In the Tang Dynasty, there were very few people riding in carriages, and the practice of riding horses was extremely prosperous. As long as conditions permit, that is, they can afford to buy horses, not only men, but also female dependents often ride out on horseback.

As for the sedan chair carried by people, in the Tang Dynasty, it was called "shoulder", "step", "waist" and "eaves", which were usually the means of travel for the old, young, sick, disabled and pregnant.

Therefore, Xu Qilin didn't want to be guilty of riding in a car, and he also felt that a man riding a horse could show his masculine and heroic side.

Although the seat is not a famous horse such as "Ferrari" and "Lamborghini", it can be regarded as a BYD with low consumption, safety and smooth driving four-hoof. In this regard, Xu Qilin is still very satisfied.

Chenjiazhuang is next to Xujiazhuang, but the field is much larger, as if there is no deep background, it is an old landlord, as if he is still in business.

Anyway, the impression that the old landlord Chen gave Xu Qilin was like this. With a round figure and a chubby face, he said that he was a rich man, and his words and expressions still revealed the shrewdness and philistine of a businessman.

Although Xu Qilin is not a living **, he has no intention of coercing Entu.

Sending Chen Mengwei home, ending the situation that he was looking for chickens and dogs, he politely refused the old landlord's kind invitation, did not even enter the gate, and went back to his Zhuangzi directly after a few polite words.

"The crazy girl of Old Cai's family?" Xu An heard this, and showed in front of Xu Qilin that he knew a lot, "I heard that it was the eldest daughter, and when she was a child, there were thieves at home, and she was frightened and crazy. ”

"Burglary thieves?" Xu Qilin felt that this thief was bold enough, should he also strengthen his precautions?

Xu An nodded and said, "The government has made a decision, and it has also caught two thieves." ”

"There's no thieves around here now, have you?" Xu Qilin is more concerned about this issue of public security.

"There are petty thefts, but they don't make a big fuss." Xu An continued: "Later, the Chen family looked for medical advice everywhere, but they didn't cure this crazy girl. Seeing that he is getting older, he wants to find someone to marry, and the dowry is rich, but he has never been suitable. ”

Heal the neuropathy, future generations will not dare to say this, let alone now.

And if you want to marry off a crazy daughter, it's not enough to have a rich dowry, and you have to worry that a man with bad intentions will treat his daughter harshly if he marries him for money!

Xu Qilin shook his head slightly, but he was very sympathetic to Chen Laocai. It's sad enough for someone to have such a thing.

Xu An obviously lacked such sympathy, laughed twice, and said: "Just rely on his Chen family, and he still wants to beat our Zhuangzi's idea!" Hehe, don't inquire, the Xu family is something that he can covet as a rich man? ”

Xu Qilin laughed twice and said: "It has been a bit difficult in the past two years, Zhuangzi relies on Uncle An to maintain it, add input to the family, and do not sell land and houses." ”

Xu An hurriedly expressed his humility and even said that this was his duty.

Xu Qilin casually inquired about the situation in the surrounding Zhuangzi, and asked about the progress of digging ponds and making fertilizer by the way.

"Oh, the old man has to go and see how the lime burns, and he has to keep an eye on the pond, and the money account room is not a supervisor, don't let these guys just eat and drink without working." Xu An seemed to be reminded and hurriedly left.

If you want to talk about loyalty, Xu An didn't say it. But it's a bit calculating, not so generous, and the level of education is not high.

Stingy, think about it, you can understand, if it is not for careful planning, the difficult period after the death of Lao Xu and his wife is really difficult to survive.

At that time, the Xu Qilin brothers were still young and did not understand the management of Zhuangzi. Thanks to Xu Hui's secret help, Xu An's loyalty and dedication prevented him from selling his property.

Now, although Xu Qilin is still a twelve-year-old child, he is full of confidence and is moving towards the road of getting rich. When the funds accumulate more, he will not move forward, but will run away.

was looking forward to a better life with thousands of pockets and a group of wives and concubines, Xu Bao came to report with the steamed fragrant dew.

"Erlang, this has been steamed three times, I don't know if it meets the requirements." Xu Bao opened the cork of the bottle, and the fragrance came to his nose.

Xu Qilin rolled his eyes, how could anyone smell perfume like this, it was not professional at all. He took the vial, fanned it lightly with his hand, letting the fragrance into his nose, and nodded lightly with some intoxication.

Xu Bao has become accustomed to Xu Qilin's inspection methods, and he is a little apprehensive and a little expectant waiting for the evaluation of the head of the family.

"Okay, that's fine." Xu Qilin finally nodded in approval, and said with a smile: "It's really hard, I will go to the account room tomorrow to pay two hundred rewards." ”

Xu Bao hurriedly thanked him deeply, overjoyed.

Xu Qilin said with a deep groan: "This workshop will be handed over to you to take care of, and the steamed fragrant dew will be delivered to the mansion of Chang'an City every ten days." Output, let's keep it at the current level; If you want to increase it, I will command it. ”

"Yes, the little ones understand." Xu Bao immediately felt that his status was a little higher, and he was no longer an ordinary servant, but equivalent to being in charge.

Xu Qilin looked at Xu Bao appreciatively and said, "Tomorrow I will produce with all my strength, and I will work overtime at night, how much can I produce." The day after tomorrow, I will take it back to Chang'an. ”

Xu Bao blinked his eyes and said, "The little one will tell the workers in the workshop that they will take turns working overtime tonight to produce as much output as possible." ”

Xu Bao learned the word worker from Xu Qilin, and now it is smooth to say.

Xu Qilin thought for a while and said, "It's okay." You go to the day shift and the night shift, don't let the workers be too tired; The salary will rise by three cents. ”

"Erlang rest assured, the little one will be arranged, it will definitely be appropriate." Xu Bao saluted again and turned away.

It's a big thing! Xu Qilin took the vial, smelled the fragrance, and was simply overjoyed.

Perfumes, as well as flower water with added medicinal herbs, are rare and rare in the Tang Dynasty. For the Tang people who love to catch up with fashion and fashion, it is an irresistible temptation!

……………

A day later, after dinner in the morning, Xu Qilin took dozens of catties of perfume made by overtime and embarked on the road back to Chang'an in high spirits.

On the side of the open-top carriage carrying goods, there was a family of carpenters Sun, and the little girl looked around curiously.

That's right, Xu Qilin found a maid for her sister, who is the "wild" girl Sun Sanni.

It's not that she looks like a flower, but that her father's craftsmanship conquered Xu Qilin and became a long-term craftsman in Xufu, and by the way, she was also brought along.

Sun Asi's carpenter work is good, and his wife Sun Li is good at carving in addition to her hands. It may be a woman's relationship, and it is more suitable to do this kind of delicate work.

"Eighty thousand". Xu Qilin is playing with a wooden card in his hand, the edges and corners have been polished, and if he makes more than 100 pieces, he can play mahjong crackling!

Of course, playing mahjong is not in a hurry, Xu Qilin's task now is to carve small wooden soldiers, cavalry, and infantry; Subdivided, there are also Mo swordmen, spearmen, crossbowmen, and so on.
