SPN Chapter 120 Five Treasure Vessels

Thinking about the bet, Jia Baoyu couldn't help sighing, what he said that day was light, but in all likelihood, he would lose! 5000 taels of silver is not a small sum.

Li Liang beside Jia Baoyu has been paying attention to Jia Baoyu's expression. Seeing Jia Baoyu's self-blaming expression, he knows that Jia Baoyu has remembered the bet. Li Liang said to Jia Baoyu apologetically: "I'm sorry. Baoyu, if it wasn’t for me, you wouldn’t need to bet with that Niu Jizong.”

After listening to Li Liang's words, Jia Baoyu came back to his thoughts, looked at Li Liang and said with a smile: "What are you talking about, if you have to look at other people's faces to see who you want to befriend, then what's the point of living?" Meaning, and I don't allow people to insult my friends."

"Thank you, Baoyu, if you lose..."[

Before Li Liang finished speaking, Jia Baoyu interrupted, "What are you talking about, I haven't lost yet."

Li Liang patted himself and said: "It's my fault, Baoyu, how could you lose, like that jumping clown like Niu Jizong, you can solve it with just a few strokes." After speaking, the two looked at each other and smiled twice. Voice.

They said they were just shopping, but Jia Baoyu and Li Liang also had a clear destination. Baoqizhai, these are several shops in the capital that are as famous as Yubaozhai, but the difference from Yubaozhai is that this shop specializes in all kinds of weapons. Yes, and they are all good, and the price is extremely fair. Of course, Huachao is not open to the point where weapons are sold at will. The sales of weapons here depends on the identity of each person, and they have to leave a name note. What kind of identity is it? There are strict regulations on what people can buy and what cannot be sold.

Jia Baoyu naturally belongs to the part that can be bought. The kung fu carriage stopped at Baoqizhai for about a quarter of an hour, and the two people from a distance paid attention to Baoqizhai. Instead, it was built in a relatively remote place, but the scale is very large. Jia Baoyu went down to look and found that there was actually an experimental field inside, and there were all kinds of weapons on the field.

Asking Yinquan and others to wait outside, Jia Baoyu and Li Liang brought Mingyan and Du'er in together. The experiment site was full of people who were trying swords or shooting targets. It was extremely lively. Jia Baoyu He was not interested at all, and walked inside with Li Liang alone.

As soon as the two of them entered, a man who looked like a boy greeted him, "What kind of weapons do you want to see, we have all the weapons that we have in Bao Qi Zhai, and some of the weapons that we don't have can also be custom-made , I guarantee that the two masters will be satisfied."

Jia Baoyu looked at a large courtyard, and he was afraid that all kinds of weapons were in different places, so he asked, "Which room sells bows?"

After hearing Jia Baoyu's words, the young man immediately said with a clear look: "It seems that this master is also here to prepare for Qiuwei, so he has come to the right place, because Qiuwei is close to our Baoqizhai. I have prepared a batch of bows specially used during the autumn encirclement, and the storage is of high quality and low price.”

Jia Baoyu was a little impatient listening to what people said. These receptionists always greeted customers blindly, but they couldn't get to the point. Now Mingyan was familiar with every expression of Jia Baoyu, Seeing Jia Baoyu's expression, he said impatiently: "Where did all these words come from? Our second master asked you where the bow sellers are, so you just take it with you."

The young man listened to the words, and led the four of them to a room on the east side. As the young man said, it was specially prepared for Qiuwei, because all the bows hanging here are extremely The gorgeous ones look very imposing, and some are inlaid with gold.

After entering the house, the shopkeeper of this room will receive the two of them, because there are other people, the shopkeeper said to the two of them: "Two guests, let's take a look first. If there is anything you like, just call me." After finishing speaking, after Jia Baoyu answered, he went to entertain a few other customers who were already promising.

Jia Baoyu looked at it for a while, and from time to time, he took out a bow that seemed to be OK and drew it, but he always returned disappointed.

Jia Baoyu doesn't know what kind of bow is good and what kind is bad, but he knows that a bow that he can pull up without even half of his strength can't be good, even though Jia Baoyu's strength is not strong now. It's small, but it doesn't make sense. The bow Jia Baoyu likes doesn't take much effort!

Jia Baoyu once experimented that if he used his internal strength, he could lift a one-hundred-jin object for a while, but lifting an object was different from drawing a bow. In other words, it is two or three knots, not even a stone, and Jia Baoyu didn't plan to use a bow that requires a lot of arm strength.

If Jia Baoyu went to the limit, he might not be able to use his own hands before the competition was over. Jia Baoyu didn't intend to find fault with himself, but he still needed forty to fifty catties of arm strength!But now the bows in this shop are basically the same as the bows that Jia Baoyu received from Jia Lan some time ago. This Jia Baoyu may even be able to shoot the target is also a problem.

Jia Baoyu looked around the whole room, but he still couldn't find a suitable bow. Li Liang found one that he was quite fond of, and he also helped Lin Xuan find one. The three of them had made an appointment before. Practice together, and there is a special place for archery in the Imperial College.

At this time, several other customers also bought things and left. At this time, there were only Jia Baoyu and Li Liang in the store. The shopkeeper of the store came to the two of them and asked, "Did the two young masters take care of it?"

Li Liang nodded and said, "Just wrap these two up for me." After finishing speaking, he asked Jia Baoyu, "What about you, Baoyu?"

Jia Baoyu looked at the shopkeeper and asked: "Shopkeeper, your bows here are so light, how did you use them during the autumn circle?"

Hearing Jia Baoyu's words, the shopkeeper smiled and said: "So it must be the first time for you to participate in the autumn round. During the autumn round, you don't just participate in the autumn round. Every family also has a follower. In fact, the young master As long as you shoot the arrows accurately and shoot the arrows on the prey, you are considered a master, and you can let your followers do the rest. Although these bows are weak, they are still lacking here. They don’t need strong arms, and they are easy to use. Mastering it, it is perfect for target shooting practice in autumn circles and on weekdays.”

Jia Baoyu was a little enlightened after hearing what the shopkeeper said. After working for a long time, the bows here are really tailor-made for those yamen. There are also a few of these masters who practice martial arts, but most of them are from families like Feng Ziying. The bow is not much stronger than the original Jia Baoyu, so it is natural not to use an overly heavy bow.

Thinking of this, Jia Baoyu took a bow that was valued before and said: "Is it okay to shoot targets with this bow?"

The shopkeeper nodded firmly and said: "Young master, don't worry, as long as it is a suitable arrow, the ordinary target is absolutely no problem, and this kind of bow is very good for beginners, and it is also helpful. technological advancement."

The shopkeeper Jia Baoyu couldn't help asking more questions when he talked about the improvement of his skills, "If I'm used to this light bow, I won't be inaccurate if I use a stronger bow then!"

After hearing this, the shopkeeper said: "I can't say whether I can shoot accurately, it is mainly a matter of adaptation, if it is not for the kind of person who can ride and shoot well, it will inevitably be a little inconvenient if the bow is not commonly used, and the accuracy will naturally be worse. However, if you often exchange the two bows, then there will be no problem, but in the end you should be able to shoot very accurately once you get used to it."

What the shopkeeper said was quite honest, Jia Baoyu was also very satisfied, and asked again: "I heard that the guy who greeted the guests outside said that you can make custom bows here, isn't it good?"

The shopkeeper nodded and said: "That's right, our Baoqizhai has business contacts with all the major forging workshops in the capital. In addition to the necessary forging every year, we also undertake additional business. It's just that there are some differences in prices according to the different requirements of customers. gap."

"The price is not a problem, as long as I can get the things I want well." Except for those ancient objects, few weapons are particularly valuable, and even the forging fee is not a big expense. That is, the one hundred taels, Jia Baoyu didn't care about it.

Jia Baoyu immediately said his request, and the shopkeeper frowned when he heard it, Jia Baoyu saw it and asked: "What's the matter, is there something wrong?"

The shopkeeper nodded and said: "There are indeed some problems. The old man thought that what the young master wanted was a simple bow, but what the young master wanted was beyond ordinary utensils, but real weapons, so he asked the young master to keep it. identity, otherwise we, Bao Qi Zhai, will not be able to bear what happens in the future.”

"You are cautious."

The shopkeeper shook his head after listening to Nai and said: "This is also a legal matter. Weapons are no different. Although our Baoqi Zhai is very good, it is also because there are people above the chief shopkeeper, but it is not forbidden."

Jia Baoyu nodded, "When will things be ready?"

The shopkeeper thought for a while and said: "Three days should be enough, and we will deliver the goods to your door when the time comes."

Jia Baoyu looked at what the shopkeeper said, and knew that the store had to confirm its identity before it was over, but he didn't mind at all, and said: "When the time comes, you will send it directly to the Rongguo Mansion, and say it is Jia Baoyu, the second son of the Rongguo Mansion." Sure, someone will take over when the time comes."

"It turns out that the young master is actually a descendant of Rong Guogong. The little second child really has eyes that don't know Mount Tai! I will definitely deliver it to the door in person." I have to say that no matter what the outside world thinks about Jia's mansion now, Ning Rong's second son However, the Duke of the State is extremely respected. Basically, whoever said it is full of praise. It is no wonder that these two Dukes of the State can still live well after death, and they can be related to Jing Huan. The mood is better.

ps: Some things will be used later, even though I don’t understand it, I have to write it, just like this bow, please forgive me if there is a mistake, this is the limit of my ability.

ps2: Red ticket!Favorite!Even without us, we can't lose half of it all at once.Collection can not but rise ah!It is easy to see changes in a dismal collection.
