Chapter 007: Planning a Marriage
Ding-ding-dong......
Jingle Bell......
With the sound of the hammering of iron, through the center of the calcination field, along the narrow passage of the flickering charcoal furnace, in a finished pavilion of about 2,000 square meters, Zhuo Song held a freshly cast long sword. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
He closed his eyes and gently stroked the sword surface, the sword body reflecting the dark yellow candlelight kept flashing bright light, only to see the long sword cold light in all directions, and the sword aura was compelling.
He turned to Zhuo Ran next to him and said, "Second brother, you come to martial arts."
Zhuo Ran took the long sword in Zhuo Song's hand, walked to the middle of the candle flame, slowly inhaled and concentrated, and suddenly a whirlwind turned, the long sword was like a storm in Zhuo Ran's hand, and the candlelight shook under the sword qi. The candle quickly extinguished as the head of the sword pointed, and a cold wind blew everywhere the sword passed.
Zhuo Song shouted: "Second brother, try its tenacity again." ”
Hearing this, Zhuo Ran turned to the iron chain on the wall and slashed at it, where the sword touched the chain, sparks flew everywhere, and from time to time it was accompanied by a tinkling sound.
After a while of sword trial, Zhuo Ran handed the long sword to Zhuo Song.
Zhuo Song closed his eyes again and stroked the sword body, then let out a long sigh, shook his head again and said: "This sword is still not good, the texture is slightly worse, and it is far from the Wahuang sword cast by my father."
"Big brother, the dark iron used to forge the Wahuang Sword is not an ordinary dark iron, it is a high-quality dark iron. That piece of dark iron is a token given by the old dart master of Pingyuan Dart Bureau for your marriage with your sister-in-law. Later, his father gave the cast sword back to the master of Mu Lao Dart to show the goodwill of the two Qin and Jin families. ”
"Yes, big brother understands. The reason why my father was able to forge such a fine sword back then was inseparable from that piece of high-grade dark iron. Alas, I don't know if I will ever encounter such a dark iron in my lifetime. ”
Although Mu Liangsheng, the dart master of the Pingyuan Dart Bureau, is good at martial arts, but the weapon is an extension of the human body, and the Wahuang Sword makes him even more powerful. With the help of the spirituality of the Wahuang Sword, Zhuo Song's father-in-law Mu Liangsheng became famous in the rivers and lakes, ranking fourth on the Huangya list.
It is rumored in the rivers and lakes that the dark iron used to cast the Wahuang sword has a tortuous and legendary origin. It is said that when Mu Liangsheng's ancestors went to the Western Regions to dart, they encountered an unfathomable valley mouth on the dart road, and everyone was cautious, for fear of falling down. At that time, the temperature was very high, and there was not a trace of wind in the air, but without warning, a strong gust of wind struck, causing the darts to roll on their backs and some of the darts to the bottom. Without darts, it is not only difficult to make a difference to the firm, but also affects the reputation, so the Pingyuan Dart Bureau can only go down to the bottom of the valley to search. Strangely, from the mouth of the valley to the bottom of the valley can be described as an abyss, but the dart is undamaged. Upon closer inspection, it turned out that the dart had fallen to a piece of brown soft soil, and under the soft soil was the high-quality and high-quality black iron. It is speculated from time that the piece of dark iron should have been lying quietly at the bottom of the valley for thousands of years, and it has slowly softened the surrounding rock formations into soft fine soil.
This incident caused a lot of commotion in the rivers and lakes back then, and many people wanted to buy the piece of dark iron from the Pingyuan Dart Bureau at a high price, but they were all refused. At this point, the Pingyuan Dart Bureau regards this dark iron as a treasure, and it is generally not easy to take it out for display. At the beginning, due to the great power of the Pingyuan Dart Bureau, the people in the rivers and lakes did not dare to have any thoughts about this piece of Xuantie. However, in the thirty years of Hedong and thirty years of Hexi, with the passage of time, the Pingyuan dart game gradually declined, and some people in the rivers and lakes began to move.
Bai Bi is not guilty, but Huai Bi is guilty. Just like Pan Jinlian to Wu Dalang, when there is no ability to preserve, possession is also a mistake, and it is also a fatal mistake.
So far, this piece of dark iron has gradually become the lead of the disputes in the rivers and lakes, and it has almost changed hands several times. Until Mu Xuan's father, Mu Liangsheng, was gifted and practiced good martial arts. After marrying Zhuo Jian Villa, he turned that piece of Xuantie into the Wahuang Sword, and the Pingyuan Dart Bureau once again shocked the rivers and lakes, and the story of that piece of Xuantie came to an end.
Although the epic has been turned over, the obsession of the people in the rivers and lakes with high-quality and high-quality dark iron is still continuing, especially those who are in the sword and dark iron business.
"Big brother, if you want to make a good Xuantie, it's not very difficult. Zhuo Ran said with confidence.
"I don't know the second brother, why do you say this?" Zhuo Song was surprised.
"Big brother, if you want a good Xuantie, then you have to find your in-laws. ”
"My in-laws?" Zhuo Song heard a little inexplicably.
"Yes, big brother. Have you forgotten that seventeen years ago, didn't you give Yifan a baby kiss? It was Yue Hongtang's daughter of Xuantie Mountain Villa, Yue Linglong. ”
"Xuantie Villa, oops! I said second brother, how did I forget such an important matter. Yes, it does. ”
At first, Zhuojian Villa and Xuantie Villa were just simple business dealings. Later, because Xuantie Villa became the largest iron supply channel of Zhuojian Villa, the relationship between the two families became closer and closer.
Just when the relationship between the two families was hot, Mu Xuan became pregnant, and Yue Hongtang's wife was also pregnant at the same time.
Both of them were old and had children, and when they were happy, they made an agreement: if two families had a boy at the same time, they would be brothers, if they had a girl at the same time, they would be considered sisters, and if they had a boy and a girl at the same time, they would be married.
Later, Mu Xuan gave birth to Zhuo Yifan is boy, and Mrs. Yue Hongtang gave birth to a girl, and the two families decided to marry the baby.
Speaking of Xuantie Villa, it is a great sect of high-quality Xuantie. Since the Zhuo family opened the mountain to cast swords, Xuantie Villa has existed on the rivers and lakes for a hundred years. For generations, their family has been providing dark iron for casting weapons, and they can be regarded as the leader in the dark iron industry.
However, within a few years of Zhuo Song's takeover of Zhuo Jian Villa, the rivers and lakes gradually calmed down, and the sword business became more and more bleak. The fame of Zhuo Jian Villa then became more and more declining, and the channels for selling swords became narrower and narrower, so that the business dealings with Xuantie Villa continued to decrease, and the relationship with Xuantie Villa became more and more weak.
For more than ten years, as the movement of the two families decreased until they disappeared, Zhuo Song's marriage was gradually forgotten.
"Big brother, Xuantie Villa is indeed a great sect of high-quality Xuantie. If our family business is successful, as a family, what else is there to ask for?"
"It's good if it can really be done, but I haven't moved around for so many years, I don't know if Yue Hongtang can still admit it?" Zhuo Song sighed on his back.
"I guess there is no problem. Xuantie Villa is a hundred-year-old village, Yue Hongtang is frank and upright, and he is a trustworthy and chivalrous person. Ordinary and long-term talents, our Zhuojian Villa and Xuantie Villa are also a good match, I think this marriage will definitely be successful. Zhuo Ran smiled.
Having said that, Zhuo Song was still a little worried. As the saying goes, distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, and the more relatives go, the closer they become. I think that at the beginning, the two families only made a verbal marriage contract, and after such a long time, I am afraid that this marriage will change.
"Big brother, it's not a way to just guess right now. Or just back up the generous gifts, take Yifan, and visit the Xuantie Villa in person. ”
"It's a good idea, we should walk around with them more and try to get back together. As for our Zhuojian Villa, although it does not have the glory of the past, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, as long as that love is there, the marriage between our two families should not be a problem. Now what I'm most worried about is Yifan, who is causing trouble in the villa all day long, doing nonsense. I'm not afraid of your jokes, plus your sister-in-law is so doting, your eldest brother and I really have a headache!"
"Big brother, it's understandable that my sister-in-law loves children. Besides, Yifan is just a child in our eyes, and it is understandable to love him more. The key is that Yifan is still young now, young people are like this, you see we were naughty and naughty when we were young, and everything is fine when we grow up. ”
"Alas, second brother, you are the only one who says this, comforting my heart. I don't think Zhuo Yi is very good, and it is not like Yifan, like a wild horse that has escaped. ”
"Big brother, don't mention Zhuo Yi, the roots of my teeth are itchy when I mention him. ”
"I said second brother, what makes you so angry?" Zhuo Ran's words made Zhuo Song very confused.
"Big brother, that's right. In recent days, I have always found that Zhuo Yi, a bastard boy, has been mixing with Duan Zixiong all day long, and that Duan Zixiong is the son of Duan Yifeng of the Western Harrier Cold Ice Sect. ”
People in the rivers and lakes know that Duan Yifeng is not a decent person. He is not only ruthless, but also insidious and cunning, and no matter how careful he is, he can be calculated. I heard that his son Duan Zixiong also inherited his mantle in this regard, and he is better than the blue, and he is even more insidious and vicious in his life.
That's why Zhuo Ran is so worried about his son Zhuo Yi.
"Is this really the case? Zhuo Yi definitely can't mess around with this kind of villain all day. Our Zhuo family has been honest and honest for generations, and we must not destroy our century-old reputation in our hands. Second brother, the matter is important, this matter cannot be handled sloppily, sooner rather than later. I think Zhuo Yi has also reached the age of a weak crown, so it is better to let him go to the forging pavilion to learn sword casting first, so that he can stay away from those sinister people in the rivers and lakes. Zhuo Song muttered.
"Big brother, I think that's all I have to do now. Zhuo Ran echoed softly.
There is nowhere to find the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get them. No, just when Zhuo Song was worried about forging the sword, his younger brother Zhuo Ran's words opened his mind. He felt that everything had suddenly become clear, so he immediately went back to tell his wife Mu Xuan about the proposal.
"Madam, do you remember Xuantie Villa, didn't we have a baby kiss with Xuantie Villa back then. I think that this marriage can not only allow Yifan to start a family and mature as soon as possible. It can also provide me with high-grade dark iron for forging a famous sword in the future, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone. Zhuo Song said slowly, brushing his beard.
"yes, that's a good idea. After all these years, it's time to pick it up now. Besides, Fan'er has also reached the age of marrying, sir, I think it depends on your wishes. Mu Xuan obviously agreed.
"The lady agreed, then I will do it tomorrow. Zhuo Song grinned happily.
