Chapter 28 Miss Huo’s Groom
Dusk.
The young man wearing green shorts came to the ruined temple and bowed with a smile: "My lady is getting married tonight. Please come to the back garden at three o'clock to enjoy the meal and drink."
Xiao Qian said happily: "Although this little brother and I have never met the lady, it is a great favor to rest in your house thanks to the lady's care. Please also tell the lady that we will definitely go to her wedding banquet."
After the boy left, Xiao Qian tidied up his clothes and said, "Little brother, please tidy up quickly."
Shang Bingjiu picked out a red lantern from the basket, lit it slowly, and hung it on the eaves of the ruined temple with a bamboo pole.
He looked at Xiao Baojing: "It's too dark at night. If you light a lantern, the little princess won't be afraid anymore."
The tips of Xiao Baojing's ears were slightly red.
This salesman is quite considerate.
After Shang Bingjiu and Xiao Qian left, Xiao Baojing climbed out of the box and squatted at the door of the ruined temple with his face in his hands.
What on earth did she want to do when she came to this garden?
She touched her shoulder bag and suddenly took out "The Analects of Confucius" and a few pieces of paper.
The paper was filled with densely written words in her handwriting. She read them one by one, vaguely remembered them, and murmured to herself: "Yes, I came from Furong Town in Julu Mountain. I want to go to Ye Jing to find the country." Master, I also promised Ji Zhengyan that I would send him to see Yun Niang..."
She opened the Analects of Confucius and called out: "Ji Zhengyan! Ji Zhengyan!"
A wisp of green smoke floated out from the book, and a figure in a well-dressed and well-dressed figure soon appeared.
Xiao Baojing frowned.
I don't know if it was an illusion, but Ji Zhengyan's figure was lighter than before.
Ji Zhengyan bowed politely and said, "I wonder how this girl recognizes me?"
Xiao Baojing was stunned.
Ji Zhengyan forgot about her.
She probed: "Do you remember who you are?"
"I am a new scholar in the first year of Zhengyuan, and Ji Zhengyan is the same."
"Where are you from?"
"I came from Yuhua Lane, and my fiancée at home is still waiting for me to come home."
Mentioning Yun Niang, Ji Zhengyan's solemn and handsome face showed a gentle look.
"It's good that you still remember this..." Xiao Baojing breathed a sigh of relief, "Let's go to Yuhua Lane to meet Yun Niang now!"
She ran out with "The Analects of Confucius" in her arms, and Ji Zhengyan followed behind, shouting: "I wonder who the girl is? Why are you going to Yuhua Lane? Could it be that the girl also knows Yun Niang? However, in the middle of the night, you and I are alone. How can a man and a woman go together? It’s really disgraceful!”
Xiao Baojing said nothing, and recited the words "Go to Yuhua Lane to see Yun Niang" repeatedly in his mind, for fear that he would forget them again halfway through.
Unexpectedly, not long after Ji Zhengyan ran out of the ruined temple, Ji Zhengyan suddenly stopped leaving.
Xiao Baojing turned around anxiously: "Ji Zhengyan?"
The young man sat upright on a stone, with his eyelids lowered and his sleeves raised to cover half of his face: "Girl is young, and I don't know that men and women do not sit at the same table at the age of six. However, I am familiar with the classics and history. I should not go with her for the sake of her reputation."
If there wasn't a hammer around, Xiao Baojing would have really wanted to hit him on the head.
How long has it been before you still have fame and fame!
This dead man covering his face with his sleeves looks exactly like the Tang Monk in "Journey to the West"!
Just as she was about to scold him, a few green phosphorus fires came closer and closer.
The young man in green appeared under the loquat tree and saluted the two of them with a smile: "My lady is getting married tonight and is entertaining distinguished guests in the garden. Why don't you two come over?"
Xiao Baojing simply refused: "We don't have the money to pay the gift, so we might as well not go!"
The boy said: "My new uncle is a Jinshi in the new science. He writes good articles and his family is rich and prominent. Why do you need a gift from the two of you?"
Ji Zhengyan asked curiously: "I wonder which year your new uncle was a new scholar?" "He was a new scholar in the first year of Zhengyuan."
The first year of Zhengyuan...
Ji Zhengyan clapped his hands and laughed: "I am also a Jinshi in the same year! How can I not drink at my classmate's wedding? Take me to the banquet quickly!"
Xiao Baojing watched the two of them walking toward the back garden, and his jaw dropped.
"Ji Zhengyan!"
She shouted, but when she saw that Ji Zhengyan didn't look back, she had no choice but to chase after him.
The lights in the back garden are like daylight.
An embroidered building full of lanterns is hidden among the loquat trees. There are twenty or thirty tables of banquets in the open space in front of the building. The wine and fruits are fragrant and delicacies are abundant. There is a lot of people drinking and drinking, which is very lively.
"Ji Zhengyan, come back soon!"
Xiao Baojing chased the well-dressed young man and almost knocked over several maids who came to serve food with trays in their hands.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
The maids were wearing yellow and green underskirts. They all had round and cute faces, just like twins. The leading maid scolded Xiao Baojing as "disgusting", and the other maids also followed suit. They even Even the sound is exactly the same.
Xiao Baojing apologized and hurriedly chased Ji Zhengyan, but he was no longer in sight.
In panic, she walked around and broke into the embroidery building.
The ladies and maids in the embroidery building were busy preparing for the wedding of the young lady and her uncle, and no one had time to talk to her.
Xiao Baojing wanted to leave this embroidery building, but she didn't know that the rooms and stairs in the building were like a maze. She opened the door randomly and unexpectedly broke into someone's boudoir.
The boudoir is decorated festively, and even the window lattice is decorated with red 囍 characters.
But those hanging from the beams...
Xiao Baojing's pupils suddenly narrowed.
Countless men in bright red wedding clothes were hanged under the beams. At first glance, there were countless people crowded together. Some were so old that they had even dried into skeletons. Only the empty wedding clothes were left in the night breeze. The inside moves swaying.
Xiao Baojing swallowed.
These are...
The groom who marries the lady?
She slammed the door, turned around and ran out.
Finally running outside the embroidery building, she had a pale face. She didn't find Ji Zhengyan at the banquet, but saw him at the base of the wall.
"Ji Zhengyan!"
She yelled, but the young man didn't respond to her.
She ran over and scolded: "What are you looking at so fascinatedly? Have you even forgotten your own name?"
Ji Zhengyan raised his hand and pointed at something posted on the wall.
It was a long red announcement, densely filled with names, the names of the new scholars in the first year of Zhengyuan.
Xiao Baojing suddenly said: "So you were looking at the results announcement that year! Where did you get in the exam, and where is your name?"
Ji Zheng said nothing.
Xiao Baojing took a cursory glance, but couldn't find Ji Zhengyan's name.
She looked carefully again, but still couldn't find Ji Zhengyan's name.
"Ah this..." Xiao Baojing looked at him suspiciously, "Could it be that you failed in your reputation and just imagined that you were a Jinshi in high school? I heard that there was a kind of ghost in ancient times called the examination ghost, who died in depression because he failed to pass the exam. The resentment in your heart turned into a ghost, and you usually like to teach others. Ji Zhengyan, could you be the ghost in the examination room? "
