Chapter 64 The Wedding
In the spring of the 16th year of the Qian'an calendar, it was February 13th, a good and auspicious day.
The entire Yong'an City knew that the Xie family of Chen County was getting married, so they waited at the gate of Xie's mansion early in the morning. Nowadays, married daughters of aristocratic families will spend money at the gate of the mansion to create a scene during the Yin hour.
The main entrance of Xie's Mansion was surrounded by water. The chief of ceremonies was carrying tray after tray of copper coins and throwing them outside. The crowd screamed and cursed non-stop.
Young Master An Yu, who was waiting for his father to marry him, moved out of Xie's Mansion yesterday and was waiting at the inn outside the city.
He was dressed festively today, and the bright red robe made his resolute eyebrows soften a bit. He looked at the dowry list sent by the Xie family and sneered, "Xie Rongping is really cunning. He agreed on the salt tax." What was given was three points, but it turned out to be two points.”
He agreed, "Taifu Xie is so cunning and cunning that he can benefit from the salt tax only for the sake of Langjun. Otherwise, according to his virtue of not seeing rabbits and not letting hawks fly, I'm afraid he will only give some yellow and white vulgar things."
Young Master An lowered his eyebrows and said thoughtfully, "The Xie family will not risk all their efforts to help me. And if we just rely on the Xie family to fuel the flames from behind, I don't know when the world will really be in chaos."
"What do you want, sir?"
Young Master An put his index finger lightly on his lips and made a silent gesture, "Buddha said it cannot be said."
The attendant nodded with a clear understanding, and then stood up, "Mr. Sir, I'll go check the horses for the wedding."
Young Master An waved his hand, "No, it's just a token of marriage. Why bother? You don't have to go to Xie's Mansion with me today. Go and look after Hui Nu for me."
Hearing this, the attendant hesitated and said, "When Lang Jun left Lanfang Garden early in the morning, Hui Nu lost her temper and smashed some things."
"You are giving her a little warning today. She has to come from Wu State, so she should be sensible and stop making trouble." He picked up the hot wine on the table and took a sip before continuing, "She is still too spoiled. .”
Time flies by, and the sky has begun to turn white.
In Rufeng Courtyard of Xie Mansion, Xie Fengyue had a headache due to the shouting of several dressing ladies. She was so excited that she couldn't sleep last night, and now she was being touched by several people, and her whole body was on the verge of explosion.
In the compartment, Huarui was also putting on makeup for Wanxue. Although she had thousands of doubts, she still swallowed them all and put on bright red lipstick for Wanxue honestly.
The wedding ceremony was held as scheduled. Since he was marrying the King of Wu from afar, Prince An could not enter the palace to pay homage to his father. However, it saved a lot of trouble. The group of them were waiting outside the gate of Xie's Mansion. They were surrounded by people watching the fun and had not yet left. of people.
Xie Fengyue followed the wedding aunt to the front hall to meet Gao Tang, and then was carried out of the house by Xie Wei.
Just as she stepped across the brazier and entered the sedan chair, something unexpected happened.
Xie Fengrou, who was chased out of Xie's mansion, shouted loudly, "The bride is not Xie Fengyue."
As soon as this voice came out, the originally noisy environment suddenly became quiet. The people watching looked confused, and Gongzi An's face was stiff.
If this bride wasn’t Xie Fengyue, who else could she be?
He chased her out. Xie Fengyu ignored her image as a lady, hunched over and held her legs, gasping for breath, "What are you talking about?"
Xie Fengyue's body just paused, and she broke away from the support of the wedding nun and went directly into the sedan chair.
If at this moment, in order to prove his innocence, he lifts his hijab in front of Gongzi An, then something really bad will happen. Xie Fengrou held the handkerchief, raised her head, looked around, and said to the young master riding a tall horse, "If Mr. Lang doesn't believe it, you can verify it now." She pointed to the sedan chair and continued, "If she wasn't guilty, why would she do it as soon as I said it? Get in the sedan immediately!”
Only then did everyone realize that the bride had entered the sedan chair at some point.
Gongzi An was a man who valued face very much. His eyes were cold and he said, "Who are you and why are you talking nonsense here?" After saying this, the soldiers around him immediately pushed back the surrounding people a few meters.
The common people were not fools. They were also afraid that they would have time to listen to the scandal of such a wealthy family and would not have time to live, so they all cooperated and retreated.
The young master sat quietly on the horse, guessing that those people could not hear him at such a distance, so he spoke again, "Do you know that even the daughter of the Xie family will be imprisoned and tortured for cheating the Wu Palace?"
< br>
His meaning when he said this was very clear. One was to warn the unidentified person in the sedan chair, and the other was to warn the current girl who was talking so shamelessly.
Xie Fengyu was completely out of breath. She quickly walked towards Xie Fengrou, who was alone in front of her, and pulled her hair mercilessly, with an angry look on her face, "You are embarrassing my Xie family in front of the people of Yong'an City,"< br>
Xie Fengrou staggered as she was pulled away, but she looked at her with an unconvinced look and said sternly, "Sister Yu, do you want only the people of Yong'an City to know, or do you want to wait until the Dongchuang Incident happens, and everyone in Qian'an will know that Chen County Xie's deception Married to Wu Palace.”
Xie Fengyu paused when he wanted to dodge her hand. She glanced at the sedan chair hesitantly, thought for a moment and then said, "How do you know."
Xie Fengrou raised her chin slightly and looked arrogant, "Does Xie Fengyue think she can do it perfectly? My maid heard Huanxue in her room today saying she wanted to wear the same makeup as her girl, and she even wore it. Xie Fengyue’s wedding dress!”
Xie Fengrou continued to speak with a sworn look, "That Huanxue appeared in Xie's mansion inexplicably, and he looks so similar to Xie Fengyue. Xie Fengyue returned a while ago"
Xie Fengyu's face turned darker and darker as she listened, and he interrupted her directly. She had never thought she was so stupid before, but she actually wanted to say that Xie Fengyue had escaped from marriage in front of Young Master An.
"You just rely on these trivial things to talk nonsense in front of so many people?"
"Of course not!" Xie Fengrou stopped talking. She really didn't dare to make such a conclusion because of such a trivial matter. She felt strange after meeting Xie Fengyue in Baozhuang Pavilion. Logically speaking, her monthly routine was impossible. Went to Baozhuang Pavilion, but she was born, and she ran away the next day.
So she set about asking the people left behind by her parents to investigate.
She went to check what Zhezhi had been doing in and out of Xie's house before. Zhezhi didn't find anything, but she found out that Li Xiaobao, whom she brought back from outside, had been moving around a lot recently, buying horses and dry food. That man was just a criminal. Slave, if this money was not given by the master, who else could it be?
Xie Fengyue was about to get married, and she asked her servants to buy some things needed for a long journey. It didn't seem right, so she simply took advantage of the crowd of people in Xie Fengyue's room today and asked her maid to deliver the things. Let's go check it out.
Then I saw Hua Rui dressing up Huan Xue in the cubicle. She could barely pass it by using the same lipstick. How could the flower patch on her forehead be the same as the master's painting?
All these anomalies could only show that Xie Fengyue wanted Huan Xue to marry her. She had already run away once, and now Xie Fengrou felt it was logical to run away a second time.
Seeing Xie Fengrou firmly denying it, there was nothing more to say. Xie Fengyu just wanted to strangle this idiot to death. If she hadn't been concerned about the crowd, she would have kicked her to death.
"Get back here quickly, don't be embarrassed here! If your parents come out later, you may have to be sent back to your uncle's house today!"
When Xie Fengrou heard that she was being sent back to her uncle's house, her body trembled slightly. The next moment, she stiffened her neck as if she had eaten a weight and replied, "If you don't believe me, sister Yu, just let Xie Fengyue get off the sedan and show her face."
