Not far from the greenhouse, Wang Gui and Tang Huai asked Li Yanqing left and right, "Tell me honestly, did that little lady come to go on a blind date with you just now?" ”

"You two stinky boys ruined my blind date, how can you compensate me?" Li Yanqing grabbed the necks of the two with his backhand and asked angrily. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Wang Gui and Tang Huai were stunned for a moment, and the two said apologetically: "Lao Li, I'm sorry!" We don't really know, it wasn't just meant to bother. ”

Li Yanqing saw that the two believed it, and immediately laughed, Wang Gui and Tang Huai woke up, waved their old fists and beat them, Li Yanqing broke free from the two of them and ran towards the crowd.

"Catch up with him!" The three of them ran into the crowd one after the other.

At this time, it is not yet time to eat, and the people in the greenhouse are busy preparing the social meal. And the social drama next to the land temple is almost over, and dozens of heavenly soldiers and heavenly generals dressed up quite mightily have arrested more than a dozen demons and monsters dressed obscenely and wearing masks and put them on the wooden platform.

The wooden platform is surrounded by thousands of villagers, although the social drama is similar every year, it is nothing more than the demons and monsters to harm the people, the emperor of heaven is furious, and sends the heavenly soldiers and heavenly generals to eliminate demons for the people.

But the villagers are trying to be lively, whenever a demon is overturned, everyone applauds, especially when several female fox demons dressed in bewitching clothes are escorted to the wooden platform, the social drama reaches its climax, and there is laughter, shouting and applause all around......

In front of the temple, more than 100 old men and women are burning incense and paper money in front of the land temple, they kneel in front of the statue of the land god and pray sincerely, asking the land father to bless the wind and rain, and bless the safety of the whole family.

Although the open space in front of the temple is crowded, the small stalls and vendors still see the seams, or paint a place in the open space to make money, or carry the goods to move around, sugar people, dough kneading people, selling rock sugar gourds, and small goods selling silk flower copper jewelry, especially popular with the little ladies.

Li Yanqing took Wang Gui and Tang Huai to swim in the crowd, each of them took a string of rock sugar gourds, and gnawed on them as they walked, Yue Fei's father Yue He was the Baozheng of Tangwang Village, and today he was in charge of the Spring Society of Tangwang Village, Yue He was short of manpower, so he grabbed his son to play drums.

At this time, the social drama had dispersed, and dinner had not yet started, many people went to the stalls in Lushan Town to buy things, and there were a little fewer people in the open space.

"Old Tang, there's archery over there!"

Wang Gui suddenly found that there was an archery stall on the other side of the mulberry forest, which immediately aroused his strong interest, and pulled Tang Huai to run, "Lao Li, hurry up." ”

"Here we are!"

Li Yanqing agreed, but he didn't move, he saw the little girl magpie, and there was another little lady next to her who was similar to her, it seemed to be Li Er's little maid A Tao, the two were standing in front of a jewelry stall and watching a group of little girls buy jewelry.

Li Yanqing stepped forward with a smile, coughed lightly behind them, the magpie turned around, and was suddenly startled, and hurriedly gave a gift, and Ah Tao's face next to him was slightly red, and he also followed the gift.

"Did you buy something?"

Li Yanqing specially asked Uncle Zhong to give the magpie a little pocket money in the morning, she shouldn't be empty-handed, the magpie blushed, shook his head, Li Yanqing glanced at it, and saw that the magpie was holding more than a dozen dollars in his small hand, but Ah Tao had nothing in his hand, Li Yanqing suddenly understood, the magpie's money was only enough to buy a small piece of jewelry, and Ah Tao was gone, Li Yanqing couldn't help but scold Li Er for being stingy.

He smiled and beckoned to the two little ladies, "What do you like, I'll buy it for you!" ”

The magpie and Ah Tao stepped forward timidly, they were eager to get a piece of jewelry, but they were embarrassed to let Li Yanqing break the bank, the jewelry seller was very clever, and immediately took off two phoenix hairpins and handed them to them and said with a smile: "This is the most popular one, just for a little lady like you." ”

Li Yanqing took the copper hairpin and handed it to them, and said to the vendor: "There are also pearl copper hairpins and pomegranate silk flowers, two each!" ”

The vendor immediately took it to him, and Li Yanqing smiled and handed it to the two little ladies.

The eyes of the two little ladies showed joy, Li Yanqing bought them each an embroidered jewelry bag, and paid the bill, at this time, someone next to him suddenly shouted: "Magpie!" ”

As soon as Li Yanqing turned around, he saw a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl standing next to her, wearing a half-worn silk skirt, her hair was combed oily and slippery, with an oval face, a pair of slender eyes under her eyebrows, and her skin was white.

"Sister!"

The magpie shouted happily, and Li Yanqing remembered that this little lady was the magpie's sister Dayan, who had seen her once at Li Dongdong's house back then, as if she was now the personal maid of the patriarch's wife, and was quite favored by Mrs. Li.

The magpie hurriedly took out the phoenix copper hairpin, "Sister, this is what the little official bought for me." ”

Dayan originally pretended not to see Li Yanqing, but when her sister said this, she couldn't pretend, so she had to step forward to give Li Yanqing a blessing, "The little slave has seen the little official, thank you for treating my sister well." ”

Li Yanqing wanted to buy a piece of jewelry for Dayan as well, but he suddenly found a young man standing not far from him, who seemed to have come with Dayan, so he felt that he shouldn't have much to do.

Li Yanqing smiled and said hello to Dayan, and stuffed back the money bag he had just taken out, how shrewd Dayan was, and immediately saw that Li Yanqing had no intention of buying a piece of jewelry for herself, she was secretly annoyed in her heart, so she lowered her head with a smile, revealing a white and bright silver hairpin at the end of her hair, and smiled at her sister: "Sister, is this hairpin good-looking?" ”

"Wow! It's a silver hairpin! The magpie and Tao exclaimed together.

"This was given to me by Madame, huh! I'm not rare for this kind of worthless copper hairpin! ”

Dayan glanced at Li Yanqing, turned his head and walked away triumphantly, "Magpie, Sister will play with you another day." ”

Dayan walked dozens of steps before the man quietly followed, Li Yanqing saw that the young man was of medium stature, dressed in ordinary clothes, but he was very strong, with bronze skin and powerful arms, and he seemed to be a professional martial artist, but he had never seen it himself.

It's strange, how can Xiaohe Township have such a person who practices martial arts? In just a moment, the two disappeared into the crowd talking and laughing.

Li Yanqing shook his head, he temporarily put Dayan and the strange man aside, and looked around for Wang Gui and Tang Huai.

"Little official, we want to go over there and have a look." The magpie pointed to a lively place in front of him and said to Li Yanqing.

"Okay!"

Li Yanqing hurriedly took out a large handful of money and stuffed it to the magpie, "You go buy something to eat." ”

"Ahh That's too much. ”

"Buy more of what you like." Dropping a word, Li Yanqing ran towards the mulberry forest, and he had already seen Wang Gui shooting arrows.

There is an archery stand by the woods, and this is the first time this year that two strangers have set up a gamble here.

In the northern part of the Great Song Dynasty, archery societies were generally organized, and young and strong men would spontaneously organize archery during their leisure time, which was fully supported by the imperial court and given preferential treatment such as tax reduction and exemption.

For example, there are 588 bow and arrow societies in Dingzhou and Bao Prefecture, which are close to the border, with a total of more than 30,000 people, accounting for about 10% of the total population of the place, and the number of bow and arrow societies in Xiangzhou is slightly smaller, but each township has several bow and arrow societies, and there are 6 or 7,000 villagers who participate.

Two strangers set up arrows and gambled here, which immediately aroused everyone's interest, and soon hundreds of people surrounded them, and everyone was eager to try.

The two men who set up the stall are very majestic, and the head of the man hugged his fist to the surrounding villagers and said: "Ruan Xiaoer in Xiashan Mountain, this is my brother Ruan Xiaowu, we passed by your place, it was the Spring Society, our brothers also got together, did you see it, there was an arrow target sixty steps away in front of us, and we hit the outer blue circle, we lost five hundred dollars, shot the yellow circle, we lost two dollars, if we can shoot the red heart, we lose ten taels of silver, of course, the color head is high, and the bet is also a little more expensive, an arrow hundred Wen." ”

In order to show that he was not lying, Ruan Xiaoer took out a silver ingot weighing ten taels and tied it to the treetops next to the arrow target.

Many people were tempted by the white flowers, and one villager shouted, "What if you make a mess with your bow and arrow?" ”

Ruan Xiaoer smiled, he raised his bow, "This is the eight-bucket bow, and the arrows are also special wolf tooth arrows for the army, I'll shoot a few arrows for everyone to see." ”

He put the quiver behind his back, drew three arrows, and shot them at the target one after the other, and the arrows hit the red heart, and the crowd around him applauded.

Ruan Xiaoer raised his bow and shouted: "How about it, which hero will try!" ”

"Master, I'll shoot a few arrows first!" Wang Gui was the first to jump up.

"Are you sure you want to shoot arrows?"

Ruan Xiaowu next to him said with a smile: "Little official, this is an eight-bucket bow, don't lose the money and blame us for not being able to buy sugar." ”

Wang Gui saw that he was looking down on himself, so he took out a tael of silver in annoyance and threw it to Ruan Xiaoer, "Give the master ten arrows, you wait to be the pants!" ”

The Ruan brothers glanced at each other meaningfully, Ruan Xiaoer handed the bow to Wang Gui, Wang Gui regretted it a little, this is a well-made foot bow, the back of the bow is thick, very heavy, a few points heavier than the ordinary army foot bow.

Wang Gui usually uses a five-bucket bow, and he can barely pull the eight-bucket bow, but the eight-bucket bow is too heavy, and he feels that this is at least a stone bow.

"Old Gui, it's okay! If it doesn't work, let me do it. Tang Huai said on the side.

"Joke, did I say no?"

Wang Gui took an arrow, opened the bow hard, the bow creaked open, but the arm was trembling slightly, Wang Gui gritted his teeth and aimed at the arrow target, as soon as the string was loosened, one broke out of the string and went straight to the arrow target.

Wang Gui's heart was in his throat, he was not sure whether he could shoot or not, it was all based on his feelings, at this time, there was a round of applause around him, "Good archery!" ”

Wang Gui's heart was relieved, knowing that he had been shot, Tang Huai put his hands to his mouth and shouted: "Shoot the blue circle, 500 wen is in hand!" ”

Wang Gui was suddenly a little deflated, it was only five hundred yuan, and he thought that at least two yuan of money had been received.

At this time, Ruan Xiaowu glanced at his brother, Wang Gui's performance surprised him slightly, but Ruan Xiaoer held his hands in front of his chest and looked at this little official with a smile on his face to shoot arrows.
