Chapter 5 Male and female

Don't look at the Buzhuang house number is not big, but when you walk into the inner hall, it is really not small. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info I saw that there were eight black lacquer cloth cabinets placed horizontally and vertically around the inner hall, each cloth cabinet was about two zhang long, about eight feet wide, and the cabinet was full of colorful silk satin. Looking at the wall, it is densely hung with silk brocade, and the sun shines on the colorful dazzling eyes. The strange thing is that although there are many goods, there are few customers in the store, including Zhao Niantong, there are only five or six people, and there are three guys standing behind the cloth cabinet.

The two women who had come in earlier were talking to a guy on the left-hand side, mainly the older woman in Tsing Yi said, and the younger woman stood with her hands down. Zhao Niantong pretended to approach as if nothing had happened, only to hear the woman in Tsing Yi say: "Jinbao, in three days, it will be a big day for our young lady to compete in martial arts, don't you like the fabric lady who sent it to the house last time, let you hurry up and find a better one, now you have found it?"

I only heard the young man named Jinbao smile and replied: "Oh, Miss Wang, do we dare to neglect what the old lady and you have ordered? I have already prepared it for you, girl, please see ......" and took out a roll of silk from under the cloth cabinet.

Zhao Niantong fixed her eyes and looked at it, this silk luster was soft and even, bright but not dazzling, shining in the sun, although she didn't know much about it, but she could also know that this was indeed a superior product, plus women's natural love for wearing, she couldn't help but say: "Good silk!"

With this sound, Jinbao, Miss Wang and the girl in blue looked at her together. I saw a handsome boy wearing an apricot yellow robe standing in front of him, wearing a scarf, holding a folding fan in his hand, and gold silk boots on his feet, with a fair complexion and a handsome face, looking so likeable.

This Wang girl's face turned red when she saw Zhao Niantong, and she said in a whisper: "This son, could it be that you have also studied the embroidery girl red?"

Zhao Niantong was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then remembered that she was a woman dressed as a man. So he laughed and said: "Where, where, I can't talk about research, but I just understand a little, I understand a little." Especially this cloth is tender and silky, just like your sister's face, bright and shining, and it is the best in the world, which makes people love it. ”

Miss Wang's face turned even redder when she heard this, and she hurriedly turned around and said angrily: "You are a smooth person, and you are not a good person at first glance. You and I don't know each other, why are you teasing people for no reason?"

Zhao Niantong laughed and said, "Sister, don't blame, I'm just telling the truth." Under the surname Zhao Minghong, dare to ask my sister Fang's name?"

Miss Wang replied: "The little girl's surname is Wang Dan's name, and there is a Rong character."

Zhao Niantong said: "It turned out to be Sister Wang, there was a lot of abruptness just now, and I apologized to my sister here." Then he put his hands in fists and bent down to salute.

Wang Rong hurriedly stepped forward and hugged each other, and said: "Zhao Gongzi's words are serious, ......" Before he finished speaking, he suddenly felt that his right hand was grabbed by Zhao Niantong, and he hurriedly wanted to break free, but Zhao Niantong seemed to have a kind of magic in his hand, and the strength in his hand disappeared without a trace, not only that, but the strength on his body seemed to be sucked away......

Zhao Niantong grabbed Wang Rong's hand, feeling that the other party seemed to be soft and boneless as soon as he wanted to struggle, and he didn't think too much for a while, and took advantage of the situation to pull up her left hand and said: "Sister's hand is so smooth and tender, it's really a beautiful hand, and the finger is like a green onion root...... Just as he was about to say more, he suddenly heard a scolding from the girl in blue!

"Let go, you unscrupulous and evilless, let go of my sister's hand quickly, or I will be rude to you!"

Zhao Niantong looked back and saw the young girl staring at her, a pair of apricot eyes glaring angrily, her fists clenched as if she was about to hit her.

Zhao Niantong laughed, still holding Wang Rong's hand and said, "Yo, this sister is not very old, but her temper is not small. However, it looks pretty good when you get angry. It's easy for me to let go of your sister's hand, but you'll have to tell me what's your name?"

The girl in blue said, "Don't tell you! Hurry up and let go of my sister's hand, otherwise I'm going to call someone!"

At this time, Wang Rong also felt that it was unorthodox to let Zhao Niantong hold his hand all the time, so he pulled his hand out with a force, but she also blamed the girl in blue for being nosy, and turned around and said unhappily: "Shuang'er, don't be rude to Zhao Gongzi!" and then said to Zhao Niantong softly: "Zhao Gongzi, this is my family's newly bought maid named Shuang'er, an orphan, uneducated since childhood, lack of courtesy, offending Gongzi, I hope Gongzi will forgive me." ”

Zhao Niantong smiled slightly and said: "Sister Wang is too worried, I like this sister very much, and she is straightforward." Today is really a blessing in my three lives, and I was able to meet two sisters who are as beautiful as fairies. Acquaintance is fate, if my sister likes this scroll of silk, it is better to let Xiaosheng buy it and give it to my sister to show my joy. Then he went to his waist to take two pieces of silver.

Seeing this, Wang Rong hurriedly said: "Zhao Gongzi is so gracious, the little woman can't afford it! Besides, this silk is not for me, but my young lady is going to compete in martial arts to recruit relatives in three days, and the master specially asked me to choose the best materials and make a new dress for the young lady." ”

Zhao Niantong's heart moved, but he smiled quietly and said, "I see. Dare to ask my sister where is the nobleman in the mansion, and where is the place to recruit relatives?"

Wang Rong said: "You can't talk about nobles, I'm just a maid in the house." Zhao Gongzi has just arrived in Jinling in the past two days, right? You don't even know that there is such a big thing as our Chen Mansion contesting to recruit relatives? Now the common people of Jinling City know that Chen Yixin, the daughter of our protector general Chen Xiaotian, wants to openly compete in martial arts to recruit relatives on the 10th day of the first month of March, and select a son-in-law who is riding the dragon, and the ring of the contest is set up at the foot of Qinglong Mountain in the east of the city. Haven't you seen that in the past few days, many people from the rivers and lakes have come to Jinling City to practice martial arts? Now the inns in the whole city are basically full, and they are all people from all over the world who have come to participate in the recruitment meeting. ”

Zhao Niantong thought to himself, thanks to me and my senior brother who arrived a few days earlier and lived in the west of the city, otherwise we might not even be able to find a place to stay. Thinking in his heart, he asked: "In this way, the daughter of your mansion must be like her sister, with the appearance of captivating the country and the city, and being ashamed of flowers and closing the moon?"

Wang Rong's face turned red when she heard this, and she said softly: "Zhao Gongzi is really good at laughing, how can I be as good as my young lady?" If she had one-tenth of her appearance and one percent of her gentleness, she would not have had a husband so far......

Zhao Niantong said with a smile: "Sister, don't be too modest, how can there be a person in the world who is ten times more beautiful than my sister? I think that if this eldest lady is either mediocre in appearance or has a strange temperament, otherwise it is really as my sister said, there must be an endless stream of people who ask for marriage, how can she stay in the boudoir and make any competition to recruit relatives?"

Wang Rong said: "Why should I lie to Zhao Gongzi? I won't tell you that my young lady has been asking for marriage one after another since the year of cardamom. There are countless high-ranking officials and nobles and children of famous families, but the young lady can't look down on anyone, so the delay will come to the flowery years. In the past few years, the lord has been in a hurry, and he has been bitter and easy to say that the young lady agreed to the lord to hold a martial arts competition to recruit relatives. If anyone can win against Miss, Miss will promise her. ”

Zhao Niantong asked, "Oh, so your young lady is also extraordinary?"

Wang Rong replied: "Of course, Miss has personally taught kung fu since she was six years old, at the age of twelve, she worshiped Emei to send Master Ning Yuan as a teacher, and at the age of twenty, she had to be guided by Master Zhang of Kongtong.

Zhao Niantong said with a smile: "You are recruiting relatives in a martial arts competition, you don't need to be rare, only one person is enough." ”

Wang Rong said in his heart: "Seeing that this Zhao Gongzi is weak and weak, don't you also want to go to the martial arts competition to recruit relatives? This time there are many masters in the ring, I should still advise him not to act rashly, otherwise his fists and feet will have no eyes, what should I do if he is injured? But if I tell him bluntly, I am afraid it will make him displeased...... Yes, I can tell him the start time of the tournament later, and by the time he goes, it will be over, so that he has the heart but no chance. ”

Thinking of this, he said: "Zhao Gongzi seems to be quite interested in recruiting relatives, why don't you come to the scene and see my young lady's demeanor?"

Zhao Niantong said: "Don't hide it from my sister, I really have this intention." But I wonder when the tournament will start?"

Wang Rong said: "On the tenth day of the first month of March, the unitary time begins. ”

Zhao Niantong asked, "Isn't it almost dusk?"

Wang Rong replied, "Well, it's because ...... Because the martial arts practiced by my young lady will be affected by the scorching sun, only ...... Only when the sun sets, when the lights are on, can this skill be at its most powerful.

The Emei sect is mostly practiced by women, and its sex is yin. Therefore, Wang Rong and Zhao Niantong did not doubt this, but he said that he had never heard of any strange martial arts. He arched his hand and said to Wang Rong: "In this way, then in three days, I will meet my sister again at the foot of Qinglong Mountain." ”

Wang Rong looked at Zhao Niantong and thought in her heart: "I don't know if he will annoy me if he misses the competition three days later?"

Zhao Niantong saw that he was stunned, and he didn't think much about it, so he smiled and turned away.

Wang Rong looked at Zhao Niantong's back and thought in her heart: "Even if he was annoyed with me at the time, he would definitely be able to figure out afterwards that I was thinking for him." I hope he understands my hard work. Just thinking about it, he heard Shuang'er say: "Sister, why did you tell Zhao Gongzi that the competition was over?" ”

Wang Rong looked at Shuang'er and wanted to reprimand her a few words. But when I think about it, this little girl is young and ignorant, and she doesn't understand my good intentions, and if she talks to her, it exposes my thoughts. So he said: "Don't you like this Zhao Gongzi? ”

Shuang'er said: "I don't like Zhao Gongzi because he is disrespectful to his sister. And he's a light person, and he doesn't look like a good person, but even so, you shouldn't lie to him, right?"

Wang Rong didn't want to explain too much, so she turned to her guy Jinbao and said, "Jinbao, I want this silk, put the money in the account, and settle it at the end of the month." ”

Jinbao said happily: "Okay, Miss Wang, I'll find someone to send you to the house." ”

Wang Rong said: "No need. Shuang'er, you take it, let's go back. After speaking, he turned around and walked out of the cloth village.

Shuang'er said, "Yes." He lifted the silk from the cabinet, carried it over his shoulder, and strode out.

Now I looked stupid and thought to myself: "This little girl has seen her for the first time, and she has a lot of strength." It was difficult for an adult man to carry such a roll of cloth, but she actually carried it away without any effort. It seems that the helper is really right, the palace of the protector general is really a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger, and we have to pay attention to it in the future. ”
