Li Yanqing's eyes gradually lit up, he seemed to think of something, and hurriedly wiped it on the spine of the sword with his sleeve, and sure enough, a thin line of inscriptions was revealed, swordsman battalion military.

Li Yanqing was suddenly a little excited in his heart, this sword turned out to be the famous thick-ridged short-bodied sword of the Great Song Dynasty, the special battle sword of the Song Army's swordsman battalion.

The Han and Tang dynasties were the world of swords, but in the Song Dynasty, the sword was revived again, on the one hand, the Song army lacked horses, and there was little demand for knives suitable for chopping.

But more importantly, the Song Dynasty entered the era of heavy armor, and after the Khitans got Youzhou, they learned the clever iron-smelting technology, and at the same time, the production of pig iron soared, and the armor they created was no different from the Song army.

In addition, they are almost all cavalry, and they basically cut the armor of the enemy with their swords, and only by stabbing with a sword can they penetrate the gaps in the armor and stab or stab the enemy to death, which is the main reason why the Song Dynasty began to use a large number of guns and swords.

The thick-ridged short-bodied sword is the most famous sword of the Song Dynasty, after the fall of the Southern Song Dynasty, it was almost destroyed by the Mongol army, and later generations can no longer see it, Li Yanqing once saw its graphics in a Song painting, which can be stabbed, can also be chopped, and even can be used as a striking weapon like a whip, which is very practical.

This kind of swordsman's special sword can't be bought at all in the sword shop in the county, but he didn't expect to see it in a farmer's house.

He swung the sword a few times, and it felt very good, only a little heavier, but it was acceptable, and he immediately liked this sword, which could be used to practice the swordsmanship cheats that Uncle Hu gave him.

"That's my grandfather's sword, how can you take someone else's stuff casually."

As soon as Li Yanqing turned around, the two little ladies who called him Uncle Qing just now ran back at some point.

Li Yanqing put the sword back in its place, although the master used it to pad the feet of the cabinet and didn't cherish it very much, but after all, it was not his thing, and he didn't want to drop the price in front of the two juniors.

"Sister, if Uncle Qing likes that sword, give it to him!" Xi'er tugged at her sister's sleeve next to her.

"His surname is Li, our surname is Zhang, what kind of uncle is he?" The eldest sister glared at her sister very unhappily,

Xi'er lowered her head and didn't dare to speak, the eldest sister stepped forward and looked Li Yanqing up and down, "I think you are familiar, I remembered it just now, I played with you before, but you weren't like this before, you are from Li Wencun, and there is a big black dog at home, right!" ”

Li Wencun is only two or three miles away from here at most, it is normal for this little lady to see herself, but he used to be a little mud monkey and was very stupid, but now he is a handsome little gentleman, no wonder this little lady didn't recognize herself at first.

Li Yanqing said with a smile: "Your mother is the same as me, she also calls me a brother, you don't call me Uncle Qing, what's your name?" ”

"My father's surname is Zhang, and it has nothing to do with your Li family, what my mother calls you has nothing to do with me."

Li Yanqing listened to her nonsense, and he didn't like it very much, so he asked casually: "Since your surname is Zhang, what is your name?" ”

"My sister's name is Zhang Dayan!"

The younger sister in the back answered for her sister, and Dayan turned her head and glared at her sister, "What are you talking about?" ”

Li Yanqing liked this well-behaved sister, so he lowered his head and said with a smile: "I know, your name is Zhang Xiaoyan, right?" ”

"It's not! My name is Magpie, Uncle Qing calls me Magpie, Xi'er can be. ”

"Little fool, you told people everything!" Dayan glared at her sister again.

The little sister stuck out her tongue and lowered her head again.

Dayan glanced at Li Yanqing with a smile again, and approached him little by little, "Little brother, don't move!" Sister whispers to you! ”

The wild goose coaxed Li Yanqing in his mouth, and suddenly stretched out his hand and pulled Li Yanqing's ear, Li Yanqing had already seen that her motives were not pure, and before she could catch it, he turned sideways and dodged away.

Dayan was empty, so hated that she stomped her feet, pounced on Li Yanqing like a cat, and scolded in her mouth: "You dead monkey, you actually let me call you uncle, see how I clean you up!" ”

"Sister, don't fight, uncle is going to be angry." The younger sister magpie was so anxious that she jumped to her feet.

Li Yanqing's figure was extremely fast, he quickly dodged, turned to the door, he took out ten cents again, gently swiped it in his hand, and said with a smile: "It's not for you to scream in vain, call me Uncle Qing well, and give you these ten cents." ”

Dayan saw ten yuan, her eyes lit up, and the anger in her heart suddenly disappeared without a trace, just now Li Yanqing gave her twenty yuan, she can buy a copper hairpin, it is the first time she has so much money,

Her family is relatively poor, and her parents are eager to break a penny in half, even if they give some good things to their younger brother, but it is not their sisters' turn, and this new dress is still bought for them by her uncle.

The New Year's money is only a penny or two, and occasionally the uncle in the capital will get a little more, and she has never had so much money at once like today.

She stared at the ten cents in Li Yanqing's hand, but she was thinking about how to get this stupid boy's ten cents, and with these ten cents, she could buy a silk flower again.

She coaxed Li Yanqing with a smile on her face: "Good brother, if you give the money to your sister, your sister won't be angry, and accompany you to dig out the birds' eggs!" ”

"No! The rules of respecting elders are here, your mother calls me brother, you have to call me Uncle Qing. ”

Dayan hesitated, and Li Yanqing saw that she was about to surrender, so he smiled and said, "Since you don't want to call, then forget it, I won't force you." ”

As he spoke, he was about to put the money back in his pocket, and Dayan was in a hurry, and finally shouted, "Qing... Uncle! ”

"That's right! Respecting the elders is beneficial, so why not? ”

Dayan grabbed ten cents, for fear that Li Yanqing would regret it, and he didn't care about scolding two sentences and ran away, and the magpie also wanted to run with his sister, Li Yanqing grabbed her and said with a smile: "Wait a minute, I'll give you ten cents too." ”

The magpie waved his hand again and again, "I don't want it, it's right to call my uncle, how can I ask for money?" ”

Li Yanqing saw that she was well-behaved and sensible, and he liked it in his heart, so he forced ten cents into her little hand, "I'll buy you candy to eat!" ”

"Thank you, Uncle Qing!"

The magpie smiled, took the money and went out to chase his sister.

Li Yanqing saw that their sisters had run away, so he calmed down and began to catch up with his homework.

......

In the evening of the afternoon, Li Dongdong came to invite Li Yanqing to dinner, and at this time, Li Yanqing had already finished his homework and was playing with the short sword.

"If Brother Qing likes this sword, I'll give it to you!" Li Dongdong walked into the house and smiled.

"That's embarrassing!"

"This is my uncle's sword, he treats it as a treasure, after he died, no one wants this sword, my father likes to collect old things, so he picks it up, I'm afraid you will dislike it, if you don't dislike it, I'll give it to you."

"Then you're welcome!"

Li Yanqing's heart was overjoyed, this trip was not in vain, and he actually got a good sword.

At this time, Li Dongdong pulled Li Yanqing and said with a smile: "The table will be opened soon, just waiting for you, let's go!" ”

Li Yanqing put the sword into his bookbag and followed Li Dongdong to the front lobby, he asked with a smile, "Is the patriarch here?" ”

"It's been here a long time ago, the contract has been signed, and your father asked us not to disturb you, so I didn't call you."

Li Yanqing is not worried, he went to Lushan Town again yesterday and read the draft contract, the patriarch thought it very carefully, more carefully than he thought, the contract has been finalized, and today he just came to sign and draw the pledge.

Li Yanqing came to the lobby, the lobby was very lively, twenty or thirty people gathered together, Li Dongdong set up three tables of banquets, a table of chairmen in the lobby, and two tables of accompanying seats in the courtyard.

Today's guests are mainly from Qianshan Village, except for a few clansmen he has seen when he worships his ancestors, and he has a little impression, and he doesn't know anyone else.

Li Dongdong pulled Li Yanqing to introduce to the neighbors, and when the neighbors heard that the young man in front of them was Li Yanqing, who won the championship in the Boys' Club, they couldn't help but be in awe, and they got up and saluted.

Li Yanqing smiled and returned the salute to everyone, Li Dongdong pulled him into the main hall, Li Wenyou, who was sitting on the main seat, saw Li Yanqing, and hurriedly beckoned: "Qing'er, come here and sit!" ”

The guests in the main hall complimented Li Wenyou one after another, praising the Li family for another jinshi in the future, which made Li Wenyou's heart bloom and smile.

Li Yanqing and everyone saluted, but they didn't see their father, so they asked Li Wenyou, "Patriarch, where is my father?" ”

Li Wenyou smiled, "He is in a hurry to go back in advance." ”

Li Yanqing was stunned, his father went back, why didn't he say to himself, "Patriarch, what's the urgent matter at home?" ”

"Today, the county school is accompanied by a person from the state, saying that he came to visit your father's reputation, which may be related to an old incident in the past, and your father was in a hurry, so he went back first."
