There are two parallel straight lines drawn horizontally and vertically on the white paper, which look like the character "well".
b?i?q?u?g?
"This was a temporary idea. I call it 'Nine Palaces and Three Passes'." Ding Kui said bravely. If he didn't say it was his idea, he might not be able to pass the test of wisdom in front of him.
The middle-aged Confucian scholar asked the children to gather around him and asked Ding Kui: "How to use it to play games?"
"The game is very simple. These four lines divide the white paper into nine spaces, called 'nine palaces'; two people compete and take turns occupying one of the palaces; whoever is the first to occupy the three palaces in a straight line horizontally, vertically, and diagonally
When the time comes, then we will win." Ding Kui made gestures on the white paper.
"Oh, it does seem quite simple. Why don't you try it with my uncle?" The middle-aged Confucian scholar was very interested. He spread the white paper on the table and asked the servant to get some more pens.
"Okay, let's show them how to do it." Ding Kui picked up the pen and drew a circle in the middle space.
The middle-aged Confucian scholar thought for a while, then picked up a pen and drew a bird's wing on one corner.
You made a move, I made a move, and the middle-aged Confucian scholar was quickly defeated. How could someone who had just come into contact with this game be Ding Kui's opponent?
After playing three games in a row, Ding Kui won two and drew one.
"Let them play." The middle-aged Confucian scholar put the pen back on the table. "I admire you. This game looks very simple, but you must use your brain to play it. If you are not careful, you may lose. The first person can play it.
There are five moves, and those who are late can take four moves. If you have thought about it in advance, the game will eventually be a no-lose-no-win situation.
Based on the following evaluation, this game is simple and easy to understand, easy to implement, and has a certain role in training your thinking; it is confrontational but interesting, and it is easy to make and time-consuming; anyone can play this game in almost any environment. Congratulations, uncle.
, you passed this test of wisdom.”
The people around me were very interested when they saw it. Some even dipped their chopsticks in some tea and drew nine palaces on the table, and started playing directly.
"You can think of all this. The Ding family is indeed a weirdo." Now Long Kun admired Ding Kui from the bottom of his heart.
It is not surprising that a scholar or magician can create such a game. It is rare to find a knight in the history of the kingdom who came up with such a thing that has nothing to do with cultivation.
"Well, only then will she be worthy of my daughter and qualified to be your son-in-law." Long Yan's biological father smiled at Long Yan's godfather.
Yu Gui ran back to the inner courtyard like crazy, dancing and describing to Long Yan what had happened to him in the middle hall. Long Yan became interested as she listened, and asked Yu Gui to take out a pen and paper, and played "Nine Palaces and Three Levels" in the boudoir.
Come.
At Lu Ying's reminder, Ding Kui dramatically changed the "Tic Tac Toe to Pass Three Passes" into "Nine Palaces to Pass Three Passes", and thus passed the Long family's wisdom test and successfully passed the third hurdle.
When he was about to walk towards the middle of the central hall, a large number of Long family disciples gathered around him, asking for the prize. Ao Yu, Jiang Cao's brother and sister, Zeng Jian, Zheng Yun, etc. were not willing to be outdone and stood in front of Ding Kui to protect him.
A group of eleven or twelve-year-old boys and girls shouted, "If the new uncle doesn't compete with them, he will give each of them a hundred gold coins, and they will also say more nice things to their aunt or aunt. This is to make it clear, Ding Kui, you are so embarrassed."
Do you want to fight with the juniors? If you don’t want to fight, just give them money.
Jiang Cao and Jiang Yu took action to drive these teenagers away.
Long Tan shouted loudly: "Jiang Cao, why do you have the nerve to attack my junior?"
"Haha, don't forget that Ding Kui is my cousin. Now that I have married your sister, Xiaoyu and I have become your juniors. It's just right to play with them." Jiang Cao said with a smile.
Ding Kui was not a stingy person, and he gave ten gold coins to anyone who could squeeze into his side.
"Ding Kui, if you have the ability, don't ask others for help. If you can take my ten moves, I will let you go." A cold voice came, and Long Shuang stood behind the crowd, faintly blocking Ding Kui.
Between the chair and the Grand Master's chair, his feet had returned to normal, but he was extremely afraid of the best man and did not dare to push his way to Ding Kui's side.
"Tell them to get out of the way, and I will take ten moves from you." Ding Kui was sure that Long Shuang was not at the level of a fearless knight, and was not afraid of fighting him at all.
"Okay, you all get out of the way." The power of the direct descendants of Long Shuang was fully displayed, and the descendants of the Long family who did not get the prize obediently moved away.
Ding Kui stretched out his right hand towards Long Shuang, hooked his four fingers into the palm of his hand a few times, "Come here."
Long Shuang lunged forward and hit Ding Kui in the chest with a dark red fist.
When his fist was half a meter away from Ding Kui's chest, Ding Kui pressed down with his left palm and turned his right fist upward.
Bang, two dark red fists collided in the air, their upper bodies swayed, and each took half a step back.
The people in the nave were in an uproar.
This is the first time that Ding Kui has shown his strength in the Long family, and it can also be said that it is the first time that he has publicly shown his strength in the Shaodian Kingdom. The Protector of the Country, who is still about ten days away from coming of age, is already a late-stage destroyer.
The Shield Knight was not much worse than Long Shuang, who fought against him and was two years older than him.
Judging from this exchange, Ding Kui had the upper hand. You must know that Long Shuang had the tendency to charge forward, but Ding Kui just punched on the spot. As a result, both of them took half a step back.
Long Shuang looked at Ding Kui with suspicious eyes and had no intention of taking action anymore. He froze for a moment and said, "Hey!" Long Shuang sighed, turned around and dove into the crowd and never looked back. He asked Ding Kui to take ten moves, but he
It was obvious that he was not inferior to him, and he could take any number of moves without any problem. If he tried to attack again, it would be no different from stalking him, so he simply chose to give up.
Ding Kui smiled slightly and continued to walk forward. Finally, he came to three Taishi chairs. He knelt down respectfully and kowtowed to the three elders of the Long family. Long Kun in the middle was Long Yan's godfather, and the elder of the Long family on the left was
He is Long Yan’s grandfather, and the one on the right is Long Yan’s father, Long Kai.
"Haha, okay, senior Ding Dao's good grandson, Ding Qi's good son, you will be my good son-in-law soon." So far, Long Kun was very satisfied with Ding Kui's performance.
The elders of the Long family and Long Kai both smiled and said nothing. In terms of status, Long Kun was the highest, and his words could represent the Long family.
"My son-in-law, please welcome Long Yan home." Ding Kui performed the welcoming ceremony meticulously.
"Okay." None of the three elders present had objections.
Immediately, a maid came to the wedding team and took Ding Fen to a side room to change clothes and prepare to greet the bride in the backyard.
The wedding team must send a girl to lead the way for the bride. This girl is called a flower girl, and Ding Fen plays the role of the flower girl. The flower girl and the bride's personal maid escort the bride to the sedan or float, and the groom's unattended maid
It can be served in a sedan chair or float, all the way to the groom's home.
"My dear son-in-law, please rise." Long Kun stood up and announced loudly, "Everyone, please take your seats and let the banquet begin."
Just as Ding Kui stood up, Long Kai stretched out his hand as big as a leaf fan, grabbed his arm and said, "Let's go, I'll take you to meet the elder of the Long family." Like an eagle catching a chicken, he carried Ding Kui towards the chairman.
Go to the table.
Generally, only big families will set up a banquet to entertain relatives and friends on the day of their daughter's wedding. The groom needs to thank the guests who come to the banquet as half the host. Naturally, the groom does not have to pay for the expenses. Being drunk is an indispensable part. The only one who can help is the groomsmen.
one person.
The Long family, one of the top ten families in the country, is indispensable for its relatives and friends. Just calling them names makes Ding Kui dizzy, let alone their names. This is the last level of his journey to welcome his bride, and he must remember each one accurately.
The life and title of a relative or friend is what makes a qualified son-in-law.
As for the issue of being drunk, he left it all to Ao Yu. One hundred thousand gold coins was not so easy to earn.
Ao Yu, who shined in the test of strength, once again conquered everyone with his strength. As long as someone came to Ding Kui or asked him to propose a toast, they were all welcome, and he took them all by himself. After drinking for two full hours, he was not even drunk at all.
No, on the contrary, he subdued some people with ulterior motives, including Long Shuang.
In the middle of the banquet, Ding Fen and Yu Gui helped the bride, who was covered with a red cloth, to the central hall to make her appearance. They were immediately surrounded by girls in the wedding team and escorted to the carriage outside the gate.
Before the banquet started, someone brought food to the three people standing by the carriage. The bride had already eaten and drank before she came out. After the bride came out, Ding Xiao and Biya immediately came forward to help Ding Fen and Yugui General Long Yan.
Send the carriage.
Ding Zhong always stayed at the driving position, watching the surroundings vigilantly, and doing his best to protect the safety of the carriage.
Ding Kui's strong mental power once again helped Ding Kui overcome the difficulties. The names of hundreds of relatives and friends present related to Long Yan were all remembered in his mind. When those people came to him to toast, none of them made the wrong toast, and they were all given to Ao Yu to drink on his behalf.
Jiang Cao and Jiang Yu seemed to be in love with Long Yan's juniors, keeping an eye on them the whole time to prevent them from making trouble with the bridegroom, taking advantage of their younger age.
Ding Kui thanked all the relatives and friends of the Long family, and after waiting for them to return the favor one by one, he went to say goodbye to Long Kun, officially completed the wedding reception at the woman's home, and started on his way home.
On the way back, there were not only people from the Ding family, but also a group of young people from the Long family headed by Long Tan. They had to send the bride to the groom's home on behalf of the woman, and at the same time, they monitored the bride and groom so that they could not have any substantial contact.
"Huh? Why didn't that Long Shuang come with you? Doesn't my bride have the same treatment as a direct lady of the Long family?" Ding Kui asked Long Tan specifically.
"Haha, my sister is recognized by the future head of the family as his goddaughter. She is a generation older than Long Shuang out of thin air. If he has to call her formally, he has to call his sister "little aunt" and you "little uncle". How can he be such an arrogant person?
Are you willing to call you "little uncle" in a low voice? It's too late to avoid you, let alone follow you." Long Tan said with a proud smile, because of Long Yan's relationship, he was considered Long Shuang's uncle. When Long Shuang saw
He was a little embarrassed.
According to the aristocratic practice, although Long Kun accepted Long Yan as his goddaughter, Long Yan's direct relatives had nothing to do with Long Kun. Long Shuang really wanted to call Long Yan "sister-in-law", but there was no need to call Long Tan "brother-in-law."
"Hahaha, let's see what he calls me when he meets me in the future. No wonder he has the idea of not letting me pass during the test of strength. It turns out that he doesn't want me to ride on his head and give him a lifetime."
