Chapter 88: Ninety-Six: Plotting to Seize Food
Liangshan soldiers are strong and strong, there are many brave people, but grain and grass have become the biggest obstacle to restricting Liangshan's progress, Chao Gai has discussed the problem of grain and grass with Wang Yong, Wu Yong, Gongsun Sheng, Han Bolong several times, there is no food, you can't hold people, the people and horses can't show up, although Chao Gai has no big ambitions, but you can't watch the brothers starving.
It's just that Wu Yong only has the ability to peep at people's hearts, and his internal affairs ability is not enough, and Gongsun Sheng is even more so, when the two of them talk about how to raise food, they are at a loss, although Wang Yong has already had a belly case, but he did not rush to speak, but bowed his head and said nothing, peeking at Chao Gai them.
Wang Yong had long expected that there would be this day, and he had been letting Chao Gai and Wu Yong win over people, just for this day, only on this day, could Chao Gai and Wu Yong know who was the real master on the mountain.
This problem, when Jiao Ting went to Cangzhou Chai Zhuang to report the news, Sun Erniang told Chai Jin, so Chai Jin was prepared, he stood up, walked to the door, and ordered his subordinates, and the family went out for a while to bring in a burden.
Chai Jin took it, returned to the wine table, opened the bag little by little, inside was a brocade box, Chai Jin carefully opened the small box, and immediately several rays of light burst out, several people were shocked by the brilliant glow, so they came over together, looked towards the box, and saw a pink bead in the box.
Chai Jin said: "This is a Caixia night pearl, it was when our Chai family Shizong conquered the Southern Tang Dynasty, the queen of the Southern Tang Dynasty presented it to our ancestors, this night pearl is rare enough, and the usual night pearls are green, so the pink night pearl can be said to be eternal, I heard the old man in the family said, this bead is the original Solori country, presented to the national treasure of the Southern Tang Dynasty, I heard that it was a high monk in the depths of the sea to get it, I dare not say that such a bead is the only one in the world, but I dare to guarantee that in the country of the Great Song Dynasty, it is unique, even if you go to the palace of the official family, you can't find such a bead, I will use this bead as a dowry for our brother now, what do you think? ”
Su Yi was stupid, Wang Yong hurriedly stretched out his hand to cover the brocade box, and said, "Great official, this is absolutely unacceptable!" ”
Chai Jin said disapprerovitically: "A dead thing, our ancestors didn't take it seriously, and when they got back, they lost it in the treasure house in the palace, and they didn't play with it once, and then they ...... When I went out of the palace, I brought other things and brought this bead out, which is really nothing, if I can change a beautiful woman for my virtuous brother to come back, then it is serious. ”
Wang Yong really didn't know what to say, so he kept saying no.
Su Yi was also ashamed to say: "Big official, but you took this treasure first, I invited Brother Wang over, and I promised my sister to Brother Wang, but now I want to break the promise, this is something I can't do in Su Yi!" In this way, I will go to see my father, not asking for anything else, only asking him to give Brother Wang the same opportunity, I think with Brother Wang's ability, I will never lose to others! ”
Wu Song slapped his palm on the table and shouted: "Yes, manly man, how can we use the mercy of others, as long as there is an equal opportunity, we can naturally grasp it!" ”
Su Yi stood up and was about to leave, Chai Jin hurriedly went over and stuffed the bead into his hand, Su Yi was about to take it out, Chai Jin pressed his hand and said: "Okay, you can take it, and also add some chips to your speech, if you really can't use it, just take it back." ”
Su Yi took the beads, and came out from under himself, went straight to Su Dahu's study, knocked on the door and entered, and saw that Su Dahu and Su Liang were both there, and when he saw him come in, Su Dahu said: "I'm going to let someone go to you, you came just in time." ”
Su Yi said: "I don't know what my father is looking for me?" ”
Su Dahu said: "Isn't that home of the Chai family that you are receiving, you get along with him well, you must please him, no matter what they want to do, you must achieve his satisfaction." ”
Su Yi was obedient and said, "Daddy, have you promised him to marry his sister?" ”
Su Dahu shook his head and said, "It's because I didn't agree that I asked you to treat him well." ”
Su Yi was stunned at first, and then puzzled: "Daddy, what does this mean?" Su Liang on the side explained: "That's the case, tomorrow Daddy will arrange for them to draw lots, two in pairs, get the same red lottery to fight, and win to challenge the little sister, but among the six lots, there are two black lots, and the one who gets the black sign will be out of the game immediately, and Shi Bin will inevitably get the black lottery, so if he is not better than being kicked out of the game, he will definitely not accept it, so Dad will let you appease him." ”
Su Yi couldn't help but be anxious, and shouted: "Daddy, it was you who asked me to find out my sister's tone, and I knew that my sister was interested in Shi Bin, and then you asked me to send a letter to Shi Bin, asking him to come quickly, marry my sister, and save me trouble, but now for no reason, you have to kick him out, this ...... That's not quite right, is it? ”
Su Dahu said: "My father also knows that it is not good to do this, but his identity is ......, if he marries your little sister, it will not be good for your father, I am afraid that the Son of Heaven will no longer trust your father, and everything in our family depends on your father, so it is better to eliminate this person." ”
Su Liang also said: "Originally, my father and I thought he was a general, but now I know, but he is just a general, with such a low status, with the little sister is already a little sister, and he can't marry the little sister as a wife, this is too bullying, it's good not to blast him out directly." ”
Su Yi endured his anger and said: "Daddy, big brother, don't forget, how much trouble my sister made about this matter, with her sex, do you think she can't get what she wants, can this matter be over?" If you continue to make trouble, then you will really cause trouble for your father! ”
Su Liang said disapprerovingly: "Isn't everyone gone, what are you afraid of?" ”
Su Yi shouted: "Didn't you hear Su Yong say why people left? Du Deterrence and Shi Bin's force, this is the way to go! ”
Su Dahu frowned and said, "Okay, stop arguing!" He sighed and said, "He has solved the problem for our family, and I will naturally compensate him, but; This marriage is absolutely not good, your sister is still young and doesn't understand the reason of wives and concubines, in the future, she will know that I am for her good, just imagine a concubine, not the first, the Great Song Dynasty has a saying, concubines are bought and sold, are you waiting for her to be bought and sold enough! ”
Su Yi stomped his feet and said, "Shi Bin is not that kind of person!" ”
Su Liang sneered: "Can you guarantee it? And even if he is not that kind of person, the concubine is a servant, and the children he gives birth to are not his own, when the little sister is old and decrepit in the future, how can he live without that person's favor? ”
Su Yi saw that it didn't make sense, and he couldn't stop stomping his feet, he knew that this would make up his mind, so it wasn't that the bead in his arms could be recovered, on the contrary, taking it out by himself at this time could only arouse Su Liang's greed and detain the bead, but except for the beads, he had no way at all, and he couldn't help but change his expression in a hurry.
Su Dahu couldn't bear to look at his youngest son like this, so he waved his hand and said, "You can step down, I'll find another way to make up for him here." ”
Su Yi had no choice but to retreat, although he had a different status at home, but because he had always only practiced martial arts, no matter what mundane things were, everything was decided by his father and brother, this would really be irrefutable, but as soon as he came out, Su Yi thought that he had said a lot in front of Chai Jin, Wang Yong, Wu Song, and Jiao Ting, and he would go back, not to mention that Su Dahu agreed, and he didn't even give Wu Yong an equal opportunity, what could he say.
The more Su Yi thought about it, the more annoyed he became, so he stood up, sat on the steps on the side, thinking about what to do, and suddenly he had an idea, and said: "This matter must have been done by Daddy and eldest brother without telling Sister, so I seized the opportunity for Elder Sister to fight with Brother Wang, and I was able to move my hands and feet, and Elder Sister was dissatisfied afterwards, and they also had to say, since this is the case, then I will push this matter to Elder Sister." Thinking of this, Su Yi frowned, so he slipped from the front yard to the backyard and walked towards Su Jinniang's embroidery building.
Arrived at Su Jinniang's downstairs, Su Yi glanced upstairs, and saw that the light was still there, knowing that Su Jinniang had not slept yet, so he went upstairs, he and Su Jinniang were the best at home, this embroidery building often went in and out, Yahuan saw it, just shouted upstairs: "The third son has arrived!" "Remind Su Jinniang to save her from inconvenience, but it doesn't stop Su Yi.
Su Yi went upstairs, knocked on the door, stood at the door and waited, and heard Su Jinniang shouting inside: "Come in!" Su Yi pushed the door in.
As soon as Su Yi came in, he saw Su Jinniang sitting in front of the dresser in a panic and stood up, under the rouge box on the stage, there was a piece of paper, on which the handwriting could be faintly seen, Su Yi's eyes rolled, and he came over and said, "Sister, why haven't you fallen asleep yet?" ”
Su Jinniang snorted and said, "What are you doing here when you don't go to accompany the guests?" ”
Su Yi grinned and said, "I have a small thing to give you ......." As soon as he spoke, he came to the dresser, and while Su Jinniang was not on guard, he suddenly reached out and took the rouge box away, and the paper pressed underneath was revealed, with the names 'Wang Yong' and 'Shi Bin' written indiscriminately on it, and the paper was all over.
Su Jinniang hurriedly snatched the paper into her hand, her face flushed, Su Yi laughed evilly, and said, "Sister, you are ...... moved." ”
Su Jinniang turned her head to Su Yi and stood up, Su Yi immediately took the words back, Su Jinniang threw the paper into the incense burner, and then said: "I just wonder, what is he called, what is the fuss about." ”
Su Yi said disappreciably: "What can he do, it has nothing to do with you anyway." ”
Su Jinniang looked at Su Yi a little strangely, Su Yi deliberately didn't look at her, and said, "Sister, look what this is." As he spoke, he took out the night pearl from his arms, opened the brocade box and put it in front of Su Jinniang's eyes.
When Su Jinniang saw the brilliance like stars, she couldn't help but exclaim, and said, "You...... Where did you get this? This is...... Priceless! If you put it in our house, it's a thing that will cause trouble! Send it back! ”
Su Yi shook his head and said, "What are you sending back for, this is what Shi Bin gave you." ”
Su Jinniang looked at Su Yi in disbelief and said, "Don't lie to me!" ”
Su Yi snorted coldly and said, "You take this thing to Daddy's eldest brother, ask them, do we have it in our family, and then ask others, have they seen it?" ”
Su Jinniang still said with a look of disbelief: "But...... Why did he send me this? Speaking of this, his face turned red and he said, "I want to send ...... I have to give it to Daddy, too! ”
Su Yi rolled his eyes and said: "If it's a dowry, he will give it to his father, this is a token he gave you, let me tell you, seeing this thing is the same as seeing him, and then he is leaving, no matter who you marry in the future, you can have this thing in your hand, as if he is still ......by your side." ”
Before Su Yi's words were finished, Su Jinniang grabbed the beads and fell to the ground, Su Yi stretched out his hand to catch them, and was scared into a cold sweat, shouting: "What are you doing!" ”
"Humph!" Su Jinniang said coldly: "Take it!" Since he looks down on me, I don't want his stuff! ”
Su Yi said aggrievedly: "My sister, where do you see that people look down on you?" It's enough to take such a baby to marry a princess, how can I look down on you! ”
Su Jinniang shouted: "He is obviously here, and he will have a martial arts competition tomorrow, and he will deal with me in the end, and it is better than humiliating me like this!" ”
Su Yi sighed and said, "Sister doesn't know, it's not that he doesn't play, it's that he can't play." ”
Su Jinniang looked at Su Yi puzzled, Su Yi continued: "Daddy has already shown you a good look, I want you to marry that Wang Yao, Yao Wenji is okay, anyway, it can't be the generals around the descendants of the previous dynasty, so tomorrow let them draw lots, six people draw lots, draw red lots, there are numbers on them, fight against each other, and there are two black sticks in the bucket, and if you draw a black lot, you will be out, you can't get out, just leave, I went to my dad to know that my father and eldest brother have been decided, and Shi Binguo will draw a black lot." ”
When Su Yi said this, he paused for a moment, looked at Su Jinniang's reaction, and sure enough, Su Jinniang's face changed greatly, and her fists clenched, so she said: "You also know that I and this Shi Bin hit it off at first sight, and we became friends, so I told him, he said that since Daddy disagreed, it should be because he was married in front of him, and he couldn't let you be his wife, this is Daddy's love for you, he can't fight against it, he can only lose you, so let me bring this thing to you and make it a souvenir, and then he will deal with the lottery tomorrow, It's leaving. ”
"Are you telling the truth?" Su Jinniang asked coldly.
Su Yi swore and said, "Can I still lie to you!" Just this bead, he originally used it as a dowry, but he didn't let me bring it when it didn't work, otherwise he gave it directly to his father, according to the eldest brother's temperament, even if he didn't agree, it was impossible to let go of this bead. ”
After Su Yi finished speaking, he sighed again, and said: "Actually, my father is also for your good, that Wang Yao is Wang Jiedu's youngest son, if you marry in the past, you will naturally be able to enjoy happiness, even if there are several other people, they are also officials, unlike marrying Shi Bin, he is a general, you also have to belong to the Chai family, and you are still a concubine, so you follow your father's ......." ”
"Shut up!" Su Yi was interrupted by Su Jinniang before she finished speaking, and she said hatefully: "Hmph! As I said, this competition is my business, everything is up to me, outsiders are not allowed to interfere, do my father and eldest brother really think I'm joking? ”
Su Yi secretly grimaced, and said in his heart: "There is a door!" But he said: "You can do it, the marriage is a big event, the order of your parents, and the words of the matchmaker, how can you do it yourself...... I didn't say it! ”
Su Jinniang suddenly turned her head and looked at Su Yi coldly, and Su Yi immediately swallowed her words back.
Su Jinniang sneered: "I want to see which matchmaker dares to come and say kiss to me!" After speaking, he stretched out his hand and took the beads, and said, "You go!" ”
Su Yi said deliberately: "That...... You give me this bead, don't you want it, it's a precious play, it's a pity to let you fall, and I'll give it back to others. ”
"Let's go!" Su Jinniang pointed outward, and Su Yiyi waved his hand and said, "I'll go, I'll go!" "I got up and went out.
Su Yi got out of Xiulou, and he didn't go to see Wang Yong and them, so he went back to his bedroom and fell asleep.
Early the next morning, the host family asked Wang Yong, Wang Yao, Yao Wenji, Dong Ping, Fang Tao, and Li Ziyuan to invite six people to the hall of the house. ”
The six people stood up together and saluted to the big house: "You're polite." ”
When Wang Yong spoke, he glanced at Su Yi who was standing behind Su Dahu, Su Yi turned sideways slightly, not letting Su Liang on the side see it, and gave Wang Yong a look, saying that it was okay, and Wang Yong sat down with peace of mind.
Su Dahu continued: "Several of them are talented, but Xiao Lao'er only has one daughter, if she fights with that one first, she will lose...... Of course; This is inevitable, who calls a few of them young heroes, but it's not fair to the people behind. ”
Dong Ping hurriedly said: "This is extremely true! "He came this time for fame and wealth, for fear that someone would be in front of him and take away the beauty.
Su Dahu smiled and said: "So the old man let people make a few signatures, you draw lots first, the numbers are opposite, the two fight each other, and the winner will fight with the old man's daughter, what do you think?" ”
Wang Yao said: "My father said that martial arts is a skill, and luck is also a skill, so this is fair."
Su Dahu nodded with satisfaction, and looked at the others, Wang Yong and the others also said: "All the people are arranged." ”
Su Dahu said: "However, you are six people, and it is inconvenient to fight each other, so this time the lottery, the one who draws the red sign stays, and the one who draws the number fights against the black lot, so he can only be embarrassed." ”
Dong Ping's face changed immediately, this lottery doesn't look at strength, he has no way to grasp it, if he draws a black lot, what will happen? It's just that this time, without waiting for them to speak again, he shouted, "Take out the sign!" ”
With the voice, the curtain was lifted, and Su Jinniang came out with the bucket in person, Su Dahu couldn't help but be stunned, and Su Liang hurriedly said: "Little sister......." Wang Yao and they all saw Su Jinniang for the first time and couldn't help but be shocked by her beauty, Dong Ping didn't add it, seeing Su Jin's saliva flowing out, he secretly said in his heart: "It seems that there is no fame, and this woman can be married." ”
Su Jinniang didn't look at those people at all, so she put the bucket on the table in the middle, and said: "It's also unfair to you to let you draw lots like this, it's easy to get in, but you were defeated by a lot, this is really inappropriate, so you see!" ”
Su Jinniang pointed to the bucket, and the six sticks were all headed upward, and the black and red ones could be argued at a glance.
Su Jinniang pointed to the bucket and said: "You guys shoot now, the one who catches the black sign is the black sign, and the one who catches the red sign is the red sign, you can't change it, it's all your own martial arts, please!" ”
Wang Yong, Dong Ping, Wang Yao, Yao Wenji, Fang Tao, and Li Ziyuan glanced at each other, then stood up, walked over, and came to the edge of the table, Su Jinniang glanced at Wang Yong, slowly retreated, and said in her heart: "I gave you a chance to compete fairly, whether you can do it or not depends on yourself."
Wang Yong saw Su Jinniang's appearance, smiled slightly, and said, "Several, I think we have wasted time!" As he spoke, he suddenly stretched out his hand and slapped it on the table, and the bucket jumped on the table, and then all six sticks flew out, Wang Yong's palm turned over, and his palm was upward, and one of the red sticks jumped towards his palm.
As soon as Dong Ping stretched out his hand, he grabbed the red stick on Wang Yong's palm, and Wang Yao grabbed a skewer as soon as he fished it back, took a step back, and spread his palm, it was the red stick, and he won the first place.
Yao Wenji followed and grabbed a red stick, Fang Tao and Li Ziyuan kicked at the same time, and kicked Yao Wenji's stomach, the sudden attack made Yao Wenji snort and rolled out, Fang Tao took the opportunity to grab a red stick and retreated, Li Ziyuan flicked a black stick, and the black stick flew in front of Yao Wenji, and said in a deep voice: "This is for you!" Then he grabbed the other red stick.
This will Wang Yong and Dong Ping two people in the way of grappling hands to fight a few moves, neither of the two of them can get the red stick, at this time seeing that Li Ziyuan is about to get another red stick, if so, the loser of the two of them is bound to have only one black stick to take, Dong Ping's face changed, his sleeves shook, and a dagger jumped out of the sleeve, slashing towards Wang Yong's abdomen.
Wang Yong has been fighting with Dong Ping for this red sign, just to squeeze Dong Ping out, he expected that Dong Ping would also think about squeezing himself out after knowing his strength, so he attracted Dong Ping's attention, this will see Dong Ping use a knife, just a slap on his waist, the head of the whip wrapped around his waist bounced out, and it was pumped on Dong Ping's wrist, Dong Ping screamed in pain, and the dagger in his hand flew out.
Wang Yongyi stretched out his hand and grabbed the red stick, followed by a kick, hitting Dong Ping in the stomach and kicking Dong Ping out.
At this time, Li Ziyuan had already caught the red stick, Dong Ping was kicked back, and hit the table, he returned his palm, and he pulled the side of the stick bucket on the table, and the stick bucket flew out and hit Li Ziyuan's wrist, Li Ziyuan screamed, but the wrist bone was broken, and the red stick fell out of his hand, Dong Ping returned his hand and took it in his palm, and at this time, the last black stick fell and fell at Li Ziyuan's feet.
