Ma Benshan was stunned and was about to answer, when Huang Tianba said on the side: "We are from Mrs. Zhang's house in Zhangjiawan, and we will give a wedding gift to Ma's family." As he spoke, he took out an all-red wedding card from his bosom and sent it up. When Ma Benshan took it, it read:

Zhang Youchen respectfully inspires: The right complainant relies on Ding Sanguan as the matchmaker, thanks to the in-laws Ma Zhenben Benshan Jinnuo, our little girl A Qiu and your second male son Ma Jiyuan married, and Mr. Gao Huang Er came to pay the dowry ceremony, and his feelings were not declared.

August 22, 6th year of Qianlong

The following list reads:

Ten taels of gold, fifty taels of silver, six colored satins, and forty horses of miscellaneous silk in the table

Ma Benshan glanced at it, and knew that his in-laws' side had discussed it carefully with the officials and soldiers, and handed the wedding card to Jiang Sange and said, "Third brother, you have seen it." ”

"Isn't that exquisite?" Third Brother Jiang went upside down to look at the wedding card, but he didn't even recognize a word. Hearing the howl of the slaughtered pig in the backyard, he threw the wedding card on the table and said, "Is there anything delicious, get some of it, do you have any wine?" The pig went into the water and cleaned it up for me, and when I went back, I put it in the donkey's bag, and I went back to the mountain to use it slowly. I'm sitting on the floor at your house to-day, eating and drinking, waiting to make a hole with the brethren. He swallowed a mouthful of saliva as he spoke.

"Yes, yes, what does the third brother want here?" Ma Benshan was worried that these people couldn't get along, so he hurriedly agreed, and called people one after another: "Quick, get a few dishes in the west wing, and the newly opened Sanhe old mash will make a jar for the third brother, and ask the two people in the village to wait!" As he spoke, he pushed and pulled the hairy god with a joke and a joke, turned around and wiped the fine sweat on his forehead, and said: "I'm really afraid that he will look at Xing Zang, so he will start here, but how can it be good?" ”

"You still have this infatuation?" Huang Tianba stared at the people who were shuttling back and forth in the courtyard, and said coldly, "I want my wife to leave peacefully, there is no such possibility." Only by helping the officers and soldiers to fight, cutting the grass and eradicating the roots, can your family be safe! ”

While talking, the courtyard suddenly burst into music, and the three classes of drummers at the gate ate and drank enough, riveted their strength, and played "Celebrating the New Year" like a game - it turned out that it was the time for the groom to welcome his relatives. That Ma Jiyuan was dressed in a wedding dress and a hairpin with golden flowers on his head and walked out of the ancestral hall of the West Courtyard and went straight to the main house to worship Ma Benshan. Ma Benshan stepped out without waiting for him to reach the steps, and stood in front of the dripping eaves, his face blue and red to accept his son's resignation. In the earth-shattering music, he said loudly: "Be careful when riding a horse, the road is not very easy to walk." Greetings to your old Taishan on my behalf, and I will say that I have kept the three guests who gave the dowry. Saying that, he moved down the steps to send his son to the second door, and called Ma Jiyao to arrange to welcome the guests and arrange the banquet seats, Gao Heng in the hall was stunned when he saw Huang Tianba, and he was tired of standing, and said with a smile: "What rules do you still have at this time?" Sit back and relax! ”

"Yes!" Huang Tianba seemed to be preoccupied, sat down with a sigh of relief, and said, "I'm thinking, if there is really another group of strongman bandits who also come to rob the grain, how can we deal with it?" Ding Shixiong said: "That's just a casual remark from this third brother Jiang, where can it be so coincidental?" It doesn't matter if it's really here, Lord Liu has transferred more than 1,000 green battalion soldiers to respond on time, and we will take as many as we want! Gao Heng said: "Be careful not to overdo it." Later, our people will send their relatives over, and we will send someone to contact Liu Zhongtang quickly! ——The day before yesterday, I saw a report from the palace that the bandits of Dongping Mountain and Mao Zhenzu of Ziwei Peak were all defeated by the official army, and the bandit leader did not know where to go. Jiangxi's 'Yizhihua' sneaked into Henan's Dabie Mountain last year, and she may have gone to Shandong, this is not an ordinary bandit, it is a rebellion against the White Lotus Sect and the imperial court! With such a big disaster in Shandong, if there is an excuse for something, gather in one place, attack the state and seize the county, and make trouble, and the whole province will be in chaos! ”

The more Ding Shixiong listened, the more he felt that it made sense, and he also felt that the burden on his shoulders was not trivial, and seeing that the elderly gentry in the courtyard and the neighbors were giving more and more gifts, he got up and said: "This is not the place to speak, let's go to the backyard and let Ma Benshan prepare a room for us, so that it is more convenient to discuss things and direct actions." As he spoke, he beckoned Ma Jiyao and whispered a few words. Ma Jiyao nodded and blinked while listening, and said with a smile: "It's still thoughtful." It's in my room.,Ask the cheap and the sister to wait.,There will be no more mistakes.。 With that, he led the three of them out of the room and into the backyard.

This is a very spacious courtyard courtyard, the high five north rooms live in Ma Benshan and his wife, the eldest son Ma Jiyao lives in the west chamber, the younger son Ma Jiyuan lives in the east chamber north house, and Ma Jiyuan's sister Fangfang lives in the east chamber south house. The four rooms facing north were originally Ma Jiyuan's, but Ma Benshan had other ideas, and built a house for him by the lotus pond in the west of the compound, and the new house was located there. Because Ma Benshan and the old couple went out to entertain guests, the family servants and wives all went to the affairs of the cave room, Ma Ji was still young, and he didn't know where to go to see the excitement, the huge yard was silent, a few big sycamores stretched out bare branches, and the wind swept through the hall, making a dull and monotonous "woo" sound. Ding Shixiong saw that there were observation platforms at the four corners of the courtyard, and couldn't help but say: "Okay, it's rigorous here!" Then he followed Ma Ji into the West Chamber. In the west chamber, Ma Jiyao's mother-in-law, Shen and Fangfang, were doing needlework under the bright window outside. Suddenly saw her husband come in with three strange men, she was ashamed and panicked, and hurriedly pulled up her sister-in-law and hid inside.

"Don't fucking admit yourself like this, today the bandits are going to borrow food, the officials and soldiers are coming to suppress the bandits, the second child is going to marry, seeing that the seven meat and eight vegetables are gathered together, what are you paying attention to!" Ma Jiyao said impatiently: "These masters are all government officials, and it is inconvenient to do errands outside, so they are in this room to command, and you two are waiting!" Ma Shen and Fang Fang only knew about Ji Yuan's marriage, and they had vaguely heard that there were bandits who wanted to borrow food, but they didn't expect this wedding feast to be so dangerous, and they were stunned for a while. After a long time, the Ma Shen clan muttered, "My master! Isn't our Ma family's compound a battlefield? Fang Fang's big eyes widened, and she asked, "Big brother, are these people just blocking the bandits?" Ma Jiyao walked out and hurriedly said, "Women's family, what are you doing with these hearts?" Soup, water, wine and rice are waiting for the adults, everything is up to the orders of these masters! "As he spoke, he was far away.

Ding Shixiong saw that his aunt and sister-in-law were busy washing the pots and cups, carrying stools and wiping the table, so he smiled and said, "Don't be busy with this, we are not guests." The most important thing is to draw a picture of your courtyard—" he took the paper and pen on the windowsill and handed it to Mashen, "and in this way, as if it were embroidery, quickly draw the courtyard houses, the entrances and exits, the ponds and hills, and the surrounding roads. ”

"Understood...... Ma Shen's face flushed, and he agreed with a sigh, shook his hand and took the paper and pen, and Fang Fang squeezed on a stool to draw a topographical map of the village, and drew a few pictures that were crooked. Ding Shixiong comforted and pointed out by the side, and Ma Shen's panicked mood gradually calmed down, and the paintbrush obeyed. Huang Tianba looked at Fang Fang's crimson face from the side, and suddenly remembered that his father Huang Jiuling was seriously ill, and only such an older sister was waiting by the side, and at this moment he was still staying in a small courtyard in Xixiawazi, Beijing, where Li Wei was rewarded. This Fangfang is about the same age as her sister. My father is old and sick, and she deserves it? Poor Huang Jiuling Hero I fought all over the green forest, but was defeated in the hands of the pig iron Buddha under the command of Jiangxi "Yizhihua" in the Zhili competition, and the imperial court also resigned from his post on the charge of "escaping the enemy". A white-headed weak girl, dependent on each other, she can't be filial piety by her side, but she travels thousands of miles away to atone for her father's sins. Who can endure this bitterness! Thinking about it, tears welled up in his eyes. As soon as Fang Fang looked up, she saw Huang Tianba looking at her stupidly, her face flushed, and when she went to move the inkstone, she accidentally splashed ink on her hands, and it was not easy to leave her body to wash it, she looked down at her sister-in-law, and her heart fluttered like a deer, and she never dared to raise her head again. Gao Heng was admiring Ma Shen's posture, because he stood close, the warmth and aroma of Shen's body came to him, which made this "national uncle" a little bit of a horse heart ape. He himself has three ladies on both sides, and several girls in the room are also handsome. However, since he met Queen Fucha's maiden brother Tang'er, he felt that "the family has no color". At first, I saw that he still had a smiling face, said a few words, and could smack her gently, but then it became colder and colder, and when I met him at home in the palace, I didn't even look at him. Later, Gao Heng spent 1,000 taels of silver to find out that this chick had hooked up with the current Long Live Qianlong! Not to mention that women are snobbish and have big eyes, Gao Heng doesn't have the courage to taste this "forbidden" just by saying it! No wonder Fu Heng rose again and again, and before the age of thirty, he entered the Xuanfu of the Military Aircraft Department to pay homage to the prime minister, no wonder Tang'er asked whether it was a man or a woman as soon as he came to the palace, and gave him the name Fukangan! Dare to love Fu Heng is promoted in a green turban, and Fukangan is actually a "dragon species"! …… This Mashen's appearance can't be compared with Tang'er, sitting sideways, the shadow, the movement, the posture, the light and the hair, the neck that is as white as clotted nephrite, it really looks a little like Tang'er! Gao Heng has been on an errand outside Beijing for a long time, and he has just returned to Beijing and transferred to Shandong as a political envoy, and the official has been promoted quickly, but his family life has not been warm for a long time, and he is like a widower......

Ding Shixiong saw that they had drawn the picture, took it and frowned just to judge, pointed out a few things that he didn't understand and asked, and said, "Two of you, please, pour some tea, don't worry about anything else." He only pointed to the picture and said to Huang Tian: "The bandits will not fail to guard against Ma Benshan, you see the lotus pond in the northwest corner of this courtyard, half of it is outside the courtyard, and now it is the season for Qingtang to dig lotus roots, which is equivalent to a road without a courtyard wall." Liu Sanbald will definitely set up a group of people here, and there will be no guards and something to answer. Therefore, the more than 100 people we brought with us can't all go around in the hall, and we have to assign 30 people to block this passage, and if this group of people wants to escape, stick to them and can't get out. In short, if we capture Liu San's bald man, how can we do it-Eighth Master, what do you say? ”

"Huh? Yes! Gao Heng patronized and admired the posture of the Ma Shen clan, his eyes were so straight that he forgot about his feelings, and hurriedly replied with a smile, "The little flower cat in the corner is really interesting-Brother Ding is worthy of the veteran army with the soldiers, and he thinks thoughtfully!" Tianba, you can just sum it up, I'll just sit and watch the battle! As he spoke, he saw Ma Shen's coming with a tea tray, so he got up and took the tea tray handed by Ma Shen's, as if he had inadvertently stroked a finger in her warm palm, and the tea tray was almost touched. Everyone else was thinking about their own thoughts, and no one paid attention to this Uncle Gao Guo who was also moved by spring love at this moment. Ding Shixiong looked at the sun shadow outside the window, and said: "Our soldiers are all coming with Zhangjiawan to send relatives, it should also be here at this time, there are no less than four people in Taiping Town, the battle is too bad, and we have to prevent our soldiers from taking advantage of the fire to rob, Master Gao, you will stay here to sit in town, and I will go out with Tianba to take care of it." This idea was in Gao Heng's arms, and he said yes again and again, and said: "That's it, I'll wait for Ma Ji to visit the flower hall before going out." Am I Zhangjiawan's 'Fu Xianglang'! ”

Everyone went for a while, and only Gao Heng and the Ma family's sister-in-law were left in the huge room. It's a bit awkward here and now, and there's neither gossip nor busyness to talk about. Gao Heng saw that the woman of the Ma Shen clan had black hair and shiny hair, and although the hair on her sideburns was a little messy, it was very charming and lovely. A pair of small feet are hidden under the skirt and swallow, appearing and disappearing, a pair of black eyes are looking forward to it, as if they can speak, and from time to time they send a glimpse of the autumn wave to make Gao Heng's heart itch. After all, he is a veteran of the love field, and in a blink of an eye, he has already got an idea, took a sip of tea, and called Fangfang with a smile and asked, "Are you Ma Benshan's daughter?" ”

"Hmm."

"What's your name?"

"Fangfang."

"Are there any sisters?"

"Nope." Fang Fang glanced at the young official, she didn't understand why she had asked herself to ask about these things.

Gao Heng glanced at Ma Shen's family, grinned, and said with envy: "The handsome birds in the deep mountains are really true!" Not only is it like flowers, but the first-hand female worker is more delicate than the needlework in the palace! - Did you tie the peony on the pillowcase? Fangfang is an unworldly boudoir girl, she was praised by him and blushed, and said on tiptoe: "I learned from my mother, I didn't embroider well, and I made the master laugh......" Gao Heng smiled and untied the Wolong bag from his waist and handed it over, and said: "Look, this is the work done by the inner court, is it comparable to the flowers you embroidered?" - Well, this thread has bloomed, do you think you can re-tie a golden thread? ”

"We don't have a bright yellow line like this in the house." Fang Fang looked carefully at the Wolong bag, "In this place where the thread is blooming, use the gold thread to pinch a piece of edge first, and then pierce a lotus lotus-colored cloud, I'm afraid it will be covered." Ma Shen had already figured out Gao Heng's heart, such a noble and romantic character, she also loved it in her heart, so she instigated on the side: "Use the two clips on the loom in your house to tighten it, and embroider it with silver red, lotus lotus, and moon white three-color thread, and this bag will look elegant." "Exactly, exactly!" Gao Heng smiled with joy, "The craftsmen of the Jinan embroidery room also said so, but I am not satisfied with their embroiderers." As he spoke, he took out a handful of golden melon seeds, salivated and smiled, "Just Miss Lao bothered to clean it up for me, and after a while, your second brother entered the cave room, and I took this threaded Wolong bag as a concubine, and it didn't look good, didn't it?" Fangfang was greeted by him, took the Wolong bag, but did not accept the money, and smiled: "I'll try it - you spend money for this, what have I become?" Ma Shen smiled: "Master reward, you can accept it!" Keep it for your dowry and pack it well! Isn't that a thank you? Gao Heng did a good job and finally put the golden melon seeds on the Wolong bag, and Fangfang squatted down to thank him.

Gao Heng watched Fangfang enter the east wing, listened to the sound of fiddling with the loom, and then returned to his seat, smiling and looking at Ma Shen's without saying a word. Ma Shen's heart jumped in a panic, rubbing the corners of his clothes, and only after a while did he say, "You're thirsty, I'll change a cup of tea for you-" As he spoke, he poured the leftover tea on the table, and poured a bowl from the tea hanger with both hands. Gao Heng didn't pick it up, only stared at Ma Shen's in a daze, as if admiring a pot of flowers. After a while, he said, "I'm thirsty." I was so thirsty, I was thirsty all over my body......" Ma Shenshi put the bowl back and left, but Gao Heng took the first step and held his wrists tightly, took out a hand and took her in his arms, and said in a trembling voice: "...... Good kiss, where do you want any tea? You will quench my thirst......"

"You are masters, and you are ...... Indecent? Ma Shen couldn't shout or get angry, he couldn't break free after a few struggles, and he was in Gao Heng's arms, and the warm manly breath also made her uncertain, and she immediately softened, closed her eyes and didn't move, and just muttered: "You let go of me...... That's too much to say...... How good is it for people to see it? ……”

Gao Hengxin took out a silver ticket and threw it on the table, picked up Ma Shen's and sat on his lap, and stretched out one hand to reach into Ma Shen's small clothes, rubbing and rubbing between her breasts,...... While smacking his lips and kissing him, he said indiscriminately: "That's five hundred taels of silver tickets—it's his blessing to see it...... Why is it so fragrant? Ahh......h The two of them hugged each other on the stool, and there was the sound of cows panting in the huge room. Gao Heng asked:

"Sister-in-law......"

"Hmm......"

"How is Big Brother Bima?"

"Hmm!"

Gao Heng saw that Ma Shen's face was shy, and he was already in a daze, and suddenly, there was a sound of suona sheng in unison in the distance, and firecrackers rang out like porridge, and Ma Shen's came to his senses. The two got up to tidy up their clothes, Gao Heng smiled and straightened Ma Shen's sideburns, and said: "The second brother didn't enter the cave room, the sister-in-law tasted the joy of fish and water first-I only ask you, how is Brother Bima?" ”

Ma Shen whispered: "He is a useless person, and he is anxious to have a son, and he scolds me every day for being inferior to a cat, and the cat also knows how to eat wild food from elsewhere!" Don't look serious, old man, you've touched me a few times behind your back...... At his age, his beard is unshaven, and it's not disgusting! - If you are willing, stay here for a few more days after the mission. He smiled as he spoke. While speaking, Fang Fang coughed lightly outside, then pushed the door in, and said: "I have already finished embroidering, and I went to the second door to take a look, I heard that the guests who should have come have come......" She held the Wolong bag with both hands, avoided Gao Heng's gaze, and whispered: "The thick needle and big thread are difficult to enter the eyes of the uncle of the country......"

Gao Heng took it and looked at it carefully, and said with a smile: "Who dares to say that this needle and thread is bad?" - Who do you hear me say I'm 'Uncle Guo'? Ma Shen couldn't imagine that Fang Cai and himself were so close to the emperor, his heart was sweet, his face was even brighter, and he felt extraordinary. Fang Fang said coyly: "It's the descendant surnamed Huang who followed the master." As he was talking, Huang Tianba hurriedly came in with a curtain, and said to Gao Heng: "Lord Fantai, the platform is waiting in front, our people are all here." You are a concubine, and you have to accompany the bride into the cave room to complete the ceremony! Gao Heng listened and asked, "How many people came?" So saying, he pulled his feet and left.

"A hundred tables have been set up," Huang Tianba replied as he followed closely, "There are a thousand people!" ”

"Where's the Black Wind Village?"

"No news yet. Someone has been sent to investigate. ”

"Maybe someone has already infiltrated Majiazhuang?"

"There will definitely be a lot of mixed in, but Liu San's bald man hasn't shown his face yet......"

While the two were talking, they had come to the main hall of the Ma family compound, Gao Heng walked up the stone steps, passed through the hall, and was faced with an empty field of more than two acres. The east side of the empty field is full of tables, the front row of ten tables, full of people, are some gentlemen wearing robes and horse coats, and the back row is some teaching gentlemen, old Xiucai, doctors, Lang Zhong and the like, one by one sipping melon seeds, eating tea and chatting, casually looking at the play, looking reserved. The people in the next few rows are getting poorer and poorer, some squatting on stools drinking tea and smoking dry tobacco, some with open arms and obliquely draped in old sheep's jackets, and some unkempt children burrowing and crawling between the legs of the table, chattering and laughing and shouting hide and seek, and the crowd is full of voices. The four classes of drummers played brighter than the other, and the crackling of firecrackers, all of which blended together, showing the breadth of the master's communication and his magnificence. Gao Heng looked up at the couplets on both sides of the main hall. I saw that there was a large "Xi" word hanging in the center of the lintel, and the word "Douda" was written on the lintel:

Xian'e's ethereal subordinates are close to the world, and they are honored to return to the cave

Gao Heng couldn't help but smile, seeing Huang Tianba pointing at the bride and groom in the doorway, he was stunned for a moment before he came to his senses and hurriedly walked a few steps, followed the bride to the main hall step by step, the courtyard was full of walnuts, red dates, chestnuts, the sound of firecrackers sounded above his head and in his ears, and the sparks burst into his neck and burned him - only then did Gao Heng understand the wonderful use of the bride's red scarf, and the taste of not having that play was really unbearable - from the door to the hall. The two Xing Gelang didn't know how much money they had won, and they sang happily with a wide, bright and elastic voice:

Chang'e is wrapped in silk and silver silk, and it is said that the green worm has done a lot.

The splendid layout is thousands of runs, and it is the same as the history of Xiao Luanpo.

Another immediately agreed:

A gentleman has never cherished gold, and this intention has become deeper.

I want my relatives to talk about it, and I don't have to worry about introducing my father's heart.

Gao Heng pondered carefully, Huang Tianba followed the groom, and it was obvious that he was playing the role of the Ma family, and so on, Xing Gelang must also be a family - ten miles of different winds, a hundred miles of different customs, Beijing has no such rules. Just thinking about it, the boss Lilang stood at the entrance of the hall and held a silver candle in his hand and said loudly: "The husband is handing over the job!" ”

"Why is there such a ritual?" Gao Heng couldn't help but panic when he saw the two Xing Ge Lang dancing approaching, he didn't know how to "hand over" the method, and when he looked at Huang Tianba, he was also at a loss. The two singers danced in front of them and looked at each other for a moment, then turned back to face the master of ceremonies and sang in unison:

In the good period, Liu Ruan will be a true immortal, thank you Dongjun for your life.

It is difficult to be ashamed of oneself, that is, to serve the feast of the high cabinet.

Gao Heng laughed secretly when he heard this, this word is made up interestingly, he was humble on my behalf, and invited me to a feast and wine! was pursing his lips and being happy, but the two Xing Gelang sang to Huang Tianba and Gao Heng:

Xing'e looks at the fairy, and Mo Dao is long.

If you are willing to look for the red silk and benefit the city, you will return to the cave to serve Luanhuang.

Sing again:

Qingluan wrote into the Qin Tower, and the red leaf inscription poem was sent to Chugou.

Tonight, you may wish to give a little brocade to wrap your head.

Only then did the two understand that "handing over" was not a substitute for nothing, but they had to pay out of their pockets, and they couldn't help but smile at each other. Gao Heng brought a handful of golden melon seeds to Fangfang, and that kind of object is not suitable for the people, there are still a few silver tickets in the sleeve, but they are all big silver tickets of five hundred taels. In a panic, the two general corner servants of the Ma family had already sent over a string of red silk wrapped money...... Then step into the brazier, straddle the saddle, place apples, step into the house, give flower arrangements to the newlyweds, and there are poems and praises everywhere. The bride has entered the door of the Ma family. The master of ceremonies sang loudly: "Let's play!" Dozens of firecrackers were lit at the same time, and the four drummers stood at the gate in red and green, and they had enough strength to blow desperately. Suddenly, the purple mist outside the hall was filled with golden flowers. The celebrant raised his voice and invited Ma Benshan to take a seat, a couple of newcomers worshiped heaven and earth, worshiped the high hall, and the husband and wife worshipped each other. Gao Heng and Huang Tianba had retreated to both sides unconsciously, only to see Fangfang dressed in Qi Chu, stepped forward to pick up the new sister-in-law, and Ma Jiyuan then followed and sent her into the cave room.

At this moment, the firecrackers in and outside the hall burned out, the drum music stopped, and it was a little quieter. Gao Heng came back to his senses from his festive mood and searched for Ding Shixiong with his eyes. The hall and courtyard are crowded with people, where can they be found. Ding Shixiong saw Gao Heng staring at the crowd, so he squeezed over along the wall from the side, patted him on the shoulder behind his back, and whispered: "Eighth master, I'm here, it's too chaotic here, borrow a step to speak!" Gao Heng turned his face and saw that Ding Shixiong's face was full of unkempt beard, and he couldn't help laughing: "What I said, I can't find you with my eyes open!" With that, he followed Ding Shixiong, bypassed the curtain specially set up for female dependents in the west, and arrived at the back of the main hall. I only listened to the laughter and laughter of the noisy cave room in the west courtyard, and Mr. Sa Tent was singing "Sa Tent Song" with his voice in his voice:

Sprinkle the tent east, like a goddess under the witch peak. Surrounded by fairy langs to the phoenix tent, the red clouds unveiled a heavy ......

Everyone clapped their hands and agreed: "-Heavy! ”

Sprinkle the west of the tent, and the brocade tassels hang down at the four corners. When you uncover it, you will see the face of E'e, so that you can break a branch with Xianlang......

The crowd said, "-Break a branch!" ”

Spread the tent south, so happy and delayed. The cool moon is good, and the double embroidered belt is a good man......

The crowd sang in unison: "...... Pei Yi man! ”

Gao Heng couldn't help but smile when he thought of Fang Cai and Ma Shen's affair. Seeing that he was so calm, Ding Shixiong admired him sincerely, and said with a smile: "At this time, the master still has the heart to listen to this slang song!" Half bandits and half officers and soldiers in the atrium, if one is not careful, it will be out of control if he lights the cannon twist! Gao Heng watched the Zhuang Ding holding bundles of candles to the feast, his heart was also tight, he looked at the sky where the twilight was getting heavier and heavier, and asked, "Is Liu San's bald man here?" Why didn't you see it? ”

"I came here when I applied for the card, and I was in Jiang Sange's house."

"Didn't you say yes? Drunk him first! ”

"He's holding it very steadily, and he doesn't get a drop of wine."

Gao Heng showed a contemptuous smile on his face, nodded and said, "Tell Huang Tianba to see him in prison!" As soon as the feast is dispersed, he will be hacked to death with a knife first, and the rest of the dragons will have no leader, so it doesn't matter if a few escape! Ding Shixiong stroked his fake beard and said, "What the eighth master said is true." But I think there's always something wrong, as if something else is going to happen......"

"Huh?"

"I can't tell...... There are only 100 bandits in total, plus officers and soldiers, 200 people, there are more than 300 people in the main hall, and there are more tables added one by one, where are there so many uninvited guests? Ding Shixiong said slowly, as if he was a little hesitant: "...... No matter how stupid the bandits are, they know a strategy, Liu Sanbald can rest assured that he is here, there must be an arrangement outside. That—the number of people is even more wrong. Oh, and there was another thing, and there was a young man sitting at the table near the door, the one with a large folding fan of lacquer in his hand. is very conspicuous, has the eighth master paid attention? ”

Gao Heng tilted his head and thought for a while, immediately remembered, and said, "It looks very dignified, I saw it." What, what's so unusual about him? ”

"He is the heaviest congratulatory gift, two thousand four hundred taels of silver!"

Gao Heng was taken aback: when the youngest son of Zhang Tingyu, the prime minister of the dynasty and the patriarch of the three dynasties, got married, the prince of the east was the heaviest gift, and it was only 1,600 taels of silver! - What is the origin of this man? I didn't have time to think about it, but at this time, I saw a group of old girls and women coming from the west surrounded by the groom Ma Ji, and they knew that the cave room was completed, and the groom greeted the guests. Gao Heng saw that he couldn't say anything, and said in a low voice: "Send a few people to keep an eye on him, and pay special attention to him!" With that, he turned back and went back to the hall.

At this time, two or three hundred candles were lit in and outside the hall, and it was bright and bright everywhere. At the banquet, the officers and soldiers, bandits, and some uninvited guests who did not know their identities sat together, clasping their arms and fists, guessing riddles, and their faces turned red one by one, and the floating soil on the beams of the house fell in a slump.

"Six-six-six! Four seasons of spring! Eight sedan chairs, nine longevity! One-must rise, you fucking give Lao Tzu a drink! ”

"The sunrise is a little red in the east, and the loser is a wine hero!"

"Retribution, Yang Zongbao guards the three sides!"

"Four to four, Nanjing City, Beijing City, and Red City!"

In the chaos, Gao Heng walked towards the chief, and Ding Shixiong also followed. Ma Benshan looked in a trance, looking resigned to fate, surrounded by several brothers of the family and pouring wine, seeing Gao Heng and Ding Shixiong coming in with a majestic spirit, followed by the groom, everyone stopped arguing.
