Chapter 72 (4) The Cowhide Dealer
"Master, you are here, Mr. Xiong and Mr. Ma had a misunderstanding just now, and we are persuading us. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info" Hou Sanbi said respectfully and stepped aside.
"Yuan Ye is fine." Xing Mazi stepped forward and arched his hand, he recognized that this fat man was Yuan Zuo, and hurriedly stepped forward to say hello.
"It turned out to be Brother Xing," Yuan Zuo also arched his hand, "Is the iron master still healthy?" ”
"Thanks to Yuan Ye's blessing, Brother Tie has been doing well recently, but there are some things that can't be separated from him recently, so let the humble come to greet Yuan Ye for him."
It turned out that this person was Yuan Zuo, Shi Suo quietly looked at the side, this person was full of red light, handsome and elegant, quite not like a fifty-year-old person, with two iron balls twisted in his hands, looking like a rich man.
At this time, the old bear lying on the ground had already climbed up, his face was full of embarrassment, and Yuan Zuo said: "Hou San, you go and take the old bear to rest." ”
"Yes." Hou San agreed, bowed slightly to Lao Xiong, made a "please" gesture, and walked with him in the distance. Yuan Zuo never looked at the old bear covered in dirt, and said to Xing Mazi: "Brother Xing, how about going to the inner room with me?" ”
Xing Mazi is just a "representative" sent by Tie Million, and he is not qualified to meet with the master, but Tie Million's brothers are numerous, famous, and servants are noble, so he is looked down upon everywhere. He bowed slightly, "Xie Yuanye, Xing obeyed orders." ”
Shi Suo followed behind Xing Mazi, followed Yuan Zuo through the streets and alleys, and came to a large mansion, this house was built on a high platform, climbed up through a stone path, from the outside, in the courtyard surrounded by stone walls, there were about 20 rooms, compared to the ordinary rich people in the countryside, it still looked shabby, but each house was built with huge stones, it looked extremely solid, and most of the stones of the courtyard wall were several feet long and wide. It makes people look at it with a unique feeling.
"Please," Yuan Zuo let Xing Shi and the others into the courtyard. Shi Jian couldn't help but look at these huge stones used to build the house, and said that when the house was built, it must have hired several strong men to move such a large stone, but it is very rare to use such a huge stone as a building material.
Entering the backyard, I saw a shirtless person, who was practicing martial arts, this person was strong, the muscles on his arms were knotted, holding a long knife, slashing horizontally and vertically, quite powerful, seeing Yuan Zuo leading outsiders in, he stopped the knife in his hand, bowed his head, and turned around and walked into the house.
Shi Suo is an expert in practicing martial arts, he glanced at the knife skills practiced by this person twice, and felt that although the moves were ordinary, they were quite practical, without a single star and a little bit of fancy, but they were accurate and ruthless, each knife went straight to the enemy's vital point, and the footsteps and knife momentum were aggressive, but these knives were more than fierce, but the flexibility was insufficient, when Jiang Yuniang taught martial arts, he repeatedly emphasized the combination of rigidity and softness, in order to be at ease, and this person's martial arts were incompatible with these truths, and Shi Suo felt that this person practiced knives, posture and footwork were a little weird, It's very different from what I usually see, but I can't think of what the fault is.
"Is this man from the house?" Stone Lock asked.
His identity is Xing Ma's entourage, and he was not qualified to ask the master questions, but Shi Suo was straightforward, so he blurted out. Yuan Zuo glanced at him and said, "He is also my guest, his name is Wang Hai, and he will practice martial arts in the courtyard if he has nothing to do." ”
Entering the living room, the guests sat down, and what was surprising was that the floor in the room was not paved with ordinary square bricks, but huge stone slabs, probably because of the age, the stone slabs were polished very smooth and shining. Xing Mazi said with a smile: "Gong Yuan, these houses you built are simply very majestic, and with such a big boulder wall, it looks like the true color of the martial arts." ”
"Haha, my brother praises it, these houses are hundreds of years old, and they have been handed down from their ancestors. It is said that Queen Yuan was a heroine among women, a superman in martial arts, and there was a female barracks under her command, all of whom were strong in martial arts, and the martial arts in the village were extremely strong, and these boulder houses were built. ”
His explanations are far-fetched, Shi Suo couldn't help but shake his head slightly, women's martial arts are strong, it is not unusual, but it doesn't seem to have much to do with the stone that builds the house, can Queen Yuan's female soldiers also be the stonemason craftsmen who build the house?
Xing Mazi took out a box from his arms, opened it, took out a jade Ruyi from the box, and put it on the table, "Yuan Gong, the iron master got this gadget a few days ago, according to the expert evaluation, it is still genuine, please smile." ”
"Thank you Iron Master, thank you brother." Yuan Zuomei smiled, took the jade Ruyi, and put it in front of his eyes to watch, the jade color is white with green, the color is mild, and the carving is fine. It looked very beautiful, Yuan Zuo took the box, saw that there was a bronze thick paper in the box, and said with a smile: "That's right, there is an appraisal certificate, it is complete." "I took out the piece of paper and saw that it read: Northern Song Dynasty Longshan Jade Ruyi. Appraiser: Hu Xuan.
"Well, Master Hu's personal experience." Yuan Zuo nodded with satisfaction.
Shi Suo smiled secretly in his heart, now Hu Xuan often makes some small jade, as a "diplomatic" supplies, there are real and false in these things, anyway, ordinary people can't see it.
"Yuan Gong, this time you celebrate your birthday, there are a lot of friends from all walks of life." Xing Mazi quickly cut to the chase, "Everyone is lively, which also seems auspicious." You've traveled all over the world and made so many friends, and it's a great occasion like never before. ”
Yuan Zuo shook his head, "Cough, it's lively, these crooked guys, it's really not like words, you also saw it just now, old bears, horses and monkeys, they actually used knives and guns, and ran around the village, alas, don't talk about them." ”
"It's true, they have hatred and grudges, and they shouldn't come to the village to spread wildness, when you celebrate your birthday, you have to restrain a little, how can you blindly make trouble, Yuan Gong, do they usually have hatred?"
Yuan twisted the iron ball in his left hand, there seemed to be a melancholy look on his face, and he shook his head gently, "There is no hatred, in fact, you shouldn't come to Yuan Houzhai to seek revenge and make trouble, but these friends on the rivers and lakes are used to being rude, and I don't care about some small disputes." You have also seen that every house in the village is closed because of these friends in the rivers and lakes, making trouble and harassing the people, making everyone in the village angry......"
Xing Mazi said with a smile: "It's not a big deal, if it's a big trouble, send someone to persuade them, and it's fine." ”
Yuan Zuo continued to shake his head, "It's not just that simple, what I didn't expect is that they are going to have a secret meeting in the quarry outside the stockade tonight, although they pretend to be fine, but in my stockade, can they not let me see the clues?" ”
"Rallies? What will be gathered? ”
"Alas, it's just to join forces and oppose me together."
Xing Mazi was surprised, "No, Yuan Gong, you put on a birthday banquet, you are willing to come to cheer, be a friend, if you don't want to come, just don't come, and you won't come to the village to deliberately make trouble, right?" Besides, Yuan Houzhai is not muddy, there are a few mischiefs, just send someone to blast out. ”
"It's not that simple," Yuan Zuo stood up and paced a few steps around the house, his face even more melancholy, "Brother Xing, I won't tell you, if you only live for fifty years with a foolish brother, I wouldn't want to set up any banquets, so I spread the invitation and invite these friends from the three mountains and five mountains to the village.
