Zuo Aoran ordered people to build a charcoal kiln on the mountain. After the charcoal kiln was built, Zuo Aoran led people to make a so-called charcoal day and night. Everyone was puzzled and asked Zuo Aoran what he was doing with these things.
Yes, Zuo Aoran didn't answer, and just said: "The secret must not be leaked!"
What Zuo Aoran used was to make charcoal by extinguishing the flame in the kiln, which is collectively called the flameout method in the kiln. The resulting charcoal is called "black charcoal". Its advantage is that it is easy to ignite, but its disadvantage is that it is easy to explode. It is necessary for making black gunpowder.
An indispensable thing.
He also ordered Ma Sheng to take Zhan Zhan's heads and some gold and silver to the Zhending County Government to coerce and induce the county magistrate Huang Tao, and asked him to recommend Zuo Aoran as Xiaolian (one of the official selection subjects in the Han Dynasty, each county and state promoted filial sons, and honest officials)
One person, for the purpose of "promoting filial piety and honesty.") Huang Tao was frightened when he saw Ren Zhan's head. How could he dare to show off his official power? He kept promising, and went to recommend Zuo Aoran. Unexpectedly,
The thing is that things went very smoothly. This was not because Huang Tao was too proud, but because Zuo Aoran asked Ma Sheng to take care of all the officials in Changshan Kingdom.
Not only that, Zuo Aoran also asked Zhu Ci, Lu Kuang, and Lu Xiang to lead 300 soldiers to guard the hospital, escort five boxes of gold and two boxes of antique jades to Luoyang, buy the post of Zhuojun Prefect, and bribe Zhang Rang.
, Zhao Zhong and other eunuchs, and the future general He Jin.
In addition, Zuo Aoran also asked his eldest brother Gao Lan to take his two cousins back to Zuojiazhuang to strictly train these soldiers. Liu Quan, Liu Hu, and Ma Sheng led 300 people
Guard Qipan Mountain.
He himself was developing the so-called black gunpowder in his house. Black gunpowder was like child's play to Zuo Aoran. He held sarsaparilla in his hand and used it for three days. Zuo Aoran successfully developed the black gunpowder.
.
On this day, Zuo Aoran was very happy. He wanted to call everyone together and announce to everyone the good news of the successful development of black gunpowder. But God did not go as planned. Nine times out of ten, Zuo Aoran sat in the middle of the Juyi Hall.
Only when I was sitting on the tiger-skin treasure carving chair did I remember that Brother Zhu and the Lu brothers had gone to Luoyang. The eldest brother Gao Lan was in Zuojiazhuang with his two cousins. They wanted to call them Liu Quan, Liu Hu and Ma Sheng.
Come on! When asked, Ma Sheng was supervising the work at the foot of the cliff, Liu Hu had gone somewhere, and Liu Quan was escorting the grain and grass back to Zuojiazhuang, and he just left in one move.
Just when Zuo Aoran was feeling lonely and had nothing to do, suddenly an extremely weak voice asked: "Oh, who is this? Isn't this my good brother who has no heart, a bad heart, and a bad heart?"
Zuo Aoran knew who this was. There were not many people in this mountain who dared to talk to Zuo Aoran like this, let alone a woman. This person was none other than Jin Lian. Zuo Aoran felt a little stunned when he heard Jin Lian's words.
But after thinking about it, I felt relieved. She must be complaining that she didn't come to see her today.
Zuo Aoran said with a smile on his face: "What happened to my good sister? It was that indifferent and daring guy who bullied my good sister. The good sister told her brother, and he punished him well!"
Jin Lian snorted, rolled her eyes at Zuo Aoran, and said, "You know the consultant is like a mirror, so why bother asking my sister?"
"Brother realizes his mistake. As long as he can make his sister happy, he will agree to all her requests. What do you want from her?" Zuo Aoran saw that Jin Lian was about to get angry, so he quickly said good things, trying to extinguish Jin Lian's little fire.
.
Jin Lian thought to herself: "It's been so long, but you haven't mentioned a word about marrying me. I feel so uncomfortable on the mountain. When I have nothing to do, I can come to you to relieve the itch, okay! I haven't been there for three whole days.
God, I finally found out that you went to make those medicinal materials, but someone stopped me when I went to find you, and said that no one was there. Haha... Let's see if I make you submit today... Every man can escape from me
The palm of my hand... today I will cook some raw rice and cooked rice..."
"Sister, if you want something or have any request, just tell your brother, and he will respond to your request." Zuo Aoran said again when Jin Lian didn't speak.
Jin Lian did not respond to Zuo Aoran's question, but asked: "Is my sister gentle? Is she virtuous? Is she a qualified wife and mother?"
"Yes, yes, yes, of course." Zuo Aoran continued to sell well and followed Jin Lian.
The gloomy expression on Jin Lian's face gradually disappeared, and what was replaced was a charming and charming smile: "As the saying goes: the eldest sister is better than the mother! Right?"
"Why does sister ask this?" Zuo Aoran asked in confusion.
Jin Lian smiled charmingly, her eyes flashing with eyes: "Sister, I asked you if you are right?"
"That's true." Zuo Aoran didn't understand what he meant and said blankly.
Jin Lian asked again: "It's almost noon, is my brother hungry?"
Zuo Aoran only felt that Jin Lian's questions were all confused and confused. The first sentence did not follow the next sentence, and the words were wrong. But he didn't know why Jin Lian was like this. Could it be that she was depressed and became a neurotic?
I thought: "No way! No one is irritating her! What is going on..."
Jin Lian saw Zuo Aoran remaining silent.
The next day, Zuo Aoran, Liu Hu, and Jin Lian, together with 100 soldiers, returned to Zuojiazhuang with the black gunpowder developed by Zuo Aoran and some grain. All matters on the mountain were temporarily left to Liu Quan and Ma
Better to take care of two people.
Liu Hu, who appeared on the way that day, just happened to disturb Zuo Aoran and Jin Lian's good affairs. What happened was that someone in Zuojiazhuang sent a message that Zuo Aoran's mother Liu asked her son Zuo Aoran to go home quickly.
, saying that something important was waiting for him.
They were on the road for more than one day. On this day, Zuo Aoran returned home. He first said hello to his mother, Mrs. Liu, and then went to visit his master Hua Tuo in his room. After all the trivial matters, big and small, Zuo Aoran knew
Why did I come back in such a hurry all the way?
Hua Tuo, a young man, determined to practice medicine all over the world and take it as his duty to save people.
His master Hua Tuo was about to travel far away again, and his mother, Liu, could not persuade him to stay, so she had to give her son a cousin before Hua Tuo left. As the saying goes: "Once a teacher, always a father!" Hua Tuo
He also nodded and agreed, waiting for his apprentice to perform the rites of completion before leaving, and fulfilled his obligations as a master.
Everyone was sitting together. There were two chairs in the main seat, one for Liu and the other for Zuo Aoran's master Hua Tuo. Zuo Aoran and Gao Lan were sitting on the left hand and the right hand respectively.
Below are Liu Hu, Gao Ping, Gao Huai, and Luo Shixin. Xue Jiao and Jin Lian stand behind Zuo Aoran's mother Liu.
"Today is a great day for the Zuo family, and also a great day for my son. Originally, the coming-of-age ceremony was not held until Ran'er was twenty years old, but my husband died early, and I, a woman, could not preside over it. It just so happened that Dr. Hua
Here, the ancients said: "Once a teacher, always a father!" Divine Doctor Hua is Ran'er's teacher and also Ran'er's father. Divine Doctor Hua is about to travel around the world to practice medicine and save people. He doesn't know when he will return, so it would be better to choose a better day.
When the sun hits the sun, just before Divine Doctor Hua leaves, I want to pick up a word for Ran'er." Mrs. Liu said.
Hua Tuo twirled his beard with his hand and said: "Hua is originally a mountain doctor and has no literary talent. This matter is very difficult for Hua."
"The disciples will all accept the calligraphy given by the master, no matter how high or low their literary talent is." Zuo Aoran knelt in front of Hua Tuo and said.
