The car was getting closer and closer to the Xiao family's compound, and Yan Caiyue's mood was also tense to the peak.

Xiao Zhang also saw her nervous expression, so he held her hands in his palms and motioned her to relax.

Finally at around 5:40, Xiao Zhang and Yan Caiyue finally came to the Xiao family's compound.

The Xiao family compound is located in the inner ring of J City, where there are no high-rise buildings, no traffic, some old alleys, old streets.

Everything here is old, and even some people who don't understand Chinese history will even mistakenly think that this is the slum of J City when they come here.

However, these are all illusions, and the people who can live here are all noble figures.

Don't look at a small dilapidated courtyard house, its value is even as high as hundreds of millions of RMB.

The Xiao family compound is a courtyard villa, which is much larger than the average courtyard house, and at the same time much more luxurious.

Xiao Zhang and Yan Caiyue got out of the car, and soon saw Xiao Zhang's mother, Qin Liyuan, standing at the door at the moment, welcoming Xiao Zhang and Yan Caiyue's arrival.

Of course, Xiao Zhang knew that his mother was welcoming Yan Caiyue and had little to do with him, Xiao Zhang remembered that except for the first day he arrived in J City, her mother never greeted him at the door.

At the same time, it can be seen from this that Yan Caiyue is valued in the eyes of Xiao Zhang's parents.

"Son, you're back!" Qin Liyuan stood at the door and said to Xiao Zhang with a smile on her face.

Qin Liyuan's first sentence was to ask Xiao Zhang, but her gaze stayed on Yan Caiyue's body.

"This is my daughter-in-law, Caiyue!" Qin Liyuan said again: "Real people look better than on TV, son, you have a good eye!" ”

Xiao Zhang's mother has indeed watched a lot of videos about Yan Caiyue and her recent news during this time.

But this is the first time I've seen a real person.

Yan Caiyue is very beautiful on camera, but real people are even more beautiful, which can also be proved by Xiao Zhang.

Xiao Zhang didn't speak, just smiled.

And Yan Caiyue on the side was praised by Xiao Zhang's mother, blushed shyly, and said, "Hello, Auntie! ”

"Eh, good!"

"Auntie, this is, I brought you and your uncle a gift, little care, I hope you don't dislike it!" Yan Caiyue handed the gift she and Xiao Zhang had prepared just now to Xiao Zhang's mother, Qin Liyuan.

Qin Liyuan didn't expect that there would be gifts to receive, and her heart suddenly blossomed, "No, how can it be?" My daughter-in-law can prepare gifts for us, and I can't be happy yet, how can I dislike it? ”

Qin Liyuan took the gift, grinned, and blossomed.

After receiving the gift, Qin Liyuan gave the gift to the aunt next to her, and she was excited to hold Yan Caiyue's hand and said to Xiao Zhang: "Son, you go in first, I'll talk to my daughter-in-law, and by the way, take her to visit our house first, anyway, your Uncle Sun and Fei Fei haven't arrived yet!" ”

Seeing that his mother liked Yan Caiyue so much, Xiao Zhang's heart was also very happy.

So, he walked into the Xiao family's compound by himself, and Yan Caiyue followed her mother, and Xiao Zhang didn't know what they would talk about?

However, seeing that they get along so happily, Xiao Zhang has nothing to worry about.

Xiao Zhang just entered the courtyard, but was stopped by the ancient lamp.

"Young master, come with the old slave!" Gu Deng said to Xiao Zhang.

Xiao Zhang was a little stunned, but he still followed behind Gu Deng.

Xiao Zhang followed Gu Deng to a room in the backyard.

The old lamp opened the wooden door and walked inside.

It is a relatively simple room, with little decoration and furniture, but at first glance, it is very clean and tidy.

Xiao Zhang knew that this was the room where Gu Deng lived after returning to the capital.

Although the room is a little simple, it is not simple, and the backyard is relatively secluded, which is suitable for an elderly person like him.

The antique lamp came to a cabinet, opened it, and took out a long wooden box from the cabinet.

Xiao Zhang has seen this wooden box, when he was in Jianghai, the rusty Tang knife he auctioned at a high price of 9 million yuan was contained in this box.

And at this time, Xiao Zhang remembered what Gu Deng said to him last night, that the Tang knife had been reforged, could it be that Gu Deng called him to dedicate the recast Tang knife to him?

Xiao Zhang thought to himself, it is estimated that eight or nine is not far from ten.

For a while, Xiao Zhang was also excited.

After all, he spent a full 9 million RMB for this Tang knife, and he couldn't wait to see what the Tang knife would look like after it was reforged.

Gu Deng held the box with one hand and the cane with the other, came to Xiao Zhang, leaned the cane on his shoulder, and then picked up the box with both hands and handed it to Xiao Zhang: "Young master, the old slave asked my friend to reforge the Tang knife into a dagger, and now it is a finished product, please take a look!" ”

Gu Deng is already a lot old, and it is extremely difficult to take a step, seeing him with both hands, Xiao Zhang hurriedly took the wooden box in his hand: "Grandpa Gu, thank you for your hard work!" ”

In fact, after arriving in the capital, Xiao Zhang didn't want to trouble Gu Deng too much, because he was already 100 years old, and few people in the world could live to his age.

The vast majority of those who are 100 years old live in wheelchairs, and their physical functions slowly weaken with age.

But he is still running around for Xiao Zhang and the Xiao family.

Xiao Zhang was a little unbearable.

Xiao Zhang took the wooden box and opened it.

After opening the box, Xiao Zhang saw a dagger about 20 centimeters lying in the wooden box.

The dagger was covered with a scabbard, and Xiao Zhang didn't see the blade of the knife at the first time.

However, there is a dragon engraved on the handle, and the dragon body surrounds the handle, and the workmanship is so fine that it attracts Xiao Zhang's attention.

So, Xiao Zhang took the dagger out of the wooden box, and then placed the wooden box on a wooden table beside it.

Xiao Zhang couldn't wait to pull out the dagger and see what this recast dagger looked like.

Xiao Zhang took the dagger in his hand and found that this dagger was a little heavier than the ordinary dagger.

Xiao Zhang remembered that Gu Deng had told him that the predecessor of this dagger, that is, the Tang knife, was made of fine black iron.

And this dagger is a recast of that Tang knife, that is, this dagger is also made of dark iron.

Then it's not surprising that it's a little heavier than a normal dagger.

"Whew....."

The dagger is unsheathed.

Xiao Zhang held a dagger in his right hand and a scabbard in his left hand.

In an instant, a dagger glowing with a light blue cold light appeared in front of Xiao Zhang's eyes.

When he saw this scene, Xiao Zhang's heart was excited.

The corners of his mouth also raised slightly because of excitement.

Seeing Xiao Zhang's excited appearance at the moment, Gu Deng next to him also showed a relieved smile on his face, then grabbed his slender and gray beard, and said, "Young Master, are you still satisfied?" ”

"Satisfied, I'm so satisfied!" Xiao Zhang said, Xiao Zhang couldn't put down this recast dagger.

"Young master, this dagger is made of fine black iron, the blade is extremely sharp, if you add the internal force of the knife wielder, it is not difficult to sharpen the iron like clay!" Gu Deng said.

"Really?"

"Of course, if you don't believe it, young master, you can try it now!"

"Good!" Xiao Zhang nodded excitedly.

It's just, what kind of test knife do you take? Soon Xiao Zhang locked his eyes on the long wooden box on the table.

So, Xiao Zhang clenched the dagger in his hand, walked up, and then slashed the long box with the blade of the knife.

"Wow....".

The wooden long box was directly halved by the dagger in Xiao Zhang's hand.
