Chapter 128 Getting acquainted
I saw beautiful mountains and water surrounding the peaks. The yard is lush with green vegetation and surrounded by tall white walls. There are green trees, small bridges and flowing water, white walls and black tiles, mountains, water, forests and stones integrated into one, waterside pavilions, wooden doors, stone bridges and well-proportioned courtyards.
Exactly:
The Baishi Valley Garden has many beautiful scenery, the pond is curved with clear waves, the outside of the Yuanxiang Hall is as clear as a picture, and there is a cool breeze on all sides.
Everyone looked at it and praised Tao Zongwang.
At night, everyone went to the lobby between the school ground and the courtyard. This lobby was built in a beam-carrying style. Although there were many consumables, there were few columns in the room, so the space was huge, and it was not crowded for two to three hundred people. Wine, fruits, delicacies, and vegetables have been arranged here, and they are very complete. Everyone pushed him to sit down.
Zhao Zhen sat at the head, fifteen heroes gathered together, and twenty-seven people including the village officials and stewards sat around. Li Xiaoer's wife, Zhang Qiao, together with Bai Zhi, Jin Cuilian, and their family members, set up a separate place in the hall and set up a screen to surround them, and they all drank on the edge.
At the banquet, Zhao Zhen stood up, holding a glass of wine in his hand, and said: "The Book of Rites records: 'The emperor faces the sun in spring and the moon in autumn.' Today I celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival with all my brothers. I hope I will wait for you. Brothers often get together, and although they live in poverty, they only want everyone to be happy. May we keep our loyalty in our hearts, and work together to protect the country and the people. "
After hearing this, everyone said hello and drank from the glasses together. Zhao Zhen patrolled for three more times before letting everyone drink and drink freely, and for a while they drank and drank.
After the wine was half drunk, everyone moved to the school yard in front. New crabs appeared, plump snails were born, and sometimes new fruits such as pomegranates, papayas, pears, dates, chestnuts, and grapes were served. Watching the moon and drinking wine. There were even six apprentices trained by Jiao Ting who came to play sumo wrestling for fun.
The six of them were all big-bodied and round-waisted young men, headed by Zhang Qi, who was Zhang Er. Zhao Zhen gave him a new name after he became a disciple of Jiao Ting. This time he took office and became a member of the heroic class. Although Zhang Qi is dull, his talent is excellent. He has dual professions since he was employed at a young age. His primary and secondary professions are sumo wrestler and blacksmith. Although he is only at the first level, his attributes are much better than those of Zhao Ji.
The drinking lasted until midnight before everyone dispersed. Beside the school grounds, thirty or fifty small courtyards with one entrance were built for the temporary residence of heroes and stewards. Zhao Yuanli led everyone there and arranged their accommodation one by one.
Zhao Zhen sent everyone away, but did not go to rest, and returned to the main world with Bai Zhi and Jin Cuilian. The three of them showed off their figures in the house in Nanshi. This was the fantasy world that Zhao Zhen returned from here specifically last time, just to bring the two of them to the main world to see the Mid-Autumn Festival.
There was only one gatekeeper on duty in the yard, and the rest of the people went home to reunite. The three of them spoke to the concierge, held hands and went out.
But see:
The golden phoenix is refreshing, the jade dew is cool, the fragrant osmanthus is floating, and the silver toad is full of light.
Princes and grandsons, from wealthy families, all climb dangerous towers, play under the moon in the pavilions, or open pavilions, prepare feasts, play harp and harp, drink wine and sing, to predict the joy of the evening.
When they arrive at a home where a mat is spread, they also go up to the small platform, arrange a family banquet, and gather around their children to celebrate the festival. Although the poor people in the shabby alleys drink wine from farmers and markets, they barely welcome the guests and refuse to waste their time. That night, people were selling and buying in the street, until the five drums were played, people were playing in the moonlight, and the mother-in-law was in the market, and the burning was endless.
Although Zhao Zhen had five or six points of wine, he still sobered up after drinking the hangover soup. The three of them walked and stopped, eating all kinds of food, buying whatever they saw, and eating all the way. Waiting until dawn, the three of them returned to their residence to rest.
On the second day, the three of them got up at noon. Bai Zhi and Jin Cuilian cooked some dishes, and the three of them sat around and ate them. Then he went out and hired a carriage to go to his father Zhao Jin.
After seeing Li, Bai Zhi and Jin Cuilian followed their mother Li E to the backyard, where Zhao Jin, Zhao Xiang, and Zhao Zhen started chatting in the hall.
Zhao Jindao: "Erlang, in the past half month, we have set a date with the royal family. The twenty-eighth day of the eighth month of the lunar calendar is opposite to the chicken evil, which is [suitable] for marriage, alliance, acceptance, sacrifice, prayer, and marriage. Zhai, be prepared and don't miss the date."
Zhao Zhen said: "Don't worry, father, my son will take care of it."
Zhao Xiang said: "Erlang, where will you get married? You must also arrange the wedding room in advance. Don’t improvise. It is most likely to make mistakes in a panic.”
Zhao Zhen said: “Father, brother, the house I have in Nanshi is the best. It covers more than two acres. Not shabby.”
Zhao Jin said: "I also think this place is the best. Bailiu Village is a bit remote after all, and most of the houses have earthen walls. In the past few days, I will go to Nanshi's house to decorate it, put up lanterns and colors, and write the red "Happy" message one day in advance. "It's done."
Zhao Zhen said: "It's my father's arrangement. Brother, I have to meet brothers Guo Kaiwen and Guo Kaiwu at our restaurant tonight. Brother, don't forget."
Zhao Xiang said: "Remember, didn't I say it last time? Erlang and I are now quite mature, so going to get to know the two brothers of the Guo family does not count as our attachment."
Zhao Zhen said: "Brother, now "Is it the second level?"
Zhao Xiang said: "I was promoted five days ago and was promoted to the rank of commander three days ago."
Zhao Zhen said: "Since my brother has reached the second level, I also have a gift for my brother. I have a Bailiancuo golden sword in the fantasy world. I will stay here in a few days and bring it to my brother."
Zhao Xiangye Without refusing, he said: "This is the best, it saves me the money to buy it myself. After looking around, I couldn't find anything suitable. I asked someone to find out. These advanced weapons are not just for sale. They have to be purchased by others. Thousands of low-level weapons are enough. Most of the high-level weapons on display are defective or uncommon weapons. I also want to ask my boss to come forward and buy a high-level simple sword. , it’s a gift from my brother, so I can thank Erlang.”
Zhao Zhen said: “My brother, what does it matter? There is a blacksmith in my fantasy world who is very skilled. I am a good man, and I have obtained some high-level good iron, and now I am making weapons. If my brother has connections in the army, I can also produce some high-level weapons, but in addition to money, I also need some good iron. "
After hearing this, Zhao Xiang nodded and said, "Erlang, I have written this down."
The three chatted for a long time. Zhao Xiang had just advanced and couldn't help but feel itchy hands. , the three of them went to the courtyard to compete. Although Zhao Zhen was only at the first level, he took a lot of spiritual objects and learned a lot of martial arts, so his martial arts was higher than that of Zhao Xiang. Both of them used long sticks, and Zhao Zhen knocked the stick out of Zhao Xiang's hand at thirty.
Zhao Xiang was no slouch either. He pulled Zhao Zhen and competed with a plain knife again. Zhao Zhen was afraid of getting hurt, so the blade of the knife was wrapped in coarse cloth. It was another test, but Zhao Xiang was slightly better. Zhao Xiang laughed and said: "Erlang, the gun and stick are not as good as yours, but that's why I have only practiced simple swords recently."
Zhao Zhen also laughed and said: "Brother is also the second level after all. You should be better than me."
When they saw Youshi, the two Zhao Zhen brothers packed up, mounted their horses, and went to their fish farm. The two tied up their horses and entered the restaurant. They met Miao Erniang first.
Just listen to Miao Ying say: "Dalang, Erlang, the private room by the window has been reserved. In the Hongyun Hall on the second floor, the fish used is carp weighing a hundred catties. I also made a fish for sixteen meals." , the wine used is [Huajia Baijiu] sent by Erlang.”
Zhao Xiang said: "Thank you Er Niang for your trouble. All the expenses today will be charged to me."
Miao Ying said: "It doesn't cost a lot of money. The fish and wine were all brought by Er Lang. Just thank Er Lang." Okay."
Zhao Zhen said: "Hey, it's worth doing business. Erniang, are the guests here?"
Miao Ying said: "Not yet, your brother will go up first. I'll ask someone to lead him up when he comes."
Yuzhuang was busy at this time, so Zhao Zhen and his wife heard this and went to the second floor. There are seven or eight elegant rooms on the second floor, named after the halls, Tianshou Hall, Jinyu Hall, Caiman Hall, Xinglong Hall, Gaosheng Hall, Hongyun Hall... Zhao Zhen is in the sixth room.
As soon as the two of them sat down, the waiter brought melon seeds, peanuts, fruit snacks and other items. The two of them ate while waiting for brothers Lu Zhuocheng, Guo Kaiwen and Guo Kaiwu.
Lu Zhuocheng and Li Tianyou arrived first. The four of them were chatting when the waiter ushered brothers Guo Kaiwen and Guo Kaiwu in. Everyone exchanged pleasantries again, and the six of them sat down together. Zhao Zhen said to the waiter: "Waiter, let's start the dishes."
The waiter responded and went downstairs. After a while, sixteen fish dishes were brought up one by one. Zhao Zhen poured wine for everyone and raised his glasses: "Brothers, this is my biological brother Zhao Xiang, who is also serving in the army. I have met several brothers today, so that we can take care of each other in the army in the future."
Zhao Xiang also stood up, picked up his wine glass, and said, "We are all colleagues in the army and classmates of Erlang. I came here specially to get to know you today. From now on, we will all be close brothers."
Everyone listened. , also stood up and raised their glasses, and the six of them drank together. After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, everyone was familiar with each other. Lu Zhuocheng said: "Erlang, when will your wedding be held? It's better for you to prepare early."
Zhao Zhen said: "We have just set a date. It will be the twenty-eighth of this month at my house in Nanshi."
Li Tianyou heard this and said: "Zhao Erlang, your wedding is early enough. Brothers are still here." I haven’t been on a blind date. Can we recognize this girl?”
Lu Zhuocheng said: “Brother Li, you should be well-informed in the public affairs. Brother Zhao Zhen is still a good person now. A princess with one wife and three concubines."
Li Tianyou said: "Damn it, Zhao Erlang, you are so lucky. You have four wives and concubines at such a young age? What a dowry for a royal princess? You will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of your life."
Before Zhao Zhen could speak, Lu Zhuocheng rushed to say, "What the hell, Zhao Erlang has already married two concubines. Now he is a wealthy man, and the reason why the princess likes Erlang is because of his good management.”
Guo Kaiwen and Guo Kaiwu asked together: "Zhao Erlang, when it comes to hard work, my two brothers have also been on the battlefield now. They have made military exploits when they newly joined the army. They are not rare in the entire army, and we are also considered outstanding. , How come there is no noble girl getting married? You are just a manor owner, why did Lu Sanlang say that your management is good?"
Zhao Zhen said: "Why did Lu Sanlang say that? My farm belongs to Luliu Town. Gao Hu, a descendant of the royal family, works here. We are similar in age and we got to know each other from time to time. When he saw that I didn't have a wife, he introduced his sister. After seeing each other, he thought it was suitable and we were ready to get married. "
< br>After everyone heard this, they couldn't help but say with envy, Zhao Zhen was ordered to commit a crime. Several people agreed to go to Zhao Zhen's place to attend Zhao Zhen's wedding on August 28th.
Zhao Zhen thanked him, and everyone continued drinking and eating fish. Lu Zhuocheng said: "Zhao Erlang, where did this wine come from? I have never drunk it before. It is refreshing and refreshing. It is the best way to relieve the heat."
The Zhao brothers also said: "That's true. After drinking it, my whole body is clear." .”
Zhao Zhen said: "This is [Huajia Baijiu] brewed in my fantasy world. This is a small wine. It is white in color without steaming. It is similar to sake. It is also called raw wine. Raw wine is clearer than snow, and boiled wine is as red as blood. Xia Zhen said. It’s best to cool off during the summer heat.”
Everyone laughed after hearing this, and they chatted happily for a while. Lu Zhuocheng said: “Zhao Erlang, have you used all the three weapons you just bought last time?”
Zhao Zhen said: "How can it be so easy to find? There is a powerful blacksmith in my fantasy world. So I can use these as materials to make several advanced weapons."
The three of them listened and said: "Zhao Erlang, if you have a suitable weapon, please remember me and wait."
Zhao Zhen said: "Well, to make a weapon, this requires good iron. How many of you? Brothers, if you have advanced iron materials, you can also use them to replace them with reliable weapons.”
Guo Kaiwen said: "My brothers have a piece of meteorite in their hands. We will send it to Erlang's house tomorrow."
Zhao Zhen nodded in agreement, and everyone chatted some more. By the time of Hai, the six people dispersed.
