Chapter 16 Spring Festival

The whole box was about twenty or thirty pounds, and it was as heavy as the steel gun he had made before.

The carbon fire was swaying, the sparks were flying, Zhang Zheng was putting the box on the table in the study, and his eyes were a little hot.

People who practice martial arts, who don't want to get a weapon at hand, Lu Wanyue beside him also had a trace of interest in his heart.

"Bang dang", the box made of iron and wood was opened by him with one hand, and it was a pure dark color in his eyes.

A five-foot-long sheathed knife lay quietly inside the box, slender and straight, with a delicate outer sheath, warm and moist in the hand, and no extra decoration.

"Snort", Zhang Zheng pulled out the long knife without hesitation, the blade was three feet eight inches long, the handle was one foot two inches long, and the overall length was the same as Lu Wanyue's long knife.

But the biggest difference is in the blade, this knife has a straight blade, the blade and the back of the knife have not been bent at all, the two sides are dark, the blade is snow-white, and it is engraved with a unicorn beast.

Like a knife is not a knife, like a sword is not a sword.

In the Han Dynasty, it also had another name, called the horse sword, which was also the popular Mo knife in the Tang Dynasty, a sharp weapon on the battlefield, a Mo knife, which can break heavy armor and cut cavalry.

Li Siye, a famous general in the Tang Dynasty, was able to defeat the Tubo rebels with only 3,000 Mo sword troops, which shows that the power of Mo Dao should not be underestimated.

This knife is his collection of Mo knife, Miao knife, the advantages of the knife, the knife is thick, with a special metal, even Lu Wenzhao is impossible to cut it, the blade is sharp, through the heavy armor is easy to lift, the handle is one foot two, can be held with one hand, can also be held with both hands.

There is no arc on the back of the knife, and in terms of chopping, it is not as good as Lu Wanyue's Qi family knife, but it is better than straight, and in his hands, it is more flexible.

"Huhu", his hand was slightly heavy, he held a knife in both hands, and slashed out, bringing an explosion.

"It's really a good knife, it's not in vain that I waited for half a month. It was a long time before he put the knife back into its sheath.

Lu Wan was so happy to see him, so she stretched out her hand, planning to try the knife, she thought it was only three or two pounds, but she didn't pick it up carelessly, she frowned, secretly lucked up her strength, and her slender five fingers held the handle of the knife, and the long knife immediately rose.

It's the first time she's seen such a heavy weapon, and although she can use it, it's not as perverted as Zhang Zheng.

She was puzzled: "This knife is so heavy, Brother Zheng is not afraid of fatigue?"

Zhang Zheng was afraid that she would be tired, so he took the knife from her hand and explained: "Little sister is too worried, I was born in the army, I am used to heavy weapons, and the embroidered spring knife is very uncomfortable to use, this knife may not be used by others, but it is suitable for me." ”

Lu Wan knew that what she said was true, and she was glad that she had got the weapon in her hand, and she was a little unwilling, and planned to compete with him in a few days, as long as she practiced martial arts, she would be competitive, although she was a daughter, she was still strong, otherwise she would not have come to assassinate Zhang Zheng.

As the weather warms up, the streets become more crowded, and the end of the year is approaching, many merchants and vendors take advantage of this opportunity to set up stalls in the market to sell many New Year's goods.

Up and down 5,000 years, every dynasty Spring Festival is the most solemn festival, the Ming Dynasty is no exception, the Ming people have the habit of hoarding New Year's goods, these days the streets are full of people.

Even the court had a little more festive atmosphere, the Donglin Party and the Wei Party made peace for the time being, and it was rare for the capital to have a few days of peace.

Time passed day by day, the festive atmosphere shrouded the sky, the day was warm and the sun was shining, and the people in the mansion had taken off their cotton clothes.

Zhang Zheng put on a light black samurai uniform, Lu Wanyue changed into a plain long skirt, her long hair was draped behind her head, and an emerald belt was tied around her waist.

Zhang Zheng was stunned, Ping Suli, she wore samurai clothes for convenience, dressed as a man, and now she is wearing women's clothes, Zhang Zheng only felt that his heart was beating, and he turned his head in a weak heart.

"Brother Zheng, how about looking at this body?" Lu Wanyue was overjoyed when she saw him like this, and she couldn't help but smile and quip.

"Hmm...... Pretty. He hesitated for a moment, but said honestly.

The corner of his eye glanced over, the snow-white neck, the eyes of autumn water, the skin like jade, and finally stayed on the towering chest, his heart was hot, and his face pretended to be calm.

"Nerd. Lu Wanyue stomped his feet, and the whispered Dulang, Zhang Zheng didn't hear clearly, and was about to turn his head, but Lu Wanyue directly took his hand and walked towards the street.

"Aunt Wang and Uncle Wang bought the door god and couplet yesterday, and today we will buy some food and go back. ”

The two walked on the street hand in hand, and Lu Wan looked at the dazzling things on both sides, one would ask for this, and the other would ask for that.

His heart was full of pity, and he held Lu Wanyue's hand tightly, and after a while, the hands of the two of them were full of food, she didn't feel tired at all, she was still full of energy.

"Little sister, do you want to take a break and go shopping again. Zhang Zheng showed a bitter face, no matter what era it is, shopping with girls is a fast and painful thing.

Lu Wanyue was also a little tired, so the two of them found a nearby restaurant and sat down, ordered three or five side dishes, and drank hot tea.

The food in the Ming Dynasty was already very rich, and Zheng He went to the West seven times and brought back many novelties, so even if it was such a little-known small restaurant, the food was not bad.

When I came out of the restaurant, the sun was slanting in the west, and there were no fewer pedestrians on the street, but it was windy in the afternoon, and the cold air gathered, faintly cold, Zhang Zheng took out a cloak and put it on Lu Wanyue, and the two snuggled up and walked on the street, like a close couple.

His eyes lit up, and he led Lu Wanyue towards the side of the street, where there was a jade shop selling jade not far away.

"This son, do you want to choose jewelry for Mrs. Zun?" The shopkeeper was very enthusiastic and took out a lot of jade for them to choose.

"Childe, these jade artifacts are all of the highest quality, don't worry. ”

Zhang Zheng nodded secretly, this old man didn't lie to him, the things he took out were not bad in color, style, or variety, but the price was naturally not too low.

"Shopkeeper, I want this. He chose a bracelet, and the whole body was emerald green, like a clear spring, green and oily.

"Childe, this bracelet costs two hundred taels. The shopkeeper was slightly surprised, it turned out that he had met someone who knew how to do it, and he didn't ask too much for the price.

Two hundred taels is a great fortune for ordinary people, but for him, it is just a drop in the penny, and he directly paid the silver ticket.

"Little sister, try it, it's not suitable. He turned around and brought it to Lu Wanyue with his own hands, the bracelet was just the right size.

"Mrs. Zun's show of wisdom and wisdom, the son is really a blessing. The shopkeeper praised twice.

Lu Wanyue's face immediately turned red, even the root of her neck was red, she was shy in her heart, let Zhang Zheng hold her hand, the two came out of the jade shop, and then bought a lot of food, and finally returned to the mansion when it was dark.

Aunt Wang had already prepared a meal and was waiting for them.

Nothing was said all night

The sun rises and the moon sets, and in the blink of an eye it is the Spring Festival, which is the first festival he spent in the Ming Dynasty.

There were many more people in the deserted courtyard, Shen Lian and Lu Wenzhao both came.

Both of them were single, and there was no one else in the house, so he called them together, and the brothers got together, and let go of the drink.

When Shen Lian and the two left, Zhang Zheng instructed Aunt Wang to make another table of dishes.

In the evening, Xu Xianchun stepped into the mansion under the escort of a group of brocade guards.

In my memory, in the past, the two brothers celebrated the Spring Festival, and this year was the most lively year.

He didn't shy away from it, and directly let Xu Xianchun see Lu Wanyue, Xu Xianchun saw that his brother had a crush, and he was overjoyed, and asked his subordinates to take a pair of golden hairpins and send them over, which was a meeting gift for his future brother-in-law.

Lu Wanyue did not refuse.

That night, he was so drunk that he didn't wake up until noon the next day.
