Chapter 129: Preparing for Marriage
He looked at it for a moment, and noticed that five bed crossbows were lined up on the outside of the bunker, all facing the clearing to the south. These bed crossbows were probably newly produced and used to train Zhai Xiaoshan's crossbowmen.
An Dalang thought about it and walked to the beach, estimating that Zhao Zizhong and the guards should train at the beach. After walking for more than ten minutes, he heard a loud noise.
An Dalang quickened his pace and came to the beach by the sea. In the distance, he saw dozens of people fighting fiercely. There is a phalanx next to it, and cohort training is underway.
He walked over and saw Zhao Zizhong holding his arms and watching the guards fight.
An Dalang asked: "Brother, these people are really fighting!" You see, some people can't move, it's a dead hand! ”
Zhao Zizhong turned around and said: "Training is to be close to actual combat, these are nothing. What are you doing here? How's the wedding going? ”
"As soon as I thought about those things, I had a big head, and I handed them over to Cui Zhaorong. Boss, give me some tasks, I really have nothing to do when I'm idle. ”
Zhao Zizhong shook his head and said, "You don't need to be here, you should be busy with marriage." Dalang, you're about to get married. It is not a manly act to take responsibility and not to avoid difficulties when you see them. ”
An Dalang said with some unhappiness: "Brother, I'm used to being careless, and I can't get those trivial things." Just spare me, I'd rather train with them than get married. ”
Zhao Zi glared at him again, "Hurry up and get out, you're going to get married tomorrow, is your house ready?" It's so hard to be in a cave room with other girls? ”
An Dalang patted his head, forgot about choosing a house, and hurriedly ran to the camp.
Back at the camp, he inquired about Hu Shuiyang's whereabouts, and finally found Lao Hu on the west side of the camp. This is a large construction site, Hu Shuiyang is directing the homeless people and craftsmen to build wooden houses, about hundreds of people are working together, the scene is very lively.
Seeing An Dalang, Hu Shuiyang hurriedly ran over and asked with a smile: "Dalang, what are you doing when you don't go to the construction site to prepare for the marriage?" ”
"Lao Hu, I have something to do with you."
An Dalang took Lao Hu to a place where there were few people, and said to him: "I want a house, Lao Cui asked me to find you, saying that you know that house is good, think about it quickly, help me choose one." ”
Hu Shuiyang thought for a while, raised his head and said: "There are not many empty houses now, there are too many displaced people who came last time, and most of the houses are full of people, and I am now leading people to work overtime to build houses." ”
An Dalang asked anxiously, "Is there really nothing?" Is it hard for me to go to a shack? ”
Hu Shuiyang smiled and punched him, "Can I let my brother live in a shack?" What are you anxious about, I haven't finished yet. Listen to me, I have left a few rooms next to the house of the mother of the head of the family, for your brothers. At that time, I was afraid that the old lady would be noisy with the people living there, so I didn't assign it. I want to keep it for your brothers, in case anyone gets married, they can live in it. ”
An Dalang was very happy, the house was close to the old lady's residence, so he could visit his stepmother every day. He pulled Hu Shuiyang and left, "Old Hu, you take me to pick a house, I want a house closer to the old lady." ”
Hu Shuiyang said helplessly: "Da Lang, you wait for a while, I will arrange the work and go with you." ”
An Dalang let go of him, Hu Shuiyang ran back to the construction site, explained a few words to a few craftsmen, and walked to the camp with An Dalang.
Back in the depths of the camp, they came to the vicinity of the old lady's quarters. Hu Shuiyang took An Dalang to see a few houses, and finally An Dalang picked a wooden house only ten meters away from the old lady's residence.
An Dalang was very satisfied, and walked around the wooden house a few times, looking at his house beautifully. Although it is a very simple wooden house, it is also my own home!
Hu Shuiyang asked: "Da Lang, what furniture do you want, I will take you to the warehouse to choose, and I guarantee that you will be satisfied." ”
An Dalang asked curiously, "Where did you get the furniture?" ”
"It was made by the carpenters, and the drawings were drawn by Mr. Wei and Mr. Du, and they were all new styles, and they said it was European style, and I didn't understand what it meant. But the shapes are very beautiful, and I am going to sell them in Mingzhou in the future. ”
An Dalang took out his passbook, handed it to Hu Shuiyang, and then said: "Lao Tzu is rich, you can collect as much as you want, I don't take advantage of it." ”
Hu Shuiyang looked through the passbook and said with a smile: "Da Lang, you are really rich!" Nine hundred, you're going to rob it? ”
"It's all given by the old lady, how can I have so much money."
Hu Shuiyang thought about it and said: "You put away the passbook first, the furniture has not yet been priced, and it will not be determined until the meeting." In this way, you pick some first, I will record it in the account, and when the price is set, I will ask you for money again. ”
An Dalang thought about it, "Okay, just do it." Take me there. ”
Hu Shuiyang took An Dalang to the woodworking workshop. On the way, they saw Fang Juniang and Wanqiu, the two women took a lot of things and walked slowly.
An Dalang went over to say hello and wanted to help them with their things. Fang Juniang asked, "Da Lang, why are you going?" Is the house ready? ”
An Dalang said: "It's ready, Lao Hu and I are going to choose some furniture." ”
Fang Juniang's eyes rolled, and she said again: "You are a big man, what kind of furniture will you choose?" Let's go with the women. ”
Wanqiu also said: "Ju Niang is right, men are careless, they must not be able to pick well, I will go to find Rong Niang, you wait here." ”
An Dalang has grown his mouth, this is okay! Wanqiu put down her things and hurried away. Fang Juniang chatted with the two and asked a lot about the wedding. An Dalang opened his mouth and stammered, everything was handled by Cui Zhaorong, and he couldn't answer at all.
Hu Shuiyang laughed a few words beside him, and Fang Juniang also counted An Dalang. At this time, Na Zhe walked over leisurely, followed by Wanqiu, she pulled Xia Rongniang and dragged her in front of everyone.
Xia Rongniang lowered her head and didn't speak. Na Zhe smiled and said, "Da Lang, I brought someone to you, how can you thank me?" ”
An Dalang looked at Xia Rongniang, who had a shy face, and smirked with a big mouth. Hu Shuiyang came out and said, "Let's go together, otherwise we will delay lunch for a while." ”
Wanqiu and Fang Juniang were on one side and caught Xia Rongniang. They took Xia Rongniang's arm and followed Hu Shuiyang.
The Zhe stabbed An Dalang, who was still stupid, and dragged him to follow everyone.
After a while, everyone came to the carpentry workshop. A large courtyard is fenced off here, and dozens of craftsmen are busy in it.
In the courtyard, a row of sheds with air on all sides was built, and the furniture that had been made was neatly placed inside.
Hu Shuiyang invited everyone to go in and choose, and everyone walked into the shed to look at the furniture carefully. Wanqiu and Fang Juniang pulled Xia Rongniang to watch one by one repeatedly, and they let out a burst of exclamation from time to time.
The style of these furniture is unique, similar to the European furniture of later generations. The three women were dazzled and loved every piece of furniture.
An Dalang looked at Xia Rongniang from the side, laughing stupidly. Na Zhe pushed him, "You idiot, go up and talk to other girls!" Do you still need me to teach you? ”
An Dalang scratched his head and asked stupidly, "Third child, what did I say?" ”
"Do you know how pigs die?"
"I was stabbed to death."
"No, it's stupid. Just like you. ”
An Dalang thought for a while, and then realized that Na Zhe was laughing at himself. But he was in a good mood and didn't care.
He happily walked to the three women, and when Fang Juniang saw him coming, she pulled Wanqiu away. also glanced at Xia Rongniang.
Xia Rongniang saw An Dalang, her face turned even redder, she lowered her head and rubbed the smooth surface of the furniture with her hands, and did not speak shyly.
An Dalang plucked up the courage and said: "Sister, as long as you look at the furniture, you can move it back, and I, I will buy it." You don't have to worry about money, I have a lot of them. ”
Xia Rongniang said in a low voice: "If you all move back, can the house be installed?" ”
An Dalang was stunned, and the heartless Zhe next to him laughed, so angry that Fang Juniang pinched him hard.
Na Zhe had no choice but to say: "Rong Niang, you can pick a few pieces of furniture that are beautiful and practical, my brother is not bad for money!" ”
An Dalang immediately said: "Yes, yes, it's not bad money, it's not bad money." Pick a few of your favorites. ”
Xia Rongniang raised her head and said, "Then I'll pick a few things that I can usually use, don't pick too many, it will be wasted." ”
Na Zhe stabbed An Dalang, squeezed his eyebrows and said: "Lao An, you see that this girl will live a good life, and she will really save you money." ”
An Dalang's mouth couldn't close when he smiled, and he beat it excitedly. Na Zhe howled like a pig, and several women covered their mouths and laughed when they saw this scene.
Wanqiu and Fang Juniang and Xia Rongniang selected furniture together, discussed for a while, and picked out a large wardrobe, a leather sofa, and a set of tables and chairs.
An Dalang looked at the sofa curiously and asked Na Zhe: "Third child, what kind of furniture is this?" I've never seen it before. ”
Na Zhe asked him to sit on the couch and feel it. An Dalang sat down and immediately stood up. He said suspiciously: "Why is this thing so soft, after people sit down, they all fall into it?" ”
The stinky fart said: "You dirt bun, this is called 'sofa', it is furniture from the West, I really don't know it." ”
An Dalang asked curiously, "What does 'sofa' mean?" ”
"It's the Western name, which means soft chair. The outside of this thing is cowhide, and the inside is wrapped in soft things such as feathers and horsehair. When you sit on it, you will feel very comfortable. ”
An Dalang sat down carefully, tried to change a few positions, and said excitedly: "It's really good, it's a good thing, this sofa is really good!" Third child, you guys are amazing! ”
