郭靖好奇心起,上前观看。只见人群中间围着一块空地,地上插着一杆锦旗,旗上绣着“比武招亲”四个金字。
Guo Jing was curious and went to watch. In the middle of the crowd, there was an open space. On the ground, there was a brocade flag with the four golden characters of “competition for marriage” embroidered on it.
旗下两人正拳来脚去打得热闹。那红衣少女卖个破绽,高大汉子一招打来,只见她闪身横扫,大汉收足不住,向前跌倒。观众齐声喝采。
The two men under the flag are fighting with each other. The girl in red sold a flaw, and the tall man hit with a move. She flashed across, and the big man couldn’t stop and fell forward. The audience cheered in unison.
红衣少女退到一边,走出一个中年汉子来,拱手道:“在下姓穆名易，山东人氏。因小女年巳及笄,尚未婚许,愿嫁一个武艺超群的好汉。众位若有胜得小女的,在下即将小女许配。”
The girl in red stepped aside, walked out of a middle-aged man, and arched her hand and said, “My surname is Mu Mingyi, a native of Shandong Province. Because my little girl has reached her hairpin and has not yet married, I would like to marry a man with excellent martial arts skills. If you win the little girl, I will marry her.”
穆易交代之后,等了一会,只听人从中一些泼皮取笑,又对那少女评头论足,却无人敢下场动手。抬头望天,眼见铅云低压,北风更劲,转身拔起旗杆,便欲把锦旗卷起。
After Mu Yi explained it, he waited for a while, only to hear some naughty jokes and make comments on the girl, but no one dared to step down. Looking up at the sky, I saw that the lead cloud was low and the north wind was stronger. I turned around and pulled up the flagpole and wanted to roll up the brocade flag.
这时,忽听得弯铃响动,数十名健仆拥着一个少年公子驰马而来。
At this time, I suddenly heard the bell ring, and dozens of healthy servants came galloping with a young boy.
那公子见了“比武招亲”的锦旗,向那少女打量了几眼,微微一笑,下马走进人从,向少女道:“比武招亲的可是这位姑娘么?”那少女红了脸转过头去,并不答话。
When the young man saw the banner of “martial arts contest for marriage”, he looked at the girl, smiled, dismounted and walked into the corridor, and said to the girl, “Is this the girl who is the one who is competing for marriage?” The girl turned red and did not answer.
