Putting aside everything else, Xiao Han quite liked talking to people like Yang Kailue.
After all, he always faces Ren Qing who can't beat him with three sticks. Or if you say something wrong, Sun Simiao will immediately turn his back on you.
This kind of person knows how to compliment and speaks nicely, so it’s really nice to listen to him once in a while!
It's no wonder that there are so many greedy ministers in front of the emperor. After all, only an emperor like Xiao Lizi can endure a smelly and tough guy like Wei Zheng. The rest are probably similar to ordinary people like Xiao Han!
"There's no need to sit here. I'm just going to have fun today. I see the scenery here at your house is nice, so just take a look."
What he said was nice, Xiao Han gave Yang Kai a rare smile, and his excited face suddenly became more and more rosy.
"Look, watch whatever you want! As long as you like it, watch it however you want!"
The excited Yang Kai waved his hand slightly, as if otherwise it was not enough to express his politeness! As for inviting Xiao Han as a guest, he had selective amnesia and did not dare to mention it again.
After all, in the final analysis, the identities of the two are quite different! If someone agrees to be a guest, it is to give you face! If you don't agree and you keep begging, that's called being ignorant.
Seeing that Yang Kai was so knowledgeable and knowledgeable, Xiao Han immediately laughed! However, Xue Pan on the side did not like the fat-headed and big-eared Yang Kailue. He was too lazy to look at him and just looked at the blue lake in front of him.
"Xiao Han, look at the huge lake here, why is there not even a boat or raft?"
After looking at the scenery for a while, Xue Pan suddenly discovered a strange thing. In Chang'an, although there are only a few lakes in total, there are always a few small boats floating in the water. With such a large water surface here, why can't you even see a small bamboo raft on the shore?
Xiao Han listened to Xue Pan asking himself and looked into the lake. He really didn't see the boat, so he could only say to her: "I don't know this, but the real owner is here, can't I just ask him? "
"Uh, um..." Yang Kai suddenly felt a little embarrassed when he saw both of them looking at him.
Because this lake is close to his ancestral temple, it is also part of Feng Shui! On weekdays, even fish and shrimps are not allowed to be caught. How can people get boats and wander around on it? Wouldn’t that ruin feng shui?
But even though this was the truth, he didn't dare to tell the truth!
After all, I knew last time that this was a Lord who had an excessive sense of justice and was nosy! It wouldn't be fun if he felt that he was too domineering.
Seeing Yang Kai hesitate a little, Xiao Han said with a smile: "What? Is it possible that there is no shipbuilder? Isn't it right? Among the things you sent last time, there was a very exquisite boat model. I tried it. It floats very steadily in the water, which can be said to be ingenious!"
After Xiao Han said these words, Yang Kailuo immediately wiped the sweat on his forehead and said to Xiao Han awkwardly: "I dare not hide it from Mr. Hou, there are shipbuilders! But this lake has not been used for boats since our ancestors, so it has never been here. Let go of the boat! Of course, if you want to go boating, Lord Marquis, I will let you build a boat! It won’t take many days to build an exquisite boat for you!"
"Painting a boat? Can someone like you do that?"
Upon hearing the word "Huafang", Xiao Han and Xue Pan immediately looked at each other, and both looked at Yang Kailue strangely.
It’s not that the two of them are so strange, it’s just that they have been at odds since ancient times! There are probably a lot of people here who can make bamboo rafts and small boats, but they have never seen a big boat or a sailing boat! After all, without demand, there would be no market for it!
"It can be done!"
Yang Kai briefly saw that Xiao Han was interested in this and did not pursue the matter of the lake being incapable of boating. He couldn't help but feel relieved and hurriedly replied: "To tell you the truth, there is an expert in making boats in our family! And I heard from him that he I even made a dragon boat for the Sui Emperor!"
"Build a dragon boat for Yang Guang?"
Xiao Han smashed his mouth and looked at Yang Kailue with some disbelief: "I said, you are a bit boastful! The person who can make the dragon boat for that man was definitely a master craftsman in the world! You are the only one. How can this little rich man keep someone in his family?"
Xiao Han obviously didn't believe it, and immediately made Yang Kai blush slightly and his neck was thick!
However, he did not dare to cry out, so he could only keep swearing: "Master Hou is unjust! Give me a few courages and I dare not lie to you! Oh, by the way, I swear to God! If I lie to you, I will be struck by five thunderbolts immediately." Break me!"
Xiao Han saw that Yang Kai's oath didn't look like he was lying, and then he continued to ask half-heartedly: "Oh? Then tell me, why is this craftsman who can build dragon boats at your place? Dragon boats are never built here. Right!"
Yang Kai blushed slightly and waved his hands: "That's not true. It's a coincidence! This craftsman was originally from Jiangdu. Later, Yu Wenhua and Regicide rebelled, and Jiangdu was in chaos! He took the opportunity to run out! He didn't even dare to say that he was from home. I was stunned, and wanted to go to Luoyang to find his apprentice for a while! But I didn’t expect that he fell ill as soon as he arrived in Hanzhong! Fortunately, I found him, and I saved his life and came back! It’s not easy for him to survive my illness After he was raised, he heard that wars were going on everywhere, even in Luoyang! He had no choice but to live here for almost a year. "
"Oh?" After listening to what Yang Kai said, Xiao Han raised his eyebrows and asked: "You said you saved him? Just saving someone on the road for no reason? Is this like what you did?"
Seeing that Xiao Han didn't believe it, Yang Kailue, who was still trying to pretend to be a good person, immediately became discouraged and said weakly: "Ahem... The main reason is that he carries a lot of money with him!"
"Oh, you were paid to do things for others!" After hearing this reason, Xiao Han finally understood!
This is right! There are so many poor people in the world. If everyone saves them, Yang Kailue will no longer be a black-hearted landlord, but a living Bodhisattva who saves the suffering!
Just when Xiao Han gradually believed what Yang Kailuo said in his heart, Xue Pan, who had been listening quietly on the side, suddenly said: "Hey! Is the craftsman you mentioned coming here alone?"
Yang Kai was stunned for a moment, nodded and replied: "Yes, I was alone when I rescued him!"
Hearing the answer, Xue Pan did not pause, but continued to ask: "Then how much money did he bring? It must be no less! Without it, people like you wouldn't bother to save him!"
"Well……"
Yang Kai heard this and immediately cursed in his heart! What does it mean to be a person like me? What's wrong with me? Am I so unlike a good person?
But he cursed in his heart, and even if he was killed, he would not dare to say these words! And he had to say in a more respectful tone: "As for Miss, I don't have much money, but I do have a lot of valuable things! Some of them look like..."
"Just what?"
Yang Kai hesitated for a moment, then lowered his voice and said to Xiao Han: "I told you, Lord Marquis, don't say anything out loud! Because those things look like they belong to the palace."
"The things in the palace?" Xiao Han felt strange, and at the same time a little curious, he asked, "Where are the things?"
Facing the curious Xiao Han, Yang Kailue could only cry sadly: "Master Hou, those things are tributes! Although Sui has disappeared, they are not for people like me to use! If they are found out, I will be finished. ! So I melted the gold and silver, and the rest was taken out and sold secretly!"
