At noon, the servant delivered lunch directly to the courtyard.
Throughout the afternoon, Shen Han and Mr. Xu studied casting techniques together.
It wasn't until Youshi, dinner time, that we stopped.
Throughout the afternoon, Mr. Xu's eyes seemed to be shining all the time.
Usually he can only study casting techniques by himself and hire some blacksmiths, but they don't seem to be very good at speaking.
Communicating with them is always on the same page.
He wanted to hire a more powerful forger, but Magistrate Xu was not very supportive, and he didn't have the face to hire one.
Today, Shen Han brought him a lot of new things, things he had never known before.
I also recorded them all for him so that I can study them slowly in the future.
Dinner is arranged in the hall.
In the past, Mr. Xu always ate in his courtyard, but today it seemed that he was thinking of Shen Han's arrival, so they went to the hall to eat together.
"The prefect is so kind and loving. Shen Han is really envious of Mr. Xu."
This statement is true.
Compared to his own father, Magistrate Xu could not be better.
"It's a pity that kindness is of no use. The son doesn't understand his father's suffering at all."
When Magistrate Xu said this, he felt a little aggrieved.
This is what a father should be like. He would feel aggrieved because of his son's incomprehension.
Apart from scolding, his father seemed to have no communication with him.
If he comes back this year, I don't know how he will feel when he knows that the Shen family is preparing to sacrifice himself.
At the dinner table, although Shen Han rarely ate such delicious dishes, he still maintained his etiquette.
"I received news from the capital today that the eighth young master of your Shen family is returning in a carriage."
Magistrate Xu deliberately reminded Shen Han.
"That child is still young, but according to friends in the capital, he is extremely talented and now has the strength of an eighth-grade scholar.
Moreover, he acts deviantly and is not afraid of anything.
I am really afraid that he will take action against you."
Shen Han understood what Magistrate Xu was worried about.
Shen Ao, the eighth young master of the Shen family, is just a young child.
If you are disabled by a child, although you can punish him, it should not be too harsh.
Being young is his best get-out-of-jail-free card.
A word of ignorance can block many accusations.
"Thank you, Lord Magistrate, for the tip. I will pay attention to it."
After dinner, Shen Han stopped bothering him and was led away by the servants of Fuyuan.
In the hall, Mr. Xu did not leave immediately today and went to his yard to forge iron.
"You kid, do you have anything to say to me?"
"Brother Shen Han said that I should have a better relationship with my father so that he can visit me again next time.
So, I want to talk to my father."
Magistrate Xu was stunned for a moment, then frowned slightly.
This method of pleasing oneself is indeed a bit old-fashioned.
"Shen Han just talked about some casting techniques with you, and you really want to help him?"
"It's not that I'm helping Brother Shen, it's that I wanted to talk to my father, but I just didn't know how to speak."
Back home, Shen Han felt that he had gained a lot today.
Firstly, it is now clear that Magistrate Xu is willing to protect himself because, whether it is for profit or not, he is willing to protect himself.
Secondly, although Mr. Xu's casting skills are not up to the level of a master, Shen Han also gained a lot of casting experience through today's exchange.
Moreover, Mr. Xu has no shortage of casting materials. If he needs them, he is willing to share them for his own use.
It's getting later and later.
Shen Han lay on the bed and continued to visualize "The Sword Power of Heaven" in his mind.
After feeling tired, I started to fall asleep and rest.
But he was still thinking about Magistrate Xu’s reminder in his mind.
The eighth young master of the Shen family is coming back.
At a young age, Shen Ao is known as the second genius of the Shen family.
As the younger brother of Tianjiao Chenye, he is also extremely talented.
In Beijing, many people even call him Xiao Shen Ye.
Unlike Shen Ye, who was versatile in both civil and military affairs, Shen Ao only followed the path of a scholar.
At a young age, he already has the strength of the eighth level.
Shen Han didn't know much about the strength and means of scholars.
When this node comes back, there is a high probability that it will be for yourself.
It is indeed a good method to use a child to deal with yourself.
When literati practice, they cultivate spiritual power, luck, and laws.
If you want to deal with Shen Ao, a literati practitioner, mental strength should be the first priority.
In the next two days, Shen Han spent all his time visualizing "The Sword Power of Heaven".
Even in the sea of consciousness, he used the sunset sword technique to fight against the sword of heaven.
Sword moves and mental strength are both improved through practice at the same time.
Practicing hard for two days, at noon.
Mrs. Yun came again carrying a food box.
She always felt that when she was not here, Shen Han ate naan bread every day. How could he feel better after eating these things?
He took out the stacks of dishes and then sat aside, watching Shen Han eat.
"Eat slowly, and you won't miss an hour or two of practicing."
This time Mrs. Yun also brought a bowl of soup, otherwise Shen Han would drink the cold water every time.
"That kid Shen Ao is back."
"Prefect Xu told me before, but I didn't expect him to come back so soon."
Shen Han's expression did not change. With his current strength, Shen Ao may not be stronger than him.
"He came back yesterday, and I heard he has the strength of an eighth-grade scholar.
Xiaohan, although Shen Ao is still young, he is very mature and domineering.
Passing by my yard yesterday, Xiao Cailing saluted him. He seemed a little unhappy.
He said "kneel down", which made Xiao Cailing kneel down for an hour.
That place was full of stones, and when I stood up, I felt heartbroken when I saw it."
Mrs. Yun's face looked a little ugly and she was not in a good mood.
Hearing that Xiao Cailing was injured, Shen Han's face suddenly turned cold.
"Xiao Cailing, is she seriously injured?"
"No bones were hurt, just some flesh and blood pain.
That kid Shen Ao is indeed a bit overbearing. Not only did Cailing in our courtyard suffer, I heard that other servants also suffered.
If he saw that he would not kneel down, he would whisper "kneel down" and there would be a force that would force the servants to kneel to the ground.
I heard that even the maids in his mother’s courtyard, Mrs. He, didn’t escape.”
This behavior is really consistent with a powerful brat.
"I heard that the kid Shen Ao came back this time specifically for you.
He felt that you had stolen Chen Ye's sweetheart, and more than a month ago, he wanted to help his elder brother vent his anger.
How about you, Xiaohan, find an excuse to go out and practice and hide away?"
Mrs. Yun had a worried look on her face.
Shen Ao is so domineering, and his strength has reached the eighth level. The key is that he is still so favored by the elders of the Shen family.
If they meet, Shen Han will definitely suffer.
"Third Madam, don't worry, I'm not that weak, and even a stupid kid can't bully me.
If you really dare to come, if I end up crippled, I won't be able to support you."
Shen Han said some cruel words.
Especially when I heard that Xiao Cailing was injured, I felt even more resentful.
