Chapter 174: What is Magic?
Yun Tomb Sheng a few people walk on the Hanguang road leading to Qi'an Temple, there is a building on the north side of the road, in the north of this building complex is Chunhua Pond, Chunhua Pond is the largest lake in the capital, and the north side of Chunhua Pond is the famous Sanxiang Land Zhanghua Street.
As soon as the young man Li Qiyuan's words came out, the air suddenly froze for a while, and Yun Tombsheng turned his head slightly, "You kid is not ordinary smart?" ”
"Hey, it's okay." Li Qiyuan scratched his head.
Li Yu and Jin Dingfa were a little puzzled, and Li Yu asked, "What do you mean, what do you mean?" ”
Li Qiyuan saw Li Yu and asked, so he explained slightly, "That's the case, first of all, this Chunhua Pond is a public lake, not a private lake, anyone can play on it, don't they want a yard with a lake and fishing and playing?" We can buy the house on the edge of this Chunhua pool, which can not only meet their requirements but also reduce the cost of the new house, and also give them more cash. ”
"yes, that's a good idea, that's good." Li Yu slapped his thigh and praised Li Qiyuan for having a brain.
Yun Tombsheng looked at the wide road and said to Li Qiyuan on the side: "It seems that there is still a long distance from Qi'an Temple?" ”
Li Qiyuan looked around, roughly confirmed his location, and asked Yun Tombsheng: "Qi'an Temple is not in some lively and prosperous area, there are about twenty miles or so, why don't you rent two carriages?" ”
"It's okay, I really don't want to leave." Jin Dingfa was originally fat, and he rarely trained in endurance when he practiced martial arts, so he was very afraid of long-distance movement.
Li Qiyuan glanced at Yun Tombsheng, saw that the young man did not nod, then stretched out his head to look around, and after confirming that there were no carriage shops that could be rented around, he said: "My home is not far from here, why don't you rest here, and I will go back to find the carriage?" ”
"By the way?"
Li Qiyuan stretched out his finger and pointed, "Sort of, it's on Erli Road in the northwest." ”
Jin Ding panted and said to Li Qiyuan: "Brother Li, how do you go home?" You go fast in front, we will follow you, and we will take the bus directly. ”
"Okay, from this intersection in front of you, go north, and walk west for a mile at the third intersection to see it." After Li Qiyuan finished speaking, he trotted away.
A group of people from Yun Tombsheng walked slowly behind, and Li Qiyuan panted and ran to the gate of his house and said to the guards: "Is the best carriage in our house at home?" ”
"Young master, didn't you go to school? Why did you run in such a hurry? The short and fat guard leaned over to Li Qiyuan's side and said with concern.
Li Qiyuan suddenly felt that this guard's brain was not bad, and slapped the guard's head, looking at the short and fat guard who was dazed by the slap and turned to the overwhelmed guard, Li Qiyuan didn't expect him to answer any useful answers, and said to another guard by the door: "Ask you." ”
The guard standing at the door was a little stunned when he saw his colleague who usually likes to pat his farts slapped, and when he saw the young master in his own house asking himself, he hurriedly said, "I don't know either, but I didn't see anyone going out." ”
Li Qiyuan himself is not good at martial arts, so his physical strength is a little poor, and he really doesn't have the strength to go by himself at this time, so he stretched out his hand to the guard, "You go and let the groom drive the best carriage over, including my father's and mother's, hurry up, delay me to clean you up, tell Mafu Lisuo a little, otherwise I will let them get out." ”
The guard in front of the door didn't even say hello, turned around and ran into the courtyard to find the coachman, Li Qiyuan, who was still wearing the clothes of a student in the Eastern Order, looked at the short and fat guard next to him, "Why don't you go to the door to guard?" Brainless, can't you see that I'm in a hurry? Need your pretended care there? What am I doing in such a hurry when I have nothing to do? You're still delaying time. ”
The guard suddenly felt that his heart had been hit hard, he had always claimed to be smart all these years, but now he was compared to that stupid boy, and he went to the door with hatred and sulked, complaining about how he didn't have enough brains just now.
Li Qiyuan sat under the stone steps at the entrance for a while, and the two carriages of the Li Mansion went around the gate from the side door to the gate, Li Qiyuan climbed to the first one, and the horseman hurriedly drove the carriage in the direction pointed out by Li Qiyuan.
The young man sat in the carriage and saw the figures of a few people in the cloud tomb from a distance, and said to the evil horseman beside him: "Turn around in front, it is to pick up these people, the one in white is Yun Gongzi, don't be lazy, wait until they are all in the car and set off to Qi'an Temple." ”
The horseman on the side didn't think of Yun Gongzi for a while, but he still hurriedly turned the head of the car at the intersection, Li Qiyuan jumped down and commanded the second carriage behind to turn his head as well, and when the two carriages were turned and waited on the side of the road, Yun Tombsheng and a few people also happened to walk to the side.
"Childe, please." Li Qiyuan made a gesture to Yun Tombsheng and motioned to get on the car, referring to the best carriage in the house, that is, the one that his parents usually ride.
Yun Tombsheng was not polite, he jumped into the car lightly and reached out to pull Han Di's mansion, Li Yu Zhao Hongda and Xiao Mishu Jin Dingfa got into another carriage without saying a word, the small group of several people was still obvious, Yun Tombsheng and Han Difu were the best, Zhao Hongda and Li Yu had the best play, Jin Dingfa Xiao Mishu didn't like to talk, and everyone was good, but he was not so tired of anyone.
Yun Tombsheng greeted Li Qiyuan, the young man jumped into the carriage and sat next to the groom, Yun Tombsheng said, "Come in and sit." ”
Li Qiyuan was no longer polite, turned around and entered the carriage, Yun Tombsheng was very curious to look around in the carriage, Han Difu saw Yun Tombsheng's appearance, and wondered: "Have you never been in a carriage?" ”
"No, we don't have a carriage at home, it's so comfortable, I'll buy it tomorrow, and I don't have to ride a horse or walk on my legs when I travel in the future, Qianyu and Bailing are also walking on their legs when they go out to play today, and I'll prepare one for the two of them when it's time to do it." Yun Zhengsheng reached out and patted the blanket under his buttocks.
Not to mention Li Qiyuan, even Han Difu was also surprised, if it weren't for Yun Tombsheng's performance just now was really a surprise after seeing the novelty item, he wouldn't have thought about this kind of thing.
Li Qiyuan was very curious, but he didn't ask anything, just guessed in his heart whether there was no good road in the place where Yun Tomb lived before, so he could only ride a horse or walk, and it was inconvenient for the carriage to go.
Handi couldn't figure it out, and tilted his head, "Why?" Why haven't you ever made a carriage? ”
"Where do I know, I don't know why, we don't have a carriage in the villa, it shouldn't be used, most people in the villa are guards, and they enjoy a little bit in the carriage, but it's far less fast and convenient than riding a horse, and no one in our villa likes to go out to enjoy, so there is no carriage." Yun Tombsheng thought left and right, but he could only come up with such an explanation.
Han Difu nodded in understanding, lifted the small curtain on the side of the carriage and looked out, the scenery on the side of the road retreated, "Maybe, but it's still very strange that you haven't done a carriage." ”
"At what age did you start making carriages?" Yun Tombsheng looked at Han Di's Mansion and asked Li Qiyuan.
Li Qiyuan saw the door of his house from the curtain raised by Handi's mansion, and his father seemed to be standing in front of the door, but he didn't say hello again in a flash, and said to Yun Tomb: "I heard my father say that when I couldn't walk when I was a child, he and my mother would take me to my grandmother's house, so I should have been riding in a carriage since my mother was confined." ”
Han Difu looked at Yun Tombsheng and said, "I've been having memories since I had them, but what I heard from my parents is almost like this, didn't anyone take you to visit relatives when you were a child?" ”
Yun Tombsheng shook his head, "We have no relatives in our family, I grew up in my room and small yard when I was a child, and then I went to the back mountain to play with Yun Qianyu and Yun Bailing, basically I never went out, and when I met you, I secretly went out to play." ”
"No wonder you know the two Yun girls so well." Han Difu nodded, he couldn't see it on weekdays, but when Yun Bailing was uncomfortable that day, he could see the most real relationship between the two hidden under the master and servant, how could there be a master who served tea and poured water for the maid and walked around with the maid on a rainy day, this was more like a brother and sister.
Li Qiyuan then recommended himself: "Young Master, if you plan to buy a carriage, do you have a suitable choice?" If not, I can recommend it to you, I know what factory produced the carriage of each prince and prince, the minister's house. ”
"What do you study this every day? Does it have anything to do with the fortune-telling you learned? Yun Tombsheng seemed to be very familiar with all kinds of real estate goods, which can be related to money, so he asked curiously.
Li Qiyuan still said after being entangled for a long time: "Young master, in fact, the main body of my study is not fortune-telling and physiognomy, what do I mainly learn, let me give you a simple analogy, for example, the military adviser is strategizing, I am a military advisor, and the soldiers are replaced with all kinds of things, do you probably understand this?" The stars, mountains and rivers, the houses and the portraits, everything is the object of my calculation. ”
"I seem to understand a little bit, so you need to calculate wherever you are, right? Including physiognomy, it is also necessary to calculate different forms? Yun Tombsheng said a little uncertainly.
Li Qiyuan slapped his thigh excitedly, "Yes, yes, the number of techniques is this thing, many of my senior brothers later went to the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Officials, and the Ministry of Households, especially the Ministry of Household and the Ministry of Industry, including the territory, fields, household registration, taxes, salaries and all financial matters involved in the Ministry of Households, the system of civil engineering construction of the Ministry of Industry, the use of utensils, the method of dredging the canal and weir, and the code of mausoleum for 100 million; That is, the country's civil engineering, water conservancy, military and civilian machinery manufacturing, mining and metallurgy, textiles, circulation currency, etc., a small number of talented senior brothers will also join Si Tianjian. ”
Yun Tombsheng and Han Difu looked at each other, and suddenly felt that this technique was really a genius of heaven and earth, Yun Tombsheng still remembered the previous evil question, but for fear of being said to be ignorant, so he whispered: "Then why do you know so much about houses, mansions and carriages?" ”
Li Qiyuan immediately knew that what he said was in vain, so he could only say in frustration: "Because I don't have any relationship in my family, it is difficult for me to enter the Ministry of Household Engineering, let alone Si Tianjian, I can only use my energy on various things in the city." ”
"Why? If you're good enough, why don't they want you? Didn't you say you were good in your class? "Yun Tombsheng didn't understand a little.
Li Qiyuan didn't expect Yun Tomb Sheng to be interested in this, and replied bitterly: "The one we studied can't participate in the scientific examination, or the things that most people in the Eastern Order learn have no chance to participate in the scientific examination, so there are a lot fewer ways out."
For example, when the Ministry of Household and Industry recruited people in our eastern order, it was difficult for a person to prove himself, so the officials of the Ministry of Household and the Ministry of Industry would directly ask some questions encountered by the department for us to answer, I had no opportunity to contact many things at all, and those who were from good backgrounds understood the issues involved, and I didn't know a lot of recent relevant information, in fact, I didn't even have the qualifications to answer. ”
