Warm spring enters Hou's door

Chapter 152 I Want Her
Seeing this, the corners of Gu Caiwei's mouth twitched, while Du Juanqing's head was thundered.

"Ayi, what are you doing?" Gu Caiwei hurried forward and pulled back Du Yi's paw, "Have you forgotten the rules I taught you? Who allowed you to be so disrespectful to other young ladies?"

It wasn't until Du Yi realized that he quickly lowered his head: "I'm sorry, I... I was wrong."

Yan Shisanniang smiled softly: "I originally wore this veiled hat to isolate outsiders, but Ning Guogong and you are not outsiders. It is my honor that the prince is willing to take the initiative to look at the little girl. It seems that the prince, you I really like this sword."

"That's natural!"

Speaking of the sword, Du Yi's eyes sparkled again.

"Father, mother, little uncle, come and see! This is Tai'a among the top ten famous swords! It is said that in the Spring and Autumn Period, the king of Chu ordered Ou Yezi, a general, master and apprentice to forge one of the three famous swords handed down from generation to generation. I Never dreamed I could get it now!"

Although he was obsessed with the beauty of the little lady, what made him more obsessed was this ancient famous sword.

After Gu Caiwei and Du Juan heard the words, they understood why this little guy was so excited.

It's just that Du Junqing has been in the mine all day long and still knows a little bit. Gu Caiwei has never dealt with these stones and swords. She can only tell that this sword is really good, but how good it is, and how good it is. Where, she couldn't see it.

She has a specialization in surgery, and she is not in a hurry, anyway, she will give up the position to Gu Tianyuan after just one glance.

Gu Tianyuan's reaction was as excited as Du Yi's.

"Looking at its pattern, the majestic wings are like waves of flowing water... It really is Tai'a sword!"

He still couldn't help playing with the sword in his hand, and then sent it back with his mouth pouted. "Really, why is there a little lady and a famous sword who are taking the initiative to sneak into your arms, but no one comes to please me like this? I am obviously no worse than you!"

"If you want to, just say a word, to ensure that there are beauties who will come to you with all kinds of famous swords and line up for you to choose. But the key is-do you want it?" Gu Caiwei asked coolly, "You have to know, If you take someone else's things, you have to be responsible to them!"

Gu Tianyuan's face turned pale with fright, and he quickly shook his head. "Forget it! I'm still young, and I haven't played enough yet! I don't want to be responsible to anyone yet."

Gu Caiwei was speechless immediately and stopped talking.

Seeing this situation, Du Junhong was overjoyed, and quickly said to Du Juanqing: "Look, brother, Shibalang really likes Shisanniang! It seems that your family is destined to become the son of Qin and Jin with Dudu Yan." Alright!"

Du Juan glanced at Yan Shisanniang who was still smiling, and nodded his head slightly. "maybe!"

He turned around and led the person back.

At this time, Du Yi had already gone to study with the sword in his hand, and Gu Tianyuan hurriedly led the little lady and Xiao Langjun to chase after him.

Du Juanqing took Du Junhong to the guest room, while Gu Caiwei took Yan Shisanniang to the guest room exclusively for female relatives.

Because there have been guests coming to the house recently, the guest room has been cleaned all the time, just waiting for someone to check in with their bags.Gu Caiwei chose the best room in the house for Yan Shisanniang.

Yan Shisanniang went in to take a look, and immediately wanted Gu Caiwei to bow down and salute.

Gu Caiwei took the time to take a closer look at this little lady—she was indeed very beautiful, her figure was plump but still graceful, her face was as white as jade, dotted with a pair of clear pupils, clean and clear, just like She feels very refreshing and comfortable.

Sensing that she was observing her, Yan Shisanniang lowered her eyes shyly, and let her observe enough.

At the end, Gu Caiwei asked softly: "You just met my Ayi for the first time, what do you think of him?"

"My son...he is indeed very tall and mighty, and he seems to have a sense of security." Yan Shisanniang said shyly, her cheeks flushed.

Gu Caiwei raised her eyebrows. "Then you like him?"

"The eldest son has a good status, is capable, and has a bright future. Who wouldn't like him?" Yan Shisanniang whispered.

Although her voice was low, she was full of energy, and she knew that she was full of confidence as soon as she heard it, and it was true.

Gu Caiwei couldn't help staring at her for a few more times before nodding her head: "You must have worked hard when you came from a long way, so hurry up and wash your face and rest for a while! In the next few days, I will arrange for you to get along with Ayi time."

"Thank you." Yan Shisanniang bowed quickly.

Gu Caiwei nodded before turning around and leaving.

After a while, Du Juanqing also arranged for Du Junhong to come back.

"Where's Ayi?" He asked as soon as he entered the door.

"Do you still need to ask? He must be still studying that Tai'a sword!" Gu Caiwei smiled, "You don't know what kind of virtue that kid is? Is he crazy after taking Tai'a sword? Don't expect to see him in the next few days, he will definitely eat and live with his precious sword."

Du Junqing couldn't help frowning upon hearing this. "Just for a sword, he sold himself."

puff!
Gu Caiwei burst out laughing. "Anyway, it's a famous sword through the ages, so it's not a loss. And I've observed that little lady carefully just now, and she is indeed a pretty good person. If she and Ayi can really succeed, she will definitely be able to control Ayi."

"Are you serious?" Du Juanqing was refreshed.

Gu Caiwei nodded firmly. "If you don't believe me, just wait and see."

"Okay!" Du Juanqing nodded immediately.

In the following days, brothers Du Juanqing and Du Junhong reunited, and both of them had endless things to say.In addition to the things around him, there are also the situation related to the weapons at hand. The more the two chatted, the more speculative they became, and the brotherhood was more than ten times better than before.

On Gu Caiwei's side, while entertaining Yan Shisanniang, she created several opportunities for her and Du Yi to get along.Du Yi didn't reject this, he really spared a few days to walk around the mountains with Yan Shisanniang.The two were talking and laughing, talking about the war at the border and the purpose of the weapons sent from Yongxing County, the more they talked, the happier they were.

This time, Du Yi took Yan Shisanniang out to climb the mountain again.Of course, he also brought Gu Tianyuan with him.

The three of them hiked to the junction of Yongxing County and Yangxin County. Standing on the top of the mountain, Du Yi pointed to a mountain that was neither high nor low: "Did you see it? That one is the mine in Yangxin County. The iron ore produced in their mountains is not much worse than ours, but the level of craftsmen is much lower than ours. So now, things such as arrowheads and mo knives that are in high demand and have high precision are all made by us. While casting, the ones in Yangxin County can only make the weapons that we can't finish allotted to them."

"It turns out that there is a mine in Yangxin County." Yan Shisanniang nodded, "My father also said that the weapons sent from Yangxin County are not of poor quality iron ore, but that the refining process is not enough and the forging process is not good enough. It is also slightly lacking, so the overall quality is not as good as that of Yongxing County. However, if it is not a weapon that is frequently used in daily life and does not require too much strength, the ones sent over there now can be used. "

"Exactly, that's what my father said." Du Yi nodded, and the two inevitably began to talk about the experience of using the weapons sent by Yongxing County and Yangxin County respectively.

As he was talking, he suddenly heard footsteps coming from the side path.They vaguely heard someone scolding: "It's bad luck! I wandered around the mountain for a long time without catching even a bird. In the end, don't let me starve to death in this filthy place!"

"Brother, don't worry! Even if you can't catch birds, there are iron ore mines in Yongxing County and Yangxin County, and the people here are rich, and they don't have to worry about food and clothing. At worst, let's find a family and rob them." The collected money is enough for us to eat and drink for several days!"

"That's a good idea, but is there anyone around here?"

"There is no one, so why don't we just go find it? No matter how bad it is, we can sneak into their mines and steal one or two weapons and sell them. I heard that there are some weapons in Yongxing County. There is no market for the price, how many people outside are buying at high prices!"

Hehe, these people actually made their minds on their heads?
Originally, Du Yi planned to hold these people down and beat them up.But at the last words, he changed his mind.

He immediately turned his head and looked at Gu Tianyuan, the two of them met each other's eyes, and instantly understood the other's intention.

After a short meeting, footsteps approached, and a few tall and burly men in rags and rags appeared in front of them.

When the two sides met each other, Du Yi and Gu Tianyuan immediately turned around, and they both protected Yan Shisanniang behind them.

And seeing the three of Du Yi, these people's eyes widened at the same time, and they let out a series of laughs: "It's really hard to find a place, it's easy to get here! We brothers were still discussing just now. How can I go home and give up, I didn't expect to take the initiative to send a few dolls to my door now!"

Du Yi's face sank: "Who are you? What do you want to do?"

"Don't worry, Mr. Xiaolang, we don't kill anyone. It's just that you don't look like children from ordinary families. You don't need money to spend. Then you might as well share the money in your hands with your fingers." Give us a little? We promise, we will leave as soon as we get the money!" The headed strong man said loudly.

Gu Tianyuan also asked: "If you really get the money and leave? You won't do anything else?"

"Anything else?" The strong man squinted his eyes, his eyes glanced at Du Yi and Gu Tianyuan, and then fell on Yan Shisanniang who was blocked behind them.

The man behind the strong man suddenly said: "Brother, this little lady is so beautiful! How about we take her away as well, how about being your wife?"

"That's a good idea!" Everyone else clapped their hands and applauded.

The head of the strong man heard it, and his eyes brightened. "To be honest, we brothers haven't had sex for a long time, and it's rare to meet a little lady here, so it's time for us to vent."

While speaking, several people's lewd eyes fell on Yan Shisanniang.

When Du Yi and Gu Tianyuan saw this, their expressions were gloomy, and they tried their best to keep Yan Shisanniang behind.

Who would have thought that Yan Shisanniang didn't just stay behind them obediently, instead she took the initiative to push away Du Yi's shoulders and walked forward.

"What are you going to do?" Du Yi hurriedly asked upon seeing this.

"I know you." At this moment, Yan Shisanniang's eyes were fixed on the thief.

Hearing this, the thief leader immediately held his head high and put on a majestic and majestic look: "Little lady, do you really know me? Then I don't know where you met? Is it true that I have been in your dream, bro? In the dream, let you be haunted by dreams, want to die?"

"I saw your portrait on the arrest warrant issued by the government." Yan Shisanniang said, "Fan Shijie, from Bingzhou, you killed a family of 32 people in Bingzhou five years ago, and then absconded with money. trace."

After that, she turned to another person. "Tang Ying is also from Bingzhou. You and Fan Shijie have been brothers for many years. When Fan Shijie killed someone, you were also an accomplice."

Then the next one: "Jing Laiqing, from Wuzhou, beat a widow in the same village to death three years ago because of a little quarrel. You were afraid that the widow's son would seek revenge on you when he grew up, and you actually killed two widows who were less than ten years old." All the [-]-year-old sons were thrown to death. You were also sent out by the government to offer a reward for your capture."

One after another, she actually blurted out the names and identities of these five or six people, as well as the crimes they committed.

After the bandit leader and the others heard this, their faces changed drastically.

"Who are you? How do you know our identities so clearly?"

"Because I saw a notice with your face posted at the gate of the official residence!" Yan Shisanniang said.

"Fart! There are so many notices at the gate of the government all year round, and you can remember them all when you see them?"

"I can remember. For example, now, I won't reveal all your identities?" Yan Shisanniang said indifferently.

The group of bandit leaders were all shocked in an instant.

Immediately, the thief's eyes turned cold, and a sneer appeared on his face: "At first, I thought, seeing your beauty, today we brothers will enjoy you well, and then take you with you, when you are free Just keep enjoying it! But since you are so capable, I can't spare your life today. After a while, when we have enjoyed enough, I will kill you with my own hands!"

These people looked at Yan Shisanniang with malicious intent from beginning to end, and their words were all frivolous and insulting, Du Yi couldn't listen anymore.

"It's not certain who killed who!"

He snorted coldly, and immediately drew out the treasured knife from his waist and slashed at it.

The thief leader still looks disdainful. "You little bastard, you don't even have the hair on your mouth, how dare you fight with your grandpa? Grandpa, I can just move your fingers and put you—"

His triumphant announcement came to an abrupt end.

Because, while he was talking, he was also going to get the knife, but Du Yi's knife suddenly floated to him like a ghost, and cut off his arm that was going to hold the knife!

The thick arm fell heavily to the ground, the fingers were still grasping, and the five fingers were still gathering towards the middle.However, it has already completely separated from the body.

After solving this one, Du Yi immediately raised his knife and chopped down the next one.

Seeing that he had taken action, Gu Tianyuan was not to be outdone, he quickly drew out his sword and joined the battle.

These two little guys have been gesticulating with Fufengzi Ou Shenzi's apprentice from the very beginning.Although they still can't beat the senior brothers now, they can easily deal with these few people who have some physical strength.

But three or two blows, they cut down most of this group of people.

Another person saw that the situation was not good, and immediately turned around and ran away.

His feet are extremely light, and he jumps like a swallow in the woods as fast as a swallow, one left and one right, neither Du Yi nor Gu Tianyuan can figure out his rhythm.

The two of them suddenly sank, and their mood became inexplicably extremely bad.

However, at this time, a sharp sound came from the ear.Du Yi and Gu Tianyuan turned their heads subconsciously, and saw a short arrow shooting from behind.The short arrow perfectly passed between the two of them, and then flew towards the man jumping in the forest, and then ruthlessly pierced his nimbly bouncing calf.

One leg lost control in an instant, and the man fell to the ground with a plop.

"Haha, let me see where you can go!" Gu Tianyuan smiled triumphantly when he saw this, and hurried over to bring him over.

Du Yi looked back at Yan Shisanniang.Yan Shisanniang also showed him the sleeve arrow in her hand without hesitation.

"You actually hid this thing." He said in a deep voice.

Yan Shisanniang nodded. "My father taught me since I was a child that a person can only live a stable life if he learns to protect himself. It is not suitable for me, a little lady, to hold a sword in my hand, so the hidden arrow is the most suitable weapon for me. So since I can walk, he started Start letting me learn this."

"I remember, Dudu Yan sent a letter to my dad, asking him to make him a hundred short arrows." Du Yi said.

"These short arrows are custom-made for me." Yan Shisanniang nodded, "I have used thirty of them so far, and there are seventy left. I should be able to use them for a few more years."

"Then, what if I cover the short arrows for the rest of your life?" Du Yi blurted out.

"what?"

Yan Shisanniang was taken aback when she heard the words, then her cheeks were flushed, and she turned her head away. "Prodigal son, I ignore you!"

I hurried away.

Gu Tianyuan walked back with the person in his hand, and this was what he saw.

"What happened to her? Did you bully someone?" He asked Du Yi in a low voice.

"No! I was discussing serious matters with her." Du Yi shook his head solemnly.

Gu Tianyuan pursed his lips. "I don't believe your nonsense!"

But Yan Shisanniang didn't go very far, she left the two of them behind and stopped.

Du Yi breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this, he quickly said to Gu Tianyuan: "Right now, let's send these people to the county government first! By the way, let's see if they are thieves who killed people and silenced them."

Gu Tianyuan nodded quickly.

The few of them did what they said, and immediately picked rattan from the mountain and tied these people into grasshoppers on a rope, and then dragged them down the mountain to the county government.

When the magistrate of Yongxing County heard that they were coming, he hurried out to greet them.Waiting for Du Yi and the others to explain what happened, he hurriedly asked people to compare the images of the wanted criminals sent by the court, and found that they were exactly the people Yan Shisanniang mentioned!
"This little lady has good eyesight! She also has a good memory! Thank you for seeing through their identities, and thank you, my son, for capturing these thieves. They are all guilty of heinous crimes. The officials will definitely interrogate them severely and hand them over to the court for accountability." !"

The magistrate of the county is almost going crazy with excitement!
Ordinarily, the imperial court hunts down Jiangyang thieves, and catching one at random is a great contribution.As a result, now, Du Yi and the others brought him a bunch of them in one go!These people in front of him are no longer human beings in his eyes, so that is an innumerable credit, okay?
Originally, after the news of the iron mine in Yongxing County spread, coupled with Du Juanqing's strong support, the people in this area under his rule became more and more prosperous, and he was excellent in several performance appraisals.With such a great contribution this time, after the performance appraisal at the end of this year, his promotion will be a certainty!

Think about those poor county grandpas in Yangxin County... That's right, after the discovery of iron mines in Yangxin County, their county grandpas didn't get any light at all. A fishy body.Before, because of the inferior performance appraisal, the two county magistrates were driven to poorer places to serve as officials for the people.The newly appointed one was appointed by the samurai family, so the situation is relatively better, but only slightly better.

After all, Yangxin County can't catch up with their Yongxing County no matter how hard they try, and Yangxin County's ironware is also ranked behind Yongxing County. How can the Ru family swallow this breath?They didn't dare to get angry with Du Juanqing, so they could only say that their anger was on the head of the county magistrate.

The last time we met, the county magistrate Yangxin pulled his sleeves and cried for a long time after drinking too much.

And then turn around and look at yourself... The magistrate of Yongxing County is almost crazy with joy!
"My son, my uncle, Mrs. Yan, please rest assured. The first credit for catching this group of people belongs to you, and the officials will never be greedy. Now you just hand them over to the officials, and I will definitely give this matter to you It was handled properly!"

"We still believe in your abilities, the parents of the county." Du Yi nodded, "Now we are only here to send someone off, as for other matters, you are the parent officer of the county, so it is naturally under your control, and we will not intervene too much. "

After finishing speaking, he and Gu Tianyuan bid farewell together.

The county magistrate was even more delighted when he heard the words, and hurriedly sent them out of the county office, and then watched their figures go far away, then turned around, almost bouncing back to the back office.

Actually, now, Du Yi's mood was also very happy, but he managed to take a deep breath to stabilize himself.

After finally riding his horse back home, he quickly got off the horse and rushed towards Gu Caiwei. "Aniang, Aniang, I want that lady! I will never marry her in this life!"

Ga?
Gu Caiwei was baffled, but she quickly realized who Du Yi was talking about.

However, she didn't point it out. Instead, she asked him in a puzzled manner: "What lady? Whose little lady are you looking at? You still have such a posture that if others don't agree, you will force her through the door." ?”

"It's that little lady from the Yan family! She's so amazing, I like her!" Du Yi couldn't hear the teasing in her words under his excitement, and he replied seriously.

Gu Caiwei blinked. "Are you sure?"

"I'm sure! It's her!" Du Yi nodded frantically like pecking rice.

Gu Caiwei was very surprised. "What did she do to make you fall in love with her suddenly?"

"Because she's amazing!" Du Yi hurriedly said, and then told what happened on the mountain today.

After Gu Caiwei heard it, she was immediately shocked. "I have a photographic memory, and I can quickly recognize people through such a few simple pictures by the government. This ability is really amazing."

"More than that! She can also shoot the sleeve arrow, and she is so beautiful! I asked her on the way back, and she said that she can dance the short sword, and she will fight me tomorrow!" Du Yi said, getting more and more excited.

Right now, he wasn't even that keen on the important matter of casting swords, so he just pulled Gu Caiwei to praise this little lady.

Hearing him praise other girls so shamelessly, Gu Caiwei couldn't help feeling a little sour in her heart.

When Du Juanqing came back at night, she told Du Juanqing about it.It's just that after she finished speaking, she couldn't help but clutch her chest again: "I've only heard that when my daughter gets married, I feel distressed when I become a father. But now I know that my son has a sweetheart, and I, a mother, start to feel uncomfortable now." ?”

"That's because you care too much about Ayi." Du Juan said clearly, "But it's not a big deal. Yan's little lady is going to marry into our house in the end, and Ayi is still your son and won't marry you People ran away. You can relax."

"That's true." Gu Caiwei nodded, and then felt much better.

"Wait a minute!" Immediately, she realized again, "Are you agreeing to this marriage?"

"Ayi himself has chosen, will he agree if I don't promise?" Du Juanqing snorted softly.

Gu Caiwei immediately covered her lips and smiled. "Indeed. That kid is as stubborn as you. Since he's interested in it, he'll try his best to get it."

As she spoke, she looked up at the man in front of her again. "Moreover, there is a living example of success in front of him!"

Du Juan touched his nose immediately: "It's all in the past, why are you still mentioning it?"

"Why, you dared to do it back then, but you don't dare to do it now?" Gu Caiwei snorted coldly.

"No." Du Juan shook his head, "I just want to say, in fact, if I were the current me, I would definitely act more boldly than I did back then. In this way, I can embrace the beauty sooner, and I won't be alone. I started thinking wildly for a long time, but in the end it turned out that I was thinking too much. Now Ayi has done a good job in this regard."

Gu Caiwei couldn't help curling her lips when she heard the words. "You father and son are both alike! Neither is a good thing!"

A smug smile flashed across Du Juanqing's face. "No matter how bad it is, what can you do if you like it?"

This kind of virtue really makes people want to tear his face off!
It's just that this is my own man, it's impossible to tear him apart, so Gu Caiwei grabbed his arm and bit him hard!
Du Juanqing immediately let out a cry of pain, and he quickly hugged her. "If you want to bite me, you have to be in the right place! You see, there are so many places on my body that can be bitten, why do you only bite on this place where there is no meat?"

Saying that he is shameless, he even tore off his face completely, stood on it, jumped and stepped on it!

Gu Caiwei was amazed.

"Okay, just bite!"

Gritting her teeth and growling, she really jumped at this man, ripping off his clothes and biting.

Of course, who bit whom in the end, and how far the biting incident developed in the end, all became impossible to say.

Anyway, since the Yan family took the initiative and Du Yi was also willing, the marriage was settled like this.Du Junhong and Yan Shisanniang stayed in Yongxing County for a month, and they both turned back.

When they went back this time, they brought a batch of newly forged weapons from Yongxin County, as well as a letter of marriage proposal written by Du Juanqing himself.

Although the marriage was proposed by the Yan family, they are the man after all, so they still have to provide the marriage proposal first. After the Yan family agrees, the two parties will go through a series of procedures such as engagement.

This marriage proposal was handed over to Yan Shisanniang by Gu Caiwei herself.

After coming to Yongxing County for a month, Yan Shisanniang became much more lively.Seeing that Gu Caiwei handed the marriage proposal to herself, her outstretched hands trembled slightly with excitement.

However, when she grasped the corner of the letter with both hands and was about to take it back, she found that she couldn't take it at all.

She raised her head in surprise, and saw Gu Caiwei was looking at her with fixed eyes.

Gu Caiwei's gaze was too sharp, like two sharp knives, piercing straight from her eyes to her heart.

She could only feel her whole heart shrinking involuntarily, and even the hand holding the envelope softened.

He was hesitating whether to withdraw his hand, so Gu Caiwei said, "I have a few words to tell you."

Yan Shisanniang nodded quickly: "Madam, please tell me."

"You really like my Ayi, right?" Gu Caiwei asked.

Yan Shisanniang immediately blushed again on her cheeks.

"It's natural. Shizi is very good, and I really like him."

"That's good." Gu Caiwei nodded, "Since you tried your best to make Ayi notice you and fall in love with you, then I hope you will not disappoint his affection for you. He is a good boy, too. My darling. If anyone dares to let him be hurt, I will never let him go. You should know my ability."

Yan Shisanniang lowered her head. "Little lady, don't worry, I have no malice towards the son."

"Okay." Gu Caiwei let go of her hand.

Yan Shisanniang didn't notice for a moment, she staggered back a few steps, and managed to gain a firm footing.

When she raised her head again, Gu Caiwei had regained her composure, and her expression was peaceful and gentle. "It's getting late, hurry up and get on your way! Hurry up and bring this good news to the border, we will also start preparing the dowry here."

Yan Shisanniang nodded quickly, but this time she didn't even say a word, and hurried into the carriage.

It wasn't until the carriage drove away that Liuli found a chance to ask Gu Caiwei in a low voice: "Lady, I just heard that Mrs. Yan Shisan called you a little lady? Does this mean that she and the black market..."

"If nothing else happens, she is the wife arranged for Ayi by the black market." Gu Caiwei nodded.

Liuli's face suddenly changed. "Then why didn't you tell Lord Hou and Shizi about this?"

"Do you think they don't know?" Gu Caiwei asked back.

Liuli was speechless for a moment.

Gu Caiwei patted her on the shoulder. "Some things can only be seen through but not revealed. People are what Ayi chooses, so what can I say? I can only give him trust. He is so old, he should go the next step by himself .”

As she spoke, she raised her head and sighed again. "It's really not a good thing for a child to grow up. I miss the soft and cute Ayi when I was a child more and more!"
