As expected, whether in ancient times or modern times, not everyone loves children. But regardless of whether Lord Tang loves his son or not, can he not give up a little reputation and allow his second brother's wife's nephew to bully his son?

Rong Tang felt it was incredible.

And this Tang Fuyun is also a big fool. He can't fight back. Doesn't he know that if he runs away, those two brats can still catch up with him? In this regard, he is indeed not at a disadvantage, but a big fool.

"Where's your horse? I saw you riding out this morning!"

Tang Fuyun said, "I just went out and asked the second brother to borrow it."

The second son was the illegitimate son born to Concubine Cao.

Sima Xin beat his chest and stamped his feet, angrily saying, "That bastard cheated you eight times a day, why don't you remember it?"

Tang Fuyun then added, "Uncle has wronged my second brother. He only tricked me once today."

Rong Tang now has a preliminary understanding of Tang Fuyun. He is a man with extremely high IQ but poor EQ, and he has his own logic in doing things.

"Master Sima, please don't talk about him. Teach him well, teach him well."

As the three of them were talking, Rong Tang invited them into a restaurant and went up to the private room on the second floor.

While waiting for the food, Rong Tang talked about ordering eighty wheelchairs for the remaining soldiers in Fu Xinzhuang.

Sima Xin's heart skipped a beat. Although they were a court workshop and did not normally accept private work, they could accept it if the quantity was large and the price was right.

Tang Fuyun just had one word, "expensive!"

He just made one for Zheng Changzhi. Zheng Changzhi wanted everything to be the best. A wheelchair cost five hundred taels. How much would eighty of them cost?

forty thousand!

Sima Xin slammed the table and said, "Are you stupid? You don't need to make such a good one. An ordinary old-fashioned wheelchair can be made for more than ten taels of silver."

Tang Fuyun's handsome face frowned, "Wooden ones won't work. My brother-in-law wants them to be easy to use. The universal wheels alone would cost dozens of taels."

"Then there's no need for universal wheels."

"If we don't use universal wheels, we need support legs, otherwise it will be unstable. If we have support legs, the wheelchair will need someone to push it, and someone with all four limbs must be there to help. Do you think that's appropriate? They're not Master Zheng."

When it comes to his profession, Tang Fuyun is not stupid at all. With a few words, Sima Xin was speechless and cursed angrily, "You bastard, you didn't think so quickly when others bullied you, but you are so sharp-tongued when you are talking back to your uncle."

Tang Fuyun said a few more words, and when he saw Sima Xin was about to attack, Rong Tang tried to separate them, "Master Sima, Master, uncle..."

His uncle immediately let go of his nephew and said, "You said, nephew-in-law."

Rong Tang said stubbornly, "I have an immature idea. I have a method for smelting iron. Of course, I haven't tried it myself, but I saw it in ancient books. It says that using this method to forge iron into weapons is extremely sharp. It's a secret method of the ancient famous swordsman Gan Jiang. I can use this method to exchange for eighty wheelchairs from the court."

Sima Xin blinked his eyes vigorously, and Tang Fuyun stopped talking. He had a low EQ, but he was not stupid. He knew that his brother-in-law wanted to get something for free.

"Can't you?"

Sima Xin is, after all, a seventh-rank official and has some knowledge.

"My dear nephew, if your iron smelting method is truly useful and can elevate the weapons of the Dai Viet army to a new level, the imperial court will certainly reward you. However, I cannot guarantee the extent of the reward. Besides, whether your iron smelting method can actually be successful is still uncertain."

Rong Tang gritted his teeth. He couldn't do something like the Great Leap Forward in Steel Production in private, otherwise it would be considered a rebellion. He could only send it to the court through some channel.

"Okay, I'll give you this method first. You can give it a try. If it doesn't work, just consider it a failed experiment. If it does, we'll split the reward among us. As for the wheelchair, just make it first. I'll pay the price. You just have to control the cost. Aside from the universal wheels, you have to install them, and save on everything else."

The three of them racked their brains to think of ways to save money, and finally Rong Tang drew a blueprint for a lightweight and simple wheelchair with a solid wood top and an iron chassis, with the cost kept within fifty taels.

Even this would cost four thousand taels.

Rong Tang felt heartbroken, not because he was reluctant to spend the money, but because he really couldn't stop spending it. In the blink of an eye, the money from selling Fuxinzhuang was almost gone, and Doctor Zhang's clinic had not yet opened.

Rong Tang had a feeling that this old man was going to cheat him out of something big.

After paying a deposit of two thousand taels in advance and then paying for the food and drinks, Rong Tang's wallet was cleaner than his face.

"My nephew-in-law, my uncle is only a seventh-rank official. To put it bluntly, he is just a small craftsman leader. I have agreed to this task. If it succeeds, everyone will be happy. If it fails, don't blame my uncle for being incompetent. Don't worry, even if it fails, the money is still yours."

After dinner, Rong Tang left the restaurant and gave his horse to Tang Fuyun. "Ride back first. Your home is far away. I'll be there soon."

Tang Fuyun did not refuse, and he did not have the guts to do so, so he just took the opportunity to get on the horse.

"Remember, whoever touches this horse, tell him it belongs to Rong Tang."

Tang Fuyun agreed and rode away with his horse's belly between his legs.

Sima Xin felt a little ashamed. The Tang Mansion was only a few steps away from the Bo Mansion, but Tang Fuyun didn't think of this. He seemed a little silly.

"That niece-in-law, although Fuyun and Tiantian look a little different, they are not what outsiders say. My sister is not that kind of person. I don't know why they look so different, like barbarians."

The Sima family had suspected that the child had been switched, but when Tiantian was born, several women from the Sima family were present and saw with their own eyes that Tiantian was born with curly hair, which was very shocking.

But if you say that Mrs. Tang had an affair, this guy has a very special appearance. There haven't been any foreigners in Shangjing for decades. Her first child was like this. Mrs. Tang has already been under great pressure from public opinion. How could she have the courage to do it again?

Rong Tang certainly didn't think it was a big deal, and instead tried to comfort Sima Xin, "This is normal, it's inherited from the previous generation. Maybe the Sima or Tang family's ancestors married Hu women, and it wasn't made public in the middle, so the trait was passed down to his brother and sister. This isn't a shameful thing, and besides, they are so beautiful! Hey... hey... uncle..."

Sima Xin's eyes were filled with tears, and he was about to hug Rong Tang, but she dodged him.

"My nephew-in-law, you have cleared my sister of all charges. Uncle, go home and check the family tree to see which ancestor was so foolish as to marry a Hu woman..."

Eh! No, if the Hu bloodline of these two children is passed down from the Sima family, then that means he is also a direct blood relative of the Hu woman. It really is...

Rong Tang said, "Why bother with that? It might not be the Tang or Sima ancestors. It could also be their maternal family, their maternal family's maternal family. It might be several generations away, so it's hard to find out."

But he had no idea of ​​Sima Xin's determination. The Sima family was also a big family, and they had to save face and get this matter sorted out.

After parting ways, Rong Tang didn't want to go back to Rongjia Village at night, so he stayed at his uncle's house again.

Rong Xiu tried to persuade him to be careful right from the gate, saying that some unpleasant rumors had begun to spread on the street, saying that he was disobeying his parents and so on.

Rong Tang said only two words, "Ignore them. They are not my biological parents. You are the only biological parent in the Bo Mansion. If you hear any more unpleasant words, have Housekeeper Tao call Aunt Ma back. I bet she's anxious to pay back her debt."

"You kid, you're so frustrating! You won't listen. Where are you going? You don't want to eat, so I made dumplings for you..."
