Lord: Start with a book of Water Margin

Chapter 42 Marriage Proposal
  Sun Zheng, Li Gu, and Brother Yun retreated. Zhao Zhen looked at the gifts sent by the three and was about to open them. Seeing Zhao Yuanli come to the hall, he hesitated and said: "Master of the village, I went to deliver the spirit fish yesterday. The Bai family intends to promise the girl Bai Zhi to the master of the village. Today the elder of the Bai family has sent a Geng Tie."

Zhao Zhen couldn't help being stunned and said: "This matter..."

Zhao Yuanli hurriedly interrupted: "Master, I was too hasty in this matter. I never thought that the Bai family is also impatient."

He immediately explained the reason. He saw Zhao Zhen meeting the four members of the Bai family for the first time. He stared at Bai Zhi when he left, and paid much attention to them when they met in the courtyard later. Taking advantage of the opportunity of sending the spiritual fish last night, I deliberately said it was for Bai Zhi to test the Bai family. I didn't expect that the Bai family would send Geng Tie today.

Zhao Zhen stared at Zhao Yuanli. Zhao Yuanli looked horrified and then said: "It's just nonsense. I won't do it next time. Although this matter is a misunderstanding, it is difficult to refuse now. Since you caused it, you will handle the rest. Fifteen A few days ago, I will go back to the main world and prepare all three books and six etiquette."

Zhao Yuanli nodded quickly and went to discuss with the Bai family.

Marrying a good concubine is not just about marrying a wife. It is not necessary to have all three books and six etiquettes. This good concubine is usually a girl from a good family. Most of them come from farming and studying families. They may be in love or in poverty. It was also made into a sedan chair and passed through the gate, and it was carried in in a formal manner. If the three books and six etiquette are complete, the status of a good concubine will be higher after entering the house.

Seeing Zhao Yuanli retreat, Zhao Zhen picked up the gifts from Sun Zheng, Li Gu and Brother Yun on the table and opened them one by one.

Brother Yun gave me a bag of seeds.
  world log
  Snow pear seeds (the flesh is as white as jade and as frosty as snow, so it is called snow pear. These are leftover from picking snow pears in the fields of Yunge Mountain. Plant them on a sunny place on the hillside to get a snow pear tree.)
  It bears fruit in three years and is a good fruit for promoting body fluids and quenching thirst.

What Li Gu brought was a bone sculpture

world log
  Peony picture (special product - bone carving, steaming, sterilization, degreasing, drying, bone selection, rubbing, cutting, edge trimming, rough carving and fine carving, water grinding, bleaching, coloring, polishing, assembly, etc. A few steps to make a peony bone sculpture)
  Effect 1: Placed in the hall, elegant and luxurious +. (Peony has nine colors and ten categories, dignified and gorgeous posture, good luck and wealth, and is the king of flowers.)
  Special traits are generated, luck +5.

Hiss, the special product has taken shape. Although the only bone carving craftsman is Li Gu, the others are apprentices and the output is not much. Now that Li Gu has taken up his job and become a hero, he is slowly being trained and his output is slowly increasing.

Although it is more expensive than the special four-tailed carp, the output can be controlled. There is a huge difference from catching the four-tailed carp by luck. Although the elegance and splendor +1 is a little worse than the Physique +1 of the four-bearded carp, for high-ranking officials, the beautiful and fragrant peony, with its elegance and splendor, must be very popular.

The main material is cow bone, which turns decay into magic. According to the small items, it takes half a month, and I can make two pieces in one month. I price it at 50 guan, and I am not afraid that no one will want the treasure with added attributes. Li Gu's salary was only three per month. The material is not yet worth it. This is a sure-fire deal.

The piece I have in my hand is about one foot in diameter, like a round fan, carefully crafted, and shows a lifelike peony in full bloom.

Finally, I opened the box sent by Sun Zheng. Inside was a stone as big as a fist.

world log
  Bahrain colored stone (first-level stone, the stone is divided into chicken blood stone, lucky yellow stone, frozen stone, colored stone and pattern stone. This stone is opaque, red and white, and is a colored stone)

After reading it, Zhao Zhen called two villagers and sent a bag of snow pear seeds to Dingchou of the Dead Tree Village to arrange breeding and open up terraces for transplantation.

Zhao Zhen picked up the peony bone sculpture and placed it in the main hall. Then he took the Bahrain colored stone and went to Dongkuayuan to find Guanghui.

Today, most of the villagers went with the steward to help arrange for new villagers, and the remaining few were practicing martial arts in the courtyard. Bao Xu went to Kushu Tun, Jiao Ting led people to inspect the border early in the morning, and Han Bolong went to the tavern. Only Guang Hui, San Ruan and the newly arrived Tao Zongwang were left in the courtyard. When Zhao Zhen came, the five heroes were under the shade of the trees in the courtyard. Competing in martial arts, the two made forks with knives, but saw:
  One wields two iron swords made of snowflakes. The two swords fly up and down, criss-crossing left and right, and a ball of silver light appears. He can chop, chop, lift, hang, and stab. His moves are flexible and changeable. His body moves quickly, his strength is fast and as straight as a sword. The sheathed sword roared with momentum.

One uses a three-pronged steel fork, and a steel fork is turned with him, rolled and smashed into one piece, and smashed with a stick, leaping in and out with him, lying on the bottom tightly, swallows fly together, and smashing the knees with his hands. At the same time, Ruan Xiaowu is majestic and powerful, like a fierce tiger attacking, blocking, picking, collapsing, smashing, rolling, moving, pounding and rubbing, showing his fierce and domineering attitude.

For a time, Guang Hui, who was in the third level, relied on his exquisite moves to compete with Ruan Xiaowu, who had just entered the fourth level. Ruan Xiaowu is strong, Guang Hui is weak, but his moves are exquisite.

After fighting for more than thirty rounds, Guanghui was finally at a lower level and gradually lost his strength. He shouted: "Stop resting." Tuodi jumped out of the circle.

"But the Sa family lost. The three heroes of the Ruan family are worthy of their reputation. The brothers are indeed very powerful." Guang Hui said. Ruan Xiaowu also gasped twice and said: "I have never met someone who is famous. The master is good at martial arts."

After saying that, everyone laughed.

Seeing Zhao Zhen coming over and seeing the ceremony, they all sat down under the tree. Zhao Zhen said: "Brother Guanghui, the former asked you to engrave a seal. I don't know what happened?"

Guang Hui said: "Master, please wait a moment." He got up and went back to his room. After a while, a wooden box came out. He sat down, handed it to Zhao Zhen, and said, "Master, please take a look."

  Zhao Zhen's seal (a first-level treasure, carved from third-level bluestone, two inches square, with Zhao Zhen's flower characters engraved on the bottom and a turtle button on top)
  Effect 1: With trust, official documents are signed with trust, and it is written with the name, which is not easy to imitate.

After Zhao Zhen looked at it, he thanked Guang Hui, took out the Bahrain colored stone from his arms, and handed it to Guang Hui: "I got a piece of Bahrain colored stone today. Brother Guanghui, take a look. Maybe you can carve something?"

Guanghui took it in his hand, looked at it and said, "This stone is red and white and is opaque. It is about the size of a fist and can be used to carve a peach-shaped ornament."

Zhao Zhen said: "Brother Guanghui makes the decision."

After talking about the matter, everyone started chatting. Ruan Xiaoqi said: "Master, we have had enough rest. We are thinking of going fishing in the lake with Manager Zhusha tomorrow."

Zhao Zhen shook his head and said, "It's not urgent."

He immediately told the Bai family about Zhao Yuanli's plan to marry Bai Zhi as a concubine without telling him. Everyone was happy after hearing this and congratulated Zhao Zhen.

Ruan Xiaoqi asked: "I wonder when the ceremony will be held?"

Zhao Zhen said: "It's only for these three or two days, brothers, please rest assured. We will be competing with some guns and sticks in the village these days."

Ruan Xiaoqi nodded but said nothing.

When the chat reached the end of the day, Zhao Zhen asked him to set up wine under the willow tree, and ate wine with the eight heroes, and then dispersed at midnight.

But after the banquet broke up, Ruan Xiaoqi, Ruan Xiaoer, and Ruan Xiaowu said, "Now someone has entered the village master's house. Since we have entrusted ourselves to the village master, why don't we prepare some gifts for him?"

Ruan Xiaowu tugged on his clothes and said: "We are so poor, we don't have a few coins in our body. Even the clothes we wear are donated by the owner of the village. Where can we get the money to buy gifts?"

Ruan Xiaoqi said: "Fifth brother is so ignorant. He can't see the big lake without Nuo. There are all big fish in the lake. Aren't we waiting for gifts?"

Ruan Xiaoer said: "But what I'm saying is that in that case, tomorrow at five o'clock, pack up and go, bring two days of dry food, and after I leave, let my little monkey come to the village tomorrow to report."

The three of them had decided on their plan and went to sleep.
