Chapter 6 Chapter 05 Yue Fei's Trial of Nine Arrows and Li Chun's Century-old Marriage

The poem says: I have never gone to the Golden Palace to spread swelling, and I know that fish and dragons have changed a lot. Instead of drawing a peacock on the screen, teach the fairy to get close to Chang'e. It is said that at that time Zhou Tong asked Yue Fei: "Why don't you take the exam?" Yue Fei said: "The three brothers are all from wealthy families, and they all went to prepare clothes for bows and horses. Look at the rags and rags on the child, who has money?" Come to buy a horse? For that reason, say yes and wait until you graduate.” Zhou Tong nodded and said, “That is also true. Anyway, you come with me.” Yue Fei followed Zhou Tong to the bedroom.Zhou Tong opened the box, took out a half-new and half-worn plain white robe, a piece of bright red brocade, and a big red luan belt, put them on the table, and called out, "My son, let me tell you about this dress. Change your figure into a battle robe, and the rest into a scarf. This piece of red brocade is used to make a waistcoat and a pair of sleeves. The big red luan belt, bring it to tie it. Send the king to my horse I will borrow it from you. I will go to the city in the early morning of the 15th, but I can pack it up overnight." Yue Fei agreed, took it home, told his mother that he knew it, and An Ren did it overnight.

The next day, Zhou Tong was sitting alone in his study reading the text. He heard footsteps, and looked up to see Yang Huai walking in, saying, "Bow, sir! My father asked you to look at the students, but are they dressed like this?" Zhou Tong saw Tang Huai's head. He wears a plain white scarf with a big red peony embroidered on the top; he wears a plain white embroidered battle gown with a big red embroidered velvet waistcoat around his neck, big red sleeves on both sides, and a soft silver belt around his waist. , wearing ebony powder-soled boots.Zhou Tong said: "It's just this kind of attire." Tang Huai said again: "Father asked Mr. to have dinner at Hexia tomorrow, so that we can go to the city together." gone."

Tang Huai went, and saw Zhang Xian coming in again, wearing a green satin scarf, also embroidered with a peony flower; wearing a green satin embroidered war robe, also red waistcoat, red sleeves, soft gold belt on the waist, feet Wear a pair of silver-soled green satin boots.He made a bow to Zhou Tong and said, "Sir, look at the students, do they look like friends from Wuzhong?" Zhou Tong said, "Okay! You go back and pay your respects to the present. You don't have to wait for me tomorrow, but you can meet in the school grounds." Zhang Xian agreed to go back, followed Wang Gui and came in, calling out, "Sir, please see how the students are wearing?" But he was wearing a red war robe, a red scarf on his head, embroidered with a white pink flower; Red waistcoats, red sleeves, red gold soft belts around the waist, and golden satin boots under the feet.With his red face, his whole body is like burning coals.Zhou Tong said: "Wonderful! You don't have to wait for me when you go into the city with Daddy tomorrow. I'll have dinner at your Brother Yue's house, and we'll meet him in the school grounds."

Just as Wang Gui was sent out, Yue Fei came in again and said, "Father, is this the way you are?" Zhou Tong said, "Let's just settle down for now! Your brothers have agreed to meet tomorrow in the school grounds. I will meet tomorrow." I want to have dinner at your house, and get up with you." Yue Fei said, "It's just that my son's house doesn't have good food and treats." Zhou Tong said, "Just whatever you want." Yue Fei agreed, said goodbye and went home, and told his mother. In the early morning of the next day, Zhou Tong came over, had dinner with Yue Fei, got up and went out.Zhou Tong rode the horse himself, and Yue Fei followed behind.All the way to Neihuang County, you can see that there are huge crowds of people, all kinds of market transactions and the tea canopy wine shop, so lively!Zhou Tong picked a clean tea tent, tied the horse to the tree in front of the door, walked into the tent, and the father and son took the seat and drank tea.

Those three members had relatives and friends in the city, each carried food to the school grounds, sat down in a big wine tent, and asked Zhuang Ding to go around to find Mr. Na and Uncle Yue.When Zhuang Ding saw the horse, he recognized it as Zhou Tong's. Looking inside, he saw his father and son sitting together, so he hurried back to the wine tent and reported it to the outsiders.The three members hurriedly asked the children to come to the tea tent with Zhuang Ding. When they saw the gentleman, they said, "My fathers are all in the opposite tent. Please, sir and brother Yue, have wine and dinner there." Zhou Tong said: "You guys Pay more respects to your father, this is not a place for drinking. You go to cook by yourself, stop for a while, and when your name is called, the three of you go up and agree. If the county magistrate asks about your brother, you can report it later, and he will come later Come." Wang Gui then asked, "Why didn't you ask your brother to go up with us?" Zhou Tong said, "I don't know, but I didn't ask him to go with you, because your brother's bow is harder and doesn't look like a bow. Your means, so ask him to take another test." The three just agreed, bid farewell to Mr., and asked about the wine tent.After talking about this with all the members, all the members were very envious.

Not long after, those martial arts boys from various villages and towns came in droves.It's really "poor culture and rich martial arts", there are many rich men, all dressed very neatly, all of them are tall horses, with bright and gorgeous saddle armor.Everyone wanted to get it, so they went to Tokyo to get fame.Sure enough, there are huge crowds of people, and it is indescribably prosperous and rich.After a while, I saw Li Chun, the county lord, followed by a group of people, entered the school field and dismounted, and sat down in the martial arts hall.Served tea to eat. Seeing the excitement of those who went to the exam, the county magistrate secretly rejoiced: "I have selected a few good students today. When I get into Beijing, I will be honored."The county lord looked at it, called them one by one, compared arrows one by one, and then looked at the bow and horse.At this time, in front of the Martial Arts Hall, one could hear the arrows of Chi Chi, and the sound was endless.That Zhou Tong and Uncle Yue listened to the sound of arrows from the martial boys, Zhou Tong couldn't help but smile slightly.Yue Fei asked, "Why is it so funny, Daddy?" Zhou Tong said, "Did you hear that, my son? Those who compare arrows can only hear the sound of bows and arrows, but not the sound of drums. Isn't it funny?"

The Li County Lord saw that he had shot several cards, but few of them liked it.When I arrived at Qilin Village, I shouted: "Yue Fei!" After calling several times, no one answered.He also called: "Tang Huai!" Tang Huai responded, "Yes!" He also called Zhang Xian and Wang Gui, and they agreed.All three come up together.All the members watched with open eyes under the canopy, hoping that their sons would take it so that they could go to Beijing to take the exam.At that time, the county magistrate saw that the three martial boys were different from the others, and after the ceremony, the county magistrate asked: "There is another Yue Fei, why didn't he come?" Tang Huai said, "He will come later." The county magistrate said: "Let's test your bows and arrows first." Tang Huai said, "I beg the master to order you to place the arrow stack farther away." The county magistrate said, "It's already sixty steps away, so why go further?" Tang Huai said, "It's still farther away." The county lord then ordered: "Put at eighty steps." Zhang Xian came up again and said, "Please go further, sir." The county lord then ordered: "Put a hundred steps." Farther away." The county lord couldn't help laughing: "In that case, let's take a hundred and twenty steps!" The servant agreed, and went down to set up the arrow stack.

Tang Huai held the first handle, Zhang Xian held the second handle, and Wang Gui held the third handle.Look at him firing three bows and arrows, it's really amazing, everyone who watched them shouted in unison, even the county lord was dumbfounded.Why do you think?The arrows shot by those three people were the opposite of what they were before, and the arrows stacked up, and they did not miss out.But when he heard the beating of the drum, he didn't hear the sound of the bow and arrow. When the shooting was over, the drum sounded and he wished the three of them to come to the martial arts hall together.The county magistrate was overjoyed and asked, "Who taught you three bows and arrows?" Wang Gui said, "It's sir." The county magistrate said, "Who is sir?" Said: "Although your martial arts skills are high, you don't understand in your belly. Is that the master? What is your surname?" Tang Huai hurried forward and said, "My master is from Kansai, and his surname is Zhou and Dong." The county master said: "It turns out that the Lingye teacher is Mr. Zhou. He is a good friend of this county. He hasn't seen each other for a long time, but where is he now?" Tang Huai said, "Now in the tea tent below." Come to invite Zhou Tong to meet each other, and at the same time appoint a government official to watch everyone compare arrows.

Not long after, Zhou Tong brought Yue Fei to the Martial Arts Hall, Li Chun hurriedly went down the steps to greet him, and after seeing the ceremony, he sat down as guest and host.The county magistrate said: "Eldest brother has set up a tent in Changxian County, but why is he not cared for?" As a brother, if you walk around Xiandi Street, you will talk about favors and other things. If you listen to the sentiment, you will break the law of the country; if you don't listen, you will hurt the harmony, so it is better not to come." Forgive me." Zhou Tong said: "Don't come here for a long time, I don't know how many sons have been born?" The county master said: "The first family has passed away, leaving only a little girl, who is fifteen years old." Zhou Tong Said: "Since there is no son, it is time to remarry." The county lord said: "Because of some lowly ailments, the younger brother often complains, so he dare not marry again. I don't know how is the elder brother's sister-in-law?" Zhou Tong said: "Also It's been many years since I passed away." Li Chun said: "Have you ever had a son?" Zhou Tong waved his hand and called out, "My son, come and see your uncle."

Yue Fei stepped forward and saluted the county magistrate.Li Chun looked at it and said with a smile: "The eldest brother is here to tease the younger brother again. When did the eldest brother give birth to such a son?" Zhou Tong said: "I will tell you the truth, my daughter is my own son, but this son is the son of a foolish brother. His name is Yue Fei. Please look at his bow and arrow, my dear brother?" Li Chundao: "Your disciple is like this, your son must be good, why should you look at it?" Zhou Tong said: "My dear brother, this is to select talents for the country. What's more, we want to convince the public, how can we act hastily?" Li Chundao: "In that case, ask the servants to bring up some of the stacks." Yue Fei said: "Let's put down some more." The county owner said: "Just put down some .” Congren agreed.Yue Fei said again: "I need to shoot more." Li Chun said to Zhou Tong, "How many steps can you shoot?" step." Li Chun praised in his mouth, but he didn't believe it in his heart, so he ordered: "Arrange the stack of arrows for two hundred and forty steps!"

Everyone should know that Uncle Yue's supernatural power is the "God Arm Bow" taught by Mr. Zhou. It can open more than 300 catties and can shoot left and right. How does County Lord Li know?Watching Uncle Yue go down the steps, stand still, pick up the bow, put on the arrow, and shoot nine consecutive arrows.The drummer started hitting the first arrow until he hit the ninth arrow before stopping.All the people watching the test below shouted in unison, which stunned the martial arts boys from all towns and villages!Even the three members, together with Tang Huai, Zhang Xian and Wang Gui, watched it in the tea tent, and they all applauded.I saw the one with the arrow, connected with this piece of mud and nine arrows, holding them up and saying: "This gentleman, what a surprise! Nine arrows shot out from one hole, and the arrows piled up on the bucket." Li Chun Daxie said: "How old is your son? Has he ever been married?" Zhou Tong said: "Twenty-eight years have been wasted, and we have not yet engaged." Li Chundao: "If the eldest brother doesn't dislike it, he would like to betroth the younger daughter to his son. I don't know how to respect it?" It's a deal, I will send my little girl Gengtie tomorrow." Zhou Tong thanked him, and called Yue Fei, "Come over and thank your father-in-law." Yue Fei immediately came up to thank him.Zhou Tong was secretly happy, and then said goodbye, got up and said: "I'll come to worship another day." Li Chun said, "Don't dare, let my younger brother come and tell you." Zhou Tong replied, "I will teach you." Then he said goodbye to Li Chun , Come down to the Martial Arts Hall with Yue Fei.In the tent, together with all the members, father and son, they went out of the city and returned to the village together. Let's say that Lizhi County has finished his official business and returned to Yazhong.On the next day, I wrote Miss Geng's post and sent a scribe to send it to Zhou Tong's hall.The scribe took orders, came to Qilin Village, and asked Wangjiazhuang.Zhuang Ding came in to report to Zhou Tong, who hurriedly called to come in.The scribe entered the study, met Zhou Tong, sat down with respect, and said, "By order of the master of the family, I send Miss Geng's invitation here, please accept it." Zhou Tong was overjoyed, and handed it to Yue Fei, saying: " You can take Miss Li's geng invitation back and put it in the family hall." Yue Fei agreed, took it with both hands, and went home to tell his mother about it.The people of Yue'an were overjoyed, paid homage to their ancestors, and then watched Miss Nian Geng.Strange to say, but being born at the same time on the same day and the same year as Uncle Yue, isn't it "marriage convergence"!No problem. Here Zhou Tong sealed a gift and gave it to the clerk, saying: "Brother, thank you, come from afar, there is nothing to respect, some rice substitutes, don't think it's an obscenity!" The scribe said: "Don't dare!" Received the gift , Thank you and say goodbye to go back, don't mention it. Besides, when Uncle Yue returned to the hall, Zhou Tong ordered: "Come with me to the county early tomorrow to thank my father-in-law." Uncle Yue replied, "I know!" After leaving the village gate, walk into the city, come to the county gate, and put two thank you notes on the gate of the house.Li Chun immediately opened the door of the house and came out to meet the inner office. After saluting, Yue Fei thanked him for his kindness, and Li Chun returned a half salute to sit down and talk.Don't stop, set up a banquet, the three of them sit and drink for a while, and then move the next banquet out.When Zhou Tong saw it, he said, "My master and apprentice came here on foot. I didn't bring my family with me, so I don't spend my experience." Li Chundao: "In this case, the virtuous son-in-law is here, and there is nothing to give. The younger brother still has dozens of horses. The horses have not been sold out yet, so how about giving your son a horse?" Zhou Tong said: "I'm learning martial arts, and I'm missing a ride. If I receive a generous gift, it's wonderful. I've had too much wine, so I'd like to go and see the horses together, and drink again. Let it go!" Li Chun said, "I make it." The three of them got up, went to the stable behind together, and ordered the groom: "Take the pole and serve to pick the horse." The groom agreed.Zhou Tong quietly said to Yue Fei: "You can use your eyesight and carefully pick out that this is a gift from your father-in-law. It is inconvenient to return or exchange." Yue Fei said: "I know!" He went down and took a closer look.He loves white horses the most in his heart.There are those with a better color, and when you press your hand, your feet will go down.It is common to pick several horses in succession, and there is no favorite one.Li Chundao: "Aren't these horses useless?" Uncle Yue replied: "These horses are not useless, so the son-in-law of the rich family wears a gorgeous saddle and bridle, and travels in the spring. Those horses that can compete well, win battles, do business for the country, and earn fame for themselves are good." Li Xianzhu shook his head and said: "I have sold these dozens of horses leftover, and they are only a few dozen horses. Send a horse to travel with your virtuous son-in-law. Is there such a good horse?" While he was talking, he suddenly heard the neighing of the horse next door.Uncle Yue said: "This sound is a good horse! I don't know where it is?" Zhou Tong said: "My son heard the sound but didn't see the horse, so how do you know it's a good horse?" Yue Fei said: "Don't you, Daddy?" Hearing that this horse has a loud voice, it must be powerful, so I say it is good." Li Chundao: "The son-in-law is really good. This horse was bought by my family Zhou Tianlu in Beidi, and it has been more than a year now. It is indeed very powerful. Seeing people kicking and biting, no one can stop him, so he was sold and returned, five or six times in a row, and he had to be locked in the next wall." Uncle Yue said, "Why don't you go and have a look with your son-in-law?" Li Chundao: "I'm afraid that the son-in-law will not be able to surrender! If he can survive, he will be a gift in the future." He asked the groom to open the door, and the groom shouted: "Uncle Yue! You need to be careful, but this horse is going to hurt people." Uncle Yue took a picture of the horse, then took off the sea green on his body, and came forward.Seeing someone coming, the horse raised its hoof and kicked wildly without waiting for Uncle Yue to get close.Only then did Uncle Yue dodge his body, and the horse turned back and bit its head.Uncle Yue looked back again, took advantage of the situation and grabbed the mane, raised his palm and hit him. After a few blows, the horse didn't dare to move.exactly: Hualiu meets Bole, gallops meets Wang Liang. I don't know what will happen next, let's listen to the next chapter.
