The next day, Ma Cheng got up again rubbing his sore waist and eyes. This time he decided that he would never indulge in this lust tonight. Otherwise, he would die on Gu Xiying's belly without using a manchu braid.

On the other hand, Gu Xiying has been moisturized in the past two days and is really radiant and has a feminine charm all over her body.

Gu Xiying was wearing clothes at this time. When she saw Ma Cheng looking at him stupidly, she couldn't help but blush and asked, "Second Master, why do you look at me?"

Ma Cheng licked his face and said, "It is also a pleasure to watch beauty dressing!"

It was probably the first time in his life that someone said he was beautiful. Although he knew that Ma Cheng was comforting him, he was also very happy. After all, this was the first time that his lover praised him.

Gu Xiying blushed and said, "The Second Master will fool others with sweet words and won't tell you!" After Gu Xiying said that, she turned around and left the inner room.

Ma Cheng smiled, got up to put on his clothes. At this time, Chunlian from the tea room in the outer room came in to clean up the bedding. Ma Cheng said to Chunlian: "Chunlian, dinner will start early this morning, and Butler Ma will come to see me later."

Gu Xiying outside the door heard Ma Cheng say this and asked, "Second Master, is there anything wrong today?"

Ma Cheng nodded: "Yes, yesterday my mother promised to open a sugar-making workshop for me for 1,000 taels of silver. Today, Butler Ma wants to accompany me to buy some labor outside the city!"

Gu Xiying was very happy when she heard that she was going out. Although she was a woman, she liked to wander around in men's clothing before she married Ma Cheng. Although she had mixed oil with Ma Cheng these days, she was very depressed in the mansion. Now when Ma Cheng was about to go out, she quickly said, "Second Master, I will go with you too!"

Ma Cheng is a later generation, and there is no machismo in this era at all. What kind of women should talk about the three obediences and four virtues? So I heard Gu Xiying nodding and agreeing: "Okay, but it's not convenient for you to wear women's clothes. Why do you want your brother to go to the front yard to wear a set of soldiers' clothes? Even if I am the eldest young master's personal soldiers?"

Gu Xiying was very happy to hear Ma Cheng's agreement and nodded quickly. At this time, the gate of the courtyard sounded, and it was Gu Changwei who came.

Gu Xiying saw his brother coming and said what Ma Cheng had just said again. Gu Changwei was so angry that he couldn't stand it. Gu Changwei scolded: "What do you want to do, you damn girl? Do you think you are at home? Now you are the second master's concubine, who can run around in men's clothes. Today, I will stay at home. If you want to go out, your brother will break your legs!"

Gu Xiying was very afraid of this elder brother. He didn't dare to answer when he heard that, so he could only look at Ma Cheng pitifully.

Ma Cheng had no choice but to say, "Changwei, there is nothing wrong today anyway. You go to the front yard to find Zhang Guozhu to ask for a set of soldiers' clothes. Wouldn't it be fine if you put it on for the younger sister!"

When Gu Changwei heard Ma Cheng say this, he didn't dare to refute it, so he had to go out to borrow clothes from Zhang Guozhu.

Now Gu Changwei is Ma Cheng's elder brother-in-law and has a good position in Zhang Guozhu. Not to mention borrowing a set of clothes, even a full set of model equipment can be brought. Soon Gu Changwei got a new military uniform and came back. Gu Xiying was very happy to see it and quickly went into the house to change it.

After a while, Gu Xiying changed into a new military uniform and came out. When Ma Cheng saw it, he secretly praised him. He was such a handsome soldier.

This is the first time Ma Cheng has seen the Ming Dynasty military uniform when he came to this world. In fact, the Ming Dynasty military uniform is very similar to the Qing Dynasty military uniform. The outer garment is full of copper foam armor. Because Zhang Guozhu is all model soldiers of the Governor's Office, the cotton armor they wear is not like a piece of cardboard stuffed inside. The cotton armor is fifty-four pieces of iron sheets per centimeter thick, each iron sheet is nailed by copper nails on the inner layer of cowhide. The full set of cotton armor is a total of 36 kilograms, and the serious Ming army standard armor.

The cotton armor is a cloth surface with a blue sole and red edge, the helmet is a wide-edged eight-beam hat, and the lower body is an iron skirt like cotton armor to the calves, and the shoes are ordinary cloth shoes. Zhang Guozhu made a thorough human favor and also gave him a goose feather knife.

This Yanling Sword is not the standard match of the Ming army. The Yanling Sword looks similar to the Jingyiwei's Xiuchun Sword, but it is wider than the Xiuchun Sword. In the Ming Dynasty, millions of troops across the country could all be equipped with the powerful weapon of the Yanling Sword. This was given to him by Zhang Guozhu to please Ma Cheng.

Ma Cheng didn't understand, but Gu Xiying was an expert. She pulled out the Yanling sword and looked at Xi and said, "Brother, why did Zhang Zhenbiao give him a good knife? This is what the guerrilla general should use!"

Gu Changwei chuckled and said, "Hehe, Zhang Zhenbiao is not looking at the second master's face!"

Ma Cheng heard Gu Changwei say this and asked, "Is this Yanling Knife good?" After that, he took it from Gu Xiying and watched in detail.

Although Ma Cheng did not know swords, he had seen many kitchen knives in later generations. The workmanship of this Yanling knife was much worse than that of kitchen knives. The blade had obvious marks of creation, but the blade was shining with cold light and should look quite sharp.

"Second Master, this goose-feather sword is the standard configuration of the guerrilla general. It requires a good Guangdong Iron 21 pounds. After a long continuous hit by the blacksmith in the army, it can be turned into steel. Then it is made with a good grinding stone blade. This can be made into this goose-feather sword! This knife can be sold for eight or nine taels of silver on the market!"

Ma Cheng was shocked when he heard Gu Changwei say this. He just saw that his handmade broken knife was sold for eight or nine taels of silver, which was enough for a family of three to spend half a year. No matter in that era, it would still make money from arms!

However, Ma Cheng was a little unbelievable about what Gu Changwei said just now. Isn’t the steel material made of directly? Why is this steel knife made of?

"Gu San, isn't steel made now?"

Ma Cheng's words scared Gu Changwei. Although Gu Changwei is not a blacksmith, he has been in the army for many years. All the steel swords and guns in the army are made through hard work. What is it directly made?

"Second Master, although the villain does not understand iron craftsmanship, he has never heard of the saying that steel is made. The swords and guns in the army are made by blacksmiths. Good swords and guns will take time. As for ordinary soldiers, they can only use pig iron swords and guns!"

Ma Cheng nodded when he heard Gu Changwei say this. It seemed that he still had a lot of room for improvement in steel. Ma Cheng pointed to the set of cotton armor that Gu Xiying wore and asked, "Gu San, how much does this set of cotton armor cost? Can everyone in the Ming army wear this outfit?"

Gu Changwei was speechless by Ma Cheng's ignorance. The ordinary Ming army, not to mention the real cotton armor, even the shoddy paper armor of the Nanjing Inner Government Army. Ordinary guards could only wear a flowered mandarin duck battle robe that was passed down from the ancestors, and the border troops were better, but this kind of fully protected cotton armor was not something they could equip. Only intermediate officers such as Qianhu and Guard could wear cotton armor.

"Second Master, the little sister wears a cotton armor and sells twenty taels of silver on the market. If you can get equipment from ordinary military households, only the model soldiers from the Governor's Office can get equipment."

Ma Cheng knew that he had 300 Guizhou soldiers under his command, and he borrowed them from his uncle Gu Congxin. Perhaps this cotton armor was the equipment of those Guizhou soldiers!

This cotton armor and a battle skirt are more than fifty pounds, but Gu Xiying is 1.8 meters tall, and she looks so handsome when she wears it. Ma Cheng saw Gu Xiying very much and asked, "Do you like it, little sister?"

Gu Xiying was born in a military family, so she naturally liked this good armor very much. He heard Ma Cheng say this and quickly replied: "Yes, Second Master, can you give me this cotton armor?"

"It's okay to give it to you. The key is that you are not tired of wearing these fifty or sixty pounds?"

Gu Xiying jumped and felt nothing: "It's nothing, I can still bear the burden of fifty or sixty kilograms!"

Gu Changwei saw Gu Xiying cursing, "Little sister, why are you a woman wearing armor? You haven't taken off the cotton armor, you just need to go out and wear the mandarin duck battle robe inside!"

The mandarin duck battle robe is a standard equipment of the Ming army. The color is mainly blue and red. There is a patch on the chest according to the different types of troops. For example, it is a military soldier. The character "Gui" on the patch is a character "Gui", and the small characters on the edge indicate what guard you are and what station you are, and it is managed by the small flag of the general flag. If it is recruiting soldiers, it is a character "Gui" and there are also small characters that indicate you are managed by the general and the general.

As for the model soldiers in the Governor's yamen, there is a mark on the chest, and the small characters on the edge are Fengyang Governor's shibian Town. These words mean that you are very awesome, and you are the personal soldiers of the commander of the military region. This mandarin duck war robe represents identity in the Lianghuai War Zone of the Ming Dynasty. The personal soldiers of the Governor's corpse are awesome than ordinary thousand households.

When Gu Xiying heard that her brother asked her to take off her armor, she dared not refuse, so she had no choice but to take off the cotton armor. Seeing that Gu Xiying liked this cotton armor very much, Ma Cheng smiled and said, "Since my little sister likes it, just wear it, but you can't say you're tired when you go out later, do you know?"

When Gu Xiying heard Ma Cheng say this, he quickly said, "Thank you, Second Master!"

At this moment, someone outside the door said, "Second Young Master, I'm here!" It turned out that the old butler Ma Gui was here.

There was also a young man who entered the hospital with Ma Gui, who was about 25 or 26 years old. He looked very similar to Ma Gui, probably his nephew.

When Ma Gui entered the courtyard, he was stunned. Although there were model soldiers guarding the Governor's yamen, why were there any model soldiers coming in at the back house? Ma Gui frowned and was about to get angry. Do you, a small soldier, understand the rules? Should you come to this back house?

When Ma Cheng saw Ma Gui's expression, he quickly explained: "Uncle Gui, this little soldier is not my father's model, but my concubine. He insists on wearing this armor to play with it!"

Ma Gui is not an ordinary housekeeper. When Ma Shiying was the governor of Xuanfu, Ma Gui was the housekeeper. He knew that if this cotton armor had not shrunk, it would weigh fifty or sixty pounds, the second young master's concubine would actually act as usual when she put it on.

Ma Guiyuan wanted to talk about the second young master. After all, it was the face of the Ma family that made his woman appear in public. However, Ma Gui thought about the ridiculous things about Ma Cheng, the second generation ancestor, before, and then shut up and stopped talking.

Ma Gui pretended not to see Gu Xiying, turned around and pulled the young man and said, "Second Young Master, at this time, the second son of the old slave, Ma Shun, today he followed the second young master to choose labor outside the city. The old slave would not go as old as he was old!"

When Ma Cheng heard Ma Gui say this, he knew what the old guy was doing. Sugar making is very expensive. This old guy must have wanted his son to go to the sugar factory to find a job.
