Chapter 4 · A ragged colt may make a good horse
Seeing that the strong man was reluctant to say more, Li Chao felt bored, and stuffed it into the pocket on his chest while eating dried fruits.
There are delicious food and drinks, and Li Ban has never forgotten his master. At the moment, you can't eat such a delicacy on weekdays, so naturally you have to eat more and bring more, so that Master and others can also try it.
In the courtyard, the guests were seated nearly full, and the Xi Po looked at the time, and then shouted loudly: "The bride and groom are crowned, and the firecrackers are ......."
As Xi Po's voice fell, firecrackers rang out, everyone got up one after another, and Li Chao couldn't sit alone and stand up.
The customs of Da'an are simple, and the happy hall is also simple, with a salute and two auditoriums, these three sounds are naturally sent into the cave room.
I don't know why, when the firecrackers rang off, the Zhao and Zhang families never had the intention of worshipping, and lay down a pair of newcomers, so they had to stay in place with a slightly dazed pestle.
After a while, Zhao Kun looked around the hall and sent servants to distribute dried fruit cakes to everyone to ease the mood of the guests.
"Master, you see that the auspicious time has passed, you might as well let the groom and the bride visit the church to get married. Xi Po didn't know why, she looked at the sun outside, but saw that Zhao Kun never signaled to start worshipping, and couldn't help blurting out a question.
Zhao Kun sat on the seat in the main hall, raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and said in a deep voice: "Shut up, how can the distinguished guests of the Pear Flower Sword Sect visit the hall before they arrive!"
It's no wonder that this Xi Po is talkative, it's just that she doesn't know the origin of today's VIPs, so she hit the dust. Seeing that the old man of the Zhao family was angry, she hurriedly closed her mouth.
The old lady of the Zhao family on the side glanced at the guests who were talking about it, and then looked at the movement at the door with an anxious expression.
After another half an hour, no one came outside the courtyard gate.
Seeing this, Zhao Kun's face gradually darkened, and he was in a dilemma, he looked at the lobby of the courtyard full of friends, pondered for a moment, and ordered: "In this case, open the ......."
Before he finished speaking, he saw the steward guarding the door outside the gate, and suddenly raised his voice excitedly: "The disciples of the Pear Flower Sword Sect came to congratulate!"
As the steward's voice resounded through the courtyard, Zhao Kun's calm face suddenly became rosy, and he stood up excitedly and walked all the way through the courtyard to the mansion gate.
When the guests in the room heard the four big characters of the Pear Flower Sword Sect, they were shocked, puzzled, and more curious.
Li Chao was unmoved, and ate delicious melons and fruits by himself.
At the door, with Zhao Kun's greeting, he saw a pair of young men and women floating into the courtyard from outside the door.
And his man's green shirt and brocade clothes, sword eyebrows and jade face, are very handsome. The women's red shirt and gauze skirt are lightly pulled in a dark cloud bun, which is delicate and moving. The two of them strode and swept the eyes of countless people to the other courtyard.
Li Ming's banquet table was only a few steps away from the lobby, and when this man and woman passed through the crowd and passed by him, he sighed again and again: "Tsk, the disciples of the Jianghu faction are really handsome, that girl Dao Ye likes it, it would be good if she was a daughter-in-law for Dao Ye." ”
The strong man beside him was taken aback, hurriedly covered his mouth, and said in a silent voice: "Xiaodao chief is cautious, beware of saying too much, you will lose, and you will be guilty of losing!"
Li Chao broke the strong man's hand and said viciously: "Why, the mouth is on the Dao Master, and you have to look at other people's faces when you say a few words!"
The sound was not loud, but in the silent courtyard, the sound was extremely piercing. At the same time, the pair of men and women who had stepped into the threshold of the lobby shook their feet and looked at the little Taoist priest in the crowd in unison.
The young man in brocade looked at the little Taoist, a trace of warm anger flashed on his indifferent face, and the woman on the side pulled his shirt, shook his head lightly and said, "Senior brother, the overall situation is important." Don't make a fight for this, and lose the face of the division and the dart game. ”
The young man's face changed and changed, and he immediately bowed slightly, turned around and walked into the lobby, the woman's beautiful eyes flashed slightly, and she glanced deeply at the little Taoist, and then left.
Li Chao and the woman in the red dress looked at each other, but she didn't regret her mistake, but waved her hand and smiled at her. This scene shocked the man next to him in a cold sweat, and he didn't dare to move for a long time, for fear that the senior disciples of the Pear Flower Sword Sect would involve themselves in anger.
"Mu Yusheng, a disciple of the Pear Flower Sword Sect, came to congratulate the son of the Zhao family on his marriage on the order of the deacon of the outer gate. ”
"Xu Shuang, a disciple of the Pear Flower Sword Sect, came to congratulate the son of the Zhao family on his marriage on the order of the deacon of the outer gate. ”
As the two reported to the door, the VIPs in the hall became noisy. The name of the Pear Flower Sword Sect, they have heard of it for a long time. Now that I can see the real face, I am naturally surprised.
Zhao Kun, who was standing under the lobby, was full of red light, his sleeves were raised, and he proudly complimented: "Thank you for rewarding me with a certain thin face of Zhao, and thank you two for being willing to come to this poor mountain to congratulate my Zhao family." ”
Proud is naturally a proud look for everyone in the hall, and this respect is for the hall to show the senior disciples of the Pear Flower Sword Sect.
"The head of the Zhao family is serious, you and I are already the same sect, why bother to see each other like this. Moreover, the elder has already instructed that when he came to Fenyang Town this time, he naturally wanted to give the head of the Zhao family a big congratulatory gift, and when this time is over, he can relieve your worries. The young man named Mu Yusheng spoke and behaved calmly, and his speech was full of elegance. At this moment, seeing that the head of the Zhao family bowed down to compliment, he replied neither humbly nor arrogantly.
Xu Shuang, who was following alongside, then hugged his fists and said: "This second congratulatory gift is naturally to help the Zhao family master pacify the three towns, so that you can sit back and relax." ”
These words were meant for the guests present, and the so-called listeners were intentional, and this was the naked threat from the big faction in the rivers and lakes.
As soon as these words came out, Zhao Kun's face was ruddy and proud, but the faces of some of the guests in his hall changed.
Looking at the faces of the guests around him, Li Chao was secretly speechless, and he had a deep understanding of the weight of the four big characters of the Pear Flower Sword Sect, and he was terrified.
After some compliments, the master of the Pear Flower Sword Sect sat down.
"Honored guests, the salute begins!"
At the same time, Xi Po was like beating the blood of a chicken, and a scream was really like a crowing old hen, which was deafening. The shout fell, and the worship service began.
"Worship heaven and earth!"
Outside the hall, the suona gongs played in unison, and the firecrackers resounded through the streets and alleys, and a family affair that shook Bailishan Town began.
"Second worship high hall!"
Xu is Xi Po roared too hard in the first two times, and the third one was obviously hoarse by three points, but in order to earn an extra reward, Xi Po, who was over fifty years old, blushed and had a thick neck, and it was enough to fight.
The groom and the bride worshipped the two high halls, and bowed to the high disciples of the Pear Flower Sword Sect at the suggestion of Zhao Kun. Although this move is not in accordance with the rules, no one dares to say more than half a word, and the name of the Jianghu faction can be seen.
"Husband and wife worship ......"
"Send to the cave!"
The screams that shed half her life were finally coming to an end, and Xi Po was on the verge of amnesty. And under Zhao Kun's satisfied nod, he exited the lobby and went to the back hall to receive the reward.
The bride was sent to the cave room by the maid, leaving only Zhao Ju, the son of the Zhao family, who was hungry and thirsty, to toast one by one in the courtyard.
The courtyard was full of people, and the guests enjoyed their wines.
Only Mu Yusheng of the Pear Flower Sword Sect sat alone at the table, drinking wine by himself, looking proud. Xu Shuang, a handsome woman sitting next to him, shook her head slightly, and had to remind in her ear: "Senior brother, don't forget the master's explanation when you leave." ”
"Can ants drink with me?" Mu Yusheng was drinking wine, and when he heard his junior sister's words, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. Xu is taking into account the master's entrustment, after a while, he blushed slightly, walked off the banquet table and followed Zhao Ju to toast, and then Xu Shuang also followed the table to toast.
This toast is self-evident, it is nothing more than ordinary people feel that the rivers and lakes are unattainable, and take this opportunity to give people an approachable, not arrogant and respectful reputation, and secondly, to give themselves a good reputation of being calm and elegant.
It's just that in addition to Xu Shuang and Zhao Ju's genuine smiles, this Mu Yusheng's strong smile is too obvious.
Soon Mu Yusheng and Xu Shuang came to Li Ming's banquet table, and at this time, Li Mingwu talked to the guests beside him, pretending to talk happily. As everyone knows, there are eight people at a table, and no one pays attention to him, even the strong man before is also looking away at the moment, and he looks like I don't know you.
Seeing such a scene, Li Chao felt bored, snorted coldly, and poured a sip of wine alone.
I have to say that this unknown liquor is really not as good as the autumn wind brewed by Aunt Xu......
This scene naturally fell into the eyes of Mu Yusheng and Xu Shuang, and the woman looked strange, almost laughing. And the latter was still cold-eyed, and he looked at the little Taoist priest with a wine glass for a long time, and said with a smile: "Thank you for coming to cheer, Mu is waiting for the head of the Zhao family to come to thank you." ”
After saying that, he took another step forward and said inexplicably: "Xiaodao is young, but the amount of alcohol is not small. I don't know what sect the head of the road came from, this peachwood sword on your body seems to be a child's toy, is it not a charlatan who came out to deceive. ”
Li Chao had already noticed the arrival of the two, and when he heard that Mu Yusheng's words were full of sarcasm, he stood up suddenly. He was just about to refute, but he was unexpectedly taken away by his voice again: "Hey, no, look at your outfit, I'm afraid you're a beggar." I really don't know how the butler of the Zhao family master opened the door and let your beggar dog get in. ”
If the former sentence is slightly sarcastic, the latter sentence is full of naked humiliation.
Li Ming's face was red from the successive words, and he was stunned, his big eyes rolled slightly, and he grinned: "Dao Ye's peachwood sword is very strange, specializing in treacherous and despicable real villains. As for why I came in, I don't know, maybe the butler saw my extraordinary face, so he had to pull me in. ”
Mu Yusheng also wanted to make fun of the little Taoist priest pretending to be a ghost, but when he suddenly heard a sentence about a real villain, his face turned gloomy.
Xu Shuang observed his words and looks, and naturally knew that the senior brother had moved the real fire, but the little Taoist priest had no choice but to shake his head secretly and did not step forward to stop him.
"It's really terrifying, it's terrifying!" Mu Yusheng laughed, patted the little Taoist priest on the shoulder, and left.
Li Chao rubbed the sore shoulder, scolded secretly, and took care of it again, but this look was very ugly, which made the guests next to him tasteless.
......
Mu Yusheng and Xu Shuang toasted and returned to the banquet again.
And his Mu Yusheng stood at the table and did not sit down. At this moment, he was heard to raise his voice around: "Everyone......"
The guests in the hall were stunned when they heard this.
"Today is the wedding day of Zhao Ju and Zhao Gongzi, since the head of the Zhao family is a member of my Pear Flower Sword Sect, then Zhao Ju Gongzi is also half of the people in the rivers and lakes, and there are no people in the rivers and lakes here, and I don't know that there is a rule in the rivers and lakes. ”
Mu Yusheng looked around, and the voice spread all over the world, and the eyes of all the guests followed.
Listening to his words, the guests in the hall looked at each other, not knowing what to do.
At this time, I heard him say: "When I get married, there must be a martial arts competition in the rivers and lakes, since Zhao Jugongzi is half a disciple of the rivers and lakes, then do you say that you should have a martial arts competition?"
This remark was to ask everyone in the hall, and the head of the Zhao family looked strange, I don't know why, but Zhao Ju heard that he was half a person in the rivers and lakes, and he couldn't help but feel proud, and nodded again and again.
"What Mu Gongzi said is very true, we are all rude in the mountains and fields, and we have never seen the rivers and lakes compete, so today I might as well let me wait to see and understand. ”
"Right...... Great goodness!"
Most of the guests in the hall were born in the countryside and were curious about the martial arts of the rivers and lakes. At this moment, someone proposed a martial arts competition, and everyone naturally coaxed.
Mu Yusheng retracted his gaze, nodded slightly, and said with a smile: "In this case, Mu Mou is ugly, but the competition is a matter of two people, and naturally there is an opponent." And my junior sister is not in good health today, how about you choose an opponent among you?"
As soon as these words came out, the VIPs in the hall looked at each other again and couldn't help but talk noisily.
Are there still disciples of the Jianghu sect among the people in the hall? Everyone present is an old acquaintance of the neighborhood who knows the roots, and in their opinion, there is no more. And Mu Yusheng's words were conclusive, saying that he wanted to choose a person from the people in the hall to compete, which was really confusing.
......
