Chapter 349: Competition
"But I've heard...... Then Concubine He's brother just got two sons, and now Concubine He has this kind of thing happening again, I'm afraid that her brother will hate her to death, right? Lin Wan'er sighed, the fates of Concubine He and Concubine De were completely different.
Even if Concubine De made a mistake, as long as the scholar's family did not make a mistake, Concubine De was only grounded and locked up. But Concubine He is different, one person makes a mistake and affects the whole family, and even the two newborn nephews are affected.
Su Xiaoya also sighed, shook her head and said, "If Concubine He could have thought of herself and her family earlier, she wouldn't have done such a thing." ”
Lin Wan'er thought so, so she didn't talk about it anymore.
The craftsmanship of the craftsmen invited by Su Xiaoya was praised by everyone in the city, so even if Su Xiaoya only gave the craftsman a drawing, the craftsman made the massage chair by force.
"Although the drawings drawn by Madame are not very easy to understand, I have done half a lifetime of handicraft work, and I can still understand this thing." The craftsman said with a smug smile.
Su Xiaoya was grateful to this craftsman and couldn't wait to sit down and feel it.
Although this massage chair is not the same as the electric one she used at the beginning, it is also a hands-free existence, Su Xiaoya immediately gave the silver to the craftsman very happily: "Sir, this drawing is mine, and Mr. must know the rules here, right?" ”
The craftsman waved his hand indifferently and said, "Of course I know. The drawings are yours, and if I want to use them, I have to buy them, otherwise I will never be able to make this thing myself and sell it privately! Madam, I have been doing the craft for so many years, how can I not know this rule? ”
Hearing the craftsman's words that he didn't care too much, Su Xiaoya breathed a sigh of relief. Come to think of it, this craftsman has done half a lifetime of craftsmanship, and the drawings of those strange things he must have seen are more attractive than his own massage chair, this craftsman has no ideas, and he must not be the kind of villain.
After giving the craftsman's due wages to the craftsman, Lin Wan'er on the side asked softly, "I wonder if Mr. would like to make one for my father?" I can pay you a little more. ”
Ordinary people are reluctant to do other people's drawings for the second time, which is also the stinky problem of these craftsmen, Lin Wan'er knows this, so she asks like this.
The craftsman had seen Lin Wan'er, and naturally knew that Lin Wan'er was the daughter of the city lord, so he hurriedly said: "It's naturally my honor to be able to make this kind of thing for the city lord, and you don't have to pay this salary, I'll come by myself." ”
How could Lin Wan'er really let the craftsman pay for the salary herself? So he hurriedly took out a gold ingot from his purse and put it in the craftsman's hand: "You take it well first." This is what you used to buy those materials, and if you need anything else, you can come back to me. ”
Seeing Lin Wan'er's bold move, the craftsmen were all frightened by Lin Wan'er, and stammered: "This ...... This...... Miss Wan'er, are you giving too much? It's just a chair, and it doesn't take so much...... Even half of it may not be used. ”
The craftsman suddenly didn't know what to do with the ingot of gold, this Lin Wan'er was so generous that he suddenly didn't know what to do for a while.
Who knew that Lin Wan'er waved her hand indifferently and said, "It's okay, the extra should be your salary, anyway, I just want a chair to give to my father." If it weren't for Sister Xiaoya's idea, I wouldn't have known I could make this kind of chair! ”
As she spoke, Lin Wan'er picked up Su Xiaoya's massage chair and began to look at it.
In the evening, Su Xiaoya couldn't wait to bring the massage chair directly to Beiye Xuan. Sure enough, as Su Xiaoya expected, Kitano Xuan became excited as soon as he saw this massage chair, and immediately sat down to feel it.
"This is really the same as Xiaoya, you massaged it with your hands!" Kitano Xuan felt a little novel, Su Xiaoya knew things that he had never seen before, let alone heard of them.
Su Xiaoya pursed her lips and laughed, pointed to the massage chair and said, "What does Xianggong think of this?" In the future, I don't have to bother to massage Xianggong's hands. ”
Kitano nodded with great satisfaction.
Thanks to the massage chair and Su Xiaoya's contributions, when Kitano Xuan went to the barracks on the second day, he was refreshed, and his face was not as tired as a few days ago.
"General, I heard we have a new mission today, right?" The soldiers also found out that Kitano Xuan was excited, so they asked boldly.
Kitano Xuan raised his eyebrows, he felt that he was hiding it well, how could these soldiers know about it?
After smiling, Kitano Xuan said, "Indeed, the emperor has a task that we need to do. However, this task doesn't require so many people, so we now have to have a competition between each group so that I can choose which group to complete the task. ”
Everyone was excited. They had been training for so long so that they could do some of the tasks assigned by the Emperor of Northern Xinjiang and get credit for these tasks.
What these people said sounded like a military camp, but not long ago, the war between them and Ling Guo had just ended, so naturally it was impossible to have any more wars, and their soldiers did not have much effect.
So everybody is looking forward to having a chance to go out and do a mission, so that they can test how well they have been training during this time.
"General, our group wants to participate in the competition!"
"We want to too!"
"So do we!"
Seeing that all the groups volunteered to stand up, Kitano nodded with satisfaction. The people he brought out must have the ability and the courage.
After round after round of competition, when the sun was about to set, the competition that lasted all day was finally over.
"Okay, everyone has seen it, and in the end, five groups won, so this task is naturally for them." Kitano gave the detailed information he had about the mission to the leader of the fifth group.
Everyone looked at the group leader with a very envious look, just because everyone lost the competition, so they were all convinced.
"General, I heard that this mission is not simple!" One of the soldiers in the audience swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said.
Kitano Xuan nodded, and motioned with his eyes that the team leader could open the information and take a look: "It's really not simple, whether it's their strength or brains, they can't be compared to ordinary bandits, so this time I will let you use the method of competition to decide who will go this time." ”
Everyone suddenly realized, and they all felt that what Kitano Xuan, the general, had done was really worthy of his name.
On the day when the mission began to be implemented, Kitano Xuan did not really sit in the barracks and wait for the reply of the fifth group, but waited at the foot of the mountain with the remaining soldiers and waited for the signal flare of the fifth group.
"General, are you really waiting here for us to come back?" The leader of the fifth group asked with some uncertainty.
Kitano raised his eyebrows and asked, "What's wrong?" Do you have any comments? As I said a long time ago, this time the bandits are powerful and very cunning, if a few of you can take out their entire den of thieves, then the war in the northern frontier will not need us to pass, and you can solve it. ”
The team leader's cheeks turned red instantly, he had always thought that this matter had been completed by a few people in their group from beginning to end, and he was indeed a little scared when he deployed the task that day, but he didn't expect that Kitano Xuan didn't really dump this matter all at them.
Seeing that the group leader looked at Kitano Xuan with grateful, the tall man that day couldn't wait to say, "Okay, okay, you guys hurry over." We're here to be your reinforcements, and we'll go when you release the flares! ”
The team leader soon took his team members up the mountain, and the tall man asked worriedly, "General, is it really okay for just a few of them?" I've inquired, and these robbers are murderous without blinking! ”
"Absolutely. You've all been trained by me, have faith in yourself. Besides, they're just here to find out what's going on inside, what do you think we're doing as reinforcements? Having said that, Kitano Xuan stared motionlessly in the direction in which those people had left.
It wasn't until two hours later, when Kitano Xuan and his party couldn't bear it anymore, that they finally waited for the signal flare on the mountainside to rise.
Kitano Xuan rushed in with all the soldiers, but he only saw some of the less important people among the robbers, and did not see the most powerful ones among them.
"How are these inconsequential robbers? What about the leaders and other leaders? Did they all run away? Kitano Xuan frowned, if these people ran away, it would be troublesome.
The leader of the fifth group said with a smile: "General, we only released the signal flare after killing all those leaders, otherwise we wouldn't have used it for so long." Don't worry, general, there is no one in this room. ”
Kitano Xuan didn't breathe a sigh of relief, but instead glared at the leader of the fifth group and said, "Didn't I say that you should send a flare when you have found out the information?!" Do you know that the longer you stay in this place, the more dangerous it becomes, not to mention that you insist on getting rid of the boss...... Aren't you afraid of any accidents that will happen to you?! But not everything is going the way you think. ”
Kitano Xuan has always been very sensible, he feels that after he has calculated the best and most appropriate method, once someone comes to destroy his method, there will be a lot of unknown dangers.
The team leader was frightened and stammered and didn't know how to explain it: "No, the general...... Listen to me......"
