Chapter 011: The wrong mandarin duck
In the next few days, Xiao Tang arranged Xue Yong to go to the ear room where Xiao Yi and other family members lived, entertained him with a few good wines and meat, and took Xue Yong to introduce him to Xiao's father. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
When Xiao Tang took Xue Yong to count the guns and sticks in the market town, Xue Yong grabbed a spear, tossed it in his hand, shook his head and said: "Young master, with such a thick wooden artemisia shaft as the body of the gun, it is easy to break and easy to get rid of. If you rush into battle to kill the enemy, I'm afraid that you will lose the guy in two or three rounds. The weapons used by the brave soldiers in Baojia Township are naturally not as important as the officers and soldiers, but if something happens, such a guy will not take advantage of it. ”
Although Xiao Tang likes to read novels and historical books, he only vaguely remembers some methods of manufacturing and maintaining ancient knives and guns.
Xiao Tang asked Xue Yong, "Then according to the master's opinion, what should be done with these spears?" ”
"The young master treats me very kindly, so I won't hide it. According to my father and grandfather, in order to strengthen the toughness of the barrel of the spear, the soldiers in the army had to wrap the barrel of the spear with ribbon in sections, wrap the whole rod with kudzu cloth and paint it, and wrap it with thin rattan and wrap it in several layers of bamboo. In addition, there is a corner fence defense in our market town......"
Xue Yong poured beans into a bamboo tube and brought Xiao Tang all the knowledge he knew about the practice of village bravery, the placement of weapons, and the construction of defenses. Although he is in the rivers and lakes, after all, he is from a military family, and he is familiar with these things.
Xiao Tang originally accepted Xue Yong's gun skills and his good impression of Liangshan's heroes. And Xue Yong's understanding of these military affairs can be said to be an unexpected joy, but although Xue Yong is down, his grandfather's generation is a military general who serves the country under the old Zhong Jingluo public account, which is also a kind of spiritual comfort in his exile life, so he is particularly careful about the memory that his grandfather taught him, but he didn't expect it to come in handy in this Xiao family set.
In terms of martial arts, Xue Yong dedicated himself to teaching Xiao Tang and Xiao Yi kung fu every day, and Xiao Tang realized that in fact, Xiao Yi's introverted kung fu foundation was even better than him. Although Xue Yong's kung fu is by no means a master in the Water Margin, after all, his methods are more than a step higher than the current Xiao Tang, so Xiao Tang did not slack off in the slightest, and a set of Taizu long fist and the spear skills used by the foot soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty Western Army have also become more and more proficient.
Not only that, Xiao Tang also entrusted the master in the collection to deliberately create a well-known weapon in later generations - nunchucks, in fact, the predecessor of the nunchucks was created by Zhao Kuangyin, Taizu of the Song Dynasty, divided into large and small dragon sticks, also known as large and small brooms, and later nunchucks are different from the small broom, one end of the small broom is long and the other end is short, and there are many rich children who are good at guns and sticks at this time to play with it.
Because in the Song Dynasty, although the people could legally own ordinary weapons such as bows, arrows, knives, stalks, and short spears, the laws and regulations also strictly prohibited private preservation, manufacture, carrying, and trading of "forbidden weapons" such as crossbows, spears, and flags.
After all, in the case of prohibition by law, carrying a prohibited blade to swagger through the market will definitely be taken down by arrest, and even if you use a knife (even if it is a knife such as a dismantling knife or a wrist knife) to quarrel with someone, the punishment for fighting and killing in the Great Song Dynasty Criminal Law will also be increased by one degree for the crime of assaulting people with weapons. Although the use of a knife to kill a person because of a fight, it is the same as killing for a reason), and the use of weapons such as a small broom can not only defend oneself, but also greatly reduce the possibility of wrongful murder in anger.
Another reason is that although ordinary people in later generations did not have the opportunity to practice any knives, guns and sticks, it was also very convenient to buy a nunchuck at home to exercise their bodies. It just so happened that Xiao Tang was in college at that time because he watched all Bruce Lee's kung fu movies, and he bought a pair of nunchucks to check information and watch videos for practice, but he has always persevered.
Although he didn't have any experience in actual combat with people, Xiao Tang still remembered and was familiar with several routines of nunchucks, and if he used nunchucks with people, Xiao Tang was confident that his means of using fists and kicks and guns were higher.
In addition, Xiao Tang and Kong Songzhuang Pan family these days are very close, the Pan family's main source of income is to cultivate the land and sell grain, in the Song Dynasty to resist Liaoxia, in the HB Hedong, SX three-way area stationed heavy troops accounted for forty percent of the national army, so the supply of three-way military grain and grass is also extremely important, and the channel of grain purchase is local taxes and purchases, of which by the purchase.
Although Xiao Jiaji did not have many grain fields, because of the traffic arteries that occupied the Daimyo's Mansion and connected to the northern Rongchang, the business of the car dealers was very prosperous, and the Pan family had grain and grass transportation in the future, and Xiao Tang was the master to finalize the freight rate of each car and send the township Yong to escort it.
Xiao Tang showed favor to the Pan family like this, although it was because Pan Taigong was a kind and enlightened elder, but his main purpose was to make friends with Wu Song, after all, it was a shocking hero in the Water Margin, and it was really Xiao Tang's childhood idol, if he could take this as an opportunity to get closer to Wu Song, who was helping in Panjiazhuang, and pull Wu Song, a good man, to be a good friend, Xiao Tang felt extremely beautiful just thinking about it.
But Xiao Tang's first impression of Wu Song was not very good, with Wu Song's straightforward temperament, he naturally wouldn't give Xiao Tang any good face every time they met, just like a little fan chasing stars and meeting an extremely cold idol, after eating a few times, Xiao Tang's mind faded a lot.
However, Xiao Tang's actions fell into the eyes of Pan Taigong, but it made Pan Taigong have a different idea in his heart......
"Jin Lian has also reached the age of marriage..."On Pan's house, Mrs. Pan said lightly after dinner, Mrs. Pan listened to it, and her heart fluctuated, she and Mrs. Pan only had one daughter under their knees, and the two-room concubine that Mrs. Pan had married died early, so Mrs. Pan looked forward to her daughter marrying a good husband day and night, and she could also have half of her son to spoil.
Mrs. Pan hurriedly said with interest: "You finally figured it out? Alas, Jin Lian and Da Lang's child can be regarded as two little guesses, if she and Da Lang are together, I can also put my mind at ease. ”
Who knew that Taigong Pan shook his head and said, "The person I plan to give to Jin Lianxu is not Da Lang, but Xiao Tang of Xiao Jiaji." ”
Mrs. Pan was stunned for a while, and hurriedly said, "Old man! It's not that you don't know Jin Lian's heart for Da Lang, and although Da Lang is only a long-term worker in our family, he may not be able to get a reputation for his hard work! Da Lang is a person we know well, how can you send your daughter out like this? ”
Pan Taigong snorted heavily and said, "What do you know about a woman!?" The people who take the scientific examination are like the carp that crosses the river, how many people can carp and jump over the dragon gate? Even if Da Lang is lucky to be on the list, the ups and downs of the Huan Hai are deceitful, I have been framed several times and returned to seclusion early, and I have no connection with my Pan family clan, Da Lang's simple and down-to-earth temperament, he really entered the officialdom is a blessing? Is it woe?
That Xiao Tang is Xiao He's only seedling, the young master of the Xiao family, is facing the Golden Lotus Gate, if my Pan family and his Xiao family form a good alliance between Qin and Jin, with the wealth of the two families is enough to make Jin Lian live happily in the future, then Xiao Tang's personality is also very much in line with my heart, you and I are half cut into the earth, and I can rest assured that I can close my eyes when I entrust Jin Lian to that Xiao Tang. ”
Mrs. Pan couldn't say anything about Mrs. Pan, but she still sighed: "But you don't know that Jin Lian has affection for Da Lang, and it is a beautiful thing for everyone to be happy when they walk together, so why do you bother ....... it?"
"Humph!" Pan Taigong heard Mrs. Pan mention her daughter's affection for the chief worker of the house, and her heart couldn't help but be slightly angry, in fact, Pan Taigong has been quite enlightened about the matter of Jin Lian and Da Lang, if it is an ordinary foreign master's family, if the daughter of the house has an eyebrow with the servant and the long worker, although the criminal law of the Song Dynasty is not like the Yuan and Ming Dynasty legal codes, the rape was caught and killed on the spot and was found not guilty, but in the countryside to find a reason to use the clan family law to expel at the least, and to kill the official government is generally blind and blind.
And Wu Zhi has a simple and diligent personality, which is deeply loved by Pan Taigong, and secondly, he and Pan Jinlian are indeed in love for a long time, and Pan Taigong also believes that the two will never exceed the etiquette, so although he did not criticize Wu Zhi for this.
But his baby daughter has a strong relationship with the long-term workers who do hard work in the house, and Mrs. Pan, who is a father, inevitably has a pimple in his heart, plus he hinted at Wu Zhi through Mrs. Pan, and according to Wu Zhi's temperament, he refused to join his Pan family as an inverted son-in-law.
Seeing that his daughter was of the age of marriage, whether Mrs. Pan had a suitable candidate for marriage, he originally wanted to hide the thoughts in his heart, and Wu Zhi was very loyal, so he had to marry his daughter cheaply, and the long-term workers of the house climbed the branches to be the future heir of the Pan family.
But at this moment, Xiao Tang suddenly walked into his vision, Pan Taigong originally thought that the only son of the Xiao family in the neighboring county had a bad character, but later through actual contact, it was not the case, that Xiao Tang was cautious in his words and deeds, and took care of his Pan family in the business of transporting grain.
Later, Pan Taigong heard that Xiao Tang had accidentally seen his own pearl golden lotus, so he made a mistake, and said in his heart that you beat the people in my house, and after coming to apologize, the matter will pass, so why bother to take care of the money and grain business more times? Could it be that Xiao Tang saw Jin Lian and fell in love?
The conscience of heaven and earth, Xiao Tang has made many moves in order to have the opportunity to befriend Wu Song, but Pan Taigong would not have thought that what made the eldest young master of Xiao Jiaji break his heart was the five big and three rough and brave and ruthless younger brothers of the Changgong Wuzhi family, not his own good-looking and budding daughter.
It's like the knot that many fathers in later generations have: how they don't like the boyfriend they find for their baby daughter, even if I can help you with other things, but if my baby daughter marries you, I can't feel comfortable in my heart. And when they finally mess up them, and then introduce their daughters to other marriage partners, in fact, there are often many daughters who are not as suitable for themselves as before.
Moreover, now Xiao Tang is the young master of the market town, and his temperament has entered the eyes of Pan Taigong, and Wu Zhi is just a long-term worker in his house at the moment, whether he can be on the list and become an official in the future is two words, Pan Taigong appreciates Wu Zhi's temperament, but this does not mean that he is now willing to let Wu Zhi marry his daughter and inherit his own property.
Thinking of this, Pan Taigong scolded: "No need to say it again, I have made up my mind!" Da Lang is a sensible person, I will talk to him over there, don't think anything about Jin Lian! On the Xiao family's side, I will invite someone to talk to the matchmaker at some time, and this matter is decided! ”
