"I'm going to Duke Niu's house, and I expect you to watch over me here. If you're not afraid of your father punishing you when you go home, just drink up." Lin Xuan said speechlessly.
The Li De Award was fine, but Li Jing rarely spanked his children when educating them, and usually just scolded them a few times.
Yu Chigong and Cheng Yaojin were different. In their words, talents could not be achieved without beating. If they knew that their greed for alcohol had delayed their brewing work, they would inevitably be beaten when they returned home.
Cheng Chumo and Yuchi Baolin shuddered and said, "Since you have something to do, we won't drink. Leave it to me. Don't worry."
You won't listen if you tell me well, but you will listen if you scare me.
Lin Xuan explained the matter of the wine to them carefully, asked Cheng Chumo for someone, and left with the distilled wine.
Arriving at the yard where the craftsmen were staying next door, Lin Xuan found the carpenter from yesterday and asked, "Have you finished what you were asked to make?"
The old man smiled and said: "Sir, it's ready. I'll take you to see it."
The old man led Lin Xuan into the house and saw a chair with two wheels placed aside in the messy room.
"Due to time constraints, it's a bit rough. I don't know if Master is satisfied with it." The old man said with some anxiety.
Lin Xuan did not answer the old man's words, but stepped forward and took a closer look.
I have to say that the carpenters of this era were really good at their craftsmanship, which was completely in line with Lin Xuan’s ideas.
As for the roughness mentioned by the old man, he means that there are no patterns carved on it, so it doesn't look very beautiful.
But it doesn't matter, as long as it is practical, use it first. With the status of the Niu family, you can get some rare wood, and then you can make a new one.
"Not bad, well done. My craftsmanship is really good." Lin Xuan nodded and praised.
When the old man saw that his craftsmanship was recognized, his face turned red and he smiled happily.
Lin Xuan took the wine and asked Cheng Gang to push up the wheelchair.
Cheng Gang was Cheng Chumo's follower, and Lin Xuan was coming to guide him. He had never been to Niu Jinda's house and didn't know the way.
Niu Jinda's home was not far away, and soon Lin Xuan, led by Cheng Gang, arrived at the door of Niu Jinda's home.
Perhaps because the Niu family has a small number of people, the house looks very simple. The red flag on the gate has faded. Except that it is larger, it is impossible to tell that this is the home of a county official.
Bang bang bang!
Lin Xuan went up and knocked on the door. Not long after, the door opened. The Niu family's concierge stuck his head out, glanced at Lin Xuan, and asked, "What's the matter with this young master?"
"I'm Lin Xuan. I have something to see the Duke, and I would like to report it to you." Lin Xuan said with a bow.
The concierge saw that Lin Xuan was polite and said, "Wait a moment."
Crunch!
Not long after, the door opened again, and the concierge came out with a middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man was the butler of the Niu family. He bowed to Lin Xuan and said with a smile: "This must be Mr. Lin. The master asked me to take you in."
With Niu Jinda's identity, it was definitely impossible to come to greet Lin Xuan in person, so sending the housekeeper at home was considered a very serious matter.
Lin Xuan followed the Niu family's housekeeper to the front hall, where Niu Jinda was sitting on the soft couch, waiting for Lin Xuan.
Seeing Lin Xuan come in, Niu Jinda said with a smile: "Here comes Lin Xuan, sit down quickly."
"I've met Uncle Niu." Lin Xuan bowed respectfully before sitting down.
"You kid, why are you free to come to my house today?" Niu Jinda asked with a smile.
Lin Xuan chuckled and said, "Uncle Niu, isn't this the result of wine? I'll send you some specially."
"It's fair to say that you are interested, but where is the wine?" Niu Jinda nodded and said.
"Uncle Niu, don't worry, I brought something here this time. I think Uncle Niu will like it more than wine." Lin Xuan said with a smile.
"Did you bring other things?" Niu Jinda's face turned cold.
He had no idea when Lin Xuan brought wine, but he was a little unhappy when he brought other things.
He thought Lin Xuan was here to give him a gift, and he hated such people the most.
Lin Xuan didn't know why Niu Jinda's expression suddenly changed, so he didn't think much and said, "Yes, the things are outside. Should I ask someone to bring them in now?"
"Bring it in, it doesn't hurt to take a look!" Niu Jinda said calmly.
Although he wouldn't accept it, he wanted to see what gift Lin Xuan was going to give him.
Lin Xuan came outside the hall and asked Cheng Gang to push the wheelchair in.
"Is this what you brought?" Niu Jinda looked surprised when he saw the wheelchair.
He originally thought that Lin Xuan would send something valuable, but he didn't expect that it would be such a strange thing.
Although I didn’t know what the wheelchair was used for, I could tell at a glance that it was made of wood and it wasn’t worth much.
Niu Jinda knew that he had misunderstood Lin Xuan, and his expression softened.
"This thing is called a wheelchair. Last time I heard Uncle Niu say that Brother Dabao had trouble with his legs and feet, so I specially asked someone to make it." Lin Xuan introduced.
"Is this for Dabao?" Niu Jinda asked.
Lin Xuan nodded and said: "The wheelchair has two wheels. If Brother Dabao wants to go out, he can sit on it and just have someone push it."
"Is this thing really so magical?" Niu Jinda asked excitedly.
"There's nothing magical about this thing. It's just similar to a carriage, with some changes made to the bench and two wheels added." Lin Xuan explained.
"Okay, okay, Lin Xuan, Uncle Niu, thank you very much." Niu Jinda said with a grateful face.
Lin Xuan understood the benefits of a wheelchair as soon as he said it, and his son really needed a wheelchair.
"Uncle Niu, you're welcome. As long as it's useful," Lin Xuan said.
"It's more than useful. Come on, I'll take you to see Dabao." Niu Jinda said happily.
Niu Jinda asked someone to push the wheelchair and took Lin Xuan straight to the backyard.
"Dabao, dad brought you a good thing."
As soon as he entered Niu Dabao's yard, Niu Jinda shouted loudly, which showed how excited he was.
"Master, what are you yelling for?" A middle-aged woman with a haggard face came out.
"This is my wife, you can just call me aunt." Niu Jinda introduced Lin Xuan.
Lin Xuan quickly bowed and said, "My nephew has met my aunt."
Niu Jinda's wife, whose surname was Liu, was married to him in his early years when he was still young. She was of average appearance, but she and Niu Jinda were very affectionate.
She didn't know Lin Xuan's identity. When she saw Lin Xuan salute, she nodded, squeezed out a smile on her pale face, and said, "Why are you so polite?"
"Madam, has Dabao eaten?" Niu Jinda asked.
Speaking of her son, Mrs. Liu sighed and said, "I haven't eaten yet. I said I have no appetite for eating meat every day."
"It's okay. I brought him a good thing this time. I think his appetite will be better." Niu Jinda comforted him with a smile.
"Hopefully!" Ms. Liu didn't hold out much hope.
"Come on, let's go in first." Niu Jinda greeted and walked in.
