Lin Nan shook his head, then walked over, clapped his hands, and Lin Nan spoke: "Girls, work, the young master will show you a hand today, haluha." ”

Here are their most intimate women, although the red-sleeved little palace maid has not yet been accepted into the room, but as long as they are in a good mood, they can do it here. Therefore, Lin Nan did not have any estimates, and fell the prey from the storage space to the ground in one go.

"Sisters, come over and help." Hua Qiaodie, the kitchen idiot, was the first to scream excitedly. Although this little girl is not very good at cooking, her knife skills are the first-class, even Yan Ran, who cooks the best, is not as good as her knife skills. It's just that I don't know what Lu Dao is for, but the food cooked by this little girl really makes Lin Nan really dare not compliment.

Lin Nan's women basically spent time in the kitchen during the time when Lin Nan left, except for the beginning, Hua Da Beauty and several people were busy working in a cloth village for a while, and when they stabilized, they also began to learn to cook.

Therefore, these women are not the kind of people who open their mouths for food and stretch out their hands for clothes, and they consciously began to get busy. It's just that the little palace maid with red sleeves didn't really hold a knife, and she looked a little overwhelmed, carrying a pheasant in one hand, and trembling slightly in the other.

Lin Nan walked over with a smile, patted the little head of the red sleeves, took the pheasant and the knife in her hand and said, "The red sleeves, you don't know how to make these things, you don't have to force yourself." ”

Watching Lin Nan skillfully bleed the pheasant and hollow out the sundries in the internal organs, the red-sleeved little palace maid said with a red face: "Young master, isn't the red-sleeved very stupid, and he can't even do these things well." ”

Turning his head, Lin Nan said to Red Sleeves: "Look at my eyes, Red Sleeves." Everyone has a bit of something for everyone. You don't have to emulate others, haven't you heard Rui'er and them say, the lotus seed soup you make can't be compared to anyone. Your gentleness and tenderness are beyond their imitation. ”

After a pause, Lin Nan continued: "Remember my words, keep yourself, you envy them at the same time. Aren't they also envious of your craft? Don't change anything, the young master likes the red sleeves like this now. ”

was very uncomfortable with Lin Nan's direct confession, and the red-sleeved pretty face ran to the low couch, which caused Lin Nan to laugh wildly. The obscene laughter made all the women look at Lin Nan.

"Look at what you see, if you look at it again, young master, I will eat you all." Lin Nan smiled, with a lewd face.

Qi Qi took a sip of Lin Nan. The women no longer paid attention to Lin Nan.

After a full meal, Lin Nanyou followed the girls to play by the river. Looking at the sky that was almost dusk, the women followed Lin Nan's footsteps back to the place where the craftsmen were.

wanted to beat the women back, but they were stubborn and always wanted to see what Lin Nan was doing, so they stayed here with Lin Nan.

"How's the lime burning?" Lin Nan looked at the bored general who was sitting there and asked.

"Back to the prince, according to your instructions, Weichen has already collected some lime, just waiting for the prince to come back and give instructions." The head of the Ministry of Engineering listened to Lin Nan's questioning. Hurriedly ran over and replied.

Nodding, Lin Nan spoke, "Very good." Is the fine sand and clay ready? ”

"It's all ready according to the prince's instructions, prince, what are we going to do now?" Although the head of the Ministry of Industry was full of reluctance, he still couldn't disobey Lin Nan's intentions.

"Mix these things with water and stir them well. Remember, don't stop. Be sure to stir evenly. Lin Nan saw that everything was ready, so he commanded seriously.

Then he directed the craftsmen to start the work with the mud, and Lin Nan observed the movements of the people while asking the squire of the Ministry of Works to record the proportions he said. After all, Lin Nan didn't know what kind of ratio could make strong cement. It can only be tested a little bit.

Seeing that he was almost busy, Lin Nan said, "Okay, everyone has worked hard all day, let's stop here today." Everyone go back and have a good rest, maybe nothing will happen in the next two days, but in a few days it will be time to get busy. ”

"Xia Guan is awake, Lord Wang, please first." The waiter of the Ministry of Works wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead, after all, he is a civil official, although he is not very tired after working here all afternoon, but he is already frail, and he will inevitably feel tired after working all afternoon.

"It's hard work, let's take it and drink something with everyone, the combination of work and rest is the last word." Lin Nan smiled slightly, took out a gold ingot and handed it to the Ministry of Works, patted him on the shoulder and said.

"Thank you for the reward, the lower officials will complete the prince's orders, please rest assured." The waiter of the Ministry of Works smiled and patted his chest to reassure. Lin Nan wondered if if he could even sell his daughter to himself if he gave him a little more of this goods.

……

"Holy Maiden, will the King of the One Word really come?" A young man with a slightly pale face asked as he looked at the black veil on the other side.

Playing with the teacup in his hand, Youyue raised her head slightly, looked at the man with a smile in her eyes and said, "Don't the hall master believe the little girl's words?" Although there was a smile in his eyes, there was a chill in it.

"How dare you, how dare you, I just don't understand, why would the Shadow Moon Holy Maiden be so sure that the word side by side King will definitely come to the Heavenly Demon Sect." The young man was stabbed by Youyue's cold, ice-like eyes, and suddenly felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, and a chill unconsciously appeared from the soles of his feet.

If Lin Nan was here, he could see at a glance that this pale-faced young man was Li Cheng who he met in the restaurant that day. It's just that I don't know what happened to the chic Li Chengwei under the gaze of Youyue...... Ordinary and cautious, he didn't have the feeling of seeing the world as nothing when he met Lin Nan.

"This saintess dares to say this, she is naturally sure, is it possible that the decision of the saint must be approved by the hall master?" Youyue lowered her head lightly and continued to play with the teacup in her hand, without looking at Li Cheng in the slightest.

Seeing Youyue's appearance, Li Cheng's eyes flashed with light, but he forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, and still smiled and said: "I just want to know what the Youyue Holy Maiden of the Dao Youyue has such a certainty, if you and I are carefully arranged here." If the word side by side king does not appear, wouldn't it be a bamboo basket to draw water? ”

"The Holy Maiden also understands what the hall master means, but since we are in a cooperative relationship, we should trust each other instead of being suspicious of each other here. If the lord of the temple does not trust the Holy Maiden. Then let's not talk about this cooperation. Youyue didn't raise her head, looking at the teacup in her hand, her words were full of strong mockery.

"Hehe, the saint misunderstood, and she didn't have this idea in the future. If the saint has something unspeakable, it doesn't matter if she doesn't inquire. Then proceed according to the plan that our vision has decided, is the saint still satisfied? Li Cheng smiled slightly and asked.

"Very well, if the lord of the temple has nothing else to do. The Holy Maiden took her leave. Youyue responded lightly, without any emotion at all.

Arching his hand, Li Cheng spoke: "Then it's decided, if the saint has something, there will be no saint left." ”

"Thank you for your kindness, the little woman will take her leave." At this moment, Youyue seemed to be a different person, got up and gave Li Cheng a light salute, then turned around and walked out. It's just the blink of an eye. disappeared from Li Cheng's sight.

"Little Niangpi is too deceitful, isn't she just the holy daughter of the Heavenly Demon Sect. If it weren't for your higher martial arts, you would have already become the plaything of the master of this hall. After the moon disappeared, Li Cheng immediately flew like thunder, and with a wave of his hand, he knocked the tea on the table to the ground.

It's just that Li Cheng has so much strength, but the teacup used before Youyue is not moving. Li Cheng glanced at it in surprise, and then reached out to pick up the teacup. But Li Cheng has just come into contact with the teacup. I saw that the teacup suddenly turned into a pile of powder, and with a cold wind blowing outside the door, the white powder also disappeared into the air.

looked straight at the place where the teacup was placed, and it took a long time for Li Cheng to come back to his senses, but at this time Li Chengmeng was trembling. At this point, the scene just now has covered my back with cold sweat. Thinking back to the scene just now, if you really didn't control your emotions, maybe this teacup would be your end.

Rubbing his forehead, he originally thought that even if his martial arts were not the highest, they were not much different from this Moon Saintess. But according to the current situation, he is not half a star behind her.

Closing his eyes, Li Cheng calmed down his mood. He knew that if he couldn't put aside today's shadow, his cultivation would not be able to break through a higher bottleneck.

Shaking his head, Li Chengtou asked without replying, "Elder Xingchen, what kind of cultivation do you say this holy woman is?" Originally, when I was on the earth list, I just thought that she was just the strength of the heaven list, but now that I have broken through to the heaven list, why can't I see through her? ”

"If you go back to the hall master, your subordinates can't see through her strength. But the subordinates know that if the Holy Maiden of the Moon and her subordinates face each other, within a hundred moves, the subordinates will definitely die. Out of an instinct to hold on, Elder Xingchen said respectfully. Immediately, a person came out from behind Li Cheng, but this person had his entire body clumped in a wide hat cloak, and his appearance could not be seen clearly.

Li Cheng's eyes tightened, and he asked in disbelief: "Elder, is this Youyue really so powerful?" You are a person who has entered the realm of the unity of heaven and man, and you have nearly a hundred years of skill. Even if this Dark Moon Holy Maiden cultivates in her mother's womb, she can't be so powerful. Even if she has any adventures, she ...... "Li Cheng analyzed everything, but he still couldn't know what this dark moon would be so powerful.

"Hall Master, don't underestimate the people of the world. Not counting this Moon Saintess, even if it is the king who is side by side, the old man may not be able to win easily. Although he has not fought with Yizi, his subordinates can guess seven or eight from Elder Yue's narration. When you can be on the ground list, you can fight with Elder Yue to lose both, you can't say that there is no one in this world, but you can count it with one hand. Elder Xingchen said lightly.

Immediately sighing, Elder Xingchen continued: "And judging from today's information, this one-word side by side king not only does not leave hidden dangers, but even goes to the next level. The subordinates guessed that this one-word side by side king should have broken through to the heavenly list and was on the same line as his subordinates. Because of this, subordinates are not sure of victory. ”

"Hey, after listening to the elder's words, His Royal Highness is really a little sitting in the well and watching the sky." Li Cheng sighed and said helplessly.

"Your Highness doesn't have to be presumptuous. According to His Highness's current cultivation level, he will definitely be able to go to the next level a year ago, and when the time comes, even his subordinates may not be His Highness's opponents. Elder Xingchen said in a firm tone, without the slightest intention of being contrived.

Li Chengha laughed wildly, then stood up and said, "Elder Xingchen is right. His Highness is a little too degrading of himself. As long as His Royal Highness has achieved great success, why not be afraid of the Holy Maiden of the Dark Moon and the king side by side. When the time comes, the world will be under my control. ”

"What His Highness said is good, but his subordinates still have to remind His Highness not to underestimate these two people. While His Highness is improving, the two of them are also improving their skills, and when the time comes, I hope that His Highness will be cautious against the enemy. Elder Xingchen still said in a flat tone.

"Elder Xingchen, rest assured, His Highness is not the kind of person who is arrogant." Li Cheng also understood what Elder Xingchen meant by this, and waved his hand and said.

"That's best, if Your Highness has no other commands. The subordinate retired. Elder Xingchen bowed slightly and said.

After waving his hand, the figure behind Li Cheng disappeared into the room, as if it had never appeared.

Li Cheng sat at the table, closed his eyes slightly, and didn't know what he was thinking. An aggressive knock on the door sounded, waking up Li Cheng, who was in deep thought.

"Your Highness, Ruan Yuxi has returned. Is Your Highness meeting her now? A soft voice sounded outside the door, asking faintly.

"Let her in." Li Cheng got up and walked to the window. Push open the windows and let the moonlight shine in.

"Subordinate Ruan Yu regrets to see His Highness." After Ruan Yuxi closed the door, he knelt down on one knee behind Li Cheng and said respectfully.

Nodding, Li Cheng said, "Get up, go to the palace this time." How's things going there? How was Qin Fei arranged there? ”

"If you go back to Your Highness, there has been no change in the palace during this time. However, in the past few days, I have encountered some trouble, and my subordinates came back to ask His Highness how to deal with it. Yu Xi stood respectfully behind Li Cheng, lowered his little head and said.

"Oh? Something in trouble. Even Qin Fei can't solve it? Li Cheng asked with some surprise, in his impression, the palace has been arranged for more than three years, and it is impossible to encounter any tricky things.

"Back to His Royal Highness, when my subordinates went to the palace this time, they happened to meet the king who went to the cold palace to investigate. Although he didn't let him show up, his subordinates learned from Qin Fei's mouth that this one-word side by side king seemed to have paid attention to the cold palace, so his subordinates wanted to ask His Highness how to deal with this matter. Ruan Yuxi replied respectfully, not lying at all.

With his hands behind his back, Li Cheng walked up to Ruan Yuxi, stretched out a finger to hook her chin and said, "Next time you go to the palace, let her stop for the time being." Anyway, the layout of the palace is enough, and I don't care about a few fewer people. ”

Ruan Yuxi was about to speak, but Li Cheng spoke first: "Yuxi, you seem to have grown. Why don't you give your body to Your Highness today, so that Your Highness can take good care of you? ”

Being stared at by Li Cheng, a trace of panic flashed in Ruan Yuxi's eyes, and then he regained his composure and said to Li Cheng: "Your Highness, your subordinates are now about to break through to the ground list. If it is given to His Highness now, His Highness will not get any benefit. If the subordinates break through to the land list, His Highness can get more. ”

"Huh? Yuxi, you don't seem to have ever spoken to His Highness like this. Li Cheng looked at Ruan Yuxi with some confusion and said.

"The subordinates are just trying to survive for a few days, this is for themselves." Ruan Yuxi said lightly, without any emotional fluctuations.

……

Time always slips away inadvertently, and after Lin Nan accompanied the girls for two days, he heard a report from the Ministry of Works, saying that the cement had been completed, and he was waiting for Lin Nan to pass.

Bidding farewell to the women, Lin Nan shamelessly took out a horse scavenged from Li Da hooligan, a sweaty horse from Beiqiang when the Beiqiang civil strife was in the past.

This is also because Lin Nan felt that it would be inconvenient to travel without a horse, so he ran to Li Da's hooligan's horse house to grab one. However, when Lin Nan went over to grab the horse, the damn Imperial Horse Supervisor almost didn't piss Lin Nan off to death.

Because this time the Beiqiang people came to seek peace, the envoys of the Beiqiang sent a lot of good gifts. Among them were two sweaty stallions, and when Lin Nan went, he happened to meet the imperial horse supervisor who was going to castrate the BMW, which made Lin Nan angry half to death. beat the horse supervisor on the spot, and he couldn't take care of himself for the rest of his life.

At this time, Lin Nan realized that when the Li Da hooligan was in power, the Northern Qiang people paid tribute to so many good horses, but when they were at the end, none of them flowed down. It turned out that the stallions they sent were all castrated. Then take a fart to breed. Even if Beiqiang sends a mare, the thing about your stallion is gone, and it's still hairy.

At that time, Lin Nan scolded Li Da hooligan for being bloody, and only after Lin Nan was angry did he know about Lu Dao, it turned out that Li Da Hooligan didn't know about Lu Dao.

Walking on the road of Chang'an on a sweaty BMW, Lin Nan's appearance immediately attracted many people to watch. Although Chang'an is the political and cultural center of Ximing, there are few people who can ride a bloody horse.

Out of the city gate, Lin Nan shook his horsewhip. The sweaty BMW hissed, and then jumped out of the coffin. It was only a moment before Lin Nan came to the place where the cement was placed.

After getting off the horse, Lin Nan saw the waiter and a group of craftsmen who had been waiting for a long time.

With a wave of his hand, Lin Nan asked, "Come, let's start with the first one and test the hardness of these cements." "Reaching out to a rough craftsman, he commanded him to strike the cement with the same force.

Ten pieces of cement after a round of screening. There are only three pieces left, and some have tried it. Lin Nan finally found a relatively strong cement. After checking the records of the waiter of the Ministry of Works, Lin Nan felt that it was not easy to make such cement under such conditions. So Lin Nan didn't do those nitpicking things, and directly painted the rest of the waiter in the Ministry of Works, leaving only this proportion, and producing according to this in the future.

Commanded. Lin Nan took out the drawings he had prepared in the past two days. It's a three-story pavilion, but it's much taller than a normal three-story building. After all, what Lin Nan wants to run is an academy, and he can't think of a short house or a restaurant.

Lin Nan instructed the waiter of the Ministry of Works on how to understand the drawing, and at the same time instructed the craftsmen to start the field investigation. And most importantly, at this time. People basically don't have the concept of laying foundations, and Lin Nan doesn't want the house to be built by then, but it's not good if a gust of wind blows the house down.

"The most important thing to remember is that when laying the foundation, you must dig more than three meters into the ground, so as to ensure the quality of the house. The same should be used with the best cement ......" Speaking of this, Lin Nan couldn't help but think of the reinforced concrete in his previous life.

In a flash of inspiration, Lin Nan patted his head and waved his hand to let everyone listen. And then he said, "Alright, alright. Everyone come over first, I have something to say. ”

"How do you make steel?" Lin Nan turned his head and asked the waiter of the Ministry of Works next to him.

"Dare to ask the prince, what is steel?" The waiter of the Ministry of Works looked at Lin Nan in confusion, unable to understand what the steel in Lin Nan's mouth was.

patted his head, Lin Nan suddenly remembered that the thing in this era is not called stainless steel, but iron. Then Lin Nancai explained that iron is steel.

Later, the Ministry of Industry explained that the iron was usually from the Persian side, and Ximing had not yet mastered the forging method comparable to that of Persia.

After listening to the answer of the waiter of the Ministry of Works, Lin Nan couldn't help but feel a little depressed. The steelmaking method in the Western Ming Dynasty was so great that it was impossible to supply it at all. Because the steelmaking technology of this era is too weak, the steel production is really pitiful.

At this time, Lin Nan couldn't help but think of the blast furnace steelmaking in his previous life, that thing was a good thing, it could produce a lot of steel at one time. Whether it is in the field of construction or in terms of providing weapons for soldiers, it is well worth trying.

Lin Nan then came up with his own idea, and the craftsmen began to forge the blast furnace used in steelmaking. It's just that the skills at this time are not good, and Lin Nan can only hope that they can do almost enough.

Hey, it's going to drag on for a while, it's really one thing after another, it's so much. Although Lin Nan was depressed on the surface, he was happy in his heart. Ha Luha, if that's the case, maybe it's the time for the Chinese New Year, and I'll be able to get all these things done.

Lin Nan, who had an obscene face, didn't see that the squire of the Ministry of Works and the craftsmen next to him were looking at Lin Nan with a surprised look, because Lin Nan was smiling too obscenely at this time, as if he was ...... It's as if Lin Nan has just finished two chicks.

Ahem, the waiter of the Ministry of Works is a good person, interrupted Lin Nan's obscenity, and said, "Lord Wang." The blast furnace you are talking about, well, is it going to draw a drawing? Without drawings, it's not easy for craftsmen to work. ”

patted his head, just his mother's fantasy, why did he forget about the drawings. Hey hey, smile. Lin Nan said, "Okay, I'll give you the drawings, and you can come to Xingqing Palace tomorrow to get them." ”

Then Lin Nan ignored a group of craftsmen who were looking at each other, stepped on the horse in a dashing manner, and went straight to Chang'an.

Looking at Lin Nan, who had just left not long ago, returning to Xingqing Palace, a group of women were all looking at each other one by one. Hua Qiaodie, who was still active at the last time, ran over and sat on Lin Nan's lap and asked, "Young Master, don't you have a lot of things to do today, why did you come back so early?" ”

"Could it be that when I come back, young master, aren't you unhappy little girl?" Lin Nan pinched Hua Qiaodie's nose. A doting smile.

"How can it be, Qiaodie is looking forward to the young master being able to accompany Qiaodie every day, how can she be unhappy." Hua Qiaodie's little hand touched Lin Nan's big face, and kissed Lin Nan with a click.

Holding Hua Qiaodie's waist, Lin Nan smiled: "This is the young master's good butterfly." After being busy for a while, I remembered something else, so I let the craftsmen get busy first, and I was lazy. I'm going to stay with you when I go home, hehe. ”

"Great. You can go out and play again today. Hua Qiaodie jumped down from Lin Nan's body and said excitedly.

Lin Nan shook his head, this little girl knows how to play every day. Hey, a child's heart. Thinking of this, Lin Nan couldn't help but ask himself. Are you really old? Otherwise, how could you think so?

Shaking his head, Lin Nan spoke: "Young Master can't accompany you out to play today, I have to hurry up and make the drawings, otherwise." Tomorrow, the people from the Ministry of Engineering will come, and there will be no drawings for others, which is a sin. ”

"Ah~~~" Hua Qiaodie pulled a long note and looked at Lin Nan with a disappointed face. Then he ran to Ximen Piaoxue's side and said, "Sister Xue'er, the young master is not going out, so let's go out." ”

Seeing Ximen Piaoxue and the others go out, Lin Nan turned his head to Yanran and Hua Da Beauty and said, "Girl, why don't you go out to play with Die'er and them?" ”

"Although this Chang'an City is big, but for so long, Yanran has played all the places that should be played, and there is nothing worth going." Yanran shook her head and replied. After speaking, Yanran walked behind Lin Nan and gently helped Lin Nan knead his shoulders.

"By the way, has there been news from Xiahou Great God Stick and his mother-in-law in the past two days?" Lin Nan took a sip of tea, and after spitting out the tea foam, he asked.

"There's no news coming, so don't worry, young master. Whether it is Yuan Daochang's side or Ting'er's side, there are master guards, and nothing will happen. Hua Qiaodie smiled slightly, and told all the things of the past two days.

Nodding lightly, Lin Nan then asked, "How is the eldest brother, is the injury better?" ”

Before Hua Qiaodie could reply, there was a hearty laugh outside the door, and Murong Yun said as he walked in: "Little San, don't worry about me, although I haven't recovered my previous skills, but this time it is also a blessing in disguise, and I feel that my skills have improved a lot." If I ever run into the man who ambushed me again, I'm sure I'll be able to keep him. ”

"Ha Luha, congratulations to the big brother. Big brother, you have recovered a few successes now, and you don't have any hidden diseases left. Lin Nan turned around and asked with concern.

"It's okay, you kid is too underestimating me, this little injury can be counted." Murong Yun patted his chest, and sat opposite Lin Nan with a golden knife.

"It's okay if there's nothing to do, big brother will stay here during this time." Lin Nan paused, and then continued: "When I went to the palace the day before yesterday, I encountered some interesting things....... Immediately, Lin Nan told him about meeting Yu Xi and others in the cold palace.

"I didn't expect that there are so many brushes in this Evil Pole Palace, and they started to lay out a few years ago. If it weren't for Xiao San, you would have seen these things, we must still be in the dark. Murong Yun touched his chin that had not been shaved for a few days, and said with a smile.

Immediately, Murong Yun's tone changed, and he spoke: "Since they started the layout so early, then we can't sweep away the interest of others." If they dare to come out, let's just let us close the door and beat the dogs, and wipe them out. ”

Five days later, the blast furnace made by the craftsmen had been successfully refined. Lin Nan came to the place where the blast furnace was located with great excitement. Looking at this blast furnace that resembles the steelmaking used in modern society, Lin Nan's thoughts drifted far, far away, as if he had returned to modern times.

After settling down, Lin Nan spoke: "Okay, since the refining has been successful, let's start working." Lin Nan instructed the craftsmen step by step to start the steel refining.

Start early in the morning. Until noon, although it was constantly heated and reheated, there was no molten iron flowing out of this lovely steelmaking furnace, which not only made the craftsmen sweat profusely, but even Lin Nan was stunned, not knowing where the problem was.

It wasn't until it was nearly dusk, and everyone had been observing for a whole day, that Lin Nan suddenly realized that the original temperature was not high enough. As a result, it is impossible to completely melt the iron into molten iron and refine it into steel.

"Okay, stop for now, something must be wrong." Lin Nan waved his hand, but Lin Nan didn't say what the reason was.

Listening to Lin Nan's words, the craftsmen also breathed a sigh of relief. The craftsmen who had been busy all day were also very tired at the moment, and one or two fell to the ground without an image.

Lin Nan clapped his hands and said, "Okay." Let's take a break. When I found the problem, I was looking for everyone to come and discuss. "Finished speaking. Lin Nan didn't wait for everyone to reply, so he rode towards the place in Chang'an.

Along the way, Lin Nanduan sat on horseback and thought about how to raise the temperature. But Lin Nan thought about it, but he couldn't think of a good way.

Shaking his head, Lin Nan raised his eyes and looked, at this time, Lin Nan himself no longer knew where he was carried by his BMW. I looked at the sky. The originally bright sun had now shifted to the west, and the golden sunset was scattered across the earth.

Looking at a small courtyard surrounded by a fence in front, Lin Nan decided to go over and inquire about the direction of returning to Chang'an. After all, Lin Nan himself didn't know where Lu Dao was pulled by his cute BMW.

"You stinky horse, why did you pull Young Master Ben to such a place where there is no village in front of the village and no store in the back. People say that horses know the way. You're so good, I'm so. Lin Nan patted the sweaty horse's head very angrily and muttered.

Maybe he understood Lin Nan's words, and the sweaty BMW hissed to express his indignation. If it weren't for you holding the reins, this BMW wouldn't have come here.

"Ouch, still not convinced. Okay, I'll call you stupid in the future, well, that's it. Lin Nan shamelessly patted the horse's head, and gave this unacceptable name to this sweaty BMW as the owner.

Shaking the horse's head, the fool was very upset with the name given by his master. "The protest is invalid, I am your master, I have to call you whatever I say." Lin Nan did not hesitate to slap himself and slapped it again. Now the fool can learn to be obedient and no longer talk back to the master.

"Well, this is good, let's go and inquire first." Lin Nan smiled and rode his horse towards the small courtyard.

"Excuse me, is the master's house there?" Lin Nan shouted loudly when he walked to the courtyard gate.

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a child of seven or eight years old come out from under a big tree beside him. looked at Lin Nan's gorgeous costume and the horse under him, and asked with some fear, "Childe, is there something wrong with you?" ”

"Hehe, little brother, don't be afraid, do you know the way to Chang'an? I was thinking about something just now, and I was distracted by this stupid person who took the secret room in the direction of the secret room, and I didn't know how to go back to Chang'an. Lin Nan smiled slightly, making himself as amiable as possible.

Nodding, the child stretched out his little finger and pointed behind Lin Nan and said, "Childe will be able to see the official road after walking in the direction I pointed out for a while, and then follow the official road and go in that direction to Chang'an." ”

"Thank you little brother for your advice, this should be your reward." Lin Nan casually threw out a certain amount of silver and threw it into the little boy's arms. It's not that Lin Nan doesn't want to give more, it's just that Lin Nan knows the truth of his guilt.

"I can't do it, I can't help it, please take it back quickly." When had the little boy ever seen so much silver? Seeing Lin Nan turn around to leave, he hurriedly chased out and returned the silver to Lin Nan.

Looking down, I saw that the little boy had no greed in his eyes, holding the silver in both hands, and there was a black thing pressed under the silver, which made the little boy's hands black.

Since the sight was not as good as during the day at dusk, Lin Nan didn't care about the black thing. He smiled and said, "Little brother." Here's what you deserve. Young Master Ben lacks everything, but he is not short of silver. If you accept this money, won't your life be a little better? ”

The boy shook his head stubbornly and said to Lin Nan: "Grandpa told me that money is earned by your own hands, not by others. What's the difference between that and a beggar on the street? ”

Looking at this stubborn little boy, Lin Nan couldn't help but think about what kind of person could educate him. At this time, Lin Nan noticed the black thing in the little boy's hand, which looked a little familiar, but he couldn't remember what it was for a while, so he smiled and asked, "Little brother, what is it in your hand?" ”

The two little hands were separated, and one hand grasped the silver. Grabbing the black thing with one hand, the little boy said, "Is Childe asking about this thing?" ”

Seeing Lin Nan nodded, the little boy said, "I don't know what this thing is, but this black thing can write on a wooden board, just like ink." ”

Can it be like ink, what can it be? Lin Nan had some doubts in his heart. Immediately, Lin Nan took out a handkerchief and said to the little boy, "Little brother, can you show me this thing?" ”

"Of course. But don't get your hands dirty. The little boy handed over the black thing.

Lin Nan took the thing and looked at it carefully. It suddenly became clear that this black thing turned out to be coal. Closing his eyes and thinking slowly, the corners of Lin Nan's mouth smiled slightly. I was worried about how to raise the temperature of steelmaking, and I really wanted to sleep, so someone else brought me a pillow. At this time, Ximing mostly used wood and charcoal to live. There is no such thing as coal at all, so it's no wonder that I forgot about it.

Ha Lu smiled, and Lin Nan spoke: "Little brother, this coal, ah." Where did this black thing come from? How many of these things do you still have in your home? ”

"There are still a lot of them at home, is this useful for Childe?" The little boy asked, tilting his head. He never understood why this rich boy would be interested in this black thing.

"It's useful, of course it's useful, and it's still very useful. Haluha, little brother, can you show me how many of this things you have in your house? Lin Nan smiled and smiled very happily. Seeing the little boy's somewhat vigilant eyes, Lin Nan patted his head, and then said: "Don't get me wrong, I want to see how many such things you have in your house, I will buy them with silver, and the silver in your hand will be regarded as a subscription, how about it?" ”

Tilting his little head, the little boy thought about it seriously, then nodded and said, "Okay, Childe, please come in with me." After the little boy finished speaking, he took Lin Nan into the small courtyard, and walked to the open space in the backyard in three steps and two steps.

Following the direction pointed by the child, Lin Nan saw a lot of coal in the child's mouth. He looked at the child with a smile, and it turned out that the little guy was talking about four pieces of coal about the size of an adult's head.

But compared to the small piece in the child's hand, these are indeed a lot. Turning his head, Lin Nan asked, "Is there only so many?" ”

The boy nodded, and just as he was about to speak, a slightly hoarse voice came from the front yard, "Jun'er, grandpa is back." Although his voice is hoarse, he is full of energy, and he is obviously a practitioner.

Lin Nan smiled slightly, he didn't expect to really meet such a hidden old guy.

The boy looked at Lin Nan and said, "Grandpa, a guest has come to our house." Then the little boy ran towards the front yard, and Lin Nan followed behind, after all, he wanted to see the master's family.

Walking to the front yard, Lin Nan saw a middle-aged man in his forties, although his face was slightly wrinkled, his eyes were bright, and his temples were bulging. Seeing this middle-aged man, Lin Nan was slightly stunned, originally Lin Nan thought that this "grandfather" should be an old guy who was old, but he didn't expect it to be a middle-aged man. Then he smiled with relief, in this era, you can marry a wife and have children at the age of fourteen, and having such a young grandfather is not a rare species.

Arching his hand, Lin Nan spoke: "Junior Lin Nan, I have seen my seniors. "Although this middle-aged man's skills are not as profound as Lin Nan's, he is also a master on the list. So there is nothing wrong with Lin Nan saying this.

"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be, the son has such profound skills at a young age, it's really commendable. If the son does not give up, he can call Wang Laohan. The middle-aged man arched his hand at Lin Nan and returned the salute. Lin Nanxing is a Jianghu ceremony, so Wang Laohan will speak like this.

"I don't know why the son came to the house?" Wang Laohan didn't wait for Lin Nan to speak, and then spoke. Although it is bland, there is a faint hint of vigilance.

Looking at Wang Laohan like this, Lin Nan couldn't help but be a little funny, maybe he was another person with a story. However, Lin Nan didn't mean to meddle in things, so he said: "When the junior saw the coal in this little guy's hand, he wanted to see if Wang Laohan had any extra here." If there is any surplus, the younger generation can buy it with money. (To be continued......)
