Xiaoyao Xiaojunhou

Chapter 32 Make trouble
"Make five frames, three long and two short, and then join them together with mortise and tenon joints according to the pattern I drew..."

Zhu Xiuyuan acted like a "gentleman", speaking but not doing anything.

And those two carpenters were "villains" who could not speak but did not speak.

In addition, there are three spectators——

Dong Shuzhen, Xia Wu, and Qiu Wen are the three masters and servants.

Whenever Zhu Xiuyuan spoke, Dong Shuzhen, the three masters and servants, all looked at him.

The color of curiosity gradually appeared in his eyes.

"Okay, uncle..." The carpenters replied as they planed the boards.

There are many types of carpenter's planes, including flat planes, double planes, single-line planes, clear-cut planes, concave planes, large-line planes, and so on.

The three masters and servants of Dong Shuzhen had never seen such a thing before, so they stared at the various planes curiously, staring at it for a while.

After the five-frame frame was completed, the carpenters followed Zhu Xiuyuan's instructions and used various chisels to carve out corresponding mortise and tenon structures on the head and tail of the five-frame frame.

Chisels come in different sizes, with different edge lengths and thicknesses. There are dozens of types...

Dong Shuzhen and his three servants saw that the carpenters were skillfully carving out the mortise and tenon structure, which was square and very beautiful in shape.

Their little mouths gradually opened wide and they stared unblinkingly.

"Madam?" Zhu Xiuyuan touched Dong Shuzhen's head and smiled.

Dong Shuzhen turned her head numbly, and Zhu Xiuyuan said again: "You are so stupid, is this?"

Dong Shuzhen smiled silly and ignored Zhu Xiuyuan's hand touching her head.

After laughing, he continued to observe the two carpenters at work.

Those two carpenters... always felt uncomfortable.

Being stared at by the second lady like this always reminds them of the feeling of being stared at by their master when they were apprentices...

This girl Xia Wu is even more weird, she not only reads, but even gets used to these tools.

Such as planes, chisels, ink fountains, etc.

She picked them up one by one and looked at them, her eyes widened.

Dong Shuzhen also leaned over, turning it over and over as if looking at a rare treasure...

The two carpenters' eyes twitched.

But... they are just carpenters, how can they dare to stop the second lady and the second lady's maid.

Therefore, the two carpenters glanced at Zhu Xiuyuan from time to time, very vaguely.

They probably want to ask my uncle to take action to discipline your wife and maid.

However, apart from making fun of Dong Shuzhen, Zhu Xiuyuan spent all his time searching for memories from his previous life——

The structure of the abacus is still relatively deep in Zhu Xiuyuan’s memory.

This is mainly due to the fact that when he was a child, the school once offered abacus classes, and for this purpose, the school also ordered abacus.

Later, in various movies and TV dramas, you can often see shopkeepers looking at the account books and fiddling with the abacus...

So there is no problem in building an abacus.

However, the formula for abacus...

I had completely forgotten about this thing.

Zhu Xiuyuan thought hard there, searching his intestines and stomach, spending countless brain cells, searching for the memories of his previous life...

Naturally, he "ignored" the hints in the eyes of the two carpenters.

"Uncle, the frame is ready. Please take a look. Is it like this?" the two carpenters asked tiredly.

"Yes, that's about it. Next, you can make these two things, thin wooden strips, and these small wooden beads." Zhu Xiuyuan came back to his senses and showed two pictures.

The two carpenters nodded immediately and began to work.

The three masters and servants Dong Shuzhen also stretched their necks and came over to look at the two pictures displayed by Zhu Xiuyuan.

Especially Qiu Wen, she was right next to Zhu Xiuyuan, so her little head came close to Zhu Xiuyuan's arms...

This stupid little maid didn't even notice!

And her little mouth moved slowly, like she was eating something, just like a rabbit's mouth.

Xia Wu's face darkened, and he grabbed her and pulled her back.

"Why are you pulling me?" Qiu Wen was still questioning Xia Wu.

"You..." Xia Wu looked at the unaware young lady and uncle, as well as the two carpenters, then leaned into Qiu Wen's ear and whispered something.

"Ah!" After hearing this, Qiu Wen seemed to have noticed what was wrong just now, and her round face turned red at a visible speed.

……

It is said that the craftsmanship of these two carpenters is indeed very exquisite. Even though the "big lightbulb" of the second lady and the troublemaker of the second lady's maid are here, they are not affected much.

Soon, dozens of small wooden sticks that were thinner than chopsticks were made.

Dong Shuzhen looked at this small wooden stick and felt nothing.

However, when the carpenter started making small, flat, tire-like wooden beads.

Dong Shuzhen's eyes immediately lit up, and she stared at the carpenter's hands...

When the first small wooden bead was finished, the carpenter placed it on the table and then worked on the next one.

However, not long after, the two carpenters' brows jumped.

They paused for a moment, then smiled helplessly and continued to work hard.

why?
Because Dong Shuzhen couldn't help but be curious, she stole the small wooden bead when no one was paying attention.

And turned sideways, turned over and over to see...

Zhu Xiuyuan really didn't notice.

And the two carpenters really noticed it.

But that was the second young lady, so they didn't dare to scold or speak.

Even pretending not to see anything...

Oh my god, it feels so uncomfortable!

The two carpenters had already heard that the second young lady was naughty and playful, and was very troublesome.

And my uncle has also been pitied by servants like them.

Hey, my aunt will take it for such a naughty lady at the booth.

However, the two carpenters disagreed with this statement.

Because according to what they saw, my uncle did not suffer, but them, and that was the real suffering!
Not long after, the two carpenters made another small wooden bead.

However, when they started to make the third one, their brows jumped again.

Because the one just now... was secretly taken away by the second lady's maid...

The two carpenters were about to cry, and glanced at Zhu Xiuyuan vaguely again.

I shouted in my heart: "Uncle, please take care of your wife and maid, we beg you..."
