No matter what Huijun said, Jiang Pengji was still "merciful" and did not take charge of the naming.
She took out a small bag of bamboo slips from her sleeve. "Take a look and see which name you like."
Huijun took it with a smile. "Did Langjun make it?"
Jiang Pengji denied, "No, he asked me to bring it over."
When Huijun heard that it was a gift from Fu Wang, the smile on her face faded a little, but her hands did not stop moving.
He untied the string of the bag and took out a few bamboo slips with a few names written on them.
After looking at it carefully, Huijun put it aside and said with slight embarrassment, "Is there a need for him to name the child?"
He caressed the bamboo piece with his fingers. The small bamboo piece was filled with densely packed words.
Just by looking at the handwriting, it was extremely difficult to associate the owner of the words with Fu Wang.
"I won't ask too much about your relationship with Zhengtu. It's fine as long as you're happy. If you think raising a child is too stressful, don't hold it in. After all, the other half of the child's bloodline was given to him by Fu Zhengtu, so it was only right and proper for him to pay for the child's upbringing. If they really don't treat them well, I'll take them in as my godsons and goddaughters. No one in this world will dare to bully them then. "
Huijun giggled. "Since that's the case, Langjun should let the child call you godmother as soon as possible."
"You're getting more and more fond of taking things out of context. When I clearly said that 'the main plan isn't good for both of them,' you ignored this premise." Jiang Pengji raised her eyebrows and said, "That wild wolf has his eyes on you every day. If I snatch his wife and children, I'm afraid he'll go on strike."
Although Fu Wang didn't say anything, he was still on guard against her.
It wasn't because she was disloyal, it was because Huijun's letters were always addressed to Jiang Pengji.
The wild wolf was both envious and resentful. The way it looked at Jiang Pengji was strange.
It was supposed to be a majestic wolf, but now it looked like a sad and pitiful husky.
"How dare he?" Huijun frowned.
Just as he finished speaking, the baby boy who was lying in the stroller let out two moans, and there was a faint sound of air being let out.
Jiang Pengji said, "It's time to change his diaper."
Huijun looked at Jiang Pengji in astonishment. She raised her hand and touched the boy's butt. Indeed, she felt a warm and soft lump.
"Tsk … He's so young, but his ability to torment people is like his father."
Huijun mumbled and took out a clean diaper from the basket under the stroller.
She did not avoid arousing suspicion and skillfully changed her boy's diaper in front of Jiang Pengji.
Although she said that she didn't like it, there was a gentle light on her face that could melt a person's heart.
After becoming a mother, Huijun was very different from before.
Jiang Pengji said, "Before I left Chongzhou, Zhengtu came to me to propose marriage."
Huijun turned her head and clicked her tongue. "Is he worthy of you?"
Jiang Pengji smiled and explained, "What are you thinking about? He thinks that you are similar to Wan 'er. Both of you are orphans, but you are close to me and treat me as half a family. He's imitating Han Mei. If he can convince me, it won't be a problem for him to marry you again. "
Huijun wiped her son's butt and put the dirty diaper into the clothes basket.
"It's not like you don't know my background … I can't even dream of living like this. How would I dare to hope for more? General Fu and I are not on the same path. I don't want to be entangled with him. " Huijun's expression was calm. She said, "I'm not belittling myself. I just like how I am now … I don't want anything else. I just hope that I can help you in the future."
Jiang Pengji looked at Huijun's face carefully. She saw that her words were from the bottom of her heart, so she did not force it.
"I just think … Zhengtu won't be so easy to get rid of."
Huijun said, "Why would I be afraid of him?"
She had used her honey trap at Jiamen Pass, but Fu Zhengtu had still been defeated.
As she spoke, Jiang Pengji noticed that there was a bookshelf in Huijun's room. There were many handwritten bamboo scrolls on the shelf.
Huijun noticed her gaze and stood up to take a few scrolls.
"Langjun is very knowledgeable. Do you have any research on these?"
Jiang Pengji opened the scroll and found that it was full of Huijun's handwriting.
There were all kinds of documents about dyeing cloth, printing and dyeing, as well as all kinds of spices and rouge.
Apart from that, Jiang Pengji also saw a drawing of a foot spinning wheel.
"I've been in the palace of Dongqing for a few years and have seen a lot. I'm wondering if I can start a business in this area to make a living. When I was in the palace, I vaguely heard someone mention that there was a small eunuch in the palace who contributed a skill that was passed down in their family. This skill can dye many bright and beautiful fabrics. I asked a few questions, and now it's coming in handy … "
Huijun was a strong-willed person. She did not want to rely on others too much, even if that person was Jiang Pengji.
Jiang Pengji smiled. "Although I don't have much research, all women love to look good. Rouge, cosmetics, fabrics, and jewelry always cost a lot. If you do business in this area and manage it seriously, you may be able to make a lot of money. I have high hopes for you. "
After saying that, she asked again, "I'm looking at the spinning wheel on the scroll. Did you draw it?"
Huijun said, "Yes, I learned a thing or two from the carpenters at the wood workshop. I heard that this drawing method was taught to them by you. "
"You're very talented … I suddenly thought of something …"
Huijun asked, "What did you think of?"
"The spinning wheel you drew, is it a foot spinning wheel?"
"Yes."
Most people used spinning pendants. A foot spinning wheel was not something ordinary people could come into contact with.
"I suddenly thought of the water wheel that Xiheng worked on previously."
Zhang Ping's water wheel contributed greatly to the prosperity of agriculture in Wanzhou. It saved a lot of manpower for irrigation.
Huijun could not keep up with Jiang Pengji's thoughts. She did not understand how the topic had changed from a foot spinning wheel to a water wheel.
Jiang Pengji said, "I'm just a little curious. If we replace manpower with water and make the foot spinning wheel work …"
Huijun: "!!!"
"Langjun's idea … is really bold …"
Huijun had never tried to link two completely unrelated things together.
"However, I think this idea is feasible."
Jiang Pengji came from the future. Even if she was not clear about the things of the ancient times, her vision and height were beyond the reach of ordinary people.
Humans had grown step by step with the help of all kinds of external forces.
If that was the case, why couldn't they use water power?
The improved water wheel could draw water from the ground to a higher place, allowing the water to flow into a tank and irrigate the farmland. It could also automatically pound rice.
If that was the case, why couldn't they use water power to replace manpower to spin?
People would get tired, but if the water did not dry up, it could continue to work, right?
After Jiang Pengji finished speaking, Huijun's eyes showed that she was deep in thought.
However, although she understood the structure of the foot spinning wheel, she did not know how to modify it.
Jiang Pengji said, "Xiheng's craftsmanship is not bad. Chongming studies water conservancy. If there's anything you don't understand, you can write a letter to Shangjing to ask them. If that doesn't work, the masters at the Golden Scale Academy are also knowledgeable people. Perhaps they can provide valuable advice? "
