The next day, there were guests.
It was Zhangsun Chong, the eldest son of Zhangsun Wuji and the consort of Princess Li Lizhi of Changle.
Li Yin recalled his past memories. He did not seem to have any interactions with this Zhangsun Chong.
"Haha, Your Highness has a lot of women on your left and right.”When Zhangsun rushed in, he saw the two prostitutes that Li had redeemed yesterday. One was massaging Li's legs, and the other was massaging Li's shoulders.
"I didn't know that Brother Zhangsun had arrived and didn't welcome you. I hope you can forgive me. You, right, what's your name?”Li asked the courtesan who had just massaged his legs.
"Young master, my name is Du Shiniang. This is the name you gave me, young master.”The woman was not very old either, only about 14 or 15 years old. In a brothel, anyone over 20 years old would be considered an old lady. It wasn't that he was old, but that he had been played too many times and had lost his novelty!
"Oh, oh, right. Shiniang, go make tea for Brother Zhangsun.”Li Yin instructed.
"Young Master, I asked Sister Xiang 'er this morning. There's no tea at home.”
"Oh, then forget it. Brother Zhangsun won't mind.”Li Yin said.
Zhangsun Chong was speechless. How do you know I don't mind? Was there such a way to welcome guests? Isn't that too insincere?
However, Zhangsun Chong had come to befriend Li Yin this time, so he did not care about these trifles. Instead, he felt that Li Yin was a very free and easy person.
"Your Highness, your residence is a little too shabby. It's also far from the city. It takes more than two hours to go back and forth. How about this, my family has a residence in Dunhua Lane. It was just repaired two years ago. It has all the items and servants. If Your Highness likes it, you can stay there first.”Zhangsun Chong said.
Li Yin immediately revealed a surprised expression and asked hesitantly,"This…this isn't very good, right? The house in Dunhua Lane is so expensive, how can I accept it? Fine, since it's Brother Zhangsun's kind intentions, if I don't accept it, then I'm not giving Brother Zhangsun face. I'll accept this residence. Brother Zhangsun is indeed a sincere person.”
Zhangsun Chong's mouth opened into an 'O' shape as he looked at Li Yin in disbelief. He really wanted to ask Li Yin,'Did I say that I gave that house to you?' I only said that you should stay there for a while, okay? Also, even if I let you stay there, that's just an excuse! Shouldn't a normal person reject such a situation? Shouldn't he say,'Thank you for your kindness, but I prefer the place I'm staying at now'?
He was waiting for Li Yin's answer. Then, he would praise Li Yin's 'noble character and integrity' and 'feel regretful' that his house was empty! Why was the script different from what he had imagined?
That house was not empty! For the sake of this residence, the Zhangsun family's branch families had fought for it.
What should he do now? Move the branch family of the Zhangsun Clan out of that residence?
But he was only the eldest son of the Zhangsun Clan, not Zhangsun Wuji! He didn't have the authority to give away such a valuable house to someone else.
But words were like water that had been poured out. He couldn't go back on his word now, right?
"Brother Zhangsun, let's go and take a look at the house now. Let me tell you, I've wanted to buy a house for a long time, but unfortunately, I don't have much money. Brother Zhangsun is really timely!”
Zhangsun Chong hurriedly said," That…Your Highness, I just came here and I'm tired from the journey. It won't be too late for us to go and take a look at this residence tomorrow. It won't run away anyway."”
"Haha, alright then. It's settled then. We'll go look at the residence together tomorrow.”
"Haha, alright." Zhangsun Chong replied with a fake smile.
Li changed the topic at the right time and chatted with Zhangsun Chong. As they chatted, the two of them walked out of the courtyard side by side.
When he saw Zhangsun Chong's carriage, Li Yin's eyes lit up. The two horses pulling the carriage were tall and majestic, much stronger than the short horses he had bought for ten taels of silver. There was also a car. It was obvious that it was made of expensive wood!
"Brother Zhangsun, you're too polite. You know that I don't have a carriage, and you even sent me a carriage. This…How can I feel sorry for this? Xiao Liuzi, Xiao Liuzi, where the hell did he go? Hurry up and feed these two horses. If you starve and lose weight, I'll beat you to death!”
Zhangsun Chong was a little stunned. The car that he had just asked someone to build half a month ago was gone? It was gone just like that?
When Zhangsun Chong saw that 'Little Sixth' had already pulled the horse down from the shaft of the carriage, he raised his hand and wanted to stop him. However, he was too embarrassed to say it.
Forget it, he had already given away the residence, what else was missing was this carriage?
At this moment, a middle-aged man ran in."Young Master, the thing you asked me to make is ready. Shall I show it to you now?”
"Oh? Let's go and take a look! Brother Zhangsun, you're really lucky to be able to see a great invention that transcends centuries, no, transcends dynasties!”Li Yin said happily.
"Alright, then I'll go take a look with Your Highness.”Zhangsun Chong was also a little curious. What could make Li Yin so excited?
The few of them came to the well of the manor and saw a thin wooden barrel placed above the well. No, when they walked in, they saw that it was not a wooden barrel because the top was sealed. The bottom extended all the way to the well. Beside it, there was a bamboo pipe for unknown use. There was also a wheel with a rocking lever. However, this wheel was a little different from the other wells. There was no rope wrapped around it.
"Carpenter Liu, give it a try." Li Yin said to Carpenter Liu, who had created this thing.
"Yes, Young Master." Carpenter Liu took a bucket and placed it under the bamboo pipe. Then, he shook the lever. Soon, water flowed out of the bamboo pipe. In just a few seconds, a wooden bucket was filled with water and spilled all over the ground. Carpenter Liu quickly stopped.
Everyone was extremely surprised. This water actually came up on its own. Wasn't this too magical?
Carpenter Liu said excitedly," Young Master, with this thing, not only will it save energy when fetching water in the future, but it will also be much faster." If it was used for irrigation, it would be even more convenient. One person could irrigate at least 100 mu of land a day. Even a woman or a child could use this to irrigate their fields.”# Daguan Review Passed: Daguan Time:011720194:50PM
