Eunuchs who traveled through the Qing Dynasty

"You are the slave! Little girl, call me husband!"

"Husband~~!"

"Well, that's about the same."

"Husband, I... still want to..."

"Ah, help!"

……

Seeing that a fierce battle was about to start again, there was a burst of people shouting and screaming outside the window, mixed with the cries of women and children.Both of them were stunned, glanced at each other, and Xiao Ran yelled suddenly: "Fuck it, you can't be a bandit again!"

Shocked, the two put on their clothes indiscriminately.Suddenly there was a knock on the door, and an old lady's voice shouted anxiously: "Little benefactor, little benefactor! Quick, run for your life, the officers and soldiers are here!"

Xiao Ran and Ning Xin breathed a sigh of relief when they heard the words "officer and soldier". They were both surprised and happy.Quickly put on clothes, went out to have a look, the owner's house was in a hurry to go to the room, and shouted: "You two run away quickly, the officers and soldiers are robbing people and things there!"

Just as he was talking, the chai gate was knocked down by a bang, and a group of officers and soldiers rushed in, shouting in a chaotic voice: "Damn it, hurry up and get something to eat for the military master! It's half a little late, the military master set fire to your house!" The village!... Hey, you... ah, princess!!!"

Xiao Ranning Xin took a look, this group of officers and soldiers turned out to be none other than the Tiger Gun Battalion.It turned out that after the avalanche yesterday, Sheng Zuo and the others couldn't find any trace of the two of them, so they could only circle around in the mountains.Fortunately, they carried fire medium on them and lit a bonfire, so they didn't freeze to death at last.But tossing in the wind and snow for a whole night, and being hungry, it is really enough to suffer.Just after dawn, they also happened to be transferred to this village, and immediately broke into the villagers' homes to grab food.

This group of soldiers recognized the princess and shouted excitedly. After a while, Sheng Zuo also rushed over after hearing the sound.Seeing Ning Xin, she knelt down on the ground, unable to say a word, tears streaming down her cheeks.The soldiers under him also knelt down on the ground. For them, finding the princess was their fate.The princess mainly has three advantages and two disadvantages. Aren't these more than 200 people all buried with her?

Only then did the people in the village realize that this flowery little girl turned out to be a princess, and they were both surprised and delighted.Seeing Ning Xin, the officers and soldiers naturally did not dare to plunder the people anymore. Out of gratitude to Xiao Ran and Ning Xin, the villagers spontaneously cooked hot meals to entertain the officers and soldiers.

The old lady of the house didn't understand etiquette either, she just pulled Ning Xin's hand excitedly, looked left and right, and said incessantly: "Tsk tsk, so you are a princess, no wonder you are so handsome like a fairy." Then she pulled Xiao Ran again Said: "Then you are probably a son-in-law?"

Xiao Ran was shocked.In fact, what he is passing on now is still the eunuch's rough blue cotton robe, but the warm hat on his head is gone. The people in the mountain village have little experience, and they have never recognized him as an eunuch.Xiao Ran suddenly remembered something, he dragged the old lady of the house owner into the room, gave her a little gold locket, and asked her for the quilt.Ning Xin understood at a glance, and couldn't help but blush.Of course, this was because of the lingering affair last night, on which she had left some criminal evidence, if it got out, it would be a serious matter.

Over there, Sheng Zuo and the others were full and full of energy, and forgot about their exhaustion, they surrounded the princess on the road against the wind and snow.Sheng Zuo pulled Xiao Ran back, and secretly said: "The more than 200 of us are all thanks to you, Eunuch Xiao. This life-saving grace, Sheng Zuo must be engraved in the five. In the future, but the father-in-law has something to do, Sheng Zuo is willing to be smashed to pieces, Do not hesitate to die!"

Xiao Ran saw that he was also a straight-hearted man, so he was not polite, and changed his name to "big brother".Sheng Zuo was overjoyed, and the conversation with him along the way was very speculative.Especially after hearing about their experience last night, and also catching a bear, they were speechless for a long time in surprise, and cast their eyes on the ground in admiration.

Passing the cliff of the avalanche, climbed to the mountainside to see, the bear was finally dead this time, his body was already frozen.The soldiers cut down tree trunks to make crowbars, lifted the huge thing out of the cracks in the rocks, and slid it down the mountain.Then he made a simple sled with branches, and returned triumphantly with the prey.

When he was about to leave the mountain, he met Mei Liangfu's personal guards again. It turned out that Xianfeng was furious because of the disappearance of the nine princesses, and had already sent five or six teams into the mountain to search.Mei Liangfu was overjoyed to see that Ning Xin was unscathed, and set off the cannon to notify the other search teams.After a while, people and horses gathered together and returned to the palace in a mighty way.When Xianfeng saw Ning Xin, he was so happy that he almost jumped up, he must be reprimanded, but his heart was full of joy.

According to the bet, Ning Xin was granted the title of Princess Gu Lun; and Xiao Ran once again made a contribution to saving her family, and was reinstated as an official, but she still returned to the position of the fifth rank's deputy chief executive.

→Chapter 039 - Sexual harassment and by-products←

There's been a lot of good news these days.

The first thing is that Dai Tong purchased a lot of chemicals, as well as flasks, test tubes, reaction boxes and other equipment.With these things, the research and development of western medicine can finally proceed smoothly.Rolto was a natural chemical madman. He almost went crazy when he saw these treasures. He locked himself in the house for several days. Except for eating, sleeping and going to the toilet, the rest of the time was completely occupied by endless chemical experiments.

Xiao Ran originally planned to ask Bao Lu to be his assistant, taking the opportunity to learn from him.After all, it is safer to keep technology in your own hands.It's a pity that Baolu is smart enough, but he is not interested in chemistry and pharmacy. After working as an assistant for three days, he didn't remember anything and didn't say anything. Come.Although nothing was burned, it turned Rorto into a pig's head, and his beloved yellow hair was burned like a dog.After that, Rorto trembled every time he saw Baolu, and dreamed of biting him, let alone teaching him.

The second thing is that Dai Tong made a major breakthrough in his firearms research.Now Prince Gong, as the Minister of Plenipotentiary, is in charge of Jingwu. Although he is obsessed with power struggles, he still supports the research and development of firearms.Especially after such a commotion by the British and French allied forces, they also realized the importance of advanced weapons.Therefore, although the economy is tight, the allocation to the Ministry of Industry is several times more than that of Xianfeng.And in terms of various policies, he gave Dai Tong the green light all the way, and he needed people to contribute, and he needed to contribute.

With such a strong backing, Dai Tong's inventive talent was fully utilized, drawing on the flowering bombs of the Ming Dynasty, and developed the first breech-mounted bombardment cannon (a type of cannon) with independent intellectual property rights in the Qing Dynasty.At the same time, the multi-barreled machine gun was improved. Although the power was slightly weakened, the weight was reduced to 62 catties, which greatly improved the mobility on the battlefield.As for landmines, through the improvement of the casting process, more than forty pieces of shrapnel can be formed after the explosion.Within the effective killing radius, it can be said that even flies don't even think about flying over.

The third thing is that the Anxiang Women's Club has a good harvest.Yu Lai has been alone in the capital for a while, and has really made a lot of noise.Xiao Ran's business talent no less than that of Xiao Ran was finally revealed. In the second month of opening, the number of members has grown to more than 500, and the price of the membership card has been soaring all the way. It caused a wave of beauty craze among the rich ladies and concubines in the capital. .

When Xiao Ran won the Xianfeng imperial approval, he was only worried about any troubles in the future, and didn't think about other aspects.The boom in the beauty salon business has stimulated more businessmen to intervene, including Mingxiang Pavilion, Saoxiang Pavilion, Yinxiang Pavilion and other beauty salons have sprung up one after another, which has caused a great impact on Anxiang.But the clever Yulai immediately put out the gold-lettered signboard of "Secret Recipe of the Palace", and at the same time made a big fuss in the imperial approval, indicating that the Royal Designated Beauty Club.In this way, the overwhelming hype of other merchants has turned into making wedding dresses for Anxiang, which not only saves a lot of publicity costs, but also increases their turnover.In just over a month, the guild hall figured out various costs and expenses, and made a net profit of more than [-] taels of silver!

It is said that the first words that rich wives in the capital meet when they meet are: Are you "sweet" today?

Because the business in the capital was too busy, Yu Lai was delayed for a few days before arriving in Chengde.After meeting with Xiao Ran, he talked about the situation there, and then said that the current scale of operation has seriously restricted the development of the business, and suggested opening a branch as soon as possible.Xiao Ran had known for a long time that he was born to do business, but he didn't expect this brother-in-law who was born as an apprentice to be so advanced in consciousness, so he praised him a lot.Then he said: "It seems that the matter of the branch store has to be put on hold now, and you should bring a man to the beauty salon as soon as possible, and let him take over your position to take care of the business over there."

"Ah?" Yu Lai was obviously taken aback, "Brother Xiao, don't worry about Yu Lai's straightforward words. Is it because you are worried about me, or what happened to you and my sister?"

Xiao Ran was taken aback for a while, and it took him a long time to understand what he meant, and angrily slapped him violently: "Stinky boy, what are you talking about? Anyway, you are my brother-in-law, who should I worry about if I don't worry about you? I want to I have pulled you out to do a big business. The money here cannot be earned by ten or hundreds of beauty salons."

When Yu Lai heard this, his forehead was red with excitement, and his eyes were round: "What kind of business? Is it really so profitable?"

Xiao Ran told him about opening a chain of health care products, Yu Lai opened his mouth wide in surprise, and couldn't retract his tongue for a long time.After a long time, he said: "I've never heard of a joint venture with the emperor. Is it really possible? Besides, I don't know a lot of Chinese characters. If it's small and small, it's okay. Open a national chain, I'm afraid I can't do it." .”

"What are you afraid of? I'm the emperor's supporter. You don't have to worry about policies. Just do business with peace of mind. Speaking of opening a store, you are much better than me. As for being illiterate, hurry up." Learn, with your intelligence, you will definitely learn it soon."

"...Okay!" After thinking for a long time, Yu Lai slapped his thigh and said, "Since Brother Xiao... no, since you can trust me, brother-in-law, then I will go all out and do it. To tell the truth, brother-in-law, I am already learning I have learned how to read and hired a teacher from a private school, and I can write down the Three Character Classic and the hundred surnames."

"Good boy, promising!" Xiao Ran patted him on the shoulder, feeling satisfied from the bottom of his heart.Given time, it's not impossible for this guy to become a business genius like Chen Liuzi.

"Well, brother-in-law," Yu Lai scratched his head, hesitatingly said, "I'm asking you something, don't be offended."

"Ask, why are you being polite to me?"

"Did you... marry a... little wife?"

"?" Xiao Ran was taken aback, "Have you met your sister?"

"Not yet, but when I arrived at the mansion, I saw Sister Xueyao. Are you with her, also..."

"Well, what do you say..."

"Brother-in-law, it's actually nothing. It's normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines. But my sister told me that she has a heart for you. I don't ask you for anything else, just I hope that after you marry your little wife, don't forget my sister."

"Ah, that's it!" Xiao Ran let out a sigh of relief.I was very moved in my heart: what a good brother-in-law, how enlightened!Who said that feudal ideas are dross and poisonous, it seems that there are also very good things!Immediately, he said brazenly: "Don't worry, your sister and I are also considered wretched wives. I, Xiao Ran, would rather betray anyone in my life than your sister!"

After hearing this, Yu Lai laughed out loud.But after thinking about it, he said uneasy: "Also, since you are the original spouse, no matter how many wives you marry in the future, you must let my sister be the big one and be the real Mrs. Xiao, right?"

"..." Xiao Ran stared at Yulai for a long time, and said suspiciously: "You and your sister really haven't met?"

In the evening, Xiao Ran went to the Queen's place to ask for leave for Yu Ting, and asked her to meet Yu Lai for a talk.The siblings don't have any other relatives anymore. Thinking back to the time when they fled together and came to Beijing together, they really went through hardships, and now they are finally settled. They are both happy and emotional, and they can't help crying.Xueyao watched from the side, and suddenly burst into tears, which was even more violent than the two of them, and she couldn't be persuaded.

It turned out that Xueyao's hometown was in Tai'an, Shandong Province, and she was considered a wealthy family who had been doing business for generations.After the first Opium War, the country's gates were wide open, and foreign pirates ran rampant in China's territorial waters, burning, killing, looting, and committing all kinds of crimes.Eight years ago, his father, Lu Shenzhi, took a boat from Guangzhou to buy goods. On the way back, he encountered pirates and was brutally killed.Her mother, Lu Yushi, was so beautiful that she was taken over by her clan uncle who had coveted her for a long time.Unbearable to be insulted, Lu soon hanged himself.Unexpectedly, the villain still refused to give up, and set his sights on Xiao Xueyao, who was only nine years old. Fortunately, a relative entrusted her to be sent to Beijing, so she escaped the clutches of the devil.

At this time, seeing Yuting's sister and brother crying sadly, thinking of her own life experience, she couldn't help feeling sad.It was the first time for Xiao Ran to hear about this, and he almost exploded with anger. He couldn't imagine that there is such a beast in the world!After finally persuading her to stop her tears, but still looking sullen, he took her for a walk in the garden to relax.

I was walking to the rockery, but I saw something flashing on the rock.When the two of them took a closer look, they found it was a white and fluffy rabbit, which both felt strange.I asked the servants to ask, and it turned out that the foreigner Rolto bought it, saying it was for experiments.Xiao Ran immediately understood, and sent his servants to send it back to Luo Erto.But seeing Xueyao holding the little white rabbit in her arms, she liked it very much, so she said: "Don't you feel bored, just let's go to that foreign devil to send this little white rabbit, and let's relax by the way."

The two went to the garden in the southwest corner and came to Rolto's laboratory.This foreign devil had also been in the high society in England before, and he was a little bit of aristocratic arrogance. When he saw Xiao Ran, he just nodded and said hello, and continued with the experiment in hand.Xiao Ran didn't want to disturb him either, and was about to take Xueyao away, but found that her eyes were shining brightly at the experimental bottles.Unconsciously smiled: "Why do you like this chemical experiment?"

It is true that each person has one hobby, and Xueyao has been fascinated by this chemical experiment.Watching Rolto act like a juggler, pouring the medicine into this bottle for a while, pouring it into that bottle for a while, and burning it on the alcohol lamp from time to time.The liquid in the bottle also turns red for a while, and turns blue for a while, which is really interesting.In the end, crystals miraculously precipitated out of the blue transparent and pure liquid. I felt that this thing was too miraculous, and refused to leave. It took more than half an hour to see it.

Seeing her obsessed look, Xiao Ran suddenly felt something in his heart: Since Baolu is not interested in this thing, why not let Xueyao try it?And she can read and write, so she can learn it with half the effort.Immediately, I told Xueyao what I thought.

Xueyao was so excited that she almost jumped up, her pretty face flushed red, she grabbed his hand and said, "Really? I can really do it?" After being happy for a while, she suddenly said with a depressed face: "Don't Make me happy. I have already followed you, how can I be an assistant to this foreign devil again? Wouldn't that be disobedient? How can I see people in the future!"

Xiao Ran was annoyed and funny, thinking that this era is really true, the implementation of the Three Obediences and Four Virtues is better than the central documents.So she patiently enlightened her for a long time, telling her that she was just helping him to do some miscellaneous work and keep records, nothing would happen.Finally said: "The key for you to follow him is to learn from him, and we can do research on our own later. Besides, this foreign devil is so ugly, I don't trust you, don't I trust him?"

When Xueyao heard this, she happily agreed.Xiao Ran told Rolto again what he meant.Luo Erto still remembered that day when Xueyao scolded him for being ugly, he was hesitant, but seeing Xiao Ran's face, it was not easy to refuse.

So from the next day, Xueyao acted as Rolto's assistant.To say that Xueyao really has talent in this area, she has a thorough understanding of chemistry, and she can grasp the names and properties of various medicines very quickly.In a few days, I can already do some simple experiments by myself.The key is that she can read and write, and she will never make such low-level mistakes as Baolu.This made Rorto very happy, and he taught this clever, lively and pretty little girl very carefully.What came and went, gradually turned into a kind of appreciation; after a long time of appreciation, it naturally turned into admiration.

The old saying goes well: When you are full and warm, you think about lust.Since this foreign devil came to China, he hadn't lived a peaceful life for a few days. Now that he was full of food and warm clothes at Xiao Ran's residence, he couldn't help but be moved.If I don't see Xueyao for a day, I feel as uncomfortable as a cat scratching. I can't sleep at night, thinking of Xueyao's pretty appearance, I just sit there in a daze for most of the night.
