Previous page Return to Catalog Next page
- Zhao Xiaowu's family lived in the southeast of Lingxi Town, and happened to see a few tinkling blacksmith shops on the way there. Li Tang picked out a steel knife that was similar to the imperial standard and straddled his waist. The quality may not be as good as the imperial steel knives, but they are still usable.
Li Tang took Xie Wenyu, who was carrying a flower tree, to Zhao Xiaowu's residence. The door was closed tightly, and a rusty copper lock was hung on it. Li Tang sighed softly, and looked around at Zhao Xiaowu's house. When the other two residents were looking around, an old man limped over with a cane from a distance. Li Tang immediately walked over to ask Zhao Xiaowu's whereabouts, but he didn't realize it until he got closer. The old man knew himself.
"Ah, Elder Immortal, what wind brought you here."
Before Li Tang could speak, the old man took a few steps forward to greet him. It was none other than the lame old man who helped him up the mountain that day on Changsheng Mountain. It was just that when they first met that day, the old man had a grudge in his heart and forgot. In order to tell Li Tang what his name was, now that the old man saw the immortal again, the grudge in his heart was gone, so he told Li Tang his name.
Chen Laosi pulled the two of them into his home and shouted loudly: "Qing'er, go make tea quickly, there are guests at home!"
A plainly dressed but beautiful girl came out of the room, and after seeing Li Tang and Xie Wenyu, she bowed slightly and went to the kitchen to boil water and make tea.
"Immortal Head, come, come, sit in the house, there is nothing good to entertain the Immortal Head at home, only this little camellia is left, I hope you don't dislike it."
"Hehe, why would you dislike it? To be honest, I also came from a hard life, but then again, I can't be a fairy leader. If Mr. Chen doesn't see anyone, just call me Li Tang, this one It's Miss Xie Wenyu, from Jinyang City."
"It turns out that the celestial elder is not surnamed Chu. I spread the word around my neighbors that there is a celestial elder from the Chu family. In this case, I will call you Mr. Li," Chen Lao Si cupped his hands at Li Tang and Xie Wenyu. , "Miss Xie came to Jinyang City, Jinyang City is good, it is a big city, I think I used to be a soldier there when I was young, and I still thought that I would have to stay in Jinyang City no matter what, Whoever wanted to break his leg would retreat from the military and had to go back to our town of Lingxi to live. Unfortunately, Qing'er's mother died early, and now it's only me and Qing'er, father and daughter, who are left to depend on each other. "
"Old Chen was still a soldier in Jinyang City?"
"yes¡¡"
Through Chen Laosi's eloquent talk, Li Tang finally understood that when the prairie people invaded, Chen Laosi was ordered to garrison Jinyang City. When Jinyang City was broken, he was forced to retreat to Lingxi Town. With military achievements, he can be a commander no matter what his military achievements are. He is brave and good at fighting, and resists to the death. When the Chu family sent out surprise troops to repel the prairie people, he also led his troops to pursue him. Unexpectedly, he was stubbornly resisted at this time. The prairie man cut his leg and fell off his horse. Although his injury has recovered a little since then, he can no longer ride a horse.
When discussing rewards for meritorious deeds, Chen Laosi knew that he would not be able to fight immediately in the future, so he voluntarily retired from the army, carrying the reward silver from the imperial court in his arms, and wanted to buy an empty house in Jinyang City Settled down, but those aristocratic families have already acquired the empty house and sold it at a high price. The helpless Chen Laosi had to drag his rotten leg to Lingxi Town step by step, where he married a wife and had children. With Qinger.
The more Chen Laosi talked, the more excited he became. When he talked about fighting and killing the enemy, he even raised the crutch in his hand and gestured for the posture of going into battle to kill the enemy, his eyes were full of killing spirit. Li Tang and Xie Wenyu also listened with gusto, constantly admiring Chen Laosi's bravery. This was the first time Li Tang heard his father's subordinates tell this story. At this moment, Qing'er left with a few bowls of tea. Come in.
"Father, you're here again. You can't get tired of telling just that little story. If you like to tell it, others may not necessarily like to listen to it."
"Look at you girl, I'm telling the fairy about the past, it's not enough for you to criticize, okay, don't talk, don't talk, Mr. Li, Miss Xie, drink tea and drink tea."
Chen Laosi made a humble gesture, Xie Wenyu looked at the hot tea in front of him covered with beads of sweat, it was midsummer, no matter how delicious hot tea was, it was difficult to drink, neither of them was in a hurry, Li Tang looked at the tea and put it down Chen Qing'er, who was about to turn around and leave, shouted.
"You are Miss Qing'er? Come on, sit down."
Chen Qing'er froze slightly, looking at the two strangers in front of her, she couldn't help but frown. Just now, the copper lock of Zhao Xiaowu's house next door made a sound. She knew that it was her brother Xiaowu who came back, and she thought about finishing cooking. Cha hurried to find him, but was stopped by Li Tang unexpectedly. Mr. Chen saw his daughter standing in front of him.She was stunned, and angrily called her to sit down. Chen Qing'er had no choice but to sit down on this dilapidated square table, facing her father.
"Hehe, Miss Qing'er, don't be angry, in fact, I came here today to find you."
As he spoke, Li Tang began to dig out a silver orchid hairpin, several boxes of high-quality makeup powder, and two hundred taels of silver. She was from a poor family, she had never seen so much money, and she had never seen so many good things. She lost her mind for a while and looked at Chen Laosi with empty eyes.
Chen Laosi immediately understood what it meant, and quickly waved his hands and said: "Mr. Li, you must not force it. Although my little girl is somewhat beautiful, she is not worth so much money. Besides, my little girl has long been interested in her. Mr. Li My old man appreciates your kindness, and please take it back quickly, Mr. Li."
Xie Wenyu on the side burst into laughter when Chen Laosi said that, Li Tang also smiled and explained: "Old Chen, what are you thinking, do you think I am proposing marriage to Miss Qinger, haha .¡±
"Isn't it?" At the same time, it also brought Chen Laosi's ignorance. Therefore, the father and daughter looked at Li Tang at the same time, wanting to know what it meant from Li Tang's mouth.
"You all misunderstood. Zhao Xiaowu actually asked me to send these things for him. Mr. Chen, when I was not on the mountain, we both said that he could not earn much money by standing guard at the gate of the city. He came to work in the Chu family, have you forgotten?"
"Oh yes, I said that, but what exactly does he do, and how can he earn so much money in such a short period of time?"
Although Chen Laosi desperately hoped that Zhao Xiaowu would achieve his goal of earning money as soon as possible, but when someone sent the money, he was still worried about him. Not to mention hairpins and makeup, just two hundred taels of silver is enough for a family The family of three has lived frugally for twenty years. Such a large amount is beyond the imagination of ordinary people like him.
"This is the wish of our young master of the Chu family. He learned that Zhao Xiaowu is upright and conscientious, and you, the old man of the Chu family, also know that he is a member of our town and rarely recruits from outside. The young master of the Chu family attaches great importance to recruiting Zhao Xiaowu in, so let me give you something first, I hope you two will get married quickly, and then you can add another helper to the Chu family, right?"
"Hehehe, Xiaowu is such a stupid boy, and he has such ability, it really opened the eyes of this old man."
Afterwards, Li Tang told the Chen family father and daughter the few stories that Zhao Xiaowu told Xiao Taohong in Huayue Tower, the hairpin, makeup powder, and the rose tree in the courtyard outside the door, but The place has changed, Huayue Tower has become the courtyard of the Chu family, the more Chen Laosi listens, the happier he is, Chen Qing'er blushes, and after hearing that these things are all sent by Zhao Xiaowu, she reaches out and grabs the hairpin , ran out with his hands covering his face.
"Now Mr. Chen should know what I'm here for. Originally, I wanted to go to Zhao Xiaowu's house and give the things to him. I didn't expect him to meet you again when he was not at home. Isn't this just a coincidence? , directly sent the betrothal gift to your house, and when the time comes, Feng Guanxia will carry it directly to Chu's house."
"Okay, okay, Xiaowu is promising, and his father's spirit in heaven is not in vain. Thanks to our Queen Song, my little girl is also qualified to carry a big sedan chair, Feng Guanxiapei."
Before the Qingcang Dynasty, all the girls from poor families were picked up by sedan chairs when they got married, and they only rented some relatively good-looking decorations in their dress, but the style was not gorgeous. Zhou Xian's Empress surnamed Song stood in front of the gate of Qian'an Hall and announced to the world that my Qingcang girl, no matter how poor, rich or humble, can wear royal clothes, phoenix crown and Xiapei on the day of marriage.
This is undoubtedly the most popular gift Qingcang gave to women all over the world at the beginning of the founding of the country, and the whole country cheered for it.
"Old Chen, do you know when Zhao Xiaowu will come back?"
"Why, since he works in the Chu family, Mr. Li doesn't know where he went?"
"To tell you the truth, there are people coming and going in the Chu family, and I don't stay with him often, so I don't know his whereabouts, so I came to his house to look for him."
"Oh, so that's how it is." Chen Laosi glanced at the sky outside. Although the afternoon sun was much softer, the heat wave still hit his face. I bought some daily necessities such as daily necessities, rice, oil, and salt from outside, and it¡¯s about the same time as usual, and it¡¯s already this time, so I guess it¡¯s time to come back.¡±
"Then I'll wait a little longer, and I'll go find him when he comes back."
"Is Mr. Li looking for something urgent? If so, I'll go out and help find him."
"It's not urgent, so I won't bother Mr. Chen, just wait for him to come back."
While the two were still chatting, a person suddenly came from outside the gate. He was holding a steel knife in his hand, and he was about to rush in regardless of anything. Qing'er behind him was full of helplessness, no matter how he stopped him Unable to stop him, he took a closer look at the broken stubble on the top of the steel knife, which was just scribbled with a few rivets. It was Zhao Xiaowu who came, and the steel knife was also cut off by Li Tang with an air machine. That steel knife.; "It's not urgent, so I won't bother Mr. Chen, just wait for him to come back."
