Chapter 9 of the Heavenly Machine Chapter 103 Marriage Beam

After a while, I saw that the old man in front of the ancestral hall really shouted: "Folks, let's start the beam shooting ceremony!" No matter how old or young, but all men, please move to the marriage beam, and express God's blessings to the newlyweds through the palms of your hands!! ”

After finishing speaking, I saw the tax officer with a red face walking slowly to the stone beam, and the entourage behind him held a large stack of red envelopes in both hands, only to hear the tax officer laugh and shout: "The dog is married, and I will prepare a little happy money in the next place, and thank you to the villagers for patting the beam to prove this marriage." Come on, folks, just come and shoot!! ”

As soon as these words came out, there were bursts of shouts of "good", and the banquet suddenly became lively.

The old and young masters stepped forward one after another, and consciously lined up in front of the stone beam.

Su Wangting also mixed in the middle of the team with a grin.

"I'll take the jackpot!!"

I saw the man at the head of the line roll up his sleeves, clapped his hands, and took a deep breath.

Although the appearance is full and the hands are raised, the force of the final shoot does not even sound a "pop".

Seeing this, Su Wangting understood, although it is impossible for ordinary people to break this beam, if he really tried his best to shoot this stone beam, not to mention whether his hand hurt or not, it was probably a provocation to the master's family.

It seems that the trick is that the thunder is loud and the rain is small.

looks like a foot, showing that he has done his best.

And the small use of strength represents respect for the master's family.

To put it bluntly, it's a joke.

It's a custom, but it's more like a show at a wedding.

Sure enough, the tax officer was very satisfied with the performance of the first man, laughed and thanked him, and stuffed a red envelope with the other party.

The man congratulated loudly, and Meizizi accepted the red envelope.

The second man, however, went even further than that, and his performance was even more pompous.

I saw that it was a horse step again, and it was a few specious luck moves, and after taking three deep breaths in front of the stone beam, he jumped up violently, as if he really wanted to split the stone beam with his bare hands.

But after this guy landed on the ground, he only tapped the stone beam with two fingers, and even made a playful "eh" in his mouth, and then smiled and congratulated the tax officer.

"Nice, nice!!"

The tax collector seemed pleased with the man's performance, laughed and patted his belly and gave him two red envelopes.

Since then, it has been out of control.

It was an exaggeration of a performance, and the audience laughed constantly, just to please the host's family, so they asked for two red envelopes.

But when it was Su Wangting's turn, the atmosphere suddenly cooled down.

Because he just stood silently in front of the stone beam and did not show anything, no matter how the people behind him urged, they were indifferent.

Seeing this, the tax officer's face was obviously not happy, and after looking him up and down, he frowned and said, "You... Not from this village? ”

Su Wangting shook his head: "No." It's just a passing foreigner, and when he sees a happy event, he brazenly comes to ask for a cup of happy wine to drink. ”

The tax collector laughed dryly twice and said, "Since you are here to congratulate, it is naturally welcome." It's just that why did you stand in front of the marriage beam for a long time and didn't shoot for a long time? ”

Su Wangting scratched his head: "If one accidentally breaks it, how can it be good." ”

As soon as these words came out, the audience immediately fell silent.

But soon a burst of laughter burst out from the table.

The tax collector also patted his belly and laughed, he seemed to be very satisfied with the performance of this guy, and he was able to push the atmosphere to a climax.

Su Wangting smiled bitterly: "I'm serious. ”

"Hahaha......"

The audience burst into laughter.

The tax official patted his chest and laughed: "Okay, okay, don't laugh anymore, hurry up and pat the beam to eat the wedding wine, and the official will reward you with five red envelopes!" ”

"Oh."

Su Wangting stretched out his hand and pressed it on the stone beam.

But this press has not moved for a long time.

"You're shooting?" The tax collector urged.

Su Wangting withdrew his hand and said with a grin: "The shooting is over." ”

“……”

The audience fell silent again.

Anger climbed into the tax officer's face again.

Is this guy really here to make trouble?

"Click... Click......"

Just as he was about to scold, the tax collector suddenly heard a slight cracking sound suddenly coming from the stone beam.

Then he gasped and bent down to look.

But before the waist was bent, only a "bang" was heard, and the heavy stone beam was broken into two pieces, and the self-congratulating bar fell to the ground.

Quiet......

The villagers in the whole village were dumbfounded.

Su Wangting grinned and pointed to the ground: "Ah, it's really broken?" ”

"This ......"

The tax collector stared at the broken stone beam with a grim face, at a loss.

You must know that according to custom, if the stone beam is really broken, then his son's marriage must be stopped immediately!

"It's... This and this ......"

The tax officer pointed to the broken beam, glared at the old man beside him and cast a plea for help.

As the so-called ginger is still old and spicy, the old man quickly put away the surprise on his face, laughed a few times, twisted his white beard and said: "Presumably, this stone beam has been placed on the open ground behind the ancestral hall for many years, and it has become crunchy after hundreds of years of wind and rain, and it has broken by itself, which can never represent the meaning of God." ”

Saying that, the old man waved his hand to several strong men: "Go!" Hurriedly invited the new marriage beam made last year, and the beam shooting ceremony continued! ”

The tax collector laughed and said, "Yes, yes, yes!" The fracture of this weathered stone beam does not mean that God wills, and you still have to invite a new marriage beam to count! ”

"Oh, the villain deserves to die, and it has caused trouble for the adult's wedding feast." Su Wangting pretended to be panicked and made a fuss.

The tax collector waved his hand: "It's none of your business." As the so-called good things are grinding, it seems that the marriage of the dog is particularly valued by God, and when the new stone beam is invited, you will shoot it again, and the official will be rewarded! ”

After finishing speaking, I only heard the sound of humming and humming.

Eight strong men carried a stone beam over again.

I saw that this square stone beam was actually a circle larger than the previous one, and it was even thicker, and I was afraid that it was only two thousand catties.

"Good!! Such a big marriage Liang is worthy of the happy event of the tax officer's family!! ”

"Yes, yes, yes, people are divided into three, six, nine and so on, how can the marriage beam used for the happy event in the tax official's family be the same as ours."

"Magnificent!! What a magnificent marriage beam!! It's a really good family affair!! ”

“……”

During the banquet, the shouts of whiskers and horses continued, which was to coax this fat tax to coax the spring breeze on his face, and his face was red again, and he thanked everyone again and again.

The new stone beam was put down, and the tax official made a "please" gesture to Su Wangting: "Please re-shoot this little brother, let us continue the filming ceremony... Ahh ”

Su Wangting slowly raised his hand and said with a smile: "Presumably, this time it can be counted." ”

"Of course!! Please!! ”

"Oh."

Su Wangting's hand slowly rested on the stone beam again.

"Alright, it's over." Su Wangting clapped his hands.

The tax officer's eyes were about to pop out, and he shouted, "Bastard! Where did you shoot, it's not the same as just now, just put your hand on it!! I shoot hard!! Don't you look down on me?? ”

As he spoke, the tax collector rolled up his sleeves and scolded: "Where did the little rabbit cub come from, he actually looks down on this master!" If you don't pat your hand swollen today, Lao Tzu will kill you!! ”

As soon as the words fell, several strong men quickly surrounded and glared at Su Wangting.

"Click... Click......"

A subtle cracking sound sounded again.

"Bang!!"

The stout stone beam collapsed again, breaking in two and falling to the ground.

"Huh??"

The audience shouted in unison.

The tax officer stared at the broken beam with a pale face, and staggered back two steps: "This... What the hell is this? ”

Su Wangting shrugged his shoulders innocently: "Huh? Why is it broken again? Tax officer, does this mean that God does not agree to this marriage? ”

"Fuck you!!"

Su Wangting pointed to the broken beam and smiled: "But the marriage beam has been broken twice, according to custom, the marriage has to be canceled?" ”

"You!!"

The tax official gritted his teeth and pointed at Su Wangting, and looked at the old man who presided over again.

The old man was quite steady, coughed twice again, and waved his hand: "It's just the so-called three!" After three to make a number!! ”

"But... But there don't seem to be any stone beams in our village! The tax collector said anxiously.

"It doesn't matter." The old man pointed to the broken beam on the ground, "As long as you are sincere, even if you use half a beam!" Come on, re-erect this half of the stone beam, and if it breaks again, it will be counted! ”

When the tax official heard this, he cast an admiring look at the old man, and beckoned again and again: "Yes!! As long as you want to be sincere, the same is true for the half-cut beam! Come on, quickly erect the broken beam, if it is broken again, my son's marriage will be over!! ”

Su Wangting said with a smile: "Master tax officer, why don't I stop filming and let the people behind come?" ”

"Fuck your shit!! If you kid don't pat your hands swollen today, you can't leave the stockade!! The tax official scolded again regardless of his image, and it seemed that he was going to fight Su Wangting to the death.

But he doesn't die, and he can't help it.

broke two stone beams in a row, if it weren't for the fact that the big guy was afraid of his identity as a tax collector, he was afraid that he would have been coaxed to cancel this marriage a long time ago.

Therefore, where the face is lost, it must be found there.

Otherwise, where would his majesty lie in the future?

After the broken beam was erected, the tax officer did not immediately let Su Wangting shoot it this time, but cautiously looked around the broken beam.

Well.

Half-cut stone beams are shorter.

Shorter means stronger, and it's less likely to crack in the middle for no apparent reason.

After looking back and forth twice, the tax officer nodded with satisfaction, pointed at Su Wangting and said angrily: "Give Lao Tzu a hard shot!" Hard, do you hear me? ”

"Oh."

Su Wangting stepped forward expressionlessly and stood in front of the stone beam again.

Slowly raising his hand, Su Wangting smiled evilly: "Then, I took it?" ”

"What the hell are you talking about!! Clap!! ”

"Oh."

The white palm was no longer just pressed on the top this time, but really slapped down.

"Smack!"

It's not loud.

But Su Wangting's seemingly lazy shot, in the eyes of everyone, didn't look like he had exhausted his strength.

And just perfunctory.

But this time, there was no "click" sound, and the half of the stone beam fell directly to the ground.

Broken in two again!

"Ahh Su Wangting jumped to his feet again and again, "I'm scared to death, why is it broken again!" ”

"Huh!?"

The tax collector's feet went limp, and he almost fell.

"It's... This, this, this...... What the hell is this!? ”

Then he once again cast a pleading gaze to the old man in charge.

The old man was dripping with cold sweat, scratched his head for a long time, and then said quietly: "Big... My lord, why don't you do this family affair? This... It's been broken three times, and it seems that God is against this marriage. ”

"Fuck your !!" The tax official was furious, pointing at the old man and the villagers at the banquet and scolding, "I don't care who is playing tricks on Lao Tzu today, my son's family affair must be carried on!" If someone dares to speak out against it, don't blame Lao Tzu for letting you stay in this village!! ”

The audience was silent.

All the villagers lowered their heads one after another, where did they dare to go against this tyrant in the village.

The tax collector of the royal palace, although the rank is not high, is an important position.

Local officials and big families were afraid.

This concealment and omission of tax revenue is very sensitive to the royal government. Therefore, if this tax collector wants to rectify them, it is easy to do so.

To put it bluntly, even if this tax official acts arbitrarily, who would dare to provoke him locally?

Report to the officer?

Joke.

The local government is afraid that the tax collector's sycophant will not be enough, and ordinary people dare to report to the official, but they are afraid that they will dig their own graves.

At this time, the host old man hesitated for a long time, and sneered: "Both... Since the adults have opened their mouths, then let's skip the ceremony of marriage beam and carry out the marriage. Hehe, the happy event of the adult's family, naturally no one dares to object, how can there be such a bold person. ”

The tax official took a sip of the stone beam on the ground, shook his sleeves and said, "Give Lao Tzu some acquaintances!" Today is my happy event, and they all give me joy, with a black face!? ”

"They have black faces because you don't follow the teachings and customs of your ancestors."

A faint voice came.

The tax collector turned his head to look, and saw that the mourning star, who had broken three stone beams in a row, was staring at him coldly.

"I see that you kid is getting impatient. If it weren't for my son's happy event today, I would have beaten you to death with a stick. Get out of here, you frustrated thing. ”

The corners of Su Wangting's mouth raised, and he raised his hand to stop the old man who was about to open his mouth to announce the next wedding session.

The tax officer raised his eyebrows: "What do you mean?" Do you have to die? ”

"Nope."

Su Wangting shook his head slowly.

"Since it is a custom that has been practiced for thousands of years, it must not be changed."

The tax collector sneered and asked, "What do you mean?" ”

Su Wangting smiled: "According to my meaning, your stupid son didn't have the blessing of marrying this girl." ”

The tax official was stunned when he heard this, his forehead was bruised, and he stomped his feet at the ordinary strong man and roared: "Beat this person to death for me!" Really killed!! ”
