After a while, Xue Shao wandered into a weapon shop. Swords, bows, daggers, all these uncontrolled weapons.

The owner of the weapons shop was in his forties, slightly chubby, with three locks of long hair and a white dress. Seeing Xue Shao enter the store and glance at him dressed up like that, the shopkeeper pulled the guy away, personally greeted him and bowed his hand, "The door is full of distinguished customers, and the small store is not far away." ”

"The host is polite."

"I don't know what kind of weapon Lu Dao Langjun wants?" The shopkeeper took down a glass-decorated saber and handed it over, thinking that such a sword should be in line with the identity of the young man in front of him, and said: "This is the treasure of our store, Lang Jun, look at it, how about it?" ”

Xue Shao took it and took a look, it was beautiful, it was beautiful, and most of it was used by scholars for decoration. There are not half of the scholars in the Tang Dynasty who wear swords, and the courtiers and dignitaries also wear swords, which is a fashion.

"It's useless." Xue Shao returned the sword to the shopkeeper.

"Look at the knife again." The shopkeeper handed over a horizontal knife with a scabbard decorated in gold.

Xue Shao glanced at it, it was very beautiful and practical. Nowadays, the casting knife process of the Tang Dynasty is unique in the world, and the horizontal knife is the essence of the Tang knife, which was later transmitted to Japan, and they changed the blade into a "Japanese knife" as the quintessence of the country. The horizontal knife for both foot and riding was originally straight, and the blade was narrow and bright, like a work of art, which was a necessary assembly for the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty.

But Xue Shao already had several horizontal knives at home, and Yue Nu had bought them with calligraphy and painting antiques.

"I don't lack it." Xue Shao returned the horizontal knife to the shopkeeper and took out a piece of paper from his arms, "I want to customize these three unique blades." ”

The shopkeeper picked up the drawings and glanced at them, and couldn't help but wrinkle his eyebrows, "The small one is like a flying knife, and the big one is very weird, a bit like a Loulan scimitar, but it's not all like it." Here's the other thing...... But I've never seen it! ”

Xue Shao wanted to laugh, the tiger tooth saber and triangular military thorn used by the special forces of the Celestial Empire in the 21st century, you have seen a ghost!

"Ten sets of throwing knives, two for the others. Be sure to use the best materials and the best craftsmanship. How much does it cost? Xue Shao said.

"When will Lang Jun use it?" The shopkeeper knew that he had come to big business, and asked excitedly and cautiously.

"Today. Tomorrow at the latest. ”

"That can't be!" The shopkeeper hurriedly shook his head, "At least three days!" Although the thing is small, because it is a new style of ready-made object, it has to be repeatedly reheated and polished. The small shop has been doing business in Chang'an since the Sui period, and it has not fallen for three generations, relying on credibility. If you can't satisfy Lang Jun, you will smash the signboard of the shop! ”

"Three days, then." Xue Shao took out another drawing and gave it to him, "In addition, I have to customize a weapon like this." ”

"Crossbow?" The shopkeeper looked at the drawings, and his face changed on the spot, "Lang Jun, don't laugh, the small shop is doing serious business!" ”

The martial arts of the Tang Dynasty do not prohibit weapons, but they are only limited to "swords, bows, daggers, short spears", such as crossbows, armor, horse lances and Mo knives and other "heavy weapons", but they are strictly forbidden to control.

The two or three meter-long Da Mo knife is a kind of Tang knife, and it is extremely powerful. The Mo knife infantry of the Tang Dynasty faced the cavalry of the Hu people, and a large Mo knife went down to cut down a few pieces, how could such a weapon be privately cast by the people?

A crossbow is easier to shoot accurately than a bow. It takes a few years to practice bowing skills to be outstanding, but a crossbow is not used, even a good woman can shoot a strong man with a crossbow. Therefore, the crossbow is also a controlled weapon and is only used by the army.

The law of the Tang Dynasty clearly stipulates that for every crossbow in private possession, exile is one to two years.

Xue Shao didn't talk nonsense with him, took out a piece of gold cake and put it directly on the small copper scale on his counter, and when he lifted it, it was just one or two.

"It's a deposit." Xue Shao said, "I'll give you another piece after the matter is completed." If you are satisfied, there will be another reward! ”

Generous!

The shopkeeper's eyes were not only shining, but they were all round. This piece of gold cake is enough for 7,000 yuan, which is enough to buy more than three decorative swords known as the "treasure of the town store"!

Money talks.

Picking up the piece of golden cake, the shopkeeper swallowed his spit and whispered, "Lang Jun must not leak it, otherwise the shop really can't afford it!" ”

"At this time in three days, I'll pick up the goods in person!" Xue Shao said that he walked away.

The shopkeeper hurriedly walked towards the back door and said to the man, "You take care of the store, I'll go to the private shop now." This high-roller's weapon must not be sloppy at all, and I need to supervise the work myself! ”

It was just the middle of the day when he got out of the weapon shop, and Xue Shao felt a little hungry. There is a tea pot not far from the side that sells some tea and pastries and steamed buns, Xue Shao went over to tie up the horse and asked for a plate of big meat steamed buns and a bowl of old mutton bone soup, eat some at will, but just fill your stomach.

In terms of details such as food and clothing, Xue Shao, who is accustomed to military life, does not pay attention to it. However, the owner of the inn and the diners next to him were a little surprised to see such a well-dressed nobleman, leading a fine three-flowered horse to the small tea house for lunch, and some people squinted at him from time to time.

Xue Shao treated it indifferently, and said in his heart, who stipulated that the son and brother who rode a horse and wore brocade clothes must go to a luxury wine restaurant to eat? I call it performance art, you don't understand!

A moment later, an eleven or twelve-year-old girl walked outside the tea house, wearing a blue-gray right shirt that was directly on the instep of her feet. Her hair was a little messy, her complexion was burnt yellow, her lips were chapped, her big eyes were shining, and she walked to the middle of the tea house tremblingly with an old mottled pipa in her arms.

"Uncles, aunts, and sisters. The little woman is not a beggar, but she came to Chang'an to join her relatives but did not find anyone, and spent all her money and returned to her hometown. The little girl was very timid, and said this set of words as if an adult had taught her, and she plucked the strings of the pipa and trembled as she spoke, and then said, "The little girl has no strength, and can only play the pipa with one hand." Today, I will offer ugliness in the treasure land, I just hope that well-wishers can enjoy a steamed bun to eat! ”

The tea house is not big, and the people who come here to eat are either merchants and porters in the horse stalls, or ordinary people passing by. There are rich and poor people everywhere, and Chang'an is no exception. The small people of Shengdou themselves are not rich, and they probably have seen too many such beggars, so it is no wonder that they are lazy to take care of it, and the shopkeeper does not drive them away.

The little girl nervously plucked the strings and played, to be honest, not very beautifully, the tune was obscure and messy, and it was obvious that she was not very skilled.

Xue Shao finished eating the fourth steamed bun, and the little girl just finished playing a song. The diners simply ignored her as if she were air.

"Kind uncles, aunts, and sisters, please enjoy your stuttering!" The little girl pleaded carefully.

The shopkeeper stepped forward and said, "The small shop is a small profit, and it can't afford to support so many people who come to beg every day." You'd better try it elsewhere, don't disturb my guests. ”

The little girl fell to her knees and cried with tears: "Good Samaritan, please send me a kind heart and reward me with two steamed buns, my mother will starve to death!" ”

"Let's go, let's go!" The shopkeeper patted the little girl on the back, as if he was a little ruthless and wanted to blast her away.

The little girl hugged the shopkeeper's thigh, "Master, you can do it, I'll come to wash the dishes and sweep the floor and wipe the table for you every day in the future?" Please reward two steamed buns, my mother is really starving to death! ”

Xue Shao knocked on the table, "Little girl, come here." ”

As if she had grabbed a life-saving straw, the little girl crawled over with her knees on the ground and kowtowed to Xue Shao, "Please, reward me with two steamed buns!" ”

The forehead thumped.

"Get up." Xue Shao hurriedly held her up and wiped the brick ash on her forehead, but fortunately she was not injured. He said to the shopkeeper, "Master, wrap ten big meat steamed buns for this little girl, and count them into my account." ”

"Oh, okay!" The shopkeeper immediately agreed, and happily wrapped ten steamed buns and stuffed them into the little girl's arms, "Don't thank this Langjun for being a good man!" ”

The little girl knelt down gratefully, and kowtowed again, "Thank you, Brother Fairy!" Thank you, Brother Fairy! ”

"Brother Fairy?" Xue Shao held her forehead and couldn't help laughing, "Where is this slang name?" ”

"I don't know what to do. I just think that Brother Lang Jun is like a fairy in a painting, good-looking and compassionate! The little girl blinked with a pair of big black and smart eyes, "Kowtow to Brother Fairy!" ”

"Alright, hurry up." Xue Shao helped her up with a smile, and took a closer look, the little girl actually looks quite good-eyed, if she was born in a big family, and then dress up with delicious and delicious nutrition, she will be a beauty embryo in the future.

"Brother Fairy, you are such a good person!" The little girl looked at Xue Shao with tears in her eyes, bowed and saluted, "Good people have good rewards, and in the future, my mother and I will pray for the fairy brother every day!" ”

The little girl is very simple and well-behaved, and Xue Shao has a little pity and love in his heart. Pick up the money bag and pour out a stack of copper plates, about thirty of them, folded into a stack and put them on the table in front of the little girl, "Take the pawn plate and go back to the hometown with your mother!" ”

These more than 30 copper plates are not Kaiyuan Tongbao, but a new copper plate currency issued by the Tang Dynasty in recent years, called "Qianfeng Quanbao", one can be worth ten cents.

"I'm not a little beggar, I, I don't want money, I just need steamed buns to go back to my mother to eat!" The little girl held the pipa and steamed bun in both hands and shook her head again and again.

The diners next to him let out a low exclamation, looked at Xue Shao in surprise and discussed: "What a kind Langjun!" There aren't many rich and noble families like him now! ”

"This little girl is really not a beggar, well-behaved and filial, blame the pitiful!"

"Grab it, let's go!" Xue Shao stuffed the money into her little hand, "Didn't you say that your mother was already hungry?" Don't delay any longer. ”

"Silly boy, you met a living bodhisattva today, hurry up and accept the money and take your mother back to your hometown together!" The shopkeeper smiled and persuaded him.

The little girl burst into tears on the spot, plopped down and knelt down again, "Kowtow to the fairy brother!" ”.
