Jiyin County.

In Erxian Village, Shan Xiongxin was inspecting a few horse lances that had just been made by the master in the village.

These horse lances are made of jujube wood in the jujube forest outside the single village, and the single jujube lance actually has a history of several generations and is very famous in Qidi. In the past, the single family often used jujube wood to make lance, and then sold it to those wealthy martial artists.

Although the jujube wood mallet does not need to go through three years like the composite mallet, each jujube mallet also needs to go through thousands of selections, and then carefully modified, and processed in various complex processes.

The jujube lance of the single Erxian Village, each of which is worth dozens of pieces, so Shan Xiongxin attaches great importance to the quality of this lance, and every rod must be checked personally.

He had seen them one by one, and had picked them all up and tried them all.

In the end, Shan Xiongxin only left three.

"These four are flawed and broken."

"Erlang, these four are just a little flawed, it's a pity to fold." The housekeeper couldn't help but say, a lance is worth at least dozens of times, and this fold can be a lot of losses.

"You can't smash your own signboard." Shan Xiongxin insisted.

The old housekeeper had to nod helplessly, it is not easy to make a single lance, dozens of processes before and after, each process is strictly controlled, and a little problem will be destroyed, so a good lance, in fact, at least ten or twenty pieces of material are wasted.

"The son of Niu County, Qingzhang, Hebei Province ordered one, the son of Su Xiaowei of Xindu County also ordered one, and Liu Zhuang of Pingyuan County also ordered one, and several others ordered the goods, and now there are only three lances, how to deliver them?" The housekeeper asked.

"Then send it to Niu Xiu in Qingzhang, Su Lie in Xindu, and Liu Badao in the Plains first, as for the others, we can only wait for the next batch."

Shan Xiong said.

"Okay." The housekeeper responded, "Erlang, the latest issue of the reference news newspaper has just been delivered, there is more content in this issue, and our little lady also wrote a story on it, which is about our jujube nail lance." ”

"Oh?"

Shan Xiongxin frowned, "This girl." ”

The old housekeeper couldn't help but say, "Erlang, Da Lang has been doing things over there in Guanzhong, and Erlang is in charge of everything in this house, the little lady has been out for almost three months now, doesn't Erlang pick it up?" ”

"What to do with her, doesn't she like to run outside, then I'll let her stay outside enough."

"Erlang, this is not good, the little lady is not young anymore, she is alone, she has been away for a long time, and her reputation is not good."

Shan Xiongxin put down the lance in his hand and sighed.

"Uncle Xu, you have been in our family for so many years, and several of our brothers and sisters have grown up under your watch. You also know that our single family used to be a family of eunuchs, but since the fall of the Northern Qi Dynasty, our single family has no one to come out, although the family has a grange and an industry, and life is not worried, but you also know that the status is not as good as before. ”

"The Zheng family and the Cui family in Xingyang, both sides covet our single family's property, saying that they fancy the little sister Wen Wan and virtuous and want to marry her, but who doesn't know what they think? Zheng Cui's two families are both famous families, although the one who wants to marry the little sister is only a side branch of the clan, but if the character is feasible, I have no objection. ”

"But Cui Wu Zheng Qi, no matter which one of them, is just an incompetent fool under the shadow of the shelter door, this kind of person can't even be a dog guarding the house, but a puppet thrown out by his family to marry, and the purpose is only our single family's inheritance. You say, "Can I promise them?" ”

Uncle Xu sighed, "But we can't afford to offend the Cui Zheng family." ”

"I can't afford to offend them, but I won't just push my sister into the fire pit. Therefore, my little sister ran away from home, so I deliberately pretended not to find out, she went out to look for Luo Cheng and didn't come back, and I didn't pick it up. Why? Instead of marrying my little sister into the Cui family or the Zheng family and marrying that straw bag, I might as well let my little sister mess around outside, even if her reputation is bad? It's a big deal that I will raise her for the rest of my life in the future, and it will be better than marrying like that. ”

Xu Bo smiled bitterly, and understood Shan Xiongxin's good intentions.

"The little lady has been staying with Luo Cheng for a few months, do you really like her?"

"I don't know." Shan Xiong said.

"If there is really anything, it is a good thing that Luo Cheng is willing to be responsible. I'm afraid that if the Cui Zheng family refuses to give up, both of them want to marry our little lady, but the little lady didn't choose anyone, but instead chose Luo Cheng from Qi County, I'm afraid they will be angry. Xu Bo reminded.

Shan Xiongxin was angry, he was tall, with thick beard, and he was nicknamed Red-haired Lingguan, because his beard was a little red, which was actually the result of the mixed Chinese and Hu in the early years of the Shan family. After the Wei and Jin dynasties, the Wuhu invaded Chaohua, and the north suffered a huge poison.

Although after three hundred years of turmoil, the Central Plains is still unified, and after Emperor Wen of Sui Yang Jian succeeded to the throne, he also began to vigorously restore the etiquette of the Han and Wei dynasties and respect the Han culture, but Hu Feng has also had a deep influence in the north, especially in the Kanto region, not only deeply affected by Hu Feng, but even many people are of mixed Hu and Han blood.

For example, Shan Xiongxin, with a red beard and red hair, was once Hu in his ancestors. There are many Han people like the Shan family, especially in Qidi, that is, the Kanto region, where Hu Feng was particularly serious. Not only were many Han people Sinicized, but even many Hu people were also Sinicized, so it was difficult to distinguish between Hu and Han.

In fact, many nobles in Guanzhong have also been Hu before, such as Yang Jian's family, such as Li Yuan's family, etc., in the early years, they were all given Xianbei sex and changed their name to Xianbei, such as Yang Zhong's family was given Pu Liuru sex, and Yang Jian was called Pu Liuru Jian in his early years. The Li Yuan family has given Daye's sex, and Li Yuan can be called Dayeyuan.

They were not only given surnames, but also married with Xianbei people, of course, if they only married Xianbei women, it was not Huhua, because according to the Han tradition, the Han people are patrilineal, so marrying Xianbei women is not Huhua. However, mixed race is real, and in the early years when the Xianbei people were in power, the Han family was Huhua, such as using Xianbei surnames and so on, these are really Huhua.

Fortunately, Yang Jian later restored the Han etiquette system, but re-sinicized the world. However, in the Kanto region, Huhua is much more serious than Kannai, in fact, the surname of the Shan Xiongxin family can see some problems, and the Shan family in Kanto is actually a lot of the original Xianbei Adan, thirsty Shan later changed.

Shan Xiongxin, who has Hu blood, is very angry, and it is terrifying.

"Although my single family is not as good as before, if others really want to bully us, we will never let others knead it. I have a single family with thousands of wealth, thousands of acres of fertile land, hundreds of servants, and thousands of stones, if you really dare to provoke me, I will die with them, and when the time comes, I will see if they are willing to burn this jade! ”

"Erlang, don't be angry, things are far from that! Or, just give the little lady to Luo Cheng, Luo Cheng is the protégé of Zhang Xutuo of Qi County, maybe the Zheng Cui family will also give him some face, and this matter will be over? Xu Bodao.

Shan Xiongxin shook his head, "Let's take a look at this matter first, the twisted melon is not sweet." ”
