Chapter 31: The Iron of the Zhao Family
Rosen's speculation certainly makes sense.
Unlike the surname "Zhao", which ranks first among the 100 surnames of Chinese civilization, Zhao is not a big surname in the Great Liang Empire, especially in Xuzhou Prefecture, it is even more rare.
In addition, Zhao Wushuang knew so much about Da Zhuang's affairs, and even knew that Li Xiuru had the skill of flying needles, so he would wait for the opportunity outside the door in advance.
From this point of view, Zhao Wushuang is likely to have an inseparable relationship with the Zhao blacksmith in the famous state capital in Xicheng.
In this regard, Zhao Wushuang did not deny it outright, and did not even go around in circles with Rosen, but simply nodded neatly and said, "That's my father's business." ”
After speaking, Zhao Wushuang also picked up the chopsticks, first picked up a piece of beef and put it in his mouth.
The next moment, Zhao Wushuang's gaze changed.
"Huh?"
But he didn't have time to make any comments, so he quickly picked out another chopstick noodle and sucked it in.
"Hmm!"
The strong noodles, coupled with the sweet beef, compose a majestic epic in his mouth, as if Zhao Wushuang saw the vast grassland, and the endless yak running wildly.
Maybe even the vast expanse recorded in the history books three hundred years ago is nothing more than that.
To be honest, although Zhao Wushuang is not a real gourmet, he is a person who has eaten countless delicacies from the mountains and seas after all, and if it was just a simple bowl of beef noodles, he would definitely not let him lose his temper so much.
Something wasn't quite right.
Zhao Wushuang took a sip of the noodle soup beautifully, and then set his eyes on Boss Hong, who was boiling the soup on the side of the desk, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Sure enough, Huangli Street is full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers......
However, before Zhao Wushuang could delve into the true origin of this Boss Hong, he heard Luo Sen on the other side say with a look of surprise: "You said that the legendary Zhao blacksmith is Ling Zun? Brother Zhao! You are really my nobleman!"
Zhao Wushuang withdrew his gaze and looked at Lawson in confusion.
"What, what kind of blade do you want to build?"
Rosen laughed and pretended to be shy, "It's not a blade, it's just a gadget that I researched myself." ”
"Are there any drawings?"
"Yes, yes. Luo Sen nodded again and again: "If it is convenient for Brother Zhao, why don't I bring the drawings tomorrow, and let's go to visit Lord Lingzun together." ”
In all fairness, Zao Woushuang is a golden signboard of Xuzhou Prefecture, what kind of people have not seen it over the years?
But there are really very few people like Rosen who are so stinky and shameless, but who still take it for granted.
Just now, he was impatiently looking for someone to borrow money from Zhao Wushuang.
As a result, as soon as he turned around and knew that Zhao Wushuang's father was the famous Zhao blacksmith in Xicheng, he immediately changed his face and shouted "Brother Zhao" one by one......
In this regard, Zhao Wushuang also teased mercilessly: "Brother Luo, your style of acting has always been like this...... Do you see the wind making the rudder?"
Rosen smiled without shame: "Brother Zhao praised it falsely. ”
This sentence immediately choked Zhao Wushuang enough, and almost spit out the noodles in his mouth.
"Ahem...... Okay, Brother Luo, you can be regarded as a strange person that Zhao knows, but there are two things that I have to tell you clearly. ”
Luo Sen nodded again and again: "Brother Zhao, but it's okay to talk about it." ”
"First, my father's iron business is not on credit!"
Hearing this, Rosen suddenly understood that this was Zhao Wushuang misunderstanding himself, and quickly patted his waist bag again: "Brother Zhao can rest assured at this point, no matter how hard we pick, we can't buy things without giving money, right?"
Zhao Wushuang thought to himself that you were still a little self-aware, and then said, "Second, in fact, the relationship between my father and me is ...... Somewhat nervous. ”
This time, it was a little unexpected for Rosen.
But two possibilities came to his mind.
Could it be that Zhao Wushuang looked too shocking and cried ghosts, causing Lao Zhao to think that this was not his biological son?
Or ......
"Is it because Brother Zhao went to Si Le Fu?"
Zhao Wushuang smiled bitterly and nodded: "My father has hoped that I can inherit the ancestral business and become a world-famous blacksmith since I was a child, but unfortunately, I finally disappointed his old man." ”
As soon as these words came out, Rosen couldn't help but feel a little empathy, he carefully looked at Zhao Wushuang's slender figure, and pondered that with his little arms and legs, if he really went to work as a blacksmith, I am afraid that it would not be far from the bankruptcy of the Zhao family......
I don't know how many yellow flower girls in the state capital sighed.
Not...... It doesn't seem like a good idea.
Maybe if Zhao Wushuang really inherits the ancestral business, all the girls in the entire Xuzhou Mansion will have swords on their waists and daggers in their hands in the future, and the name of the Zhao family's first weapon shop may be just around the corner......
The legendary No. 1 traffic star in Xuzhou Mansion opened his door to do business, but he was afraid that he would not be able to make money every day?
The more Rosen thought about it, the more he felt that people were more angry than people, and he couldn't help frowning and said: "Anyway, you have to try, I heard that your Zhao family's orders have been scheduled until the early summer of next year, if you don't rely on Brother Zhao's relationship to go through the back door once, I'm afraid it will be far away when I finish this thing." ”
Zhao Wushuang smiled lightly: "Okay, but I don't dare to make any guarantees." ”
Rosen leaned his neck and took the last sip of noodle soup, burping contentedly: "I understand." ”
……
At noon on the second day, Rosen took advantage of the lunch break to head towards Fairview Street as promised, but instead of the joy that the artifact was about to be completed, he frowned.
Because earlier today, Zheng An said something very strange to him.
received a generous reward of several hundred taels of silver from the head of the house, although Rosen was picky, but he was not stupid at all in interpersonal relationships.
So he planned to invite his colleagues from the entire adjudication department to a meal.
was stopped by Zheng An.
It is said that the adjudication department did not have the practice of celebrating after solving the case, so that Rosen could privately pull Li San'er and they were happy.
But the question is, what does this have to do with Li San'er?
Rosen's ability to solve the case is not his credit alone, but the results of the previous investigation of the judges, Rosen is only the last person responsible for picking the fruit.
And in the final analysis, Rosen is qualified to intervene in this case, in fact, the most important thing to thank is Zhan Linwen.
But Zheng An told Lawson that Zhan Sicheng has been busy with official business recently, and he really can't take time out, so he will be free of eating or something.
From this, Rosen smelled a hint of something unpleasant.
Could it be that Lin Wen felt that he had stolen the limelight when he solved the case, and he was dissatisfied, so he planned to beat himself appropriately?
Or is it because the murderers are Li Xiuru and Da Zhuang, so Zhan Lin Wen hasn't eased up in his heart?
Thinking of this, Rosen couldn't help but feel depressed.
He originally planned to use this case to make a steady progress in the adjudication department and find a way to get rid of his status as a miscellaneous servant, but now it seems that it has backfired.
Of course, after the Li Xiuru case, Rosen did not say that he had gained nothing.
Among them, the most direct is the hundreds of taels of silver that the head of the mansion rewarded.
With this money, at least Lawson doesn't have to eat steamed buns to get by, and his living standard can be said to have been greatly improved.
In addition, Rosen also has enough capital to build a killer feature tailored for him by the Earth Fang Working Group.
Firearms.
Once this project is successfully completed, if Rosen encounters a master of martial arts like Li Xiuru in the future, he will not be passive everywhere.
No matter how high your martial arts are, you can't stop a bullet!
With the wonderful hope of being invincible in the world, Rosen gradually put Zheng An's strange attitude behind him, and when he slowly came to the Zhao family's blacksmith shop, he found that the door was closed, and Zhao Wushuang was already waiting there in advance.
"This is ......" Rosen's heart chilled, feeling as if he had come at an inopportune time.
saw Zhao Wushuang beckoning to him: "Follow me." ”
The two of them walked around to a small door behind the shop, and Zhao Wushuang pushed the door in a familiar way, and then explained: "My father knew that I would come today, so in order to prevent a riot, he closed the door in advance. ”
Lawson looked at Zao Wou-shuang's impeccable face and let out a long sigh, and then saw a muscular man who looked like a fitness expert walking slowly with heavy steps.
"That's the friend you're talking about?"
Seeing this, Rosen hurriedly bowed and saluted, "I've seen my uncle." ”
There is no doubt that this is Zhao Wushuang's father, the first blacksmith in Xuzhou Mansion, Zhao Chaojing.
In fact, although Zhao Chaojing's appearance is not as handsome as his son, he looks a little childish, if it weren't for the two pairs of white sideburns hairline, the whole person would look like a young man in his thirties.
Could it be that striking iron still has the effect of rejuvenating the skin?
Rosen snorted to himself, but when he saw that Zhao Chaojing had come to him, he simply stretched out a pair of calloused palms.
"Bring the drawings. ”
Hearing this, Rosen was overjoyed, where could he still take care of the other party's cold attitude, and quickly took out the model drawings he had drawn overnight from his arms.
Zhao Chaojing took it and glanced at it lightly, and then his gaze fell on Rosen's body.
Rosen had already prepared his rhetoric and was about to explain what he wanted to build, but he heard Zhao Chaojing ask: "After doing it for a long time, you just want to make this tattered antique?"
Tattered?
Antique?
What do you mean?
Luo Sen was secretly stunned, and before he could think of how to answer, he saw Zhao Chaojing turn around in a hurry and walked towards the furnace room, so he could only ask Zhao Wushuang, "Uncle, is this the next?"
Zhao Wushuang shook the folding fan in his hand and said with a smile: "My father has this temper, you are lucky today, but it may also be because I don't have any male friends, so I brought you over this time, and my father is happy." ”
Lawson didn't know how to take this sentence.
I don't know where to start complaining.
But in any case, it is of course a great thing that it has been so smooth to come to build gun parts.
So Rosen subconsciously clenched his fists and expressed his joy to the working group on the other side of the earth.
However, he didn't know that at this time, the earth had fallen into a long-overdue chaos.
