Chapter 3: Childe Goes Out (1)
Chen Guojiang Prefecture is located on the Yangtze River, across the river from the Northern Qi Dynasty, and is one of the strategic places.
However, Chen Guo's rune master may not know where the yamen of Jiangzhou Mansion is, but he must know that there is a manor three miles outside the city, called Liujiabao.
Liujiabao is a magnificent mansion, built along the river, with an estimated 200 rooms.
There is a flagpole on each side of the wall on both sides of the main entrance, and a large "willow" character is written in black pen on the flag with a light green background and dark red edge.
The main entrance is a black-lacquered gate that opens to the south. The door is inlaid with a fist-sized copper nail, which looks resplendent and extraordinary. The plaque on the top of the door reads "Liujiabao" four gold lacquer characters.
There are three things in Liujiabao, which are well known to the rune master of the Chen Kingdom, and they can be called the three uniques.
The first is that the owner's ability to do business and manage money can be called a must in Jiangnan.
As early as thirty years ago, the former Baozhu bought all the enchantment rune manufacturing craftsmen in Jiangnan, and now Chen Guo's rune master can only buy enchantment runes from "Liujiabao".
The second is Liujiabao's "Lost Soul Curse", which can be called a unique rune in Jiangnan and is considered to be one of the few instantaneous runes.
Instantaneous runes are as fast as lightning, capable of hitting opponents and summoned beasts in the shortest possible time, and even intercepting spell runes.
The third is Xu Manrong, the wife of the current lord of Liujiabao Fort, who was known as the "first beauty in Jiangdong" when she was young, not only good at piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but also proficient in rune refining.
The enchantment runes she refined were very exquisite, and they were like appreciating a beautiful picture scroll when used, and they were a sought-after item among the scribes, no matter how much they refined, they were in short supply.
At this moment, the main gate of Liujiabao opened, and there were five people in the front yard behind the main gate, each riding a yellow-maned horse, ready to go out.
The first man was about forty years old, wearing a black cloth hat, a mustache, a purple coat, and a pipe and tobacco pouch pinned to his waist.
The four people in the back were all dressed in earthy yellow, and each of the four people had a black cloth bag under their crotch, and the bag was full of all kinds of runes that had been manufactured.
Suddenly, there was the sound of horses' hooves from behind them, and a man and a horse came running, only to see that the horse's whole body was red, just like the red rabbit BMW under Guan Gong's crotch back then, and the Mahler stirrups were made of sterling silver.
Riding a horse was a handsome young man, about twenty years old, dressed in white clothes and white trousers, with a black belt around his waist, and a circle of nail-like ornaments on his belt that seemed to be made of pure gold, shining golden in the sun, and a piece of jade around his waist.
The young man shouted, "Steward Xue wait for me, I will go with you." ”
Hearing the boy's call, the five immediately dismounted and stood respectfully beside the horse.
The person wearing the purple coat was Steward Xue, and he immediately replied: "Young Fort Lord, Jiangxia County is the junction of our Northern Qi and Northern Zhou Dynasty, and it is almost a day's journey from here. ”
The boy said, "I know, I just want to go out and stay for one night." ”
Steward Xue hesitated for a moment and said with a slight embarrassment: "This ...... The castle lord didn't tell me about it. ”
The boy said impatiently, "Are you annoyed? I can go if I want, what's the matter with my father? ”
Steward Xue immediately clenched his fists and said, "The young castle master is right, but this transportation rune is a chore, and the subordinates are all sending it." If the young castle lord feels bored and wants to change his mood, it is better to let Ade accompany you to the Confucius Temple next to Jiangzhou Mansion to listen to the big play, and then go to the Xunyang Building to eat some side dishes and drink some wine, and look at the lively scene by the river, wouldn't it be more interesting. ”
The young man said impatiently: "There are only those two hundred and eighteen dishes in Xunyang Building, and I am tired of eating them." The dramas of Confucius Temple are dozens of plays over and over again, and I am tired of hearing them. I just wanted to go out and look around. ”
Knowing that the young castle lord wanted to go far away, someone immediately reported to the castle lord's ears.
At this time, a man who led the horse said to the young man on the horse: "Young castle master, the castle lord and his wife are here. ”
The young man dismounted and turned around and said, "Father, Mom, why are you here?" Let's let the kids go with them this time! ”
A middle-aged man was wearing a white placket with a straight collar and a green patch inside, and this person was Liu Chenxing, the current owner of Liujiabao.
He said: "The location of this delivery is Jiangxia County, you have never been to such a far place since you were born, your mother can rest assured." ”
The young man said to the woman next to him wearing a hosta, a beautiful face, a pink satin jacket, and a pink silk skirt: "Mother, you just let the child go, my grandfather began to walk the rivers and lakes at the age of sixteen, and I am almost nineteen now." ”
This woman is Xu Manrong, who was called "the first beauty in Jiangdong" when she was young, but now she is Mrs. Liu.
She said to the young man, "Jade Dragon, it would have been okay to let you go, but you never spent the night outside the castle. Last time I took you to my grandfather's house, it was fine during the day, but at night you couldn't sleep at the inn, and you were noisy to go back to Liujiabao, but we were all woken up and rushed back overnight. ”
The boy became even more impatient, and begged with tears and annoyance: "Oops! What are you doing with these old sesame seeds and rotten tofu in the past, I was only fourteen years old at the time, and I was not sensible, and now I won't! ”
Xu Manrong still shook his head and said: "You must not be used to living in the inn in Jiangxia County, and besides, the world is not peaceful now, and it is not easy to go far." ”
The young man said in a pleading voice: "Jiangxia County is only half a day's road from here, as long as we hurry up, we will be able to arrive an hour before dark, even if I really can't sleep in the inn, I can not sleep all night." Once you enter Jiangxia County, you don't have to worry about those bandit road tyrants, and even if I encounter evil bandits, I won't kill them to the ground? ”
Steward Xue immediately complimented: "Yes, yes, these young castle lords have taught the ruffians in Jiangzhou City a lesson, and now those scoundrels are scared when they see our young castle lords." ”
This young man is the son of Liu Chenxing, the lord of Liujiabao Fort, and Liu Yulong, the lord of Shaobao.
As soon as Liu Chenxing heard that his son used the rune technique to teach those ruffians and hooligans, isn't this overkill and a knife for killing chickens? He touched his beard and said: "There are many masters in the world, and a mountain is higher than a mountain, how can it be compared to those scoundrels?" ”
Liu Yulong said: "Daddy is very right. ”
Liu Chenxing said again: "But the most important thing in walking the rivers and lakes is to talk about the word 'reason', as long as we don't mess with others, others will naturally not find us trouble." If someone is really not interesting and looking for trouble, as long as the Liujiabao brand is displayed, most people will give back three points. If you encounter some scoundrels and bandits, I am really not afraid with my son's mana, plus there are Steward Xue and a few nurses, it should not be a big problem. ”
Mrs. Liu asked, "You mean to let the nursing home accompany Yulong on a trip?" ”
Liu Chenxing nodded and said: "Yes, we are also slowly getting old, Liujiabao will be handed over to Yulong in the future, everything has the first time, let him go to familiarize himself with it, and know how we do rune business." ”
