Chapter 358 Bird
But he said that Zhao Zhen asked people to pack their luggage and prepare to return to the main world. After hearing this, Liu Huiniang also went to prepare some small items to give to Zhao Zhen's parents and family.
Lü Fang, Guo Sheng, and Zhu Wu were also traveling with them. Taking the catch and other output from the fantasy world, Zhao Zhen and others returned to Bailiu Village.
The news of Zhao Zhen's return naturally alarmed Ji Minghan and Ji Minglian who were stationed in Bailiu Village.
When Zhao Zhen came back, the two of them were practicing riding and slashing with the three Black Ant sisters outside the village. On the drying ground, five people each held a pair of swords, running back and forth, hacking at the straw man on the field. Occasionally he would turn around and throw a throwing knife.
By the time Zhao Zhen had arranged the goods he had brought back, Ji Minghan and the others had already arrived on horseback.
When they met Zhao Zhen, Ji Minghan and Ji Minglian rushed forward: "Husband, why did it take so long to come back?"
Zhao Zhen said: "There are always changes in the fantasy world. This I have a few days of leisure, so I will come back and take a look."
As he said that, he took out two brocade boxes from his side, handed them to the two of them, and said: "During these days, I got some of the same quality in the fantasy world. Pearls, agates, and amber have all been made into jewelry, and together with jade pendants, I have brought four sets. Each of your sisters will choose one set."
As he said that, he took out a slightly larger box from the side. He said to the three black ants standing behind Ji Minghan and the others: "There are also some exquisite jewelry made of gold and silver. You three can also choose some, which can be used on weekdays."
The three sisters Li Yao, Li Lin, and Li Ling did not refuse after hearing this. They responded readily, took the box handed over by Zhao Zhen, and each selected a set of gold and silver jewelry.
Ji Minghan also finished looking at the jewelry sent by Zhao Zhen and said, "Husband, are you going back to the city now?"
Zhao Zhen nodded and said, "There's no rush. After lunch, take a rest before going back. The heroes who came with me must also be settled first."
Following Zhao Zhen's gaze, Ji Minghan and his wife saw that they were under the corridor. Four men and women were standing there.
“This sister is so beautiful” Ji Minglian exclaimed.
Liu Huiniang blushed after hearing this and hurriedly came forward to meet Li.
"My younger sister, Liu Huiniang, is a good concubine who is favored by the official. I have met my two sisters. I guess they are the Minghan and Minglian that Sister Cheng mentioned, right?"
Ji Minghan nodded, stepped forward and took Liu Huiniang's hand, looked at her carefully, and said, "My husband is so lucky to have found a beauty like my sister again."
Zhao Zhen is here The side coughed: "Axiu is not only beautiful in appearance, she is also good at military tactics, Qimen Dunjia, Taiyi Liuren, etc. She is ingenious and can make all kinds of utensils, but she is the famous [Female Zhuge] ."
After hearing this, Liu Huiniang waved her hands and said, "How can any official say that it is so powerful?"
Zhao Zhen called Zhu Wu and three others, and introduced Ji Minghan, Ji Minglian and Hei Ant to each other. Then he and Zhu Wu and four others went to the backyard, took out the imperial edict, stamped it with a big seal, and prayed. , burned a strip of yellow paper and reported it to heaven and earth. From then on, the four of them left their names in this world.
After everything was done, Tian Lei had made arrangements to eat.
After dinner, Zhao Zhen sent Zhu Wu and the others to the military camp behind the village and asked the three to look after the village in the past few days. Zhao Zhen took Liu Huiniang, Ji Minghan and others to supervise the chariot and went to the county inside.
Unloading books, dried apricots, peony bone carvings and other items, Tian Lei returned to Bailiu Village with his own chariot.
In the room, Liu Huiniang, Ji Qingwan, Ji Xuan and others also met. Ji Qingwan and the other four each gave Liu Huiniang a sachet and a handkerchief, and Liu Huiniang also returned the gift, but this gift was different from the gifts that ordinary women give each other.
There are four exquisite dowry boxes. This dowry box is ordinary, but the lock on it is unusual. This lock is different from ordinary copper locks. It does not require a key. It can be opened by turning the words on the copper hoop to form the correct verse.
A horizontal copper pillar has five copper hoops with Chinese characters engraved on it. Turn the copper hoop to form specific words and phrases, and the lock will open.
When Jin Cuilian saw it, she thought it was novel, so Liu Huiniang made one and put it in her room. It was very precious.
Liu Huiniang simply made a few more pieces, and Cheng Wan'er also had one each. Together with the boxwood dowry made by the carpenter in the carpenter's workshop, it was just right for Ji Qingwan and the four of them. Ji Qingwan and the others received this gift in return, and heard Ji Minghan and Ji Minglian praise Liu Huiniang's intelligence from Zhao Zhen Road, which attracted Ji Qingwan and Ji Xuan's admiration.
Seeing Zhao Zhen enter the hall, Ji Xuan immediately said: "Husband, Hui Niang is too smart, isn't she? She compares with all of us."
Zhao Zhen said: "Wait for a few, each has his own. What you are good at. Huiniang is clever, but you are also good at running the family business. Qingwan takes care of things, Minghan and Minglian wield swords and guns, which frightens Xiaoxiao."
Everyone smiled when they heard Zhao Zhen's praise.
Zhao Zhen handed the list to Ji Xuan, and then said: "Well, there is another business coming."
Ji Xuan took the list and took a look, except for Xing Dried peach preserves are in short supply, and he said: "Husband, nothing else matters, but these dried apricot preserves cannot be sold now. They have to be put in winter."
Zhao Zhen nodded and said: "Of course I know that now fresh fruits are cheap and delicious, so no one comes to eat them. In winter, these things will be in short supply."
said Then, Zhao Zhen placed the three guides on the table: the Jiuxiao Huan Peiqin, "Gao Wang Jing" and "Essential Art of Qi Min: Raising Geese and Ducks". He said: "During this period, I have obtained a few new guides. You can take a look at them and see if they can be used."
As he spoke, Zhao Zhen explained the functions of the three guides. Ji Xuan He immediately picked up the Nine Heavens Ring Pei Qin and said, "Husband, I want this. The profession of a piano master matches my career as a dancer."
Zhao Zhen said, "That's fine, you can use it in these two days. Well, I will take it back later and use it to train a few luthiers in the fantasy world, and put it in restaurants and teahouses to attract business."
Zhao Zhen looked at the hand holding "The Art of Qi Min·". Ji Qingwan from "Raising Geese and Ducks" and "Gaowang Sutra" asked jokingly: "Madam, are you abandoning me and want to become a bhikshuni?"
Ji Qingwan said: "Husband, I haven't seen through the world of mortals yet. I'd better take this "Gao Wang Sutra" back with you. After all, most of the monks who take up their posts go directly to the border. I'm afraid there are some explanations in it. Unfortunately, I don't know about this either. The reason is not easy to find out. I am somewhat interested in this book "Essentials for Elevating the People: Raising Goose and Ducks". Although I can't work as a goose guest, I can instill some experience in raising a pair of geese and put them in my fantasy world. , it’s good to be a companion.”
After hearing this, Zhao Zhen patted his head and said, “Hi, madam, wait a minute.”
After saying that, he turned and walked out. , Zhao Zhen walked in carrying two bird cages covered with satin.
Uncovering the silk satin, Zhao Zhen pointed to the birdcage and said: "Madam, these are the Alexander parrots and myna I selected last time. I have taught them how to speak. From now on, I will teach you slowly and you will be able to speak. There will be more and more."
As he spoke, Zhao Zhen said to the two pairs of birds in the cage: "Hello!"
A myna tilted his head and said: "Hello!"
This sound seemed to turn on the switch, and the two words "Hello!" rang one after another.
After hearing this, Ji Qingwan and the four others gathered around them, "Husband, what else can you say?"
The first Myna to imitate suddenly said: "Husband!"
Zhao Zhen was stunned and said: "Originally, I only taught them to say 'hello'. After speaking, it is easy to learn the tongue. Therefore, the birdkeeper has to teach him personally. I also need you to name it. Get it yourself so that you can be close to it in the future.”
Ji Qingwan and the four of them chattered together to discuss naming the bird. Zhao Zhen looked at the myna strangely as the words "husband" and "hello" popped out of its mouth from time to time.
After some discussion, the four birds had their own names. The smartest myna is called Congcong, and the paired one is called Benben.
Two Alexander parrots, the female is called Ling Ling and the male is called Dang Dang.
Zhao Zhen picked up the cover and put the cage back on. He told the four people some knowledge he learned from Zhao Shiqilang. Ji Qingwan and the other four also took notes carefully, fearing that the bird's teachings would be ruined and its mouth dirty.
