Chapter 408: Receiving the Bride

On the white paper, two parallel straight lines are drawn horizontally and vertically, which looks like the character "well".

"This was improvised and I call it 'Nine Palaces Pass Three Levels'. Ding Kui stubbornly said that if he didn't say what he thought, then he might not be able to pass the current test of wisdom.

The middle-aged Confucian asked the children to gather around and asked Ding Kui, "How do you use it for games?"

"The game is very simple, these four lines divide the white paper into nine spaces, called the 'nine houses', two people play against each other, take turns to occupy one of the houses, and whoever occupies the three houses in a straight line horizontally, vertically, and diagonally first wins. Ding Kui gestured on the white paper.

"Oh, it does look quite simple, why don't you try it with your uncle?" The middle-aged Confucian was very interested, spread the white paper on the table, and asked the servant to take a few more pens.

"Okay, let's show them how. Ding Kui picked up the pen and drew a circle on the space in the middle.

The middle-aged Confucian thought for a while, picked up the pen and drew a bird's wing on a corner.

You make a stroke, I make a stroke, the middle-aged Confucian was quickly defeated, how could someone who had just come into contact with this game be Ding Kui's opponent.

After playing three games in a row, Ding Kui won two and drew one.

"Let them play. The middle-aged Confucian put the pen back on the table, "I admire, this game looks very simple, but you must use your brain to play, and you may lose if you are not careful." The first person can take five steps, and the last person can take four steps, and if you think about it beforehand, the game will end up being a no-lose-win situation.

In the following evaluation, this game is simple and easy to understand, easy to implement, has a certain effect of exercising thinking, has confrontation but is interesting, easy to make and time-consuming, and almost anyone can play this game in any environment. Congratulations, uncle, you have passed this test of wisdom. ”

The people next to him were very interested, and some even used chopsticks to dip some tea on the table to draw the nine palaces and play directly.

"This can be figured out, the Ding family is indeed a monster. This time, Long Kun admired Ding Kui from the bottom of his heart.

It is not surprising that a literati or magician can create such a game, and it is impossible to find a few knights in the history of the kingdom who came up with such things that have nothing to do with cultivation.

"Well, this is worthy of my daughter and qualified to be your son-in-law. Long Yan's biological father smiled at Long Yan's godfather.

Yugui ran back to the inner courtyard in a frenzy, dancing and describing to Long Yan what happened in the middle hall. Long Yan listened to it with interest, and asked Yugui to take out a pen and paper and play "Nine Palaces Pass Three Levels" in the boudoir.

Under Lu Ying's reminder, Ding Kui dramatically changed the appearance of "Tic-tac-toe Pass Three Levels" to "Nine Palaces Pass Three Levels", and passed the wisdom test of the Long family and successfully crossed the third hurdle.

When he was about to walk to the middle of the hall, a large number of children of the Long family surrounded him and asked him for money. Ao Yu, Jiang Cao brothers and sisters, Zeng Jian, Zheng Yun and others were not to be outdone, and blocked Ding Kui's side to escort him.

A group of eleven or twelve-year-old boys and girls shouted that if the new aunt didn't compete with them, they would give each of them a hundred gold coins, and they would say more good things to the aunt or aunt. This is to make it clear that Ding Kui, are you embarrassed to do it with the juniors? If you don't do it, you will give money.

Jiang Cao and Jiang Yu took action to drive these teenagers away.

Long Tan shouted: "Jiang Cao, why are you embarrassed to do it to my junior?"

"Haha, don't forget that Ding Kui is my cousin, and now that I marry your sister, Xiaoyu and I will also become your juniors, so it's just right to play with them. Jiang Cao said with a smile.

Ding Kui was not a stingy person, but anyone who could squeeze around him was given ten gold coins.

"Ding Kui, if you have the ability, don't ask others for help, if you can take my ten moves, I'll let you go. A cold voice came, and following the prestige, Long Shuang stood behind the crowd, faintly blocking between Ding Kui and Taishi's chair. His feet had returned to normal, but he was extremely afraid of the servant and didn't dare to squeeze to Ding Kui's side.

"Tell them to get out of the way, and I'll take you ten strokes. Ding Kui was sure that Long Shuang had not reached the realm of a fearless knight, and he was not afraid to fight him at all.

"Okay, you all get out of the way. The power of the children of the Long Shuangyan family was fully displayed, and the children of the Long family, who did not get the color head, obediently retreated.

Ding Kui stretched out his right hand to Long Shuang, and hooked his four fingers into his palm a few times, "Come on." ”

The dragon rushed forward with two arrows, and a dark red fist smashed towards Ding Kui's chest.

When the fist was half a meter away from Ding Kui's chest, Ding Kui pressed down with his left palm and turned up with his right fist.

Bang, two dark red fists collided in the air, and the two of them shook their upper bodies, each taking half a step back.

The people in the middle hall were in an uproar.

This is the first time that Ding Kui has shown his strength in the Long family, and it can also be said to be the first time he has publicly revealed his strength in the Shaodian Kingdom. This Protector Hou Shizi, who was still about ten days away from coming of age, was already a late-stage shield breaker knight, not much worse than Long Shuang, who fought against him and was two years older than him.

Judging from this fight, Ding Kui faintly gained the upper hand, you must know that Long Shuang had the tendency to rush forward, Ding Kui just punched on the spot, and the result was that the two of them each took half a step back.

Long Shuang looked at Ding Kui with suspicious eyes, and had no intention of continuing to shoot. Frozen for a moment, "Hey!" Long Shuang sighed, turned and burrowed into the crowd without looking back. He asked Ding Kui to take ten moves, but people were obviously not under him, there was no problem with how many moves he received, and it was no different from stalking to fight again, he simply chose to give up.

Ding Kui smiled slightly and continued to walk forward, and finally came to the three Taishi chairs, knelt down respectfully, and kowtowed to the three dragon family elders. Long Kun in the middle is Long Yan's godfather, the Long family in the first place on the left is always Long Yan's grandfather, and the first person on the right is Long Yan's father Long Kai.

"Hehe, okay, the good grandson of Ding Dao's predecessors, the good son of Ding Qi, you will be my good son-in-law soon. So far, Long Kun is very satisfied with Ding Kui's performance.

The elder of the Long family and Long Kai both smiled and said nothing, in terms of status, Long Kun was the highest, and his words could represent the Long family.

"Son-in-law, please welcome Long Yan home. Ding Kui meticulously performed the wedding ceremony.

"Good. The three elders in the audience had no objection.

Immediately, a maid came to the welcoming team, took Ding Fen to the side room to change clothes, and prepared to go to the backyard to welcome the bride.

The party must send a virgin to guide the bride, who is called the flower girl, and Ding Fen plays the role of the flower girl. The flower girl and the bride's maid escort the bride to the sedan chair or float, and the bridegroom's unemployed maid can accompany the bridegroom to the groom's home.

"Son-in-law, please. Long Kun stood up and announced loudly, "Let's take a seat." ”

As soon as Ding Kui got up, Long Kai stretched out his palm the size of a fan, grabbed his arm, and said, "Let's go, I'll take you to meet the head of the Long family." Like an eagle catching a chicken, he walked towards the chairman's table with Ding Kui.

Generally, only the eldest family will set up a banquet to entertain relatives and friends on the day of the daughter's wedding, and the groom needs to thank the guests who come to the banquet as half of the host. Naturally, the cost does not need to be paid by the groom, and being poured wine is an indispensable link, and only the prime minister can help.

The Long family, one of the top ten families in China, is indispensable for relatives and friends, and just the name makes Ding Kui dizzy, let alone their names. This is the last hurdle of his journey to welcome his relatives, and it is only by accurately remembering the life and title of each relative and friend that he is a qualified son-in-law.

As for the problem of being drunk, he handed it over to Ao Yu, and 100,000 gold coins were not so easy to earn.

Ao Yu, who shined in the test of strength, once again conquered everyone with his strength. As long as someone looks for Ding Kui or asks him for a toast, all of them will not refuse, and he will follow alone. After drinking for two hours, he was not drunk at all, but some people with ulterior motives were all drunk by him, including Long Shuang.

In the middle of the banquet, Ding Fen and Yugui helped the bride with a red cloth to the middle hall to make an appearance, and then they were surrounded by the girls in the welcoming procession and escorted to the carriage outside the gate.

Before the banquet, someone sent food to the three people guarding the side of the carriage, the bride had eaten and drunk enough before she came out, and after the bride came out, Ding Xiao and Biya immediately stepped forward to help Ding Fen and Yugui send Long Yan to the carriage.

Ding Zhong has been guarding the position of the carriage, watching around vigilantly, and doing his best to protect the safety of the carriage.

The powerful spiritual power once again helped Ding Kui tide over the difficulties, and the names of hundreds of relatives and friends related to Long Yan present were all remembered in his mind. When those people asked him to toast, none of them were wrong, and they were all pushed to Ao Yudai to drink.

Jiang Cao and Jiang Yu seemed to be in trouble with Long Yan's juniors, staring at them all the way to prevent the groom from making trouble, and making all the benefits of the younger and older generations.

Ding Kui thanked all the relatives and friends of the Long family, and after they returned the salute one by one, he went to say goodbye to Long Kun, officially completed the greeting at the woman's house, and embarked on the way home.

On the way back, not only the people of the Ding family, but also a group of young children of the Long family, led by Long Tan, had to send the bride to the groom's house on behalf of the woman, and at the same time monitor the bride and groom so that they could not have substantive contact.

"Huh, why didn't that Long Shuang come with him?, didn't my bride have the same treatment as the young lady of the Long family?" Ding Kui asked Long Tan specifically.

"Hehe, my sister is recognized as a goddaughter by the future head of the family, and she is a generation older than Long Shuang out of thin air, so if you have to call it officially, he has to call his sister "sister-in-law" and call you "little uncle". He is such an arrogant person, how can he call you "little uncle" in a low voice? It is too late to avoid you, and it is impossible for him to follow. Long Tan smiled proudly, because of Long Yan's relationship, he was Long Shuang's uncle, and Long Shuang was a little embarrassed when he saw him.

According to aristocratic conventions, although Long Kun accepted Long Yan as his goddaughter, Long Yan's immediate family had nothing to do with Long Kun.

"Hahaha, I'll see what he calls me when he meets me in the future. No wonder he had the idea of not letting me pass during the test of strength, because he didn't want me to ride on his head, and he grew up a generation in vain. Ding Kui immediately laughed gloatingly.
