Chapter 40: The Marriage of Fan Jiang
Zhuge Ming glanced at the sun, "Ah, it's noon, and I made an appointment with Jiang Xiaojiang." So he hurriedly got up, ran out of the door, and ran towards the prime minister's mansion.
Zhuge Ming came to the place agreed with Jiang Xiaojiang yesterday, and Jiang Xiaojiang had been waiting for a long time.
Jiang Xiaojiang looked a little embarrassed when he saw Zhuge Ming, and said in a hesitant manner, "That, I inquired yesterday, and there were no living people in the house in the past two days, let alone injured people. That, this. Is it useful?"
After hearing this, Zhuge Ming looked like he hated iron but not steel, and stared at Jiang Xiaojiang, "I know that you can't be trusted." I'm still on my own. ”
Jiang Xiaojiang smiled bitterly, "This, I can't help it, it's really not." ”
Zhuge Ming snorted lightly, "Forget it." ”
Jiang Xiaojiang looked at the little gray ash in Zhuge Ming's arms expectantly, and asked tentatively, "Then can I touch the little gray gray?"
When Zhuge Ming heard this, his eyes widened, "What are you talking about? I don't have any useful information at all, and I still want to touch the little gray ash, think about it." ”
Jiang Xiaojiang himself felt a little embarrassed, pouted, and shrugged, "Okay then." ”
Zhuge Ming glanced at Jiang Xiaojiang, sighed, turned around and was about to leave.
Jiang Xiaojiang suddenly shouted, "By the way, I don't know what your name is?"
"Zhuge Ming. ”
"I remembered. Jiang Xiaojiang looked at Zhuge Ming's back, "Zhuge Ming, the day after tomorrow is my sister's wedding day, and we will see you again the day after tomorrow." You'll definitely take the initiative to let me touch the little ash. ”
"We'll see. ”
Jiang Xiaojiang stood in place, watching Zhuge Ming's figure fade away, and clenched his fists.
At night, Zhuge Ming sat by the window, looking at the night sky full of stars, wondering where Jun Mo had gone and whether something had happened to him before he came back.
Zhuge Ming sighed lightly, and thought of Kuncheng again, and there seemed to be a city burning with raging flames in front of him, on the wasteland, never extinguished. Zhuge Ming had mixed feelings in his heart, thinking of his father and mother, and unconsciously tears flowed from the corners of his eyes.
Knock knock.
The knock on the door remembered, "Has Ming'er slept?" Liu Shu's voice came.
Zhuge Ming hurriedly wiped away his tears, "Grandpa Liu, not yet." Come on in. ”
Liu Shu pushed open the door, "Ming'er, it's not early, you have to rest early." ”
"Well, is there something wrong with Grandpa Liu coming so late?"
Liu Shu patted his head, "Look at my brain, forget about business." The day after tomorrow is the wedding day of the eldest prince, so tomorrow the entire city will be forbidden, and you won't go out tomorrow. Tomorrow there will be many guests coming into the city one after another. Then the adult has not come back, and the wedding banquet the day after tomorrow can only be attended by you for the adult. ”
Zhuge Ming was stunned for a moment, "Do you still want to attend the wedding banquet? Why should I go? I don't want to go, Grandpa Liu." Or you can go for it. ”
Liu Shu hurriedly shook his head, "That's not good, my identity is not suitable." You are the apprentice of the adult, the adult has no heir, the apprentice is the son, you go is the most appropriate, we can't lose the courtesy. ”
"Okay. ”
A day later, as soon as the sky was bright, there was a team wearing red silk waiting outside the Guogong Mansion.
The prince with a red face walked into the Guogong Mansion, and a shrill voice came into the mansion, "Lord Guogong, the old slave has come to pick you up for the eldest prince's wedding banquet." ”
Liu Shu and Zhuge Ming walked out, Liu Shu said, "Princess, my family went out a few days ago, and I haven't come back yet, today's wedding banquet will be attended by my adult's apprentice Zhuge Ming for my lord." ”
Wang Gonggong's face was embarrassed, and he looked at Liu Shu and Zhuge Ming, "This ......."
Liu Shu smiled and nodded.
The prince thought for a moment, "Okay, then let Young Master Zhuge Ming get in the car, and I will take Young Master Zhuge Ming into the palace." ”
Zhuge Ming followed the prince into the carriage, the horses were tied with red flowers, the carriage was also red, there was no one on the street, and it was full of red lanterns. The houses on both sides were full of people, and people looked through the doors and windows at the red carriages passing by in the street from time to time, and the soldiers in red silk, and whispered about each other.
After a while, the sky was completely bright, and Zhuge Ming's carriage also arrived outside the palace gate.
Outside the palace gate, there is a guard of honor band, wearing red robes, playing festive tunes, which can be heard from afar.
The carriage slowly passed through the palace gate, Zhuge Ming looked out from the window, and the same carriage came one after another. After entering the palace gate and arriving at the square, the prince said to Zhuge Ming in the car, "Young Master Ming, the carriage here can't take the carriage, you can only walk." ”
Zhuge Ming got out of the carriage and followed the prince into the square, and came to a large hall, there was a plaque on the door beam, on which were written three golden characters "Taiqian Palace", at this time there were already a lot of people sitting in the hall.
Directly above the hall is a large dragon chair. The golden lacquer surface and two golden dragons are engraved on the two armrests, which is lifelike. The backrest of the dragon chair is two five-clawed golden dragons, stepping on auspicious clouds, and in the middle is a night pearl embedded in it, taking the meaning of two dragons playing with pearls. On both sides of the hall, there are many tables and tables, all of which are made of rosewood, showing luxury and nobility.
Wang Gonggong took Zhuge Ming to the second seat in the second row on the right, "Young Master Ming, this is your place." ”
Zhuge Ming nodded to the prince, "Thank you for leading the way." ”
The prince was still smiling and his voice was shrill and high, "The old slave should be." Then the old slave will go down. After saying that, the prince left the main hall.
Zhuge Ming sat down, I don't know what material the cushion is made of, it is very soft and comfortable, and it is warm to sit on.
On the table were some fruits, pastries, and a pot of wine.
Zhuge Ming glanced at the people around him, none of them were recognized, he was a little bored, he picked up a fruit he had never seen before and tasted it, the taste was sweet, slightly sour, and there was a rich aroma, which instantly filled the entire mouth.
After about half an hour, the right side of the hall was almost full, but the left seat was still empty.
At this moment, a shrill voice sounded, "Your Excellency Prime Minister has arrived." ”
Soon, three people appeared at the door of the main hall, one was Jiang Bai, one was Jiang Xiaojiang, and the other was a middle-aged man, Zhuge Ming guessed that it should be Jiang Bai's son Jiang Feng.
Jiang Bai and the three of them walked straight in the direction of Jun Mo, and there were just three empty seats beside Zhuge Ming, presumably they were theirs.
Jiang Xiaojiang saw Zhuge Ming and kept squeezing his eyes at Zhuge Ming. Zhuge Ming pretended not to see it, deliberately turned his head away, and looked away.
Jiang Bai saw Zhuge Ming, smiled and nodded, "Virtuous nephew, hasn't the prince come today?"
Zhuge Ming got up and replied, "Zhuge Ming has seen the Prime Minister, the master has something to go out and has not returned, so I will attend the wedding banquet today instead of the master." “
Jiang Baixin said, Jun Mo shouldn't be the one who went to check the night attack that night, but he couldn't find himself here, so he had to arrange for Ye San to leave as soon as possible.
"I see, nephew, please take a seat. “
Zhuge Ming replied, "Prime Minister, please." “
Immediately afterward, a voice came from the hall again, "The lord of the kingdom has arrived." ”
And all the people in the temple stood up.
I saw that surrounded by a group of palace maids, a middle-aged man in a dragon robe walked in, not angry and arrogant.
"The ministers pay their respects to the lord of the kingdom. ”
"The secretary is seated. The voice of the lord of the country was loud and majestic.
The lord of the country stood in front of the dragon chair and said loudly, "Today is the wedding day of Yuxuan, the eldest son of Lonely, and Sun Qingwu, the prime minister. The public witnesses are lonely and lucky. ”
"Congratulations to the lord, congratulations to the eldest prince, congratulations to the prime minister. ”
"Zhongqing first enjoyed melon and fruit cakes, as well as today's wedding wine. Later, when the foreign guests arrive, a big wedding ceremony will be held. ”
Soon, voices came from outside the hall.
"Sheng Guohe arrived. ”
"Chang Guohe arrived. ”
"Rong Guohe arrived. ”
"The Great Qin Empire has arrived. ”
After a slight pause, the voice rang out again.
"Qianyang Cave Yuan Yin Zhenren came to congratulate on behalf of Qianyang Cave. ”
When everyone in the hall heard this, they were all shocked, they didn't expect that Qianyang Cave would also send people to come, and the lord of the country, Fan Ye, looked at everyone's realization, and was very satisfied, and his eyes were full of satisfaction.
Zhuge Ming looked at all this, very boring, and fiddled with the wine glass.
On behalf of the Si family, Si Bingyi congratulated the lord of Fan. ”
When Zhuge Ming heard the word "Si family", he was stunned for a moment, "Si family, is it that Si family?" unconsciously clenched his fists.
Soon, people continued to enter the temple.
Zhuge Ming stared closely at everyone who came in, expecting to see that he knew someone, but he didn't want to see it.
