() As soon as he finished speaking, Wu Song saw Ximen Qing turn out from behind the tree, looking at himself up and down with a smile: "Tell me, second brother, what good things have you and Sun Erniang accomplished?"
"Who did I know? It turned out to be the eldest brother." Wu Song smiled and threw away the gravel in his hand: "What's the point of hiding behind a tree and sneaking around in the early morning? You need to know."
Ximen Qing interrupted Wu Song seriously and said, "Let's get down to business. Don't interrupt. When will you and Sun Erniang have a happy event?"
"It's all up to the eldest brother." Wu Song also said sternly: "Wu Song has been in the world for many years, and he finally has a destination. If it weren't for the eldest brother insisting on going to that black shop, Er Niang and I would not have met."
Ximen Qing chuckled and said: "My parents ordered a matchmaker, but why should children of the world be afraid of trivial matters? Now, as the eldest brother, I will order you and your second mother to get married on the same day. Let the third brother do the matchmaking."
"
"It's just that we brothers haven't set foot in Tokyo yet, and no one knows what we will encounter ahead. It's better to be stable first. When we get a firm foothold in Tokyo, we can do it for you and my second mother in a glorious way!"
"Well, the second brother and the second mother are just right."
"I'm afraid the third brother is the only matchmaker in Tokyo." Wu Song said with a smile: "Wu Song has a wish, let's take the opportunity to talk about it."
After saying that, Wu Song stood up straight and bowed respectfully to Ximen Qing, which made Ximen Qing feel a little strange.
Ximen Qing helped Wu Song up and said, "Second brother, if you have any wishes, you might as well speak up."
"After Wu Song and Er Niang get married, Liu Niang, the widowed sister-in-law, will be entrusted to the elder brother to take care of her. I just don't know what the elder brother wants?"
Listening to Wu Song's few words, Ximen Qing's heart was pounding. Since Wu Dalang passed away, although he and Pan Jinlian were almost destined for life, Wu Song, his brother-in-law, was still around. If Ximen Qing directly married Jinlian,
Although Wu Song wouldn't say anything, it was disrespectful to Wu Dalang.
Although Wu Dalang was really like dirt to Ximen Qing, it was a bit unsightly to leave a barrier in Wu Song's mind.
Ximen Qing also occasionally thought about finding a pair of useful weapons for Wu Song, so he deliberately created an opportunity to break into Sun Erniang's black shop. Unexpectedly, Sun Erniang not only gave Wu Song the pair of snowflake iron swords, but also her own body.
He handed it over to Wu Song without hesitation.
In this way, Wu Song took the initiative to put forward his wish to take care of his sister-in-law, which was exactly in line with Ximen Qing's thoughts.
"Liu Niang is also a miserable person." Ximen Qing suppressed his rapidly beating heart: "Even if the second brother doesn't say anything, I still have to take care of him."
Wu Song said: "As my brother-in-law, I also know what Liu Niang is thinking. If I really don't dislike it, I'll give Liu Niang a place at home."
Although Wu Song didn't speak so directly this time, he still pierced the thin layer of window paper.
"If Liu Niang were here, she would be very happy." Ximen Qing looked up to the sky and laughed loudly: "Don't talk about Liu Niang, I'm afraid Xue'er will also jump up with joy."
"In this case, when we have established a foothold in the capital, we will set a date and do two things together, which will make it look lively."
Wu Song knew that what Ximen Qing was talking about was actually two couples getting married together. Naturally, the more lively the event, the better.
Both of them were filled with joy, and even the magpie on the big tree nearby kept chirping.
Starting from Huaizhou Station, we passed through Weizhou several days ago and arrived at the boundary of Huazhou, where we had to cross the Yellow River and head south to Bianliang, Tokyo.
The journey was uneventful and safe, giving Wu Song and Sun Erniang plenty of opportunities to be alone. Naturally, Ximen Qing and Shi Qian knew it, and even the divine fortune teller Jiang Jing also guessed it.
While receiving affirmation from Ximen Qing, Jiang Jing was also happy for Wu Song and Sun Erniang. Of course, he did not forget to add a complaint: "The flea on the drum can be a matchmaker, why can't I? The boss's handling is a bit inappropriate."
Wu Song and Sun Erniang were beaten twice by Jiang Jing, and they agreed to have one more matchmaker.
Just when no one knew what Jiang Jingbaba wanted to do as a matchmaker, this guy proudly revealed the secret: "When you are a matchmaker, you will naturally have matchmaking wine. Don't forget to toast me when the time comes!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone realized that this guy's true intention was not to be a matchmaker, but to indulge in a matchmaking drink.
"What do you want from your own wine seller?" Ximen Qing laughed and scolded: "Mr. Jiang, you will probably drown in a wine vat in the future." Otherwise, Jiang will have to struggle to climb out!"
Everyone laughed after hearing this.
Crossing the river is also a chore. Although there are a lot of boats waiting to transport goods at the ferry south of Huazhou, it is often inconvenient for these large trucks to get on and off the boats.
Jiang Jing, the divine fortune teller, saw that Ximen Qing was a little worried when he saw the boat. After asking for clarification, he smiled and said: "My boss has never had the experience of crossing the Yellow River, but I don't know how anyone can cross the river with a big cart? Naturally, he unloaded the cart and moved the wine jar onto the boat.
, just hire a big truck when you get to the other side."
After hearing this, Ximen Qing suddenly realized that he had been preconceptions about the ships. He always thought about the large ferry boats in later generations, which could carry people and cars. Not to mention these goods, even if they were ten times more, they could be handled by one ship.
After shaking his head and laughing, Ximen Qing ordered the fortune teller Jiang Jing to find a ferryman, hired six or seven boats, asked the porters to carry the wine jars, and gave them some money to go back to their hometown.
Ximen Qing was naturally generous with his actions, and every porter gave him a gift. Jiang Jing, the master fortune teller, took a breath, pulled Ximen Qing away and said secretly: "My boss, I gave you a lot. Fortunately, they are all ordinary guys. If
There are people with bad intentions inside, and it is inevitable that they are plotting secretly."
Ximen Qing followed the good example and immediately handed over all the money to Jiang Jing: "Now that Mr. Jiang is back, from now on I will be a hands-off shopkeeper, and I will leave all these difficult things to you."
As soon as the thick stack of thousands of jiaozi was revealed, Jiang Jing was so frightened that he hurriedly stuffed it into his arms and complained in a low voice: "If you don't show your wealth, your boss is too bold. This is not Liangshan."
Ximen Qing smiled, spread his hands, and gave the signal to Jiang Jing. He happily got on the first boat and lowered his head to look at the river.
The porters got the money and went out one by one with joy. Jiang Jing shook his head again, got on the boat with Wu Song and others, drove the horses aboard, negotiated the price with the boatman, said hello, Liu Qi
The boats were connected end to end and headed for the other side.
This section of the river is very wide, and even the current is not very fast, but there is a lot of sediment in the water. It is so chaotic, what can you see?
After watching it for a while, Ximen Qing felt that it was boring. He sat down to rest and looked at the scenery in the distance while leaning on the wine jar. For some reason, he felt a surge of pride in his chest and couldn't help but roar loudly.
The boatman hurriedly stepped forward and saluted, saying: "It will take half an hour to cross the river. Our guests have taken a rest. Don't scream. It will not be good to alarm the Dragon King."
Ximen Qing saw the boatman's face turned pale and wondered: "Is there a Dragon King in the Yellow River?"
"How can you say this?" The boatman wanted to cover Ximen Qing's mouth: "Wherever the water is deep, there must be a Dragon King. If there is strange movement on the water surface, causing the Dragon King to go out, he will slap his tail and the boat will be shattered.
Forget about it, what will the guests do?"
After saying this, the boatman went to the incense table on the bow of the boat to pray again, as if begging the Dragon King not to be surprised and not to travel.
Ximen Qing secretly thought: "There are most big fish in the Yellow River, and the carp in the Yellow River are also unique. Where is the Dragon King?"
Seeing the boatman turn around, Ximen Qing couldn't help but ask: "Boatman, have you seen this Dragon King in the Yellow River with your own eyes?"
"Guest, that's not what you said." The boatman seemed to be afraid of alarming the Dragon King, so he lowered his voice and said: "When the Dragon King goes on a trip, how can we survive? I've seen people whose boats capsized in the Yellow River and fed the fish.
How can the shrimp come back alive?"
"Why, those capsized boats were not caught in strong winds, but were overturned by the Dragon King?" Ximen Qing said with a smile: "If so, why do you believe it? Instead of worshiping it, it is better to find an expert to catch it."
As soon as he said this, the boatman complained: "Guest, please don't say any more. The worst is that the villain will fight for this business and not do it, and he will return to the ferry along the same route with the goods. If the Dragon King hears this kind of words."
As soon as the boatman finished speaking, he felt the whole hull of the boat shake suddenly, and his calves cramped: "Guest! This has caused trouble, the Dragon King is on a trip!"
Ximen Qing also heard a "dong" sound under the ship's plank, as if something had hit it.
If Ximen Qing wants to believe that there is a Dragon King in this world, he must make the Dragon King appear in front of Ximen Qing.
As for now, Ximen Qing most likely suspects that a big fish accidentally hit the boat.
The man at the helm also panicked, and the man supporting the pole next to him shouted: "There is something in the water, and the villain has touched the bamboo pole!"
The boatman knelt down on the bow of the boat, kowtowing and mumbling something unknown.
When the boats behind saw the movement, they all started shouting.
"If this continues, it doesn't matter if it's a Dragon King outing. It's better to row out of here quickly."
Ximen Qing frowned, shouted loudly, stepped forward and kicked the incense table over. The incense burner rolled on the table and fell into the water.
Seeing Ximen Qing's behavior, the boatman almost fainted from fright. No matter what, he hugged Ximen Qing's thigh and said: "Guest, just let the villain go. If this continues, no one will survive."
It’s not possible!”
"Even if the Dragon King appears, I can still deal with it!" Ximen Qing laughed and said, "You ordinary people, do you know how powerful Tiangang's Five Thunder Zhengfa is?"
"Tiangang Five Thunders Zhengfa?" The boatman suddenly felt that his mind was a little confused. He was obviously a wine merchant, why did he suddenly become a Taoist priest?
And he is still the kind of expert who has never been born before!
It is said that Tiangang Five Thunder Zhengfa is the true biography of Erxian Shanluo Zhenren. Even Lin Lingsu, a master of Tongzhen Daling who has become popular in Tokyo recently, can only know ordinary thunder techniques!
