Chapter 23 Xu Family Prefect
Shen Han also read the "Hengyang Blacksmithing Training Manual" several times.
Last time, according to the method described in this training manual, I built an inner armor for myself.
Although the finished product is pretty bad, but after extracting the negative words, it can still be worn.
Thinking about this, Shen Han went to pick up some waste products.
Throw it into the smelting, mix some animal skins, and still cast an inner armor.
The craftsmanship this time is much better than before.
But compared to the inner armor sold outside, it is still much worse.
Shen Han looked intently, [Rough Inner Armor] A line of small gray characters floated on the inner armor.
I thought the craftsmanship had improved a bit, but unexpectedly, the quality is still poor
Extract the [bad] entry, and then find a [high-quality] to apply it.
The inner armor in his hand has taken on a new look, and it looks quite delicate.
After preparing this gift, Shen Han lay down on the bed.
Visualizing [Heavenly Sword Power] in his mind, he began to rest and recuperate.
Mao, when the **** crowed three times outside the courtyard, Shen Han got up immediately.
To be a guest at the prefect Xu's house today, I should make myself tidy.
After breakfast at home, Shen Han chose to leave at this time.
The mansion of the prefect of Xu is still some distance away from the Shen family.
Shen Han hugged the inner armor he made, and walked quickly.
Going through a lot of turmoil in the government office that day, Shen Han could feel that the prefect Xu had good intentions for him.
In the past few days, I have also thought about the reason in my mind.
Shen Han also had an answer in his heart.
If it is as I guessed, then I will try my best to make friends with Xu Zhifu in order to ask for asylum.
Prefect Xu's mansion is much smaller than that of the Shen family.
After all, the Shen family has the position of marquis, and its three sons also hold positions in the army.
The mansion is larger, which is normal.
"Master Shen Han, please come here, the master has been waiting for you in the garden of Fuchu~"
Seeing himself coming, the servant of the prefect Xu's house warmly invited him to go.
Compared to the servants of the Shen family, he respects himself much more.
Turned inward, walked through a corridor, and arrived at the garden in the mansion.
In the center of the garden is a shallow pond with clear water.
It seems that some aquatic plants have been planted artificially, and some small fish have been raised.
The scene in the courtyard seems to be alive.
"How, compared to the scenery of your Shen family's mansion, I'm afraid it's even worse?"
Seeing Shen Han attending the appointment, Zhifu Xu invited him to sit down in the courtyard with a smile on his face.
"The garden in Shen's residence is indeed larger, and the decoration layout is also more luxurious.
It's just that the garden, compared to your house, Mr. Zhifu, lacks a sense of vitality and warmth. "
There was something in Shen Han's words, and Xu Zhifu also understood the meaning.
Still with a smile on his face, he asked the servant to bring freshly brewed tea.
The two sat by the shallow pond, and Zhifu Xu asked the fish while looking at the fish in the pond.
"Do you know why the prefect invited you here today?"
Prefect Xu always had a smile on his face, it seemed that he was very close.
"Speak freely, the prefect wants to hear your opinion."
"The Holy Majesty bestowed a marriage, but he didn't want the two families to get married.
Otherwise, I wouldn’t let my unfavored grandson marry that Su family’s genius. "
When Shen Han said this, the smile on Xu Zhifu's face became even stronger.
"As expected, you young man has seen clearly for a long time, so let's continue."
"The Shen and Su families don't want my unfavored grandson to marry the Su family's Tianjiao, but if they go to ask the Holy One to rescind the engagement, the two families will have to pay some price.
So, the two families naturally wanted to come up with some irresistible conditions, so that the royal family didn't want to, so they had no choice but to take back the marriage gift.
The easiest way is for me, the despised disciple, to get physically disabled.
The Su family is a proud man, so he will never marry a disabled person. "
Shen Han analyzed every word, saying it was his own business, but his tone was indifferent.
"As for the Holy Majesty, I naturally hope that the Shen and Su families will beg the royal family to annul the engagement, so as to obtain something beneficial to the royal family.
Instead of sacrificing a family member, cancel this engagement. "
When Shen Han reached this point in his analysis, the prefect Xu signaled him to stop talking.
"Three years ago, the Holy Majesty also used this trick against the Prime Minister's Mansion. The two families found the Holy Majesty honestly and paid some price in exchange for the nullification of the marriage contract.
The Holy Majesty probably did not expect that the Shen family would be so ruthless that they would rather sacrifice the younger generation of the family than pay a price. "
Xu Zhifu looked at Shen Han, with a trace of sympathy in his eyes.
It can be seen that Shen Han's eyes are full of determination, and this sympathy has turned into appreciation.
"The fact that you came to my house as a guest today, this house will spread the word, and in the future, the Shen family's courtyard should not dare to use those dirty methods to deal with you.
Especially if the elders in the family dare to bully you obviously, you can tell the government at any time.
If the top is disrespectful, but the bottom is not sympathetic, this government will have a reason to protect you. "
Shen Han saluted the prefect Xu.
Although he knew that Prefect Xu was protecting him, it was because he was on the side of the Holy One.
But no matter what, Prefect Xu is protecting himself, and the motive is not important.
As he said that, Shen Han quickly took out the gift he made.
A rather delicate inner armor display.
"you made it yourself?"
"The younger generation is a little struggling in life, this inner armor is also made of some old materials, please don't dislike it, magistrate."
Prefect Xu picked up the inner armor and looked around.
"Your skill is much better than that of my son.
My son forges iron in the courtyard every day, does not read many books all day long, and does not practice martial arts
The key is that the craftsmanship has not improved much.”
Mentioning his son, Xu Zhifu suddenly entered the status of a loving father.
"The younger generation also heard that Mr. Xu prefers casting skills. I wonder if we can talk about it today?"
"My son is withdrawn, and we can't speak a few words with us. Forget it, let's go and have a look."
Walk to the west side of the mansion garden, walk a few more steps, and you can hear the sound of clanging.
Jumping over a door, you can see some casting tools scattered everywhere in the wide courtyard.
Mr. Xu looked up at the two of them, and with the hammer in his hand, he began to hammer again.
Shen Han didn't speak either, picked up a piece of scrap iron from the side, picked up a hammer, and started beating.
Jingling, Mr. Xu couldn't help but cast his eyes and looked at it, and then began to talk and communicate.
It is not too simple for men to make friendships, at least it is much easier than women.
For example, at this moment, Shen Han and Mr. Xu in front of him don't know each other's names, so they are already chatting with interest.
Shen Han has already familiarized himself with the "Hengyang Blacksmithing Training Manual", and it is completely enough to chat with Mr. Xu about casting skills.
On the contrary, it was Mr. Xu, whose theoretical knowledge was ridiculously poor.
I like casting, so I started blacksmithing, and I didn't think about reading some classics to learn.
