Xia Jin looked at the Silver Token in her hand, and unexpectedly, this thing was quite useful.
"Master, the Lord of the City has ordered that once the axis is delivered, it will be installed immediately and then the balance will be paid!"
After welcoming Xia Jin into the city gate, the bearded man rubbed his hands and looked at Xia Jin.
Xia Jin looked around. Behind the bearded man was a group of strong men, who were obviously preparing to install the axis.
He raised his eyes and looked at the cylinder that replaced the axis on the open city gate. If it was not replaced, the city gate would not be able to support it for long. No wonder the city lord was in such a hurry to replace it.
Seeing Big Beard's attitude, Xia Jin knew why Liniang agreed so readily. Dare Qing'er, there was still a problem left for her.
Xia Jin jumped up to the tower to observe, drew a drawing and handed it to the bearded man.
"Just install it according to the method shown in the drawing!"
The bearded man took the drawing, glanced at it and nodded.
"You guys hold on to the rope, you guys lift the axis up, and you..."
He commanded with a loud voice, and soon he replaced the axis. After replacing it, he tried to open and pull up the heavy door, and it became much smoother.
The bearded man bowed respectfully to Xia Jin, "The city lord is preparing a banquet for the master in the city, please!"
Xia Jin walked into the city, with the bearded man leading the way. Along the way, the streets here looked similar to those in other cities.
A road large enough for three carriages to pass, with exquisite shops on both sides, including restaurants, inns, medical clinics, martial arts schools, and even a large escort agency.
You know, you can't find an escort agency of this size in Tongluo Lane in Bianjing City. This is the first time Xia Jin has seen such a large escort agency.
Seeing Xia Jin staring there, the bearded man explained: "This is the Qinglong Escort Agency. Because there is no one to control the area and there are many bandits, the incoming goods need to be protected by the Escort Agency. This Qinglong Escort Agency is the best choice. If
If the master needs to escort something in the future, you can come here and give me Hu Laosan’s name, and you can get a discount!”
Hu Laosan chuckled and explained: "The escort leader Li inside is my brother-in-law!"
"Master, this must be your first time coming to Xuerong City, right?" Hu Laosan asked.
Xia Jin looked at him and nodded, "Brother Hu, please tell me what I need to pay attention to!"
Hearing him calling him eldest brother, Hu Laosan quickly waved his hand, "I don't dare take it! If Master doesn't dislike it, just call me Lao Hu like everyone else!"
"Actually, Xuerong City is similar to the outside world. If I have to say it is different, it is that there is no one to control it. Fights often happen. As long as no one is killed, the city lord will not care about it. But if someone is killed, no matter what the reason, they will be punished.
Expelled! By the way, there is another principle that needs to be paid attention to, that is, you must not hit a woman!"
Xia Jin raised his eyebrows, this city lord was quite interesting.
Hu Laosan continued: "Everyone knows that the city lord is henpecked. This ban was actually set by the city lord's wife. Everyone knows this, but they cannot say it out!"
Xia Jin suddenly realized that she was henpecked...
"In a moment, the city lord will host a banquet. Master, there is no need to be restrained in the past. Our city lord likes talented people the most. For a powerful blacksmith like the master, the city lord will definitely take it very seriously!"
While talking, they arrived at the city lord's mansion.
Hu Laosun and Xia Jin went in together. As soon as they walked in, Xia Jin was blinded by the wealthy man's gold-encrusted jade partition.
Continuing walking, the floor is actually paved and polished with obsidian, and the bricks on the side are also a type of bluestone. In the capital, this large brick would cost at least ten taels of silver.
Xia Jin couldn't help but click her tongue. No wonder people say that Xuerong Mountain is rich in mines. Now, she believes it!
If we were not rich, how could we withstand such a thing?
We walked through the corridor and arrived at the main banquet hall in the backyard. Today's banquet was held outdoors, with blooming lotus flowers on the side, a low antique-style red lacquer table and red lacquer utensils, which gave it a unique charm.
At this moment, in the middle of the banquet, there was a woman dancing gracefully. She danced gracefully with bare feet. Even Xia Jin found it pleasing to the eyes.
He couldn't help but take another look.
"This is..." A rich man's voice interrupted Xia Jin who was admiring the beauty.
"Lord City Lord, this is the forger sent by the mining village to install the axis. He is a master of the Silver Order!" Hu Laosun said.
Upon hearing the words "Baiyin Order", all eyes fell on Xia Jin.
"You are so young and have such talent. You are really young and promising! Master, please take a seat!" City Lord Li Xiaotian said.
Xia Jin sat at the low table on one side and sat on the soft cushions on the floor. After sitting down, she looked at the city lord Li Xiaotian.
This is a middle-aged man in his early fifties, with double eyelids, a high bridge of his nose, lips that are neither thin nor thick, and he looks decent.
It's just that the clothes are too rich, but it gives me a sense of being a nouveau riche.
He was wearing a satin double-breasted robe, and a square hat with a circle of fluff around the edge. The brocade fabric was glowing with light, and it was obvious that there was gold thread hidden inside... It was full of luxury...
"The city gate has been repaired, and now I can finally feel at ease!" Li Xiaotian said with emotion.
"Thanks to my father's foresight, I chose a nearby mining village. Just like following my elder brother's advice to find Lijiazhuang, which is far away, I'm afraid it won't be completed so quickly." said the second young master, Lian Yan.
"Father's foresight is what we as sons look up to. Second brother, have you done anything to repair the city gate this time? You are the first to say something sarcastic!" the eldest young master Li Feng snorted coldly and said.
"Do I need my eldest brother to see what I've done or not? My eldest brother is hooking up with some random people, and the yard is full of people!" Ion Yan sneered.
Li Feng glared at him, "Liong Yan, what are you talking about? What do you mean when you go to Yihongyuan to hook up with those women all day long?"
"Okay, there are guests here, what are you arguing about?" Li Xiaotian scolded.
Li Feng and Lion Yan turned their heads away in dissatisfaction with each other and stopped talking.
Li Xiaotian looked at Xia Jin and said: "To make the master laugh, these are my eldest son and second son. They have liked to argue since they were young, but when it comes to work and ability, they are definitely the safest! I hope to have a long relationship with the master in the future.
Cooperation!"
As he spoke, he raised his glass.
Xia Jin looked at the silver wine glass in her hand. Xiao Douding found out the news for her, saying that the eldest young master of Lijia and the second young master were not on good terms. Now it seems that there is no truth at all.
However, this city lord has a very thick filter when looking at his son...
Even though this is the case, I don’t forget to praise you.
Next, Li Xiaotian introduced his five sons and three daughters to Xia Jin, praising each one of them.
Until, when it came to the Ninth Young Master, he automatically skipped it.
Xia Jin looked at the young man sitting in the last row. He lowered his head. The clothes on his body were much simpler than those of other young masters. They were just simple blue and green without too many patterns and decorations. This simplicity was much better than that of the city lord.
