The shouting was timely, and the refined copper sledgehammer paused in mid-air, and everyone turned to look at Wei Da standing in the door.

"This is the cousin of the Wei Shuai family?"

Wei Da nodded lukewarmly.

Everyone bypassed Qi Tang like a tide, and instead surrounded Shen Li. "Do you have any cousins with the Wei family?"

Shen Li gasped, took out the mediation method in the mall, pretended to be calm, and talked and laughed, "Everyone, don't misunderstand." In Xia Shen Li, the head of the Shen family in Jiangnan. Passing by your house today......"

Before he could finish speaking, Wei Da in the door reminded loudly, "This is not a relative of the Wei family. It is not the first time that Shen Da has led people to the door to provoke. ”

The big men who poured out of the Wei family shouted angrily, "It turns out to be a habitual offender!" "I have repeatedly come to the door to provoke, and I am very bold!" "Wei Shuai is recuperating at home, but he can't be at peace? Damn it! "Isn't he bold! Watch Lao Tzu blow up his x with a hammer. ”

The faces of the Shen family's cronies were as pale as dirt, and Shen Li was surrounded by men with various weapons, seeing that even the man's x was about to die, but out of the corner of his eye, he saw Qi Tang leading the Qi family to retreat outside the encirclement, relying on the identity of the Wei family's cousin, and looking at his jokes like no one else.

Shen Li: ??

Anger rose from the heart, evil grew into the guts, and Shen Li let go. Fuck it, why did the two of them make an appointment to come to the door, and only he was hammered x!

Shen Li pointed at Qi Tang and shouted, "I made an appointment with Qi Shizi to come to the door to find the master of the Wei family, it doesn't matter how high or low my status is, whether I am rich or poor!" My Fair Lady, Gentleman. We and the Wei family and Langjun all love the little lady Ye, why did the Wei family take advantage of the neighbor's geographical advantage to get the moon first near the water? Get out of the way! I, Shen Li, came to the door today in a dignified manner, and I want to make an appointment with Wei Sanlangjun! ”

Shen Li went out, simply strode past the stunned crowd, pointed to the open door of the Wei family and shouted:

"Wei Jialangjun! Don't huddle in the house and let others stand up for you! It's a real man, just go out by yourself! ”

The big men collected their weapons, gathered in one place and muttered, "So that's the case, the surname Shen came to the door to make an appointment for the little lady of the Ye family next door, and it was really difficult for me to come forward for Wei Shuai." ”

"Yes, Lao Tzu went up and hammered his x, which is not right."

"Wei Shuai is seriously ill and hurts his vitality, how can I make an appointment with him?"

"A Jiangnan businessman, is it possible to compete with a fist horse race? What are you afraid of, call Wei Shuai to come out and compare with him! ”

"Wait! He is a big businessman, if he compares with Wei Shuai and reconciles accounts, who can compare with his surname Shen? ”

"Hey, you say that, it's really ......"

The people outside the Wei family were full of voices, and all the men surrounded the three layers inside and three layers outside, and there were many discussions.

In the Ye family's door, Qin Long and Su Qiu listened to their ears, and the more they listened, the more wrong they became, Su Qiu quickly stepped into the inner courtyard and transferred the original words to Ye Fuliu.

Laughed at Ye Fuliu.

"The more Shen Da and Qi Shizi are tossed, the more they are excited." She got up and paced half a circle in the courtyard, stopped outside the door of the firewood house, and sighed, "It's been so much trouble today, blame me." ”

Su Qiu: ?

Su Qiu tried to explain: "Lady, don't blame yourself. Today's disturbance outside the Wei family is purely a dog day with a northwest wind blowing - inexplicable. It has nothing to do with you. ”

Ye Fuliu shook his head, "Okay Suqiu, help me go to my brother to inform me about the outside world." My third brother is quiet and afraid of life, and today there is a lot of noise outside the door, and he is afraid of disturbing him in the house. ”

"Hey." Su Qiu hurried to Ye Jialangjun Ye Xianchun's courtyard.

The door of the firewood room was hidden, and Ye Fuliu opened the door casually, revealing seven or eight thin wooden long boxes stacked high in the straw pile, all of which were tailored to the eight-foot body shape of an adult man.

The days of Wukou Town are too peaceful, and her daily life is too idle.

Eat and drink every day, open the door to do business, count money behind closed doors, and chat and laugh with Wei Saburo next door when he is free......

Isn't this dragging around, troublesome to find the Wei family?

"Actually, I've been doing a lot of work. No one came to the door to make trouble, and they forgot to use it in the firewood room. ”

Ye Fuliu touched the thin wooden long box one by one, and sighed faintly, "Blame me for being lazy." ”

Coming out of the firewood room, Ye Fuliu approached the courtyard wall and raised his voice, "San Lang! Can you do it on the wooden floor? Can you hear me? ”

The east-facing bamboo curtain is rolled up, revealing a slender figure behind the curtain.

Wei Da followed Wei Huan's side, his brows furrowed, and he was replying to something. After listening to Wei Huan's railing, he looked down and said hello slowly.

"Wei Da told me. It's not a big deal, I'm going to go out and do it. ”

Ye Fuliu was not at ease, "Your cousin can be handed over directly to Wei Da." Shen Lixin has a lot of eyes! Don't easily respond to his provocation, you are not familiar with the business routine, don't follow his way. ”

Wei Huan smiled slightly, "I would like to see a thing or two." ”

Turned around and went downstairs.

Ye Fuliu was standing under the courtyard wall, looking at Wei Huan's back as he went downstairs, when there was a rush of footsteps behind him, and Ye Xianchun rushed from across the courtyard.

"I listened to Su Qiu and said something big. A local merchant magnate and a nobleman from Jiangning Mansion were jealous outside the Ye family, and Wei Sanlang was also involved? What does he think of you? What are the other ones? ”

The more Ye Xianchun thought about it, the more suffocated he became, "There is such a big commotion outside the door, someone will definitely report to the official." - Niang, I'll block it for you, you go quickly. ”

Ye Fuliu poured him a cup of tea on the stone table, patted his back and said goodbye.

"Don't panic, don't panic. The third brother doesn't need to worry, the officials in the town are chasing heads, and I know them well. The neighbors and the Ye family are also familiar with each other. Even if someone reports to the official, it won't be us who takes the lock. ”

Ye Xianchun took a long breath and sat down to drink tea.

He held his trembling hand uneasily and muttered to himself, "I can't breathe when my brother is nervous." Hey, I've been so old. It's still a young lady, you are calm in trouble. ”

Ye Fuliu patted him on the back soothingly, "It's not a big deal outside the door, don't mention it yet." The third brother came to appreciate and appreciate the good things, and they were at ease. As he spoke, he opened his purse, took out the mutton fat jade card and handed it over.

"Good stuff." Ye Xianchun didn't let go of it, he looked over and over again, his originally tense expression gradually stretched, and his hands didn't tremble.

"Smooth and delicate, high-quality flawless jade, with excellent carving. The shot is worth at least 800 times. Where did you get such a rare and good jade? ”

Ye Fuliu: "It was sent by Wei Saburo next door." They are the heirloom jade of the Wei family. ”

"......" Ye Xianchun grabbed the jade plate, his eyes gradually frightened.

"He, he, he even gave you the heirloom jade plate? You ...... between you."

"On the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, he gave me a jade plaque, and I accepted it. It should be between me and him," Ye Fuliu thought for a moment, "I like him, and he likes me." I want to persuade Saburo to join the relationship with the Ye family. ”

Ye Xianchun: "......"

Ye Xianchun: "Quick, get another good thing." I couldn't breathe. ”

Ye Fuliu quickly brought the small golden silk Nanmu box at the head of the bed, quickly stuffed it into Ye Xianchun's arms, and pointed out the rare seven-ring secret lock to him.

Ye Xianchun exhaled a long breath, fiddled with the copper ring of the secret lock a few times, and his expression calmed down.

——

Ye Fuliu appeased his brother and rushed to the door, the sturdy man surrounded by three layers and three layers outside the door of Wei's house had long since disappeared, and there was only a circle of probes around to look at the lively neighbors.

The Wei family locked the door.

Asked about the neighbors around, the lady of the Li family, who has always talked a lot, described the grand occasion just now, "Wei Jialangjun came out to see his cousin, and he said a few words on both sides, and asked to go to the city to compete!" ”

Ye Fuliu: "...... What are the two of them competing? ”

Li family lady: "Who knows? There was a lot of commotion around them, and they couldn't hear what was being said inside. We only saw that Wei Jialangjun and his cousin had all gotten on the tall horses and led the people on both sides away. The dozens of big men around followed. ”

Ye Fuliu looked around: "The cousin of the Wei family has taken people away, what about the Shen family?" ”

"Shen Da was reluctant to go at first, saying that he was a businessman and that he did not compete in martial arts, but Langjun of the Wei family told him that he would not compete in martial arts, and that he would try something else, and the Shen family also followed."

Ye Fuliu: "......" If you don't compete, what do you compare? Do you want to reconcile the accounts?

She asked, "Where did all of them go?" ”

"Who knows. Ride a horse down the long street to the south, hurry! ”

Ye Fuliu thought about returning home, immediately greeted Qin Long, and prepared to go.

"Go out and hire a big donkey cart. Yes, the largest one, in addition to carrying me and Su Qiu, the kind of cart that can hold two eight-foot-long wooden boxes. ”

Chapter 49

"Hit the target!"

The Ginkgo Mountain Road on the edge of the town is densely shaded and rarely populated. The silvery autumn leaves fell all over the ground.

One hundred and twenty paces away, on the trunk of a large ginkgo tree, a straw man arrow target was hung high, and two iron arrows roared into the haystack.

One is in the middle of the heart, and the other is slightly off.

Wei Da dragged the grass target over to the roadside to display, Wei Huanle stopped his horse, leaned over to check for a moment, and calmly said to his side, "I haven't done juvenile things for many years. But today you come to your door, and I don't bother to do anything to hide from it. ”

"You say you're the best at riding and shooting, so I'll compete with you. Riding, archery, the last game, what do you need to compare? ”

Qi Tang's face turned red.

He has been practicing archery since he was a child. Even if his literary style is mediocre and he has no great achievements, at least in the high-ranking family in Jiangning City, when it comes to riding and shooting heroically on horseback, he Qi Tang is called second, no one dares to call him first, and his family is proud of him. As his father has been saying since he was a child:

"Honorable family, family history. There is no need to fight with those poor scholars for the imperial examination. ”

But today, he suddenly discovered that the archery he was proud of could not be compared to even a sick cousin who was emaciated and not yet fully ill...... What have I practiced for so many years!

With two wins in three games, he has lost two games in a row, so does he have to compete in the last game?

His sick cousin Wei San, who had come from the north, stopped and was still talking to him with a motionless expression.

"Spoiling has no good life. Cousin, you are about to turn 20 years old, and you can't do anything, do you plan to live in the name of the Guogong Mansion for the rest of your life, eat and drink in the Jiangning Mansion, and live a mediocre life? ”

Qi Tang's flushed face suddenly turned white.

Has he been ...... for so many years? Are they all written or not?

Wei Huan lowered his head and thought about it, then shook his head with a smile. "Medioccrity also has the benefits of mediocrity, at least people live a safe life, and they can bear the knees of their parents. That's fine. He hung the longbow in the saddle, turned the bridle, and asked, "What is the third contest?" ”

The tone was soothing, the attitude was peaceful, and he even took the time to admonish Qi Tang a few words in the middle of the competition. Where is the love rival who is extraordinarily red-eyed, it is clearly the patient attitude of the elders who cannot guide the talented juniors!

Qi Tang stood still for a moment, tears of shame gradually filling his eyes.

He wiped his eyes fiercely, turned the horse's head silently, raised his whip and shouted, "Drive!" "Rode his horse and galloped away into the mountains and forests in the distance.

Behind him, a group of slaves hurriedly followed, "Where is the son going!" "Wait, little ones!" "Do you want a wet hand towel to wipe your face?"

Wei Da leaned against the trunk of the tree on the side of the road and watched, and muttered to Wei Er, who was squatting on his side,

"Finally sent one away. This time, Qi Shizi was convinced, and people were ashamed to cry, so he won't come again in the future? ”

Wei Erchong pouted beside him, "There is another one." This is an old Jianghu, a shrewd person, with a lot of eyes, and he doesn't know what to try with Lang Jun. ”
