Chapter 45: Marriage

Situ Ningbing's trip to Shuiyue Nunnery did not delay the trip to send off relatives, and the mighty team arrived in Longxi as scheduled, first lived in the post house for three days, and then carried the sedan chair into the Anguo Mansion on the fourth day. The marriage of the princely general is naturally very lively, and the sound of drums and bamboos does not stop at night, until the noise in the middle of the moon gradually fades away. Situ Ningbing sat quietly in the red Luo tent, and she couldn't see the layout of the room because of Xipa, but the aroma of the incense burning in the incense burner made her bored. "See mercy...!" she called again and again, but never heard the sound of pushing the door in, and was wondering where she had gone, when she heard a "squeak" as if someone had come in, followed by the sound of wheels rolling across the ground, and then "squeak", this time the sound of the door closing.

"Miss Situ hasn't seen you for a long time, don't come unharmed. The man Qingyue's voice sounded like a jade sheng, and somehow Situ Ningbing's originally steady heartbeat was a little chaotic, with a faint hint of expectation. "I've been living a peaceful life for a long time. Situ Ningbing thought secretly.

Panicked for a moment, Situ Ningbing's heartbeat quickly returned to normal, raised her hand to reveal Xipa, and looked in the direction of the person, she only felt that her heart was beating twice. This time it has nothing to do with anything else, I'm really confused by beauty. Li Jiayi's appearance was outstanding, and today, he is dressed in a bright red wedding dress and the candle flame is lit up, making him more and more handsome, and his son is unique. Especially those eyes were as bright as stars in the dark night, and Situ Ningbing stared at him like this and lost his mind.

The new room suddenly fell into a strange silence, and when Situ Ningbing came back to her senses, she couldn't help but feel embarrassed, and what was even more embarrassing was that her hand still maintained the action of revealing Xipa, just like that, twisting a horn and hanging stiffly in the air, and Li Jiayi's expression of "I didn't see anything" made her even more embarrassed! Fortunately, she was thick-skinned enough, and she was only embarrassed for a moment before she took off Xipa casually, and then Li Jiayi's words politely said: "Each other, Chang'an is goodbye to Li Gongzi's demeanor." ”

Somehow, as soon as Li Jiayi finished saying this, he smiled, this smile was really like ice melting snow and returning to the earth, almost dazzling Situ Ningbing's eyes again, in order to avoid being confused again, Situ Ningbing lowered his eyes slightly and didn't look at him. I only heard him say with a smile: "In this situation, you and I are okay with the left sentence Miss Childe and the right sentence, is it inevitably out of place?"

Situ Ningbing had adjusted his mood and raised his eyes to look at him, and also learned his tone and smiled: "I'm afraid that it's not Miss Gongzi who is out of place, but this wedding?" ”

Li Jiayi looked at her silently for a while, and without saying a word, she took the jade pot on the red sandalwood carved round table next to her and bowed her head slightly: "Offended!"

There was a crisp sound of "bang", and the sound of the jade pot breaking alarmed the maids and women guarding outside the room, and just as they were hesitating to go in and take a look, the sound of fierce quarrels mixed with the sound of falling things kept coming out of the house.

Although the night is dark, but the banquet of Anguo Mansion is lively, the host An Guogong pulled Situ Jihua to introduce the dignitaries and dignitaries of Longxi, and a group of people complimented each other with great interest, but at this time, the chief steward of Anguo Mansion quietly rubbed to An Guogong's side and whispered a few words, An Guogong's originally happy face changed a few times in an instant, and he apologized to everyone and found a reason to slip away, although everyone was confused, they didn't dare to ask more, they should still eat and drink. Only Situ Jihua frowned, he was closest to An Guogong, and his ears were so good that he faintly heard the words "Shizi, young lady, trouble...", a bad premonition came to his heart, lest something happen to Situ Ningbing, and he couldn't care about the toast of the people around him anymore, so he got up and left the table and quietly went to the direction of the new house in the backyard of Anguo Mansion.

When I got to the place, I saw people coming in and out of the new house, the house was in a mess, there were fragments of cups and bowls everywhere, wine and fruits were spilled all over the ground, and even the two dragon and phoenix candles burning on the wedding platform were crooked, looking at the scene in front of him, Situ Jihua almost suspected that the Anguo Mansion had entered the robbers!

"Where are your sons and young ladies?" asked a maid who was coming out of the new house.

The maid looked up at him and hesitated whether to say it, Situ Jihua had already seen her hesitation, and immediately reported to the door: "I am the brother of your young lady." ”

"Oh!" The maid suddenly realized that she didn't hesitate any longer, raised her hand and pointed to the west chamber and replied: "The prince and the young lady were called to the west wing by the lady. Then he added, "The slave and maid will guide the child." Saying that, he led Situ Jihua to the west wing first.

Before I entered the door, I heard a sound of reprimand, "The wedding night was so noisy, and you have lost the face of my Anguo Mansion!

Hearing this, Situ Jihua only felt a fire in his heart, and he sped up his pace and said loudly: "The younger Situ Jihua asks to see his aunt and uncle. "Anger is angry, but the number of etiquette can't be lost, otherwise it's really true that he has no tutor in the Situ family!

"It's Situ Xian's nephew here, please come in!" After a short silence, An Guogong's voice came out of the house, and the two maids guarding the door had already opened the curtain with great vigour to welcome Situ Jihua in.

Entering the bright room, Situ Jihua first looked around, only to see An Guogong and a middle-aged woman sitting on the first Arhat bed, Li Jiayi on the left who was dressed in a happy robe and frosty, and Situ Ningbing who was also dressed in bright red but was crying on the back of the chair.

Situ Jihua held back his anger, saluted the first two as calmly as possible, and called, "Uncle Li, Aunt Li." ”

"Hmph!" Mrs. Li turned a deaf ear to Situ Jihua, but An Guogong could barely squeeze out a smile and nodded at him: "Virtuous nephew doesn't need to be polite, since he is here, help us persuade this little couple." ”

Situ Jihua didn't ask An Guogong what happened, he walked straight to Situ Ningbing, squatted down, patted her on the back, helped her calm down, and coaxed softly: "Sister, what's wrong with you? Why are you crying so sadly? Who bullied you? Sue Brother SΓΉ, I will definitely help you get angry!"

As soon as his voice fell, Mrs. Li's side exploded, and the short table on Luohan's bed was shocked by her, "Who bullied her! Who dares to bully her?! Your Situ family's daughter is so powerful, she dares to fight with her husband on the wedding night, where is this the daughter of the family! I think even the shrews in the market will be ashamed to see her!"

"Madam!" Situ Jihua raised his eyebrows and was about to retort, An Guogong couldn't sit still, "You can't say that, even if the daughter-in-law is wrong, but a slap can't make a sound, if Jiayi lets her do something, why is it like this? Both are at fault, if you want to scold, you should also scold the two together, how can anyone only scold the daughter-in-law!" In the end, An Guogong glanced at Situ Jihua and gave Mrs. Li a look.

Mrs. Li acted as if she hadn't seen it, and still went her own way: "Everything and both are wrong! A woman has three obedience and four virtues, and even if her husband does something wrong, she should be persuaded gently, so that the rules and principles are right, how can you fight if you don't agree with each other? Which family's rules and etiquette are these?!" She said the rules on the left and the etiquette on the right, and every word pointed directly to Situ's tutoring problem, even if Situ Jihua was well-cultivated, he couldn't bear it at this time, but Situ Ningbing was one step ahead of him.

She didn't refute Mrs. Li's words, but cried even more sadly, raised a pair of teary eyes and looked at her brother and choked up: "Big brother, when you go back, you can do more filial piety for me in front of my parents." Mother's throat is not very good, it is easy to cough when the season changes, you have a snack and ask the doctor and the people to pay more attention... Also, my father's legs and feet used to be injured, and they were most likely to attack when it was rainy and cold, do you remember to ask the sewing room to make more knee pads for him..."She told Situ Jihua as if she had confessed her last words, although she did not justify Mrs. Li's accusation, but immediately put Mrs. Li and even the entire Anguo Mansion into a situation of bullying and unreasonableness.

Mrs. Li opened her mouth to scold several times, but was secretly stopped by the grandmother next to her, and her face turned red. And An Guogong's face next to her is not good-looking, according to his meaning, this is not a big deal, the young couple each teach a few words and persuade for a while, and it will be over, who knows that the old wife is so uncooperative and has to hold on to her daughter-in-law, and she also sarcastically ridiculed Situ in front of her brother for not having a tutor, where is this marriage is clearly to make a feud!

Finally, when Situ Ningbing finished explaining, An Guogong just wanted to say a few words to ease the atmosphere, but Situ Jihua had already taken his sister's words and began to ask the teacher. "Uncle Li" Situ Jihua turned his head to look at An Guogong, although he squatted down, his momentum did not decrease at all, "The younger generation knows that the younger sister is only shallow in learning, and her reasoning is not as high as the noble son, if it is not for the decree of the saint, she will not be able to enter the door of your Li family, and it is understandable that the house is not angry with the juniors." However, this holy decree is under His Majesty, if you have any dissatisfaction, you can appeal to Your Majesty, why bother to give up your sister?"

One pretended to be pitiful and sympathetic, and the other openly and secretly implicated him in resisting the decree, but how could the quarrel between the young couple get bigger and bigger? If this reaches the ears of the emperor in the capital, it will be provoked by someone with a heart......

An Guogong didn't have time to think about it, because Li Jiayi's cold tone pulled him back to reality. "Brother Situ is too modest, Sister Ling is born noble, with sound limbs, forced to marry me, a disabled person, where is Gao Pan?
