Rongguo Mansion, Rongqing Hall.

The ladies in the back house had little fun and had nothing to do, so Jia Mu, Mrs. Wang, Aunt Xue and Sister Feng gathered together to play dominoes.

Nian Xing was just in time. Jia Mu saw that Aunt Xue had a knot between her eyebrows and she was not as comfortable as before. She wondered: "His concubine, I see you are absent-minded. What happened?"

Hearing Jia Mu's question, Aunt Xue sighed softly and didn't know where to start. On the other hand, Mrs. Wang's thoughts moved and she said: "Old lady, you don't know that she is worried about the Xia family's affairs.

.”

"Xia family? Is that the "Osmanthus Xia family"?" Jia Mu confirmed in confusion. This Xia family was a small family in the Duke's palace. How could Jia Mu bother to remember it.

When Aunt Xue saw Jia Mu speaking, she didn't hide it. She nodded and said, "That's what the old lady said."

When Jia Mu heard this, she looked at Aunt Xue. She had heard a few things about the Xue family and the Xia family, so she knew something about the Xue family and the Xia family. It was said that both families were in love with each other.

, why are you suddenly worried about the Xia family again? Could it be that something went wrong?

Thinking of this, Jia Mu asked curiously: "The Xia family is very fond of Brother Pan, isn't it? If so, what do you have to worry about?"

Aunt Xue sighed after hearing this: "Old lady, I have nothing to hide. My brother, the old lady, also knows it. He is used to making fun of him. Didn't he spend a lot of money to redeem an oiran?

, she is still being raised outside. The Xia family knows this and is not willing to get married."

Hearing this, Jia Mu immediately understood. Most people in the house knew that Xue Pan spent 100,000 taels to buy a kiln girl. This man hid the kiln girl before he got married. Which one would he replace it with?

Not bad..........

After a pause, Jia Mu said, "Brother Pan did a really bad job with this matter. He is so stubborn. It's not worth spending so much effort."

After saying this, Jia Mu stopped talking. After all, this was the Xue family's business, and she couldn't say much...

Sister Feng didn't want to say anything. After all, the people present were all her elders. She, a junior, was so talkative. She just saw Aunt Xue in trouble and thought that they were all from the Wang family, so she said: "Hey

, Auntie, too. What a big deal this is. In the past, our ancestors taught us that these men are like greedy cats. They get tired of it after a taste. It has been some time since the kiln sister brought her back.

It’s not enough for Brother Pan, and I guess he’s in a good mood now. Let’s see, I’ll give the kiln sister some money and drive her out. If everyone is clean, everything will be fine with the Xia family.”

After saying that, Sister Feng flattered Jia Mu and said, "Ancestor, do you think so?"

Jia Mu was delighted when she heard this, and laughed and scolded her: "You little girl, you are talking about your own thing. Why are you taking my pleasure? I'll tear your mouth out carefully."

Of course Aunt Xue also knows this, but the kiln sister is not easy to chase. If it was just because Xue Pan liked it, she would have chased her away long ago. However, Jia Yun has the final say in this matter, and she has to give this "half son" some face.

no.

Mrs. Wang on the side took the initiative to help: "It turns out that she had the same idea, but it was Brother Yun who decided to keep the kiln sister. I asked before, and Brother Yun probably meant to keep the kiln sister."

….

"Oh...there's something about the monkey here?" Jia Mu was a little surprised.

Sister Feng felt scornful when she heard this. Don't think too much, it must be that damn ghost who is greedy, so he helped keep the man here. It's not like she has never heard of men having fun together.

Aunt Xue was afraid that Jia Mu and others were thinking wrongly, so she explained: "Old lady, you also know that my bastard is very stubborn. After Brother Yun found out about this, he made the decision to let Sister Yao stay to restrain Pan.

Son, now it seems that that bastard is indeed alive and well."

Listening to these words, Jia Mu felt a little disgusted. Jia Yun didn't care about the Jia family's affairs, but he was willing to pay attention to the Xue family's affairs. From this point of view, there is no "half son", I'm afraid the whole person

It belongs to the Xue family.

Thinking of this, Mother Jia frowned and said, "Brother Yun, this is such a big deal. In the past, I thought it was a good thing. I never thought that I would bring anything dirty and smelly home."

It was hard for Aunt Xue to say anything. After all, Jia Mu was Jia Yun's great-grandmother. It was reasonable for this great-grandmother to say a few words about her great-grandson.

Jia Mu glanced at Aunt Xue and immediately asked, "What will the Xia family say if Sister Yao wants to stay?"

Aunt Xue sighed and said, "I went to the Xia family two days ago and mentioned something to the Xia family's wife. The Xia family's wife's face immediately fell. I'm afraid this marriage will be ruined."

Aunt Xue thought about this matter for a few days, and finally decided to listen to Jia Yun's opinion. After all, Jia Yun is the uncle of the Xue family and the support of the Xue family. Since Jia Yun made suggestions, she naturally tried to obey them. Although Jia Yun said

It's up to her to make the decision, but if she insists on having her own way, who knows what Jia Yun will think.

Hearing this, Jia Mu didn't say anything more, and the ladies started playing dominoes again......

....................................................

Beijing camp on the outskirts of the city.

After Jia Yun's wedding, he rested in the mansion for a period of time, but after all, he had errands with the Beijing camp, and it was not easy for Jia Yun to stay in the mansion all the time. He still had to come to the Beijing camp for a tour.

At this time, Jia Yun came to the martial arts field, took the gun, skillfully loaded the ammunition, lit the match, and pulled the trigger. There was a sound of "Bang!", smoke filled the air, and a wooden straw human-shaped target in the distance shook slightly.

, obviously a hit.

"It's okay. It's slightly better than the last batch of fire blunderbuss, but the quality is limited." Jia Yun operated it for a while and then started to evaluate it.

Zeng Guofan on the side said: "Uncle, now the military affairs department is responsible for the management of armaments, so it is naturally easier for us."

After Jia Yun heard this, he understood clearly that military generals knew much better than civil servants about military preparations, and the acceptance inspection was more in line with the standards of military commanders. This was beyond the reach of civil servants. After all, there were specialties in the arts.

The Great Qian Dynasty did not care about the fire blunderbuss. It was troublesome to load and reload the fire blunderbuss, and the rate of fire was slow. People might rush in front of them when the first shot was fired, so it was not very practical.

But Jia Yun knew that firearms would dominate the world in the future, but now the development of firearms is not as expected. The muskets used in the Qian Dynasty were still matchlock guns. Who made the matchlock guns quick to use and cheap to make? Jia Yun had nothing to say about this.

You can only do it step by step.

Nodding, Jia Yun handed the musket to the soldier and immediately asked, "Boyo, how is the flintlock thing going?"

Zeng Guofan looked a little embarrassed and reported: "Uncle, there is no progress. Once the weather is wet, the flint will not produce sparks, and the musket will become a fire stick."

Jia Yun didn't have much to say after hearing this. Jia Yun didn't know much about guns, so he could only make a request and let the skilled craftsmen below overcome it. Others couldn't help much.

After groaning, Jia Yun said: "The weather is humid and the flint cannot produce sparks. You ask the craftsmen to find a way to solve it. If it is solved, I will give you a big reward."

"Yes, I understand." Zeng Guofan responded.
