Chapter 164: Bride Price
At this time, Xu Zizhen had already returned to his residence, and just as he was about to sit down, he saw Kou Qiaoyi who was still smiling behind him, and glared at her angrily: "Still laughing?" If you laugh again, I'll really send you out of the country! ”
Kou Qiaoyi couldn't help but burst out laughing, and then deliberately straightened his face: "Yes, Qiaoyi doesn't laugh!" ”
"You!" Xu Zizhen really couldn't do anything about her, and shook his head, "Do you like to laugh or not, you don't have anything to do to help me buy a bride price tomorrow, the Shenji Camp has just opened, and I really can't run away." ”
Kou Qiaoyi nodded: "Don't worry, Childe, this matter is handled by Qiaoyi." After speaking, he glanced at Xu Zizhen, and looked a little speechless.
Xu Zizhen poured a glass of water and drank it in one gulp, and said with a smile: "Why do you look like this?" Are you afraid I'll give you away? ”
Kou Qiaoyi shook his head and said, "Qiaoyi knows that the Daoist son will not send me away, but he will ...... Qiaoyi always felt that Lord Wen's move today was a little weird. ”
"Oh? What's the weird way? Xu Zizhen was stunned for a moment, put down the teacup in his hand, beckoned and said, "Sit down and talk, don't be so restrained, just treat it as if we are two people talking." ”
Kou Qiaoyi's face turned red, sat down obediently, and said softly: "Childe, have you ever found that today's incident seems to be deliberately done by Lord Wen?" ”
Xu Zizhen scratched his head: "You said that this matter is the way that Lord Wen put on me?" This can't be done, right? No matter how I look at it, it looks like the old money kid is playing tricks on me. ”
Kou Qiaoyi said: "Lord Wen has always been old-fashioned, if it weren't for his permission, how could Mr. Qian be so presumptuous?" ”
Xu Zizhen was puzzled: "That's impossible, no matter how much Lord Wen likes me, you don't have to be in such a hurry to marry my daughter to me, right?" And it's this kind of trick to fool me. ”
Kou Qiaoyi pondered for a moment and said slowly: "Qiaoyi is just guessing, it's just ...... Qiaoyi felt that Lord Wen was so wooing Gongzi that he seemed to have a plot against Gongzi. ”
Xu Zizhen smiled: "Have a plot against me? I'm a puppet, it's a big deal to help him guard Lanzhou City, what can I do for him? Besides, Lord Wen is not such a person, you think too much. ”
Kou Qiaoyi lowered his head: "Xu is Qiaoyi is too worried, don't be angry." ”
Xu Zizhen waved his hand and was about to speak, but hesitated, his brain was a little confused in that situation just now, but now that he calmed down, he felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't say what was wrong, he also found that Wen Chengyan seemed to be wooing him, but he just had a little effort, how could it be worth him to use his daughter to win him over?
He couldn't think of a reason no matter how he thought about it, and he simply didn't think about it anymore, he knew very well what kind of character Wen Chengyan was, and it was impossible to harm him, besides, even if he was really cheated, a charming Wen Xian was married by himself, and he didn't lose anything.
He had been dreaming this night, dreaming for a while that he was surrounded by the Xia Corps, and all the brothers around him had been killed, and for a while he dreamed that he had repelled the Xia soldiers alone, and returned to the capital to be rewarded by the emperor, and became a great official above 10,000 people under one person.
When he woke up in the morning, Xu Zizhen hadn't recovered from the dream, he sat on the bed in a daze, shook his head vigorously after a while, and muttered: "A very good minister? Pull it down, will you be caught in the Jin Kingdom with the old emperor next year? ”
As soon as Xu Zizhen finished washing, there was a knock on the door, and when he opened the door, he saw that Liu Feng was standing outside the door with a smile, Xu Zizhen found someone to inform him yesterday night, in order to let him accompany Kou Qiaoyi to buy a bride price, otherwise a big girl's family may be easy to be deceived and bullied.
Liu Fengsui didn't know what Lu Dao was looking for him, and when he heard that it was to buy a bride price, he was immediately overjoyed: "Handle the bride price?" All right! The younger brother must accompany the Qiaoyi girl to turn over Lanzhou City, and he has to buy the best gift for the eldest brother! ”
Xu Zizhen smiled and took out a few silver tickets: "Don't save me money, spend hard, and buy a few clothes for Qiaoyi by the way, I really don't have time, I have to train those boys." ”
Liu Feng took the silver ticket without saying a word and went out with Kou Qiaoyi, his face was full of joy, as if he was the one who got married, Xu Zizhen shook his head, no longer cared about it, went out and led the horse straight to the barracks.
Yesterday he left early, and I don't know if Bu Fen can train this group of boys well, Xu Zizhen was a little worried about this, after all, Bu Fen was just a horse thief leader, but when he arrived at the barracks, he was relieved, the five hundred people of the Shenji Battalion were all in the field, neatly lined up, with their heads raised and their chests solemn, just like a regular army for many years.
Xu Zizhen walked closer, swept around the crowd, and praised: "It's a little good, not bad!" ”
Bu Fen smiled: "What, are you afraid that my brother and I won't be able to lead your soldiers?" ”
"Where is it, you are still ahead of me in leading the troops, how dare I look for you, hahaha!" Xu Zizhen smiled, "I'll come next, it's time for us to practice the knife today." ”
Bu Fen was stunned: "So fast? Didn't you say you had to train for a while? ”
Xu Zizhen shook his head, I don't know what to say, the time is too tight, the war may break out again at any time, although these five hundred people have been grouped separately, but the cloaking knife technique must be learned, this is the most critical thing when the battle.
The horse thieves had learned well a few days ago, but it saved Xu Zizhen a lot of things, he asked the horse thieves to teach those recruits one-on-one, and when the teaching started, he began to catch the right practice, and he was pacing around to check around, pointing out from time to time.
Half a day has passed, the sun has gradually turned west, and the five hundred Shenji battalion is practicing hotly, but I saw a person running outside the camp, it was Liu Fengsui, and before he got closer, he shouted with a smile: "Big brother, the bride price has been bought, go back with me?" ”
Bu Fen didn't know about Lu Dao, so he couldn't help but ask if he was curious, and then Da Fen smiled and said: "It's not too early today, let them practice by themselves, let's go back and see the bride price together." ”
Xu Zizhen couldn't cry or laugh: "You are more anxious than me one by one, who is married?" ”
But he said so, or went back to the city with Bu Fen Liufeng, as for the five hundred Shenji camp, let them rest for the time being, it's not a good thing to train too hard, it's only a good thing to have a degree of relaxation, anyway, it will take a while to look at the bride price, and it won't take long to go back and forth.
The three of them came to Xu Zizhen's residence, and as soon as they opened the door, Xu Zizhen was dazzled by the colorful shaking of the table in front of him, and it took a long time to come back to his senses: "Good girl, this is too exaggerated, right?" ”
Liu Feng said triumphantly: "I and the girl in Qiaoyi ran all over Lanzhou City, and we bought the best ones, you see, this is the wedding cake of Qianshengyuan, and this is the gold and silver bowl of Fengxiangji." He opened it all the way and gave Xu Zizhen a look like a treasure.
The last one was a thick long package, and Liu Feng opened it with a smile and said: "This is the satin of Taiji Cloth Village in the south of the city, it is said that it was all shipped from Jiangnan, but it cost me a lot of ......."
As soon as the red paper outside the package was lifted, the fabric inside was revealed, and Liu Fengsui's smile suddenly froze on his face, what kind of satin surface is this, it is clearly an ordinary red cloth that has hidden mildew.
