Zhu Manzhi checked and made sure Xu Buling was fine, but was still a little confused:

"Why didn't I hit you...Did my dad say anything to you?"

Xu Buling was a little helpless and said seriously: "I told you that you have spoken well of me and asked me to take good care of you in the future. I will arrange the marriage when I return to Suzhou and give him a grandchild as soon as possible."

! !

Zhu Manzhi's face instantly turned red, and he shook his head quickly, not believing it at all:

"Impossible, my father loves me very much, and no matter what happens, if my mother doesn't agree, she will definitely not dare to marry me off... Even if I get married, it may be so casual, and I have to tell me in advance... Mr. Xu, you must be bluffing me, I won’t be fooled..."

Xu Buling pushed the sword box in front of Zhu Manzhi and said seriously:

"My little Manzhi is so smart, how could he lie to you. I called your father father-in-law, and your father acquiesced and drank the toast. This is the betrothal gift for the Zhu family. Your father asked me to bring it to you."

"I don't believe it..."

Zhu Manzhi still shook his head: "My father is a contemporary swordsman. Marrying a girl will not be so casual. I haven't agreed yet..." As he spoke, he focused his eyes on the sword box in front of him, slid it open, and revealed the sword box on the The long sword in the brocade cloth has a simple yet majestic shape. Before it is taken out of the sheath, you can feel the weight accumulated over time and the edge of the sword itself.

Zhu Manzhi's messy thoughts suddenly dissipated. With bright eyes, he picked up the sword in the box and looked at it:

"What a beautiful sword, what's its name?"

"Zhanlu, forged by famous craftsmen in the Spring and Autumn Period, is the first of the five unparalleled swords in the world. It is bigger than the sword in my hand. It was originally the treasure of the Cao family in Junshan. The Cao family has withdrawn from the world and is no longer worthy of holding this sword. Yesterday Send it to me tonight."

! ! !

Zhu Manzhi was a little frightened, so he quickly put the sword back and said weakly: "I think I heard it from the storyteller... This is too big..."

Xu Buling curled up his lips: "Do you want it?"

"..."

Zhu Manzhi showed a bit of squirming, obviously feeling that the weight was too heavy, and her father could still hold it. But this kind of famous sword, which is famous in the world, is too tempting for Manzhi, who has been listening to books all year round. After hesitating for a long time, he said shyly:

"This...this is so embarrassing..."

Xu Buling sighed: "It doesn't matter if you don't like it, I just gave it to Xiao Ning..."

"no!"

Zhu Manzhi suddenly became anxious. She had met Xu Buling first. Her sisters were settling accounts. How could she let this happen? She quickly held the sword box in her arms and said nervously:

"Xiao Ning has his own sword, but there are too many to use... I also learn swordsmanship, but I haven't found a suitable one... You can learn kung fu, and you will be able to use it sooner or later... Thank you, Mr. Xu."

Xu Buling nodded with eyes full: "This is a betrothal gift. I wish you, girl, think carefully about it. If you accept it, you won't be able to regret it."

Zhu Manzhi's face froze, and he hugged the sword box and refused to let go, but he didn't know how to respond.

Xu Buring shook his head and raised his hand to take the sword box over: "Let's give it to Xiao Ning, she will definitely agree..."

"No, no, I just promise...it's obviously a gift to me..."

Zhu Manzhi was a little embarrassed. He held the sword box and muttered a few words, then stopped talking.

Xu Buring looked at his wife who had not yet passed the wedding, raised his hand and pinched her cheek, then continued eating the buns.

Zhu Manzhi had already eaten enough and was holding the sword box like a baby. He recalled the conversation with Ning Qingye just now and asked again:

"Mr. Xu, just now Qingye said that when you were in Chang'an, you treated her, um... just took advantage of her. Is it true?"

Xu Buling raised his eyes and glanced at her: "What? You've learned to be jealous before you even get married?"

Zhu Manzhi's face turned red and she was a little embarrassed: "How could it be possible? I'm curious, I'm not Mrs. Lu..."

"???"

"whee……"

Zhu Manzhi lowered his head weakly, thought for a moment, took out a few copper coins, put them on the table, and ran away quickly...

It was peaceful and quiet on the building ship, and the maids and guards began to pack up and prepare to set sail for the next stop.

Mrs. Lu has not yet recovered from what happened the night before. She is hiding in the house without leaving the door. She has been staying out all night without asking questions. It is estimated that she will not be able to recover if she does not hide for half a month. Zhongli Jiujiu continued to build relationships with Xiao Xiang'er and plan to recruit apprentices. Knowing that Xiao Ning didn't like her, she consciously stayed away from her and didn't interfere.

Ning Yuhe knew how powerful the women on the boat were, but he didn't dare to run over and let others see their flaws. After returning to the boat, he ran back to the house quietly and closed the door.

Ning Qingye usually had a cold personality and was taciturn. In front of her master, whom she regarded as her closest relative, she did not show too much enthusiasm, but her eyes still showed a little more intimacy. She poured a cup of tea in the room and handed it to Ning Qingye. In front of Yuhe:

"Master, I heard that you were injured a few days ago. Are you okay?"

The injury on Ning Yuhe's shoulder has not healed, but he was stabbed for a long time last night and the injury was obviously more serious. He almost forgot about the pain in his shoulder. He only remembered it when he heard Ning Qingye's words.

Ning Yuhe took advantage of the situation and rubbed his shoulders, no longer hiding the fatigue on his cheeks, and said softly:

"I was slapped by the Ghost Empress. It's just a minor injury. It's okay."

"Let me see..."

Ning Qingye sat in front of her, raising her hand to untie Ning Yuhe's skirt.

Ning Yuhe was panicked. She had lost the palace sand, and her secrets were completely revealed by taking off her clothes. She quickly held her apprentice's hand:

"Qingye, I'm really fine... Zhongli Jiujiu showed it to me. She is a doctor. She should be fully recovered in a few days."

Speaking of Zhongli Jiujiu, Ning Qingye thought of business and frowned:

"By the way, Master, why are you with Ye Jiuniang? Have you forgotten the things she did back then? Like a crazy woman, you agreed to beat her every time you see her..."

Ning Yuhe had never had a good impression of Zhongli Jiujiu, so when he found a topic to talk about, he said softly:

"I also want to get rid of her, but that crazy woman, I don't know if she has changed her temper, but she has calmed down a lot now. Moreover, she is very knowledgeable in medicine, and Xu Buring believes in her. Mrs. Lu and Miss Xiang'er are very different from each other. She favored her even more. I saw that she didn’t do anything bad, so I had no choice but to let her go.”

Ning Qingye's expression was serious: "A country is easy to change, but one's nature is hard to change. Ye Jiuniang will do whatever it takes to achieve her goal, and she will definitely not change her nature. Do you know Zhongli Chuchu?"

"Of course I know, her apprentice has just become the eighth master."

Ning Qingye sighed: "I heard from Zhongli Jiujiu that after Ye Jiuniang was expelled from the Central Plains, she still didn't give up and wanted to compare with her master. She couldn't compare with Ba Kui so she wanted to compare with her apprentice, so she specially trained Zhongli Chuchu Fortunately, Zhongli Chuchu was not as unbearable as Ye Jiuniang and escaped from her clutches..."
