Section 16 Recruiting relatives through martial arts
On the second day, Chang Yun looked for Tan Zhi to drink, and Chang Yun pretended to be displeased and sighed: "Hey... Tan Zhi was a little puzzled and asked, "Brother Chang, what's wrong?" Chang Yun didn't answer him, and continued to sigh, Tan Zhi was even more puzzled, pulled her shirt and said, "Brother Chang, what's wrong with you?" Is there any difficulty at home? Is it Xiao Jin's affair with the child? ”
Chang Yun saw that he was so sincere, and he didn't want to be rude to him anymore, and said: "Hey, Brother Tanzhi, you see brother, I can be regarded as a family and a good life today, but you... Ay! Tan Zhi seemed to be a little puzzled and touched his head with a few inches of hair and said, "Me? What's wrong with me? "What's wrong with you? You also asked me, your sister-in-law and I are very anxious, you can stop living in that temple, if you continue to live, you will have to become a monk again. ”
Tan Zhi smiled bitterly: "What's wrong with being a monk? Except for the rules and precepts, I think it's better than anything else! Chang Yun sighed and said, "Yes, it's good to be a monk, but look at you, what point can you still be a monk?" I've got a deal with your sister-in-law, and I'm going to get you a wife here, what do you think? ”
Tan Zhi was stunned there, he didn't come to his senses for a long time, he never seemed to have thought about finding a daughter-in-law, even if he did, he had already broken off this idea after Lu Jin married Chang Yun. Tan Zhi smiled bitterly, took a big sip of wine, and then said with a smile: "Brother Chang is really righteous enough, he has lived a good life, and he hasn't forgotten my brother and me!" I really thank you. And sister-in-law! But you also know who I am, if I marry a girl from a certain family, that family will not be wronged to death! ”
Chang Yun was trying to persuade Tan Zhi, but to no avail, so he had to give up and return, Lu Jin saw his sad face, he knew the result, and said after being relieved: "I'll try!" Chang Yun had no choice but to nod silently.
Lu Jin came to Tan Zhi and said slowly: "Brother Tan Zhi, my husband and I are all good for you!" That man doesn't need a woman by his side to spread the leaf for him? Even if it's warm feet at night, you have a confidant when you talk! Tan Zhi was still drinking at this time, and when he heard this, he didn't realize that tears fell, mixed with cloudy wine and stained his cheeks.
Lu Jin didn't expect Tan Zhi to be like this at all, and he was a little stunned for a while, and he didn't know what to say. After a long time, Tan Zhi said miserably: "Xiao Jin, how many years have we known each other? "Five years." Lu Jin replied in a lost voice. "That's right, four years and two hundred and ninety-six days, almost five years!" Lu Jin was stunned, she never expected that this seemingly tiger-headed man would have such a meticulous time.
Tan Zhi wiped his tears and continued, "Do you remember the first time we met? Lu Jin nodded slowly, and Tan Zhi continued: "That time, you were dressed in snow-white clothes, like a fairy, but at that time, I was as fat as a pig. Slowly, Tan Zhi touched the sword mark on his chest and said, "The scar here still remains, it was the mark of the first time I saw you, and I am reluctant to leave it." ”
Lu Jin's eyes seemed to be moistened, and his heart was full of memories of the past. She brushed the scattered green silk and said tremblingly, "Yes! How stupid you were then, blocking that sword for me. Tan Zhi smiled bitterly: "Stupid? Why do you think I'm stupid? I feel like the only thing I've done as a human being in my life is to block that sword for you. If I had seen you in front of me at that time, I am afraid that I would not have felt at ease in my life. ”
Lu Jin's throat was a little dry, and he said slowly: "That... Then you don't regret it? Tan Zhi burst into tears and smiled, but his eyes were indeed red: "Regret? I'm telling you, even now, I'm willing to block this sword for you! No matter what, I'm willing! This voice was deafening, as if announcing to the whole world that he would protect the woman in front of him for the rest of his life! But then he lowered his head and said, "Now, now you don't need my protection. You have Brother Chang by your side, and I am also at ease, at ease... ”
Lu Jin was unconsciously left with tears in her eyes when he said it, and she lowered her voice and said, "Brother Tanzhi, don't be like this, since the matter has passed, we, let's all look forward?" Tan Zhi's face suddenly became a little terrifying, and he said abruptly: "Looking ahead? Where's the front? Lu Jin couldn't help but take two steps back in fear, and then said slowly: "No, my husband and I want to find you a daughter-in-law, what do you think?" ”
Tan Zhi's eyes gradually closed, he was full of sorrow in his heart, but he had nowhere to tell, the words had come to this, Tan Zhi gritted his teeth and said, "Xiao Jin, do you really want me to find a daughter-in-law?" Lu Jin nodded, Tan Zhi smiled, laughing naturally, but the corners of his mouth twitched a little, which is a state that a man shows when he is sad.
He slowed down, looked towards the roof, and said slowly, "Okay! Since you want me to do this, then I must be looking for my daughter-in-law! Merely.. This doesn't bother the two of you, I still find a daughter-in-law by asking myself! She laughed out loud, but Lu Jin didn't laugh, she knew Tan Zhi's heart for her, but she didn't want to face it.
If you ask which man she loves the most in this world, it must be Chang Yun, but if you ask which man in this world loves her the most, the answer is not the only one. Lu Jin didn't want to say anything, she hoped to keep this few friends of life and death, and also hoped that he could find happiness. Tan Zhi waved his hand and said, "Okay, okay, go back quickly, it's so late, do you want to spend the night in my broken temple!" ”
Lu Jin burst out laughing and sighed, "Okay! All right! That's decided, when you find your daughter-in-law, you can be the first to introduce me to know! Tan Zhi stopped talking, just lowered his head and waved his hand blindly, and Lu Jin slowly walked back.
Seeing many young men exercising along the road, Lu Jin asked Chang Yun with some confusion: "Huh?" What happened to all these boys in the village? One is more energetic than the other! Chang Yun smiled: "Then the matter is solved?" "Not really! Just wait for his good news! Kwa tell me what's going on? Lu Jin continued to ask curiously.
"What's so strange about this, don't you know that Zhao Yuan in Shahe Town is competing to recruit relatives? Aren't all these boys in the village so diligent for this! Chang Yun explained. Oh? Recruiting relatives in martial arts? This sounds pretty fresh, why don't you go and see it in two days? It's better to take your sister out for a walk! ”
Chang Yun nodded, and Lu Jin patted his head at this time and said, "That's right! Wouldn't it be the best of both worlds to bring Brother Tan Zhi with you that day? Chang Yun pinched Lu Jin's nose and said, "You're smart!" ”
A few days later, the group came to Shahe Town, which was not a big town, but it was relatively prosperous compared to their village. At this time, the town was empty alleys, and several people walked all the way without seeing a figure, and when they came to the door of a restaurant, they were about to sit down and drink a cup of tea before leaving, but the shopkeeper was already closing.
Tan Zhi stopped and asked, "Hey, I said, little second brother, why did the door close so early in this blue sky and white day?" Xiao Er glanced at them and said, "Don't you know? Zhao Yuan is recruiting relatives in the competition, almost everyone in the town has gone, no, the boss gave me a holiday today, and I naturally want to go there when I have free time. ”
Tan Zhi suddenly realized and said, "Little second brother, why don't you get us some tea, adults are fine, but this kid can't be thirsty!" The shopkeeper then brought a pot of tea and said, "Oh, you will drink some of them!" Go back and wait for the competition to come back, and ensure that there will be good wine and good food to entertain you. ”
After they finished drinking tea, they followed the shopkeeper to the place where they were recruiting relatives. Sure enough, it was a sea of people, and they couldn't squeeze in at all, Lu Jin and Lu Yu hugged the child desperately, for fear of being squeezed away by the crowd. Chang Yun and Tan Zhi were on both sides of them, and finally squeezed into the front row, and the scene on the stage made their eyes shine.
There was a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl standing on the stage, wearing a tight-fitting red Luo Xiu shirt, her hair was tied into two ponytails, her cheeks were painted with a faint blush, her eyes flowed, she was tall and energetic. Tan Zhi and Chang Yun both looked straight at each other, as if they hadn't seen such a young and beautiful girl for a long time.
It is also said that I have been living in the village, and the girls in the village are all girls who don't like to dress up, and they do farm work all the year round, and their handsome faces have long been worn out, even if they are Lu Jin, who is like a stunning beauty, her face has become a little haggard in the years after giving birth. Lu Jin's eyes also seemed to emit a little light, as if he saw himself back then.
It turned out that this little girl was a woman outside Zhao Yuan, named Zhao Ming'er. It is said that this little girl has learned excellent martial arts by chance since she was a child, and she is quite famous in a radius of dozens of miles from the town. And she has clear eyebrows, a typical beauty, and most importantly, she has a rich father.
Zhao Yuanwai's family wealth can be said to be all over Shahe Town, where there is his family's property, and his family's tenants can be seen everywhere. The change of dynasty will not affect his ability to call the wind and rain in this town, no, this time, in the name of recruiting relatives through martial arts, he will also declare to everyone: The emperor changes every year, but Lao Tzu remains the same!
