Chapter 31 Zhu Biao forced marriage
The topography of Dongping Province is high in the north and low in the south, and the north is mostly low mountains and hills.
Dulong Mountain is one of them, although it is not a famous mountain and has no scenery, but it is very famous within a radius of 100 miles.
Just because there is a Zhujiazhuang on the mountain, this Zhujiazhuang is an unusual villager, the village raised a lot of villagers, and also invited the head to practice, Ping said that he relied on the crowd of people, rampant in the township, is a hegemon within a radius of 100 miles.
Lijiazhuang and Hujiazhuang are on the east and west sides of Zhujiazhuang, next to such strong neighbors, and the two villages are naturally not angry.
Early in the morning, dozens of horses from Zhujiazhuang broke the tranquility of the early morning and came to Hujiazhuang in the west.
When he came to the outside of the village, he didn't stop the horse, and rushed directly into the village, there were still people walking around in the village, and when they saw Zhu Biao leading people on a rampage, they all dodged.
For a time, Zhuang Zhong was stirred up.
Yizhang Qinghu Sanniang was in the village and her brother Flying Tiger Hucheng to learn martial arts, heard the chaos in the village, and walked out of the courtyard with the double knife of the moon.
I saw dozens of people riding horses from the gate of the village, and the one at the head was Zhu Biao, who had a marriage contract with him.
A trace of anger flashed on Hu Sanniang's face, and said: "This Zhu Biao is too hateful, which one puts my Hujiazhuang in his eyes." Xiaoqing, you go to lead me to come, and I will frustrate Zhu Biao's spirit. ”
Xiao Qing, the personal maid of Hu Sanniang next to her, answered and was about to lead the horse.
Hu Cheng, who chased out, hurriedly said: "Sister can't, there are many people in Zhujiazhuang, and I still have to find fault if I have nothing to do, if you beat Zhu Biao, I'm afraid Zhujiazhuang will take the opportunity to make trouble again." Don't make trouble, don't you see they're stopping? ”
Zhu Biao also saw the slim Sanniang in front of the Hutai Mansion at this time, looking at the slender and graceful Sanniang, Zhu Biao was also hot, thinking of today's intention, so he slowed down the horse.
Hu Sanniang saw Zhu Biao approaching with a domineering face, turned around and walked inside.
"Sister."
Hu Cheng called Sanniang, and when he saw that she ignored her, he had to step forward to greet Zhu Biao alone.
Zhu Biao watched Sanniang go away immediately, his eyes were a little straight, and he waited until Sanniang's figure disappeared out of sight, and he didn't come back to his senses.
Hu Cheng looked at Zhu Biao, who was stunned on the horse, and said busily: "I don't know what Zhu Sanshao is doing today?" ”
"Huh? Oh, I'm here today to discuss my marriage date with Sanniang with Mrs. Hu. ”
Hu Cheng was stunned when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "Sanshao will go to the front hall with me to sit for a while, and I will let people invite my father." ”
Zhu Biao asked the accompanying Zhuang Ding to wait outside the courtyard, and he went in alone with Hu Cheng.
When the two of them didn't sit for a while, Hu Taigong, who had white hair, turned out of the back hall.
Zhu Biao got up and said, "It's too good for public security." ”
"Well, I wish my brother is better?"
Hu Taigong looked at Zhu Biao in surprise, although Sanzhuang has an offensive and defensive covenant, he is also an elder of Zhu Biao, but he has never been so polite to Zhu Biao.
A few days ago, Zhu Hu died tragically, and Zhujiazhuang just sent a housekeeper to inform Hujiazhuang to track down passers-by, and He Zeng took them in his eyes.
It's a pity that in the end, I was busy for a few days, and I didn't find anything, but it attracted the government to inquire, and Zhujiazhuang was gone.
Could it be that Zhu Hu's tragic death made him restrain himself. If this is the case, the death of Zhu Hu may also be a good thing for Zhujiazhuang.
Hujiazhuang and Zhujiazhuang are next to each other, and the unsightly deeds of Zhujiadian are naturally known to Mrs. Hu. Zhujiazhuang relied on those tricks to obtain foreign wealth, recruit Zhuang Ding, and expand its power.
However, Hu Taigong believed that if he walked too much at night, he would always encounter ghosts, so he was unwilling to follow Zhujiazhuang's approach, which made Zhujiazhuang slowly override Hujiazhuang's head.
For Zhu Hu's death, Hu Taigong was not surprised at all, there was a dragon and a crouching tiger hidden in the rivers and lakes, and it was not guaranteed that one day Zhujiazhuang would decline because of Zhujiadian.
Zhu Biao shook his head and said: "It's still not good, yesterday I invited Dr. Wang of Ping'an Hall in Dongping Mansion, and he diagnosed my father's illness, saying that he was just overly sad and not very sick." It's just that this heart disease requires heart medicine, and he can't do anything, so it's best to do some happy things in Zhuang Shang, Chong Chong is happy, so that his old man can get better. My eldest brother has already got married, and it just so happens that I have a marriage contract with Sanniang, and I came this time to discuss with the prince to see when to let Sanniang pass the door and give my father Chongxi. ”
Hu Taigong frowned and said, "Didn't you say that the good nephew was married only after winning the martial arts?" ”
When Zhu Biao heard this, a trace of anger flashed on his face, he was fascinated by Hu Sanniang's beauty, and he agreed to this condition in a daze, and only afterwards did he realize that the martial arts had just ended, but the next martial arts would have to wait for three years, and it was not easy to go to high school, but he was caught in Hu Sanniang's plan to delay the army.
Zhu Biao resisted the urge to turn his face and said: "The next branch of martial arts will not be opened until Xuanhe three years, and now my father is seriously ill, but he can't delay it." It's better to get married early and give my father joy. When the martial arts are opened, the son-in-law must go to the exam. ”
Hu Taigong was embarrassed: "Sanniang's surname is strong, but I'm afraid she won't agree." ”
Zhu Biao saw that Hu Taigong didn't know how to lift, so he couldn't hold back his surname, and said in a dark voice: "I also know Sanniang's surname, but this matter is my eldest brother's idea, if this matter does not work, I am afraid that the two villages will not get along in the future." ”
When Hu Taigong heard Zhu Biao's threatening words, he was stunned for a moment.
Hu Cheng hurriedly said: "Don't worry, let me persuade Sanniang, and I will definitely give Sanshao a reply as soon as possible." ”
Zhu Biao looked at the panicked appearance of the two of them, and also knew that Sanniang should not be able to escape from his palm.
"It's not that I forced you, it's just that my father is sick and sick, and we can't watch him suffer. Three days, I can only buy you three days. After three days, if there is no reply, I am afraid that my eldest brother will have an accident. ”
Hu Cheng hurriedly said: "Certainly, definitely, within three days, I must give Sanshao a reply." ”
While he was talking, there was another sound of horses' hooves outside the hospital, from far and near, and it didn't stop until it was outside the hospital.
A Zhujia Zhuangjia Ding ran in and said breathlessly: "Sanshao, it's not good, there is a large group of Liangshan soldiers and horses rushing to our Zhuangzi." The eldest young master asked you to hurry back with someone as soon as possible, and at the same time ask Hujiazhuang's soldiers and horses to rescue. ”
Zhu Biao was just running rampant in the township, and when he heard the words, he couldn't sit still, and the arrogance just now disappeared, and he panicked: "I'll go back to the village first, and ask the brother of the Hu family to bring someone to rescue him quickly." ”
Hu Cheng heard that the Liangshan soldiers and horses were attacking, and his expression changed greatly, Sanzhuang was close at hand, how could the Liangshan soldiers and horses only fight Zhujiazhuang, and said busily: "Sanshao took the first step, I summoned Zhuang Ding and went." ”
"I'm tired."
Zhu Biao said goodbye, and then hurriedly ran back with the group of people who had originally come to show off their might.
"Knock Knock"
The big drum of the grain field in Hujiazhuang also sounded, and the strong men in the village were all equipped with equipment, and they came from all around like flowing water.
Hu Sanniang heard the sound of drums in the backyard, and also changed into clothes and armor and rushed out with the maid Xiaoqing, and asked, "What happened?" ”
Hu Cheng looked at his heroic sister, his eyes were full of helplessness, and said: "The Liangshan thieves attacked Zhujiazhuang, and Zhujiazhuang asked us for help. ”
"Brother Shouzhuang, I will take 300 people to save Zhujiazhuang, Xiaoqing, let's go."
Hu Cheng saw Hu Sanniang coming out of the house in a hurry, and hurriedly shouted: "Sister, slow down." ”
Hu Sanniang didn't stop, just said: "The thieves in Liangshan are powerful, they just broke the Dongping Mansion, and my brother guards Zhuangzi to prevent them from sneaking up." ”
The maid Xiaoqing trotted to catch up with Hu Sanniang, and gasped: "Miss, aren't you unwilling to marry that Zhu Biao, why do you want to save him now?" ”
Hu Sanniang gritted her teeth and said: "I'm not going to save him, but to save Zhujiazhuang." Sanzhuang has a covenant, and as long as the covenant is still there, we cannot break our promises. ”
Hu Cheng looked at Sanniang as if he had to leave with a gust of wind, and knew that his sister was afraid that his martial arts were low, and he couldn't go out to save people, but he was caught by Liang Shan.
"Let her go, there must be a covenant in Sanzhuang before, and our lips are cold, and we are not qualified to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight."
"Then what should I do if I repel Liangshan, what should I do if Zhu Biao's guy comes to urge him again, do you really marry my sister to him?"
"When I gave Sanniang to that Zhu Biao, I originally hoped that the two families would become good for Qin and Jin, and the two villages could get along in harmony. How could I have thought that Zhu Chaofeng was so insatiable that he asked me to take half of Hujiazhuang's land as a dowry. It's okay to suffer a small loss, but I can't promise him about this matter. ”
"If I refuse, I'm afraid that Zhujiazhuang will bully me everywhere in the future."
Hu Taigong looked at his weak son and couldn't help but shake his head secretly. began to worry about the problems after his death, although Zhu Biao's domineering surname may cause trouble, but with such a weak surname, it may be difficult to keep the foundation. Sanniang's surname is stronger, but unfortunately she is only a daughter, and she will marry after all.
Hu Taigong sighed and said: "Let's pass the current level first, Liangshan Chaogai was originally a Jingdong hero, and there are many wolf-like leaders under him, and Dong Ping, the double-gun general of Dongping Mansion, has the courage of ten thousand people, and he has become the general of the defeated army." Although Sanzhuang has a favorable location, I am afraid it will not be easy to survive this catastrophe. ”
