The hydrangea flew up, and Xiang Zhuang freed up his hand to fight with the man. There was no difference between them, and Xiang Zhuang did not gain half the advantage. However, the hydrangea kept falling downwards. Xiang Zhuang saw that the man was focusing on the upper body fight.

, but with a feint and a sweep with his right foot, the man turned around to dodge, and Xiang Zhuang jumped up and threw himself at the Hydrangea.

Not far away, Fusu, who had been watching the two fighting for the embroidery ball, showed a sly smile, and laughed with the emperor's uncle Ziying who was watching the battle: "Su Jiao is a formidable general under Meng Tian. He has experienced hundreds of battles. This time."

At that time, I couldn't take any advantage in front of this kid, which shows how superb this person's martial arts skills are."

Ziying was also watching the two of them competing for the hydrangea seriously, like two tigers playing with a pearl, no matter who was up or down, and secretly applauded in his heart. At this moment, he was interrupted by Fusu's words, and he couldn't help but laugh: "Wait a minute, I will try this kid again."

"

Fusu also sighed helplessly: "If I don't take this kind of talent, how long will it take? I just don't know where he is from and what his name is?"

As soon as Fusu spoke, Xiang Zhuang suddenly jumped up and rushed towards the hydrangea. Fusu couldn't help but clapped his hands and cheered, but on the side, Ziying smiled coldly, took out a jade pendant from his arms, waved it smoothly, and the jade pendant flew away quickly.

It hit Xiang Zhuang in the leg. Xiang Zhuang lost his center of gravity and fell down again.

But it was Su Jiao who was wearing a milky white brocade robe. He got the opportunity and jumped up suddenly. Just as the hydrangea was about to fall into Su Jiao's hands, Xiang Zhuang yelled, grabbed Su Jiao's right leg and threw the hydrangea horizontally.

The competition is very fierce.

At this moment, an arrow was suddenly shot from outside the crowd, penetrating the hydrangea again and nailing it to the beam. The two of them stared at each other angrily, like two hungry tigers fighting for prey.

At some point, the crowd had automatically formed a circle, leaving the open space in the middle to two men competing for the embroidered balls. These two men were so skilled in martial arts that no one in the surrounding crowd dared to compete for the embroidered balls anymore, even those in the small building.

, the woman who just threw the hydrangea was now staring, looking down with concern.

In her heart, she kept praying, hoping that this hydrangea would be picked up by the boy in blue clothes, otherwise, she would rather never marry.

Soon, Xiang Zhuang got up first and ran towards the position of Hydrangea. Su Jiao, not to be outdone, followed closely behind. The two refused to give way to each other. Just as they were about to rush closer, Xiang Zhuang suddenly turned around and shouted.

There was a sound like thunder, deafening, eyes bursting with gunfire, making people shudder, but his right hand had already taken out a dagger from his arms, suddenly pulled it out, and looked at Su Jiao coldly.

Su Jiao realized something was wrong and immediately stopped and stepped back. However, at this moment, Xiang Zhuang turned around and took out the dagger. The dagger flew quickly and inserted one step below the hydrangea. Xiang Zhuang also took advantage of Su Jiao's retreat.

At this opportunity, a fierce tiger struck out the heart, grabbed Su Jiao's whole body, shouted loudly, and threw Su Jiao alive.

With a plan of floating clouds and swallows, Xiang Zhuang suddenly jumped up, stepped on Su Jiao, and stepped on the dagger. He jumped up, grabbed the hydrangea, and raised it above his head. Everyone at the scene was stunned. Soon, everyone unconsciously

There was applause and the scene was very lively.

On the small stage, the woman finally let go of her hanging heart. Her eyes were full of expectation. I don’t know how long it took. Amidst the cheers of everyone, the woman quietly took the maid with her.

, turned around and walked into the house.

Not far away, Fusu nodded in approval. He originally wanted to grab the hydrangea as a gift for the audience. Although he would not marry Kong Kun's daughter, she could still be a concubine, but the young man suddenly appeared.

It disrupted his plan and made him feel that if this person could recruit his subordinates, he would be even more powerful.

On the side, Ziying said with a smile: "My two attempts to thwart him and General Meng Tian's fierce general Su Jiao's entanglement in every possible way failed to stop him. This guy is a skilled practitioner, you might as well take him under your command."

Fusu was also very optimistic about Xiang Zhuang, so he nodded in approval and said with a smile: "This matter can be discussed later. Let's visit Kong Yu first."

...

There was an uproar in the crowd. Many people were cheering for Xiang Zhuang. Some people even came up and clasped their fists to congratulate Xiang Zhuang on his sweet mother. However, some people looked a little disappointed and left with their heads lowered and sighed, but no one paid attention.

See, Xiang Zhuang's face looked very bad at this moment. He had just been focused on competing with others, but he had forgotten that the one who captured the hydrangea wanted to marry this beautiful lady.

Xiang Zhuang had no preparation in his heart. The sudden change made him at a loss. Just because someone had snatched the hydrangea by unfair means, Xiang Zhuang was angry for a moment, so he took action to fight. Thinking of the person who put him in a dilemma, Xiang Zhuang

Zhuang felt great hatred in his heart and suddenly looked back, but he didn't know when that man had left.

Zhang Buyi, Wei Jiu came over with a smile. Wei Jiu was the first to hold up his hands and said with a smile, "Congratulations, Brother Xiang, on your beautiful wife."

But Zhang Buyi sighed from the side: "I had known that one day, after I had finished my martial arts training, such a beautiful mother-in-law would be fought over by Brother Xiang."

Wei Jiu also sighed, but when he thought that when Xiang Zhuang took action, he stepped on himself and jumped onto the human wall, he couldn't help complaining: "Brother Xiang, I have to say something to you. Next time you step on me, can you say hello?"

?”

As soon as Wei Jiu's words came out, they both burst into laughter. At this time, Zhang Buyi sneered: "Brother Wei, you have to ask Brother Xiang for an explanation for this kind of thing. At least, he will be happy to have a lovely wife with you."

Half the credit.”

"That's right, that's right." Wei Jiu nodded frequently, but Xiang Zhuang said displeasedly: "I just saw that man using despicable means to snatch the hydrangea, so I acted righteously. Since you two are so envious, I might as well give the hydrangea to you.

!”

Xiang Zhuang wanted to push the hydrangea out, but the two of them dodged in unison. This speed was faster than Xiang Zhuang. Xiang Zhuang couldn't help but secretly cursed the two of them for not being loyal enough.

But thinking back to the woman he just saw, with ice-like skin, blue skirt, and dancing figure, she was like a fairy descending from the earth. Xiang Zhuang couldn't help but reminisce about the feeling just now. However, at this moment, from the concierge,

A middle-aged man in his thirties walked out of the house. He came to Xiang Zhuang, clasped his hands in his fists, and saluted: "I am the son of Kong Yu, Kong Ji, and I have come to invite my sister//husband to the house for a chat."

"Sister//husband?" Xiang Zhuang was stunned...

When Kong Ji saw Xiang Zhuang looking slightly surprised, he thought in his mind that he must be calling his sister/husband directly, which was a bit abrupt, so he couldn't help but laugh and said: "Don't you know the name of the hero?"

At this time, Xiangzhuang was on the verge of riding a tiger and had no way to retreat. He had no choice but to hold his hands in front of him and said with a smile: "I have met Brother Kong Ji in Xiangzhuang."

The two of them saluted each other. Kong Ji pointed forward and said with a smile: "Kong's house is right in front. My father and sister have gone back first. Brother Xiang, please follow me."

Kong Ji made an invitation gesture and walked to the north of the street first. Xiang Zhuang had no choice but to follow him. However, at this moment, he saw a jade pendant on the ground. This jade pendant should be the jade pendant that had just attacked him. Xiang Zhuang left

I picked it up in the past and saw a very eye-catching word "infant" on the jade pendant. I couldn't help but wonder, who could sneak up on me?

Zhang Buyi, who had already walked away, realized at this moment that Xiang Zhuang had not followed. He hurriedly turned around, pulled Xiang Zhuang and said hurriedly: "Groom, please leave quickly."

With a distance in his heart, Kong Ji looked back at Xiang Zhuang and saw that he was a little reserved. He couldn't help but smile and said: "Our Kong family has been living in Suiyang for several generations. My father, Kong Yu, is a descendant of Confucius. His family advocates Confucianism and his disciples

A lot."

Speaking of this, Kong Ji glanced at Xiang Zhuang and saw that he was not interested in these things, so he couldn't help but continue: "My sister is seventeen years old this year. She is in the prime of life. Everyone in the family dotes on her and spoils her. That's why

In this way, she got married not far away and insisted on choosing a son-in-law, which made her father helpless and had to agree."

After speaking, Kong Ji smiled and continued: "However, my father is not a pedantic person, and he did not force my sister to choose today to hold the embroidery ball selection ceremony at the restaurant."

After Kong Ji finished speaking, he smiled at everyone, pointed to a house in front of him, and said with a smile: "This is the Kong Mansion, please come in."

At this time, Zhang Buyi turned around, ordered the men to tie their horses to the horse posts in front of the door, and then hurriedly chased everyone away.

...

The Confucius Mansion occupies a small area, with a total of four yards. Among them, the front yard has a rockery, a small pavilion and a flower field. After passing through the front yard, you come to the east yard, which is where the Confucius family receives guests.

The west courtyard is where Kong Ji and Kong Kun study and live, and the backyard is where Kong Xiuyun lives. It can be said that the layout of the Kong family is clear.

In Kong Yu's living room, several maids brought tea and placed a cup in front of each person. At this time, Kong Ji clasped his hands in fists, looked at everyone, and apologized: "Excuse me."

Kong Ji left, Xiang Zhuang put the hydrangea in his hand on the table, came to the center of the living room, and looked around. Although the Kong family was not a wealthy family, the overall layout was elegant and had a unique flavor.

On the wall, unlike ordinary families, who would hang some weapons or the flag of their country, in the Confucius Mansion, hanging on the wall was a portrait of a beauty. She was sitting on a hill next to a waterfall, with rolling flowers behind her.

There is a waterfall of water, but next to it is a Populus euphratica tree. The woman is holding a needle and thread in her hand and is embroidering seriously. Although the artistry of this painting is not as beautiful as that of later generations, in this era, this painting is also

Excellent.

Just as Xiang Zhuang was wandering around, rapid footsteps came from outside the living room. Xiang Zhuang hurriedly turned around and sat back in his seat. At this time, Kong Ji accompanied a man in his forties and walked in.

In the living room, the man looked at Xiang Zhuang for a while and couldn't help but laugh loudly: "You must be the one who captured the hydrangea."

Xiang Zhuang stood up in a hurry, cupped his hands and replied, "That's right."

Kong Ji stepped forward and introduced: "Brother Xiang, this is my father Kong Yu."

When Zhang Buyi and Wei Jiu saw Kong Kun coming, they hurriedly got up and, together with Xiang Zhuang, saluted Kong Kun: "Greetings to Uncle Kong."

Kong Yu laughed again, pointed at the soft seats, and asked everyone to take their seats. At this time, he himself came to the main table and sat down. Kong Ji was accompanying him. After a short silence, Kong Yu said with a smile: "I heard what Jill said.

, your name is Xiang Zhuang?"

Xiang Zhuang nodded, and Kong Kun asked again: "I wonder where you live and who else is at home?"

Kong Yu was interrogating him, which made Xiang Zhuang feel a little unhappy, but after all, he was an elder, so Xiang Zhuang had no choice but to stand up and reply: "I am a minister, and I have two uncles at home, one named Xiang Liang and the other

My name is Xiang Bo, and I have an older brother and a younger brother, namely Xiang Yu and Xiang You."

Speaking of this, Xiang Zhuang added: "My grandfather is Xiang Yan, the general of the Chu State, and my father is Xiang Qu, the general of the left army."

After Kong Yu heard about Xiang Yan, his eyes lit up and he said happily: "Are you a descendant of Xiang Yan?"
