Chapter 168
Shi Zheng hurriedly said: "Young master, you don't have to be anxious, the two young ladies took your group of apprentices to go to the customs to purchase cattle and sheep earlier." I pondered, if I don't come back tonight, tomorrow will be tomorrow. Tianxiao's heart was happy, so he asked: "How many cattle and sheep are estimated to be needed on the seventh day of the wedding?" Shi Zheng said: "I have asked the chef to calculate, even if there is a restaurant in the house, there should be no less than 100 strong cattle and 300 fat sheep in seven days." The others have already been contacted, and I gave the list to the sixth master. Now Tianxiao's heart was clear, and he nodded and waved his hand and said, "Then you go to sleep." Then he walked to the backyard, met Qingyun on the stone arch bridge, and saw that she was very anxious and asked, "What's wrong?" Qingyun sighed a few times and said, "My mother just came to me and said that she couldn't take out meat to sell to the diners, and the diners were complaining, saying that there was no food to drink, and this wine was not pleasant." My family doesn't have much money to earn, and the whole family is in a hurry, so let me come to you for a way. Tianxiao nodded and smiled, and said comfortingly: "Don't be anxious, I'll figure out a way, I have to go to your father first." ”
Just like that, the two of them left the house and went outside the city. Tianxiao found his father-in-law and said, "Dad, let people come out of the open space immediately, and then find a good butcher, boil water in a cauldron, and be ready to kill cattle and sheep at any time." When Li Song heard this, he asked: "Good son-in-law, where did these cattle and sheep come from? Qingyun also said: "Xianggong, you won't slaughter the twelve dowry cattle and sheep in order to save my family's urgency, this is unacceptable." Tianxiao said that the peony and they went to buy cattle and sheep outside the customs, Li Song was relieved, and he was busy preparing a qiē, and Qingyun followed Tianxiao to wait for the peony and their cattle and sheep at the intersection.
But it wasn't until the Li family surrounded the venue and found a butcher. The ten pots of water were all boiling, but the shadows of the cattle and sheep were not known, and everyone was in a hurry. At this moment, Lang Na Gege and the house slave maid who came to marry rushed ten strong cattle and fifty fat sheep, and when they saw Qingyun, they said: "Quick, Lao Jiu, kill and send it to the kitchen, it will be served soon, don't delay the business." At this point, Qingyun had no other thoughts than gratitude. Busy handing over the cattle and sheep to the butcher. Li Song asked, "Lady Twelve." How do you know that my family is in urgent need of cattle and sheep, did he say it?" It was Shi Er who came to sue me just now, saying that Gongzi was dangling outside the cattle and sheep pen. I thought about yesterday when I went out of town. Behold, your table is full of vegetarian food. At the time, I thought it was strange, but I didn't think about it deeply. Now that I think about it, that's what the husband wants my cattle and sheep. But he couldn't open his mouth to me, so I came on my own. Li Song smiled and pointed out that Tianxiao was busy with business. Lang Na Gege stretched out her hand and twisted Tian Xiao's arm and said, "I have given it to you, what are the cattle and sheep, if you treat me like this again, I will go to the master to sue you." Hmph, say you bullied me. Tianxiao hurriedly made a gesture of begging for mercy, smiled and hugged Lang Na Gege and said, "Good Susu, I won't dare to bully you if you beat you to death." By the way, there are more than 200 acres of land in your family, go back and ask your father, what do you want to do?" "What, this land is from the house?" Tianxiao nodded and said, "I just took it down from Master Zhang, and you families have one piece." After that, he wanted to take Lang Nagege master and servant to look around this land, but just after walking a few steps, he heard a sound of cattle and sheep, and hurriedly looked at it, only to see that under the moonlight, the peony sisters were riding horses in front, and behind them was a large herd of cattle and sheep. Tian Xiao nodded and smiled: "That's enough." That's enough. Good sister, all the people in Longqing have arrived, and they are talking about you two in the backyard, your father and your mother want to kill you both. And your brother is also here, go back quickly. The Peony sisters were overjoyed, and rode away. Tianxiao said to the apprentices again: "This time it is really hard for you. But now, there is no place for people to stand in the house, where are these cattle and sheep to go?" Yang Xiong thought about it, so he asked, "Master, what should I do, I rushed back." Tianxiao pretended to scratch his head and said, "Otherwise, you will drive four hundred cattle and six hundred sheep back to your home." The cattle were handed over to the left courtyard and the sheep were given to the middle courtyard, and they were all killed overnight and entered the well. Also, the Seven Heroes and the Three Heroes have arrived, just waiting for you to reunite. The old monster of Changbai Mountain was happy, and with a wave of his hand to his junior brothers and sisters, he pulled three hundred and twenty cows and drove five hundred sheep away.
When the old monsters of Changbai Mountain drove the cattle and sheep away, Qingyun flashed out of the crowd of diners, happily hugged Tianxiao and said, "Good Xianggong, you are really capable, now my family is not afraid." As soon as he beckoned, the Li family arrived, and happily drove away the cattle and sheep. Li Song patted Tianxiao's shoulder and said, "Good son-in-law, this is really a charcoal in the snow, I'm not afraid that there will be no meat on the table now." Tianxiao smiled and said, "Now I'm also relieved." Dad, let's go. He put his left hand around Qingyun and his right hand to hold Lang Na Gege, and just walked forty or fifty steps, Mei Ying suddenly flashed out of the shadows, and said with a grin: "Good master, I have seen everything, how do you say to gag my mouth." Qingyun patted Mei Ying on the head, bluffed his face and said, "You have really grown up, and you dare to hit your master's ambush." Mei Ying hugged Qingyun's neck and said, "Good master, I'm playing with you, I won't dare to betray my master and sister." Qingyun pinched Meiying's nose and said: "My family suffered a great disaster, so that the government knocked out eight million taels of silver, and the family was ruined." Your master wants to help my family get out of trouble, so he has made these famous halls. He pointed to the tables on both sides of the road and said, "Look, there is no meat on the table, so what is the business going on?" That's why I thought of your cattle and sheep. Mei Ying nodded and asked: "Ninth Senior Lady, then you sue me, which official is the official who defrauded your family of eight million taels of silver, I will let my senior brother and sister steal the poor Wang Balamb, and relieve your Li family's anger." Knowing that Mei Ying had this ability, Qingyun nodded and said, "It's Hangzhou City." Except for Lord Yang Baoyang, the others are all dog officials and corrupt officials, and they have made my whole family of forty-seven people almost go to the sea. ”
Back in the house, Tianxiao said, "You guys go back first, I'll go around the courtyards." Lang Na Gege said, "Then I'll accompany you." Then he took Tianxiao by the arm, put his face on his shoulder, and strolled through the cypress forest to the right courtyard. The stable was already crowded with horses, but Ah Lian's family was still busy in the night, so Tian Xiao said to Ah Lian, "Are you busy? Why don't I ask Steward Shi to send you a few more people to help." Ah Lian thumped her waist with both hands and greeted first: "Lady Twelve." Then he shook his head and said, "Young Master." We don't need to call anyone, we can do it. Tianxiao smiled. "It's good to be busy for a while. Later, when you go to the middle courtyard, you sue the cook, and say that I said that you said, let your family take four sheep's heads, a back leg of lamb, three catties of beef, and three urns of wine. Ah Lian was happy to hear this, and hurriedly said to the girl who was feeding the bean cakes in the stable: "You and Gangzi will go together, and the young master will reward my family with four sheep's heads." A leg of lamb. Three catties of beef, three urns of wine. Ajuan excitedly "hey", Tianxiao asked some more questions, and then went out of the right courtyard to the left courtyard, and saw five or six hundred people holding sharp knives happily slaughtering cattle under the moonlight. Peel and disembowel. Intestinal triage. It's very lively. Thinking of their hard work in the past few days, Tian Xiao clapped his hands and smiled: "Everyone has worked hard." Don't forget it when you're done slaughtering the cow. Leave fifty ox heads and three ox legs, and then go to the steward Shi to get fifty sheep's heads and fifty urns of wine, and you will have a lively time first, but you are not allowed to get drunk, so as not to let people touch the house and not know. Everyone laughed.
Out of the left courtyard to the middle courtyard, who was supervising more than 300 people to kill sheep, Shi Zheng, saw that the young master and the twelfth lady were coming, so he hurriedly got up and asked the young master to sit down, and moved a chair to invite Lang Na Gege to sit, and then said: "Young master, eighteen boats of Touli incense, seven boats of daughter red, eight boats of rice and soju, the small ones have all been put into storage." Ten truckloads of grain, eight ships of horse feed, ninety pigs, and seven ships of vegetables were unloading at the docks. It's just that the 8,000 chickens, 6,000 ducks, 2,000 geese, and 3,000 catties of fish ordered from Shopkeeper Li can only be delivered in the early morning. Tianxiao nodded and said, "Then let Steward Jiang wait on the dock." By the way, when will those birds and beasts arrive?" Shi Zheng said: "Young Master, it has arrived at 1,800 pieces just now. Among them were forty-three wild boars and fourteen black bears. The king's shopkeeper said that there are still 2,200 pieces to be delivered by tomorrow evening at the latest, and the wedding banquet will not be delayed. Tian Xiao looked a little displeased, shook his head and sighed, Shi Zheng hurriedly said: "That's the case, young master, the shopkeeper Wang said, the tiger and leopard have already been hunted, but a few days ago, sixty or seventy wolves were suddenly discovered, and those hunters wanted to make more money, which delayed the delivery time." Tian Xiao nodded and said, "Presumably, those hunters are also very hard, and when they receive the goods, they will give the hunters an extra fifty taels of silver, even if it is a reward for their red silver." Then he pointed to the subordinate who had slain the sheep, and said, "Give them sixty heads of sheep, twenty heads of oxen, and twenty urns of wine." After a while, you have five wild boars, three black bears, and fifty birds and beasts sent to the backyard and handed over to the princess. Also, tomorrow morning, set up a sedan chair, bring the ring, bring your wife and children, and live for ten days and a half months, which can be regarded as a reunion. After that, he got up a few steps, took two fat sheep that had just been killed and had not been washed in one hand, and Lang Na Gege left the middle courtyard and returned to the backyard.
Although it was the second half of the night, there were still more than fifty tables of wine in the open space in the backyard, many people were still laughing, eating and drinking, and the girls were busy pouring wine. "Susu, you go eat first, I'll come right away. Tianxiao said, carried the sheep to the kennel, threw a sheep on the ground, released the eagle and the Tibetan dog to eat, and then threw a sheep into the iron cage of the tiger, leopard and lion, and entered the stable to see that Mo Ye and his sister Mo Chou had changed their new clothes and were feeding BMWs, camels, and elephants. He quit the stable and came to the banquet, and greeted everyone: "Eat as you like, there are no outsiders in the backyard." But they all have some stomachs, and soon there will be five wild boars, three black bears, and fifty birds and beasts to be delivered. Then he waved his hand and said to the maids, "You are all not tired of standing." You don't have to wait in the middle of the night, you can go to sleep if you're tired, sit down to eat and drink if you're hungry, and you'll be busy tomorrow. He sat down beside Yangxiong. Thousands of miles without a trace hurriedly poured a bowl of wine for the master, and the iron-faced judge handed over the chopsticks, pointed to the old monster of Changbai Mountain and said, "Master, this kid ran away when he saw me in the past." But today, he was so powerful that he dared to make a move against me, and I beat him for a hundred or ten rounds. Tian Xiao said with a smile: "Many of the guests asked me why I didn't accept some heroes from the rivers and lakes, how to accept some notorious gentlemen from Liang, and evil demons full of evil. As I said, I don't get along with the so-called righteous people, but I still like you people, at least I won't cheat. The bat sitting at the next table listened and said, "Master's words are reasonable. It's not that I want to hurt others, those so-called righteous people are much worse than us, and they still don't admit to doing those things. As soon as these words came out, they immediately attracted the dissatisfaction of many apprentices with the righteous people. These words made Zhong Lei laugh immediately when he heard it: "You turtle grandsons, don't listen to the bullshit of those righteous people, in fact, they are not good people, male thieves and prostitutes." Hey, you have to fight for your master, just like the red-tailed snake, who destroyed the Western Devil, good. The scorpion walked behind the master with the wine and said, "Master, we master and apprentice want to stay here for a few more days and learn some kung fu, so as not to lose the master's face outside." Tianxiao nodded and smiled: "Okay." You Sanjie and Qihao will stay with me for a few more months, and I will teach you the Whirlwind Invisible Step and the Flame Palm. Hearing this, he got up and asked everyone. "Do you want to see my master perform a few tricks of flame palm?" Everyone shouted "good", many people applauded, and Zhu Xiao also shouted: "Brother, others say that your kung fu is amazing, but I have never seen it, you have to play a few more hands today."
