Chapter Seventy-Three: The Feast of the Grandmaster's Dao

"Hey, that kid is actually a practitioner, if it weren't for my family's advanced martial arts, I really wouldn't be able to beat him." Speaking of fighting, the young man became excited, his teeth didn't hurt anymore, he pointed his fingers, and began to demonstrate: "Sister, you see, his Taizu Changquan is the same as what my father taught me, fierce and fierce, but there are differences, revealing a bloody breath that is not fatal, I don't know where he learned it, the person who taught him, presumably ...... Oops, pain, pain! ”

Chen Xiaoniang's hand screwed his ears again, and he couldn't stop shouting.

"Who told you to go to him to fight? Who told you that I was going to get angry with him? Chen Xiaoniang's hands were hard, her eyebrows were deeply wrinkled, and she was really angry.

"It was Brother Mo who said it, Brother Mo said it, he said that you were a kid that day for no reason...... collided, and it happened to happen to run into it today, so I had to give that kid a little hardship, so I made a move. The young man bared his teeth and shouted fiercely: "Sister, sister, let go, let go." ”

Chen Xiaoniang twisted it fiercely, pushed her younger brother and staggered, and then let go, and said: "There is no shadow, I have already explained the matter clearly in the mouth of Xiaoniang Zong that day, but it is because of the unintentional collision between each other, why bother, you do this, isn't it a bully-like behavior?" When I go back, I must tell Daddy. ”

"Ahh The young man screamed, grabbed his sister's hand, and kept shaking: "Don't tell your father, he will skin me!" ”

Seeing that Chen Xiaoniang was silent, looking angry, he smiled again: "If I die, you won't have a brother, no one will be angry with you, isn't it boring?" ”

Between sisters and brothers, the most intimate, the older ones will love and spoil the little ones, and the Chen family is naturally no exception, Chen Xiaoniang watched this younger brother be born and grown, and he loved it very much.

Seeing his sister laughing, the young man immediately jumped up, rushed into the inner room to change clothes, and said, "Since it was a misunderstanding, then I won't go to that kid in the future." My sister is relieved that she will not go out to fight in the future. ”

Chen Xiaoniang suddenly remembered something and asked, "Chen Yu, did you break that person?" ”

The young man's name is Chen Yu, the younger brother born to Chen Xiaoniang's mother, and at this moment, through the curtain between the inside and outside, he replied inside: "Where is the beating?" However, the man was strong-natured, refused to admit defeat, and suffered some skin injuries, and he would be fine in a day or two. ”

Hearing that Changsun Hong suffered a loss, Chen Xiaoniang's heart was inexplicably happy for a while, her expression was slightly peaceful, and the mustard hidden in her heart was a little bit gone, the girl was shy, how could she dare to tell the things she saw in the man's private parts? In that case, he will not have the face to see people again, once outsiders know, it will be a problem to marry in the future, although the atmosphere of the Song Dynasty continued to open up the Tang Dynasty, but no one was willing to marry a woman who had seen the roots of other men's lives.

So this kind of loss can only be buried in the bottom of my heart, and I don't dare to be humane for others, and that day to Zong Shengxian, I only dare to say that Changsun Hong suddenly appeared and bumped into himself. The maid Cuiyun, she also firmly instructed that it should not be revealed, Cuiyun was originally a person who had no opinions, and in fear, she agreed without a life.

But the unhappiness in my heart, there is always there, Chen Xiaoniang's real name is Chen Ying, her father is an official eunuch from Wu Zhuangyuan, in a high position, her parents pamper her family on weekdays, she is proficient in poetry and writing since she was a child, and she is quite literate and talented.

Chen Yu's hasty action finally relieved some of the hatred, so Chen Ying smiled and said: "It's a good thing that you didn't break it, so as not to hurt people and increase the incident." ”

Chen Yu shushed in the room to change clothes, and replied casually with an "oh", Chen Ying felt bored, so she wanted to leave, and said through the door curtain: "I'm leaving, you wait to change your clothes, and come out to find me, Uncle Zong is going to invite us to a banquet in the evening, don't delay." ”

After that, she pushed the door out, and after a little effort, Chen Yu came out of it, changed into a new dress, and was about to go out to chase her sister, when she rolled her eyebrows and found a piece of writing paper spread out on the desk.

I went over to take a look, but it was my sister's handwriting, and it was written with a poem.

He glanced at it casually, picked up the paper at once, his eyes lit up, he was overjoyed, and read it several times in a row, praising it, and feeling that the writing was excellent.

"Yes, this is when my sister is afraid that she will eat, Uncle Zong considers my homework and writes it in advance for me to use it for the occasion, hehe, my sister speaks very well, but she still defends me in her heart." Chen Yu's eyes rolled a few times, he became happy, folded the paper carefully and carefully, put it in his close-fitting pocket, and went out happily.

In late autumn, the sky was dark early, and it didn't take long to reach the point where the lantern was needed, and the lights inside and outside the city were lit up one by one like stars, and the lanterns in the backyard of the state government were hung high, and they were as bright as day.

The middle hall of the back ya, wide and atmospheric, several large pillars as thick as a person surround to support the beams of more than one zhang high, the ground is paved with cyan square bricks, five or six rooms are opened, so that the whole hall is particularly magnificent, the lanterns and candles covered with tulle on all sides are placed along the wall a lot, so that although the hall is large but very bright, more than a dozen large round tables are eye-catching illuminated.

The little girls in Tsing Yi came and went, sent the dishes from the kitchen to the door of the middle hall one by one, and then there were the maids in colorful clothes and butterflies to take over, Yingying served the round table, each dish, the maids were smiling and chanting to report the name of the dish, all of which were famous dishes of Shudi, full of color and taste, and full of fragrance. The maids holding wine bottles frequently poured wine, which added a little spice.

Around several round tables, full of people, the following dozen tables are the children of the Zong family and the invited wealthy businessmen in the city and state and county officials, one of the tables, in the center of a middle-aged fat man wearing a round-necked robe, wearing a curved winged head, smiling and blushing to sit in the main seat, a pinch of mustache left on the upper lip, is talking reservedly.

"Today's autumn is high and refreshing, it is a good time to climb high and look far, and there is a tradition of thinking about autumn since ancient times, but it is a pity that the official is entangled in secular affairs, and can not break free, and it is a pity to look at the beautiful scenery outside the city but not to calm down to appreciate. There are also poems of the ancients: Knowing that the brothers climbed to the heights, there was one less person everywhere. I and Chen Liangbiao Chen Zhizhou in the same hall in the same hall of the martial arts, the protΓ©gΓ© of the Son of Heaven, such as today's side, from the town of a state, although far away, but it is rare to drink and talk again, and add a regret, think about it, it is frustrating. ”

He picked up a delicate wine glass of white jade, and laughed loudly: "But fortunately, Brother Chen is worried about my brother in his heart, and knowing that my birthday is approaching, it is really gratifying to send a pair of his sons and daughters to visit, even the fatigue of these days has disappeared." ”

Everyone at the table laughed, looking at Chen Ying and Chen Yu, the two sisters and brothers sitting on the table, the two quickly got up, bent down to salute, Chen Ying smiled and said: "My father has been talking about Uncle Zong, saying that if Uncle Zong hadn't helped him on the school field, where could he get into the eyes of the official family, Uncle Zong's kindness to my family is as vast as the river and the sea, this year's birthday of Uncle Zong, my father wanted to come in person, but the state affairs were busy, and he couldn't go away, and the supervisor urged him tightly, so he let my two juniors come." ”

Hezhou Zhizhou Grandmaster Dao waved his hand boldly, as if brushing away the dust that did not exist in the air, and laughed loudly: "What happened many years ago, Brother Chen still remembers it so clearly, but I have long forgotten it, the only thing I remember is that my colleagues from the first hall are affectionate, and the two virtuous nephews went back and said hello to Brother Chen for me, and said that when I return to Beijing next year to report on my work, I must find him to have a good drink, hahaha!" ”

He waved down with one hand, motioned for Chen Ying and Chen Yu to sit down, then turned his head, nodded with a smile to an old man dressed as a scribe sitting beside him, and stretched out his hand to introduce to the full people in the room: "Actually, today's official banquet is held by the official, firstly, to catch the wind for my two nieces and nephews, and secondly, there are distinguished guests coming to the door, and my grandmaster is full of brilliance." Ladies and gentlemen, this is the honored guest of this official. ”

Under the gaze of countless pairs of eyes in the hall, Zhou Lang and Master Zhou slowly stood up and shook their heads.

"Old man Zhou Lang, I've seen you."
