Fragrance Returned

What Ding Zhuang didn’t say was that Tailor Li was particularly willing to help Ding Zhuang with this favor and he agreed very happily.

Tailor Li is a hunchback with a beautiful wife, but he is often bullied by some gangsters. If you have a good relationship with the Ding family and his son, those people will not dare to bully them at will.

After more than a month of contact, Ding Zhuang likes and cherishes Ding Sifu even more, and he goes to great lengths for him.

Lilac is also happy. This is perfect. Ding Si has a rich place to live and can learn crafts from Tailor Li.

After breakfast the next day, Zhang dressed Lilac in a light green autumn sweater, a long green skirt of the same color, a white silk armor with green floral prints, a green ribbon on her head, and a gold bracelet that Ding Zhao bought in the capital. collar.

Mrs. Zhang looked at the beautiful little girl and smiled, then held her face and kissed her.

"My daughter is so beautiful."

Ding Xiang hugged her and said coquettishly, "It's my mother who made me so beautiful."

Zhang's smile deepened.

The other members of the Ding family were all dressed in new fine cloth clothes and looked very smart. It looked like they were visiting as guests.

However, all of their outfits combined are not as valuable as Ding Xiang's outfits alone.

Ding Zhao drove the bullock cart, and Ding Zhuang got into the cart with Ding Xiang and several others.

The weather has become colder, so a shed has been added to the bullock cart.

Feifei, who had his legs tied, and Heiwa, who had his neck tied, stretched their necks to look at Ding Xiang, their eyes full of reluctance.

"Quack, quack, quack..."

"Woof woof woof woof..."

The Yang Hu family placed two bowls of food in front of them and said with a smile, "Sister Xiang will be back in the afternoon."

Qian's house is a three-entry house, decorated in a grand and grand manner, with not many flowers and rockeries. There are only a few clumps of bamboo and a few banyan and camphor trees that have lost most of their leaves.

Qian Dahu's daughter-in-law, Mrs. Min, came out to welcome him.

Her eyes were immediately attracted to the lilac in Ding Zhuang's arms, and she laughed loudly, "Oh, this is Xiao Xiangxiang, right? I thought old shopkeeper Ding was bragging, and my master was exaggerating, but I didn't expect it to be more popular than the legend. So tender and beautiful.”

She glanced at Ding Zhuang and said, "To tell you something that the old shopkeeper doesn't like to hear, this child really doesn't look like your biological granddaughter, but looks like she was born to the princess. Ouch, you're so jealous of me, please let me hug you." "

Min was born into a family of military generals, and his father was a guerrilla general in the Huizhou army.

She is tall, has three-dimensional facial features, is lightly painted with makeup, and wears a bamboo-green embroidered jacket. Her personality is as bold and cheerful as Qian Er's head.

And she's very good at talking. Regardless of the truth or polite words, Ding Zhuang was so happy that he beat the boss. He didn't dare to praise Ding Xiang too much now, but when he heard others praise Ding Xiang so much, he was very happy even if he was eliminated.

These words made Ding Zhao and Zhang's hearts tighten. They looked at each other and quickly looked away.

Ding Zhuang put Dingxiang down and said, "Granddaughter, I'll give you Qian as a gift."

Ding Xiang almost burst into laughter. Aunt Qian revealed the truth. She was not born to a princess.

She likes this Mrs. Qian.

Dingxiang knelt down and kowtowed to Mrs. Min, "Xiangxiang has met Aunt Qian."

Aunt Qian asked Zhang and Ding Lichun to deliver gifts to Ding Xiang several times. She liked them so much today that she took a red gold-encrusted hairpin from her head and stuffed it into Ding Xiang's hand.

She picked up Ding Xiangxiang and kissed her several times. They went into the room and sat down, serving tea.

Aunt Qian pinched Dingxiang's little face, nose, and ears again, and said, "This girl is not only good-looking, but also blessed. Look at her little face, her forehead, as plump as a red apple. And her earlobes, and Big and thick, as big as a Bodhisattva's ears..."

The Ding family was very happy.

After chatting for a while, Ding Zhuang took out the ice knife and put it on the table.

Aunt Qian's eyes were full of amazement and surprise, and she repeatedly asked people to go to the escort agency to ask the master to go home quickly.

Qian's house is very close to the escort agency, only one street away.

In less than two quarters of an hour, Qian Dahu came back on a fast horse.

He also loved the knife when he saw it. He held the knife in one hand and waved it a few times, then laughed and said, "If this knife wasn't entrusted to me by the Linfeng brothers, I would definitely find a way to get rid of it. Haha, it's really an advantage for him."

Aunt Qian laughed and said, "I'm telling you the truth, I think so too. If it were someone else, I would definitely have sex with you."

Qian Dahu said again, "Get ready for lunch. After dinner, I will take Mr. Ding to Jiaozhou. I will also go at the beginning of spring, so that you can see the navy and see the battleships, cannons and muskets of our Li Dynasty. You If you want to take the martial arts exam, you have to be familiar with these firearms.”

Looking extremely proud.

Ding Lichun happily agreed.

Aunt Qian smiled and said, "I'll go too, just in time to see my grandson and granddaughter."

My son, daughter-in-law, and grandson are in Jiaozhou, and my son-in-law, daughter-in-law, and granddaughter are also in Jiaozhou. The granddaughter is just two months old, and the couple have never met her.

Qian Dahu nodded in agreement.

Aunt Qian told Ding Lichun again, "You can only look at those firearms but not touch them. Be careful of injury."

The husband's hand was damaged by a fire blunderbuss, and his future was ruined.

Qian Dahu is henpecked and usually won't fall out with his wife. But he didn't like hearing this very much and even frowned.

"You women only pay attention to the minutiae. Don't be soldiers if you are afraid of death or injury. Water warfare, cannons and fire blunderbuss are much stronger than crossbows and arrows, and land warfare is more dangerous than swords and guns. Don't touch it. Why fight anymore? No matter what we do, accidental injuries are inevitable. The imperial court will also vigorously develop firearms. This is a trend. "

Ding Xiang had heard that there were earthen cannons and firecrackers in this era, but the accuracy of iron was not good and it was easy to explode. It must be stopped to cool down after firing several times, which affects the combat speed and can easily cause accidental damage.

Although she did not study casting in her previous life, she often heard her grandma and uncle talk about casting matters and knew some common sense about casting.

Especially when I was young, I noticed that the barrels of native cannons in movies and TV dramas were short and thick, which was completely different from the thin and long barrels of modern times. A short barrel means a short range. I wonder why it wasn't made longer in ancient times.

She asked her grandma and uncle, and read some information herself, and found out that ancient iron did not have enough strength and toughness, making it easy to explode, so the gun barrel could not be designed to be short and thick. Even so, explosions do happen from time to time.

She also knows how to increase the strength and toughness of iron, the rare earths.

In its previous life, rare earths are also called spheroidizing agents. Adding molten iron in proportion can change the chaotically distributed flake graphite in the cast iron matrix into spherical graphite, thereby greatly reducing the area where the flake graphite splits the cast iron matrix, making the cast iron matrix greatly purified and Improved, producing a steel-like matrix, thereby increasing the strength and toughness of iron.

Once the steel is produced, adding rare earths can optimize the matrix of the steel.

In addition, rare earths have more roles in modernization...

Producing high-quality firearms at home will not only make life easier for the family, but also improve the future of the eldest brother, and the military power of the Li Dynasty will also take a big step forward.

Didn't Ding Chi say that she prospered in the world?

The creation of good firearms did not make the Li Dynasty prosperous.
