At noon, Li Zexuan finished his meal and prepared to go back to the West Courtyard to take a nap. This guy was more carefree than some of the modern civil servants. He only worked half a day and rested for two days every five days. There was no one else like him. Perhaps even Li Er's quality of life was not as good as his!
As soon as he arrived at the West Courtyard, he saw Lan 'er following him. Li Zexuan rubbed his head with a headache. With this little devil around, how could he sleep at noon!
"Lan 'er, what's the matter?"
"Yes, yes!"
Lan 'er quickly nodded. The little girl looked around and then mysteriously pushed Li Zexuan into the room. She hurriedly asked, "Brother, have you noticed anything wrong with Iron Egg recently?"
Li Zexuan patted his clothes that were messed up by his little sister's pushing and shoving. When he heard this boring question, he couldn't help but roll his eyes.
"What could be wrong?"
"Of course there is. Brother, as a master, why don't you care about your disciple at all?"
Li Zexuan said angrily, "How do you know that I don't care? Don't I check on his progress every day? "
"No, no, I'm saying that you don't care about Iron Egg's inner feelings!"
Li Zexuan was a little confused by Lan 'er's words. He asked impatiently, "Lan' er, what do you want to say? Just say it!"
"Hmph, you're really unqualified as a master. Haven't you noticed that Iron Egg has become more and more silent recently? He even talks to me less often! "
Lan 'er pouted and said with a face full of dissatisfaction.
"Isn't this normal? Iron Egg has to practice and go to school. How can he have so much time to chat with you? "
"That's not it! Iron Egg used to practice and go to school. But every afternoon after class, he would come to play with Lan 'er. But recently, after Iron Egg came back, he didn't look for Lan' er anymore. Brother, go and check on Iron Egg at night. What I said is true. "
Lan 'er said anxiously.
The more Li Zexuan listened to his little sister, the more mysterious she became. But in order to avoid being pestered, he could only agree, "Okay, okay, okay. I'll go and take a look tonight!"
"Hehe, thank you, brother!"
Lan 'er smiled sweetly. Li Zexuan's heart melted when he heard that. He thought to himself that his little sister was becoming more and more coquettish!
After Lan 'er achieved her goal, she did not cause any more trouble in the west courtyard. Li Zexuan's ears finally had some peace. He moved the recliner to the entrance where he could feel the cool breeze. Then, he put on the eye mask that he asked Xiao Xi to sew for him and laid down on the recliner, taking a beautiful afternoon nap.
…
After an unknown amount of time, Li Zexuan felt a few drops of cold water dripping on his face. He subconsciously wiped his face, thinking that it was raining. He instantly woke up and saw Lan 'er holding a dripping towel, laughing mischievously beside him.
"Oh, Lan 'er, didn't I just promise you? What else do you want? Stop fooling around. Let me sleep for a while more! "
Li Zexuan was about to throw a tantrum when his afternoon nap was interrupted. However, when he saw his little sister's innocent smile, his temper instantly died down. However, he still said unwillingly.
"Brother, brother, don't sleep anymore. Faubert sent someone over to say that the new car you asked for is ready. Quickly accompany Lan 'er to sit in the beautiful new car!"
Lan 'er grabbed Li Zexuan's arm and kept shaking it. She was like a little sparrow chirping in Li Zexuan's ear.
Li Zexuan was just thinking that if Lan 'er was still here, he would tell her a ghost story to scare her away. However, when he heard that the new car was ready, he immediately sat up and said excitedly,
"Lan 'er, where's the new car? Has it been sent over? "
"It's still in the workshop. Faubert said that he wants you to go over and see if there's anything that needs to be changed. Brother, bring Lan 'er along! "
Previously, Li Zexuan had told her about the new car a few times. According to Li Zexuan's description, Lan 'er had always been looking forward to the new car. Now that she heard that the new car was ready, how could she hold herself back?
Li Zexuan laughed heartily and stood up. He rubbed Lan 'er's head and said with a smile, "Alright! I'll bring you along! "
Ignoring Lan 'er's cheers behind him, Li Zexuan went out and asked Xiao Xi to get a basin of water to wash his face. He instantly felt refreshed. San Bao brought Da Bai over. Li Zexuan carried Lan' er and got on the horse. He laughed loudly and said, "Let's go! Let's go look at the car! "
Hehe, I can't afford a BMW, Mercedes-Benz, or Ferrari in the modern era. Then, I'll make my own luxury car in the Tang Dynasty!
Li Zexuan thought proudly in his heart.
…
Accompanied by the clatter of the horse's hooves on the ground, the siblings arrived at the workshop in a short while. When they walked into the workshop, they saw a huge four-wheeled carriage that was about 12 feet long and 3 feet wide. The sides of the carriage were angular and there were some exquisite carvings. The dark red paint on it gave people a sense of low-key luxury.
Compared to the current four-foot-long and two-foot-wide ordinary carriage, this luxury "luxury car" looked like a huge beast from afar. Moreover, it had four wheels, so it looked more stable.
Li Zexuan was very satisfied just by looking at its appearance. Only then did he have the time to look around the carriage. He discovered that other than Uncle Fu, Yan Shaoning had also come today. This guy had not been seen for a while, so he did not know where he went.
"Hey, Brother Shaoning is here today. It's rare. We haven't seen each other for a long time. Brother Shaoning, how have you been?"
Li Zexuan held Lan 'er's hand and walked over quickly to greet Yan Shaoning.
Yan Shaoning said with a bitter face, "The workshop has been so lively recently. Of course, I wanted to come and take a look. However, some time ago, His Majesty ordered the Ministry of Works to mass produce curved plows and promote them to other provinces and counties. The Ministry of Works is short of manpower. My father recruited temporary craftsmen from the public and took me to be a supervisor. I was released today and heard that you made something good, so I came to take a look."
Li Zexuan looked at this poor kid sympathetically and patted him on the shoulder. He smiled and said, "Haha, it's good that you're here. You're the technical director of our workshop. Without you, our workshop's progress has slowed down a lot!"
Yan Shaoning's mechanical talent was undeniable. He was even better than Faubert. In the future, he could become a god. With such an awesome engineer, Li Zexuan was very assured about the workshop's future development.
Yan Shaoning could not help but roll his eyes. He had just jumped out of the pit that his father had dug for him. Why did he feel that he had jumped into Li Zexuan's pit? This kid was obviously treating him as a coolie! However, he still had 10% of the workshop's shares. This counted as working for himself, right?
Yan Shaoning's mood improved a little when he thought of this.
He was too lazy to care about Li Zexuan. He came over and pulled Lan 'er. He smiled gently and said, "Let's go, Sister Lan' er. Brother Shaoning will take you to see the new carriage!"
"Okay, okay!"
The two of them jumped directly into the carriage. Li Zexuan was immediately stunned and hurriedly cried out, "Hey, this is my carriage!"
After saying that, he hurriedly chased after them.
