia Lian continued to communicate with the Zhang family, and the people of the Zhang family finally understood that Jia Amnesty had really changed. Not only did he increase his knowledge, but he also became "stable".

Only Zhang Cang said sarcastically, "I didn't see that my brother-in-law is still a deep-minded person." This remark made the old man Zhang twirl his beard, and sighed "It's not easy".At this point, the relationship between Jia Amnesty, Jia Lian and his father and son and the Zhang family finally returned to normal. Jia Lian even tried his best to get close to the Zhang family's uncle and cousins ​​under the guidance of the wise and martial master.

Every time Jia Lian returned home, he told his daughter-in-law that this job was not very pleasant.

Wang Xifeng rolled his eyes at him: "My decent mother-in-law's family is so noble, it is said that there have been many scholars in the past three generations... It is said that your eldest uncle was once the number one scholar."

Jia Lian was suspicious and surprised.

Because what his daughter-in-law said was abnormal today.

In the past, his daughter-in-law either looked down on one or the other. According to him, their Jia family was a shabby household compared to the Wang family, a bottomless pit filled with money to fill her dowry...

……

"Feng'er, you—" Jia Lian was about to raise his hand to touch her forehead.

Wang Xifeng spat at him, turned her head to talk to Ping'er, but she despised him in her heart, couldn't she send someone to inquire about it.What's more, since the old man became "mighty", the life of their eldest family has been much better. Well, it can't be said that the eldest family should be worthy of the name of the Rongguo Mansion.

Only then did Wang Xifeng experience the majesty of the daughter-in-law of the Duke's Mansion.Now it's the future of her husband, she can't still be an errand runner, the master is paving the way for the second master, so naturally the master is close to whichever house, and their juniors will also follow.

Wang Xifeng has always treated Jia's mother with this policy, thinking that Jia She, the father-in-law, should do the same. No matter what the father-in-law does, she and Lian Er will follow closely.

Speaking of the "rumbling" that the old man made recently, Wang Xifeng was frightened at first, but he took care of the family affairs, and together with the big housekeeper, he strictly controlled the servants who wanted to inquire about news or take advantage of the opportunity to make trouble.

Fortunately, the Grand Master's rumble only sounded for a few days, and it was only heard on the surrounding streets.

Even if the nearby Ningguo Mansion sent someone to ask, Wang Xifeng only said that the Elder Master might be concocting alchemy. She was not lying at all. Some saltpeter or something, occasionally when there is no rumbling, the remote yard where the old man used to "work" is also billowing with black smoke, but fortunately, it is only for a while.

Wang Xifeng felt in her heart that the old man made the whole family restless, but the old lady at home didn't care about things, and the second master behaved with his tail between his legs. Now the second master is in the temper of what the master said, so she didn't want to ask too much, and even asked To cover up a thing or two for this.

Jia Amnesty was in a daze when he did the experiment. He was full of confidence at first, thinking that this kind of experiment would be a piece of cake for him, a romantic old man who knew all kinds of chemical knowledge. The experiment must be done once and for all. It can be successful, but after doing it, I found that there are so many talents and utensils in the Great Xia Dynasty. Even if there are, it is not pure enough, and the utensils have to be made by someone.

Jia Amnesty also found the asphalt-making assistant whom he had recruited before. After asking about his background, he found that this person had been a monk and a Taoist priest before, and was a high-level professional in alchemy. Out.

Although the formula is known, it is only a matter of purification. Fortunately, most of it is done, but it is just stuck in a process. Fortunately, many alchemy Taoist priests were invited to help, and many things in Jia She's mind are not right now. Yes, he found everything except the name.

It has always been a small dose of gunpowder experiment, Jia She thinks it is almost done, and considering making a big noise, it is time for the palace to send someone to talk about it, he thought of going to the suburbs.

Jia Lian never knew what the old man was doing, because the people he hired were alchemists. At this time, gunpowder was not commonly used in the army. Even Da Xia Dynasty thought it was useless. The first time the smoke and noise could scare the enemy, the next time But no one can fall for it.

Because this gunpowder is the same as fireworks, it just listens to the sound and can produce a lot of smoke. On the battlefield, he can use the alchemy furnace as an alchemy furnace, and it can't hurt the enemy's foundation at all.

Until, one day, Jia She, with a smile on his face, took the servant who could make asphalt, called him with a smile, and invited the second master to Zhuangzi in the suburbs, saying that they had achieved results.

... When Jia Lian saw a well-built three-room house, there was a bang—it collapsed, and Jia Lian was stunned.

The second master, Jia Zheng, looked panic-stricken, stepped back more than ten steps, and even felt that his ears were deaf for a moment.

Jia Lian was young and strong enough to bear it, but his ears kept buzzing, and after a long time he regained his composure, he and the second master both looked at the elder.

Jia Amnesty smiled in satisfaction, and even narrowed his eyes in a very happy mood. He was used to pointing out the servant assistant who was in charge of No.80's eight experiment records, and sighed: "It's not bad, it's more powerful than last time, but it's still Not perfect."

Feeling quite a pity, Jia She shook his head, stared at the collapsed house again, and said: "Limited by the experimental conditions, this is the case now, otherwise, sir, I would like to try a three-story building... But this is enough, If you want to blow up the city wall, just put a few times more explosives."

"..."

Jia Lian swallowed her saliva, and asked in a desperate struggle, "Master, don't you practice alchemy? This is—"

It must not be what he imagined, such as "city walls" and "explosive packs"... Hehe, he must be dreaming.

Hearing the stupid son's words, Jia She gave Jia Lian a contemptuous look, snorted coldly, and said, "This thing is very useful. It can be used to attack cities, open mountains and build roads. With it, Yu Gong is not afraid of moving mountains!"

"Hehe...hehe..." Jia Lian laughed dryly, and his whole body was dripping with cold sweat.

Jia Zheng listened to Jia Lian's words, but ran up the same train of thought with this nephew. They thought of one place, so Jia Zheng's face was bleak, and he looked around. There were quite a few people, but there were always some servants who came over to look at them.

He stomped his feet bitterly and said, "Brother, what are you doing?! The court's law..."

"The imperial court didn't say that you can't make gunpowder." Jia Amnesty just thought of this, as if suddenly reflecting the meaning of this "invention", his face became gloomy in an instant.

He also thought of what Jia Zheng was worried about.

Hearing this, Jia Zheng was stunned for a moment, and after thinking for a while, the imperial court did not say that gunpowder could not be studied privately, but said that there were dozens of workshops in the capital, large and small, all kinds of firecrackers. When it comes to weddings, funerals and New Year's Day, who doesn't buy some fireworks, because most of the skills are kept secret from the ancestors, and generally speaking, the business is quite good.

... But instinctively, Jia Zheng felt that something was wrong. Could they really get their hands on such a "dangerous" thing? !

Gazing at the distressed courtyard, Jia She's eyes were deep. He suddenly felt that he had miscalculated. It was really a miscalculation to use such a large dose of gunpowder for the experiment.

Before, he was just doing pure research, and he was indulging in it every day, and he felt quite happy.But now his brain is running at high speed, thinking of his future "goals" and "great achievements", Jia Amnesty's head twitches a little.

This kind of killer weapon should be tested in the deep mountains and old forests. It is so powerful that it is just alchemy in Beijing. Although it is a suburb of Beijing, it cannot be ignored. I am afraid that Emperor Xianning's claws will be too long. I am afraid that the secret of gunpowder will no longer exist.

If other people find out that he has such a "sharp weapon", if he does not hand it over to Emperor Xianning in time, he may cause trouble to his upper body.

Jia Amnesty struggled in his heart, and his expression gradually became ferocious, at least in Jia Zheng's eyes.

"Big brother..." For some reason, Jia Zheng stumbled under the gaze of his elder brother, and he didn't know what to say. He just instinctively felt that Jia Amnesty was very dangerous at this time.

"Master... you, what are you doing researching this...?" Jia Lian said the last three words stuck in his throat, and it even flashed through his mind at this moment, the master is still a little more playful every day Well, save yourself the fright.

Jia She's knuckles slammed twice, the edge of the nail of the index finger of his right hand scraped the skin on the thumb fiercely, creating a series of wounds, and some blood was stained between the nails, but fortunately he endured it and did not use any force. It was not discovered by Jia Zheng and his son Jia Lian.

With a glint in his eyes, Jia She changed his expression and smiled faintly. "Mine!"

Jia Zheng and Jia Lian were startled.

Especially Jia Zhengna breathed a sigh of relief, but he still frowned, and said: "It's good to use this thing for mining, but this thunderbolt... Bao, it's really hurting the peace, I'm afraid it's a murderer." Not auspicious. What's more, our family is already rich, the eldest brother is the Duke of Rong, and the family has fertile land, why bother to compete with the people for profit."

Jia Lian didn't like it. Everyone knows that mining is a way to make money, but the mines are all dug by miners with shovels. It is not that no one has tried this gunpowder before, but its power to hurt people is limited, let alone Exploding rocks and exploding mountains.

It's different now, with the so-called dynamite package from the master, which deep-buried mine cannot be opened, preferably gold mine..., as for iron ore and copper mine, well, they are barely secondary Consider it.

For Jia Lian, although opening a mine requires approval from the court, they are the Duke's Mansion after all, and even merchants can participate in the Great Xia Dynasty's mining. It must be no problem for their Rongguo Mansion to make a fortune from one mine to another.

Jia Zheng always felt that something was wrong, but when he thought about it deeply, he didn't even dare to think about outrageous things, because he was worried that the royal family would be suspicious of his family.

After thinking about it, he still whispered a few words to Jia She, Jia She nodded cautiously, even sighed, called him "good brother", and asked the big housekeeper to seal off the people in the village, only going in and out, buying Other people in Rongfu are responsible for things.

When Jia Zheng heard this, even for an insensitive person like him, his heart trembled.

Jia Amnesty turned his cheeks, stared at him, suddenly smiled and said, "Second Brother, is it cold?"

Only then did Jia Zheng realize that he was shivering all over, and he shook his head unnaturally.

Sighing, Jia Amnesty confided in him and Jia Lian, "I've also thought of what you are afraid of. This explosive bag can not only dig mountains and mines, but it is also a sharp weapon for attacking cities. I'm not afraid of you thinking too much. But Yes, I think we have to dedicate it at a critical moment...wouldn't it be better..."

He looked at Jia Zheng and Jia Lian.

It was only then that Jia Zheng was completely relieved. As expected, his elder brother couldn't let go of fame, wealth, promotion and fortune, Jia Zheng thought wildly in his mind.

Jia Amnesty looked forward again and said: "Second brother, Lian'er, think about it, our family is already a duke of the state, this great contribution...it's not so easy to get...I'm afraid—" pointing his finger God, Jia Amnesty continued: "I'm afraid that person might be suspicious of our family, who knows this recipe...huh..."

Jia Zheng was tongue-tied, he was just waiting for the time to come, Jia She offered this, the title of the duke could not be raised, but... the Jia family is not the only duke Jia She...Jia Zheng just I thought of the two Marquis brothers of the historian...

Seeing Jia Zheng's expression, Jia Amnesty raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and quickly restrained himself.

Looking at the people and the "ruins" around him, he also felt that he had acted carelessly before, and he hadn't considered the threat of gunpowder. If the master, he would never want to present the method of making the explosive package in front of him to the emperor and the court in his life. , how can this be done.

As for what he said just now, it was just to comfort his good second brother and stupid son. Believe it or not, it doesn't matter. They are all surnamed Jia. Forgive Jia Zheng for not daring to report this matter. A man who knows the severity.As for the housekeeper and servants, Jia She thought about the remaining medicine in the porcelain bottle in the study, and felt that they had owners.

Regardless of these things, what troubles Jia Shen the most now is why his thoughts are always changing? !
