Finally, in the fear and ardent hope of the hidden return, the rumored "horse craftsman" described by Wen Yiheng really came to the door.

Su Jiudong appeared in an old robe, which was far from the image of a craftsman in the imagination of Yin Jigui.

Yin Jigui received the "rumors" revealed by Wen Yiheng yesterday, and learned that the horse craftsman has now appeared in the city of Xishou, and it is only a matter of time before he finds the door.

He ordered someone to wait at the gate of the house early in the morning, and he himself drank tea and waited in the gatekeeper next to the gatekeeper on weekdays, just to be able to greet him at the first time, so that the skilled horse craftsmen could leave a good impression on him.

Yin Jigui led the arrogant-looking horse craftsman into the main hall with a smile, ordered the servant to serve the high-grade Jun mountain tea prepared earlier, and at the same time led Wen Yiheng to the side hall and raised his doubts to Wen Yiheng:

"Lord Wen, didn't you say earlier that this master once repaired the Buddha beads for the Empress Dowager of your Dayin Dynasty? They are already masters who enter and leave the palace, and they are not bad at silver, why are they dressed like this... Not particular? ”

In fact, the words of hidden thought are shabby and ugly, far more harsh than the three words "not exquisite". But since he is currently asking for help, he can only use it in a tactful way.

"Raunchyness is also one of the characteristics of a horse craftsman."

Wen Yiheng explained casually: "The horse craftsman is highly skilled, and even the current saint invited him into the palace, and it was only after three invitations and four invitations that the horse craftsman agreed. Therefore, the Holy Majesty ordered that the whole palace must treat the horse craftsmen with courtesy. ”

"However, the craftsman is a maverick outsider, accustomed to what he encounters on weekdays, and his temper is very arrogant, so he does not care so much about the appearance of clothing. Just want to be clean, no matter what you pay attention to and don't pay attention to. ”

The hermit still has a complaint about the horsemaker's dress:

"But he has repaired the cultural utensils for so many dignitaries and nobles, and it should be good money, why is he still unwilling to buy some decent clothes to cover his body?"

"Is it because of his good craftsmanship that no one dislikes his clothes?"

"Earlier, the Queen Mother did dislike the clothes of the horse craftsman, and when they first met, she directly said the same opinion as the hidden boss in front of the horse craftsman."

Yin Jigui immediately chimed in: "That's right... Who likes to describe sloppy people? The Queen Mother's reaction is the normal feeling of our people. ”

Wen Yiheng chuckled and said: "Yes, this is indeed human nature in our opinion, but in the ears of the horse craftsmen, they think that we judge people by their appearance and deliberately humiliate him." ”

"The consequence of the Empress Dowager's actions is that the horse craftsman immediately said that he would not repair the Buddha beads for the Empress Dowager, and he did not even practice etiquette, so he left Changle Palace and went to Taiji Palace to ask the saint to resign and leave."

Yin Jigui was taken aback, and couldn't help but raise his voice to express his surprise: "He, he is so bold that he dares to directly refuse the Son of Heaven and the Queen Mother of the Great Yin Dynasty?" ”

As a hidden return of the surrendered people of the enemy country, I thought that the people of the Li people of the Dayin Dynasty would only look forward to the Son of Heaven, but I didn't expect that there would be such a "reckless man" as the horse craftsman who dared to directly disobey the Son of Heaven.

Wen Yiheng immediately put his index finger to his lips, made a gesture of "silence" to the hidden order, looked around vigilantly, and finally lowered his voice and replied:

"Didn't Benxiang just tell Boss Yin? The horsesmith had a very proud temper. The Queen Mother poked his clothes in front of him and looked for his unhappiness, which naturally caused him to be dissatisfied. ”

"As for why he is so arrogant? It is indeed because his craftsman skills have reached the point of perfection, and he can be called the first person in the world. He has his own strength, of course, he thinks highly of himself and does not take others in his eyes. ”

Hearing this, Yin Jigui had a preliminary understanding of the temper of this skilled horse craftsman, but there were still many question marks.

Yin Jigui asked cautiously: "But since he has refused to repair the Buddha beads for the Queen Mother, you said before that he did repair the Buddha beads for the Queen Mother." Can you see that there is a story in this? ”

Wen Yiheng showed "approval" on his face and nodded: "Boss Yin is smart, and I can see at a glance that there are stories to talk about." ”

"After the horse craftsman refused to repair the Buddha beads for the Queen Mother, the current saint once mentioned to the Queen Mother to replace another string of intact Buddha beads. But the Queen Mother refused, only because the string of Buddhist beads was a relic left by the first emperor to the Queen Mother, which was very precious, so she would find someone to repair it. ”

"Since the Buddha beads can't be replaced, why don't you replace them and repair them?"

Wen Yiheng looked at the hidden return, and this time he did not immediately answer the question of the hidden return, but did not say a word, and the meaning in his eyes was profound.

Yin Jigui immediately understood the meaning of Wen Yiheng's noncommittal words: "Yes, yes, this horse craftsman can be regarded as the first person in the world, if he refuses to repair it, there is no one else who can repair it." ”

"Exactly." Wen Yiheng nodded solemnly: "The saint later issued a notice to summon craftsmen from all over the world to repair the Buddha beads for the queen mother, and in the end, no one could repair it, so the saint could only invite the horse craftsman back." U9 eBook

"The person who can make the Great Yin Dynasty invite the Son of Heaven twice in a row, this horse craftsman is really not simple..."Yin Jigui asked curiously: "When the Son of Heaven invited him again, was he still arrogant?" ”

"Although arrogance and conceit are not respectful to others, and even more so to the Son of Heaven, this horse craftsman's skill is really superb, and there is no one in the world who can do it. Therefore, for the sake of the Queen Mother, the saint can only suffer the arrogance of the horse craftsman. ”

And the price of the horse craftsman's return again was that the Queen Mother personally apologized to the horse craftsman, and presented a lot of silver and jewelry. The Holy One even allowed the horse craftsman to meet the Queen Mother without the privilege of bowing, which was really honorable. ”

After speaking, Wen Yiheng showed an unfathomable smile, which seemed to be a yearning for such a glorious favor and a great admiration for the skills of the horse craftsmen.

"I didn't expect that the price of inviting him back again to repair it was so huge that I could ask the Queen Mother to apologize in person... What if he waits and he asks Yin for a huge amount of silver? ”

Yin Jigui suddenly became confused: "Lord Wen, you also know that Yin is not rich. ”

Rao is polite, calm and steady Wen Yiheng, and after hearing Yin Jigui, who is known as the richest man in the city, say that he is not rich, he can't help but want to beat him on the spot.

Wen Yiheng secretly rolled his eyes and complained about Yin Jigui in his heart, but on the surface he still maintained a polite and self-contained appearance, and responded:

"We've lured him out this time in the way he doesn't like the most, so he'll be bound to ask for a price from Boss Hidden in a while, and he'll even be angry and won't accept the request to piece together a deposit note for you."

"Ahh This must not be! Without these deposit notes, Yin Mou lost his trust with the guests, and also gave others a loophole to take advantage of, and he would not be able to gain a foothold in the city in the future! ”

Yin Cigui has been mixed from the surrendered people to the status of the richest man in the city today, and he has been crawling and difficult all the way, of course, he is reluctant to live a comfortable life and glory and wealth today.

If you ask this horse craftsman to repair the silver deposit bills, you have to spend a lot of money and a lot of money, and you have to re-evaluate in your heart to ask the horse craftsman, the "great god", to repair whether it is a knife for killing chickens, which is overkill, and the gains outweigh the losses.

"If he hadn't used such a method to lure him out, maybe he wouldn't have been angry..."

Wen Yiheng knew that this horse craftsman did not like people to do good deeds in his name, but he persuaded the hermit to open a porridge factory to help the victims under the banner of a horse craftsman, wouldn't he be suspected of deliberately provoking the horse craftsmen? ……

Thinking like this, Yin Jigui began to doubt Wen Yiheng's enthusiastic help. Who knows if the smiling prime minister really wants to help him find the horse maker, or if he deliberately destroys the good deeds......

"If you don't use such a method to lure the horse craftsman out, he really won't be angry." Wen Yiheng's tone was light: "But, if he didn't use this method, he wouldn't show up, maybe he is living the life of idle clouds and wild cranes somewhere now." ”

"If he doesn't show up, no one will be able to help Boss Yin repair the deposit notes, as Boss Yin himself said, it will be difficult to continue to gain a foothold in the city in the future."

was frightened by Wen Yiheng like this, and Yin Jigui suddenly didn't dare to express his opinions casually.

As soon as the two finished speaking in the side hall, the angry voice of the horse craftsman sounded in the main hall outside: "What's the matter with this hidden boss?" called Ma but did not come out to entertain him, but left Ma aside coldly, and went to discuss with some high-ranking official by himself..."

In the main hall, the angry "horse craftsman" Su Jiudong picked up the tea on the table and splashed it on the butler beside him, and asked sharply: "This is your master's hospitality?!" Barbarians are so ignorant of etiquette! ”

Wen Yiheng and Yin Ji returned to the main hall, and what they saw was the scene of Su Jiudong splashing people with tea.

Yin Ci was classified as a sign of his sincerity, and he had specially ordered someone to find Junshan tea to entertain the horse craftsmen, and the tea was a good warm temperature when the housekeeper served the tea.

Su Jiudong chose to splash people with tea, and he deliberately waited for the tea to cool down before he became angry. So it's okay to splash tea on the butler, but this posture is very bluffing.

Seeing this situation, combined with what Wen Yiheng told him in the side hall, he couldn't help but shudder secretly.

The housekeeper also felt very aggrieved, he just came out to entertain Yinci, but he was splashed with tea for no reason. Now seeing that Yin Jigui, who ran to the side hall with Wen Yiheng, finally appeared, the housekeeper immediately cast a look of grievance and help to Yin Jigui.

"Everything is Yin's fault, Yin didn't take good care of him, he neglected Mr. Ma, and please don't mind Mr. Ma."

Yin Jigui hurriedly stepped forward to compensate the "horse craftsman", but in his heart he was secretly scolding this master for not only having a big temper but also a big shelf. Obviously, he rudely spilled someone with tea, but blamed him for not taking good care of him.

However, the horse craftsman played by Su Jiudong did not eat the hidden order, and continued to scold:

"Boss Yin, you are really a big shelf, Lord Wen said that you had a request for Ma and me, and now that I have come to the house, you have put me aside and curried favor with Lord Wen..."
