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

Chapter 956 940 Five: Two people visit Gao Laozhuang ([-])
When Hou Guantang heard what his daughter-in-law said, he was also very angry!

"I said Third Sister Liu, look at what you just said!
Your third brother-in-law and the others eat a lot, but they never come empty-handed every time they come to our house.

Every time your third brother-in-law comes, he brings money to our family. When he first came to our house, you laughed at him for eating too much?
This is too outrageous.

People eat a lot, which means they are blessed.

So what if you eat less?

Don't you eat this thing every day?
I can tell you that your third brother-in-law is the sweetheart of our old couple.

This Duan Wuji is the matchmaker who told your third sister to others. If there is no matchmaker, can your third sister marry such a good family?
I can tell you that if someone doesn't have enough to eat today, I can't forgive you from my point of view. "

Duan Wuji looked at it and scratched his head, thinking, "I can't eat An Ding even after eating a meal, why did this family get into trouble after talking about it?"

Tieniu smiled and said, "Stop arguing, okay?

Our two brothers came to see you. I didn't expect such a result. You still let us two brothers eat or not?

If you still let us brothers eat, then stop arguing.

If you continue to quarrel, then our brothers will leave immediately. "

When the whole family heard what Tieniu said, they all fell silent.

Duan Wuji and Tie Niu don't take this seriously, they'll wait until they're full!

After the two of them had their fill of food, Duan Wuji said with a smile: "Oh! I said Hongsheng's daughter-in-law, how old is that old Zhu of your natal family!"

"He's not very old, he looks like he's only going out in his twenties!"

When Duan Wuji changed the subject, the whole family let out a long sigh of relief.

What Liu Sanjie sang just now was too embarrassing.

Duan Wuji looked at Liu Sanjie and asked: "Hey! I said Liu Sanjie.

Is that guy surnamed Zhu really more edible than the two of us? "

"Who said it wasn't? That kid is a big-bellied man. He eats twenty steamed buns and eight bowls of porridge for a meal.

This kid can eat and sleep, and he has a good heart, but he doesn't have any family property, or he will be a door-to-door son-in-law.

This kid is really strong!Others do the work of one person, but he can do the work of seven or eight people by himself. "

Duan Wuji laughed and said: "Isn't it good to be able to eat and be able to do something? Why does the family think that they eat too much?

Can you work without eating?
It is said that no family cherishes money, and a bachelor cherishes life. It seems that this statement is not false at all.

Did this kid drive away? "

Third Sister Liu shook her head with a smile.

"Then Lao Zhu has nowhere to go, so he refuses to leave.

This old Zhu said that he bought the property of Mrs. Gao's family. If he wanted to drive him away, he would have to take half of the property no matter what.

How could Mr. Gao be willing to give up those properties?

Therefore, Lao Zhu is also shameless in other people's homes.

His wife, Gao Cuilan, was also unwilling to let him go. Once that old Zhu left, wouldn't he be a widow?
The old couple scolded their daughter when they saw her, calling her a shameless loser.

Scolding Lao Zhu for being too thick-skinned, eating and drinking for nothing at their house.

This incident has become a joke in our ten miles and eight villages.

When it comes to this kid surnamed Zhu, who in the world doesn't know? "

After hearing this, Duan Wuji asked with a smile: "Then what's the name of this kid surnamed Zhu? Can you tell me?"

"There's nothing wrong with that! Let me tell you! This kid surnamed Zhu is Zhu Bazi.

He can be regarded as a hero in our area!

It's a pity that his life is not good, he is excluded at home, and his father-in-law and mother-in-law don't give him good looks every day.

Why!Speaking of which, this is also a poor man! "

Hou Hongsheng grabbed his wife with his hand.

"Can you say a few less words? You can't stop talking nonsense."

Duan Wuji's face sank when he heard this.

"I said Hou Hongsheng, are you talking about your wife? Are you talking about me, Duan Wuji?
What is nonsense?When I asked her something, you said she was talking nonsense, isn't it right for her to keep silent? "

He slapped the table angrily.

"I said Hou Hongsheng, we two brothers came to your house today, why are we so unlucky!

At first your wife said that our brother and I eat a lot, but now that my brother inquired about something, you came out to stop me.

what do you mean?

If you don't want us to come in the future, then I will never visit your house again in my life. "

When Hou Hongsheng saw that his third brother-in-law also lost his temper, he was really frightened.

"I said third brother-in-law, don't be angry with me.

I don't mean anything else, I just think my wife talks too much nonsense. "

Hou Guantang glared at his son fiercely and said, "Your brother Wuji, if you inquire about it, just inquire about it!

What's the matter!People just listen to it as a joke.

You have to know that the two of them are not from our local area.

What are people afraid of when they hear about the weird things in this place? "

When Hou Hongsheng heard what his father said, he had no choice but to step aside and not make a sound.

Tie Niu said with a smile: "I said brother, you are full of food and drink, what are you doing asking about these things?"

Duan Wuji laughed when he heard this.

"Brother Tieniu, have you forgotten the purpose of our coming out?

Didn't our two brothers find someone to come out?

This Zhu Bazi is not welcome at home, we two brothers will look for him tomorrow, this man is capable, I think if he goes to learn Buddhist scriptures with the holy monk, he is definitely a good candidate. "

Tie Niu laughed out loud.

"I said brother, you are really dedicated! Come to my old man's house for a kiss, you are still thinking about this matter.

Well, then tomorrow we brothers will go.

I said Hongsheng!Then you and your wife will lead us there!We two brothers met this surnamed Zhu.

My brothers and I will find him an errand, so that there will be no conflicts between them as husband and wife. "

Hou Hongsheng listened and nodded.

"Alright then! Then we will lead you there tomorrow morning, and you two will go see him!
I don't know this kid. If I want to know him, I don't need my wife to lead you there. "

Hou Guantang laughed and said, "I mean Third Sister! Go back to your mother's house tomorrow, you can take two pieces of cloth with you!

Let my in-laws also make two good clothes to wear, so that they are more decent! "

"Thank you dad! They haven't even seen such a good fabric before! They will definitely show our parents face when they take it back!"

Everyone chatted for a while and then dispersed. Hou Hongsheng and his father led Duan Wuji's horse and Tie Niu's horse out to graze the horses.

The next morning, Duan Wuji and the others had breakfast, Liu Sanjie was riding a donkey, Hou Hongsheng was leading the animals, Duan Wuji and Tieniu followed behind on horseback, and rushed straight to Gao Laozhuang.

This Gaolaozhuang is in the northeast direction of Houjiazhuang, and it is also a small mountain village in a mountain depression.

The village is not too big, it only looks like more than 200 households!There are some farmlands around this mountain village, and it can be regarded as a relatively wealthy small mountain village.

After arriving in the village, Third Sister Liu said to Duan Wuji and the others: "You guys stay at my natal home for a while!"

I'll go find Zhu Bazi for you, Hou Hongsheng led the donkey, and Liu Sanjie jumped off the donkey's back, then turned around and ran straight to the east of the village.

Hou Hongsheng said with a smile: "Third brother-in-law, Brother Wuji, let's go, follow me to my boss's house to rest for a while!
I believe my wife will find Zhu Bazi after a while. "

Tie Niu laughed and said, "We Brother Wuji, I really didn't expect that the two of us would have a kiss again."

Tieniu said to Hou Hongsheng: "Hurry up and lead the way. If you don't lead the two of us, we will know which one is your old man!"

Hou Hongsheng led at the front, Tie Niu and Duan Wuji followed, and walked straight to a family at the north end of the village.

The courtyard wall of this family is made of soil, and it is about half the height of a person. The gate of the courtyard is an old fence.

You don't need to look inside to know that this is a poor peasant family.

Hou Hongsheng jumped off the donkey, moved the fence away without saying hello, and walked in directly leading the donkey.

Afterwards, Duan Wuji and Tie Niu led the horses and followed.

Duan Wuji looked into the yard, and saw that the small yard is not big, probably only about the number of acres.

On the west side of the yard, there are five or six chickens surrounded by a fence. On the west side of the yard, several vegetables are planted, and there is a road in the middle.

Duan Wuji and the others tied their animals to the trees respectively.

Hou Hongsheng smiled at the two of them.

"Come on, follow me into the house.

father!mother!are you at home?The couple of us came to visit your old man. "

"Who is it? Is it Hongsheng!"

Following the voices in the room, an old couple in their 50s came out of the room!
"Oh, I said Hongsheng! Why are you free today?

Who are those two people?Look at the clothes they wear, they look good. "

Hou Hongsheng grinned when he heard this.

"The older one here is my third brother-in-law.

His name is Duan Tieniu, and he is a senior official in our imperial court.

That pretty guy standing next to him is his uncle and brother.

His name is Duan Wuji!
Is this Wuji's official position greater than that of my third brother-in-law?

Everyone is a person with status and face! "

"Oh! This is your third brother-in-law who is a high-ranking official that you often mentioned to us!

It's good that there is someone who is such a high-ranking official in this family.

Look at the man riding on that tall horse, how majestic it is!

Alas, I said Hongsheng.

Didn't my girl come with you? "

Hou Hongsheng laughed and said, "She's back."

"Then why didn't you see her? Where did she go?"

"Isn't there a man named Zhu Bazi in your village?
The third sister went to find him. "

"Why are you looking for him!"

"It's not us looking for him, it's my third brother-in-law and his brothers who are looking for him, doesn't the third sister know that Zhu Bazi?

I asked my third sister to call him. "

"Is there anything you can do with him? That boy is pitiful enough to say it, he finally became a door-to-door son-in-law, but his father-in-law and his wife think he eats too much, so they must drive him away!

This kid has no family and no job, alas, it is pitiful enough.

Once he is kicked out by Lao Gao's family, where do you think he will go in the future? "

A few people were chatting, and then Sanjie Liu came in from the outside, followed by a big black man.

This person looks like he is in his twenties, and he was born with a big and three rough, and he looks like an honest and responsible person.

Third Sister Liu smiled and said, "I said Third Brother-in-law, I found this Bazi Zhu for you.

Let's talk about it in detail.

Mother!Look at my daughter, what good things have I brought you?

You will love it very much.

Come on, let's talk in the house girls!
It's not good for us to listen to people talking about business here. "

The whole family turned around and went back to the house, only Duan Wuji, Tie Niu and Zhu Bazi were left in the yard.

Then Hou Hongsheng followed his wife into the house.

Duan Wuji saw that this kid had a lot of stupid strength, as the saying goes, strength is not a loss!

Duan Wuji smiled and said: "I'm talking about Zhu Bazi, I am the Prince Xiaoyao in the court, this is my brother, his name is Duan Tieniu, he is also a high official in the court.

This time, I followed my brother for a walk and kiss. I heard what happened to you, and we two brothers express our deep sympathy.

Your father-in-law and the others are too worthless. Just because they think you eat too much, they have to drive you away. This is too inhumane!
In my opinion, there is really no way for you to stay in that home!
People think you eat too much, what can you do?

With a body as strong as yours, if you eat less, you may not be able to bear it. "

When Zhubazi heard this, tears fell.

"Okay, Lao Zhu is blind, and I met such a family of rascals. I work for their family from dawn to dusk. I cultivate the land. Every day, let me carry water, hold firewood, make ditches, and build houses for their family. Is it okay?" It is easy to earn this family business.

His grandma's, but now he thinks I eat too much, do I have the energy to work if I don't eat too much?

Those two old bastards are really heartless!

If I hadn't been thinking about my wife's words, I would have passed away long ago. "

As soon as he said this, Zhu Bazi was stunned again.

"I eat so much, even if I go to work as a long-term worker, people don't want me!

I alone eat at least five people's meals. If the **** leaves their kennel, it's really his grandma who can't find food to eat.

If I could have found something to eat, I'd be gone. "

Duan Wuji said hehe: "I said Zhu Bazi, do you know martial arts?"

Zhu Bazi laughed and said: "When I was a teenager, I learned kung fu from a martial artist for two years, and then I missed it for a while. When practicing martial arts, I beat my master until he vomited blood.

When my teacher got angry, he threw me away.

In addition to working these years, I have also practiced boxing and kicking, but that thing can't be eaten, it seems that I have been a little flustered these years.

I said my lord, why are you asking this? "

Duan Wuji laughed when he heard this.

"I said Zhu Bazi, your luck has come, the emperor is looking for someone to accompany the holy monk to the west, and we are the ones looking for someone!

If you are willing to go west with the holy monk, what's the problem with eating and drinking?

After you come back from learning scriptures, maybe your old father-in-law and mother-in-law have already gone west of Hexi.

When the time comes, when your husband and wife are reunited again, look at how wonderful it will be!

After you come back from learning the scriptures, the emperor will definitely reward you, and when you get a half-time official, that is, if your wife is married, are you afraid that you will not find a daughter-in-law? "
