Pressure is motivation.

Lang Qing worked in the watch workshop for more than a month, and it is said that he had to burn the midnight oil and work hard every day. This made Li Kuansheng afraid that he would die suddenly, so he was forced to take three days off.

Haste makes waste.

There was no other way, Li Kuan gave the order, and Lang Qing had no choice but to rest.

Taking this opportunity, he also returned to his home in Yonghefang.

Sending Buddha to the West, good people will do it to the end.

Lang Qing is now the benchmark set by Li Kuan, so Xu Jingzong specially arranged a carriage with various things prepared on it, which will definitely allow the Lang family to celebrate the Lantern Festival.

"Lang Ming, I heard that the Big Ben on Mingde Gate was invented by a man named Lang Qing. Is it your Lang Qing?"

"It's not like they have the same name, right? It's said that Langqing received a reward of 10,000 yuan, and is now very famous in Guanshishan Academy."

"Yes, if I had ten thousand strings, no, even if I only had one thousand strings, then I wouldn't live in Yonghefang."

"I heard that after your family Langqing was sent to Guanshishan Academy to study, he didn't come back a few times a year. Now he hasn't even come back for the New Year. This son won't be raised by others, right?"

"Lang Ming, I heard from the butcher at the intersection that your family has never bought meat again except half a catty of lean meat on New Year's Day. Are you being too frugal?"

During the Lantern Festival, all workshops are on holiday.

Although it was only ten o'clock in the morning, all the neighbors in Yonghefang were sitting in front of their homes in twos and threes, bragging and chatting.

Originally, Lang Ming's presence was never strong, and people rarely used him as a topic of conversation.

However, some time ago, a piece of news came out from somewhere, indicating that the Big Ben on Demen was invented by Lang Qing. Now the neighbors are much more interested in Lang Qing.

The surname Lang is not a common surname.

There shouldn't be many people with the same name.

In addition, everyone knew that Lang Ming's son was studying at Guanshishan Academy, so it was no wonder that the neighbors in Yonghe Square became gossipy.

"Don't be ridiculous, everyone. This Langqing might just have the same name as my son."

The loyal, honest and simple Lang Qing sat in the crowd with a bit of a look, and he didn't even believe that this Lang Qing was his own Lang Qing.

In fact, at first he also thought that this Lang Qing must be his son.

But without even coming back for the Chinese New Year, Lang Ming's confidence began to lose.

In the past, Lang Qing didn't like Chinese New Year very much. That was because other people's children had delicious food and beautiful clothes to wear during the Chinese New Year, but he didn't have any.

Now that there is a reward of 10,000 yuan, there is no shortage of all these things.

"I think it's also the same name, otherwise I wouldn't have gone home during the Chinese New Year."

"Hey, you're not afraid of having too much money. Let's go to your home to borrow money."

"It's possible, maybe someone has bought a yard in the place where wealthy families live in Changxingfang, and is just waiting to move."

Seeing Lang Qing talking like this, the neighbors started teasing him.

In fact, they don't necessarily have any bad intentions, they are just a little envious and jealous.

However, honest people can also be somewhat angry.

Lang Ming, who had always felt comfortable because Lang Qing didn't go home for the New Year, now heard these words and immediately raised his voice and said, "Is it interesting for you to talk like this all day?"

After Lang Ming said this, the anger he just mentioned could not be expressed anymore.

An honest person has never blushed with anyone, and he even doesn't know how to curse.

"Hey, things will be different after our Master Lang has a powerful son. He knows how to yell at us."

"Lang Ming, you won't act like you don't know us when you walk on the road, right?"

"It's just someone with the same name, why are you so proud?"

Many people have never been yelled at by Lang Ming in their lives, and they feel very unhappy when they are suddenly yelled at.

Lang Ming was scolded by several neighbors and couldn't get off the stage. He couldn't stand there with his face flushed, nor could he sit down.

"Hey, how could such a luxurious four-wheeled carriage come into our small alley?"

Soon, everyone's attention shifted.

Because at this time, at the exit of the alley, a four-wheeled carriage was slowly driving in.

Although four-wheeled carriages are not a rare item in Chang'an City, they can even be seen all over the streets.

But it has never happened before that a luxurious four-wheeled carriage like this appeared in a small alley in Yonghefang.

Although these people are all homeowners in Chang'an City, there are not many families who can afford a consistent amount of money.

Such a luxurious four-wheeled carriage worth hundreds of pounds was even more beyond their imagination.

This is like a Rolls-Royce Phantom arriving in the slums of later generations, and everyone's attention will naturally shift to this car.

"That's weird. You're not lost, right? Why are you still walking inside?"

"This carriage has the logo of Guanshishan Academy on it. It seems to be the carriage of Guanshishan Academy."

Although none of these neighbors can afford such a luxurious carriage, it does not prevent them from acquiring some knowledge.

This is just like when people in later generations talk about luxury cars, they all talk clearly and clearly, as if they all have a few Ferraris at home.

It's human nature.

"Hey, the carriage didn't turn away, it's coming towards us."

"It has slowed down. It couldn't be... it couldn't be coming to find Lang Ming, right?"

In the alley, Lang Ming's home can be related to Guanshishan Academy, so it's no wonder everyone thinks so.

"Aye!"

Following the sound of the coachman stopping the horses, Lang Qing opened the curtain of the carriage with his own hands, and immediately saw his father sitting at the door of his small yard.

"Dalang, you...why did you come back in a carriage?"

Lang Ming saw that his son, whom he had not seen for a long time, appeared in front of him like this, and he was a little uncomfortable.

"Today is the Lantern Festival. His Royal Highness the King of Chu does not want me to continue working in the workshop, so he asked Xu Canjun to arrange a carriage to take me home. There are still a lot of things on the carriage."

Lang Qing jumped off the carriage, then saw the familiar neighbors around him and said hello.

"Lang Dalang is so prosperous."

"You can actually meet His Royal Highness the King of Chu?"

"I heard that you invented the Big Ben at Mingdemen?"

"Datang Daily said that the student from Guanshishan Academy who invented Big Ben received a reward of 10,000 yuan. Is it true?"

As soon as Lang Qing got off the carriage, the neighbors started asking questions.

"Uncles, you are laughing. The Big Ben was made by me under the guidance of His Royal Highness King Chu and with the help of other students and craftsmen. It is not my fault alone. As for the reward, in fact, the statement is not very accurate.

That’s just the dividends that His Royal Highness the King of Chu ordered to be distributed in advance.”

Although the neighbors are not good people, they are not bad people either.

Lang Qing grew up here, so he naturally understands the nature of these people.

Today they were quarreling, and tomorrow the two families were having a huge quarrel over whether the wall should be moved inward one foot.

However, when someone is in trouble, they all have the money and ability to contribute.

"So, you are really a wealthy person?"

After hearing this, Lang Qing said nothing and smiled on his face, which was regarded as acquiescence.

However, this frightened Lang Ming.

Ten thousand guan.

This...why does this money feel like it fell from the sky?

Ordinary families would be very happy if they suddenly had dozens or even hundreds of coins.

But if you suddenly have an extra ten thousand dollars, you will be even more worried.

There is not much joy.

Even in later generations it will be similar.

If you won a prize of five million, you would definitely be laughing so hard that you couldn't sleep.

But if you win a prize of 100 million, you will be too nervous to sleep at night.

"There is a slaughtered sheep and half a pig on this carriage. Aye, please ask everyone to help share a share."

Lang Qing's words brought Lang Ming back to reality.

The driver who was driving the car must have received orders from Xu Jingzong and took the initiative to help move things out of the carriage.

Needless to say, mutton and pork.

There were also a few bags of rice and flour, a lot of cabbage and radish, and even several jars of Erguotou and Shao Daozi.
