Chapter 26 Buying a Carriage

Seeing that Chen Shiyi agreed, Li Lanzhi smiled even more intensely, and said, "It's better to hit the sun than to choose a date. Why don't Mr. Mo come back to the palace with me, let me take care of Mr. Mo, and introduce you to my father by the way. If the king knows that I have recruited a great talent like Mr. Mo for the palace, he will be very happy."

Chen Shiyi thought that this agreed to the conquest of the palace. After becoming one of her own, even the princess called her differently.Knowledge is indeed power!Fortunately, when she was in the army, she had learned the manufacture of ancient medium and long-range weapons, and now she can produce better crossbows and sleeve arrows in this time and space, which has been appreciated by the princess and turned knowledge into wealth and status.

"Thank you, princess, for your kindness. It's just that this subordinate is accompanying his wife and brother to the county school to take the children's exam. His wife and father-in-law are still waiting at the county school, so it's inconvenient for the subordinate to stay for a long time."

"Since this is the case, we have to wait another day. I will accept this pair of crossbows and sleeve arrows. Uncle Qi, give 100 taels to Mr. Mo."

Li Qi took out 100 taels of silver note from his sleeve and handed it to Chen Shishi. Chen Shishi took it, clasped his fists and said, "Thank you, princess."

"Mr. Mo has the blueprints with him?"

"No, this subordinate came to Juxian Tower just after making the Liannu and Xiujian. Moreover, there is no ready-made production blueprint. All the manufacturing methods are in the subordinate's mind. It will take some time for the subordinate to draw the production blueprint. Finish the list of required materials, and then the subordinates will personally go to the mansion and deliver them to the princess."

After hearing this, Li Lanzhi said: "Mr. Mo, there is something that the princess should make clear to you in advance. Since you have decided to sell this blueprint to me, you must never sell it to others. Once the princess knows You also sold the blueprints to others, so don't blame the princess for being rude to you!"

"Caomin can guarantee that the production drawings and material list will only be handed over to the princess. Once the drawings and lists are in the hands of the princess, they will belong to the princess. If the princess can't keep her own things well and something goes wrong, then It has nothing to do with the grass people, and the grass people are not responsible. The grass people will fulfill their promises and hand over the drawings and lists to the princess, and hope that the princess will keep the promise." When Chen Shishi saw that Li Lanzhi claimed to be the princess, she would also No longer claiming to be a subordinate, after all, she is not a servant of the county prince's mansion, so she does not need to bow her knees.

Chen Shishi's tone is firm, his spine is straight, and he is not afraid of power.Not only did Li Lanzhi not get angry when she saw it, but she even appreciated it more.

"Well, then I'll wait for Mr. Mo's good news. Mr. Mo said earlier that there is something to do, so go and get busy! Uncle Qi, send Mr. Mo off for me!"

"Yes, princess." Li Qi said to Chen Shishi: "Mr. Mo, please!"

"Princess, don't say goodbye."

After Li Qi came back, Li Lanzhi said: "Uncle Qi, you should immediately send someone to Xinghua Village to investigate this Mo Shen for me. If this person is innocent and has a strong character, immediately follow my instructions. Don't neglect the talent. Get her loyalty as soon as possible. On the contrary, this person can only use her and not trust her. In addition, don't let the wind leak about this matter. If it works well, our county prince's mansion may regain the favor of the Holy One. That Mo Shen, you too Send a few people to stare at her, and ensure her safety before getting the blueprint."

"Yes, princess, this subordinate will arrange someone to do it."

After Chen Shiyi left Juxian Tower, he went to a carriage and horse dealer, bought two carriages, and spent 40 taels of silver.He also asked the carriage dealer to take one of the carriages to Mo Yi's medical center in Xinghua Village, and he drove the other carriage to find Xiao Jinyi.

Since he was buying now and learning now, Chen Shiyi's skills in driving a carriage were not yet high, so he could only drive the carriage slowly on the street.When she found Xiao Jinyi, Xiao Jinyi was closing the stall.

"Wow!" Chen Shixi reined in his horse, got off the carriage and said, "Business is very good today, and the stall has been closed so soon."

"Yes, the business is very good. Those wooden hairpins of Eleven Diao are very popular among scholars, so they sold out quickly." Seeing the carriage behind Chen Shiyi, Xiao Jinyi asked, "Whose carriage is this? "

"Oh, this is the carriage I just bought, it belongs to our family. In the future, I won't have to borrow the ox cart from Brother Fugui's family all the time."

Fu Gui was surprised and said: "Brother Mo Shen, the carriage is very expensive, costing dozens of taels, have you made a fortune?"

Chen Shiyi smiled and said, "Yes, I made a small fortune. Brother Fugui has worked hard today, and I will go to the county school to pick up my father and Jinyu later, and then we will go to Tianxianglou to have a good meal together."

"Go to Tianxianglou for dinner, haha, good luck, thank you Brother Mo Shen." Fugui said happily.

"I heard earlier that a young man on crutches pulled away the two-stone bow in Juxian Building. Eleven, is that you?" Xiao Jinyi asked.

"Yes, it's me."

Xiao Jinyi said anxiously: "Eleventh, didn't you promise that I would not apply for the post of captain of the Royal Caravan Guard until my injury was cured? You must know that the Royal Caravan traveled all over the world, traveled all over the world, went beyond the Great Wall, and traveled across the sea. , have been to Dashi... I heard that the reason why the palace is recruiting the captain of the caravan guard this time is because the palace intends to open up a trade route to Niluo, and the previous captain of the caravan guard died while opening up the trade route to Niluo On the way. So on the eleventh, the captain of the palace caravan guard is not so easy to be, so don't be impulsive."

Chen Shiyi comforted: "Don't worry, Jinyi. I went to Juxianlou to draw the bow earlier. I didn't apply for the position of captain of the Wangfu caravan guard. It's a long story. Let's pick up my father and Jinyu first. I will wait for dinner. Let me tell you slowly."

When they arrived at the county school, Chen Shishi and Xiao Jinyi didn't see Xiao Zaidao, and they were anxious, so they hurriedly asked the scholar who had chatted with Xiao Zaidao earlier. "Uncle, do you know where Xiao Zaidao Master Xiao went?"

"Master Xiao, I was invited to drink tea by the head of the county school. After the exam is over, I should come out. The exam will be over in a few minutes, you just wait and see."

"Okay, thank you uncle!"

"Eleventh, why would the good-looking head of the county school invite father to drink tea?" Xiao Jinyi was worried and puzzled.

"Don't worry, Jinyi, I'll know when my father comes out."

Not long after, many candidates came out of the county school one after another. These candidates were of different ages, the youngest was five or six years old, and the oldest was fifty or sixty.Xiao Jinyi kept staring at the door, and finally saw a young man pushing her father out, followed by Xiao Jinyu.

Seeing that both Xiao Zaidao and Xiao Jinyu looked happy, Chen Shixi felt relieved.

Xiao Jinyi stepped forward and asked, "Father, do you know the head of the county school?"

Xiao Zaidao said with a smile: "Yi'er, I didn't know this new mountain chief before I became a father. Only after I went there did I know that the mountain chief Wen Zaiyin is actually Shi Zhao's biological father, and the incoming Qingping County Ling is Shizhao."

"Daddy, didn't Brother Wen lose his news after taking the provincial examination three years ago? What's going on here?"

Chen Shiyi thought, who is this Wen Shizhao?Looking at the conversation between Xiao Zaidao and Xiao Jinyi, it is obvious that this person has a lot to do with the Xiao family.She answered: "Father, Jinyi, there are too many people here, it's not a place to talk, let's go eat first, and chat while eating."

"Yes, what Eleven said is right, go to eat first, and chat while eating."

Fugui said: "Master Xiao, I will carry you into the carriage."

"Carriage?" Xiao Zaidao thought he had heard wrong.

"Yes, Mr. Xiao, brother Mo Shen just bought this carriage."

Xiao Zaidao and Xiao Jinyu looked surprised.

Chen Shishidao: "Father and Jinyu get into the carriage first, then I will explain to you later."

When they arrived at Tianxiang Tower, Chen Shishi booked a private room, and after ordering the dishes, he briefly explained what happened after she met Li Lanzhi in Juxian Tower.Everyone petrified one after another, with disbelief on their faces, and then they were sincerely happy for Chen Shishi.

"Brother-in-law, are you serious?" Xiao Jinyu asked.

"Well. The princess doesn't need to lie to me, a little commoner."

"My brother-in-law gave me something worth 100 taels so easily?"

"For my brother-in-law, the production cost of that thing is only one tael of silver." Chen Shiyi laughed.

"Brother-in-law, you are really amazing. From now on, you will be Jinyu's idol. You can teach Jinyu how to make Liannu and Hidden Arrows. This is more interesting than studying, and the money will come in faster." Xiao Jinyu excitedly said.

Xiao Zaidao was very happy at first, but when he heard Xiao Jinyu's stinking words, he immediately reprimanded him with a straight face: "You are young, you don't study well, you just want to make money, are you in the eyes of money? , the first place will always be the scholar. You study hard for me, take the scientific examination, and become an official like your big brother Shizhao is the right way."

Xiao Jinyu immediately behaved well, with her head bowed like a quail.

Chen Shishi asked, "Father, who is this Wen Shizhao?"

"Eleventh, this Shizhao is an orphan adopted by his father ten years ago. He went to Linzhou to take the provincial examination three years ago, but there has been no news since then. Zhi Shizhao was retrieved by Moon Jae-in three years ago after winning the exam, and then Moon Jae-in brought Shizhao back to the capital to recognize his ancestors, and let Shizhao prepare for the exam three years later in Beijing by the way. My father wrote a letter, but for some unknown reason, my father did not receive it, so we lost contact."

After Chen Shixi finished listening, his heart was filled with a sense of crisis.This Wen Shizhao and Xiao Jinyi are childhood sweethearts, and this bamboo horse is still young and promising, and will soon return to Qingping County as the county magistrate.

"Father, are brothers Shizhao married?" Chen Shishi asked.

Xiao Zaidao's face changed slightly after hearing this question.When Moon Jae-in approached him earlier, he not only told him what happened three years ago, thanked him for taking in and raising Shizhao, but also expressed his intention to marry him.Unfortunately, Jinyi is already married.

But Xiao Zaidao soon felt relieved.Because Wen Shizhao may be an excellent adopted son, but not necessarily an excellent son-in-law.In the past month, Xiao Zaidao really acknowledged his gratitude to Chen Shiyi, the son-in-law, for her dedication and help to the Xiao family.Moreover, Chen Shishi is also an upright man, but he is willing to wrong him to join the Xiao family. Based on this alone, there are few men in the world who can compare to Chen Shishi.

Of course, the most important thing is that Yier likes it, Yier likes it, and a father naturally likes it too.

Then he smiled and said: "I don't know about my father, this is the matter of the Wen family after all. Let's go home early after dinner. Let Weifu see if your Go game has improved."

When Chen Shiyi heard Xiao's father say "our family", he was very happy, and then when he heard Xiao's father asked her to play Go with him, his expression immediately collapsed. She is a scum in Go!

"Father, play Go with you. Didn't I seek abuse by myself? Look, how about I play chess with you?"

Xiao Zaidao said with a smile: "Eleventh, do you think that your father is someone who seeks abuse?"

Chen Xiyi had no choice but to say pitifully, "I ask my father to be merciful when the time comes."

"Father, I still remember what Eleven said, playing chess is so boring!" Xiao Zaidao stroked his beard and imitated what Chen Eleven said at the time.

Chen Shishi wanted to cry but had no tears, so he gave up struggling, patted his forehead with one hand, and sighed: "If I knew today, why bother?"
