Chapter 274: Borrowing a Sword
Pushing open the door of the house next door, Zheng Fan saw the sword maid squatting there and planting vegetables.
Although the courtyard of the house is not as big as the big house, after all, it is the house next door to the Earl's Palace, and it also has a curved wall.
At the same time, there is an extra chicken coop here, and three chickens are patrolling with their heads held high.
And Juggernaut,
Sitting on the bench in the center of the field, he was sharpening the wooden sword, and next to the stool, there were already more than a dozen wooden swords that had begun to take shape, but these could only be regarded as rough blanks, and they would have to be carefully carved with lines later, and there were some strips of fine cloth next to them, obviously, they had to hang tassels.
"What is this?"
The Sword Saint raised his head, glanced at Zheng Fan, and said:
"The big tiger can be taken to the school house to sell, it is not expensive, but it can subsidize the family."
"Oh."
Uncle Zheng glanced around, but didn't see the second bench, so he immediately walked behind the sword maid, stretched out his foot, and kicked lightly.
"Bring me a stool."
The sword maid was squatting there to grow vegetables, but she didn't expect Uncle Zheng to really dare to get on her feet, so she knelt in the mud with a "poof".
But she didn't say anything, got up, patted the dust on her knees, and went in and moved a stool for Uncle Zheng and put it in front of her.
subsequently
She squatted there again and prepared to plant vegetables.
This stool is a bit high, Uncle Zheng put the stool down on its side and sits, almost "level" with the Sword Master.
"Tea."
The sword maid rolled her eyes, but she still got up, took a sea bowl, poured some hot water, brought it over, and handed it to Zheng Fan.
This time, she didn't rush to plant vegetables, but stood next to her.
Uncle Zheng took a sip of water and said:
"Dim Sum."
"Not at home." The sword maid replied.
"Go buy it."
"No money."
"Just say I'm going to eat."
"Okay, but I'll get more."
All the foreshadowing in the snow customs is the property of the Earl's Court, and Uncle Zheng wants to eat, where is the reason to give money.
"Done."
The sword maid walked to the water tank at the door, pulled out half a scoop of water, washed her hands, wiped it clean, put her hands in her pockets, and swaggered out.
Juggernaut was patiently carving the wooden sword from beginning to end.
Uncle Zheng asked, "What about the big tiger?" ”
"In the schoolhouse."
"Where's my sister-in-law?"
"In the workshop."
"Where's Grandma?"
"Sweep the floor in the backstreets."
After answering,
The Sword Saint raised his head with some curiosity, and then his face showed a look of enlightenment, and said, "Oh, you didn't let people inquire in advance this time. ”
In the past, Uncle Zheng only came to visit the door when there was no one in the Sword Saint's family.
"If you want to come, you'll come."
Originally, I thought that Shatuo Que Shi had woken up, but who knew that it was empty, and after being disappointed, Uncle Zheng came to the Sword Saint.
"I heard that you kidnapped a princess back in the Chu Kingdom?"
"Well, Ming'er brought it to you."
The Sword Saint shook his head and said, "No, I can't afford to give a meeting gift." ”
"Isn't it divided?"
"Familiar?"
"With whom?"
"And her."
"It's pretty much the same, in fact, the courtesy is light and affectionate, and she doesn't care about anything expensive, after all, she hasn't seen anything small?
I see, just send a wooden sword. ”
"Okay, then I'll carve a female sword alone."
"The sword is still divided into male and female?"
"Isn't it all people?"
"Yes."
"How do you feel in the Chu State?"
"Not good."
"Didn't you come back nicely?"
"It's dangerous."
"Are you still afraid of danger?" Without waiting for Uncle Zheng to answer, the Sword Saint nodded and said, "I will indeed be afraid." ”
"That's it."
"But I finally came back safely, and I didn't miss an arm or a leg."
"Alas, there is no way, when I think of so many soldiers and civilians in the Snow Customs, they are all counting on me to live, I don't care about myself, but for them, I also have to learn to cherish my life."
Juggernaut "Hehe",
Road:
"The foreshadowing is here."
"Did I have a problem?"
"No problem, but it's also shameless."
"How?"
"You want to say that without you, you won't be able to survive without the snow customs?"
"Not really."
"Without you, the savages will have to enter the customs again?"
"Obviously."
"Without you, my little family will be gone?"
"At least, it's not as flavorful as it is now, is it?"
"Zheng Fan."
"Hmm."
"Do you know what I hated the most?"
"You say."
"It's those who are high-ranking officials who are emperors, who think they are the Son of Heaven, who are social officials or court officials, and they are obviously afraid of death, but they have to find this kind of excuse for themselves.
But in this world, without anyone, the sun will rise in the east tomorrow. ”
"But the sun does not eat or drink, there is no sickness, no pain, no hatred, no love."
Juggernaut opened his mouth, as if he found it impossible to refute,
At last
I could only shake my head and sigh:
"I understood early on, I can only use a sword, my mouth, I can't fool you."
"I'm afraid of death."
"I said it."
"But when I fight, I am not afraid, because on the battlefield, there is no shortage of soldiers around me who are loyal to me."
"Hmm."
"But what I'm most afraid of is that when a person walks on the road, a master suddenly appears out of nowhere, and then I die.
Lao Yu. ”
"Huh?"
"I'm Zheng Fan, I'm a character now, right?"
The Sword Master nodded and said:
"Count."
"For a character like me, you say that you want to die on the battlefield, and I am sure that I will die a heroic death, but if I am knocked to death by a dull stick while walking at night, it will be really embarrassing."
"You mean, I'll give you a sword right now to make sure you don't die?"
"You know I didn't mean that."
"I know what you mean."
"And you're still going around with me?"
The Sword Master put down the carving knife in his hand, patted his legs, and said:
"I'm a wreck now."
"It's okay, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, if you are by my side, we can scare them to death without making a move."
"But what if it happens?"
"How can there be so many whatevers."
"If there is really a case, Xiaoxiao comes up, won't it be from you suffocating to death alone, to the two of us suffocating to death together?"
Saying,
The Sword Saint looked at Zheng Fan very seriously and asked solemnly:
"I, Yu Huaping, am also a character, right?"
"Hey!"
"You say, if I die at the hands of an unknown outlaw, wouldn't it be very aggrieved?"
"Tsk."
The Sword Master continued to carve the wooden sword, and Uncle Zheng sat there, slowly drinking the water in the bowl.
The sword maid returned, carrying all kinds of snacks half a head taller than her.
"This is the meat floss that the big tiger loves to eat, this is the almond that the master loves to eat, and this is the peach crisp ......... that grandma loves to eat."
Juggernaut stopped what he was doing,
watched the sword maid sort out the dim sum one by one, and then sent it into the room.
Uncle Zheng also finished drinking the water and put the bowl aside.
rise
Prepare to leave.
Juggernaut spoke:
"Next time you want to go out, I'll go with you."
Uncle Zheng, who just got up,
sat back again,
Yell:
"Refill the water!"
"Here we go!"
The sword maid wiped her sweat and ran over to pick up the bowl to refill the water.
Soon, she came over with a bowl in one hand and a piece of Shaqima in the other, handed the bowl to Uncle Zheng, and took a big bite of Shaqima herself.
"This thing, put it for a while, it's tough, soft, and delicious." Uncle Zheng suggested.
The sword maid glanced at Zheng Fan and said:
"Waste things."
"Yes."
The sword maid hummed a small tune and ate Shaqima, and with a small shovel in the other hand, she squatted happily and continued to grow vegetables.
And at this time,
There was a knock on the door.
The most infuriating thing is that
The visitor stood outside the house and knocked on the door, but the door was not closed, but he did not take the initiative to push the door in.
The sword maid put down the little shovel in a huff, got up, and ran to open the door.
Her first eye landed on the comer's sword, the second on the comer's leg, and the third on the chicken and duck that the comer was carrying.
Comer,
The surname is Chen, and he is called Daxia.
It can be said that during Uncle Zheng's trip to Chu State, Chen Daxia helped a lot.
But Chen Daxia was still happy and followed Siniang's team all the way to the Snow Customs as usual, without any entanglement or sadness.
There are three reasons for this,
One, there is the state of Chu;
Second, he did help Master Yao deliver the letter;
Three, he owes Zheng Fan.
Chen Daxia's world is always so direct and crisp, with a simple atmosphere.
Like what
Right now, when he came to visit the Sword Master, he actually had a chicken in his left hand and a duck in his right hand.
The sword maid motioned for Chen Daxia to come in,
Uncle Zheng pointed at Chen Daxia and said:
"Look, this is the Chen Daxia I just boasted about with you!"
The Sword Master just glanced up at Chen Daxia and didn't say anything.
The sword maid saw Chen Daxia's thoughts at a glance, Nunu mouthed, and said, "Put it down." ”
"Okay."
Chen Daxia put the chicken and duck down, and soon, the chicken took the initiative to merge into the chickens raised in the Sword Master's yard, and then, a flock of chickens began to chase the only duck.
The sword maid pointed to the water tank next to the door and said, "There is no water." ”
"Okay."
Chen Daxia didn't say a word, picked up the bucket and went out to fetch water.
After Chen Daxia went out, the sword maid said to the sword saint:
"Master, I think that person is very powerful."
The Sword Master nodded and said, "It's just a little stupid." ”
Uncle Zheng immediately corrected: "This is called pure. ”
The Sword Master replied and said, "Yes, pure stupidity. ”
"Lao Yu, if we can teach, we can teach, you don't want your skills to be lost, do you?"
The sword maid, who was just about to squat down again to plant vegetables, was unhappy when she heard this, and shouted:
"Uncle, don't you have me!"
"You're getting married."
"........." sword maid.
"Lao Yu, ........."
The Sword Saint sighed and said, "You can teach." ”
Uncle Zheng smiled.
"Then I won't go out with you."
"Well, Chen Daxia has a very good understanding, I think that every sword is a unique existence in the world, and he should find and take the path that belongs to him."
The sword maid stuck out her tongue and dug with a small shovel.
"Cheng, you continue to be busy, I'll go back to rest first, come back all the way, I haven't had a good night's sleep for a long time, and I'm still comfortable sleeping at home."
Uncle Zheng got up,
The Juggernaut is still carving the wooden sword, and the swordsman is still growing vegetables;
Walking as when you come,
No one welcomes or sends them off,
But seeing the Sword Saint sitting here, Uncle Zheng felt at ease.
Wait until Uncle Zheng leaves,
The sword maid said as she shoveled the soil:
"Master, do you really want to be a guard for him next time?"
The Sword Master nodded and said:
"He can't die."
"Why?"
"If something happens to him, how can my apprentice kill him when he is eighteen years old?"
……
Uncle Zheng returned to the mansion, went straight into the back house, and then turned a corner and came to Tiantian's residence.
Every day at this moment, I was sitting on the bluestone slab, basking in the sun and playing with the magic pill.
Seeing Zheng Fan coming, Tian Tian was obviously excited, his hands were propped on the ground, he stood up with some difficulty, and then walked towards Zheng Fan with a sway.
Zheng Fan bent down and picked up his godson.
"Yo, it's too heavy."
"Giggle......
"Why do you wear so many clothes?"
Uncle Zheng took off one for him.
After playing with Tiantian for a while, Uncle Zheng went to the ice cellar again, and Liang Cheng was in the ice cellar at this time, holding a pot for watering flowers and pouring blood on Ah Ming.
Uncle Zheng leaned against the door of the ice cellar and enjoyed this scene.
Liang Cheng put down the kettle and said, "Rest assured, my lord, Ah Ming's condition is already improving." ”
"No, I think the picture in front of me is beautiful, but it's a pity that the paint doesn't melt away here, otherwise I really want to paint a picture here."
"Drawing?"
"Well, there's a word that I think is perfect for this situation."
"Lord, what word?"
"Ice Love."
Liang Cheng frowned, and then smiled, no, it's just a mess.
"Lord, the matter of the training of soldiers and horses, I will report to you after dinner, and it just so happens that the blind man also has something to report. It's too cold here, so go up, Lord. ”
"It's okay, I just need to cool down."
Zheng Fan sat down on a piece of ice next to him, and the fire that had been aroused by Liu Ruqing when he was taking a bath before was forcibly interrupted by the sudden movement of Shatuo Que Shi.
Now after returning to the mansion, Liu Ruqing's shy appearance began to appear in his mind again, and a nameless fire began to rise again.
This is actually very normal, because he has practiced martial arts in this life, Uncle Zheng is a six-grade martial artist, and his body and bones are much better than ordinary people, and he used to be accompanied by Siniang's needlework, and from the day of the wedding to the time he came back, for such a long time, Uncle Zheng has not tasted meat for a long time.
Freeze first, freeze slowly, freeze shivering, and it's fine.
Thinking about his dignified uncle, he actually has to rely on this method to "cool down", and it is estimated that no one will believe it.
……
"He didn't touch you?"
"Ah, sister, no."
"No, I mean, I didn't ask you to help with needlework or anything?"
"On the way to escape, how can you have the time to mend your clothes."
When Siniang heard this answer, the corners of her mouth outlined a trace of arc.
It's really, it's hard for the Lord.
And at this time,
In the bedroom,
Siniang sat in the first seat, although the dark wounds on her body were not healed, but it looked like she was still full of charm, this is a woman who remains beautiful no matter when.
Xiong Liqing sat beside Siniang, this princess put herself in the right position from the moment she saw Siniang, and did not try to use her identity as a princess to elevate herself.
below
There was a woman kneeling, it was Liu Ruqing.
It's just that instead of kneeling on the floor tiles, she knelt on a futon.
Normal home, concubine, is this position.
But it wasn't Siniang who made her like this, but she insisted on asking for it.
Leaving the Fan family and coming to the Pingye Uncle's Mansion, Liu Ruqing looked very inferior.
She was originally a widow, and she left the protection of the Fan family, and now, she has become the concubine of Uncle Pingye, and now, Princess Da Chu can only sit in the second place, and she recognizes herself as a sister in front of that beautiful woman, so what about her?
She Liu Ruqing, what capital does she have?
Siniang said, "Come, you, raise your head and let me take another look." ”
Hearing this, Liu Ruqing raised her head.
Siniang looked at it carefully, then looked at the princess on the side, and said, "What do you think?" ”
The princess sighed, "They are all more beautiful than me." ”
Siniang shook her head and said, "But the feeling when you call this palace is unique." ”
Xiong Lijing was still a little ignorant, and couldn't pay attention to the meaning for a while.
Liu Ruqing's face turned red again.
"Tut-tut, it's really a stunner." Siniang exclaimed, "The raw Yuanna is delicate, and her temperament is gentle and peaceful. ”
Liu Ruqing lowered her head and said:
"My sister is the most beautiful."
Siniang smiled slightly and said, "Get up, don't let the uncle come back and see this scene, thinking that we are bullying you." ”
"In front of the two sisters, how can the slave and maid sit."
When Siniang heard this, she said:
"Then you sincerely want your uncle to see this scene?"
"Slaves don't dare, slaves don't dare."
Liu Ruqing immediately stood up, walked to the chair next to her, and sat down slowly, only a little bit of the chair, this posture looks like a green willow on the river embankment, rooted in the ground, and on the river.
"Where do you live now?" Siniang asked.
"Partial house."
Siniang shook her head and said: "I can't be wronged, I'll let Xiao Yibo set up a yard for you alone later, and you can arrange the flowers and plants in the yard at will, but the slave maid has to come out of me."
It's not that I'm looking for someone to keep an eye on you, but for the safety of the house. ”
"The slave and maid don't dare, the slave and maid are remnants of the willows, and they can get a place in the house, they are already very grateful, how dare they expect anything else."
"The body of the remnant willow? That's a plus for you. ”
"What do you mean, sister." Xiong Liqing asked.
She is in the palace, although she can hear some stories of various countries, but how can anyone dare to tell the princess about this kind of wind and moon?
"It's better to not know." Siniang didn't plan to explain to the princess, it doesn't matter if others throw a pot on the lord's head, there is no need for her own people to do this.
"Decorate the yard according to your ideas, arrange it elegantly, and Uncle Rong will have a place to spend his time in the future."
"Yes, the slave knows."
"Look at it, women, you can be a little melancholy, it's good, it can be more charming, but if you think too much, it's easy to break your body, don't worry, here, no one will bully you, and we don't have the leisure time to intrigue or anything, so outsiders can see the joke."
"Yes."
"Go down."
"Yes, sister."
Liu Ruqing got up, saluted respectfully and retired.
"Sister, you can also choose a yard, it's the same, arrange it according to your requirements."
"Okay, sister, sister retires."
In the house, Siniang was left alone.
And at this time,
Uncle Zheng walked in with a sigh.
Siniang saw that Uncle Zheng's head was full of water droplets, and immediately got up to get a towel.
"You have a wound, don't move, I'll do it myself."
Uncle Zheng took a towel and wiped his face and hair.
Siniang sat down and looked at Uncle Zheng with a smile.
When Zheng Fan wiped it and came over to pick up the tea that he didn't know who had drunk half of it and put it in his mouth, Siniang said:
"Although the princess is not a peerless beauty, she can still do needlework, right?"
Uncle Zheng put down the teacup and said, "On the way to escape, where do you have that thought." ”
"No, Lord, when you are on the run, you don't know whether you live or die, and your future is uncertain, so people will be more nervous, and it is often easier to think about that thing to relieve the pressure."
Uncle Zheng looked at Siniang and said, "At that time, you didn't know whether you were alive or dead, how embarrassed I was." ”
He was fleeing for his life with the princess, but the real risk was Siniang and them who led away the pursuers for themselves.
This is indeed Uncle Zheng's sincere thoughts, to be a man, you have to talk about your conscience, otherwise what is the difference between it and livestock.
Without waiting for Siniang to speak,
Zheng Fan said again:
"Liu Ruqing and this princess, they gave them a yard respectively, and they just raised it as a vase, anyway, Ah Ming and Ah Cheng didn't bring a vase back before, and over time, they got used to it."
"The Lord is not moved? Not to mention the stimulation that the identity of the princess can bring, that is, Liu Ruqing, even her subordinates are a little moved. ”
"Heh, I never thought I'd open a harem."
"Is the Lord afraid to be sorry for me?"
"Yes."
"So you're still willing to endure it?"
"Yes."
One asked very directly, and the other answered very directly.
"The princess was snatched by us in order to brush up her reputation, Liu Ruqing was sent directly by the Fan family without saying hello, this is not a harem, and the lord should not have psychological pressure.
It's a slave family, a noble and graceful one under his hands, and when he is trained, life is interesting. ”
"I'm afraid of trouble, let's still be the same as before, I feel good."
"It's just ........."
"Just what?"
"It's just that the slave family doesn't want to be like that before."
Siniang put her red lips to Uncle Zheng's ear,
Biting his ear, he whispered:
"Lord, when the slave's injuries heal after a while, let's try to have a child."
