After Murong Fu finished singing the two folds, it was already waning, and there was the sound of a carriage outside the door, but it was Azhu Abi who arrived in a four-wheeled carriage with Murong Fu's gift to Su Shi. Murong Fu's ancient books and paintings from overseas were sent to the study, boxes of jewelry, jade, silk and satin were sent to the storeroom, and fresh sea fish covered with thick ice were sent to the kitchen.

Qin Guan was stunned as he watched those wooden boxes move in like flowing water, and Su Shi's whole family looked like they were not surprised, and couldn't help muttering: "No wonder the teacher said that although he belittled Huangzhou, he didn't suffer...... Believe it today! ”

Murong Fu, who was standing beside him, casually asked about Qin Guan's hometown as if nothing had happened. Qin Guan understood and immediately reported his home address and house number. There is no need for Murong Fu's orders, Bao Wei will send money and things to the door to relieve Qin Guan's worries.

Chen Wei's attention was on the last few wooden boxes placed in the hall, which contained pen, ink, paper, inkstones, porcelain, toys and other items collected by Murong Fu from overseas countries. These gifts are novel and exquisitely made, but in Murong Fu's words, they are not worth much, and they are used for Su Shi and his family to use or give away.

Sure enough, Chen Yu pulled out a few long knives from those wooden boxes. The long knives and their scabbards were made into the shape of walking sticks, and although the scabbards were intricately patterned, they were not eye-catching because of their dark color. Pull out the knife out of the sheath, but see the knife surface like a mirror cold light, the blade of the knife is long and the blade is bent outward, a bit similar to the combination of the Japanese knife in later generations and the embroidered spring knife used by the Ming Dynasty Jinyiwei. Chen Yu pulled out the knife in his hand, grabbed a few knife flowers casually, and immediately felt that it was good. The design of this knife conforms to the principles of human body lì, and the casting technology is far superior to the local skills of the Great Song Dynasty, so it is very light and convenient to use, compared to the saber he is used to is bulky. He drew his sword again, and the swords intersected, and his saber broke in two without a sound. "Good! Good! Chen Yu praised twice, casually threw the broken sword aside, and raised his voice. Who's going to try it out with me? ”

Su Shi's whole family, together with Qin Guan, are scholars, so naturally it will not succeed. Qiao Feng didn't wait for Murong Fu to speak, and he had already preemptively said: "The juniors are not good at swordsmanship, so let Murong come!" ”

Chen Yu immediately raised his eyebrows in surprise when he heard this, and asked with a little disdain: "A weak scholar, he also knows how to use a knife?" ”

Murong Fu smiled lightly and said loudly: "Uncle Chen, the junior has been overseas for two years. If he was just a powerless scholar, I am afraid that he would have sunk into the sea long ago. ”

Chen Yu's eyes lit up, and he said loudly: "Please outside the hospital!" ”

"Please!" Murong Fu picked up the knife in his hand and walked out with Chen Yu.

In the courtyard, Chen Yu and Murong Fu stood opposite each other. Although he was born in the family of the eunuch, he was good at martial arts since he was a child, and his family was rich enough to invite a famous teacher. In the past few decades, he has practiced hard, and he will not mention how to do martial arts for the time being, but just look at his posture with a sword, which is quite skillful, like a grandmaster's style.

On the opposite side of Chen Yu, Murong Fu raised the long knife in his hand at eye level, and slowly pulled the knife out of its sheath. In just that moment, his originally leisurely expression disappeared, and the momentum of the whole person sank.

Wu Changfeng, who was watching, suddenly twitched his nose and said in a low voice: "What a heavy murderous aura!" ”

Qiao Feng didn't speak, only frowned and looked at Murong Fu not far away in silence, and only heard Murong Fu say respectfully in his ears: "Elder and young, Uncle Chen, please!" ”

Chen Yu didn't answer, but the look of disdain on his face was gone, and his expression was much more solemn than before.

A moment later, a gust of wind blew a little snow off the treetops in the courtyard. The flying snowflakes swirled in front of the eyes of the two of them, scattering like rain and mist powder. Chen Yu shouted at this time, and slashed at Murong Fu. Murong Fu moved slightly to the side of his feet, and immediately avoided this slash that pulled out mountains and rivers. Chen Yu's move failed, and he immediately flipped his wrist, changed it to a split, and pushed it towards Murong Fu's neck. Murong Fu took another step back, and the second knife slashed dangerously past his throat. Then, Chen Yu followed with three knives in a row, and those three moves were full of momentum like thunder, and in the blink of an eye, they had swept away half of the dead branches in the courtyard.

Seeing that Chen Fu was approaching like a mad tiger step by step, Murong Fu was always in a relaxed mood, and he lightly unloaded his moves as if he were four or two thousand catties. Even a standard weak scholar such as Qin Guan could see that he was superior, and he only sighed in a low voice: "Ji Chang has been adjusted/taught by famous teachers since he was a child, and he can't think of ......."

Before he finished speaking, Wu Changfeng couldn't help but snicker, and only said in a low voice: "Great official, this teacher may not be famous in our rivers and lakes. "Wu Changfeng is old in the rivers and lakes, although his martial arts are mediocre, his knowledge is not ordinary. The origin of the rivers and lakes and officialdom has always been well water and not river water. In the Song Dynasty, the emphasis was on literature and light on martial arts, and the heroes and heroes who could really mix up in the rivers and lakes, which one was willing to be a teacher after an official eunuch, and look at people's faces? The so-called famous teachers are just deceiving those literati who learn three tricks and two styles to decorate the façade. The real rivers and lakes, I'm afraid they haven't even touched the edges.

While the two were talking, Chen Yu had already made ten moves, but he didn't even touch a single hair of Murong Fu. As soon as the ten moves passed, Murong Fu was already bored, and as soon as the scabbard in his hand was raised, he immediately stabbed the "Liangqiu Point" on Chen Yu's knee. Chen Yu only felt a numbness in his right knee, and his center of gravity was unstable and he half-knelt on the ground. Before he could react, Murong Fu flipped his right hand, and the long knife in his hand was already on his neck. These two tricks were extremely fast, and before Chen Yu could see his move, the winner was already divided.

"Uncle Chen, my knife technique is a murderous knife technique. And the knife technique of killing people has never been practiced. Agreed! Murong Fu looked at Chen Yu's staggered face and explained softly, putting the knife into the sheath.

The knife technique of killing people is naturally killed from the sea of blood in the mountain of corpses. Qiao Feng sighed faintly, this time he saw Murong Fu again, he had already noticed the change in his temperament, was it not as simple as growing taller and growing up? Hearing that the sea has always been dangerous, and the pirates are even more ruthless, Murong Xian can come back safely and save a huge family business, and the young man who would vomit because of the first murder many years ago has disappeared.

Qiao Feng was pondering to himself, but Murong Fu suddenly turned around, pointed the long knife in his hand at him, and said with a smile: "Brother Qiao, junior brother has always admired the beggar gang's thirty-six way dog beating stick method!" ”

As soon as Murong Fu said this, there was silence on the field. After a while, everyone applauded again, obviously watching the excitement was not a big deal.

Murong Fu has been gone for two years, and Qiao Feng has made a lot of contributions in the beggar gang, and he has learned half of the 36 ways of beating dogs. Hearing Murong Fu's invitation to fight, Qiao Feng naturally would not refuse, and casually took the green bamboo stick delivered by Jiang Changyun and stepped forward.

The fight between North Qiao Feng and South Murong and Fang Cai Murong accompanying Chen Yu is obviously like a world of difference. I saw that the long knife in Murong Fu's hand was firmly pointed at Qiao Feng's eyebrows, and the whole person, together with the knife in his hand, was like a sharp arrow ready to attack. Qiao Feng stood majestically, the green bamboo stick in his hand pointed obliquely to the ground, like a pine and a mountain.

The two of them were so imposing that they didn't need to say a word to dominate the audience, and they didn't dare to take a breath of anger. Until this time, Chen Yu finally sighed slightly, and said gloomily: "It turns out that I have been the frog at the bottom of the well for decades. ”

Jiang Changyun saw that Chen Yu's expression was depressed, so he persuaded: "Chen Guanren, with your current martial arts, you can be regarded as a second-rate master in the rivers and lakes. There have always been only a handful of these top masters, how can it be so easy? ”

Jiang Changyun was originally a kind-hearted person, but Chen Yu had been wandering for half his life, and he had long been used to being praised by those unpopular gangs, and Jiang Changyun's words were not comforted in his ears, but his heart was congested. After holding it for a long time, Fang Man squeezed out a sentence with jealousy: "In this way, Qiao Feng can be regarded as one of the top masters in the rivers and lakes?" ”

Jiang Changyun smiled slightly, and said continuously: "Don't dare to be!" Don't dare to be! Just looking at his triumphant expression, it was obvious that the implication was "well deserved!" Deserved! ”

Chen Yu didn't realize that it was another wall, so he simply closed his mouth and turned his head to look back into the field.

The atmosphere on the field was still dull and solemn, and it was actually silent to hear the needles dropping. However, as time passed minute by minute, Qiao Feng and Murong Fu only looked at each other, like two stone statues, both motionless.

Qin looked weird and couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "What are they waiting for?" ”

"Timing!" Jiang Changyun replied, "Brother Qiao's martial arts, there are not many opponents on the rivers and lakes. Your junior brother, count it as one. The competition between real masters is not only about martial arts, but also about will, endurance, and ......vision."

Without waiting for Jiang Changyun to finish speaking, Wang Yanzhi suddenly walked over and said loudly: "It's time to eat, why are you standing stupidly?" ”

With just this sound, Murong retracted the knife, and Qiao Feng also turned around and threw the green bamboo stick back to Jiang Changyun. The two looked at each other and smiled, and walked towards the dining room together.

Seeing this, Jiang Changyun almost didn't bite his tongue, and hurriedly grabbed Qiao Feng and stammered, "Qiao...... Big Brother Joe? ”

"The emperor is big when he eats!" Qiao Feng responded casually, leaving Jiang Changyun behind and quickly catching up with Murong Fu.

Murong Fu said that he wanted to make a few new dishes, and he really did what he said, although it was not he who did it. But it was precisely because he did not do it himself that made this banquet even more perfect. One of the two appetizers is the popular fish tarther in the Song Dynasty, which was called Japanese-style sashimi in later generations, and as for the reason for the loss of domestic fish tart, everyone must understand. The fish is not new, but it is rare that the sea fish used to make the fish are caught from the sea and put on a plate for everyone to enjoy, a total of less than 12 hours, the most fresh. And the sauce for eating fish is not the common salt and soy sauce in the Song Dynasty, but the green mustard that Murong Fu brought back from Japan. The other is a cold salad in season, the raw materials are very ordinary, but the sesame oil used is made by Murong Fu with a special pressing tool, which is more refreshing in taste and more translucent than the popular sesame oil today; The peppers were brought by the Arabs who came here with a large reward.

A few hot dishes are Dongpo pork, squirrel mandarin fish, oil-guzzling beef, honey abalone, Liangxi crispy eel, mapo tofu and Longjing shrimp, and the final entrée is the famous Peking duck. In the Song Dynasty, cooking was still mostly stewed, and since Murong Fu pressed sesame oil, he naturally did not forget peanut oil, so he introduced the stir-fry process. The wine used in the meal is the Moutai wine made by Murong Fu who sent someone to Guizhou to fetch water, and the tea after the meal is made from the Longjing before the Ming Dynasty.

Chen Yu, who was full of wine and food, exhaled happily, saying that he knew the taste of eating today, and he couldn't wait to snatch Murong Fu home. Unexpectedly, the chef's Chef Zheng was very arrogant, and when he heard this, he immediately demolished the stage for his owner, and said coldly: "My son-in-law was born a master, and he has always only been able to eat and not cook." If Chen Guanren wants to rob people, don't forget the villain's head, so as not to smash the signboard of 'Jinlin Building'! ”

As soon as Chef Zheng said this, everyone laughed. Murong Fu was originally the most sensitive to this kind of words, but he was also slightly drunk at the moment, so he only laughed stupidly, and said softly with an obsessive and intoxicated expression: "Count the romantic characters, and look at the present dynasty!" It's a pity that I forgot to ask people to draw a picture of Su Zizhan's night banquet, and it is good to circulate...... "Before the words were finished, the person had fallen asleep."

The next day, Su Shi's birthday banquet was held as usual. Although Su Shi has a low official position now, after all, his literary reputation is extremely prosperous, and he is a first-class romantic figure in the eyes of the world. He was going to hold a birthday banquet, and almost all the civil and military officials in Ruzhou City were present to prove that he was also elegant. And the Kunqu opera "Peony Pavilion" and Huaiyang cuisine carefully arranged by Murong Fu in the birthday banquet are enough for them to talk about anecdotes and their descendants.

During the birthday banquet, Su Shi pulled Qin Guan and Murong Fu, busy introducing them to officialdom and laying a good foundation for communication in Japan. Murong Fu didn't have much interest in these civil and military officials who had never left a word in history, but those civil and military officials flocked to him. It turned out that in the past two years, although Murong Fu had gone to sea, he had already received Murong Fu's guidance, and took care of Su Shi's family very well, and Su Shi's colleagues in the officialdom also received a lot of red envelopes. Everyone saw that although Su Shi was demoted, his daily life was still comfortable and generous, and he even had spare money to take care of his relatives and friends, who did not envy him for accepting a good apprentice. Now that the main lord has appeared, everyone who is soft on money naturally wants to have a relationship with Murong Fupan.

Although Murong Fu said that he had never entered the officialdom, he was already familiar with this set of officialdom, but he was really impatient that everyone praised "a merry and talented man, poetry and writing" when he saw him, but when he saw him, he said, "A dazzling pearl and jade, a fairy turned into a person", as if he was a straw bag with an empty appearance.

Murong Fu was choked twice, and after all, he couldn't bear it anymore, so he simply hid aside and had a drink with Qiao Feng. Qiao Feng saw that he looked angry and drank like a cow, and his eyes became brighter and brighter like black pearls immersed in water, and he couldn't help but sigh secretly: You look like this, when others see you, it is difficult for others to think of praising other things for a while!

This sigh in his heart arose, and Qiao Feng secretly said that he was ashamed, he had never understood his friend's taboo, but was quite gloating. He settled down at the moment, and was about to brew a few words of persuasion. Unexpectedly, in a blink of an eye, I saw Murong Fu with one hand on his cheek, staring at Su Shi who was chatting and laughing in the crowd with admiration and obsession. After a while, I saw him burp and say leisurely: "The teacher deserves to be a teacher...... I can actually get the teacher to perform the crown ceremony for me......"

Qiao Feng was speechless for a moment, and at this moment, he suddenly wanted to press Murong Fu into the water tank outside the courtyard.

After the birthday banquet, Su Shi crowned Murong Fu and took the word "Akashi". The bright one, the bright one; The stone one, firm also. Su Shi chose the word "Akashi" for Murong Fu in the hope that he would be able to act unswervingly in the future, which was obviously to have high hopes for him.

At this point, Murong Fu finally became an adult.
