Chapter 255 Sister-in-law Zhu
Li Chuan immediately stood up and opened the door for Butler Liu, and then saw a cart full of things behind him.
Butler Liu said: "The Yuanwai said that when you come back at this time, it may be too late to buy new year's goods. I happened to have a lot at home, so I asked me to deliver them." After saying this, he said hello People move things inside.
Li Chuan thanked him and invited him to sit in the room.
After sitting down, Manager Liu talked about the situation at Yuan Wai’s family, saying: “Yuan Wai’s family has grown a lot this year. In the first half of the year, the eldest son got a son. This month, the second son also got a new son. I have a daughter. Today, I wanted to come in person, but I had too many things to do at home, so I was asked to come first.”
Li Chuan said quickly: "This is a happy event. When I come to visit you in a few days, I must express my congratulations to the members."
Manager Liu sat down for a while, then said goodbye and left.
After he left, Tong Luo said: "I didn't expect that Zhang Yuanwai would be a grandfather so soon."
Li Chuan said: "You are too, maybe next year, you will be too. "Dad."
Tong Luo said nothing, but his expression was smiling.
After lunch, Tong Luo left to find Monk Wukong.
Li Chuan walked around the room and checked the things sent by Zhang Yuanwai. There were all the food and New Year pictures. After placing them, the home seemed to have a more festive atmosphere.
The next morning, Chang Xiao came back. He said, "Director Jiang went to Guyue Gate. I didn't want to go that far, so I came back first."
Li Chuan asked curiously: "Did Chief Jiang discover something?"
Chang Xiao shook his head and said, "I don't know, but he said he will return within three days, so we don't have to worry."
Li Chuan nodded. He was used to these monks coming and going mysteriously.
Gong Er and Pang San were still in retreat, so Li Chuan asked Chang Xiao: "I'm going to see Blacksmith Cen today, will you go?"
Chang Xiao immediately agreed and said, "Okay. Ah.”
Li Chuan took a bunch of bacon from the New Year goods sent by Zhang Yuanwai, and walked to the blacksmith shop with Chang Xiao. The snow on the road has not yet melted, and when we arrived, it was already too late.
The door of the blacksmith shop is closed.
Going out?
Li Chuan knocked on the door, but there was no response. After he knocked a few more times, he heard a woman's voice asking: "Who is it?"
Li Chuan was stunned for a moment. , asked: "Is this Blacksmith Cen's house?"
There were some footsteps inside the door, and then, the door opened, and a woman wearing a dark blue double-breasted dress with a scimitar at her waist stood. At the door, he looked at them and asked, "What do you want from Lao Cen?"
The woman looked no longer young, her face was weathered, but her eyes were very beautiful.
Li Chuan realized that she might be the wife of the demon hunter that Tiejiang Cen mentioned. He hurriedly said: "Sister-in-law, I am Li Chuan..."
"Li Chuan? The scholar of the town?" The woman had obviously heard of it. Li Chuan's name, she took the bacon from Li Chuan, stepped aside to let them in, and said: "Old Cen went out to buy things. He has been out for a while, and he will probably be back later."
Li Chuan and Chang Xiao entered the blacksmith shop.
The woman brought out preserved fruit tea to entertain them and said: "Old Cen has always mentioned you to me and said that thanks to you, the harvest this year has been much better." She added: "My surname is Zhu, you call me "Sister-in-law Zhu is fine." Li Chuan said hurriedly: "Sister-in-law Zhu, there is no need to entertain us. I come here often. We can just do it ourselves."
Sister-in-law Zhu was also very cheerful and said, "Okay, you guys sit down for a while and call me if you need anything."
After that, she turned around and walked back.
Chang Xiao still vaguely remembered who Blacksmith Cen was, and he asked: "Last time I went crazy on the mountain, Blacksmith Cen was there, right?"
"Yes, he was there too. "Li Chuan said.
"The people Mr. Li met all came from extraordinary backgrounds as expected." Chang Xiao said.
Li Chuan just wanted to deny it, but after thinking about it, Blacksmith Cen's identity as the suspected last descendant of Zhuxing Pavilion and his wife, a demon hunter, were indeed different from ordinary blacksmiths.
So he said: "Blacksmith Cen's skills are very good. Even the Qin Tianjian wants to keep him. Since you are here, why not order a weapon by the way. Although it is not a magic weapon, it is worse than There are indeed many unique features about ordinary weapons."
"Okay." Chang Xiao agreed and said, "That's right. I want to make a new sword. This one is a bit light. "
While talking, Tiejiang Cen came back. After seeing Li Chuan and Chang Xiao, he was very happy and said: "Brother Li, are you back? "
Li Chuan introduced: "Mr. Chang Xiao, you have met him."
"Oh? That... the adopted son of the general?" Tiejiang Cen looked at Chang Xiao and said, "I don't recognize him at all. Are you in good health now?"
Chang Xiao said, "Thanks to Mr. Li, That's great. I'll cause trouble for you then."
"That's good," Blacksmith Cen looked at him again and said, "I see you are a man of etiquette. Why, General..."
At this time, Sister-in-law Zhu came out, interrupted Blacksmith Cen, and said, "The wine is hot and the rabbits and pheasants are killed. Go and burn them quickly."
Tiejiang Cen belatedly asked Li Chuan and Chang Xiao: "You haven't eaten noodles yet, have you? It's also difficult to walk on the road today... Just sit down and I'll be back soon."
Then he formally introduced Sister-in-law Zhu to them and said: "This is my wife, a demon hunter with a fierce reputation, and her name is Silver Sword Girl." Then he said to Sister-in-law Zhu: "This is what I told you. Many times, Li Chuan, and this is Li Chuan’s friend, the adopted son of the general.”
After Tiejiang Cen stewed the rabbit and pheasant, he came back and said to Li Chuan. Chuan said, "You come back just in time. Brother Tong is hosting a banquet next month. We wanted to write a letter to call you back before, but Brother Tong said that you and Daoist Wen have important things to do, so you may not be able to spare time. So I gave it up."
He asked: "Have you done all your things?"
Li Chuan replied: "A few have been done, and there will be several more to come." He couldn't help sighing, and after realizing it, he changed the topic and said: "In the next few years, I will probably be in the capital, so I want to get together with the brothers. Brother Tong went to invite Wu Kong, so I came to find you, just in time If you have any weapons to mend, I will mend a few more while I have time."
Blacksmith Cen said, "There are indeed two. I would like to ask you to mend them, but I have rejected all the others who have asked. , these two items were really hard to recommend, and they were willing to wait, so I agreed.”
Li Chuan said: "I will keep a few more. I have some new ideas recently. I would like to ask you for help. Let's try and see if it can work."
"Why are you so polite?" Blacksmith Cen said: "Quickly It’s Chinese New Year, and my blacksmith shop is closed. Whatever you want me to do, just ask me.” The good rabbits and chickens were brought out in pots.
After drinking and eating, Blacksmith Cen took Li Chuan to Chang Xiao to see the weapons that needed to be repaired.
