Lord: Start with a book of Water Margin

Chapter 128 Getting acquainted
I saw beautiful mountains and water surrounding the peaks. The yard is lush with green vegetation and surrounded by tall white walls. There are green trees, small bridges and flowing water, white walls and black tiles, mountains, water, forests and stones integrated into one, waterside pavilions, wooden doors, stone bridges and well-proportioned courtyards.

It is:

There are many beautiful scenery in Baishi Valley Garden. The pond is curved with clear waves, the outside of Yuanxiang Hall is as clear as a picture, and there is a cool breeze on all sides.

Everyone looked at it and praised Tao Zongwang.

At night, everyone went to the lobby between the school grounds and the courtyard. This lobby was built in a beam-carrying style. Although there were many consumables, there were few columns in the room, so the space was huge, and it was not crowded for two to three hundred people. Wine, fruits, delicacies, and vegetables have been arranged here, and they are very complete. Everyone pushed him to sit down.

Zhao Zhen took the seat at the head, fifteen heroes gathered together, and twenty-seven people from each village, such as chief ministers and stewards, sat around. Li Xiaoer's wife, Zhang Qiao, together with Bai Zhi, Jin Cuilian, and their family members, set up a separate place in the hall and set up a screen to surround them, and they all drank on the edge.

At the banquet, Zhao Zhen stood up, holding a glass of wine in his hand, and said: "The Book of Rites records: 'The emperor springs and the sun rises, and autumn sets the moon.' Today I celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival with all the brothers. I hope that our brothers will always get together. Although Even though we live in poverty and lowly status, we are full of modesty. I only want everyone to be happy. May we keep loyalty in our hearts together, and work together with meritorious deeds to protect the country and the people. We will also live a happy life through this."

After hearing this, everyone said hello and drank from the glasses together. Zhao Zhen patrolled for three more times before letting everyone drink and drink freely, and for a while they drank and drank.

When the wine was half drunk, everyone moved to the school yard in front. There were new crabs, plump snails, and sometimes new pomegranates, papayas, pears, dates, chestnuts, grapes and other fruits. Everyone admired the moon while drinking. There were even six apprentices trained by Jiao Ting who came to play sumo wrestling for fun.

The six of them were all big-bodied and round-waisted young men, headed by Zhang Qi, who was Zhang Er. Zhao Zhen gave him a new name after he became a disciple of Jiao Ting. This time he took office and became a member of the heroic class. Although Zhang Qi is dull, his talent is excellent. He started working at a young age and has dual professions. His primary and secondary professions are sumo wrestler and blacksmith. Although he is only at the first level, his attributes are much better than those of Zhao Ji.

Zhao Jin said: "I also think this place is the best. Bailiu Village is a bit remote after all, and most of the houses have earthen walls. In the past few days, I will go to Nanshi's house to decorate it, put up lanterns and colors, and write the red "Happy" message one day in advance. It’s done.”

After seeing Li, Bai Zhi and Jin Cuilian followed their mother Li E to the backyard, where Zhao Jin, Zhao Xiang, and Zhao Zhen started chatting in the hall.

Although Zhao Zhen had five or six points of wine, he was still sober after drinking the hangover soup. The three of them walked and stopped, eating all kinds of food, buying whatever they saw, and eating all the way. Waiting until dawn, the three of them returned to their residence to rest.

Zhao Jin said: "Erlang, in the past half month, we have made a date with the royal family. The twenty-eighth day of the eighth month of the lunar calendar is opposite to the chicken and evil spirits are in the west. It is [suitable] to marry, make an alliance, accept gifts, offer sacrifices, pray for blessings, and enter the house. You should also do it well." Be prepared and don’t miss the date and time.”

Zhao Xiang did not refuse and said: "This is the best. It saves me the money and buys it myself. After looking around, I couldn't find anything suitable. I asked someone to find out. These advanced weapons are not just sold. They have to be sold. People can only buy thousands of non-grade weapons. Most of the advanced weapons on display are defective or uncommon weapons. I also want to ask my boss to come forward and buy an advanced weapon. As for the Pu Daoli, if you get it from your brother, you won't have to ask for any favors. In this way, you can thank Erlang."

Zhao Zhen said: "It's my father's arrangement. Brother, you have to meet brothers Guo Kaiwen and Guo Kaiwu tonight at our restaurant. Brother, don't forget."

Zhao Xiang said: "Remember, didn't I say it last time? Erlang and I are already a senior now, so getting to know the two Guo brothers here doesn't count as our attachment."

Zhao Zhen said: "Father, brother, the house I have in Nanshi is the best. It covers more than two acres and is not shabby at all."

There was only one porter on duty in the courtyard, and the rest of the people went home to reunite. The three of them spoke to the concierge, held hands and went out.

Zhao Zhen sent everyone away, but did not go to rest, and returned to the main world with Bai Zhi and Jin Cuilian. The three of them showed off their figures in the house in Nanshi. This was the fantasy world that Zhao Zhen returned to from here specifically last time, just to bring the two of them to the main world to see the Mid-Autumn Festival.

But see:

Zhao Xiang said: "Erlang, where will you get married? You need to arrange the wedding room in advance. Don't improvise. It's most likely to make mistakes in panic."

When they arrive at a home where they are spreading mats, they also go up to the small platform to arrange family banquets and gather around their children to celebrate the festival. Although the poor people in the back alleys are drinking in the farmers' market, they are reluctant to welcome them, and they are not willing to waste their time. That night, people were selling and buying in the street, until the five drums were played, people were playing with the moon, and the mother-in-law was in the market, and the fire was endless.

On the second day, the three of them got up at noon. Bai Zhi and Jin Cuilian cooked some dishes, and the three of them sat around and ate them. Then he went out and hired a carriage to go to his father Zhao Jin.

Zhao Zhen said: "Since my brother has reached the second level, I also have a gift for my brother. I have a Hundred Refining Cuo Golden Sword in the fantasy world. I will stay there in a few days and bring it to my brother."

Zhao Zhen said: "Brother, are you at the second level now?"

Princes, grandsons, and wealthy families all climb dangerous towers, play under the moon in the pavilions, or open pavilions, prepare banquets, play harp and harp, drink wine and sing, to predict the joy of the evening.

Zhao Zhen said: "Father, don't worry, my son will take care of it."

The golden phoenix is ​​refreshing, the jade dew is cool, the fragrant osmanthus is floating, and the silver toad is full of light.

Zhao Xiang said: "I was promoted five days ago and promoted to chief three days ago."

They drank until midnight before everyone dispersed. Beside the school grounds, thirty or fifty small courtyards with one entrance were built for the temporary residence of heroes and stewards. Zhao Yuanli led everyone there and arranged their accommodation one by one.

Zhao Zhen said: "My brother, what's the big deal? In my fantasy world, there is now a hero with excellent blacksmith skills. He has also obtained some advanced iron and is now making weapons. If my brother has a career in the army, I will. We can also produce a few advanced weapons, but in addition to money, we also need some good iron."

After hearing this, Zhao Xiang nodded and said, "Erlang, I have written this down."

The three of them chatted for a long time. Not long after Zhao Xiang advanced, he couldn't help itching his hands, so the three of them went to the courtyard to compete. Although Zhao Zhen was only at the first level, he took a lot of spiritual objects and learned a lot of martial arts. His martial arts was higher than that of Zhao Xiang. Both of them used long sticks. At thirty, Zhao Zhen knocked the stick out of Zhao Xiang's hand.

Zhao Xiang was no slouch either. He pulled Zhao Zhen and competed with a plain knife again. Zhao Zhen was afraid of getting hurt, so the blade of the knife was wrapped in coarse cloth. It was another test, but Zhao Xiang was slightly better. Zhao Xiang laughed and said: "Erlang, the gun and stick are not as good as yours, but that's because I have only practiced swords recently."

Zhao Zhen also smiled and said: "My brother is also at the second level after all, so he should be stronger than me."

When they saw Youshi, the two brothers Zhao Zhen packed up, mounted their horses, and went to their fish farm. The two tied up their horses and entered the restaurant. They met Miao Erniang first.

Just listen to Miao Ying say: "Dalang, Erlang, the private room by the window has been reserved. In the Hongyun Hall on the second floor, the carp weighing a hundred catties is used for fish. One fish is also cooked for sixteen people. Erlang is used for wine." The [Huajia Baijiu] was delivered.”

Zhao Xiang said: "Thank you, Er Niang, for taking the trouble. Today's expenses will all be charged to me."

Miao Ying said: "It doesn't cost much. The fish and wine were all brought by Erlang. You just need to thank Erlang."

Zhao Zhen said: "Hey, it's worth doing your own business. Erniang, are the guests here?"

Miao Ying said: "Not yet, your brother will go up first. When the guests come, I will have someone lead them up."

At this time, Yuzhuang was busy. After hearing this, Zhao Zhen and his wife went to the second floor. There are seven or eight elegant rooms on the second floor, named after the halls, Tianshou Hall, Jinyu Hall, Caiman Hall, Xinglong Hall, Gaosheng Hall, Hongyun Hall... Zhao Zhen is in the sixth room.

As soon as the two of them sat down, the waiter brought melon seeds, peanuts, fruit snacks and other items. The two of them ate while waiting for brothers Lu Zhuocheng, Guo Kaiwen and Guo Kaiwu.

Lu Zhuocheng and Li Tianyou arrived first, and the four of them were chatting when the waiter ushered brothers Guo Kaiwen and Guo Kaiwu in. Everyone exchanged pleasantries again, and the six of them sat down together. Zhao Zhen said to the waiter: "Waiter, let's start the dishes."

The waiter responded and went downstairs. After a while, sixteen fish dishes were brought up one by one. Zhao Zhen poured wine for everyone and raised his glasses: "Brothers, this is my biological brother Zhao Xiang, who is also serving in the army. Today I have met several brothers, so that we can take care of each other in the army in the future."

Zhao Xiang also stood up, picked up his wine glass, and said: "We are all colleagues in the army and classmates of Erlang. I came here specifically to get to know you today. From now on, we will all be close brothers."

After everyone heard this, they also stood up and raised their glasses, and the six of them drank together. After three rounds of wine and five dishes, everyone was familiar with it. Lu Zhuocheng said: "Erlang, when will your wedding be held? It's better for you to prepare early."

Zhao Zhen said: "We have just decided on a date, the twenty-eighth of this month, at my house in Nanshi."

After hearing this, Li Tianyou said: "Zhao Erlang, your wedding is quite early, and the brothers haven't even gone on a blind date yet. Do we recognize the girl?"

Lu Zhuocheng said: "Brother of the Li family, you should be well-informed when you are in the palace. Brother Zhao Zhen is now the princess of Shang, with one wife and three concubines."

Li Tianyou said: "Damn it, Zhao Erlang, you are so lucky. You have four wives and concubines at such a young age? You are also a royal princess. This dowry will allow you to live a lifetime of food and clothing."

Before Zhao Zhen could speak, Lu Zhuocheng rushed to say: "What the hell, Zhao Erlang has already married two concubines. Besides, Zhao Erlang is now a rich man. The princess can like Erlang because of his management. good."

Guo Kaiwen and Guo Kaiwu asked together: "Zhao Erlang, when it comes to hard work, my two brothers have also been on the battlefield now. They have made military exploits when they newly joined the army. They are not rare in the entire army, and we are considered outstanding. , how come there is no noble daughter to get married? You are just a manor owner, why does Lu Sanlang say that your management is good? "

Zhao Zhen said: "Where did Lu Sanlang say that? My village belongs to Luliu Town, and Gao Hu, a descendant of the royal family, works here. We are similar in age, and we got to know each other from time to time. When he saw that I had never married, he introduced him to me. Sisters, after seeing each other, they decided they were suitable and were ready to get married."

After everyone heard this, they couldn't help but say with envy, Zhao Zhen was ordered to commit a crime. Several people agreed to go to Zhao Zhen's place to attend Zhao Zhen's wedding on August 28th.

Zhao Zhen thanked him, and everyone continued drinking and eating fish. Lu Zhuocheng said: "Zhao Erlang, where did this wine come from? I have never drunk it before. It is refreshing and refreshing, and it is the best way to relieve the heat."

The Zhao brothers also said: "That's true. After drinking it, your whole body will be clear."

Zhao Zhen said: "This is [Huajia Baijiu] brewed in my fantasy world. This is a small wine. It is white in color without steaming. It is similar to sake. It is also called raw wine. Raw wine is clearer than snow, and boiled wine is as red as blood. Xia Zhen said. It’s best to cool off in the sun.”

Everyone laughed after hearing this and chatted happily for a while. Lu Zhuocheng said: "Zhao Erlang, have you used the three weapons you just bought last time?"

Zhao Zhen said: "How can it be so easy to find? There is a powerful blacksmith in my fantasy world. So I can use these as materials to make several advanced weapons."

The three of them listened and said: "Zhao Erlang, if you have a suitable weapon, please remember us."

Zhao Zhen said: "It's easy to say that to make a weapon, you need good iron. If the brothers have advanced iron materials, they can also use it to replace it with a reliable weapon."

Guo Kaiwen said: "My brothers have a piece of meteorite in their hands. They will be sent to Erlang's home tomorrow."

Zhao Zhen nodded in agreement, and everyone chatted some more. At the time of Hai, the six people dispersed.
