When he returned to Beijing, it was already dark, and Lin Ping'an took Li Zicheng to his villa.
There was nothing to say all night, and early the next morning, Li Zicheng went to the Yamen on his own. Lin Ping'an made someone make a pot of tea, and sat in the study to think carefully about the hot air balloon.
“Judging from the performance of the entire test flight, it is feasible to produce a qualified hot air balloon in this era.
As for encountering air currents in the air or other extremely bad weather that causes the hot air balloon to overturn, these are extremely accidental events. If it does happen, you will have to consider yourself unlucky. "
He was thinking alone in his mind, and the scene of the hot air balloon landing appeared in his mind again, and he couldn't help but murmured in his mouth:
"It seems that closing the air inlet when landing is still a knowledge. This must be practiced many times to master the rules. Only when the hot air balloon can land smoothly on the ground can it be considered a real success, otherwise the risk will be real. Too big."
After solving this problem, Lin Pingan felt relaxed. He recalled the scene of the two on the hot air balloon in his mind, and he suddenly laughed and said:
"It seems that I really have to thank this hot air balloon, otherwise, the girl will never call me husband, and she will never let me call her wife so soon."
In fact, Lin Pingan is very satisfied with Yan Xiaoxiao. The girl is not only beautiful, but also capable. Behind her are Hua Fangfang and the entire night watchman. Although she is a bit older than Lin Pingan, this is not a problem at all. .
"In that case, it's better to get married as soon as possible."
Lin Ping'an thought silently in his heart that he was a single man in his previous life. Now that he has such a beautiful girl in this life, he is of course impatient.
At noon, Li Zicheng came back. He handed over the documents in his hand. The only thing left was to go to the market to buy a horse and then return to Shaanxi.
But he obviously didn't want to leave so soon. After finally coming to the capital, he had to walk around anyway.
Besides, now that he has a friend like Lin Ping'an, he doesn't have to worry about food, drink or housing. He can't wait to stay in the capital forever.
"I'll take you around the capital in the afternoon."
Lin Ping'an said to Li Zicheng, to be honest, he hadn't really gone shopping in Beijing for so long.
In the afternoon, two people appeared on the streets of Beijing. Li Zicheng looked around, obviously looking like he had never seen the world.
Lin Ping'an also looked here and there. Although he felt it was new, he wanted to connect the Beijing city of this era with the Beijing city he remembered in his previous life.
In his previous life, he had been to Beijing twice, but it was a modern city, but what he saw now was a building with a heavy sense of history.
The two of them walked and chatted, and Lin Ping'an gradually understood that Li Zicheng's situation was similar to what was recorded in history books. He came to Beijing this time because he was a newcomer in the station, so he ended up with such a hard job. thing.
After walking all afternoon, the two of them visited almost all of Beijing. Seeing the sun setting, they felt a little hungry, so they found a restaurant on the roadside and sat down.
The restaurant is small, so the owner set up a shed outside the restaurant with tables and stools inside.
Lin Ping'an and Li Zicheng sat under the shed, ordered some dishes at random, and looked around.
This place is obviously not the most prosperous place in Beijing, and is even a little out of the way. Next to the restaurant is a medicine shop. An eleven or twelve-year-old girl is standing in front of the medicine stall, taking medicine for a customer.
Out of professional habits, Lin Ping'an couldn't help but take a few more glances, and saw that the little girl was extremely skilled in selecting the herbs on the medicine list from various herbs. She was obviously extremely familiar with various herbs.
Seeing this, Lin Ping'an couldn't help but look at the little girl carefully again.
I saw this little girl with an oval face, pink and phoenix eyes, two thin and long eyebrows, a straight nose, and a small cherry mouth like a touch of crimson. It was obvious that she was a beauty.
Li Zicheng followed Lin Ping'an's eyes and couldn't help but admire:
"That little girl is so pretty!"
Not long after, several side dishes and a bottle of wine were placed on the table. Seeing these things, Li Zicheng's eyes suddenly lit up and he began to enjoy them without any ceremony.
Lin Ping'an didn't have much appetite, because he discovered something very interesting.
Next to the little girl's medicine stall, I saw a middle-aged man sitting in front of the table diagnosing her pulse. He was obviously a doctor. However, there was a flag on his table with the four words " fortune telling" written on it. Big letters.
Looking at these four big characters, Lin Ping'an almost burst out laughing, wondering what the hell is this? He can also treat people and tell their fortunes. This guy is really talented! "
However, he can understand this. Since he is just making a living, the more skills he has, the better.
The little girl's face was flushed, and she looked extremely serious. Every time she handed the medicine to the customer, she smiled sweetly and was extremely polite.
Lin Ping'an immediately felt a little fond of this little girl.
There was a sound of horse hooves in the distance, and a young master was seen riding a tall horse, followed by several slaves, and stopped directly in front of the medicine shop.
The young man got off his horse, came to the medicine stall, and shouted to the middle-aged man:
"Dr. Zhou, there's something wrong with your medicine!"
The middle-aged man raised his head and looked at the young master in front of him. His expression suddenly changed. He asked calmly:
"Master Liu, what do you mean by this?"
The young man smiled, pointed at his belly and said:
"I prescribed a medicine to you a few days ago. After drinking it, I suffered from vomiting and diarrhea. Tell me, how should I resolve this matter?"
Hearing these words, the middle-aged man suddenly showed a bitter look on his face, bent down to salute the young master, and said:
"Young master, don't be joking. The medicine we gave you the other day was just a medicine for promoting qi and blood. How could it cause vomiting and diarrhea?"
After hearing this, several servants beside the young master immediately surrounded the medicine stall, pointed at the middle-aged man and shouted:
"It's okay if you say it's okay. Could it be that my young master will wrongly accuse you for no reason?"
Seeing the menacing looks of the people in front of him, the middle-aged man suddenly understood something in his heart. He said in a low voice:
"Mr. Liu, I just set up a medicine stall to make ends meet. Please be noble and let my father and daughter go!"
Mr. Liu nodded and sneered:
"Dr. Zhou, what are you talking about? When have I felt sorry for you? It's just that you have vomiting and diarrhea after taking this medicine. If you don't have an explanation, I'm afraid it won't be justified!"
The middle-aged man was silent for a long time and asked weakly:
"Then what will it take to satisfy you?"
"No need to do anything, just pay my young man two hundred taels of silver."
A slave shouted loudly.
Hearing this number, the middle-aged man almost sat down on the ground and said with a sad face:
"Mr. Liu, don't be joking. How can a villain get two hundred taels of silver?"
"Who's kidding you?"
Mr. Liu slapped the table and shouted:
"Two hundred taels, even one tael less will not work!"
The middle-aged man had an earth-colored face and shouted:
"Mr. Liu, you are so generous. Even if you pay for my medicine shop, it is not worth two hundred taels of silver."
"That's none of my business."
Mr. Liu spread his hands, but looked at the little girl beside him.
A slave suddenly understood and said to the middle-aged man:
"Let's do this. If you can't get the money, you can give your daughter to my young master as a concubine. If this is the case, not only will you not have to give the two hundred taels of silver, but my young master can also give you another two hundred taels of silver. "
When the middle-aged man heard this, he immediately panicked and hugged the little girl in his arms, and was too frightened to say a word.
Lin Ping'an looked on coldly, and immediately understood what was going on, and thought to himself:
"This is the capital of the Ming Dynasty, and this kind of thing can happen. It seems that the Ming Dynasty is really seriously ill."
So he waved to the restaurant owner and asked softly:
"Who is Mr. Liu?"
The restaurant owner was obviously a little afraid of those people. After hesitating for a long time, he whispered:
"That Mr. Liu's father is one of ten children who are nine thousand years old. He usually bullies men and dominates women. No one dares to mess with him. I advise Mr. Liu to stay out of trouble, otherwise he will be in trouble if he gets angry!"
"Wei Zhongxian's ten children?"
Lin Pingan looked at Mr. Liu and sneered:
"Wei Zhongxian, Wei Zhongxian, can't you adopt a decent godson?"
When Lin Ping'an called Wei Zhongxian by his first name, the restaurant owner was so frightened that he ran away. Li Zicheng slammed the table and shouted angrily:
"Does it mean that our Ming Dynasty has no royal laws?"
