Datang Happy Landlord

Chapter 437;
Chapter 430; Duanmu Liangyong and Mo Xie

Li Yu was asking Cheng Chusi about the knowledge of the Ten Famous Swords when a servant rushed in to report the matter excitedly;
"The villain pays homage to the Patriarch, and Mr. Cheng Jialang."

"Exemption."

"How? But the next patriarch of the Duanmu family is here?"

"The master of the house said that it is the descendants of the Kong family who came hand in hand with the descendants of the Yan family. A total of twenty chariots and horses have arrived at the entrance of our workshop. The villain hurried in to announce that the master of the house is welcome. After Kongmen."

When this person said that the descendants of Confucius came, their faces were full of excitement, and their voices rose a lot unconsciously. In this era of Confucian culture, no matter which family the disciples of Confucius came, they really answered that sentence. As the saying goes, when a distinguished guest arrives, it will be full of glory.

Cheng Chusi stood up with a bang, holding the hilt of the sword at his waist with his left hand, and said with a little excitement;

"Let's go brother, I will go out with you to meet the descendants of Confucianism."

Li Yu nodded heavily;
"Okay, younger brother will go out with elder brother."

The two brothers happily walked side by side, Li Yi followed behind in brand new clothes, and they left the main hall.

The sixteen men from Longxi who were waiting in the courtyard at the entrance, led by the two brothers Ma Shijiu and Liang Daudao, walked behind Li Yi like the wind and with a tiger's pace.

The 16 people are all in high spirits today. A while ago, the head of the family arranged for the disciples of the three major tailors in the mansion to tailor a set of new silk and satin clothes for each of the fifty guards around Li Yu. A guard has just been brought into his hands,
If it weren't for the family's grand reception of distinguished guests today, these guards would not have worn this incomparably expensive new clothes no matter what.

Although this kind of silk and satin clothes are not comparable to the high-quality silk clothes of the owner, they are also the highest level that ordinary people can wear. Can they not be expensive?

How many people have never worn one in their entire life, who is willing to spend a few pennies on it?How many people's life savings are just that consistent.

Not to mention their domestic servants, let's just say those merchants who are rich and wealthy. They have no shortage of money to use, but they can only wear that kind of coarse clothes. If they enter that lowly profession, they are doomed not to be able to wear noble clothes for the rest of their lives. .

Merchants are absolutely not qualified to wear satin fabrics. How dare you break the rules?The imperial court will immediately arrest you and beat you.

Who wears what clothes are determined by the ancestors. I don’t know how many years it has been passed down. However, Li Yu’s servants can wear them.

Firstly, they are all servants' attire styles, and secondly, Qiwang with five surnames is a real nobleman among the nobles. As long as the head of the family can afford the money, he is qualified to wear this kind of harmless ordinary silk and satin for the servants around him.

So when these guards walked, they all had their arms crossed. Everyone wanted to lift their arms up as much as possible to avoid friction between their arms and their bodies. What can I do if it is worn out?

Originally, Li Yu was the elite selected from the family's children, not one under five feet three three, all of them were tall and burly,

After coming to the mansion to be the guards of the Patriarch, they were all full of mutton. After getting sufficient nutrition, the muscles of these people became much stronger, and now they walk with their arms crossed, and their aura is even more terrifying...

Li Yu and his group quickly came to the gate of the General's Mansion and stood there. Sure enough, the carriages and horses had already entered the workshop. In just a few breaths, they beat the eldest son of the Kong family and the eldest son of the Yan family together. They stopped by Li Yu's side one after the other.

It didn't take long for the 27 carriages to stop quietly, and the servants who drove the carriages yelled loudly to stop the animals, and the team completely fell silent.

The servants began to take out their horses and put them in front of the carriage door. After the leaders of the two families got out of the carriage, the servants in front of the 25 carriages at the back raised the door curtain and waited for their respective masters to get off.

Neighbors in the neighborhood heard about this a few days ago. Today, the left and right sides of the Grand General's Mansion are crowded with spectators, probably as many as hundreds or even thousands of people!
Li Yi watched the honored guests get out of the car, turned around and ordered a leader next to him;

"Hurry up, hurry up, the honored guest got off the car, quickly put the bamboo into the brazier and burn it up, hurry up, leave some of the young patriarch of the Duanmu family behind!"

After a group of servants got the order, they hurriedly put several piles of bamboo on both sides of the gate of the General's Mansion into nine big braziers in batches,

They were all cut down three or four days in advance, and the brazier had already been burning for hours, and there were special servants to wait on it. The fire was raging right now, and it didn’t take long for the bamboo to be thrown in before it burst into crackling noises. The children in the spectator crowd screamed and screamed, much more excited than the adults.

Li Yu waited for the sound of the firecrackers to finish, then straightened his clothes and took three steps forward, bowing down and bowing down;

"Welcome the two brothers to come to the house, and look forward to Jiazhi."

Cheng Chusi also saluted well, the whole process was meticulous and impeccable;
"Congratulations to Brother Kong and Brother Yan, and praise Jiasheng."

The eldest son of the Confucian family bent down to return the gift with his hands flat and his expression normal;

"Brother Yu thank you two virtuous brothers, I wish Kangji well."

The eldest son of the Yan family is only five or six years younger than the leader of the Kong family, and looks about to be in his thirties.

"Brother Yu thanked the two virtuous brothers and wished you peace and health."

The four of them finished their salutations to each other, and then the other direct relatives of Kong Yan's family came up. Li Yu and Cheng Chusi bowed down and bowed again. A group of scholars were all dressed in new clothes, wearing bright crowns on their heads, and jade hairpins on their temples. The swords hanging from the waist are all romantic and suave, and the jade trees are facing the wind, and they all perfectly fit the rites handed down by the saints.

The thousands of people watching were stunned. Many people were secretly imitating the etiquette of these nobles. Some people were afraid that they would not be able to remember the words of greetings that people like Li Yu said. Remember it in your heart, go back and teach it to your own sons...

Li Yu said cautiously after finishing his ceremony;
"I don't dare to ask you brothers to stand at the door. I respectfully invite you to enter the mansion and wait a while. The younger brother welcomes the Patriarch Duanmu and then goes in to entertain the brothers. I would like to ask the two brothers whether it is possible to do this?"

Kong Yingda's eldest son, Kong Zhixuan, looked at the eldest relative of the Yan family next to him and said with a big smile;

"Baekhyun, why don't we just wait here for someone from the Duanmu family?"

"Yes."

Li Yu smiled embarrassedly;

"How can this make it so, the brothers are already flourishing when they come to the humble house, how can you bother the brothers to wait here, is this the way of hospitality?"

The eldest son of the Yan family inherited his kindness and honesty from Aye Yan Shigu, and smiled a little honestly;

"Brother, don't be polite. The people from Duanmu's family are also one of the 72 sages under the sage's sect. The Duanmu family has avoided the world for thousands of years, and they rarely see each other. Brother Yu is here to welcome and wait. You don’t need to see too much.”

Kong Zhixuan also answered;
"That's right, belonging to the same origin is just the way to welcome you. You don't have to refuse, my virtuous brother. I'm here to accompany the Patriarch Duanmu today. If we don't wait for the distinguished guests, we will go in and sit firmly like Mount Tai, but we will leave him cold." On one side, don't laugh the world's big teeth out."

Li Yucheng and Chusi also stopped being polite, they had agreed in advance to ask someone to accompany the important guest, and now it was just a few words of modesty to go through the motions, the two brothers thanked each other again, and the group of people calmed down to each other Talking and waiting for the guests to arrive.

The servants lined up to drive the carriages into the General's Mansion through the side door, and the entrance was vacant again. Dozens of servants from the General's Mansion immediately came out, quickly cleaned up the feces pulled by the animals, and sprinkled water again Sweep it clean again.

Everyone was asking about their health, but after a while, they saw an unpretentious carriage coming from the entrance of the square, with two boys sitting in front of the carriage, coming slowly.

A group of people saw the approaching carriage and silenced their voices. After a while, the carriage and horses stopped in front of the General's Mansion. One of the two boys greeted the carriage, and the other turned over and jumped off the carriage. Landing in front of the carriage door on the other side, he simply took off the Maza and placed it at the carriage door.

Li Yu looked at the boy's lithe figure, and applauded in his heart, just looking at the boy's exposed hand, he knew that he was not a simple person,
The other boy stopped the carriage and came down to pull the reins around the horse's neck. The rolled up cuffs showed the extremely strong muscles in his arms.

The two boys were both before the age of 20, neither tall nor low, and not very burly, but they looked very strong, and everyone could understand that the young patriarch of a big family came out to travel around the world, and two capable people were not arranged to protect that It's just too unreasonable.

A group of people moved two steps forward, waiting for the distinguished guests in the carriage to get off. Everyone was still waiting when their eyes blurred. A young man of average build stood on the top of the carriage, straightened his clothes and bowed his head;

"I pay my respects to all my brothers and sisters, and to my county uncle Li. There are a lot of disturbances today. Please excuse me, brothers, who are busy up and down. I feel extremely uneasy and guilty."

I saw this man with bright eyes and star eyebrows, elegant demeanor, in his early twenties, with a crown on his hair and a belt floating on both sides, he wore an ancient sword on his left, and a simple and high-quality white jade on his right, and the jade pendant was two fingers wide. The red skin wraps the fat of the jade pendant.

A group of people hurriedly bowed down to return the salute, and after doing all the etiquette at the gate of the General's Mansion, they entered the mansion talking and laughing. Duanmu Liangyong kept looking at Li Yu's waist along the way, and Li Yu was always indifferent. He stopped to look at Duanmu Liangyong's saber, the two of them were not like other people's sabers, which were just for decoration, both of them were holding the hilt of the sword with their left hands, coping with each other without saying a word.

After coming to sit down in the main hall, the two spoke at the same time.

"General?"

"Moxie?"

When the twenty or so scholars in the room heard the names of the two famous swords, they all looked at their waists in amazement, only to find that their sabers were quite different from their own and others' sabers.
There are also some differences in size, the blades are much shorter than those worn by ordinary people, and the hilts are all the same style, and just by looking at the hilts, you can tell that they are all very ancient treasures.

Both of them smiled at the same time, Li Yu took off the saber from the hook on his waist, held it in his hand and said calmly;
"This sword is called Ganjiang, and it was rewarded by my aunt."

Duanmu Liangyong also took off the sword and held it in his hand, and explained the same;

"This sword is called Mo Xie, and it was rewarded by my mother."

Both of them confirmed their respective guesses, and Li Yu finally understood the situation in his heart. Ever since the young Patriarch Duanmu got out of the car, Li Yu was full of inexplicable feelings about the people in the car.

When someone got off the car and the two approached, Li Yu somehow wanted to get close to Duanmu Liangyong, and then saw that the other party's saber was equally old,
The hilt was exactly the same as his own, and the blade was not much different. The opponent's saber was only a little thinner than his own.

Li Yu has been guessing whether the other party is wearing the Mo Xie sword, and Duanmu Liangyong also has the same idea, suspecting that Li Yu's saber is the general.

At this moment, the two finally got confirmation, nodded, and drew out the two swords at the same time, the whole main hall immediately felt an indescribable chill, faint but real.

The two drew out their swords to compare, and the two thousand-year-old sharp weapons finally met again at this moment. As the two drew out their swords, both swords trembled slightly, and the sound of the sword being unsheathed echoed through the beams.

Not to mention the two of them, more than 20 young people surrounded them. Who wouldn't want to see clearly the grace of these two peerless swords?

The two swords were exactly the same, one big and one small, one a little longer, the other a little shorter, and there was a faint blush in the middle of the two swords.

Li Yu looked at Duanmu Liangyong's left index finger, there was indeed a scar that had just grown up, Li Yu said with a smile;

"Brother, this sword was probably given by my aunt when my brother went out."

Duanmu Liangyong looked at the white cloth wrapped in Li Yu's left hand, nodded and responded with a smile;
"Brother Yu, this sword was also gifted by the Qin family's aunt today. I wonder if brother Yu's guess is accurate?"

"Of course."

"Ha ha ha ha."

"Ha ha ha ha."

Everyone listened to the two asking each other, and then they all nodded to admit that the other's guess was correct, and they were all in admiration. These two guys are really capable, and they even told when the other party got the reward. I don't know what the way is?

Only Cheng Chusi couldn't understand it the most. Both of them had a cut when they were recognized by the sword. The wound on Duanmu Liangyong's hand was very fresh. You can figure it out, there's nothing special about it.

Duanmu Liangyong said to Li Yu seriously;
"I don't know if Aunt Qin's family is free. Brother Yu wants to visit the elder."

Li Yu quickly bent down and answered;

"Brother, my aunt has been sitting in the side hall of the front yard for a long time, and brother can just go to see her at this moment."

Duanmu Liangyong bowed to the children of the Kong and Yan families;
"Brothers, wait for a while, I don't know when the next meeting will be when I go out. I still want to meet the elders when I come here today. After my meeting, I will come to meet with the brothers and have a good drink."

"My dear brother, let's go."

"Brother will go, I will wait patiently."

Cheng Chusi stayed behind to talk with the children of the two families, while Li Yu took Duanmu Liangyong out. Along the way, the two of them seemed like good friends who hadn't seen each other for a long time. They talked very happily, and Li Yu asked excitedly;

"Brother came from Shandong, did you have any anecdotes, and visited the fairy mountain cave, must have seen a lot?"

"That's natural, dear brother, you don't know. I have never left the house since I was a child. This is the first time I have come out to play. It is so interesting. Many places along the way have different folk customs. Even talking and doing things They all have different styles, but it has given me a lot of insight when I grow up."

"Little brother is really envious of elder brother. I have never left home. I only came to Chang'an last year. I usually grew up in the countryside of Lantian. I have never met outsiders.

Zhuangzi is full of my own people, and I also think about reading thousands of books and traveling thousands of miles to help confirm it, and I also want to go out and travel the world,

It's just that I'm still shouldering the important task of the Supreme, and I can't get away. After I have dealt with some chores, I will follow my brother's way of traveling around the world, seeing the beautiful scenery in all directions, and tasting different tastes. A good man should Only by doing it can we live up to our beautiful youth. "
