Chapter 125 I finally waited for you (please! There are two more chapters today!)
This lady in palace dress is a tall noblewoman with exquisite face, skin as white as snow, dignified and elegant manners, willow-like eyebrows, eyes as bright as stars, lips like cherries, red but not gaudy.
Her long, beautiful black hair was tied up high in an exquisite bun, on which was inserted a wooden hairpin, the workmanship of which was rather crude.
She was wearing a brocade cape, a dazzling jade pendant around her waist, her clothes were shining with gorgeous brilliance, and her skirt was like layers of petals. She walked in step by step, as light as a dream.
It is noble yet gives people a sense of intimacy, a somewhat unusual contrast, both soft and charming.
This is a true lady.
Zhang Fan noticed the maids around him, all of them lowered their heads. This person must be the ninth senior sister Lin Xiner!
But why does Senior Sister Nine have a slightly bulging belly? It looks like she is 3 or 4 months pregnant!
In an instant, countless thoughts flashed through my mind. Could it be that the Fifth Senior Sister and the Ninth Senior Sister are love rivals?
Countless thoughts flashed through his mind again. Just as he was thinking about it, someone else came outside. It was a man. He came to Lin Xiner and lowered his head to support her.
Yo!
Here comes the male protagonist of the love story between three people!
The man said, "Baby! Why are you in such a hurry to leave? Take it easy! You are still pregnant!"
That's it!
Lin Xiner glanced at the person who came and said unhappily, "What can you do with just a few steps?"
Then he glanced at Zhang Fan and Qing Yi and said, "Qing Yi, you don't have to stay in Ting Feng Pavilion anymore!"
Qingyi shuddered when she heard this. When Zhang Fan saw this little cutie, tears immediately rolled down his cheeks.
Qing Yi turned around and was about to kneel down, "Master! I..."
Before she could finish her words, she heard the man say, "Xin'er, why are you scaring Qingyi? Hurry up and help her up!"
younger brother?
Zhang Fan thought, is this calling him?
But he still reached out and helped Qingyi up.
Lin Xiner added, “From now on, just stay with Xiao Shisan, and then I’ll pick out a dozen or so of the best ones to take away with me!”
The guy who was breathing heavily while speaking was so scary!
Zhang Fan looked at Qingyi again. The girl's face still had traces of tears, but she was already smiling.
Seeing this, Lin Xiner said angrily, "Girls really can't be kept when they grow up!"
Then he looked at Zhang Fan and said, "You've only been here for two days and you've already pried away my capable subordinate. If Yanzhi hadn't left quickly that day, you would have been dragged into bed with her as well!"
Zhang Fan smiled awkwardly when he heard this and didn't dare to answer!
Because it’s true, it’s not like we can’t afford it, right?
As soon as Lin Xiner saw Zhang Fan's expression, she immediately understood his thoughts and scolded him with a smile: "How dare you think that!"
At this time, the man next to Lin Xin'er spoke again, his voice full of concern and doting: "Xin'er, you are not feeling well, please pay attention, pay attention. Come on, come on, sit down quickly."
Lin Xiner smiled slightly, patted her belly gently, and said, "It's okay, I will be careful. But you, don't be too nervous all the time."
Zhang Fan saw the man helping Ninth Senior Sister sit down, so he quickly walked over and helped pull the chair away!
After all, Senior Sister Nine sent a top-notch maid, so things like pulling the chair should be done!
However, no one of the three noticed that Qingyi's eyes turned, as if he had made up his mind!
Now that the Ninth Senior Sister and her husband had arrived, the maid Qingyi could no longer sit down and had to stand aside while they talked.
Zhang Fan looked at the Ninth Senior Sister and her husband, saying, "You pick up food for me and I feed you." It was not right to talk, and it was not right to keep silent.
A little embarrassing!
But why does the man of this Ninth Senior Sister seem more and more familiar the more I look at him?
It's like I've seen it somewhere before.
While rubbing the chopsticks in his bowl, he started brainstorming!
Anime excluded!
TV series excluded!
Movies excluded!
novel?
This thing can't be ruled out!
Ponder hard!
Seeing that Zhang Fan was not eating, Lin Xiner asked, "Little Thirteen, do you think this food is not to your liking?"
Seeing Zhang Fan still scratching at the empty bowl, he asked again: "Xiao Shisan? Xiao Shisan?"
Zhang Fan finally came to his senses. There was nothing he could do. There was too much data in the database and he had to sort it out slowly!
"Hey, what's up, Senior Sister?"
"Your senior sister is asking you why you don't eat the vegetables and keep scratching your empty bowl." The man stared at Zhang Fan and said with a smile.
Zhang Fan stared at the man and thought for a while, then said, "I feel like I've seen my senior brother-in-law somewhere before. He looks familiar!"
Lin Xiner suddenly realized what was going on and smiled, "Didn't you just come from Yunmengze? Why didn't Sister Ruoxi tell you?"
"Ah! Sister Ruoxi?" Zhang Fan was confused. What was going on?
Zhou Ruoxi is the fifth senior sister, and Lin Xiner is the ninth senior sister!
Why does Lin Xiner call Zhou Ruoxi sister?
Seeing Zhang Fan confused, Lin Xiner continued, "Keep looking at your brother-in-law and think about it carefully!"
Zhang Fan glanced at the man's face next to him again, and that face slowly overlapped with Zhou Ruoxi's face!
Siblings?
Siblings?
No, since they call her sister, they must be brother and sister!
This is because my fellow junior sister suddenly became my sister-in-law!
The sister-in-law is dissatisfied with her sister-in-law and is deliberately looking for trouble!
Seeing Zhang Fan's expression of sudden enlightenment, the man picked up another piece of chicken for Lin Xiner, turned to Zhang Fan and said with a smile: "Ruoxi is my sister!"
Lin Xiner also said at this time: "Your brother-in-law's name is Zhou Wanjiang, why call him brother-in-law? We are all family members, just call him brother-in-law!"
"Yeah!" Zhang Fan nodded and agreed!
Suddenly, Lin Xiner said out of the blue, "Sister Ruoxi, I'm not asking you to destroy my Tingfeng Tower as well!"
Zhang Fan's face froze after hearing this, and he waved his hands repeatedly: "I'm not! I didn't! How is it possible!"
Zhou Wanjiang said cheerfully again: "It's okay! It's okay! This is not the first time for Ruoxi!"
Zhang Fan still didn't dare to respond. Who would have known that these guys who could be called big shots in the underworld would have so many bloody things in their daily lives!
I didn’t dare to answer, let alone ask!
"By the way! Xiao Shisan, why did you suddenly come to Wudi City?" Lin Xiner put down her chopsticks and asked Zhang Fan, "Do you also want to ask Wang Xianzhi about the sword?"
Zhang Fan waved his hand, and suddenly thought that it might not be impossible!
The Blood Demon Sect’s sword technique secrets are also included in Brother Xiuxian’s sharing. How about giving it a try?
Then Zhang Fan nodded and said, "You can give it a try! But this is not the reason for this!"
"Xiao Shisan, do you have anything else to say?" Lin Xiner asked.
"First of all, I just joined the sect not long ago, so I wanted to meet my senior brothers and sisters! Second, my master asked me to do something, and I have to go to Qiantang. Third, Jian Jiuhuang is back to ask the Sword King Xianzhi!" Zhang Fan said. There is nothing to hide about these things. It won't be long before Old Huang asks about Jianwu Emperor City, and the whole world will know about it!
"Jian Jiuhuang is back in action!" Zhou Wanjiang exclaimed in amazement when he heard this.
"Xiao Shisan, how did you know that?" Lin Xiner was also surprised and asked with great interest.
They all know about Jian Jiuhuang.
Who is Jian Jiuhuang?
His actual name was Huang Zhentu, originally from Western Shu, and he was an unknown swordsmith.
He studied under the sword-eating ancestor Sui Xiegu, and was a fellow apprentice of the Sword King Su Mao of Western Shu. He became famous in the Spring and Autumn Period. Jian Jiuhuang spent 30 years forging swords in his life and realized the way of swordsmanship. He traveled alone in the martial arts world, collected famous swords from all over the world into his sword box, and possessed six of the ten famous swords.
The first time Jian Jiuhuang came to Wudi City, he fought with Wang Xianzhi in order to let the world know the name of his master Sui Xiegu. After being defeated, he left behind the famous sword "Huanglu". With one sword, he moved forty states and became famous.
Zhang Fan smiled, but didn't say anything. They only knew one side of the story!
What they don’t know is that Jian Jiuhuang is now just a small groom in the Beiliang Palace!
After Western Shu was destroyed by Northern Liang King Xu Xiao, Lao Huang's senior brother, Western Shu Sword King Su Mao, was killed by Northern Liang's cavalry. Jian Jiuhuang ran to Northern Liang to avenge his senior brother, but failed to kill Xu Xiao many times. Slowly, his hatred was erased by time, and he was convinced by Xu Xiao, so he became a groom in the Northern Liang Palace, talking and chatting with horses all day long. At most, he would ask Xu Fengnian for a pot of rice wine to satisfy his craving.
During this period, Jian Jiuhuang once forced the white-haired old leader Chu Kuangnu, who was armed with two swords, to the bottom of Tingchao Lake with one sword, and imprisoned him under the lake for more than twenty years.
"Half-step Martial Saint" Liu Yanbing single-handedly challenged the King of Beiliang, who was guarded by 500 cavalrymen, but was finally stopped by Jian Jiuhuang using eight swords.
Liu Yanbing and Jian Jiuhuang, who had been working as a groom in the Beiliang Palace for several years, became friends after a fight.
He was called "Huang Laojiu" by Chu Kuangnu, the old leader at the bottom of the lake, and "Jian Jiuhuang" by the "poisonous scholar" Li Yishan.
"Persimmon" Xu Fengnian traveled around the world for three years, covering a bumpy journey of six thousand miles. Old Huang, the groom who had stolen things with him, had a hunchback from being hit by a hoe, had missing front teeth, and loved to drink rice wine, came back from traveling with Xu Fengnian for three years and fought again with Chu Kuangnu, the old leader at the bottom of the lake. Jian Jiuhuang finally used three swords and a total of six moves.
Sword one, dragon and snake. Sword two, twin lotus. Sword three, three pounds.
The old leader Chu Kuangnu from the bottom of the lake claimed that he was slightly inferior.
The return trip of this last trip was the one that Zhang Fan and his party encountered!
Although Xu Fengnian is not a very good person and can be said to be on par with Li Xingyun, as a fan of the book, Zhang Fan still has endless aftertastes!
Zhang Fan just smiled and said to the two of them, "We had a drink outside Yuzhou City a few days ago!"
"I didn't expect that you, Xiao Shisan, know such a person!" Zhou Wanjiang said.
Just as he was about to ask something, Zhou Cai came in after finishing his meal, "Master! Let's go! We've been waiting over there for a long time!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Qingyi standing aside and two people sitting at the table!
Even if he used his butt to guess, he knew that these two people must be Zhang Fan's senior brothers and sisters. He was a little at a loss for a moment!
"Xiao Shisan, is there something wrong?" Lin Xiner asked. He didn't mind at the moment. After all, since she was so noisy, she must be close to Zhang Fan.
"Yes! Yesterday I saw that the farmers in the farm were carrying water for irrigation even though they were so close to the water source. I thought of building a waterwheel for them. I didn't expect it to be completed today. I plan to go and see it after dinner!" Zhang Fan nodded and said.
Zhou Wanjiang became interested upon hearing this and said to Lin Xiner, "Madam! Walking a hundred steps after dinner will also be good for you and the baby! Why don't we go and take a look?"
After that, he turned to Zhang Fan and asked, "Xiao Shisan, is this water truck used to transport water?"
Zhang Fan shook his head and replied, "It's a water carrier, but not a car. My brother-in-law and sister-in-law will know it at a glance!"
"Okay! Then let's go see what new things Xiao Shisan has made!" Seeing that Zhou Wanjiang was interested, Lin Xiner nodded in agreement.
"Let's go, little rich man!"
"okay!"
After Zhou Cai answered, he ran out to get the carriage. After all, he was really a little embarrassed at the moment!
The carriage swayed and rattled along the way and finally arrived at the riverside.
Zhang Fan saw Lin Xiner rubbing her waist. Thinking that whether it was comfortable or not had nothing to do with strength, he said, "Sister, tomorrow I will build you a carriage that doesn't shake or vibrate. I guarantee you'll be comfortable sitting in it!"
"That's great! Let me thank you on behalf of your senior sister and your eldest nephew!" Zhou Wanjiang replied happily.
But the next moment, Lin Xiner grabbed his ears and said, "Why do you like boys but not girls?"
Zhang Fan didn't dare to interrupt this topic. He lowered his head and got out of the car. It was probably because Zhou Wanjiang was scolded for a while that he helped Lin Xiner get out of the car after a while.
"Zhou Cai! Lead the way!" Zhang Fan said!
"Master! Right there!" Zhou Cai said excitedly, pointing at the crowd not far away. He then opened his hands and gestured, "Master, it's that big!"
Zhang Fan's face turned black after hearing this. His two-story-high waterwheel had grown to be as big as two open hands?
"Let's go, Xiao Shisan! Let's go and see what you made!" Lin Xiner also walked over with the support of Zhou Wanjiang.
Zhang Fan nodded, thinking that it didn't matter if it was small, as long as it was the intention, he could just have someone enlarge it later!
The group of people gathered in front saw Zhang Fan and their master approaching and hurriedly bowed to greet them.
"I've met the master!"
"Meet Master Thirteen!"
Zhang Fan and his group nodded in return.
"Wow! Xiao Shisan, this thing of yours is just wow!" Lin Xiner said when she saw it.
"It would be great if this thing could be enlarged to the size of a house!" Zhou Wanjiang also said.
Zhang Fan nodded!
I don’t know what these carpenters were thinking, but they built a waterwheel that was half a person’s height, and placed two buckets next to it to collect water.
If this is the thing we are asked to build, what’s the difference between that and going to the river to fetch a bucket of water!
Zhang Fan called the old carpenter over and said, "I heard everything!"
The old carpenter nodded, feeling a little depressed!
Originally, they were thinking about making it so exquisite and hoping to get some praise, but now after hearing this, they dare not mention it!
Zhang Fan continued, "The first point is to make the waterwheel as tall as the house."
"Second, take away those barrels! You know the shape of a funnel cut in half!"
The old carpenter quickly replied: "I understand!"
"The wooden board used to scoop water from the waterwheel is slanted, right? The water goes straight into the half funnel after it comes up!"
"Use the funnel and use a wooden frame to raise it up, so that it is tilted! One side is high and the other side is low! Got it?"
The old carpenter bent down and replied: "Understood!"
"Make the lower end of the funnel wider and make some holes. I see there are bamboos nearby. You can cut the bamboos in the middle and make some holes at a certain distance. Use something to raise the bamboos. Then the water will drip directly into the fields along the bamboos!"
The old carpenter's eyes lit up after hearing this. "Then just plug the hole when you don't need water! You can also make a hole in the half of the funnel, which makes it convenient to collect water at other times!"
Zhang Fan nodded, "Exactly!"
His comprehension ability is not bad. How come he made a mini version of the keel water wheel!
Zhou Wanjiang also said at this moment: "Yes! Great! Xiao Shisan's thing is good!"
Lin Xiner also understood the function of this thing, and her eyes were full of surprise. She didn't expect that Xiao Shisan had this ability!
This requires the farmers to build a shrine to their ancestors!
And you can look forward to the horse-drawn carriage I just mentioned!
But she was still thinking about the comfortable carriage that Zhang Fan had just mentioned.
Zhang Fan was also feeling proud at the moment, waiting for them to start praising him, thinking to himself, I know a lot of things!
He hasn’t even mentioned “integrated fish farming” which is something we learn in high school textbooks!
There are also cage farming and so many other things!
Zhang Fan was thinking when he suddenly heard these words in his ear. The voice seemed familiar!
"Oh! That's right! I didn't expect that Shopkeeper Zhang also knows this thing! Incredible!"
When he turned around, he saw the man grinning, revealing a row of uneven yellow teeth, smiling at him!
Finally you are here!
"Old Huang!"
