The Record of Swordsmen in the Late Sui and Early Tang Dynasties

Chapter 61 Chapter 61
A few people got on their horses outside the gate of the mansion, and they cupped their hands at Chai Shao.

"Brother Chai, go back home and rest, let's meet again next year."

After finishing speaking, several people hit their horses and ran straight to their hometown.

When he arrived at Duanjiaji, Duan Wuji said to Tieniu: "Brother Tieniu, next year people who do business need to be proficient in martial arts and riding and archery. I hope you have time to supervise and supervise the three of them. Don't let the two of us take them with you." You can’t earn much money, and you’re risking your life.”

Tie Niu listened and nodded.

"Brother, don't worry. I will urge the three of them."

Duan Wuji looked at Duan Changhao and the three of them again.

"Three brothers, you and I went out to Mobei to do business this time. It is actually a dangerous trip. Although the profit is huge, it is very dangerous. You have to practice martial arts hard!

I don't want you to lose your life instead of making money.If you have time, you can ask Brother Tieniu, last time we sold cattle, how much risk did we take!

The acquisition of wealth often coexists with risks.

I don't need to say more about these principles.

Didn't I already borrow this bow and arrow from you?I hope you take the time to practice more, well, I won't say much else, let's see you later. "

After hearing this, the three of them quickly expressed their opinion: "Brother, don't worry, we will definitely practice martial arts well. You don't have to worry too much about us."

Duan Wuji listened and nodded.

"Well, with your words, I feel relieved.

Brothers, if there is anything you don't know about martial arts, you can go to Duanjiazhuang to find me. Fortunately, our two families are also very close.

Because the three of you have only a short time to practice martial arts, I have to worry about you. "

After finishing speaking, Duan Wuji gave his flattering lightly and ran towards his home.Back in the yard of his cowshed, Duan Wuji tied up and fed the horses first, and then walked straight towards his home.

Entering the main room, I saw my father drinking tea at the table.

When Duan Yanqing saw Duan Wuji came back, he asked with a smile: "Wuji, have you handed in all the money?"

Duan Wuji smiled wryly after hearing this: "Hey, don't mention it. Chai Shao recognized the principal of 1 taels of silver, and was only willing to accept 500 taels of silver from our family. Brothers Changhong and Changqing each paid 500 taels of silver, and their family squeezed our share of 500 taels of silver.

The third grandfather's family helped our family a lot in the past, so I didn't remember these. "

After hearing this, Duan Yanqing asked: "Wuji, what about the returned 500 taels of silver?"

Duan Wuji laughed and said: "The remaining 500 taels of silver let me order tea. This cart of tea is our own business. It doesn't matter if they make money or lose it.

That's fine, this is our own business after all, let them be jealous when I make money. "

Duan Yanqing laughed and said: "Wuji, are you brave enough! However, Dad supports you.

Well done son.Daddy likes you. "

Willow cauliflower just came out from the back room.

Liu Caihua listened to the conversation between the father and son and said with a smile: "Look at you father and son, what are you doing singing and drinking? This matter is obviously a disadvantage to our family, and it seems like we have taken advantage of it.

It's ridiculous. "

Duan Wuji smiled slightly.

"If you don't believe me, just wait and see. I will definitely earn the most in business next year. If you don't believe me, just wait and see."

Liu Caihua looked at Duan Wuji and said with a smile: "Silly boy, when will you take over your wife?"

Duan Wuji frowned.

"Mother, can you stop making such jokes? Is the girl Jinhua married to me? Just make such silly jokes!
If the two of us can't get married, aren't you ruining the girl's reputation?

Mother, it's not good to do this. "

Duan Yanqing laughed and said: "Yo, Wuji really understands a lot of truths! For those who are in charge, what Wuji said is also reasonable, so don't make this joke again in the future.

Hey, Wuji, what your mother said is not unreasonable, when are we going to take their father and daughter over?Just living in your second uncle's house is not the case. "

Duan Wuji thought for a while and said: "How about tomorrow, let's take them over tomorrow, how about this?"

Duan Yanqing nodded.

"Well, that's what we're going to do. Wuji, there are still more than ten days until the Chinese New Year, what are your plans?"

Duan Wuji thought for a while and said: "I plan to use this time to practice martial arts well, and strive to earn more money in the coming year, so that you can live a prosperous life."

Liu Caihua looked at Duan Wuji and said with a smile: "Damn, isn't our family's life considered rich? You see, there is something to eat and something to drink."

Duan Wuji thought for a while and said: "Mother, our family's current life is not considered poor, but there should be a certain gap from that wealth.

Mother, it won't take a few years for you to live a comfortable life. "

Liucaihua laughed and said, "I'm living comfortably now. I don't have to worry about three meals a day. I can get whatever I want. Who can compare to me?"

Duan Wuji laughed and said, "Mother, are you really in a good mood?"

"Hey, Dad, is there anything else going on in the past year?"

Duan Yanqing laughed and said: "What can happen in this winter? You'd better go practice martial arts with peace of mind."

Duan Wuji stood up and said to Duan Yanqing: "Father, please rest, I'm off to practice martial arts."

Duan Wuji walked out of the house and walked to the yard of the cowshed. Duan Wuji first practiced bow and arrow for a while, and then practiced sticks for a while, until he was covered in sweat, and then Duan Wuji finished practicing.

On the next morning, Duan Yanqing and Liu Caihua led Duan Wuji to a distant uncle's house in the west, and brought Wang Shiping's parents over.

Wang Shiping smiled at Duan Wuji.

"Benefactor, our father and daughter really have nowhere to go, so we had to come to your house. Please don't blame your benefactor!"

Duan Wuji laughed when he heard this.

"Old man, if you come, you will be at ease. You can live in my house with peace of mind. Our house has a lot of houses, so it's not a problem to live with a few more people. Don't worry, if we have food, you won't be hungry."

After hearing that, Wang Shiping burst into tears of gratitude.

"My benefactor, you are really a kind person. My girl saw you right. You are really a person who can be entrusted to you for life."

Duan Wuji frowned.

"Old man, don't you know that I, Duan Wuji, is still a child and don't understand anything, what life can I entrust to you? Old man, you'd better get rid of this idea, let's not talk about it, okay?"

Wang Shiping was taken aback.

"Engong, do you disagree with this matter?"

Duan Wuji shook his head.

"Old man, I didn't agree, and I didn't disagree. Let's wait a few years to discuss this matter. What if Sister Jinhua's conditions are high by then.

How about this, from next year, your father and daughter will work for our family, and our family will pay you according to the market price. "

Wang Shiping smiled wryly after hearing this: "Grandfather, you saved the lives of our father and daughter, as long as you don't drive us away, we will not ask your family for wages.

Engong, if you think our family's status is low, it's fine for Jinhua to be your concubine!

We father and daughter will not call these anymore. "

Duan Wuji smiled wryly after hearing this: "Your family's status is low, so our family's status is not much higher. Isn't our family also a peasant family? Of course, I have earned a little money in the past few years, but it is just to avoid violence." Just food and clothing.

Now that you have said so, then you can live in peace.

Mother, do we have bedding at home?Hurry up and arrange two houses for their father and daughter. "

Liu Caihua smiled and said: "You silly boy, do you still need to order these things? Your father and I have already prepared the place where they live and their bedding for them."

Duan Wuji laughed and said: "Well, that's good."

Duan Wuji smiled at Wang Shiping and his daughter: "Old man, you guys rest, I'm going back to my yard to practice martial arts."

After finishing speaking, Duan Wuji walked out of the house and returned to the yard of the cowshed.

Duan Yanqing watched Duan Wuji walk away, and said to Wang Shiping with a smile: "Brother, look at this child Wuji, I don't know what he thinks, he doesn't agree or disagree with this marriage, It's really hard to figure out what this kid is thinking."

Wang Shiping laughed and said, "Well, don't be in a hurry, let's take our time, as the saying goes, you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry.

I believe Jinhua will conquer him sooner or later. "

Duan Yanqing laughed and said: "Well, that's the best, to be honest, I've taken a fancy to Jin Hua, not only does she look good, she's also capable of doing things well, it's a good match for Wuji.

Brother, there's nothing else to do now, follow me into the house and drink tea. "

Liucaihua also took Wang Jinhua's hand and said, "Girl, let's go, let's chat."

In the following ten days, Duan Wuji practiced martial arts day and night, except for eating, Duan Wuduan rarely went back to his parents' yard.

During this period of time, Duan Wuji has a new understanding of the new method of inner strength taught by his master, and now he gradually understands some things that were specious before.
