Chapter 108: Suspected Traverser
"What's the matter?" Shao Yi hurriedly waved his hand, "How dare I?" I know of a few handy grinding tools and fixtures that are just right for the sander. Don't we have a friendship? I thought, since the fourth brother is recruiting miller apprentices, maybe he can use these. ”
"That's it......" Xia Zitang paused, this thing's attitude towards him is getting closer and closer, but why?
"Good intentions. It's just that we don't have such a good relationship, and we don't have any merit, and Xia doesn't dare to accept Deputy Lieutenant Shao's kindness. Xia Zitang said.
Shao Yi hurriedly explained: "We have a good relationship." My fourth brother and I have such a temper, and we don't have a big enmity that we don't share, so why can't we get along well? In this way, I also happened to know that there are several tools that are easy to obtain. Otherwise, how about I sell it to the fourth brother? ”
"That's okay," Xia Zitang immediately accepted, "You don't have any other requirements than to sell me the tools, right?" ”
Shao Yi was overjoyed, but he didn't dare to show it, he only said sincerely: "What did the fourth brother say?" What is the relationship between the two of us, such a trivial matter, there must be no requirements. No, the younger brother is wrong, even if it is a big thing, there must be no requirements, there must be none! ”
Xia Zitang: "Okay, I happen to be useful for this thing you said, then take a look, I owe you a personal favor brother." ”
No matter how much truth there is in this kid's words, since he has a useful tool in his hand, let's use it first. If the tool is really good, he should be considered to owe this kid a favor...... Well, as for whether this favor should be repaid, let's see how this kid performs in the future.
He owes favors, and the little sister gets benefits, and this thing can be done.
Shao Yi smiled: "Okay, although I didn't want the fourth brother to show any favors, but letting the fourth brother say this shows that the younger brother is still a little useful." ”
The preparations he made in advance were indeed right, so that he continued to brush up on the good feelings of the Xia family and Ah Can, and the day of marrying Ah Chan was getting closer and closer.
He also wanted to remind Xia Zitang to let Xia Yanqing be careful about the chrysanthemum banquet in the Chengjun Palace.
The specific woman invited to participate in the chrysanthemum banquet is really not something that men who are outside the upper circle should know.
Rashly saying such inexplicable words, in addition to having no justifiable reason, may also reach the ears of King Chengjun, but attract the attention of King Chengjun.
After thinking about it again, Shao Yi still swallowed back the words that came to his mouth.
If King Chengjun wants to win over Master Xia Ke, he will definitely take care of Ah Can if he wants to come to Zhirong County. With Ah Can's character, in a short period of time, the relationship between her and the county lord of Zhirong will not make substantial progress.
As for the future, when he has a deep friendship with Xia Zitang and moves around with the Xia family a lot, he will not be abrupt if he takes care of Ah Can at that time.
…………
Xia Zitang took home the tools recommended by Shao Yi, and the tools that Xia Yanqing had purchased for Shi Changsheng and Zhang Chun had just been sent to the temporary craftsman's workshop.
Normally, the tools used by the craftsmen are purchased by themselves, and under the conditions of their own ability, according to their own preferences and manual habits, they choose the tools at hand.
The craftsman specified the tools he wanted and purchased them by the owner, which was the first encounter between Shi Changsheng and the others.
If Xia Yanqing explained it, as long as the work is done well and the speed can be accelerated, they can try to choose the best one.
Therefore, the tools that the steward bought for Shi Changsheng and Zhang Chun are not top-notch, but they are also very good. At least they can't afford to buy it themselves.
Xia Yanqing had just seen the rare tools of Shi Changsheng and the others, and then looked at the few things that Xia Zitang had brought back, and he could clearly see the difference.
Xia Yanqing stretched out her feet without a teacher, stepped on the pedal of a polishing instrument, and looked at the thin stone strip that had been simply teleported by the pedal and turned quickly, her eyes flashed.
Then look at the bow that speeds up the twitching of the twine, and is used to cut jade.
These things were several levels higher than the utensils named by Shi Changsheng and the others.
"Where did the fourth brother find these utensils? It looks much stronger than the two craftsmen in our family. ”
Xia Zitang didn't know much about this, but when he heard Xia Yanqing say this, he immediately burst into joy.
"Do these things really work? That kid really didn't brag. ”
Xia Yanqing looked at him, "This thing was recommended to the fourth brother?" "What is not available on the market, someone actually gave it to Xia Zitang? Its intentions make people have to take it seriously.
"Yes......" Xia Zitang suddenly remembered that the kid surnamed Shao had a criminal record.
I don't know if the little sister still remembers, that guy spoke badly and slandered the little sister earlier, and he had a big fight with him because of this.
"Who?" Xia Yanqing didn't understand why Xia Zitang, who had always been hearty, suddenly got stuck.
"Yes...... A colleague of mine," Xia Zitang paused, and said truthfully, "You probably remember that it was the one surnamed Shao, named Shao Yi. ”
Then, when he saw Xia Yanqing's expression stiffened, he said secretly: The little sister really remembers the goods.
Xia Zitang explained a little embarrassedly: "That kid somehow suddenly changed his temper and looked for the position of the lieutenant of the Terracotta Division, but he didn't mess around outside." ”
Xia Yanqing: "Have you changed your mind?" "Such a coincidence? Just change your mind and go to the place where Xia Zitang works?
"Yes, change your mind," Xia Zitang nodded hurriedly, "I've changed my ways." Shao Yi is very diligent in the Terracotta Division, and for more than two months, he has worked very hard to practice with more than 20 subordinates, and has learned from many people. ”
Of course, Xia Yanqing remembered this person, not only because Xia Zitang was injured in a fight with him, but also because it was a bimetal thermometer that should not have appeared in this era.
Xia Yanqing remembered the bruises that Xia Zitang had brought back from time to time recently, and asked, "He and the fourth brother have learned the most?" ”
Xia Zitang felt quite concerned, "Those people in the Terracotta Division take care of his identity and don't dare to take him seriously." The kid didn't think it was interesting, so he came to me to practice alone. ”
"Huh!" Where do people think it's interesting to practice against you, but I'm afraid that they have other plans.
Xia Yanqing stroked his forehead, "So you two don't know each other, but you actually beat two close friends?" ”
She was almost certain that this suspected traverser surnamed Shao deliberately approached her after seeing the thermometer tablets she had asked the blacksmith to make.
Tempted with a bimetal thermometer, and after being rejected by her, she began to look for another way. Entering the Soldiers and Horses Division and getting acquainted with Xia Zitang is probably for this purpose.
"Well," Sure enough, Xia Zitang nodded, "I think he is good, he was in Zhang Shangshu's Mansion before, and he owed it, but during this time, he was quite down." When he heard that I was recruiting an apprentice, he shoved these tools in. But we can't ask for his things for nothing, I bought them with silver. ”
Xia Yanqing was speechless for a long time, and then said, "This person seems to want to make friends with the fourth brother." ”
It's too unbelievable to go through this kind of thing, so it's better to let the fourth brother carry this pot for the time being.
As for this Shao Yi, he wanted to get close to her so deliberately, and it was not a way to hide all the time.
This guy will definitely find a way to contact her again, and when the time comes, it will be good to meet him.
Regardless of whether he was a traverser or not, Xia Yanqing did not intend to reveal his details to a stranger.
