Chapter 214 Slingshot and Vase
.
Then during the few days of Jingui's family, I stayed in the embroidery building of the two ladies. Bing'er and Yu'er also completed the great transformation from a female cat to a lioness. Whenever I saw the jasper thorn ring on my thumb, the bodies of the two little jaspers involuntarily began to lean up and couldn't even whip away with a whip. Of course, I wouldn't be cruel enough to use a whip to suck the beautiful woman with a whip that was dipped in water. This whip is a product in the room sold by the Whale House Branch - the nine-tailed whip, such as the two-headed dragon and the nine-tailed whip, which have a very good sales route in several coastal provinces in China.
‘Bing'er, Yu'er, do you usually only watch these chivalrous novels without practicing martial arts?’ As far as I know, if you shoot a movie like Shaolin Temple in this era, there will be countless people going to Shaolin, Songshan to learn from their masters. However, although there are no movies in this era, the influence of this chivalrous novel is quite large. Before the firearms were completely popular, learning martial arts was still very popular.
Yu'er replied depressedly, "I thought about it, but my father refused to invite a master for us."
This is indeed a problem. Even if the family supports women in learning martial arts, they will always hire a female master to teach them how to teach them. How can men and women teach them if they are not close to each other? However, although there are many people who learn martial arts, they are pitifully rare when calculated. As far as I know, there are only a few masters in Mount Emei that are good at martial arts. It is impossible to run from Jiangsu to Mount Emei to become a master, but it is too difficult to hire a master from a thousand miles from Sichuan.
Bing'er's words flashed, 'Actually, my sister and I have also practiced a little bit secretly. Don't be angry, my husband."
‘Oh. Can I see it?’
Bing'er and Yu'er lay under the bed. After playing for a while, they took out a box. Not long after, Bing'er and Yu'er were equipped. Each of them had a beef tendon and elm slingshot, and dozens of pieces of paper-burned mud balls.
‘That’s it.’ No matter how I look at it, it seems like a toy for ten-year-old kids to play with. I played with it when I was a child, but later I joined the army and had assault rifles. Who would play slingshots? I could only hit twenty or thirty meters, and it was not powerful. It was really not as good as the worst Japanese-style long-range weapon in the world - Kimaru Bow. The Japanese-style weapon Kimaru Bow can still shoot people to death, the premise is that it hits the key point, and the other is that the other party was not wearing armor and was thundered by thousands of arrows, and died of excessive bleeding.
'It was finally easy to get it.' Bing'er and Yu'er knew that I had a foreign gun on them. They compared them with the foreign gun with two slingshots, and immediately couldn't raise their heads. However, I was not prepared to equip Bing'er and Yu'er with foreign guns. First, a skilled gunner cannot use foreign guns at all. Even if they shoot at close range, they cannot hit the target. The strong recoil can push the bullets into the sky or the ground. If the wrist strength is not strong enough, the feet are not stable enough, the strong recoil generated by the original gunpowder can push the thin person a little. Second, frequent shooting practice can solve the previous problem, but people who often shoot will have a thick layer of calluses on the index finger, and if they use the rifle for a long time, the gun cocoon will be ground out. I will not do this to destroy the girl's tender skin.
‘Tap one with a slingshot and show it to me.’
Seeing that I was so interested, Bing'er and Yu'er also cheered up again and kept searching for the target from the window, but they were a little accurate. In a few strokes, they scared away all the birds resting on the trees in the garden, and they didn't hit a single target. Seeing that there was no target for activity, Bing'er and Yu'er turned their heads and looked at me, "I haven't practiced for a long time, I have no accurate heads..."
‘I should strengthen my exercise.’ I pondered, and then I remembered something in my mind. I took the pen, ink, paper and inkstone on the desk and wrote a letter and handed it to Bing'er, ‘Go and send a servant to take this letter to the whale house in Nanjing.’
Bing'er found a maid to send the letter out, turned it back and asked, 'What? Letter, is it a better slingshot?'
‘Not a slingshot, you. It’s enough for two to use this slingshot. I found some targets to practice for you.’ The whale house now has a large amount of glassware shipped to the Ming Dynasty. The glassware investment is small and the profit is high. This thing is good, but it is also very crisp. There will inevitably be some bumps and bumps during long-distance transportation. These defective products produced in transportation are never allowed to be sent to the market, even if there is only a little bump and flaw. The high profit of glassware determines that as long as one-third of the goods are transported to the Ming Dynasty intact, it will be more than ten times the profit. The whale house has these parts in the Ming Dynasty.
The store is a place that only sells high-quality products. Given that Japanese auto companies often sell inferior cars to China in later generations, they have made people angry, and I don’t want to be seen there, and they have bad reputations and their signatures. However, these things will not be wasted. Whale House is not allowed to sell defective products, but I don’t care about defective products that Ming people sell glassware themselves. There is no mark on it. I plan to deal with them all at a low price to local merchants in Ming Dynasty when these defective products are stored to a certain number. However, it’s good to take some of them for my women to play with them as slingshot targets. Anyway, I didn’t want to make money on these defective products.
Although it was only opened in the Ming Dynasty branch, the Japanese were still very efficient. When I sent the two sisters to the cloud for the second time, the defective glassware from the four trucks filled with wooden boxes had been delivered to Jingui Mansion.
I opened a wooden box casually and found that the straw for filling buffers was still there. I picked up a glass vase and looked up and down. There were only two subtle bumps on the upper edge, which I couldn't see if I didn't look carefully. It seemed that the Whale House was still faithfully executing my orders.
I copied two glass vases and asked the servants to place them on the courtyard wall of the small garden. A bunch of servants were left watching these glassware that I had never seen before. The people sent from the Whale House bowed 90 degrees and then left without saying a word.
I went up to the embroidery building again, "Bing'er Yu'er got up, it was in broad daylight, and I was not shy." Seeing Bing'er and Yu'er still maintaining the posture I was going down the embroidery building, I went up to the front and slapped them and said, "I said."
‘Let’s go inside.’ Seeing Binger and Yuer standing at the window with only one coat, I reminded carefully that the weather is not cold, but if the guests come in, I will suffer a loss.
Bing'er and Yu'er have long seen it. It's not enough for me to change a few small clothes a day. Apart from the special date, it's better to wear a vacuum. "Don't worry, if someone comes, the maid will ask them to wait. This is also convenient for your husband."
‘The target is set up. From now on, let’s practice the slingshot.’ I turned behind Bing'er and Yu'er, and a pair of magic clutches penetrated into it and took advantage of it. Since it was for the convenience of me, I don’t have to be polite.
‘This is it?’ Bing'er just picked up the slingshot and found that the ammunition had been replaced by me. The original Yuhua Stone ammunition had been replaced by a pile of glass balls that shone in the sun.
‘Glass balls, have you never seen one?’ Glass balls are the largest and lowest-priced products among various glassware. Even if you only need a tael of silver in Ming Dynasty, you can buy a lot of fun for children. If I am happy, I can even use glass balls to replace the lead balls in the Kudo family’s iron cannon to shoot.
Yu'er also picked up a handful of colorful glass balls and looked at them, "I've seen them, but you know my dad, too. I can't bear to buy them for us."
'That's natural. Your father wants to raise a family. Besides, you are not children anymore. But I am different from your husband. Who made you my heart flesh?' As I said that, I grabbed the meat near the two sisters' hearts.
Binger and Yu'er now want to have a girl duet "Only Husband in the World" to express their inner thoughts. However, Binger soon made a new discovery, 'That's a glass vase. Who put it on the wall? What should I do if it falls down?'
‘That’s not a glass vase, or it used to be a glass vase, but now it’s just a target for you to practice slingshots, just a target.’ I explained behind the two sisters.
Bing'er and Yu'er firmly refused to fire at the glass vase, 'That's not OK. Even if the glass ball is forgotten, it can be picked up by the servants and reused. How can this glass vase be used as a target? Go and let someone take it down? This is something more precious than gold and silver.'
Seeing the two women say this, I had to explain, 'The glass vases are broken and defective products.'
Bing'er and Yu'er shook their heads together, "The defective products are not good either."
As for it, two broken vases. I didn’t know how many times I broke the same size of wine bottles when I was a kid. My drunkard father never said a word. Occasionally, it was also a drunken compliment, "Get good at playing." Then give me some pocket money, otherwise I wouldn’t go on the road of shooting athletes.
Here we were arguing about whether we should use a slingshot to make a vase. The door that night of the embroidery building was opened for me and my maid ran up again. The maid first looked at me with a blushing face, and obviously had a request to renew her relationship, and then reported, "Two ladies, the master is coming."
The master is coming, obviously he can't wait too much. Bing'er and Yu'er are wise in a hurry, and Xiaoyi doesn't have time to put on her, so she takes off her coat and gets into the quilt, pulling on the embroidered tent on the bed to pretend to have lunch break. Just as she settled on the bed, the sound of the official boots going upstairs came from the stairs below.
Jin Gui was very satisfied these days. His two daughters and Lord Qianhu Wang of Jinyiwei have lived together. Although they have not married, their daughter is already his own. They are as close as possible on weekdays. Can this son-in-law still run away? When he walks at the Guishan Station in Nanjing on weekdays, Jingui's waist is much straightened. Now he has already taken the towering tree of Lord Qianhu Wang of Jinyiwei, and promotion is just around the corner. Jingui returned to the mansion for dinner at noon today. Seeing that no one was guarding the gate, Jingui cursed in his heart, it is amazing. He is immediately Mr. Jin, and the family has lost all the rules. Mr. Jin rushed into the yard with a roar in his heart. Rules and rules.
Master Jingui, who rushed into the yard, found that except for his future son-in-law, Lord Wang and two daughters, the remaining concubines and servants surrounded the yard. 'What's going on? Why are they all here? Go and do whatever they should do. They all scattered me.'
The law does not blame everyone. Since everyone is here, Jingui cannot denounce everyone. After the villagers dispersed, only Jingui's thirteen concubines and the close maids of these concubines were left. The large boxes on the ground and the glass vases held by several concubines also fell into Jingui's eyes. The business of Japanese whale houses has been very prosperous in recent years. Jingui has seen glassware in it, but if Jingui's family only has Jingui's one person, Jingui can buy a vase that the money they have made in a year. However, Jingui has this family to support, and his hobby for this luxury goods should be appropriately reduced. Look at it, just buy it, "What's going on?"
The concubine was the personal maid who was dowed by Jin Gui's original wife. Such maids would become the concubine of the master if they were not unexpectedly. Since Jin Gui's original wife died of illness, as the concubine, she has taken over the greatest voice among the women in the family. When the concubine saw the master come back, she looked bad and immediately replied, "Master, this is what Mr. Wang sent me. Lord Wang also asked someone to put two glass vases on the wall and didn't know what to do. I have never seen glassware before, so I just took it to take a look."
There was no gender discrimination in the Whale House branch in China, and like Shaolin Temple, it was not allowed to enter. However, the walls of erotic palace paintings were automatically cut off the way for women to enter. Although the Whale House was painted with glassware and glassware, the Ming people who had been poisoned by thousands of years of feudal thought generally thought that it was okay for men to go to a place like Whale House. If a woman went there, it would be a rebellious thing. She should be taken to soak the pig cage and paraded on a wooden horse. No one in the family of Jingui’s friends and colleagues could afford glassware. If there was one, it was just a glass ball that children played with. It would be not new if they had never seen glassware.
‘So many?’ Jingui looked at the boxes on the ground, and it seemed that each had a vase or a set of glass plates. Jingui quickly calmed down, and his son-in-law was his son-in-law, half a son-in-law. Now Lord Jinyiwei Wang is his two son-in-law, equivalent to a biological son. Jingui sighed that it would be great if he had another daughter, and he would have surpassed Lord Jinyiwei Qianhu Wang's biological father. ‘Let them all go back to the house first, there is no rules at all. Rules, rules. Notify the two ladies and I want to go to the embroidery building.’ After that, Master Jingui looked at the two glass vases on the wall, and the seven-color light flashed in the noon sun. It was just because this was what Lord Jinyiwei Qianhu Wang asked someone to put on, Jingui would not dare to move. Otherwise, he would have carried it down to see what was going on.
Normal communication is necessary. Isn’t it necessary to have needle holes that disturb the daughters and son-in-law? But the maid who went to the communication entered the back garden a few steps, and Jin Gui, who was unable to wait to find out, hurriedly chased after him.
After Jin Gui went to the embroidery building, he didn't see his daughter, but his son-in-law Wang was still there. That's fine. Seeing that there seemed to be someone in the embroidery tent on the bed, Jin Gui felt secretly proud. It was indeed a newlywed couple, and he couldn't bear to let go of this time at noon. It was really like a tangle. Jin Gui couldn't help but remember the time when he got married. It seemed like the same. He didn't want to get out of bed with his wife and his current concubine. The three of them died in the gentle place. But this is good. His two daughters were able to stick to Mr. Wang, which shows that his daughter was charming, and Mr. Wang liked it very much.
Jin Gui got into the house, regardless of the fact that he was not only his future son-in-law, but also a teenager younger than him. Jin Gui bowed to the ground, "Mr. Wang, I have had a good rest these days. I am humble to pay my respects to Lord Wang."
I wanted to say that except for busy days and nights, everything was fine. But the words turned to the mouth, ‘Okay, okay, all are fine.’
Jin Gui breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, 'That's good, that's good.' After Jin Gui finished talking nonsense, he said to the point, 'The glassware outside was transported by Lord Wang.'
‘Ahhh. Yes. That is a glassware shop run by a friend of mine, Musashi Kojiro. I have some shares in it, but these glassware are all defective products. You also know that the wind and waves along the way in Shanghai may be swallowed by the waves, and the glassware will inevitably be damaged. According to the rules, these damaged glassware cannot be placed on the shelves. I use these damaged glassware as a target to shoot.’ In order to prove that my words are more convincing, I picked up the slingshot left by Binger Yu'er on the table, and sent several pills to break the two glass vases on the wall.
‘Mr. Wang has good kung fu and good eyesight.’ While praising him, Jin Gui looked at the broken glass vase fragments on the wall and felt his heart bleeding. Although Jin Gui didn’t look at these vases carefully, he could still see whether there were any major flaws. At least Jin Gui didn’t see them. In other words, even if there is a little bit, it was harmless. The broken one just now was not glass, but white silver.
‘Overall, average, I’m a little unfamiliar with my hands.’ Five shots of glass balls only hit two targets twenty meters away. The result is very poor. If you use a foreign gun, I guarantee that you can shoot one at this distance. After all, shooting is not the same as slingshots, otherwise shooting masters will be masters of bows and arrows.
Jin Gui was afraid that I would continue to fight and quickly said, "Didn't Lord Wang advise me to do some small business a few days ago? Now I finally remember what business I want to do."
‘Oh, it’s rare, Lord Taishan, you, Ma Wen, finally got to think about it?’
‘Yes, yes,’ Jin Gui replied, ‘Since Lord Wang can get these glassware for free, it’s better for me and Lord Wang to join forces to deal with this glassware. Then we will get the account.’
‘But this glassware is a broken defective product. What should I do if my reputation is damaged?’
Jin Gui said, "It doesn't matter, Lord Wang. This glassware is too expensive, but ordinary people cannot afford it. Then we will say that it has a little flaw and then sell it cheaper." Jin Gui is well aware of the bad nature of the people in the country, which is comparison. If a person has an appreciation utensil at home, his colleagues, relatives, friends and neighbors around him will try their best to get a similar or better one and put it at home. Otherwise, if you don't need others, you will just put yourself in your own hands.
I have been bent on my face. I can be hungry, but I must not bow my head to others when it comes to the store. This is why Jingui, as a post station, has almost half-tied his head and has to marry more than a dozen concubines. He knows that he can't satisfy these concubines, but he still wants to marry them home, because the minor officials of this level in Jinling City all have more than a dozen concubines, which is purely fighting spirit. However, now Jingui sees the benefits of this kind of fighting spirit comparison, which is that he can bring him a lot of money.
