Seeing the crowd disperse, Xu Zhutao and the others also left.
On the way back, Shangguan Wanqian was very happy. She did not expect the Dragon Abyss Sword to recognize her as its master. She was actually the person with the greatest fortune. She secretly made up her mind to practice her swordsmanship better and more outstanding so that this sword would not be in vain.
When they returned to the restaurant, they went back to their rooms.
The next day, Lunan Shuangying found Xu Zhutao and chatted with him before leaving.
Two days later, Peng Zhengyi still did not bring any news.
At noon, Xu Zhutao and Zhao Yumei went to the lobby for lunch. When they saw Shangguan Wanqian's aunt, Zhao Yumei invited her to eat with her, and she did not refuse.
Only then did Xu Zhutao have the chance to seriously size up this woman. He had to admit that she was also a rare beauty. She looked like she was in her thirties and was wearing a tight white dress. Her eyebrows were curved, her nose was small and delicate, her eyes were bright, her teeth were white, her cheeks were round, her lips were thin, her neck was slender and fair, her breasts were towering, and her legs were round and slender. When she sat down, they were tightly clamped together. The most rare thing was that she actually had a pair of small three-inch golden lotuses hidden in a pair of white embroidered shoes.
"Aunt Shangguan, why don't I see Miss Shangguan coming out to eat?" Xu Zhutao asked.”
The woman said,"That girl, ever since she got the treasured sword, she's been hugging it all day. She said that she would work hard to practice her swordsmanship and that she would defeat you in the future."”
Xu Zhutao said," It's great that Miss Shangguan is so motivated. But I'm a nobody. Why would she want to defeat me?"”
The woman sighed and said,"I've seen your martial arts. She won't be a match for you even if she practices for a few more years.”
Zhao Yu frowned." That might not be the case. I think that girl has great perseverance. Her future is limitless."”
The woman stared at Zhao Yu's face and said,"It'll be difficult, unless she can meet a great teacher like Fairy Zhao.”
"When did you recognize me?" Zhao Yu asked.”
The woman said," Ever since I saw the kung fu Young Master Xu used to punish Li Shanrong, and then I saw his and your kung fu at the Buried Sword Lake, especially your Lightness Skill, if it wasn't for the top martial arts skill, the Wind and Rain, what kind of Lightness Skill could be so fast and agile? Then I saw your appearance, and your surname was Zhao. With all these factors combined, I knew that you were Fairy Zhao."”
"You Jade Rakshasa Shangguan Qing, you have good eyesight!" Zhao Yu laughed and scolded.”
"Ah!" Xu Zhutao was surprised. So, Aunt Shangguan, you are Jade Raksha, the one who broke into Zhizhou Prefecture at night, killed the passers-by while drunk, led the group of heroes to fight against the Japanese pirates, and destroyed the Bliss Palace! I've heard of your heroic deeds since I was young, and I admire you very much!”
He had indeed admired this heroine since he was young. However, Jade Rakshasa Shangguan Qing rarely mentioned her real name when she traveled in Jianghu. Therefore, when people in Jianghu mentioned her, they could only say Jade Rakshasa but did not know her real name. On the contrary, the people in eastern Zhejiang knew that Jade Rakshasa was Miss Shangguan Qing from Lingnan Shangguan Castle.
Jade Rakshasa let out a soft laugh and said,""Don't be like this. I'm indeed Jade Rakshasa. I'm not the only one who can do what you said. The narrow sense of traveling in the martial world was the most important. These achievements were not worth boasting about.”
Xu Zhutao stood up and bowed deeply to her. He said,"That's not true. Senior's righteous deeds are enough to make most men in the world feel ashamed. I've admired Senior since I was young and once vowed to take Senior as my role model. It's truly my honor to meet Senior today!”
Jade Raksha saw his sincere face and knew that he was not lying. She was quite proud of herself. She did not expect that she had become a role model for the younger generation. She held Xu Zhutao's hand affectionately and said,"Sit down, we'll talk slowly.”
As for Jade Rakshasa Shangguan Qing, she was an orphan adopted by the old mistress of Shangguan Castle, Gu Yanran. When she was still young, she was betrothed by Gu Yanran to a family of officials in eastern Zhejiang. Because she was going to marry into a family of officials, Gu Yanran made Shangguan Qing wear a pair of three-inch golden lotuses. Not only was she well-read, but she had also learned a lot of tactics and formations from the books. She also loved martial arts, and her martial arts skills were also good. She was on par with her adopted brother Shangguan Song.
When she was 18 years old, she was escorted by her adopted brother, Shangguan Song, to marry into the east of Zhejiang Province. On the night of their wedding, before they could have sex, the Japanese pirates invaded. The Japanese pirates were numerous and skilled in martial arts. They killed a dozen Japanese pirates in the groom's house. Shangguan Qing, who was wearing a wedding dress and holding a sword, killed more and more Japanese pirates. Shangguan Qing was seriously injured even though she was outnumbered.
Seeing her husband's entire family being slaughtered, Shangguan Qing killed a few more Japanese pirates and finally collapsed to the ground. She was afraid of being insulted by the Japanese pirates and was about to commit suicide with her sword when she saw Shangguan Song enter the house after killing a few Japanese pirates and shouted,"Sister! No!" He carried her on his back and charged out.
It turned out that Shangguan Song knew that the Japanese pirates were unstoppable when they invaded, so he went out to prepare two fast horses and came back to save Shangguan Qing. Shangguan Song and his sister rode on a horse. When they arrived at a safe place, Shangguan Qing was still crying her heart out and was about to commit suicide when Shangguan Song scolded,"Why is Younger Sister so stupid? Why did you learn military strategies and martial arts? Why don't you leave this useful body to kill all the Japanese pirates in the future to avenge this great hatred?”Shangguan Qing woke up from her dream.
Later on, Shangguan Qing led the Jianghu heroes to fight against the Japanese pirates in Donghai many times and beat them back many times. The most glorious achievement was that less than 70 Jianghu people beat back more than 500 invading Japanese pirates, wiped out more than 100 enemies, and injured countless enemies. The Japanese pirates were defeated.
The common people in the eastern Zhejiang region saw that Shangguan Qing was extremely beautiful and fierce when she killed the Japanese pirates, so they gave her the title of "Jade Raksha". Raksha was an evil spirit, and the word "Yu" was added to describe Shangguan Qing's beauty. From then on, Jade Raksha became the nightmare of the pirates and the protector of many people along the southeast coast. The name of Jade Raksha spread throughout the country.
There was a prefect in Fujian who was corrupt and had colluded with the Japanese pirates to cause trouble. Some people wanted to report the matter to the governor, but before they could see the governor, they were caught and killed by the people sent by the prefect. Shangguan Qing was filled with righteous indignation when she learned of this matter. She broke into the Zhizhou's mansion at night and killed the dog official and the people who harmed the people. When the news spread, the people were delighted. Therefore, the story of Shangguan Qingye breaking into the Zhizhou Mansion was widely spread in Jianghu.
In the past, there was a pervert called the pink-faced man. He was handsome and had a pink face and peach-like cheeks. He often disguised himself as a woman to get close to some young ladies. After getting close, he would ask the women to drink together and then take the opportunity to get the women drunk and pick flowers.
People in Jianghu, regardless of gender, wanted to kill this man to eliminate the evil in Jianghu. However, because the pink-faced man's disguise was really brilliant, his face changed thousands of times. No one could catch him. Later, when he met Shangguan Qing, he was tempted by such a beautiful woman, so he used the same trick again.
Jade Rakshasa first pretended to take the bait and then pretended to be drunk. When he was about to pick flowers, she took out the short sword hidden under the pillow and cut off his head. This was what it meant to kill the pink-faced man. The pink-faced man did not know that the person he met that time was the famous Jade Rakshasa. Otherwise, even if he had ten guts, he would not dare to provoke Jade Rakshasa.
The three of them chatted happily while eating. Shangguan Qing asked,""Fairy Zhao, I think Qian 'er likes you. The Palace of Goddess's Starmoon Swordsmanship is extensive and profound. When you're free, can you give Qian 'er some pointers on her swordsmanship?”
"Don't let her know who I am…I'm pretending to be this kid's cousin. If you agree, I can give her some pointers." Zhao Yu frowned.”
"Of course," Jade Raksha said. I won't tell Qian 'er. I'll call you Miss Zhao from now on."”
"Alright then," Zhao Yu said, frowning."I'm going to buy something on the street with this kid." When I'm free, I'll go see that girl. Do you want to go shopping together?"
" I have some things to buy too," Jade Raksha said." But I have to deliver food to Qian 'er later." You guys go ahead. I'll accompany you guys next time.”
After dinner, Zhao Yumei pulled Xu Zhutao to the street. The street was bustling with people, and it was Xu Zhutao's first time shopping.
"Martial Uncle, what do we want to buy?" Xu Zhutao asked.”
"Did you bring enough clothes for you to change into?" Zhao Yu asked, pinching his nose.”
"Martial Uncle, where can I buy those clothes?" Xu Zhutao asked.”
Zhao Yu pulled Xu Zhutao to a stall and asked,"Excuse me, uncle, where can I find a cloth shop in this town?”
The old man raised his head and saw that it was an extremely beautiful woman asking the question. His eyes lit up and he said,"Go straight ahead, turn right at the first intersection and you will reach Longchang Cloth Store.”
Zhao Yu thanked Xu Zhutao and left. Not far away, he could still hear the old man muttering,"Could it be Hu Immortal? Does Hu Immortal also need to make clothes?”
The two of them followed the old man's instructions and quickly found Longchang Cloth Shop. When they reached the door, they saw a chubby middle-aged man standing behind the counter. On the shelves by the wall, there were rolls of all kinds of fabrics, colorful, silk, silk, satin, gauze, silk... There was everything. Xu Zhutao was dazzled by the sight.
The fat shopkeeper was stunned when he saw Zhao Yumei's appearance. Then, he saw a young man following behind her. He walked out and said,"What kind of cloth do you want to buy?"
"How much is a piece of silk cloth here?" Zhao Yu asked. How much is a piece of gauze?"
"Five cents for a bolt of silk cloth and six cents for gauze," said the fat shopkeeper. Please take your pick."
Zhao Yumei found a roll of white gauze, a roll of light green gauze, a roll of white silk, and a roll of sapphire blue satin. He placed them on the counter and asked,"That's all. Shopkeeper, may I ask where the best tailor shop is?”
The fat shopkeeper narrowed his eyes and looked at Zhao Yu, then said,"The best one is Third Aunt Du's Lanting Tailor Shop. Go out the door and turn left until you reach the second fork in the road and walk another 300 feet.”
Zhao Yu paid the bill and asked Xu Zhutao to bring the cloth with him. Soon, he found Lanting Tailor Shop. He saw two women working in the shop. One was cutting the cloth, and the other was embroidering.
"Is the owner of your shop, Third Aunt Du, here?" Zhao Yu asked.”
"Yes, sir. Please wait for a moment. I'll call her out."”She walked into the courtyard and soon brought out a young woman in her thirties.
The young woman walked steadily. Her face was round and without makeup, and her eyes were as watery as autumn water. She was wearing a fiery red chiffon dress. As she walked out, she said,"Customer, do you want to make clothes?"
He looked around and saw a young and handsome man and a stunning beauty. He said,"Aiyo, what a perfect match." As she spoke, she looked at Zhao Yumei a few more times. She was already pretty, but she was still very attracted to Zhao Yumei's appearance.
"Are you Third Aunt Du?" Zhao Yu asked."I need you to make some clothes."”
"That's right, I am Third Aunt Du." What clothes do you want to make? Follow me in.”
The two of them followed Third Aunt Du to the back of the courtyard. They saw that there were four rooms lined up in front of them. Two of them had curtains hanging at the door, and the other two rooms had women working. There were three rooms on the left of the courtyard, two of which had curtains hanging. There were also three rooms on the right, and two of them had curtains hanging.
Third Aunt Du walked to a room on the right and picked up a pen and paper to wait. She said,"What clothes do the two of you want to make?”
The two of them walked over, and Zhao Yu frowned. I've brought four rolls of cloth, a roll of light green gauze to make a gauze skirt for me, a roll of royal blue satin and a roll of white silk to make a long gown for my cousin, two sets of clothes made of these two colors, a roll of white gauze…""Make me undergarments. Make as many sets as you can." After saying that, two red flowers flew up from her face, and she was extremely shy.
Third Aunt Du wrote quickly on the paper with a pen. Her handwriting was beautiful and long, fresh and elegant. After she finished writing, she smiled and said,"I've remembered everything. Who would like to measure first?"
"Take my measure first," Zhao Yu said.”
Zhao Yumei and Third Aunt Du went into the house with a curtain. After a while, Zhao Yumei came out with a shy face and said to Xu Zhutao,"Go in and let him take your measurements. Only when the measurements are accurate can the clothes be sewn to fit you.”
Xu Zhutao opened the curtain and saw Third Aunt Du was already inside. She looked at him with a smile and said,"Young Master, don't be shy. You don't have to take off your clothes.”
As she spoke, she took out a small soft ruler and circled it around his calf, then around his thigh. Then, she took the soft ruler to measure the length of his leg, hand, and shoulder width. She first took a pen and paper to note it down, then bent down to take the soft ruler and circled it around his buttocks.
Third Aunt Du stood up and took the soft ruler to measure his waist and then began to measure his chest. At this moment, the two of them were standing very close. Xu Zhutao could clearly feel Third Aunt Du's breathing. He could also see her round and snow-white breasts rising and falling with her breathing. He could not help but be a little fascinated.
Third Aunt Du had already finished measuring. Seeing the man in front of her staring at her chest in a daze, she could not help but feel embarrassed. Two red flowers instantly flew onto her face. She saw that the man had sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes. He was a handsome young man. She stood on her tiptoes and suddenly kissed Xu Zhutao on the lips. Then, she quickly left the room.
Xu Zhutao shook his head and left the room.
Seeing Third Aunt Du come out, Zhao Yu said,"When can I get these clothes?”
Third Aunt Du said,"You can get it tomorrow. I'll rush it for you."”
Zhao Yu smiled." Thank you, Sanniang. My cousin and I will be traveling soon, so the earlier, the better."”
Xu Zhutao and Zhao Yumei returned to Fengxiang Restaurant and asked the shopkeeper if anyone had come to see him. The shopkeeper said no.
Knowing that Peng Zhengyi was not here yet, he felt a little frustrated. He only had fifty taels of silver. If he continued to eat and drink in the restaurant every day, he would run out of money sooner or later. He went back to his room to cultivate his internal energy. It was only when he heard a knock on the door that he opened it and realized that it was Shangguan Wanqian.
"I haven't seen you for quite a while," Xu Zhutao said."Have you made any great achievements in kung fu, Master Shangguan?"”
" I'm here to treat you and Sister Zhao to a meal," Shangguan Wanqian said." I'm still waiting for Sister Zhao's guidance on my swordsmanship."”
It was the first time the four of them had a meal together. Yu Luosha and Shangguan Wanqian were very happy because Zhao Yumei had agreed to teach Shangguan Wanqian swordsmanship.
"I'm very happy today," Shangguan Wanqian said."Shall we have a drink?"”
Xu Zhutao looked at Zhao Yumei. Seeing her nod, he said,"Then drink some."
He asked the waiter to bring him a jar of top scholar's red wine and toasted to his heart's content. Xu Zhutao looked at the three beautiful women and found that they were all beautiful. He got even more drunk.
At noon the next day, the four of them sat at the same table again. Because it was daytime, they did not drink.
After the meal, Shangguan Wanqian pestered Zhao Yumei to teach her swordsmanship. Zhao Yumei had no choice but to let Xu Zhutao go to Third Aunt Du alone to retrieve the custom-made clothes.
Xu Zhutao arrived at Lanting Tailor Shop and walked into the shop. He saw the woman who cut cloth yesterday say,"The owner is in the backyard. You can go in and find her yourself.”
