The Record of Swordsmen in the Late Sui and Early Tang Dynasties

Chapter 162 Chapter 150

It wasn't too long before the owner of the tea shop came out with a smile on his face. The owner of the tea shop looked at Duan Wuji and said with a smile, "Just now I told my little sister Jiu, and she said that the three of you are all the same. Handsome young man, and they are all the ones who take advantage of others.

She hopes to marry and lead a happy life. Your family must not disappoint her! "

Duan Wuji laughed and said: "Don't worry, our family is not a family of frivolity and indifference. She can enjoy the blessings after she gets married."

Tieniu looked at Duan Changsheng and said: "Brother Changsheng, I don't know what happened to my brother Wuji, he became a matchmaker at such a young age.

And he also said that the matchmaker is addicted, saying one after another! "

"Is that so? Besides today, who else did he talk to as a matchmaker?"

"Who told you that there is no matchmaker? You told me about the matchmaker a few months ago."

"Is that done?"

"Why didn't it work out? Brother Wuji promised to take me to get married in May or June this year."

"Do your parents agree to this?"

Tie Niu smiled awkwardly.

"My parents still don't know about it, and I dare not tell them.

If my brother said it in person, my parents probably wouldn't be able to say anything. After all, they want to save face for my brother.

Brother Changsheng, do you think my analysis is correct? "

After hearing this, Duan Changsheng said noncommittally: "Then who knows? It seems that this matter has to be taken one step at a time."

The owner of the tea shop laughed and said, "Boss Duan, I didn't expect you to have such a big face in the family? It's amazing!"

At this moment, the meal was ready, Amei and Axiang moved the tables and chairs, and put all the meals on the table.

The owner of the tea shop brought out two jars of good daughter's red wine, and then said with a smile: "Three virtuous brothers, please sit down quickly, let's have a good meal today. Amei, Axiang, you too Let's sit down and eat together.

Now that the marriage is settled, these three people are no longer outsiders, they are all a family, so no one is polite. "

After everyone sat down, the owner of the tea shop poured fine wine for the people himself.

"Come on, brothers, I wish you success in this business, let's have a toast first."

Several people took a drink from their glasses.

The owner of the tea shop poured people a second glass of wine.

"Everyone, this second glass of wine is to celebrate my sister's successful engagement with Mr. Duan, come on, let's finish this glass too."

Ah Mei laughed and said, "Young Master Duan, you see that the marriage is settled, so what do you leave today as a token of love? You can't leave nothing at all, can you?"

Duan Changsheng laughed and said, "I came here today, and I didn't bring anything valuable, it's really embarrassing!"

Ah Mei laughed and said, "I said Mr. Duan, are you not specific in your love? Why don't you even want to give out this token of love?"

Sweat dripped from Duan Changsheng's face after he said a word.

"Sister-in-law, it's not that I don't want to give out a token of love, I really don't have anything valuable with me!"

After finishing speaking, Duan Changsheng stretched out his hands and started to feel around his body. When he touched his chest, Duan Changsheng was taken aback.

Duan Wuji saw it and said with a smile: "Brother, did you find something good?"

Duan Changsheng laughed and said, "What good things do I have on me? Just now I touched a small ornament. This is a small stone I picked up from the mountain. I saw it was brightly colored, so I tied it with a red rope. Tie it up, this thing is probably not even worth half a tael of silver."

"Yes, can you take it out and let me see it?"

"Look? What eyes do you know?"

As he spoke, Duan Changsheng took off the little ornament on his body, and handed it to Duan Wuji with both hands.

Duan Wuji took it and saw that it turned out to be a two-inch-long thing that looked like a leaf. This leaf also had a handle. red line.

The red rope is tied to the handle of the leaf.

Duan Wuji saw it and said with a smile: "Brother, you really don't understand eyes! Isn't this the best token of love? Look at how green the leaves are? Even the master jade carving is difficult to carve such a good thing Come on, the supernatural power of nature is really wonderful, it is really unexpected that such a wonderful thing can be formed naturally!

You might as well use it as a token of love, I think this thing is much better than that hundred taels of silver, this thing is so elegant. "

Duan Changsheng laughed and said: "Brother, I didn't expect you to be able to speak with your small mouth! You actually talked about such a broken stone so miraculously, brother, I have convinced you.

Well, since you said that, I'll take it as a token of love. "

Duan Wuji gave this thing to Ah Mui.

"Sister-in-law, my brother should take this thing as a token of love, and you can give it to Miss Axiang."

Duan Wuji looked at Ah Xiang and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law in the future, you should keep this thing well. If you think it is rustic, after I come back from business this time, I will replace it with a silver chain, of course , gold is also fine! Then it will become full of brilliance."

Ah Xiang smiled and said, "Brother, you have to keep your word! I'm just waiting for that day."

Duan Wuji laughed and said: "Of course, when will my words count?"

Ah Xiang put the thing away, and also took out an embroidered pouch from her body and handed it over.

A Xiang blushed and said: "I embroidered this a few years ago, let this be my return gift."

Amei took the purse and handed it over.

Duan Wuji snatched it up and took a look, only to see that one side embroidered mandarin ducks playing in water, and the other side embroidered a fat doll hugging a big red fish.

Duan Wuji handed the purse to Duan Changsheng, and then said with a smile: "Brother, keep it. This thing is pretty pretty."

Duan Changsheng took the load and packed it.

Duan Wuji looked at the owner of the tea shop and said, "Brother Niu, prepare the next batch of tea in ten or twenty days, and come back to purchase after we finish this business."

The owner of the tea shop nodded.

"Well, I know about this, so don't worry. You will never miss your next shipment."

After everyone had lunch, Duan Wuji looked at the owner of the tea shop and said with a smile: "Brother Niu, where is your southern fruit? Come and let us taste it. Don't just talk about it!"

The owner of the tea shop laughed and said, "Amei, take out some of the southern fruits you brought over from your hometown for everyone to taste."

Amei agreed and walked in.

Not long after, Amei took out a few sweet pimple-like things from the inner room.

Duan Wuji saw it and said with a smile: "This is the southern fruit? How can you eat this Dongliang? This thing looks so ugly! Is this food delicious?"

Tie Niu saw it and said with a smile: "Brother Niu, I guess this thing must have grown in the soil. Look at this Tulaba. I guess this thing must not be delicious."

Amei laughed and said, "Don't talk nonsense if you haven't eaten it. Who said that this thing grows in the soil? If you don't know, don't talk nonsense!"

Duan Wuji smiled and asked: "Sister-in-law, what's the name of this thing? Don't even know the name after a while, so won't it make people laugh if you tell it?"

Amei laughed and said, "We don't produce this thing in our hometown. My brother brought back two carts when he went to Fujian to transport tea. Let me tell you, this thing is called pineapple and it grows on the ground. .”

"Pineapple? What a strange name! Is this delicious?"

"It's delicious, don't you know after a while? Look, I'll peel the fruit for you now."

Amei took out a knife from the back room, and peeled the outer skin piece by piece. After peeling off the skin, Amei used the tip of the knife to dig out the skin from the pits on the pineapple skin. The fruit was cut into six petals, one for each person.

Duan Wuji took the first bite.

"Well, this food is really delicious. It's really sour and sweet. Why is it so delicious! I didn't expect such a delicious fruit in the south."

Duan Changsheng and Tie Niu were full of praise after taking a bite. Seeing that everyone had finished eating, Amei peeled another pineapple for everyone to eat.

After eating, the three stood up.

Just as Duan Changsheng was about to leave, the owner of the tea shop grabbed Duan Changsheng.

"Brother-in-law, don't leave yet, Amei and Axiang, take some more out of the house and let him take them back, so that other people in his family can try them too."

After hearing this, the two immediately walked into the house, took out two baskets of pineapples and put them on the car.

Duan Changsheng looked at Duan Wuji and asked in a low voice: "Wuji, what do you think about these two baskets of fruit?"

Duan Wuji said in a low voice without even thinking about it: "Let's give them a few as well. After all, this is a new thing. No one has tried it before. Let the two of them try it. We all ate it ourselves. Not good, brother, what do you think?"

Duan Changsheng nodded.

"Well, what you said makes sense. Well, let's do it like this. Brothers, you should be busy. I'll drive back right away."

"okay.

Brother, Brother Chai will come to our house to oversee the production of armor in a few days, you have to pay more attention!Six sets of this armor can be made, but if there are too many materials, you can also make seven sets, but don't waste this thing. "

"Okay, brother, I understand. That's fine, then I'll go back."

Duan Changsheng unhooked the horse and drove the carriage away.

Duan Wuji and Tieniu untied their horses and said goodbye to the owner of the tea shop: "Brother Niu, we will pass now. If a carriage comes, you can organize people to load it. We will leave this to you." gone."

"No problem, my two virtuous brothers, whether you come or not, I will definitely organize people to install this car, so you can rest assured."

The two got on their horses, and immediately hit the horses and ran straight to Chai Shao's house.

At the gate of Chai Shao's house, Tie Niu jumped off his horse and stepped up the steps. Tie Niu smiled at the guard.

"Everyone, hello, let's go to the mansion to find brother Chai Shaochai, which one of you should go in and report?"

The gatekeepers looked at it and said with a smile: "Isn't this the two young masters? There is no need to report this matter, Mr. Chai has already explained it to you, you can go in directly."

One of the gatekeepers said to two of them: "Take the horses of the two young masters to the stable, and feed them to me with good grass and materials. You two young men, follow the younger ones."

Duan Wuji and Tie Niu handed over the horses to two gatekeepers, and then followed the gatekeeper directly to the Chai Mansion.

At this time, noon had just passed, and the whole Chai Mansion was quiet.
