Through the vast fields, Shen Zhezi and his party finally approached Zhujia Manor.

Shen Zhezi was a little curious about the Zhu family's house building on the slope.

Nowadays, people pay attention to the beauty of the circle and the environment for their residence is extremely demanding. They can get green mountains as screens, green water surround the walls, and the dark green ink is sprinkled from a distance, and listen to the natural sound of flowing water at the nearest. This is the most basic environmental pursuit.

Shen Zhezi also saw some residences of the owners of Wudi Manors, most of which were elegant and elegant. Like the Zhu family, they did not consider the convenience of entering and leaving and did not care about the beauty of the circumference, and they were rare to find houses on high slopes.

When he got closer, Shen Zhezi discovered the reason. There was indeed a small river flowing around the slope, but a dam was built at the bend, cutting off the small river's laziness. So the water level upstream was raised. Although there were canals diversion, once the rain continued, it would cause flooding and flooding.

Therefore, the Zhujia Manor is located on a high slope, so that it can avoid hidden dangers of flooding. As for why we need to block the river and build a dam, and you will understand it by looking at the water mills and rolling leaves in the lower reaches of the river.

The biggest function of a water mill is to pound rice and remove the crust and remove the bran. There are many processes required to turn rice into white and moist rice grains, among which pounding rice is the most important one. If it is done by man alone, labor loss is extremely large and very inefficient. However, with a water mill, as long as there is the impact of water flow, it can be processed day and night.

Shen Zhezi was not in a hurry to go to Zhujia Manor and stopped under the dam to watch the work of the water mill for a while. He was quite interested in this hydraulic machinery in ancient agricultural production. Before the diesel engines were used as power in later generations, water mills were one of the most important production machinery!

In the "Fu of Yiju" of Pan Yue of the Western Jin Dynasty, there is a sentence "Minding tax is enough to replace farming". The so-called pounding tax means using water mills to process rice. It can be seen that the utilization of water power has become an industry comparable to farming in this era. When Wei, Shu and Wu confront each other in the Three Kingdoms, water mills even rose to an extremely important strategic position, which directly affected the increase and decline of national strength!

The water mill built by the Zhu family was a machine mill built by Du Yu of the Western Jin Dynasty. Using a large water wheel to drive several water mills, the greater the water force needed. Therefore, dams are built and the water level is raised by manipulating the impact force to drive the water mills, so the better living environment is given up. It is just a river and dam. If you really encounter floods, there will be more than one person involved in the disaster.

From this point, Shen Zhezi saw Zhu Gong's pragmatic personality. To put it more simply, it means that he recognizes money but not people, and is pragmatic. So Shen Zhezi also understood why Zhu Gong wanted to take advantage of his family. No wonder his father called him a "stingy husband". What kind of family friendship to talk about with such people is also playing the piano for a cow.

After getting on the ox cart again, Shen Zhezi went straight to outside the Zhu family manor and sent someone to a greeting. Not long after, someone in the manor came out and said, "My master left home to visit the guest, and the mistress asked the little husband to meet in the inner house."

Hearing this, Shen Zhezi was a little disappointed. He mainly revealed in front of Zhu Gong that his family had bought food. But since he had arrived in front of his house, he always had to pay a visit to his aunt he had never met before.

Let the others rest in the vestibule, Shen Zhezi brought two servants and entered the inner house with the Zhu family. Not long after he walked, he saw a rich lady falling from her head and standing in front of the courtyard and smiling at her among the guards of several maids.

"Zhezi, you really make you laugh. I didn't want to make your family ugly in front of you, but I don't know who the sluts are the master of the room!"

Shen Zhezi originally wanted to persuade his aunt, but after hearing this, he vaguely understood that he had seen the scene of fighting in the deep-climbed family. Perhaps the maid who was punished had another backer behind him. This was a skill he had never lit up, so he fell silent, but his expression was a little embarrassed.

After about half a quarter of an hour, there was a noise outside the door. Shen Zhezi looked over and saw a woman in a chic dress walking in a chariot. The woman looked charming and always had a touch of smile on her lips. Seeing this, Shen Zhezi knew that the other party who was fighting in the family was on the stage.

It was not until the door that the chariot was put down. The woman stood up and walked into the hall with the help of the maid. She looked at the maid who was moaning in the corridor, then turned to Shen, who was already gray, and smiled and said, "Why is the maid so irritable? If that maid really offends you, it's just like digging the soil and burying it. Why do you need to be noisy and uneasy in the house and disturb people's dreams?"

"Cai E, my nephew comes to the door today, I don't want to make a fuss with you. That slut is inside my door. I have my own opinions on whether to kill or punish me. You don't need to let me in!" Shen glanced at the woman, and his expression was even more cold and disgusting.

"No wonder the mistress was particularly energetic today. It turned out that the person from my mother's family had aroused her courage."

The woman covered her mouth and smiled softly, and looked at Shen Zhezi sitting on the side with a charming look. A trace of contempt flashed in her eyes, and then she sneered: "But I heard that the bamboo-striped frame of the Wuxing Shen family is empty. I just don't know if the mistress's aura can hold on until the New Year?"

Bang!

Seeing his aunt's figure flying, Shen Zhezi heard a clear slap in the face. When he saw the woman Cai E again, he had already covered her face and stepped back with disbelief. Seeing this scene, Shen Zhezi couldn't help but sigh that her aunt was indeed worthy of being a powerful Wuzong. Although she was pampered, she was still agile.

"You slut, you are worthy of despising my mother's house! If you don't retreat, I will bury you alive today!"

Shen's slutty halberd pointed at the other party. What else did Cai E want to say, but after all, she was weakened and was helped to the chariot and left in a hurry. Before leaving, she spat at the doorbar: "Look at how long can you still be evil?"

When Shen Zhezi saw this scene, his brows frowned slightly. He saw that although his aunt was not weak, even a concubine dared to humiliate her and take advantage of her. It seemed that her aunt was in a situation in the Zhu family, which was worse than she thought.

After forcing Cai E to leave, Shen shook his body weakly, turned to Shen Zhezi and waited to speak, but couldn't help but shed tears: "Zhezi, my aunt is really despicable in front of you today... Zhu Gong is evil in nature, he was originally a concubine of Zhu's last son, and he depends on my family to support him to have today's situation. It's just a matter of favoring concubines and destroying his wife. I knew that my family was in trouble, so I had to suck my grace blood, and it was no different from beasts..."

Shen Zhezi was also a family member of his mother's family. Seeing that his aunt was so sad, he felt unbearable and could not sit idly by. He walked up and comforted Shen and said, "Miss of the Shen family, it is a treasure for anyone! Aunt, why should you feel wronged? Go back to Wuxing with me. If Zhu Gong doesn't give a satisfactory explanation, he will not be able to let him have peace one day!"

As soon as he finished speaking, another yelling scream outside the door: "Where is that evil woman? I left home for a moment, how dare I kill my lover? Today I will kill you with a stick. What can Shen Shiju do to me!"
