Tanhai Zhenren politely declined the offer to go back to the room to rest, and continued to stay in the reception room.

First of all, he is the host here, and the status of the three guests is noble, of course he can't keep the guests here, it is too rude to do so; secondly, to be able to witness Qin Mo using different materials to make chess pieces is an unavoidable thing, and if he misses it, he will regret it for life.

In fact, his injury was not light, although he refused to admit it, but he had to rest for at least ten days and half a month to heal.

With the assistance of Zhao Kai, Qin Mo quickly completed the production of tiger bone chess.

Because of the limitation of materials, tiger bones can only be made of chess pieces, and the chessboard is also made of hardwood, Qin Mo's aesthetic vision is higher than that of the ancients, and there are many considerations in the selection of materials, so the chessboard and chess pieces can complement each other.

Zhao Kai was very happy, first hugged his fists and worshiped Xie Qinmo and Tanhai Zhenren, and then couldn't wait to pinch a chess piece with two fingers and instill Wenli into it.

This is a "rat" chess, the reason why it was chosen is that the indoor area is limited, if you choose a large animal such as "elephant", it may cause the house to collapse.

Swish!

The chess piece flashed with a flash, and then a large giant rat appeared.

The rat lay on the ground, nearly a foot long and more than three feet tall, with a tail similar to its body length reaching the doorway, as straight as a flagpole.

The two round gray eyes are dripping and turning, the sides of the mouth have long whiskers like steel needles, and the upper jaw has large white plate teeth nearly a foot long, which looks a little funny.

Including Qin Mo, the four of them were all taken aback.

Zhao Kai's eyes widened even more, and then he sighed: "What a big mouse! No wonder it can kill an elephant in a beast fight, I see!"

Qin Mo frowned, did the heart path rat kill the elephant by brute force?

In his impression, this is not the interpretation of the people of later generations.

Regardless of his physical weakness, Tan Hai Zhenren sighed: "Even the smallest mouse is so strong, you can imagine how powerful the other chess pieces will be, Qin Case Chief is worthy of being the founder of Beast Fighting Chess, and the chess he makes is extraordinary." ”

Zhao Kai said happily: "With this chess, this king will definitely be able to beat other princes in the next month's evaluation!"

may be aware that he is a little unprofessional, Emperor Zhao Ji attaches great importance to the education of children, and will personally test them every quarter, and the prince who gets the first place will be rewarded.

Over the years, Zhao Kai's results have been among the best, and he has won the first place several times.

But after all, there is a prince brother and a second brother above him, these two are older than him, and their cultivation will naturally be deeper, especially the prince Zhao Huan, who has relied on the hand Chinese treasure to suppress the crowd in the recent evaluations, and it is difficult for Zhao Kai to take advantage in front of him.

The crown prince has his own team, and many ministers often come to curry favor with him, giving him a lot of high-grade treasures, in this regard, other princes are incomparable.

Now with the Tiger Bone Fighting Beast Chess, Zhao Kai has become full of confidence.

Zhao Feiyan had an envious expression on her face, and said unwillingly: "Qin Mo, it's time to make chess pieces for me next, right?"

Qin Mo looked up at her and said mischievously: "Ivory is the most difficult of the four materials, its hardness is higher than that of agarwood, and its toughness is stronger than that of tiger bone, but its weight is less than that of mutton fat white jade, so I plan to save it for the end." ”

"Huh?" Zhao Feiyan looked dissatisfied.

Zhao Kai saw Qin Mo's eyes flickering when he spoke, so he smiled and said, "Sister, the head of the Qin case lied to you." ”

Zhao Feiyan raised her eyebrows and used a questioning tone: "Really?"

Qin Mo spread his hands and said, "Okay, for the sake of the county lord attaching so much importance to it, the students will reluctantly make ivory chess first." ”

Zhao Feiyan turned her anger into joy, and said with a smile: "Okay." ”

Zhao Kai shook his head to himself, Sister Xindao was already stunned, she never used color in front of the opposite sex, but why did there be such a big change in Qin Mo.

In his impression, Zhao Feiyan does not let her eyebrows go, she is resolute and resolute, and her personality is as bold as a man.

A quarter of an hour later, the ivory chess was made, considering that Zhao Feiyan often went out of Beijing to carry out tasks, Qin Mo used a slightly thicker brocade as the chessboard material, which could usually be packed into the brocade bag with the chess pieces, which was easy to carry and easy to use.

After a short break, he began to make the white jade chess, and with the previous experience, this chess piece was made more beautifully, and he could not find any flaws.

The chessboard of the white jade chess is also made of brocade, which can play a role in protecting the chess pieces from rubbing against each other and colliding with each other to cause scratches.

All four sets of beast chess were completed, and everyone was happy.

After a vegetarian meal in Miaoyinguan, Qin Mo refused Zhao Kai's kindness to fly to each other, said goodbye to the three of them to the ferry, and returned to Xiayi County by boat overnight.

The next morning, he came to Wendao College.

Along the way, his classmates congratulated him one after another.

There has been no case here for seven or eight years, and Qin Mo has beaten a group of old birds in the government as a new child, and this achievement is enough to add glory to the county school.

When he came to Tingquan Caolu, he saw Gu Meng practicing calligraphy while fishing.

Moreover, Gu Meng also used bluestone slabs, which were the same size as his one, and even the color of the wooden frame was the same.

His face darkened, and he walked over and said, "Success is difficult to replicate, uncle, you are also a knowledgeable person, don't you even know this little bit of common sense?"

Gu Meng glanced at him and said, "Even if it doesn't succeed in replication, at least you can gain something in the process, and before you find a method that works for you, it's better than doing nothing." ”

Qin Mo shrugged his shoulders and asked, "How many fish have you caught?"

This time it was Gu Meng's turn to have a dark face, and the corners of his mouth moved a few times, but he didn't make a sound.

Qin Mo pretended to be surprised, his eyes widened and he said in his throat: "No, it's understandable that you haven't learned to use [one heart and two purposes], and you haven't even caught a fish, so what's the point of you sitting here?"

Gu Meng's face darkened even more, and said: "Didn't you kid just take the first case exam, and you dared to blow your beard and stare at Dr. Ben, fishing is not an easy task, and there is no shame in not being able to catch it." ”

Qin Mo deliberately turned his head to look at the dried fish drying in the yard, and said to himself: "After three or four days away from home, it should have all been dried." ”

Gu Meng blew his beard angrily and glared, gritted his teeth and said, "Don't go too far, you kid, I'm not as good as you in fishing, okay?"

Qin Mo smiled, the goal was achieved.

At this moment, the sound of horses' hooves and brass bells could be heard in the distance, as well as the sound of wheels pressing against the ground.

The two turned around and saw a carriage coming this way, with the logo of the Xu family on the carriage.

The carriage stopped outside the courtyard of the grass house, and a man in a gray robe came down from above, wearing a scribe's scarf, and hugged his fists at the two and said, "Doctor Gu, the head of the Qin case, the contemptible person was sent by the Xu County Order. ”

Qin Mo asked, "What do you have to tell the county lord?"

The man replied, "The contemptible man was ordered to give the Qin case chief the dividends of the previous month. ”

With that, he waved his hand, and two men in short clothes carried down a wooden box from the carriage.

Qin Mo asked them to carry the wooden box to the main hall of the grass house, and the gray-clothed man opened the lid of the box, and there was a stack of money and a pile of scattered silver inside.

The man in gray said with a smile: "After getting the wine-making method of Qin's case, the Xu family started large-scale production, and last month's shipments were good, and they have all been bought in Xijing." This is a bonus of 1,500 taels, in order to facilitate the use, the county lord specially explained that the whole silver will be exchanged for money and broken silver. ”

He picked up the money and said, "This is a hundred taels of money, a total of twelve pieces, which can be exchanged for cash at any Chase bank in Nanjing." There were also three hundred taels of silver for daily life. After that, every month's dividends will be sent by the contemptible people, and the prospects of the wine business are very good, and I believe that the number of dividends will become larger and larger. ”

Qin Mo nodded and said, "Thank you, then I will be disrespectful." ”

The gray-clothed man continued to smile and said: "There is one more thing, the county lord specially explained to the shopkeeper of Wen Bao Zhai, as long as the head of the Qin case comes in the future, all goods will be calculated according to 20% off." ”

Qin Mo also smiled, hugged his fists and said, "Thank you for me, Lord County." ”

Fifteen hundred taels, and it was only a month's dividend, far exceeding Qin Mo's previous estimate.

This can prove the degree of recognition of liquor, as the man in gray said, the future sales will continue to rise, and the profits will become more lucrative, and it also shows the strength of the Xu family in the shopping mall, and it is wise to choose them to cooperate.

Gu Meng's eyes were almost round, originally he was not optimistic about this kind of cooperation, after all, in this era, people do not have a deep understanding of dry stocks, and if they don't do anything, they can make money, how is it possible!

Facts have proved that Qin Mo is right, selling formulas is a one-shot deal, and cooperative shareholding is a long-term stream of water.

After the gray-clothed man left, Gu Meng grabbed Qin Mo's collar and said, "Boy, you will have a large amount of money in your account every month in the future, don't you plan to say something?"

Qin Mo looked directly at Uncle Shuai's fire-breathing eyes and said, "You can come to me when you are short of money, okay?"

The corners of Gu Meng's mouth rose, and he said with a smile: "This is almost the same, count you as acquaintances." ”

Qin Mo muttered: "You have made it look like you are going to rob, and I can't beat you, so naturally you have to break the fortune and avoid disasters." ”

As soon as Gu Meng glared at him, a voice sounded outside the courtyard: "Is Qin Mo at home?"

"Won't it be a congratulatory gift again?" Gu Meng guessed that in addition to the bonus sent by the Xu family, He Chang and several bigwigs in the academy sent people to send congratulatory gifts, more than a dozen taels of silver, and less than a few pieces of money, because Qin Mo had not yet returned, Gu Meng accepted it on his behalf.

Qin Mo walked out of the main hall and saw a person wearing a white background Qinglan Xiucai uniform standing at the door, holding a folding fan in his hand, with a smile on his face.

The Qinglan pattern on the clothes represents that the other party has a humanistic position before the test, and is the best among the talents.

He was sure that he didn't know each other, and said, "Down there is Qin Mo, what does this showman do?"

The man put the folding fan away, and said arrogantly: "I, Feng Yue, am from the Nanjing branch of the Junmo Society, and I invite you to join the club on the order of the head of the association. ”

Hearing this, Qin Mo was only slightly surprised, but Gu Meng, who remained in the house, had already changed his face greatly, as if he had heard the name of the enemy.
