Cross the doghouse to save Party A, Your Highness owes me ten mines

How dare that bastard Gu Chenglou have sex with a woman during the mourning period?

He was such a bastard! He hated it so much that he wanted to kill Gu Chenglou right now, but he was not stupid and didn't want to be beaten by Kuishan anymore, so he had to bow his head.

He got up and sat on the ground, then asked Xia Shi respectfully:

"This is clearly the armillary sphere, something that the star master has spent so much time trying to comprehend but still hasn't been able to comprehend. You're using it to bake earthen eggs..."

Xia Shi smelled the aroma of meat and sweet potatoes, and said while brushing the seasoning: "Let's say there is a possibility that it is because he is stupid?"

"You... that was something that only the Imperial Master could build back then."

"It's just similar in appearance. This grill just has more axes and can rotate 360 degrees in all directions without limit. It's still far from the armillary sphere..."

Gu Qi: “This…?”, is this so?

Xia Shi: "Mediocre people can't see through the inner world!"

The young man's words were stuck in his throat. After a while, he said, "Who do you call a mediocre person? In this world..."

Xia Shi continued to interrupt: "There are countless talented people in this world. I have traveled to several places and saw that the eaves and houses of people's houses are made very delicately. The water wheels and ditches in the fields also contain some mechanical techniques. There must be masters among the people!"

"You're talking nonsense. Are you saying that everyone in this world can be better than the astrologer at the astronomical observatory? You're insulting...ah!"

Bang! Another kick!

Gu Qi: “…”

Xia Shi: "I mean, in this world, some people have stayed in one place for too long, and have been flattered for too long, and they have become trapped in their own cocoons, weaving their own information cocoons, and they think that is the whole world!"

Gu Qi: "You, what do you mean?"

Xia Shi: “Understand it yourself!”

I said it so clearly that he didn't believe it.

A thirteen-year-old rebellious son sometimes cannot beat a seventeen-year-old obedient girl. After all, who is more rebellious at heart, and who can tell better?

"You, you are probably unrighteous... ah ah ah?"

In summer, I took down the barbecue and ate it piece by piece.

But he couldn't and didn't dare to grab it. He held his stomach with a dejected and unconvinced look on his face. He could only smell the meat and thought it was even more delicious.

"Can you give me a bite? Alas..." He was picked up and taken away by the person who came.

Lou Junze threw him in front of a table where people were burning incense and offering sacrifices.

According to Dongzhou’s rules, if a family member dies, people can eat and drink as normal during festivals, but they must offer sacrifices to allow the relatives who have not yet been reincarnated to return and reunite, and enjoy the incense and offerings from their descendants.

At this time, on the altar were placed four animals and five livestock, three plates of moon cakes, incense, candles, and paper money.

Lou Junze picked up a few incense sticks, lit them in front of the candle, and reverently inserted them into the incense burner.

He turned to Gu Qi and said, "Kneel down!"

Gu Qi: "Gu Chenglou, why don't you...ah!"

Lou Junze kicked him in the knee, and he fell to his knees.

Lou Junze said: "Follow me, one day I will chop off the prime minister's dog head and come back to offer sacrifice to our ancestors!"

Gu Qi: "Gu Chenglou, what do you mean? The Prime Minister is the father-in-law of the emperor, and the mentor of the Third Prince and me..."

Lou Junze asked: "My dear teacher, you are planning to usurp the throne? You beat the Third Brother so badly that he disappeared? Besides, what kind of uncle is he? Your father is the real uncle!"

"......" Gu Qi was speechless for a long while. He had been raised in Kyoto since he was a child. The Queen and the Crown Prince were imprisoned before he was born. Everyone in Kyoto said that the Prime Minister was the emperor's uncle. Moreover, the Prime Minister was gentle and polite, and he treated him and the Third Prince with great respect.

"...What do you mean by plotting to usurp the throne? That was the abdication edict written by the Third Prince himself. It was because you wanted to rebel and destroy the entire imperial family in Kyoto that he had no choice but to..."

With a roar, Lou Junze drew his sword and put it against Gu Qi's throat.

"..."

Lou Junze said: "Remember, the Marquis of Zhenbei has never rebelled, never had second thoughts, and has never stained a drop of Lou family blood, whether you believe it or not!"

He thrust his sword forward an inch,

Gu Qi: “Remember, remember Sixth Brother!”, inner thoughts: Those who dare to rebel are indeed ruthless people!

"kowtow!"

"Yes!"

"Repeat after me. I, Gu Anliang, swear that one day, I will chop off the Prime Minister's dog head..."

"I, Gu Anliang, swear that one day I will chop off the Prime Minister's dog head and avenge my father!"

To avenge my father,

After saying this, Gu Anliang bowed towards the north.

He thought to himself, so many people said that his father did not rebel, he wanted to know the truth.

At least, that was his father.

Even if he had abandoned him since childhood, he had been thrown into the air like a proton by him when he was still in his cradle, without caring about him.

And this Sixth Brother in front of him, this is the first time he has seen his true appearance, okay? He is different from the legend. Although he is also disfigured, it is not leprosy, but burns, and he is not thin at all. He is like a chicken cub, and he is more powerful than the imperial guards.

Who is lying?

Besides, isn't the master of the astronomical observatory the best in the world at mechanical engineering? How come he can't figure out something that even a girl can do?

...? ? ?

"Gu Chenglou, I want to stay by your side. You can't lock me up every day!"

Lou Junze looked back at him, seeing this half-grown boy with eyes full of hatred and confusion, and a fierce look like a stubborn calf.

He said, "Wait!"

"You, you have to keep your word!"

"..."

After Gu Qi left, Lou Junze stood in front of the altar for a long, long time.

……

In the afternoon, we will go to the Linshui County government office to entertain all the officials.

It is not the time to be sad every day.

That's why they stayed on the mountain for an hour and a half. Before the sun set, the group had to go down the mountain. Of course, this did not include Gu Qi, who was chased away to continue climbing the mountain. After all the trouble, he didn't get to eat the meat roasted by Xia Shi, but only got a moon cake.

Lou Junze led the group back through a shortcut. Xia Shi and Xi Yan came out of the mountain with their own barbecue tools, each carrying a bamboo basket.

I met villagers on the way and asked them: "What are you two managers doing?"

"Hunting, saving a few skins, and preparing some meat dishes for festivals!"

"What a great craftsmanship! It smells so good. What does it smell like?"

"I haven't finished the barbecue yet. Here are two skewers. Try them..."

"Oh, no wonder your workshop is becoming more and more prosperous. With your skills, you can open a restaurant. Craftsmen will never go hungry in any year."

“Haha…thank you for the compliment!”

When he returned home, he happened to see the nanny from the embroidery workshop coming out of the house. Lou Junze stood in the yard, looking at the row of ready-made clothes on the stone table.

He said to Xia Shi, "I have been sorry for hiding my identity for a while. It is only today that I can buy you some clothes. Ten sets in total. See if you like them!"

"Wow!"

(′??w??｀),

"I like it! Thank you, boss. I'll change it right away!"

"it is good!"

Xia Shi was in the house, choosing a complicated and beautiful lotus-colored dress, which matched with a sandalwood lotus-colored silk flower hairpin. She let her hair down again, combed it into a suitable hairstyle, put on the hairpin she had just got today, and pushed open the door and came out!

Everybody is not here,

Only the boss was stunned when he saw her.

I can only ask him. After wearing new clothes, I have to ask if they look good or not: "Do they look good? Boss, stop being dazed!"

"Well... it looks good. There is a banquet in the county today. The flower wine on the banquet is sweet. Why don't we go together? It will be in the evening when the banquet is over. The lanterns by the river are beautiful!"

"it is good!"

She agreed immediately.

I thought I could have a seat at the table, but I ended up being the one serving the dishes, responsible for managing a group of cooks, maids, and servants.

(?-﹏-?)

The boss kept chatting with the guests at the table.

While she was complaining about the boss's nonsense, she quietly noted down the number of empty seats and asked the waitress to serve a few fewer plates and keep them warm in the pot...

Suddenly, a shout was heard, and a guard reported: "My Lord, it's bad, General Liu had one of his legs chopped off on the way here!"
