If there is something, it will be slow, and if there is nothing, it will be fast, and in an instant, the third year of Jian'an - October 30 has arrived, which is Xiao Yi's 27th birthday and the day of his sister's marriage.
On this day, the Hou Mansion was full of lights, red felt paved the floor, dressed up in flowers, Xiao Yi took his wife and concubines, sisters, all dressed in red costumes, and even the two baby sons also changed into red swaddling clothes, a joyful atmosphere filled people's hearts!
At the same time, the middle door of the Hou Mansion is wide open, and the two corridors play music, welcoming the guests who come, "Ghost Face Xiao Lang" celebrates his birthday, and at the same time, his sister is out of the cabinet, and she is married to the son of "ghost talent", who dares not to give face, civil and military officials, door valve family owners, and rich businessmen...... All came to congratulate, and countless vehicles crowded in front of the house, and there was no edge in sight......
"Congratulations to Da Sima! -Blessing is like the East China Sea, Shoubi Nanshan! ”
"Congratulations to the Great Sima! -My sister is out of the cabinet, and her marriage is happy! ”
………………………………
The guests who came to congratulate carried all kinds of valuable gifts, such as gold and silver jewelry, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, silk and satin...... It's just piled up, ten account gentlemen, lined up for registration, writing for a moment, just tired and sweating!
This is a hurry, too late to notify in place, all the princes and local officials, can not come to congratulate, otherwise the guests are several times more, even so, they also sent people to send gifts, especially Jixian - Liang Xiaoyu, sent a pair of pure gold 'longevity, happiness' words, each weighing ninety-nine pounds nine taels nine dollars, inlaid with various gems, really priceless!
As the father of the groom, Guo Jia came to the door with the new lady, also wearing a dress, beaming, but did not bring any gifts, just two people and two mouths, to avenge the bride price, Xiao Yi and Cao Jie went out to greet them, and as soon as the four of them met, they were immediately embarrassed......
"I've seen my sister and brother-in-law...... Well, my sister and brother-in-law are here! ”
"I've seen my in-laws and mothers...... Well, virtuous nephews, virtuous nephews and daughters-in-law are so good! ”
"Hah! Ha! …… Hey! Hey! ”
………………
After the four of them saluted, they all burst into laughter, their relationship was complicated, it was difficult to explain clearly, one thing was for sure - kiss after kiss, watch and help each other!
Xiao Yi and Guo Jia married the daughter of the Cao family, Guo Jia's baby son, and married Xiao Yi's sister, through the marriage relationship, Cao, Xiao and Guo formed a political alliance, one loss and loss, one glory, sincere unity, invincible in the world!
…………………………………………………………………………………………
In the morning, the birthday banquet began first, Xiao Yat and Cao Jie wore auspicious clothes, sat side by side in the lobby, accepted everyone's birthday salutes, and then set up the banquet, with wine, food, singing and dancing...... To entertain the guests who came, the Hou Mansion gave food to the outside, and ninety-nine stalls were lined up, with red dots and big steamed buns, and fragrant mutton soup...... Let the people of Xuchang fight the tooth sacrifice again!
Guan Guan Ju Dove, in the river island, my fair lady, gentleman is good;
jagged vegetables, left and right, fair lady, coveted it;
I can't ask for it, I can't think about it, I am leisurely, I toss and turn;
………………………………………………
At the same time, Guo Yi wore a purple and gold crown, wore a groom's clothes, rode a white dragon horse, and led the team out to welcome his relatives in the accompaniment of drum music......
The greeting team set off from the Hou Mansion, along the White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, Qinglong, Xuanwu four streets turned a big circle, along the way constantly throwing broken silver, copper coins, steamed buns, ushered in bursts of cheers, full of more than an hour, but also shook enough majesty, and returned to the Hou Mansion without worries, stepped forward to knock on the door to welcome the relatives......
"Please get out of the cabinet and get on the bus! …… Please invite the newcomers out of the cabinet and get on the bus! ”
Hundreds of beautiful girls, shouting in unison, the voice is crisp, the sweet bones are crispy, the leaders are Lu Ling'er and Sun Shangxiang, as soon as Sister Xiaojing gets married, they are the new leaders of the Women's Army!
"Whoever greets your relatives, please report to your home first, and then accept the test, and pass the three levels of wisdom, courage and benevolence before you can enter!"
Xiao Bin and Cao Xing were wearing iron armor, holding swords, leading dozens of personal soldiers, blocking the gate of the Hou Mansion, and it was not easy to marry Da Sima's sister, they knew the content of the three levels, one was more tricky than the other!
"Guo Yi, the son of the Marquis of Weiyang, came to marry the sister of Da Sima, married Qin and Jin, and is willing to accept the test, please ask the question!"
Guo Yi is smiling, his words are sincere, and he is a standard chic little gentleman, but in the heart of the bad boy, he is also secretly worried, the question from the eldest brother is probably not easy to solve, right?
"The first level tests wisdom, please ask the groom official to write 10,000 words on a piece of white paper within a pillar of incense, and the handwriting must be neat and the strokes are strong, so that you can pass the test, otherwise you will be ordained ten times, as a punishment!"
In a gust of fragrant wind, the talented woman Cai Wenji appeared, she was the first level examiner, holding a ring ruler, three feet long, two inches wide, made of hard iron and wood, hit on the palm of her hand, absolutely want to die!
At the same time, the attendants brought books, pen and ink, copper stoves, incense candles, and a piece of paper, one foot long and half a foot wide, white as jade, and then lit the incense candles......
"The paper is too small, don't say 10,000 words, if you can write a hundred words, you can be considered a top master!"
"There is also a restriction on a pillar of incense, that is, the paper is large enough, who writes 10,000 words, could it be that Da Sima deliberately makes things difficult?"
…………………………………………
The crowd of onlookers whispered, shook their heads and sighed, thinking that this level was too difficult, and it was not possible for human power to do it.
"Isn't it difficult for a strong man to write 10,000 words on a one-foot-long and half-foot-wide piece of paper...... No, this level tests wisdom, there must be a way to crack it, think calmly......"
Looking at the pen and paper, incense and candles in front of him, Guo Yi's face was purple and his heart was beating wildly, if he couldn't clear the customs and hit a few times, I am afraid that his husband would not be able to do anything in the future, but the eldest brother is cunning and domineering, but he will not do things absolutely, there must be a way, that is......
Guo Yi looked at his nose, nose and mouth, and asked his heart, not in a hurry, but closed his eyes and pondered, let the incense candle burn, and when there was only a little candle left, he suddenly stepped forward, holding a wolf pen, brushing a few clicks to write, holding a note high, on which the three words of dragon flying and phoenix dance...... '10,000 words!' ’
"Ten thousand words! …… It's really '10,000 words', it's so simple, why didn't I think of it? ”
"Just your pig brain, it's strange to think of it, such a tricky problem can be solved, no wonder you become Da Sima's sister-in-law, what a young man!"
Looking at the '10,000 words' of the dragon flying and phoenix dance, everyone praised each other, and at the same time, they also looked at Guo Yi with admiration, worthy of being the son of a 'ghost talent', he really has a lot of cleverness!
In addition, with Guo Jia and Xiao Yi's two backers, plus his own smart mind, the young man's future is immeasurable, and after a few years, I am afraid that it will not be difficult to get in and out of the phase!
"The little groom is very smart, cleverly breaking the level, worthy of being a young man, please enter the house!"
In front of the Hou Mansion, Cai Wenji nodded with satisfaction, and then raised her hand lightly, and the soldiers dodged left and right, quickly giving way to a road!
"Thank you Second Lady for taking care of me, the kid got by, God blesses me, give me marriage!"
"Huh! …… Don't be too complacent, boy, the next level will test your courage, but you can bear it! ”
After passing the first level, Guo Yi led the welcoming team to enter the gate of the Hou Mansion one after another, and came to the front of the lobby.
"The second level tests courage, I'm just a weak woman, as long as the little groom shows his martial arts and beats the bright silver spear in my hand, he can welcome the bride!"
In front of the lobby of the Hou Mansion, the sixth lady Zhao Yu is wearing a silver helmet, wearing a silver frost armor, holding a gentian bright silver gun, heroic and majestic, it is really like a tiger going down the mountain and a dragon going out to sea!
Next to it stood a weapon shelf, on which swords, guns, swords, halberds, axes, hooks, forks, boring sickles, mallets, whips, hammers, and claws...... Eighteen kinds of weapons are complete, and they are full of weight, shining, all of them are first-class boutiques!
"It's over! …… The six ladies are heroes among women, with high skills, and ordinary generals are still difficult to beat, not to mention that I am a little scholar, and I am not looking for teeth all over the ground? ”
In the face of the second difficulty, Guo Yi is really numb, he is familiar with military books, proficient in strategy, but he doesn't know martial arts, he knows all about eighteen weapons, but unfortunately he can't use them!
"The sixth lady was born in a martial arts family, and she is deeply influenced by her brother's true inheritance, white horse and silver spear, invincible, even if Da Sima wants to win, it will take some effort, ordinary people are opponents!"
"I heard that the groom is proficient in strategy, but unfortunately he doesn't know martial arts, so let him forcibly compete in martial arts, isn't it driving lambs to feed the tigers, he is absolutely dead!"
The guests in the lobby also came out to watch, after comparing the strength of the two sides, they were generally not optimistic about Guo Yi, even his father Guo Jia shook his head frequently, the second level is too difficult, how can the baby son pass?
