"I'm here today for one more thing." Zhao Gao shook the fan in his hand and said slowly: "Today I am coming on behalf of General Meng, and it is inconvenient for General Meng to come in the army, so send me to say a word, all the apprentices of Li Lao's income today, when the apprenticeship ceremony is completed, they will report to the barracks." ”

"Why is that?" Mu Qi listened to Zhao Gao's words and asked incomprehensibly.

"Your Majesty issued an order to order the disciples of Li Lao to be appointed to General Meng's military camp to make weapons for Daqin." Zhao Gao continued: "Of course, you also have the right not to go, as long as you don't worship Li Lao as a teacher. ”

Listening to Zhao Gao's words, Mu Qi was silent, he didn't want to go to the barracks, he didn't want his craft to be full of blood.

Looking at the silent everyone, Li Jiang was also very understanding, and his heart was full of apologies, this matter started because of her, Li Jiang said apologetically: "Everyone, I'm very sorry, this matter is all because of me, if you don't want to go to the barracks to serve, you can also leave, my father and I will give you a copy of your father's experience to apologize." ”

"You don't have to be so pessimistic." Zhao Gao watched the atmosphere suddenly quiet, and could only say helplessly: "Even if you enter the barracks, it is also Meng Tian's barracks, with Meng Tian's character, even if you don't miss the affection with Li Lao and Jiang Er, you won't do what you don't like, what are you afraid of?" Not only can you learn from a teacher, but you can also go to the military camp to serve and get an official and a half position, why not do it. ”

"It's not that we don't believe in General Meng's character, it's just that the court is deceitful and ever-changing, how can we and other ordinary people set foot here." Shi Ming listened to Zhao Gao's words, frowned and said, Shi Ming wanted to learn from a teacher, but he never thought about anything to do with the official family.

"Haven't you thought about it? A body of excellent craftsmanship, still in the troubled times can still survive a safe life? If you want to spend your life in this troubled world, then be a fool who doesn't know anything, otherwise you will have a lot of pressure with great skills. Zhao Gao's words woke up the dreamer, Zhao Gao's words were right, if you want to live this life ordinarily in this troubled world, that is, to be an ignorant fool, but who would be willing to be a stupid fool.

"Thank you Brother Zhao for your advice." Takagi was the first to stand up and salute Zhao Gao and said, "Takagi is willing to enter the barracks and serve General Meng." ”

With Takagi taking the lead, Shi Ming and the others also stood up together and said, "I am willing to enter the military camp to serve General Meng." ”

"Good, very good." Zhao Gao listened to the replies of Gao Mu and the others, stood up with a smile and said to them: "It's not in vain that I have been optimistic about you from the beginning, by the way, I forgot to tell you a good news, Lao Meng said, you only need to go to the military camp to take a look at each other, and you can learn art in Loei at other times, and you don't have to go to the military camp." ”

"Thank you, General Meng." Gao Mu and the others listened to Zhao Gao's words, and the solemn emotions before were swept away in an instant.

"Ahh High?. "Thank you, Brother Meng for me." Li Jiang also said happily, which saved a lot of trouble.

"What are you still polite to Lao Meng?" Zhao Gao smiled, and his eyes were full of doting.

"In that case, the old man will go back to the room to rest first, and you can stay for dinner." Li Lao saw that the matter was already in order, so he stood up and said, Li Lao really felt a little powerless, Li Lao felt that since he came to the Qin Dynasty, he felt that everything was changing, and he didn't know if it was right for him to come to Daqin with his daughter.

"Thank you, Senior Li." Everyone saluted together and watched Li Lao leave.

Seeing Elder Li leaving, the atmosphere suddenly became a lot more cheerful, and Qishan whispered to Shi Ming excitedly: "We can eat in Laifu, can we eat at the same table with Senior Li?" ”

"Yes." Shi Ming was obviously not as excited as Qishan, he just nodded and replied in a low voice.

Although Qi Shan and Shi Ming spoke in low voices, but in this quiet lobby, it was still very clear, Zhao Gao was very interested in Qi Shan, and felt that Qi Shan was very appetizing to himself, so he quipped: "Dashan, you are so excited, you will have to eat at the same table every day in the future, you should not be so excited that you can't even hold the bowl." ”

"How is that possible?" Qishan listened to Zhao Gao's words and immediately retorted: "Why do you call me Dashan, my name is Qishan." ”

"I like to call you a mountain, honest." Zhao Gao looked at Qishan, who was arguing, became interested, and said with a smile.

"You ......" At the moment, Qishan's face was red, and he was a little annoyed when he heard Zhao Gao say that he was honest, but he didn't know how to refute it.

Shi Ming, who was on the side, signaled Qishan not to be impatient, and then bowed to Zhao Gao with a calm face, and then said slowly: "Brother Zhao, don't make fun of Qishan anymore, this kid is anxious." ”

"You're a fun combination." Zhao Gao looked at Qishan and Shi Ming, one had a detached temperament, and the other was mature and steady.

"Kaishan and I have been friends since childhood, and we don't distinguish each other." Shi Ming is polite and makes people feel very comfortable.

"Okay, Ah Gao, don't always make fun of Qishan when he thinks it's funny, he's going to be from my Loei province soon." Li Jiang looked at Zhao Gao and kept making fun of Qishan, so he spoke.

"This hasn't entered the door yet? is so sheltered, Jiang Er hurt Ah Gao's heart. Zhao Gao said to Li Jiang with a hurt expression, as if Li Jiang had done some unforgivable sin to him.

"Ah Gao, don't make trouble." Since Li Jiang got along with Zhao Gao these days, she was already clear about what Zhao Gao was like, Li Jiang said to Qishan and Shi Ming: "Ah Gao is like this, but he has no malicious intentions, you don't have to be surprised." ”

"Naturally, Brother Zhao is hearty by nature, and he is a friend worthy of making friends." Shi Ming followed Li Jiang's words and continued.

"Otherwise, let's introduce each other first, and then we will be senior brothers." Li Jiang proposed.

"That's very good." Shi Ming said: "There is a start in the next, and the name is Shi Ming, and the family is an ordinary person. ”

"In Xia Qishan, the family is a blacksmith." After Shi Ming's introduction, Qishan spoke.

After listening to Shi Ming and Qishan's introduction, Gao Mu slowly spoke: "In Xia Gaomu, my home is in the western suburbs of the city, and my family has been a carpenter for generations. ”

"In Xia Muqi, my father Mu Qingshan." Mu Qi said lightly.

"Yo, Mu Qingshan." Zhao Gao said with a smile on his face when he heard Mu Qi's introduction.

"Ah Gao, what's wrong? Any questions? Li Jiang saw Zhao Gao's expression and thought there was something.

"Didn't Jiang Er want to know, who sent the rice these days? This Mu Qingshan is the biggest rice merchant in Xianyang City, and this time you have a big tree. Zhao Gao stared at Mu Qi and said with a smile.

"The biggest rice merchant?" Li Jiang listened to Zhao Gao's words, looked at Mu Qi in disbelief and said.

"In other words, why did you come here to learn carpentry so hard because you are a rich merchant who sells rice at home, your father earns money that you can't spend in three lifetimes." Zhao Gao asked curiously.

"I am me, my father is my father, my volunteer since I was a child has never been a businessman, I am dedicated to the pursuit of carpenter's craft, I just want to one day rely on my craft, let everyone know me, not because of the three words Mu Qingshan." Mu Qi said with a firm face, since he was a child, the people around him were the sons of Mu Qingshan, not Mu Qi, Mu Qi just wanted to prove that without a father, he could also make a world with his own hands.

"Okay, backbone, I'm optimistic about you." Zhao Gao heard Mu Qi's words, and said approvingly: "Don't rely on your father's business, break out of the world by yourself, I, Zhao Gao, are optimistic about you." ”

Mu Qi didn't say much anymore, but looked at Zhao Gao and nodded, Mu Qi could see that Zhao Gao was actually very similar to himself, a like-minded person.

"Xiaobu, why don't you speak?" Li Jiang saw Xiaobu sitting on the side silently, it seemed that he really didn't like to speak, and felt that he didn't fit in with everyone.

"My name is Xiaobu, I have no father or mother, and I am an orphan." Hearing Li Jiang ask himself, Xiao Bu spoke, but after saying this sentence, he stopped talking.

Li Jiang listened to Xiaobu's words, and didn't know how to answer for a while, it turned out that he was an orphan, no wonder he spoke so little, Li Jiang looked at Xiaobu and said gently: "Xiaobu, from today on, you are not an orphan, we will be your relatives from today on." ”

The others listened to Li Jiang's words and nodded in agreement, Xiaobu looked at everyone, did not speak, but there was a slight fluctuation in his eyes, and then nodded at everyone, which was regarded as a response.

Zhao Gao on the side looked at the muffled Xiaobu, with a deep meaning, Zhao Gao felt that Xiaobu was a little thoughtful, although he spoke very little, but Zhao Gao noticed that he was listening carefully to every word everyone said, and sometimes he would observe everyone's words and deeds, Zhao Gao felt that this Xiaobu was also very interesting, and it seemed that he would have to observe and observe it in the future.

Everyone chatted together for a while, and Li Jiang cooked by himself after he went, because Li Lao had no servants and maidservants, so everything in the house was done by Li Lao and Li Jiang themselves.

Zhao Gao once proposed to send a few servants and maidservants from the Zhao Mansion to Li Jiang, but Li Lao and Li Jiang refused, they felt that everything made sense to do it themselves, not to mention that Li Lao and Li Jiang had been dependent on each other for many years.

"It's okay now, why don't we discuss what to call after the apprenticeship in three days?" After Li Jiang left, Datang was silent for a while, and after sitting for a while, Zhao Gaocai shook his fan and said slowly.

"What is Brother Zhao's opinion?" When Shi Ming saw Zhao Gao's proposal, he knew that he must have a suggestion.

"Look at what is lacking in this Loei province, you make one by one, and three days later, the apprenticeship will be judged by Li Lao, and what is the ranking later?" Zhao Gao said with a smile on his face, this is the focus of his visit today, the furniture in this Li Mansion is really too little, and it is better to add a little more.

Everyone listened to Zhao Gao's suggestion, looked around the lobby, and felt that the furniture was indeed similar and a little less, and this way was very fair, so everyone nodded in agreement.
