Volume 2 Chapter 36 The Shadow Returns

At three o'clock in the afternoon, under the busyness of a group of people, the flowing water mat of the torturer began,

A table was also set up in the lobby, except for an elder brother from the Chen family, there were only people from the Zhao family, the county official.

However, the Chen family came with a mission, that is, to set a day to welcome relatives.

In the morning, Xing's father had already made a special trip to Chen's house, and told Xing Shengbin that he had to rush to Kyoto at the end of next year, and the two discussed setting a date as soon as possible, so as not to delay the affairs of Dali Temple at that time.

Dali Temple is not our small city and county government, here we have the final say, it is a place to eat people without spitting out bones, it is better to observe the time.

This is not an elder brother of the Chen family, so he came over today, and the two families began to discuss the time to welcome their relatives.

The cumbersome old rites made Xing Shengbin, who was parked on the side, only raise his eyebrows, what is Nacai asking the name Najib, what kind of thing is this.

Because he didn't understand, Xing Shengbin could only watch from the sidelines, but fortunately, the matchmaker also came today, and she was chatting with her mother in the room!

didn't eat much, Xing Shengbin was dragged by his father to the tailor's shop, made clothes, and chose a dowry, which was also too anxious.

Before the flowing water banquet was dispersed, the criminal family had already begun to prepare for the wedding banquet again, not only the criminal family, but also the Chen family began to prepare, and for a while, half of the city of Fancheng seemed to be mobilized, mainly because it was the end of the year, and things were really difficult to get.

When Xing Shengbin returned home in the evening, Liu Rushi and her mother had already begun to cut the words of happiness, pasted window flowers, and hung red paper lanterns.

Xing Shengbin, who just wanted to go to sleep, was called up by his mother again and began to sort out the dowry.

Stacked in the parents' room, colored satin, silk, cloth, all need to be packed and sorted out and pasted with red paper seals.

Looking at the fifty or sixty pieces of cloth on the bed, Xing Shengbin asked suspiciously:

"Do you need to pack these! Send them to the Chen family, not for us to buy them ourselves!"

The mother smiled and said:

"Silly boy, this is a dowry for that side, how can it be less, tomorrow I have to exchange a few taels of gold, press the box, the dowry is unlucky with silver and no gold. I have to buy dragon and phoenix candles again, there are many things!"

Xing Shengbin looked at the things on the bed, took out a few gold ingots and asked, how much do you need, I have some here, is it enough to press the bottom of the box.

In the case of the torture mother's shouting of defeat, only two ingots and five taels of gold ingots, ten taels of gold, and fifty taels of silver were left, which were enough, after all, it was a small family.

Originally, I just wanted to change two or three taels of gold to support the scene, but I didn't expect Xing Shengbin to take out thirty or forty taels all of a sudden, and the criminal mother hurriedly asked Xing Shengbin to put it away, leaving only ten taels.

With the help of the criminal mother and Liu Rushi, the whole colored satin silk cloth was rearranged, folded, and put into the box one by one.

There is no curfew in Fancheng, as evidenced by the fact that the criminal father is still busy working outside at night.

In the second half of the night, when it was dark, the big red sedan chair had been carried to the prisoner's house, and a large pile of messy things was piled up in half of the yard.

I never felt that getting married was such a troublesome thing, especially in such an era.

After living such a big sentence, Sheng Bin finally knows what are the three media and six certificates, and the three media are the matchmakers of both men and women, plus the matchmakers of the two sides.

Originally, I thought that the two families had changed the Geng post, and I didn't do it without a matchmaker, but I didn't expect to be almost beaten to death by my mother, no three media is not in harmony with the rules, and if you don't comply with the rules, you are a wild mandarin duck, and you will be privately determined for life, and the women need to dip in the pig cage, and the men need to carry the pole and be exposed to the sun.

It's no wonder that the mother of punishment will be angry and do it, as for the six certificates, they are the scissors, combs, mirrors, buckets, scales, and abacus of ordinary people.

If it weren't for his mother's explanation, Xing Shengbin wouldn't have known until he died, it turned out that the six certificates were like this.

Tailoring, scissors as evidence. Comb your hair, as evidenced by your comb. Whether the face is good or not, the mirror is the proof. The size of two catties is evidenced by the scale. Excessive rice noodles, bucket as proof. Settle the accounts, as evidenced by the abacus.

Xing Shengbin has never had a day, he is tired and wants to sleep because of marriage. From morning to night, I was not idle, and now I recall that it was a free marriage in my previous life, and it was more comfortable, and at that time, it seemed that there was no wedding.

and his daughter-in-law, because of professional problems, everything is simple, and after two friends who don't know each other, they got married on that cruise ship, how can there be so many cumbersome things!

On the fifth day after Xing Shengbin returned home, the two families had already completed a series of preparations.

The wedding date was set on the day of the New Year, and the day before the New Year, Xing Shengbin finally completed all the preparations and waited for the dawn to marry the bride.

Xing Shengbin, who was wearing a big red robe and leaning on the bed and was staring at him, suddenly felt a gust of cold wind.

Although I haven't slept well for several days and am very tired, my alertness as a killer has not been lost because of this.

Xing Shengbin sat up abruptly and looked at the door.

I don't know when the door was opened, and the deadbolt that had been hung was now hanging down on the door.

I remember that the door was closed, and the deadbolt was inserted in place, so why was the door blown open!

After a few days of busyness, Xing Shengbin's brain reacted a little slowly, and he was about to get up and close the door, when a familiar and unfamiliar voice came from the corner of the house:

"Why, I was carried away by my own happy day, and my vigilance was lowered. ”

The appearance of the voice made Xing Shengbin immediately alert, and the six-grade long sword in the soldier's cave instantly appeared in his hand, and when he was on the waist of Mo Xiang in his left hand, he felt empty.

This is when Xing Shengbin remembered that on a happy day, it was not suitable to carry a sharp weapon, so he put the dagger under the pillow, but he didn't expect to be touched again.

Xing Shengbin looked at the dark place in the corner of the wall, this time there was no dark shadow at all, the figure was completely hidden in the dark space, Xing Shengbin held a long sword and asked:

"What do you mean, Your Excellency? ”

An indifferent voice came from the corner:

"You're on the list again, should I say you're lucky, or should I say you're unlucky!"

Xing Shengbin glared and asked:

"Nightshade's list, but it seems that this is not a bounty from Your Excellency. ”

The black shadow smiled and said:

"Yes, the Lingnan Zeng family took out 10,000 taels of silver to buy your life, and the task is on the C list, how can you ~ not be surprised!"

Xing Shengbin put away his weapon and said with a smile:

"It's been expected. ”

As he spoke, he lifted the front of the big red robe, sat down on the bench and said:

"I blamed the death of the fourth master of the Zeng family on the head of your Night Shadow, whether the old man Zeng believes it or not, he will want my life, but I am an official, this old boy will not let the Zeng family get involved in it again, and Night Shadow may be his only choice. ”

A shadow stepped out of the shadows, also sitting at the table, his face covered with a face that could see nothing but a pair of eyes.

Xing Shengbin stared at this person's eyes, obviously not seeing any movement of the masked mouth, but the voice of the man in black came out:

"Yes, and a little clever, give you a gift, do you want to. ”
