Jianghu are all masters

52.

Apart from watching the excitement, Zhang Xiaoyuan also had another important purpose for visiting the temple fair this time.

He will live in Fengji County in the future, so he must find out what is delicious at the foot of the mountain!

There are not a few shops selling pastries and snacks in Fengji County. If you eat them one by one, you don’t know when you will eat them. At least Zhang Xiaoyuan doesn’t have so much time to try them today, and he doesn’t have such a big stomach to hold them all. s things.

He chose a shop that was pleasing to the eye on the street. There were many people on the street today, and he couldn't stand for a long time, so he had to ask his elder brother to buy candied fruit. Or the parents with their children, only Lu Zhaoming crowded among them, holding a sword in his hand, with a cold face, no matter what, he was different from those around him.

The aunt on his right tiptoed and leaned back desperately trying to stay away from him, and the little baby on the left was also biting candied haws and looked at him in a daze, not daring to speak. Lu Zhaoming noticed the child's gaze, and he Looking sideways at the little baby, his expression was cold and indifferent, so frightened that the little baby backed away and bumped into his mother.

Zhang Xiaoyuan couldn't laugh or cry.

He discovered that senior brother really doesn't like to laugh.

To put it in a good way, it is a serious and serious person, which makes people feel reliable at first sight, but if it is not good to say, it is a good-looking, vicious and cold-faced Yan Luo, who suffers no matter what he does.

He turned his eyes, and turned from the shop selling candied fruit to another small shop on the side—the bamboo racks at the door were mostly decorative objects such as weaving necklaces, and there seemed to be jade pendants and various accessories in the shop. Zhang Xiaoyuan was curious. , and said hello to the elder brother, then slipped into the shop.

The jade ornaments in the shop are average. Zhang Xiaoyuan followed his father in the shop since he was a child, and he also knew many friends in his father's business. He knows a little bit about jade and antiques, and he also knows the way to buy and sell in these small shops.

He took a fancy to a small piece of carved sapphire, and the quality was only average, but when he looked closely, it seemed to be a cat. This kind of pattern was rare and interesting, so he weighed it lightly in his hand. Weighing, the quality of this jade doesn't look fragile, Zhang Xiaoyuan was about to ask the shop assistant behind him the price of the sapphire, when he turned around, he saw a line floating above the shopkeeper's head——

"Purchase price: three taels of silver"

The shopkeeper: "The guest officer has really good eyesight! This is the treasure of our store, the little old man sees you with a kind face, so how about it, 100 taels of silver!"

Zhang Xiaoyuan: "..."

The words "purchase price" were turned upside down and replaced with another line.

"Famous small black shop in Fengji County."

Zhang Xiaoyuan: "..."

Zhang Xiaoyuan took a deep breath.

Zhang Xiaoyuan: "This product is at most five taels of silver, no more."

The shopkeeper gave a meal, and said with a sneer: "Little brother, the price has been cut quite hard. Look at this craftsmanship, no matter how you say it, it is worth 50 taels."

Zhang Xiaoyuan also really looked at the so-called craftsmanship, it was a bit rough, and it would take a long time for a skilled hand to carve it. He knew that he was open for business, and he had to leave some money for others, so he changed his words and said: " Five and a half."

The shopkeeper would say again: "Little brother, how about this? I think you are a martial artist, and your sword is missing a fringe. I will give you another fringe, and I will put it on for you. It will be twelve taels in total. How about it?" ?”

Zhang Xiaoyuan: "Six taels."

The shopkeeper looked embarrassed.

Zhang Xiaoyuan: "That's still five taels."

He reversed the price again, and the shopkeeper was also in a hurry, thinking that every penny he could earn was a penny, so he gritted his teeth and agreed: "Five taels is five taels—"

Zhang Xiaoyuan smiled at him: "Then trouble the shopkeeper to bring the sword tassels that the shopkeeper gave you, I want to string this jade pendant on the sword tassels as well."

Shopkeeper: "..."

53.

Zhang Xiaoyuan walked out of the shop with Jiansui in his hand, feeling quite good for a moment.

It just so happened that Lu Zhaoming had bought candied fruit and was walking outside the store when Zhang Xiaoyuan pulled his arm and said happily, "Brother, I have something for you!"

Lu Zhaoming was a little puzzled: "Give me something?"

Zhang Xiaoyuan took out the fringe of the sword, and said: "I just fell in love with a jade pendant, and I asked the shop assistant to string it on the fringe for me, I see that your sword fringe has faded, senior brother—"

Speaking of this, Fang Fang felt that it seemed a bit abrupt for him to give a gift.

In the past, when he was still at home, he would like to buy some interesting little things and give them back to his relatives and friends, even the servants and servants at home.This is a prodigal, but his mother has never restricted his expenses, and he rarely buys any expensive things, at most small items of a few taels of silver. Go ahead.

When he saw the jade pendant today, he was asking casually, but he didn't expect the shopkeeper to mention the sword tassel, and he thought of his senior brother's tattered sword.

The master still wants to take in apprentices, the senior brother is carrying such a broken sword, it is too much to ruin the image of the master, the senior brother also likes to throw the sword, not stable enough, not like a senior brother, throwing it will still provoke the master Sad, if the sapphire is on the sword tassel, the sword is fragile when thrown, maybe the senior brother will correct it!

He had forgotten that he had not known Eldest Senior Brother for long, and he was not a servant who knew his temperament well. It seemed a bit strange that he suddenly gave Senior Senior Brother a gift.

Lu Zhaoming had already taken the spike of the sword, frowned slightly, and asked, "Did you buy it?"

Zhang Xiaoyuan nodded: "Yes... a small gift, only worth five taels of silver, not expensive!"

Lu Zhaoming paused: "Five taels?"

Zhang Xiaoyuan: "..."

It’s over.

How did he forget.

Five taels of silver is really not a lot of money to him, the jade pendant on his waist is worth 300 taels of silver, this sword tassel of the senior brother is just a small object for him to play with, but to the master——

Five taels of silver, that... that's enough rice for two years.

Zhang Xiaoyuan looked at Lu Zhaoming's frowned and hesitant expression, and racked his brains to figure out how to get the senior brother to accept the spike. He cautiously said to the senior senior brother, "Senior senior brother, your sword looks so broken...it's very difficult for the master to accept it. Christian."

Lu Zhaoming was stunned: "Affect the master's acceptance of disciples?"

"That's right, when people look at your sword, they think that our sect is miserable and poor, we can't afford rice, we can't afford to eat, and even the sword we use is so broken, how can anyone be willing to join us!" Zhang Xiaoyuan bite the bullet and went The next said, "If you change to a better sword spike, even if the scabbard is a little bit broken, they will only feel... er... feel that this martial art has a long history! This sword looks like it has been passed down for hundreds of years in the sect and has been passed down for generations. treasures!"

Lu Zhaoming: "...There is some truth."

Zhang Xiaoyuan: "If you wear this sword tassel, I think there will be many people coming to the master to learn from the next martial arts conference!"

Lu Zhaoming hesitated for a moment, and really started to untie the tattered and faded tassel on the sword.

Zhang Xiaoyuan once again admired his ability to make up nonsense.

"Senior Brother, jade is fragile, so don't throw your sword around." Zhang Xiaoyuan also whispered, "You will be sad if you lose Master."

Lu Zhaoming was about to speak, when suddenly he heard someone beside the road startled and said, "Isn't that the bridegroom officer that day?"

Lu Zhaoming: "..."

Zhang Xiaoyuan: "..."

The man said again: "I see how the young man next to him looks so much like... Oh! I understand! It's more convenient to go out like this!"

He and his friend had a meaningful look on their faces.

……

Zhang Xiaoyuan felt that the two of them must have misunderstood.

He was hesitating whether to leave here or to explain quickly, when he suddenly heard someone shouting his name in the crowd, Wen Tingting took Pidun and waved happily to them, and Pidun took two steps to run towards Lu Zhaoming, which can be regarded as having completed it A wish to lick your face.

The expressions of the two people beside the road became more meaningful.

"Sure enough, it's the groom!" The man exclaimed in amazement, "This dog... hasn't been eaten yet?"

"Young people have a lot of kidney qi, so they don't need dog meat to make up for it." The other person laughed, "But husband and wife have a deep love, so they need to make up for it. I think it's not too late to keep this dog for a few years."

Zhang Xiaoyuan: "..."

Lu Zhaoming: "..."

Wen Tingting: "..."

Pi Dun turned his head aggressively and bared his sharp canine teeth at the two of them.

54.

The passers-by with a broken mouth fled, but the three of them stood motionless, the atmosphere was weird, and no one spoke for a while.

After a long while, Pidun got close to Lu Zhaoming's feet again, rubbed against his legs, and kept wagging his thick and big tail.

Wen Tingting pulled the rope and pulled the butt a little farther away.

She looked very nervous, and Zhang Xiaoyuan vaguely felt... Maybe what she was thinking was not a good thing.

Wen Tingting has always been very easy to read, Zhang Xiaoyuan stared at the top of her head, and after a while, he saw a few lines of characters strung out of the top of her head.

"There is no doctor in the county to treat dog legs! Asshole! Come back!"

"Stay away from that hard-fated lone star!"

Zhang Xiaoyuan: "..."

……

Zhang Xiaoyuan felt that this misunderstanding was huge.

If the senior brother is really hard-fated, these few days he has stayed with the senior brother almost from morning to night, probably he should have been restrained to death by the senior senior brother long ago.

He frowned, thinking about how to explain to Wen Tingting.

"Wen Butou." Zhang Xiaoyuan said hesitantly, "I think this matter...may be a bit of a misunderstanding."

Wen Tingting: "Misunderstanding?"

Lu Zhaoming was still fiddling with the old fringe on his sword. This fringe was entangled by his master at the beginning, and it was very hard to untangle it. Wen Tingting talked.

"My senior brother is not what you think..." He paused, feeling that Lu Zhaoming was still on the sidelines, and it was obviously not good for him to mention the word "fate hard", so he changed his words and said, "It's just a coincidence."

Wen Tingting repeated again: "Coincidence?"

Lu Zhaoming finally untied the spike of the sword, but he made a mistake and the spike dropped from his hand. He let out a soft "ah" and squatted down to pick it up.

The little boy outside the candied fruit shop was playing with a slingshot and hitting the wall with a slingshot. The force he used was too great. The stone collapsed on the wall and shot towards them. Zhaoming raised his head and hit Wen Tingting.

Wen Tingting quickly lifted the knife and flicked the stone away, watched the stone hit the ground and rolled away, then turned his head stiffly to look at Zhang Xiaoyuan, with a horrified expression on his face: "Coincidental coincidence?!"

Zhang Xiaoyuan: "..."

Lu Zhaoming: "?"

It's over, I really can't wash it off.
