Chapter 263

Suddenly seeing this situation, Jing Shi's expression remained calm, and he asked Li Tan in a low voice, "Where did this come from?"

Li Tan said: "This is the Zhou family calling the battle. If you can't make it today, don't want to see the bride's face." After saying that, he stuffed the wedding candy jar into Jingshi's arms, walked out of the crowd with his head held high, and sang loudly: "Today I will visit your home, don't you?" For the sake of the magpie, not for the sun. If you want to welcome the beautiful lady of your family, I hope the younger sister will make way."

When the opposite girl heard him pick up the song, she smiled and stepped back to the side.Then a girl with a round face and a jasmine hairpin came to the front and sang: "My Wen Niang is beautiful and gracious, like a bright moon in the sky. What about your husband, how can you call Fenghuang Luo's house?"

Li Tan turned his head to look back at the team, winked at his usual friends, and someone jumped out and sang: "My boy is good at everything, sister, you can listen carefully. His heart is so hard, his body is hard, he is smart, capable and affectionate."

The girl on the opposite side laughed when she heard the song, and stepped aside, and another female companion sang again.Jing Shi watched it for several rounds, and he realized it in his heart. He said to Li Tan next to him, "All the girls here are going to sing?"

Li Tan said: "Who can say for sure about this! They put on a girly formation, and as many of them came out and sang, we will also know how many of them should go. When the leading lady comes out and sings again, it will be considered that we have passed this day." suffered."

Jing Shi raised his eyes and said: "It seems that we have more people."

Li Tan shook his head and said, "Don't look at the fact that we have so many people, we all rely on our strength, but not everyone can sing. There are rules in this Empress Formation. People who have sung before can't go up again, and the groom himself can't sing." To be sure, the battle is whether you have many relatives and friends. The Zhou family chose this one, entrusting the carefully selected women's army, and prepared in advance. How did we think about this? If there are not enough people later, you You have to go up too."

Jing Shi was silent for a moment and said: "No need."

Li Tan said: "The boss will not be able to marry a wife today, and he will be a bachelor for the rest of his life."

Jing Shi was suddenly speechless.Li Tannai persuaded: "Don't worry, this song is on the left and right. If you can't do it, I will make a few words with you then, so that you will not be confused on the spot. And it will be a cut for the boss."

Jing Shi straightened his face and said, "I'm off tune."

But Li Tan didn't allow him to be vague, he laughed and said, "I've known you for many years, but I haven't heard you sing a word. How do you know if you're a dumb magpie? I've only heard this tune seven or eight times. , can you still run to the sky?"

Jing Shi also had no choice but to stand still and wait.Seeing that there are fewer and fewer singers in the team, there are only three or four men who can be used, so they have to go up to pick up the songs.Just because she was depressed, the first girl who sang came out suddenly, and sang in her mouth: "I saw a good family today, and I am really proud of everything. I would like to send the girl to marry and have a baby in the next year." After singing softly Applause, ten or so girls all covered their mouths and sniggered, shoving and shoving each other out of the way.It turns out that the Empress Formation was originally a wedding custom, trying to be lively and auspicious, but also to show that the woman is hard to find.But after more than a dozen rounds of confrontation today, they have already made a good profit, and it is inconvenient to lose face to the man, so they just came out to make a conclusion.

The girl team took back their positions and told Jingshi to escape.The welcoming team went forward without any hindrance, all the way to the front of Zhou's house, picked up the bride's sedan chair, played all the way back, stepped over the brazier, set up the wedding banquet, and worshiped.It was so noisy that at night, Fang rushed a couple to the new house.Jing Shi and Li Tan are both in front of the door. When they see a newcomer, they throw some peanuts and red dates over.Li Tan said while talking to Jing Shi: "Your place is full of big dates and apricots. Don't throw the bride, lest she trip up. Hit the boss." Jing Shi really believed his words, and went straight to Li Diaodou head greeting.Li Diao was dodged by him, copied a jujube, and hit Jingshi in the face when others were not prepared.Waiting for revenge, the guests have already crowded into the room, only Jing Shi and Li Tan are left standing in front of the door, watching the scene lively.The two looked at each other and smiled, Li Tan said: "To make this marriage, we need to strip off half of the boss."

Jing Shi responded, "You're coming too."

Li Tan said with a pooh, "Why am I in a hurry? It's inconvenient to go out when you have a family and a business. But you should be careful. I think the boss thinks that once the marriage is over, I will worry about your leisure."

Jing Shi smiled and said, "Let's clean it up first." He and Li Tan collected the remnants of the mats in the courtyard. They worked until midnight before returning to Li's house to rest.Li Tan had a busy day, and fell asleep as soon as he touched his pillow.Jing Shi was lying on the couch with his eyes open, and when he heard the sound of snoring, he got up, fetched the package under the couch, left the letter and left the silver, and went out of the house quietly.But seeing that the sky was cloudy and the stars were sparse, the blowing made the red lantern tremble, and the colorful talismans were all over the place. Although it was full of auspicious words about relatives and loving each other in the world, I had to stand alone in the courtyard, feeling lonely and lonely.

Seeing this situation, he was in a daze for a moment, put his hand into his neck, and pulled out a jade ring tied with a white string.He silently looked at it for a moment, then put it back under his clothes, took a step, and headed towards two or three lone stars to the south.Since I walked alone all night, until noon, I had already traveled a hundred miles from Xiaoyuan Township, and finally felt tired, so I sat down by the road and took a little rest.

When he returned to his hometown today, he intended to use the crane in the mountain to help him when he left, and carry him into the county so that he could hire a car and buy a horse.Unexpectedly, he went to the mountain several times, let him bring fresh mussels and fragrant fruits, and tried to lure him in every possible way, but the cranes just shook their heads and tails, not being moved.It would be fine if he sent a book or a letter, but he absolutely refused to let Jingshi get on his back. I don't know if he thought he was a man's weight, or because he was tamed by the monks in the mountains.

Jingshi couldn't lure the cranes to help him, and he had no choice but to go out of the mountain and enter the county on foot.Although he doesn't have the supernatural power of Li He, he has traveled to and from the mountains since he was a child, and he has great endurance and patience. He sleeps for two or three hours a day, and he doesn't suffer from labor or disease. He can't get it by himself. Natural energy is extraordinary, but the only thing I can't get used to is drinking, since the snacks I always feel bitter, I don't know why.

In this way, he rushed to the county, hired a carriage and went south, and when he arrived in the city, he hired a horse and a good horse. It took more than two months to pass Minyun Pass in Yue State, and finally arrived in the territory of Daan State.Because the capital, Yano, is originally in the northern part of the city, it doesn't take much to travel.

In the early morning of this day, Jingshi entered the outskirts of the city, and saw a majestic city at the head of the road, with green brick walls, high arrow towers, and dense battlements on the top of the walls, spread far away, and the corners were hidden in the purple mist of sunlight. Among them, it seems to be boundless.He galloped closer, only to see a slender man in blue shirt standing in the willow forest outside the city, looking quietly towards the road.

At this time, the mist is thick and the clouds are thick, and this gentleman is far away, so he can't see his face clearly, but he has a wide robe and a loose belt, wearing clogs and a scarf, standing in a graceful manner, as calm as a jade tree facing the wind.

The man in green shirt saw the horse from a distance, and he also greeted him with slow steps, but when he came closer, he saw that his face was covered with white powder, his eyes were full of clear springs, and his two curved eyebrows were drawn straight like swords.Dressed in scholarly clothes, he is a graceful and handsome young man.After Jing Shi got off his horse, he stopped and saluted, and said in a gentle voice: "According to the date, Xiang Ziyun should arrive in the next few days, so he often came outside the city to wait for him, fortunately, he never missed it."

Jing Shi replied, "I'm sorry for your trouble, Mrs. Zhuang." It turns out that this person is Zhang Duan.

Zhang Duan smiled slightly when he heard that he was pronouncing each other, and then he led the way into the city, saying as he walked, "What an important thing to do, Ziyun congratulates the eldest brother. The second host is Zou Yu, the second son of the Qin Kingdom. Although he has a good reputation, if he is not a generous person, saying that you despise the king's order, deliberately refuse to be recommended for a test, and directly remove you from the list, what should you do? it is good?"

Jing Shi followed her and said, "It doesn't matter if you don't get selected, in fact, I don't really want to be an official."

Zhang Duan said: "Don't speak in vain. This big move is for the Son of Heaven to recruit talented people. It is unusual for the government to select officials. Although the Son of Heaven entrusts Prince Yu of the Dang Kingdom to supervise the exams, envoys from China must come to supervise the exams. This is a big move. You can't take the head, if you can make friends with him, it will also be beneficial for Zi Yun to enter the middle land."
