Chapter 7: Seeing the elders, take gifts
Wang Lang looked at the old man Liu holding the words given by the emperor, humming a little song, and staggering away, this is angry and helpless in his heart, who made this family his grandfather, who made this old man a character who even his father was afraid of.
"Do you need such xx behavior to become a national soldier?"
Wang Lang thought depressedly in his heart.
Old man Liu also left, his father and eldest brother also went to work, Wang Lang sat bored on the steps at the door of his small courtyard and didn't know what to do.
"Do something? Burning glass? But my brother is a scholar. Making soap? Or chemistry. Making perfumes? I don't know the recipe for making perfume. Damn, what can my brother do? ”
Wang Lang slapped his thigh and roared loudly. Fluttershy, who was kneeling in the room, heard that her young master was sick again, and quickly got up to take a look, but she knelt for too long and fell to the ground after not standing still. Wang Lang also rushes in when he hears the sound in the house, and when he sees Fluttershy who has fallen, Wang Lang quickly helps Fluttershy up and says
"Why are you so careless? Did you fall? ”
Fluttershy says with a blushing face
"Young master, I'm fine, it's just that I've been kneeling for a long time. It'll be fine in a while. ”
When Wang Lang heard it, "Kneel, kneel and sit." So he yelled excitedly
"yes, I didn't think of that."
Wang Lang yells again, so frightened that Fluttershy almost falls. Fluttershy looked at Wang Lang with teary eyes and said eagerly
"Young master, you have hysteria again, I'll go find Madame."
After that, I was going to go out. Wang Lang didn't look right. Quickly grabs Fluttershy and says
"Fluttershy, Master is fine."
But Fluttershy still looks at Wang Lang with suspicion, Wang Lang is so depressed. Said helplessly
"Fluttershy, the young master is serious. Didn't mess with you. The young master wants to invent something. ”
Fluttershy says
"Young Master, what do you want to invent?"
Wang Lang said with a mysterious smile
"Secret."
Ignoring Fluttershy's stunned expression, she enters the room, spreads out the rice paper, and begins to draw. Fluttershy follows Wang Lang to see what her young master wants to invent. In the end, after Wang Lang wasted thirty pieces of rice paper, he still didn't draw it. When Fluttershy shows signs of dozing off on the side, Wang Lang finally gives up. Wang Lang looked at his wasted rice paper speechlessly
"I wanted to draw a three-dimensional one. I didn't expect my brother's painting level to be so poor, so let's draw stick figures. ”
So I drew a stick figure again, saying that the stick figure is actually a messy sketch, and it is a little difficult for others to understand it except Wang Lang himself.
Looking at what he had finished, Wang Lang woke up Fluttershy, who was falling asleep next to him, and said
"Fluttershy, wake up and tell the family to find some good carpenters."
Fluttershy, who is sleepy-eyed, answers and leaves. It takes an hour for Fluttershy to return with her three old carpenters. The three old carpenters bowed when they saw Wang Langna, and Wang Lang said to the three carpenters with a smile
"Three old people, don't be polite, I want to ask the three of you to do me a favor today."
One of them looked like a leading carpenter and said
"What the young master commands, it is."
Wang Lang smiled and took out the drawings he had drawn and said
"Three, can you make these things?"
The three old carpenters took the drawings and looked at them for a long time, but they didn't see the reason. So one of them had the audacity to say
"I don't know what this painting is, young master. The old three didn't see it. ”
Wang Lang's originally smiling face immediately froze. So Wang Lang said embarrassedly
"Three, this is a chair, with armrests and backrests, it's very comfortable to sit on. I don't know if I can make it. ”
The three old carpenters were originally elites in the industry who had been carpenters all their lives. The more you listen, the brighter your eyes become. When Wang Lang finished speaking, one of the carpenters said
"Young master, you can do it, you can do it, seven days, oh no, you can do it in five days."
Wang Lang said with satisfaction
"Okay, I'll pick it up in five days. By the way, three people, and a chair with a special point. ”
Wang Lang talked about the characteristics of the Taishi chair. The three old carpenters also nodded their heads again and again, saying that there was no problem. It will also be delivered in five days. In this way, Wang Lang sent the three of them away.
When the three carpenters had left for less than half an hour, Mrs. Wang came to Wang Lang's courtyard and saw Wang Lang sitting on the steps with a smile on his face, not knowing what he was thinking. So he walked over and said
"Fang'er, what do you think, so happy. Do you have a crush on which girl? Tell my mother about it. ”
Wang Lang was still immersed in the vanity of being a great inventor, and suddenly someone called him, but when he saw his mother by his side, he hurriedly got up and said
"Mother, what's the matter. I just made something and will send it in a few days. ”
Mrs. Wang looked at Wang Lang puzzled and said
"What a thing?"
Wang Lang said with a smile
"Keep it secret, when it comes, send it to my mother as soon as possible."
Mrs. Wang said with a smile
"Okay, mom wait."
Then he continued
"Fang'er, the second highness is down. I said I was looking for you to go out for a walk. ”
Wang Lang was stunned and said
"Mother, when did these two highnesses become so attentive to me? Didn't you just leave our house? Why is it here again? ”
Mrs. Wang said with a smile
"No matter what, remember what your grandfather said, our family is loyal to Your Majesty."
Wang Lang nodded and said
"Mother, I know, I'll go to meet His Royal Highness."
Wang Lang's tone was quite a bit windy and cold. Mrs. Wang looked at her youngest son and shook her head with a smile.
As soon as Wang Lang walked into the hall, he saw Zhao Xiang, the second highness. Wang Lang said with a smile
"Wang Lang has seen His Second Highness, I don't know why His Royal Highness came to me?"
Zhao Xiang knelt on the soft couch and quickly stood up and said when he saw Wang Lang coming in
"Didn't Brother Wei Fang say that he would call me Brother Xiang? Let's go, I'm looking for you. ”
As he spoke, he pulled Wang Lang out. Wang Lang didn't know what made Zhao Xiang so anxious. So he said
"Brother Xiang, please wait a moment, my little brother and my mother will talk about it."
At this time, Mrs. Wang also walked in and said
"Fang'er, go ahead, remember to drink less."
Zhao Xiang saw that Mrs. Wang had already agreed, and bowed to Mrs. Wang and said
"Mrs. Xie Wang, Brother Wei Fang and I will go out first."
After speaking, he pulled Wang Lang out of the door. Wang Lang looked at Zhao Xiang speechlessly and said
"Brother Xiang, where are you pulling me to?"
Zhao Xiang said with a strange expression
"Brother Wei Fang still remembers that in the morning I said, one of my elders heard you compose a lyric and told my father."
Wang Lang nodded, and Zhao Xiang continued
"It's my brother, my elder, who wants to see you. Chat with you. ”
Wang Lang suddenly said
"I thought something was wrong. It turned out to be to see the prince. Wait, I'm going to buy two catties of beef, and I'm going to see the elders, how can I not get something. ”
As he spoke, he ran to a nearby restaurant.
This time, Zhao Xiang was dumbfounded
"Do you have any beef for visiting the elders?"
Zhao Xiang thought strangely in his heart. By the time Zhao Xiang followed, Wang Lang had already bought two catties of sauced beef, and by the way, he also bought a jar of wine. Zhao Xiang is speechless. Said
"Brother Wei Fang, my elder doesn't lack anything, so I really don't need to take it."
Wang Lang said seriously
"Brother Xiang, why don't you go to see the elders and take something? It's the most basic courtesy, you know? That's why I'm doing this because you're a good friend. If it were someone else, I wouldn't have bothered to buy anything. ”
The corners of Zhao Xiang's mouth twitched, and he really didn't know what to say.
