Chapter 1109: Famine, Natural Disasters 266
In ancient times, horseback riding consisted only of a mat and a stirrup that resembled a rope. One is to reduce the burden on the horse's back, and the other is that the person riding on it has a certain ability to control.
Later, it slowly evolved, and there were more and more harnesses, and it became more and more stable on horseback.
Back at the palace, the two went straight to Heyun Courtyard.
"No, the four treasures of the above room."
Zhou Ting spoke with great interest.
The one who followed did not bow down, "Oh." ”
"Yiyi, sit." Entering the study, Zhou Ting asked her to sit in the main seat.
Mingyi didn't go, and chose a small table to sit down.
Seeing this, Zhou Ting sat beside her, rubbing his fists and palms; Until the four treasures of the study are not brought to the end, the pen and ink have been prepared, and Mingyi can be used directly.
The small table was very friendly to her current height, and Mingyi drew the same harness; And the size is indicated, each horse is different in height and length and needs to be customized.
"Okay, you can have someone build a set and try it out."
"Okay."
Zhou Ting took the drawings with both hands, his eyes touched the details on the drawings, and his eyes gradually became obsessed and excited; When he saw these drawings, he had a sense of déjà vu, as if he had seen them somewhere, but he was very sure that he had never seen them, and this was the first time he had seen them.
He was fascinated and puzzled.
Mingyi shook his hand, his wrist was a little sore, "Chaosheng, the drawings are kept." ”
"Okay." Zhou Ting subconsciously responded, and only reacted after answering, and smiled at Mingyi; Then he added the corresponding dimensions of his exclusive horse to the drawing, "No, send it to the craftsmen in Fuzhong to build it, and you will see the finished product within two days." ”
Not bending slightly, he took the drawing with both hands, "Oh, the slave will send it." ”
"Let people protect the drawings and don't lose them."
"Minions understand."
Not to pick up the drawings and leave, Zhou Ting was a little eager to try it when he thought of the harness, "Yiyi, go, accompany me to find the teacher." ”
"What do you want to do with a teacher?"
"Talk to the teacher about forming cavalry." Zhou Ting got up and took two steps, then stopped, "No, the harness hasn't been made yet." ”
Mingyi didn't get up at all, she knew that it would be like this, "Don't worry, let's talk about it after the harness is made and tested, and there will be no finished product to show people at this time." ”
Oh, yes!
What can I do now?
Zhou Ting shook his head, sat back down, and fell into deep thought.
Mingyi was looking for books to read with nothing to do, no matter what Zhou Ting, who was full of career, was thinking, she read books quietly and freely.
I didn't come back with the drawings, but I didn't come back empty-handed, and I brought some tea, snacks, and juice.
"Master, the drawings have been sent to Craftsman Cen, and he will step up his efforts to build them."
Zhou Ting looked at it lightly, but turned his head to see that Mingyi was already immersed in the sea of books.
Their joys and sorrows are not the same.
Time flies like a white horse.
Today is the deadline of two days, and Zhou Ting shouted not to go to Craftsman Cen to check, not to hurry up and finally arrived at Craftsman Cen; But he saw that the craftsman was wiping a set of harness placed on the table of the forging room.
Don't be overjoyed to see it, "Lao Cen, you really have it, it's really created." ”
"It's not for my father-in-law, I just finished it, and I wiped some oil." Craftsman Cen was sweating profusely and raised a smile, "The prince is in a hurry, right?" ”
Buwei shook his head, "No, the prince is waiting to see how good this set of harness is, new drawings; You have to put it away well, don't let others see it, everything is waiting for the prince to tell you. ”
"Understand, I don't believe the small one if I don't think it's my father-in-law, the small mouth is very tight, and it will never leak out of my mouth."
"We have worked together for many years, how can we not believe your reasoning, but just a reminder." I didn't want to step forward and brush over a piece of horse harness, there was such a fine horse harness, but I didn't know how to use it; With so many things on the horse, I'm afraid it's quite heavy, "Lao Cen, send someone to go with the miscellaneous family." ”
"The little one is with you." Craftsman Cen smiled and wiped the sweat stains on his body, put on his clothes, packed up and went to Heyun Courtyard with some harness for the artist.
Not to put things in the yard, he said to Craftsman Cen: "Old Cen, you wait here, and the miscellaneous family will go to report to the master." ”
"If you don't go for your father-in-law, I'll watch here."
"Don't look at it, you can rest for a while." It's impossible to lose it in Heyunyuan, and you don't need to be taken care of at all.
Buwei strode into the study, standing in the center of the hall and stopped, "Master, the slave is back, and the harness has also been moved back; The craftsmen built it overnight, and it looks really good. ”
"Brought back?"
Zhou Ting walked out of the screen quickly, striding as if galloping.
"Yes, sir, it's been built, in the yard; When the slave went, the craftsman had just finished work for a while, and he was still covered with sweat stains. ”
Zhou Ting didn't hear what he said, and he didn't rush out; When he arrived at the courtyard, he could only see the exquisite harness placed in the courtyard in his sight, and the sophistication of each piece was very attentive at a glance.
Some use leather, some use fine iron, and some use wood; Among them, there is also hemp rope, and the time required for the whole set is by no means two days to build, which shows that the craftsmen are really attentive and add night shifts.
"The prince is fine, the little one is not to send the harness to his father-in-law." Craftsman Cen knelt down and said goodbye.
Zhou Ting waved his hand casually, "Get up, you don't have to be polite; It just so happens that you are here, so let's take something to the horse farm together. ”
"Yes."
Craftsman Cen got up and followed the followers to move to the horse farm.
When the steward in charge of the racecourse saw Zhou Ting coming, he didn't care about inspecting the racecourse, and hurriedly came over to greet him.
"The slave knocks on the prince, and the prince is fine."
"Yun is in charge of things, and bring Ben Lei from this world."
Yun Guan was clear, "Yes, the slave will go, and the prince will wait for a while." ”
Steward Yun turned and went to a solitary stable, from which he pulled out a sturdy brown and red tall horse; Every muscle on his body is perfect, his fur is clean, and he walks lightly, which shows that he is a good horse.
"Lord Shizi, Ben Lei is here."
Zhou Ting walked up to the brown and red horse, and the horse pushed him with his head and motioned for him to get on the horse.
Zhou Ting patted its face and stroked it, "Don't worry, I have prepared a new harness for you this time; No, for Ben Lei, this son wants to try a new harness. ”
"This" did not hesitate, "Master, why don't you let others try?" It's new after all."
No one knows if the new harness will be put into use.
"Don't be verbose, hurry." Zhou Ting didn't want to hear it, so he wanted to try it himself; After all, Mingyi will not harm him, after getting along for so long, everything Mingyi does, as long as it concerns him, is beneficial to him.
Don't dare to take this risk, "Master"
"What, Master's words don't work?"
"The minions don't dare."
I didn't kneel directly.
Craftsman Cen's eyes flashed, and he knelt down and said: "Lord Shizi, if you are not worried about your father-in-law, although these horse harnesses, there is no problem with small visual inspection, but you are golden and noble, how can you try it yourself, it is better to lead a docile horse and a slave to try?" ”
