Chapter 14: Chen Lin is merciful

Chen Lin not only found a knife maker for Zhou Cang in Runan City, but also unexpectedly got fifty fifty steel-making knives every year, and he was in a good mood, and walked around the street with the two of them when he came out of the knife shop, feeling the prosperity of Runan City. Suddenly, Chen Lin's eyes lit up, but he saw a jewelry shop, thinking of his unmet wife, Zhang Ba's sister, Chen Lin was overjoyed, showed a gentle smile, and said to the two: "Go" and walked in. Zhou Cang also grabbed his head and glanced in, looking puzzled, Huang Yan saw this appearance, bumped Zhou Cang hard, and whispered: "The eldest young master wants to buy a fancy for his wife." "Huang Yan is referring to Chen Lin's mother, if she says Chen Lin's wife, then she should be called a young lady.

Chen Lin entered the jewelry shop and saw that each piece of jewelry was contained in a wooden box, which was placed in a place where he could see but could not reach it, or a hairpin or ring, and a small group of people were busy taking care of it. Chen Lin saw that these were ordinary goods, not necessarily very good, good things were usually put well, otherwise they would be a big loss if they were stolen. Chen Lin said to the little guy: "Show me some high-quality female jewelry" The little guy saw that Chen Lin was wearing Shu brocade clothes, and he must be a rich son.

The little guy took out the ladder, took out a few boxes on the highest floor and put them down, and helped Chen Lin open them: "Childe, please see, this is the most expensive, not a small big talk, there are not a few such things in Runan City." ”

Chen Lin had never bought these items, so he picked two of the most beautiful hostas and asked, "How much money?" In the end, Chen Lin spent 1,000 yuan to buy two pieces, and rewarded 10 yuan for the little guy, and left. The three of them walked around and saw that nothing good happened, so they went back to the inn to rest, just waiting for the knife tomorrow, and they could rush back to Anyang County before dark, stay in Anyang County for a night, and then return to the countryside the next day.

In the morning, Chen Lin called up Zhou Cang Huang Yan and the two early, Wu Yitong, Chen Lin got up early every day to dance the knife and get the gun has become a habit, and went back to the room to change clothes and read the book, in the inn three people ate ten catties of meat and a lot of food, then settled the account and led the horse, Chen Lin thought that there was nothing to do in this Runan, received the knife, and went back early, so he sent the hairpin to the Zhang family as soon as possible, I don't know how this Zhang family was born, and the candle night in the cave room on the day of the wedding, I am afraid that I will not see it. Chen Lin really regretted that he didn't go to give the bride price at the beginning, but he came back and heard his mother say how beautiful he looked, how dignified and virtuous, but he didn't see it.

Chen Lin finally saw what the eighty-pound Pu knife looked like, but it was much wider and thicker than the ordinary knife, seeing the man in the shop carrying the knife, Zhou Cang's eyes lit up, and he rushed up and grabbed the handle of the knife, that is, he struck twice, and said to Chen Lin with a big mouth: "Young master, make." Chen Lin was also happy to see this, but Chen Lin was not envious, Chen Lin was close to the people with the greatest strength in Zhou Cang, down to Lin An Zhang Ba, Chen Ze is also as powerful as a cow, but unfortunately he is still younger, Chen Lin took Zhou Cang's knife, played tricks, sighed secretly, and gave the knife to Zhou Cang, Chen Lin thought to himself, although he made such a heavy knife, but he couldn't move for thirty rounds, he couldn't move. glanced at Zhou Cang, who was about the same age as himself, and smiled helplessly.

Zhou Cang's knife can't be like Huang Yan and others' knives, there is a knife cover, which can be pinned to the waist, the old housekeeper obviously thought of this, and made a wooden sleeve for this knife very generously, and from then on Zhou Cang could only carry the knife and run around. Somehow, Zhou Cang was afraid of riding a horse, and said, "This horse has thrown me, won't it hurt so much." "Say nothing and don't ride a horse, everyone knows that it is Zhou Cang who carries a knife and walks quickly.

Chen Lin talked to the old housekeeper for a while, then took his leave, and the three of them went out of the city and looked at Anyang. The walk is not fast, just because Chen Lin knows in his heart, although this Zhou Cang is flying like a horse, but where is it really a horse, Zhou Cang can be faster than a horse in a short time, but not for long. Moreover, he is still carrying a broadsword of eighty pounds, and when he goes back, he must find a tall horse for him, and tie it to the horse. Alas, Chen Lin looked at Zhou Cang, who was unaware, and thought to himself that he not only had to make a knife for this brute bull, but also to find a horse.

When Chen Lin returned to Anyang, he did not go straight back to Chen's Mansion, but went to Zhang's Mansion first. Zhang Ba is at home, Zhang Ba has grown a lot now, and he is much more stable, Chen Lin is also happy, thinking that it is in vain to provoke him to invite his husband to study. Chen Lin talked to Zhang Ba for a while, and remembered that he wanted to give Zhang's hairpin, but it was difficult to speak, especially for Zhang Ba, the person who fought together at the beginning, he actually stood up. Zhang Ba was angry when he saw this: "Uncle Chen is full of pride in the past, why is he spitting up today, isn't he a man?" ”

Chen Lin blushed even more after hearing this, turned around and asked Huang Yan to take out a box, which was one of the two teams of hairpins, hurriedly stuffed it to Zhang Ba, stood up and said, "Give it to Sister Ru with me." After saying that, he ran out without saying goodbye. Zhang Ba was stunned for a moment, reacted, and laughed: "Hahahaha, Chen Bozhi also has the state of a child, and you are also shy, hahahahahaha." But he said that Zhang Ba was even happier than winning against Chen Lin.

Chen Lin heard this from afar, blushed, and hurriedly returned to Chen's mansion. In the evening, Chen Lin was in the study, only to see Zhang Ba muttering to find it, came to Chen Lin, and when the next person came out, Zhang Ba took out something from his sleeve and threw it to Chen Lin. With a reluctant face, he said, "My little sister called me because of this broken silk." "Probably Zhang Ba felt ashamed to give this little silk. Chen Lin didn't care, picked up the silk, but there was a smell of his daughter, knowing that it was Zhang's personal thing, he was happy in his heart, and hurriedly put it away. After thinking about it, he didn't care about Zhang Ba, he turned out a small piece of brocade cloth for writing, spread it out, picked up the pen and ink and wrote. Zhang Ba walked forward to look at it and thought:

Xianyun is clever, and Feixin spreads hatred.

Far away, the Milky Way is far away.

The golden wind and jade dew, a meeting.

The feet are small, and there are countless people in the world.

The Zhang family has a daughter, who has just grown up.

Tenderness is like water, and the best period is like a dream.

He Ren looked back, and the magpie bridge returned.

Filial piety and honesty, three years to return.

The two love each other, if it lasts for a long time.

How can it be in the morning, morning and twilight?

Chen Lin finished writing and looked at it with a smile. Zhang Ba was surprised: "Bozhi, I can't imagine that the writing is so brilliant and wonderful, so I don't want to stay with my sister." ”

The next day, Chen Lin visited his mother and went back to Chenjiabao in the countryside. Chen Lin returned to Chenjiabao and hurriedly told his grandfather about the harvest of Runan City. After listening to what Chen Lin said, there are really such craftsmen in Runan City, and Old Lady Chen said, "Maybe please come?" Chen Lin replied truthfully, the owner of the family is the master of the Shaofu of Yuzhou Mansion, and the old lady Chen sighed again and again and said: "If it is an ordinary family, the Chen family is willing to invite 20,000 taels of gold, this Yuzhou Shaofu, alas." Chen Lin was shocked, 20,000 taels of gold to buy a craftsman, but the Chen family's entire income in a year was less than 20,000 taels of gold, and Chen Lin finally realized the value of this exquisite craftsman.

Other families just use these craftsmen to sell for money, but Mrs. Chen thinks differently, that is, to save his life. In the troubled times, there will be no good guards, which can be done, of course, Chen Lin doesn't know what the old lady thinks.

After Chen Lin returned from Runan City, his life returned to calm, and he practiced martial arts and reading every day, and Old Lady Chen had to practice new fonts every day. Everyone didn't know about the new font, but every day they saw Chen Lin writing in a square grid with a pen dipped in water, and he insisted on it every day, and worked very hard.

Chen Lin was studying this day, but he didn't expect Zhang Ba to come, the two of them were messing around, Zhang Ba said to Chen Lin mysteriously: "My sister doesn't want to bring anything this time, as long as I bring a word, saying, 'What is the Milky Way, what is the Queqiao?' 'Uncle Chen doesn't know what kind of fortune it is, and he wants my sister as his wife. Chen Lin hurriedly replied, yes, yes. Chen Lin wrote on the brocade cloth again, but this time it was a lot, which probably means:

said that a long time ago, there was a young man in Chudi, who was diligent and capable, and his parents died when he was a child, and he was always bullied by his brother's wife and asked him to do a lot of heavy work. Because this guy is a cowherd baby, he is called a cowherd. The Weaver Girl Fairy in the sky fell in love with the Cowherd, so she stole down to the mortal world to marry the Cowherd. But it was discovered by the Queen Mother, so she snatched back the Weaver Girl, and the Cowherd went to pursue it, and the Queen Mother pulled out the hairpin on her head and waved her hand, forming a big river in the sky, called the Milky Way. The Cowherd and the Weaver Girl can only cry and weep on both sides of the galaxy. The loyalty of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl touched the magpies, and thousands of magpies flew to build a magpie bridge on the Milky Way, allowing the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl to meet on the magpie bridge. The Queen Mother was also helpless, but only allowed the two to meet at Queqiao on the seventh day of July every year.

Later, on the seventh day of the seventh month of July, according to legend, when the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl met on the bridge, the girls of Chu came to the moon before the flower, looked up at the sky, looked up at the sky, looked for the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl in the sky, and hoped that they could get a satisfactory marriage.

After Zhang Ba left, Chen Lin was distraught and had no intention of studying, so he went to find Huanglong to practice equestrianism. Chen Lin's equestrian skills are far inferior to his own martial arts, but he saw Huang Long and Zhou Cang in the martial arts, and when Chen Lin appeared, he could only see Zhou Cang holding the ground with both hands, sitting on the ground panting, and the eighty-pound big knife was thrown aside. Huang Long stood not far away with a knife, and Chen Lin only heard Huang Long say: "You have all your strength, and your martial arts are good, why are you so embarrassed, it is because you don't know how to use it, you don't think about flexibility, you only know brute force." Zhou Cang, you kill this ant and take a look with me. Huang Long pointed to the ants on the ground and said to Zhou Cang.

Zhou Cang was already angry when he lost to Huanglong, but this time he was even more angry, he stretched out his iron fist and smashed it on the ground, and the ground was recessed, but the ants were fine, Zhou Cang smashed it a few times in a row, and his face was red with anxiety. Chen Lin looked funny and didn't make a sound. Huang Long said: "Look at me" Chen Lin saw Huang Long stretch out a little finger and twist the ants on the ground, and several died. Turning his head to Zhou Cang, who was stunned, he said: "This is the ability to use skills, and winning is not only by martial arts and strength, but also by strategy." After speaking, he didn't care about Zhou Cang, and went back to the house, Chen Lin saw this, and quietly got up and didn't disturb Zhou Cang.

Before, Old Lady Chen said to Chen Lin how Huanglong was, Chen Lin just felt that Huanglong was good at martial arts, and today's matter, Chen Lin knew more about Huanglong. It was also at this time that Chen Lin decided to enter Beijing the following year, without taking anyone with him, and all of them stayed here to accept the training of the chief butler and Huang Long.
