Lin Xiu was a little embarrassed by Lu Zhen's praise, and after saying hello, he went into the house to clean up. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
Looking at Lin Xiuyi's talent, the Confucian style is quite good, much stronger than the martial arts style in northern Xinjiang, combined with the current situation, Lu Zhen thought about it a little, in order to promote this big deal, he whispered to Lin Mao: "Brother, I'll bring the words, don't say anything else, give me news tomorrow." ”
Having said that, but before leaving, Lu Han put down a sentence meaningfully: "Brother, brother is talking more than one sentence here, Lin Xiu's child is a great talent, but now in this world, relying on talent alone is not enough, when Lin Xiu succeeds in the examination, there is no silver in vain, those officials don't know your family's great talent, don't say it far away, didn't your county lord Chen Yu brother fall in front of you back then?" Without your funding, I'm afraid he wouldn't have climbed to the position of Linshui County Commander! ”
After Lu Zhen left, Lin Mao was silent, holding the wine jar and thinking about it for a whole day and a night, and early the next morning, Lin Mao walked towards Lu Zhen's house.
Lu Zhen's house, Lin Mao took a bowl and poured a large sip of spirits, let him wipe his mouth, and said in a rough voice: "How many iron tools do they want?" ”
"Not much, a thousand catties of miscellaneous iron, a thousand catties of refined iron...."
"What do they get in exchange?"
"One hundred good horses, three hundred thin horses." Lu Zhen swallowed a mouthful and continued: "Brother, I have seen this so-called skinny horse, they are all two-year-old horses, now there is a lack of grassland on the grassland, the livestock are not full at all, and they are naturally not fat, as long as we bring it back to raise it for half a year, it is a good horse, and now I have spent money to buy a good Tongbian paper, as before, it is called a skin seller, and we have walked a hundred and ten times on those roads, it should be no big problem, as long as the old brother is willing, gather the horse team in your hand, we can set off as soon as possible, if it goes well, I can come back in two months, I told the people of Tuoyada, let's not go to Caowazi, where there is a war, it's too dangerous, we are only responsible for sending things to him to the south of Caowazi, they sent someone to pick it up, I know that this Caoweidang is more than 100 miles away from our border avenue, and I can run if something really happens! ”
After Lu Zhen finished speaking, he waited eagerly for Lin Mao's reply, only to see Lin Mao's brows squeezed into a pimple, and he poured three or five bowls of spirits in a row, and only drank the old man's face was red, and then he said stiffly: "Mother's rotten life, rich and dangerous, do it!" ”
Hearing this, Lu Zhen was overjoyed, Lin Mao was simple, once he was identified, he would have to leave even if it was a mountain of swords and a sea of fire, and he got up and said: "Old rules, you prepare the goods, I will integrate the horse team, now I will go to Xiangcheng to find He Laojiu to hire a swordsman, and when everything is ready, we will set off in Beizhenbao!" ”
Lin family, Lin Mao went out early in the morning, Zhang's went to the neighboring village to participate in the street meeting, leaving Lin Xiu alone at home, first punched once, let the review of the strategy, at noon, Lin Xiu was planning to find Li Hu, Zhao Yuan and the two to go out for a drink, but the maid Xiao Yue'er of the Chen Mansion came to find Xiao Yue'er, Xiao Yue'er is Chen Shuling's personal maid, came to the Lin family, she pushed the door and shouted, Lin Xiu hurriedly walked out of the house, but saw Xiao Yue'er's face was slightly red, panting.
"Yue'er, what are you?"
Xiao Yue'er couldn't take a breath, and said anxiously: "Young Master Lin, the eldest lady sent me to find you, she was taken to Xiangcheng by the Yu family, she... She..."
Hearing this, Lin Xiu suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart, he stepped forward to ask, and he didn't care about any male and female etiquette, and grabbed Xiao Yue'er's shoulders directly with both hands: "Say it quickly... What happened to Shuling? ”
"Mrs. Yu... Mrs. Yu took the eldest lady to Xiangcheng to participate in the Buddha Zhai sacrifice, early this morning, when the young lady went out, I was opened by Mrs. Yu to prepare clothes for the young lady, when I came out, I heard Mrs. Yu's maid chewing the root of the tongue, what to say that there is no need to look at the cold face of the eldest lady in the future, I felt bad in my heart at the time, so I continued to listen, as a result, they said that Mrs. Yu returned to the city half a year ago to marry the young lady to form a family business, is the nephew of the Xiangcheng county guard, this time I will go to Xiangcheng to participate in the Buddha sacrifice, I am afraid that it is to meet with the family of the family, once it is decided, With Madame's temperament, Miss really couldn't come back, and when I went back in a panic, Miss had been forcibly taken away by Mrs. Yu... My lord has been out on patrol recently, so I have to look for you... Lin Gongzi... You have to hurry....or else..."
Hearing that the Yu family secretly concealed Chen Yu from marrying Shuling, Lin Xiu only felt that there was a fire burning in his chest, and that fire quickly filled Lin Xiu's nerves, making him clench his teeth, his fists squeaked, and the blue tendons on his forehead were abrupt and almost burst, and Xiao Yue'er, who saw this for the first time, was actually frightened by Lin Xiu.
At that moment, Lin Xiu almost lost his mind, he still had only one idea at this time, no matter what, he had to recover Ling'er, even if it was to rob her, he had to snatch her back. Lin Xiu no longer paid attention to the rambling Xiaoyue, galloped to the stable behind the courtyard, rode on the horse and went straight to Xiangcheng.
Buddha Zhai sacrifice, this is a kind of custom banquet in northern Xinjiang, hosted by the official family, to use the feast to envelop the famous and wealthy families, consolidate local stability, this time the Yu family in Shu Ling has a marriage contract, and even privately took Shu Ling to see what official young people, that is simply wanton.
Xiangcheng County Shoufu, in the banquet pavilion of the back house, dressed in gorgeous costumes, the local fame with outstanding posture is talking and laughing during the banquet, several graceful maids are dancing in the music, the fair and tender skin, the slender and soft waist, and the towering crisp breasts exuding temptation make the male guests in the banquet nostalgic.
Outside the banquet pavilion, Yu was standing in front of the carved pillar of the courtyard with Chen Tingbi and Chen Shuling, Yu's smile was lovely, and he whispered to a forty-year-old woman in front of him in a soft voice, behind him, Chen Tingbi gently touched Chen Shuling with his elbow, but Chen Shuling glared at him angrily, but Chen Tingbi was not angry, and whispered in his ear: "Sister, don't be angry, my mother is also for your good, you see, that lady is Mrs. Cai, the sister of the Xiangcheng County Guard, and her son Qiao Fengye is the treasurer of the Xiangcheng County Guard, as for his father, it seems to be Bo Qiao Chonghe, the lord of the Xiangcheng County Guard." , I don't have to say anything about my family background, and I have seen this Qiao Fengye person, with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, an eight-foot body that is majestic and awe-inspiring, and quite temperamental..."
"Enough!" Chen Shuling said in a rough voice, because the voice was too loud, the guests next to him looked sideways, and the Yu family, who was talking to Mrs. Cai, was also stunned, Mrs. Cai looked at Chen Shuling, and said suspiciously: "Sister, I only heard that your daughter was virtuous and virtuous, gentle and elegant, but not like now, why is her temper so big?" ”
Yu Shi frowned and glanced at Chen Shuling fiercely, so that Hou Wei smiled and explained: "Sister misunderstood, Shuling likes to be quiet since she was a child, and she is very disgusted by this banquet and sacrifice, which is also my sister's lack of consideration, it is better to let your prince and my daughter go to a quiet and secluded place to meet each other, talk about admiring the moon, and see how fate is?" ”
