Chapter 91 10,000 taels
Capital. Zhu Mansion.
"The speed of your work is really fast, it took less than half a month to complete the tomb mechanism of Dugu Yihe, and it has only been a day since I came back, and I have done another one." In the courtyard, looking at Zhu Zhu, who was holding a carving knife and flying with his fingers, Li Yang praised from the bottom of his heart.
"This speed is normal, I do technical work, focusing on ingenuity, and I don't build a high-rise mansion for several years."
Zhu stopped talking, a palm-sized sign was ready, put it on the table, drank a cup of tea, and picked up a piece of wood to carve it.
And there are still a dozen carved ones scattered on the table.
"Do you carve a plaque at home all day long? Li Yang sat across the table, bowed his head with a little curiosity, and pulled the wooden card on the table.
"This is the work that my wife gave me, to make tokens and waist cards for those powerful people, my wife said, this kind of work is light and fast, without leaving home, sitting and moving your fingers, not a day of effort, you can complete a lot, come to the money quickly, earn more, how good, in fact, these brands are not difficult to make, any craftsman can do a good job, but those powerful people just recognize me, so that people know that their objects are carved by the world's first wonderful hand, the picture is nothing more than a face." Zhu stopped carving and talking at the same time, distracting himself for two purposes, and did not delay.
Li Yang picked up a carved plaque.
It is tattooed with the family emblem requested by the buyer in advance, both on the front and back, which is extremely complicated, like a ghost painting, and it is completely impossible to see what the meaning is.
And there are several different styles on the table.
"Your hands are so skillful, such a small wooden block can carve such a complex pattern, it would be difficult for me to write a word on it." Seeing Zhu Zhu's technique with his own eyes, Li Yang knew that the title of the world's number one magic hand was really worthy of his name.
"No matter how skillful my hands are, they can't compare to your skillful hands when you hid in the coffin of Dugu Yihe under the pursuit of Emei and people from all factions."
"Qiaoqiaoqiao, you are all Qiaoqiao."
A handsome lady suddenly walked out of the house, with her hands on her waist and her apricot eyes slightly staring, looking at Li Yang and Zhu Zhu, who were "commercial nonsense" in the courtyard.
"The old lady's hands are more skillful, now, you two will immediately come in for me to eat and drink, if you spoil the delicacies that the old lady has worked so hard to make, you will be good-looking."
"Here it is, ma'am." Zhu Zhu threw away the wooden card and carving knife in his hand, answered with a smile, and walked towards the house.
"So you're still scared." Li Yang followed in and laughed quietly behind Zhu Stop.
"You know what? This is called the harmony of husband and wife. Zhu stopped and hummed without looking back.
"Huh."
The three of them entered the house, and the food and drinks were prepared on the table in the room.
A plate of peanuts, a plate of peanuts, a plate of peanuts.
Looking at the three plates of peanuts on the table, Li Yang's eyes bulged, and he looked at Mrs. Zhu Zhu in disbelief, "This is the delicacy you worked so hard to make?" ”
Mrs. Zhu Zhu's face did not change and said: "This is the best dish to accompany wine." ”
"Lao Zhu, am I right?" Mrs. Zhu Zhu turned her head to look at Zhu Zhu.
"Yes." Zhu Zhu nodded immediately.
"Come, try my craft." Mrs. Zhu Zhu took great pains to pick up a peanut with chopsticks and put it into Zhu Zhu's mouth.
"How?"
"It's delicious."
"Then take another bite."
"Okay."
"......" Li Yang looked at the two of them with the eyes of a dog.
Then as soon as I stretched out my hand, I didn't use chopsticks, I grabbed a handful of peanuts directly on the plate, put my hand back, stuffed it into my mouth, and chewed it.
Nurse, it's still raw......
"It's vulgar." Mrs. Zhu Zhu pouted.
"I'm a rough man." Li Yang grabbed another handful of peanuts and chewed them in his mouth.
"But I heard that you are a powerful swordsman, not only scared Dugu Yihe crazy, and fled in a cowardly fight, but also escaped from Mount Emei under the pursuit of Emei and the masters of various factions in the world, how did you do it?" Mrs. Zhu Zhu asked curiously.
"How can you say that is so exaggerated."
Li Yang shook his head, he didn't expect the gossip to have spread like this, and then pointed at Zhu Zhu, "If you want to know the specific details, just ask your husband." ”
"Him?"
Mrs. Zhu Zhu turned her head to look at Zhu Zhu, and the curiosity on her face became heavier, "Is there anything else about you here?" ”
"No, no, don't listen to his nonsense, what a thing, you know, I'm lazy and timid, how could I get involved in such a dangerous thing." Zhu Zhu shook his head in denial, and secretly glanced at Li Yang.
Li Yang was slightly flustered, and then understood the reason why Zhu Zhu did not admit it.
The hundred-legged insect is dead but not stiff, although Dugu Yihe is dead, the Emei faction is still a century-old faction, the heritage and power still exist, if you let the Emei faction know that they have spent a lot of time chasing for two days, and the enemy who has not been able to kill them has suffered heavy losses, and finally was secretly taken out of Mount Emei by Zhu Zhu, it is conceivable how angry the Emei faction will be, and it will definitely be angry at Zhu Zhu, and at that time, Zhu Zhu will definitely be on the list of Emei's revenge.
Li Yang is alone, homeless, unemployed, no relatives and no hanging, as long as he goes out of Mount Emei, the world is so big, he can go anywhere, he is naturally not afraid of Emei's revenge, but what about Zhu Zhu? The reputation of the world's best hand, this warm family of two, is going to be ruined.
It's just that when he finished leaving and left, he just temporarily set up a Tibetan compartment under the carriage, Zhu Zhu seemed to be a simple gesture, and Li Yang now understands how much risk he is taking.
And the two have only met a few times.
The world's number one skillful hand is actually the most righteous true man.
"Is there any wine?" Li Yang was in awe.
Mrs. Zhu Zhu looked at Li Yang and then at Zhu Zhu, and the woman's keen intuition told her that there must be something hidden from her between the two of them.
But she didn't ask.
She knew very well that the two people standing in front of her were not ordinary men, and since she didn't say it just now, she would definitely not say it no matter how much she asked.
Of course, this is also because Li Yang is a man, if Li Yang is a woman who is more beautiful than her, then she will definitely ask to the end.
She directly took out the wine and poured a full glass for Li Yang and Zhu Zhi respectively.
Li Yang got up solemnly and raised his wine glass towards Zhu Zhi, "I respect you." ”
Three words are better than thousands of false feelings.
"Okay." Zhu Zhu also stood up.
The two of them slammed their glasses in the air and drank them all at the same time.
Zhu stopped spitting out a mouthful of wine, "Happy." ”
Li Yang took the wine jug and filled it for Zhu first, followed by himself.
"I respect you again."
"Okay."
"One last cup."
"."
Li Yang toasted three times in one breath before finally stopping.
Zhu stopped and sat down and sighed, "You and I have finally drunk this meal." ”
He is a person who likes to make friends, and when he suffered from the Iron Shoe Thieves, he wanted to have a glass of wine with Li Yang, and he didn't want to drink it for so long.
When Mrs. Zhu Zhu, who was a little silent, heard this, she remembered something, looked at Li Yang, and opened her mouth to say, "You still owe our family 10,000 taels of silver." ”
"When do I owe you money?" Li Yang only remembers the favors he owes his family now.
"Do you want to pay off?"
Mrs. Zhu Zhu's momentum rose again, "In Jiangnan, you were plotted by the iron shoe thief, you and my old Zhu were trapped in the same room, and you made a bet, forgot?" ”
Li Yang let out an "oh", remembered it, and said with a smile: "When did this happen, you can still remember." ”
"Of course I have to remember about money." Mrs. Zhu Zhu was full of words.
There is also a reason, "Our family's Lao Zhu is a heartless person, if I don't remember a little more, this family would have been full of foreign debts a long time ago, right?" “
Her topic led to Zhu Zhu again.
Zhu nodded hurriedly, like licking a dog, "That's what Madame said." ”
I don't know why, but I always feel a little happy.
"Ugh."
Li Yang shook his head, pointed at Mrs. Zhu Zhu, and then pointed at Zhu Zhu, "A money fan, a fear of guilt, you guys, it's too scary, I really can't stand it, there will be a period later." ”
After that, he really put down the wine glass in his hand, got up and left, and before leaving, he grabbed another handful of peanuts from the plate on the table.
"That's leaving?" Mrs. Zhu Zhu was a little surprised.
"If he doesn't leave, our family will be in bad luck." Zhu Zhu's tone was fluctuating and a little heavy.
If Emei and those people of various factions who have pursued Li Yang know that Li Yang is here, they must not rush to his house? At that time, those murderous people, will you care what kind of trick you are?
Li Yang's departure is actually protecting his family and does not want to be implicated.
Zhu Zhu didn't tell his wife about this deep meaning, and he didn't even say a word about Emei.
He didn't want his woman to live in fear all day long.
"My money." Mrs. Zhu Zhu is still thinking about the 10,000 taels.
"Boom." There was a sudden loud noise outside, which frightened Zhu Zhu and his wife.
"Could it be that someone from the Emei faction is here?" Zhu Zhu couldn't help but think so.
"Which little bastard dares to be wild at the door of the old lady?" Mrs. Zhu Zhu thought it was a prank by a naughty boy on the street who smashed the door with a stone, picked up the wine jug on the table, and rushed out.
As soon as I went out, I didn't see any naughty children.
Instead, pedestrians gathered in front of her house and watched her.
To be precise, look at the silver ingots at the door of her house.
This silver ingot, and the shape of the ordinary ingot, but the volume is magnified several times, put on the ground at the door, more than three feet high, weighing five or six hundred catties, it is like a stone pier.
"It's fake, isn't it?"
"The imperial court wouldn't mint such a big piece of silver."
"It must have been made of stone, with silver paint on the outside."
…… Pedesstrians gathered more and more, pointing to the silver ingots that were comparable to stone piers at the door of Zhu Zhu's house, pointing and pointing, and being amazed, some of them were eager to try, wanting to go up to identify the authenticity.
"What are you looking at? This is my family. Mrs. Zhu Zhu threw herself on the silver ingot.
With her extraordinary "talent", she could see at a glance that this silver ingot was real.
"Let's go, what's the matter with gathering at my doorstep? Do you want to steal? If you don't leave, I'll report to the official. ”
"Lao Zhu, come out and help."
…… Mrs. Zhu Zhu was holding the silver ingots again as a calf, and she was staring at the pedestrians who were joining in the fun, and she was also loudly beckoning Zhu Zhu to come out, and she was very busy.
"This ......"
When Zhu stopped coming out, he was directly dumbfounded when he saw this stone pier-like ingot.
"What are you still doing in a daze, hurry up and get in." Mrs. Zhu said.
“…… Oh. Zhu stopped and replied stunned.
The husband and wife worked together, and with great effort, they finally moved the huge ingots of five or six hundred catties into the hospital.
"Good fellow, how much money does this have? Eh, where should I find it, can I call this silver ingot? Mrs. Zhu Zhu looked at the silver ingots in front of her, looking happy and distressed.
"I don't need to weigh it, I know how much it is?" Zhu Zhu didn't know what funny things he remembered, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face.
"How much?" Mrs. Zhu Zhu couldn't help asking.
"10,000 taels ......"
