The early morning sun shone into the yard, Zhao got up and stretched beautifully, and the maid Ling'er brought the young master face wash very punctually.

Zhao Qi got dressed, the clothes during the Warring States period were troublesome, there was not a button, all kinds of ties, and they couldn't tie the dead knot, Zhao Qi basically got used to everything else now, it's just that this dress is troublesome to wear, and there is a damn crotch cloth, it's really two pieces of cloth, and the second brother is panicked at the end of the day.

The maid Ling'er saw that the young master was struggling to get dressed, so she put the washing water on the table, and came over to help Zhao Qi get dressed, Zhao Qi didn't refuse, most of the time was spent on getting dressed every day, and it was a good thing to have someone to serve her. It's just that Ling'er is very puzzled, this little master is said to be the smartest child in Xianyang, why can't he even wear clothes?

got dressed and got out of bed, wiped his face casually, wiped his face casually, and after drying it, he walked out with his hands behind his back, and when he went out to stretch his waist, he saw that the energetic Hong Sanbao was still standing next to the contempt seat, Zhao Qi shook his head, almost forgetting this guy.

Walked over and looked at the paper on the scorn mat, the color was not bad, a little yellow, stretched out his hand and touched it, a little rough, also a little thick, almost two millimeters thick, if the future generations made such paper, they would have to be scolded to death, but now the technology is not mature, and it is the first experiment, it is good to be able to make it like this, Zhao Qi nodded with satisfaction, and then turned his back to Hong Sanbao and said: "You trim this thing into a square, throw away the excess part, and then come to the study, I will give you another thing, You can bring these two things to Master Lu and rest. ”

Hong Sanbao nodded, Zhao Qi turned around and was about to leave, but he felt that it was inappropriate, so he turned around again, patted him on the shoulder and said, "You have worked hard, you can let go of this matter for a few days, and you don't have to accompany me all the time." Only then did he leave.

"Don't worry, little master, I'm not tired, but I have something to tell me." Hong Sanbao's voice came from behind him, and Zhao Qi waved his hand without looking back, just as he responded to him.

I went directly to the study, found the brush on the desk, and then found the jar of ink that had dried, re-added some water and grinded, and soon it became thick ink again.

Hong Sanbao's efficiency was still very fast, and he came in with the contempt seat, maybe Zhao Qi didn't express it clearly, and Hong Sanbao was cut together with the contempt seat.

Zhao Qi couldn't help but laugh and took the scorn mat from his hand, took off the paper from the top and said to him: "This thing will be mass-produced in the future, remember, the scorn mat can be used many times, no need to cut, what you want to trim is the paper on the top."

Hong Sanbao scratched his head embarrassedly and said, "I know, I didn't ask clearly this time, and I won't do it again next time."

"It's okay, just pay attention next time, anyway, a scorn seat is not worth a few dollars." Zhao Qi didn't reprimand him, he even picked up the pen and wrote five big characters on the paper, "Good paper, Zhao Qi made", looked left and right, nodded with satisfaction, and then rolled up the paper for easy carrying. At this time, I remembered that I patronized papermaking yesterday, and forgot to calculate the cost, so I asked Hong Sanbao, "By the way, what is the price when you collect silkworm chrysalis?" ”

Speaking of this, Hong Sanbao was energetic, touched his head and said: "Then what kind of money do you want, these silkworm chrysalis are all picked out of bad color, and they are all worried about losing it, of course it is better for someone to collect it, I received so much without a penny."

This is not very optimistic, in the future, the paper will definitely be sold for money, but there is no cost and only make money, Zhao Qi always feels that this money is not practical, so he said to Hong Sanbao: "In the future, our family will buy a large number of this thing, and there are rotten cloth strips, remember, whether they want it or not, they must give money, just calculate it at the price of two taels and one catty."

"Won't this be a bit too much, we still have to give money for things that people throw away as garbage, I think it's inappropriate, and the people who sell them will be upset." Hong Sanbao shook his head a little unclear So, the ancients were straight, if this thing was given money, they would ask and ask, it was troublesome.

This is a problem, Zhao Qi touched his chin and thought, Qin Guo's currency is still quite a lot, he thinks it's nothing, after all, the silkworm chrysalis has no weight, and a catty can fit a snakeskin bag. But other people don't think so, if they give money, they don't feel down-to-earth, so they said: "Then one or two, no less, after a while, they will know the value of this thing, and naturally the price will rise, okay, okay, I can't tell you clearly, you can send these things to Lord Lu first." As he spoke, he handed the freshly ground ink, brush, and paper to Hong Sanbao.

Hong Sanbao saw that the little young master was resolute, so he didn't speak again, sighed and left silently holding things.

After doing this, Zhao Qi packed up and was going to Meng Tian's house as a guest, when the old man Meng Fu left last night, he specially asked Lu Buwei to bring him a message, so that he would go to Meng's house when he had the opportunity, today's weather is good, it is also a suitable day to go out, it is a pity not to go out, but I am not familiar with life in this place alone, and I don't know where Meng Fei's house is, I have to find someone to go with, who to find has become a big problem, Hong Sanbao is obviously not good, Lu Lizard forget it, this kid runs around with Zhang Han all day long, I didn't know where I was going at this time, but when I was sad, I saw Wang Ben come in, and instantly solved Zhao Qi's difficulty.

When Hong Sanbao put the brush, ink and thick yellow paper on Lü Buwei's desk, Lü Buwei couldn't sit still at all, he didn't expect this kid to really study this kind of thing. Immediately grabbed the brush and spread out the paper, when he saw the crooked five words on the paper, his face turned completely dark, and he slapped the table angrily, and roared: "This little cub is really spoiled by the old man, what a good thing, just like this, the old man also plans to dedicate it to His Royal Highness the Prince, how can the old man pull down his face and show the prince?"

Angry reprimand, good things have to be experienced, picked up the pen dipped in some ink, tried to write two words on the paper, I couldn't help frowning, just now I still dislike Zhao Qi's writing is ugly, I didn't expect that I wrote it more ugly, it seems that this thing still needs to be practiced.

Zhao Qi had expected this kind of thing, originally Lu Buwei wrote it badly when he carved it with a knife, and it was naturally worse to use unfamiliar tools, the reason why he used these words in advance was to tell him this truth, after all, he was used to using ballpoint pens in later generations, and he was not used to using brushes, as for whether it would make Lu Buwei ugly, it was not within his consideration.

Wang Ben's face was ugly, the purpose of his coming to Lu Buwei's house this time was to compare his skills with Zhao Qi again, who knew that when this kid saw him, he was like seeing a baby, his eyes were shining and affectionate, and there must be a demon when something went wrong, and sure enough, Zhao Qi let himself take him to Meng Tian's house without waiting for him to speak. After Wang Ben said his purpose, this guy was even more dead-faced and said that if he didn't take him, he wouldn't compare with him, and he had no choice but to agree to this kid's request first.

Meng Tian's family is worthy of being a gate, the house is much more luxurious than Wang Qian's house, and even better than Lu Buwei's family, just the two big lions at the door have to spend a lot of effort, and there is a two-zhang high bronze halberd next to the lion, which is the sign of the gate. The door was scarlet, with a bronze lion's head on each side and a brass ring in its mouth.

The door also has to be more than a zhang, the knocker is more than five and a half feet above the ground, Zhao got up just over four feet high, stretched out his arm to reach the knocker, but just couldn't reach, struggled for a long time and then gave up, buckled the lacquered wooden door.

Wang Ben looked at this guy who didn't think he could do anything with disdain, and he could be called the smartest child in Xianyang? It is clear that he is more than a foot taller than his head, and he has to try, and he doesn't know who gave him the title of the first smart child, in his eyes, Meng Tian, who has been familiar with the art of war since he was a child, is much smarter than this kid.

The lacquered wooden door creaked open, and the man in coarse cloth clothes leaned out half of his body, and when he saw that it was two children, he couldn't help but show a questioning look, and his tone was also a little contemptuous: "Where did the child come from?" What are you doing here? ”

Wang Ben frowned, it's not that he hasn't been to Mengfu, the servants of the Meng family should all know him, why doesn't this person have any eyes? I just wanted to rush over and beat up this short-eyed minion, but I was stopped by Zhao Qi, and said to the servant very politely: "Boy Zhao Qi was invited to visit Old Man Meng, please report it."

The servant snorted coldly, the contempt in his eyes was obvious, and he thought to himself what is the identity of Old Man Meng? Will you invite a stinky child? But when people said so, he could only report it, close the door and go in.

"Zhao Qi, why are you stopping me? I can beat this kind of guy with thin arms and legs, and I can beat one of them, and I'll forget it, you're dressed gorgeously enough, right? I don't know how people with this kind of intelligence live in the world. Wang Ben was still a little annoyed, and he was very dissatisfied with Zhao Qi's behavior of stopping him just now.

Zhao Qi picked his nostrils indifferently, and then said to Wang Ben with bad intentions: "This person is a newly recruited servant of the Mengfu at first glance, if you don't understand the rules, let's give him a long memory, if you beat him just now, even if he makes a mistake, he will be punished, but if we mention this in front of Grandpa Meng or Meng Tian intentionally or unintentionally, what kind of result do you think he will face?"

"The reason why these people came to serve in Mongolia is to get rid of the status of slaves, if they have the temperament of a dog fighting people, according to Mengwu's character, I am afraid it will be difficult to get out of slavery in this life." Wang Ben looked at Zhao Qi like a monster, and secretly warned himself in his heart that he must not offend this kid in the future, he is too damn amazing!

The door of Mengfu opened again, and out came the two brothers Meng Tian and Meng Yi, Meng Tian greeted the two very warmly, he was a very generous person, and he had long forgotten that Zhang Han had told him that Zhao Qi was smarter than him.

The servant just now was still following behind, but his attitude had changed from arrogance just now to flattery, of course, this could not change Zhao Qi's attitude of revenge against him, after entering the courtyard, Zhao Qi chatted with Meng Tian while walking, and when he was about to arrive at the house, he squinted and saw the servant breathe a sigh of relief, so he said to Meng Tian: "I said brother, I think it is necessary for you to tell your father, it's time to rectify the atmosphere in the house."

The servant behind him turned pale in an instant, and his face was as gray as death.
