After Murong Fu finished singing, it was already sunset, and the sound of a carriage came from outside the door again, but it was Azhu Abi who arrived in a four-wheeled carriage with Murong Fu's gift for Su Shi.The ancient books and scrolls that Murong Fu searched overseas were sent to the study room, boxes of jewelry, jade and silk were sent to the warehouse, and fresh sea fish covered with thick ice were sent to the kitchen.

Qin Guan stared dumbfounded at the wooden boxes moving in like water, and Su Shi's family all looked familiar, and couldn't help muttering: "No wonder the teacher said that although he was relegated to Huangzhou, he didn't suffer... Yea!"

Murong Fu who was standing beside him casually asked about Qin Guan's hometown as if nothing had happened.Qin Guan understood, and immediately reported his home address and house number.Without Murong Fu's order, Bao BuTong would send money and goods to his door, so as to relieve Qin Guan's worries.

Chen Zhen's attention was on the last few wooden boxes placed in the hall, which contained the pens, inks, papers, inkstones, porcelain, toys and other things that Murong Fu had collected from overseas countries.These gifts are novel in style and exquisite in workmanship, but in Murong Fu's words, they are worthless, and they are used for daily use by Su Shi and his family or as gifts.

Sure enough, Chen Zhen pulled out several long knives from those wooden boxes.Those long knives and their scabbards were made into walking sticks. Although the scabbards had complicated patterns, they were not eye-catching because of the black color.He drew the sword out of its sheath, but saw that the face of the sword was as cold as a mirror, and the blade was long and curved. It was a bit like a combination of the Japanese sword of later generations and the Xiuchun sword used by the Jinyiwei of the Ming Dynasty.Chen Zhen drew the saber in his hand, casually rolled a few knives, and immediately felt that it was good.The design of this knife conforms to the principles of human body mechanics, and the casting technology is far superior to the native skills of the Song Dynasty, so it is very light and convenient to handle. Compared with the saber he is usually used to, it looks bulky.He drew his sword in his hand again, and when the swords intersected, his saber broke in two without a sound. "Good! Good!" Chen Zhen praised twice, threw the broken sword aside casually, and raised his voice. "Who will test the knife with me?"

Su Shi's family, together with Qin Guan, are all scholars, so it is naturally impossible.Qiao Feng didn't wait for Murong Fu to speak, he said beforehand: "Your junior is not good at sword skills, let Murong do it!"

Chen Zhen raised his eyebrows in surprise when he heard the words, and asked with a little disdain: "A weak scholar, but he also knows knives?"

Murong Fu smiled lightly, and said loudly: "Uncle Chen, this junior has stayed overseas for two years. If he was just a scholar with no strength to restrain himself, his corpse would have sunk into the ocean long ago."

Chen Zhen's eyes lit up, and he said loudly, "Outside the courtyard, please!"

"Please!" Murong Fu held the knife in his hand and followed Chen Zhen out.

In the courtyard, Chen Zhen and Murong Fu stood facing each other.Chen Zhen is already holding a knife in his hand and posing. Although he was born in a family of officials, he has been good at martial arts since he was a child, and his family is rich enough to invite famous teachers.He has practiced hard for decades, let's not mention his martial arts for the time being, but just judging from his saber posture, he has quite a solid foundation and looks like a master.

On the opposite side of Chen Zhen, Murong Fu put the long saber in his hand at the level of his eyebrows, and slowly drew the saber out of its sheath.At that moment, his original relaxed expression was completely withdrawn, and his whole person's momentum sank.

Wu Changfeng, who was watching, suddenly sniffled and said in a low voice, "It's so murderous!"

Qiao Feng didn't speak, but frowned and silently looked at Murong Fu who was not far away, only hearing Murong Fu's respectful tone: "Seniors are orderly, Uncle Chen, please!"

Chen Zhen didn't answer, but the frivolous and disdainful expression on his face was gone, and his expression was much more dignified than before.

A moment later, a gust of wind blew off a little snow on the treetops in the courtyard.The flying snowflakes swirled in front of the eyes of the two, and scattered like rain and fog powder.Chen Zhen shouted loudly at this moment, and slashed towards Murong Fu with his saber.Murong Fu moved slightly and turned sideways, and immediately avoided the blowing knife.Chen Zhen's move failed, he immediately turned his wrist, changed it from chopping to chopping, and pushed towards Murong Fu's neck.Murong Fu took another step back, and the second knife was dangerously cut across his throat.Then, Chen Zhen followed up with three swords in a row. Those three moves were thunderous and full of momentum, and they swept away most of the dead branches in the courtyard in the blink of an eye.

Seeing that Chen Zhen was pressing on at every step like a mad tiger, but Murong Fu was always in a calm state of mind, and lightly dismissed his moves as if he was pulling a thousand catties.Even a standard weak scholar like Qin Guan could see his superiority, and only sighed in a low voice: "Ji Chang was trained by a famous teacher since he was a child, I can't imagine..."

Before he finished speaking, Wu Changfeng couldn't help sniggering, and only said in a low voice: "Young official, this famous teacher may not be famous in our Jianghu." .The reason is that the rivers and lakes and the officialdom have always been well watered.In the Song Dynasty, literature was valued over martial arts. Who would be willing to become a teacher for an official after a hero who could really make his mark in the rivers and lakes?The so-called famous teachers are nothing more than defrauding those literati who learn three tricks and two styles to decorate their appearance.The real rivers and lakes, I'm afraid they haven't even touched the edge.

While the two were talking, Chen Zhen had already made ten moves, but he didn't even touch a single strand of Murong Fu's hair.After the ten moves, Murong Fu was bored, he raised the scabbard casually in his hand, and immediately poked the "Liangqiu point" on Chen Zhen's knee.Chen Zhen only felt a numbness in his right knee, and instantly lost his balance and half knelt on the ground.Before he could react, Murong Fu flipped his right hand, and the long knife in his hand was already placed around his neck.These two moves were extremely fast, and before Chen Zhen could see his move clearly, the winner had already been decided.

"Chen Shishu, my sword technique is for killing people. And the knife technique for killing people has never been practiced. Let me go!" Murong Fu looked at Chen Zhen's blue and white face and explained softly. sheath.

The killing knife technique is naturally killed from the mountain of corpses and the sea of ​​blood.Qiao Feng sighed faintly, this time he saw Murong Fu goodbye and already noticed the change in his temperament, is it not just as simple as growing taller and growing up?I heard that the sea has always been dangerous, and pirates are even more ruthless. Brother Murong Xian can come back safely and save a huge family business. The boy who would vomit because of the first murder many years ago has disappeared.

Qiao Feng was meditating, but Murong Fu suddenly turned around, pointed the long knife in his hand, and said with a smile: "Brother Qiao, I have always admired the Beggar Gang's 36-way Dog Beating Stick!"

As soon as Murong Fu said this, the court fell silent.After a while, everyone burst into applause again, obviously because watching the excitement is not a big deal.

After Murong Fu left for two years, Qiao Feng made a lot of contributions in the Beggar Gang, he has already learned half of the 36-way dog-beating-stick method.Hearing Murong Fu's invitation to fight by name, Qiao Feng naturally would not refuse, he took the green bamboo stick from Jiang Changyun and went forward to meet him.

The fight between Bei Qiaofeng and Nan Murong is obviously a far cry from Cai Murong's playing with Chen Zhen just now.I saw the long knife in Murong Fu's hand pointing steadily at Qiao Feng's brow, the whole body together with the knife in his hand was like a sharp arrow ready to go.And Qiao Feng stood majestically, with the green bamboo stick in his hand pointing obliquely at the ground, like a pine tree or a mountain.

The two of them were so powerful that they overwhelmed the audience with just a few words, and everyone dared not even take a breath.Until this time, Chen Zhen finally sighed slightly, and said sadly: "So I have been that frog in the well for decades."

Seeing Chen Zhen's sluggish expression, Jiang Changyun persuaded him: "Chen Guanren, with your current martial arts, you can be regarded as a second-rate master in the Jianghu. There are only a handful of such masters, how can it be so easy?"

Jiang Changyun originally had good intentions, but Chen Zhen spent half his life as a wanderer and was used to being praised by those low-level helpers. Jiang Changyun's words not only gave him no comfort, but made him feel uncomfortable.After holding back for a long time, Fang squeezed out a sentence full of jealousy: "In this way, Qiao Feng can be regarded as one of the best masters in the Jianghu?"

Jiang Changyun smiled slightly, and said repeatedly: "Don't dare to be! Don't dare to be!" Just looking at his complacent expression, it is obvious that the meaning behind his words is "well deserved! well deserved!"

Unconsciously, Chen Zhen was blocked again, so he simply shut his mouth and turned his head to look back into the arena.

The atmosphere on the field was still dull and chilling, and there was no sound of needles being heard.However, as time passed by, Qiao Feng and Murong Fu only looked at each other, like two stone statues, neither moved.

Qin looked weird and couldn't help asking in a low voice: "What are they waiting for?"

"Timing!" Jiang Changyun replied, "Brother Qiao's martial arts, there are not many opponents in the world. Your junior brother is one of them. The contest between real masters is not only about martial arts, but also Will, stamina, vision..."

Before Jiang Changyun could finish speaking, Wang Runzhi suddenly came over and raised his voice, "It's time to eat, why are you just standing there?"

With just one sound, Murong recovered the knife, Qiao Feng also turned around and threw the green bamboo stick back to Jiang Changyun.The two looked at each other and smiled, and walked towards the dining room together.

Seeing this, Jiang Changyun barely bit his tongue, hurriedly grabbed Qiao Feng and stammered, "Qiao...Brother Qiao?"

"The emperor eats!" Qiao Feng responded casually, leaving Jiang Changyun behind and quickly catching up with Murong Fu.

Murong Fu said he was going to make some new dishes, and he did what he said, even though he was not the one who did it.But it was also because he didn't do it himself that made the banquet more perfect.One of the two appetizers is the popular fish cake in the Song Dynasty, which is later called Japanese-style sashimi. As for the reason why the domestic fish cake has been lost, everyone must understand.Fish sticks are not new, but what is rare is that the sea fish used to make fish sticks are caught from the sea and put on a plate for everyone to enjoy. It is less than twelve hours in total, so they are the freshest.The sauce used to eat fish meat is not the common salt and soy sauce in the Song Dynasty, but the green mustard that Murong Fu brought back from Japan on a special trip.The other dish is a cold dish that is currently in season. The raw materials are very common, but the sesame oil used is made by Murong Fu’s special pressing tool. It is more refreshing and brighter in color than the popular sesame oil today; He offered a huge reward to the Arabs who came here to do business to bring them here.

Several hot dishes are Dongpo pork, squirrel mandarin fish, oily beef, abalone in honey sauce, Liangxi crispy eel, mapo tofu and Longjing shrimp, and the final main course is the famous Peking duck.In the Song Dynasty, cooking was still mostly stewing, and since Murong Fu pressed the sesame oil, he naturally did not forget the peanut oil, so he introduced the cooking technique.The wine served with the meal is Moutai brewed by Murong Fu who sent people to Guizhou to fetch water, and the after-dinner tea is Mingqian Longjing.

Chen Zhen, who was full of wine and food, kept shouting happily, saying that he only knew the taste of eating today, and wished he could snatch Murong Fu back home.Unexpectedly, the head chef, Chef Zheng, was very arrogant. After hearing this, he immediately dismantled his boss, and said in a cold voice: "My son is born to be a master, and he has always been good at eating but not cooking. If Chen Guanren wants to grab People, don't forget the villain, so as not to smash the signboard of 'Jinlin Building'!"

When Chef Zheng said this, everyone burst into laughter.Murong Fu was originally the most sensitive to such words, but now he is also slightly drunk, he just laughed foolishly, and said softly with an obsessive and intoxicated expression: "Counting romantic people, but looking at the present! It's a pity that I forgot to ask someone to draw A picture of Su Zi looking at the night banquet is easy to spread..." Before he finished speaking, he fell into a deep sleep.

The next day, Su Shi's birthday banquet was held as usual.Although Su Shi's official position is low now, but after all, his literary fame is extremely prosperous, and he is the first-class romantic figure in the eyes of the world.He was going to hold a birthday banquet, and almost all the civil and military officials in Ruzhou City attended to prove that he was equally elegant.The Kunqu Opera "The Peony Pavilion" and Huaiyang cuisine carefully arranged by Murong Fu at the birthday banquet are enough for them to tell their children and grandchildren anecdotally.

During the birthday banquet, Su Shi pulled Qin Guan and Murong Fu and was busy introducing them to people in the officialdom, laying a good foundation for future communication.Murong Fu didn't have much interest in these civil and military officials who didn't leave a single word in history, but those civil and military officials flocked to him.In the past two years, although Murong Fu said he went to sea, Bao BuTong had already been instructed by Murong Fu, and he took good care of Su Shi's family, and together with Su Shi's colleagues in the officialdom, he also received a lot of red envelopes.Everyone saw that although Su Shi was demoted, his daily life was still comfortable and luxurious, and he even had spare money to take care of relatives and friends. Who wouldn't envy him for taking in a good apprentice.Now that the real lord has appeared, the people who are soft on money naturally want to make friends with Murong Fu.

Although Murong Fu had never been in the officialdom, he was already familiar with this set in the officialdom, but he was really impatient when people saw Qin Guan and praised him as "a romantic talent, excellent in both poetry and prose", but when they saw him, they said, "A plethora of pearls and jades, Immortals turned into people", as if he was a fool with no appearance.

Murong Fu was choked twice, but he couldn't take it anymore, so he simply hid aside to have a drink with Qiao Feng.Qiao Feng saw that he was drinking like a cow with an angry expression, and when he was half drunk, his eyes became brighter like black pearls soaked in water, he couldn't help but sigh to himself: You look like this, it's hard for others to think of complimenting you for a while when they see you!

As soon as this sigh came from his heart, Qiao Feng secretly felt ashamed again, he hadn't considered his friend's taboos, instead he was rather gloating.He gathered his mind at the moment, and was about to prepare a few words of persuasion.Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, he saw Murong Fu resting his chin on one hand, staring at Su Shi in the crowd with admiration and fascination.After a while, I saw him hiccup, and said leisurely and fascinated: "Teacher is indeed a teacher... I can actually let the teacher crown me..."

Qiao Feng was speechless for a moment and helplessly helped his forehead. At this moment, he suddenly wanted to push Murong Fu into the water tank outside the courtyard.

After the birthday banquet, Su Shi crowned Murong Fu and took the word "Mingshi".The bright one is bright; the stone one is firm.Su Shi chose the word "Ming Shi" for Murong Fu in the hope that he would be upright and unwavering in his actions in the future, which obviously had high hopes for him.

So far, Murong Fu has finally come of age.

The author has something to say: Note: Su Shi's father, Su Xun, is named Mingyun.Therefore, in theory, Su Shi would not choose the word "Ming Shi" for Murong.However, the director just felt that "Akashi" was suitable for Murong, what should I do?Let's pretend we don't know! O(∩_∩)O~

Director: Daxia Xiao, what do you think?

Qiao Feng: Idiot fans...
