Chapter 173: The Martial Master's Nationality (2-in-1 Chapter)
Since Pingyang Town was changed to Pingyang County, it is possible to replace Huaiyin Mansion in the future, and the whole weather is completely different.
Except for the senior brothers who have never been seen in the Western Army, several senior brothers who do not live nearby have moved to Pingyang County one after another.
Liang Qu visited all the way along the road, but he didn't use it for an hour.
Bidding farewell to the last Senior Brother Yu, Liang Qu strode down the street into a shop, and the lacquerware on the horizontal shelves was dazzling.
"Shopkeeper Wang, have you delivered the large item I wanted?"
"Yo, Lord Liang!"
The shopkeeper walked out from behind the counter, instructed his subordinates, and personally served tea to greet him, "Lord Liang came just in time, the Huanghuali Lanqi that I told you last night was just sent this morning, how can you see it, you are not satisfied?" ”
As he spoke, two men came in from the backyard carrying a vermilion wooden shelf and resting it on the ground.
The wooden carved square plate has a bilateral frame under it, and both sides of the board are lacquered and painted, with a black background and vermilion edges, outlining the dark red cloud dragon pattern.
The front of the square board has three rows of curved wooden hooks, one in the middle in the upper row and two in the middle and lower rows.
Yang Dongxiong is a great martial artist of tiger hunting, Liang Qu can't send anything really useful, so he can only choose large items in the small category.
The so-called Lanqi is a horizontally placed weapon rack, a sword, a knife or even a spear, which is placed horizontally on it.
Ordinary warriors' homes are all vertical display shelves, the wood is improvised, and it is impossible to paint, and only the nobles will use lacquerware Lanqi.
The hairpins are endless, and Lan Qi looks at each other, among which Lan Qi refers to the illustrious family.
The last time he went to Yang's Mansion, he saw that Yang Dongxiong's Lan Qi was slightly old, and he remembered it in his heart.
The color is shiny, generous and beautiful, Liang Qu touched Lan Qi and couldn't help nodding, it was much better than the one he used in his house.
"How much?"
The shopkeeper laughed: "For others, this Lan Qi said that he would receive a whole hundred taels, but a good horse with a good saddle, a good boat with a good sail, since it is Lord Liang who wants it, I will reduce the number for you, eighty-eight taels!" How is it? ”
Eighty-eight taels, in exchange for nearly 100 stone of grain in normal times, not counting others, is enough for a family of six to eat for three years.
Liang Qu bared his teeth.
Lacquerware is already expensive, a good lacquer plate is worth several taels of silver, and the pattern carving is better, and it can easily exceed two digits.
The material used in front of the Lanqi is excellent, the lacquer is not bad, the pattern is exquisite, the piece is large, eighty-eight taels.
The shopkeeper was right, he really gave him a cheap price.
"Cheng, I want it!"
"Well, wrap it up for you and send it to the house?"
The shopkeeper took the silver ticket, didn't even look at it, and put it in his arms.
"The shopkeeper doesn't look at the real and fake?"
"No! Lord Liang is a well-known young hero in our Pingyang County, kicked the gym in March, and moved Pingyang County, I went to see it that day, clean, neat, first-class handsome, I don't know how many little women have been fascinated. ”
The shopkeeper tied Lan Qi with a red rope and pulled out a rope that could be lifted.
"My child also studied martial arts under Master Yang's martial arts hall, and it has been two or three years, and now he is a second-level martial artist.
Although it is not as good as the adults, it is a bit of an achievement compared to the neighborhoods left and right, and it can increase some face when you go out......
You take it, come often in the future, leave a word for what you want, keep the good pieces for you, don't look at it and don't care, we know a lot of people in business, I'll go somewhere else to buy it for you. ”
"The shopkeeper is polite."
Liang Qu arched his hand.
Yang House.
Seeing that it was the ninth master, the porter opened the door to let Liang Qu in, and when he heard the intention, he ran forward to tell him.
Two subordinates came up to pick up Lan Qi and followed behind Liang Qu.
When Liang Qu paced to the hall, Yang Dongxiong and Xu were already sitting on the left and right.
He stepped over the threshold and bowed.
"Disciple Liang Qu meets Master, Master!"
"Sit."
As soon as Yang Dongxiong stretched out his hand, his own maid stepped forward to make tea.
"How did you think of coming here today, but what difficulties did you encounter?"
"Just one happy event to share with Master and Master."
Liang Qu looked back, and the two subordinates carried Lan Qi into the hall.
"Lanqi?" Yang Dongxiong got up, knocked and picked it up, "Huanghuali's?" ”
"Master's eyes are like torches!" Liang Qu smiled and said, "The disciple saw that Master's Lan Qi was a little old a few days ago, so he took it upon himself to bring a new one to Master. ”
Xu smiled: "What is the joy of such a valuable gift?" Nothing to do, don't you fancy which woman do you want us to be a matchmaker for you? ”
Liang Qu blushed slightly: "As the master said, it is natural for a disciple to respect his master. ”
You don't see that there is a rule in the carpenter business, after apprenticeship, you must serve the master and the master to eat, drink and Lazar, teach to make a bench for five years, and teach to make a table for ten years.
How many decades are there in life?
After ten years of and urine, I learned to make a table?
Yang Dongxiong sincerely regarded him as a disciple, and he sincerely respected his master.
If it weren't for Yang Dongxiong to give him a platform, Liang Qu would have been in Yixing City so far, and he could only sing Lotus Fall everywhere, oh, he had to worship the master when he sang Lotus Fall.
Yang Dongxiong was very relieved and sat back in the Taishi chair.
"What the hell is the happy event?"
"Master knows that the disciple is serving in the Hebo Institute, and at the beginning of the month he was ordered to go to Fengbu County to solve the problem of the water demon hurting people, but there was another inside story, it turned out that the spirit was not a real spirit, but a person pretended."
Liang Qu briefly introduced the family history of the two brothers, Liu Jie and Liu Yi.
Including their evil deeds of sending people to pretend to be spirits to kill people, sinking ships, and using fishing pens to control the livelihood of tens of thousands of fishermen in the entire county.
"The disciples have killed all the brothers of the Liu family, and the entire Fengbu County is being thoroughly investigated by the Three Law Divisions.
Brother Xu took care of me, investigated the case and counted the thieves separately, gave me two great achievements, and another chance to be promoted, and obtained some silver coins and a black iron bow.
In addition, there is another thing, the disciple has broken the blood barrier and obtained the martial artist! ”
Martial arts masters, martial arts can be teachers.
It is definitely a great joy to be able to reach the four levels of martial arts.
"According to what you say, this whale gang has done a lot of evil, and it is not unjust to kill them!"
Yang Dongxiong is not a person who can't rub sand in his eyes, but the Whale Gang is no longer sand, but stones!
"It can be so big that most of the snakes and rats in the county government have a nest."
"The disciple thinks the same."
Yang Dongxiong looked at Liang Qu and said with a smile: "The day's life grid weighing is really correct, it is a dragon in the water, and if you go to other counties, it will be turned upside down!" ”
Liang Qu smiled.
"The disciple has gained a lot from this trip, not only the master, but also the senior brother and the mother have prepared gifts."
With that, he pulled out a palm-sized wooden box from his bosom.
The small wooden box is unremarkable, it is made of the most common poplar wood, and it is not at the same grade as Huanghuali.
Xu Shi took the box and joked: "You give your master a big piece of Huanghuali lacquerware, and give me a small wooden box?" Didn't you buy some jewelry on the way to send me away? ”
Liang Qu cried out: "The master really wronged me, if this thing is taken out and traded, it will be more expensive than the master's Lanqi!" ”
As soon as these words came out, Yang Dongxiong was quite curious: "What's inside?" ”
"Shi Niang will open it and take a look."
Xu opened the wooden box.
Inside the square wooden box, there is a round pearl the size of a fist!
No wonder it's so heavy-handed.
Xu glanced at Liang Qu in surprise and observed carefully.
The surface of the pearl is covered with a dazzling silver sheen, and if you look closely, you can see the delicate texture hidden under the luster, and the flame-like texture can be revealed against the sun.
In terms of condition and color, this pearl is excellent and belongs to a category with no price.
Nandi, who was serving on the side, saw that her eyes lit up.
Yang Dongxiong straightened up: "Such a big pearl? No, no iridescence, ivory balls? ”
Xu obviously knows more about jewelry than Yang Dongxiong: "It is a tridacnus pearl, which does not have the iridescence of pearls but has fire, and only a small number of high-quality clams pearls can form flame patterns."
What's more, it is so round, carved out of the same, which is more precious than having fire, you bought it? ”
"I can't afford it." Liang Qu shook his head, "The disciple got it in the water by chance, and he picked it up for nothing, and he didn't spend a penny." ”
Ordinary clams have no intelligence, and the pearls they produce are strangely shaped.
The old clams are different, and the intelligent creatures have their own aesthetics, just as the toad likes a big ship.
The bead plate is not rounded, and the old clams are not comfortable in their hearts, and each pearl is the same as the carved one, and the proportions are perfect.
Yang Dongxiong opened his eyes: "It's strange, can ordinary clams really give birth to such round beads?" Could it be a sapient spirit? ”
Liang Qu smiled and did not speak.
Yang Dongxiong knows that everyone has everyone's opportunities, so there is no need to ask.
"What do you think? Isn't it better than Master's Lan Qi? ”
Xu couldn't put it down, played with the pearls, and waved Liang Qu over.
Liang Qu leaned up, and was immediately poked on the door of his head by a finger, and he cooperated to cover the door of his head and fell backwards.
"Why did my sister poke me on the forehead? It hurts me. ”
"Can't you see that you're a pleasing person, and that these treasures are in a broken wooden box for me to give me an old woman?
If you marry a wife in the future, this bead is the best dowry, who is not bluffed, look at Nandi, her eyes don't roll. ”
Nan Di on the side covered her red face and stretched out her finger to poke Xu's shoulder.
"Madame......"
"It's really a random gift, I'll take it for you first, and then I will pay you back when you marry a wife."
"It doesn't have to be like this, it doesn't have to be like this, there's more than ...... on my side"
Xu's eyes narrowed slightly: "Isn't there anything better?" ”
Liang Qu coughed and did not deny it.
There are several beads of similar size in the old clams, and it is not a problem to ask for two more when they are more mature in the future.
Yang Dongxiong was shocked.
"You kid, aren't you really born in the water, growing in the water? What treasures have fallen into your hands? ”
"Master's praise, praise."
Yang Dongxiong shook his head, he couldn't even see through the nine disciples he had accepted by chance.
He turned his head to the maid and said a few words, and looked at Liang Qu.
"I killed the sturgeon before, and I asked someone to refine the Dan with a sturgeon bone, and Lin Lin made a total of one hundred and forty-two Dans.
Throw away the alchemy fee, the auxiliary medicine in the envoy of the monarch and the minister, there are seventy-eight pills, and you will be divided into eighteen pills in proportion, and I will make up a whole pill for you, a total of twenty. ”
The maid stepped forward with a tray, and in the tray were two palm-sized big-bellied medicine bottles, each bottle of ten pills.
Liang Qu took it with both hands and bowed again.
"Thank you, Master."
"Needless to say, you deserve it."
"Master, in fact, I have one more thing to say."
Liang Qu looked around, the meaning was self-evident.
"Let's go, let's go to the yard."
In April, the courtyard is lush with grass and trees, full of tender green shoots of branches, a breath of water and fresh air of grass and trees, which is faintly mixed with the fragrance of plums, I am afraid that it will be ripe in a few days.
"What do you have to avoid?"
Yang Dongxiong walked in the courtyard with his back hands and plucked an old branch from the top so that the new shoots could grow more luxuriantly.
I don't know why, if you don't pinch off the old branches at the top, the new shoots will not grow.
Liang Qu knew what was going on, but he didn't explain: "The disciple learned a new exercise yesterday. ”
"New exercises?" Yang Dongxiong turned around, "Better than "Wansheng Hug Yuan"? ”
"Yes and no, the exercises are more peculiar, more suitable for the disciple's martial bones, and can complement each other more with "Wansheng Baoyuan".
"What is there to say, this is a good thing, you don't have to tell me specifically, it's your personal ability to go far."
Yang Dongxiong didn't care, he believed that Liang Qu was not the kind of person who turned his head and worshipped others as teachers, just an exercise.
"The disciple didn't mean this, it's just that the person who taught the disciple's exercises was a little special, and it was a matter at the beginning of the month, because of that person's strength and identity, he didn't tell ...... for a long time."
Liang Qu roughly talked about the origin of the old monk.
He didn't know if the old monk was the Grandmaster of Zhenxiang or not, but he was definitely very strong.
Regardless of whether it is true or not, it is irrational to leak other people's information without permission and provoke a strong person, so he never said it.
To this day, Liang Qu feels that the relationship between the two is good, and asked the old monk this morning if he can tell others about him, and the old monk only said not to make a big deal about it.
"Image? Evil monks? ”
Yang Dongxiong didn't expect that Pingyang County would unknowingly come to a grandmaster-level figure.
"The disciple has been with him for half a month, and he feels that he is not a bad person, what he said should be true, and the master needs to be careful of the evil monk hiding in the shadows."
Yang Dongxiong nodded: "You have suffered a lot from snacks to the point of obscurity of martial bones, you should have your own set of identification methods, I believe in your judgment."
Since the other party is a grandmaster, it's better for me not to contact it rashly, it's just a matter of practice, and I can't help you see it.
If it is really the favor of the grandmaster, it is your chance, it is not good to spoil this friendship, whether it is good or evil, you should pay more attention to yourself, and you should not be too greedy and dizzy. ”
"Disciple remember."
"Have you changed your martial arts status?"
"The rush to get back."
"Then go and change it immediately, you are an official, and you don't care about that benefit, but the rules must be followed."
Siguan martial artists can go to the county government to change their household registration, and they don't have to pay taxes anymore, and they can also get a little silver subsidy every month.
Liang Qu is now an official and does not care whether he pays taxes or not, but this registration itself is a means of management.
The impact of the evil done by the four level martial artists is much greater than that of ordinary people, and it needs to be controlled to a certain extent.
"Yes, Master, disciple retires."
"Go ahead."
Not for a moment.
Liang Qu stood in front of the county office, and several Liding pushed the door open and lined up in two rows and bowed.
"Your Excellency, please come in."
Ordinary people come here, and it's good to drive them out without a beating.
But Liang Qu has a waist tag hanging around his waist, although it is not an official uniform, and that dress is not something ordinary people can afford to wear.
Generations of officials will not be so eyeless.
Liang Qu stepped in, the front and back mansions of the county government, all of them were newly built, and a trace of lacquer could still be smelled in the air.
Bypassing the wall carved with greedy beasts, a piece of pavilions and pavilions, and in the distance there are three-story wooden houses, the eaves are upturned, and there are various patterns on the walls on both sides.
The slanting sun shone on the wall, casting a half-yellow light.
It is said that it is newly made, and there is no shortage of county officials, master book offices, classic history offices, east and west flower halls, Yin hotels, and restaurants.
Sitting in the north and facing south, the left and the right are martial, the front is facing the back, and the prison cell is in the south.
Liang Qushu did not read in vain, and followed this set of "formulas" to easily find a hall house called "Hufang" in the east.
There was only one soap-robed official lying on the desk in the hall, writing official documents with a wolf pen, and when he saw Liang Qu coming, he hurriedly got up to greet him.
"I wonder what this lord is here?"
"Siguan Martial Artist, come and register and make a book."
"Can you leave a name?"
"Liang Qu, a native of Yixing City, a fish household."
The little official hurriedly turned out a large volume of "Civil Register" and found the corresponding file according to what Liang Qu said.
"Sixteen?"
The little official looked up in surprise.
Liang Qu is more than five feet five tall and has a heroic appearance, plus his official position is from the eighth grade, he thought he was a young man, and he never thought he was so young.
Sixteen-year-old from the eighth grade, four levels of martial arts......
"You can sit and rest for a while."
The little official did not dare to slack off, moved a chair, drew a red circle with a cinnabar pen behind Liang Qu's column, turned out another thinner booklet, and copied Liang Qu's information.
Nothing has to be proven.
With Liang Qu's words, he became a four-level martial artist and became a martial artist.
Although he has never concealed his own breath, his breath can be faked.
Taking individual special pills can easily create an aura that exceeds one's own strength.
Just because of the Hebo waist card from the eighth grade on Liang Qu's body, all inspections and proofreadings were tacitly omitted by the officials.
Waiting for Liang Qu to go out, it will not be three moments in time.
