Chapter 37 Dagger

That night, Zhou Chengye chose to stay in Chenji Restaurant and slept in the same room with Baoshun brothers. Since someone has begun to follow the Zhou family, he will not easily fall into danger based on the vigilance developed by Zhou Chengye's military background in his previous life.

Lying on the mat, Zhou Chengye couldn't fall asleep for a while. He thought about the series of things that happened today, and speculated about the troubles and problems that he and the Zhou family might face next.

First of all, when Zhou Chengye bought a group of children so much at the gathering, people would definitely ask who his son was and where he got the huge amount of money. When everyone knew that he was on Tuesday, they would naturally ask when the censor Zhou Ziliang made a fortune, and suddenly he took such a generous move. If this matter cannot be explained clearly, it will have a negative impact on Zhou Ziliang's official voice, which is not a good thing.

Secondly, Zhou Chengye wrote a poem before leaving the Sun Family Medical Center. Although he was in a hurry, he fell into the eyes and ears of those who went to see the hospital. In the future, rumors about him will increase explosively. After all, not all the young masters can make such amazing masters, and not all the young masters can put down their airs and be a malaria-deep maid, and both virtue and art are good and strong.

In the end, he made such a big noise, which really covered up the origin of Zhang Yan and Zhang Xiu, but pushed Chen Ji Restaurant in front. Zhou Chengye believed that after this night, those who are interested will definitely stare at Chen Ji in Dongshi in the future, and maybe they will secretly stumbling.

It is said that "the soldiers come to block the enemy, and the water comes to cover the earth", and Zhou Chengye is not very worried about the troubles he may encounter in the future. Because he knew that as long as the Zhou family wanted to rise strongly in Chang'an City, they would definitely be excluded and suppressed by the inherent forces. In this process, they could also unite and win over a new force. Although they would have endless fighting and endless means, they would have to depend on who has a more profound knowledge of their Taoism.

Just when Zhou Chengye was about to fall asleep, he heard Baoshun reminding him softly: "Erlang, the third lady of the Yang family asked you to go to Leiyouyuan tomorrow, but don't forget it! Look at that sister, I'm really moved by you."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Chengye suddenly remembered the "bending over" style of seeing Yang Yuyao that day, and his sleepiness disappeared. Zhou Chengye asked Baoshun curiously: "Hey, I'm worried about the story of the Yang family's three-mother playing a puzzle with me. How did you know that she was asking me to meet tomorrow?"

Baoshun muttered, "Didn't they say it clearly in the letter? Have you read that letter seriously?"

Zhou Chengye was a little confused and didn't care about Baoshun's sneak peeking at his letters. He took out the short letter paper to look at it repeatedly. He saw that the eight words "Guiwei Month, Xinchou Day, Yuyao", were indeed written on it. So he said in confusion: "Just like these few words, how can we say we will meet tomorrow?"

Baoshun turned over and pointed at the "Xin Chou Day" on the letter with his finger, and then said, "Second brother, today is the month of Guiwei, Renyin Day. Tomorrow is the month of Guiwei, Xin Chou Day. Do you understand now?"

Zhou Chengye suddenly realized. It turned out that he habitually understood the time written by Yang Yuyao with the heavenly stems and earthly branches to express the time as the date the writer wrote on the day, but he did not carefully convert it into the specific lunar month. To be honest, he, who is used to the solar calendar, really doesn't know how to use this method of timing the heavenly stems and earthly branches, otherwise he wouldn't have let Baoshun, who had never read books, make a joke.

"Then she still didn't say when she met on Leyouyuan!" Zhou Chengye said with some depression.

"Second brother, please use more snacks in matters between men and women in the future? Today is the day of the Great Heat, and the weather will be as hot tomorrow. She can't ask you to meet at noon. If you meet in the early morning, you will be almost noon, so she is asking you to meet there in the evening!" Baoshun looked at his second cousin with a look of "contempt", thinking that this guy is finally not as good as himself.

There was nothing to say that night, and early the next morning, Zhou Chengye took Liu Shisan's carriage back to Yongpingli. Since the date was in the afternoon, he still had time to prepare well, so he could not go to see the heart-warming Sanniang of the Yang family.

Back at the mansion, Zhou Chengye saw several Kunlun slaves cleaning the yard, Zhang Ying and Zhang Xiu were exercising with four boys of similar age. The little girl rescued by him was also sitting quietly under the shade of the tree in the backyard, listening to Zhou Chengyue telling her stories with all his attention.

It seems that everyone quickly adapted to the quiet and easy-going lifestyle of Zhou's mansion.

Zhou Chengye found the butler Axiang and asked, "Did you ever Ansheng in the mansion last night? How is the thief locked in the woodshed now?"

Axiang replied: "There is nothing wrong in the mansion for a night. These Kunlun slaves have entered the Zhou mansion. You don't have to worry about the safety of the mansion in the future. The guy named "Qing Rat" is honest. He knows that if you want to survive, you have to be obedient, so he stays in the woodshed. I arranged a Kunlun slave to live with him, so that he can be sure of everything."

"Uncle Xiang, I want to confirm with you again. Are these Kunlun slaves really good at martial arts? Can they protect me safe?" Zhou Chengye asked Axiang with a serious look on his face.

Axiang nodded and replied solemnly: "As long as there are three or four people guarding you, unless you encounter a very powerful assassin, ordinary sluts and gangsters, you will not be able to get close to you at all!"

"Can they use weapons?" Zhou Chengye asked again.

"Although I am not proficient in swords, guns, swords and halberds, I can kill people if I get them in my hands." A Xiang replied.

"Can I equip them with weapons?"

"The Tang Law stipulates that 'armor crossbows, spears' and other things are not allowed to be owned by private parties, but equipped with several short swords that fight in close combat will not violate the law."

"Okay, I understand. I'll go to the blacksmith shop now and find some short blades for them to defend themselves. In the afternoon, I'm going to Leyouyuan to ask Uncle Xiang to help me arrange a few Kunlun slaves with better skills."

Zhou Chengye was very concerned about his safety. He braved the scorching heat and went to the largest blacksmith shop in the West City. He spent ten tons of money to let the masters in the blacksmith shop create ten weird-style daggers on the spot according to the patterns they had drawn by themselves. The daggers were also equipped with decorative scabbards, which made the cold-shining blades and blood grooves hidden under the wooden sheaths.

According to Zhou Chengye's design, these daggers, which are somewhat similar to those of later military spears, can be hung around the waist as decorative objects, and are not too eye-catching in normal times. Once in danger, these short daggers are not as powerful as swords, but can also be used as weapons for killing.

When he returned to the mansion, Zhou Chengye first gave each of the Zhang brothers a dagger. After seeing this, the two brothers loved it very much and immediately hung it on their waists. The other eight Kunlun slaves were personally awarded the daggers by Axiang. Before that, Axiang deliberately explained it with the "bird song" that others could not understand.
