Chapter 20: The Wedding (6)
It took me a while to react, and I hurriedly came down the steps, helped an old man in front of me, and said to the people in front of me, "Fellow villagers, if there is anything going on, please get up and speak." ”
"Miss, we've finally found you... For some reason, just as I was asking them to get up, the old man I helped up on the side actually started crying, and kept wiping his tears with his sleeve, and everyone in front of me stared at me with red eyes.
I was shocked, the voice was so familiar. When I looked at it, sure enough, isn't this Duanjiazhuang's Cui Bo?
"Cui Bo, how did you find it?" Holding his big dry and rough hands, I felt a pang of regret in my heart, why couldn't I even recognize Cui Bo?
After a while, Cui Bo held back his sobs and said to me: "After the old man heard that the old man had an accident, he hurriedly led the villagers to Chang'an, and when he arrived, he realized that the old man had... Alas, I thought that there were no survivors in the mountain villa, and then I heard from the mountain people that I had seen the old man's daughter come back to pay tribute to the tomb, and returned the mountains and forests to the government, so we knew that Miss You are still there!"
Cui Bo pointed to Lao Li who was standing on the side and continued: "After we go back, we will keep inquiring about the whereabouts of the young lady, a few days ago Lao Li went back to tell us, saying that the prince is married, and the people in the market say that the princess's surname is Feng, but she is a person from Chang'an, we think it may be a young lady, so we came to see it together, it is really a big eye, and finally let us find you." ”
Cui Bo's words caused everyone to cry again, and I couldn't help but burst into tears: "Cui Bo, why don't you just say that you came to me, the doorkeepers will definitely not stop you." ”
At this time, Lao Li took over the conversation: "We are just guessing, the world is big, there are many coincidences, and the little ones are worried that if the new princess is not a young lady, we will not commit a felony of deceiving the prince." ”
"Okay, let him go over the past, isn't this still alive, Miss?" After Cui Bo helped me comfort everyone, he took my hand and came to the carriages tremblingly: "Miss, you see, these things are all prepared by us overnight, grain, medicinal materials, animal skins, native products, Lao Li also specially customized a batch of gold and silver jewelry, talking about our Duan family Zhuang's heart." ”
The back of the cow was covered with beads of sweat, and thinking that so many things were carried by the villagers and pulled over by the oxen, I couldn't help but feel a heartache in my heart: "Uncle Cui, why are you bringing so many things, I can't use them..."
I don't want Cui Bo's face to become serious at this time: "Then how can we do it, Miss, you married into the official family, how can we bear to see you wronged? The new daughter-in-law does not have a heavy dowry, and she can't eat it in the countryside, let alone the palace?"
Dowry? I looked at the sacks stacked more than a man high on several carriages, and it turned out that this was my dowry. Actually, I didn't tell Cui Bo, in his opinion, this heavy enough dowry may not be worth a moon pearl in the palace. Still, I couldn't laugh at all.
"Miss..."Cui Bo Nie said: "Although the master is gone, if you don't dislike it, you will put our Duanjiazhuang... Be your mother's home!"
"Who is making a noise here?" Unconsciously, there were more and more onlookers around him, and even Zhi Ze was alarmed, and walked out of the palace to check the situation.
"Meet the prince!" Seeing the prince come out, a group of people knelt on the ground to salute.
"Xiaoxiao, this is..."Zhize pointed to the people in front of him and looked at me suspiciously.
"Zhize, these people are my fellow villagers and friends. I wiped away my tears and introduced Zhize.
Zhi Ze's face immediately returned to calm, and he raised his hand and said, "You don't have to be polite, please get up quickly!"
Cui Bo slowly got up with the support of his companions, and the sadness on his face had already disappeared at this time, as if nothing had happened, he stepped forward with a smile and said: "I heard that my young lady is about to get married, so I specially prepared a small gift, and asked the prince to smile." ”
"This..."Zhi Ze was stunned when he looked at the mountains of "congratulatory gifts" on the ox cart in front of him, and his smile froze on his face, it was estimated that it was the first time he had seen such a chic dowry.
I hurriedly poked him, and Zhize reacted at this time, and said with a smile on his face: "Ah... Thank you, folks, come and move the things in the car. ”
Seeing that Zhize accepted the congratulatory gift with a smile, everyone had a smile on their faces. But when Zhize proposed to stay overnight and wait for tomorrow's wedding banquet, Cui Bo politely declined.
"Uncle Cui, why are you in such a hurry?" I was a little reluctant.
Cui Bo just smiled faintly: "Things at home are too busy, we have to go back as soon as possible, so I won't bother Miss here." ”
Traber took a few steps back and took a closer look at the surrounding streetscape, as if to confirm the address. Then he said to me: "Miss, the money and food that should be paid every month in the future will be sent to the house by the old man." ”
Before I could answer, Zhi Ze took over the conversation: "Old man, you don't need to send anything, Xiaoxiao is here, food and clothing are enough, you can keep it for yourself." Besides, we won't stay in Luoyang for long, and we will return to Hanzhong in a few days. ”
Cui Bo almost wanted to insist, but Zhize politely declined. At this moment, several servants pulled the ox cart out of the back door, and the ox cart was empty at this time, and the full load had been unloaded.
"In that case... Then we'll take our leave. After the people had saluted, they jumped into the ox carts and prepared to go on the road.
Before getting into the car, Cui Bo suddenly turned his head to look at me, and between his thin neck, the abrupt Adam's apple shook up and down: "Little... Miss, I must go back and have a look when I have time!"
"Definitely!" I nodded, holding back tears from my eyes.
