Chapter 305 A bronze statue
Chapter 305: A Bronze Statue
The crisis has finally passed, and people like Shi Bin are very satisfied with the situation at this time. Because he knew that although Jia Ling was the eldest lady, she was not scheming, and she was like a child when she was happy, and now she is like that. So what we have to do now is to go back to Dingzhou as soon as possible and arrange everything before opening Chengdu.
Back to Dingzhou, he also rode a horse and galloped, in order to prevent the delicate jade carving from being damaged, Shi Bin also bought dozens of catties of duck down and put it in the bag containing the jade carving. This kind of meticulous care made Jia Ling even happier, so although she was tired of driving along the way, she was very happy.
After running all the way to Ezhou for more than ten days, Shi Bin and Jia Ling were stunned, but they found an embarrassing thing: Jia Rudao is no longer the ambassador of the Yangtze River, but the ambassador of the two Huai systems, Huaidong pacification envoy, and Yangzhou Zhiyangzhou. So he should be in Yangzhou instead of Ezhou now. Of course, it is impossible to turn back and send this good news, and it is even worse not to tell Jia Rudao, so he had to send a personal guard to deliver the letter. It's just that he has repeatedly told him not to say this embarrassing thing, if Jia Rudao asks, he must say that there is an urgent matter in Chengdu that cannot be delayed.
Since it is Shi Bin's personal guard, of course people are very smart and know the severity, and immediately promised not to say a word, please Shi Bin and Jia Ling can rest assured. Although such a small episode made the two a little embarrassed, it also added a bit of fun to the boring return trip, so the next road was more enjoyable.
As soon as he entered Dingzhou City, Shi Bin took Jia Ling back to the mansion without saying a word, and as for what Li Chao wanted to do, he would follow him. Jia Ling excitedly played with the jade carving as if she was not tired, while Shi Bin went into the lounge of his study regardless of it, and fell asleep. Shi Bin's current idea is to sleep well, no one disturbs him, and he can sleep until he wakes up naturally.
It's a pity that it's just a wonderful expectation that will never come true. As soon as he slept to turn on the lights, Shi Bin was called up by Sai Xishi outside the door under the pretext of eating. This tired person who was about to fall apart had slept for only two hours, although he didn't want to get up, but the female bandit came, and it was impossible not to get up, so it didn't feel very interesting. Shi Bin, whose head was about to explode, walked to the door angrily, ready to ask her for guilt, wondering why she was so inconsiderate of others, especially her husband, who was running around all day long in order to succeed.
But as soon as the door opened, he regretted it, and seemed unable to ask for guilt, for Seysish was clearly more angry than hers.
What's going on? Shi Bin couldn't understand the current situation. I asked myself if I didn't do anything to be sorry for Sai Xishi, Jia Ling was so tired that she should be resting, and it was impossible to touch her scales.
Just when he didn't know why, Xiaoqin flashed out from behind Sai Xishi, and his two hands couldn't stop making movements that made him feel familiar.
"Say! Why only buy from her, not me? "Sai Xi Shi erupted.
"What do you mean by only buying from her and not from you..." Shi Bin's mind was still not very clear, so he asked rhetorically.
Seeing that Shi Bin hadn't understood yet, Xiaoqin was so anxious that she jumped to her feet, and kept making a 'jade carving' mouth shape. Although he was not very sober, combined with such a few pieces of information, Shi Bin immediately understood why Sai Xishi was so angry.
"It's not that things are too urgent, so I forgot about it..." Shi Bin subconsciously said the truth, but as soon as the words came out, he regretted it. Secretly scolding himself for being stupid enough, how can he say that he forgot Sai Xishi? However, he didn't turn back when he opened the bow, so he immediately spoke again: "I forgot to bring back the statue for you, it should have fallen in the inn in Lin'an." ”
No matter how stupid people are, they know that this is a lie, but it is very suitable for Sai Xishi, a woman who is rigid on the outside and soft on the inside
Tactics of war. After listening to Shi Bin's words, although Sai Xishi's eyes were still full of anger, his tone was much softer, and he said, "Is that really the case? ”
"Of course it's true."
"Don't think I don't know it's a lie, but I don't care. But you must also prepare me a gift that I like within five days. Sai Xi Shi said without any negotiation.
Shi Bin was not surprised by this sentence, nor did he feel that this gift was difficult to prepare. In his opinion, according to the gourd painting scoop, also prepare a jade carving.
"Hmph, don't think about using jade carvings to prevaricate me! I want something else! Sai Xi Shi snorted coldly and said, and before Shi Bin came back to her senses, she turned around and left.
Looking at Xiaoqin, who was standing at the door and didn't leave for a long time, Shi Bin said, "Xiaoqin, why are you still here?" ”
"Master, the second lady's anger was provoked by Xiaoqin. The eldest lady asked me to hide the jade carving in my boudoir, but I was playing in your bedroom, and I was bumped into by the second lady who came to greet me..." Xiaoqin explained tremblingly, and her voice became smaller and smaller.
Although Xiaoqin is a little at fault, the big mistake is not her, but herself, because she didn't expect it in advance, she also had to prepare a gift for Sai Xishi, and she got this result. So Shi Bin smiled and comforted, "Xiaoqin, it's not your fault. It was I who didn't think of preparing a gift for the second lady before that made her angry. As long as I don't prepare this gift, even if she doesn't get angry today, she will be angry sooner or later. ”
Shi Bin's words made Xiaoqin feel a little more comfortable, but she still didn't mean to leave, she just stood at the door and didn't say a word.
Anyway, Shi Bin, who was already sleepy and unhappy, didn't bother to take care of the others and sat on the Nanmu chair in the study to rest, and ordered Xiaoqin to make him a pot of Longjing, which could be regarded as transferring unhappiness by drinking tea.
If it was in normal times, Shi Bin would definitely coax Xiaoqin out of the study and stay alone until his mood calmed down. But at this time, he didn't want to, because he still had a big problem to solve: to prepare a gift for Sai Xishi that she liked. He didn't have the energy to pay attention to Xiaoqin and let her go.
Jade carving··· Wood carving··· Bronze statue··· What swirled around in Shi Bin's mind was the statue, but the material was different, but this obviously did not meet Sai Xishi's requirements. Although giving this gift to Sai Xi Shi will definitely dissipate her anger, it will cause her misunderstanding, thinking that her flat wife and concubine room are not as good as Jia Ling's main room, and she is loved by Shi Bin.
sighed secretly that it was really self-inflicted, just let Jia Ling pick one she liked. Why bother to take the trouble to send one she likes? Now it's good, Jia Ling is happy, Sai Xishi is angry, and he is physically and mentally exhausted.
It should have seen Shi Bin's unhappiness, Xiaoqin, who had made the tea, stood aside and said, "Master, are you annoyed by the words of the second lady just now?" If so, Xiaoqin wants to do something to make up for my mistakes. ”
subconsciously wanted to refuse, but before the words came out, I thought that Xiaoqin was also a woman, and she should know Sai Xishi better than her. So he temporarily changed his words: "Okay, you can tell me what you can do." ”
"Master, Xiaoqin didn't come up with a good way, she can only tell you some things that the second lady often talks about."
Something to talk about? Knowing that Sai Xi Shi would definitely be able to deduce what she wanted, Xiaoqin could tell him this, Shi Bin was naturally happy, and said: "Quickly speaking, I have always known myself and know that I am invincible, and what I am worried about is that I forgot to pay attention to what she usually wants!" ”
"Yes, sir. The second lady is different from the eldest lady, she prefers a free and easy life. So she often went out of the city to hunt on horseback, and when she met Sai Daren, she would talk about their days in the cottage. ”
"You mean she doesn't like her current life and wants to go back to being a bandit?" Shi Bin said in surprise
。
With a sneer, Xiaoqin said, "The master misunderstood, the second lady just wants to visit her cottage often, because there are many good memories of her." But she would never go back to being a bandit, she said this in front of everyone. ”
"Anything else?"
"Another point is that the second lady seems to like good armor very much, and often compares various armors, and seems to be studying their respective advantages and disadvantages..." Xiaoqin said with some incomprehension.
Although Xiaoqin was puzzled, the more Shi Bin listened, the happier she became, and suddenly interrupted her with a laugh and said, "Okay! Xiaoqin, go and call Wang San to me, I want to discuss things with him. ”
Xiaoqin, the person who made a mistake, didn't dare to delay in the slightest, so he quickly went to Wang Sanna and took him to Shi Bin's study, and then retreated obediently.
"Wang San, when I came back this time, I gave Jia Ling a jade carving as a gift, but I forgot to give Sai Xishi a statue as well, and now she is making a fuss and wants one too. Just now Xiaoqin told me some of Sai Xishi's hobbies, and I also came up with a rough idea, and now I want to ask you to help refer to it, what is more appropriate for her. ”
"Big brother, please speak." After hearing this, Wang San sighed that Shi Bin was pitiful, but he still said that he would definitely help.
Xiaoqin said that Xi Shi now misses the free life before, and he likes all kinds of armor.
"This shouldn't be difficult, can't the eldest brother think of a way?" Wang San asked with a smile.
"I came up with a way, which is to give her a copper rockery about the same size as Jia Ling's jade carving, with a model of her cottage built on it. But what about this armor? After all, I only gave Jia Ling one gift, if I gave Sai Xishi two, it is difficult to ensure that Jia Ling is not jealous, then I still can't be at peace? Shi Bin said with a sad face.
"This is indeed a bit troublesome, big brother, it seems that three wives and four concubines are not a good thing. Just dealing with the jealousy of the women in the family is very troublesome. Wang San laughed as he spoke, and said vigorously that he would only take one in his life.
Shi Bin was not in the mood to discuss with Wang San the issue of getting a few wives, and asked him to come up with a way as soon as possible in an ordered tone, and he was not allowed to talk nonsense.
"Big brother, don't be angry, I have a method that is actually very simple. It will definitely solve the problem that you can't give these two gifts together. ”
"Say it quickly."
"Won't you just combine the two models?"
Shi Bin obviously didn't understand the meaning of Wang San's words, in his opinion, it was okay to unite together, but the model mountain is so big, how big can the dummy standing on the mountain be? Is the armor you are wearing still visible?
At a glance, he knew that Shi Bin wanted to go wrong, Wang San smiled and said: "Big brother, this person doesn't have to stand on the top of the mountain, he can also stand at the bottom of the mountain." ”
Woke up Shi Bin, and he immediately asked, "What kind of material is used?" What I gave to Jia Ling is a jade carving, if it is also a jade carving for Sai Xishi, I'm afraid she will still be dissatisfied. ”
"In this regard, the eldest brother can rest assured, as long as it is not jade, the younger brother dares to guarantee that the second sister-in-law will not have any dissatisfaction." Wang San said confidently.
Anyway, he couldn't think of a better way, and Shi Bin also wanted to get rid of it as soon as possible. So I decided to customize a copper rockery with a wooden village on the top of the mountain, and at the bottom of the mountain was a bronze man wearing bright silver armor with a sword and a spear.
As soon as the gift was ready, Shi Bin immediately sent it to Sai Xishi's room in person. Sure enough, as Wang San expected, Sai Xishi only wanted a different kind of mind rather than a high-end material. When she saw Shi Bin's gift, she had long forgotten her previous anger, and immediately became a child who got the gift she liked.
Shi Bin, who was standing on the sidelines and watching, was naturally very happy and much more relaxed. ()
