Chapter 31: Forced Marriage

Yue Fei ignored what others said, and walked to a corner of the martial arts hall, where a bed crossbow was placed. When he was in Qilin Village, Yue Fei was already very familiar with the bed crossbow, and after a few efforts, he removed the giant bow on the bed crossbow. He also asked the yacha next to him for three long arrows for bed crossbows, and moved them to the white line of archery with bows and arrows.

Everyone was very puzzled, what kind of fame was this Yue Fei doing? Not to mention that the giant bow of the bed crossbow usually takes five to seven people to move, and even if you can, the hands are not long enough?

I saw Yue Fei signal the drummer to play the slow drum three times, then stand still, hold the long arrow horizontally in his mouth, stand with his left foot, hold the bow with his right foot and point directly at the arrow stack, pull the string with his right hand, "um", the giant bow was pulled for a full moon.

Ladies and gentlemen, Yue Fei had an arrow in his mouth, so he could only make a "uh-huh" sound.

When the soldiers beating the drums saw Yue Fei so imposing, they immediately became enthusiastic and tried their best to beat the big drum.

The sound of a thick drum with a "bang" was like a thunder on the ground, and everyone's hearts were torn off, and they hurriedly covered their ears.

A long arrow, shot out with the thunder, as fast as lightning, shot a large hole in the middle of the stack. The battlement of arrows could not be forced, and fell with the wind.

The audience was silent for a while, and then the applause was thunderous, which was too powerful. Not only did the people who came to see the excitement cheer in unison, but the martial arts boys in the towns and towns were also suppressed!

Yue Fei was going to shoot three arrows in a row, but the arrow stack was not forced, and one arrow was scattered, so he had to return to the martial arts hall to resume his life.

The county lord Li was overjoyed, so he returned to the county government with Zhou Tong and the others, leaving the master and the head to continue the exam.

Back at the county office, the county lord Li still insisted that Zhou Tong take a seat, and the rest sat down according to the guests.

After serving tea, the county lord Li asked Zhou Dong: "How old is the disciple?" Have you ever been married? ”

Zhou Tong said: "I have spent twenty-eight in vain, and I haven't decided on a marriage yet." However, Fei'er seems to have a crush. ”

County Lord Li said: "This is okay. I have a daughter, who is very young and delicate, and who is well-read and knowledgeable. Last month, I helped her make a hexagram to ask about marriage, and the hexagram should be today. I think the two of them are a match made in heaven. Since ancient times, marriage is the order of parents, and according to the words of the matchmaker, Mr. Zhou can help Fei'er make the decision. ”

Ladies and gentlemen, look at this Li County Lord, Zhou Tong has not yet agreed, he has already regarded himself as his father-in-law.

Zhou Tong shirked: "Fei'er still has his mother in the hall, and he has to ask his mother about this." ”

County Lord Li smiled: "Where the ceremony is, this is as it should be." In a few days, I will personally go to Qilin Village to pay a visit, and by the way, I will send the little girl's Geng post. ”

Zhou Tong saw that the county lord Li was coming, and he didn't like it, so he replied: "I have learned." ”

Then he said goodbye to Li Chun, went out of the yamen with Yue Fei and others, and went out of the city and returned to the village together.

The county lord Li looked at Zhou Tong's background, smiled, and thought: "Wufu is a martial artist after all, so reckless." How do you know my hole cards? This Yue Fei is so good, he will become a great weapon in the future, and I will make him my son-in-law of Chenglong. ”

………………………………。

Zhou Tong and his entourage returned to Qilin Village on the same day. Wang, Tang, and Zhang immediately set up a banquet to feast on the fellow villagers and congratulate several junior students on their outstanding martial arts examinations.

After the banquet, Zhou Tong went to the small courtyard of the Yue'an people to visit the An'an people.

Yue Fei led Zhou Tong into the living room, and Yue Anren had been waiting for a long time.

Zhou Tong looked at the Yue'an man, his hair was half white, and his face was haggard. It turned out that in recent years, because Yue Fei had studied art with Zhou Tong, he rarely accompanied his mother. Yue'an people are alone and lonely, and they miss the emperor of Huizong and the life in the palace more and more. The health is getting worse and worse, although there is medicine sent by Mr. Zhou, it is always a symptom but not a cure.

Zhou Tong sighed, and then mentioned to Yue Anren the marriage covenant of the county lord of Li.

Yue Anren asked Yue Fei about his wishes.

Yue Fei took the opportunity to tell An Ren that he had made a private agreement with Miss Nie for life, and wanted to marry after martial arts.

Yue Anren was very kind to his son, and said: "Since this is the case, the county lord can't force it, he can come to the door, and I will refuse politely." ”

Yue Fei hurriedly thanked his mother for her understanding.

Three days later, Li Chun, the county lord, really brought a group of people to visit Yue'an.

Li Chun is a parent official, and the squire fathers and elders of Qilin Village also came over to join in the fun.

After some etiquette and greetings, Li Chun mentioned the marriage to Yue Anren. As Li Chun expected, An Ren politely refused. Li Chun asked the others to wait for Lu to go out and talk to Yue Anren alone.

Zhou Tong got angry and said, "My lord, Yue An is a widow, are you going too far?" ”

Li Chun was not annoyed, and replied: "I do have confidential matters to discuss with Yue Anren. If Mr. Zhou is not at ease, he can stay. The rest of the people waited to leave immediately.

After all, he is the lord of a county, and as soon as Li Chun's voice fell, everyone else left. Only Yue Anren, Mr. Zhou and Li Chun were left in the house.

Seeing that there was no one else, Li Chun suddenly came to Yue Anren, bowed his head, and shouted: "Concubine Yao is a thousand years old, the official is late to visit, don't be surprised." ”

When Yue Anren heard this, it was like a thunderbolt in the clear sky, and he suddenly lost his mind. And Zhou Tong watched coldly on the side, with murderous intent on his face.

Li Chun hurriedly explained: "Niangniang, Xia Guan was originally a scholar of the Master of the Seed Master, and when Daoist Wang Chongyang came to escort him, it was also a letter sent by Xia Guan. Speaking of which, the lower officials can be regarded as a meritorious escort. ”

Yue Anren and Zhou Dong breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that they were the parties.

Li Chun continued: "Taishi Cai Jing had some doubts about the events of the past, and it all relied on the full strength of Master Dao. This time, the imperial court went to the Liao State, and the seed lord went out with the army. Before leaving, he said to his subordinates that this expedition would be a life of death. He donated the post of magistrate to the lower officials. First, you can take care of your mother, and second, you can also give your subordinates a way out. ”

Yue'an asked Zhou Tong to help Li Chun up, and said: "The phoenix in distress is not as good as a chicken." Now that the mourning family is such a field, the Qing family does not have to follow the rules of the imperial court.

Li Chun knew what was going on very well, stood up and replied: "In the minds of the lower officials, Niangniang will always be Niangniang." ”

Yue Anren smiled bitterly and replied, "In that case, what about marriage?" ”

Li Chun had a straight face and said: "Yu Niangniang, this joint marriage is actually for the good of the prince. ”

Yue Anren asked anxiously what to understand.

Li Chun explained: "In terms of martial arts, the lower officials are less than one-ten-thousandth of Mr. Zhou; But in terms of the way of being an official, the various rules in officialdom, including various connections, etc., the lower officials are far better than Mr. Zhou. When the prince grows up in the future, whether he wants to return to the emperor or even inherit the unification, the lower officials can assist the prince and pave the way for the prince, so that the prince will get twice the result with half the effort and smooth sailing. Once married, the lower officials will be famous for their work. Moreover, Xia Guan once made a hexagram that the little girl does have a fate with the prince, which is a match made in heaven. ”

After speaking, Li Chun handed his daughter's Geng post to Yue Anren
