"Wen Rang stays, everyone else is back!"

Wu Qian's face was extremely serious, and he waved his sleeves and sat down on the chair.

"Yes, lord!" The housekeeper and the servants all bowed and left the living room.

"Is my nephew so optimistic that I can move into the Shu Mansion?" Wu Qian stared at the wine glass and asked seriously after a long time.

"It's the Duke of Chong!" Zhao Qi bowed with a smile.

"Okay, as long as your words come true, I will naturally do my best to do my best and will not disappoint Your Majesty and the people of the world!" After a while, Wu Qian nodded slightly.

"Haha, the old horse is in the stable, and his ambition is thousands of miles away. Old Wu is fighting spirit and will be brave. We congratulate you in advance!" Ye Mengding's laughter broke the dullness in the living room.

"It's not simple, it's not simple. This words came from my friend's mouth, which really surprised me. Last time, you said that every man is responsible for the rise and fall of the world. I also agree with it. It should be worth drinking and celebrating!" Wu Wenying also came back from his surprise and praised him repeatedly, and then said with a smile, "As the saying goes, good things come together, and my friend gives me three gifts to Duke Chongguo. Can you only give me the lampshade of Xijian?"

"Your Majesty Jue is here for a while, and you will certainly have the two gentlemen!" Zhao Qi walked to the front of the wooden box again, took out two long wooden boxes from it and put them on the table to open it, revealing two pieces of crystal glass, a purple-red gourd and an emerald green vase. The appearance is smooth and crystal clear, and the golden silk liner looks extremely luxurious.

"This gourd is given to Jueweng, and this vase is given to Mr. Xijian. This glass is of no use except for its good looks, but it is placed on the desk as an ornament, and it is pleasing to the eye when you look at it."

"Haha, thank you little friend!" Wu Wenying held the crystal gourd in her arms and her excited beard shook her excited beard.

"I was going to leave Yin County to go to the capital to take office tomorrow. I didn't expect that I would get these two rare treasures before leaving. It's really good luck. Thank you, my friend!" Ye Mengding also looked happy and smiled at his own crystal vase.

"Congratulations to Mr. Xijian for his re-release. Since that's the case, I'll give you a gift like a sir!" Zhao Qi smiled and bowed. Everyone thought that Zhao Qi would go to the wooden box to get things again, but Zhao Qi did not move. Instead, he pointed out the door and said, "Mr. Xijian will definitely be transferred to the magistrate of the foreign state when he goes to the capital. Therefore, the journey along the way is long and bumpy. The kid builds a new carriage, which just so that the gentleman will not be too hard on the road!"

"Issued to the state?" Ye Mengding was stunned for a moment and his face looked slightly ugly.

"My friend has made a mistake. Ding You, the Minister of Rites and the Priest of the Imperial College in Xijian, was originally a minister of the Ministry of Rites and the Imperial College. He was also a composer of Jiying Palace and a lecturer of Hanlin. He was a fourth-rank official of the court and should be in the capital. How could he be the governor of other states?" Wu Wenying spoke in surprise.

"Haha, this is just a speculation of the boy. At the moment, Ding Daquan is in power, and all the officials in the capital have to curry favor with him. If Mr. Xijian wants to resume his post, he will be afraid that he will squeeze out others. Moreover, he will be in trouble with Ding Daquan. Mr. Xijian thinks he can sit with Ding Daquan and taste tea and discuss poetry?" Zhao Qi asked with a smile.

Ye Mengding's face became even more ugly. He was stunned for a long time after shaking his head, "I would rather not be an official than be an official than be a member of Ding Daquan!"

"That's it, so Mr. Xijian will probably soon be in charge of foreign states when he goes to the capital, but no matter where he goes, he will have to work hard. This car is just right!" Zhao Qi said with a smile.

"My friend is intent. Although my family is not a huge wealthy man, I have all kinds of carriages, horses and slaves, so how can I win someone's love? What's more, I have already received two precious gifts from my friend today. I don't want this carriage!" Ye Mengding shook his head and said thanks.

"Although horse-drawn carriages are common, Mr. Xijian should not refuse urgently, because my carriage is different and is definitely not comparable to ordinary carriages!"

"Mr. Xijian, Zhao Dalang's carriage is indeed a bit strange. Do you want to go and see it?" The middle-aged scholar who had been standing next to him and didn't speak suddenly whispered.

"Well, even Wen Rang said this. I'm interested. Let's go and see what the carriage that Nephew Zhao wants to give to Xijian looks like?" Wu Qian also became interested. He stood up and walked outside. The middle-aged scholar led the way. Wu Wenying and Ye Mengding followed him out, and Chen Ji and Yao Ran and Zhao Qi walked at the end.

"Brother Zhao, you are going to give away this carriage just after you have finished?" Yao Ran murmured in a low voice.

"It's just a car, I'll give you personal favors, and I'll accept personal favors. Mr. Xijian has the talent of the country. In the future, he will return me a hundred carriages. This is just an advance investment!" Zhao Qi explained in a low voice.

"You're so optimistic about him?" Chen Ji didn't even agree.

Ye Mengding is indeed talented, but he is only famous in Qingyuan Prefecture. In fact, he has been in the officialdom for more than ten years and has nothing special. He has been in the officialdom for decades. Most of his career has been in the foreign prefectures. It was only a few years ago that he became a Beijing official. Moreover, he returned home because his mother died for two years. This was the time when Ding Daquan rose rapidly, squeezing Dong Huai and squeezing away the two prime ministers Wu Qian and dominating the court.

Moreover, Ye Mengding is not very popular in the court. Nowadays, there are many high-ranking officials in the Song Dynasty who are more famous than Ye Mengding.

Zhao Qi smiled and turned the topic elsewhere. Soon a group of people walked out of the living room and came to the side yard. At this time, dozens of people were surrounded by servants and guards from Wu Qian's mansion. They were gathering in a large four-wheeled carriage with Gagaga. A girl in a scattered green dress was sitting in the carriage with a few maids looking around, her face full of surprise.

"The Duke is here!"

Hearing the footsteps, a group of servants quickly dispersed and saluted, while Wu Qian and others were also a little dazed when they looked at the strange-style carriage in front of them.

"Grandpa!" The girl quickly got out of the car with a few maids, and stood beside her with blushing cheeks down with her head rushing and restlessly.

"Is this the new carriage you made?" After a while, Wu Qian came to his senses and turned his head to look at Zhao Qi with a strange face.

"Returning to Duke Chong, this is a new car I had a sudden whim a few days ago!" Zhao Qi replied with a smile.

"There are not no four-wheeled carriages, but the road is inconvenient and the turns are not flexible. Did the craftsmen who built the carriage not remind you?" Wu Qian asked again.

"The Chongguo Gong made sense, but the carriage designed by the boy is very flexible in turning and convenient to travel. Now I will let the coachman demonstrate to you..."

Zhao Qi glanced at the young man sitting on a stone stool next to him eating watermelon. "Winter melon, come and help Chongguogong demonstrate the walking turns of this four-wheeled carriage!"

"Okay!" The winter melon threw away the watermelon skin and lifted up her clothes to wipe her mouth clean. Then she jumped onto the carriage and sat with her hands like a tractor. She pedaled on each of her feet, gently shook the reins and then threw a whip. With a snap, the horse pulled the carriage and moved slowly. Then as the horse turned around in the yard, the two front wheels actually began to turn along. Then the entire lengthened carriage, which was more than 10 meters long, quickly turned in a space of less than ten meters, and it was flexibly and relaxed.

"Wow~" The onlookers instantly let out a commotion and exclaim.

"Magic, it's so amazing. The front and rear wheels of this carriage can turn separately!"

"That's right, I've seen many four-wheeled carriages before, and they can only go straight. If you turn, you have to take a big circle. This car is indeed unique."

"Look at what's under the car?"

Seeing the carriage circling in front of him, after the three old men were surprised, Wu Qian did not care about the mess on the ground, and squatted down and lay on the ground to look at the chassis. After a while, he held his hat with a weird face.

"Duke Chongguo has seen it clearly!" Ye Mengding smiled and hurried forward to support him.

"I didn't see it very clearly, but it was indeed hidden. The frame between the front and rear wheels was connected together by a rivet, so that it could rotate flexibly. Although it was simple, it was a whim!" Wu Qian explained while tidying up his clothes.

"Okay, OK, stop!" Since Wu Qian saw clearly, Zhao Qi stopped the carriage, then led Wu Qian and the other two into the carriage, pointed to the seats on both sides and said: "Please look at Duke Chongguo. In order to be comfortable sitting, I asked someone to weave two benches with rattan and bamboo strips. These two benches can be sat on ordinary times, but if you are tired from the road, you can open them and put them down and lie down..."

When Zhao Qi was speaking, he opened the buckles on both sides of one of the benches and turned over the chair. It was a small bed less than half a foot high, about two meters long and about three feet wide. It was just right for a person to lie on it. If the chairs on both sides were placed, there would be a corridor of more than a foot wide in the middle.

"In addition to this bed, because the carriage is wide enough, there is also a small wooden cabinet in front and back, which can hold some food, drink, toilet and other supplies on the road. If the design is more clever, you can also install a bucket, stove and other items. In this way, when you are tired of traveling on the road, you can directly cook water, tea and even make some simple meals to satisfy your hunger. However, because this car has just been made, there are still many places that need to be improved, and the roof and carriage have not been built..."

Zhao Qi took the three of them to watch the introduction in the carriage, and only saw the three old men scratching their ears and cheeks, and Ye Mengding didn't refuse at this time. He sat on the soft bench and couldn't stop smiling: "Fortunately, I would have missed such a good thing. My friend is honest with me, I want this car!"

"Tsk tsk, this car is a must-have for home travel. After building the ceiling and carriage, even if you sleep in the wilderness, it will be like a small house that can shelter from wind and rain. I am a little jealous!" Wu Wenying sat on the bench and kept exclaiming.
Chapter completed!
