Chapter Thirty-Seven: Like-mindedness, Righteous Marriage

Zhang Xiaochuan came to the alum tower again as usual, and as soon as he sat down, a tall and burly man with a mighty appearance walked towards him. "Brother Xiaochuan, how about we together?" the man said to Zhang Xiaochuan generously, obviously extremely bold. "Of course you can, but how do you know my name?" "Hahaha, you have become a celebrity here, Zhang Xiaochuan's name, in this Bianjing City, who doesn't know which one doesn't know?" "Brother Tai praises falsely, the little brother is ashamed, I don't know what Brother Tai is called?" Zhang Xiaochuan learned the tone of the people on the rivers and lakes and was polite to him, and asked him for his surname. "It's not called Longxu. ”

The two of them introduced each other, simply ordered the food and drinks, and immediately began to drink. "Brother Xiaochuan is so handsome, what a great skill!" While drinking, Longxu did not forget to praise Zhang Xiaochuan repeatedly. "Thank you Brother Tai for the compliment, I haven't seen Brother Tai before, I guess Brother Tai rarely comes here, right?" "Well, I rarely come, but I'm very lucky. The first time I came to Alum Tower, I was very lucky to see the most wonderful performance of the Xiaochuan brothers. "Let my brother see a smile. Brother Tai doesn't look like a local. "Brother Xiaochuan, I can't hide it, I am a Khitan from the north. "Could it be that Brother Tai is a businessman?" "Haha, it's okay." "The two of them talked very speculatively, and they both drank a lot, drank to their heart's content, and chatted happily.

"Two brothers, I'm sorry, excuse me. The two of them were drinking and talking happily. Hearing someone talking to them, both of them looked up at the man who spoke at the same time, and looked at him carefully. I saw that he was tall and slender, with white skin, sword eyebrows, and gorgeous clothes. Zhang Xiaochuan and Long Xu were examining the man, but he clasped his fists and saluted, and said to the two, "Two brothers, please forgive me for being presumptuous below, and there is an uninvited invitation below." He looked at Zhang Xiaochuan and Longxu with a very respectful attitude. "Brother, please have something to say. Zhang Xiaochuan and Long Xu didn't know what his intentions were, so they said to him in unison. Seeing that the two brothers talked happily with each other, drank heartily, and had a very similar temperament when they were in high spirits. I look hot at the bottom, and I admire the demeanor of the two brothers, I don't know if I can drink with the two, and I can also see the demeanor of the two brothers. "Thank you Brother Tai for your love," Zhang Xiaochuan and Long Xu glanced at each other, stood up together and said with a smile, "It's really an honor to be able to drink with Brother Tai." "Thank you so much for your kindness!" the man said, and the three of them were no longer polite, and sat down together. "I don't know what Brother Tai is called?" The three of them were full of wine, and Long Xu and Zhang Xiaochuan asked him in unison, and when they finished speaking, they smiled at each other. "In Xia Lin Zhengjie, I salute the two brothers!" Lin Zhengjie finished speaking, and drank all the wine in the cup. Seeing him so bold, Longxu and Zhang Xiaochuan were also very happy, and it was rare to get to know two heroes in one day, and the two of them also dried up the wine in the cup.

"Lin Gongzi, I don't know where the house is, where is the brother's platform?" Long Xu saw that he was good-looking, and his clothes were extremely gorgeous, so he asked. "Let my brother Tai see and laugh, I can't say that I can't say it, I am now living in the rivers and lakes, I have no fixed place, I have no achievements, and I am ashamed. "Brother Tai must be the dragon and phoenix among people, but Brother Tai is too modest. Long Xu saw that he spoke well, and knew what he said, but he could not believe it. "Brother Tai has won the award, and I will respect the two of you below. After Lin Zhengjie finished speaking, he drank it all again. If so, the three of them worked several bowls in a row, and they were full of pride. "Shicai, don't be presumptuous in the next place, for fear that Yaxing, who has swept the two, can drink and talk to the two, it is really a blessing for three lives. "Lin Gongzi is also a temperamental person, and it is also our honor to meet Lin Gongzi, you and I are destined, and we should have a good drink!" The three of them frequently raised their glasses, talking and laughing.

"Brother Xiaochuan, in this Bianjing City, in addition to the Alum Tower, is there any fun place?" "Of course there is, there are a lot." "I wanted to take a good turn in Bianjing City and have a good time, but I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to enjoy it." Takashi said, slightly worried. "What's so difficult about this, I can be my brother's guide!" Lin Zhengjie listened to Zhang Xiaochuan's words and said immediately. "Haha, that's the best, then there are two Lao. "Brother Taixiu should be polite. ”

In the next few days, Zhang Xiaochuan and Lin Zhengjie accompanied Longxu to walk the streets and alleys, went to Washe in Goolan to listen to books, watched singing, and watched all the famous scenic spots in Bianjing. Long Xu had a lot of fun, and he couldn't stop admiring seeing the prosperity of Bianjing City everywhere.

There is one, when the three of them were drinking together, Long Xu suddenly stood up and said to Zhang Xiaochuan and Lin Zhengjie, "As the saying goes, 'A thousand cups of wine for a confidant is less', and it is said that 'one confidant is enough in life', Brother Xiaochuan, Lin Gongzi, we are considered confidants, right?" "Of course they are confidants, why do you ask such a question?" Zhang Xiaochuan and Lin Zhengjie replied very happily, but looked at him with doubts on their faces. "There is no feast in the world that will not be dispersed, don't you want to make friends with the two brothers, and I can't wait to get along with the two brothers day and night, how about we become brothers?" Zhang Xiaochuan and Lin Zhengjie glanced at each other, and the two of them said in unison. Immediately, the three of them bowed their respects. Long Xu is the eldest brother, Lin Zhengjie is the second brother, and Zhang Xiaochuan is the youngest, the third brother. "Two brothers, in order to express my gratitude to you, and to always talk about brotherhood, I would like to invite you to the Khitan party. "Thank you for the kindness of the eldest brother, such a good thing, the younger brother can't ask for it. It's just that at the moment, I still have a lot of things to deal with, and I can't leave for a while. Zhang Xiaochuan said with deep regret in his heart. "The younger brother also has some things at the moment, and when the matter is over, he will definitely go to meet the eldest brother. Lin Zhengjie also said to Longxu. "Then when is it convenient to go, as an elder brother, I am waiting for the arrival of the two brothers at any time!"

When Zhang Xiaochuan saw Zhao Dechang, he told him that he had newly married two brothers, and he might have to follow him on a long trip in a few days. Hearing him say this, Zhao Dechang became anxious, "How can this be, you leave, who will help me?" Zhang Xiaochuan said lightly, looking very careless. Zhao Dechang was even more dissatisfied when he saw it, "Looking for someone again, how light you say, where to find someone? This person must be reliable, who else is more reliable than Brother Xiaochuan?" Zhao Dechang said and couldn't help but rush with him. "Don't worry, I have a suitable candidate. "Then tell me quickly, who is this person, is it reliable?" "Let's talk about it then, anyway, I won't leave now." ”

"What kind of person have you met?" Zhao Dechang asked Zhang Xiaochuan curiously, and Zhang Xiaochuan told him again. Zhang Xiaochuan said while boasting about how good his eldest brother and second brother are, how bold they are, how good they are, how the three of them fall in love. Hearing this, Zhao Dechang was envious, and something sour also surged in his heart. "No, I want to get to know your sworn brother too. Zhao Dechang said to Zhang Xiaochuan, looking impatient. "Okay then, at most you can be the east, I'll introduce you. Zhang Xiaochuan was joking while Zhao Dechang was playing, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

Zhang Xiaochuan and Zhao Dechang made an appointment to go to the Alum Tower to see Long Xu and Lin Zhengjie, but they didn't see them a few times. Zhao Dechang felt very disappointed. Zhang Xiaochuan hurriedly comforted him, "Maybe they happened to have something to do in the past two days, maybe they have already left, anyway, there will be opportunities in the future." "You said that your sworn brother is a Khitan from the North?" "Well, is there anything wrong?" "What's his name?" "His name is Longxu." "No, no. "What's wrong?" "His name should be Yelu Longxu, he is the prince of the Khitan, he should be deliberately avoiding us." "I don't understand what you're saying. Zhang Xiaochuan didn't understand what Zhao Dechang said at all, so he had to listen to him in a daze. "I heard my father say that the prince of Khitan is called Yelu Longxu, and he is very accomplished, but his mother is more capable and has been controlling the government, and the person you are talking about should be him. "Then why is he avoiding us?" "Because the relationship between our two countries is tense, and every now and then there will be wars, there will be friction. "I see, when I see him again, I must ask him well. "What's your second brother's name?" Zhao Dechang then asked, "His name is Lin Zhengjie." "Lin Zhengjie. Zhao Dechang muttered, "I haven't heard of this person." ”

A few days later, when Zhang Xiaochuan went to Alum Tower alone, he saw Long Xu and Lin Zhengjie again. As soon as they met, Takasu asked him, "Brother Xiaochuan, how are you thinking about it?" "What are you thinking about?" "What are you thinking about going back with me?" "Big brother, are you called Yelu Longxu?" "That's right!" "Then why are you lying to me?" "How did I lie to you?" "You are the Khitan prince?" "Hmm. "Why didn't you tell me earlier?" "Does this matter?" "Of course. "I don't tell you because I don't think it's necessary, as long as we have the same temperament, no matter what our identity is, it won't affect us to be brothers, right?" asked Yelu Longxu at the same time as he asked both of them. Zhang Xiaochuan and Lin Zhengjie nodded, "That's right, we're already good brothers, so you won't care who I am, right?" Zhang Xiaochuan and Lin Zhengjie nodded again. "Come, brother, we haven't seen each other for a few days, let's have a few more drinks. Then the three of them began to drink.

"I'm going back the day after tomorrow, Brother Zhengjie, Brother Xiaochuan, I really want to spend more time with you, but unfortunately I have important things to do and can't stay any longer, are you willing to go back to Khitan with me?" "Thanks to the love of the eldest brother, I can afford the younger brother, and the younger brother is willing to go with the eldest brother, and I just want to see the scenery of the north." After Zhang Xiaochuan finished speaking, he looked at Lin Zhengjie, "I don't know what the second brother thinks?" "Big brother, third brother, I have the same mind as you, and I can't wait to get together every day, but there are still some things that have not been resolved, and I have disappointed the eldest brother and the third brother." "The second brother is serious, the coming day will be long, there is a fate to meet each other, the second brother take care!" "That is, second brother, the coming day is long, why bother to be sad about parting for a while." "Big brother, take care of the third brother! The day after tomorrow, I will take care of the eldest brother and the third brother." The three of them returned happily, and on the third day, Lin Zhengjie went without saying anything about Yelu Longxu and Zhang Xiaochuan.
