Zhang Jian was holding an oil umbrella, just like an ordinary member of a wealthy family. He also lined up to enter the city like everyone else. When he saw people in front of him taking out road guides and copper coins as payment for entering the city, he also made up a road guide while waving his hands. I dropped a few pennies and walked into the small town in the rain.
Such a small town makes Zhang Jian feel like he is back in Fengxi County again.
He was holding an oil umbrella. Although it was drizzling around him, there were still some hunters or vendors shouting under the eaves on both sides of the street.
It is not easy to get in and out of the city. At least you need to earn back the entry fee.
There are also ordinary farmers who buy yams, perform pedicures and sell vegetables.
Zhang Jian held an oil umbrella and walked along the bluestone path. What surprised him was that although the town was small, it was not sloppy. The channels were neat and the rainwater flowed out of the city along the channels extending in all directions.
There is no dirty or smelly experience.
Zhang Jian continued walking along the long street, and finally came to a small farmyard.
It was a simple small courtyard, built simply with adobe bricks. Some simple daily utensils were placed in the courtyard. Zhang Jian's eyes fell on the small courtyard.
The Baihua Fairy is in the small courtyard.
At this time, he heard another aunt in the yard asking towards the house.
"Old man, do you think that girl can wake up? I see that she is dressed richly, I'm afraid she is not an ordinary person!"
Inside the house, an old man of medium height walked out, carrying a load of tofu and covering it with gauze. Although he looked over fifty years old, his dark, waxy skin was full of leanness.
Immediately.
"Old lady, I don't know. We can't afford a doctor. Whether she can survive depends on her luck. If she is blessed, she can live. If she is unlucky, we have no choice but to give her a straw mat. , we, the old couple, can be considered worthy of her!"
After saying that, he picked up two baskets and walked out of the door.
"It seems that I have met a kind-hearted person!"
Zhang Jian thought to himself. He held an oil umbrella and walked slowly into the courtyard. Countless raindrops falling from the sky suddenly stagnated in mid-air wherever he passed. The lady who was washing soybeans by the well on one side of the courtyard had her back to Zhang Jian. As if his movements suddenly stopped, Zhang Jian walked towards the main hall with a few steps.
It was orthodox and bright. At this time, the small courtyard was divided into two parts. It was obvious that the owners of this family were not just an old couple.
Zhang Jian saw two cramped small rooms and guessed that the couple might have two children, most likely boys.
However, he may have joined the army or served as a corvee, and he was not at home.
In the back room, there were two small rooms. The windows of the small rooms faced the courtyard, and the sunlight came in directly. At this time, Zhang Jian saw a girl lying on the kang. The girl was slender, and she was put on Wearing coarse linen clothes, she could only look pretty, but Zhang Jian could tell at a glance that this girl used a special magic weapon to hide her stunning appearance.
She remained in a coma.
Zhang Jian did not need to use any means to sense the strong fairy light energy contained deep in the eyebrows of this female fairy. A fairy light was entangled with her soul, and her Baihua soul was also constantly resisting. Trying to refine it.
But that ray of fairy light seemed to be left by an immortal, possessing an uncontrollable blazing power.
It is filled with a strong fire poison.
For Zhang Jian, it is not difficult to remove this heavy fire poison, but Zhang Jian is not prepared to do so.
If this blazing Binghuo divine light is used properly, it can sharpen Baihua Fairy's reincarnation and help her achieve enlightenment as soon as possible. Naturally, Zhang Jian does not need to guard her here for too long.
As he thought, Zhang Jian stretched out a finger and pointed it at the center of the female cultivator's eyebrows, stimulating part of her Baihua Fairy's spiritual power.
A strong golden celestial light flowed out from her body and slowly merged into her soul that she practiced in this life, immediately blocking the blazing red flames around her soul.
The power of the True Lord of Yuanshen continues to expand, and the origin of the immortal law condensed in his body also increases.
Upon seeing this, Zhang Jian chose to stop.
The girl seemed to be awake while she was sleeping. She barely opened her eyes, and could vaguely see a young immortal with a unique and unusual temperament standing in front of the bed. After a moment, she passed out again.
Zhang Jian used the Immortal Technique of the River Map to calculate on his fingers, after realizing that he might have to stay in this small town for a while.
With a thought in his mind, he walked out of this small courtyard.
The moment he left, the flow of time in the small courtyard returned to normal.
After Zhang Jian left the small courtyard, he went to Yahang in the city, planning to buy a small courtyard nearby to live in and keep a close eye on.
In the city, only Guan Ya can do business and rent houses.
Guanya is a dental shop used for distributing toothpastes for official uniforms. Such dental shops are basically local gangsters and have a profound background in the government.
Zhang Jian did not use extraordinary means and just exchanged some gold and silver in the city.
The ability to use gold and silver is better than extraordinary means, and he soon bought a small abandoned courtyard near Ximenfang.
His original owner was a local ruffian, the kind who could feed one person and keep the whole family from going hungry.
He committed a crime some time ago, and now he is in urgent need of money in the county jail, so he is willing to sell his family property to fund management.
After getting the land deed, Zhang Jian followed the custom here and invited the buyers, sellers, intermediaries, and neighbors to have a meal together. Even if he went to a restaurant to have a meal, everyone became familiar with it.
As the saying goes, distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors. This is the truth.
As for the original landlord, who was in the county jail and could not come, Zhang Jian invited an official from the county government to come.
For the sake of "money ability", the county government came to a relatively senior official, which made this small banquet even more interesting.
Of course, Zhang Jian also got to know the old couple.
Among the old couple, the old man's surname is Wang and they call him Wang Xiu, while the old lady is called Mrs. Wang by her neighbors. Now most of the neighbors directly call her Aunt Wang, Mrs. Wang, and Aunt Wang!
This old couple is quite famous in Ximenfang because they have a sweet water well at home and the tofu they grind is more tender and smooth than the tofu in ordinary tofu shops.
In the small courtyard, Zhang Jian looked at the leaking wooden house in front of him and shook his head secretly.
The wooden house was in disrepair and had many leaks.
This is one of the disadvantages of wooden houses. They need to be repaired every year, otherwise it will be more troublesome.
At this time, many neighbors came to the house and were willing to help renovate the wooden house for free and build heavy earth walls.
Zhang Jian was not polite.
Under such circumstances, it would naturally be too far-fetched.
With the ability to make money, when many neighbors were helping to repair the wall, he went directly to the market to find a hunter and ordered a wild boar. While repairing the house, he killed the pig to entertain the neighbors.
It's rare to meet a neighbor as wealthy as Zhang Jian, and more and more people are coming to help every day.
There is strength in numbers.
In less than a day or two, the wooden house has been repaired, and some new wooden furniture has been purchased.
As the small yard was gradually being tidied up, Zhang Jian glanced at it, sighing in his eyes.
He still felt a little confused.
There is even a feeling that something is missing!
After a while, Zhang Jian thought to himself.
"One less mistress!"
Zhang Jian couldn't help but recall the years when Qi Yuhua was around, and his home was always kept clean and orderly.
He couldn't help but smile.
"In addition, we need to prepare some side jobs. We can't keep taking money out without seeing our main business..."
Zhang Jian thought for a while, and soon he made a decision.
He planned to return to his old business, selling calligraphy and paintings.
This industry is high-end, not vulgar, and still has status.
Zhang Jian did whatever he wanted. The next day, he hung flags and flags at the door, wrote letters, and sold calligraphy and paintings.
The two rows of flags and flags are very new near Ximenfang, and they have attracted the attention of many neighbors.
In this era, scholars always attract more attention.
Because most of the skills they master are related to the superstructure of the dynasty and are the most basic stepping stone to the superstructure.
Qingyu City belongs to a dynasty called Dachen.
Although Da Chen claimed to be both civil and military, civil servants often had the opportunity to get close to the emperor, so the weight was still heavier.
At this time, the Baihua Fairy in Old Man Wang's home also woke up.
Zhang Jian had already seen her once.
For some unknown reason, Fairy Baihua stayed. After she started working in the field, she recognized Aunt Wang as her godmother, helped Aunt Wang sell tofu, and became a bean curd beauty.
The two families are close to each other, and Zhang Jian often goes to Wang's house to buy tofu nao. The tofu becomes very familiar after going back and forth.
There was a good daughter in the family, she was only twenty-eight years old, which naturally attracted the good people in the city to spread the news. Soon after, the threshold of the Wang family was broken down by official and private media, and there was a lot of excitement inside and outside the courtyard.
In Zhang's yard, Zhang Jian looked at the lively scene in Wang's yard and suddenly smiled.
But in his eyes, Fairy Baihua dealt with it very easily.
First, he expressed his attitude, saying that he would serve his parents for two years, and he would be his wife. He silenced everyone with his filial piety.
It's just that two years have passed quickly, and this time more people have stepped onto the threshold of the Wang family.
Although Wang Qiaoyun did not show her true appearance, she had an outstanding temperament, and she had been helping the Wang family manage the family business during these years. This shrewd and virtuous character was noticed by Ximenfang and many caring people in the city, and those who wanted to find a good wife A lot.
In the front yard, Mr. and Mrs. Wang were busy again. As Wang Qiaoyun got older and older, they were also a little worried, so they also deliberately wanted to find a suitable husband for their hard-won daughter.
In the backyard, Wang Qiaoyun suddenly glanced outside Qingyu City, with some worry in her eyes.
"You're chasing me so soon?"
Standing in the boudoir, her face was extremely solemn.
The person she offended was extraordinary, and she still held the treasure left by the ancient gods in her hands, so the other person would definitely not give up.
She didn't think she could sneak through without anyone noticing.
With her understanding of the other party.
Just in case, the other party would probably directly control the people in the city, screen them one by one, or even directly use thunderbolt means to refine the people in the city, so as to find out her whereabouts. There is nothing hidden in the sea of people that cannot be found.
After living for a long time, they have become human demons, more vicious than anything else.
Wang Qiaoyun's eyes were stern. She glanced at the busy Wang couple in the front yard. No matter what, she couldn't let that person ruin everything here.
Outside Qingyu City, a majestic figure descended from the sky.
He was carrying a giant sword on his back, but his eyes were filled with strong evil aura, and the fairy light around him was majestic, as if a trace of it could annihilate the city in front of him at will.
He held a compass in his hand and stared at the city in front of him with a strong smile.
"Witch, you can't escape!"
He slowly took off the giant sword from his back, and when he was about to vent his murderous aura, this true immortal suddenly fell into confusion for no reason.
At this time, he frowned and fell into Qingyu City, his mind was filled with confusion.
He raised the long sword in his hand, and suddenly he pulled out the sword from behind for some unknown reason, let alone where to swing it!
"Who am I and what am I doing here? Where is this place?"
He seemed to have suddenly forgotten everything and staggered away from the void.
In the Wang family courtyard.
Wang Qiaoyun felt a little surprised in his eyes when he sensed the departure of the terrifying energy.
"Did you guess wrong, that this immortal was just passing by?"
Wang Qiaoyun thought to himself, and immediately put down his doubts.
At this time, she stepped out of the boudoir, ignoring the looks of many matchmakers, and after saying hello with a smile, she got busy with the things in hand.
Her generosity has been praised by many matchmakers.
At this time, Zhang Jian smiled slightly at the door of the Wang family's yard. He also came to the door of the yard and knocked on the door of the Wang's family.
With a smile on his face, he naturally dismissed the true immortal outside the city.
The door was opened, and Wang Qiaoyun had already seen Zhang Jian outside. Her delicate face was filled with a smile, and she handed a pottery pot to Zhang Jian.
"Brother Zhang, this is the tofu noodle that my godmother asked me to send over!"
"Thank you, sister Qiaoyun!"
Zhang Jian glanced at the extra tofu brain in the pottery pot and said again.
"Sister Qiaoyun is really ingenious. I don't know which son is so lucky..."
Hearing this, Wang Qiaoyun glanced at Zhang Jian angrily, her heart unchanged, but a shy smile appeared on her face.
In the courtyard, Mrs. Wang's heart was moved when she saw this scene. She raised her head, and the old man Wang opposite her also looked at her. The old couple immediately looked at each other and smiled, understanding each other tacitly.
Later in the evening, the old couple pulled Wang Qiaoyun down and asked Wang Qiaoyun which house in the city he liked.
Wang Qiaoyun couldn't block the old couple with his filial piety now that he was back, so he could only shirk the family he didn't like for the time being.
Aunt Wang was leaning in front of the rosin oil lamp to pick up the soles of her shoes. She suddenly put away her needle and thread and said.
"How about Zhang Langjun next door?"
"he?"
Hearing this, Wang Qiaoyun was slightly stunned, but saw Old Wang opposite him smiling at this time.
"Qiaoyun, I think Zhang Xiaolang next door is very good. Although he is a scholar, he is honest, diligent and thrifty. He is different from those bookworms!
The most difficult thing is to be a humble person and not say anything. The last time my father saw several officials looking at him for making money, they wanted to embarrass him, but they were easily repelled by him. He will definitely be able to protect you and keep you safe for the rest of your life! "
"But……"
Wang Qiaoyun wanted to refuse, but Old Man Wang smiled.
"Son, we both know your filial piety, but we are already old. We may not be of use in a long time, and we may no longer be able to help you. We only hope that you can find a good home!"
The old couple suddenly became quiet. They looked at Wang Qiaoyun with a somewhat expectant expression, but there was a hidden vicissitude in their faces, as well as some sadness.
They received news not long ago that two men serving in the Wang family disappeared on the battlefield.
Missing in this era is almost like waiting to die in battle.
All she can do now is count on this recognized goddaughter.
When Wang Qiaoyun heard this, she was speechless. Seeing her silence, the old couple just thought it was Wang Qiaoyun's acquiescence. They were overjoyed and prepared to let the matchmaker test Zhang Jian's intentions.
Wang Qiaoyun sighed softly with her wonderful eyes. It was not that she acquiesced, but she just didn't want to make the two of them sad.
When she was ready to wait for the wedding, she summoned a puppet to deal with the problem when the time came.
And on the other side, the second day.
After the matchmaker came to the door, Zhang Jian showed a very "embarrassed" look. On the one hand, he showed his admiration for the girl next door, and on the other hand, he implicitly expressed his anxiety and shame that he had not achieved success, for fear that he would not be able to give the girl a better life. .
The matchmaker was naturally very happy to see Zhang Jian's attitude. He immediately offered a large package and expressed his willingness to matchmaking.
The two 'movie kings' worked together and naturally accomplished good things quickly.
On this day, there was a lot of banging and banging in Ximen Square, and it was dressed in red and green. Neighbors from all over came to the Zhangjia Gate.
The small courtyard is already filled with flowing water banquets.
Not only the neighbors, but also the Wang family members, elders, and the county magistrate of Yazhong County also came in person, adding a lot of splendor to the entire wedding banquet.
In the inner hall, Mr. and Mrs. Wang were sitting at the top, grinning from ear to ear. After receiving tea from the newlyweds, they were immediately sent to the wedding room in the back hall.
