Not to mention that the three get along well. It's just that the day of the martial arts conference is getting closer. Many martial arts heroes slowly gathered, and the elders of each faction also slowly arrived.
It turned out that in order to hold this martial arts conference, County Magistrate Zhang and Zhou Shoubei ordered people to build a high platform and tents on an open space next to the Jiang Wharf for the conference. These days they are not at home are busy with this matter.
The high platform is tall and wide, and it is made of high-quality pine wood. A huge wooden archway was built behind the high platform as the background wall. The three huge wooden squares on the top of the archway were written with three big characters "Zhanjiaohui". On the front of the archway was a huge picture of a tiger descending the mountain. There is a couplet written on it, which is "The roar of the tiger scares all the beasts, and the dragon soars across the sea".
There are steps up and down on the left and right sides of the high platform. Under the background wall of the high platform, there are three tables and chairs in the middle, which are the seats of Jing Wuji, Zhang County Magistrate, and Zhou Shoubei who hosted the meeting. Prepared by the current first-class sect. Here, by the way, the nine schools are Haoran School, Shangshan Temple, Banruo Temple, Huashan School, Songshan School, Wushan Sword School, Diancang Sword School, Kongtong Sword School, and Baihua Temple. Among the nine sects, Haoranzong, Shangshanguan, and Prajna Temple are the most respected. These three schools have been passed down for thousands of years, with profound foundations and many generations. They have always occupied seats among the nine martial arts schools, while the other six schools change from time to time. home, come to his house next year."
Below the high platform is a huge square, and the ground has been ground hard and flat with stone rollers. On the square, there are three hundred sets of tables and chairs facing the high platform, which are seats for the second and third-rate sects in Jianghu.
Dozens of tall tents were set up around the square, which were prepared for rest and accommodation during the conference of martial arts figures from various factions. Among these tents, tall and luxurious independent tents are prepared for the nine sects and the first-class sects in Jianghu, and they are provided free of charge.
Other factions provide collective tents, and they need to pay a symbolic accommodation fee.
If you can't even live in a collective tent, you have to bring your own tent or stay in a hotel.
Of course, there are also some rich and powerful sects who purposely don¡¯t live in the tents prepared by the organizers, but bring their own luxurious tents, such as the three major families of martial arts, the Nangong family, the Beitang family, and the Lin family, a giant merchant from Luocha Island in the South China Sea.
Everything is ready, just waiting for the martial arts conference to be held on time on September 9th. It wasn't until this time that County Magistrate Zhang and Zhou Shoubei had time to go home.
As soon as the two returned home, they both mentioned one thing to their wives at the same time, that is, the marriage of the two children.
It turned out that even without this martial arts conference, Zhou Liefeng and Zhang Bingying would go down this year. The two of them are eighteen years old and the other is sixteen years old. At that time, they were already the age when men should marry women. The two families had already agreed to hold the wedding when they went down the mountain this time. It's a big deal, and neither wants to change plans.
The two families quickly agreed on an auspicious date, which was the first day of the martial arts conference. Just at that time, the masters of the two of them also arrived, and the heads of various martial arts sects also arrived. Taking advantage of this time, the wedding was held in a lively manner, and at the same time, all major martial arts sects were invited to the wedding, adding joy to the wedding. Moreover, Zhou Liefeng and Zhang Bingying are also martial arts practitioners after all, no matter what path they take in the future, they will have to deal with all kinds of schools and top schools in the world, so they just take this opportunity to get to know more martial arts fellows.
The auspicious day is certain, and a series of cutscenes such as appointment and ceremony will be carried out in an orderly manner. Both families are in official circles, and their relatives are far away, so they don't have to invite them. Those who want to send invitations are some close friends of the bureaucrats and the heads of various factions participating in the martial arts conference, and they are invited all over quickly.
As for Zhou Liefeng and Zhang Bingying, although they felt that the wedding was held in a hurry, it was something they already knew, and after getting along these days, they both had feelings for each other in their hearts, so they were also very happy. preparing for marriage.
As soon as things were busy, the days passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it was the eighth day of September, the first day of the martial arts conference, and the big day for the two to get married.
The two families stayed up late at night with their lights on the first night. The lights in the middle only went out for an hour and a half before they were turned on again. They both hurriedly made preparations for the wedding.
At Zhou Shoubei's home, the Qinglu has already been set up. The streets and alleys of Jiangjin County were crowded with people, everyone was waiting to see the grand event of the marriage between the county magistrate and the guard family.
It wasn't until after noon that the main gate of the garrison mansion was opened wide. First, someone came out to set off firecrackers, and then a pair of guards of honor came out of the gate. The first two men each held a red lantern in their hands. Behind, Zhou Liefeng was wearing the groom's auspicious He came out with a happy face and stepped on a tall horse led by a servant. Behind him were three bridal sedan chairs, one with a matchmaker, and two with a sedan chair boy.Behind the sedan chair was a deacon, Chuichuidada, who followed the guard of honor to clear the way, and walked slowly towards Zhang County Magistrate's house.
When I arrived at the county government office, I saw that the main gate and the side gate were closed tightly, and no one came out to greet him. It turned out that this was called blocking the gate. The ceremonial guards, sedan chairs, and deacons all stopped, Zhou Liefeng got off his horse and went to call the door, but the inside was not too difficult, he asked a few questions, and then let him in.
Everyone was entertained inside, and then the bride, Zhang Bingying, was carried into the sedan chair by Guan Rong (the elder brother or uncle should carry the sedan chair, but Zhang Bingying has no elder brother, and his uncle is not there, so Zhou Liefeng's younger brother Guan Rong will do it for him). The guard of honor opened the way, Zhou Liefeng rode a horse in front of the sedan chair, and the trumpeter followed behind, playing and beating, and carried the sedan chair to the garrison mansion. Send the bride to the green cottage in the inner courtyard.
At this time, it was already dark, and the lights of the garrison mansion were turned on. After the two of them worshiped the heaven and the earth in the green cottage, they sent Zhang Bingying into the bridal chamber.
Then the banquet was held with lights on, and the seats in the garrison mansion were filled with close friends, officials and leaders of various factions. However, among the nine sects, Haoranzong, Shangshanguan, and Banruo Temple's head Haoran Changgezi, Yipiao Zhenren and Zen Master Zhiguo did not arrive, nor did Huangye Daochang, the head of Baihua Temple.
?Some other martial arts practitioners set up a canopy, set up an open-air stove, and set up flowing water seats at the venue of the martial arts conference.
People in martial arts are living a life of licking blood on the edge of a knife, and all major sects often practice hard in the mountains. They rarely encounter such secular happy events, and their personalities are relatively bold, so naturally they eat to their heart's content. It didn't mean to disperse until midnight.
In addition to County Magistrate Zhang, Zhou Shoubei, and the masters and housekeepers of the two prefectures, Zhang Luo, who accompanied the guests, Zhou Liefeng, the bridegroom official, also greeted the guests outside and drank at each table.
During the excitement, suddenly a little girl ran out from the second door in a panic, and went straight to Zhou Liefeng who was drinking with a group of martial arts friends. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
