Chapter 1154

"It is said that there are many beautiful concubines in Lord Li's house. How many concubines have you married?" Shen Ning asked again.

"Well I have thirteen concubines. " Li Zhixing answers carefully.

He thought for a moment that finally came.

Next, he thought that Shen Ning must let himself summon the fifth concubine to testify that night, and was ready to order to call people.

Unexpectedly, Shen Ning took another sip of tea and turned the topic off.

"The emperor said that Lord Li had forged weapons before. What kind of weapons are you good at? Is it a long sword, a short sword, a spear, a crossbow, or some strange weapons? "

Li Zhixing was stunned again. He thought: "when I was young, I once learned some forging skills with a blacksmith. I can't speak of being proficient. What I usually forge are hoes and sickles, like weapons. I can only make simple knives and daggers."

"So Lord Li can't make bows and arrows, or crossbows?" Shen Ning asked again.

When Li Zhixing heard the word "crossbow", his eyebrows moved slightly, and his eyes involuntarily turned to the upper right corner. Then he shook his head and said, "no, but since he received the imperial favor and entrusted to the Ministry of war, he has studied the forging drawings of eighteen kinds of weapons. Although he can't make them, he can understand the principle of forging them."

Although Shen Ning's words were gentle and did not ask questions in a sharp voice, she could not help but feel nervous in her heart.

He answered more carefully.

Shen Ning nodded and looked around the living room. Seeing a picture of a tiger descending the mountain hanging in the middle hall, Shen stood up and went to the picture to enjoy it.

Li Zhixing also got up and said with a smile, "does father-in-law like this painting?"

Shen Ning said, "I'm a humble man. How can I know how to draw pictures? I just saw that the tiger was painted majestically, but it was quite like the king of beasts. This painting is so lifelike. I think it must have been made by some famous painter."

Li Zhixing's eyes were slightly pleased, and said with a smile: "my father-in-law praised it wrongly. This painting is not the work of a master, but a graffiti work created by a subordinate official at that time."

Although he said it was "graffiti", his proud expression could not be concealed.

Because Shen Ning's words boasted to his heart. Although he was the Secretary of the Ministry of war, he was a good painter. His most proud picture was the picture of a tiger descending the mountain.

"Ah, it turns out that Mr. Li is both literate and martial arts. He is disrespectful and disrespectful."

Shen Ning's face is full of adoration and bows to Li's line.

"I can't imagine that Lord Li knows how to forge weapons and how well he paints. If the emperor knows that Lord Li has such talent, he will be very happy. Maybe he will appreciate him more."

The smile on Li Zhixing's face became deeper. He felt a red seal from his sleeve and put it in Shen Ning's hand.

"I also ask my father-in-law to say a few words to the lower officials in front of the emperor."

Shen Ning quietly put the red seal in his sleeve and said with a smile, "what kind words? This is easy and tight. Lord Li must have something important to do. I'll leave first. The emperor is waiting for me to return to the palace. "

"I will send you two father-in-law."

Li's line respectfully sent Shen Ning and Xiao Ru out of the gate of the mansion. He saw their back disappear in the sight, then slowly turned back to the mansion.
