Chapter 79: Wind and cold

Views:

The sword was taken out of the bag and with just one sweep, Wei Changying knew that it was a three-foot sword. According to the rules, it weighed three kilograms and twelve taels.

This sword is quite luxurious.

The head of the sword is made of red gold, cast in a wishful shape, with no holes or tassels, indicating the identity of the sword, which is not just a decoration on the waist of scholars - it is a sword that can be used to kill enemies; the ivory is The hilt of the sword is wrapped with shark skin and decorated with luminous pearls; the red gold sword grid is engraved with scenes of rivers and mountains; the scabbard is made of ebony wood, without any color or pattern, but with brightly colored blood jade embedded in the scabbard. The name of the powerful sword—

Kill the beard!

Wei Changying recognized at a glance that the blood jade on it and the pair of blood jade hairpins given to him by Mrs. Su should be from a piece of blood jade. Perhaps, they were still scraps from when making his own pair of hairpins. After all, for Yue, the blood jade produced in Dijing was also very rare.

Just based on its appearance, this sword can be worth thousands of gold to a layman.

My future father-in-law is one of the Shangzhu Kingdoms of the Great Wei Dynasty. He is the Duke of Yongding Marquis. He is honored as Taifu and is in charge of the Shen family in Xiliang! The sword cherished by such a person, even if it is not the famous Gan Jiang and Mo Xie from ancient times, still has its own merits.

Wei Changying has been practicing martial arts for many years, and his specialty is sword technique. However, martial arts practitioners usually have an almost instinctive preference for fine weapons.

The beloved sword of Shen Xuan, the head of the Shen family who inherited the martial arts family - just thinking of the name was enough to make her eyes light up. She couldn't put it down and played with it for a long time. Then, under the long-awaited curiosity of He and others, she lightly pressed the machine. reed! With a slight click, the Sword of Killing Hu was just a few inches away from its sheath.

Although it was daytime, the sword light was as cold as the moonlight and as chilling as three autumns, but it still lit up coldly, and the sword light felt like it was shooting into the eyes.

Wei Changying took a deep breath, held the hilt of the sword, and said to the maids beside him: "Stay back!"

He hurriedly led the maids to a corner, and saw Wei Changying's wrist flicking out, like a piece of moonlight splashing out. Looking again, the three-foot green blade, which has been completely unsheathed, is lying across the chest of Wei Changying. The blade seems to be swimming and moving, like a living thing. The sword body is engraved with layers of cloud patterns, like the purest water color. , extremely gentle, but with an indestructible and unstoppable edge!

- When seeing this scene, even a layman can’t help but praise it from the bottom of his heart: “What a sword!”

"I heard that this was something that the Taifu loved, and now it is given to the eldest lady. It shows how much the Taifu loves the eldest lady!" Not only was He a layman, but he also had no interest in swords at all. Although the Hu-killing Sword was good, but if Shen Xuan had asked Shen Zangfeng to send it to Fengzhou in person to present Wei Changying's sword, but she didn't bother to take a look at it.

However, because he cares about Wei Changying, He now sees this sword as pleasing to his eyes and as good as it is. So what if he doesn't know anything about weapons? Anyway, He now believes that the best sword of all time is the Hu Sword! none of them.

After all, if Shen Zangfeng openly claimed to be the son-in-law of the Wei family before, the He family was still a little unsure, but now that the Hu-killing Sword is delivered to the Shuangting Court - that is really reassuring!

To know…

Before the sword was delivered to the Shuangting Courtyard, everyone in Fengzhou City already knew that Shen Xuan, one of the Shangzhu Kingdoms of the Great Wei Dynasty, Yongding Marquis, Taifu, and Xiliang Shen's lord Shen Xuan deeply admired the third daughter-in-law who had never been married, even in the imperial capital After rumors spread that directly pointed to the innocence of Wei Changying, he immediately dispatched his brother Xiang Ningbo and Wei Changying's fiancé Shen Zangfeng to rush to Fengzhou with his beloved sword to kill Hu Xingye and give his future daughter-in-law to express himself. Attitude!

At the same time, in addition to Wei Zhengya, another well-known celebrity in the Wei family, Wei Shigu, personally wrote an essay on the matter in Li Si and Pian Liu. The article is written in a dictionary of Chinese characters. The key point is that because of Wei Shigu's name, as soon as this poem came out, it immediately spread throughout Fengzhou, and quickly spread to distant places through passing merchants and inns...

The central idea of the poem written by Wei Shigu himself is to praise the Shen family's strong commitment to righteousness and their ability to distinguish right from wrong, especially the righteous deed of Shen Xuan's envoy Qianli to give the sword to his son - of course Wei Shigu will not forget to take this opportunity to send the sword to The impassioned feat of the guard commander Ying who killed the assassin leader in person to save his younger brother and indirectly protect his cousin's escape was highlighted, praising her as a heroine who fought against the Hu - the entire poem never forgets to denounce the shamelessness of the soldiers and express their heartache for them. Wei Zhengya, another victim of the Wei family, died young and lamented the ignorance and exploitation of the people. Finally, it ended by looking forward to the future and praying for the prosperity of the Wei Dynasty and the early peace of the frontier.

The writing is brilliant, every word is exquisite, and every word is profound. Regardless of whether others believe it or not, the Wei family firmly believes that the truth about the series of events caused by the so-called Rong people sneaking into Fengzhou is fully revealed in this poem.

Such an important and good article cannot but be shared with guests from far and wide.

At the dust-washing banquet that night, Wei Huan ordered his grandson Wei Changfeng, who was accompanying him, to stand up and recite Wei Shigu's still-unstained poem for everyone, and once again sincerely thanked Shen Zhou: "The Rong people are shameless, and the assassination failed. To slander the reputation of a beautiful lady in a deep house out of thin air! What’s even more detestable is that there are people in the country who believe such ridiculous words! , It’s unbearable to hear! But Lao Danxiao and Zang Feng have traveled thousands of miles to come to help!”

He said, "I would like to use this cup to wish you and my two families a long heir and long-lasting happiness!"

The emotion in Shen Zhou's chest, who had just beaten his nephew in private, was indescribable, but at this moment, he could only raise the wine bottle with a happy face: "The title of granddaughter of Wei Gong has long been my wife of the Shen family. She has been wronged and slandered. How can I, the Shen family, sit back and watch? This is an internal matter of the Shen family, so why should I help you? Duke Wei, I would like to use this cup to wish the Wei family a long and prosperous life!"

"please!"

"please!"

The two of them covered their sleeves and filled their bottles together. The atmosphere at the table was warm and friendly, and the words of the poem were deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Under such circumstances, how could the Shen family say the word "retreat" again

So He Shi can almost laugh out loud in his dreams now!

Without answering He's words, Wei Changying held the sword and held a few sword flowers in his hand. However, he felt a chill in the room. He stretched out his fingers and flicked the sword, only to hear the buzzing sound and the blade's light and sharpness. When the sword was extremely satisfied, a thought suddenly came to his mind: "That day after Shen Zangfeng took off his bamboo hat... he really showed off his sharp edge, as if... like this sword-killing sword!"

Her face turned red, she made a clang sound with her backhand, returned the sword to its sheath, and said: "The space in the room is too small to open it... When the rain stops, go to the yard and try your hand."

As he spoke, he put the long sword back into the bag that he had brought it with. He put it halfway in and touched it reluctantly... He laughed and said, "Now this sword belongs to the eldest lady. The eldest lady wants to see it." If you want to touch it, why should you be so reluctant to let it go? "

When she said this, Wei Changying's face suddenly turned redder, and he thought in embarrassment: Just now I thought Shen Zangfeng's temperament was very similar to this sword, what is this? He immediately took his hand back and said as if nothing had happened, "Auntie, please put it away first. I...well, maybe I just waved it for a while, and I feel a little hot now."

As she spoke, she felt her face turn red again. To prove her words, she even raised her sleeves and fanned herself a few times.

Mrs. He held the tip bag - she was very concerned about Wei Changying, and after hearing this, she decisively told Qin Ge: "Miss, if you feel hot, open the window."

… You want to save face and get someone killed!

It has already entered late autumn, and it has been raining for the past few days. People outside have already changed their jackets, but the guard chief Ying is in the inner room with the doors and windows closed, so he is still wearing thin clothes. She was afraid that it would be seen that she was thinking of Shen Zangfeng from Lu Hu Jian, and the reason she gave casually was taken seriously by He, so she couldn't get off and blew the cold wind for a long time - after all, she was so worried and angry after being hit that she didn't drink or eat for two days and nights. The haggardness and weakness have not yet recovered, and when the wind blows like this, I start to cough in the evening.

Mr. He sent Doctor Ji away and blamed himself very much: "Why didn't you remind the eldest lady to close the window earlier? On such a day, the eldest lady's clothes are so thin, and the wind blows for half an hour. How can this happen?"

Wei Changying lay weakly on the couch, with a twisted handkerchief on his forehead. Hearing her words, he almost cried without tears: She felt guilty as a thief, fearing that if she blew the air for a while and then closed the window, she would be noticed as a cover-up, so I braved the bleak autumn wind and tried my best to support it. I didn't close the window until I couldn't bear it anymore. I was so restless that I didn't pay attention to the sunlight. How did I know that it was blowing for less than half an hour

It would be weird if you don’t cough after all this tossing!

Fortunately, it was just a slight wind chill, so Dr. Ji only prescribed a soothing soup and asked the kitchen to cook a thick ginger soup. After drinking the ginger soup and then drinking the soothing medicine, he was almost ready to sleep.

The coughing stopped when I woke up the next day, and Wei Changying quickly changed his clothes. Yesterday she was afraid of the cold. When it was time to say hello in the afternoon, she let the autumn wind blow when she went out. She felt uneasy after thinking about it, so she went in and asked Qinge to take out a cloak from the suitcase and tie it on.

When they arrived at Mrs. Song's yard, they just passed the Half Moon Gate when they saw two cousins, Wei Gaochan and Wei Changyan, standing on the corridor with their maids, as if they were waiting for someone to come in and communicate.

This was the first time the cousins met after they went to Jingping Gongfu to express their condolences. A few days ago, Wei Changying had taken leave from the old lady on the grounds of being unwell. Her unwellness had something to do with these two cousins. When they met each other, the three of them were slightly startled.

Wei Changying is lucky, after all, she even cut off her white silk ribbon. After going through the fire, people are always more open-minded. Coupled with the twists and turns, the Shen family not only did not break off the engagement, but also gave her a sword to support her. Although her face was not as ecstatic as the He family, they still tried their best to remain reserved, but they were also in a very good mood - so they had no intention of taking it. What about these two sisters? After being stunned, they immediately looked away.

Compared to her, Wei Gaochan and Wei Changyan were extremely embarrassed. They looked at Wei Changying eagerly. When they saw Wei Changying leading people past them, he did not greet them or even look at them. , Wei Changyan finally couldn't hold it back and shouted: "Third sister!"

Wei Changying walked five or six steps until he reached the door, then he stopped and turned around to look over indifferently: "What's the matter?"

"No... um..." Although Wei Changying, a cousin, can't be said to be caring about her sisters, she can still be considered gentle and kind. She basically does her best for the two sisters' requests. Wei Changyan has never been attracted by her. After being treated so indifferently, I felt scared and aggrieved at the same time. There was a soreness on the tip of my nose, and I thought: Third sister...does this mean she hates us

Seeing that Wei Changyan couldn't explain the reason for calling Wei Changying, Wei Changying was about to go in directly. Wei Gaochan said hurriedly: "Third Sister, we... we just want to congratulate Third Sister!"

As long as Wei Changying answers a sentence, even if it is sarcastic or sarcastic, Wei Gaochan and Wei Changyan are already ready to be humble. After all, they are cousins, and the three sisters are begging for help. She is not a vicious-hearted person... After she said a few words, there was a way to apologize or apologize...

No matter what, it's better than being completely ignored like this...

Wei Gaochan's bright eyes were full of pleading and guilt - but Wei Changying seemed not to hear these words and asked Shuangzhu who was guarding the door: "Is grandma in there? Is she awake or up? I'll go in first."

Shuangzhu also acted as if nothing had happened on the corridor, pursed his lips and smiled and said: "The old lady was talking to an aunt who came from far away. The eldest lady came just in time!"

Wei Changying said: "What aunt?" Shuangzhu didn't intend to answer this question, because as he spoke, she had already crossed the threshold and drifted in.

Wei Gaochan originally wanted to catch up. He ran two steps with his skirt, but was stopped by Shuangzhu with a smile: "Old madam, something is going to happen now. The fourth and fifth ladies, please wait a little longer..."

He had the same gentle and attentive smile as when he treated Wei Changying, but his attitude in preventing them from entering was extremely firm. (To be continued)
