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

Chapter 46 Chapter 46
When the three horses arrived at Duanjiaji, Duan Yingchun said with a smile, "Wuji, why don't you come to my house for a rest?"

Duan Wuji laughed and said: "Well, I won't go today, let's go tomorrow, I will definitely come tomorrow, it's not early today, I'd better go home first."

Duan Yingchun nodded.

"Well, that's fine. Hey, Niu Tie, you have to come over tomorrow to teach your three brothers martial arts. Although these three boys have been learning from you for a while, they have no foundation after all."

Tie Niu listened and nodded.

"Okay, Second Grandpa, then I'll go home today, let's see you tomorrow."

After finishing speaking, Tie Niu immediately ran to his house as soon as he hit the horse.

When Duan Wuji returned home, he tied the horses to the barn first, and then happily returned home with the money.

Duan Yanqing took the white money and immediately put it away with a happy face.

Liu Caihua looked at her youngest son and said, "Damn, you've worked hard today, mother will cook something delicious for you.

You wait here. "

Duan Wuji laughed and said: "Mother, don't bother with that, just do something easy."

Liucaihua laughed and said, "Oh, you are not greedy anymore, bastard! Why are you talking about it today?"

Duan Wuji laughed and said: "Mother, you said that our food is good recently, we eat this good food every day, there is already oil in our stomachs, how can we eat well every day?
Besides, our family is not very rich. "

Liucaihua smiled and said, "Oh, I didn't expect the brat to learn how to live. It's true that the sun is coming out from the west."

Duan Wuji laughed and said: "Mother, when will I not be able to live a life! Don't put shit on your head, okay?"

Duan Yanqing laughed and said: "It's fine, it's fine. You two don't just tease each other.

The head of the house, hurry up and cook. "

After hearing this, Liu Caihua patted Duan Wuji's back lightly, then turned around and went out.

Duan Yanqing looked at Duan Wuji and said: "Wuji, you see the cow is sold, and there is nothing to do now, what are your plans for the future!"

Duan Wuji laughed and said: "Brother Chai is going to do a business with me in partnership, and I'm going to find him the day after tomorrow to discuss with him."

"How to buy and sell? Can you tell me about it?"

Duan Wuji laughed and said: "Brother Chai wants to go with me to sell some horses on the grassland in the north. This business may make a lot of money, but the risk is also very high. If it doesn't work out, it may lose everything. This matter I'm thinking about how to do it."

Duan Yanqing laughed and said: "Wuji, no matter what you decide, Dad, I will fully support you.

Daddy will never hold you back. "

Duan Wuji listened and hugged Duan Yanqing.

"Father, father, you are such a nice person."

Before long, Liu Caihua brought the rice, and Duan Wuji laughed at the sight.

"What? It's still big roll meat!"

Liucaihua shouted loudly towards the back room: "Changsheng, Changsheng, come out to eat."

Duan Changsheng immediately ran out of the house after hearing this, and the whole family had dinner around the table.

Duan Wuji stood up and said to Liucaihua: "Mother, I won't be at home for breakfast tomorrow morning, I'm going to eat at the third grandfather's house."

Duan Yanqing laughed and said: "Wuji, I think you should go there after you have breakfast, how inappropriate it is to go to someone's house to have breakfast!"

Duan Wuji thought for a while and said: "Father, I listen to you, so let's go there after eating.

Father and mother, please rest, I have gone back to the courtyard of the cowshed to practice martial arts. "

After speaking, Duan Wuji walked back to his yard.

Back in his yard, Duan Wuji fed his horse first, and then practiced boxing and kicking for a while, then, Duan Wuji took a big stick and practiced in the yard whistling until he was tired Drenched in sweat, Duan Wuji returned to his room.

Duan Wuji put away the big stick, then sat cross-legged to meditate and began to practice the new method of inner strength. It was not until the middle of the night that Duan Wuji took off his clothes and fell into a deep sleep.

In the morning of the next day, Duan Wuji got up early, first moved his hands and feet in the yard, and then performed a few sword exercises.

Afterwards, he practiced archery in the yard, shooting arrows with carved feathers one by one at the pillar that tied the cattle.Duan Wuji shot and pulled, and shot more than 100 arrows in a row before Duan Wuji took the bow and arrow.

After breakfast, Duan Wuji rode on his steed and went straight to Duanjiaji.After entering the third grandpa's house, Duan Wuji tied up his horse and went straight to the third grandpa's upper room.

Entering the upper room, I saw the third grandfather was chatting with Duan Yingchun.

When the two saw Duan Wuji walking in, they quickly moved a chair for Duan Wuji to sit down.

Grandpa Sanzu said with a smile: "Wuji, you see that the cows have been sold and made a lot of money. Are you going to raise cattle next year? What do you think? Tell Grandpa Sanzu quickly. explain."

Duan Wuji laughed and said, "Grandpa Sanzu, I plan not to raise cattle for the time being next year, and I plan to do a big business with my Brother Chai."

"Oh? Wuji, what business are you doing? Tell the third grandfather quickly."

Duan Wuji laughed and said: "I have already agreed with Brother Chai, we are going to sell a batch of good horses on the prairie, and Brother Chai will sell them to the government for 100 taels of silver per horse. Make a lot of money. Isn't this faster than raising money for cattle?"

"Really? Then when will you start to leave?"

Duan Wuji laughed and said: "I plan to leave after the Chinese New Year next year. At that time, the grass is the least on the grassland. The price of horses is relatively low, and it is relatively easy to do business."

"Really? Then how much money are you going to invest? How many people are you going to go to?"

Duan Wuji smiled and said: "I haven't discussed these matters with Brother Chai in detail, I will discuss these specific matters with Brother Chai tomorrow."

The third grandfather laughed and said: "Wuji, tell Chai Shao tomorrow, can we get into a small stock?

If there is a shortage of people, ask Chang Qing and Chang Hao to go with you. "

Duan Wuji listened and nodded.

"Okay, Grandpa Sanzu, this matter is on my shoulders, as for my three older brothers, whether they can go or not depends on their own abilities.

Grandpa Third Patriarch, this is a dangerous job. If you don't have any skills, it will be a burden, even life-threatening. "

The third grandfather listened and nodded.

"Well, Wuji, I know what you said, but why do you have no risk?

The three boys are not young anymore, last year you went to sell cattle on the prairie with Tieniu, didn't you also bring the cattle dealer back?

It's just nesting at home, and there is no big future in the end, the third grandfather, I will fight it out today.

I decided to leave these three boys to you, and you can take care of them for me. "

The third grandfather turned his head and said to Duan Yingchun: "Yingchun, go and find some children, I will tell them."

After hearing this, Duan Yingchun turned around and went straight outside. In a short time, Duan Yingchun led Tieniu, Duan Changqing, Duan Changhao, and Duan Changhong in.

The third grandpa looked at the four people and said: "Just now Wuji told me that next year your brothers Wuji will go to the prairie to sell horses. I have made a decision just now, and our family will also get a small share." .

If the three of you guys want to get ahead, then you should go with your brother Wuji.

Just now your brother has expressed his position, he doesn't want incompetent people with no skills, you three boys have to practice hard. "

Tieniu heard this and said: "Brother Wuji, brother, can I join you in a small stock too?"

Duan Wuji laughed and said: "Why not? Brother, I'm going to Chai Mansion tomorrow, you can go with me."

Tie Niu laughed when he heard this.

"Okay, I know what's going on, brother, you can't forget me, okay, let's go there together tomorrow."

Duan Wuji looked at Duan Changqing and the others and said: "Three elder brothers, if you don't have certain skills, you can't go anywhere. If you want to stand out, you must work hard. Only by suffering and suffering can you become a master.

When we go to the prairie this time, it’s okay if you don’t have good horse riding skills. If you don’t know how to ride a horse, it means you don’t have legs. If you go to the prairie, you will have to wait for death.

In addition, on the prairie, there are all Turkic people of that alien race. This tribe is very barbaric. life.

Three brothers, you must practice kung fu well! "

The three of them hurriedly said: "Brother Wuji, don't worry, we will work hard to practice martial arts, and we will never let you down when the time comes.

Hey, brother, when shall we go? "

Duan Wuji laughed and said: "Well, let's go after the new year, isn't there still three months left?"

The third grandpa said to Duan Yingchun: "Yingchun, tell the kitchen that each of these three boys will let them eat ten more eggs a day. Practicing martial arts consumes a lot of energy. If you eat less, you can't do it. You haven't seen Tieniu and the two of them." Well, everyone eats at least three people.

In addition, steam more dry food so that they can eat when they are hungry.Just say what I said. "

Duan Yingchun nodded.

The three of Duan Changqing were overjoyed when they heard this, and immediately ran out excitedly.

Duan Wuji said to Tieniu: "Brother, there is nothing to do today, you can go and guide them."

Tieniu agreed and turned around and walked out.

Grandpa Sanzu smiled and said: "Wuji, don't leave today, let's have lunch at Grandpa Sanzu's house, I will ask the kitchen to make some delicious food for you, it has been hard work for almost a year, Grandpa Sanzu hasn't invited you yet. I've had your meal.

Yingchun, go to the kitchen and tell them to cook more delicious dishes. Let's improve them at noon. "

Duan Wuji laughed and said: "Then I would like to thank Grandpa Sanzu, then I will eat at your house.

Grandpa Sanzu, please be busy, let me see how they practice martial arts. "

After finishing speaking, Duan Wuji walked out from the main room.

Duan Wuji came to the nearby yard, and saw that Tieniu was teaching them how to practice martial arts hand in hand, and several of them were sweating from exhaustion.

Duan Wuji nodded his head when he saw it, and said in his heart: "Okay, isn't this a good practice!"

When Tieniu saw Duan Wuji walking in, he quickly said with a smile: "Look, our martial arts leader is here, let him guide you, his kung fu is much better than mine."

Duan Wuji was also polite, and guided them one by one where they did not do well in martial arts.

It wasn't until Duan Yingchun called them to eat that everyone dispersed happily.
