Great Warriors of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 188 Luo Shixin VS Duan Zhixuan

Qin Qiong stayed in Nanshan Village for a day and then returned to Licheng. Because the Chinese New Year was coming soon, Luo Cheng only sent him to the entrance of the village, but he made an appointment with Qin Qiong to accompany his mother to Qin's house to visit relatives after the Chinese New Year.

When Qin Qiong came home, Qin's mother was still depressed and didn't talk to him.

"Mother, if you really like the young lady of the Zhang family, then according to your wishes, please ask the matchmaker to propose marriage." Qin Qiong said.

Qin's mother was overjoyed all of a sudden, "I figured it out after going to Zhangqiu, have you met the young lady of the Zhang family?"

"No, I went to Aunt Zhangqiu's house."

"It must be your cousin Luo Cheng who persuaded you. It seems that what Zhang Juncheng said that day is correct. You and Luo Cheng are more compatible. This Xiao Wu is younger than you, but his mouth is stronger than yours. There are too many." Qin's mother said happily, "The young lady of the Zhang family is good both in terms of family background and character, and even Zhang Juncheng has said a lot of good things for her, so she can't be wrong."

She happily greeted the butler and asked him to invite a matchmaker.

·······
Just after the new year, the Luo family has many happy events.

First of all, the eldest son Cunxiao and Liu Sanniang had chosen a good date for their marriage, which was set on the sixth day of the first lunar month.Before the New Year, the ceremonies of Nacai, Wenming, Najib, Nazheng, and Date Request had already been completed, and the gifts had already been delivered.

The sixth day of the first lunar month is an auspicious day for Luo Mu to find a candidate.

The day of the personal welcome has not yet arrived, and there is another happy event at home.

The sister-in-law felt nauseous when she ate in the morning, but the experienced mother Luo immediately saw that she was probably pregnant, and quickly asked the elder brother to invite the doctor to take the pulse.

Sure enough, it was a happy pulse.

The whole family was very happy, especially Luo's mother. The two sons in the family are married, and the eldest has been married for more than two years, but there is no movement in the eldest daughter-in-law's belly.However, the second child has been married for a year, and the second daughter-in-law has also remained silent, which makes her very anxious.

There were even some rumors in the village.

Now that the eldest daughter-in-law is pregnant, she can finally hold her grandson.

Fifth grade.

Butcher Liu's family sent someone to deliver the dowry and the daughter-in-law to make the bed.

This is the current custom. The dowry will be sent to the husband's house one or two days before the wedding, and the sister-in-law of the mother's family will come to make the bed.

The Liu family's dowry was very rich, and it was a capital investment.

After all, the son-in-law is the judiciary assistant of the county government, and he still has a nine-rank Sanjie. It is the honor of their old Liu family for their daughter to marry such a son-in-law, but it cannot be looked down upon by the husband's family.

There are hundreds of people in the dowry sending team, and there are loads of dowry pickers.

From all kinds of furniture to all kinds of living utensils, even clothes, shoes, socks, bedding, washbasins, footbaths, towels, basically all the necessities for married life are included, and they even accompany ten acres of land, plus a horse.

I even invited the most famous drummer band from ten miles and eight townships to play and beat all the way, which was very lively.

"Butcher Liu is really willing to give away ten acres of land."

"It's really generous."

At the gate of Nanshan Village, everyone watched and discussed.

"Then don't you look at what kind of family you are marrying. Will your daughter lose money if she marries Shiro? The present gifts will pay back sooner or later."

"No, if it wasn't for the Luo family, how could Butcher Liu open a restaurant in the county town and make a lot of money a year."

"That is, the last time I sold beef privately, it was all thanks to Goro's help."

"Yes, I heard that now Liu Tu has opened up the yamen through Wulang's relationship, and now he can make money by slaughtering cattle for the yamen openly and aboveboard."

The fourth child is dressed in bright red today, smiling and standing at the door with a plate of pastries, sending out to anyone he sees.

As a brother of the groom's family, Luo Cheng certainly couldn't be idle. He and Xiao Liu were responsible for entertaining the guests of the bride's family today.

When the same dowry is delivered, the natal family will specially shout and sing, so that people will know.

Although it is not as good as the married daughter of the noble family, who is married with a lot of red makeup, but in the countryside, the Liu family is really generous.

The Luo family invited the most famous cooks from ten miles and eight villages today, and set up an open-air banquet.

In Zhangqiu County, except for Zhang Yichen and Du Ruhui, the two upper officials who were unable to come in person, all the subordinate officials came.Even many powerful landlords came today uninvited, and came to congratulate and join them one after another.

Today, the Nanshan Luo family has become a powerful family that cannot be underestimated in Zhangqiu County.

"Congratulations, congratulations!"

Recorder Duan Yancheng smiled and cupped his hands, asking his followers to present him with congratulatory gifts.

Eight bolts of precious silk, extraordinary skill.

Luo Cheng thanked the fourth brother.

"Thank you Duan Lushi for coming, please rest while drinking tea."

"Xiao Liu, you take Duan Jishi and Duan Xiaolang over there."

Xiao Liu also dressed up today, followed by entertaining the guests, and when he heard the sound, he called the two of them to the courtyard.

When they arrived in the courtyard, Duan Yancheng went over to say hello to some acquaintances, while Duan Zhixuan looked at Luo Shixin, who was the same age as him.

Both of them are about the same age, they will both be 13 years old after the new year, but Luo Shixin is short, dark and thin.Duan Zhixuan was tall and tall, especially with a fair complexion.

Standing together, the two are very different.

"I heard that you are also learning from Ma Qian?" Duan Zhixuan asked.

Xiao Liu hummed.

"I advise you to stop learning as soon as possible, as you are short and thin, even Ma Qian is not fair."

He sneered and said, "Not everyone can learn this horse lance. Your horse lance belongs to Liu Renmei. If you sell it to me, I will give you a hundred guan."

"Not for sale." Xiao Liu replied.

"It's useless for you to keep it. It's a waste of a good spear."

"I said I wouldn't sell it."

"Hey, you are really ignorant, can you use a horse? You can't even ride a horse?"

Shi Xin didn't want to talk to him.

Duan Zhixuan said, "How about we have a competition?"

"I don't want to compare."

"Are you afraid of losing?"

Shi Xin turned his head, "You are a guest today, I am afraid that you will cry if you lose."

Duan Zhixuan was annoyed, "Compare me if you have guts, and I'll beat you to tears." In the end, he is actually just a 13-year-old kid, who usually lacks discipline and looks like a bully.The last time the Duan family asked Luo Cheng to knock a sum of money, Duan Yancheng didn't feel too relieved, but Duan Zhixuan kept remembering that today he wanted to find an opportunity to teach Luo Shixin a lesson, so that the Luo family would make a fool of themselves in front of the guests.

"Then compare." Shi Xin agreed.

Duan Zhixuan became excited, "Okay, it's enough to plant. Someone, bring the young master's horse, and bring the horse."

Shi Xin over there also called Kan Leng, "Go and bring my horse, and bring Ma Li too."

Kan Leng looked at Duan Zhixuan, "Sixth Uncle, isn't this appropriate?"

"Don't worry, it will be fine in a while."

Soon their horses were brought, and Ma Li's horse was brought over.

Two teenagers got on their horses outside the yard, and the movement soon attracted many people to watch.

"Come on!" Luo Shixin was riding on a horse, holding a lance in his hand. Although he was short, he was indeed not as powerful as Duan Zhixuan, who was tall and tall, but he didn't give in at all.

"drive!"

Duan Zhixuan clamped the horse's belly with his legs, and rode the horse straight towards him with a lance.

Shi Xin narrowed his eyes slightly, locked onto Duan Zhixuan tightly, kicked the horse's belly, and also rode the horse forward.

When Luo Cheng heard Kan Leng's report and rushed out, the two riders had already charged close, and it was too late to stop.
