Volume 8: The Mystery of the Ancient Tomb is chaotic with life and death, and the people of today are clever and enmity Volume 8 Chapter 75: Mid-Autumn Festival (II)
Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, the family is reunited, only Xiang Yufeng is alone, and he ran to Meila's mother-in-law's house angrily.
"You gave her something?" Xiang Yufeng asked hurriedly. After getting an affirmative reply from Granny Meila, Xiang Yufeng was like a deflated ball:
"Alas...... Why don't you stop her? Granny Meila asked rhetorically:
"You don't like that young man?"
"The old man wants to chop him now!"
"But I've heard that you've taught him all about Instant Shadow Xingyu."
"This!" Xiang Yufeng froze, and then retorted:
"He is not bad, martial arts, strategy, knowledge, and talent are very good, I am happy to see the hunt for a while, and it is nothing to teach him some kung fu...... However, but it's ......" Seeing Xiang Yufeng's incoherent speech, Granny Meila took it for him:
"But if you want him to be your son-in-law, you can't do it, how old is Lingling?"
"Shine! That's what it means. Xiang Yufeng nodded repeatedly. Seeing that Xiang Yufeng had lost his square inch, Granny Meila couldn't help but smile dumbly:
"I said the same thing that day, and then I suddenly remembered that Yiling was seventeen years old." Parents who accompany their children at all times always have the illusion that their children will never grow up, until one day, the child brings another young person to them, and the parents suddenly realize - it turns out that they are so old?
"Seventeen, huh?" Xiang Yufeng muttered, and then said hatefully:
"Damn, girls are outgoing, my family's good cabbage......" ............ After the efforts of Doctor Si Shen and Wang Jinwei day and night, all the white blue and white fungus was finally removed.
Xiang Yiling ordered the opening of the tomb of King Miao. It took everyone a whole day to clean up the tomb of King Miao.
From today onwards, it has once again become the palace of King Miao, the center of the entire Miao Jiang. The long table is put together in one place, dozens of zhang long, the host is on the left, the guest is on the right, the host and guest are opposite, toasting and singing the wine.
This is the highest form of solemn etiquette in Miaojiang. Before the banquet began, Jiang Xiaoshu, who was in the first place, had already been persuaded to drink more than ten glasses of wine, and there was an endless stream of people who came to toast, and this enthusiasm almost made Jiang Xiaoshu unable to resist.
Fortunately, it is a grain wine, not biang wine, otherwise I haven't eaten it yet, I'm just afraid that I'll get drunk.
When Jiang Xiaoshu was still thinking about how to refuse everyone, Elder Bai had already relieved him:
"I see you, you don't treat Jiang Gongzi as a distinguished guest, do you?"
"Huh?"
"How so?"
"Elder Bai, what are you talking about? Jiang Gongzi is our most honored guest......"
"Yes, yes." When everyone heard this, they retorted one after another - treating guests with the best wine is Miao Jiang's way of showing respect.
Elder Bai pointed to the first vacancy:
"Then what are you anxious about? When the mountains and rivers arrive, are you still afraid that Jiang Gongzi will not be able to drink enough? "This
"Mountains and flowing water", is also the etiquette of Miao Jiang to entertain guests, when inviting mountains and flowing water, a person holds a bowl in his hand, and the other hand holds a wine jug to pour wine, feeding the guests to drink, and several other people hold a wine jug, end to end in connection with the hands of the wine feeder and pour wine continuously, often the height difference of the wine jug is four or five feet high.
Once this mountain water is invited, it must be drunk all the time, at least one catty, and there is no upper limit.
Elder Bai said this, which means that everyone is now filling Jiang Xiaoshu's stomach, and when the mountains and rivers are flowing later, Jiang Xiaoshu won't be able to drink much.
Only then did everyone wake up, and they all praised Elder Bai for his foresight, and then dispersed. Jiang Xiaoshu naturally agreed, and smiled bitterly at Elder Bai:
"I thought you were breaking the siege, who knew that looking at this posture, if you don't drink me to death, it's not over, right?"
"As long as you don't drink to death, drink to death!" Elder Bai was arrogant. Jiang Xiaoshu wiped his lips, but he was looking forward to it, but then he remembered something and warned Elder Bai:
"Huh! It's okay to drink, but there's nothing to talk about about treasure, so don't lie to me while I'm drunk. "In a room deep in the tomb of King Miao, there are all kinds of gold and silver jewelry, silk and satin, and antique calligraphy and paintings collected by Chiming, each of which is very valuable, and was found when cleaning the tomb of King Miao, but there was a dispute over the ownership.
The people of Miao Jiang insisted on giving Jiang Xiaoshu and his party, saying that they should be entangled on the road.
"This is good, this is good!" Sheng Yu Ember wanted to say this, but Liu Lingwei had already expected it, and pinched him the back before swallowing the words back.
Jiang Xiaoshu resolutely refused to accept it, and the two sides argued, if it wasn't for the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet to start immediately, I was afraid that the quarrel would be endless.
Hearing Jiang Xiaoshu say this, Elder Bai was not happy:
"No, you have to keep it and drag it with a cart!"
"Hey! Why are you so strong? β
"The Miaojiang tribes of our Miao Xinjiang have been unified again, and the information that they have successfully reconciled diplomatic relations with Great Qin and the enemies of the Three Puritans...... I, Miao Jiang, have already received these three precious gifts, and those worthless treasures should be taken by you. β
"Don't listen, don't listen, Wang Ba recites the scriptures ......" Speaking of which, although Liu Lingwei often causes trouble, her ability to play tricks is very useful-no, Jiang Xiaoshu covered his ears and snorted, but taught Elder Bai to make trouble.
Until a long voice came:
"Please mountains and riversβ" Everyone's eyes immediately turned to the door.
"Woo-" The cheerful and enthusiastic reeds sounded, the majestic singing of the men and the coquettish laughter of the girls sounded at the same time, and the team of mountains and rivers had arrived.
Jiang Xiaoshu was a little stunned. It's beautiful. Liu Lingwei on the side, as a woman, sighed with envy in her eyes:
"Sister Xiang is so beautiful, like a bride." The first place in the team is naturally Xiang Yiling, she is already very beautiful, at this time, she is even more delicate, her big eyes are full of smiles, but it is a little brighter than the bright moon tonight.
The most brilliant thing is her clothing - the green pleated skirt, densely layered with beautiful totems, the sparkling skirt legs, and the fluttering skirt belts, which make the girl's slender figure more and more perfect...... She has a silver flower on her head, a bracelet on her hand, a necklace around her neck, and she is dressed up to attend, gorgeous and solemn.
So when Jiang Xiaoshu came back to his senses, a wine bowl was already in his mouth. The rule of the mountains and rivers is to catch the wine with your mouth, never touch it, and when you can't hold it, just knock on the table and it will stop.
"Brother Jiang, do what you can." In the noise formed by the reeds and singing, a low laugh came from Jiang Xiaoshu's ears.
Jiang Xiaoshu thought that it was quite massive, but he still underestimated it
The power of "high mountains and flowing water", the bowl on the side of the mouth looks like it can only hold three or five taels, but the kung fu of pouring a cup of tea is still three or five taels, and the most important thing is that the wine is endless, and there is no respite for a moment, and it has been poured endlessly.
Jiang Xiaoshu knew for the first time that he could get drunk so quickly. With the last drop of wine in his stomach, Jiang Xiaoshu couldn't even sit steadily, and his body fell down as soon as he crooked.
In the haze, a pair of softness supported herself.
"Huh-" Liu Lingwei was afraid that the world would not be chaotic.
"Jiang Gongzi is massive!" Elder Bai applauded.
"Don't talk nonsense, it's time for the banquet now, Lao Bai, come and fight with me for three hundred rounds......" Zhou Lijin began to invite the battle.
"It's a feast!" Everyone cheered in unison.
"Happy Mid-Autumn Festival." Everyone congratulated each other. These voices were obviously loud and tight, but they sounded very unreal and indistinct as if they were far away in the sky.
"Brother Jiang, I'll help you go to rest." Only this voice is close to the ear, gentle and beautiful. The voice came from the master of Rouyi.
β¦β¦β¦β¦ After eating and drinking, everyone came out of the palace of King Miao and gathered in the central square, and the big moon hung in the sky, like a jade plate.
People sang in unison, praising the beauty of the moment: the most beautiful village bathed in the moonlight, the song under the moon, the laughter was loud, the girl who lowered her head and pursed her lips and smiled, knitted a wreath for her to wear on her head, drank the wine in the cup, warmed her heart, sang slowly, the drum sounded, the dancing girl's teeth were white like moonlight, the roast meat was fragrant, the evening breeze was refreshing, and before you knew it, people sang until dawn...... Young men and women gathered together, dressed in costumes, and danced to the sound of cheerful songs.
Sheng Liu and the others looked at the scene in front of them, like falling clouds.
"Hey, Broken Mouth, they're ......"
"Dancing."
"Tsk, if you want you to say, don't I know? I mean, why are they dancing? β
"Happy."
"Are you happy?"
"It's fine."
"Then let's go too."
"Hmmm! Eh...... Don't pull it, don't pull it, the clothes are bad! Needless to say, Sheng Yuyan was dragged to the center of the square by Liu Lingwei.
But when the people arrived, the two were dumbfounded.
"Uh...... Can you jump? β
"It's going to be a hammer."
"I won't ...... either"
"Then forget it."
"Don't worry," Liu Lingwei grabbed Sheng Yu Ash, and then patted a woman next to her:
"This sister, how are you going to dance? What do I think you all dance differently? β
"How can you pay attention to this, how to be happy and how to dance." With that, the woman turned her head and smiled affectionately at the young man beside her.
All the young men and women in the square danced briskly at this moment. As the woman said, this dance is not exquisite, so everyone dances differently.
But what is the same is that every time they dance, they are poured into the enthusiasm and strong feelings of youth. Sheng Liu and the others were also quickly infected by this atmosphere and danced.
Liu Lingwei seems to be a natural dancer, every gesture, every head held high, every spin and jump, full of charming style.
"You look like our Zhuxian Village ......" Sheng Yuyan was stopped by Liu Lingwei's threatening gaze halfway through his words, but he continued:
"Like a carp in a fishpond, a swallow flying everywhere, a dragonfly dotting the water......"
"Yo! Yes, I can use metaphors. β
"Metaphor? Isn't it fierce? β
"Hmm...... So-so. Compared with Liu Lingwei, Sheng Yu Ember is much more clumsy, Liu Lingwei's movements are obviously not fast, but he paints the scoop according to the gourd, which is indescribably clumsy and sluggish, and he is so anxious that he is sweating profusely.
"Turn!" Sheng Yu stumbled on the soles of his feet and fell on all fours, which made Liu Lingwei laugh.
"I'm sorry." Sheng Yushen got up and apologized to the person he hit, only to find out that it was Ah Kang. Akon was pleasantly surprised:
"Sheng Gongzi, you are here too?"
"It's hard for you to dance......"
"Ha, it's hard to dance like this once in a lifetime, it's harder."
"Once in a lifetime?"
"Yes, we Miaojiang people can only marry one wife, and of course we only jump to the moon once."
"Ann!?"
"The Mid-Autumn Festival moon dance is not only to pray for blessings, but also to find your sweetheart and pour out your love when dancing...... Okay, let's not talk about it for now, and then Xiao Nian is going to be angry, hahaha. Sheng Liu and the others escaped in disgrace.
"It's all your fault!"
"Gegou Zhile, you're going to jump, and I can't ask for it."
"Why, you're not convinced!"
"Take a hammer ......" The two made a noisy all the way back to their residence, and when they arrived downstairs, they saw that it was pitch black, and Liu Lingwei suddenly remembered something:
"Huh? Did you notice? Sister Xiang and Jiang Xiaoshu haven't been seen for a long time. β
"What do you care about?"
"Alas...... It's blind if you say it, you stupid man. β
"I'm not stupid."
"Go!"
