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

Chapter 285 Chapter 270
The two brothers rode horses and rode the animals in a hurry along the way. Since they brought a lot of things, the two of them were very careful along the way!I am afraid of losing what I have worked so hard to earn.

Along the way, the two brothers were hungry for food and hunger, and Xiaoxing stayed overnight. After more than five days of hard trekking, the two of them finally arrived at Houjiazhuang again at around noon that day.

The two of them drove the animals eastward, heading straight for Hou's house, and when they arrived at Hou Guantang's house, they made the whole family very happy.

Hou Hongsheng was busy with work, Tieniu said with a smile: "Father-in-law, you see that I got so many animals this time, it's useless for me to take them all back, why don't I just leave you four?" A cow, you give me one head for my elder sister and second sister.

Wouldn't it be convenient for your family to keep the two heads and plow the land in the future? "

"Ah? My son-in-law, you gave me so many things again?

How dare I call this an old man? "

"What's the point of embarrassment? Our family does not lack this. Our family is so rich, but yours is so poor. They say that this wealth is water, and does the water flow to low places? This is not true at all. Fake!

You say that I eat well every day, how can I watch you eat bran swallowed vegetables every day?
By the way, I will leave you another horse. If you go out in the future, you can ride it! "

Hou Guantang was so happy that he couldn't find the north.

"My son-in-law, you are too generous, you gave me so many things as soon as you made a move! Not only do I follow suit, but your two sisters-in-law also follow suit!"

Tie Niu laughed when he heard this.

"Let's get rich, who told me to be rich? If you don't get rich from me, who will you get rich from?"

After a while, Hou Yinping walked in from the outside.

Duan Wuji saw it and said with a smile: "Oh! Sister-in-law came in, why does this little face look good again? Did you miss my brother?"

Hou Yinping blushed when he heard this, knowing that Duan Wuji was joking with him.

Hou Yinping came over and gave Duan Wuji a hard look without saying a word.

Hou Guantang looked at his daughter and said with a smile: "Ping'er, hurry up and cook for them, they must not have eaten yet."

Hou Yinping agreed and turned around and went out.

Tieniu looked at Hou Guantang and said with a smile: "Father-in-law, tell Hongsheng to go find two carriages, we can leave after dinner!"

"Huh? Are you leaving so soon? Why can't you stay here for two days?"

"No, this time our brothers went out, the delay was long enough, maybe the family was already in a hurry.

If you don't go back, you should be scolded when you go home. "

"Really? Hey, my son-in-law, have you made any money this time?

Can you tell me! "

Tie Niu laughed and said, "Well, let's say I earned it, but it's not much, but I didn't run in vain."

"Then how much did you earn? Can you tell me?"

"What's the point of this? My brother and I, each of us earned 5000 taels of silver, that's all we earned. In addition, we earned a few animals in the yard."

"Oh my God! I earned 5000 taels of silver! How did you earn so much! You can't spend it all in your life, right?
My son-in-law, you are very capable of earning money. Ping'er married into your family as a right marriage, and now you are marrying into a wealthy family.

I can't blame my virtuous son-in-law for being so generous, it turns out that you can make money so much! "

Duan Wuji smiled and said: "Old man, don't forget, your daughter is my matchmaker!

You have to cook me something delicious for lunch today! "

"That's for sure, that's for sure, old man, I can't forget the great matchmaker!

Wuji, Niu Tie, you two stay at home first, I'll call my two daughters and their family over.

We have to have a reunion dinner together at noon today!

Reunion this time, next time we will be a reunion member, maybe in which year or month we will go. "

Duan Wuji and Tieniu listened and nodded.

Hou Guantang turned around and walked out of the house.

Duan Wuji looked at Tieniu and said with a smile: "Brother Tieniu, why are you so generous today? This is not your usual style!"

"Hey, life is like this once, how many times do you think this person can get married? We should throw away a thousand, what's the matter!

Brother, what do you think? "

Duan Wuji laughed when he heard this.

"Well, that's the way it is, but we have to hurry up! This small family can stand up to our fussing around here?

Brother Tieniu, what do you think? "

"Well, let's go after dinner, to be honest, I've been homesick for a long time.

I just don't know if Hongsheng can find me the car, it's really not reassuring! "

Duan Wuji laughed and said: "Brother Tieniu, if you really can't find a car, you might as well ask your sister-in-law to go back on a horse, so we can save two dollars."

"Riding back? Can she ride a horse? If she can, then the relationship will be better, and we will save trouble."

Duan Wuji laughed and said: "When we are having dinner later, don't you just ask her and she will know?

Brother Tieniu, what do you think? "

"Well, that's fine! After dinner, I'll ask her again."

Not long enough, Hou Guantang brought his eldest daughter and second daughter's family over, and the house immediately became lively.

The two daughters came and immediately helped wait Yinping to cook, the two uncles ran over to chat with Duan Wuji and Tie Niu, and the children ran around the house, making the house messy. Flying dog jumps.

The time was not long, the food was served, Duan Wuji saw it, ho!The meals are quite hearty, with about twenty dishes including vegetables.

Duan Wuji nodded when he saw it, knowing that the family had brought out the best things in the house.

The whole family ate around the table, but Hongsheng hadn't come back yet.

Tie Niu saw it and said with a smile: "Hey, Yin Ping, why hasn't Hongsheng come back yet? Where has he gone? Why hasn't he come back yet!"

Hou Yinping laughed and said: "Didn't he go looking for a car? Who knows where he went looking for it, why hasn't he come back now!

Really anxious to death. "

Hou Guantang laughed and said: "Let's leave him alone, let's eat first. Let's eat when he comes back."

Just when people were almost full, Hou Hongsheng walked in from the outside.

"Brother-in-law and sister, the carriages have been found. We have found two carriages in total, both of which are covered carriages! This carriage is the best carriage in our county, so it is beautiful.

After a while you will be satisfied, but the rent is a little bit expensive. "

After hearing this, Hou Guantang hurriedly asked: "Then how much is the rent for this car?"

"Each car will cost 40 taels of Wenyin to be sent to Taiyuan Mansion.

Don't you think it's a bit expensive? "

"Ah? You prodigal son! You really spend money! Do you think that money is blown by the wind?

My little ancestor, you really pissed me off. "

Hou Guantang said very angrily.

"Father, you said that my brother-in-law's family is so rich, and you made it too shabby, isn't that embarrassing?

Brother-in-law, what do you think? "

"Well, it's such a gift, why is it expensive, it's not expensive at all, how expensive it is for me to co-author.

Hey, father-in-law, who will follow our house this time?

Have you discussed it? "

Yue Guantang laughed and said, "Our family really hasn't discussed this!

You said it's a busy day, who wants to run back and forth! "

"I don't care about you guys. This time the younger sister is getting married, and I, the eldest sister, have to go there anyway. No matter how busy I am, it's not good if no one from our natal family goes there."

"Eldest sister, if you go, my second sister will have to follow!

Isn't it just a delay of ten days or 20 days?I'll go too, I'll go out to learn more about the world, otherwise, I'll spend my whole life nestling in this ravine, and I won't be able to see anything! "

Hou Guantang looked at Hou Hongsheng and said, "Hongsheng, your little sister is getting married, are you going?"

Hou Hongsheng shook his head when he heard this.

"I won't go there for now. If I want to go, I'll go there after the autumn harvest is over."

Hou Guantang laughed and said, "It's fine if her two elder sisters go, and the rest of us won't go."

"Mother, my aunt is getting married, I will go with you too, I won't stay at home by myself."

"Oh! My little ancestor, what are you doing? What is your business?"

"Mom, I'll follow you to eat good food! What do you think I can eat at our house?"

"Mother, my brother is going, and I'm going too, and I'm going to eat something good too."

"Mother, you see that the two elder brothers of my aunt's house have gone, so why don't you take the two of us too? Then we brothers will play together!"

"Hey! You guys know how to eat! I'm really ashamed of myself."

"If you are the head of the family, you can take them there. After they leave, the house will be quieter. Don't you think so?"

"Well, all right! You all go. They should also go out to see the world."

Tie Niu laughed and said, "Elder Sister, Second Sister, if you go, I won't let you go in vain. I'll give each of you four bolts of cloth. You can make some decent clothes when you come back!"

"Yo! You know how to curry favor with our sister and son so quickly? All right!

What kind of good fabric can you bring in, let's have a look. "

Tie Niu went outside the courtyard, untied the bundle from the horse, and brought in twelve bolts of brocade cloth.

The whole family looked stupid at first sight.

"Oh! What kind of cloth is this? Why is it so beautiful? Can we wear it out in this poor mountain valley?"

Tie Niu laughed and said: "This was made from the palace in the capital, can this be relied upon?
This is exactly twelve bolts, four bolts of cloth for each of your three families.

Now that we have discussed everything, eldest sister, second sister, let's get in the car and leave. "

Tie Niu took another 1000 taels of silver from the horse and put it on the table.

"Father-in-law, here is 1000 taels of silver, and it will be used for Hongsheng to marry his wife in the future."

"Oh! My son-in-law, you have already given the bride price, why are you paying it back now?

Well, what can the old man say! "

Hou Yinping saw it and said with a smile: "Father, since he gave it to you, you can keep it. I will leave in the future. I will be happy if you live a better life."

"Well, then I'll accept it, my son-in-law, thank you."

Hou Yinping took out his little baggage and said to his two elder sisters: "Eldest sister and second sister, take the children and get in the car quickly, let's go."

The three sisters and children got into the carriage with their children, Duan Wuji and Tieniu drove the animals on the road, the two carriages followed behind, went straight to Taiyuan Mansion and then rushed down, hunger for food and drink along the way, Xiao Xiao Overnight, after five or six days of slow travel, at noon that day, the group of people finally arrived home.
