Seeing everyone making noises, Dakui looked embarrassed. He still knew there were a few drops of ink in his stomach.
I originally planned to go back to Suzhou and ask Mr. Feng to give me a name. After all, Mr. Feng had read poetry and books, so coming up with a name was not a big deal. But now when people asked, Dakui was at a loss for words.
Inadvertently, he saw Liu Zongju next to him sitting there pouring himself a drink. Da Kui immediately had an idea in his mind and couldn't help but said with a smile: "This should be the place where Liu Zongju, Master Liu, has the most profound knowledge. Why don't we invite Master Liu?"
Give me a name." Da Kui was sick and sought medical treatment at this time. He didn't know how advanced Liu Zongju was.
Liu Zongju's face turned red from drinking, his eyes were blurred and he was already a bit drunk. Hearing this, he smiled bitterly and said: "I am now a commoner, how can I be called an adult?" Although his words were biased, they were nonetheless biased.
Full of decadence.
Da Kui laughed and said: "No matter what your status is, since you are destined to sit and drink with me, Zhang Da Kui, then we are friends. Come on, Zhang will toast my brother first." Da Kui said and drank from the glass first.
Liu Zongju chuckled twice and nodded: "Your Majesty has a broad mind, so I will try my best to reach out to you." As he said this, he filled up the glasses for Dakui and himself, and then he took the wine glasses and drank them all in one gulp.
Dakui personally held the jug and filled it with wine for Liu Zongju, and then asked: "Brother, what do you think is a good name for the dog?" He looked at Liu Zongju with a look of anticipation on his face.
Liu Zongju pondered for a moment and then said: "If you don't advance in your life, you will retreat, just like sailing against the current. Li Taibai, a poet of the Tang Dynasty, once said in a poem: There will be times when the wind breaks through the waves, and the sails will be hung directly to help the sea." Liu Zongju paused and said,
Wang Ding Dakui smiled and said, "I don't think I have any talent, so how about naming the young master Zhang Changfeng?"
"Oh, my brother is really talented. Come on, come on, for my son Zhang Changfeng, let's toast Master Liu." Everyone cheered in unison, and Da Kui was the first to raise his glass to toast Liu Zongju.
But I heard Liu Zongju sigh leisurely: "I am no longer an adult." As he said this, Liu Zongju drank a cup alone again.
It goes without saying that a good third-grade minister of the Ministry of Punishment would be abolished as soon as he was told to do so, and he would be demoralized by anyone else. Da Kui knew in his heart that Liu Zongju was originally a local official of the Yuan Dynasty in Ningguo Mansion, but later rebelled against the Yuan Dynasty and followed the Jiangnan Rebel Army.
.Now Emperor Taizu is hunting down corrupt officials and detectives. Although Liu Zongju has no bad deeds, he is not trusted by Emperor Taizu.
Not only Liu Zongju, but all officials who had been Yuanting were within the scope of suspicion. After all these twists and turns, all Ming officials who had served Yuanting were dismissed in all likelihood. For this reason,
Emperor Zu had already made preparations, and academies had been established in various places in the south of the Yangtze River to recruit students. After this setback, most of the newly appointed local officials were students from academies.
Dakui couldn't help but lament King Wu's foresight, but at this time he was even more sympathetic to Liu Zongju's plight. The city gate was on fire, which affected the fish in the pond. After three rounds of wine and five dishes, everyone went back to their rooms to rest after eating and drinking. Dakui's bedroom
It was right next door to Huang Ying's room. Before going to bed, Dakui went to Huang Ying's room again. He wanted to take another look at Huang Ying and his son.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the door, he was scolded by a stable woman.
"Oh my lord, my lady is in the middle of the month, but how can she see the wind and cold? Sir, please remember not to enter or leave this room at will..." Po Wen was obviously a talkative woman, and she rattled off a lot of things to pay attention to.
Dakui was in a good mood, but he couldn't help but nodded in agreement.
Although it is early spring, the night is quite cold. Wen Po only waited for the coldness on Da Kui to subside before allowing him to enter the inner room. Da Kui saw that other Wen Pos were sleeping on chairs outside. Wen Po, who is like a talkative woman, is on duty all night, and I can't help but feel grateful.
Entering the inner room, he saw two maids waiting here. Seeing Da Kui greeting each other, Da Kui smiled and came to Huang Ying's bed. Seeing that Huang Ying looked much better, he felt relieved. Then he looked at his son Zhang Changfeng. , sleeping very sweetly in his swaddling clothes, Dakui intuitively felt that his heart was filled with sweetness. Dakui couldn't get enough of it, and stood in front of the bed for a long time without any intention of leaving.
Xiaocui on the side said softly: "Master, it's late at night. Go and have a rest early." After hearing this, Dakui understood and reluctantly left the door.
When Dakui returned to his bedroom, he tossed and turned and was so excited that he couldn't sleep. "I have a son, and the Zhang family has an heir." Dakui was so filled with joy that he didn't know how long it took before he fell asleep.
A salesman came to Peach Blossom Town, wearing a green linen cloth and carrying a pick. He shouted all the way: "Needle-headed thread-headed tiger-head shoes, rouge gouache rattle." The voice was loud and carried far and wide.
Da Kui had just finished washing up, and he couldn't help but be curious when he heard the cries of sellers on the street. After being an official for a long time, he rarely walked around the market, and he had almost forgotten some of the people's feelings. I remember that when I was a child, I liked to go to the streets of Jeju Prefecture to watch the old candy sellers. Making candy. Every time I see other people’s children having money to buy candy, I can only drool while I have no money. Every time I walk five miles to Jeju City, it’s just to see other people making candy. Other people's children buy candies and eat them, but I have never eaten candies. I remember that I was just seven years old that year.
You can often see sellers in Jeju Prefecture, with the same kind of cries. Hearing the shouts on the street, Da Kui couldn't help but think of his hometown in Jeju. Da Kui suddenly wanted to go out and have a look. If there is something he likes, he might as well buy a few.
Da Kui found his luggage, took out a few taels of silver from the suitcase and put it on his body, then walked out of the room and walked through the front hall of the inn to the street.
From the accent of the salesman, it sounded like he was from Shandong, but he ended up living here for some unknown reason. The salesman placed his load on the street in the center of the town and was still shouting. It was still early in the day, and the town was full of people. There were very few pedestrians, but there was a man in Tsing Yi picking at the stall in front of the salesman.
Generally speaking, the goods of a salesman are allowed to be picked by the buyer, and the price is determined only after the goods are chosen. Dakui understands this rule.
Arriving in front of the cargo load, Dakui lowered his head to look at the items for sale in the cargo load. The load was two one-foot-square bamboo cabinets. The bamboo cabinets were divided into upper and lower layers and could be detached. At this time, the two bamboo cabinets on the cargo load were It had been opened and placed on the ground, and there were indeed a lot of dazzling things for sale. Da Kui couldn't help but squat down and reach out to pick.
Dakui saw a peachwood comb, and its exquisite workmanship was extraordinary. Dakui couldn't help but wonder, this peachwood comb is so finely made, but he doesn't know how much it costs? Huang Ying's long hair is worthy of having such an exquisite comb to comb her hair. Suitable. Da Kui couldn't help but reach out for it. Unexpectedly, the man who was also picking the goods also reached out for the comb. Coincidentally, both of them touched the comb at the same time.
"Brother, I like this comb very much. I wonder if you can give it to me?" Dakui asked with a smile.
When the man saw Da Kui dressed in fine clothes, he couldn't help but sneered: "I saw this comb first, why should I give it to you?" Although his words were arrogant, he was reasonable. The one who came first is the one who saw it first.
Yes, Dakui didn't argue and let go immediately.
Unexpectedly, this man actually muttered without restraint: "It's great if you have money?" Da Kui just smiled when he heard this and continued to look for other things.
The salesman couldn't stand it, so he said, "This comb costs three strings, will you buy it?"
The man in green clothes picking the goods couldn't help but asked in surprise: "A comb with three strings of money? Why don't you go and grab it?"
The salesman smiled and said, "This comb is Danyang Li's craftsmanship. I purchased it for two hundred cents. I came all the way to pick it out. Do you think it's too expensive for three strings?" He said and reached out to get the comb.
Unexpectedly, the man in green clothes did not return the comb to him, but raised his voice: "You must have deliberately raised the price when you saw the rich man coming."
Although the salesman seemed to be an honest man at first glance, he had a temper. Hearing this, he said angrily: "I will raise the price. What can you do? If you want to buy it, bring three strings of money. If you don't want to buy it, put it down."
"I won't let you go, what can you do?" The man in green clothes acted like a naughty man, grabbing the comb but not letting go.
The salesman was anxious and wanted to grab it. Da Kui couldn't help but laugh when he saw it. He quickly stretched out his hand to stop the salesman and said, "Come out and run around in the world to be friendly and make money. Don't get angry." Dakui stopped the salesman and said to the man in green: "This
It’s your fault. It’s natural for me to decide how much I’ll sell this comb for, so how can there be any reason not to return it based on this?”
The man in Tsing Yi sneered and said: "In this Peach Blossom Town, you don't want to ask about Mr. Zhao Wu. I am from Mr. Zhao Wu's family. I bought this comb forcibly today. How will you treat me?" The man in Tsing Yi looked at Da Kui with a look on his face.
A provocative look.
"Give me back my comb." The salesman became anxious and walked around the stall to fight with the man in green. Although Dakui was an outsider, he couldn't just sit back and watch, so he quickly broke up the fight.
"Fuck you." The man in Tsing Yi cursed before Da Kui could step forward, and punched the salesman in the face. The salesman was beaten back a few steps and fell to the ground. When the salesman reached out and put his hand on his face,
The last time I touched it, my hands were already covered in blood.
Da Kui couldn't help but get angry when he saw the man in green clothes being so arrogant and unreasonable. Just when he was about to restrain the man in green clothes, the salesman pulled out the pole from the load and shouted: "I will fight with you."
He turned his pole and hit the man in green on the head.
Just as the man in Tsing Yi was about to dodge, Dakui kicked him at the crook of his left leg. The man in Tsing Yi stumbled and fell to the ground. At this moment, the salesman's pole happened to hit him, and there was a solid "snap" sound.
On the shoulders of the man in green.
The salesman hit the pole and couldn't help but feel scared. The man in green stood up with his hands on his shoulders, showing a fierce look, and actually reached out and pulled out a dagger from the boot on his foot.
"You two team up to beat me up, right? I'll fucking stab you to death." He said and went straight to the salesman.
The salesman was frightened and hurriedly hid behind Da Kui. When the man in Tsing Yi saw the salesman hiding behind Da Kui, he couldn't help feeling jealous and headed straight for Da Kui. Seeing the man in Tsing Yi slashing his knife straight into Da Kui's heart, Da Kui couldn't help but sneer.
He reached out and grabbed the man in green's right wrist holding the knife.
Judging from the posture of the man in Tsing Yi, there is no skill at all, it is just a ruffian's method. But at the same time as Da Kui captured the man in Tsing Yi, the salesman standing behind Da Kui actually took out a dagger from his arms and looked at Da Kui's queen.
My heart was stabbed straight down. Silently and without any warning.
