"Eldest Prince?" Ah Fu hurriedly rubbed his old eyes, and when he saw clearly that it was indeed the eldest prince Wenji, he was very shocked and said, "Eldest Prince, how did you become like this? Why did you carry a sword on your back? Why is there a cat squatting on your shoulder?"

"It's a long story, I'll go to the house to wash up, and I'll tell Uncle Ah Fu when I have time. Wen Ji said, bowed slightly, and strode into the Tan Mansion.

The servants of the Tan Mansion had already come and gone to work, and suddenly saw a strange-shaped scholar walk into the mansion, and they were surprised one by one, and when they found out that it was the eldest prince, they were even more surprised, and they passed the news one after another.

In just a moment, the news of the eldest prince's strange return spread all over the Tan Mansion.

Wenji went to wash up and heard that his father was already waiting in the hall, so he took the Tongguang saber in his hand and hurried to meet him.

Gongying was already sitting on the wooden chair in the main hall of the hall, his expression was quiet, and Steward Liu was still standing on the left.

Yan Ling sat on the wooden chair on the lower right, and Xiao Hua stood behind him, both of them with faces as heavy as water, and they looked very reserved.

Wenji walked into the hall quickly, stepped forward and saluted, "The child greets his father." ”

"Kier, what are you...... What are you doing?" Gongying had already heard the news, and when he saw it with his own eyes, he was still surprised, "Where did the sword in your hand come from? Why do you still have a cat squatting on your shoulder?"

Wenji thought for a moment, and then thought of a reasonable statement: "Father: This sword and the cat are both given by the younger brother, this sword is given to the child to go to the Three Immortal Caves of Hanging Pot Mountain to kill the demon and save the mother, and this cat is given to the child to accompany him during his filial piety." ”

"It was sent by Ji'er, since Ji'er is back, why don't you go home and have a look?"

However, in a few days, the temples of the public screening were completely gray, and the spirit was not as good as before, obviously the matter of the rise of immortals in the day could not convince him, it was just a pretense to deal with everyone in the village. At this moment, Wenji found that his father was much older, and he felt very sad in his heart, because he had been wearing the dual identities of Tan Wenji and Fengxue Pavilion.

At this moment, he was determined to do a good job in the role of Tan Wenji!

Therefore, he was relieved: "Brother Ji did not come in person, but only sent a boy. ”

"Oh...... That's right. The public was slightly relieved.

Wenji continued: "The child came back today to tell his father that the child decided to go to the Three Immortal Caves of Hanging Pot Mountain to save his mother's soul. ”

"Go to the Three Immortal Caves of Hanging Hushan Mountain to rescue your mother's soul......?" I remembered for my father: After your mother killed herself that day, a golden bead jumped out of her head, and she thought that the golden bead was your mother's soul, but unfortunately it had been taken away by the demon. Gongying vaguely remembered that when Mrs. killed herself, a gold bead jumped out of her head, only that the golden bead was the soul of Mrs. Zhou, but she didn't know that it was the spirit of the Buddha.

Wen Ji naturally didn't want to say it, so he echoed: "What my father said is that the gold bead is my mother's soul. ”

"W-when are you going to go?"

"The child is ready to go today. ”

"Going today?" Gongying said in shock, "Ji'er, those demons are very vicious, you must not act recklessly." ”

"Please rest assured, father, the name of the sword in my hand is 'Tongguang Sword', it is a fairy sword that slays demons and destroys demons, and the children have not yet put it in their eyes. Wenji said, in order to make his father believe it, so he shouted: "Out of the sheath with the light!"

But when he heard a "whoosh", the same light saber came out of its sheath, and the tip of the sword hung more than a meter above Wenji's head in the sky, motionless, and the sword light flashed.

"Return to the sheath with the light!" Wenji shouted again, and sure enough, there was a "whoosh" sound, and the Tongguang sword fell into the scabbard on its own.

In addition to Yan Ling, Gongying and everyone present, you look at me, I look at you, they are all shocked, they never thought that this sword was really an extraordinary fairy sword!

Gongying frowned, thought for a while, and said, "Ji'er, even if you have this fairy sword to slay demons, my father still can't promise you." ”

"Father, why is this? Mother's soul has been captured by demons, and she is suffering day and night, and the child wants to go to the rescue every day, and today there is this fairy sword to help, so please ask the father to agree to the child. Wenji pleaded.

"Huh...... Ji'er, you just want to save your mother, have you ever thought about Ling'er, although she is the daughter-in-law of my Tan family, but due to frequent accidents at home, it has been delayed again and again, and she has not yet married you, if you go here, there are three long and two short, how can I explain to Ling'er, how to explain to Ling'er's parents under Jiuquan?"

Wen Ji Weishi was bent on saving his mother, and inadvertently ignored Yan Ling, and at this time, he was suddenly reminded by his father, so he glanced at Yan Ling, who was sitting on the side, as if he was much more stable than before, and couldn't help but feel guilty suddenly, and he was at a loss for a while, dumbfounded.

When Gongying mentioned the matter of getting married, Yan Ling was naturally embarrassed to answer, so she had to sit there shyly without saying a word.

Everyone fell silent, and the hall fell silent, as if they could feel the invasion of the residual heat outside the hall.

After a while, Steward Liu suddenly spoke: "Master, from the perspective of the old servant: this lady can be saved, and this parent can also be successful." ”

"Old butler: Do you have any way to get the best of both worlds?" asked Gongying.

"I just counted the days, Mrs. died has not passed a hundred days, within a hundred days can let the eldest prince and Miss Yan Ling marry, this is the old rule, called 'borrowing filial piety', the old servant vaguely remembers that the old man and Mrs. also acted like this, so at least the real name can be given to Miss Yan Ling first, saving others from gossiping in the future; ”

"Well, what the butler said is true. Gongying was silent for a long time, and agreed, "Until now, there is only 'marriage through filial piety', and the real name and real share are given to Ling'er first, and it will be good to deal with things in the house in the future." Old butler, you will go and ask someone to choose the auspicious day for Ji'er and Ling'er to marry today. ”

"Yes, sir, the old servant will do it. After Steward Liu finished speaking, he bowed and exited the hall.

Gongying said: "Ji'er Ling'er, this 'marriage through filial piety' has existed since ancient times, and it is a last resort, today my father will make the decision for you, and when the auspicious day is chosen, the two of you will get married immediately." ”

"It's all up to my father. Wenji bowed his head and replied.

"It's all up to my father. Yan Ling shyly stood up and saluted.

The two could have been married a long time ago, but it was only because of the repeated changes in the house recently that it has been delayed until now.

At that time, breakfast was ready, and the maid Xiaoyu entered the hall to call for food.

Gongying then got up and left his seat, accompanied by Wenji and Yan Ling, and walked out of the hall.

Xiaohua cautiously followed Yan Ling's side, with a sweet and beautiful face.

It was almost in the afternoon when it was time to apply, Steward Liu returned to Tan's Mansion and reported to the old man the auspicious day for marriage.

Because there were only five or six days left to reach Mrs. Zhou's 100-day sacrifice, they were selected and selected in these five or six days, and finally finalized on September 16, that is, the auspicious day of marriage in another day.

After hearing the news of the release, he was very anxious, so he instructed the housekeeper to act quickly, including rewriting the wedding card to invite relatives and friends, and redecorating the wedding room and mansion. One of the most regrettable is that Xu Dou and his wife could not rush from Wuhu Qingshui Town to Wanling Huayang Town to attend Yan Ling's wedding in one day.

Other than that, everything else had been prepared, so the steward instructed it, and everything was going on in an orderly manner.

At sunset, all parts of Tan Mansion are lit up and refreshed, filled with a joyful atmosphere.

A Zhuang Ke passed by to ask, only to know: the eldest son of Tanfu "married through filial piety". For a while, the rumors in Tanjiazhuang spread again.

After dinner, the public film walked around to watch and inspect, and witnessed a festive scene, and there was an indescribable sadness in my heart:

"Back then, my wife and I were 'married through filial piety', and now Ji'er and Ling'er are also 'married through filial piety'; Mrs. and her parents are both dead and lonely, and Ling'er is also a lonely and miserable husband and uncle, even if she has an uncle and aunt, but unfortunately she can't come to her wedding.

Since the hands of my father Ao Xianggong, I have been kind to others and dare not do anything unkind, but why did my father die early in the prime of life, my wife Fanghua died early, and my son Wenji died early at a young age? How could my Tan family end up like this, is it really related to the fact that it was cut off for 400 years? God, if there is any disaster that befalls my Tan Mansion, then let me Tan Gongying bear it alone, and don't befall my Ji'er and Ling'er again. ”

Gongyingsi's house suffered frequent accidents, and he sighed and sighed, and returned to the bedroom in a huff, sitting lonely and sad.

Since Wen Ji appeared in the Tan Mansion Hall in the early morning with a sword in his hand and a cat squatting on his shoulder, Yan Ling had many doubts, but it has always been Wen Ji's father and son talking, and it is inconvenient for her to interject. Originally, I wanted to ask privately after breakfast, but the housekeeper proposed to "marry through filial piety", and in the past few days, Yan Ling was embarrassed to see Wenji again.

When she learned that the auspicious day of marriage was the day after tomorrow, Yan Ling didn't dare to go to Wenji blatantly, for fear that the maids and servants in the house would laugh at her: This is about to get married in a blink of an eye, and she is still so eager to cling to people, and she doesn't maintain a little bit of her daughter's reserve?

After being busy for a while, the maids and servants, including Xiaohua, were all very tired, and they had to get up early tomorrow to be busy, so they all went to bed early, so Yan Ling secretly came out alone to ask Wenji for questioning.

Wenji's bedroom was pitch black, and the lights in Wenji's bedroom were still on, so Yan Ling judged that Wenji must be in Wenji's bedroom.

She walked lightly into Wen Ji's bedroom, and sure enough, she saw Wen Ji sitting alone in the chair in front of the desk, silently pondering.

Although Yan Ling's footsteps were very light, he still alarmed Wen Ji.
