Lao Guanying brought Ximen Qing, Wu Song, Shi En and the others in. Ling Han and Shi En's eyes collided with each other. They were so embarrassed that they hurriedly bowed to Lao Guanying as if they were holding candles, and followed the maids to retreat.
Already.
But the beautiful Hu Ji woman stood up gracefully and asked Lao Guanying: "Ms. sir, are these two children...?"
Hearing the word "child", Ximen Qing and Wu Song looked at each other and felt at a loss. When a man is suddenly called the word "child" by a woman, no matter how big a hero you are, you will obey.
Lao Guanying then brought Ximen Qing and Wu Song over and boasted about their names, plus three, and finally said that these two righteous men had become brothers with this incompetent boy in our family, so they brought them with them.
They went into the inner house to meet the family members.
Hearing that Ximen Qing and the others were the sworn brothers of his son, the beautiful Hu Ji woman was full of joy and left them to have tea and talk in the inner room. During the chat, they mentioned that their surname was Bai. Ximen Qing's heart was moved and he asked: "Auntie, ancestors
So they are from Kucha?"
The reason for this question is that since the Tang Dynasty, more and more Hu people from the Western Regions have immigrated to the Central Plains, and they have followed the local customs. These Hu people have adopted Han surnames. For example, the people in Khotan all have the surname Weichi, the people in Shule all have the surname Pei, and Kang
Most Chinese people have the surname Kang, while people from Qiuci have the surname Bai.
After the beautiful Hu Ji woman nodded in agreement, she couldn't help but look at Ximen Qing in a different light and said: "It turns out that Mr. Ximen is so knowledgeable and knows the origin of the surname of the ancestors of the Nu family. The Nu family is indeed from Qiuci, and he plays pipa and
The Hu Xuan Zhe Branch Dance has been passed down from generation to generation, so when I met the girl Linghan today, I felt particularly opportunistic. The slave family was also thinking of discussing with the master to adopt her as their goddaughter!"
Upon hearing this, Shi En broke out in a sweat. He wanted to open his mouth several times, but held it back. Ximen Qing, who was watching clearly, was secretly amused in his heart. He just wished he could comfort the stupid goose and say: "** is good at cooking, Brother Gan.
Godsister is easy to get married to, but we are not brothers and sisters, so it doesn’t matter!"
However, it was okay for young brothers to say these things in private, but it would be too inappropriate to talk nonsense in front of the elders. Therefore, Ximen Qing kept his lips thin and just chatted with Lao Guanying and Mr. Bai about some trivial gossip.
After sitting for a while, before leaving, Mrs. Bai gave each of Ximen Qing and Wu Song a small purse. Each of the small purses contained five or six small silver coins for the New Year. They were stunned again.
After resigning, Lao Guanying still wanted to serve wine, but Ximen Qing said that he would have to compete tomorrow, and if he got drunk, he might miss the important event. Lao Guanying and Shi En both nodded in agreement, removed the banquet, and invited
Ximen Qing and Wu Song took a bath and went back to their rooms to rest.
Ximen Qing heard Wu Song's heavy breathing and looked like he couldn't sleep, so he asked: "Second brother, what are you thinking about if you don't sleep?"
Wu Song pinched the small purse in his hand and said blankly: "Holding this purse, I can't help but think of my father and my mother when I was a child!"
Ximen Qing felt a sharp pain in his heart. He traced the silk embroidery pattern on his purse with his fingers, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.
After a while, Wu Song said softly: "During the Chinese New Year, when you wake up in the morning, there will be a purse under the pillow. There is a few new coins in the purse. My brother used the money to buy salt and vegetables for the family, and I took it.
Bought some fruit to eat. Later..."
Sighing, Wu Song said sadly: "In the past few years, I have wanted a purse in my sleep and dreams, but it is no longer possible... Today I got one..."
After another long while, Wu Song asked: "Brother, what's wrong with you?"
In the darkness, Ximen Qing wiped the corners of his eyes and said in a deep voice: "Nothing! Second brother! No matter what, we must help Brother Shi to guard Happy Forest!"
Wu Song said "Yeah" and said: "Go to sleep! Tomorrow our brothers will join forces to defeat Zhang Tuanlian and tear down the arena!"
At dawn the next day, Ximen Qing and Wu Song got up early and took a bath. After meeting Shi En, they refreshed their muscles and spirits and went to Happy Forest early.
It turns out that the largest inn in Happy Forest has become a club of heroes who come to help Shi En. In the past few days, people have been arriving one after another, hoping to be settled by the government and to cheer for Young Master Shi.
The inn was full of people from top to bottom.
As soon as Shi En entered the inn, he immediately caused a small sensation. There were heroes from all directions who greeted him with fists in their hands: "Young master Shi, how are you always?"
Shi En repeatedly handed over his hand and responded to the heroes of all walks of life.
Ximen Qing smiled and said in a low voice: "Brother, on this Henan Road, your face is very important!"
Shi En had a smug look on his face and said in a low voice: "My younger brother is not as capable as my two older brothers, I just make more friends!"
When everyone saw Shi En and Ximen Qingyan smiling at Yan Yan, their friendship was obviously very different from other people's, and Wu Songxiong was accompanying them high-spiritedly. They didn't dare to look down upon them. At that moment, two highly respected people rushed forward and asked: "
Young Master Shi, but I don’t know that these two people around you are...?"
Shi En took the hands of Ximen Qing and Wu Song, came to the center of the inn, and said loudly: "Today, I will introduce two heroes to the heroes, so that everyone can be happy. My two sworn brothers, this one is Wei Zhen
The tiger-fighting hero in Jingyanggang, Wu Song, who is known as Guankou Erlangshen in the world..."
As soon as these words came out, there was a sudden silence in the inn, and then there was a thunderous sound. Wu Song took a step forward and clasped his fists around to thank the sound.
Shi En continued: "...and this brother is none other than Ximen Qing, a loyal hero who has been famous in the world recently - known as the Sanqi Gongzi in the world!"
Before he finished speaking, the people around Shi En had already prostrated themselves, saying in unison: "I've seen brother Ximen Qing!"
The two virtuous and respectable men at the scene were overjoyed and said: "It turns out that the Sanqi son Ximen Qing, who saved the hero with thousands of gold and sent his brothers thousands of miles away, has arrived! You guys are too blind to see Mount Tai and miss the chance to welcome you from afar. You really deserve to die!"
Caught off guard, Ximen Qing wished he could borrow a few arms from Thousand-Armed Guanyin to use. Seeing that he could pull this side but not that side, Ximen Qing had to kneel down to return the gift, and at the same time said loudly: "Heroes, please come quickly.
Come on, if you are so polite, you will lose Ximen Qing's fodder!"
Everyone stood up in confusion, like stars holding the moon, surrounding Ximen Qing, Wu Song, and Shi En, and rushed to announce their names. Ximen Qing knew that anyone who had the consciousness to enter this inn today would not be afraid of the government.
They were heroes who dared to cut off their necks and shed blood in retaliation, so they refused to neglect them at all. It took a long time to ask each of them their names, clasp their fists and say a few polite words.
When the heroes on the Henan Road saw this, they were all secretly upset: "Young Master Sanqi has such a great reputation in the world of martial arts, but he is so humble and honorable as a man. He is very different from those shallow people who are arrogant after a little success."
.If you really have some ability, you should have more cultivation!"
In the middle of the excitement, the door of the inn was suddenly pushed open, and a man came in with sweating profusely, shouting: "Brothers, something bad is going to happen!" This was exactly:
I know how to subdue a dragon and subdue a tiger, and see a man dragging an ox and an elephant. But I don’t know why he is so alarmed. I’ll listen to the explanation next time.
