Her father pursed his lips and smiled beside him: "Isn't this an anti-aircraft cannon to kill mosquitoes?"
Her mother rolled her eyes at her father: "Don't worry, Xiaoxing is scared."
Oh, in her previous life, her surname was also Jiang, but of course not Jiang Liniang.
Her name is Jiang Xing.
Later, when Jiang Xing entered junior high school and time travel became popular, she bought two books and took them home. Her mother looked at the gaudy covers and asked her, "What book is it?"
Jiang Xing said: "The book about time travel, oh, mom, you don't understand!"
Her mother snorted: "If I don't understand, then who else does? Do you know what your mother earns a living at school?"
I coded her a popular science article on physics that she could understand overnight.
Although Jiang Xing also participated in the physics competition, her exposure was not so deep. While drinking milk, she asked her mother: "Can you really travel through time?"
Her mother said: "Theoretically it is possible."
Seeing her thoughtful look, she smiled mischievously and said, "Maybe you'll wear it tomorrow?"
Jiang Xing: "...No way."
Jiang Xing: "Then I have to make some preparations!"
Her mother held back her laughter, looked at her daughter who looked like a little silly goose, and said, "What preparations are you making?"
Jiang Xing: "I have to prepare things that didn't exist in ancient times. The heroine was making glass soap when she passed by -"
Her father interjected: "What if you travel to the interstellar space? Today's technology is to the interstellar age what the ancient age is to us?"
Jiang Xing scratched his head and said thoughtfully: "Oh, I don't have to worry about so much now. Let's finish what we can do first. Mom, do you have any recommended books?"
Her mother was made to laugh by her, but then she actually collected a lot of books for her, such as "Tiangong Kaiwu", "Essential Techniques for Elevating the People", "Treatise on Febrile and Miscellaneous Diseases", and "Survival in the Wilderness" "1,000 Tips" and so on. After I bought it home, there was a whole row on the bookshelf.
He also asked her: "If you dress like a little boy, do you still need to learn the art of war? Your grandfather has a special agricultural book at home. Go read it yourself when you have time."
Jiang Xing nodded very seriously: "Yes!"
For the books I read, because it was so long ago, I didn’t just memorize 100% of them, but at least 80% or 90%, which is enough.
Sitting in the study drinking sour plum soup, Jiang Liniang herself felt that this was bullying.
Give me enough materials and manpower, and I can build a steam engine for you!
But this thing seems a bit too advanced, so you can’t just do it casually, right?
Hey, why are you thinking so much? Let’s try something simple and non-taboo first.
The sister-in-law Han who sent the brothers and sisters back in a carriage earlier had an extremely prominent background. Her father was the governor of Liaodong, and she also had an older brother who was on errands in the Shaofu. Jiang Liniang was thinking about whether to make cement?
Sister-in-law Han was so kind to them, so she wanted to reciprocate the favor!
Following the lessons learned from Rich Master Liu, Jiang Liniang was also very cautious about such new things. She did not rush to contact her senior brother Sun Sanqiao and her sister-in-law Mrs. Han, but quietly asked Shi Jun: "Teacher, I have someone like Doufu." I have an interesting recipe like my brain, but it can only be used in construction. Can I join forces with Sister-in-law Han to make some money?"
If it works, just keep going in this direction. If it doesn't, stop after making a fortune!
Shi Yun said: "What are the tips that can be used in construction? Do you want to take the path of Shaofu?"
Otherwise, everyone likes to talk to smart people!
Jiang Liniang said: "Yes, that's what I mean!"
Shi Yun said clearly: "Do you want to repay the Han family?"
Jiang Liniang told Shi Yun that her senior brothers' families had sent people to visit Xibao Village: "How can you not repay them?"
Shi Jun shook his head and said: "They went there as a favor, not as a favor. There is no need to be eager to repay."
Then he asked: "What can you do with this method?"
Jiang Liniang said: "It can also be used to build roads, build walls and houses, and it can be used for construction matters!"
"Then don't cooperate with the Han family."
Shi Jun said: "The West Garden has always been vacant, and few people go there. I will find a few people for you to send. You can bring them out first and let me take a look. If it is really necessary..."
Jiang Liniang: "Contact Sister-in-law Han again?"
Shi Yun smiled helplessly: "Why do you only remember one Sister-in-law Han?"
Jiang Liniang said as she should: "Because Sister-in-law Han is good to us. She takes good care of us in terms of food, clothing, and play. If I don't remember her, who should I remember?"
Shi Jun smiled and shook his head, and reminded her sternly: "It will be Emperor Gaozu's birthday soon. If what you have created is indeed useful, I will make some connections and pass it to Taichang Mansion and call them Cooperate with the young master to repair the high temple. If so, are you still afraid that this thing will have no use?"
"You probably also know that your brother is not good at studying, but he is really good at managing common affairs. If you are willing to give it to him, wouldn't you give him the credit and seek an official position in the Shaofu? Is it better for him to continue wasting his years on books? In this way, it not only gives your brother a background, but also promotes the lintel of your family. Isn't it killing two birds with one stone!"
Jiang Liniang suddenly became enlightened after hearing this, and asked with fascination, "Can this still happen?"
Shi Yun said: "Why not?"
Jiang Liniang was in high spirits and full of energy: "Please order someone for me and I'll get there right away!"
Shi Jun responded and said meaningfully: "Giving your brother a background as a young official has another advantage. If you have any strange ideas in the future, there will be someone outside to take care of you. no?"
Jiang Liniang pretended to be stupid: "I don't use my teacher's garden in vain. When I make money, I will pay the rent on a monthly basis. I am your disciple, so you have to give me a cheaper price~"
Shi Yun snorted twice from his nose as an answer.
…
Before Jiang Liniang's cement was finished, it was time to meet Mrs. Han for a visit.
On this day, she and Yuanniang got up very early. After dressing up, they went to Mrs. He to have a look at her: "Let me see if there is anything irregular?"
Mrs. He didn't say, "They are all members of the family, so don't be too restrained." Instead, she looked at the two young ladies from head to toe, really wanting to test whether there was anything inappropriate about them.
Whether Yuan Niang or Liniang, they will inevitably have social interactions in the future. Since it is unavoidable, it is necessary to draw clear boundaries and explain the rules to them at the very beginning. Otherwise, it will not be love, but pampering. .
But after seeing it through Mrs. He's eyes, she didn't find any faults, and the feeling of relief in her heart took over: "It's very good."
He also personally took two pairs of earrings from the dowry and put them on the two sisters: "Although it is the period of national filial piety, it is not a simple matter."
The two sisters got to know each other well and were not polite to her. They bowed and thanked Mrs. He together, and then they went to the front yard together to find their brother Jiang Ning and set off for Sun's house.
The carriage belongs to Shiyun's house. Today, only three brothers and sisters from the Jiang family came to visit. Jiang Ning said on the way: "I have to find time to learn to ride a horse. It's not good to ride in a carriage with you two all the time." What's going on..."
Then he said: "You two had better learn it too. Let's talk about whether it can be used. There is always no harm in learning more things."
Jiang Liniang can ride a horse, and she took classes in her previous life. However, the horses in the club in her previous life were all trained in advance, so they may be different from the horses in this life.
At this time, she heard what her brother said, and she agreed: "What he said is, knowing it is better than not knowing it. If you want to learn it, let's learn it together!"
After a slight pause, he added: "Just don't mention it in front of the teacher and my wife. In a few days, we will have enough money and can afford the equestrian master's training, and then we can go there." It’s not too late to mention it.”
Jiang Ning and Yuan Niang nodded together: "That's exactly what it should be."
While he was talking, the carriage had already arrived at the Sun family's house.
Sun Sanqiao was able to marry the daughter of the Liaodong Governor, so his background was naturally quite extraordinary. The Sun family was a master of Confucian classics in this dynasty. Sun Sanqiao's father was an official in General Fubo, and his eldest brother was a member of this dynasty. The young minister of Honglu Temple had an older brother, but he died at a young age.
Today is Xiu Mu, and the Sun family are all at home. The three Jiang family brothers and sisters went to the main house to meet Sun Sanqiao's parents. At that time, Sun Sanqiao and his wife were already waiting here, and they were introduced by calling their elders. know.
Mrs. Sun was very kind and asked Sun Sanqiao to lead Jiang Ning to the front yard to meet the Sun family's nephews. She left the Jiang family's two young ladies to talk, and finally said with emotion: "Shi Gong's The vision is still the same as before."
She is getting older and looks tired when she talks a lot.
When Yuan Niang and Jiang Liniang saw this, they stood up and left.
Mrs. Sun smiled kindly: "Good girl, you are so neat. Come and eat fruit with your sister-in-law. Don't be restrained. Just treat it as your own home."
The two sisters responded, bowed again, and then followed Mrs. Han to the courtyard where the couple lived.
The Sun family and the Shi family have two different styles.
The Shi family is simple, while the Sun family is upright.
When the two sisters were talking to Mrs. Sun, there were so many maids and women inside and outside the house, but they didn't hear a single strange sound. After leaving the main room again, they saw that the Sun family's servants were all cautious in their words and deeds. It can be seen that Sun My wife manages the family well.
Regarding the word "ritual", the two sisters had only heard Mrs. He mention it in the past, and only knew its sound but not its shape. Today, after seeing the situation of the Sun family, they finally understood.
Mrs. Han not only invited the two sisters, but also her niece and married sister, plus the Sun family's sister-in-law and a few girls, it was really lively.
Jiang Liniang was afraid that her words would arouse taboos, so she took advantage of the convenience of changing clothes and quietly asked the maid Huzhou who was traveling with her: "Are the four girls in the eldest house all the daughters of Mrs. Sun?"
Huzhou was smart and told her quietly: "The eldest girl and the second girl are Mrs. Sun's biological daughters, and the third girl and the fourth girl are the children of my aunt."
Shi Jun had no concubines, and his children were all married and not living in the house, so Mrs. He did not mention these things to the two girls. Huzhou deliberately reminded her: "It's just that the girls all belong to Mrs. Sun." The lady can treat everyone equally."
Jiang Liniang nodded lightly and asked in a low voice: "What about Senior Brother Sun's house..."
When Huzhou saw that the place was quiet and there was no one around, he whispered: "How else can I say that Mrs. Han is so powerful? Third Master Sun has no concubines, and all his children are the sons of Mrs. Han."
She said with envy: "This is the style and dignity that a principal wife should have!"
Hearing the meaning behind her words, Jiang Liniang felt that something was going on here, so she pretended to be casual and asked, "How do you say that?"
Huzhou was only one year older than Jiang Liniang, and the two young ladies of the Jiang family were quite friendly. She was not afraid of them, but felt a kind of intimacy due to their similar age. When she heard this, she lowered her voice and told her: "In the past, the third room of the Sun family There was a maid in the courtyard who was flirting with others and was very disorderly. When Mrs. Han found out, she became very angry. She grabbed the maid and cut out her flesh. Soon the maid died..."
"Ah!" Jiang Liniang couldn't control herself and exclaimed.
How painful it would be to cut out a piece of flesh alive...
Huzhou quickly covered her mouth.
Jiang Liniang realized what she was doing. She covered her mouth and asked in a low voice, "Why are you dead?"
She thought to herself, is the wound infected?
There are no antibiotics in this era...
Huzhou snorted lowly, showing a bit of contempt: "No, she hanged herself."
Jiang Liniang said "Ah" in surprise again.
Huzhou hesitated a little, but his eyes sparkled with excitement.
She held a secret in her hand, but she was hesitant whether she should tell it or not.
Seeing this, Jiang Liniang added fuel to the fire: "Sister Huzhou, just tell me, is there anything else going on here?"
Huzhou checked again and again that there was no one around, then he quietly approached her ear and said, "She didn't die of illness, she hanged herself because she felt embarrassed!"
Jiang Liniang looked at her confused.
Huzhou hesitated for a few moments and finally said: "Mrs. Han thought she was despicable and shameless, so she cut off her flesh..."
