Hua Xiaomei followed the sound and saw her brother Hua Rong. The sadness on her face immediately disappeared. She said happily: "Brother, you are back!"
At this time, Hua Xiaomei suddenly found a man standing next to Hua Rong, looking at her with a smile. It seemed that he was the one who wanted to buy this poor big yellow dog. Hua Xiaomei blushed and moved closer to Hua Rong.
A few steps.
Hua Rong smiled at Hua Xiaomei and said, "This Xiao Renxia, brother Xiao Tang, is a luxurious person, so you don't have to be polite."
After hearing this, Hua Xiaomei wished Xiaotang Yingying a blessing and said, "My family has met Young Master Xiao."
Xiao Tang looked at the little girl from the Hua family with her eyebrows that looked like frowning but not frowning, her beautiful eyes like autumn water, and her aura that was like an orchid. I felt pity for her temperament. She was a perfect embryo of beauty.
Thinking again of the bearded man in the Water Margin, Song Jiang took it upon himself to marry this weak girl to Thunderbolt and Fire Qin Ming... No matter how he thought about it, he didn't match this delicate and beautiful girl.
Besides, the contrast between Qin Ming and Hua Xiaomei was too strong, and they had not interacted with each other before. In order to recruit talents, Song Jiang forced them to come together... Thinking of this, Xiao Tang couldn't help but scolded the black dwarf again.
Ichiban.
"My sister is so kind-hearted, even to a dog, let alone a human being?" Xiao Tang smiled at Hua Rong, and then he said to Old Man Sun of the wine shop: "I bought this dog, please give me a price.
!”
After hearing this, Hua Rong hurriedly said: "I am a kind-hearted girl, but how can I ask for bad money from my brother? My younger brother should pay for it."
Xiao Tang laughed and said, "How much money can a big yellow dog waste? I'll pay for it now that I've said it. Are brothers Hua Rong still arguing with me over this little money?" When Hua Rong heard what Xiao Tang said, he
He smiled and said thank you, and stopped arguing with Xiao Tang.
When the old man Sun saw Xiao Tang's handsome appearance and luxurious clothes, he said: "Look, you bought my dog for the little girl from the Hua family. I won't lie to you. I bought this dog for 600 yuan, but I was delayed in selling it to you."
You can buy the business with your usual money."
When Xiao Tang heard what Old Man Sun said frankly, he called Xiao Yi, who was accompanying him, and took out a few taels of silver and handed them over to him. Old Man Sun was overjoyed when he saw it, and he hurriedly muzzled the big yellow dog.
He took off the chain and replaced it with a rope for the dog and handed it to Xiao Tang.
"Little sister, you can save this big yellow dog with a moment of kindness, but the hard thing is to take good care of it for the rest of its life, and you have to worry about it." After Xiao Tang said this, he smiled and held the big yellow dog's rope towards Hua.
The younger sister handed it over.
Hua Xiaomei's heart beat wildly for no reason. Although Xiao Tang was not as handsome as her brother, compared with Hua Rong's heroic spirit, Xiao Tang exuded a masculine aura. Hua Xiaomei was at a loss for a moment.
, quickly thanked him and took the rope.
The big yellow dog saved its life under the knife. It kept rubbing its body against Hua Xiaomei, and its big tail was wagging happily. At this time, Hua Xiaomei finally showed a smile on her face, and she glanced at Zheng Yu secretly.
Xiao Tang looked at his brother Hua Rong, who was chatting with him, and had only one thought in his mind: This elder brother is really a good person.
Xiao Tang then said to Hua Rong: "Brother Hua Rong, we want to find a place to place the escort car and stay overnight. My brother is a local of Qingfeng Town, and I would like to trouble you to recommend a place."
Hua Rong replied: "Of course, there is a restaurant opposite the Tutu Dawang Temple in this town called Caiao Tower. In previous years, during the Lantern Festival, we would set up a small Ao Mountain under the restaurant to celebrate the Lantern Festival. Whether we were staying in the hotel or not
For food and wine, they are the biggest in this town."
Xiao Tang followed Hua Rong's lead to the Caiao Tower. Xiao Tang told Xiao Yi, Xue Yong and other escorts to arrange the carriage and horses, and then entered the restaurant with Hua Rong, Hua Xiaomei and others.
When Xiao Tang, Hua Rong and others had just sat down in a big seat, a man dressed as an officer saw Hua Rong in the restaurant and rushed towards Hua Rong with five or six soldiers. When Hua Rong saw the officer, he
His handsome face suddenly seemed to be covered with a layer of frost.
The officer looked sideways at Xiao Tang and the others, then grinned at Hua Xiaomei, then smiled and scolded Hua Rong: "Master Hua family, where did you find a lover? You still have spare money to come here to eat.
liquor?"
Hua Rong said angrily: "I am drinking with others, what does it have to do with you?"
The officer chuckled and said: "You are a very strong-tempered fellow, but don't you want to ask for your background and join the army? You must know that Benzhizhai is a well-known figure in Qingfeng Town. Benzhizhai wants to see how capable you are.
Don’t be ignorant of praise!”
Zhizhai? Seeing this disgusting-looking, pot-bellied Qingfengzhai Wuzhizhai, compared with Hua Rong’s successor Wuzhizhai, how different is it? Xiao Tang said: "Brother Hua Rong, where did this come from?
How dare you disturb our interest in drinking wine when you come here with so much talent?"
When Wuzhi Village heard this, he was furious. He pointed at Xiao Tang and said, "Where did you come from, a thief!? I am Wuzhi Village of Qingfeng Village, and I control the territory of Qingfeng Town! Look at you!
Like a good person, get up and answer me, I want you to see what the king's method is!"
Xiao Tang smiled coldly, looked sideways at the furious Wuzhizhai and said, "I am Xiao Tang, the commander of the Sima Army left behind in Daming Prefecture. I wonder if this Master Zhizhai has any advice?"
Xiao Tang's words floated into the ears of Wuzhizhai, and suddenly there was a thunder in his ears. Wuzhizhai's expression changed immediately. Although the Daming Mansion Left-behind Department and the Qingzhou Inspection Department were not the same, he was just a member of the town.
The police officer, the other party is the commander of the left-behind department with three to five hundred forbidden troops under his command. How can he offend this?
What's more, this Wuzhi Village has also heard of Xiao Tang's name. He stammered: "This... this... this villain has no eyes to see Mount Tai. I don't know that Commander Xiao is coming to this town. I hope you will be honest."
..."
Xiao Tang couldn't bear to quarrel with this Zhizhai, and shouted coldly: "Brother Hua Rong and I are having a drink, and I don't want you to quarrel with me, so get out!"
After hearing this, Wuzhizhai apologized repeatedly and fled with his soldiers. Hua Rong saw the ugly appearance of Nazhizhai, slapped the table and said angrily: "What a shame, all the officials in Qingfeng Town are just eating corpses, and they bully the flatterers! What a shame!
Like Brother Xiao Tang and Brother Song Gongming?"
Xiao Tang paid attention to what Hua Rong said. After drinking a few glasses of wine, he asked Hua Rong: "I wonder how brother Hua Rong got acquainted with Song Gongming and Song Yasi?"
Hua Rong looked gloomy and replied to Xiao Tang: "My father was originally a soldier of the Yingtianfu Left-behind Department on the East and West Road of Beijing. However, he was expelled from the army because he hated his superior. My father was framed by that doggy official and died full of injustice and hatred.
After the younger brother and his mother and sister buried his father, they had no choice but to return to Qingfeng Town. However, when they were passing through Yuncheng County, their mother passed away due to grief and fatigue...
Fortunately, the generous brother Song Gongming funded the burial of my mother and gave the younger brother money, so that the younger brother and his sister were able to return to their hometown. How can I not remember such a great kindness and virtue in my heart? "
Hearing this, Hua Xiaomei also recalled the sad past, and her eyes were red with tears streaming down her face. When Xiao Tang heard this, he suddenly realized that Song Jiang had indeed made good friends by subsidizing other people's money. When he met Hua Rong and Hua Xiaomei, they were strangers to each other.
How could this little Li Guang not admire him with all his heart?
But now Song Jiang is still working as his escort and has not fled to Qingfeng Town to drag Hua Rong into trouble. If Hua Rong really surrenders to Song Jiang, it is absolutely impossible for him to serve others with his temperament. If he wants to use this arrow
Tianyingxing, who has unparalleled skills, has been recruited to his subordinates. He must seize this opportunity!
Thinking of this, Xiao Tang asked Hua Rong tentatively: "I wonder what brother Hua Rong and your sister will do in the future? With the abilities of brothers, just being a hunter in Qingfeng Town, wouldn't it be like a pearl covered in dust and a missed future?"
"
Hua Rong replied: "My father once said that if my Hua family's bow and arrow skills are only for hunting to make a living, they will be inferior. Although there are many stupid dog officers, only joining the army can put this skill to use.
By then, seeking a good family background and striving for fame will bring glory to the family. I have worked so hard and lurked in this Qingfeng Town just to find an opportunity to enlist in the military and serve the country."
After hearing this, Xiao Tang thought that this was a joke! He then said: "Brother Hua Rong, as the commander of the Sima Army left behind in Daming Prefecture, I, Xiao Tang, can speak in front of the left-behind Prime Minister Liang Zhongshu. I met Hua Rong today.
My brother's ability to control bows and arrows is very impressive. Since I want to gain a career in the army, why not go to Daming Mansion with my sister? My brother's skills will be put to great use!"
Hua Rong raised his eyebrows slightly, while Hua Xiaomei was also startled. The four siblings looked at Xiao Tang in unison.
Xiao Tang thought in his heart that Hua Rong could not be unmoved by this proposal. With Hua Rong's ability, he spent many years and only built a Zhizhai in Qingfeng Town. Like the Wuzhizhai just now, it was nothing more than a Zhizhai.
I supervise dozens of soldiers to maintain the peace and tranquility of the town, and my job is similar to the position of a security captain stationed in a township. I, Xiao Tang, am aware of my name and connections in Daming Mansion, and Hua Rong is worried that he will not seize this opportunity.
What?
Unexpectedly, Hua Rong pondered for a moment and said to Xiao Tang in a neither humble nor arrogant manner: "Brother is kind and I appreciate it, but the matter is serious and I will give it a few days to think about it."
Xiao Tang was stunned and then said hurriedly: "Brother Hua Rong and I are in love, why should brothers be polite to me?"
Hua Rong replied calmly: "It is my blessing to be friends with heroes like Brother Xiaotang. But as the saying goes, no merit will be rewarded, and I am not a snobbish person who is eager to get an official position.
It is better to rely on yourself than to rely on the sky and the earth. It is not because I deliberately rejected Brother Xiao Tang’s kindness, but I have my own discretion in matters."
Although Hua Rong said it politely, Xiao Tang felt that using words to win over him would be counterproductive. He had no choice but to change the conversation and chat with Hua Rong about home affairs.
After the banquet and dinner, Hua Rong and Hua Xiaomei were about to return to their home in the town. He cupped his fists at Xiao Tang and said, "Brother Xiao Tang, please rest early. I will come back to talk to you tomorrow."
After Hua Rong took a few steps, Hua Xiaomei saluted Xiao Tang and said in a low voice: "My brother and sister are very grateful for Mr. Xiao's kindness... It's just that my brother is a very angry person. I hope Mr. Xiao won't take offense."
..." After that, she followed Hua Rong.
Xiao Tang felt a little unhappy. This time he had hit a soft nail. Could it be that he was too eager to win over and recruit Hua Rong and his words were too abrupt?
Xiao Tang thought about it carefully, combined with Hua Rong's words and deeds in Water Margin, and a conversation between him and Hua Rong, he suddenly realized that what he was thinking was indeed wrong. In fact, Hua Rong, a handsome young man with superb archery,
He has always had his own pride:
When rescuing Song Jiang in Qingfeng Village, Hua Rong shot three arrows at Zhu Ying, aiming to hit the heart of Liu Gao's coach; when he first ascended Liangshan Mountain, Hua Rong shot an arrow into the head of the third goose in the sky; Song Jiang
When he was attacked and trapped in Zhujiazhuang, Hua Rong said again, "What's the difficulty!" Then he confidently shot down the red light used by Zhujiazhuang to guide his soldiers...
When the heroes of Liangshan were fighting everywhere, any time someone plotted against one of his brothers, he would be angered by Li Guang at the first moment. There were many enemy generals who would die under the bow and arrows of Hua Rong.
This is Xiao Li Guang Hua Rong. He is using his actions to tell the heroes of the world: No one can compete with me, Hua Rong, in archery!
How could such a bloody young man who was so proud of himself accept alms from others and surrender to others so easily?
Song Jiang helped Hua Rong when he was most helpless, which made Hua Rong feel grateful and sincerely convinced of Song Jiang. But now that Hua Rong has returned to Qingfeng Town and has a foothold, he just wants to make a career on his own.
Heaven and earth came. Xiao Tang's hasty extension of an olive branch to him was indeed not safe.
But now there seems to be room for maneuver. Now that I have met Hua Rong, who has a white horse and a silver spear and shoots all over the world with one bow, how can I miss him so easily?
Song Jiang, Song Jiang, Hua Rong, this one-in-a-thousand talent, I have to compete with you!
