Great Yan Dynasty

Chapter 26 Hospitality

When the two were going down the mountain, they encountered the scene when they were going up the mountain again. Li Zheng ignored these idiots and went straight to the foot of the mountain. The driver was still waiting and did not leave.

He got into the carriage and told him to wait until the Feng family went down the mountain, then told him to follow the carriages in front of him far away, and left the boundary of Qingshanguan.

Tian Town, in the southeast of Qing'an City, is more than 200 miles away from Qingshan Temple, not too far away.

After they passed the main road, they started to enter the small road and passed a few hills. The three of them followed the Feng family in the distance to Tian Town.

On the road, I met many farmers working on the ridges of the fields, all of them were yellow and thin, wearing short-sleeved linen, and some farmers were in tatters and had no money to buy new clothes. , The rotten place has also been patched.

Before his predecessor, he had never been to this kind of place. Li Zheng thought that the impoverished areas in the city were poor. When he went to the countryside, he saw how these people were dressed and dressed. Long-term malnutrition, starving like that.

The two groups of people arrived at their destination. There was no protective wall, and a stone-soil road several meters wide extended to the entrance of the town. Fortunately, it didn't rain today and there was no mud on the road, otherwise, it would be slippery immediately.

The carriage entered Tianzhen, there was no guard at the gate of the town, only some farmers in the town went home with hoes on their shoulders, their wives had already cooked meals at home, and were waiting for their working husbands to come home for dinner.

He found an inn to rest, asked the groom for a room and food, and asked Zhu Ba to inquire about Feng's family, while Li Zheng himself sat on the bed in the inn, meditating and practicing.

The Feng family is one of the largest landlords in Tianzhen, with countless fields under their name. There are dozens of maids and servants in the family, and more than ten guards who practice martial arts. There are also some farmers who often come to Feng's family to do long-term work.

The Feng Family Courtyard is surrounded by a wall made of yellow bricks, and there are dozens of double-storey houses on the side, all of which are made of bricks and wood, forming a semi-circular shape and enclosing the courtyard. These are the residences of servants.

There are more than a dozen single-story rooms in the middle, which are the owner's residence and guest rooms. The decoration is more luxurious than the houses in the outer circle, and they are all painted with red paint.

In the middle, there is a huge open space, and there are a few big trees in it, which provide shade for the Feng family on weekdays.

This afternoon, under the big tree, there was a big round table with six high chairs around it. The master of the Feng family was entertaining a few people from the Qingshan Temple. There was a big tree for shade and a cool breeze to greet the guests. , the most appropriate.

There were six people sitting at the table, besides the Immortal Master and Patriarch Feng, there were four old men beside them, around sixty, with their hair tied up on their heads, some white silk, all wearing gray clothes, with a handle hanging from their waists. long sword.

On the round table, all kinds of rare wines and delicacies have been placed. The six people are eating and chatting, and there are more than a dozen servants standing side by side on both sides, waiting for the master to call.

The courtyard is gone, everyone is dressed in clean and tidy clothes, neatly dressed, and there is no beard on their faces, unlike those shown on TV, either big bearded men or bearded old men,
This world has no requirements for hair and beard, whether it is bald, short hair, or long hair, no one cares.

Others don't know how to cut their hair, so it looks strange, but the beard, which almost grows out, will be shaved off the next day, regardless of age.

They all think that this is the most basic etiquette, unless they are too busy, or they are too busy to get away, they will have a little beard.

Of course, there are also different types, so Zhao Xiong is, but he died a miserable death.

The six chatted for a while, the middle-aged scribe suddenly put down his wine glass, looked up at Patriarch Feng, and asked suspiciously.

"Master Feng, have you offended someone? Why is there a warrior who keeps poking around at your door?"

After hearing this, Patriarch Feng looked outside the courtyard, but found no one.

"Master Huixian, although my Feng family is rich, I have never done anything harmful to the world."

-

"That's it, Qingfeng, go and invite that martial artist in, he's almost at the mid-term stage of Kung Fu, maybe he can help tonight." Hong Qing rubbed his chin, thought for a while, and said softly.

"Yes, Guanzhu." The old man in gray on the left got up, went out of the courtyard, and caught Zhu Ba who was still poking around.Since he started peeking, he was discovered by Na Hongqing.

"Who are you?" Qingfeng glared angrily at the peeping person, and was about to draw his sword to cut him down.

Zhu Ba also looked at the old man in front of him. The other party gave him a great oppressive force. Seeing that he was about to draw his sword, he was startled, and quickly cupped his hands and said:

"This old gentleman, I saw that the Feng family seemed to be visited by a nobleman, so I looked at it curiously at the door, and had no other intentions."

After I finished speaking nervously, I was about to slip away.

"Then you come in together and explain clearly to Patriarch Feng." Qingfeng's voice was not loud, but there was no doubt about it.

Followed him obediently, arrived at Feng's courtyard, looked around the situation inside, Zhu Ba thought of a way to escape.

"This strong man, my lord Feng Dequan, why are you spying on me at the door of Feng's house?"

Seeing a simple and honest man approaching, Feng Dequan walked up to him, announced his family name, saluted,
Then he looked up and down, with his naked eyes, he couldn't see any difference between this black-faced man, he only felt that he was a little taller than himself, stronger than his own guard, and about the same age as his son.

It may be that he has suffered a lot from practicing martial arts. He wears short sleeves of warriors, revealing the scars on his arms. His palms and fingers are full of calluses, and there are also some scars on his face, which makes him look much older.

"I don't know him at all! Why did you visit my Feng's house?"

"Master Feng, my lord Zhu Ba, I saw that you have a distinguished visitor from Feng's family, I just want to take a look and have no other intentions." The warrior returned a salute,
He also looked at Patriarch Feng in front of him, who was wearing a crimson embroidered robe and was a little fat.He has a small belly and a shrewd look on his honest face.

Then he glanced at the five Qingshanguan people sitting beside him.I feel that the scribe is like a scholar, his clothes are simple, and he doesn't have the slightest appearance of martial arts, but there is a pressure, if there is any, it is coming from him.

And the four old men are all about sixty or so.Dressed in gray, with a strong figure, he stared at himself, bringing a great sense of oppression.

-

"Zhu Zhuangshi, please stay and have some food and drink. Tonight, something happened in my Feng's family. If you stay to help, my Feng family will definitely send it to you." Thinking of the words of the immortal master, Master Feng sent out an invitation.

Zhu Ba looked at a table full of good food and wine, all of which were meat and meat. He hadn't had lunch yet, looking at the food and wine, swallowed his saliva, suppressed his appetite, and stopped looking at the table.

"I still have something to deal with at home next time, so don't bother me." He quickly waved his hand. He came here to inquire about news, not to eat or drink.

"Zhu Zhuangshi, please stay and help." Seeing that he did not agree, Hong Qing opened his mouth slightly, and his voice was not loud, but it made the warrior's breathing stagnate, feeling like a mountain was pressing on him.

"At the next house..." Zhu Ba Bi's face was flushed, and he wanted to refuse.

Several old men next to him, seeing the spectator's words, the martial artist didn't know what to do, they all looked furious, stood up, grabbed the scabbard around their waists, and were about to draw out their long swords.

"There is nothing important in the next family." Zhu Ba quickly changed his tone, and the pressure on his body suddenly eased.

Several old men also loosened their swords, sat down and glared at the black-faced warrior.

"Come here, give Zhu Zhuangshi a seat!" Feng Quande shouted.

After a while, the servants brought the high chair, Zhu Ba took it, and sat down beside Immortal Master Hongqing, feeling bitter in his heart, he hadn't returned to report the news yet, wondering if the young master would come to find him.

"Bold and rude," the four old men next to him yelled again.

"What! Can't you sit here?"

"Then Zhu will leave!"

There is no end to it, just to get rid of the flash.

"It doesn't matter, just let Zhu Zhuangshi sit next to me," Hong Qing smoothed things over.

They didn't say anything when they heard the Master's words, but they still stared at this ignorant martial artist.

Feng Quande and his servants around wiped off the cold sweat for this warrior, you must not fight with the immortal master, or your life will be in danger.

-

"Young Master asked me, Xiao Zhu, to inquire about the news. Could it be that he came here for these people? They forced him to stay here, what should we do?

This Hongqing looks similar to the young master, he is also modest and polite, like a scholar, but just with that pressure, he is a great master.



"I would like to offer a toast to all of you"

Correcting his mentality, Zhu Ba picked up the wine glass, ignoring the angry old men, and drank it all in one gulp.

"I also offer Zhu Zhuang a cup." Hong Qing smiled slightly and drank it in one gulp. The four old men had no choice but to follow suit.

The tense atmosphere dissipated, and the Feng family next to them breathed a sigh of relief.After a sip of wine, everyone started chatting.

After a while, the young master of the Feng family woke up, was helped by his servants to several people, and saluted.

The complexion on Young Master Feng's face seemed to be much better, but the eye sockets were still dark, as if he hadn't slept for several days and nights.

Afterwards, Hong Qing started to ask him the whole story, and everyone knew the whole story. It turned out that he was in the brothel in the town last night, drank flower wine, and then went out by himself after getting drunk.

I just remember urinating in an old cemetery, and then went home in a daze.

Not far from the door of the house, he lay down on the ground and fell asleep.But in the brothel, the servant couldn't find anyone, so he hurried back to look for the master, and when he saw the young master sleeping on the ground, he hugged him back.

According to Hong Qing's guess, he woke up the ghost in the old grave by urinating, and then followed him. Now he doesn't know where to hide during the day, and he will definitely come at night.

But the initial Yin ghost, Yin Qi so heavy?The immortal master had some doubts in his heart.

Listening, Zhu Ba broke into a cold sweat, how can I participate in this kind of thing, I want to leave but I can’t, there are five people around Qingshan Guan, who obviously want to catch a strong man, I pray in my heart, the son-in-law will come and rescue Xiao Zhu.

"Father, who are these?" Several people were chatting, and a beautiful young girl walked up to everyone. It was Miss Feng's daughter. She heard from her mother that a big man came to the house and came out to pay a visit.

"Don't be rude, this is Immortal Master Hongqing, these are his four protectors, and these are Zhu Ba Zhuang." Father Feng scolded and introduced him.



"I've seen the immortal master, I've seen the four protectors and the strong man Zhu." Feng Yan bowed slightly, and greeted her with a lady's salute.

Several people glanced at the daughter of the Feng family, about eighteen or nineteen, standing next to the head of the Feng family, slightly shorter than him, dressed in yellow fir, with tender skin on her face that could be squeezed out of water, under the long and curled eyelashes , a pair of watery eyes, as if they could speak, looked at everyone.

"Master Immortal, this is the little girl Feng Yan. She is nineteen years old and has a nickname. She is the number one beauty in Tianzhen. She has no engagement."

Master Feng introduced his daughter with a look of complacency, and at the same time looked at Hong Qing, as if intending to say that there was no engagement.

"Hehe, this seat is seventy-six this year." Hong Qing smiled slightly.

76? ?Zhu Ba and Feng's family were taken aback. Why did they only look around forty?Immortal Master is really extraordinary

After Feng Yan said hello to several people present, she walked gracefully and left. Women are not suitable for greeting guests, especially those who have not left the court.
