Lanke Chess Edge

Now Ji Yuan has a little more luggage than before. A gray cloth bag contains an extra copy of the peerless martial arts cheats that can make people in the Jianghu fight for blood. An oiled paper umbrella is still under his arm, and a Qingtengjian sacrificed a piece of inner clothing in the bag, and wrapped it with the cloth strips of the green clothes, wrapped it on the back, and the heavy nanmu box the size of a shoe box was inconvenient to put in the bag, so he could only carry it in his hand.

Although Ji Yuan was on the road before, he stopped and stopped, after all, he was still thinking about Zuo Daxia's legacy, so the part of the journey was more important. Now that he got the secret book sword, Ji Yuan relaxed a lot, very kind When I was in elementary school, I finally rushed to finish all the summer homework at the end of the summer vacation.

Judging from the sword intent post, Zuo Li's ancestral home was Juntianfu, Yizhou, and he grew up in Juntianfu city since he was a child.

As the saying goes, poor culture and rich martial arts can allow Zuo Li to freely contact martial arts and make him achieve extraordinary achievements. Apart from Zuo Li himself being a genius, the Zuo family must also be a big family.

To take a step back, the Zuo Kuangzi should still be well-known in Juntian Mansion, but they don't know how the Zuo family is doing now. After Zuo Li lived in seclusion and died, he should be annoyed by quacks for a while.

Walking along the official road, Ji Yuan's footsteps have always maintained a state of seemingly slow walking but actually has a huge span. The feet are not high from the ground. It is even more necessary to understand the meaning of swimming the dragon. This contradiction of seemingly slow stepping but actually moving forward quickly may give rise to an illusion of shrinking into an inch if there are bystanders.

After walking for a whole night and more than half a day, seeing the morning glow and bathing in the scorching sun in the afternoon, Autou Mountain has already been left far behind by Ji Yuan.

After walking for so long, I finally heard the sound of pedestrians in the distance ahead, it should be another group of passers-by.

Ji Yuan heaved a sigh of relief, the area near the official road should be approaching densely populated places again, so he slowed down and chased at a slightly faster speed than ordinary people.

A little far ahead, four people were walking and chatting. According to them, they should be villagers from a nearby village, and they seemed to be going to a wedding banquet.

"I heard that two sheep and a pig were killed in the village for this time. The meat must be enough!"

"Don't say it, don't say it, it makes me drool!"

Listening to the words of the predecessors, someone beside him swallowed his saliva, and only such a big banquet like a wedding banquet can eat and drink freely.

"That boy Zhao Dongmu is also lucky. He married Xiao Lian from the neighboring village, so he would be a man to do farm work!"

"Yeah, how many people said that the matchmaker didn't make it, it's cheaper for him!"

Others echoed for a while.

"Hurry up, hurry up, the sun is already setting, we have to go back quickly, otherwise old Uncle Zhao will be in a hurry!"

"Well, I'm going to start eating in a while, Uncle Zhao will definitely blame us for not having enough wine!"

"Hey, don't worry, we can catch up, and the four of us can get a lottery red envelope in a while."

"Hahaha, I just want to eat, and Uncle Zhao is only two big boys!"

"Hahahaha, yes!"

 …

The four of them chatted while walking, and from the strength of their panting and the heaviness of their steps, they should be carrying heavy objects.

When Ji Yuan got closer, he vaguely saw that there should be a group of two people carrying a jar. From the previous conversation, he speculated that it should be wine in the jar.

Wedding banquet, do you want to have a meal? Anyway, it's not like I don't give red envelopes!

Thinking of this, Ji Yuan quickened his pace and took the lead in shouting forward.

"The little brothers in front~~~ let's go slowly~~!"

The four people carrying the wine at the front heard the yelling from far behind, they all subconsciously slowed down and looked back, and saw a man who looked like Mr. Sven in a wide-sleeved long robe catching up behind the official road, with an umbrella in one hand Holding a wooden box in one hand.

Ji Yuan seemed to be out of breath, with some sweat on his face.

"You guys, I've been on the road for a long time. I can't go to the village or go to the store, but I can see people in a hurry. It will be dark in two hours, and I'm in a panic on the road!"

"Uh, Mr. Big, where are you calling from?"

Several people just slowed down their pace so that Ji Yuan could keep up, but they didn't stop.

"I'm coming from the direction of Yongtai County, and I'm going to Juntianfu."

"Hey! The way to come here and the place to go are quite far away, Mr. Da, you are quite courageous!"

Ji Yuan just smiled.

"Yeah, are you guys from the nearby village? Can you let me go and ask for a drink and stay overnight, er, I won't live in vain!"

Speaking of this, several young villagers naturally invited Ji Yuan to Zhaojiazhuang.

"Mr. Big, if you don't mind, come with us to Zhaojiazhuang. There is a wedding banquet in the village. You look like a scholar. Uncle Zhao will definitely ask you to go to the banquet together."

"Yes, Mr. Da, but you have to keep up. We are hurrying back. Uncle Zhao's house doesn't have enough wine. We are waiting for these two jars."

"Okay, okay, I'm still confident in my footsteps, the brothers just keep walking, and I won't lose track of you!"

Ji Yuan smiled and walked a few steps faster, getting closer to a few people, looking forward to whether there are any special dishes in the countryside here, and by the way, chatting with a few young people to get close.

"Why don't you guys drive an ox cart or something, don't you feel tired doing so?"

"Hey, the wine we bought from the town on the other side of Helmao Mountain on the mountain climbing road, the bullock cart is not convenient to go, it's better to carry it faster!"

"Yo, that's a long way, isn't it?"

"That's right, it's been a long time!"

Several young people are also talkative masters. After confirming that Ji Yuan is a knowledgeable gentleman who can read and write and has actually been to a place as far away as Jizhou, they are even more happy, and bluntly said that Uncle Zhao will definitely treat him to a wedding.

Talking while walking like this, coupled with Ji Yuan's eloquence, he became acquainted with the four of them a lot as soon as he came out.

The barrenness along the way is decreasing, and more and more irrigation canals are becoming denser.

After going down the official road from a small road and walking for more than a quarter of an hour, the outline of Zhaojiazhuang could already be seen ahead. A middle-aged man was looking towards the road. When he saw the four people coming back, he hurried up.

"Hey, why did you come back, the banquet will start any later!"

Then the man suddenly discovered the existence of Ji Yuan, and asked in surprise, "Who is this?"

Ji Yuan naturally handed over quickly.

"I'm planning fate, I'm a passerby in transit, it's getting late and I want to come here to ask for a drink and take a night!"

"Second Uncle, this Mr. Ji is a learned man, he is from Jizhou!"

A young man hastened to remind one, and looking at Ji Yuan's elegant but dusty attire, he believed it a little bit, even if it wasn't true, Zhuangshang's big day today would not drive people away.

"Oh...Mr. came from such a long way. Today is a happy day. I must come to the village to have a wedding wine and walk around..."

The man also bowed to Ji Yuan and stretched out his hand to invite him.

"Excuse me, excuse me!"

The six people were polite to each other and walked towards the villa. It was very lively inside. The bride and groom had already paid their respects at the auspicious time.

There are more than 20 tables inside and outside the walls of a courtyard. There are round tables and square tables. There are red decorations everywhere, and the Chinese character "囍" is everywhere. People were busy washing vegetables, stewing and cooking there, and the atmosphere was extremely warm.

"A guest~~~"

The yelling inside was extremely loud, and not long after, the identity of Mr. Ji Yuan, Mr. Yuan Ke, was also known by the festive protagonist inside, and he came to greet him specially, and let Ji Yuan sit at the table with peace of mind.

Although the sky is still bright, there are no light bulbs in this era, and the banquet will definitely be held before dark in the open air.

Before the dinner party started, Ji was sitting at a table on the edge. Although most of them were villagers he didn't know, there was a young man who had just returned from carrying the wine sitting next to him, talking to Ji Yuan and asking questions. Focusing on the things in Jizhou, I am full of longing for the world outside the village.

Just as he was talking, there was a burst of laughter from the other side of the main room, and Ji Yuan heard someone shouting: "Wrong spelling, wrong spelling, why are there two more characters on the left than on the right?"

There are also voices like "confused, confused...".

"Didn't there be a Mr. Da from a foreign country just now? Can he write? Let him write one?"

"Yes, yes, Mr. Da looks like the teacher in the county, he must be very knowledgeable!"

"Uncle Zhao, go and invite that gentleman!"

It is a folk custom here to write wedding couplets before the dinner party. If it is not really unconditional, people with some reputation will not be spared in getting married.

There was a booing sound from over there, and several middle-aged and old man Ji Yuan came here, with an embarrassed smile on his face, before he could speak, Ji Yuan stood up with a smile.

"But you want to write a wedding couplet? Let Ji write a couplet as a thank you for Mr. Zhao's wedding reception."

"Thank you so much sir!"

"Let's go, let's see Mr. Da write Xilian!"

"I'll go take a look too!"

The only one who can read in Zhaojiazhuang is the old village chief. He used to ask the village chief to write something on any important matter. Although he didn't have much ink in his belly, he could at least write clearly. Now he is getting older and blurred.

Ji Yuan was also infected by the simplicity and enthusiasm of the villagers, and seemed to be in high spirits.

Walking to the table of the Eight Immortals in the main room, I saw a few strips of red paper, two of which had well-regulated characters written on them, on the left was "a lot of weddings and happy events", on the right was "a fat boy was born early", and the "little" The characters may have fewer strokes, and they are much smaller than other characters, which also attracts Ji Yuan to smile.

"Mr. Big, pen!"

Ji Yuan saw that the bridegroom, who was dressed vigorously and tied with red cloth flowers, handed over the pen in person. Looking at his appearance, it was the moment when the joy was rising.

"The bridegroom is looking forward to it!"

Ji Yuan holds a pen in his right hand, pulls his sleeve with his left hand, and writes a happy couplet on two flattened red paper strips.

"Hundred years of love and double hearts knot."

"A marriage of thousands of miles is linked by a thread."

Afterwards, another piece of red paper was placed horizontally, and the four characters "Newly Married Great Happiness" were written down again.

The pen runs through the back of the paper, and there is a spirit of beauty hidden from the eyes of ordinary people.

While writing, the old village head next to him read it aloud. Even though most of the people were illiterate, they could tell that the old man's handwriting was very beautiful, and it was definitely a good handwriting.

The children on the side clapped their hands again and again, and the adults on the side also applauded.

The old man Zhao insisted on dragging Ji Yuan to the chairman. Under the urging of others, the dinner was finally about to start, and all the helpers began to serve food outside.

"Let's have a banquet~~~"

The best man rang loudly, and in the glowing red sunset, the wedding banquet officially began.

Ji Yuan's eyes widened for a moment, and he looked around the banquet with a smile on his face, bursts of "joy" rising, especially after posting the wedding couplets.

With a twitch in his heart, he clings to the piece in his sleeve, and the trace of joy that was about to dissipate and overflow gathers again and moves towards the chess piece.

"Good, good, happy!"

The ivy sword that is always carried on the back and wrapped in cloth is also flowing with aura.
