After Da Kui left, he hurriedly came over to help Yang Xiaohu get dressed, and went outside the courtyard to find Da Kui's iron spear standing at the base of the wall.

Yang Xiaohu took the iron spear and choked and walked to the plate: "Thank you, big brother." This is the first time that Yang Xiaohu has called Brother Panbu, and Panbu smiled honestly: "They are all brothers, what are you polite?" The two brothers looked at each other and smiled, and then they continued to practice separately.

In the next few days, Yang Xiaohu was no longer afraid of hardship and tiredness, but practiced diligently. First, he practiced with a gun to a hundred moves, and slowly reached more than two hundred moves, and ten days later, Yang Xiaohu could practice the Yang family gun completely with an iron gun.

Severe winter snow, the north wind howling. Although it was very cold, Yang Xiaohu could often be seen practicing guns in the courtyard with his upper body sweating barely, every move and every style was accurate and in place, and the gun was swung with the sound of whirring and breaking the wind. After practicing, Yang Xiaohu put on a cloak and went to the room to rest for a while, and when his strength recovered, he came out to practice again.

In the blink of an eye, Da Kui finally told Yang Xiaohu that he didn't need to practice. Because Yang Xiaohu has been able to hold this iron oolong gun and completely practice the Yang family gun three times in a row, Yang Xiaohu does not have the divine power of Da Kui, but it is a little difficult to make this iron oolong gun. But Yang Xiaohu is resilient and willing to endure hardships, and it has surprised everyone to be able to enter the country like this in just over half a month.

The Chinese New Year's Eve dinner was placed in the front hall, and the lights up and down the Zhang Mansion were very lively. Everyone gathered in the front hall, regardless of whether they were high or low, rich or poor, and sat at five tables.

During the banquet, Da Kui raised his glass first and said, "Come on, come on, everyone raises their glasses." As the saying goes, the days increase and people increase their longevity, and I, Zhang Dakui, am also thirty-three, everyone drinks some wine and presses it, I heard that such an old man is slow!" The words caused the audience to laugh. When Da Kui drank it all, everyone drank the wine in the cup together.

Da Kui has been leading the way to drink three glasses of wine, all of which are witty and make everyone laugh. Da Kui put down his wine glass and said loudly: "Although I, Zhang Dakui, am a second-class court official, I am also from a bitter background. I don't know how other big officials celebrate the New Year, but since they have entered my Zhang family, they are my Zhang family. It's the New Year, everyone will go to the account room tomorrow morning to receive ten taels of silver each, and the parents will go home to visit their parents in Yingtian, and those who have no relatives in Yingtian will stay in the house for the New Year!"

As soon as this statement came out, it immediately won a full house, and the maid only received 100 wen per month, and the male servant 150 wen. Da Kui once said that each person was ten taels of silver, how could everyone still have a reason not to go crazy?

(In ancient times, the servants were all children of ordinary people's families, and in order to earn a living, they went to large families to do some chores and odd jobs to ask for some money.) Some people had a hard time and sold their children to large families as slaves for life, and such servants had no money to receive. Ten taels of silver is a lot of money in ordinary people's homes, and they have to save for a few years without eating or drinking. ）

Da Kui smiled and said: "I, Zhang Dakui, have always been kind-hearted, no matter who is in trouble, just open your mouth to tell me." I can do what I can do, and I want to do what is difficult to do! Hearing this, Huang Ying pulled the sleeve of Da Kui's robe, and Da Kui hurriedly clung to it.

Huang Ying asked in a low voice: "Why does the husband give each person ten taels of silver? There are more than 20 servants in the house, isn't that more than 200 taels of silver? You and I have not enough silver for a month. ”

Da Kui replied in a low voice, "I'll tell you more about it when I get back." Huang Ying didn't say anything anymore when she heard this, smiled and raised a glass with Da Kui to deal with the people who came to toast and thank you.

After everyone finished eating, they went back to their rooms to rest, Da Kui and Huang Ying returned to the back bedroom, and Huang Ying asked again: "Why is the husband so lavish, you must know that life will be a long time, and ten taels of silver per person is indeed too much." ”

Da Kui smiled lightly: "There are some things that Mrs. doesn't know, my husband has been assassinated in Tiantai County, and I always feel that there is something strange in it, the enemy is in the dark and I am in the light." So be careful in everything, you and I alike. Da Kui paused and said: "Although we gave up these more than 200 taels of silver today, we can make the people in the family not disagree with us." ”

Huang Ying couldn't help but complain: "How can things be as simple as you think? There are many underworld methods in the rivers and lakes, if they tie up the family of one of the subordinates and force that person to do things, what is the use of you giving him more money?"

Da Kui laughed and said, "It's still Mrs. smarter, hehe." Da Kui immediately said: "It's good to spend some silver money to buy a peace of mind, these subordinates are not easy, these more than two hundred taels of silver should be regarded as a good deed." ”

Huang Ying nodded and said, "Well, everything in the slave family is subject to the husband's arrangement, but if there is such a thing in the future, you have to discuss it with me!" Da Kui smiled: "That's natural, let's rest in peace late at night." ”......。

The night sinks like water, and the north wind gusts. There was a whirring wind in the courtyard of the front house, and Yang Xiaohu began to practice guns again after eating Chinese New Year's Eve dinner. He had a wish in his heart that he wanted to practice martial arts as well as his father-in-law. He firmly believes in the truth of dripping water through stone and iron rods to sharpen needles, although he is sweating like rain at this moment, Yang Xiaohu is still waving an iron gun and shouting again and again.

The bedroom of Panbu is next door to Yang Xiaohu, and the lights in the rooms on the front and back have been turned off, but Yang Xiaohu has not yet returned. Panbu had just washed his feet, and because of the doubts in his heart, he put on his shoes and socks and walked out of the room. Looking around, there was still no trace of Yang Xiaohu, and he couldn't help but think of the courtyard where he was practicing.

It was really as imagined, I heard Yang Xiaohu's voice from afar, and when I arrived in the courtyard, I saw Yang Xiaohu practicing guns, and every move was serious and hardworking. You must know the weight of the iron spear, and it is easy to dance a hundred and ten moves. But if you want to use it for a long time, you have to do it with divine power.

Seeing Yang Xiaohu working so hard, he couldn't help but feel very ashamed. He turned around and walked back to his bedroom, took a double knife, and carried a large lantern back to the small courtyard.

When Yang Xiaohu saw Panbu, he couldn't help asking, "Why doesn't the eldest brother sleep yet?"

Panbu hung the big lantern under the eaves of the porch, turned around and said with a smile: "How lonely you are practicing alone? "Saying that both hands are divided into two knives, and the starting hand of the Liuhe knife method is opened, and then I saw that the pan walked like a swift wind sweeping the ground, and the knife light seemed to be haunted by practice, and he had begun to concentrate on practicing.

Yang Xiaohu smiled: "Okay, the two of us will dance under the moon tonight." Saying that, he shook his hand and lunged the spear, and then turned around to sweep the gun, and the spear cherry blossoms flew and brought up a circle of flying snow, which was cold and beautiful.

Exactly: it's not too late to work hard, don't let the wrong time .......
