Chapter 79 The first meeting with Wang Jian
Author: March
Because they had to bring their recliners and wheelchairs, Wang Li and Zhao Si chose to set off by car.
Wang Li's title was Zuo Shu Zhang, and he could only ride in a two-horse carriage.
But taking Zhao Si with you is more than enough.
"Actually, driving is not difficult. Don't panic and don't give random orders." Wang Li was sitting in the main driving position and holding the reins to explain to Zhao Si, who was sitting in the co-piloting position.
"You can try to control an old horse like this after it has been tamed. If it is an untamed fierce horse, don't try it easily." Wang Li said and handed the reins to Zhao Si.
Horses that have been tamed for a long time are already familiar with various commands and do not require much effort. Even if they change direction, they only need to shake the reins slightly. It is extremely easy to control without any difficulty. It is very suitable for a novice like Zhao Si.
Not to mention the road infrastructure of the Qin Dynasty, the main roads around Xianyang were maintained on a daily basis, and even the bumps were minimal.
"Comfortable!"
In front of the carriage, Zhao Si held the reins. After familiarizing himself with the instructions, he saw that the road was wide, straight and flat, so Zhao Si tried to urge the horse to speed up.
The war horse ran more and more, and suddenly encountered a curve. Zhao Si was unable to give orders quickly and failed to predict in time. Fortunately, Wang Li hurriedly held the reins and urged the war horse to turn around. Otherwise, the two of them would rush out of the road and they would inevitably fall on their backs.
"At this time, you have to start early. If you are running too fast, the road is bumpy or you encounter a curve, you have to get up and drive." Wang Li gave instructions.
Zhao Si nodded, took the reins again, and started racing.
Driving in ancient times is indeed a pleasure. It is completely different from riding a horse. It gives people the pleasure of driving. If the frame is decorated with gold and silver, the two-wheel car can be put into a modern Lamborghini limited edition. .
Although Zhao Si is a novice, he is a wild and courageous runner. Therefore, he arrived at Wang Li's hometown in just an hour.
The main reason is that the speed of the horse-drawn chariot is not much faster. Even if an accident occurs, as long as you jump out of the chariot in time, there will not be much danger.
The fields and streets are neat and tidy, the roads are straight and spacious, a few people live nearby, and the channels of communication are endless.
"That place is your home..." Zhao Si pointed to the house that was so spacious that it was hard to describe and said.
"Yes!" Wang Li nodded.
This is Wang Li's hometown, which is considered a rural area. The serious palace is located in Xianyang.
Although it is a rural area, the Wang family is still very majestic. Looking at it, the house is indescribably big.
Other people’s calculations are based on square meters, while the Wang family’s calculations are based on acres.
"Isn't the racecourse passing by your family also owned?" Zhao Si suddenly remembered something and asked.
"To be precise, the fields, canals, racecourses, and mountains and forests you passed by are all pretty much the same." Wang Li thought for a moment and replied.
The fields awarded to Wang Jian by the First Emperor were relatively scattered, and the land awarded to Wang Li's hometown was not too much. Even so, almost half of the village was considered the property of the Wang family.
If the Wang family's properties were concentrated together, it would be almost as big as a county. Of course, it was impossible for the First Emperor to concentrate them all together for the Wang family, and they would still concentrate them in his hometown.
In fact, Wang Jian's land was divided into all the six kingdoms... scattered, Guanzhong occupied half, and the six kingdoms occupied half.
Wang Li's answer gave Zhao Si a new understanding of big dogs. This was just land. If all the properties were included, the Wang family had no idea how much wealth it would have.
"Hurry up and move the things!" Before Wang Li got off the car, several slaves came up to help him lead his horse.
The remaining servants moved the chairs and wheelchairs from behind. The remaining servants led the carriage to the other courtyard. Wang Li led Zhao Si inside.
"Where is the eldest father?" Wang Li asked.
"The master is enjoying the dance in front of the hall. I have sent someone to greet you. Your distinguished guest is here..." Before Wang Xing could finish his words, Wang Li waved his hand.
"No need! I'll go find my eldest uncle. Uncle, please ask someone to prepare some food and drinks. Let's have a banquet today!" After saying that, he dragged Zhao Si away, talking as he walked.
"It's rare for my eldest father to appreciate a dance. The dancers in my family's group dance are truly amazing. Brother, I will go with you!"
Zhao Si still recognized the quality of the Wang family's dancers. After all, he had experienced them and their professional skills were extraordinary and comparable to those of the maids.
He followed Wang Li half-heartedly to the front of the hall, where he saw flowers and plants dotted with flowers and plants, pavilions and flowing water in the courtyard, and the singing was soft and beautiful.
There is fox Suisui~
In Biqiliang~
My heart is worried ~
My son has no clothes~
The singing was accompanied by the gentle sound of unknown musical instruments, a singer in robes sang softly, and the graceful bodies of more than a dozen dancers swayed gently in the courtyard.
Green trees, colorful flowers, gentle breeze, setting sun, a dozen graceful and youthful figures, a little old man on the main seat, with white beard and hair, a contented smile on his face, and slightly narrowed eyes.
"Father! I'm back!"
Wang Li came in carelessly. The singer, dancer, and musician stiffened and wanted to salute, but Wang Li waved his hand.
"Keep playing music, keep dancing!"
Wang Jian's comfortable afternoon was interrupted by his sweet grandson's loud voice. He swayed and opened his eyes, only to see that his sweet grandson had already brought a tall young man in front of him.
"This is Zhao Si, I told my uncle about it!" Wang Li bowed and saluted with a smile.
"I have met Chehou!" Zhao Si also followed suit and bowed.
Wang Jian trembled and wanted to return the gift, but Zhao Si saw Wang Jian's powerless figure and hurriedly took two steps forward to support him: "I have a very good personal relationship with Wang Li, and we are considered brothers. Marquis Che only regards me as a junior, so there is no need to be like this.
"
"As I get older, my legs and feet are no longer working." Wang Jian patted his thigh, sat down, and looked at the crown on Zhao Si's head, with a little thought in his eyes.
If you didn’t change it before, am you now a doctor?
"Brother heard that I mentioned this matter, so he got something special for my eldest father!" Wang Li said quickly, and then urged the servants to bring the recliners and wheelchairs.
"This is a wheelchair that can be pushed by people and saves effort when walking around the house."
"This is a deck chair. You can lie on it and bask in the sun without worrying about the pressure on your legs and feet." Zhao Si said.
Wang Jian was helped onto the couch by Zhao Si and Wang Li. His legs were freed from the pressure of kneeling, and he was indeed much more relaxed. He was half-lying, listening to the soft singing and watching the graceful dancing, which was quite comfortable.
"I'm ready!" Wang Jian, half-lying down, took Zhao Si's hand and patted the back of it.
"I heard from Li'er before that you were promoted to the third level for making salt. Today, when you come here, you are a doctor. How can you be promoted to another level? But the crops found overseas have already been produced?" Wang Jian asked.
The things Zhao Si sent were not valuable, but they were thoughtful and met Wang Jian's needs. Coupled with the aura of the uncut jade and the relationship between Wang Li and Zhao Si, Wang Jian rarely paid attention to Zhao Si's title and gave some advice.
two.
"It hasn't been produced yet, but some small things have been produced. Fortunately, His Majesty valued the reward." Zhao Si shook his head.
"It's a saddle and horseshoes. I also brought a set of them. My eldest father will know them as soon as he sees them."
Wang Li interrupted at the side.
