Chapter 23 The Prefect of the Xu Family
The "Hengyang Iron Striking Training Manual", Shen Han has also read it several times.
Last time, according to the method mentioned in this training manual, I built an inner armor for myself.
Although the finished product is quite bad, it can still be worn after the negative entries are extracted.
Thinking of these, Shen Han went to pick up some scrap products again.
Throwing it into the smelt, mixed with some animal skins, it still forged an inner armor.
This time, the craftsmanship is much better than before.
But compared to the inner armor sold outside, it is still a lot worse.
Shen Han stared intently, and a line of small gray characters of [Shoddy Inner Armor] floated on the Inner Armor.
I thought that the craftsmanship had been improved, but I didn't expect that the quality was still inferior......
Extract the [poor] entry, and find a [good quality] to apply on it.
The inner armor in his hand has been completely renewed, and it looks quite exquisite.
Preparing this gift, Shen Han lay on the bed.
Visualizing the [Heavenly Dao Sword Momentum] in his mind, he began to rest and recuperate.
At midnight, the rooster outside the courtyard crowed three times, and Shen Han got up immediately.
Today, when you are a guest at Governor Xu's mansion, you should always make yourself tidy.
After breakfast at home, Shen Han chose to set off at the right time.
The mansion of the Xu Governor's Mansion is still some distance from the Shen family.
Shen Han hugged the inner armor he had built and walked quickly.
After experiencing a turmoil in the mansion that day, Shen Han could feel that Governor Xu had kindness to him.
In the past few days, I have also thought about the reason in my mind.
Shen Han also had an answer in his heart.
If it is really as he guessed, then he will work hard to make friends with Governor Xu, in order to seek a shelter.
The mansion of the Xu Governor's Mansion is much smaller than that of the Shen family.
After all, the Shen family has the position of marquis, and its three sons also hold positions in the army.
The mansion is larger, and it is normal.
"Young Master Shen Han, please here, the master has been waiting for you in the garden of the mansion for a long time~"
Seeing his arrival, the servant of the Xu Governor's family invited him very warmly.
Compared with the servants of the Shen family, he has to respect himself a lot.
I turned inward, walked through a corridor, and arrived at the garden in the mansion.
In the center of the garden is a shallow pond with clear water.
It seems that some aquatic plants have been planted artificially and some small fish have been raised.
The scene in this courtyard seems to be still a little vibrant.
"How, compared to the scenery of your Shen family's mansion, I'm afraid it's even worse, right?"
Seeing Shen Han go to the appointment, Governor Xu had a smile on his face and invited him to sit down in the courtyard.
"The garden in the Shen Mansion is indeed larger, and the decoration layout is more luxurious.
It's just that the garden, compared to the prefect's house, lacks a vitality and warmth. ”
Shen Han pointed out something in his words, and Xu Zhifu also understood the meaning.
With a smile still on his face, he asked the servant to bring the freshly brewed tea.
The two sat on the edge of the shallow pond, and Xu Zhifu looked at the fish in the pond and asked.
"Do you know why the prefect invited you to be a guest today?"
Governor Xu kept a smile on his face, and he seemed to be very close.
"Speak freely, this prefect wants to hear your opinion."
Shen Han hesitated for a moment, thought about it, and brought out some guesses in his heart.
"The Holy God gave marriage, and I don't want the two families to marry.
Otherwise, I wouldn't let me, an unfavored grandchild, marry the Su family. ”
When Shen Han said this, the smile on Governor Xu's face became a little thicker.
"You boy has seen it through, and he continued."
"The Shen and Su families don't want my unfavored grandchildren to marry the Su family's Tianjiao, but if they go to ask the saint to withdraw this marriage contract, both families will have to pay some price.
In this way, the two families naturally wanted to come up with some irresistible conditions, so that the royal family was unwilling, and they could only take back the marriage.
The simplest, naturally, is that I, a disgusted kid, get crippled.
The dignified Su family is arrogant, and he will never marry a crippled person. ”
Shen Han analyzed word by word, saying that it was his own business, but there was indifference in his tone.
"And in the Shengshang, it is natural to hope that the Shen and Su families will beg the royal family to cancel the marriage contract, so as to obtain something beneficial to the royal family.
Instead of sacrificing a family child to return this marriage contract. ”
Shen Han analyzed this, and Governor Xu signaled that he didn't have to continue.
"Three years ago, the saint also used this trick on the prime minister's mansion, and the two families honestly found the saint and paid some price in exchange for the annulment of the marriage contract.
The saint probably didn't expect that the Shen family's heart would be so ruthless, and he would rather sacrifice the descendants of the family than pay a price. ”
Xu Zhifu looked at Shen Han, and there was a hint of sympathy in his eyes.
can see that Shen Han's eyes are full of perseverance, and this sympathy is transformed into appreciation.
"If you come to my mansion as a guest today, this mansion will spread it, and after that, in the Shen family's mansion, you shouldn't dare to use those too dirty methods to deal with you.
Especially if the elders in the family dare to obviously bully you, you can talk to the government at any time.
If you are disrespectful and merciful, your house will have a reason to protect you. ”
Shen Han saluted to Governor Xu's mansion.
Although he knew that Governor Xu was protecting him, it was also because he was on the side of the saint.
But in any case, Governor Xu is sheltering himself, and it doesn't matter what his motives are.
As he spoke, Shen Han hurriedly took out the gift he had made.
A rather delicate inner armor display.
"You did it yourself?"
"The younger generation is a little strapped in life, and this inner armor is also made of some old materials, and please don't dislike it."
Governor Xu picked up the inner armor and looked left and right.
"Your skill is much better than that son of my family.
My son struck iron in the courtyard every day, didn't read much all day, and didn't practice martial arts......
The point is that the craft hasn't grown much yet......"
Speaking of his son, Xu Zhifu suddenly entered the status of a loving father.
"The younger generation also heard that Xu Gongzi prefers casting skills, I wonder if I can communicate one or two today?"
"My son is withdrawn and can't speak a few words to us...... Forget it, let's go check it out......"
Walk to the west side of the mansion and take a few more steps, and you can hear the sound of bells.
When I jumped through a door, I saw that there were some casting tools thrown everywhere in the wide courtyard.
This Xu Gongzi glanced up at the two of them, and with the hammer in his hand, he began to hammer again.
Shen Han didn't speak, picked up a piece of scrap iron from the side, picked up a hammer, and followed the beating.
Ding-jingle, Xu Gongzi couldn't help but cast his eyes and looked, looked at it, and began to talk and communicate.
It is not too easy for men to make friendships, at least it is much easier than women.
For example, at this moment, Shen Han and Xu Gongzi in front of him didn't know each other's names, so they were already chatting with interest.
Shen Han had already read the "Hengyang Iron Striking Training Manual" well, and it was enough to talk to Xu Gongzi about casting skills.
On the contrary, it is this Xu Gongzi, whose theoretical knowledge is ridiculously poor.
I like casting, so I started to strike iron, and I didn't think about reading some classics to study.
