When the girl saw her father, her face was also full of joy. She briefly told the story of the bandits she met on the road, and introduced them to her father.
After chatting, I learned that this nearly forty-year-old man was the richest man in the east of the continent, named Zhao Shiming. The girl they saved was also Zhao Shiming's only child, named Zhao Yan'er.
The two of them were sitting in the hall chatting with Zhao Shiming. After a while, Zhao Yan'er changed his clothes and walked out. Since Zhao Yan'er was rescued from the bamboo forest, Zhao Yan'er has been wearing a veil, and the two of them have never seen Zhao Yan'er's face.
At this moment, Zhao Yan'er walked out of the house with a graceful figure, willow-shaped eyebrows, a red face, and a pair of big watery eyes that seemed to be talking about something. Her every move and gesture had the air of a lady.
This made Zhou Fan, who was already somewhat admiring, bewildered and kept staring at Zhao Yan'er. Zhao Shiming is a businessman after all, and in an instant, he saw the clues. He coughed lightly and said: "Two
Since you are my little girl’s savior, Zhao Yan’er should quickly thank the two heroes.”
Zhou Fan hurriedly waved his hand and said: "If anything, I just draw my sword when there is injustice on the road."
Zhao Shiming paused and said: "Our Zhao family is considered to be the richest, since you two saved our little girl. Come on!" As he spoke, he clapped his hands and asked the servants to go and do things quickly.
After a while, several servants brought up two boxes full of jewelry and gold, an amount that was countless.
Zhou Rui looked at the two boxes of gold jewelry and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that Mr. Zhao was so generous."
Zhao Shiming is a smart man, so he would naturally not want his daughter to be with a poor-looking man like Zhou Fan. The purpose of bringing this box of jewelry was to make Zhou Fan quit and have nothing to do with his daughter in the future.
Zhao Yan'er is a sensible person. When he saw his father using money to win people's hearts, he hurriedly said: "If it was for money, your woman wouldn't be here today."
"Hey, Yan'er..."
Zhou Rui looked at Zhou Fan, pointed at the jewelry on the ground with his chin, and asked: "Whether you save the person or not, you have the final say."
Zhou Fan looked at the jewelry on the ground and hesitated. A feeling of inferiority suddenly surged into his heart. Zhou Fan knew that he was not worthy of the girl in front of him at all. The two of them were from completely different worlds.
Looking at the jewelry on the ground, Zhou Fan stared at it for a long time. Finally, he whispered to Zhou Rui, "Take it, it's Mr. Zhao's kindness."
When Zhao Yaner saw the scene in front of her, tears suddenly flowed from her eyes, and she turned around and hid in her room.
Zhou Rui put the jewelry and money into his Qiankun bag at once. The two boxes of jewelry inside were about one thousand taels of silver. This was the first time for Zhou Rui to see such a large amount.
After walking out of the Zhao family's door, Zhou Fan still looked downcast. Zhou Rui comforted him: "Don't be sad, you can't force some things."
Zhou Rui saw a weapons store in front of him and hurriedly said to Zhou Fan: "There is a weapons store in front of us. We both want to learn swordsmanship. You don't even have a sword on you. Come on, let's go in and take a look.
"
While talking, the two people had already entered the store. When the owner saw the customers, he hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "What do you two guests want to buy?"
Seeing the swords all over the young master's eyes, Zhou Rui asked curiously: "Why... why are all these swords of yours?"
When the shopkeeper heard Zhou Rui ask this question, he became happy and said: "It turns out that the guest is a foreigner. This is already at the foot of the mountain of the Dongjian Sect. Anyone who practices martial arts here is not a swordsman."
Zhou Rui also felt that it made sense, and asked again: "Do you have any good swords in this store? Take them out and show us." He patted his pocket lightly and said: "I have a lot of money.
.”
Seeing two wealthy owners coming, the owner happily took out a sword from the cabinet and said: "This sword is made of black iron. The sword is one foot and three inches long, and it cuts iron like clay."
As he spoke, he looked at the iron block at the door. The shop owner was not a martial arts person, so when he cut the iron block with his sword, it was cut into two halves.
Zhou Rui was startled and thought to himself: "What a great sword. The sword I use is not only for cutting iron, but also for cutting wood." Although he was surprised, Zhou Rui still couldn't hold it back.
He spoke up and said, "How dare you show a sword like this to the two of us?" As he spoke, he pulled Zhou Fan beside him and started to walk out.
The shopkeeper hurriedly stopped the two of them and said, "Sir, please stay. I have other fine swords here for you two to choose from." After a while, the shopkeeper took out five or six swords, each one of which was of high quality.
A very good and excellent sword.
Zhou Rui took a look at all the swords. He couldn't make up his mind for a moment, and said pretentiously: "Although the swords are good, they are still swords. None of them can be regarded as treasures."
