Chapter 167: It's not a big problem
It only took one day for Ma Chun to bring detailed information about Peng Qiao.
Peng Qiao is nineteen years old this year, and her mother is Xu Chunfen, Peng Zhenyuan's fourth concubine.
Xu Chunfen offended many people in the Peng family because of Peng Qiao's quirk of biting people, plus she was old and decrepit and had no son, so she was not easy to live in the Peng family. Similarly, because Xu Chunfen has no status in the Peng family, and her mother's family is just an ordinary merchant, Peng Qiao is not welcome in the Peng family.
The mother and daughter can be said to depend on each other in the Peng family, and Peng Qiao's daily life is all taken care of by Xu Chunfen. And Peng Qiao's quirk of biting people can only be endured by Xu Chunfen.
It can be said that Peng Qiao's only relative is only Xu Chunfen. As long as Xu Chunfen can be persuaded to come to Lin Ji Inn, the Peng family will no longer have anything worthy of Peng Qiao's nostalgia.
Lin Dong put down his cultivation and prepared gifts to visit Peng's family in person. Everything went well, Peng Zhenyuan was a little hesitant at first, after all, the person Lin Dong wanted this time was always his concubine. The rumors went out, and the reputation was not very good.
But when he saw Lin Dong take out the Pure Yang Sword, the conversation immediately changed, and he agreed very crisply.
Xu Chunfen was smoother than Lin Dong expected. Originally, he thought that Xu Chunfen wanted to persuade her to go to Lin Ji Inn for the sake of her future life, but she would have to spend a lot of words. didn't think that in Xu Chunfen's eyes, Peng Qiao was already her only one, and after knowing that Peng Qiao was given away by Peng Zhenyuan, she had been looking for death for a day. After learning about Lin Dong's intention, he agreed with red and swollen eyes without thinking about it.
Arriving at the backyard of the Lin Ji Inn, Lin Dong grabbed the reins and said behind him, "Madam, it's already here." ”
Xu Chunfen hurriedly lifted the curtain, and jumped down first without waiting for Lin Dong to get out of the car to help.
Taking Xu Chunfen back to the backyard, Peng Qiao's room was not locked, and with a slight push, the door slowly opened.
The girl's room, how to avoid suspicion, Lin Dong did not look inside, but turned sideways to get out of the way.
"Thank you, Shopkeeper Lin." Xu Chunfen thanked him and walked in quickly.
There was no sound for a long time, Lin Dong was waiting a little impatiently at the door, and Xu Chunfen walked out, but he didn't invite him in.
"Shopkeeper Lin, Xiaoxiao has already slept, can I talk to you?"
"Absolutely." Lin Dong nodded and asked in the direction of the stone table in the courtyard, "How is it there?" ”
Xu Chunfen nodded.
Sitting down at the stone table, Xu Chunfen suddenly said, "Shopkeeper Lin, thank you, Xiaoxiao has never slept so peacefully before." Before, she would wake up at the slightest noise. ”
"That's good, I'm worried she'll not get used to staying at the inn." Lin Dong smiled, 4 times the comfort bonus, if you want to sleep badly, it's a difficult thing.
Xu Chunfen glanced at Lin Dong's arm, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Shopkeeper Lin, when Xiaoxiao bit you, didn't you push her away?" ”
Lin Dong nodded.
"Why?" Xu Chunfen asked.
Lin Dong smiled bitterly: "I said I didn't want to disappoint her, do you believe it?" ”
Xu Chunfen nodded lightly, sighed and said: "The small head is confused, but the heart is not confused, she is more sensitive than anyone else." Who willingly let her bite, she knows best. ”
Lin Dong was silent, he could hear the desolation and sadness in Xu Chunfen's tone.
"Shopkeeper Lin, you took Xiaoxiao to the inn, do you want her to help you make something?" Xu Chunfen asked.
Lin Dong nodded, except for the unbelievable idea, he did not hide any plans to do everything possible to leave Peng Qiao in the inn.
Xu Chunfen smiled helplessly: "I'm afraid that Shopkeeper Lin is going to be disappointed, Peng Zhenyuan has also tried to make some crossbow arrows powered by spirit stones before, but the results are extremely low, although there are also several kinds of crossbow arrows, which are a few points stronger than ordinary crossbow arrows, but the cost is dozens of times, and none of them are suitable for mass manufacturing." ”
"Madam, don't worry, what I asked Peng Qiao to make is not suitable for mass manufacturing, and it doesn't matter if the cost is high." Lin Dong shook his head and said, "Even if I fail, I will never complain." ”
"This ......" Xu Chunfen hesitated, a little unsure whether what Lin Dong said was the truth. If it weren't for the truth, the surnames of his mother and daughter would be in the hands of others, and once the silver was lost too much, it was likely to be angered because of this.
Lin Dong said with a straight face: "If Madam still doesn't believe it, you can observe it for a month or two, if you really think that I, Lin Dong, am the kind of person who doesn't believe in my words, you can leave as soon as possible when my loss is not too heavy." If Madame really wants to die to force her, I believe that no one will do that kind of thing that harms others and is not beneficial to herself. ”
Xu Chunfen was silent, and there was only so much she could do. In any case, it is impossible to leave now.
Lin Dong took out a 10,000 taels of silver ticket that he had prepared, put it on the table, and pushed it forward: "This is 10,000 taels of silver ticket, although it is not much, but it should be Peng Qiao's salary for a year." Madame can take the time to buy some property, and she will have something to rely on in the future. ”
Xu Chunfen waved his hand again and again: "Peng Qiao hasn't made anything for Shopkeeper Lin yet, how can there be a reason to receive remuneration first?" What's more, 10,000 taels of silver is too much. ”
Lin Dong smiled: "Ten thousand taels is just a salary for nothing." As well as success, there will be additional rewards. ”
"This ......"
"Madame, take it! Some industries, not only Mrs. Lin Dong persuaded: "Peng Qiao can also have a person to rely on in the future." ”
Xu Chunfen's heart darkened, and she immediately nodded and picked up the silver ticket.
"Madam, I want to make things made by Peng Qiao ...... now" Lin Dong took out a copper card, pointed to the dragon body on the front and said: "I want to make a mechanism smaller than the dragon body, this mechanism not only contains the location of the spirit stone, but also needs this mechanism to be placed in the dragon body, and the spirit energy contained in the spirit stone can be guided into the position of the dragon head at any time." ”
The mechanism that activated the aura in the spirit stone was easy for Peng Qiao, Xu Chunfen felt at ease in her heart, thought about it for a moment, and said slowly: "If it's just like this, it shouldn't be difficult." ”
"Isn't it difficult?" Lin Dong was stunned, this mechanism was only the size of peanuts, and in this world, it was already an extremely sophisticated mechanism. Based on this alone, there are only a handful of people who can make it in the Great Han Kingdom.
"Xiao Xiao has made a copper cicada that can flap its wings before, although it is larger than this dragon's body, but it is not a big problem to shrink a little more." Xu Chunfen asked, "I wonder if Shopkeeper Lin has any other requirements?" ”
"Two more requirements." Lin Dong explained: "First, the spirit stone can be loaded and unloaded, and secondly, even if someone gets this card and asks the master of the mechanism to study it, they will not be able to create the same mechanism. ”
"The first one is easy to do." Xu Chunfen hesitated: "The second ...... Although Xiao Xiao hadn't made this kind of mechanism that only needed to draw out the aura before, the mechanisms she made before all contained this function, and as long as one or two random pieces were obtained by the mechanism master, it was easy to study. ”
"Madame, do you remember how many of these traps Xiao Xiao made in total?" Lin Dong asked.
"Remember, there were seventy-nine pieces in total, and most of them were small gadgets that I liked. There are three pieces that were made according to Peng Zhenyuan's requirements, including a crossbow, a mechanical bronze that imitates the mechanical technique and the spirit array, and a second-order spiritual array that can be moved and activated at any time. ”
"These things, I will find a way to find the Peng family to come back." Lin Dong arched his hand and said: "As for Peng Qiao, please ask Mrs. to bother, in terms of materials and life, what is lacking can be raised." ”
Xu Chunfen affirmed: "If there are enough good blacksmiths and materials, and there are no accidents, it should be able to be manufactured within two months." ”
Lin Dong is overjoyed, although two months is a little longer, but as long as the problems of anti-theft and strengthening the attraction can be solved, the VIP card that came out again will not only be as simple as increasing repeat customers, but also become another big advantage of the inn.
