Chapter 344: Marriage Change (2)

The people who came to congratulate were either officials of the dynasty or wealthy gentry, and the gifts they gave were even more rare in the world, such as white jade ruyi, coral trees, pure gold cornucopias, etc. The silver itself is inferior, but the less is three or five thousand taels of silver, and the more is tens of thousands of taels.

Yang Zixu took out five taels of silver, no wonder he was considered by the family to be an idle person who came to make trouble.

A majestic man scolded in his mouth, and hit Yang Zixu in the face, but when the fist was close, his eyes flickered, and he fell into a pile of butts. When I opened my eyes again, I was already sitting on the roof of the house a few feet away. The roof of this house is so high that I can't get down for a while.

The rest of the family members panicked for a while, and hurriedly returned to the courtyard to look for sticks and other things.

Steward Liu was taking care of the guests in the courtyard, and when he saw the family running in in a panic, he asked, "What's wrong?"

A family member replied: "Manager Liu, there is a kid at the door making trouble. Li Da wanted to coax the kid away, but he was still in the opposite room. ”

Steward Liu was stunned for a moment, rolled up his sleeves, and said, "Which kid who doesn't have long eyes has eaten the gall of a bear's heart and a leopard? Today you guys beat him up for me. ”

So, more than a dozen housekeepers rushed out of the gate with sticks in hand and followed Steward Liu.

When he arrived at the door, when Steward Liu saw Yang Zixu, he was about to question, but he felt that he looked familiar, and thought about it carefully, isn't this Yang Gongzi who came with Princess Nanping a few years ago?

Thinking of this, Steward Liu's knees weakened, and he knelt down: "The villain greets the immortal master, just now the person under his hand has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai, you have a lot of adults, don't be surprised." ”

The dozen or so housekeepers in the back were also stupid, and they wanted to call Steward Liu to come out and beat up this troublesome kid together, but they didn't expect that this Steward Liu would kneel down as soon as he came out. Come on, can you afford to provoke people who Manager Liu can't afford to provoke? Don't stand, kneel down together. So, more than a dozen family members threw down their sticks and knelt on the ground.

Yang Zixu played with the broken silver in his hand, and said in his heart: Power, it's really a good thing, no wonder the world is so addicted to this thing.

"Steward Liu, do you accept these ingots of silver or not? ”

"Accept it, the treasure of the immortal master, of course you have to accept it. ”

Yang Zixu threw the silver to him and said, "Go to the account." ”

Steward Liu caught the silver, his face couldn't help but be embarrassed, this account, to shout out the guest's name, the gift, in order to show the guest's generosity, to add glory to the guest's face, but how to put the five taels of silver on the account.

Steward Liu put away a few ingots of broken silver, turned his mind, and said loudly: "A first-grade Protector Immortal Master, Yang Immortal Master comes to give a gift, Nine Heavenly Xuanwu Emperor Immortal Silver Nine Ingots." ”

Yang Zixu smiled slightly, secretly admired Steward Liu's ability to do things, and then walked into the courtyard.

When they came to the courtyard, hundreds of officials and squires had gathered here, and everyone saw Yang Zixu, except for a dozen first, second and third grade officials, the rest knelt down and saluted, and Steward Liu also introduced these officials one by one.

After introducing a few people, Yang Zixu felt annoyed, shook his hand and said: "Today is the day of King Gao's great joy, don't delay the business, and get together with all your colleagues another day." ”

Everyone surrounded Yang Zixu, in addition to flattery, that is, to ask for the fairy grass elixir. Yang Zixu didn't get tired of it, but he could only deal with it.

At this moment, the sound of gongs and drums came from afar, and a family member at the door shouted: "The prince is back." ”

So everyone waited for the fish to come out and opened their eyes to see this pair of handsome men and beautiful women.

When they came to the door, the Praetorian Guards had already emptied the idlers in the alley, but there were still many people on the opposite courtyard wall and on the beams.

With the sound of festive drum music, I saw a tall king dressed in red, riding a tall horse into the alley, followed by a big red sedan chair with Fei Yaman.

When he came to the gate, King Gao turned over and dismounted. The sedan chair was also placed on the ground facing the gate, and the eight sedan chair drivers were put aside.

At this time, a maid came forward with a plate, and saw a small bow and three headless arrows inside.

It turns out that the custom of Han marriage is that when the bride's palanquin arrives at the door, the groom will shoot three arrows at the palanquin to drive away the demons and evil spirits that have been contaminated along the way. And this is usually a symbolic shot of three arrows, so the bow is like a child's toy, and the arrow is just a bamboo without an arrow.

King Gao looked at the bow and arrow, and did not take it, but whispered a few words to a family member, only to see that family member quickly ran into the courtyard.

While the crowd was wondering, the man had already run back, and he had a longbow and a quiver with three arrows in his hand.

I saw that King Gao grabbed the longbow, then pulled out a feather arrow, and then put on the longbow. The arrow shone in the sunlight, and it turned out to be a good armor-piercing arrow.

Gao Wang Man drew his longbow, like Hou Yi shooting the sun, and shot the first arrow towards the sedan chair three zhang away.

A sharp sound of breaking through the air came out, like a ghost crying wolf, and the arrow pierced through the sedan curtain and shot into the sedan car, leaving only an eye-sized hole in the sedan curtain.

Everyone was stunned, whether this was a bride or a murder.

The audience was silent, and even the musicians stopped their instruments.

Just when everyone thought that there was a scream and exclamation from the dumplings, a delicate voice came from the sedan chair, "Does the husband want to give the concubine a sedan chair?"

King Gao gritted his teeth, pulled out two arrows in a row, and then drew his longbow and shot himself towards the sedan chair.

The two arrows flew towards the head and chest of the person in the sedan chair respectively, like shooting stars, and then shot into the sedan car.

For a long time, the audience was silent. A burst of laughter like silver bells came from the sedan chair, "Husband, these three arrows have also been shot, why don't you open the sedan curtain, the irritability of the concubines and others." ”

King Gao turned his head to see that the quiver was already empty, and the man holding the quiver was so frightened that his legs were weak, and he muttered in a low voice: "Lord, why don't I go and get a firecracker?"

King Gao threw the longbow to him and said, "Fire your head, take the weighing rod, and I will pick up the sedan curtain." ”

The reason why the sedan curtain is picked up with a scale rod is to imply 'satisfactory'.

A maid next to him handed King Gao a weighing rod more than two feet long, and King Gao took the scale pole and slowly came to the sedan chair.

The body of this big red sedan chair is covered with red curtains, and the dragon and phoenix are inserted on it, and the four corners are painted with golden silk spikes.

King Gao held the weighing rod in his hand, gently opened the sedan curtain, and never saw Mei Jiaoniang, but saw three arrows coming straight to King Gao's eyes and throat.

King Gao didn't pay attention to it, and he didn't dodge. The arrow came to an abrupt halt a few inches in sight.

I saw the bride wearing a red gold silk double phoenix hijab on her head, holding arrows in both hands, and said, "Husband, return your arrows." ”
