Chapter 102 Warm-up

Xiao Tianfu is Xiao Tianlei's biological brother. Of course, his wedding with Luo Cuilian must be held in a good manner, with a glorious atmosphere, making his parents happy.

In addition, since the Brotherhood started its rebellion, many members of the Brotherhood have been in a highly tense working state and are also somewhat uneasy about the future. With this wedding, we can relax everyone, which can be regarded as celebrating victory and calming people's hearts. It might as well make it grander and boost the economy. Of course, the so-called grandeur does not mean that it is extravagant and wasteful. In the specific form, Xiao Tianlei discussed with his brothers, just like the Wild Boar Ridge party, which was lively and lively. In addition to the main venue of Zhengjiazhuang, there were also some celebrations in other places in Lingzhou. Some members of the Art Troupe went to perform a show. Of course, the best members of the Art Troupe basically came to Zhengjiazhuang and prepared to perform a big show that had been rehearsed for a while.

Dozens of trucks carrying various musical instruments, clothing and props arrived in Zhengjiazhuang. Another Shanyue army was traveling with the Brotherhood Art Troupe. The main task was to maintain public order. At the same time, as the engineering team, the team immediately began to be busy as soon as they arrived in Zhengjiazhuang. Originally, the newly built new house communities had supporting event squares, but compared with this wedding, the wedding was chosen to be held at this time because now, after the autumn harvest, the large areas of fields were vacant and just enough to be used. Shanyue soldiers divided the work and cooperated to clear out large areas of fields, set up stages, and arranged the venue.

In just one day, Shanyue soldiers set up a large stage and arranged a huge venue, and the entire Zhengjiazhuang and the nearby area changed greatly, with lights and colorful decorations, and a festive atmosphere. The next day, the people responsible for the banquet, reception of guests, maintaining order, security work, etc. were in place, and all work was ready.

On the third day, the wedding team went to welcome the bride, and the guests who attended the wedding also arrived one after another. Some relatives and friends of the Xiao family, members of the fraternity, merchants, sects, and even some leaders of the Rongzhou tribe sent some cattle, sheep and horses as gifts. The scene was extremely lively. Even if they were just simply registering and receiving gifts, the personnel responsible for reception were still very busy.

In addition to the guests who sincerely come to congratulate or join in the fun, many guests have special purposes. In their eyes, this may be an opportunity to understand the fraternity. At the wedding, the fraternity may reveal something, such as the attendance of some people behind the fraternity.

No matter what the real purpose of these guests were, the scene was extremely lively and the wedding was handled by a group of members of the Brotherhood. The members of the Xiao family never expected such a big scene to be created before. They were at a loss for a moment and didn't know how to deal with it.

"What do you look like? I haven't seen a big scene! Didn't Tianlei and others send some new clothes to bring them all, and go out to welcome the guests. Although everyone is in charge of the marriage, we, as the master, cannot lose our courtesy!" Mr. Xiao was actually a little timid, but as the leader of the Xiao family, he had to remain calm no matter what. He scolded those at a loss. Mr. Xiao put on his new clothes and took people out to greet the guests.

Whether they knew each other or not, they were greetings and socializing. Mr. Xiao and others smiled a little stiffly, and their hearts were very happy. Such a glorious scene was unexpectedly seen in their lifetime. This was the first time they personally felt that Xiao Tianlei and his brothers' leaders had some opinions on the rebellion of the Brotherhood, but now they hoped that the Brotherhood would really succeed and make this glory last.

Of course, there are also unhappy people, such as Xiao Tianrong and Xiao Tianlu. When they saw Xiao Tianfu getting married, they felt extremely unbalanced. They were very talented and studied hard since childhood and were full of knowledge. Can't they compare to a wild boy who doesn't know anything? Looking at Xiao Tianfu's wedding, they were also envious and wondered when they could be so glorious. However, the difficulty seemed very high! The world was unfair! Of course, no matter how dissatisfied they were, they had to endure it honestly. If they found discomfort for Xiao Tianfu at this time, God knew how Xiao Tianlei would deal with them.

Xiao Qinghe and others from Xiao Yi also looked at all this enviously. When will the Xiao family in Xiao Yi have such a glory? Before, when did the Xiao family in Zhengjiazhuang be like a small clan in the countryside. It is normal for food, clothing, housing and transportation in Lingzhou, and there is no wealth. After hearing some rules of the Brotherhood, I also understand that the Brotherhood is a Brotherhood and the Xiao family is a Xiao family. Even if the brothers have more money, the Xiao family will not get much benefit. However, this grand wedding also shows the status of the Xiao family in the Brotherhood. As long as the brotherhood does not fall, the Xiao family will naturally benefit. However, how can Xiao family gain a foothold in the Daxia in the future?

Xiao Tianyou was dressed in the clothes of the nobles of Beiliang, and was laughing loudly among the guests. The loud voices could be heard from afar. Other guests knew his identity without any hesitation. Not only that, he took the opportunity to tell many guests about the relationship between the Xiao family in Zhengjiazhuang and the Xiao family in Beiliang, which attracted many people's great surprise. Unexpectedly, the Xiao family where the Xiao family and the Empress Dowager Xiao of Beiliang were originally a family. Even if Beiliang is not as good as Daxia, it is also a country that can compete with Daxia. The Brotherhood has such a relationship with Beiliang. It is not so easy for the Daxia court to clean up the Brotherhood. If the Brotherhood and Beiliang join forces, Daxia will also have a headache.

Mu Shuwen watched Xiao Tianyou's actions coldly. Of course, he also knew Xiao Tianyou's purpose, but he couldn't stop it.

Compared to Xiao Tianyou's angrily, Mu Shuwen is much more low-key. Although he represents the court, he is a secret envoy. Moreover, the brotherhood does not buy his account at all. Now he is just an ordinary guest. Mu Shuwen has been very uncomfortable these days. He is not used to the life in Zhengjiazhuang. The main reason is that no one is serving him. He has to do many things with his own people. He only brought some guards, big and thick, and no maids are easy to use. If he was in other states, he went to some big ones.

There are many servants who can't be left to serve them, and they may even give them beautiful maids to warm up the bed. The Xiao family in Zhengjiazhuang doesn't have to think about it at all, and there is no slave in the Xiao family. What Mu Shuwen is most troubled is that, except for fighting with Xiao Tianyou, there are not many people who can speak. Mu Shuwen is searching in the crowd, hoping to find some clues of the Brotherhood, and at least some people with common languages. As a result, his hard work pays off and he really finds it.

Among the characters dressed by merchants and martial artists, the two scholars were really conspicuous. Mu Shuwen stepped forward and called each other and reported their names. It turned out that they were two famous scholars whom he had heard of for a long time. They immediately started talking. The two people Mu Shuwen came to find Xie Jinan and Zhou Shizhi. This time, Zhengjiazhuang was naturally coming to congratulate him and joined in the fun. When they learned about Mu Shuwen's identity, they were surprised and asked about the reason, but Mu Shuwen did not hide it.

"I want the brothers to surrender to the court?" Xie Jinan and Zhou Shizhi were extremely surprised after hearing this and frowned.

"Can you two gentlemen have any advice?" Mu Shuwen asked for advice respectfully.

"This matter is difficult, difficult!" Xie Jinan kept shook his head.

"Why?" Mu Shuwen was puzzled.

Xie Jinan did not answer, but asked, "Mr. Mu also has some experiences when he came to Lingzhou, but did he find out what is the difference between Lingzhou?"

Mu Shuwen thought a little and said in confusion: "There are many novel things in Lingzhou, but what does it have to do with whether the Brotherhood surrenders?" Mu Shuwen's opinion is that the main problem is that the leaders of the Brotherhood are simply a group of lawless madmen. Relying on a new weapon, they are arrogant and ignorant.

"Mr. Mu didn't expect anything when he saw the style of the Brotherhood? For example, those machinery and the various laws they formulated?"

When Xie Jinan mentioned it, Mu Shuwen remembered that although he was disdainful, he could not help but hear some of the things that the Brotherhood did, such as beating and bullying scholars, monks, etc., and the Brotherhood actually sent people to teach farmers how to farm, feed pigs, build many workshops, huge water trucks, machinery, and formulate various regulations. As he thought about it, Mu Shuwen's expression suddenly changed.

Mu Shuwen is not stupid, but because of prejudice, he looked down on some of the actions of the Brotherhood, and could not get a glimpse of the whole picture of Lingzhou. After thinking carefully, he could see some clues. Many of the behaviors of the Brotherhood can see the shadows of some sects and all kinds of miscellaneous studies. The emergence of the Brotherhood is by no means accidental, and it is probably not as simple as Shanyue Ren's rebellion. Mu Shuwen couldn't help but wonder whether it was the combined force of the suppressed sectarian forces?

Xie Jinan said again: "Lingzhou has already formed its own system under the management of the Brotherhood. Will the Brotherhood be willing to intervene in the court? Will the court allow such a Lingzhou to exist?"

Mu Shuwen understood that the rebellion of the Brotherhood is not a simple rebellion, it is not a matter of a family. It is very likely to be a dispute between Taoism. Behind the Brotherhood may be some declining sects. Now, the mainstream schools occupy high positions in the court, which cannot tolerate the Brotherhood at all, and the Brotherhood will not compromise. Therefore, it is basically impossible to make the Brotherhood surrender. Lingzhou is indeed a place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack. The court spent too much money to take Lingzhou, so it wanted to recruit appeasements. However, in this way, this matter is simply not feasible, and Mu Shuwen is in a dilemma.

In fact, Xie Jinan still has many things that he did not say to Mu Shuwen, nor would he say. Generally speaking, the style of the Brotherhood may be rampant, unruly, unruly, ignorant, loyal and righteous. However, after Xie Jinan's long observation, the Brotherhood's actions have a clear purpose, and his leaders strictly abide by a set of rules. Outsiders do not know the specific content. However, some clues can be seen from some regulations formulated by the Brotherhood. For example, the Brotherhood occupied Lingzhou and relied on Shanyue people to cause trouble.

However, there is no deliberate way to escalate the status of the people of the mountain. In addition, the Brotherhood does not allow the existence of slaves, they can have employees, they need to pay wages, they are not allowed to be bullied and scolded at will, etc. It seems that they are doing it according to the concept of people without high or low status mentioned by some sects. Personally, the Brotherhood does not seek enjoyment, and never takes care of others when doing things. Many things are done by themselves. Compared with the power and money they possess, they can be said to be extremely frugal and restrained, and it is also very similar to the style of disciples of some sects before.

In Xie Jinan's view, the posture shown by the leaders of the Brotherhood is probably to change the world. If that is true, the Brotherhood's goal will definitely not be limited to Lingzhou. Of course, everything is Xie Jinan's guess, and Xie Jinan is unwilling to talk too much. Once he talks about this with Mu Shuwen, he may cause great disasters.

After leaving Mu Shuwen to think there, Xie Jinan and Zhou Shizhi were excited to talk to other guests. Through talking to these people, they learned about some of the actions of the Brotherhood. Xie Jinan was surprised to find that the tentacles of the Brotherhood had extended to many small countries west of Rongzhou and Lingzhou, and were very popular in these places.

Zhou Shizhi likes to talk to some young people, ask some of the staff of the Brotherhood staff, some of which, and some even make people feel stupid. Of course, Zhou Shizhi is not stupid, he also has his purpose. As the chief of Zhushan Academy, he is very curious about the fraternity schools. It is said that children in fraternity schools will become different. Zhou Shizhi really wants to know what kind of knowledge they teach in fraternity schools. Unfortunately, the fraternity schools are closed and are not allowed to enter. Zhou Shizhi hopes to see some clues from these young people in the Brotherhood. Zhou Shizhi does see some things. These young people in the Brotherhood all have a sense of arrogance, but treat people equally, do things quickly and efficiently, like to be straightforward in everything, and are very serious about some details, not careless at all. The leaders of the Brotherhood usually domineering and arrogant may just be a disguise, and this is their true face.

This wedding revealed a freshness everywhere. Xie Jinan and Zhou Shizhi wanted to walk more and see more. However, soon, the performance of the Brotherhood Art Troupe was about to begin. Most of the guests returned to their own seats to sit down. The art troupe did not officially start, but was a warm-up show, performing some small songs, small repertoires, jokes, and passing the time for the guests.

If you are more enthusiastic about the performance of the art troupe, the female relatives are still the female relatives. The female relatives are full early and waiting for the performance to begin.

"As soon as I arrived in Lingzhou, I heard people talk about how wonderful the performance of the Brotherhood Art Troupe was. I wonder what kind of performance it would be?"

"Since it has been praised by everyone, I believe there must be something good."

"Xuejun, what do you think of playing the blue and white porcelain from a leader of the Brotherhood?"

“That’s right.”

"I'm curious, what kind of person is that?"

"If Wushuang hadn't told her to hand over the letter to that person, I really wouldn't want to see that person!"

"Why? You highly respect that blue and white porcelain, but you don't like the person who plays this song. Is that person very bad? "

"I really can't figure out how such a person can play such a song!"

"What is it like? You'll make it clear!"

"I can't say it well, it's hard to describe it."

Two women wearing veils in the female relatives talked. Seeing their clothes and dressed, they knew that they were not ordinary women. One of them was Lin Xuejun. The reason why Lin Xuejun appeared here was a coincidence. She originally delivered a letter to Xiao Tianlei for Qi Wushuang, but as soon as she arrived in Lingzhou City, she met sisters who had been in the same school. Lin Xuejun's fellow disciple was named Xie Ya, but Xie Jin'an's granddaughter. Xie Jin'an was stranded in Lingzhou for a long time. When the brothers rebelled, the Xie family sent some tribe members to visit and take care of him. He heard that Xie Jin'an said in the letter that many novel things in Lingzhou were also followed by Lingzhou. Today, she came here specifically to see some performances of the Brotherhood Art Troupe. When she met Lin Xuejun, she came to Zhengjiazhuang together. Before, Lin Xuejun asked where Xiao Tianlei was, but was told that she had set off to welcome the bride.

While Lin Xuejun and Xie Ya were talking, the performance of the Brotherhood Art Troupe began with a sound of pounding music.

Lin Xuejun and Xie Ya were from Miaoyin Pavilion. The first thing they noticed was of course the musicians of the art troupe. There were more than 20 people, equipped with various instruments, and some instruments that had never been seen before. As for the performance, the performance was initially a few jokes and small repertoires. The musicians used different accompaniments to set off the atmosphere or create contrast, and there were some funny music. The performance skills were not necessarily very clever, but they were just right. Lin Xuejun and Xie Ya were still extremely surprised. Some of the soundtracks had never been heard before, and the tunes were very novel and unheard of.

At first, Lin Xuejun and Xie Ya were still studying and discussing some novel music from the art troupe, and gradually became attracted by the content of some programs. Even if the content was a bit vulgar, they were still amused. Many women in the female relatives area tried hard to hold back and not laugh in order to maintain the girl's family manner. However, many of them, Shanyue women and farm women laughed openly regardless of their demeanor. Others in the audience laughed loudly. With the amusing on the stage, the women who endured the laughter and laughed out loud one by one, and then they were out of control.

Lin Xuejun and Xie Ya endured the painstaking efforts, shook their shoulders and did not go to the stands, but they couldn't help but go to see them. After holding back for a while, one joke after another, the two women's faces were red under the veil. Finally, Xie Ya couldn't help it, and she didn't care about her image. She laughed back and forth like other women, and she laughed back and forth, and she fell into Lin Xuejun's arms: "Hahaha, I can't stand it anymore, haha ​​who made it up, it's really haha! I'm about to break my breath!" Xie Ya's image was completely destroyed, and this was not counting. Xie Ya didn't want to lose her composure by herself. She had a sudden inspiration and reached out to scratch Lin Xuejun. Lin Xuejun's defense line was also lost. She couldn't help laughing. After laughing for a while, the two women vented their faces and blushed with shame.

The performance of the art troupe is of course interesting. Each joke is carefully arranged, which makes the guests laugh happily. Those who have seen such a performance for the first time were all laughing crazy, and they all rolled on the ground.

The performances of the art troupe alone made some people feel that this trip was not in vain. Several programs were more exciting ones in succession, and the guests were enjoying themselves while eating snacks such as dried candies and fruits. Many people even forgot the purpose of coming here and stared at the stage intently.

"Smacking"

With the sound of noise and firecrackers coming from outside, the performance of the art troupe came to an end because the wedding team had returned. There were too many guests coming, and it was impossible for everyone to squeeze together to watch the fun. Most of the guests could only get up from their seats and watch. People stretched their necks and widened their eyes. As the wedding team slowly approached, everyone was shocked. This wedding team was really special. To be continued.
