Super System in Chutang

() In summer, the sky is gray and hazy, as if it is pressing on people's hearts. The sun is gone, but it is getting hotter and hotter! Countless insects on the surrounding trees and grass are screaming, "It's so hot, it's so hot!"

Although Li Xingzhi had long been protected from the cold and heat, his heart felt uncomfortable in this gray and sultry weather. He was lying on a wicker chair in the waterside pavilion, unable to sleep with his eyes open and closed. Next to him was a little slave with a face.

My face was sweating, and I was fanning myself now and then. I was really listless!

At this moment, a slave ran over, panting, and shouted: "Alang, Erlang is back!"

Li Xingzhi's slightly narrowed eyes slowly opened, he yawned, stretched again, and then said: "What is 'Erlang is back'?"

"It's Alang's adopted brother, the second son of the Wang family, who is back!" At this time, the shouting slave had already come closer and lowered his head and said.

Li Xingzhi was suddenly startled and stood up suddenly!

"What? Erlang is back?" he asked strangely...

He couldn't help but be surprised! At this time, the border wars were intense. First the Tibetans, then the Tuyuhun, and then the Turks invaded the border areas. Now in the thirteenth year of Zhenguan, they want to take out their anger on the disobedient "Gaochang" again. Wang

As a young pioneer, how could Erlang come back?

"Yes, Erlang is back." Although the servant was panting, Li Xingzhi was a little surprised when he said it again with an unbelievable look.

When Li Xingzhi heard this, he felt strange, thinking that there might be some other reason. He ignored the servant standing respectfully in front of him and strode straight to the vestibule. The servant behind looked at Li Xingzhi getting up and said,

He followed Li Xingzhi step by step. Seeing that the distance between him and Li Xingzhi was getting farther and farther, he simply started running.

Li Xingzhi was walking to the vestibule. He saw a tall young man walking in, followed by a servant, leading a tall horse that was panting heavily and sweating blackly.

The young man heard the footsteps and turned around to see Li Xingzhi walking into the courtyard.

"Brother!" The young man's voice sounded low, with a hint of wind and frost, and he was completely different from the young boy who followed Li Xingzhi back then.

"You're back? It's good to be back!" Li Xingzhi saw that Wang Erlang was still waiting to say something, so he stopped him with something to say and asked the surrounding servants to take Erlang to wash up and rest.

Wang Erlang rested for a while, had dinner, and then followed Li Xingzhi to the backyard.

The two of them were sitting on a stone bench in the backyard. Li Xingzhi didn't speak, just drank sake and let the warm wind blow. Next to him, Wang Erlang felt refreshed, sitting upright with his head raised, his long eyebrows slightly wrinkled, as if he was unhappy! The words came to his lips.

, swallowed it again, hesitantly.

"Let's talk if you have anything to say! Why do you and I, brothers, need such a mother-in-law and a mother-in-law?!" Li Xingzhi looked at Wang Erlang's appearance, put down the thin wine glass in his hand, and said.

"Brother, do you still remember the daughter of Magistrate Cui's family in Tanzhou?"

"What about the little lady of the Cui family?" Li Xingzhi looked at Wang Erlang with a strange expression on his face, "I remember her little appearance back then. She was so cute. But I don't know what she looks like now. What's the matter?

Did you already miss him at that time?" Li Xingzhi teased.

It was just a few encounters. After a long time, Li Xingzhi didn't think there would be any relationship between the two of them.

"I met her once that night before I went to the army, and we exchanged many letters with her afterwards..."

"..." Li Xingzhi looked at Wang Erlang blankly, as if he were looking at a monster. Although Wang Erlang was an old master studying etiquette and meaning like an old master, he never expected that he would do such a thing! The male was unmarried,

The girl is unmarried, and there is no matchmaker for marriage, so the story of a wild goose passing a letter is actually a bit "appalling" even in this open dynasty!

Li Xingzhi used to wonder why Wang Erlang, who never liked playing with birds, suddenly asked him for the training falcon. The reason was here.

"Then what?"

Wang Erlang didn't seem to notice Li Xingzhi's weird expression, his brows furrowed even more, and he continued: "I received a letter from her in the army a few days ago, saying that her father had arranged a marriage for her with that Zheng family member...

…”

"A marriage has been arranged?" Li Xingzhi patted his head and said, "Why didn't you tell me earlier? I'll just go and propose marriage to you! It's just that you have fallen in love with a princess who is dear to you, as long as it's a mutual love.

Yue Le, I can also think of a way to get it for you, your brother."

Wang Erlang heard Li Xingzhi's words and Nuonuo remained silent. Although he had charged on the battlefield and killed the enemy soldiers to the point of fear, when he got home, he was still used to obeying his elder brother Li Xingzhi.

"Then you ran back from the army? Did you become a deserter?" Li Xingzhi looked at his brother who was so passionate and reckless, and he felt helpless in his heart. According to his way of doing things, something would happen even if it was nothing. If it hadn't been for him

This brother still has some abilities, maybe there is another "Peach Blossom Fan" that is just waiting to be sung by future generations!

Wang Erlang thought that Li Xingzhi blamed him for being a "deserter", so he dared not speak even more. After a long time, he said: "I asked my brothers in the army and Brother Xue to cover up with me. I should be fine for more than a month."

"I don't care about other things. Let me ask you, what did the young lady of the Cui family say?"

"She only said that 'there is no destiny', 'the orders of parents and the words of matchmakers cannot be violated'..."

Li Xingzhi saw Wang Erlang's face getting darker and darker, and couldn't help but interrupt: "Then why are you running back?"

Wang Erlang's face showed some sorrow and struggle, which made Li Xingzhi couldn't bear to see it, but he had to harden his heart and said: "You better think it over clearly. If you are going to do that 'wisdom sword cuts the thread of love', then go back directly

Go to the army! Maybe one day you will become famous and her husband

My husband is dead again, and there is still a chance to 'kiss her'. If you are determined to stir things up for a while, your brother, I can help you think of a way, even if you go to Cui's house and snatch him away, it's not a big deal!" Li Xingzhi said!

Then he got up and walked away without looking at Wang Erlang who was struggling.

Li Xingzhi hoped that Wang Erlang would make a break. However, even if Wang Erlang gave up on his own, he would not be able to let his appointed younger siblings fall into another family.

He sat in the room and thought for a while, but he couldn't think of any good way to handle this matter. The only way he could think of was to go directly into Cui's house and rob people. However, although this method was the simplest and easiest to do, it was also.

It was too rough, and Li Xingzhi would not do it unless it was absolutely necessary.

Li Xingzhi thought for a while, then suddenly slapped his head and said to the servant standing outside: "Go and invite Uncle Zhang!" The old man of the Zhang family was the former steward of his Li Mansion and his grandfather's right-hand man.

Whenever I encounter difficulties, I just happen to think of the elderly. As people get older, they have experienced more things and have more ways to deal with them. Otherwise, how can we say that having an old person in the family is like having a treasure?

Soon, an energetic old man walked in with bright steps.

When the old man heard Li Xingzhi's words, he was shocked and frowned!

"Is there any way to do this?"

The old man glanced at Li Xingzhi in embarrassment. He said with a grimace, "Alang is embarrassing me! This matter is not a matter of whether there is a way, but that it cannot be done!"

The old man glanced at Li Xing and saw that he didn't give up, so he said: "There are three surnames and five families in the world, and they are intertwined with each other. Several families are working hard, and even if the saints today see him, they will give in three points! This Zheng

The Cui family is among them. And the marriage between several families is the key to maintaining their relationship! To put it bluntly, what Alang wants to do is something that a saint wants to do but cannot do!"

"Uncle, he only thinks that I am a fool. I know about the three surnames and the five families. However, I may not be able to do what Li Shimin can't do! Don't worry, uncle! Even if something big happens, I will have it already."

Make arrangements for a fallback!"

The old man took a deep look at Li Xingzhi, who was a little confused by the man in front of him. However, the fact that he had built a business that was far better than what the Li family had managed for several generations was enough to make him trust him. But he didn't know that Li Xingzhi

Why do you have so much confidence?

"Since Alang has made a decision, let me tell you something." The old man said, "Blocking roads and snatching relatives and husbands has been a practice since ancient times. In our Tang Dynasty, Hu Feng came from the west and became more powerful again. Although most of them were

On the way to the wedding, use this to add fun. If you really want to block the road and snatch her, it will be a bad marriage, and your appearance will not look good! But if Alang insists on doing this, he only needs to find an excuse, and he may not be able to do it if he blocks the bride on the way!"

Then, the old man explained clearly what needed to be paid attention to, and Li Xingzhi nodded repeatedly. Although this method of snatching a bride is a bit sinister and immoral, it is not bad in terms of etiquette if it is really done! It must be done by Cui Xingzhi.

The Zheng family must suffer the consequences of being dumb! As for the secret revenge, that is another story.

On the second day, Erlang, with red eyes, came to see him early in the morning. Although he was tired, he was in high spirits and no longer as depressed as the previous day!

"Do you understand?"

"I figured it out! Sometimes in life, you have to have it. If it doesn't exist, I will force myself to do it this time! Please help me, brother!"

…

June 29 is the day to get married.

Before dawn, there were already many warblers in front of the gate of a high-rise house in Chang'an. I saw several big green horses with colorful collars on their necks, pulling several colorful carts out of the gate. Several carts were surrounded by a crowd of people.

There was a large sedan for eight people! There were a group of people surrounding the sedan, carriages and horses.

The car circled Chang'an for half a week before heading towards Cui Mansion.

Although there was no talk of welcoming the bride in Sina at this time, there were also relatives and friends of the same generation greeting the bride. When they arrived at Cui's house, they saw the door was slightly closed, and a child came out from the crack in the door, making things difficult for them. Several scholar-looking Zheng family members

It’s about talking about poetry and reciting lyrics, famous quotes and etiquette

After talking for a while, the door opened with a creak, and a bride wearing a "Huachai Qingjian Shang, Qingyi, leather belt and socks" came out. At this time, the bride wore a colorful tiara.

Without knowing his face, he was carried by a young girl and put into a sedan chair.

Eight people carried the sedan chair, and surrounded by people, they set off and walked back along the road. The car went around and around, and suddenly three or five people rushed out from the roadside and surrounded them. Most of them were girls and boys, and there were seven or eight children.

Singing and dancing, reaching out for food and drink. But I heard someone read:

"My son is great! I am a young man from Zhuzhou, traveling in a foreign country. I describe him as a handsome and charming man. I have pearls and jade in my mouth, and I wear a belt to dress up. So when I come to a car, I need to get cattle and sheep! My wife Ban Chan dredges her hair, and the golden strands are extended.

.Lingyi Shude, Jade Xiulanfang. Xuan Mian will not spare Yishui, official marriage will not be Jinyang. The two families are well together, and will last for thousands of years..."

Someone hurriedly walked to the sedan chair, exuding a slight fruity smell of cakes. Seeing the car wreck, the people did not leave, and said calmly:

"The way to block a carriage is to find your own method first. You must have a corner of a unicorn, a three-legged phoenix. The smell of wine in Liaodong, the wild sheep of the west. It is planned to be Guixi, the ginger of Qin. If one is missing, it will not be the same!"

The people in the barrier car said another word: "We are here in the barrier car, and we have been following the ancient methods. Since you have no sheep and wine, why bother to sit down? If you ask the east, you will definitely answer the west. When you go to the south, you will know the north. You still know the north.

Don’t follow the right times, don’t count too many and choke them!”

After going back and forth with questions and answers, they got into a lot of trouble. After they were given some cloth, wine and meat, everyone retreated.

The car-wrecking incident evolved from the custom of bride-robbing. But even in the Tang Dynasty, if a small family really encountered robbers and scoundrels, they would not let them pass. If they really raped the bride, there was really no way.

Reasonable! However, obviously, as a wealthy family, the Cui and Zheng families did not realize that such an unfortunate thing would happen to them, and they would not let it happen.

The wedding car met several people who blocked the road, but they all said kind words and got out of the way.

At this time, the sun was almost submerging into the horizon. The sky was dim. At this time, the people in the streets and alleys were gradually sparse. Seeing that they were almost arriving at the Zheng Mansion, everyone was already thirsty and exhausted.

At this moment, a group of people and horses suddenly appeared on the road. Most of them were young and strong, and there were also women. They all crowded in front of the car, chanting auspicious words and inscriptions on how to block the car.

When the people on the carriage saw that their house was approaching, they didn't want to delay any more. They immediately poured out a lot of beef, sheep, wine, meat, cloth and silk.

Everyone was given cloth, wine and meat, but they refused to get out of the way. The people in the car were worried and said: "Today's sanctification is to nourish the common people. Where are the young people who are doing arrogant things! If you rush to avoid the road, let me drive!"

The crowd still refused to give way, and said: "I am the descendant of the three ministers. I am the king of Taiyuan, Guo, Cui and Chen of Zhengzhou. Pei and Liu of Hedong. Niu and Sheep of Longxi. Zhang and Li of Nanyang. I have accumulated loyal ministers for generations.

Chen Jun’s chariot and horse are not mortals!”

The people on the carriage heard the others boasting so much and had no choice but to drink and eat again when they suddenly felt a strong wind behind their heads and felt bad. Just as they were about to get away, they suddenly felt a pain in the back of their heads and fell into a deep coma.

At this moment, four strong and powerful men ran out from nowhere. Regardless of the unconscious people greeting the bride, they caught the sedan chair and ran away with the wind blowing under their feet! Suddenly, they disappeared...

At this time, Li Mansion in the east of Chang'an was extremely lively! There were all people coming and going!

However, these guests all felt that today's events were a bit inexplicable. They suddenly received an invitation today, saying that it was the wedding of the sworn brother of the eldest son of the Li family. They invited people to congratulate them. Before this, no one had heard any news or seen anything.

There are three aunts and six wives, and there are no betrothal gifts. Even now, when the sun has set, the bride still doesn’t know where she is! What’s even weirder is that no one knows which family the bride belongs to!

Of course, these are not important. What is important is that the Li family is going to have a banquet! As the Li family has become famous in recent years, all the merchants and businessmen who can come are here.

What a congratulatory gift! Even if you can’t establish some relationship with the Li family, it’s still a good thing to maintain a friendly relationship!

It's not that Li Xingzhi deliberately wanted to hold a grand wedding banquet, but the marriage between Wang Erlang and the Cui family's young lady cannot be hidden from anyone. When the time comes, he will still have to face the pressure from the Cui and Zheng families and even the major aristocratic families. It is better to have a grand wedding banquet.

Fang did not lose his momentum. Furthermore, Erlang did not want to feel wronged.

At this time, the Zheng family was not aware of the surprise that happened in the alleyway block, but they were still rejoicing, and the bells and drums were ringing! Although this aristocratic family is a branch, it is far from comparable to the Li family who is doing business! Just look at the guests and you will know that Li

The people in my family are just idle businessmen.

Those who came to the gate of the Zheng family were all princes and nobles! Those who could come, such as Cheng Guogong, the eldest grandson family, the Qin family and even the royal family, all came. For those who could not come, they all prepared a thin or thick gift for them.

Come, let the concierge who announced the number scream until his mouth goes dry!

As a high-ranking nobleman with three surnames and five families, he and the Li family to the east are completely different from each other. If there is no accident, it is almost impossible to have any communication. The Zheng family does not know that there is another family in the east.

Doing the same happy event.

But it was said that the Cui family sent the Cui family's wife to the sedan chair, and the three aunts and five wives were following behind in a cart drawn by green horses, and they also came to help. Suddenly, they saw several people carrying the sedan chair and several people beside them.

He was knocked unconscious in an instant. The four people lifted the sedan chair, and the wind blew under their feet.

Suddenly, they were so frightened that they opened their mouths wide and didn't know what to shout. After a long time, their faces turned pale with shock and they were breathing heavily. The horse that sat down and pulled the carriage seemed to be frightened, and it pulled the carriage and roared in place.

They were spinning around wildly, and for a moment, they were on their backs. It was so embarrassing!

On the other side, the two elders of the Cui family, the parents of the wife of the Cui family, who were the county magistrates of Cui at that time, sent someone to drive a carriage. They did not join in the fun at the sedan chair and took a small road straight to the Zheng family.

Suddenly, the coachman's vision went dark, and he fell to the ground. The people escorting him disappeared silently at an unknown time. No one knew that the driver had changed.

indivual.

The carriage circled around and headed in another direction.

At this time, after a whole day of tossing, the two elders of the Cui family were lying in the carriage in a daze. How could they know what was going on outside?

The car drove for a long time. At this time, the Cui family's parents in the car also felt that something was wrong. When they were about to ask, the car had stopped. The small door of the car was opened, revealing a big man with a red and black face.

"My father-in-law Cui, please come! My Alang has been waiting for you for a long time! I would like to express my congratulations to my elder brother in advance!"

The Cui family's parents were shocked when they saw a stranger appeared in front of them, and their groom had no idea where he was! Cui Zhiwen was a member of the officialdom after all, and his qi-raising skills were extraordinary. After being shocked, his face had returned to calmness, and he was frightened.

He said: "Who are you? Do you know what is the crime of kidnapping an official of the imperial court? Send us back quickly and we will not be held accountable today!"

"Mr. Sir, you are overly worried! We specially drove the two of you here to invite them here. How can we talk about kidnapping you?"

Cui Zhiwen heard this and knew that the people in front of him had come prepared. He did not say any threatening words and only said: "Since we have invited our couple here, we don't know who the host is?" (To be continued.)
