Chapter 41: Clues

Shen Jingyuan and Su Wanxi sat down, Ye Feng stood behind the two of them because of his identity, Su Wanxi knew a little about the folk customs and customs, and invited Ye Feng to sit down so as not to attract attention.

From their point of view, the double happiness hangs high in the main hall, an old couple in the hall sits upright, and below is the groom and the bride in wedding clothes. On either side are the rest of the family and friends.

An old gentleman stood aside and shouted, "Worship heaven and earth!"

The bridegroom and the bride covered with a hippa bowed down to heaven and earth.

"Second worship high hall!"

"Husband and wife worship each other!"

Su Wanxi looked at the couple in front of her, and the fragrance of apricot blossoms seemed to rush into her nose, stirring every tiny nerve in her mouth. The two bow their heads to each other, this worship is the fate of a lifetime, and this worship is the fate of a lifetime.

Shen Jingyuan deliberately peeked at Wanxi, but found that she was staring at the newcomer in front of her without noticing her gaze. There was always a sadness hidden in her eyes, but at this moment there was a smile like smoke on her lips.

After the bride and groom kowtowed, the bridegroom opened the bride's wedding in front of all relatives and friends, and at that moment, the man's hands trembled slightly. This is a local folklore, and unlike in other places, the hippa is opened in front of everyone, and then the groom and the bride are required to toast to the relatives and friends present.

Looking at the newcomer Licheng, Shen Jingyuan also felt quite emotional in his heart.

"The people are happy. Wanxi said lightly, retracting her gaze and looking at the dishes on the table, although they are not delicacies from the mountains and seas, they are quite appetizing.

"Why?"

"Look at the palace, in addition to the main palace, which woman has also enjoyed the phoenix crown. But in this world, every woman is looking forward to that side of the mandarin duck Xipa. "Looking forward to the moment when Xipa was opened, it was like seeing the face of my lover for the first time after being reborn.

"Heh, that's the case?" Shen Jingyuan's expression was subtle, he picked up the chopsticks and ate something, tasted it a little, and then smiled, "It tastes good!"

Halfway through the meal, the bride and groom greeted them with wine glasses, first had a drink with a few familiar villagers, and then the groom raised his glass to Shen Jingyuan, Wanxi, and Ye Feng and said: "There are friends from afar!

Shen Jingyuan also had no fight, got up and saluted: "Congratulations!"

"Thank you. The bride smiled and toasted them.

Su Wanxi also got up and raised her glass and smiled: "I really envy you." She looked at the appearance of the couple, both men and women were not young, the man was sturdy, as if he had been doing farm work in the field all the year round, and the woman was delicate and lovely, which made people think that she had never been in the sun in the boudoir.

After a few people drank each other, the bride asked, "A few people passing by here, it's getting late, why don't you stay overnight?"

Shen Jingyuan said: "Don't bother with this, you two are newly married Yan'er, let's leave after we finish our work." ”

Su Wanxi looked up at the sky slightly, then looked at the bride and smiled slightly: "If you don't dislike it, I really want to stay here for one night, so I can get your joy." ”

The bride still smiled: "How can you dislike it, a few people are estimated to be far away, and we should also do our best to be the landlord." ”

After a few greetings, the newcomer continued to toast others, and Shen Jingyuan asked Su Wanxi, "Why do you want to stay overnight?"

"I just want to see more apricot blossoms. Su Wanxi said calmly, and Yu Guang looked at the direction of the newcomer and thought a little.

When night fell, the guests also went home one after another, and Shen Jingyuan, Su Wanxi, and Ye Feng stayed as promised. learned that the groom's name is Liu Cheng, and the bride is from Peach Blossom Village next door, called Hong'er.

After asking many people, I learned that there was no girl named Liu Yue in Xinghua Village, and even in several nearby villages, there was no girl named Liu Yue.

"That's it, presumably the evidence that should be eliminated that the murderer has already been extinguished in advance. The candlelight flickered, Wanxi and Shen Jingyuan sat opposite each other in the room, while Ye Feng stood vigilantly aside, paying attention to the wind and grass outside the window.

Shen Jingyuan's face was a little ugly, and he didn't speak.

Su Wanxi said again: "Come from afar, you should take a break, the prince is busy in the palace all day long, and it is rare to take a few days to relax." ”

"The murderer is too cunning. "Shen Jingyuan actually thought of such a result when he agreed to leave the palace, and he might not necessarily find useful clues when he came here, so the reason why he agreed at that time was ...... Shen Jingyuan glanced at Wanxi lightly, and a hint of helplessness flashed in his eyes.

Su Wanxi noticed that he swept over herself, slightly uncomfortable with that kind of gaze, silent for a moment, and then got up and bowed back: "It's not early, let's rest." ”

Shen Jingyuan looked at Wanxi's departing back, and the emotions in his eyes became more and more responsible, this woman, he really couldn't see through, inexplicably distressed, inexplicably involved, and inexplicably worried.

After Su Wanxi came out of Shen Jingyuan's resting place, a rather contemptuous smile appeared on her face, and then she turned around and walked towards the room where the word "happy" was posted.

Before it is time to fall asleep, the door of the newlyweds' room is still open, after all, it is the wedding night, the customs are different, as long as it is not time to go to bed, relatives and friends can also go to bless the newlyweds in person.

When Su Wanxi entered, Liu Cheng's high hall came out of the room, she politely said hello, and went straight to the happy room.

"It's Miss Su. Liu Cheng saw that someone was coming again, and hurriedly stepped forward to greet him.

Hong'er, who was still wearing a wedding dress on the side, hurriedly poured tea.

Su Wanxi smiled softly: "I really envy you, I can't help but want to come over and say a few words to Miss Hong'er." Su Wanxi looked at Hong'er, who poured tea for herself, and cast envious eyes.

Hong'er unintentionally saw Su Wanxi looking at herself, and her hand couldn't help shaking, but she reacted quickly, the tea did not splash, and she handed the tea to her with a light smile and said, "Is Miss Su married? ”

Su Wanxi didn't answer and asked, as if she suddenly remembered something: "By the way, Miss Hong'er, it's too late for you and Brother Liu to get married, right?"

Hong'er's face froze, but Liu Cheng grinned and said: "Hong'er just came back, a few years ago she went to the city with her father to do some business, and we hurriedly got married as soon as we came back." ”

"Oh~" Su Wanxi nodded slightly, but looked at Hong'er with a deep smile and said, "Miss Hong'er, there are a few words I want to talk to you about alone, okay?"

Hong'er's expression stiffened, and she looked straight at Su Wanxi and couldn't speak for a long time.

However, Liu Cheng didn't notice Hong'er's abnormality, got up and said, "I know that there are endless whispers between your girls' families, okay, I'll go out and wait." ”

"I'm sorry to trouble Brother Liu. Wanxi said lightly.

After Liu Cheng went out, he closed the door again, and Wanxi slowly hooked the corners of her lips, looked at Hong'er with a sly gaze and said, "Girl, your way of pouring tea is similar to that of the people in the palace." ”

Hong'er smiled and said, "Miss Su is really good at laughing, I'm just a girl from the countryside, how can I know anything about the palace?"

Su Wanxi said slowly: "When I entered the palace, I was nominally the emperor's woman." If I were you, I would also tell the person I love that I was going out to do business, so that the man I love will not dislike me. Right, Liu Yue?"

Hong'er changed color suddenly, didn't dare to look at Su Wanxi, and hurriedly said, "I don't know what you said Liu Yue, Miss Su must have recognized the wrong person, right?"

"From the first time I saw you today, I was a little suspicious, marrying at such an age, behaving very cautiously, facing guests is also exquisite, plus the appearance of you pouring tea, a habit that has been developed for many years, but it is difficult to change it overnight. As for the name, there is no way to verify it, using the surname of the person you love as your own surname, when people call you by this name, how much happiness is in your heart, right?" Su Wanxi analyzed bit by bit, looking directly at Hong'er.

Hong'er's face became paler and paler, and she bit her lip and said, "I don't know what you said!"

Su Wanxi smiled softly, got up slowly, and said, "You don't know." Then I wish you all the best if you have the chance. Hehehe. Su Wanxi laughed a few times and prepared to leave.

Hong'er was like being struck by lightning, and hurriedly knelt on the ground: "I beg you not to hurt Brother Liu!"

Su Wanxi raised her lips and smiled, turned around elegantly and looked at Hong'er condescendingly, "Then tell me everything you know." ”
