Chapter 762: Jiangxia Official Hat Chair?!
"Sure enough, it's an ugly brother!" After reading the letter in Gan Ning's hand, Ma Chao finally figured out why Bajun Ganning had traveled thousands of miles to Chang'an.
Ma Chao did not send Brother Ugly to accompany him to conquer Liangzhou, because he felt that a Huang Zhong and a Wenpin were no less valuable than Brother Ugly going to the battlefield in person. It's just that he didn't expect that the ugly brother had not only persuaded Huang Zhong, but also sent a Gan Ning. Ma Chao really made a lot of money in this deal! From this point of view, the first 'scout' and 'agent' in the Han Dynasty is none other than the ugly brother.
It's just that Wen Ping has too many family members, and the family in-laws are also in Jingzhou. For the ugly brother to reveal his identity, the proposal to invite Wen to join the Ma family is still hesitating. However, Ma Chao believes that with the unique wild charm of the ugly brother, Wen Ping will be obediently led to Chang'an by the ugly brother sooner or later, and it is still the kind of migration of the whole clan that is unknown and unaware.
"General, do you mean that from now on, I will be the general of the Ma family?" Until this time, Gan Ning was still in a dream, and was suddenly hit by a huge surprise, he didn't know how to express his excitement and ecstasy for a while, but he just said again and again: "Sinner, thank you........"
"Huh?" Ma Chao saw that Gan Ning called himself a 'sinner' again, and he had to kneel down, so he couldn't help but pick it up in his nasal voice and teased Gan Ning.
And Gan Ning also came to his senses when he saw this, and his knees, which had already bent in mid-air, suddenly straightened up. The whole majestic body, with Gan Ning's awe-inspiring momentum, was as stiff and upright as a pine. Up and down his body, he immediately exuded the appearance of the bold and wise, righteous and light wealth fighter in history!
"Today, the lord advises Ning to kneel, and he Ning should behead the enemy and sacrifice his head to the lord!" Gan Ning clasped his fists and saluted, and said without regrets. This time, he did it as a courtier.
It's just that Ma Chao frowned slightly when he heard Gan Ning say that he would behead the enemy's general: At this time, Gan Ning has not experienced too much suppression and exclusion, and it is the time when the spirit is blazing. The history books say that Gan Ning is a light man who kills people and has a rough temperament, which is indeed not nonsense.
However, Gan Ning's thirst for killing in the later period was precisely because he was indignant in the first half of his life, which made Sun Quan violent and untamable. And in front of him, Gan Ning admires himself very much. In the future, as long as you put more restraints on yourself, presumably Ma Jiaganning, the achievement will never be just a 'fighting general'!
"The Ma family has an establishment of 3,645 people, and now I have promised that you can command a battalion of Jinfan Army. That is not enough people, you can naturally choose from the Liangzhou surrendered troops. If I can recruit people on my own, I will not stop them. Ma Chao walked up to Gan Ning, patted Gan Ning on the shoulder and continued: "At present, the world I can give you can only be so big. If the Jinfan Army wants to break into the prestige of the Ma family, such as a trapped camp and an ironclad heavy horse, it will only be on Xingba. Go and prepare your horses, don't let down my expectations of you! ”
After saying something, Ma Chao said that his face was not blushing and he was out of breath, and he had the style of a leader in his previous life. And looking at Gan Ning's excited and grateful expression of 'the one who dies for his confidant', Ma Chao finally understood why the leaders of the agricultural base station in his previous life always liked to pat himself on the shoulder and say: "Young man, do a good job, I am optimistic about you........."
Sure enough, to be a leader is to enjoy your own personality charm! Moreover, if you are obedient and talk a lot and don't want money, why don't you say hello, I'm good, everyone?
When Gan Ning left last, Ma Chao's eyes widened and he vaguely saw the wetness of Gan Ning's cheeks. However, when he looked back at Lu Qiling, his face suddenly became a little colder, but after opening his mouth, Ma Chao suddenly felt that he and Lu Qiling had nothing to say........
This embarrassing state, even if Diao Chan wants to reconcile on the side, but there is nowhere to start. And Lu Qiling looked down at Ma Chao, although it was obvious that her youngest daughter admitted her mistake, but Ma Chao knew that several grievances between him and Lu Qiling had unconsciously drawn a huge gap between the two.
"Chao'er ........" Diao Chan was helpless, seeing that the two of them were silent, she had to force herself to speak: "Ling'er is young and ignorant, even if she ........ this time"
Speaking of this, Diao Chan also felt a kind of word poverty that he had never felt before. However, it was at this time that Gan Ning, who was outside the door, went and returned, and when he saw the embarrassing scene at the door, he couldn't help but be amazed. Standing in the doorway, I don't know whether to advance or retreat.
"Xingba, what's the matter?" Ma Chao waved his hand lazily and motioned for Gan Ning to come in. At this time, he really had the idea of escaping again: women's minds are always so deep, Ma Chao felt that if he studied the matter of his daughter-in-law in the backyard all day long, then the end of the Han Dynasty could only have one more nervous human psychologist, not a prince in troubled times.
"My lord," Gan Ning reached into his arms, took out another letter, and said ashamedly: "General Huang, in addition to the letter of recommendation, I also have this letter entrusted to me. It's just that I was so excited that I completely forgot about it........."
Ma Chao took the letter, and he didn't care much about it, but after reading the content of the letter word by word, his face changed several times, some were shocked, some were unbelieving, some were happy, but more were deep nostalgia and hatred! It wasn't until he read it carefully again that Ma Chao handed the letter in his hand to Diao Chan and said, "The shadow is really disappointing to me........."
Diao Chan suddenly heard Ma Chao's words, and her pretty face couldn't help but change a few times. But after reading the letter in her hand, Diao Chan's face became very strange, however, because Gan Ning and Lu Qiling were present, she couldn't explain it to Ma Chao clearly, just to verify: "As stated in General Huang's letter, General Gan once led 800 Jinfan troops to Liu Biao and stayed in Jiangxia County. And in Jiangxia, the general has also seen ........ Have you ever seen such tables and chairs? ”
When Diao Chan said this, his tone was very strange, and the thing he was referring to was also the table and chair that he pointed at at random after patrolling for a long time. And after Ma Chao listened to Diao Chan's question, he seemed to remember something, and listened to Gan Ning's answer.
"There are also them, but the style is different........," Gan Ning said, and he didn't know how to explain it, so he had to move out a posture chair and gesture: "The chairs in the Jiangxia area are on all sides, low in the front and high in the back, if you look at it sideways, it looks like a strange hat ........"
"Officer's hat chair?" Ma Chao looked at Gan Ning back and forth, his eyes gradually cleared, and finally called out the name.
"Yes!" Gan Ning was thinking hard about the name of the chair, but in a hurry, he couldn't remember it. As soon as Ma Chao spoke, Gan Ning immediately clapped his hands and replied: "It's exactly this name!" ”
The official hat chair is named because it looks like an official hat in its early four heads.
What Ma Chao made was a Taishi chair in the Qing Dynasty that combined function and favor, while the official hat chair had a prototype in the Southern Song Dynasty.
The ancients paid attention to the sitting appearance, whether it is the Taishi chair or the official hat chair, they can convey the majesty and dignity of the sitter through the modeling language of the backrest panel and the curve of the armrest. However, there is no trace of decoration on the top and bottom of the official hat chair, and the structure is extremely concise, saving time and materials in production. The seat supports the buttocks and thighs, the back supports the waist, the armrests support the upper body, and the feet are lined by footrests, which is also very ergonomic.
But no matter what you say, the official hat chair and the Taishi chair should not appear in the Han Dynasty!
And the only ones who can make these two kinds of chairs are Ma Chao and Liu Xie! However, Diao Chan's questioning made Ma Chao understand what she meant: if the official hat chair was made by Liu Xie, and it was prevalent to the extent that a river thief like Gan Ning had seen it, it would obviously not escape the eyes and ears of the shadows.........
'Then how did Jiangxia, or the official hat chair in the entire Jingzhou, appear? Ma Chao and Diao Chan glanced at each other, and they both saw the confusion and incomprehension in each other's eyes........
