Li Zaixing carried the big pole and came to Mrs. Qiuguo's mansion again, followed Pei Xuanqing through the vestibule, and Pei Xuanqing turned west. Li Zaixing saw a group of craftsmen in the atrium busy demolishing the brand-new building.

Li Zaixing is very strange, why do you want to demolish this good house?

Pei Xuanqing pursed his lips: "It's nothing, it's just that someone's house exceeds this one." ”

"Because someone has overtaken it, it will be demolished and rebuilt?"

"Of course, Madame wants the best." Pei Xuanqing glanced at him and said meaningfully: "Whether it is people or things, idle people can't get into her eyes." If it weren't for Brother Li's superb martial arts, I wouldn't dare to recommend it to her. ”

Li Zaixing was speechless, and asked casually: "How much does it cost to build another house like this?" ”

"I don't know the specifics, but I guess it shouldn't be less than 100,000."

Li Zaixing estimated in his heart how much 100,000 guan was, and was suddenly stunned, and his eyes widened: "100,000 guan?" ”

"yes, what's wrong?"

Looking at Pei Xuanqing's blank look, Li Zaixing couldn't control his anger. A penny in this year is equivalent to a dollar in later generations, 100,000 guan is 100 million, spend 100 million, just to compete for the first? What made him even more angry was that he remembered what the prince said that the cost of the border army of the Tang Dynasty was now 145 million.

Mrs. Qiu Guo renovated a house, and the money spent was one percent of the military expenses of the border army?

"This ...... It's too expensive, right? ”

Pei Xuanqing understood wrongly, and said with a smug smile: "It's not expensive, the materials used are the best, you look at those beams, which one is not transported from Jiannan and Lingnan all the way, and even some from overseas, are rare good trees." ”

"And all the wood that was dismantled and thrown away?"

"Useful to keep, but there must be a lot to be scrapped." Pei Xuanqing smacked his lips regretfully.

Li Zaixing's heart was suddenly moved, he still lacked a good wood to make a gun barrel, and he might be able to find a suitable one in these discarded wood. Al Maidi has always used an iron gun, which is very inconvenient for her to practice the internal marksmanship, and when she faced Pei Xuanqing two days ago, she couldn't give full play to the beauty of the internal marksmanship, so she was restrained by Pei Xuanqing.

Hearing Li Zaixing's thoughts, Pei Xuanqing laughed: "If you satisfy your wife, it doesn't matter if you find a suitable piece of wood for you, why bother looking for these wastes." Let's go, don't keep Madame waiting. ”

Li Zaixing felt justified, and followed Pei Xuanqing around the west courtyard and came to the backyard. Mrs. Qiu's Mansion is five deep, and according to the system, it must have been overstepped a long time ago, but Mrs. Qiuguo is favored, and no one dares to come to her for trouble. The middle two entrances are being renovated, but they do not affect the backyard, and even the sound of the construction site is not very clear.

Mrs. Qiu Guo is admiring the flowers in the backyard, and the focus is of course on the pot of Buddha soil leaves. He has already heard Pei Xuanqing introduce that this flower is a Buddha soil leaf, which was paid tribute by Kinder Kingdom, and Datang is the only pot. And the flower pot is also very valuable, and it is actually the legendary secret color porcelain.

Secret color porcelain often appears in Tang poetry, is known as the best in porcelain, later generations have been difficult to see the true face, until the opening of the underground palace of Famen Temple, people can be regarded as seeing the true face of secret color porcelain. Even in the Tang Dynasty, the secret color porcelain was a rare high-quality, but I didn't expect it to be used as a flower pot in Mrs. Qiu's house, and it was such a huge volume.

Perhaps it is cheaper to use a gold basin or a jade basin than a secret color porcelain.

Li Zaixing somewhat understood why the prosperous Tang Dynasty could not afford the war against Tibet. Because most of the wealth has been squandered by these powerful people. Mrs. Qiu's mansion, even if it is not worth 10 million yuan, it is at least 5 million yuan, which is equivalent to one-third of the military expenditure of the Tang border army. And there are seven or eight brothers and sisters in the Yang family, which together are worth two or three years of military spending.

Beside Mrs. Yu Guo stood a middle-aged woman who looked a little similar to her, and the two were talking and laughing in a low voice, in a very intimate manner. On the side, there was a young man talking to two young girls, one of them was covered with her mouth covered and laughed wildly, and the other girl in green shirt was also smiling, but quiet as a flower. The young man was about to speak, when he saw Li Zaixing, Al Maidi and Guan Pei Xuanqing walking in, his eyes couldn't help but light up, his eyes stayed on Al Maidi's face for a moment, and his brows frowned slightly.

"Don't laugh, the person you want to see is here." The young man said to the girl in the yellow shirt.

"Really?" The girl in the yellow shirt immediately suppressed her smile, and turned her eyes in the direction of Li Zaixing, her face was still flushed, but she was much more dignified.

Taking advantage of these few steps, Pei Xuanqing introduced a few people. Standing side by side with Mrs. Yuguo was her eldest sister, Mrs. Han, who was married to the Boling Choi clan and lived in the northwest of Anyifang. The girl in the yellow shirt was her daughter, who had just recently been engaged to King Quang Binh. If the crown prince can successfully ascend the throne, King Quang Binh, as the eldest son, has the opportunity to become the crown prince, and she will become the crown princess. Like Liu Tan, the eighth sister of the concubine, who married the prince's daughter, this is all an attempt by the Yang family to repair the relationship with the prince, but it is still unclear whether it will have an effect.

That young man is Pei Wei, the son of Mrs. Qiuguo, who is currently in the palace, belongs to the palace province, and is from the five grades. The girl in the green shirt was the daughter of Mrs. Qiuguo, who was married to the son of Li Xian, the elder brother of the Son of Heaven.

Li Zaixing sighed with emotion, Pei Hui looks like he is in his early twenties, but he is already listed as a five-grade official, which is a hurdle that many people can't cross in their lifetime. What did he rely on, it was not the Son of Heaven's favor for Yang Guifei, if it weren't for this reason, even if he was born in the Pei family in Hedong, it would be impossible for him to have such achievements at such an age.

Under the guidance of Pei Xuanqing, Li Zaixing stepped forward to salute, Mrs. Yu Guo and Mrs. Han glanced at each other, I don't know what to remember, Mrs. Yu Guo laughed out loud. She walked over and said in a manly voice, "Brought the gun today?" ”

Li Zaixing remembered his misunderstanding, and was a little embarrassed, so he hurriedly hugged the big pole in his arms and bowed his hand: "Mrs. Mingjian, this is the weapon below, in fact, it is not a gun, it is just a wooden pole." ”

Mrs. Yu Guo glanced at the barrel of the gun, which was very thick at the root but very thin at the tip, and was a little surprised: "This ...... Is it also considered a gun, and how does it look like a soft one? ”

"What Madame said is very true, if the marksmanship is different from the common marksmanship, the gun used is also different."

"Oh, what's the difference?" Mrs. Qiu Guo became interested and beckoned: "Sister, Hui'er, you all come and take a look." ”

Pei Hui and the two girls came over and looked at Li Zaixing with interest. Li Zaixing took a step back, gave Al Maddy a look, and said, "Madam, please allow my maid Al Maidi to demonstrate marksmanship for Madame." ”

"It turned out to be an orchid." Mrs. Qiuguo's eyes flickered and she nodded.

Al Maddy stepped forward with a gun, set up a posture in the open space, and demonstrated the 24-way Yang family marksmanship passed on to him by Li Zaixing. Although Al Maddy is slim, heroic, and full of exotic atmosphere, this marksmanship is really not pleasant to the eye. Because Li Zaixing's practice is actual combat marksmanship, one move and one technique is extremely simple and practical, unlike the kind of good-looking spears circling back and forth, even for the Tang Dynasty martial arts that advocate simplicity, this is too simple.

Fortunately, Li Zaixing had long expected this situation, and after Al Maidi's performance, when everyone was at a loss, Li Zaixing obtained the consent of Mrs. Qiu Guo and conducted a very ornamental demonstration.

He made Al Maidi stand with his back to him, his hands outstretched, one citrus in his palm and one on the top of his head, and in the eyes of everyone, he shot like lightning, and almost instantly, he stabbed three citrus on the tip of the spear.

"Wow-" The girl in the yellow shirt covered her mouth and exclaimed.

Mrs. Yu Guo was also shocked that her apricot eyes widened, this citrus was only the size of a child's fist, and the skin was extremely tough, and she might not be able to poke it with a gun if she stood firm, but Li Zaixing hit it with a blow, and the spear stabbed the citrus in the middle. But he used the soft-looking wooden pole, and he didn't see him particularly aiming, it seemed to be just a random stab.

"Madame Mingjian, the marksmanship practiced in the following place is actual combat marksmanship, and there is no fancy in any way, and it may look a little boring."

"No, no, it's a great marksmanship." Mrs. Qiu Guo praised.

"Yes, it's amazing." Mrs. Korea also bowed her head and praised.

"I can't see it, you two don't know how long you've been practicing to perform like this, right?" The girl in the yellow shirt suddenly walked in, picked up two citrus fruits in the fruit bowl, and looked at Li Zaixing defiantly: "If I come to make a gun target, can you still do it?" ”

Li Zaixing looked at the girl, and said in his heart, this is the future princess of King Guangping? This is a bit fierce, the prince is a wilted goods, and the king of Guangping is probably not much better, can you get this female man?

"Don't mess around!" Mrs. Han was taken aback and sank her face: "This is unacceptable." Swords and guns have no eyes, in case they hurt you, but how can it be good. ”

The girl in the yellow shirt pursed her lips, ignored her mother's scolding, and held the citrus in her palm by herself, but did not turn away, and looked at Li Zaixing with a smile: "If you can still stab like just now, no matter what you want, I can satisfy you." If you stab me or even hurt me, I don't think you will make it out alive today. Do you dare? ”

Li Zaixing was silent, and Mrs. Han was anxious, and shouted: "Zhao'er, don't mess around, this is not a joke." ”

Mrs. Qiu Guo also rushed over and stopped her in a loud voice. Pei Hui and the girl in the green shirt even stepped forward to pull the girl in the yellow shirt, but the girl in the yellow shirt refused to give up, and was pulled by the girl in the green shirt and still refused to leave.

Just as they were pulling, Li Zaixing suddenly jumped forward, and the big pole in his hand stabbed out like lightning. Everyone only felt a flower in front of them, and couldn't help but be shocked, and when they came back to their senses, they only watched Li Zaixing slowly take off the two citrus that had been pierced from the big pole, and smiled at the stunned yellow-shirted girl: "Thank you little lady for your cooperation, can my marksmanship still be in your eyes?" ”
