son-in-law

Chapter 34 Ximen Luoxue is not Luochen

Walking into the blacksmith's shop, Kong Xiaolin trotted over and said that the sword had already been forged and was just waiting for someone from the county magistrate to fetch it.It's been a few days since the county matriarch sent someone, and the little one is still debating whether to take the initiative to send it to the mansion.Taking out the sword and looking at it, it felt good, so Su Yu paid the money and left with the sword.When I got to the street, I took it out to have a look again. The blue light of the sword in the sun is really beautiful.

"Xiao Huan, look at my uncle, I am holding a long sword, do you look chic?"

"Yeah, you're so chic." The little maid secretly rolled her eyes.

"Hehe, that's right." Su Yupin smacked: "This Kong Xiaolin's craftsmanship is really good. Oh, Xiao Huan, do you know this Kong Xiaolin?"

Xiaohuan said: "I don't know very well, but I can tell from the name that he is a descendant of the Kong family. He is from the same family and generation as Kong Xiaoxian, the general of Anxi back then. But I guess he is also a relative of the five blessings. Otherwise, how could he be reduced to death?" To the point of blacksmithing? And..."

"Oh~, isn't this our little uncle, so leisurely, why did you bring the maid out to play again?"

Su Yu looked around, and it was Qiu Gu who came out of the Earl's mansion and shouted from afar.There was a carriage parked at the entrance of the Earl's Mansion. A young man in the carriage lifted the curtains lightly, glanced at Su Yu, and quickly put them down again.Just this one glance made Su Yu sick.Because the man's eyes were full of jealousy, as if Su Yu wanted to rob him of a woman.

Su Yu walked over, bowed and said: "So it's Qiugu, my son-in-law is going to Jixiang Street to buy some leather clothes for the night guards, passing by here."

Tang Qiu scratched his head and made a pose, twisted his body and said in a strange voice: "He is really a kind person who takes care of the servant like this. Look, why didn't I find a man as good as my uncle? The short-lived one in our family has long been Leave us behind. It's hard to say."

While speaking, Tang Qiu glanced at Su Yu's hands.Su Yu handed the sword horizontally in front of Qiugu, and said with a gentle smile:
"If Aunt Qiu likes it, just take it."

Tang Qiu pretended to be angry, waved his hand, and patted the back of Su Yu's hand: "Who do you think Auntie is? You like everything you see, want everything you see? Hmph, I think you are also a little trickster who specializes in deceiving women. You actually picked up what others didn’t want and gave it away, pretending to be a cheap and generous person. If you really want to give it away, you should give it something for a woman. Why do you want to give me a sword? Do you mean it?”

The homonym of sword is "cheap", but Qiu Gu's words are a bit heavy, Su Yu quickly said: "My son-in-law is just eager to honor Qiu Gu."

"You don't come here. Auntie, I have never seen such a man before, so you can't hide your carelessness from me." Tang Qiu looked at the sword carefully: "Huh? This doesn't seem to be the sword from last time. It seems that my uncle I love swords, I have many swords in my hands."

Su Yu sighed, "Hey, don't mention it."

"What's the matter?"

"Although the sword is old, it cuts iron like mud. I love it very much. It's a pity that I accidentally left it outside last night. I thought about it this morning and went out to look for it, but I couldn't find it. Tell me, is this a crime?" Sorry." Su Yu said regretfully.

"lost?"

"Well, I lost it."

"I don't believe it. How could such a good sword be lost?"

"Hey, believe it or not, it's up to you. If you insist on saying you haven't lost it, I'm fine too." Su Yu looked at Tang Qiu's clothes, then at the carriage, and asked, "Qiu Gu is wearing a full dress. Where are you going?"

"Where else can I go? It's not my second uncle's birthday. I'll go find a poet and ask for poems."

"Ask for poetry?"

"If you say it's a request, how can you ask for it in vain. But any famous poet, which one is not a gift of ten thousand. Our Xianbo Mansion is poor now, but we can't afford a poet like 'Fan Lou Yanxue', but we can't either. It’s too cheap. I’m going to find the champion of the previous convictions and write a poem for us. Alright, my lord, I’m leaving, see you later! The champion is still waiting for me at home, hehehe.”

"Congratulations to Aunt Qiu!"

"Well, you're so cute. I'll come to play with you often in the future."

Su Yu felt sick for a while.

Watching Tang Qiu's carriage go away, Su Yu turned to Xiao Huan and asked, "Will there be a poetry competition when the second master celebrates his birthday?"

Xiao Huan blinked: "To celebrate the birthday of the eldest master of the Tang family, there will be a poetry meeting every year."

"Oh...the poems must all be titled with the character 'Shou'?"

"It's really not this year. The second master said that the elder master used the word "longevity" to hold a poetry meeting, but people disappeared just after the birthday. So this time, the word "longevity" is not used as the title. Okay, just for fun. There will be a lot of celebrities coming, and I think there will be some good poems. In fact, just now, Qiugu was crying poor on purpose and left the house under excuses. I don’t know which wild man she went to. Now I’m running away on my own initiative There are many literati who come to send poems to their homes. They hold poem stickers and want to send them in, but they can’t find a way to send them in. They still have to go out of the house to buy them? One must know that once someone’s poem becomes famous, it will be of great help to that person. It is a great benefit. In the imperial examinations of the Liang Dynasty, when was it not a celebrity who became the number one scholar?"

When it comes to writing poems, this is not Su Yu's strong point, so he didn't plan to join in the fun.But at this moment, he thought of someone, his poet friend Xu Luochen.

Su Yu asked: "If you use Tang's military station to send urgent letters, how many days will it take to get from here to Huazhou?"

"I wonder how far it is from Huazhou to Luoyang?"

"Five hundred miles."

Xiao Huan said: "It depends on how much my uncle pays. If there is enough money, it will arrive in two days."

"Today is the twenty-eighth day of the first lunar month, and the second master's birthday is the fifth day of the next month. There is still time." Su Yu pointed to the auspicious small street: "Go and buy twelve leather clothes, and let the merchants deliver them directly to the house. In my room Settle the bill."

"Where is uncle going?"

"I'm going to post the letter."

"Grandpa, don't worry, you need the lady's approval to mail the letter, otherwise you won't be able to leave the Tangjiajun post."

Su Yu was speechless for a while: "Well, anyway, there is still time, let's go buy leather clothes first."

Thinking of my good friend Xu Luochen, I remembered that I still owed a promise to my friend—to meet his pen pal "Ximen Luoxue" on behalf of Brother Xu.

It is not easy to say that this Ximen Luoxue is the Ninth Miss from the mansion of the eldest son of the Ximen family in Luoyang, the niece of Ximen Zhensen, Duke of Chu.

The Ximen family and the Tang family had the same military strength, and 15 Huben troops were deployed along the river.Occupying the resources of Huainan, it is very rich.Years of wars in the north, the flames of war did not spread too deep into the Ximen family.They just provided some material support, and the military support of three divisions.The large troops are still stationed along the river and do not move.The beautiful name is to prevent Jin thieves from crossing the river while taking advantage of the chaos in the north.

The current Ximen family has no financial burden at all. The master, wife, young master, and miss of the Ximen family are all silk and satin rings.It was precisely because of this that Xu Luochen felt ashamed and felt that he was really not good enough for other girls.

Xu Luochen once said: Since you can't afford to marry, why don't you get entangled.It is rare for a person to have self-knowledge, and this is what I, Xu Luochen, am most proud of.Jinfeng went to meet her on my behalf, left a good impression on her, and gave me a portrait of the girl I wanted.Before leaving, leave unfeeling but gentle words to her.Since then, I have cut off correspondence with her, so that she can get married with peace of mind.

Xu Luochen claimed to be gentle and affectionate, but from Su Yu's point of view, he handled this matter in a "righteous and upright" way.Since you don't intend to be together, why let someone else meet instead, to entice the girl's heartstrings?
But I still have to do what I promised my brother.

It's just that he doesn't intend to do what he wants.In any case, prepare some gifts.When parting and saying unfeeling words, you should also handle it properly, take all the responsibilities, and just say your own fault.Let's say that he is a disabled child and can't give birth.In this way, I think the girl will definitely give up.
