Chapter 113 Weird, Weird, or Weird

Zhao Mengji nodded slowly, his face turned slightly red, and his breathing was a little rapid. Obviously, he was quite moved by the trust of Xu Xingxia. Three hundred taels of silver was definitely a huge sum of money for him. How could he not be moved? He was not good at expressing his feelings, so he seemed a little embarrassed.

In Ningxia Town, the status of craftsmen is even lower than that of military households, and their lives are even more miserable than that of military households. Fortunately, they met Xu Xingxia, and after paying a lot of money, they finally got rid of their fate of being unclogged and not being able to eat. Xu Xingxia is really the benefactor of craftsmen!

After a while, Zhao Mengji said, "Sir, there are a few craftsmen in the craftsman workshop in Pinglu City, who are good friends of their subordinates. They are also good at making muskets. If they can come to Weizhen Fort, they may be able to find a way with their subordinates to solve the rifle matter as soon as possible. I want to invite them to Weizhen Fort, but I don't know... "

Xu Xingxia said quietly: "Zhao Mengji, I said that the rifled gun is a secret. Unless they are willing to move their whole family to Weizhen Fort, you cannot disclose the secret of the rifled gun to them."

Zhao Mengji said slowly: "Subordinates that they are willing to move to Weizhen Fort. They have no work or income in Pinglu City. Life is very difficult... just in terms of wages..."

Xu Xingxia said cheerfully: "As long as they are willing to come, I will definitely not treat them unfairly in terms of wages. This way, if they are willing to come, I am willing to pay their ten taels of silver to settle down in advance. After coming to Weizhenbao, I guarantee that they will earn three taels of silver every month. Is that OK?"

Zhao Mengji was overjoyed and said excitedly: "Okay, that's OK. Sir, you trust us craftsmen so much. The villain swears that even if you are crushed to pieces, you will definitely find a way to solve the rifle problem. The rifled rifle will definitely be put into production!"

Xu Xingxia nodded and smiled with satisfaction.

This is what he wants.

A scholar dies for his confidant!

It was already evening when Xu Xingxia came out of the craftsman's workshop. On the way home, he just had to pass the teahouse. Coincidentally, when he passed by the entrance of the teahouse, he happened to see that Miss Azhu was sitting quietly reading a book in the teahouse. In front of her, there was a thick book. The lights in the teahouse were not particularly bright, but they were definitely not dark, and just reflected Miss Azhu's beautiful figure in a slightly hazy way.

To be honest, when Xu Xingxia saw this Azhu girl for the first time, she felt that her external beauty had completely met her requirements. Her appearance and figure were not inferior to those of later beauties. What is even more rare is that her somewhat peculiar temperament made Xu Xingxia feel very comfortable. The orchid in the valley and the clear water and lotus in the clear water, but it was definitely not self-admiration or self-pity. This feeling made Xu Xingxia feel a little moved.

Of course, it was just a heart-warming thing, not yet at the point of wanting to get to know each other. Xu Xingxia always felt that there must be some inside story behind this Azhu girl who suddenly appeared in Weizhen Castle. It seemed that a girl like her shouldn't have appeared in Weizhen Castle at all, but she appeared. It was like a fairy suddenly appeared in a mythical story, and she appeared without warning.

There must be many secrets on Miss Ah Zhu. This is Xu Xingxia’s most basic view. Before she figures out her background and true identity, she is unwilling to have too much interaction with her, let alone a relationship between men and women. If her background and herself are in conflict, the trouble will be great. Once a woman gets involved and wants to get rid of it, it will be troublesome. Even a otakus, Xu Xingxia understands this basic truth.

Miss Azhu had a good hearing. She noticed someone passing by at the door. She stopped a little, walked forward again, and turned her head gently to look at the door. Seeing Xu Xingxia's figure, a faint smile slowly appeared on her face. Her smile was faint and soft, as if she had obviously illuminated the lights around her. She looked at the door and said gently: "It turns out that Xu Baihu is here, why not come in and sit down?"

Xu Xingxia said steadily: "Will it disturb the girl?"

Miss Azhu smiled sweetly, closed the book, stood up gracefully, walked to the door of the teahouse lightly, made a gesture of inviting in, and said with a smile: "Of course not, Xu Baihu, please."

Xu Xingxia nodded to express her gratitude, and then raised her legs to walk in. After entering the teahouse, Xu Xingxia casually looked around and found that the decoration of Miss Zhu’s teahouse was actually nothing outstanding, but it looked particularly neat and spotless. The only thing that was a bit unique was that wooden floors were laid on the ground. This was quite high-end in Ningxia Town. Even Zhang Qiuqing’s home did not have the financial resources to lay wooden floors.

There are only four tables and sixteen seats in the entire teahouse. The gap between the table and chair is also very large. Even if a very fat person sits down, there is enough space. In the middle of each table, a bottle of flowers is placed. The color of each bottle of flowers and the style of flowers are different. It should not be customized, and it is probably the one who puts them himself. She is a clever and skillful person.

Xu Xingxia felt a vague feeling that this teahouse did not seem to be doing business, but there were more reception rooms. The teahouse that did business was not arranged like this at all. He flipped the price list and confirmed his feelings even more. In this teahouse, an ordinary pot of tea costs one cent. Any tea with a name costs more than three cents. Even the military households in Weizhenbao couldn't afford such expensive tea if they sold it.

"Please sit down." Miss Azhu said with a smile and reached out to signal.

"Thank you." Xu Xingxia nodded and sat down in the seat in front of Miss Azhu.

After sitting down, Xu Xingxia looked around casually. As a result, he accidentally discovered that the one placed in front of Miss Azhu was actually a sutra, with the name as "The Heart Sutra of Prajna Paramita". He reached out and took it over and found that it was indeed a Buddhist scripture. This sutra was very famous in the Ming Dynasty. Xu Xingxia heard that his mother Wang once mentioned it. Wang is also a Buddhist and occasionally goes to the temple to recite scriptures.

He couldn't help but wonder, why did she read Buddhist scriptures here? Taoist Master Tang Chen should be a Taoist, but his disciple is studying Buddhist scriptures? Is he absorbing the strengths of a hundred schools of thought, or is the Buddha originally a Tao? Xu Xingxia felt more and more that there were too many secrets on this girl Azhu. The wonderful man with a beautiful country and a beautiful country has a unknown origin, which is really confusing!

Miss Azhu asked gently, "What kind of tea Xu Baihu likes to drink?"

Xu Xingxia shook her head and said casually: "I don't drink tea."

Miss Azhu pursed her lips and smiled gently and said gently and gracefully: "Xu Baihu is here for the first time, and the little girl will not collect tea money."

Xu Xingxia smiled and said casually: "Those who are determined to drink alcohol, while those who are bored drink tea. I don't like drinking tea, so there is no need for girls to do it."

Ah Zhu's eyebrows frowned slightly, and there seemed to be something strange in his eyes. He slowly said, "Xu Baihu said this, but he beat the little girl and others to death. The little girl likes to drink tea. Could it be that the little girl is a boring person?"

Xu Xingxia smiled and said, "Not this. This couplet I suddenly thought of, and I said it casually. This couplet was originally used when fighting with a restaurant. I thought it was quite interesting, so I remembered it in my heart, but it was not intentional offense to the girl. However, the girl's teahouse is really not cheap. A pot of ordinary tea costs one qian, and a good tea can start at least three qian. Miss Azhu, are you sure you came to Weizhenbao to do business?"

Miss Azhu's eyes were deep, her beautiful eyebrows were quietly frowning, and she said calmly: "If the little woman was not here to do business, what would she do?"

Xu Xingxia lowered her voice, stared at Miss Azhu's big eyes, and said word by word: "I suspect that you are the detailed works of the Tartars!"

Miss Azhu's expression remained unchanged, but she didn't say anything. She looked at Xu Xingxia quietly. Her eyes were very clear and deep, without any panic, and there was not even a slight fluctuation, as if she hadn't heard what Xu Xingxia was saying. Originally, Xu Xingxia wanted to see what she had reacted to open a breakthrough and check her background, but it was obvious that he failed. Miss Azhu's reaction was that there was no reaction.

Xu Xingxia straightened her body, smiled, and said casually: "Of course, this is impossible. The girl's teahouse is really too conspicuous. How could the Tartars' fine work be so obvious that it makes people suspicious for no reason? They must be mixed in the most inconspicuous crowd and silently observing everything around them."

Miss Azhu said calmly: "Thank you for Xu Baihu's trust."

Xu Xingxia smiled and didn't feel that what he said just now was a bit offensive to Miss Azhu. Although he thought that Miss Azhu was good-looking and skillful, he would never be afraid and hesitant in front of her because of this. I guess this is the benefit of a time traveler. As a time traveler, what kind of beauty have you never seen? Even if you haven't seen a real person, at least you have seen pictures?

Miss Azhu's expression was a little faint, and she seemed not angry. In fact, she was already a little annoyed. This Xu Xingxia was actually a guy who spoke unrestrainedly. He dared to suspect that he was a spy of the Tartars! He could think of it! He didn't know how his mind was! Wang Qinian's secret memoir was written, and how did his secret memoir content be completely different from what he saw?

Xu Xingxia did not notice at all that Miss Azhu had already been thinking a lot. He said casually: "Actually, I think that if I were the leader of the Tartar tribe, I would definitely not be willing to let such a beautiful girl do it as a meticulous work. If I was caught by a secret spy in the court, how much would the loss be! From this, it is judged that the possibility of a girl being a meticulous work is basically zero."

Ah Zhu's face was slightly flushed, as if she was shy and silent. The light shone on her cheeks, and there was a faint halo, slowly spreading. It seemed a little mysterious, a little hazy, and a little bottomless. No wonder Niu Niu said that she looked a bit like the Empress Guanyin in the portrait. If she was wearing white clothes, holding a jade bottle in her hand, and inserting a willow branch into the jade bottle, it would be a bit similar!

"It's bad, is she really a spy of the Tartars?" Xu Xingxia couldn't help but think wildly. If she was really a Tartar's meticulous work, she would have to be rude. Hey, after being captured, should she destroy it first and then send her on the way? By the way, I seem to have never done anything bad...

Just as he was about to speak, a slight sound of footsteps came from behind. It must have been Taoist Tang Chen who came out. Xu Xingxia turned his head and looked at it, and his mind immediately turned from Miss Azhu to Taoist Tang Chen. There was no way, Taoist Tang Chen was indeed quite alternative. No matter where he walked, it was very eye-catching.

He looked like he didn't have the feeling of Taoist bone fairy style at all. On the contrary, he gave people a creepy smell. How to say it? It was a bit like the eunuch and father-in-law in "New Longmen Inn", which always gave people a very cold smell. Even the lights in the teahouse became much dim due to his appearance.

After Taoist Tang Chen came out, he did not mean to say hello to Xu Xingxia. He looked as if he did not take a person like Xu Xingxia into consideration. Wang Qinian said that he came to Weizhen Fort to make a living, but Xu Xingxia could guarantee that Wang Qinian must have said it wrong. Judging from the old Taoist priest’s meaning, he was almost the same in front of him.

Miss Azhu stood up, saluted respectfully to her master, and then smiled and said, "Xu Baihu, this is the little girl's master, and her magic name is Tang Chen."

Xu Xingxia was stunned again. The Dharma name Tang Chen? Shouldn’t Taoist people be called Taoist? Only Buddhists call it Taoist. Could it be that Miss Azhu said it wrong? No, Miss Azhu looked like a kind-hearted woman with a gentle and delicate appearance, but in fact she was crystal clear inside. How could she say it wrong? Since she was not wrong, it was Taoist Master Tang Chen, which was indeed a bit strange.
