Chapter 235 They are here, with laughter and joy

The largest venue in Foshan City, the sun hangs in the sky at a thirty-degree angle, looking at the dense crowd below.

The area was surrounded by people who kept pushing forward with their heads held high. In the center of the crowd was a large open space, surrounded by four long lines that separated the people from the lion dance contestants.

Three two-meter-long tables are put together in front of the large open space, and there are more than a dozen chairs behind them. They are empty now, and those people haven't come yet.

Who?

Foshan's officials, big and small, famous squires, merchants with a certain status, and most importantly, the newly appointed parent official in the announcement is Zhou Xiaoxing, the top scholar in Jinke, and Mr. Zhou, who has been in office for a while, Lei Yixiao Lei from Qianhu

The adults haven't appeared yet.

The crowd stirred a few times, and when they saw a large wave of people coming, everyone seemed to have agreed upon it, and they all consciously made way for them.

It’s those people, they came, they came with joy and laughter.

At the front are the two adults with the highest official positions, who are also the focus of this competition, Mr. Zhou and Mr. Lei. Behind them are Foshan officials, famous squires, and high-status businessmen. These people pass by the crowd, feeling everyone's enthusiasm, and carrying

Enjoy the smile and keep waving.

"Master Lei, I can't believe that you are not only efficient in what you do, but also of high quality."

Seeing at least seven or eight circles of people, Zhou Xiaoxing couldn't help but sigh that the people of Foshan were still very enthusiastic, but he didn't know how many people came voluntarily. In a scene like this, he knew that there would be adulteration, but he didn't know

What excuse did Lei Yixiao use to make everyone put aside their own lives?

"Master Zhou is overly praised. I just posted a few notices explaining the content of today's competition. Everyone came over unconsciously, presumably because they wanted to see Master Zhou's style."

This is true. He did not use any means. In fact, he hoped that as few people would come today as possible. On the one hand, the lack of people coming would mean that the people of Foshan did not recognize this new official, which would make Mr. Zhou lose face;

On the other hand, he was so powerful that he couldn't explain why he accidentally injured Zhou Xiaoxing by mistake, or worse, killed Zhou Xiaoxing.

Although they were going to sign military orders for a while, the people didn't understand this. It was good to have a clear explanation. It was not good, and it directly aroused the anger of the masses. Zhou Xiaoxing came from the capital, so he needs to give an explanation.

On the other hand, it would be different if Zhou Xiaoxing injured or killed him. He was a higher official than him, so he could find a reason no matter what.

That's too false.

Zhou Xiaoxing smiled and complained in her heart, continued to walk to the temporarily placed tables and chairs, scanned around, and sat firmly in seat C.

Lei Yixiao and the people behind him repeatedly praised him, "You sit well", "This position should belong to Mr. Zhou", "Mr. Zhou sits upright, I admire him very much"...

He said and went on, not really liking to hear it, but Zhou Xiaoxing enjoyed seeing these people bowing to power.

After only enjoying it for a minute, he stretched out his hand, spread his fingers wide and quickly turned around to make a fist. The false words around him stopped as if receiving instructions.

He clasped his clenched hand to his mouth and coughed vigorously.

"Master Lei, you can start."

Lei Yixiao on the left nodded respectfully, waved his hand, and the lion dance team players waiting on the side walked into the open space. Before the competition, the person holding the lion head came out, bowed politely, and both sides bowed.

Nod, pick up the lion dance and start the competition.

In addition to ordinary performances, the only way to identify which of the two lion dance teams is better is to see who of the two teams is the first to climb onto the platform set up in the open space.

The platform is square and more than five meters high. There is a Cuju inlaid with cabbage on the top, and it is decorated with bells, hangtags and other objects, which means "lucky head".

In the lion dance competition, the first team to win the "luck" is the strongest lion dance, and all lion dance performances in Foshan for the next year will be given to the winning team.

It’s all business, in other words, it’s all money.

Lei Yixiao explained to Zhou Xiaoxing while watching, and at the same time, he paid attention to the people around him to see if there was Huang Feihong. Although the latter was his defeated opponent, he had a great reputation in Foshan. If he appeared suddenly, he would steal most of the lion dance competition.

The limelight.

Although Lei Yixiao explained in detail in his ear, Zhou Xiaoxing's mind was not at all on the heated lion dance competition. He was looking for someone to find someone, and he found someone calmly.

Before leaving the house, Tie Yan'er said that she would appear during Huang Feihong's lion dance. Zhou Xiaoxing cautiously looked in the crowd several times, but she was nowhere to be seen.

Not even Huang Feihong’s shadow was seen.

Aren't the two of them just looking for materials for big cock wings in the city? There's no reason to be so late.

He took the tea cup from Lei Yixiao and didn't put it into his mouth immediately. He just touched it, nodded and smiled, and touched his temples casually.

After opening the clairvoyance, I found that the two of them were on their way. Tie Yan'er was supporting Huang Feihong, who was carrying a large package and dragging Kong Kong Zhenren in his hand, moving slowly.

This desperate abbot, who wanted to drag Huang Feihong down before he died, would have told them to come over in a carriage.

The reason why I didn’t say anything was because they were afraid that their goal would be too big, with two grown men and one woman, and people on the street would misunderstand them.

Seeing the crowd here in Wuyang Wuyang, are there people on the road?

With a shallow sigh, Zhou Xiaoxing bent his fingers, pressed a few times on his temples, and closed the clairvoyance.

Dajun said that if he wanted to go back, he would contact him with his clairvoyance. Lei Yixiao hadn't solved it yet, so he couldn't just open it again.

"Sir, is the lion dance performance too boring for you?"

An adult in his forties on the right asked respectfully.

"No, I just feel a little uncomfortable in my throat."

After I finished speaking, I coughed and sighed a few times, and my movements were exaggerated, as if I was really uncomfortable.

"Uh, everyone, thank you, I have tea myself."

As soon as I removed the hand covering my mouth and nose, there were suddenly several more hands in front of me. Each hand was different, but one thing was the same, they were all holding a cup of tea.

"Master Zhou, drink slowly."

Lei Yixiao was the first to retract his hand. After seeing that Zhou Xiaoxing was fine, he pointed at the winning lion dance team in the open space and grinned.

So what, Mr. Lei, there is laughter in your name. There is no need to smile all the time. What’s the explanation? It’s too ugly, like the black and white impermanence that threatens life.

"Everyone, Mr. Lei is not very talented, and he also wants to participate in today's lion dance competition. Mr. Zhou, you won't refuse, right?"

After saying this, he finally turned his attention to Zhou Xiaoxing. He said he was asking for his opinion, but in fact he was asking for his opinion first.

It's okay, just be happy, anyway... Huang Feihong and the others are here, if you want to be weak yourself, you can't blame others.

As soon as Tie Yaner and the others arrived at the scene, Zhou Xiaoxing, who showed little interest at first, clapped his hands and stood up. Seeing this, the adults, squires and merchants on both sides lowered their hands while they were busy. Zhou Xiaoxing, a scholar, clapped and smiled.

.

"Master Lei, what are you talking about? I don't know that your Centipede team here is very powerful. Last time, it won the lottery in a short period of time. I heard that Master Huang Feihong was the leader of the team that time."

He does his homework, so don’t think that he is really a scholar. A scholar is just a disguise, and he has many vests on his body.

Lei Yixiao smiled "Haha", knowing his power. This time, he will make Foshan Lion Dance disappear from history completely. From now on, Foshan will only recognize his Centipede Team.

When going out, the crowd made a way. Everyone lowered their heads and felt dissatisfied: It was a joke that a centipede lying on the ground walking around could be compared with Master Huang's lion dance. Last time, they

If you haven’t seen it with your own eyes, you won’t believe it.

When Lei Yixiao solved the lion dance team in the venue with three strokes, five divisions and two, the crowd became quite quiet. Everyone was so scared that they held their breath. That centipede can hurt people. It should be said that the centipede's legs have long blades. See

When it comes to the lion dance, hook it until a piece of meat is carved out.

Too cruel.

Sitting Zhou Xiaoxing couldn't help it and slapped the table. This time, he was a one-man show.

"Master Zhou, don't be so upset. This performance is wonderful. Master Lei's centipede team is well-trained, but the lion dance team is not as good as others."

It’s the forty-year-old man at the head.

Okay, the anger in his heart has no place to vent. You bump into him. Don't say that Zhou Xiaoxing looks down on him and doesn't give him face.

Moving sideways, Zhou Xiaoxing opened and closed his right hand, grabbed the man's clothes on his chest, and slowly lifted it up until his toes left the ground.

Zhou Xiaoxing had a bright smile on his stern face. When he saw the adult was so frightened that he begged for mercy, his face became gentle. He gently put him down, loosened his hand, opened his fist in front of his face, and patted his face.
p>

"Sir, I feel the same way. Master Lei's Centipede team over there is so powerful. I can't think of a good way to add to the fun. You just happened to show up..."

If you don’t want to take it out on you, why don’t you find someone else?

People on both sides didn't dare to show off their arrogance. They had always heard that Zhou Xiaoxing was a gentle man and never fought or killed. When Leng Buding saw this scene, he was really stupid.

The reason why they came to watch was not only due to the needs of their surroundings and such an occasion had to occur, but also a more important reason. They came to monitor Lei Yixiao, otherwise he would bully the new parent officer.

Looking at it this way, it’s not necessary, they just need to be an audience.

Lei Yixiao is a smiling tiger who makes everyone around him cheerful. In fact, he has the worst heart. I heard that Nengren Temple in the suburbs hides many girls from other places. It is said that the abbot there colludes with the imperial officials and engages in illegal activities.

Buy and sell locally.

There is a rumor in the city that this official is Lei Yixiao. Because his parents resigned due to illness, no official dared to investigate the case, so the matter was left undisturbed.

It wasn't until Zhou Xiaoxing's arrival that everyone saw a little bit of hope. Now, it has become half a glimmer.

The word "official" is two-syllable, so it's not wrong.

"Sir, thank you for your mercy."

The forty-year-old man was slumped in his seat. He had no time to observe the reactions of the people around him and instinctively said his thanks. He shouldn't talk too much.

"Come on, I see everyone is so happy, it's just a show."

Zhou Xiaoxing spread his hands, smiled helplessly, and sat down after saying this. At the same time, he glanced at the crowd and saw that Huang Feihong had already put on the "big cock clothes", took a few steps back, and started running.
