If you praise me, you should be sure to win the exam.

Shen Rui knew that this uncle was a famous top scholar in history, but he was vaguely remembering that he was not from this subject. I don’t know if he remembered it wrong or something unexpected.

Therefore, when he saw off his brother-in-law, Shen Rui was so tired that he reminded his brother-in-law to be careful of his health. This made Yang Shen angry and funny. Isn’t it the brother who should remind him of his brother-in-law?!

However, because his brother-in-law Li Yanqing was already a juren, although he was about to take the exam next year, he did not feel that time was tight and he admired Shenzhou's name. With the recommendation of Yang Tinghe, he often came to the Shen family to ask for teaching. He passed the imperial examination and learned a lot.

To be good, he also gave Shen Rui some advice on taking the exam.

All relatives and friends knew that Shen Rui was studying hard and did not come to quarrel with him. Many banquets politely posted, but also made the servant who sent the post politely express his intentions as Mr. Shen. That is, Zhang Huixiu Mu

I came to see him, but I just sat for a while.

This time I came out of the mansion, because Shou Ge came to find him personally.

Shen Rui heard that the Xiyuan was completely completed, and Brother Shou also said that he wanted to open it to the people, so he wanted to go over and take a look, hoping to use his previous life's travel experience to check for the Xiyuan as much as possible, so as not to have many troubles in operation.

Easy to solve.

Although Brother Shou called Shen Rui, he had no temper to follow Shen Rui little by little, so he took Zhang Hui, Cai Liang, Youxuan, Gao Wenhu and others to go around.

Shen Rui and Liu Zhong and Yang Linsheng walked over with each other in the map, and talked about what needs to be added or reduced.

Shen Rui didn't come alone, he also brought Li Yanqing.

It was not because Li Yanqing happened to be in the Shen family at that time, but because Li Yanqing's family was well-educated and had great achievements in civil engineering. If he invited him to come with him, he could also put forward some modification suggestions at any time. Previously, Shen Rui proposed to cover some toilets and provide for the

When tourists rested, Li Yanqing proposed several plans to make the design more reasonable, more beautiful and better integrate into the scenery.

Li Yanqing doesn't talk much and is not very talkative when communicating with Shen Rui. But when it comes to engineering, he really has eyes and talks.

Li Yanqing was also very interested when he heard that he was going to visit Xiyuan. His father Li Qian was supervising the construction of Xiyuan a while ago, and he also had some drawings of Xiyuan at home. He was interested in reading it. It was so beautiful that he could come to the scene in advance.

Shen Rui did not mention Shou Ge's identity to Li Yanqing, but when he arrived in Xiyuan, he saw everyone holding a young man like stars, especially Liu Zhong who had met once knew his identity, and Li Yanqing was not

The fool was immediately clear and nervous, and his palms were sweating.

Fortunately, Brother Shou was playful and didn't walk with them. He chatted for a few words and then took a group of people away.

While Li Yanqing breathed a sigh of relief, he silently improved his assessment of Shen Rui in his heart, and he was more concerned about checking for missing and filling in leaks in the Xiyuan project.

Shen Rui and Li Yanqing and his group looked as they walked, marking the places they could think of and modify. After walking down a circle of scenic spots that were open to the public, the sun was already hanging high, and it was time for dinner.

Liu Zhong built a three-story restaurant in the best scenic place. As a royal shop, he was still waiting for the emperor to give it a name. Although it had not opened yet, the decoration was already stopped, and he specially prepared ingredients, so he waited for the emperor to come and have fun.

Prepare for the table.

Brother Shou happily took everyone to the Tianzi room. He pushed the window and saw the lake view. He couldn't help but praise the "wonderful".

When he returned from a horse, his head was full of sweat, and the wind was coming towards him, and he was just comfortable. He smiled and said, "If you don't carve that function word, it's called 'Hufenglou'!"

Everyone was not sure about it. Yang Linsheng was even the smartest man under Zhang Yong. He had prepared all the pens, inks, paper and inkstones, and asked Shou Ge to enumerate the name of the store on the spot.

Previously, because Shen Rui was filial, everyone was very concerned about their diet when they got together. This time, Shen Rui had already given up, and Cai Liang and others pulled Shen Rui and said that they would have to be drunk today before they could stop.

Shen Rui smiled and begged for mercy, and half true and half falsely said that he had to go back to study. If he was drunk, he was afraid that he would not get up for three days and would not get up.

Even Shou Ge smiled and said, "Don't let this vile minister get drunk and make things happen."

Everyone burst into laughter, and let Shen Rui go, and began to whine and shout.

Li Yanqing was still quite restrained. Seeing that everyone on the table, including Shou Ge, was very relaxed, just like an ordinary brother who was having a drink and playing with him, he was quite stunned, thinking whether he would talk to his old man when he went back tonight.

This matter.

While he was stunned, Zhang Hui came over with a wine cup and greeted him with a smile.

Li Yanqing was about to get up, but Zhang Hui pressed his shoulder. Shen Rui smiled and said, "Zi Che (Li Yanqing's name) is not polite to him, they are all their own brothers."

Zhang Hui smiled and said, "That's right, that's right, I love hearing Shen Er's words." He raised his hand to show his toast, "I will call you 'Brother Li San' based on my seniority."

Shen Rui pointed at him and scolded, "What a Zhang Er! He is obviously a peer-to-peer relationship, but no one can talk about seniority! Don't take advantage of us verbally."

Although Li Yanqing had never dealt with the nobles, he was not a nerd. He hurriedly picked up a wine cup and toasted it, saying "Brother Zhang".

The two of them had enough wine to drink, and Zhang Huifang smiled and said, "I can speak for you if you recognize your brother." Seeing Shen Rui's eyes joking, he hurriedly said, "Shen Er, don't make any decisions, I'm asking for my third brother if I have something to do."

Li Yan knew about the Yang family's relatives when he decided to marry the second daughter of the Yang family in the morning, and knew that Shen Rui had always been in good terms with the second son of the British Duke's Mansion. Today, he was quite proud of Zhang Hui and wanted to show his affection. , he couldn't help but feel good about it, and then smiled and said, "Brother Zhang is so serious, so how can he take the word "seeking"? If you have something to do, just give me instructions."

Zhang Hui slapped his high-high and said, "Okay, it's good, then I'll thank you first!" He said, "It turns out that I have several shops, I want to ask for advice. Since the third brother has agreed, we will part later. Go over there?"

Li Yanqing answered in full mouth.

Sure enough, after three rounds of wine, everyone had a great time eating. When Brother Shou was about to return to the palace, the table parted. Everyone took him into the car and drove, and they all got on the car and left.

Cai Liang was drunk and asked Shen Rui to have a drink another day. However, given his current situation of commanding the warriors in the Leopard Room, he was probably more busy than Shen Rui, who was studying hard behind closed doors. When will I go if I don’t make an appointment?

Shen Rui knew this well, so he agreed with a smile.

Everyone waved goodbye, Zhang Hui sent Youxuan to invite Shen Rui, Li Yanqing got on his carriage and headed all the way to the west of the city.

"It's rare that Chen Er, you are willing to go out, so you were invited to see the carriage." Zhang Hui smiled, "Especially, Brother Li is here, so I'm just giving me more advice."

Shen Rui raised his eyebrows and said, "Your eight old men are sent by you, and his property has been assigned to you?"

Zhang Hui curled his lips and said, "I don't think of his industry, and I won't accept it even if I bring it to me. I'm not thinking that the carriages and horses are different, so I bought the stock." He looked at Shen Rui and said, "Are you?" Are you not going to invest?”

Shen Rui naturally wanted to invest. He didn't have the man to build a carriage or even a long-distance carriage. Since he pointed to Du Laoba's line, he naturally had to invest a stock, so that it would be convenient for him to use it. .

Therefore, he surrendered with a smile: "Stop, let's go, the Zhang Dong family is proud of their own, so they can be considered a villain."

Zhang Hui laughed and said, "That depends on whether Chen Er is willing to work hard today."

After a laugh and making a fuss, I immediately arrived at the place closest to the West Garden by Du Laoba.

After jumping out of the car, he looked up at the golden plaque "Eight Immortals Flying in the Sea" on the door, and Shen Rui almost laughed and left.

The legend of the Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea has existed in ancient times, and there were corresponding zajus during the Yuan Dynasty. However, "Journey to the East" has not yet been published at this time. The eight immortals' statements are still different from those in later generations, but there are generally stories.

Although Du Laoba’s previous restaurant called the “Eight Immortals House”, it certainly means boasting, it also contains the allusion of the Eight Immortals.

But in this carriage, it was written about the Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea, which was really hilarious.

Li Yanqing couldn't help but smile, but because he was afraid that Zhang would not be able to hold on to the meeting, he went back and smiled.

Zhang Hui was helpless and stabbed Shen Rui and said, "Old Du is a rough man. It would be bad for him to come up with this one. If you think the village is the only one."

"This name is very good, catchy." Shen Ruigang said a few words, but couldn't hold on to smile again, "Hey, what's wrong with him thinking about this name? It's really...oh, I won't change it anymore. , This name is really meaningful, and it will make people remember it firmly as soon as it is called out."

While talking, Du Laoba brought Wang Jianzi and several brothers to greet him, and came over to greet him one by one, and everyone entered the carriage together.

There is nothing to see in the carriage and horse carriage. What I want to ask Shen Rui and Li Yanqing to see is the modified carriage and the stations set up along the way.

Shen Rui once again took advantage of the "common sense of the past life" and there must be a newspaper stand next to the station. There is no newspaper selling now. You can still sell water, snacks, squids and purses.

"No need to shop, just set up a stall. The things are sold in small bags, and the snacks and sugar beans are sold in one piece, two pieces per piece. You have to figure out who is taking your car. Who is still taking the car? Most of them are women and children with children and children. , and he is willing to spend one or two kids to buy sweet mouths for his children. Who would buy a box of high-quality snacks that cost half a tael of silver?"

Du Laoba nodded when he heard this, laughing so hard that he couldn't see his eyes. He said straight: "Mr. Chen actually understands the matter in the market so well!"

Zhang Hui also shook his head and smiled: "No wonder everyone says you are good at feeding goods!"

Shen Rui smiled and said, "I only know some of the details and some minor things. My skills must be Ziche."

Li Yanqing said a few words of politeness and gave a serious guidance. The carriage has been changed to be larger, but the flexibility has been much worse.

"I have read a few military books and miscellaneous notes, which talk about the side van, and the shaft is more than 100 feet long..."

Before he finished speaking, Shen Rui and Zhang Hui were both surprised and said loudly: "Side van?!"

Shen Rui knew that the side van was because of Qi Jiguang's famous side van array.

But in fact, side vans were widely used in the army as early as the early Ming Dynasty. In the early Ming Dynasty, it was mostly used as a logistics vehicle. It was orthodox. During the Jingtai period, the famous general Guo Deng imitated the ancients to build side vans, hidden firearms, raised flags, and hooks. Contact, arrange it into a formation, can attack or defend, and has become a weapon on the battlefield.

However, with the restoration of Emperor Yingzong and Guo Deng was demoted, this tactic gradually declined. During the Chenghua period, the army also built side vans, but the results were not good.

Speaking of which, Guo Deng and Zhang Hui have some connections. Guo Deng has no son, and his nephew Guo Song is the son-in-law of Huichang Hou, and Zhang Hui's grandfather is the eldest son of Huichang Hou.

However, not to mention that Zhang Hui's family had hatred with Huichang Hou, even Guo Deng and Guo Song also had hatred.

It is said that when Guo Deng was demoted, his family was in Beijing, and Guo Song was detained for food and clothing. Guo Deng's concubine could hardly survive by sewing. After Guo Deng's re-elected title, he originally planned to abolish Guo Song's inheritance rights, but Huichang Hou and Guo Deng had a life-saving grace. Guo Deng let Guo Song go above the Huichang Hou's face.

Zhang Hui's eyes were shining. As a warrior who wanted to make achievements on the battlefield, meeting Li Yanqing who knew military weapons was like picking up a peerless treasure.

He grabbed Li Yanqing's arm and said straight: "It's really a pity to let my third brother do this!! If you have the chance in the future, I will ask you to go to the Beijing Wei Wushu to give me some advice and give me some advice to the Military and Military Bureau."

Shen Rui didn't expect that Li Yanqing knew so much, so he became very excited.

But he still had rationality. Seeing Zhang Hui's strength, Li Yanqing could not bear it. He hurriedly went up and helped him break free from Zhang Hui's "iron claws". He smiled and said, "Second brother is anxious, Zi Che wants it Mingsui. If you end up, you have to allow him to finish the exam first and then ask for advice.”

The two balls of fire in Zhang Hui's eyes immediately dimmed and he smiled and said, "It's me who was reckless, don't blame me for the third brother."

Li Yanqing smiled and said, "I don't understand everything about my second brother, but I like this since I was a child, so I just read two more books. It's really because I'm just taking the exam before. After the exam, my second brother will be sent to you. , I have no choice but to do it."

Zhang Hui was happy again, patted Li Yanqing and smiled, "Okay, okay, I won't say it's false. I've recorded what you said."

Li Yanqing responded with a smile, and then helped Du Laoba's carriage solve the defects in several carriages, only saying that he was just a talk on paper, and he still had to ask the carmaker if it was feasible.

After lunch, Du Laoba invited everyone to eat and drink, but he was rejected when he invited everyone to his Baxianju to have a drink. However, Du Laoba still asked someone to carry a few jars of Baxianju Monkey wine to Li Yanqing

, Shen Rui's car.

Zhang Hui sent Li Yanqing back to the mansion, and then drove him back to Renshoufang with Shen Rui. The above car was discussed with Shen Rui.

"The emperor gave Qingyang Bozhuang land, but he wanted to ask him to follow your letters as a test field." Zhang Hui said, "I think that for a moment, uncle Xia will send you a post."
