Chapter 68: Encounter

For the two "clean officials" who do not take advantage of the people, Wu Dahu is touted again. Before he finished touting it, Dr. Fang came, an old man with a white beard and white hair.

Doctor Fang leaned over and looked at the big snake and said with a smile, "That's right, this is the Golden Plate Python, and it is the second time I have seen it at such an old age." Seeing the five holes on the snake's body, he praised it for a long time and said, "...... The big python last time was shot down by four big men, the snake body was pierced into a sieve by arrows, and another big man was injured. Fortunately, the guts were not shot, but the snakeskin was unusable. ”

As Doctor Fang spoke, he took out a knife and squatted down to take out the snake gallbladder and hand it to Wu Dahu, and talked about how to give it to the old lady. also told Wu Dahu, "Master Wu has earned it, and it is impossible for ordinary people to kill the Jinpan python to preserve the intact python skin." Python skin can be made into leather curtains or mattresses and chair cushions to cool down, which is better than ice. The bones and head can be stewed and soaked in medicinal wine, which is a great supplement, and the snake meat is even more delicious......"

Wu Dahu smiled with joy, thinking that he would take this snake skin to the capital to honor the officials of the household department, and give more snake meat to some prefects who have been taking care of themselves......

After Doctor Fang left, Wu Dahu took out six silver tickets from the cabinet and handed them to Xia Shan. Xia Shan didn't answer, and motioned for Xia Li to pick it up.

Xia Li took the silver ticket with a smile and said, "Thank you, Master Wu." "And behold, the number was six hundred taels of silver, and she asked that one hundred taels of silver be exchanged for fifty taels of silver and fifty taels of silver, and that she should buy something in the provincial capital.

Wu Dahu didn't change it, and took another five silver ingots of ten taels, and said with a smile, "Master Xia's archery skills are superb, let this python skin remain intact, I should pay more silver." ”

Xia Li was even more happy and took the silver.

Wu Dahu asked a small servant to come over and peel the snake skin and cut the snake meat.

He asked people to cut three catties of meat and a half-foot-long bone, half a snake's head for Shopkeeper He, and then cut about two catties of meat for Xia Shan.

Xia Shan secretly slandered in his heart, his own general and cousin-in-law were related to Lord Zeng, and the status of his family was much higher, how could he be so favoritistic in front of him. But he was embarrassed to say it, and smiled to express his gratitude.

Wu Dahu only symbolically accepted a silver horn from the shopkeeper He and Xia Shan, and the two were polite, and each thanked Wu Dahu on behalf of his master (chief).

Out of the Baolai Trading House, Shopkeeper He suggested, "Lord Ye and his cousin will stay in Zeng Mansion every time they come to Hanjiang Mansion, and if Brother Xia wants to see them, follow me to Zeng's Mansion." ”

Xia Shan also knew that Lord Ye would live in Zeng's Mansion, and said to Xia Li, "Let's go to Zeng's Mansion to see Lord Ye first, and then go to the inn." ”

The third uncle wants to pat the leader's ass, and he must vigorously support him, Xia Li nodded in agreement.

Sitting in the carriage, Xia Li thought that with so much silver, Mrs. Xia would definitely make trouble and beg for it. Then he only said that he had earned two hundred taels of silver, and then he spent all this money.

Of course, after making a lot of money, you should still buy some things for relatives and friends such as Xia Laohan, Mrs. Xia, and Xia Zhu. This is not only human nature, but also thanks to Xia Laohan for giving him a bow and arrow, and if the old lady makes trouble in the future, she will take advantage of it first. It doesn't hurt to spend more money, but you should never give money directly, and bad habits must be broken......

When they came to the west corner gate of Zengfu, it was already the beginning of the lanterns. Two red lanterns were also raised on both sides of the corner gate, swaying in the autumn wind.

Because Shopkeeper He had already said that he would let the carriage send Xia to the inn, she didn't get out of the car, and waited for Xia Shan to go in and send things out.

She lifted the curtain and looked at the high-walled compound in front of her.

In the twilight, the long white whitewashed walls glowed red, covered with tiles. A small vermilion door with brass nails on it. The Daiwa horns inside are hidden in the green trees and bamboos......

The courtyards and corner gates of the rich and noble are generally like this. More than 200 meters to the east is the main gate, and there are two stone lions squatting in front of the door.

Shopkeeper He slapped the corner door open, and was talking to the porter, when he saw a group of people running over and running over the corner door to the main entrance.

Xia Shan shouted, "Lord Ye! He ran a few steps closer to a horse, bowed down and said, "The villain Xia Shan has seen Lord Ye. ”

Ye Feng stopped his horse and turned his head. He had just gone to the barracks on business and had just returned.

Xia Shan bowed down and said, "My lord, the villain got two catties of meat from the golden python today, and I came to give it to the adults to try it." ”

Xia Li was a little funny, his uncle didn't know if he was too slippery or too honest, he knew that he reported his family and bribed him so blatantly. She had been sitting on the left side of the car seat to look at the Zeng Mansion compound, and when she heard that Lord Dusi was coming, she moved to the right and lifted a corner of the curtain to see the legendary Lord Ye.

It's a pity that she still sees Lord Ye's back, half of his side face and one ear, and she can't see his appearance at all. He was wearing casual clothes, a dark gold moire arrow-sleeved robe, a crown of beaded hair still wearing, and his back was straight.

Lord Ye's voice, "It's hard for you to think." The voice was a little familiar, but it was slightly cold.

Xia Li wondered, where had she heard this voice?

Ye Li got off the horse, took the oil paper bag and said with a smile, "You kid has the ability, and you also got the meat of the golden python, which is not easy." ”

Shopkeeper He ran over in a few steps, bowed down and said with a smile, "Little Lao'er also got some of this kind of meat." This is also thanks to Lord Ye who can train people, Xia Xiaojun is young and good at archery, he shot several arrows in a row, the arrows killed, three arrows hit seven inches, two arrows hit both eyes, and one person killed the Jinpan python......"

While boasting about Xia Shan's superb archery skills, he slapped Lord Ye's ass wildly.

Just listen to the sound of an inhale.

"Oh...... Do you still have that ability? ”

Not to mention that Ye Li and the others looked at Xia Shan in surprise, even Ye Feng was incredible, his head turned in a larger arc, staring at Xia Shan. He was surprised and delighted, his military camp was really full of talents. How can you not know such a good talent? Neglect.

Xia Shan blushed, and didn't dare to hide it anymore, after all, they all knew how capable he was. He hurriedly bowed down and said, "The villain is ashamed, this python was not shot by the villain, but by the villain's niece." The python suddenly climbed into the villain's niece's house last night, and the villain's niece's archery skills were very exquisite, and it took five arrows in a row to shoot the python to death...... Uh, the villain's niece is a girl, and the villain doesn't want outsiders to pay too much attention to her, so it's just, hehe......"

Ye Feng turned his head and glanced at the carriage, his expression incredulous. He turned his head sideways and asked Xia Shandao, "Your niece is the one who cooked last time?" ”

Xia Shan bowed and said, "Yes." Because someone in Hanjiang Mansion wanted to buy a golden python, the villain accompanied his niece over. ”

Ye Feng turned his head to look at the carriage again, still a little suspicious.

Secretly, let the little lady make Mao Xuewang for herself again tomorrow, so that Lao Xiang can see clearly. It's best to find a way to see her shoot an arrow, and this is the first time he's encountered someone with this archery.

PS: I'm afraid that you will be in a hurry, and there will be a change soon. Qingquan is very considerate, right?
