Chapter 12 The handsome stick on the side of the Dongting shows its might, and Yuhua has a secret promise (1)
The boat was flowing down the lake, and Wan Jianfeng was lying on the boat and swimming. Suddenly, I heard a celebratory drum music from the shore, as if someone was marrying not far away. Along with the sound of the drums, there is a burst of wine, which is not mellow but very strong. Wan Jianfeng hurriedly leaned the boat against the shore, tiptoeing, and landed lightly on the shore.
He looked around curiously, and saw that the houses in the distance were next to each other, which seemed to be a fairly large village. Wan Jianfeng smiled happily when he saw this, and was about to go over to ask for a few bowls of wine to drink, but suddenly burped.
"I just finished drinking a jar of wine, I really can't drink it anymore, and if I drink it again, my mouth will become a funnel, and my stomach will become a wine vat!" He sighed a little helplessly, but then shook the wine gourd in his hand and laughed again, "Haha, although the wine jar is full, the wine gourd is empty, it's time to beg for wine!" ”
Wan Jianfeng strode towards the village, and bumped into a team of relatives head-on. I saw a young man in his twenties walking in front of the procession, wearing a red wedding robe and a red flower on his chest, obviously a groom official who was going to greet his relatives. But it was strange that he was walking instead of riding a horse, and he staggered a little when he walked, apparently lame. Behind him were a dozen drummers and two sedan chair drivers, carrying sedan chairs, playing joy, so lively.
Seeing this, he smiled and was about to step forward to say hello and beg for a drink by the way, when a group of people called Hanako suddenly appeared out of nowhere and blocked the way of the greeting procession. I saw them all holding bamboo boards in their hands, and singing while playing: "A dozen bamboo boards are happy, and relatives and friends listen to me." The owner is a scholar, and his popularity is good. Distant relatives and neighbors came, and children rejoiced and adults laughed. The fireworks were lit, and the door was so lively. The whole family is harmonious and happy, and the wealth is innumerable. On auspicious days, to good days, set up a colorful shed to welcome newcomers, welcome newcomers! At last the beggars bowed to the young man and shouted in unison, "Congratulations to the master!" ”
If it is a rich family, the groom is bound to wave his hand and reward countless red coins to get a lottery. But the young man touched his pocket, his face became very ugly, and he bowed his hand to the beggars again and again: "Everyone, I'm really sorry, it's not easy for us to do happy events in a small family, and we really don't have extra money to reward you!" ”
The beggars were not annoyed when they heard this, and continued to knock on the bamboo board and said: "The rich family has a lot of gold and silver, and the poor family has little spare money. The rich master gives gold ingots, and the rich master rewards the treasure. No matter how much it is a heart, it will be a blessing for the two families! ”
The young man looked back at the musician and the sedan chair man behind him, and asked embarrassedly: "Everyone, I don't have any money on me now, I don't know if I can borrow a few copper plates temporarily, and I have the right to ask for a lottery, and Xiaosheng will definitely make up for it in the future!" ”
Everyone touched their bodies when they heard this, and then they all shook and said helplessly: "Wang Xianggong, we don't have any spare money on us, let's leave if we can't do it, don't pay attention to these called flowers, it's important to marry." ”
The young man was about to leave helplessly, and the beggars knocked on the bamboo board again, "The Wang family will do a happy event and marry a Kefu mother." One year of mourning his mother, and two years of his father's death. At the beginning of the third year, the husband lived in the mourning hall. The mules and horses in the house died, and the snakes and rats ran rampant. Yesterday was peaceful, tomorrow it will be a grave! ”
Wan Jianfeng looked at the scene in front of him, and suddenly remembered himself two or three years ago, and couldn't help laughing. The young man was about to cry at this moment when the beggars said, "Everyone, please spare Xiaosheng!" If I keep talking, I really can't get married! ”
The beggars still did not give up: "The surname Wang, don't be ignorant, you come to our village to marry, you must abide by our rules." If you want to get married, you have to give a reward, otherwise we have to mess up this family business! ”
The young man pleaded again and again: "Everyone, as the saying goes, it is better to demolish ten temples than to break a marriage, please raise your noble hand and let Xiaosheng go!" If you continue to entangle, in case you miss the auspicious time, how can Xiaosheng explain to his father-in-law? ”
The beggars said disdainfully: "We have all the good things to say, but you don't appreciate anything." Whether it's demolishing the temple or breaking the marriage, as long as we can get money, what can't we do with Hanako? What won't be done? What don't you dare to do? Give money, hurry up and give money! ”
The young man suddenly looked at Wan Jianfeng at this time, and thought, "This is strange, other beggars have come to ask me for red money, why is this little flower son indifferent?" Could it be that he is the head of this group of beggars? ”
He thought about it and hurriedly bowed to Wan Jianfeng, and said sincerely: "This brother, Xiaosheng's name is Wang Shize, and he is a native of Guilin Yongfu. When my father was there, he set a family for me, a girl surnamed Li in the village. Later, when my father died, I kept filial piety for three years, so I delayed the matter. Recently, the filial piety period has expired, and I came to complete the marriage on the orders of my mother. Unexpectedly, the day before yesterday, I passed by Dongting and was robbed of money by the bandits, and it was not easy to save my life. The little money left on the body is used to buy wedding clothes, sedan chairs, and invite musicians, so there is nothing on the body, and I hope you will raise your noble hand and let Xiaosheng pass. After the little birthday, he will gain fame and fame, and he will never forget the great kindness of the father! ”
Wan Jianfeng was stunned when he heard this, pointed to his nose and said, "They care if you want money, it's my business?" Could it be that in the eyes of you readers, the Hanako are all in the same group? Or do you think that this young man is wise and martial, and he is born with the appearance of a leader? ”
Hearing this, all the beggars looked at Wan Jianfeng one after another, their faces full of hostility, for fear that someone would rob them of their business. But when they looked Wan Jianfeng from head to toe, they were all so frightened that they fell to their knees and kowtowed repeatedly.
Wan Jianfeng was so frightened that he took two steps back, and hurriedly waved his hand and said, "You...... What are you doing here? New Year's greetings? I understand your filial piety, but I don't have any New Year's money on me, and I can't reward you filial sons and grandchildren! ”
A thin old beggar pointed to the handsome stick on Wan Jianfeng's waist, and said respectfully: "This young man, although you look at the face, but since you are equipped with a handsome stick, it is like the leader of the gang in person, how dare we not bow to each other?" ”
Wan Jianfeng looked down at the handsome stick and said with a smile: "So that's the case, I thought you wanted to ask me for money, scared Ben Shaoxia to death!" As he spoke, he picked up the beggar who had just spoken, and asked, "How many copper plates have you asked for today?" ”
The thin beggar hurriedly said: "God open your eyes, today I asked for thirty copper plates, if this prince is willing to reward a little more, it will be enough for a few of us to have a full meal!" ”
Wan Jianfeng looked at the thin beggar, then at Wang Shize, and asked, "Brother Wang, I understand your difficulties, but it is not easy for us to ask Huazi to eat a full meal." It's better for you to go and pick up your relatives first, don't miss the good day. When you finish kissing, remember to borrow a few copper plates from your father-in-law and reward us brothers, what do you think? ”
Wang Shi nodded hurriedly, "Thank you for your help, if there is no you today, Xiaosheng's family business will only be blown up." Xiaosheng has nothing else on his body, but to give his father's relics to Shaoxia to show Xiaosheng's gratitude! As he spoke, he took out a jade pendant from his bosom that was not too good, and handed it to Wan Jianfeng with both hands.
Wan Jianfeng shook his head with a smile, "Brother Wang, this is your family heirloom, but it is useless to this young man. If you really give it to Ben Shaoxia, it's just a few jars of wine to drink and a few chickens to eat, so you should keep it yourself! ”
Wang Shi hesitantly took back the jade pendant and said gratefully: "The young man is really a warm-hearted person of the ancient way!" You are not willing to accept this jade pendant, Xiaosheng will temporarily give the stubborn stone to the grace of the father, and in the future the child is developed, the grace of the prince can hold this stone to find the child, the child will repay today's grace! As he spoke, he picked up a cyan pebble on the ground and handed it to Wan Jianfeng.
Wan Jianfeng took the stone, shook it in his hand, and said with a smile: "Brother Wang, I have always loved to make friends, if you are really developed in the future, I don't want anything else, but the wine must be prepared, I may drink it at any time!" ”
Wang Shi nodded and said, "It's good to say, Xiaosheng must have good wine, and he is waiting for Engong at any time!" As he spoke, he arched his hand towards Wan Jianfeng and walked forward with a group of people.
When the thin beggar saw that Wang Shize was gone, he sneered: "The old man who slammed the door found a son-in-law, it was really a jingle of slashing!" ”
Wan Jianfeng smiled: "This brother, why did you say this? ”
The thin beggar replied: "The old man is a charioteer, and some of his men are chariots and horses, not to mention borrowing the lame son-in-law for use, it is really an iron rooster that does not pull out a hair!" ”
Wan Jianfeng asked: "Brother, what you said is true, is his father-in-law really a car?" ”
The thin beggar nodded hurriedly, "Yes, it's the famous Li Gang style in the village, it is said that he drove Murong Yanyun when he was young!" ”
When Wan Jianfeng heard this, he hurriedly caught up with Wang Shize, and said with a smile: "Brother Wang, go slowly, I want to ask your father-in-law to borrow a car." The car doesn't have to be too good, just have horses, wheels and coachmen! ”
Early the next morning, Wan Jianfeng really got into the carriage, a carriage that was not luxurious but very clean. He still lay on the roof of the carriage as usual, drinking wine and enjoying the scenery along the way.
Suddenly, Wan Jianfeng's gaze was attracted by a white-clothed young man carrying a sword on the avenue in the distance. I saw that he was born cold and arrogant and elegant, his actions were as fast as the wind, and his clothes were fluttering like floating clouds, such a person, who else in the world would there be besides Yun Zixiao?
When the carriage passed by Yun Zixiao's side, Wan Jianfeng smiled and pointed at him, "Brother Yun, what is running blindly alone, don't say get a carriage to sit on, get in the car quickly, and don't charge you money!" ”
The young man in white slowly turned his head when he heard this, and said coldly: "Wan Jianfeng, since you and I are already tired of each other, why call me!" ”
Wan Jianfeng said with a smile: "Haha, if I hadn't arrived in time to stop you and let you go down this road, it wouldn't be Bianliang but Shiliang!" ”
Yun Zixiao's face changed slightly when he heard this, and then he got into the carriage, "Wan Jianfeng, you don't sit in a good carriage, why are you going to be so high?" ”
Wan Jianfeng pinched his fingers and said: "Ben Shaoxia pinched his fingers, I will definitely meet you on the way, so I will keep a good place for you in advance, why don't you thank Ben Shaoxia for his great kindness?" ”
Yun Zixiao snorted coldly and said coldly: "Ridiculous! ”
