Zhu Yuanzhang laughed and laughed: "What idea can I have? Liniang is so smart, wouldn't it be a pity not to show it to her advantage? Don't worry, Liniang is your sister, how can I force her - if If she doesn’t want to, forget it.”
Yuan Niang looked at him and said, "Don't lie to me."
Zhu Yuanzhang hehehe: "We never lie to others!"
Then he said seriously: "Okay, call Liniang over. I'll have a few words with her alone. It won't take much effort."
Yuanniang warned him: "Don't scare my sister!"
Zhu Yuanzhang quickly shook his head: "How can it be possible?"
Only then did Yuanniang give up.
When Jiang Liniang heard the call of death, her heart trembled as she realized whether she would succeed or not. She kept reminding herself in her heart - Hey, it's okay!
Jiang Xing, don’t be afraid, you are great, things are not as bad as you think!
She came to her brother-in-law with heavy steps, raised her head and met those dark eyes. All the mental construction she had done earlier was in vain...
How can you not be afraid! ! !
Jiang Liniang cried with tears in her eyes: "Brother-in-law."
Zhu Yuanzhang was amused: "Don't cry, does your brother-in-law look so scary?"
Jiang Liniang sniffed and shook her head.
Zhu Yuanzhang made a sound, tentatively reached out and patted her shoulder: "Sister, brother-in-law, let me tell you a few words from the bottom of my heart. Who in this world doesn't have a few secrets hidden in their hearts? As long as If my heart is upright, many things will go away if I just turn a blind eye."
Jiang Liniang's eyes were wet and her mind was spinning rapidly. After hearing these words, she knew that it was okay, at least it was okay now.
She immediately called out again: "Brother-in-law."
Zhu Yuanzhang let out an "ah" sound and said, "How can I harm you even if you call me brother-in-law? Sister, put your heart in your belly and do your best. Brother-in-law will not treat his own people badly."
Jiang Liniang felt 70% to 80% relieved, and finally there was light in her eyes again: "Really?"
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Why do I need to lie to you? You are Yuanniang's sister, so you are just like my own sister. How can I make you suffer? Don't you know that I always protect my shortcomings?"
That's true.
Jiang Liniang thought to herself, once Zhu Yuanzhang classified him as one of his own, he would really treat you with all his heart and soul. Just look at the clan of the Ming Dynasty...
She was completely relieved, but she was still a little confused.
Just ask, you're afraid of death.
If you don't ask, you can hold her back for the rest of your life.
Jiang Liniang hesitated for a long time, but finally couldn't hold it back and pierced the window paper: "Brother-in-law, how did you know that I could see..."
Zhu Yuanzhang was slightly startled.
【Jiang Xingzhu showed you his secret, do you choose to listen? 】
Inside the space, the emperors were also shocked.
Li Shimin murmured: "Why do some sheep owners still hand scissors to people's hands?"
Zhu Yuanzhang immediately showed an expression of knowing everything, and copied the answer given by Ying Zheng before: "When we first met, you stopped at the door for a long time, which is the same as my impression of you. The temperament is not consistent, and after entering the room, you looked at the top of my head nine times and the top of Pei Renfang’s head four times. Every time you looked at it, your expression changed. Is there anything you can’t guess? Arrived?"
Ying Zheng couldn't help but ask: "How do you know how many times she has seen her?"
Zhu Yuanzhang said shamelessly: "I made it up. Doesn't it sound like I'm extra powerful?"
Ying Zheng: "..."
Jiang Liniang was stunned.
Oh my God, is this the difference between an ordinary salted fish and a famous emperor? !
They just met once!
Fortunately she is not a bad person who violates laws and disciplines!
Over there, Zhu Yuanzhang asked kindly: "I'm really curious, what do you see above my head?"
Jiang Liniang hesitated whether to tell him the truth.
Let’s talk directly about Zhu Yuanzhang—there is no Zhu Yuanzhang in this era!
If this were exposed, wouldn't it just blow up the fact that she is not a native of this world?
Jiang Liniang had a troubled look on her face, but when Zhu Yuanzhang saw this, he didn't ask for details. He just smiled and said, "If you don't want to say it, then forget it. I never do anything that makes things difficult for others."
Jiang Liniang's heart felt warm.
The emperor's brother-in-law knew he had a secret, but he didn't force himself to tell it!
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at her expression and struck while the iron was hot: "Can you see the words above everyone's head?"
Jiang Liniang was in the period of trusting him, so she nodded without thinking after hearing this.
Zhu Yuanzhang was satisfied - the humanoid official quality inspection instrument!
Good girl, there will be many times when my brother-in-law can use you in the future!
Jiang Liniang received safety guarantees, a working environment, and even excellent logistical support, Zhu Yuanzhang got his ideal migrant worker, and everyone has a bright future!
Chapter 64
How would you describe your time-travel life?
As far as the game is concerned, Jiang Liniang feels that it is not a hell mode, and it definitely cannot be said to be friendly.
She was born into a poor farmer's family, her family couldn't squeeze out a lot of money, and she also had a Chen Shimei-style fiancé...
The only good thing is that everyone in my family has pretty good character.
From the first time she saw the three words "Chen Shimei" above Brother Xiu Cai's head, Jiang Liniang could guess her future destiny. But what could she do? She would have to pester her family to cancel the engagement. ?
She is also very helpless!
What happened after that was even more confusing. Although she had never experienced a natural disaster or a man-made disaster, the birthplace of Xibao Village was relatively friendly to her, but it was not suitable for situations such as illness or labor. Under the influence of resistance, she had a hard time in the first fifteen years after traveling through time.
Until she discovered that the "fate of wealth" above her cousin's head had become the "fate of queen", and then her three brothers and sisters were accepted as disciples by the current situ Shiyun.
Things are changing for the Jiang family.
At that time, Jiang Liniang felt that this was the beginning of her family's rapid rise.
However, looking back a few years later, she realized with almost compassion that the edges and corners of her body were being polished by the whole world, and her feeble desire to go against the trend of history started from that year. The beginning.
When she was still Jiang Xing, she received a good education.
She clearly knows the direction of history, from the primitive slave society to the feudal era, to the emergence of capitalism and modern times.
She has studied Ma Zhe and knows Das Kapital, but there is an abyss between knowing and understanding.
For example, people know that there are quite a few serial murderers in the world, but one day they suddenly learn that their next-door neighbor is a vicious serial murderer with dozens of corpses in his bedroom. The tremor is nothing like the tremor you get when you hear about something like this happening somewhere in the news media.
It was Qinghong who gave Jiang Liniang this creepy tremor in the first place.
After that, she had a long talk with her old teacher, and finally decided on her goal - to do her best to change this era, develop productivity, and speed up the progress of history!
Of course she knew that this would not be accomplished overnight, but she felt that it would be good to speed things up a little bit.
Before her cousin's wedding, Jiang Liniang moved into the studio specially set up for her by the emperor's brother-in-law.
At first, she still went back and forth every day. In the end, she found it troublesome and could not bear to leave such a working environment where the logistics were fully mobilized and every idea could be implemented, so she simply started to stay in the manor permanently, every day. Go home every five days.
Jiang Liniang enjoyed the feeling of being fully immersed in work. It made her feel that she was indeed doing something useful for this era and for everyone in this era.
Until she met several blacksmiths who were recruited in the manor.
Behind the blacksmith was a half-grown child.
At that time, Jiang Liniang had just come out of the workroom and felt a little tired, so she walked along the path in the manor accompanied by Hu Zhou. Suddenly she saw an eight or nine-year-old child, and she couldn't help but feel secretly surprised. , approached and asked: "What are you doing here?"
The child glanced at her awkwardly, took a few steps back in fear, and stood with several other craftsmen with weathered faces and burnt red faces.
Jiang Liniang felt a little surprised. She saw an attendant wearing a uniform next to her. She was about to ask him a question, but the next second the whip in the servant's hand hit him hard.
"How dare you dodge the noble question?"
A crisp sound of "pop" rang in her ears, and Jiang Liniang couldn't help but shudder. The child was protected by a craftsman who looked somewhat similar to him, but the whip fell firmly. On him.
Several people knelt on the ground in fear, kowtowing to her.
Jiang Liniang's heart felt cold. When the officer saw this, he wanted to hit her again, but she shouted angrily. At this moment, the craftsman suddenly pressed the child's back of the neck, turned his face, and said "Ahhhh" After saying something, the father and son raised their heads together, opened their mouths to her humbly and respectfully, with a flattering smile on their faces.
None of them have tongues.
Jiang Liniang's soul flew into the sky.
The father and son were recruited blacksmiths. They were originally private slaves of a wealthy family. Although this dynasty is a salt and iron official, there are always some small things that are easy to do at home, so there are also some in wealthy families. Raise a few craftsmen to prepare for emergencies.
After the fall of Dou Jing, the big family was liquidated, and the father and son naturally fell into the hands of the court as domestic servants.
Jiang Liniang asked the steward with lingering fear: "Their tongues - are they afraid that they will leak the secret?"
The steward said: "In the early years, the work of iron smelting was a top secret. For the sake of prudence, the master had to cut out the tongues of all craftsmen."
Jiang Liniang asked again: "That child..."
The steward said clearly: "The craftsman is of low status and sold into slavery. Of course, his descendants will also be of low status. They are also slaves of the master's family. When they grow up, they will take over his father's work, so they will also be Cut out the tongue.”
He is obviously very familiar with the rules here: "You can't cut it when you are young. Firstly, the child is too tender and will die easily. Secondly, if he becomes a mute, he will inevitably be clumsy and slow to learn things. They always wait until they are a little bigger before cutting them."
Jiang Liniang remained silent for a long time.
How painful it would be for such a young child to cut off his tongue while he was alive!
As parents, since their children are born, they know clearly the fate they will face. How painful it must be!
Jiang Liniang called the father and son over. She wanted to say something, but she felt weak.
Her words were of no use to their already established lives.
The child was originally a slave and had long known how to face his master. He had seen Jiang Liniang outside once before and knew that she was a noble person. When he saw her again, he carefully showed a flattering smile.
Jiang Liniang turned away and was silent for a long time before asking the blacksmith: "Is this the only child you have?"
