Chapter 132: Make a gambling vow not to marry for two years to calm down grievances and fighting in the ring
"O beautiful girl! Since your Uncle Wang wants to watch your dancing skills, you are also prevaricating, go ahead! Hehe! The middle-aged man said with a smile to Xiao Meiniang beside him. In this era, the people's customs are relatively open, and there are many rich women who practice dancers, and they are often proud of their elders dancing.
Xiao Meiniang got up, and then bypassed the guests from the back to go backstage to prepare.
"Your Royal Highness, Wang Rong will introduce to you, this is the son of the king of Houliang, inheriting the prince, and now Xiao Yue, a famous man in Jingxiang. Fang Cai, that woman is his beloved daughter, in the Jingxiang area, and even my Da Sui can be described as a famous talented girl Xiao Meiniang. We'll be able to watch it dance for a while. Wang Shichong introduced Yang Er in a low voice. In fact, Yang Er already knew in his heart that this middle-aged man was Xiao Yue, because this woman was too famous, and her reputation far surpassed that of her father.
Under Wang Shichong's hospitality, Yang Er accompanied the Chinese people to drink two glasses, this wine is not the Wuliangchun that he often drinks, but a local low-alcohol wine, the degree is not high but the taste is still good, for Yang Er, who has already drunk one at noon, it is just right to drink this wine.
With another burst of music, the guests stopped their glasses and looked in the direction of the dancers. A beautiful scenery that made Yang Er feel suffocated appeared.
Look at that Xiao Meiniang: the golden cloud smoke shirt is embroidered with elegant orchids, the yellow ancient pattern double butterfly cloud-shaped thousand water skirt that mops the floor, and the mist veil of Bixia Luo peony is held in her hand. The clouds are ethereal, wearing a hollow orchid bead hairpin, the face is as charming as the moon, and the eyes are full of anticipation and seductiveness.
What kind of music, what kind of dancing, Yang Er didn't care at all, just stared at Xiao Meiniang, who was as beautiful as Chang'e in the middle of the month, as if she had been immobilized, motionless. All this was seen by the treacherous and cunning Wang Shichong, and he couldn't help but laugh secretly in his heart.
After the dance was over, Xiao Meiniang retreated, and the hall erupted into a burst of applause, which also made Yang Er's soul that had been taken away return to its place, and he breathed a long sigh of relief, and his mood gradually began to calm down. Raise a glass and smile and invite Wang Shichong to drink together.
"Your Royal Highness, this mansion has a very close personal relationship with Prince Xiao, and this Xiao Meiniang and my sister are also close friends. I see that His Royal Highness has a love for the beautiful girl, and this house intends to be a matchmaker from it to match His Highness's marriage, I don't know what His Highness wants? Wang Shichong doesn't beat around the bush, this Xiao Meiniang is also what he watched grow up, and his friend Xiao Yue is also a declining prince, if he can match his friend and daughter with the current prince Jin Wang, it is also a good match. Besides, this King of Jin is 16 years old, handsome and chic, tall and strong, and noble. and has a very good impression of Xiao Meiniang, if the two are happy, it can be called a good relationship.
"Don't hide it from Uncle Wang, the little nephew has long had this intention, and the queen mother is often anxious about the little nephew's marriage. If you can marry Xiao Meiniang as your wife, you should be the original wife of this king. I hope my uncle will be perfect! After that, Yang Er put down the wine glass and gave Wang Shichong a deep salute, which can be regarded as giving enough face to the gate valve of this place.
"Your Highness, rest assured, it's all on the mansion, and after the banquet, the mansion should personally talk to Xiao Yue." After that, Wang Shichong picked up the wine glass and drank with Yang Er.
At this point, Yang Er's mind was no longer here, and he was full of excitement. I really didn't expect to be able to pick up a fairy-like daughter-in-law when I came to Luoyang. There are many beautiful women in this world, but the only one who can touch her heart is this Xiao Meiniang. This may have been arranged by God a long time ago.
It doesn't matter how the banquet ends or how he returns to the Peony Pavilion Suite. It's up to tomorrow. Yang Er smiled and half-dreamed until dawn.
Wang Bodang and Xie Yingdeng waited in the hall downstairs early in the morning, and saw Yang Er coming downstairs. Busy stepping forward to resign, the two of them also took on the mission of Shan Xiongxin of Erxian Village, and wanted to go all the way to the green forest village to inform the owners of each village to prepare birthday gifts and prepare to gather in Qinfu, Jeju, Shandong. Yang Er was also inconvenient to keep the two of them, but he mentioned the matter entrusted yesterday again. Wang Bodang and Xie Yingdeng nodded in response.
Not long after Wang and Xie left, a float dressed in flowers came to the door of the Peony Pavilion Restaurant surrounded by more than ten slaves, which had already alarmed the merchants and people in the restaurant. After Yang Er got the news, he hurriedly went out to greet him, and saw that the young county king who was in the limelight at the poetry competition yesterday went out to greet him in person, and Wang Qingying hurriedly pulled Xiao Meiniang from the car to get off the car together, but Xiao Meiniang's face was flushed, and she was ashamed like a blooming pink peony, and everyone loved her.
"Chitose Lord, this girl has sent the promised reward, and the next three days of the city flower party will be accompanied by my two sisters, hurry up and get in the car." Wang Qingying is worthy of being a lady who has seen the world, and she is not reserved at all, and when she saw Yang Er coming out, she asked him to get in the car quickly.
Yang Er was actually pampering himself early in the morning, because last night Wang Shichong would definitely tell Xiao Yu about his love for Xiao Meiniang, if nothing else, his marriage to Xiao Meiniang would be a sure thing. Looking at his beautiful and handsome face in the bronze mirror, Yang Er was full of confidence.
There were only three people who rode all the way to escort them this time, they were Zhong Jian, Lai Hu'er and Yu Wenhua Dragon. Chuchen and the maid Abeyi stayed in the room and failed to accompany them, which caused the little maid Abeiyi to be very dissatisfied, and kept muttering about Izuchen, but Izuchen meditated in the room with a look of indifference, and ignored the little resentful woman who kept nagging.
"Mei Niang, this king has entrusted Uncle Wang as a matchmaker at the banquet yesterday, and wants to marry a beautiful girl as his wife, I don't know if Mei Niang is willing to fulfill the king's wishes?" In the car, after experiencing the initial embarrassment, Yang Er saw that the second daughter was silent, so he spoke directly. As soon as I saw the beautiful girl's demeanor today, I knew that her father Xiao Yue had probably told her about his idea of marrying her, otherwise Xiao Meiniang's face would not have been red, and she didn't dare to look up at him.
"Chitose Lord, my sister can be said to be the most beautiful woman in the world, if you want to marry into the royal family, you must also be a queen, the prince is just a prince with an outer title, how can she be worthy of my royal sister? Hum! Xiao Meiniang's face blushed from the original pink to red, not like a peony but more like a ripe red apple. Before she could answer, Wang Qingying, who was holding her arm, took the lead to speak for her.
"Why can't Miss Wang be the emperor when she sees this king?" Yang Er was unhappy when he heard Wang Qingying's words, of course, this is not bad, of course the political marriage seeks to maximize interests, and he does seem to have insufficient weight, which is like a basin of cold water that sobers Yang Er up, so he asked coldly.
"Chitose Lord, everyone in the world knows that the prince is the prince today, and he will be the emperor one day after listening to the government for a long time. Why don't you see Chitose accompanying you? Wang Qingying said coldly with some playfulness, accompanied by a look of disdain.
Yang Er saw that he just wanted to step forward and slap her stinky face, so he suppressed his anger and said fiercely: "Since Miss Wang said so, why don't you and I bet on it, how about it?" ”
"What's the gambling method?" Wang Qingying relied on her brother's momentum, looked at Yang Er fearlessly and asked, Xiao Meiniang beside her kept tugging at the corners of her clothes, looking anxious.
"Then it will be limited to two years, if this king ascends the throne, in addition to marrying Xiao Meiniang as his wife, this king wants you to marry as a concubine, do you dare to respond?" Yang Er stared at Wang Qingying's eyes and said with a hideous expression. This really made Yang Er angry, a good thing, but halfway through the trouble, Cheng Biting Jinlai made it difficult. It's okay, since you want to be strong, you must be prepared to put yourself on the same page.
"This ---" When Wang Qingying heard that it was this kind of gambling contract, she was stunned and fell into a dilemma and couldn't answer. Born in a strong place, she knows the terrible consequences of this gambling contract, if she should make a gambling contract, it will be a crime of rebellion to spread it. If not, wouldn't it be a slap in the face and how to meet people in the future.
"Humph! Whether you should or not, this bet should not be passed on to the fourth person, otherwise, you should know the consequences. This is the end of today's matter, and this king has lost Yaxing. Miss Xiao, you are not in a hurry to respond to this king's marriage, but this king will not allow you to marry within two years, and then you will receive an edict from this king to welcome you into the palace. If you marry privately behind the back of this king, hum! This king will destroy your nine tribes. Miss Wang, you are the same, you are not allowed to talk about marriage for two years, and you will wait for this king at home. With that, Yang Er turned around and lifted the curtain of the carriage, and jumped off without waiting for the carriage to stop, which really startled Zhong Jian and Yu Wenhualong next to the carriage, and hurriedly jumped off the horse and surrounded Yang Er. The Lai Hu'er in front of him was also busy riding his horse back and came over to ask what was going on.
"Damn, Lao Tzu was underestimated and put a hot face on his cold ass. Zhong Jian brought the king's horse over. Yang Er's face was so blue that both eyes were about to erupt with fire, and he sharply ordered Zhong Jian to lead the horse.
Zhong Jian, Hualong and Lai Hu'er had never seen their master make such a fire, and they were so frightened that no one dared to ask, Zhong Jian hurriedly led Yang Er's jujube red horse from his war horse.
"What are you doing! Get on the horse and go. After Yang Er finished yelling, he flew on the horse, hit the horse and galloped forward, regardless of whether he would knock over passers-by. The three generals hurriedly followed, not leaving a single step.
4 people and 4 horses, galloping aimlessly, unconsciously came to a crossroads, where the flow of people was too dense, and there were many people in front of them, and the road was no longer passable. Yang Er reined in his horse and looked ahead. I saw that a high platform was actually set up in the open space of the intersection square, and a large yellow flag was erected on the high platform, with a big "beat" word written on it, and two or three men sat under it, not knowing what was being discussed. Yang Er felt unhappy in his heart, and his depressed mood was much better.
"Huh! I didn't know that during the Luoyang Flower Festival, there were heroes in the rivers and lakes who set up a ring here, which was a bit interesting. After speaking, Yang Er threw off the horse, threw the horsewhip to the Yu Wenhua Dragon behind him, and then strode towards the direction of the ring. Yu Wenhualong felt that his martial arts were not proficient, so he took over the war horses of Zhong Jian and Laihu'er, and led him to the side of the road alone to find a wooden stake to tie the four horses, and he guarded the horses here, looking at the high ring from a distance.
All three of them were physically strong, and a few squeezes were caught in the middle of the crowd. At this time, I saw a strong man who was originally sitting on the edge of the ring, clasped his fists and shouted to the crowd below: "You have walked by the heroes of the rivers and lakes, heroic heroes, I Zuo Tiancheng, some time ago I cast in the account of the king of Luoyang, although there is some brute force kung fu, but the birth is cheap, Meng Dashuai looks down on me, intends to carry it, and orders me to set up a fight here, if no one has won me on stage within 6 days, I will promise myself a flag in the army." Today is the 6th day, but unfortunately I haven't met a really good guy yet. I have promised here fifty taels of silver, not much, and whoever wins me will take it to tea. It's noon now, I wonder if anyone in the audience dares to attack on stage? After that, this man named Zuo Tiancheng took off his shirt, revealing his tendons and flesh, and looked at everyone in the audience with a contemptuous smile.
Zuo Tiancheng? Yang Er seems to have seen this name in "The Legend of Xingtang". seems to be really a general under Wang Shichong, the king of Luoyang, but later voted for Sui and became the general of the guard next to Emperor Yang of Sui. Yang Er's thinking is getting clearer and clearer, it's him. In the future, he will become the deputy of Laihu'er, and will be the commander of the left and right guards of Yang Guangzhong's army. It's just that this person was unlucky and died early in the hands of the mighty sea, and there are not many words about him in "The Biography of Xingtang", although he is a soy sauce character, but it seems that his kung fu is not worse than that of Laihuer.
Yang Er was full of resentment towards Wang Qingying, and couldn't help but transfer this resentment to his brother Wang Shichong, so he said to Laihu'er: "Today is unlucky, then Wang Shichong's family provoked this king, and this bird anger will come out of this guy." With that, he pushed aside the crowd in front of him, rushed forward a few steps, stepped on a step and went up, and jumped steadily onto the ring. caused a burst of applause from the audience.
"Huh! It's really rare, on this last day, there are people who don't know each other who dare to come to bad grandpa and my good deeds, no matter who comes, report your name, first go to the table and sign the life and death documents and then come to the competition. Zuo Tiancheng saw that it was a teenage boy who jumped up, so he looked disdainful and said with a sneer.
"Folks, my surname is Yang Mingkuo, a person from Chang'an, and I passed by today to meet this hero." After that, he turned around and walked to the table, didn't look at it, and marked the document with a few strokes. Fu returned to the center of the ring, lifted the hem of the robe and tied it at his waist, and gestured to look at Zuo Tiancheng on the side.
Zuo Tiancheng saw that he was tall and weak, so he stepped forward to attack first. A set of serial combination punches was a tiger and a tiger, but they were all dodged by Yang Er, and they never touched a single punch. On the contrary, taking advantage of the gap exposed under the ribs after his rush to attack, a left whip kick hit Zuo Tiancheng's ribs, and immediately kicked Zuo Tiancheng sideways and staggered a few steps. Zuo Tiancheng couldn't help but be taken aback, he didn't dare to attack with his fists, but turned to leg kicks, a continuous chain of legs, the kicks were impenetrable, and Yang Er had to retreat again and again, and he was about to retreat to the edge of the ring. Maybe it was that Zuo Tiancheng thought he was going to win, and he was anxious to kick the opponent off the stage directly with one leg, but his legs were not coherent, and his flying right leg kicked straight to Yang Er's chest. Seeing this, Yang Er was on the side of his body, and his hands suddenly grabbed the right leg wrist that Zuo Tiancheng sent to his chest, and then a set of coherent left hand wrenching ankles, and turned around to the side, Zuo Tiancheng's left foot on the ground could not stabilize his body, and he was suddenly thrown out 8 meters away by the powerful Yang Er and fell on the stage. The crowd suddenly erupted in cheers.
Lai Hu'er and Zhong Jian also kept praising each other's grappling skills. After seeing that the blow was successful, Yang Er did not follow up to attack, but walked to Taichung and looked at Zuo Tiancheng, who was panting and fell on the stage.
