Chen Xian slept from the afternoon of the same day to the early morning of the next day, and then woke up refreshed.

Soon after getting up, the maid surnamed Wu brought washing water, and to Chen Xian's surprise, among the things brought by the maid surnamed Wu, he actually saw something similar to a toothbrush.

After the maid surnamed Wu left, Chen Xian took the toothbrush-like thing and studied it for a long time, combined with the gray-white powder in a small porcelain dish sent with the toothbrush, he finally determined that this should be a toothbrush.

This toothbrush is very similar in appearance to the toothbrushes of later generations, except that the handle is made of wood, and at one end of the brush head, a pinch of black-brown, hair-like bristles are contained in many circular holes on the head of the brush handle.

The gray-white powder in the small porcelain dish should be the legendary tooth powder, that is, the ancient toothpaste.

The toothbrush didn't look new, Chen Xian didn't dare to use it, he dipped his fingers in tooth powder and brushed his teeth hastily.

Although he didn't use a toothbrush, Chen Xian was still very satisfied, and when he thought that he could use a toothbrush after crossing the Song Dynasty, he felt that he shouldn't have too many extravagances.

After washing, Chen Xian waited left and right and didn't see breakfast, and waited until almost ten o'clock before finally looking forward to breakfast.

Breakfast is vegetable meat buns and a bowl of vegetable porridge, except for the salt is lighter, the others are quite and Chen Xian's taste.

After breakfast, Chen Xian changed into his underwear that had been dried, put on the linen clothes provided by the maid surnamed Wu, cleaned himself up, and waited for Yang Yuan to summon him.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for a family member to come to pass the word, and the grandfather summoned him.

Chen Xian picked up the box and followed the family out of the guest house.

He followed his family along the sandwich road to the south, turned a corner, and came to the sandwich road south of Yang's mansion.

Walking into this sandwich road, Chen Xian found that yesterday they walked through the back door of the Yang Mansion, and this south is the main gate of the Yang Mansion.

In the center of the city wall to the south of Yang's mansion, there was a gatehouse of considerable scale, and a wide gate with double openings opened under the gatehouse.

The inside of the gate of the city tower is facing the main gate of the inner courtyard of the Yang Mansion, and it is also a double-open wide vermilion gate.

There is a small door on each side of the vermilion gate.

Of course, Chen Xian's identity was not enough to walk through the gate, so the family took him into the east ear door.

After entering the ear door and bypassing a wall, Chen Xian came to a square and wide atrium, a straight stone avenue in the center of the atrium, from the main entrance to the wall of the atrium to a brick house behind the atrium, which should be the main hall of the Yang family's reception.

On the left and right sides of the atrium avenue are two gardens, in which a piece of bamboo is planted, accompanied by some flowers and plants.

The family took Chen Xian through the atrium under the eaves of the wing room on the east side of the atrium, and went around to the front of the main hall.

Let Chen Xian wait at the foot of the steps of the main hall, and the family Ding stepped forward to report Chen Xian's arrival to the two men in front of the main hall, and the door Ding glanced at Chen Xian, turned around and walked into the main hall......

After a while, the doorman came out and motioned for Chen Xian to go in to meet his grandfather.

Seeing that Chen Xian wanted to go in with a box, the doorman hurriedly stopped him, "What's in the box?" It is not allowed to be brought in. ”

Chen Xian explained: "This box contains a certain family heirloom armor, which is to be dedicated to the outside of the staff. ”

The doorman did not dare to let him in, and he did not dare to refuse the treasure offered to the outside of the staff, so he hesitated for a moment and went in again to report.

Soon he came out again and told Chen Xian that he couldn't go in with the box, and that he wanted to offer the treasure armor, so he took out the treasure armor and let him take it in on his behalf.

Chen Xian had no ghost in his heart, so naturally he would not refuse, he opened the box, took out the plate armor parts one by one, and put them in the hands of the doorman.

He then followed the doorman into the main hall of the central hall.

Inside the gate, there is a wide hall, at the bottom of the hall, Yang Yuanwai, who I saw yesterday, is sitting on a Taishi chair, and behind it is a screen painted with a tiger descending the mountain.

Yang Yuanwai looked at Chen Xian's old linen short clothes, his face suddenly sank, and he said angrily to the butler who was standing next to his chair with his hands down: "Chen Zhuangshi is the great benefactor of my Yang family, how can he be so lazy. ”

The housekeeper glanced at Chen Xian, bowed his head and said, "It's a small inadequate hospitality, please punish the staff." ”

Chen Xian hurriedly said: "It's no wonder that the housekeeper is here, it's that I haven't told the housekeeper." ”

Yang Yuanwai smiled: "Chen Zhuangshi doesn't need to be polite to me, you saved my eldest mother, you are my savior, if I don't entertain well, wouldn't it be a joke." ”

Speaking of this, Yang Yuanwai asked again: "I see that Chen Zhuangshi looks dignified, and he seems to be from a rich family, I don't know why he has fallen to such a point?" ”

When Chen Xian heard this, according to the countermeasures that had been conceived a long time ago, he first sighed and said in a deep voice: "Don't hide it, after a certain person is a junior official of the Zhongdu Ordnance Supervisor, a certain father and ancestor are all master craftsmen of the Ordnance Superintendent, specializing in the supervision of armor and blades. ”

"Last year, my father offended the villain, and was manipulated on the armor he supervised, and this year's incident, my family was tragically beheaded, and the whole family escaped from me, I shaved my hair and pretended to be a monk, and then escaped from the city."

"Because I was in a hurry, I didn't even have time to take the softness, so I fled alone."

"Fortunately, my ancestor hid these two pieces of armor and a few weapons in a courtyard that outsiders don't know about."

"These two pieces of armor, one is the one I wore yesterday......"

Speaking of this, he pointed to the plate armor that the man was holding with some difficulty in his hands and said, "The other one is this family heirloom armor. ”

Yang Yuanwai followed Chen Xian's finger and looked at the black and shiny armor, and said with a smile: "It's better for Chen Zhuangshi, you put on this treasure armor and let someone take a look." ”

Chen Xian said: "I tried it in the next, but unfortunately the figure is too tall and does not fit, Yang Yuanwai can find a medium stature and a strong person to try." ”

Seeing that Chen Xian was reluctant to try it on, Yang Yuanwai glanced at him, frowned, turned back to the housekeeper and said, "Go and invite the head of the Lei Sect." ”

The housekeeper went to the door and gave an order, and the servant went.

Yang Yuanwai asked Chen Xian how he fled to Lushan from Zhongdu.

Chen Xian will make up the lies one by one, thanks to Chen Xian used to pay attention to ancient wars, often check the map to study the ancient battlefield, for the comparison of ancient and modern place names is more understanding, can deal with one or two.

All the way to the place name, those who know will say, and those who don't know will say that they only dare to flee in the wilderness, not into the city.

Yang Yuanwai asked him how he knew the road in the wilderness, and Chen Xian told him that he didn't know the way, but just walked all the way south.

Yang Yuanwai then asked him how to identify Nanxiang in the mountains, and seemed to be suspicious of him, which is not surprising, the son-in-law's family was destroyed, and the daughter's life-saving benefactor came strangely, if this Yang Yuanwai was not suspicious, it would be strange.

As soon as he heard the other party ask, Chen Xian immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately talked to the other party about how to identify the direction in the wilderness to survive some knowledge of wilderness, and Yang Yuanwai was stunned for a while.

At this moment, Jia Ding walked in with a sturdy middle-aged man of medium stature, who was none other than the head of the Lei Sect

Yang Yuanwai pointed to the armor in the hand of the doorman and asked Lei Jiaotou to try it on, and Lei Jiaotou did not doubt him, and put on the plate armor with the help of Chen Xian.

Seeing that the head of the Lei Sect was wearing the armor, Yang Yuanwai finally changed color, he stepped forward to take a closer look at the armor worn on the head of the Lei Sect, the more he looked at it, the more shocked he became, this armor wrapped the head of the Lei Sect from head to toe almost without leakage, even if there were a few gaps in the joints, there was chain mail inside to supplement the protection, except for the eyes, there were almost no loopholes.

I was even more surprised to hear the head of the Lei Sect say that wearing this tight armor was even lighter than wearing ordinary iron armor.

At this time, he could no longer care about doubting Chen Xian, and asked Lei Jiaotou to take off his trouser rack and let him try it on himself.

Yang Yuanwai seems to have this treasure armor dedicated to Lord Lang (Emperor Jin), I am afraid that it can be exchanged for a title, and if someone uses such a treasure armor to assassinate himself, it is simply blind.

However, there is still no shortage of Yang Yuanwai, he did not ask Chen Xian to help, but asked the Lei Sect Leader, who had just worn the armor, to help him put on the armor.

After trying the armor himself, Yang Yuanwai was even more shocked, he really couldn't believe that such a hard iron plate armor was worn on his body, and it was even lighter than the soft armor.

Yang Yuanwai wore armor, pondered for a moment, and asked Chen Xiandao: "Since Chen Zhuangshi has such a treasure armor, why don't you give it to the government?" Instead, dedicated to me, a tyrant in the mountains? ”

Chen Xian smiled bitterly: "Why haven't you sacrificed?" This armor is created by my great-grandfather, after the creation of this armor, he took the pattern of this armor to the imperial court, did not expect to go back this time, fortunately, the great-ancestor thought that there might be an accident before he went, so he used a pseudonym, at that time my family had not entered the official camp, and was not known to outsiders, so he avoided a catastrophe. ”

"When the great-ancestor left, there was no method of making armor, after the great-ancestor disappeared, the method of making this armor was lost, if it was offered again, the court wanted the production method of this armor, wouldn't it be to force my family to death?"

"Therefore, this armor will never dare to be dedicated to the imperial court, and it will not even be taken out to see people, if it is not for the desperate now, it will never be taken out to show people."

Yang Yuanwai listened to Chen Xian's story and nodded noncommittally.

Yang Yuanwai took off his plate armor with the help of the Lei Sect Leader, and asked Chen Xian: "Chen Zhuangshi gave such a heavy gift to a certain family, I don't know what to ask for?" ”

Chen Xian arched his hand and said: "I see that this Dongzhuang is located in the depths of Lushan, but there is a flat land, it is really a paradise, and now there is nowhere to go, I just want to settle down in this Dongzhuangzi." ”

"I have no other skills, although I have only learned three points of ancestral craftsmanship, but it is enough to make a living, but now I am penniless, so I only ask Yang Yuanwai to help me open a blacksmith shop and recruit more than a dozen apprentices, so that I can settle down in this paradise."

After listening to Chen Xian's request, Yang Yuanwai seemed to be a little suspicious, and said with a smile: "It's easy to say, it's easy to say, it's just a trivial matter." ”

After that, he instructed the butler: "Anren, you arrange for the craftsman to find a vacant land near the north gate and build a blacksmith shop, and everything in the shop is according to Chen Zhuangshi's requirements, and then select a smart and diligent young man from my Yang family's tenants and let Chen Zhuangshi choose an apprentice." ”

Speaking of this, Yang Yuanwai pondered for a moment and said: "This treasure armor is worth a thousand yuan, and it is by no means worth a blacksmith shop, and a certain family is not greedy for your cheapness, so as not to make people laugh ......at it."

Speaking of this, Yang Yuanwai pondered for a moment and instructed the housekeeper: "Give Chen Zhuangshi the newly opened 100 acres of new land in the northernmost part of Zhuangzi, and then make five brocade straight shirts and five square scarves of various colors for Chen Zhuangshi, and give 50 yuan and 10 taels of silver." ”

When Chen Xian heard this, he hurriedly thanked him: "Thank you for the reward!" ”

Yang Yuanwai nodded, waved his hand and motioned for the housekeeper to take Chen Xian down to settle down.

After Chen Xian bowed to Yang Yuanwai, he followed the butler out of the middle hall.
