In June, Xiang Nan held a full moon banquet for his son.
"You can have a big mouth, you are so beautiful now." Bai Zhantang smiled enviously, "A beautiful wife and a beautiful concubine. I just have to be as good as you when I can."
A year ago, Xiang Nan was just the chef of Tongfu Inn. Not only was he extremely poor, he was also a wage earner. Earn less, spend more, and have no future.
But now, a year later, he has a net worth of at least one million taels of silver, six wives and concubines, a four-bedroom mansion, slaves and maids, and many mules and horses. No one in the entire Qixia Town is as rich as him.
It's really enviable.
"Old Bai, my dear wife, Fatty, you can think about it." Xiang Nan smiled, "But if you dare to take a concubine, I'm afraid the shopkeeper won't agree."
"That's true." When Lao Bai heard this, he smiled and nodded.
"By the way, when will you and the shopkeeper get things done? It's been almost a year since the last engagement." Xiang Nan said again.
"It's coming soon. We are planning to do it in August." Bai Zhantang nodded.
"As for Xiucai and Xiao Guo, I think they can do it together." Xiang Nan added.
"Do it together?! Is that possible?" Bai Zhantang asked doubtfully.
He had never heard of such a mass wedding.
"What's wrong?" Xiang Nan curled his lips and said, "There are more people, it's more fun, and it saves us a lot of trouble."
"Sounds good. I'll discuss it with them." Bai Zhantang nodded.
…
Later, Xiucai and Xiao Guo agreed to get married on the same day.
In their opinion, it is a very meaningful thing to be able to get married (get married) on the same day as a good brother (good sister).
So, the happy event was decided.
The four people immediately sent out wedding invitations and invited relatives and friends to attend the wedding.
Knowing that Guo Juxia was coming, Xiang Nan was eager to try and compete with him to see if he could surpass him.
Over the past six months or so, he has developed many unique skills.
In terms of palm skills, there are Ice Palm, Han Yin Arrow, Seven Bird Palm, Big Stone Falling Hand, Red Sand Divine Palm, etc.; in terms of boxing techniques, there are Thunderbolt Fist, Hundred Steps Divine Fist, Shadowless Divine Fist, etc.; in terms of grappling, there are Moyun Hand, Star Picking Hand, Three Yin Fingers, Spectral Shadow Hand; sword techniques include Flying Eagle Thirteen Stabs, Five Doctors Sword Techniques, Hengshan Five Divine Swords, Ever-Changing Hengshan Cloud and Mist Thirteen Styles, etc...
In terms of magical body-protecting skills, there are Iron Cloth Shirt, Bronze Armor Skill, and the Golden Bell Shield practiced by the Thirteen Taibao. Coupled with the magical power of the turtle shell and the body protection of the Eighteen Arhat Vajra, Xiang Nan's current defense power is astonishing.
When he uses his skills to defend himself, even if he is stabbed with a magic weapon, he may not be able to break his defense.
Therefore, he wanted to compete with Guo Juxia to see who was truly number one in the world.
…
Just as Lao Bai and Xiucai were preparing for their wedding, Xiang Nan also realized the fourteen deadly swords at home.
He has been comprehending this Fourteenth Sword for half a year, but he still hasn't fully comprehended it until now. It's always hard to figure it out.
This is not surprising either.
It took a lot of time for Yan Shisan to realize the Fourteenth Sword. Only the sword god Xie Xiaofeng quickly realized the fourteenth sword.
"No, no, still not working~" Xiang Nan tried the sword over and over again, and the stone pillars in front of him were covered with sword marks left by him.
One after another, the bones can be seen deep.
"Mr. Sir, you have been practicing all day, why not take a rest first." Sai Diaochan came over with Xiaocui, holding food and wine.
"It's okay, I'm not tired." Xiang Nan waved his hand, "You can put your things down and go back. Don't disturb me for the time being."
"Ms. sir, your martial arts skills are already so high, why do you have to work so hard?" Sai Diaochan asked in confusion.
"Yes, sir, you are already number one in the world, why are you still practicing?" Xiaocui also said with a smile, "It's better to stop, eat some food and drink some wine."
"The best in the world?! Who told you that I am the best in the world?" Xiang Nan curled his lips and said, "Even if you are the best in the world, you must not relax. You must know that practicing martial arts is like sailing against the current. If you don't advance, you will retreat. Just like the number one in the world Once you are rich, don’t you need to make money?”
Seeing what he said, Sai Diaochan and Xiao Cuier had no choice but to nod.
Xiang Nan still realized it, and he still didn't realize it until August 10, the day when Bai Zhantang, Tong Xiangyu, Lu Qinghou, and Guo Furong got married.
…
On the wedding day, Xiang Nan, as a good brother of several people, was naturally present.
In addition, the leader of the Kunlun Sect and his wife Han Juan, the three remaining disciples of the Hengshan Sect, Tong Boda and Tong Shitou of the Longmen Escorts, Guo Juxia and his wife, the Four Great Gods, Bai Sanniang, etc., and many relatives and friends were also present.
The atmosphere of the wedding was festive, peaceful and lively.
Although Xiang Nan is already a great man, he still keeps busy and takes care of everything, just like he was the best man for his classmates back then.
For him, the heights are too cold.
Bai Zhantang, Tong Xiangyu, Guo Furong, and Lu Xiucai are the only people he can confide in. Big Mouth Girl, Yang Huilan, Zhu Wushuang, Liu Xingyu are not included in this list.
After everything was done, Xiang Nan found Guo Juxia, cupped his hands and said with a smile, "Guo Juxia, congratulations."
"Thank you, Master Li." Guo Juxia also smiled, "Master Li, there has been so much trouble in the past six months. Your trade fair has been spread overseas. I heard that Fuso Ronin wants to trade kung fu with you."
"That's their delusion." Xiang Nan curled his lips and said, "My skills will not be passed on to them."
"That's good." Guo Juxia nodded, and then said with a smile, "To be honest, although your trade fair caused a lot of trouble, overall the court supports it."
"Why?! Oh, I understand." Xiang Nan was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized.
Confucianism disrupted the law with literature, and chivalry violated the law with martial arts. In fact, the imperial court always focused on suppressing and attacking Jianghu. A secret organization like the Sunflower Sect is inseparable from the imperial court.
The purpose of its existence is to monitor the dynamics of the world and eliminate dangerous elements that may be detrimental to the court.
However, Xiang Nan sold secret books and set off a series of fights, which made these people in the world only focus on vendetta against each other and naturally had no intention of opposing the imperial court.
Therefore, the imperial court naturally supported it.
…
"You are indeed smart." Guo Juxia smiled.
"Uncle Guo, I've done so many things, so why don't I get any reward?" Xiang Nan said with a smile.
"You have almost emptied all six of our doors. How can I give you any extra reward?" Guo Juxia said with a smile after hearing this.
The secret books collected by the six doors are not endless. Especially for superior martial arts, there are more than two hundred copies.
The key point is that Xiang Nan can catch several thieves and prostitutes every month, solving crimes so quickly that the six-door warehouse is a little nervous.
"In this case, I won't force you to ask for secrets. How about my uncle competing with me?" Xiang Nan asked with a smile.
"You want to compete with me?" Guo Juxia was stunned for a moment, then smiled, "It's not good, fists and feet have no eyes."
"Let's just discuss and learn from each other." Xiang Nan said with a smile, "Uncle Guo, don't you feel your hands are itchy?"
After hearing what he said, Guo Juxia nodded.
