Chapter 95, Li Kang's bicycle
"None down there?"
Li Dang took the holy decree and asked playfully.
"The official family has no other orders!"
Liang Weijian looked at Li Kang with a serious face, he had been tricked by the young and ghostly Zhao Ji before, and knew the black taste of the sentence "There is no more below", he thought that Li Kang was also like Zhao Ji, he was playing with him, and he was faintly unhappy in his heart.
"It's really not," Li Dang unfolded the holy decree, glanced at it himself, and sure enough, he didn't mention the matter of marriage, he sighed and said to Liang Weijian, "Maybe I will have to bother Lord Liang again in the near future, and go to Xiaguan's new mansion to pass the decree." ”
Wen Wan and Xu Xian'er looked at each other, both of them buried their heads and did not speak, they knew that Li Dang and Liang Weijian's words were mainly to comfort them.
Although Liang Weijian was a little unhappy because of Li Kang's joke just now, when he saw a huge glass vase held out by Gao Yu, the wrinkles on his face all condensed to the corners of his eyes.
"This, this, no merit!" Liang Weijian pretended to excuse himself.
"Where, where, there are still many places where the lower officials need Lord Liang's help in the future, a small vase, not a tribute, please smile." Li dared to ask people to send the vase to Liang Weijian's sedan chair.
When Liang Weijian hugged the colorful glass vase and left, Xu Xian'er and Wen Wan sighed, looked at Li Kang, and went back to their boudoir without saying a word.
When they left, they all looked back at Li Kang, as if to say, "Brother Li, you see, our worries are not superfluous. ”
In Xu Xian'er and Wen Wan's hearts, Boss Zhao did not give marriage, it must have been because Zhao Ying stopped him.
"It's okay, it's okay, let's take you to visit Brother Li's new mansion first, you must dress up this new mansion more festively!" Li Dare said loudly to everyone in the medical hall, of course, he was also saying to Xu Xian'er and Wen Wan.
But Wen Wan and the others had no intention of following at all, and left directly.
Li Dare took the wooden box that Liang Weijian gave him just now, took out the deed inside, and took Gao Yu and the others to visit the new mansion.
As soon as he got out of the medical hall, Li Dang raised his head, his thick eyebrows suddenly condensed together, and he saw that the servant sent by Wang Jue was still kneeling on the ground, it was noon at this time, although it was still April, but the direct sunlight still made the servant sweat all over the ground.
"You go back," Li Dare said, "Go back and tell Wang Xianggong, just say that Li has been ordered to accept the new mansion, this Liao people's affairs are not in a hurry, Li will make the Liao people obedient." ”
The man heard that Li Kang's words still didn't mean to go to Wang Qi's mansion with him, he didn't say anything, he still knelt on the ground and couldn't get up, but the direction of kneeling changed direction with Li Kang's movement.
"Quickly pick him up and send him back to the Prime Minister's Mansion," Li Dang instructed Gao Yu, "If you ask me, let those Liao people come to my new mansion in Kangle Fang to find me." ”
Gao Yu got Li Kang's order, called a few people, set up the servants, led the horses, and went to Wang Qi's mansion.
Watching Gao Yu walk away, Li Dang took a few subordinates, rode a bicycle by himself, and headed towards the new mansion.
That's right, it's a bike!
This is one of Li Kang's latest inventions in Bianjing City, and he made his iron shop cast a triangular iron frame according to the drawings he had designed.
The Song Dynasty did not have rubber wheels, so Li Kang had to remove two wooden wheels from a small carriage and wrap the periphery with iron sheets.
Without a chain belt, Li Kang designed a set of gears and made a front-wheel drive bicycle, but the front wheel of this car is very large, and the rear wheel is very small, which looks very funny.
After the car was made, it was still able to hit the road, but it was a little bumpy, but fortunately, the bluestone road in Bianjing City was quite smooth, and Li Dang made two more shock absorbers with springs, which were installed under his own saddle, and it was a lot more comfortable to ride.
Li Kang once asked Gao Yu to learn how to ride a bicycle, but Gao Yu fell twice on the car and was unwilling to learn.
After the others got into the car, none of them could step on the pedals for a while. When they saw Li Dang, as soon as he got up, he drove like a fly, and they all sighed as immortals.
Immortals are immortals!
All the people who have seen the bicycle in Bianjing City have cast admiring glances at Li Kang, they don't know that in another space, Li Kang broke his knee in order to learn to ride a bicycle well.
Li Dang held the iron handle in front and rode a bicycle, and the people behind him trotted all the way, followed Li Kang quickly, and got up behind and shouted: "Be careful, be careful, the bicycle is coming, be careful when walking." ”
The subordinates first shouted "The bicycle is coming, quickly avoid", but Li Dang felt that this cry was too bureaucratic, and he made a bicycle ride, just like an official going out on patrol, he felt that he should be more down-to-earth, so he changed it to the shouting sound above.
Of course, Li Dang tried to install a bell on the handle, and when he encountered a pedestrian blocking the road in front of him, he rang the bell to warn. But when the people of the Song Dynasty saw Li Kang's bicycle, they were all surprised, and when they saw the bell, they surrounded them one by one.
Li Kang later learned that it turned out that when the imperial court usually announced any edicts and notices that needed to be informed, they often sent people with bells to the neighborhood to shake the bells, and waited for everyone to gather, and then the edict officials issued the edicts and notices.
Knowing that others had mistaken him for an edict, Li Dang decisively discarded the bell and adopted the primitive voice warning.
After a long time, although the people in Bianjing City were full of curiosity about Li Kang's bicycle generation, as soon as they heard the cries of the people, they would still dodge to the side one by one and watch Li Kang driving this strange wooden wheel and iron frame from a distance.
But today, there is a person who saw the car coming from a distance but did not avoid it.
Not only did he not dodge, but he also reached out to intercept it.
"It's Qin Guan!"
Li Dare saw clearly that it was no one else who intercepted him, it was his good brother Qin Guan.
"Brake quickly!" Li dared to shout loudly.
There are no disc brakes, and there are no drum brakes, Li Kang installed two oak blocks on both sides of the wheels, and the braking effect is not good.
The subordinates heard Li Kang's shout, and hurriedly pulled into the hemp rope in their hands, which was tied to the iron frame of Li Kang's bicycle.
Li Dang jumped off the bicycle and threw it to a nearby subordinate to help him. He quickly ran to Qin Guan: "Brother Qin, looking for me?" ”
"Lee, Lee, Brother Xian! Something happened to the teacher's wife, she, she was arrested by the Liao. ”
Qin Guan was sweating profusely, his face was pale, and he could see that in order to find Li Kang, he came all the way and ran a lot.
"Let's go, let's go rescue the teacher!" Li Dare dragged Qin Guan away.
"Virtuous brother, virtuous brother, and slow, the post house where the Liao people live is in the north!"
Qin observed that there was something wrong with the direction Li Dare was going.
"Oh, let's go to the mansion of Prime Minister Wang Jue first, and we'll go there to save the teacher's wife!" Li dared to say.
