Chapter 292: Two Daggers
"Brother Qinglian, come and see this!" Zhu Qingqing beckoned to Yin Que not far away.
She stopped in front of a Hu merchant's shop, and seemed to see something of great interest.
"What's on your eye?" Yin Que came to her side and asked.
"Look at this." As she spoke, she picked up a slightly curved dagger, the dagger as a whole was made of unknown animal bones, it was very smooth to the touch, and the scabbard was also inlaid with a blue gem, and there was no other decoration on the entire knife body, and the entire dagger was six or seven inches in total, and the size was moderate and comfortable.
"Yunu, why do you like this?" Yin Que said and took the dagger, pulled it out and glanced at it, and then secretly said a good knife, the blade is smooth and smooth, the tip of the knife is in the shape of a drop of water, and the body of the knife is layer by layer of water ripples, which is integrated with a cold cold light, but the blade is surprisingly non-reflective.
"People are here for you, I see that you usually like those swords and swords, this knife is very beautiful, and it is a pair!" Zhu Qingqing said as he picked up another dagger of the same style from the side, but the gem inlaid on this dagger was red.
"Do you like it?" Yin Que asked Zhu Qingqing with a dagger, to be honest, even Yin Que himself couldn't put down this dagger.
"Well, I like it, don't you like Brother Qinglian?" Zhu Qingqing smiled and looked at Yin Que with the dagger in his hand.
Yin Que was a little embarrassed to be looked at, touched his nose in embarrassment and said, "Since Yu Nu likes it, then buy it, boss, how much is this pair of daggers?" Yin Que turned his head and asked the boss of Hu Shang.
This Hu merchant is a bearded man, and at first glance he is a businessman from a country in the Middle East, but he did not deceive because of Yin Que and Zhu Qing.
In ancient times, the word "integrity" was very heavy, although there were profiteers, but they were not as full of profiteers as they are now, but at that time businessmen were basically conscientious businessmen who paid attention to integrity.
When Hu Shang saw Yin Que asking for the price, he said: "Hello this handsome little Langjun, this dagger is worth thirty yuan." ”
Yin Que glanced at this bearded Hu Shang more, because his Chinese is really good enough, except for a little bit of Hu Yin, the other pronunciation and pronunciation are very clear and understandable, removing that little Hu Yin and appearance is completely no different from the Tang Dynasty.
"Thirty times! You won't put the boss, it's so expensive, you won't lie to us just because we're young! Yin Que said deliberately, because in his heart, these two daggers are more than thirty times, but it is better to be cheaper.
"What is Xiao Langjun talking about!" Hu Shang was immediately unhappy, "I have always paid attention to the word integrity in doing business, don't look at me as Hu Shang, but I dare to say that the whole Shuzhou City will be in the top three if I want to talk about the word integrity!" ”
"Okay~ Don't get excited, I'm not talking about your integrity, I want to say that your dagger is too expensive, I'm going to buy two of them, this is sixty yuan, is your knife a treasure knife?" Yin Que put down the dagger in his hand, feeling a little reluctant but unable to show it.
"These two are made by the hands of the great craftsmen of Persia, and they are made of the best Persian metals, and the iron is like clay." Qi Li said categorically.
The knife-making process of Datang at that time was the first in the world, and the Damascus steel refined by Persia was first transmitted in India, but after the improvement of Persia, both hardness and flexibility have been greatly improved.
Yin Que also knew that what this Hu Shang named Qi Li said was not a lie, although the smelting process of Persia had some shadows of the Tang Dynasty, their craftsman techniques were self-contained.
But Yin Que still said unrelentingly: "Boss, even if I believe your words, how did you get such a good sword?" I don't want to buy something that is stolen and unlucky. ”
"No, no! This is definitely not stolen goods, this is something I went to Persia to collect personally, there is a royal family in Persia who was demoted to a concubine, he sold it to me, and it is definitely not stolen goods. Qi Li patted his chest and said.
Yin Que nodded on the surface, but not only sighed secretly in his heart, the previous effort was in vain, looking at this Hu Shang's posture, he couldn't bargain, sixty guan, although the family is not bad for these money, but he is poor, the family only gives him sixty yuan of pocket money a month, and he also likes to dance and ink, this era of pen, ink, paper and inkstone is quite expensive, and this month is going to drink the northwest wind.
"Alas! Okay, I'll have these two daggers. Yin Que said helplessly.
"Wait a minute."
At this time, Zhu Qingqing, who was beside him, suddenly said, "Brother Qinglian, you buy this one." Zhu Qingqing stretched out his finger and pointed to the dagger studded with blue gems.
"Why?"
"Oh, you buy this, I'll buy this, and then you give me what you bought, and I'll give you what I bought, okay?" Zhu Qingqing's eyes flashed, and the little star pointed to the dagger with red gems and said.
Yin Que thought about it for a while, looked at Zhu Qingqing, whose eyes were full of anticipation, and finally nodded and said, "Okay, then Yiyunu you." ”
The two of them paid their own money, and then exchanged their daggers in front of Hu Shangqili, Yin Que had the red gem in his hand, and Zhu Qingqing had the blue gem in his hand.
Hu Shangqili smiled sincerely when he saw this scene, and said: "Xiao Langjun, I see that the relationship between you and this girl must be unusual, in our place, the exchange of daggers between men and women is meaningful, it is a token of love, I wish you to be united forever, may Allah bless you." Hu Shangqi stretched out his hand and nodded twice in the void, sending good wishes, which reminded him of the scene when he and his wife met.
After hearing Hu Shang's words, Zhu Qingqing's face turned red, and then she ran away with a dagger in her hand, and the maid hurriedly followed when she saw her young lady running away.
Yin Que thanked Hu Shang for his blessing, and then led Li San to chase in the direction of Zhu Qingqing.
The two talked and laughed all the way and soon came to the plum garden, at this time the sky was already a little dark, the plum garden was lit up around a lamp, under the shadow of the lights, the plum blossoms in the plum garden appeared extraordinarily delicate, and the grandeur of the head of the three friends of the year and the cold was unobstructed.
The people in the plum garden did not decrease due to the influence of the sky at all, but there were more and more people, most of them were talented and beautiful people, and some were parents who came to play with their children.
Although there is no poetry club today, but the talented and beautiful women still occupy the largest corner of the plum garden, although Yin Que has just been crowned for a few months, but his talent and reputation are indeed very big, there are too few talented and beautiful people in Shuzhou who do not know him, Li Taibai's name spreads very quickly among the talents of Shuzhou, not only has poetry, the writing is also outstanding, but also excellent martial arts, such a great talent is naturally very popular, of course, it is the welcome of women.
"Too white! Too white! This! Suddenly, a voice sounded, and Yin Que looked towards the source of the sound, it was a thin young man.
Yin Que smiled and pulled Zhu Qingqing over quickly.
"Why are you here too?" Yin Que said to the young man opposite.
"Hey, don't mention it, it's not my dad yet, you have to let me study at home, you also know that I'm sleepy when I study, so I sneak out to play." The skinny young man said. ……
