Chapter 584: Arriving in Hedong
"Lao Li, do you want to come over and take a photo?"
What does it mean to take a picture?
Seeing the shouts of the virtuous brother, Li Er pulled his thoughts back, walked over quickly, and stood quietly in front of them to ask.
"It's called a camera."
Looking at the boxy little box that the person in front of him was holding, Li Er's face was full of doubts.
"Lao Li's name is the camera, and it's my latest invention.
You've probably seen a painter before, and you can also draw a person's picture on paper by drawing it.
And this camera has the same meaning as the painter, but compared to the painter, the camera draws more clearly and straightforwardly, and the camera takes more real pictures. ”
Coincidentally, I happened to sign in today and got a camera, which can add some interesting atmosphere to this boring journey.
Looking at the boxy box, Li Er stood directly over, and Zhao Mu clicked on it.
Hearing this voice, I reflexively covered my eyes.
"I said Lao Li, you don't have to cover your eyes, this is a photo, you, just be plain."
As soon as he finished saying this, the camera creaked and cracked, and he printed out the photo he had just taken.
Zhao Mu picked up the photo and handed it over.
"Lao Li, this thing is a painter, you see."
Li Er looked at the photo in front of him and showed a shocked look.
Wouldn't it, could this be the self just now?
It's all too clear, right?
The whole person showed a shocked look, and even covered his eyes directly, and drew it very clearly, and this speed is so fast, it really feels incredible.
"Lao Li, just relax, this thing is very interesting.
Come and stand with your butler, and I'll take a picture of the two of you. ”
Hearing what people said, Li Er waved his hand and called the eldest grandson Wuji over.
Let him stand by his side, and it's also quite nice to have someone with him for this photoshoot.
took two photos, and this time with their previous experience, the two were no longer nervous.
Click, click, click, two photos were printed, one for each person, holding the photo in front of him, the eldest grandson Wuji can be said to be flattered.
My goodness, this is the quality of the picture of the saint and himself, and the painting is so clear?
In any case, I must treasure this picture and put it in the most important place in my house.
This is a photo taken by myself and His Majesty in the same frame.
It's an honor that others want but can't get.
Thinking of these eldest grandsons Wuji's face, a smile appeared on his face, and Li Er also looked beautiful when he saw a novel thing.
I was very happy to see this photo, and began to ask my brother to take a few more pictures of himself.
In the end, he simply learned from Zhao Mu directly, learned to take a camera, and began to take a few photos of them.
"Hahahaha, yes, yes, this camera is interesting and interesting."
If this thing is obtained by himself, can he also take a good picture of those concubines in his palace?
Thinking of this scene, Li Er laughed, and then stood aside to play again.
Originally, I was going to come here purely to make soy sauce, but who knew that this fun would be even happier than a few of them?
"Come to the housekeeper, I'll teach you how to use this thing, and you can take a few more pictures of me."
"It's the shopkeeper."
When the eldest grandson Wuji also learned to operate, the two began to play.
Zhao Mu came to the other side and began to prepare lunch.
A small barbecue and a small beer are being prepared for camping, and the whole fireworks atmosphere is very strong.
Until all the preparations on their side were completed, Li Er quickly rushed over, sat on one side, and also moved his own hands, and began to pick up small skewers, and all the whole people were very energetic.
In the following days, everyone walked and stopped, and it took more than a month to enter the Hedong territory.
This Hedong is also one of the cultural birthplaces of my Great Xia, with outstanding people and rich products.
It was a very nice place, Li Er sat on the side with a look full of excitement, his little eyes straightened up, and he nodded again and again.
That's natural, this Hedong is the birthplace of their Tang Dynasty, when they raised troops in Hedong, occupied Chang'an, and then fought all the way from Chang'an to the east, west, north and south, so that they have today's Tang Dynasty, which is also their ancestral home.
After entering Hedong, walking for a long time, I arrived at a county seat again, rested for a while after lunch at the inn, and wandered around the county town in the afternoon.
"I said shopkeeper, this is the prey of a few of our brothers, how much do you charge?"
Just as a few people were wandering the streets, they passed by a stall and found several men, each carrying a prey and putting it aside, bargaining with the merchant in front of them.
"Ladies and gentlemen, what do you think of the previous price?"
"Shopkeeper, you are a cheerful person, just follow the previous price."
He asked someone to set them aside and count them, and then took the money and put it in the hands of the man in charge.
The man in the lead turned around, looked at his brothers, and divided the money directly into the hands of several of them.
"Big brother, big brother, we can't ask for this money, most of the prey is fought by big brother.
This time, the eldest brother should occupy the lion's share, and now the eldest brother is going to divide it equally, let's be brothers? ”
"I said that you are all your own brothers, and you are polite to me?"
Even if they don't look at this brother, their parents don't help their wives less.
Everyone is a family member, and if you can help yourself, you will definitely have to help.
When everyone saw that they couldn't resist the eldest brother, they could only put away the silver taels, saluted, and said thank you, big brother!
"Xue Qing, you take your brothers to the inn first and wait, I'm going to the blacksmith shop to polish my weapon!"
Xue Qing?
Why is this name so familiar, Zhao Mu, who was standing on the side, opened his mouth and asked.
"Where is this place east of the river?"
"Back to Zhao Gongzi's words, the name of this place is Xiu Village, Longmen County, Jiangzhou, Hedong Province."
When they entered the county seat, it was also written on the county seat.
I just sat in the carriage and didn't look at it.
"What's the matter, brother?"
"Just now I heard that strong man and one of his brothers call Xue Qing, they are the Xue family."
"Lao Li, don't you know, in Xiu Village, Longmen County, Jiangzhou, Hedong Province, there is a person named Xue Rengui, this person is strong in martial arts and is a handsome talent.
In the future, he made great achievements for the Tang Dynasty and played an important role in pacifying Liaodong. ”
What? And one more such talent?
Li Er turned around and glanced at his eldest grandson Wuji, who shook his head, which Xue Rengui had never heard of.
"Brother Xian, who is this Xue Qing?"
"It's a person of the same clan as him Xue Rengui, and these brothers who follow him Xue Rengui, this strength should not be underestimated.
As the saying goes, this fish is looking for fish and shrimp, there is a brother who is led by such a handsome person, and the strength of this group of brothers is not bad. ”
My obedient, I didn't expect it, I just came here, Li Er never dreamed that he would be able to find such a handsome talent in Hedong with a trip with his virtuous brother?
Since this is the case, you can't come here empty-handed, this Xue Rengui wants it himself.
In the final analysis, it is still this outstanding person from Hedong.
"Brother Xian, since we already know, why don't we go and meet this Xue Rengui?"
Didn't you hear that person shout Xue Qing just now, let's go over and take a look with the attitude of a dead horse as a live horse doctor, maybe this person is Xue Rengui.
He also said he was going to the blacksmith shop, so let's go over and have a look and talk to him.
That's fine, and a few people rushed straight in the direction of the blacksmith shop.
Arrived at the blacksmith shop, Xue Rengui was asking the blacksmith to polish his weapons, and Li Er stepped forward to ask.
"Dare to ask this strong man, but his name is Xue Rengui?"
Hearing someone shouting to him, Xue Rengui glanced at the man standing in front of him.
"My name is Xue Rengui, I don't know who you are?"
"I'm from Chang'an City, my surname is Li, and everyone calls me Shopkeeper Li.
Passing by this place today, I heard that there is a strong man named Xue Rengui, who has cultivated a lot of skills and is also a very good person.
We wandered around the streets, and saw that a few of your brothers were scattered, you came to the blacksmith shop to make iron, and we also came to the blacksmith shop to do things, and we rushed over, you are Xue Rengui? ”
"If the eldest husband doesn't change his name, he doesn't change his surname, it's Xue Rengui below!"
"Sure enough, it's better to see than to hear, and it's quite good to see this strong morale today.
Why don't I do it today, let's go to the inn on the side and have a few drinks? ”
"Shopkeeper Li, I'm afraid I don't have time today, I've promised my brother to go to the inn and we'll have a meal together!"
"It's okay, I'm going to be the east today, in addition to inviting you, I'll also invite your brothers over, and we'll have a good meal."
It doesn't mean anything else, it's just to look at these heroes differently, and ask Xue Zhuangshi not to excuse himself! ”
This?
After a moment's thought, he nodded, and accepted the matter.
Li Er got up and left the place, returned to his inn, and began to wait quietly.
An hour later, Xue Rengui and his party came to the inn and met Li Er and his party.
"Shopkeeper Li!"
"Ladies and gentlemen, please take a seat, please take a seat!"
Li Er arranged for people to arrange all the things in the inn, and he was happy today, just to feast on them!
Eating the meal, and after chatting and chatting, it was confirmed that this person was him Xue Rengui.
Li Er saw that the more he looked at him, the more he liked it, this is my future marshal of the Tang Dynasty, not bad, really good!
After a lot of wine and food, and chatting a lot, they rested here for a night that night, and the next morning, Li Er arranged for people to buy some gifts, and the group rushed towards their village!
When I arrived at their village, I saw this dilapidated village, although the village was dilapidated, but everyone's face was full of smiles.
He went straight to their cold kiln and met him and his wife.
Xue Rengui introduced it to his wife.
"Thank you, shopkeeper Li, thank you!"
"Xue Zhuangshi, I think you have 10 points of ability, but this family lives in a cold kiln.
And I travel back and forth between Chang'an City and Bashu, Youzhou, Hedong, and the business I do is also very large.
I decided to recruit a group of guards, mainly responsible for escorting goods in this area east of the river, so I wonder if the strong man is interested? ”
Xue Rengui hadn't spoken yet, and was directly interrupted by Li Er.
"You can also spend time with your wife and children.
I only need to send someone over when there is a mission, and I will escort them with our people.
I will buy real estate and fields for the strong man in the county seat, and give the strong man 500 taels of silver every year.
If the strong man doesn't believe it, I can give the strong man money for 20 years and serve me for those 20 years.
As long as you nod your head, I can arrange all your brothers except you this time.
People who can become brothers with strong men should also be quite good at their skills. ”
Li Er simply attacked directly, and few people should be able to resist the temptation, plus he gave so much.
On the one hand, he is his wife and children, his brothers, and on the other hand, he has money that can be obtained immediately.
After thinking for a moment, Xue Rengui shook his head!
"I'm sorry shopkeeper Li, forgive me for my fate!"
"Hey, Zhuangshi, we don't sign any contract between us, I believe in your Xue Zhuangshi's character.
At the same time, I do not restrict your freedom, and you must have at least half a month off every month.
You can go whenever you want, and the money will be treated as if I was making a friend.
Li Er didn't believe that with such a heavy punch, even a person would give in.
He didn't believe that this big man had this kind of environment, one was his wife and children, and he should know how to choose.
However, in the face of such a temptation, Xue Rengui still shook his head.
"I'm sorry shopkeeper Li, I'm sorry for these things you said, I've already planned to go to Chang'an City to participate in the martial arts in the autumn of this year, and I'm ready to break out of the sky through my own skills, and Shopkeeper Li trusts me, Rengui is very grateful."
"Strongman, this is your only chance, if you lose this opportunity, I won't come to you again!"
However, even so, Xue Rengui still shook his head.
"Hahahaha, that's a good guy."
While speaking, Li Er took out the silver taels from his clothes in the eldest grandson Wuji and handed them over.
"Shopkeeper Li, never, never."
People invited themselves to dinner again, and today they came here and brought so many gifts, and this is money, this is absolutely unacceptable?
"This money is not for the two of you, but for the future child.
After the child is born, he can't be without nutrition, and with this money, he can buy more good things.
Besides, Xue Zhuangshi is ready to join the army to serve the country and serve me Datang, as a businessman of Datang, although I can't help the world at the same time.
But now that I saw it today, I must help if I can help.
If you participate in the martial arts this year, you can go directly to the Li Mansion to find me after you arrive in Chang'an City. ”
"Xie Li's shopkeeper."
The husband and wife thanked them and prepared to serve them tea and pour water, Li Er waved his hand, did not delay here, and got up to leave.
"Husband, this shopkeeper Li is a good person." “
Yes, this shopkeeper Li is really good. ”
