Early the next morning, Chai Shao and the others took a cart full of wine and meat, said goodbye to Xiao Han, and continued their journey.
They came out this time not to enjoy the mountains and rivers, but to carry out the emperor's orders. Naturally, they could not stay in one place for a long time.
"Hey, Lao Wu, why do I remember that last night, Xiao Han told you that if a Taoist priest comes to your door in the future and wants to read your daughter's fortune, especially a Taoist named Yuan, he must be beaten out with a stick?"
Holding on to the railing of the boat and looking at the pier that was gradually moving away, Chai Shao suddenly remembered what happened last night, so he turned to ask the warrior Yan.
When the warrior Yi heard this, he also frowned.
It's okay if Chai Shao didn't say it. Once he did, he seemed to remember such a sentence.
But because I was already drunk at the time, I can’t remember the details of what I said.
"Maybe, it's just a joke!" Warrior Yan thought for a while, but had no idea, so he could only answer perfunctorily, but in his heart, he kept the word "Taoist" firmly in his heart.
My old friends say goodbye, and my sorrow is getting further and further away.
Standing on the edge of the pier, Xiao Han broke off a willow tree and threw it into the water, wishing his old friend a safe journey.
After coming to the Tang Dynasty for so long, he has gradually become a real Tang Dynasty person.
Faced with the sorrow of divorce, my mood naturally dropped a lot. I was bored at home for a long time. It wasn't until Yin Can came to the door in the afternoon that I managed to cheer up.
"Hey, hey, hey! I heard you were very bold and unrestrained after drinking last night? You are so leisurely and carefree, so you don't care about the affairs of the academy? Where is the husband who promised me?"
In the living room, Yin Can scolded Xiao Han unceremoniously, with the same attitude as a creditor scolding a poor guy who doesn't pay back his debts.
"Hurry, hurry! You know how to hurry, how many days have passed? It doesn't take time to travel? Even if you fly, you have to fly for a while!"
After being scolded, Xiao Han became angry. He held his forehead and started to talk to Yin Can with a bad attitude.
When Yin Can saw this, he showed no sign of weakness and patted the table and said, "Okay! Putting aside the matter of sir, where are the textbooks you said you were going to get? I haven't even seen a piece of paper yet!"
"Want textbooks? Did you bring the money?!" Xiao Han's voice was even louder!
"Money? What money?" Sure enough, evil people are like springs. If you are weak, they will become stronger! As soon as Xiao Han made a move, Yin Can was scared.
"What money? Humph!" Seeing this, Xiao Han became even more rude. He stretched out a slap, waved it back and forth in front of Yin Can several times and said, "You owe me five thousand dollars! Don't even think about defaulting on the debt. I saw it at the beginning.
It’s your face that’s why I didn’t let you write a note! If you don’t give it, I will go to the street tomorrow to put up a banner with the words “Mojia Juzi will not repay his debts”! Let’s see if you are embarrassed?”
"You... fart! When did I owe you money?" Yin Can almost laughed out loud at Xiao Han.
When had he ever owed money to someone? Did he still owe Xiao Han money? Could it be that this guy drank too much yesterday and lent him money in his dream?
Yin Can was at a loss, but Xiao Han glanced at him sideways and continued to hum: "Hey, did you really forget or did you pretend to forget? Come on, let me remind you: Let's make a bet, print a book, five thousand coins
!”
"That's a bet. Besides, you haven't won yet!"
When Yin Can heard this, he almost jumped up and shouted! The handsome and graceful young master in the past was now made like a shrew by Xiao Han.
"I didn't win?" Xiao Han was unmoved by Yin Can's gnashing of teeth. He picked out his ears and said, "Well, I'll let you see it when I have free time today, so that you can know whether I won or not!"
"Tch, who doesn't know how to brag?"
"Hey, I have such a bad temper! Have you got your craftsman yet?"
"Hmph, the person has arrived a long time ago. I came here today just to give it to you!"
Hearing what Yin Can said, Xiao Han didn't care whether he had entered the door or not, he dug a hole for himself to jump in, stood up with the chair and walked outside.
Anyway, this skill has been sold for 5,000 guan, so it doesn’t really matter if I give it to people sooner or later.
The two of them came to the pavilion in the side yard one after another, and asked Xiaodong to bring the carpenters together.
Standing in the pavilion, Xiao Han thought for a while, and then asked people to go to the study to find paper and inkstones, as well as a few thigh-thick pieces of wood.
It's okay to talk about this wood. Historically, golden nan's wood was not worth much if it was so big.
But the paper they brought was all the best bamboo paper! It was tough and elastic, countless times better than soft straw paper, but of course, it was also countless times more expensive.
There are also ink blocks in the inkstone, which are also the best pine smoke ink. They are thick and dark, and the written words not only have a light fragrance, but also have the effect of repelling insects. They are the first choice for wealthy literati and poets!
However, as soon as these two things were taken out, Yin Can's face suddenly turned dark!
Because he knows very well: If Xiao Han's calligraphy method must use these two materials, then even if it is easy to use, it will not be of much use!
In his ideal, the best printing method should be a quick and cheap printing method, not something that is almost luxurious like this!
After all, how many people in the market can afford these two things? With this kind of money, it would be better for him to hire a few poor scholars to copy it by hand!
Yin Can opened his mouth, intending to say something, but Yin Can held back in the end.
However, he also made up his mind: let's see first! If the final solution is not good and you still want money? Then let Xiao Han go and pursue his spring and autumn dream!
Not long after the paper and ink were delivered, several carpenters were brought over by Xiaodong.
Xiao Han raised his eyes and saw that several craftsmen were all dressed in plain clothes, standing there with some fear, not even knowing where to put their eyes.
Especially when Xiao Han looked over, he became even more at a loss, as if he had done something wrong!
However, we really can’t blame them!
They are all craftsmen, and they usually rely on their craftsmanship to make a living in the sect. Now they are following Junzi's orders and want to steal their craftsmanship. How can they not feel uneasy about this kind of behavior?
Xiao Han also discovered this at this time, and laughed secretly in his heart, but he didn't expose it. Instead, he crossed his legs, glanced at them and said, "What, you got the saw, plane, and carving knife?"
"Huh?" When several people heard Xiao Han's sudden question, they subconsciously looked at Yin Can. When they saw the black line on their face, they suddenly came back to their senses and nodded repeatedly: "Take it... take it! They are all eating guys.
, take it with you."
When Xiao Han saw this scene, he didn't know what to say. The spy you were looking for was too amateur, right? Are you afraid that others won't be able to tell?
He coughed twice and glared at Yin Can again, only to find that the guy was raising his head and looking at the pavilion seriously, as if he wanted to see clearly the workmanship of this pavilion and which famous artist made it.
Seeing this, Xiao Han could only shake his head helplessly, "Hey, we are all old masters, so let's get started! Let's first make these pieces of wood into small strips. Pay attention that the strips must be exactly the same, and try to make as many as possible."
