Chapter 1290 I am a pervert
When Shen Zheng found Mu Ruojue, he was huddled in his study fiddling with the balloons from yesterday.
The balloon, deflated and lying limply on the table, looked ordinary, but it was his one and only treasure.
He is very grateful to his past self from two months ago.
I'm grateful that I mustered the courage to board the boat back to Tongan County instead of turning around and running away.
It was precisely because of this that he was able to meet Lady Shen, follow her as she handled these novel objects, and see a more expansive world that he had never seen before, dared not even imagine.
"Please have a seat." He brought a stool for Shen Zheng.
Shen Zheng sat down and looked at the balloons on the table, saying, "Xiao Mu, what do you think of rubber? Besides making balloons, what other uses does it have?"
Mu Ruojue was momentarily dazed upon hearing this.
So this is what it feels like to be tested by your elders?
I'm a little nervous and apprehensive, but I don't dislike it.
After a moment of silence, he slowly stood up: "Lord Shen, I believe that rubber... can also be made into boats, which can be used in fishing boats, cargo ships, and docks."
After he finished speaking, he quietly raised his eyes and studied Shen Zheng's expression.
Seeing Shen Zheng's lips curl into a slight smile, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Not bad." Shen Zheng nodded with a smile and asked, "Is there anything else?"
Mu Ruojue became nervous again.
besides......
His ears turned bright red in a moment of embarrassment, and he became even more eye-catching than the peach blossoms on the branches in spring.
Shen Zheng silently looked away.
This kid is really good-looking.
If Cui Jinyin were to see this scene, she would probably drool.
"Don't rush," Shen Zheng comforted her, "Think about it slowly."
The softer she spoke, the more nervous Mu Ruojue became.
Half a cup of tea later, the redness on the tips of his ears had spread to his neck, and even the corners of his eyes were wet.
"..." Shen Zheng suddenly felt like a wicked woman who was beyond redemption.
"Don't rush." Having never seen anything like this before, she couldn't help but take out the drawings from her arms: "These are some of my ideas, you can take a look."
Mu Ruojue's furrowed brows gradually relaxed, and her jade-like fingertips took the paper from Shen Zheng's hand.
As the pages unfolded, one novel idea after another jumped into his mind.
Piston gasket?
Is the carriage shock absorber in place?
tire?
bike?
Looking at these three characters, Mu Ruojue couldn't help but ask, "Lord Shen, when the word '行' is used here, does it mean the '行' in '行差踏错' (walking incorrectly), or the '行' in '字里行间' (between the lines)?"
Shen Zheng felt that the question was somewhat familiar, as if someone had asked her this question before.
After a pause, she said, "The 'xing' in 'xingche' (行行) refers to a vehicle that can move on its own, called a bicycle. There are blueprints attached. Would you like to try it out? I also have fifty pounds of rubber."
Mu Ruojue was stunned.
Fifty pounds of rubber?
Yesterday, he wouldn't have dared to even think about it.
This feeling was like a fledgling crane entering the clouds, or a winter plum blossom encountering the warm spring sun, which made him happy, yet also left him at a loss.
"Xiao Mu, are you willing?" Shen Zheng asked again.
Seeing the trust in her eyes, Mu Ruojue finally nodded: "Lord Shen, I am willing."
Shen Zheng laughed.
They conscripted another man.
Today was such a pleasant day.
"I'll have someone bring the rubber over. Anyway... don't feel pressured, don't be too hard on yourself." She patted Mu Ruojue on the shoulder, got up and left.
Mu Ruojue stood there, watching her figure disappear outside the door.
Sunlight streamed into the study, and he reached out to catch a sliver of it.
Autumn in Tongan County doesn't seem desolate at all.
......
As soon as Shen Zheng stepped out of the courtyard, she bumped into Cui Jinyin and her group, who were acting suspiciously.
Cui Jinyin came forward, her eyes constantly glancing through the crack in the door: "Teacher... what did you say to Young Master Mu?"
In Shen Zheng's eyes, Cui Jinyin's face clearly displayed four words: "I am a pervert."
Shen Zheng pressed down on the courtyard gate with one hand, as if to push it open: "Why don't you just go and ask Xiao Mu?"
Cui Jinyin glared and waved her hand, "No, no, no, no, please don't push us away. We came to see you, so we won't disturb Young Master Mu any longer..."
Xin Ji sneered from the side: "Your eyeballs are practically falling into people's yards."
Cui Jinyin grinned: "What business is it of yours, an outsider!"
Seeing the two start arguing again, Shen Zheng shook her head inwardly and turned to walk towards her own courtyard.
A moment later, Cui Jinyin spoke a few words to Mu Ruojue under the pretext of "delivering rubber," and she was extremely satisfied.
"Lust blinds the mind!" After leaving the courtyard, Xin Ji made no attempt to hide her contempt: "If you like him so much, why don't you stay and help him?"
Cui Jinyin was very self-aware: "If I stayed, it would be causing trouble, not helping. Also, as an outsider, I just think Young Master Mu is good-looking and I like to look at him, but it's not that kind of liking. Please don't talk nonsense!"
Xin Ji pouted.
Is there a difference between "this kind" of liking and "that kind" of liking?
Women are such a hassle.
The two bickered all the way as they followed Shen Zheng out of the county government office.
Half an hour later, they were panting heavily. Xin Ji looked at the two-zhang-high brick wall in front of him and listened to the thunderous shouts from inside. He belatedly realized, "Lord Shen, where have you brought me?"
Shen Zheng raised her hand and pointed to the red flag on the wall.
The two characters “Tongan” fluttered in the wind.
Xin Ji immediately realized what was happening, his eyes lighting up: "Tong'an training ground? Those hundreds of elite soldiers... are they all inside now?"
The reputation of the soldiers from Tongan County had long been known throughout the surrounding prefectures!
He also heard that these soldiers were personally trained by the commander of the Imperial Guard, and their combat capabilities were far superior to those of ordinary soldiers!
As the saying goes, seeing is believing! Today, he's going to take a good look and see just how formidable these soldiers from Tong'an County really are!
"Let's go in quickly!" he urged.
Shen Zheng sized him up: "Once inside, you must not cause any trouble."
Xin Ji froze: "You really... what kind of person do you think I am?"
Causing trouble everywhere is something only fighting cocks do; he's not a fighting cock.
Shen Zheng smiled: "I still remember how arrogant and domineering you were when we first met at Liuyang Post Station."
Xin Ji was embarrassed and swore to the heavens that he would be careful with his words and actions after being taken in.
The heavy, sturdy hardwood gate of the training ground was flanked by two county soldiers who were only sixteen or seventeen years old, yet their faces showed no trace of childishness.
Upon seeing Shen Zheng, their eyes lit up, and they immediately straightened up, calling out loudly, "My lord!"
Shen Zheng nodded, and after standing still, asked them, "Have you been adjusting well since you came to the county?"
Upon hearing this, the four of them became excited and started talking all at once.
"adapt!"
"Sir! We have meat to eat every day!"
"Sir! The quilt is very soft!"
"Sir! The cloth shop has sent us new clothes, which we wear every day!"
"My lord! After the daily drills, Mr. Wei from the county school comes to teach us to read. I already know almost a hundred characters!"
"Sir! We helped the people harvest rice a while ago! They insisted on treating us to a meal, but we refused! The boss said we can't take a single needle or thread from the people!"
"grown ups......"
