Zhao Lanjiang was a little speechless, "You pointed wrong." ”

The guy stood on the left side of the painting and pointed to a landscape map.

He didn't look embarrassed, and said casually, "Ahem, look at this fish again, it's so big, it has to be seven or eight pounds, and it may not be able to fit in a pot." There are also these heavenly thunders, such a split did not hit it, and when these few fell, it was a successful crossing. Just such a painting, such a deep artistic conception, selling it to you for thirty taels is already a conscience price. ”

Zhao Lanjiang said, "The painting is a good painting, and the fish is also a good fish, but we can't afford it, so we just pay three taels of silver, and we still save money and squeeze it out." Forget it, don't buy it. ”

When the boss heard this, he gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, okay, three or two, three or two, this painting has been placed here for almost ten years, and if I sell it to you, I will accumulate virtue and do good." ”

Zhao Lanjiang asked the guy to put the fish leaping thunder pool map into the box, got out of the antique shop, and walked towards Leijiazhuang. This is the first time he has come to Leijiazhuang, although he doesn't know the way, but he quickly found the right place along the colorful flags and the crowd of people going to the banquet.

gave a gift, and reported his name, and soon a young brother walked out of the village, this person has thick eyebrows and big eyes, and he is also handsome, and he is the young owner of the Lei family. When Lei Zhenyu saw Zhao Lanjiang, he bowed his head and bowed, "Big brother, why are you here." ”

Zhao Lanjiang laughed and helped him up, "I'll go to Yinyang, and I'll take a look at you by the way, I heard that today is your big day, it's really better to come early than to come by chance!"

Lei Zhenyu sighed, "Don't mention it, a handful of bitter tears." Saying that, he told how he met Yu Jiaxue at the Lantern Festival, how he was molested by Miss Yu, and then threatened him with suicide to force the Lei family to marry.

Zhao Lanjiang said, "I think this Miss Yu has a deep affection for you, and you don't want to live up to other people's affection." ”

Lei Zhenyu smiled bitterly, "Big brother, you don't know who I am, I'm very cheesy, the key is to look at my face!"

Zhao Lanjiang persuaded, "It's been so many years, your temper hasn't changed, and you weren't so picky when you were with me in Xichu." You have to learn to see the strengths of others, the face is not good-looking, you can look at the breast!"

"It's the same as millet that hasn't been planted, it's very shriveled. ”

"Then look at the waist. ”

"It's like a bucket. ”

"Then look at the legs. ”

"Looplegs. ”

Zhao Lanjiang waved his hand, "Turn off the lights, it's all the same!"

Lei Zhenyu said Big brother, you're here, let's go out for a drink. Saying that, he was about to take the three of them outside, Zhao Lanjiang said, "Today is not your big day, and you will have to worship heaven and earth to marry later." ”

Lei Zhenyu said, "Then Miss Yu is going to marry the owner of Lei Shaozhuang, not me." ”

"Is there a difference?"

"There are two young owners in our family, one is me, and the other is my scholar Xile, when I am not there, he is the young owner of the Lei family. He smiled mysteriously, "Don't forget what my family does, I will go out to hide during this time, and wait for the raw rice to cook and mature, and it will not be too late to break it." ”

Zhao Lanjiang knew that he was using a mask to make a golden cicada shell, so he said, "If I knew this was the case, I wouldn't bother to buy you such an expensive thing, just give you a hat." ”

Lei Zhenyu smiled, "Don't be sarcastic about me, big brother, this time you come, you have to hover for a few more days, let me do my best as a landlord." ”

Zhao Lanjiang said, "You are dressed like this, you are not afraid of being discovered by your family?"

Lei Zhenyu said yes, you wait for me for a while. Immediately returned to Leijiazhuang,

After the tea, an ordinary-looking middle-aged man, with one high shoulders and one low, slightly hunched, walked past the three of them.

Seeing that the three of them did not react, the middle-aged man returned and walked around the three of them, and Zhao Lanjiang recognized that this person was Lei Zhenyu.

If he hadn't admitted it in person, the three of them wouldn't have been able to recognize the middle-aged man in front of them and the previous radiant Lei Shaozhuang owner as one person.

Xiao Jinyan's mask was very exquisite, and even the expression on his face was vivid, and he couldn't help but praise, "It is said that the mask of Leijiazhuang is unparalleled in the world, and it is really worthy of its reputation when I see it today." ”

Zhao Lanjiang said, "You still have this mask!" he explained to Xiao and Li, "Lei Zi used to be my subordinate, when we went to Xichu together on a mission, our identity was exposed, and later this mask, followed in the caravan, mixed up with Xichu." ”

Leijiazhuang's masks also have an advantage, the identity of each mask is a forgery of the government's road guide, and it is difficult to distinguish the authenticity.

Lei Zhenyu said, "That one has long been broken, and I made a new one." By the way, the mask you asked me to make last time, I have secretly made it, and I brought it to you. ”

With that, he took out a mask from his arms and handed it to Zhao Lanjiang. This mask, which looks to be in his fifties, has a goatee and a clear appearance, but is a little shriveled.

Xiao Jinyan asked, "Whose mask?"

Zhao Lanjiang said lightly, "An enemy." ”

Xiao Jinyan naturally knew who he said the enemy was, but he didn't know what the use of him was to get a mask of Yuwen Tianlu.

No wonder Zhao Lanjiang insisted on coming to Jianmen, it turned out to be for this thing.

Lei Zhenyu did not shy away from Xiao and Li when he saw Zhao Lanjiang say this, knowing that he had a close relationship with the two, for him, Zhao Lanjiang had the grace to save his life, and his friends were naturally his friends, Zhao Lanjiang introduced the two to him, Lei Zhenyu lived in a remote place, but he had never heard of Xiao and Li.

Lei Zhenyu said, "This dough is the most proud work in my life, when you use it, soak it in water, and then apply it to your face, it can be used for ten days and a half months, no problem, even if it is wrinkled, you can soak it with water." ”

Zhao Lanjiang looked at it and said, "It's really embarrassing for you to be able to make such a similar mask when you only see him once." ”

Lei Zhenyu said in a deep voice, "In that battle of Hengduan Mountain, our Fengzi battalion made such a great contribution, and it was erased by Yuwen's old thief, wouldn't those brothers die in vain?"

Zhao Lanjiang said, "Thank you!"

Lei Zhenyu said who we are with whom, and advised: "However, if you want to disguise and change your appearance, it is not enough to rely on a mask alone, even your voice, speaking habits, mantras, and even your walking posture must be changed before it can be regarded as a real change of identity." ”

Zhao said, "I naturally know. ”

Lei Zhenyu took out a few more masks and handed them to Zhao Lanjiangdao, "Although these are not as delicate as the previous one, they are enough to confuse the real with the fake." Although Brother Xiao and Brother Li met for the first time, you are friends with my eldest brother, and I will treat you as friends, these are counted as meeting gifts and given to the two of you. ”

This kind of disguised 'mask' is what the rangers dream of going out to walk the rivers and lakes and dressing up in disguise, it is a rare thing, and the price on the market is quite high, I didn't expect Lei Zhenyu to give five or six in one go, and the two thanked them again and again.

Lei Zhenyu handed over a pamphlet again, "There are three identities in this that have been used, and they have shown their faces on the rivers and lakes, and some information is recorded on them, which is useful to you." The others are raw faces that have never been used. ”

At this time, the drum music of Leijiazhuang was heard, the main gate opened, and a team of people slowly walked out.

The person at the head was dressed in red and hung colors, riding a high-headed horse, looking exactly the same as Lei Zhenyu before, followed by the chief steward Lei Ren, and then followed by a matchmaker wearing a wedding robe, wrapping small feet, and tending to follow behind.

Twelve maids and twelve servants were escorted in the middle, and at the end were four carriages, which were filled with silk and satin, food boxes, gold and silver jewelry, and so on.

This is the greeting procession.

The "young owner" led by the three of them passed by, and when he saw the "middle-aged man", he trembled, and almost didn't fall off the horse, Lei Zhenyu squeezed his eyebrows at him and told him not to make a noise.

Zhao Lanjiang asked, "Are you doing this, aren't you afraid that your father will know?"

Lei Zhenyu said, "He wants to know, he has to pick my skin, my mother knows about it, but she won't tell outsiders." ”

The Lei family is a lone seedling, the owner Lei Ming and Mrs. Lei teach their children in a completely different way, Lei Ming has a fiery personality and believes in filial piety under the stick. From childhood to adulthood, as long as Lei Zhenyu makes a mistake, he will inevitably be served with a stick.

Mrs. Lei doted on her son and couldn't disobey her husband, so she ordered someone to secretly make a mask, and every time she was beaten, she found someone to take it for her.

As a result, the day before, "Lei Zhenyu" was beaten to the point that his skin was open, and the next day he was alive again, which made Lei Ming think that Lei Zhenyu was hard, and he beat him harder than the other.

Someone had already gone to greet his relatives on his behalf, Lei Zhenyu took the three of them to find a nearby wine shop, and said, "The three eldest brothers have come to Jianmen for the first time, so let you taste Jianmen tofu today." ”

The three of them had just eaten a tofu feast, where did they still have an appetite, Xiao Jinyan said, "I think the chicken, duck and fish meat are very good." ”

asked for wine and food, Lei Zhenyu drank with the three of them.

Back then, Lei Zhenyu ran away from home and arrived in Yinyang City, desperate, rescued by Zhao Lanjiang and joined the Fengzi Battalion.

Wine is a good thing, Lei Zhenyu can't drink enough, a few glasses of stomach, he was already drunk, began to recall the past eventful years, talked about the career of Rong Ma back then, and when it came to emotion, he fell on the wine table and cried bitterly.

"Big brother, after you left, our Fengzi battalion lost its backbone, and later Liang sent straw bale Daxing to be a guerrilla general, at the southern foot of Hengduan, he was ambushed by shadows, and the Fengzi battalion was wiped out, I was sick at the time, and I didn't participate in that mission, I hated it!"

Since Zhao Lanjiang left the barracks, he has rarely heard news from the border army, but when he heard about it today, he learned about these things, and he couldn't help but be angry, "How can Bao Daxing become a guerrilla general?

Lei Zhenyu said, "At that time, you just left, Liang Zongbing wanted Lai Ridan to replace you, but Lai Ridan said a few fair words for you, Bao Daxing villain complained, and stabbed the matter to Liang Zongbing, Liang Zongbing was furious and sent him to the West 11th Wei Kentian. ”

The border army of the Ming Dynasty is divided into battalions and soldiers, among which a total of ten guards were set up on the border of Daming and Western Chu, which were the West One Guard and the West Ten Guards.

The 11th Wei of the Ming Dynasty is located in Hulukou, which is an extremely sensitive area in the border between Ming and Chu, where the terrain is dangerous and a pass, and both countries claim this place as their territory, and many small frictions over the years have also arisen here.

Not long ago, the Hulukou garrison of West Chu claimed that three officers were missing, and sent troops to forcibly occupy the West 11 Guard, and the tun commander Lai Ridan was also nowhere to be found, which was also the fuse of the Mingchu war.

When this incident reached the capital, Long Yan was furious, and ordered the Western Army to march west for thirty miles, set up a posture to be carried out, and issued a letter of state, sending people to Xichu to ask for the guilt.

When the new emperor of Western Chu first ascended the throne, the anti-Ming sentiment in the country was high, and he was not afraid, and the two sides stationed hundreds of thousands of troops and confronted each other along the western front.

At the same time, Zhu Liye sent Du Wen, the left attendant of the household department, to negotiate with the delegation, and secretly asked Yuwen Tianlu to send people to investigate the matter, and the person at the head was none other than Yuwenshuang, the lord of Ningling County. At that time, Yuwenshuang was in Hengyang, and after receiving the order, he immediately set off for Yinyang, and met Xiao Jinyan in Shuzhong.

The four of them drank again, and Lei Zhenyu was already drunk and fell asleep on the table.

At this time, someone shouted, "The Lei family's welcoming team is back!"

On the long street, gongs and drums sounded.

Previously, the greeting team returned from Yujiabao, Yu's family was also decent, and sent twelve maids and four limousines to follow the team back to Lei's house, both of them were in Jianmen Town, when the greeting team came, it was still early, and they wanted to boast about the streets in the city, and everywhere they went, the sound of firecrackers started.

Zhao Lanjiang patted Lei Zhenyu, used his internal force to drive away the alcohol in his body, and said, "Your bride is married, hurry back, go back quickly, you don't need others to do this kind of thing." ”

Lei Zhenyu sobered up at this time, glanced at the team, and said, "Big brother, let me marry her, it's better to let me die!"

Zhao Lanjiang saw that Lei Zhenyu was in a depressed mood, and said curiously, "I want to see what this eldest lady of the Yu family looks like, so that you don't even have the courage to live." ”

It just so happened that the procession passed by the liquor store.

The woman in the sedan chair should have a red hijab, but now she is in the city to praise the street, she took it upon herself to take off the hijab, and curiously looked at the situation on the street through the curtain crack.

Zhao Lanjiang waved his sleeves, rolled up a strong wind, and lifted the sedan curtain. The woman in the sedan chair exclaimed, and hurriedly went to find the hijab.

The woman was wearing a red robe, a phoenix crown, peach eyes and apricot cheeks, and a trace of panic was revealed under her delicate appearance.

is clearly a beautiful woman, where is it as unbearable as Lei Zhenyu said?

Even Lei Zhenyu, who had just woken up drunk, was dumbfounded. The woman in the car saw the four people looking at her, her face was flushed, and she hurriedly pulled the car curtain to cover it.

Zhao Lanjiang patted Lei Zhenyu on the shoulder, "Is there a problem with your aesthetics, or is my eyes glazed?"

Lei Zhenyu said, "Half a month ago, when I saw her, she had a big mouth, thick eyebrows and big eyes, a fat waist and round arms, and when she opened her mouth, she was dusty, how did she become like this?"

Zhao Lanjiang said, "I know, when you choose a wife, you must first look at the inner beauty of the person, the appearance or something, if you don't bring it in life, you don't take it away in death, it's just a skin, and the beauty in this sedan chair is not suitable for you at first glance." It's a good match for your scholar. ”

As soon as he turned around, Lei Zhenyu had already run out of the house, and a voice came from a distance, "Brother Zhao, come and drink brotherly wine with the two eldest brothers at night!"

Zhao Lanjiang shouted, "Hey, settle the account first!"
