The first emperor of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 105 Treating Guests as a Treasure Sword
Not long after, Xue Rengui returned to Powahan Kiln with a piece of pork and a jug of wine.

Seeing the meat in Xue Rengui's hand, Liu Yinhuan didn't feel anything.But seeing the jar of wine in Xue Rengui's hand, Liu Yinhuan showed a look of shock.

In the Tang Dynasty, there were eight liters of money for rice, so it was not a problem to buy a few catties of meat for five renminbi.What's more, what I bought was pork that only inferior people would eat.

But the price of this wine is different. Li Bai once said in his poem that the gold cup of sake is worth ten thousand, such a classic line.

Although the description in the poem is exaggerated, it can also be seen from this how expensive the wine is.

A small jar of ordinary rice wine (two catties of wine in a small jar, ten catties of wine in a large jar) costs at least a hundred Wen.If you want to buy Li Chengqian's Zhenguanzui, you will have to pay for a small jar of wine.

So Liu Yinhuan was a little surprised to see Xue Rengui returning with a small jar of wine.Looking down at Xue Rengui's waist, he couldn't help being surprised.

Then he asked Xue Rengui in a low voice: "Did you sell your ancestral Seven Star Knife?"

"Just put it in the pawn shop first, and wait for me to hunt for money, and then go to redeem it." Xue Rengui smiled and said to Liu Yinhuan.

After Liu Yinhuan sighed, he didn't say anything more.He reached out to pick up the pork and started to work.

It's just that they still cook boiled meat. After all, in this era, few people can eat meat like Li Chengqian.

Although the couple spoke in a low voice, they were still heard by Li Chengqian.This made Li Chengqian look at Xue Rengui even more highly.

It is only human nature for rich people to treat guests with big fish and meat, but people like Xue Rengui who can't eat three meals a day treat guests with all they have.

So the two are not the same. Today Xue Rengui gave Li Chengqian his ancestral Seven Star Knife to the pawnshop in order to entertain him.Not everyone has this courage.

And Li Chengqian suddenly thought of the name Qixingdao, which was the treasured sword used by Cao Cao to assassinate Dong during the Three Kingdoms period.Why did it spread to Xue Rengui?

Just when Li Chengqian didn't understand why, Xue Rengui had already walked over with a smile.And he opened his mouth and said to Li Chengqian: "The family is poor and there is nothing to entertain my brother, so please don't be offended."

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, just now I heard from my sister-in-law that Brother Xue has become the Seven Star Sword of the ancestors. Then what kind of treasure is this Seven Star Sword?" Li Chengqian waved his hand and said to Xue Rengui.

"This is a precious sword passed down from generation to generation by our ancestors. According to legend, Cao Cao used this seven-star sword to assassinate Dong during the Three Kingdoms period." Xue Rengui said to Li Chengqian.

"I also know something about the Three Kingdoms. It is said that the Seven Star Sword fell into Dong Zhuo's hands because Cao Cao failed to assassinate Dong."

"Later, Dong Zhuo died in the hands of Lu Bu, so the Seven Star Knife naturally fell into the hands of Lu Bu. I don't know why it fell into the hands of Brother Xue's ancestors?" Li Chengqian asked Xue Rengui.

"My ancestor was the uncle of Wenhou Lu Bu. So this precious sword naturally fell into the hands of my ancestor." Xue Rengui said with a smile.

(It is purely fabricated by Dragon Soul, so don't take it for granted.)
Hearing Xue Rengui's words, Li Chengqian couldn't help being surprised.He didn't expect Xue Rengui to be a descendant of Lu Bu's daughter, no wonder Fang Tian painted the halberd with such infatuation and innocence.

"I didn't expect Brother Xue's ancestor to be Marquis Wen's son-in-law. It seems that I was disrespectful." Li Chengqian hurriedly stood up, intending to salute Xue Rengui.

But he was stopped by Xue Rengui, and Xue Rengui said with a smile: "That happened hundreds of years ago, how can it be worth showing off now?"

"You are right in saying this, so what if his ancestors were the emperors of the Han Dynasty. It's not like they are poor and unable to afford three meals." At this moment, Liu Yinhuan walked over with the dishes and said with a smile.

"Since brother Xue is a descendant of Marquis Wen, how can he be a hunter in the mountains. Listen to me, it's better to join the army and make contributions." Li Chengqian said.

"Didn't I tell my brother just now, how can I join the army now that I have no savings at home. Besides, my wife is pregnant now." Xue Rengui shook his head and said.

"Brother, you persuade him. How many times have I told him that a man should serve the country, and a man who loves his wife and son can become a great weapon. It's a pity that he didn't pay attention to it." Liu Yinhuan shook his head and said.

"Brother Xue, sister-in-law Xue is right. Now Brother Xue is at a good age, if you delay like this, I'm afraid you will lose your fighting spirit." Li Chengqian nodded and said.

Hearing what Li Chengqian said, Xue Rengui couldn't help frowning.But looking at his wife Liu Yinhuan, he shook his head again.

And at this moment, Cheng Chuhuan suddenly stood up.Pointing at Li Chengqian, he said, "I've tolerated you for a long time. It's fine if you come in to eat or drink. Now you want to let the husband and wife separate. What kind of heart do you have?"

Li Chengqian was punished or asked out of the blue.For a moment, he was tongue-tied and didn't know how to answer.

"Sister, sit down quickly, and you won't be afraid that he will use family law against you again." Su Wan stretched out her hand to pull Cheng Chuhuan and said.

"Sister, don't you think he went too far today? He clearly knows that Big Brother Xue is reluctant to part with his wife, why didn't he help him?" Cheng Chuhuan said straightforwardly.

Hearing Chen Chuhuan's reluctance, Li Chengqian could only shake his head helplessly.Then asked Su Wan to take out a quill and letter paper, and wrote a letter on the spot.

And took out a jade seal from his bosom, and pressed it on the place where the letter was signed.

After putting the letter into the envelope, he wrote on the envelope a personal letter from Changsun Chong.Then it was handed over to Xue Rengui.

Xue Rengui took the letter and couldn't help but be puzzled.He looked at the letter in his hand, and then at Li Chengqian in front of him.

Then he opened his mouth and said, "I don't know what brother means?"

"Brother Xue took this letter and rushed to Chang'an City with Sister Xue. Hand this letter to Changsun Chong."

"And just tell him that Brother Xue's brother wrote him this letter." Li Chengqian said to Xue Rengui with a smile.

Although Li Chengqian did not reveal his identity.But Xue Rengui also knows Chengqian's identity, which is absolutely extraordinary.

After all, this Changsun Chong is the eldest son of Changsun Wuji, the emperor's son-in-law.How can people who can write to him be ordinary people.

So he bowed respectfully to Li Chengqian and said: "I, Xue Rengui, can't repay the kindness today. Please also tell the name of the benefactor, so that I can know whose kindness I have received."

"What's the difference between Zhang San and Li Si? As long as Brother Xue remembers that I'm your brother, that's enough. You and I will meet again someday." Li Chengqian said with a smile.
