Chapter 1 The Wedding Banquet
After Situ Rui ascended the throne, the national strength became stronger and stronger, the national militia was enriched, and the country was peaceful and peaceful.
On a mountain on the border, a cottage village of bandits, the local people call them the Thieves Gang.
Although they are thieves, they are chivalrous, robbing the rich and helping the poor, and distributing the stolen and robbed things to the poor people, so for the people, they are relieved by the gods, so they are called the thief fairy gang.
The leader of the Thief Immortal Gang, petite and thin, covered with mud, dirty, swaggering in walking, speaking vulgarly, like a barbarian, everyone in the gang called the gang leader Da Mao Mu.
Only the elders of the gang know that in fact, the leader of their Thief Immortal Gang is a daughter, beautiful and beautiful, and her name is as good as her name, Shui Ling'er, but in order to have the majesty of the gang leader, she makes herself dirty, and she is simply a man, and she will follow the men in the gang to flirt with women from good families.
Patriarch Fu Xi couldn't stand it, so he privately found Shui Ling'er and said, "Da Mao Ni, you are eighteen years old, all girls at this age are married, it's time for you to recover your daughter's body."
Shui Ling'er dug out the earwax in her ears and flicked it to the side, her feet were even more open on the table, and she said impatiently: "Father Fuxi, where do you see me like a woman, it's almost the same to find a woman to be my wife." After speaking, he raised his head and laughed wildly.
Father Fu Xi sighed and said, "I'm really ashamed of the dead former helper, when he was alive, he always said that he should have a slim, well-behaved and docile daughter." He looked at Shui Ling'er, who was picking his nose, and scolded, "Are you listening to me?"
Shui Ling'er has heard Fu Xi say the same thing hundreds of times, her ears are almost cocooned, and she can still recite his words backwards, she said: "I have, you will say that Daddy wants me to be virtuous and capable, and I can marry a good family, but Father Fu Xi, look at me, what good family wants a daughter-in-law like me?" Maybe the other party will be stunned when they meet.
Fu Xi said: "You find a day to clean yourself, put on a pink shirt and skirt, and go around the street, and someone will definitely break down the door to propose." He believes that with her appearance, she will be able to charm many sons.
Shui Ling'er said disdainfully, "Can you still walk in a shirt and skirt?" It was too difficult for her to walk with her feet together, and she said, "It's better to wear these pants." Not only can you walk and run, but you can also kick people.
"You're a girl after all." After all, he has to marry and fulfill the last wish of the former gang leader.
Shui Ling'er stood up and said unwillingly, "I want to be a man! God gave me the wrong body, I should be a man."
Fu Xi sighed and said, "If you don't want to get married, go and catch a man and come back, and get his seed pregnant, so that we can have a successor to the Thief Immortal Gang."
Shui Ling'er's eyes lit up, and she said happily, "Okay, I'll go and catch a man and come back." It's much easier than her getting married.
Fu Xi looked at her in surprise, he was just joking, he didn't expect her to take it seriously, he said, "Do you know how to get pregnant when you catch a man back?" Although she often fooled around with the men in the gang, he didn't know that she didn't know what was going on in the room.
Shui Ling'er said without shyness: "Father Fuxi, I've been to Hualou and peeked at it, it's not that difficult." Isn't it just a matter of putting the man's stuff in there?
Fu Xi almost weakened his legs, and one girl said that he did not blush or be shy in the slightest, because he had no way to teach, and he was really ashamed of his former helper.
Xiaohu, who was always tired of Shui Ling'er in the gang, ran into the house and said excitedly: "Big mud, the old man Zhuang's wedding team is about to pass through the main road!"
Shui Ling'er said excitedly, "Hurry up and tell everyone to bring the guys and come and grab all the valuable things."
Zhuang old man is a rich family in the town, stingy, and robbed the people's daughter, today this marriage team is a tenant farmer can not pay the rent, Zhuang old man forced him to draw a mortgage, sell the girl to pay off the debt.
The lord of the government is also a friend of the old man Zhuang, and the two make a lot of profits from each other.
At this time, it is the thieves and immortals who are chivalrous and righteous and do the right thing for heaven.
Shui Ling'er ran out after Xiaohu, leaving Fu Xi full of self-blame.
On the main road, the woods on both sides were dense, and Shui Ling'er, Xiaohu and the people of the Thief Immortal Gang hid in the trees on both sides of the main road.
Although the marriage team did not beat gongs and drums, eight people carried the sedan chair before and after, two maidservants next to the sedan chair in the middle, a matchmaker, and twelve red boxes at the back, carried by twenty-four people.
As soon as they passed the ambush place of the Thieves and Immortals, Shui Ling'er made a gesture, and all the people rushed to the marriage team with wooden sticks, they wanted money rather than human life, so they didn't carry swords, only wooden sticks, and knocked people out.
The wedding team was chaotic, and the matchmaker stood in front of the sedan chair and shouted, "Come on, come and protect the young lady." If this woman has any case, not only will she not be able to get the silver taels of her matchmaker's gift, but she will also offend Master Zhuang, who is a rich and noble person, if she offends, it will be equivalent to cutting off her wealth.
Shui Ling'er ran to the sedan chair and grabbed the matchmaker's collar, but before the matchmaker could beg for mercy, he was punched in the face and then pushed aside.
Shui Ling'er lifted the curtain and said to the bride inside, "You are Xiaozi, right? I'm Da Maoni, and your father is waiting for you on the bridge at the foot of the mountain, so go and meet him and leave here."
Xiao Zi knew that Da Mao Mu usually received relief from many thieves and immortals, and she said movingly, "Thank you." After speaking, she ran out of the sedan chair and was about to run towards the foot of the mountain when she was stopped by Shui Ling'er.
Shui Ling'er's sudden thought made her look up and down at the wedding dress on Xiao Zi's body, as well as the phoenix crown on her head, and she said, "You leave the phoenix crown and the wedding dress."
Although Xiao Zi didn't understand, she still took off the phoenix crown as Shui Ling'er said, took off her wedding dress, and ran to the foot of the mountain.
Shui Ling'er looked at the matchmaker who fell to the side, and chuckled, "Matchmaker, I was rude just now, do me a favor."
The matchmaker was afraid that she would be beaten again, so she had to listen to Shui Ling'er obediently.
Two hours later, the wedding party arrived in front of Master Zhuang's house.
Gongs and drums were beaten in front of the house, firecrackers rang out, and the onlookers turned their heads and ears, and heard that after the son of the old man Zhuang married this daughter-in-law, he was going to the imperial capital to take the test, less than a few years, more than ten years, or even longer, so this daughter-in-law was married to the two old people to rest assured, and everyone sympathized with the woman who married into the Zhuang family at a young age to keep the widow.
Zhuang Ziran, the young master of the Zhuang family, has been waiting in front of the house, as long as he brings the bride in to worship heaven and earth, he will go to the imperial capital, he does not want to meet the woman in the cave room, he wants to imitate the behavior of today's saint in a lifetime, and become a good story among the people.
After the matchmaker said some auspicious words according to the usual practice, she took the bride out of the sedan chair and handed it to Zhuang Ziran.
Next, according to the custom ceremony, after worshipping everything that should be worshipped, the bride finally enters the cave room.
In the cave room, after the bride sat upright for a while, she impatiently lifted the red scarf, revealing a beautiful face.
Shui Ling'er took out a large bag from her arms and began to search for valuable items in the room.
Her plan was to pretend to be a bride and come to the Zhuangfu, while the rest of the Thieves Gang pretended to be the sedan chair and the box bearer to make a big fuss at the banquet in the Zhuangfu, so she took advantage of the chaos to join them and leave the Zhuangfu together.
Half an hour later, after she wrapped all the valuable items in a large scarf, she immediately rushed out of the room, but unexpectedly bumped into Zhuang Ziran who was about to enter the door, and the two fell to the ground, and the big bag towel that Shui Ling'er was carrying behind fell to the ground, and the gold, silver and jewelry inside were scattered on the ground.
Shui Ling'er shouted in pain: "Which king doesn't have long eyes and doesn't see Lao Tzu, right?"
Zhuang Ziran stood up in pain, saw the gold, silver and jewelry scattered on the ground, and wanted to scold the thief, but when he saw the person who was slowly getting up and wearing a wedding dress, he was not surprised to look stupid.
This is the first time he has seen such a beautiful woman, which makes him excited, and her wedding dress, she is his bride, he even wants to leave her to go to the imperial capital, he is really in the blessing and does not know the blessing.
Zhuang Ziran quickly tidied up his appearance and said softly, "Lady, what are you doing?"
Seeing that her deeds were revealed, Shui Ling'er grabbed a handful of gold, silver and jewelry and stuffed them into the wedding dress, and then punched Zhuang Ziran in the face mercilessly, shouting, "Don't get in the way of Lao Tzu." After speaking, he quickly ran past Zhuang Ziran and rushed to the banquet hall to meet the others.
The banquet hall was really in chaos, and Xiaohu, who was flipping over the table and losing his chair, saw Shui Ling'er running and shouted loudly, "Runaway." After saying that, he pulled Shui Ling'er and ran out, and the others followed one after another.
Xiaohu peeked at Shui Ling'er in a wedding dress while running, it turned out that she was a daughter, and she was so beautiful, he didn't understand why she always pretended to be a man, and she was dirty all over, he said, "Da Mao Mu, you look good like this, why do you want to dress up as a man?"
Shui Ling'er rolled her eyes, and hit the back of Xiaohu's head with a palm, she said, "You think I want to be a woman? I wish I were a man!"
Xiaohu said aggrievedly, "I'm just asking."
After a while, when they saw that no one was catching up, they ran to the place where they had hidden the big red box at the foot of the mountain.
They opened the big red box one after another, gold, silver, jewelry, silverware, jade, and carved leather coats, and Shui Ling'er shouted happily: "Half of them will be moved back to the cottage village, and half will be distributed to the people."
Everyone cheered in unison and began to work together to carry boxes of big red boxes.
In the main hall of Zhuang's mansion, Master Zhuang and the old lady sat angrily on the big seats at the front, looking at the tenant farmers and Xiaozi kneeling in front of them.
The tenant farmer and Xiao Zi waited on the riverbank for the boatman to pick them up to cross the river, but they were caught by the guards of the government.
Zhuang Ziran, who was in the room, heard that the servant had come to report that his bride had been arrested, and immediately walked quickly to the main hall.
