The Chen family has a daughter to marry

Chapter 46:

There is a shortage of water in the north, but Shenjia Town has spent unimaginable materials and manpower to excavate a huge lake in the inner courtyard of the mansion by drawing water from the Su Canal that runs from north to south. A chic view in your backyard?

Shen Lifang invited everyone to go boating on the lake in the early morning. In the light mist, the surrounding scenery became blurred like a dream.

The oars swayed to make the sound of water and spray, and the red carp, which is not afraid of strangers, revolved around the bamboo raft boat. From ten to hundreds, they gathered into thousands of carps in a trance, one carp after another like fireflies in the night sky, pieced together into a picture Another wonderful pattern made Xiao Zhuer and Wang Danxia amazed.

Seeing Chen Xiaobaa sitting on the side with an expressionless face, as if he didn't care about the beautiful scenery in front of him at all, Shen Lifang, who was full of sorrow, had to use his trump card to please his daughter.

Seeing Mr. Shen, who was wearing a thin cotton coat, waving a handful of bait, countless red carps jumped out of the water one after another as if they were spiritually enlightened, and then formed a series of cursive scripts on the surface of Haoran Lake. The verses disappeared in an instant.

"The little girl has traveled for more than ten years, and once she returns home, her father is happy; she is willing to show her face and smile for the pearl, which cannot be bought with thousands of dollars."

Yu'er's memory is not better than that of ordinary people, Shen Lifang must have put in a lot of effort to train the red carp to be so well-behaved, seeing this situation, even Chen Xiaobaa couldn't help but move his eyes, as if he couldn't hide the emotion in his heart.

Master Shen saw Chen Xiaobaa's eyes flickering, although his expression was still cold, but his eyes had softened a lot, he couldn't help being complacent, imitating some martial arts masters in the rivers and lakes to stand independently on the bow and put their hands on their backs, as if Looking forward to Chen Xiaobaa's words of praise.

Chen Xiaobaa suppressed her smile, and said indifferently, "You wrote this poem?"

Shen Lifang scratched the back of his head, grinned and said: "Writing poems for my father is quite praised by the talented men and beauties in the town, and they are often called "the fairy in poetry", and the writing style is simple and elegant, which makes my daughter laugh. "

Chen Xiaobaa couldn't bear it any longer, covered her mouth without saving any face for Shen Lifang, and burst out laughing: "As for your doggerel, any child with yellow hair in a private school can write it! What's a 'poetry fairy'?" , The style of writing is simple yet elegant? Who are those people who speak out of conscience? This kind of nonsense that makes people laugh out loud can also be said, and the reward for you Shen Lifang must be thick-skinned The limit!"

Shen Lifang blushed when he heard the words, if it was an ordinary person who laughed at Shen Lifang in the Shen residence, there was absolutely no possibility of him surviving, but Chen Xiaobaa...

The thankless Shen Lifang was originally annoyed, but when he saw Chen Xiaobaa's bright smile, and the faint sunshine in the morning, blurring on the surface of the misty lake, it seemed like a fairyland in a dream.

Dazed for a moment, the face of "that person" that was locked in Shen Lifang's mind suddenly appeared. He was full of vigor, masculine, handsome, and childhood sweetheart. The smile of the "woman surnamed Chen" back then was probably as gorgeous as the little girl in front of him. Eye-catching, no scheming, no flattery, no hidden tricks in the smile, such a smile is really like a can of white sugar, which is common in every kitchen, but it is an indispensable delicacy for every meal .

"How on earth are you willing to stay... How on earth can you forgive me..." Shen Lifang smiled bitterly, talking to himself independently from the bow of the boat, with a dazed and nostalgic expression, clearly knowing that Fanghua would never be lost again, But I really can't bear to part with the fuzzy face that is about to drift away.

After the smile, Chen Xiaobaa seemed to realize that she was too happy, and hurriedly put on a straight face again, showing displeasure: "If you want me to stay in Shen's house, it's okay, as long as—— as long as you Promise me one thing."

Master Shen's murmur was very soft, but Chen Xiaobaa, who had mastered martial arts, could hear it clearly.

When he came back to his senses, Shen Lifang had an unbelievable expression on his face, a gleam flashed in his eyes, and he hurriedly walked to Chen Xiaobaa, full of expectation: "Little Baa, Xiaobaa, do you want my husband to do it for you?" What are you doing? As long as you are willing to stay by Father's side, even if you ask me to pick the stars in the sky for you, Father will do it for you!"

Chen Xiaobaa curled her lips: "Really?"

Shen Lifang sat in front of Chen Xiaobaa anywhere, looking up at his lovely daughter sitting on the bench, his eyes were full of doting: "Of course, the father's promise to his daughter is taken seriously."

On the small boat, Xiao Zhu'er was squatting by the side of the boat stretching out her hands to scoop up a handful of clear lake water, while Wang Danxia had a strange expression, staring fixedly at Chen Xiaobaa's face as if expecting something.

Shen Lifang smiled easy-going, Chen Xiaobaa's eyes flickered, and he opened his mouth to say only: "I heard that the Shen family has an armory attic, I want to borrow it to see the books in it, is it possible?"

Seeing Shen Lifang's surprised expression seemed unbelievable, Chen Xiaobaa's face sank, and she couldn't help saying: "You clearly said that you will agree to any request!"

Seeing that his daughter misunderstood, Shen Lifang quickly stretched out his hand to hold Chen Xiaobaa's palm, and hurriedly explained in a low voice: "I know it for my father, I know it for my father! It's just reading a few books. How could Father frown? It's just...heh, it's just that I never thought that Xiaobaa's request would be so simple, and I couldn't get over it for a while."

On the side, Wang Danxia clenched her fists, glared at Chen Xiaobaa and said, "You...how can you be so easily satisfied? Liu Hongyan once imprisoned and controlled you, have you forgotten? You don’t hate the person you love is bound in a cage? Leaving aside these things, with Boss Shen’s financial resources, it’s not difficult to gather martial arts masters from all over the world to attack Jun Yiran. Don’t tell me you don’t want to take back Bai Xianchen! "

In a moment of urgency, she actually put out all the thoughts in her heart, and Wang Danxia turned her head away regretfully.

Shen Lifang glanced at Wang Danxia casually, then turned to Chen Xiaobaa, as if to say "It's too late to repent now".

Chen Xiaobaa showed no trace of remorse, she shook her head lightly and said with a smile to Wang Danxia: "It's better to trade goods at equal value and fairness. If I owe such a big favor to Shen Lifang, wouldn't I want to stay in the Shen family for the rest of my life?"

Shen Lifang was disappointed when he heard the words: "So... so you still have to leave?"

Chen Xiaobaa glared at Master Shen, and said in a bad tone: "We have to agree in advance that I will borrow the books in your family, at least during this period, I will not leave, but once I finish reading the books in the pavilion, when I want to leave You can never stop me."

Master Shen couldn't help but sighed, but as soon as he rolled his eyes, he agreed: "Success! Since the father has promised Xiaobaa, he will do what he says, boatman, let's go to the 'Longma Tower'."

Dragon horse house?It means that even if you are old and weak, you still have the spirit of a dragon and a horse? ——Chen Xiaobaa forcibly held back her smile, and said in her heart: "It's really vulgar."

The hunchbacked old boatman in a bamboo hat and coir raincoat bowed his head and promised, shaking his oars vigorously and sailing forward rapidly.

The boat penetrated layer after layer of hazy mist, and unknowingly landed on a man-made island in the middle of the lake.

The lake area that Shen Lifang expended money to build is not just to show financial resources for entertainment. On the island in the middle of the lake, the ancient attic standing quietly is even more magical. Two huge red-painted stone pillars support the five-story ancient building at the entrance. The eaves and corners are majestic and majestic, and the wooden signs on each floor are engraved with exquisite wood carvings of birds and animals. The two-person high iron gate is very majestic. , It is obviously out of the handwriting of famous artists.

From the entire pavilion to the details of its wood carvings, Chen Xiaobai has a broad vision and a taste as tricky as Chen Xiaobaa, but he can't find any faults. If you really want to pick a bone in an egg, it is that the name "Longmalou" is too ugly, but I agree with Shen Lifang. Shares arty tackiness.

Shen Lifang landed, Wang Danxia followed, followed by Xiao Zhuer.

As arrogant as Wang Danxia stood in front of the "Dragon Horse Tower", her body couldn't help trembling. You must know that the Shen family's arsenal, the Dragon Horse Tower, has collected all the world's martial arts classics, and the number of isolated copies or copies adds up to nearly ten thousand. They are all dreams of Jianghu people Treasures, the collection of books is incomparable to anyone except the dark pavilions in the southern capital.

Every time she thinks that the collection of books in the Guanlan Building can transform her whole journey in martial arts, even if she tries to restrain herself, Wang Danxia is also very excited.

Standing on the bow of the boat, Chen Xiaobaa stared at the pavilion in front of her eyes wide open for a moment. Just as she was about to jump onto the shore, her shoulders were lightly held down by the elderly boatman: "Miss, be careful, don't fall when you are in a small boat."

Chen Xiaobaa responded with a grateful smile, and was about to thank the boatman, but there was a chill in the roar, and seeing Xiao Zhu'er screaming in surprise, Wang Danxia's face was gloomy, Chen Xiaobaa looked down, and saw a handle on her index finger. The ghost claw and iron hook of the ghost are pressing against his deadly throat.

How dare someone rob someone in Shen's house? ——Chen Xiaobaa was so surprised that he wanted to turn his head to look at the old boatman's simple and honest face, but his head was lightly held down by the old man. As long as the old boatman exerted a little force, the iron hook would definitely kill Chen Xiaobaa.

Shen Lifang narrowed his eyes, a trace of resentment flashed in his calm eyes, but his expression was not the slightest bit turbulent.

Chen Xiaobaa's body was stiff, and the old fisherman's hoarse laughter came from behind her head: "Master Shen, don't worry, as long as you listen to me, I will return you a healthy third lady."

As he spoke, the old fisherman pouted at Wang Danxia, ​​who was the most skilled among the group, and winked at Xiao Zhu'er, who was the least skilled, and said, "Throw the sword on the ground, and that little boy goes to the attic, and asks him what to do." The servant of Zhongshou Pavilion brought me a copy of "Langya Sword Art"."

"Success! Succeed! Don't hurt my daughter-in-law, I will promise you anything!" Xiao Zhu'er, who claims to be able to read people's hearts, can see that what the old fisherman said is true, and has successfully held the hostage by virtue of her martial arts skills. Chen Xiaobaa, who was extremely inexperienced, wanted to burn jade and rock together, so it was not difficult, so without waiting for Master Shen to nod his consent, he rushed towards the Longma Tower in a hurry, pushed the iron cast Zhumen into a gap, and then slipped in.

After a while, the rich door opened, and a thin old man with books in his pockets trembled and rushed out following Xiao Zhu'er who was walking in front.

The old man was dressed in neat white clothes, but his white hair was in a mess. His face was gentle and he looked like an old rotten scholar who had studied the Four Books and Five Classics all his life. After he stopped by the lake bank, he greeted Shen Lifang first, and then bowed to the old fisherman. He cupped his hands, presented a stack of heavy books, opened them in front of the old fisherman's eyes, and begged after confirming that they were correct: "Hero, besides the swordsmanship you want, there are also lost swordsmanships from many sects in the world. I leave it all to you, I just ask you to spare my life, Miss Shen's third."

The old fisherman's dim eyes showed greed, he smashed his mouth but didn't reach out to catch it, he smiled and pouted at the small boat behind him: "Put the book on the boat."

"This……"

The old scholar looked hesitant, and turned his gaze to Shen Lifang to seek the opinion of the master, Xiao Zhu'er already angrily shouted: "Fart, fart! Hand over the book with one hand, what should you do if you take the secret book and regret it?"

The old fisherman said with a smile: "If I hand over Miss San, Master Shen wants to take my head and get back the secret book, so what?"

Shen Lifang looked indifferent, pointed to the sky and swore on the spot: "As long as you promise to release him, I will never make things difficult for you here."

Xiao Zhuer was still cursing, the old fisherman squinted his eyes, moved his right index finger slightly, the iron hook scratched Chen Xiaobaa's delicate skin, and blood dripped down: "Shut up your dog mouth, it's not up to you."

The eloquent little Zhu'er was at a loss for words for a while, she clenched her fists blushing and didn't know what to do, Shen Lifang sighed and nodded, the old scholar threw the book in his hand onto the boat without hesitation, and pleaded in a low voice: "Is it possible to let him go now? "

The old fisherman was silent for a moment, but broke his promise and said with a smile: "Please bring me the "Swallowing Breath Jue" again."

Wang Danxia pulled out her sword angrily, but seeing the old fisherman's gloomy expression, she could only snort and throw the sword on the ground.

Seeing Shen Lifang with his hands behind his back, still nodding calmly, the old fisherman hurried back to the pavilion, changed into dark clothes after a while, held several ancient books and showed them to the old fisherman one by one, and then begged Said: "Is it possible to let my young lady go now?"

The old fisherman again signaled the old scholar to throw the martial arts classics on board, and then said: "Go and get the "Seven Steps to Shenglian Sutra"."

Everyone was furious when they heard the words, but Master Shen had a calm expression on his face. This kind of indifference seemed to be completely reversed compared to the previous doting on Chen Xiaobaa. The old fisherman saw it, smiled and said to the proton Chen Xiaobaa: "Don't worry, Mr. Shen doesn't seem to care, but he is trying his best to save you. He thinks that making such a gesture will make me restrain myself and let you go early. Others can't see through such thoughts, but I can see through them at a glance!"

Being told his thoughts, Master Shen had no choice but to smile wryly, and waved his hand to signal the old servant to go get other classics.

But after a while, the old scholar changed into a blue outfit again, and rushed over with a few classics in his arms, showed them in front of the old fisherman to confirm that they were correct, and without waiting for his orders, threw them all into the fishing boat, and angrily said, "It's all right now." Bar?"

The old fisherman murmured in his heart, he didn't know what the old scholar who was always changing clothes was up to, he wanted to stop here, but seeing the precious books on board, he couldn't help but hardened his heart and asked again: "Go and get "Broken Finger". "

The old scholar didn't need master Shen's orders, he turned around and went back to the pavilion to fetch the books. Every time he took them out, the greedy fisherman would always ask him to go get other classics, and Xiao Zhu'er was so angry that he stamped his feet and scolded his mother.

It was not until noon, and the strong sunlight made people dizzy. The old fisherman finally let go, not because he was satisfied, but because the fishing boat could no longer hold more books.

Letting go of Chen Xiaobaa, the old fisherman waved his palm to stir up the dust on the lakeshore, and took advantage of the situation, he kicked on the shore, and the boat slid like an arrow, and immediately drifted far away.

Chen Xiaobaa's lips were pale, and the iron claws pierced the skin, causing the poisonous stains on the hook blade to penetrate into the blood. His mind became more and more dizzy, and he staggered and fell into someone's embrace.

"Little Baa, don't be afraid, Daddy is here, from now on, no one will be able to hurt you."
