Chapter 178 Coach Zhang

After deciding the life and death of this medicinal snake, Bai Duo said: "Xian son-in-law, I have been raising this medicinal snake for some time. From the current point of view, raising a medicinal snake may have something to do with the snake's qualifications. The same wave of snakes, Except for this one, there are only two that are red on the body, and I’m afraid the others won’t make it.”

Although Zhao Zhen had also read "The Secret Record of Snake Making", he did not study it in depth. Seeing what Bai Duo said, he continued the conversation and asked: "My dear, should we throw away these vipers that cannot be raised?"

Bai Duo nodded and said: "Yes, firstly, it can save some medicinal materials. Secondly, after feeding a lot of medicinal materials, these vipers can prepare medicinal materials."

Zhao Zhen had no objection to this and let Bai Duo handle it on his own.

Zhao Zhen then said: "My dear, I wonder when my eldest brother's wedding is scheduled?"

Bai Duo smiled and said: "Five days later, on the second day of October, the horse will rush to the south. The white tiger is in charge of the gods. The official day, Tianma, and auspicious period are suitable for marriage and alliance."

After hearing this, Zhao Zhen said: "My dear, Luan Tingyu and Jiao Ting in the county are also going to get married. I didn't want to celebrate when I came back from the war, so I took advantage of the wedding banquet of these two heroes to celebrate. The banquet was arranged by the village. What do you think of the one-day flowing banquet at Baishi Valley School Ground?"

Bai Duo glanced at his wife, and Bai Li said, "It depends on what I do. If my virtuous son-in-law wants to take care of things together, it's fine. I don't have many real relatives in the Bai family and the Zhong family, so it's just a fun time together."

Zhao Zhen said: "My dear, I still have to urge my uncle to come back as soon as possible in the past few days and prepare to welcome him in person. I have got three new ebony, gilt, and vermilion lacquered melon and cotton canopy beds here. I will ask Zhao Yuanli to send one later. open."

It was already time to apply for the license. Zhao Zhen said goodbye to Bai Duo and his wife and asked Bai Zhi, "Madam, do you want to go back with me?"

After hearing this, Zhao Zhen said: "Don't worry, mother-in-law. Before I go out today, the eldest lady has sent someone to choose two pieces of colored satin, a set of gold ornaments, two beds with fine and colorful double mandarin duck bedding, and two handfuls of gold and silver melon seeds. I think they have been sent to Zhong now. At home."

Bai Li scolded: "Even though I am ten years younger than you, you can still call me sister." As he said this, he also laughed.

A few people were chatting about home affairs when Zhang Qi came into the room and said to Zhao Zhen: "Master of the village, the manager of the village, Zhao Yuanli, sent someone to tell the master that the hero Bai Sheng is back."

Bai Zhi listened and said with a smile: "Guardian, the Zhong family sister is two years younger than me. I never thought that I would call her sister-in-law in the future. Let's see if she dares to respond next time we meet."

Zhao Zhen couldn't help but be overjoyed after hearing this and said: "Let's go back to the village."

Bai Li said: "It's best, my virtuous son-in-law, that the Zhong family's father and son will work for you to make wine and vinegar. The second son Zhong Lin has now become a hero-level soldier, and you intend to let him be a bodyguard like Zhao Ji and Zhang Qi." I need to take this opportunity to give you some gifts and try to win over you."

Bai Zhi looked up and looked outside and said, "Ms. sir, there are not many patients today. I will go back with the officials."

After saying that, he cleaned up and called Jin Cuilian. The two took a carriage and followed Zhao Zhen back to Zhuangzi.

Bai Zhi and the two went to their mountain residence to rest. Zhao Zhen hurriedly entered the meeting hall and saw Bai Sheng, Zhang San and Li Si talking with a strong man who was nearly fifty years old. Sitting below him was a woman wearing a gauze hat. They met, and behind them was a maid dressed like a maid. When everyone saw Zhao Zhen, they all stood up and saluted. After seeing the ceremony, Zhao Zhen asked everyone to sit down. Zhao Yuanli sent someone up to change the tea. Zhao Zhen asked: "Brother Bai Sheng, haven't you found Coach Lin?"

Bai Sheng stood up and said: "Master, we heard about Coach Lin from Cangzhou and traveled to Bianjing City at starry night. Brothers Zhang, Li and Si sneaked into the city and quietly inquired about it. They did not find Coach Lin, but saw a general manager next to Coach Zhang's house. There are a few strange people wandering around.”

"The three of us discussed it. Since I am not from the capital, no one here knew me. I pretended to be a beggar and begged all the way. At dusk, when these people were relaxing after eating, I happened to go to the home of Teacher Zhang to beg and secretly handed over a note. , Prepare to explain the reason. Make a secret appointment with Teacher Zhang in the vegetable garden of Daxiangguo Temple."

Zhang Sandao: "I followed Master Zhishen in the old days, and I also met Coach Zhang, so I recognized him. We have told you that we are hanging out with the owner of the village now, and what Coach Lin committed in Cangzhou has now been spread to Tokyo. There is always someone watching around Coach Zhang." , and Huahua Taisui often disturbed us, so we made a plan to leave Bianjing first. "

After hearing this, Coach Zhang stood up and bowed his hands in salute: "Master, in the past few days, I have been walking around the country and asked about the whereabouts of my son-in-law, but there is no news at all. Although there are rumors in the world that he burned down the forage farm, killed the officials and is on the run, it's just that No one has ever mentioned his whereabouts, so I had to come here to seek refuge with the owner of the village, hoping that he would take care of him."

After saying that, he leaned down to salute again, and the subordinate Zhang Zhenniang also stood up and bowed down. Zhao Zhen quickly helped Coach Zhang and said: "Master, I have heard of Coach Lin's name in the world, why are you so polite? Coach Zhang just stays here. , I dare not say that this kid can still make the decision in this Liangshan area. I will slowly visit the whereabouts of Coach Lin later and let the two of them get together."

Instructor Zhang and the others stood up and thanked them, and said: "Master, I left in a hurry, so I only brought some soft goods with me. From now on, I will live with the master and make a living. The old man has spent half his life teaching the Forbidden Army's guns. Damn, I heard that there are many village sergeants here, old and shameless, asking for a job as a teacher to exchange for some money. If there is a war in the fog, the old man will go to the battlefield with his pistol. "

Zhao Zhen was overjoyed and said: "I don't dare to expect the instructor to condescend. I have many good men here who can fight, but I lack those who can teach and train soldiers. If the instructor is willing, I can ask the instructor to find a spear and stick instructor in the village. If the coach has flaws, the army will always look after him."

After hearing this, Zhang Zhenniang also said: "Dad, my daughter can also make a living doing tailoring and embroidery, so why should she go to the battlefield?"

Instructor Zhang said: "My son, my father was half-employed in the official family of the Song Dynasty. Unfortunately, he was just a small instructor and an unworthy military officer. If he could have been on the battlefield and held an official position in his early years, how could he be like this?" Bully."

Everyone was speechless. Huahua Taisui, Gao Qiu's son, relied on his power in Tokyo and loved the wives and daughters of others, but he had never heard of any official woman being forced by him.

Seeing that she couldn't persuade her, Zhang Zhenniang sighed and sat back. Upon seeing this, Zhao Zhen said to Zhang Zhenniang: "Don't worry, Madam Lin. Although the surrounding area is foggy, it is still relatively safe. There are twenty or thirty heroes in the county, and there are more than a thousand soldiers. The instructor can't easily go to the battlefield."

Zhao Zhenyou turned to Coach Zhang and said, "Coach, it's hard work coming from afar, so let's go down and rest first, and take care of the coach in the evening. In addition to the many small courtyards built next to the front school field for single heroes to live in, this village is close to the school field. There are many villagers, and it is always a bit noisy during the day when the villagers are working hard. There are also more than ten small courtyards built on the hillside that are vacant. How about Mr. Zhang staying here temporarily? "

"Firstly, it is convenient to coach Zhuang Ding every day. Secondly, my eldest wife is also good at female prostitution, so Mrs. Lin can keep company with my wife and talk to her every day without getting bored. If you feel inconvenient, you can also go to Xixi Village in the south. , there are also many newly built houses there, but the owners are vulgar, so it is inevitable that there will be some inconvenience. "

After hearing this, Coach Zhang was hesitating when Zhang Zhenniang said, "Dad, just live here. The scenery here is always beautiful, and no one will disturb you."

Instructor Zhang listened and nodded. Zhao Zhen called Zhao Yuanli and led Instructor Zhang and three others to choose a house on the hill.
