Walking on the street with the chief of high, I only listened to the sound of selling and shouting, and the shouting hall was crowded with people and lively as before, and I didn't know that this Beijing was already tense, and there would be earth-shaking changes at any time.

Seeing Lin Wanrong wandering around, picking and picking around, looking for small things that women like, Chief Gao smiled: "It turns out that my brother is really going to have a tryst with which young lady, I thought you were joking with me." Brother is really good-natured, the ladies of the family are all gentle and beautiful, and they have competed in the immortals, but there are still a few small plots outside, such a glamorous blessing, it is really envious of me and others. ”

"Envy what." Lin Wanrong said with a bitter face: "It's not easy for us to be men, not to mention being handsome, but also to be able to make money and coax people, pretending to be Sven during the day and being a beast at night, it is not good to lack any of them." The red flag at home does not fall, and the colorful flags flutter outside, how can it be so easy to do it? ”

Chief Gao laughed when he heard this, and he felt that talking to Brother Lin was better than reading ten Spring Palace picture albums.

Lin Wanrong patted his chest in front of Old Man Xu, and the cowhide blew properly, and he really wanted to give Miss Xu a gift, but he scratched his head. Not to mention the current freezing point of the relationship between the two, just the girl's vision is not an ordinary person who waits for him. It's no wonder that Old Man Xu is like selling old goods, and he would rather lose money himself than push Miss Xu out.

"Brother Lin, what's wrong with you?" Seeing that Lin Wanrong stopped and was silent, Chief Gao glanced at him puzzled, and immediately understood that he was embarrassed, so he picked up a few gouaches from the roadside stalls. Hehe said: "Do you need to think about sending a woman to things?!" Rouge gouache and silk satin to buy a bunch of them, to ensure that she smiles and pesters you, the uncle keeps screaming, the most unfortunate, finds a bunch of silver tickets, smashes the ground and she lies down, hehe. ”

This old boy. It must have been a lot of shopping in the kiln, Lin Wanrong sighed a few times, looked him up and down, and grinned: "Brother Gao, don't you see it, such a learned and insightful word actually came from your mouth?!" Needless to say. You are such a happy guest, the sisters and sisters in the kiln must like it. ”

"She likes me tight, and I like her tight-" The high chief said with deep meaning, and his face was full of **.

"Sure enough, there is depth, little brother admires!" Lin Wanrong gave a thumbs up first. Raise your middle finger again and disdain the old boy for nothing.

walked for a while, but didn't see something that was agreeable, it had to be distinctive, and Xu Zhiqing would never forget it, it was really embarrassing for him.

"Brother Gao, is there a better toy puppet shop in this capital? It is necessary to work well and finely. Lin Wanrong asked the high chief next to him.

Chief Gao has been in Beijing for many years, his shape is familiar, and he has a wide range of contacts, so he nodded when he heard this: "This is naturally there." There is a time-honored store not far in front, called Desheng Loudi. A group of craftsmen were specially gathered to make this marionette and cloth toy place. Why, my brother's family is still going to add a son, so anxious to buy some children's gadgets? ”

Lin Wanrong smiled slightly, didn't answer him, asked him to lead the way, and went straight to the victory building. The scale of the time-honored place is really extraordinary, and as soon as she entered the door, Lin Wanrong was attracted by the situation in front of her. I saw the partitions on the upper and lower floors of the store. It is full of all kinds of strange shapes, dolls, wooden utensils, flowers, birds, fish and insects. Leopards, tigers, beasts, everything.

Lin Wanrong looked up and down, shook her head slowly, and said, "It's small, it's still too small." Shopkeeper, have you ever made anything bigger? Like me! ”

"Sir, such a thing?!" The shopkeeper followed him, and shook his head again and again when he heard the words: "The trumpet has been established for a hundred years, and the largest puppet is a tiger and leopard, and I have never seen such a big thing as Mr. ”

"I'm really not small." Lin Wanrong laughed a few times, muttered a few words in the shopkeeper's ear, the shopkeeper was shocked, looked at him carefully, and said for a long time: "I have never taken over such a business, Mr.'s idea is feasible, but it is feasible, but it is too big to make this thing——"

"What's the instigation? You just say you can do it or you can't do it, right?! "Chief Gao is the leader of the sword guards in the palace, he is used to shouting, he is a temperamental person, he doesn't care what Lin Wanrong wants to do, he heard that this shopkeeper is secretive, so he roared out directly.

He is a person from the emperor's side, this roar is very powerful, the shopkeeper was frightened, his legs trembled, and he stammered: "Official, official spare-"

"What did you say?!" The high chief was furious, slammed the table, blew his beard and glared, "What spare life?" Who do you think of me?! Lao Tzu is to convince people with virtue, and to convince people with virtue - do you understand?! ”

The shameless person who is even more shameless than me has finally appeared! The Lord of the Earth Forest next to him was grateful when he heard this, and he couldn't wait to hold the high chief's hand and laugh three times.

"Don't be afraid." Lin Wanrong said with a smile: "My big brother is just a little strong-tempered, and he has done a lot of things to punish evil hoes and rapes, eliminate violence and peace, and his character is first-class." Just tell me, can you do this thing? How many hours does it take? I'm waiting to use it in a hurry! ”

"I can do it, I can do it!" Seeing that this young gentleman had a black face and white teeth, and a pleasant face, he was much cuter than the fierce god over there, and the shopkeeper nodded busily: "As long as Mr. cooperates a little, I will concentrate the craftsmen in my shop to make this thing before sunset." But the price—" He didn't dare to speak, and glanced cautiously at the High Chief, his face fearful.

"What? Afraid we won't give you silver?! Chief Gao snorted angrily: "Lao Tzu is a man who convinces people with virtue—"

This old boy is here again! Lin Wanrong felt quite funny, if you want to say that you are convincing people with virtue, I, Lin San, am the reincarnation of Guanyin. Seeing that the shopkeeper was silent, for fear of frightening him, Lin Wanrong smiled and said: "Shopkeeper, don't worry, the most respectful thing in my life is the person who eats with real skills." The guys in your shop earn food and support their families by their crafts, and they are not inferior to anyone else, and they are hundreds of times stronger than those corrupt officials and corrupt officials. You just have to mention the price. ”

"Sir's words are heartwarming, just by virtue of your words, I am grateful, and today I will only charge a cost of work - ten taels of silver!" The shopkeeper sighed gratefully, since ancient times, craftsmen have been inferior, and they are more light, and they are high-ranking officials and nobles. No one is willing to speak for this group, but this gentleman dares to risk the world's disapproval and publicly complain for them, how can he not be grateful.

"It's twenty taels." Lin Wanrong smiled and stuffed the silver ticket into his hand: "I can't let my brothers work in vain, can I?" I just hope that the shopkeeper will hurry up and not disappoint me. ”

"Yes, yes, sir, please come with me." The shopkeeper happily accepted the silver ticket. led Lin Wanrong into the inner house, and Chief Gao stayed outside, only listening to the chatter of a group of craftsmen inside, saying that he was too tall for a while, and that his shoulders were too thick for a while. I don't know what Brother Lin is going to do.

After waiting for a while to finish the work, Lin Wanrong lifted the curtain and walked out, smiling, very satisfied with the situation.

"Brother Lin, are you done? What the hell are you going to do with the ground? Chief Gao was already impatient to wait, and when he saw him come out, he hurriedly greeted him and asked.

Let's say it's a thing, it's really not a thing, Lin Wanrong doesn't know how to answer. Only Hehe laughed a few times: "The secret of heaven must not be leaked, you will know when the time comes." ”

Lin Sandi is clever and intelligent. Famous all over the world, Chief Gao naturally would not doubt his ability, gave a thumbs up and smiled: "Lin San shoots, the beauties are all reaped!" Now, I don't know which Miss Di is going to fall, which is really gratifying. ”

Lin Wanrong shuddered, grandma, this old brother is not infected by my land, and he smiles more than me.

"Official. What did you just say? This gentleman's name is Lin San? But what about bombarding Xianfang, reorganizing the school, and holding a hundred industry competitions? The shopkeeper was following behind Lin Wanrong and heard Chief Gao speak. With a light sigh, he was not afraid of the high chief, and hurriedly grabbed his sleeve and asked.

Lin Wanrong said with a smile: "My name is Lin San, and I have also bombarded the Xianfang, but what is this Hundred Industries Competition?" How come I haven't heard of it?! ”

"Oops! Are you really Lord Lin? The little one really has eyes and doesn't know Tarzan! The shopkeeper was pleasantly surprised, trembling and took out the silver ticket from his arms and stuffed it back into Lin Wanrong's hand, and couldn't help but burst into tears: "Little old man is confused, you are a great benefactor of our craftsmen, how can I accept your silver!" This has to be spread out, and it won't be cursed by peers! ”

"Shopkeeper, what are you talking about? What is the Hundred Industries Competition? I couldn't understand a word. Lin Wanrong smiled and stuffed the silver ticket back: "You don't steal or rob, you earn money to eat with your skills, you are bright and bright, Lei Gong will not dare to split you, even if the emperor comes, this silver must be collected correctly." If you refuse, you will look down on me Lin San. ”

"That's it, that's it." Chief Gao said on the side: "What we want is to convince people with virtue, and never take advantage of you." Tell me what the Hundred Industries Competition is all about? ”

Lord Lin insisted on refusing, and the shopkeeper had no choice but to accept the silver ticket, take out a notice from the cabinet, and said happily: "Lord Lin, how could you not know about this, isn't this your announcement out of the ground - today there is a great sacrifice to Lin San, presenting the will of the Son of Heaven, preparing for the establishment of the Shengde College, promoting skills, teaching all industries, selecting the world's skilled craftsmen, choosing those who are capable and taking them, and selecting those who are excellent and encouraging them." Hundreds of industries compete, encourage creation, each take the number of first, and give heavy rewards - Lord Lin, this notice is posted all over the streets and alleys, with your famous name on it, and the emperor's royal pen inscription, isn't this what you mean? ”

This is true of my meaning, but I have grown so big, I have only published blackboard newspapers, and I have never published notices. Lin Wanrong took the notice in his hand and looked at it over and over, the handwriting was neat and rigorous, the old emperor's seal letter was impressive, and the momentum was so big, it seemed that this matter could not be faked.

I see! Lin Wanrong clapped her hands violently, looking overjoyed, Qingxuanna, you are really my good wife, this thing is a hundred times better than I did it myself.

"Lord Lin, you don't know the power of this notice." The shopkeeper wiped his tears: "For generations, we craftsmen have been looked down upon, and no one wants to come to learn this, thinking it is cheap." Because of this, many local crafts have no successors, and they are about to be lost, and the treasures handed down by the ancestors have been wasted in the hands of our unscrupulous descendants, and we have a guilty conscience. But as soon as you put up this notice, it will be different—"

The shopkeeper's eyebrows fluttered. Waved his hand excitedly: "There is a golden pen and jade seal, and the emperor's order is inscribed, so I don't know how many mouths are blocked." This is not a notice, this is our craftsman Dienko! You don't know how many trades and lives it has saved - my lord, I kowtow to you! ”

The shopkeeper bowed to the ground, kowtowing desperately, seeing the little old man crying with a headache, Lin Wanrong was startled, and hurriedly grabbed him: "It's just a trivial matter." Shopkeeper, don't you give me my life, I can't stand it! ”

"It's a small thing for adults, but it's a great thing for craftsmen like us, and it's a great thing for future generations and infinite blessings, my lord. You don't know how many craftsmen offer incense and worship for you, you are our Guanyin Bodhisattva who saves suffering. ”

Worship a fart, I'm in the prime of spring and autumn. Lin Wanrong couldn't laugh or cry, but she was pleasantly surprised, she didn't expect this to be even better than she imagined. Qingxuan really knows it in my heart.

"If the industry is prosperous, the country will be strong, and if the industry is wasted, the country will decline. Lin Wanrong sighed, shopkeeper, please tell the big guy, this school will be run by President Lin San for a long time, as long as it is a talent, as long as you have outstanding craftsmanship and outstanding innovation, I will definitely reward and reuse. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he pulled his legs and left, his steps were so hurried that even the high chief couldn't catch up with him.

Brother Lin, what's wrong? Chief Gao's heart was full of doubts.

I traveled a few miles in one go. Lin Wanrong's suppressed mood was released a little, and he slowly stopped. Staring faintly into the distance, I don't know where my mind has flown to.

"Brother Lin, Brother Lin-" Chief Gao woke him up with a few soft exhalations, he nodded and smiled hurriedly: "Brother Gao, what's the matter?" ”

Chief Gao was puzzled: "Brother Lin, what's wrong with you?" I've seen you smile more than anyone else, but I've never seen you like this. ”

"It's nothing, I just think that our people in Dahua are really very simple. Something that should have been done a long time ago. It took hundreds of years to come late, but they were told to run and rejoice—only to learn to be grateful. But forgetting accountability, what could be more simple than that? ”

Seeing Lin Wanrong's depressed expression, Chief Gao shook his head and said, "Brother Lin, what you said is too profound, I don't understand, I only know one thing - it's better to be late than not to come!" ”

Lin Wanrong was stunned for a moment, and suddenly laughed and said: "Brother Gao, it's not that you don't understand, you are great wisdom, great wisdom!" ”

After a few words with Chief Gao, his mood gradually improved, and his mind became much more active, thinking that those things that had nothing to do were useful, and it was important to do something serious.

Speaking of business, Chief Gao was also energetic: "Brother Lin, which lady are you going to tryst with today?" I'll go and find out for you. ”

Lin Wanrong didn't answer him, and took him forward in a hurry, Gao Chieftain looked at the surrounding scenery, it was very familiar, and couldn't help but exclaim: "Hey, isn't this going back to the house?" Brother Lin, do you want to see the princess, or Qiaoqiao and Mrs. Ning'er?! ”

Why did this old brother become stupid, looking at my ghostly and happy appearance, like going home to see his wife? It's clear that I'm going to meet the little secret! Lin Wanrong sighed: "Brother Gao, don't speak, stay vigilant, there is a vicious dog ahead." ”

Chief Gao took the lead in protecting him, and then looked at him looking at the Xu Mansion with his head probed, and suddenly understood, and was shocked and deeply admired: Brother Lin dared to have a tryst with Lord Xu's daughter under the noses of the ladies, this ability, this courage, invincible!

"Brother Lin, do you want to go in? Ladders are always available for you. Seeing that he stared at the wall of the courtyard of Xufu without saying a word, Chief Gao couldn't help but smile and said secretly.

Damn, I'm still addicted to the wall, this vicious dog in Xufu is three points more powerful than me, how can I easily provoke it! He smiled: "Brother Gao, you don't know, I have a habit, whenever I enter my yard, I like to climb the wall." If you want to enter someone else's house, you have to carry a large sedan chair inside. ”

Are you going to steal someone's land, and you can carry a sedan chair in? Chief Gao snickered a few times and didn't speak, and the look on his face clearly had four big words written - I don't believe it!

"Brother Gao, don't you believe it?" Lin Wanrong smiled coquettishly: "Could it be that you forgot what my name is?!" I Lin San want to do something, when did I miss it?! ”

This is not bragging, I really haven't heard that Lin San has a negligent record, Gao Chief's eyes blinked, and he was about to speak, when he suddenly heard the noise of gongs and drums in the distance, and the cannon battle was all famous, and slowly walked a big sedan chair, no more, no less, it was eight lifts!

The eight-carrying sedan chair stopped in front of the Xu Mansion, and a ceremonial official sang loudly to the gift list: "He Miss Xu is young and beautiful, and she will give a birthday ceremony, please smile - well-known is not available, and unknown is not available!" ”
