Chapter 14: Two Tigers Playing with Pearls (Part 1)
On the other corner of the street, Xiang Zhuang and Zhang Buyi were also wandering in the street. In two days, Xiang Zhuang was going to go back to Xiapi. Before going back, Xiang Zhuang decided to personally send Zhang Buyi back to Xiapi and go south along the way.
Returning to his second uncle, Xiang Zhuang's mind // appeared in Xiang Zhuang's mind: the beautifully made and practical Yansun Bow. However, this bow did not belong to him after all. Xiangzhuang decided to return the Yansigong to Zhang when he arrived at Xiapi.
good.
Thinking like this, Xiang Zhuang couldn't help but reach out and touch the Yansun Bow. On the side, Zhang Buyu looked at it and said with a smile: "Brother Xiang, are you still thinking about returning the bow to your father?"
Xiang Zhuang nodded, but Zhang Buyu smiled and said: "Father will not give things to others easily. Moreover, it is a bow that has been passed down for generations in our Zhang family. Do you know why my father gave you the Yansun Bow?"
Xiang Zhuang was puzzled, Zhang Buyu smiled and said: "This bow is just an item and a decoration in our hands, but in Brother Xiang's hands, it is a sharp weapon on the battlefield. My father is dedicated to helping Korea.
You already know, and I also know, that your Xiang family wants to regain the Chu Kingdom. We all have the same goal, but the focus is different, but the enemies are the same, so my father will give you this bow.
, if you insist on returning the bow, father will not want it."
Zhang Buyi said it sincerely. Xiang Zhuang nodded sheepishly, already understanding in his heart that no matter which path everyone would take in the future, maybe Zhang Liang or Zhang Buyi would also be useful. This is what Zhang Buyi said.
Liang's brilliance is a treasure that he cannot use in exchange for his trust. It's worth it.
While Xiang Zhuang was deep in thought, Zhang Buyi's assistant pointed excitedly forward and said with a smile: "Master, look, there are many people in front of you."
Looking in the direction of the waiter's finger, there was a two-story building in front of him. Downstairs, about a hundred people gathered around, looking up at something. Xiang Zhuang and Zhang Buyi couldn't help but become curious.
Walk towards the small building.
The crowd was bustling, but they all seemed very excited, as if they were waiting for something. Xiang Zhuang handed the horse to the clerk and wanted to go in to see what was going on, but Zhang Buyu stopped him. Xiang Zhuang couldn't help but asked strangely: "What's wrong?"
?”
At this time, a familiar voice came from not far away: "Brother Xiang, Brother Gongsun..."
Zhang Buyi pointed not far away, and Xiang Zhuang saw that Wei Jiu was rushing towards the two of them. However, he was in the crowd at this time. It was very crowded and it was difficult to move. But soon, he walked out and greeted them happily.
, smiled and said: "I drank too much that day and lost my temper a little. Don't take it off. By the way, why are you here?"
Zhang Buyi cupped his hands and said with a smile: "I have to leave the day after tomorrow, let's go out for a walk."
Wei Jiu was surprised and said: "In such a hurry? Stay here for a few days and I will accompany you to go shopping in Suiyang."
Xiang Zhuang waved his hand and said with a smile: "No, I have been away from home for more than half a month. It's time to go back and take a look."
"In that case, I will do it for you two the day after tomorrow." Wei Jiu couldn't help but smile. At this time, Xiang Zhuang couldn't help but curiously asked: "What are so many people doing here?"
When Wei Jiu saw that the two of them didn't know what they were doing here today, so they came to join in the fun, he couldn't help laughing and said, "Don't you know? Today in the Kong Mansion, we are tossing embroidered balls to choose a bride!"
"Throwing a hydrangea?" Xiang Zhuang couldn't help but be surprised. This plot that can only be seen on TV actually exists and happens around him. Thinking of this, Xiang Zhuang couldn't help but feel pity in his heart. If
This poor woman accidentally threw the hydrangea into the hands of a short and ugly man. I'm afraid she will never forgive herself in her life.
Thinking of this, Xiang Zhuang couldn't help laughing, but beside him, Wei Jiu and Zhang Buyi didn't notice anything unusual about Xiang Zhuang. They were discussing something. Soon, Wei Jiu said with a smile: "Kong Mansion is famous in Suiyang."
The head of the big family, Kong Yu, is a descendant of Confucius, and Confucianism is the mainstay of the family."
As soon as Wei Jiu said this, Zhang Buyi was surprised and said: "How could the descendants of Confucius engage in hydrangeas to attract marriage? This is too..."
Wei Jiu saw Zhang Buyi's doubts and said with a smile: "Although Kong Yu is a descendant of Confucius, and his family also inherited Confucius' Confucianism, but after this generation, the Confucian family gradually opened up their ideas, so
I don’t care about this anymore, and I heard that Kong Yu’s daughter personally proposed Hydrangea’s marriage proposal..."
Wei Jiu spoke very longingly, his eyes always glanced at the two-story building inadvertently. On the side, Xiang Zhuang smiled and said, "Where did you hear this?"
Seeing that Xiang Zhuang didn't believe it, Wei Jiu said displeasedly: "This is the information I got after searching all morning. If you don't believe it, you can go in and ask yourself."
Soon, Zhang Buyi and Xiang Zhuang burst into laughter at Wei Jiu's antics.
...
Fusu and his party had arrived at the second floor of the small building. Shusun Tong had already left to inform Kong Kun and was ready to greet him. However, Fusu became interested in so many people gathered in the street, so he took his uncle and Ziying with him.
As he walked toward the crowd, a middle-aged man in a milky white robe blocked Fusu's path. He clasped his hands and said softly: "Sir, there are many people here and it is dangerous. Don't risk entering."
Fusu looked slightly displeased and scolded: "I'll go in and take a look and then come out. Don't ruin my taste."
Seeing that the man was slightly embarrassed, Fusu said again: "My uncle, Ziying, is very good at martial arts. It is enough to protect me."
The man didn't dare to say anything anymore. Fusu and Ziying came to the outer circle of the crowd and looked inside. They were surrounded by young people. They were talking about it, and they probably meant that they were looking for a bride with embroidery balls. Moreover, many people were holding expectations.
With longing eyes and lucky heart, I hope that I can grab the hydrangea and marry this beautiful lady today.
While Fusu was listening to everyone's discussion, Shusun Tong walked quickly and whispered behind Fusu: "Young Master..."
Fusu was interrupted and looked back at Shusun Tong and asked, "Have you sent the invitation?"
Shusun Tong smiled helplessly, leaned in front of Fusu, and whispered: "We are going to have a hydrangea ball here to attract a bride. She is Kong Kun's daughter. Kong Xiuyun throws the ball and Kong Kun accepts his son-in-law. Why don't you go visit some other time?"
"
Fusu couldn't help but become interested. Did Kong Kun, a descendant of Confucius and a famous Confucian for generations, actually allow his daughter Hydrangea to marry? From this point of view, Kong Kun was not a pedantic person. Perhaps, he could gain something from this trip.
, just as Fusu was thinking deeply, not far away, the crisp sound of gongs sounded on the small stage on the second floor.
Immediately afterwards, there was an uproar from everyone. I saw a girl in a cyan skirt walking out of the room and coming to the small stage. Beside her, a maid brought a plate with hydrangea on it. The girl's hands
I picked up the hydrangea, stood on the small table, and looked around.
Everyone was in an uproar and excited. Zhang Buyi pulled Xiang Zhuang and squeezed into the crowd, laughing loudly: "This hydrangea is worth fighting for."
On the side, Wei Jiu, who was always staring at the beauties in Xiaotai, even praised: "Beauties are hard to find..."
But soon, Wei Jiu discovered that Zhang Buyi and Xiang Zhuang, who were beside him just now, had disappeared. He was looking into the crowd. At some point, these two boys had blended into the crowd. He couldn't help but feel resentful.
, these two people were too unloyal, so they also squeezed into the crowd and kept calling Xiang Zhuang and Zhang Buyu.
On the small platform on the second floor, the woman's eyes were attracted by the shouting. She couldn't help but look over. There were three teenagers chattering about something, but one of them was tall and burly. He was wearing a blue cloth and had the same figure as his own skirt.
The color was exactly the same. After looking carefully at his appearance, he was handsome and unrestrained, and there was a chill in his eyes. The woman couldn't help but have a good impression of this man. But suddenly, a gong rang next to her. The woman was frightened. Inadvertently, she
The hydrangea was thrown to the man.
That man was naturally Xiang Zhuang. He had just been attracted by the woman's beauty. Inadvertently, he looked into her eyes. His cheeks turned red. Xiang Zhuang couldn't help but lower his head. But when he lowered his head, Copper
Xiang Zhuang was awakened by the sound of the gong. He looked up and saw that the hydrangea had come straight towards him at some point. With a subconscious movement, Xiang Zhuang stretched out his hand to catch the hydrangea.
But at the same time, there was an uproar in the crowd. They crowded with each other and wanted to grab the hydrangea. But helplessly, the hydrangea went straight to Xiangzhuang. Many people crowded with each other, forming several different strengths, but they all failed.
, causing Xiang Zhuang to be crowded in the middle, and several forces converged on one point, causing Xiang Zhuang to be tightly bound in place, unable to move.
The hydrangea made a graceful arc and fell towards Xiangzhuang. Just before he saw it, the hydrangea was about to fall into Xiangzhuang's arms, but not far away, a dart pierced the hydrangea and nailed it to the wall panel. The hydrangea was flying in the air.
The lower part swayed left and right.
This sudden appearance of the dart caused an uproar in the crowd, but soon, from the outside of the crowd, a middle-aged man in a milky white robe flew up, stepped on everyone's shoulders, and went straight to the hydrangea.
, its speed was extremely fast and its lightness skills were excellent, causing a lot of shouts and curses from the crowd.
"Are you here to show off your ugliness, too?" Xiang Zhuang couldn't help but get angry. He jumped up with force on his right foot, stepped on Wei Jiu's right leg, jumped onto the crowd, and ran quickly in the crowd towards the hydrangea.
After catching up with the man, Xiang Zhuang suddenly punched him, but the man raised his right hand to separate him. Both sides struggled and fell from the top of the crowd. Xiang Zhuang dodged to the right and hid in the crowd.
The man was irritated by the sudden rush of Xiang Zhuang. He kicked down a man next to him with his right foot and was about to rush towards Xiangqiu again. However, the moment he turned around, he saw Xiang Zhuang hiding in the crowd out of the corner of his eye.
The man gave up the hydrangea and ran straight to Xiangzhuang. His right hand was also running, clenched tightly.
Xiang Zhuang saw the man in the crowd. His anger aroused Xiang Zhuang's competitive mentality, and he couldn't help but raise his fist and ran towards the man. The two met in the crowd, and they beat each other with fists and kicks.
Open business.
The hydrangea swayed on the dart, and soon, it finally fell while shaking. The crowd below was in an uproar. When the middle-aged man saw that the hydrangea was about to fall to the ground, he couldn't help but abandon Xiangzhuang and went straight to the hydrangea.
Seeing that the man was about to succeed, Xiang Zhuang ran suddenly and knocked down several people. In front of the man, he came under the hydrangea and reached out to catch the hydrangea, but the man made a move and kicked the hydrangea high into the sky.
furious.
With a fierce tiger strike, Xiang Zhuang went straight to the chest and hit the man. However, the man was also a practitioner. He swept his right leg and tripped Xiang Zhuang down. However, the moment Xiang Zhuang fell to the ground, he used his right hand to support his body.
, a 180-degree rotation, Xiang Zhuang stood up again, and at this time the hydrangea fell down again. Xiang Zhuang wanted to get up and catch the hydrangea, but the man stuck to him like a plaster. Xiang Zhuang could not get away, so he had to
