251, a knife fairy (please order)(1/3)
"The most important thing is Daogong!"
"With Taoism, you can redeem the rest of your Taoism talents..."
Bai Gui made up his mind.
Sharpen your knife and chop wood!
With better talent, it will be easier to practice. Ordinary people working hard for ten years may not be as powerful as those with good immortal bones working hard for one month.
…
After Bai Gui returned home.
Soon, he went to Bailu Academy in Zishui County to help Mr. Zhu compile the county annals.
Although the compilation of the county chronicle did not give him much help, firstly because he was free now and had nothing to do, and secondly because he wanted to leave a good reputation in the county, so he helped Mr. Zhu compile the county chronicle, which was considered as a way to eliminate the students.
Duty.
It cannot be said that he only thinks about others helping him, but he does not get a cent from himself.
During his free time while compiling county chronicles, he began to ponder various Taoist canons. This kind of thing does not necessarily need to be learned immediately, but it is useful to learn more when the time comes. There is no harm in learning more. Anyway, his memory and understanding are first-rate.
Time passed slowly like this, and it was March.
Bai Gui promised to take Haige with him, and the two of them prepared to ride to Shuangqi Town, Long Province, to help Haige get married.
What is worth mentioning is that General Zhang found out about this and sent Bai Gui two Browning M1910 pistols and gave him two gun licenses with blank seals. As long as he wrote his name, it would be fine.
legitimate.
Blank stamping means stamping the document in advance and filling in the content when necessary.
This is the case of the empty seal during the Hongwu period.
There are two blank gun licenses, one for Bai Gui to keep for himself and one for his own disposal.
To be honest, the Browning M1910 pistol is actually not very expensive, and is produced in large quantities abroad. This pistol is called the Huakou Luzi as the saying goes, and it is relatively delicate. It was the pistol that Chu Yunfei gave to Li Yunlong in Bright Sword.
But although it is not expensive, there is no way to buy this kind of pistol in China, and the most expensive thing is the gun license. This thing is sold in the market, and one piece can be sold for hundreds of silver dollars.
The reason why this kind of pistol was given to Bai Gui was mainly because it suited Bai Gui's temperament and status as a scholar.
Bai Gui returned to Qin Province for such a long time and has not visited General Zhang because he is afraid of gossip, because he has made it clear that he does not intend to serve as an official. Lin Shu and others also published newspapers to support him, and the Baifu in Yanjing is also in the officialdom.
Similar messages were posted online.
General Zhang is now the governor of Qin Province.
Noble status.
Therefore, if he rushes to Zhang Mansion as soon as he returns to Qin Province, it is equivalent to slapping himself in the face. His words and deeds are inconsistent, and he is considered a despicable villain.
But in private, he wrote many letters to General Zhang.
After all, General Zhang was his Japanese teacher.
"Don't leave in a hurry..."
"Your father asked me to help you welcome the bride. What's the difference between us going alone and you going alone?"
Bai Gui held his forehead, shook his head, sighed secretly, and immediately stopped Brother Hai, who was about to ride on his horse to avoid Chang'an City.
They had just come out of the residence in the south of the city.
Brother Hai wanted to get a wife, so he did not plan to enter Chang'an City. He went directly from the south of the city to Xifu, and then from Xifu to Shuangqi Town in Long Province.
"Where to go?"
Brother Hai reined in the reins and looked stunned.
"Welcome the bride!"
"You have to go with a big fanfare! You don't say it's a big sedan chair, but there have to be people to support the scene. Otherwise, if you go like this, your in-laws will kick you out!"
Bai Gui explained.
If the two of them went to welcome the bride like this, he didn't think he could have any other role.
There is little information in the northwest, and Qin Province is in the middle. He is from Qin Province, so many people know his identity. But if he goes to Long Province, it will be different. Who will deliberately know his identity? Maybe he will.
Some bandits saw him wearing embroidery and robbed him.
There are many horse bandits in the northwest, so it is not very safe!
Master Ma had told him this a long time ago, and he had also heard about it.
Master Ma was attacked by bandits when he was passing through Huyazui, the main road from Xifu in Guanzhong to Long Province. After leaving Qin Province and arriving in Long Province, the bandits not only hid in the mountains, but also harassed some horse bandits.
Bandits come and go without a trace and are more harmful than bandits.
The son of a rich man cannot sit down in the hall!
Although Bai Gui is good at martial arts, he has cultivated Qi under the guidance of Master Ma. For ordinary people, he can basically use one sword at a time. However, times have changed, and guns have no eyesight. He can still rely on his foresight to dodge the spears of one or two people, and even use
The knife split it, but when it comes to the number of people, it's hard to say.
In addition... Master Ma asked him, his senior brother, to help Brother Hai get married. He didn't just want to use his name to build momentum for Brother Hai and let everyone know that Brother Hai was protected by his fellow senior brother.
This has to be done with great fanfare!
"I listen to you, Senior Brother Bai."
Brother Hai said in a low voice.
He didn't have any opinion. Since his father told him to listen to Senior Brother Bai in everything, he would listen. Anyway, he felt that Senior Brother Bai would not harm him and Senior Brother Bai was kind to him.
"Let's go into Chang'an. I've already prepared it for you."
Bai Gui breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, Brother Hai is a person who is willing to listen to him. Otherwise, if he encounters a junior brother who will talk back three or four times if he says something to him, no matter how kind Master Ma is, he feels that he will do things perfunctorily.
Brother Hai is simple, and simplicity has the advantage of being simple, that is, he has less to worry about.
Enter Yongning Gate at the south gate.
Weaving through the crowd, we arrived at the Wu Mansion in Dongcheng.
After knocking on the door, a door led him and Brother Hai into the living room.
"I've met Mrs. Wu."
Bai Gui saluted and sat on the straight-backed chair.
He is considered a habitual guest in Wu Mansion, so there is no need to be too rigid in etiquette.
"Meihe, I have already helped you with the matter you entrusted me with. There are more than 40 guards, all of whom are highly skilled in martial arts. They can shoot guns and bring blunderbuss and rifles, as well as matchmakers and sedan chairs to welcome and marry.
Husband, wait..."
"Anyway, next month is the wedding date for you and Huaixian. It's okay to make preparations in advance."
Zhou Ying said with a smile.
Next month is April. A few days ago, Wu Huaixian also wrote back saying that he had completed his graduation thesis at Dongda University and could go home early. Taking into account the travel delay, he would be back in about a month.
Most Japanese graduates take place in March or April.
For those students studying in Japan who are engaged, the first thing they do after returning is to get married.
Men should be married when they are older, and women should be married when they are older.
When I returned from studying in Japan, I would probably be in my twenties no matter how young I was. Many people were already getting married and having children at this age, so I couldn't waste any time. What's more, the daughter of a scholar of government had also waited for such a long time.
Anyway, it was just a coincidence, and the two planned to hold the wedding together to join in the fun.
After all, the two of them do it together, saving money is secondly, and both families are not short of money. The main reason is to celebrate, and besides, both of them have been friends for many years. In addition, there is a top wedding team, etc., Chang'an
There aren't many cities, and if we only have a few days to go, we won't be fully prepared. Rather than doing that, it's better to do it together.
"Then I would like to thank Mrs. Wu on behalf of my junior brother."
Bai Gui nodded and thanked him.
The wedding team came second, mainly the caravan guards of the Wu Mansion that he coveted. These caravan guards and guards were all highly skilled in martial arts. They were not comparable to him and Master Ma, but among ordinary practitioners, they really couldn't be underestimated.
watch for.
The most important thing is that these guards and caravan guards can shoot, and their marksmanship is good.
With the Wu family's financial resources, it is not difficult to form a gun team.
You must know that Zhou Ying was once the goddaughter of the Queen Mother of the West. Although she didn't kiss her very much and the one who called her daddy had already burped, but when Xunqing was around, who didn't show some dignity...
However... if the Wu Mansion Gun Team swaggers out of the Wu Mansion now, it would be a bit dangerous at this moment and could easily lead to bad luck.
But who gave Bai Gui connections?
The Wu family was also happy to sell this favor and make Bai Gui a good friend.
"This is Junior Brother Ling, right?"
"Well, as expected, he looks...talented and handsome..."
