"I heard that there are a lot of beautiful concubines in Lord Li's mansion, may I ask how many concubines Lord Li has married?" Shen Ning asked again. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Well...... Xiaguan has a total of thirteen concubines. Li Zhixing replied cautiously.

He thought to himself that it had finally come.

Next, he thought that Shen Ning must have asked him to summon the fifth concubine to come here that night as a witness, and he was already ready to order someone to be called.

Unexpectedly, Shen Ning took another sip of tea and actually diverted the topic.

"The emperor said that Lord Li had forged weapons before, and I would like to ask what kind of weapons Lord Li is best at creating? Is it a long knife, a short sword, a spear spear, an arrow crossbow, or some Qimen blades?"

Li Zhixing was stunned again, he thought for a while and said: "When Xia Guan was young, he once learned some forging techniques with a blacksmith master, and he was definitely not proficient, and the most commonly forged tools were some hoes and sickles, like weapons, and would only make relatively simple short knives and daggers." ”

"So, Master Li doesn't know how to build bows and arrows, or crossbows?" Shen Ning asked again.

When Li Zhixing heard the word "crossbow", his eyebrows moved slightly, his eyes involuntarily turned to the upper right corner, and then he shook his head and said: "No, but since the lower official received the emperor's favor and entrusted him with the important task of the secretary of the military department, he has studied the forging drawings of the eighteen kinds of blades, although he can't build them, he can also understand the principle of his forging." ”

Although Shen Ning's words were gentle and he didn't question sharply, Li Zhixing's heart couldn't help but get nervous.

He replied more cautiously.

Shen Ning nodded, his eyes turned around the living room, and when he saw a picture of a tiger descending the mountain hanging in the middle hall, he stood up and walked to the picture to admire it carefully.

Li Zhixing also got up and said with a smile: "Father-in-law likes this painting?"

Shen Ning said: "I am a humble person, where do I know how to draw, but I see that this tiger is majestic, but it has a bit of the style of the king of beasts, this painting is so lifelike, I think it must be from the hand of which Danqing national teacher." ”

Li Zhixing's eyes showed a slight smug look, and he said with a smile: "My father-in-law praised it falsely, this painting is not the work of a master, it is a graffiti work of the lower officials on a whim." ”

Although he said that it was a "graffiti work", he couldn't hide the smug expression on his face.

Because Shen Ning's words praised his heart, although he served as the secretary of the Ministry of War, he drew a good Danqing, and the most proud thing was this picture of the tiger descending the mountain.

"Ah, it turns out that the great man is both humanistic and martial, disrespectful and disrespectful. ”

Shen Ning had a look of adoration on his face, and he gave up his hand again and again at Li Zhixing.

"I can't imagine that Lord Li knows how to forge weapons and draw such a good hand, if the emperor learns that Lord Li still has such a talent, he will definitely be very happy, maybe he will appreciate Lord Li even more. ”

The smile on Li Zhixing's face deepened, and he took out a red envelope from his sleeve and quietly stuffed it into Shen Ning's hand.

"I also ask my father-in-law to say a few more kind words for the lower officials in front of the emperor. ”

Shen Ning quietly stuffed the red seal in her sleeve and said with a smile: "A few kind words? Lord Li must have something important, so I will leave first, and the emperor is still waiting for me to return to the palace to restore my life. ”

"The next official sent the two fathers-in-law. ”

Li Zhixing respectfully sent Shen Ning and Xiaoru out of the mansion, and watched the backs of the two disappear from sight before slowly turning around and returning to the house.
