Chapter 23
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 of this, Shen Han went to pick up some waste products.

Throw it into the smelting, mix some animal skins, and cast an inner armor.

This time, the craftsmanship is much better than before.

But compared to the inner armor sold outside, it is still much worse.

Shen Han stared intently, and saw [Rough Inner Armor] a line of small gray characters floated on the inner armor.

I thought the workmanship had improved a bit, but unexpectedly, the quality is still poor
Extract the [poor] 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 getting this gift ready, Shen Han lay down on the bed.

Visualizing [Heavenly Sword Power] in his mind, he began to rest and refresh himself.

At Maoshi, the cock crowed three times outside the courtyard, and Shen Han got up immediately.

Today, as a guest at the prefect Xu's mansion, I should make myself tidy.

After breakfast at home, Shen Han chose to leave at this time.

The mansion of Xu Zhifu is still some distance away from the Shen family.

Shen Han hugged the inner armor he made, and walked quickly.

After going through some 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 was as he had guessed, then he would try his best to befriend Xu Zhifu in order to seek asylum.

The mansion of Xu Zhifu is much smaller than that of the Shen family.

After all, the Shen family has the position of marquis, and the three sons under him also hold positions in the army.

The mansion is bigger, which is normal.

"Master Shen Han, this way please, the master has been waiting for you in the garden of the mansion~"

Seeing him coming, the servant of the prefect Xu's family warmly invited him to go.

Compared with the servants of the Shen family, he has to respect himself a lot.

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 artificially planted and some small fish have been raised.

The scene in the courtyard seemed to be somewhat alive.

"Why, 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 with your house, Mr. Zhifu, lacks 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 the freshly brewed tea.

The two sat by the shallow pond, Xu Zhifu looked at the fish in the pond, and asked.

"Do you know why the prefect invited you here today?"

There was a smile on Xu Zhifu's face all the time, it seemed that he was very close.

"Speak freely, the prefect wants to hear your opinion."

Shen Han hesitated for a moment, thought for a while, and revealed some guesses in his heart.

"The Holy Majesty gave the marriage, thinking about it, he didn't want the two families to get married.

Otherwise, I, my unfavored grandson, would not be allowed to marry that Su family's genius. "

When Shen Han said this, the smile on Xu Zhifu's face became even stronger.

"Sure enough, you young man has seen clearly for a long time, so let's continue."

"The Shen and Su families do not want my unfavored grandson to marry the Su family's Tianjiao, but if they go to ask the emperor to cancel this engagement, both families will have to pay a price.

In this way, the two families naturally wanted to come up with some irresistible conditions to make the royal family unwilling, so they had no choice but to take back the marriage gift.

The simplest, of course, is that I, the despised child, get physically disabled.

The majestic Su family's pride would 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, this engagement will be rescinded. "

When Shen Han's analysis came to this point, Xu Zhifu 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 from now on, 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, they can tell the government at any time.

If you are disrespectful at the top and merciless at the bottom, this government will have 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 in any case, prefect Xu is protecting himself, as for the motive, it doesn't matter.

Said, Shen Han quickly took out the gift he made.

A rather delicate display of inner armor.

"you made it yourself?"

"The younger generation is a little short on life, and this inner armor is also made of some old materials. Please don't dislike it, Mr. Zhifu."

Xu Zhifu picked up the inner armor and looked around.

"Your skills are much better than that of my son.

My son forges iron in the side courtyard every day, does not read many books all day long, and does not practice martial arts.
The key is that the craftsmanship hasn’t improved much yet.”

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 exchange a word or two today?"

"My son is withdrawn, and we can't speak a few words with us. Forget it, let's go and have a look."

Go to the west side of the mansion garden, walk a few more steps, and you can hear the sound of clanging.

After 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 also didn't speak, picked up a piece of scrap iron from the side, picked up a hammer, and started beating.

Clinking, Mr. Xu couldn't help but cast his eyes and looked at it, and then began to talk and communicate.

It is not too easy 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 didn't know each other's names, so they were already chatting with interest.

Shen Han had already read the "Hengyang Blacksmithing Training Manual" by heart, and it was 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 to forge iron, and I didn't think about reading some classics to learn.
