Chapter 9 Bright Lantern Race and Attendance Secretly train soldiers and horses to prepare for martial arts
However, he said that Sanniang allocated the number of people to see the lanterns in the town guard mansion that day: "I asked the old man Chen Xizhen to be the leader of the lantern team, and played a clear banner, that is, Shandong Jeju Mansion He recovered the Yanyun lantern team, and led Mu Chun, Xue Yong, Du Qian, Song Wan, Li Yun, and Shi Yong as the deputy of the lantern team. In addition, Qiong Ying and Sun Erniang pretended to be relatives all the way back to Beijing Province, Gongsun Sheng and Qiao Daoqing pretended to be Youfang Daoists all the way, Lu Zhishen and Deng Yuanjue pretended to be Youfang monks all the way, and Yang Tinghe and Cui Jing pretended to be businessmen all the way. Ma Ling, Zheng Ying, Bai Sheng, and Shi Qian were four to listen and pass on the news, only these five people went, and the rest were all left to prepare for the big competition. ”
This kind of arrangement is participated in by people from all the old departments, but Wu Song is because Pan Jinlian is pregnant, Sanniang specially asked him to stay and take care of it, taking into account the competition of the martial infantry army and horses, so Lu Zhishen is accompanied by Deng Yuanjue, a Jiangnan monk.
When Li Kui, a good deed, heard this, he jumped up and shouted: "Sister-in-law, if you don't take me with Tie Niu like this, I won't do it!" Sanniang smiled: "How do you get there?" You made trouble with Mount Tai back then, and now you are still wearing a guilty body. ”
Li Kui was going to die, but he was so stubborn that he couldn't persuade others to stay. Sanniang looked at Li Kui and said with a smile: "Since you want to go, you have to deal with two things from me." Li Kui was overjoyed and hurriedly said: "Don't say two, a hundred are made." ”
Sanniang looked at Li Kui with a smile on his face and said: "The first thing is that you have to take your beard away, shave it white and clean, and change your face before you can go." Li Kui touched a handful of beards and grinned: "Shave a beard, this makes it." Sister-in-law is about to say the second thing, I know, the second thing must be to teach Brother Xiao Yi to be my companion, teach me to listen to Brother Xiao Yi's instructions, but? ”
Sanniang couldn't help but smile and said: "The iron bull has grown, you can guess it." Everyone in the hall burst into laughter when they heard this. Sanniang paused and continued: "I want to find someone to be your companion, but it's not Yan Xiaoyi, Brother Yan Qing, I have another important task with him this time." ”
Li Kui scratched his head and said, "Huh? Isn't it Brother B? But who is it? Sister-in-law, let's say it first, others and I don't obey Tie Niu. Sanniang pursed her lips and smiled: "This person can definitely control you." Li Kui snorted and said, "Sister-in-law, I think who else dares to care about me." ”
Sanniang couldn't help but smile and said: "If you want to go this time, you have to promise me the second thing, which is to personally invite Miss Pang Qiuxia Pang as a companion before you can go." Iron Bull, can she control you? As soon as these words came out, the hall burst into laughter.
Li Kui's pitch-black face turned red, and since the Pang brothers and sisters and the remnants of Fang La arrived on Shandong Road, although the Pang Wanchun brothers and sisters did not serve under Sanniang, both of them returned to worship the Fire Sect as elders. And the Zoroastrian altar on Shandong Road is in Jeju Mansion, Li Kui is also in Jeju, and he has a good impression of Pang Qiuxia, and he has a lot of contacts, and the Liangshan brothers privately joked that Tie Niu will be the son-in-law of Zoroastrianism sooner or later.
Pang Qiuxia is a son and daughter of the rivers and lakes, talking about martial arts, drinking wine and eating meat, and her temperament is as straightforward as Li Kui. And when Li Kui gets along with Pang Qiuxia, Pang Qiuxia always has the final say, so Li Kui also listens to Pang Qiuxia's words and obeys her.
When I heard that Sanniang was going to invite Pang Qiuxia to go with her, Rao is Li Kui was very thick-skinned, and she couldn't help but blush, and said: "Sister-in-law, let's change someone, go and invite Miss Pang to go with you, how can this be done?" Everyone laughed together again, and Yan Qing smiled: "Tie Niu, you are going to invite people to Tokyo to see the lights, and you are not abducting other girls, what are you afraid of?" ”
Li Kui glared and said: "Miss Pang is not married, and the lonely men and widows are on the same road, what kind of system will she become?" Everyone laughed again, and Sanniang smiled: "You run to the Zoroastrian altar every day, aren't you afraid of lonely men and widows?" Li Kui completely drooped his head this time.
Sanniang got up, walked up to Li Kui and said with a smile: "What are you doing with your head drooping?" Men should get married and women should get married, don't marry and don't marry to make jokes, Tie Niu, you are not too young, you should also start a family, this time you go to invite Miss Pang in person, if she is willing to go with you, I will be the matchmaker in person, and then ask Mr. Lou Min to be a guarantor, to the Pang family, you and Miss Pang are married, how about this? ”
Li Kui raised his head when he heard this, and laughed loudly: "Okay, I Tie Niu is a cheerful person, begging a mother-in-law to live, and it's not a big deal, what am I afraid of?" I'm going to talk to Qiuxia girl! Ignoring the laughter of the crowd, he separated from the crowd and walked quickly.
In the laughter of everyone, Zhu Wu, Gongsun Sheng, and Huang Wenbing glanced at each other, and Huang Wenbing approached and whispered: "Lord, it is a wonderful move to let Li Kui's brother marry Pang Qiuxia, which can further affect Zoroastrianism, but this Pang brother and sister will not die of revenge for Jiangnan Zoroastrianism, I am afraid that this trip to Beijing will cause trouble." ”
Sanniang smiled faintly: "I just want to cause something in Zoroastrianism, and you will understand in the future." Huang Wenbing was slightly startled, lowered his head and calculated, and didn't understand the purpose of Sanniang's arrangement.
Then the arrangements were made, everyone went back to prepare, those who went to Beijing were ready to leave, and they still prepared for martial arts, drilled soldiers and horses, hoarded grain and grass, etc., and Sanniang left Yan Qing alone to speak.
In the inner hall, Sanniang sat down, Qiong Ying and Sun Erniang waited on the side, after Yan Qing arrived, Sanniang let him sit and said: "This time, you will also invite my senior brother Yue and Niu Gao to go to Tokyo with us." ”
Yan Qing was smart, so she understood Sanniang's intentions. It turned out that after Yue Fei arrived at Shandong Road, just because he had been a concubine in the Southern Dynasty, he really badly damaged the imperial court and broke his career, so he had to temporarily settle in Jeju Mansion. Later, after calming down and thinking about it, Yue Fei also guessed that his senior sister didn't have a good heart when she went undercover in the Southern Dynasty, but Sanniang used Yangmou, and she really needed someone to go undercover to Fang La back then, and marrying Princess Jinzhi was indeed something he couldn't control and couldn't complain about. Although Yue Fei understood the joints, he couldn't have a seizure, so he had to go to work to seek leisure, and Zhishi was at home and angry with Sanniang.
These days, Sanniang didn't persuade him, but just sent a copy of the Shandong Road Official Mansion to Yue Fei, and the Shandong Road Official Mansion newspaper said more about the military and political affairs of the imperial court and Shandong Road, and all kinds of military and political events of the Song Dynasty were published on it. At this time, Sanniang asked Yue Fei to know about the world's major events although he was at home.
And Yan Qing and Yue Fei have been in Jiangnan for three years, have a deep friendship, and often go to visit Yue Fei, and also know that in fact, Yue Fei is not willing to be lonely in his heart, he is still the determination to serve the country loyally, but Yue Fei's foolish loyalty to the orthodoxy of the Song family is not under Uncle Zhang, so it is still difficult to take him under his command.
Recently, when Yue Fei learned that Tong Guan's Northern Expedition failed, and he used the wealth and silk coins to redeem Yanjing and other eight states, he was also filled with general righteous indignation.
At that moment, Yan Qing heard the words and said: "The lord's mind, Xiao Yi understands, this trip to invite Brother Yue to Tokyo is also to let Brother Yue see the true face of the Zhao family, Xiao Yi must invite him to go." ”
Sanniang took a sip of tea and said slowly: "He still refuses to want me to be soft, which means that he still has opinions about me, when you go to invite him, you don't have to talk about what I want to go to, and you don't have to go with other brothers along the way." Yan Qing hugged her fists and said, "Xiao Yi understands." After that, he said goodbye and left, and went to invite Yue Fei.
The words were divided into two ends, but it was said that Li Kui rushed to the Zoroastrian main altar, just because he was a frequent visitor, and the Zoroastrian general altar people did not stop him, Li Kui left the horse at the front door, and his own sect members led him to the backyard manger, but he took three steps and two steps straight to the hall.
It happened that Pang Wanchun went out to run errands that day, and only Pang Qiuxia was in the hall, seeing Li Kui's arrival, Pang Qiuxia was also secretly happy, and immediately invited Li Kui to sit under the vines in the backyard. Before she sat down, Pang Qiuxia said: "Brother Tieniu, thank you for the money, food and medicine you sent last time, with these, our sect members can open more altars." ”
Li Kui waved his hand and smiled: "It's not a matter, it's all the lord's consent, I'm just running errands." After a pause, Li Kui continued: "Coming here today, there is another important matter. In order to celebrate the recovery of Yanjing Bazhou, the emperor Lao'er will hold a lantern festival in Tokyo after ten months, and we will also go out of the lantern team on Shandong Road, so I will invite you to go with me. ”
Pang Qiuxia clapped her hands and smiled: "Okay, I haven't seen the Tokyo Lantern Festival yet, what other heroes are going with me?" Li Kui scratched his head and said: "There are many people who go, but just because I am still guilty, I can only disguise myself, go alone, and meet in Tokyo." ”
When Pang Qiuxia heard this, she hesitated a little, and snorted: "Then there are only two of us all the way?" Li Kui nodded heavily and said, "Exactly, don't worry, it was my sister-in-law who taught me to invite you, and let you take care of me along the way." ”
As soon as these words came out, Pang Qiuxia couldn't help blushing no matter how much she was a child of the rivers and lakes, and couldn't help but say angrily: "Who cares about you!" Okay, if your sister-in-law won't let you come, won't you want to come? ”
Li Kui didn't know what was wrong, so he hurriedly said: "I also said at the time, I am afraid that lonely men and widows will make it difficult for you to marry in the future, but my sister-in-law later said that if you agree to go with me, she will personally be a matchmaker, teach Mr. Lou to be a guarantor, and go to the Pang family to propose relatives and teach you to marry me as a mother-in-law." ”
When Pang Qiuxia heard this, she blushed even more, and said suddenly: "You don't have a long heart, you just say something like this, you should go and tell my brother." Li Kui was puzzled, and only said: "If you are willing to go, I will go back and ask my sister-in-law to be a matchmaker." ”
Pang Qiuxia poked Li Kui's head and said angrily: "Marriage and marriage are important, my brother is still here, and my eldest brother is like a father, you just go and talk to your brother, come and ask me what I do." ”
While the two were talking, they suddenly heard a shout from one of them at the gate of the courtyard: "Bah! What a Li Tieniu, he dared to hook up with my sister! Eat me a stick! When he looked back, it was Pang Wanchun who came back, grabbed an iron rod from the gun stick rack in the courtyard, and ran straight towards Li Kui!
