Chapter 253: Back to the door
I thought that Jing Ruxia was an introverted and not good at talking, but in this special environment, Rong Yuanhang realized that he had seen it wrong: as soon as she opened the chatterbox, Jing Ruxia squeaked and chattered non-stop, most of which were trivial things in life. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ info Her laughter is very low, and if she says some jokes that Rong Yuanhang doesn't think is funny, the girl herself will laugh non-stop. Along the way, the two chatted for a long time, and most of them were saying that Rong Yuanhang was listening, so she also felt that in fact, Jing Ruxia's personality was innocent and lively, and her heart was as simple as a child. Her unabashedly hearty smile is very contagious, making her already beautiful even more cute.
When Rong Yuanhang, a 'luxury' provincial team, entered Meizizhuang, the good deeds in the village had already been reported to the Jing family. Therefore, when the carriage stopped at the door of Jing's house, a large group of people had already gathered at the gate of the compound. In addition to Jing Ruxia's parents Jing Shan and Jiang Qin and Jing Rutang's fiancΓ©e Tao Lijing, as well as their uncle Jingjiang and his wife, they have a family: including Jingjiang's two concubines, more than a dozen cousins, cousins, cousins, and cousins, a total of more than 20 people.
In addition to these relatives, a large group of villagers also came to watch the excitement, most of which were the elderly, women, and children, and surrounded the entire Jingjia alley in front of the door.
These villagers came to see the excitement and to please the money. They all heard that the daughter of the Jing family married an amazing big man. What is Big Shot? - Warrior King! In the eyes of these ordinary people, King Wu is a land immortal, a powerful man with three heads and six arms, and a legend that is high above and unattainable!
As a result, when Rong Yuanhang took Jing Ruxia's little hand and got out of the luxury carriage, the originally noisy scene gradually fell silent.
"Hey, isn't this the young chivalrous man who showed off his might on the night of the wedding banquet and drove away those wolf and tiger officers and soldiers?"
Rong Yuanhang's image is too easy to recognize: a handsome person is secondary, the key is that he has short hair and does not wear a crown! In this world, both men and women, there are very few people with short hair, although the wedding day is at night, the short hair of Rong Yuanhang leaves a deep impression on everyone, and some villagers do not have the opportunity to watch it up close, but they can recognize this short hair at a glance. After Rong Yuanhang said goodbye, he became the focus of the villagers' discussion in just a few days, so his image has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. It was because many of the onlookers recognized him that there was a brief silence.
"Father, mother, uncle, aunt, daughter has brought her husband back to visit you!" Jing Ruxia, who was dressed in gorgeous clothes, came to her parents and family for the first time, and she was obviously very happy with her eyebrows and smiles.
As a result, as soon as he opened his voice, the onlookers burst into discussion at this time, and this strange reaction made Jing Ruxia, who didn't know what to do, stunned.
Jingshan didn't pay attention to his daughter, but stared at Rong Yuanhang, his eyes burst into a blazing light, and he was so excited that his mouth trembled and said, "It turns out that it's really you, the eldest brother is right!" That's right! Actually, I should have guessed, but I didn't dare to think about it....... β
"Dad, what did you say?" Jing Ruxia is inexplicable.
Rong Yuanhang walked over with a smile, hugged his fists and said to them: "The little son-in-law has seen his father-in-law and mother-in-law!" β
"Ah, it turns out that Gongzi Rong is Ruxia's husband?!" At this time, Tao Lijing, who was standing on the side, was extremely surprised, and said in great surprise: "The little woman thought that she would never see Rong Gongzi again!" β
Before Rong Yuanhang could say hello, Jiang Qin, the mother-in-law, had already grabbed his hand excitedly, and said with a smile: "Good son-in-law, hurry, hurry, sit ...... in the house." β
For a while, Rong Yuanhang was surrounded by everyone for a while, and everyone greeted each other in a gossipy, and he couldn't do it if he wanted to politely answer everyone's words. Jiang Qinsheng dragged him and went into the courtyard surrounded by a group of relatives.
The onlookers were sent away by Wang Ping'an and one of the principals of the Jing family. Wang Ping'an carried a large bag of heavy loose silver in his hand, and sent it when he saw someone. If it is an ordinary groom, the villagers generally only send copper plates when they ask for money, ranging from a few to a dozen.
But the Wang family is different, the Wang family is also an unattainable wealthy family for these villagers, so Dongfang Zhiliu has already prepared enough money for Rong Yuanhang - people send copper, but Wang Ping'an sends silver beans when he sees people: two cents of silver for adults, and five cents of silver for children, which looks very heroic.
Due to geographical reasons, the Black Iron City does not officially issue a unified currency, but no matter the metacrystal, blue crystal, gold, and silver are hard currencies here. Only the money tickets and copper coins are somewhat special, Tianshou Royal Money, Tianshun Royal Money, Datang Money, Shengshi Money, Guyi Money and Hexing Money, only the money tickets and copper coins of these six money banks can be circulated.
Behind each of these six money banks, there is a strong state as the backing, and the six major money banks also have cooperation agreements with each other, unifying the currency (copper money) value, so no matter which copper money Tongbao, its value is the same: every 400 copper coins for 1 tael of silver, and 45 taels of silver for 1 tael of gold, 1000 taels of gold for 1 tael of blue crystal.
In addition to the surprisingly expensive price of grain (the price of seven taels of gold per stone of rice), the price of commodities is not too high, such as tea: only 12 taels to 20 taels of silver (100 catties), salt: one cent and eight cents per catty (0.018 taels) of silver, cotton: 5 taels of silver per load, adult cattle: 11 taels to 13 taels of a head. Mutton and pork, three cents of silver per catty. Live goose: two coins of silver, a live duck, six cents of silver. Therefore, the purchasing power of silver is still very considerable.

"This is your eldest uncle Jing Jiang, this is your eldest aunt Han, this is Ruxia's cousin Jing Rudai, second cousin Jing Ruyue, and cousin Jing Panqiu's ......." In the hall of the house, Jing Shan, as his father-in-law, introduced several main relatives of the Jing family to Rong Yuanhang in a respectful tone.
Every time someone was introduced, they would salute Rong Yuanhang respectfully, showing great humility and not daring to regard themselves as elders at all. And Rong Yuanhang is not a proud person, he still follows Jing Ruxia to call these relatives according to the customs on the earth. Of course, when he met a 'cousin' younger than him, he only called him by his first name. The whole process seemed polite, and he did not claim to be the king of martial arts, which made the Jing family even more impressed with him and satisfied with this son-in-law.
The Jing family runs a dyeing workshop, and the factory is near the residence, and the chemical smell of the dyeing powder and cloth cooked in the production process can still waft into the house from time to time. However, everyone is accustomed to it, and no one in the whole village realizes that this is actually a serious environmental pollution, which is harmful to the body.
Sitting in a hall for a long time can be boring, and when you meet for the first time, the conversation will become dry and awkward. In order to take care of Rong Yuanhang's emotions, Jing Shan sent Jing Rudai, Jing Ruyue's two nephews and future daughter-in-law Tao Lijing to accompany Rong Yuanhang to visit the workshop, while the rest of the women were busy in the kitchen to make a sumptuous feast.
The dyeing workshop has more than a dozen sturdy workers busy in an orderly manner, and the production equipment inside is also very primitive: four or five large stoves, dyeing pools, wooden machinery for transporting cloth, boilers, and so on. The reason why Rong Yuanhang proposed to visit the dyeing workshop was actually to see what business opportunities would be available after improving production. But when I asked, I learned that the price of each of the cloths produced was only a few taels of silver. Due to the fierce competition among his peers and the very small profits, this kind of business suddenly made him lose interest.
The whole workshop was smoky, the smell was very bad, Rong Yuanhang covered his nose and said: "Let's go, it smells too bad here, let's go out for a walk." β
Jing Rudai and Jing Ruyue, the two brothers, perhaps out of awe, always seemed to be submissive and lacked a kind of manliness by Rong Yuanhang's side. As soon as Rong Yuanhang spoke, they were as respectful as if they had received a holy decree, but Tao Lijing's demeanor was much more natural when talking to Rong.
"That's right, Brother Jing...... Eh, Brother Rutang's health is better, right? Rong Yuanhang suddenly remembered the injured Jing Rutang.
Tao Lijing replied: "Since using the medicine on your prescription, Rutang's injury has healed quickly, and he just drank the medicine earlier and fell asleep in bed, and he hasn't woken up yet, and he doesn't know that you are coming." Why don't I go and get him up? β
"No, no," Rong Yuanhang said, "just let him rest more, he shouldn't move these days." Let's go see him......"
β¦β¦
Jing Rutang had already woken up, he was woken up by his sister. Jing Ruxia didn't know that her brother was beaten by the Long Knife Gang, and now she saw that he was bedridden, she was very sad and cried like a tearful person. Fortunately, accompanied by a few cousins, they coaxed for a long time before Jing Ruxia stopped crying. Under questioning, Jing Rutang told her the reason for the incident in detail.
After listening, Jing Ruxia was very angry, but she was secretly proud of having such a husband as Rong Yuanhang. She said: "This long-cut gang is also hateful, not only to occupy Sister Lijing, but also to beat my brother like this, hum! Fortunately, the husband taught them a lesson, see if they dare in the future! β
"Yes, yes," at this time, a cousin named Jing Panqiu beside her hurriedly said: "I have also seen the Lei gang leader, he looks vicious and has an abominable face!" Since the wedding party the day before yesterday was ...... After being beaten by his brother-in-law, he came again the next day! β
"What? He still dares to come? Why, the wicked man didn't do anything to our family, did he? Jing Ruxia asked nervously.
Jing Panqiu replied: "No, the one surnamed Lei only brought a male man." Looking at him like that, it is likely that he is here to accompany the sin, but he can't find Rong Gong...... I couldn't find my brother-in-law, so I walked away. β
"Ah, that's great!" Jing Ruxia stroked her chest with her hand and breathed a sigh of relief.
"What do you say, you?" At this moment, a man outside the door said loudly. Then a man and a woman came in, but it was Rong Yuanhang and Tao Lijing.
"Ah, husband!" Jing Ruxia said happily.
"Childe."
"Brother-in-law!"
"Brother-in-law."
There were more people in the bedroom, and it was Jing Rutang who was lying on the bed who called him 'brother-in-law'. It was Jing Panqiu who called Rong Yuanhang 'son', she didn't dare to call the other party 'brother-in-law', so she could only call her 'son-in-law'. The other three little sisters directly called Rong Yuanhang as their brother-in-law.
"Yo, everyone's here? Hehe. Rong Yuanhang smiled. In addition to Jing Ruxia, there are four other cousins in the house, and the eldest Jing Panqiu is only eighteen years old this year, two years older than Jing Ruxia. The other three little sisters were very young, fifteen, fourteen, and eleven years old.
may be the excellent genes of the Jing family, although they are not as outstanding as Jing Ruxia, but in addition to wearing rustic clothes and poor clothing on their bodies, these four girls are also as beautiful as flowers. The youngest and shortest fourth sister is more like a porcelain doll: milky white complexion, round face, big black and bright eyes, naΓ―ve and cute, very smart.
Jing Rutang struggled to get out of bed, only to see him kneeling on his knees, and bowing his head! No one expected him to make such a fuss, Rong Yuanhang was even more taken aback, and hurriedly helped him and said, "Brother Jing, no, what are you doing here, big brother?" β
"Childe, you let me kneel, I, I want to worship you as a teacher!" Jing Rutang stubbornly broke away from his hand, kowtowed again, and said, "I still hope that the master will accept the inferior disciple!" β
"Oh brother, what are you doing, I can't help it!" Jing Ruxia on the side saw that he was kneeling to his husband, and was anxious to stop him.
"You get up!" A soft invisible force held Jing Rutang up stiffly, Rong Yuanhang frowned and said: "The man has gold under his knees, don't kneel at every turn, not to mention that you are still my brother-in-law, isn't this a mess?" β
Jing Rutang said: "Master, thanks to you for looking down on me and recognizing me as my brother-in-law, but the apprentice has long been determined to worship you as a teacher, Master, you, you will accept the apprentice, right?" All right? After speaking, he looked at him blankly and replied.
Rong Yuanhang had long seen that this brother-in-law was just an ordinary person except for his strength, not even a beginner-level martial artist. And he is also twenty-eight years old, and he has long passed the best opportunity to practice martial arts. Plus he is still an uncle-in-law in reputation, how can he be accepted as an apprentice? After thinking about it, he said, "Big brother, you don't need to apprentice. However, as long as you are willing to learn, I will pass on some practical martial arts to you when I have the opportunity. β
"Really?" Jing Rutang was overjoyed.
In this world where martial arts are respected, both martial arts and mental techniques are very precious. Anyone who has martial arts will inevitably cherish themselves, even if there is a hand between master and apprentice, or even between father and son.
On the one hand, people are keen on cultivation because they want to strengthen themselves and improve their social status. On the other hand, it is because of the longevity: ordinary people without martial arts generally do not exceed the age of 100 years. But those who have achieved cultivation, such as martial artists, can live for more than two hundred years! Promoted to a martial arts sect, its lifespan can generally reach five hundred years old!
King Wu is even more remarkable - his lifespan will be more than 800 years. To which martial saints and martial gods are even more unattainable dreams for mortals. What ordinary people who have no conditions have tried their best to pursue a cultivation method all their lives but cannot. And now, this incredible opportunity is in front of you! What's more, Rong Yuanhang was promoted to the rank of martial king at a young age, presumably what he has learned must be extraordinary, and now he is willing to agree to pass on the art in person, which makes Jing Rutang suddenly surprised.
"Thank you, Master, thank you, Master!" After receiving Rong Yuanhang's affirmation, Jing Rutang was grateful, but insisted on calling him 'Master'.
At this time, Jing Ruxia whispered: "Husband, I want to learn martial arts." β
"You learn too?"
Before she finished speaking, the fourth sister standing in the corner suddenly said: "I also want to practice martial arts, brother-in-law, can you teach me?" β
The fourth sister opened her voice, and the eldest sister was also very clever, she pulled the sleeves of the second sister and the third sister, and knelt down in unison with a tacit understanding, and said: "Childe, we sisters all want to practice martial arts, can you teach us by the way?" β
There was Tao Lijing left, this beauty bit her lip and wanted to speak, in fact, she also wanted to practice martial arts, but she was embarrassed to speak.
"Uh......" Rong Yuanhang suddenly sweated profusely, this teaching martial arts is not child's play, it needs to be taught by words and deeds, and it takes a lot of energy and time, but it is not something that can be taught casually. At present, there are a large number of people on the other side of the earth, such as Zheng Yongkai, Zheng Ruijuan's father and daughter, Liu Yewei, Chen Chenghui, Lin Haiyan, Zhuo Xiaoling, aunt Lin Sufang, cousin Lu Xiaofu, etc., waiting to teach their martial arts. How can this time be? The doppelganger lacks skills!
But looking at the little girl who knelt on the ground, especially the little concubine Jing Ruxia, he couldn't bear to refuse, so he said: "You get up, you have a chance, you ......have a chance, you have a chance," he thought for a while and said: "Okay, I'll teach together when I have time, but not now." Because I'm really busy, no, I might be flying to the mine in two days. I also have my duties to fulfill, sisters, when you have time, shall you? β
"Childe, can I learn from you?" Tao Lijing finally took this opportunity to speak bravely.
Rong Yuanhang has never been very good at rejecting others, especially beautiful women, so he can only agree with a wry smile.
At this moment, the mother-in-law suddenly broke in, and she looked a little haggard and uneasy, and said, "Virtuous son-in-law, that, that wicked person is here again!" β
"Who is it? What wicked people? Rong Yuanhang asked calmly.
"It's the wicked man surnamed Lei," Jiang Qin said, "He's just outside the door, but there aren't many people coming this time, and I saw that he only brought one person." β
"Lei Ding?" Rong Yuanhang asked.
Jiang Qin nodded violently: "Yes, yes, he is called Lei Ding, Ruxia's former master!" (To be continued.) )
