So the question is, what kind of wedding gift should I give Yin En?
Although Yin En doesn't really plan to get married, Liu Xing feels that he still has to give the gifts that he should give, and they are more or less what he wants.
But the problem now is that Liu Xing doesn’t know what kind of wedding gift to give in this martial arts module. After all, in the real world, Liu Xing gives cash directly.
Just when Liu Xing started thinking about how to give gifts, Zhang Jingxu from Boyang City was squatting behind a tree, pretending to be lazy.
In fact, Zhang Jingxu was secretly observing a person - Zhang Shiming.
Zhang Shiming is Zhang Ran's younger brother, but his strength can be ranked among the top three in Zhang Ran's generation, so he can give priority to selecting qualified disciples every year, so as long as nothing unexpected happens, he can get an official disciple every year
quota.
As a result, Zhang Shiming also had a high status in the Zhang family, but he liked to interact with outsiders very much and would go out for banquets every now and then.
So Zhang Jingxu received news yesterday that Zhang Shiming had recently been in close contact with a businessman named Liu, and this businessman named Liu had only purchased property in Boyang City a few days ago.
Therefore, Zhang Jingxu and others subconsciously thought of the alliance's base in Boyang City, that is, that strange courtyard.
A mysterious force that may be selling private salt.
You must know that some time ago, when the position of city lord had not yet been determined, not to mention people staying in Boyang City at that time, the majority were those who ran out to avoid the limelight.
Therefore, the businessman surnamed Liu, who entered the market against the wind, most likely had to enter Boyang City for some reason, and he had the intention to get acquainted with Zhang Shiming from the very beginning, which made Zhang Jingxu have to suspect that he had ulterior motives.
Therefore, Zhang Jingxu and several others began to investigate the businessman surnamed Liu, while Zhang Jingxu, who was first to come first, focused on investigating Zhang Shiming.
At this time, Zhang Shiming was chatting with his apprentice and seemed to be in a good mood.
Although they were far apart, Zhang Jingxu could vaguely hear what they were talking about.
"After you finish training this afternoon, go to Ge's snack shop and buy me a box of the most expensive snacks. You can use the remaining money to buy something for yourself."
Zhang Shiming took out a piece of silver and said with a smile: "But don't steal it for me, kid. I want to give this box of snacks to others, and after you buy the snacks, send them to the waiter at Qingxiang Restaurant. He
When you hear my name, you know where to put this snack."
Zhang Shiming's disciple nodded and said happily: "No problem, master, don't worry, I will never delay your drinking. But having said that, master, I will be starting my apprenticeship soon, so..."
Looking at the disciple who was hesitant to speak, Zhang Shiming shook his head and said: "I can understand your desire to stay in the sect, but the problem is that your ability is indeed insufficient compared with other disciples of the same generation.
Therefore, it is basically impossible for you to stay in the master's sect; but since you are my disciple, I, the master, will also find a way out for you, such as becoming a nursing captain, or a township leader in a certain town.
Coach Yong? If you do the former, you will make more money, but you can’t just desert your job. If you do the latter, you won’t make much money, but you can gain the respect of the villagers and enjoy the pleasure of being a master.”
Zhang Shiming's disciple thought for a while, nodded and said: "Then I can be the captain of the nursing home for a few years, and then go to be the head coach of Xiangyong. In this way, I can make enough money first, and then go to the town to build a
It’s a big house, bring your family here and enjoy everyone’s respect.”
"You are a person with ideas, but this is indeed your best choice, because your talent in learning martial arts is indeed very good, but sometimes you just can't react. As long as the fight is fierce, it is easy to panic, so when you encounter
When you meet an evenly matched opponent, you only have a 10% or 20% chance of winning. That’s why I don’t recommend you to go to the escort agency to make a living. Although there are some risks there, as long as you escort two or three escorts a month, your income will already exceed that of working as a nursing home.
Captain or coach Xiangyong."
Zhang Shiming said with some pity: "So you could have stayed in the division, but now you can only be a small nursing captain. But at least this is better than safety, and you usually only need to catch a thief or something."
."
"Hehehe, there's nothing we can do about it. Who said I was born like this?"
Zhang Shiming's disciple touched the back of his head and said with a naive smile: "So I asked you, Master, to find me a job, because Master, you know so many people outside, you should know who is more suitable to be my boss in the future."
"That's right, I happen to have a suitable candidate here, that is Shopkeeper Liu, whom I am going to meet tonight. This person has a pretty good personality and is very generous with his actions. In addition, he is also a good friend of mine.
So he won’t treat you badly; and Shopkeeper Liu has recently moved to Boyang City and is now hiring servants to take care of the courtyard, so it’s just right for you to go. The most important thing is that Shopkeeper Liu’s yard is not far from our Zhangjiamen.
It's far away, so you can come and see me if you have time in the future." Zhang Shiming said seriously.
Hearing what Zhang Shiming said, Zhang Jingxu suspected that he was planning to use this disciple to convey information to him and Shopkeeper Liu, because as a disciple of the Zhang family, since he lived so close, it was normal for him to come back to visit his master.
.
"Thank you very much, master."
Zhang Shiming's disciple said happily: "I know you won't give up on me, master, so I'm going to prepare what I need to bring when I leave as a master!"
Zhang Shiming nodded and continued: "It's really time to prepare. You have to know that being a teacher successfully and being asked to be a teacher after failure are two different concepts. To put it simply, it's a question of more money and less money, so
You must not be careless and strive for a smooth start! By the way, go back and find a few brothers and ask them if they have anything to be busy with in three days. If not, let them be with you on that day.
, I will arrange for you to do something for me later, and your benefits will definitely be indispensable after it is completed."
As Zhang Shiming spoke, he took out a bunch of copper coins from his pocket, "Take this money first and take the brothers out to have a good meal. Let them know that I, Mr. Zhang, will not treat them badly."
Rich people.
Zhang Jingxu looked at Zhang Shiming with some surprise, because he was really generous, just a piece of silver and a bunch of copper coins. You must know that the knights in the martial arts world are actually similar to the authors of online novels, they are all at the top.
A few people can make a lot of money because they can be recognized by more people, and the more people recognize them, the more tycoons among them will be; then the middle group can also make some money, but not
It's too much, but it's quite easy to make money, as long as you don't encounter any big surprises.
Finally, there is also the largest group of people. Their income may not be much different from that of ordinary people, or even worse, because they are really weak and can only play a little better than ordinary people, but they still feel that they are in the world.
, disdain to do things that ordinary people do.
For example, Zhang Jingxu heard Zhang Ran mention that he had an apprentice before. After entering the Zhang family, he felt a little arrogant. He felt that no matter how bad he was in the future, he could return to his hometown and be a brave coach, so he only did some superficial things every time he trained.
Kung fu, the kung fu you have learned are just some tricks. If you really want to fight, you won't know what it means to adapt to changes.
As a result, Zhang Ran's disciple received a failing grade in the entrance examination and was "invited" out of the Zhang family.
Then, he applied for jobs in the name of "outer disciple of the Zhang family". As a result, he could not find a satisfactory job because he did not have a "graduation certificate" provided by his master. He wanted to be the captain of the nursing home, but he could only become a small boy.
Captain, but like Xiang Yong who went back to his hometown to be the coach, but was pushed to the ground and rubbed by the peasants he looked down upon.
According to Zhang Ran's understanding, Zhang Jingxu's senior brother eventually became an escort, but he would only take on some safer escort tasks, but this did not prevent him from bragging to his colleagues that he was actually a great escort.
Xia just came to be a bodyguard to experience life, and his colleagues were basically a group of ordinary people who practiced martial arts, so they were fooled by him in the beginning, but they found out later
This person is an embroidered pillow.
The result can be imagined.
"There are actually many such martial arts people out there. Although in a sense they do come from various famous families, the problem is that their strength cannot match their fame, and this fame is forcing them not to let go.
They work with their bodies, so they basically hang out in suburban wine shops everywhere, bragging about something, or taking on small commissions that are not very risky."
At that time, Zhang Ran patted Zhang Jingxu on the shoulder and said: "So don't imitate this senior brother. I think he is useless now. Some time ago, I asked someone to find him a suitable job, but he still felt that this
His work was not worthy of him, so in the end there was no follow-up to this matter... I suspect that he will use this matter to scold me as a master in the future, saying that I, as a master, am not willing to help him."
Thinking of this, Zhang Jingxu felt that Zhang Shiming was a good master in a sense, but where did he get so much money?
As Zhang Shiming's senior brother of the same generation, Zhang Ran is slightly inferior to Zhang Shiming in terms of strength, but as long as it is not a life and death fight, this difference cannot be seen. Moreover, Zhang Ranze mentioned that Zhang Shiming's original family conditions were also inferior to his.
Not much. As a result, in order to buy a gift for a friend, Zhang Ran now has to chip in with his two junior brothers, while Zhang Shiming gave away so much money without blinking an eye. You must know that a piece of silver and a set of copper coins are all worth it.
It is enough for an ordinary family of three to use for several months.
Therefore, Zhang Shiming should have benefited a lot from his social circle.
This is very interesting.
In Zhang Jingxu's view, martial arts masters like Zhang Shiming are still worth making friends with. If something happens in the future, you can ask him to stand up for you. After all, in this martial arts module, the words of a hero are still very valuable.
of.
At this moment, seeing that his apprentice had gone far, Zhang Shiming took out a small round sign with a rope from his pocket. To Zhang Jingxu, it looked like a toy that he had played with when he was a child.
Simply flatten the beer cap and polish the edges, then drill a hole in the middle and thread it through, so that the beer cap in the middle can be rotated by pulling the wire.
But what is this thing in Zhang Shiming’s hand? Why is there holes and threads in the middle of this round card?
Could it be that Zhang Shiming is still a child at heart and plans to play with this toy?
If not, then this round card should be a decoration. But if it is a decoration, why is there a hole in the center of the round card? Logically speaking, shouldn't it be perforated on the edge?
Zhang Jingxu, who was hiding behind the tree, did not dare to look at Zhang Shiming all the time. After all, Zhang Shiming was a martial arts master, so he had a strong intuition.
Although intuition sounds a bit illusory, it does exist, especially when you are in school. As long as you suddenly feel your hair standing on end when you are absent from work, you can conclude that you are being targeted by the teacher.
But when he turned back, Zhang Jingxu used his peripheral vision to see that the round sign had obvious reflected light, so it seemed that the round sign was really made of metal, so it couldn't be that the round sign was really made of beer caps, right?
Are you kidding me? We don’t even have beer these days, so where are the beer caps?
So what exactly is this?
Zhang Jingxu searched for the memory of "Zhang Xiami" in his mind, but still found no similar items. He only knew that some sects may use similar discs for concealed weapons, but these discs are very thin, so that they can have enough
It has lethality, and the round card in Zhang Shiming's hand has a very obvious thickness.
So Zhang Jingxu felt that this round card should be something used to prove identity.
If this is the case, Zhang Jingxu can only suspect that Zhang Shiming got the round card from the shopkeeper Liu. This also means that Zhang Shiming and shopkeeper Liu may have reached a consensus and started cooperation?
"Qingxiang Restaurant?"
Zhang Jingxu thought about it carefully again, only to remember that this Qingxiang Restaurant is one of the most popular restaurants in Boyang City, and the specialty of this restaurant is the word "香" in "color, fragrance". When each dish is served,
The place is full of aroma, and of course the aroma here is mainly fresh, so this is a very unique restaurant.
And in order to highlight the word "fragrant", Qingxiang Restaurant is located on the outskirts of the city, away from downtown and residential areas, so as to avoid the smell from outside affecting the food inside.
