Li Chuan immediately got up and opened the door for Steward Liu, and then saw a cart full of things behind him.

Steward Liu said: "The staff said that when the adults come back at this time, they want to buy New Year's goods, and it may be too late." I just happened to have a lot of them at home, so I sent them over. After saying that, he beckoned his subordinates to move their things inside.

Li Chuan thanked him and invited him into the house to sit.

After sitting down, Steward Liu talked about the situation in the family, and said: "This year, there is a lot of population in the family, and in the first half of the year, the eldest son got a son, and this month, the second son also added a daughter." Today, I wanted to come over in person, but I couldn't get rid of it because I had a lot of things at home, so I was asked to come first. ”

Li Chuan hurriedly said: "This is a happy event, when I visit in a few days, I must say hello to the staff." ”

Steward Liu sat down for a while, then took his leave and left.

After he left, Tong Luo said: "I didn't expect that Zhang Yuanwai would become a grandfather so soon." ”

Li Chuan said: "Don't you too, maybe next year, you will also be a father." ”

Tong Luo didn't speak, but his expression was smiling.

After lunch, Tong Luo left to find the monk Wukong.

Li Chuan walked around the house, checked the things sent by Zhang Yuanwai, and had all the New Year's pictures for eating, and after placing them, the family seemed to have some more New Year's atmosphere.

The next morning, Chang Xiao came back, he said: "Jiang Daochang went to Guyuemen, I didn't want to go so far, so I came back first." ”

Li Chuan asked curiously, "Did Daoist Jiang find something?" ”

Chang Xiao shook his head and said, "I don't know, but he said that he will be back in three days, so we don't have to worry." ”

Li Chuan nodded. He was accustomed to these monks coming and going.

Gong Er and Pan San were still in retreat, so Li Chuan asked Chang Xiao: "I'm going to find Cen Blacksmith today, are you going?" ”

Chang Xiao immediately agreed: "Okay." ”

Li Chuan took a string of bacon from the New Year's goods delivered by Zhang Yuan, and walked to the blacksmith shop with Chang Xiao. The snow on the road had not melted, and by the time it arrived, it was already too late.

The door of the smithy was closed.

Out of the house?

Li Chuan knocked on the door, but there was no response, and after he knocked a few more times, he heard a woman's voice and asked, "Who?" ”

Li Chuan was stunned for a moment and asked, "Is it Cen Blacksmith's house?" ”

There were some footsteps from inside the door, and then the door opened, and a woman wearing a dark blue placket dress with a scimitar pinned to her waist stood at the door, looked at them and asked, "What are you looking for Lao Cen?" ”

The woman didn't look young anymore, her face was weathered, but her eyes were very good-looking.

Li Chuan realized that she might be the wife of the demon hunter in Cen Blacksmith's mouth, and he hurriedly said, "Sister-in-law, I am Li Chuan......"

"Li Chuan? Showman in the town? The woman had obviously heard Li Chuan's name, she took the bacon handed by Li Chuan, got out of the way and let them in, and said: "Lao Cen went out to buy something, he has been out for a while, and he will probably come back later." ”

Li Chuan and Chang Xiao entered the blacksmith shop.

The woman took out the preserved fruit tea and entertained them, saying, "Lao Cen has been mentioning you to me, saying that thanks to you, this year's harvest is much better. She said, "My surname is Zhu, you can just call me sister-in-law Zhu." ”

Li Chuan hurriedly said: "Sister-in-law Zhu, you don't need to entertain us, I often come here, we can do it ourselves." ”

Sister-in-law Zhu was also very refreshing, and said, "Okay, you sit down for a while, and call me if you have something." ”

With that, he turned and walked back.

Chang Xiao vaguely remembered who Cen Blacksmith was, and he asked, "The last time I went crazy on the mountain, Cen Blacksmith was also there, right?" ”

"Yes, he's there too." Li Chuan said.

"The people Mr. Li got acquainted with are really from extraordinary backgrounds." Chang Xiao said.

Li Chuan just wanted to deny it, but after thinking about it, Cen Blacksmith's identity as the last heir of the Casting Star Pavilion and his demon hunter's wife were indeed not like ordinary blacksmiths.

So he said: "Cen Blacksmith's skills are very good, Qin Tianjian wants to keep him, since you are here, it is better to order a weapon by the way." Although it is not a magic weapon, it does have many unique features compared to ordinary weapons. ”

"Okay." Chang Xiao agreed and said, "It's just right, I want to get a new knife, and now this one is a bit lighter." ”

While speaking, Cen Blacksmith came back, and after seeing Li Chuan and Chang Xiao, he was very happy and said, "Brother Li, are you back?" Who is this? ”

Li Chuan introduced: "Chang Xiao Chang Gongzi, you have seen it. ”

"Oh? That one...... The great shogun Yoshiko? Cen Blacksmith looked at Chang Xiao and said, "I don't recognize you at all, are you in good health now?" ”

Chang Xiao said: "Mr. Tuo Li's blessing is great. I caused you trouble at that time. ”

"That's good," Cen blacksmith looked at him a few more times, and said, "I see that you are a good general, how can you ...... general?"

At this time, Sister-in-law Zhu came out, interrupted Cen Blacksmith's words, and said, "The wine is hot, and the rabbit and pheasant have been killed, so go and burn it." ”

Only then did Cen Blacksmith realize that he asked Li Chuan and Chang Xiao: "You haven't eaten powder yet, have you?" Also, it's hard to walk on the road today...... Sit down a little longer, and I'll be right back." ”

Then he formally introduced Sister-in-law Zhu to them and said: "This is my insider, a well-known demon hunter, whose name is Silver Knife Niang." Then he said to Sister-in-law Zhu: "This is what I have told you many times, Li Chuan, and this is Li Chuan's friend, the general's righteous son." ”

After the blacksmith Cen stewed the rabbit and pheasant, he walked back and said to Li Chuan: "You came back just in time, Brother Tong is just going to be drinking next month, and we wanted to write a letter to call you back before, but Brother Tong said that you and Daochang Wen have important things to do, and you may not be able to take it out, so I gave up." ”

He asked, "Are you done?" ”

Li Chuan replied: "I have done a few things, and there are several more in the future." He couldn't help but sigh, and after noticing it, he changed the topic and said: "In the next few years, it is estimated that it will be in the capital, so I want the brothers to get together more." Brother Tong went to ask for nothing, I came to look for you, if you have a weapon to replenish, I will take advantage of the time to make up a few more. ”

Cen Blacksmith said, "There are indeed two pieces, I want you to make up for them." I rejected the other people who came to ask, these two pieces are really hard to push, and they are willing to wait, so I agreed. ”

Li Chuan said: "I'll keep a few more pieces, I have some new ideas recently, I want to ask you for help, try to see if it can be done." ”

"What are you doing so politely?" Cen blacksmith said: "It's almost the New Year, and my blacksmith shop is closed, what do you want me to do, just say it." ”

The three of them chatted for a while, and in the middle of the blacksmith Cen went to see the stove, and after a while, he put the stewed rabbit and chicken in a basin and brought them out.

After being full of wine and food, Cen Blacksmith took Li Chuan to Changxiao to see the weapons to be repaired.
