Chapter 370: Dowry
The marriage was so lightly postponed by her.
Although Shi Dingfeng was anxious, since he had waited for her for more than 20 years, he didn't care about waiting for a few more years, he could afford to wait.
What Shi Dingfeng thought was that it was a big deal for him to help her cultivate into a Yuan Infant as soon as possible and shorten the waiting time.
However, Hong Ningxiang still has a sealed demonic power in his body, and if he wants to refine this demonic power, he must find a place full of spiritual energy to retreat, and refine the demonic power before he can consider the matter of getting married.
Hong Ningxiang knew that in this retreat, I am afraid that if she does not become a Yuan Baby, she will not get out of the retreat easily.
That being the case, before retreating, she had to go back to her hometown of Red Maple Valley to worship her parents and fulfill her wish.
Hong Ningxiang left Red Maple Valley when she was young under the guidance of her brother's friend Shui Qianfan, in order to avoid the pursuit of Tieyemen, when she was twelve years old.
Now her two lifetimes are almost two hundred years old.
At the beginning, Red Maple Valley was just an ordinary small village in the mortal world.
It wasn't until the Xinglei Sect began to recruit young children in the Red Maple Valley to start cultivating, and the Red Maple Valley produced a few monks who flew to the sky, that this small village gradually integrated into the cultivation world.
After two hundred years of changes, Red Maple Valley has developed into a town of cultivating immortals, no longer so closed, but trading with the surrounding cities, and the town presents a scene of prosperity and prosperity.
In order not to attract attention, Hong Ningxiang and Shi Dingfeng became a pair of ordinary-looking Taoist couples before they came, and they also converged their cultivation to the early stage of foundation building.
There was no phoenix boat, and the two entered directly from the stone gate of the town. I walked until I walked to an old ancestral hall.
Hong Ningxiang remembered that his ancestral hall was under a thousand-year-old maple tree behind the blacksmith shop opened by his father.
Gu Feng had been moved to Fengning Yuan by Shi Dingfeng, and the blacksmith shop was long gone. In its place was a house made of blue bricks and red tiles.
"Ninth Master, whose house is this house?" How can she say that this land is her family's ancestral property, who is so bold as to dare to take this land for himself?! In her previous life, her father's Hongwu blacksmith shop was destroyed because of provoking the Tieye Gate, but later Shi Dingfeng helped her avenge her family, and she took back the title deed of this blacksmith shop, but she kept it in Shi Dingfeng's hands. Could it be that he sold her family's ancestral property?!
Shi Dingfeng didn't speak, just walked to the front of the house. Raise your palm and shake the door open.
Hong Ningxiang looked at him in surprise, is it okay for him to trespass into other people's houses like this? Unexpectedly, when he raised his eyes, he saw that the inside of this house was exactly the same as the blacksmith shop back then.
The five rooms facing the street in the front yard were used for striking iron and opening shops. Five rooms in the backyard were used for accommodation and storage of ironware.
The sound of a craftsman striking iron and talking came out, and Hong Ningxiang felt like he was back when he was a child.
"Are the two guest officers here to order ironware? Hurry up here, please! Our Hongwu blacksmith shop has been running for hundreds of years, and it has a good reputation in the Red Maple Valley, and the ironware made is strong and durable. Look at the two guest officers are monks. It just so happens that we have created a new batch of spiritual weapons with excellent attributes here. Will you two come in and take a look?" A male cultivator who looked like a steward walked out of the middle shop and introduced Hong Ningxiang and the others with an enthusiastic face.
"Let's go, go in and see. Hong Ningxiang didn't understand what was going on, and he had been brought into the shop by Shi Dingfeng.
A dazzling variety of iron tools, from mortal spatulas, kitchen knives, shovels to monks' magic tools, spiritual weapons, of course, such as magic weapons, such high-end goods, generally not put on the shelves. You have to go to the backyard storeroom to choose.
Hong Ningxiang touched here and there, and saw that these irons were marked with the word "Hongwu". She burst into tears of emotion. Hongwu is an ironware brand created by his father back then, and the blacksmith shop is also named after it. Unexpectedly, after a hundred years, not only is the blacksmith shop still open, but my father's craftsmanship has continued. How can she not be happy and excited?
I don't know what Shi Dingfeng said to the steward, the steward's expression instantly became respectful, and soon after entering the backyard, he brought a stack of account books and presented it to Shi Dingfeng with both hands. The steward seemed to know Shi Dingfeng's identity, and retreated with the two guys in the shop with a very good look.
"Xiang'er, come and have a look. ”
Hong Ningxiang put down the kitchen knife in his hand and walked to the counter.
Shi Dingfeng put the account book in front of her and said, "This is the account book of your blacksmith shop, and the income over the years has been recorded." ”
"You mean, this blacksmith shop is still mine?" Hong Ningxiang glanced at the account book at a glance, and was shocked by the considerable income on it.
"Nature is yours. Shi Dingfeng thought of something, squinted his eyes and smiled, "However, this is your dowry." When you marry me, you will be mine. ”
"You scoundrel!" Hong Ning clutched the account book in a daze, "Who said that if I marry you, the dowry will be yours?"
"If you don't get married, you can calculate it so clearly with me?!Wouldn't it be even more lawless if you got married??, a little thing without conscience, what is yours is not mine?" Shi Dingfeng patted her forehead, snatched the account book from her hand, took out a piece of jade slip, and copied the contents, "Wait until you go back and count it slowly." I still take care of your dowry, and it took me a lot of effort, and I have worked hard without credit. What's more, Hongwu blacksmith shop has opened a total of twelve branches, which is a large dowry. I never trade at a loss. ”
"Twelve?" Hong Ningxiang had a feeling of a windfall from heaven, "But you helped my family open so many shops, and you were not excluded by other families?"
"Who dares to exclude? Red Maple Valley is under the jurisdiction of Maocheng, and the city lords are all under me, and they dare to exclude my shop, unless he is tired of living. Let's go to your ancestral hall and have a look. ”
Shi Dingfeng took the account book, called the steward in and gave a few words, and the two left the blacksmith shop together.
Out of the blacksmith shop and in front of the ancestral hall, Hong Ningxiang thought of the blacksmith shop being destroyed by the iron leaf gate back then, and still had many questions in his heart, and couldn't help asking, "Back then, you said that you helped me avenge my family, and I once asked you, how did you do it." At that time, you refused to say more, and asked me not to ask. It's been all these years, you should tell me what happened, right?"
Shi Dingfeng thought for a moment and asked, "Do you remember the Golden Tower?"
"Yes. The reason why Hong Ningxiang was worried about the blacksmith shop being squeezed out by other families was because when his father was alive, his own shop was squeezed out by Dianjinlou, "Dianjinlou is a big shop in Maocheng that specializes in ironware, and it is three times larger than my shop. ”
"Dianjinlou is the murderer behind the framing of your shop. Shi Dingfeng said briefly, "Back then, the Iron Leaf Gate planned to annex another small force, Yin Wind Castle, and it needed a batch of special fire-based spirit weapons, which was a big deal. Originally, Tie Yemen planned to let Dianjinlou take over this business alone, but your father entrusted the relationship and took half of this work. Dianjinlou found out about this, for fear that your family would rob the business, so in the process of transporting your family's iron materials, he sent someone to secretly do something, dropped the material, and replaced it with another material with the same attributes. Because that batch of materials was given by Tieyemen, your father did not suspect that there would be a problem with the materials, until after the delivery, when Tieyemen was attacking Yinfeng Fort, because there was a problem with that batch of spiritual weapons, he lost the battle, and many disciples were killed and injured, and your father knew that he was calculated. After that, Tie Yemen came to seek revenge for this matter, and asked your Hong family to pay for their blood debts. (To be continued.) )
