"Oh, this is the new deputy general in our factory, named Liu Ziguang, who is also the chief accountant. He is a real all-rounder in both civil and military affairs. He has made great contributions to the counterattack tower under the Liguo City. The Qing Emperor's boots donated this time were captured by him.
He is the number one general in our iron factory. Commander Yuan Du asked his father for help several times, saying that he would take him back to be a pioneer officer, but my father has always been reluctant to let him go." Peng Jinrong introduced Liu Ziguang with a look on her face.
Somewhat colorful.
"Also, Liu Ziguang is the hero who defeated the Qing Dynasty's serial horse. We sisters have been witnessing it with our own eyes in the city. That Haizhou Huangzhen was beaten to a pulp by this lady in Xuzhou Mansion. Even I couldn't beat him.
, it’s also about breaking a chain horse, and it’s almost like breaking an old lady riding a donkey." Peng Jinrong added. Speaking of Liu Ziguang, that is the pride of the second lady, and that is the talent she discovered. She must brag about it no matter what when she sees the little sister.
Even if Xu Xiyuan doesn't mention it, she will be introduced to Liu Ziguang later, because this lady from the Duke's Mansion is a woman who doesn't like red clothes and prefers armed forces. She likes to make friends with heroes the most.
"Oh, there is also a real and fake Monkey King, but since the two sisters say it is true, the younger sister will naturally believe it." Xu Yuanhui stopped and looked at Liu Ziguang carefully.
Liu Ziguang was neither a handsome scholar with red lips and white teeth, nor a hunky-shouldered hero. Wearing an arrow uniform with narrow sleeves, he looked like a very ordinary warrior.
"The storyteller said that the young man in white robe had a face as beautiful as a jade, he was extraordinarily handsome, he was eight feet tall, and his waist circumference was also eight..." As Xu Yuanhui spoke, she suddenly stretched out her hand to push Liu Ziguang hard, and even made a stumbling block under her feet, which happened to be where they were.
The place was right on the edge of the pond. There were no railings at this section. In addition, Miss Xu's movements were so fast that it was almost lightning fast. Even though the Peng sisters reacted quickly, they could only scream, "Be careful!"
"
However, the next scene was a bit unexpected. Liu Ziguang was not pushed into the water. Instead, Xu Yuanhui almost fell into the water. Her body was tilted, almost parallel to the water surface. One hand was held by Liu Ziguang to prevent her from falling. The two of them kept
An ambiguous posture similar to Latin dance.
It turned out that the moment Xu Yuanhui made the move, Liu Ziguang immediately started to fight back. He got out of the way and used his strength to push Miss Xu down. However, a flash of lightning flashed in his mind. He wanted to save some face for the little girl, so he fought back again.
He reached out and grabbed Xu Yuanhui's hand.
Liu Ziguang said: "Why is Miss Xu walking so carelessly and wrestling in her own yard?" As soon as she exerted force on her hand, Xu Yuanhui got up, her face flushed, and she hid the hand held by Liu Ziguang behind her back. She was a little embarrassed.
I was speechless. I originally wanted to test Liu Ziguang's skills, but not only did I not push him down, but I also made a fool of myself. However, it was a success. The young man dressed as a warrior in front of me was able to evade this young lady's swift push.
It can be considered a quick reaction. The most powerful thing is that after pushing yourself to the back, at the moment when you almost fell into the water, you can suddenly take action to catch yourself. That is really extremely fast. You didn't even see what happened.
Take action.
Men and women do not kiss each other. The little girl has never had her hand held by a man. She is so embarrassed. Fortunately, the two sisters from the Peng family pretend not to see it. In fact, it is very hard to hold it in. I want to laugh but are afraid of hurting the little girl.
of self-esteem.
Fortunately, we were able to go up the steps to Jingmiao Hall. After entering the room, Peng Jinrong ordered the gifts for Xu Yuanhui to be opened, so that everyone could distract themselves and ease the awkward atmosphere just now.
This is a Yuanyang Hall building with two sides facing the pool. It has a fresh and elegant style, is small and exquisite, and is mainly used by the Duke's Palace to receive female guests. The two parties sat down, and the servant opened the gift box, lifted several layers of silk and satin cloth, and took out several exquisite
Peng Jingwei personally assembled the little thing on the Eight Immortals table.
Jewelry and jades, silks and satins, rare antiques, calligraphy and paintings are all too common in the Duke's mansion, and local products are not available, so the gift prepared by the iron factory this time is a small model train.
This train model is purely handmade. The front of the train is made of sterling silver, with a large emerald inlaid at the front. The wheels are specially painted red. The carriage is finely carved from nanmu, and the windows are inlaid with transparent shells.
, the small door can be opened, and it also comes with a set of wooden figures, a set of railway tracks and a train station. The figures can stand in the locomotive, and can also stand in the station to act as passengers. The sleepers of the railway tracks are connected with the tracks.
The sleepers are made of nanmu, the tracks are made of copper and painted with black paint. The train station is made of wood. Small pieces of nanmu are used as bricks to build the station. No nails are used. They are all jointed by exquisite carpentry techniques.
Yes, the whole model is very detailed and the materials used are also very particular. Its value is no less than jewelry and jade.
After assembling it, Xu Yuanhui circled around the table excitedly, looking like she couldn't put it down. The eyes of the family members of the Duke's Mansion were as wide as bells. They had seen trains before, but never such a small train.
Peng Jingwei and her sister looked at each other with a smile, took out a key, inserted it into a hole on the locomotive and twisted it a few times, then opened a small cover on the locomotive. The family brought over the iron box that had been prepared. Peng Jingwei used a clip to add
I put a few pieces of red-hot charcoal in, took a small bottle, poured some water into the locomotive, flipped the switch, and the small train started running immediately, and white steam came out of the chimney. It was serious and real.
Same.
Seeing the long train spinning on the Eight Immortals table, Xu Yuanhui clapped her hands and said, "What a cute little train. It's so interesting. How does it run? Does it need to burn charcoal?"
Peng Jingrong patiently explained on the side: "Of course such a small locomotive cannot accommodate a steam engine, so the train is driven by clockwork power. The few turns Xiaowei made just now are to tighten the clockwork. As for putting charcoal fire in, it is to generate electricity."
The steam looks like a real train, adding to the viewing experience."
"Oh, great, go back and move it to the upstairs where I am building, and let the carpenter build a platform to put it on." Xu Xiyuan was obviously very satisfied with the gift, holding the wooden figure in her hand and waving it around.
"It would be a pity to put this train on a wooden platform." Liu Ziguang interrupted at the side, and the young lady from the Duke's Mansion didn't even know how to play. She was really a bumpkin. Seeing everyone looking at him suspiciously, Liu Ziguang quickly explained: "
For such a detailed model, a room should be dedicated to it, mountains and plains should be piled up with soil, covered with turf, branches inserted, rivers dug out, clean water added, a small stone bridge built, and several small cities built.
Lay dozens of feet of railway track between cities, and the lanes need to be double-tracked. One train is not enough, so make two or three trains facing each other, and that’s how you can play.”
The three girls were dumbfounded. When it comes to playing with these things, boys are better. Liu Ziguang never played with high-end toys when he was a child. He used a matchbox and wire to pass through an earthen train on the sand.
Pulling up and running, he once imagined that one day he would be able to play with the model on a grand scale. Although he has never been able to do so, now that he contributes this idea, it can be regarded as fulfilling his wish.
"What a great idea!" The three girls praised together. Xu Yuanhui immediately ordered her servants to prepare an empty room and soil, sand and turf. She also asked a jeweler to build a 10-foot-long railway track with curves and forks.
Those that can be connected should be divided into small segments.
Several people were talking while playing with the small train. It turned out that they had known each other since they were children. Back then, Wei Guogong led troops and was stationed in Xuzhou Mansion all year round. At that time, the iron factory of the owner Peng was still a rebel army mainly composed of blacksmiths, cooperating with the imperial army.
After several victorious battles, the Duke of Guo and Factory Owner Peng became sworn friends. The two families often communicated with each other. Later, in the political struggle, the two families advanced and retreated together. Without making the right bet, the Duke of Guo also lost power and the iron factory
The relationship network in the capital has also been greatly reduced. However, the friendship is still preserved.
The little sisters were talking, but Liu Ziguang couldn't get in the conversation, so he could only sit aside. When he was bored, he suddenly heard a family member outside shouting: "The Duke is here."
Before he finished speaking, a tough figure entered the Jingmiao Hall. He was tall, with a beard, and about thirty years old. He was full of strength even when he walked, making a loud bang on the ground. He was worthy of being the first person in the founding of the Ming Dynasty.
A descendant of Xu Da, a fierce general.
"It turns out that the sister of the Peng family is here. I'm sorry for being so far away from you. I'm sorry, I'm sorry, hahaha." Kuairen spoke quickly and loudly. He seemed to be a generous person at first sight. The young Duke of Guo greeted all the guests.
The brothers and sisters of the Duke of Guo and the Peng sisters are old acquaintances. The only stranger is Liu Ziguang. No one else needs to say anything. This time Xu Xiyuan took the initiative to introduce: "Brother, this is the real young man in white robes, who destroyed the chain of horses in Liguo City."
, the great hero Liu Ziguang who chased the Qing Emperor and lost his boots."
"Oh, you are Liu Ziguang." The Duke of Guo stroked his beard and looked at Liu Ziguang.
This was the Duke of the Ming Dynasty. Liu Ziguang did not dare to be presumptuous, so he raised his hand and saluted: "I am the current Deputy General of the Iron Guard, Liu Ziguang. See you, Duke of the Kingdom."
"Sure enough, heroes are born in youth. I went to see Huang Zhen, the new colleague of Jin Yiwei, and it turned out to be a fake. He relied on his relatives in the eunuch party to fake military exploits and get an official position. It's a pity that his storytelling is still being talked about in the teahouse.
It’s really shameless. The eunuchs are harming the country.” The Duke of the country is really a sensible person, and he doesn’t hold back on his words.
"Brother~~" Xu Yuanhui shouted accusingly.
The Duke of Guo's eyes widened and he said: "What are you afraid of? What I said is all true, and everyone here is our own people, so there is nothing to be afraid of. Besides, Dad has tolerated it for so many years, but in the end he was not let go by them.
I am so pissed off by the eunuchs! Brother, I have no martial arts skills, but I can only serve as the commander of the Xiaoling Guards. I can be regarded as a personal soldier of the emperor, but I can't see the standing emperor. Do you think the eunuchs are not hateful?
?”
"That's that. Let's not talk about it. Haven't you always said that you can't find an opponent? Today, someone can finally compete with you." Xu Yuanhui encouraged the Duke of Guo to compete with Liu Ziguang. It seemed that he was also worried about the world being in chaos.
The character is very suitable for the second lady Peng Jingwei.
"I have this intention, General Liu, please don't refuse." Like his sister, this Duke is also a martial artist.
Martial arts competition is not a comparison to poetry, that is my strong point, Liu Ziguang readily agreed.
