Lord: Start with a book of Water Margin

Chapter 92 Golden Melon Seeds

Everyone was sitting under the big tree, and Bao Xu said, "I have never seen gold mining like this before. This goose is really a treasure."

Everyone laughed after hearing this. Song Wan was a sincere person and said after hearing this: "Brother, don't dislike it. I smelled it last time. It doesn't stink. It's golden and makes people happy."

Zhao Zhen said: "Brother, if you like it, I will give you ten when I go back and enjoy it yourself."

After hearing this, Song Wan said coyly: "Master of the village, I haven't made any achievements since I came to the village. I treat you with good wine and good food every day. How dare you ask for anything else?"

Zhao Zhen said: "The loyalty between you and me is worth nothing to just a few playthings. After a while, we will melt more and give each brother ten as a reward."

Everyone was happy after hearing this. Yang Lin heard this and said: "Everyone in the world said that the owner of the village despises wealth and values ​​righteousness. The rumors are true. He is really the best in the world. It is not in vain to get to know such a good man as a high official!"

Bao Xu laughed and said, "Thanks to Brother Jiao Ting's introduction, now I just practice martial arts and train sergeants every day. Eat meat with big mouthfuls, drink from big bowls, and be quick, quick bets."

Zhao Zhen said: "Yes, it was still a village at that time, and it was a time when there were few soldiers and generals. First there were Guanghui, Jiao Ting, and Han Bolong. Later, because they remembered their brothers, they sent messages at the banquet. Many more brothers came one after another, and then There is now a prosperous situation.

A few days ago, King Chao Tian also recommended a hero from Anle Village in Huangnigang. He was called White Rat Bai Sheng. He also had martial arts skills and could be used for reporting secrets and exploring fog. I just waited for the Shi Qian brothers to come back from their business in Fucheng and go to Nanluo County to invite Bai Sheng to come and get together. "

Everyone laughed and chatted for a while. Yang Lin heard this and thought about it: "The owner of the village is so benevolent and righteous. I have been to Nanluo County and walked through Huangnigang many times. There are many capable men in the village, but he can't show it." I'll come. If I don't go for a trip, it will still be a credit to some extent. When the time comes, I will recommend two more people to show my ability."

With this, Yang Lin said: "Master, I have been involved in rivers and lakes many times, and I am familiar with Hebei and Shandong. Huangnigang was also very noisy in the past few days. I have been to this place many times. Now there are people under the post. This restaurant is called Jiuhai Huajia, and the shopkeeper is called Hua Yue. Although he is not from the world, he is well informed. I am willing to go to Huangnigang and invite Bai Sheng. We can set off tomorrow."

Zhao Zhen said: "Brother Yang Lin has been tired all the way, eating and sleeping in the open air. He just arrived yesterday. How can I bear to be so tired?"

Yang Lin said: "Master, my brother is here for the first time, and he wants to make some efforts and get some credit." Yang Lin requested again and again, and Zhao Zhen agreed.

Zhao Zhen asked: "Brother, do you need me to accompany you?"

Yang Lin said: "There is no need to accompany you. Huangnigang is more than a hundred miles away and can be reached in less than two days by riding a horse on a misty path. If it goes smoothly, five days of round trip is enough."

Zhao Zhen nodded and decided to wait until tomorrow to send Yang Lin out.

Everyone chatted some more gossip about the activities in the arena. Bao Xu and Song Wan, one of them had fallen into disgrace early, the other had never been around in the arena, and had less experience in the arena than Yang Lin.

Just listen to Yang Lin say: "Brothers, we who are traveling in rivers and lakes cannot avoid climbing mountains and wading in rivers, and passing through the capital and Chongzhou. As long as merchants are on the road, they have to rest in the morning and evening. There are two things they cannot avoid: eating leprosy bowls and sleeping on the bed of the dead."

Zhao Zhen asked: "What do you mean by this?"

Yang Lindao: "As the saying goes, a poor family has a rich life, but when you go out, you don't feel like you are at home. All expenses must be paid for. People who leave their hometown are not just talking about being cheap. They all succumb to reality and keep everything simple, so the food and housing conditions are naturally poor. . You may touch unclean bowls or dirty beds." Unconsciously, the red sun was setting in the west and the weather was getting cooler. Zhao Zhen and others bid farewell to Bao Xu and Tang Sen and rode back to the village.

Zhao Yuanli had already arranged for wine, food, fruits, lake delicacies, and game to be placed on the table. When the three of them entered the East Garden, Guang Hui and Chao Gai were already waiting here. After the ceremony, everyone sat down.

Zhao Zhen said: "Today I come to celebrate the coming of brothers Yang Lin and Song Wan. Let's drink three cups first."

Everyone raised their glasses and drank three glasses together. Zhao Zhen spoke again: "Brother Song Wan has land skills, so he first served as a patrol inspector in the countryside and led people to inspect the border every day. Brother Yang Lin is good at horse fighting, and also Make an inspection, and when Bai Sheng is invited, we will select people and horses in the countryside, train a team of horse troops, and send out sentries from afar to explore the fog."

Yang Lin and Song Wan heard this and thanked Zhao Zhen.

Just as he was talking, Zhao Yuanli came forward, handed Zhao Zhen a box, and said: "Master, the boxwood box is ready and will be presented today. The gold sand brought back by the owner today was also melted, and the golden melon seeds were cast. 80 pills, all in the box."

Zhao Zhen took it, held it in his hand, looked at it, and said, "It's well done." After saying that, he asked Zhao Yuanli to find a few small bags, grabbed a handful of golden melon seeds from the box, counted 40 seeds, and divided them into four bags. After pretending, he handed it to Guanghui, Chao Gai, Yang Lin and Song Wan at the table.

Zhao Zhen said: "All the brothers are also lucky. Each of them has ten pills." Several people did not refuse and took it with a smile.

Zhao Zhen handed the box to Zhao Yuanli and said, "Yuanli, please arrange it. Each of the chiefs and deputy chiefs will give ten golden melon seeds, and the village chief, deputy village chief, and each workshop manager will each give three grains."

After that, the rest was packed up and put in the Angelica dahurica for temporary storage. In the future, whenever a good man comes to vote, it will be the same as the four-tailed carp, and it will be a common practice. Then arrange for people to go to Kushu Tun every two days to fetch gold sand and go to the blacksmith shop to smelt gold melon seeds for use. "

Zhao Yuanli listened and nodded in agreement.

Zhao Zhen said: "Brothers, I heard from the chef that the wine we drank today was made by Zhong Rang and his son in the village brewery. Try it and give us your opinions. I was also looking for the secret brewing recipe in the main world, and I found it later. Once brewed, you can compare them.”

Yang Lin had to leave early tomorrow and had three or five glasses of wine with everyone. He apologized and said: "Brothers, I have a business trip tomorrow, so I won't be with you today. He asked for steamed buns from the kitchen and put them on the table. Serve the food and eat once." Then he got up and went to rest.

Zhao Zhen and the other three drank another five or seven cups and then dispersed. Song Wan rested in the East Garden, Chao Gai and Guang Hui returned to Baita Temple, and Zhao Zhen went to Bai Zhi's house to rest.

Bai Zhi came back from the medical clinic today. When she opened the door and entered the house, she saw the pile of clothes on the bed and inevitably put them on again. I tried two outer garments: a turquoise blue ten-piece brocade skirt, a green flash red satin blouse, and other small clothes.

Bai Zhifei is the one who is greedy for vanity. Since she became Zhao Zhen's concubine, although her head is not full of pearls and her body is covered with gold and jade, she is also covered with silk and satin. Today she specially dressed up. As expected, she is: the beauty in the golden house leaves the imperial garden, Rui Pearl Fairy comes to earth.

As the saying goes, tea is the matchmaker, and wine is the matchmaker. Now Zhao Zhen also had three drinks, and Bai Zhi dressed up specially. Before the two of them said a few words, Zhao Zhen carried Bai Zhi to the bed, took off his clothes, and slept together.
