Chapter 420: Recruiting and Accepting Disciples
Although the Oiran Convention had ended, the gates of the third watch were closed in the middle of the night, and even if they had money, it was difficult to enter the city easily, and most people were reluctant to try the experience of sitting in a hanging basket. Besides, this is not the first time that Lianhu Lake has held this kind of event, and those painting boats parked on the lake were originally prepared for those high-rollers to stay overnight. Especially those who have not yet budded, and who have been robbed of the limelight at the Oiran Conference tonight, have their own bustard mothers to arrange for high-rollers who have long been interested in going to their own painting boats, and exchange their combs for a good price.
As for the painting boat under the Fucui Garden, tonight it was Cheng Biting Jin who was killed by Hengli to occupy the pigeon's nest. Although he was angry with Qiao Cuicui's radical actions at first, he saw that the peaks and loops turned, and in the end, he also got a good story, and he couldn't wait to confess Qiao Cuicui up and down. Therefore, for the request to vacate the painting boat, the bustard's mother immediately complied, and pulled Qiao Cuicui to shed a few tears reluctantly, with a motherly style. It wasn't until all the irrelevant people got off the boat that Wang Fulin smiled and clapped his hands: "That's it, there are many people on the shore, let's drive the boat away and talk!" β
Wang Fulin invited a lot of melon and fruit snacks to eat in the back tonight, and watched the two dart masters who watched the good show and Min Fu Wang Liuyi to help row, and when he saw Niu Si and Qiao Cuicui coming forward to salute, he quickly dodged away, and said with a smile: "It's none of my business, it was Uncle Lu who saved people, and I was generous to others, and the money for the fifty golden flowers was all borrowed from Shao Daxia and Shen Gongzi in empty words!" β
"Yes, yes, Uncle Lu has the most credit, and you are the icing on the cake. I didn't see Shao Fang's face turned blue with anger, Shen Gongzi was still like a wooden man, you good man did it really easily. Xiaobei interjected next to him. There was a smile on his face. "But Fourth Master Niu has a really good eye. Miss Qiao's words tonight are sonorous and powerful! β
Niu Si is a muddy person, and he can only laugh at the moment, but Qiao Cuicui looked at the outline of Xiaobei's facial features, and listened to her tone, and he already vaguely understood. Because she saw that Xiaobei and Wang Fulin both called Lu Guangwu Uncle Lu, she didn't expose it, and after insisting on bowing and saluting, she said: "What's the use of saying sonorous words. I'm just a weak woman, and even if I really die, I'm just a messy poem written by those literati and inkmen, and I just get a reputation. At that time, I was just holding my breath in my heart, and I didn't want to burden the fourth master. β
"Cuicui!"
Seeing that Niu Si seemed to be about to say something, Qiao Cuicui directly stretched out his hand to cover his mouth, and then looked at Lu Guangwu and said: "Lu Gongzi saved my life, Wang Gongzi helped me and the fourth master achieve a good relationship, I and the fourth master are both people who have no parents and relatives, and I don't care if those three media and six etiquettes are even more important." Just ask the two of you to be a witness today. β
Until now, no one asks. What is this so-called witnessing? Although Lu Guangwu felt that it was too hasty, he could see Niu Sixi nodding again and again, he was already informal, and he readily agreed at the moment. As for Wang Fulin, he doesn't care about these red tapes. Next, the marriage ceremonies such as worshipping heaven and earth and joining hands were counted one by one, and even the four people who paddled under their heads, Wang Fulin took turns to pull them up as guests to congratulate him. When the procedure was over and Wang Fulin was about to give up the second floor of the painting boat to Niu Si and Qiao Cuicui, the newly married couple shook their heads.
"We're not those couples who haven't seen each other before we get married, so why are we so anxious? There is a kitchen in this boat, and now that I am married to a cow wife, you are like the elder of your husband, and I should also wash my hands and make soup for you. I think you have something to say, so I'll go down and prepare first. β
Seeing Qiao Cuicui bending her knees and bowing her head, she went downstairs directly, Xiaobei saw that Niu Si wanted to speak and stopped, and felt that his pestle was useless here, so he followed and chased downstairs. At this time, Wang Fulin opened his mouth and called Niu Siye, but Niu Si immediately interrupted: "Wang Gongzi, I didn't know your family background before, and you still call me Niu Siye, isn't that cold me?" Just call me Niu Si like Lu Gongzi."
"It's okay, then I'll take advantage of you and call you Lao Niu directly." Wang Fulin knew that if he called uncle, Niu Si, who was old enough, would never respond, so he simply thought of a compromise solution, but in this way, he couldn't help but think of the Mighty Bull Demon King - in his opinion, this nickname was really called Niu Si.
"What are your plans? With all due respect, you saw this Oiran Conference, you didn't have a weakness in the past, you fed the whole family without hunger, and there were so many mechanic brothers who believed in you, and others couldn't do anything, but once you have a family, there will always be people who use their brains. β
"I know that too." Niu Si's head suddenly drooped, "Today's farce was all caused by me, but it almost caused her to lose her life, and I was useless......"
"Lao Niu, don't say these words, since you know the line of Suzhou and Hangzhou, do you know that now the line of Hangzhou has a new business, that is, the dart game."
"Dart game?" Niu Si's eyes widened in confusion, and after thinking for a while, he said uncertainly, "It seems that I have heard of this name." β
Lu Guangwu saw that Wang Fulin began to patiently explain the origin of the Hangzhou City Dart Bureau to Niu Si, and he knew that he didn't have to do much to do next, so he quietly walked out of the cabin with his back to him.
On the practice lake at night, a cool breeze blew, bringing a bit of dampness and cold, although it had no effect on him, but it seemed to affect his mood a little. Since receiving He Xinyin's message, he took his two companions out of Xinchang and began to wander the world, and found that there are many people who have martial arts but live in embarrassment, and there are even many anti-Japanese veterans!
Hu Zongxian, who was once regarded by the imperial court as a pillar of the southeast, can still cook cunning rabbits and dead lackeys, not to mention those veterans? After the rebellion subsided, Qi Jiguang was reused and went to Jizhen, Yu Dayou was also transferred to the Ping pirates, and fought the Mengwei Silver Leopard of the Huang Dynasty in Guangxi, etc., but many of the troops that had been trained hard were disbanded. What do you say about the disarmed's soldiers and horses in the chaotic township, which can be completely blamed on the main generals, or those soldiers who have few skills? I didn't see how the imperial court settled them!
The more Lu Guangwu thought about it, the more indignant he became, and he couldn't help but slam his fist on the railing. Fortunately, it was stopped in time, and there was no loss this time. But the disappointment in my heart is still there after all.
Loyal ministers, good generals, and meritorious people are not allowed to die well. Some people who only know that the party is in the same league occupy high positions. Could it be that the next generation will always follow the path of repetition on this day?
When he came back to his senses and looked at the cabin again, he saw that Wang Fulin was reaching out to help Niu Si, but Niu Si insisted on kneeling on the ground, so it was clear that he couldn't support it, his heart moved, and he suddenly opened his mouth and said: "Niu Si, don't embarrass Fu Lin, he can have you as a helper." It also has a lot of success in the southeast. Didn't you ask me last time, what is the difference between mere strength and strength, I can tell you now! β
Niu Sideng's eyes widened. He still broke free from Wang Fulin, knelt down and kowtowed, and only after getting up did he say: "This is Xie Wang Gongzi, your generosity has fulfilled me and Cuicui, the second is to thank you for pointing me and many people to a broad road, and the third is to thank you for giving me the opportunity to worship Shen Gongzi as a teacher!" β
Seeing that Niu Si strode out after saying this, and knelt down directly in front of Lu Guangwu as if pushing the golden mountain and pouring the jade pillar, although Wang Fulin didn't understand why Lu Guangwu had to be a master and apprentice, of course he wouldn't talk much. After standing for a moment, he quietly went downstairs. thought that Xiaobei must be soaking in the kitchen with Qiao Cuicui at this time, but he didn't expect the little girl to be sitting in the bilge. He was still holding a flask in his hand, and his face was flushed.
"Where's the wine? Why did you drink it again? β
When Xiaobei heard the voice, he glanced at Wang Fulin obliquely, and then squeaked and laughed: "It was Sister Qiao who found it out and gave it to me, the best Baihua wine she brewed by herself is much stronger than what we drank before, Fourth Master Niu is really a blessing!" Besides, I also made a mess for her in the kitchen, and she was kicked out by stuffing such a flask. β
When he said this, Xiaobei shook his head with some annoyance, and then handed the wine jug to Wang Fulin, his eyes were shining: "You taste it, it's sweet but not greasy, it's better than Jinhua wine!" β
Seeing that the person actually got up and stumbled to the kitchen to get a cup, Wang Fulin couldn't help but be extremely helpless, and regretted that he shouldn't have had nothing to tease her before. When Xiaobei came back with two small porcelain cups, he took them in his hand, but snatched the wine jug and didn't let her pour it, coaxed her to sit down on the seat against the railing, and teased her without saying a word. When she gradually narrowed her eyes in a daze, and could no longer remember about drinking, he breathed a sigh of relief, and casually took off his coat and covered her tightly. At this moment, he happened to see Qiao Cuicui coming out of the kitchen with a tray of several plates of dishes.
"Just drunk? Although Baihua wine has a lot of stamina, the amount of alcohol that the bamboo girl drinks is really not very good. Seeing that Xiaobei's body was covered with Wang Fulin's coat, Qiao Cuicui asked with a smile, "I don't know ...... Wang Gongzi and Miss Bamboo are."
"She's my fiancΓ©e." Wang Fulin admired this girl who was once determined to die, and said bluntly, "I have some grudges with Shao Fang, and I was once used by him to hold me hostage and get away with it, but she begged Uncle Lu to come forward to chase her, which can be regarded as allowing me to get out." β
Qiao Cuicui had heard of Wang Fulin's quite good background before, and when she learned that Xiaobei was actually his fiancΓ©e, she was so surprised that she almost didn't hold the tray steady. After a while, she breathed a sigh of relief and said: "I am such a fallen person, she doesn't dislike it at all, I thought she was just a distant relative of Lu Gongzi." It is said that everyone is not out of the door, and the second door is not out, but I didn't expect that there would be a strange woman like the bamboo girl. β
"She's really strange enough." Wang Fulin smiled, and then didn't mention Xiaobei's matter, and concisely recruited Niu Si by himself, and set up a dart bureau in Danyang in the future, as well as Lu Guangwu's acceptance of apprentices. Upstairs, Lu Gongzi should be teaching Lao Niu, you might as well wait a little longer. β
"Okay." Qiao Cuicui nodded without saying a word, and then put the tray and the snacks and soup on Xiaobei's side, and then smiled, "I'll go to the kitchen to make some more, these Wang Gongzi, please use them slowly." β
Wang Fulin watched people leave, and then sat down next to Xiaobei, and unceremoniously took a piece of dim sum and stuffed it into his mouth. After eating, he drank a bowl of shredded egg soup with pickled cabbage and pork, he couldn't help but sigh softly, and then stretched out his hand to re-cover the coat that the little girl next to him was sleeping dishonestly.
"I know every day that I am a foodie, and when you can make something good to satisfy the stomach of my foodie, I will recite Amitabha!" (To be continued......)
