The wedding customs of this era are completely different from modern times, weddings are held in the evening, along the way the people are blocked on both sides of the road, waiting for a rare lively scene, Yan Xining passed through them, and finally came to the front of the Wang's house, the high door of the mansion is full of lights, a festive color, Fu Bo saw her from afar, and said happily: "Miss Yan, you can count it, that kid in Weichuan is afraid that you won't be there." ”
Yan Xining smiled awkwardly and walked with Fu Bo to the side hall on the side of the hall.
Mrs. Wang entertained the female relatives who came in the side hall, and when she saw Yan Xining stepping forward, she smiled and said, "Miss Yan, I haven't seen you for a few days, and the girl's complexion is better." ”
Yan Xining presented the congratulatory gift with both hands, and said, "Xining's small congratulatory gift, Mrs. Wang, don't dislike it." ”
"Where is the girl, I'm glad you to come, and Cheng Zhi must be able to laugh a lot when I see you." Mrs. Wang motioned for her subordinates to take the congratulatory gift, held Yan Xining's hand and sighed.
"Today's son's great joy must be a spring breeze." Yan Xining pretended not to understand and said softly.
"Alas, you don't know about Gao Yue...... Forget it, I won't mention others on this day, I will introduce you to the ladies and ladies, they heard about your treatment of Chengzhi, and they are very curious about you. Mrs. Wang patted Xi Ning's hand and pulled her to the back room.
Xi Ning came here today to have something to do, naturally she didn't have the heart to know any lady, she said: "Madam, I don't know if the adults can see Xi Ning idlely, don't hide from Mrs., Xi Ning came to Luoyang this time to participate in Ling Gongzi's marriage, and there is another thing I want to ask for help." ”
Mrs. Wang didn't care much when she heard her words, and said with a smile: "The girl is Chengzhi's life-saving benefactor, if there is anything to do, the Wang family will naturally help, Cui'er, take the girl to the front hall to see the adult." ”
"I heard that Miss Yan has something to ask the old man for help?" After Wang Keping retreated from everyone, he said politely to Yan Xining.
Yan Xining was silent for a while, and said softly: "I saw the text of the conquest of Goguryeo. ”
Wang Ke sighed, "Goguryeo is His Majesty's heart disease, and the people who persuaded him in the court have been beheaded, if the girl is worried about your father, you can tell Wang which general your father is under the account, and Wang can write a trustee to take care of one or two." ”
Yan Xining shook his head, didn't know how to speak, hesitated for a long time, and finally mustered up the courage to say: "It's not my father, I think, I want to beg my lord, can you let the villagers of Fu'an Village go when Luoyang recruits soldiers." ”
Wang Ke frowned when he heard her words, "What does the girl mean is that Wang Mou should not let the men from Fu'an Village fill the army?" ”
Yan Xining bowed deeply to Wang Ke, "I know this makes it very difficult for adults, but since the beginning of last year, there are no more than 100 men left in Fu'an Village, and 100 people are not of much use in the Eastern Expedition. ”
Wang Ke's hand knocked on the back of the chair, which made Yan Xining's heart feel uneasy, and after a long time, he apologized: "I'm sorry, Miss Yan, your request, I can't agree to it." ”
"Your Excellency?" Although she was mentally prepared, she was directly rejected by Wang Ke, and Yan Xining was still a little at a loss.
"The girl is right, there are only 100 men in Fu'an Village, and it is not much help to go on the expedition, but has the girl ever thought about it, if Wang lets go of Fu'an Village, how can the villagers in other states and counties be convinced, if they do not treat everyone equally, there will be chaos around Luoyang, and the news will reach His Majesty, even Wang will not be able to retreat with his whole body, Wang must take care of the overall situation, and hope that Miss Yan will forgive me." Wang Ke explained to her in a deep voice.
"It's Xi Ning's inconsiderate thinking that makes the adults embarrassed." Yan Xining clenched her fists and said to Wang Ke with a wry smile, she had long known that with her ability, it was impossible to save them.
"I didn't mean to prevaricate the girl, I hope the girl understands the difficulties below." Wang Ke said softly.
Yan Xining nodded with a lonely expression, her heart was at a loss, and she said weakly: "In this case, Xi Ning retreated first, so as not to delay the adult's business." ”
The auspicious time came, the sound of firecrackers in front of the Wang family, Wang Chengzhi wore a big red robe, kicked the sedan car door in the cheerful suona sound, the bride stepped forward to pick up the bride and get off the sedan chair, the bride stepped over the brazier, under the guidance of Wang Chengzhi through the courtyard, came to the main hall, the guests had already gathered in the main hall, Wang Chengzhi looked around the main hall, saw Yan Xining, who was hiding in the crowd and staring at him, finally had a smile on his cloudy face, and the master of ceremonies said loudly: "The bride and groom kowtow, kneel and worship heaven and earth." ”
The bride turned around and knelt down under the support of the bride, but the groom did not move, Wei Chuan hurriedly stepped forward and reminded softly: "Childe." Wang Chengzhi frowned slightly, hesitated for a moment, and finally knelt down slowly, completing the long ceremony with the bride, and at the moment before entering the cave room, he looked in the direction where Yan Xining was, but she was gone.
Yan Xining stood on the edge of the pond, quietly looking at the sparkling water, and the festive prosperity around her set off her loneliness, which seemed even more out of place.
"Does your coming mean that you forgive me, I'm really afraid that you won't come." Wang Chengzhi's voice came, and she couldn't help but look back, seeing that he was still wearing a bright red wedding dress, wearing the hat of the groom's official, and his tone exuded the smell of wine, thinking that he had just drunk a lot of wine.
"The groom doesn't go to accompany the bride, why did he come here?" Yan Xining frowned.
"What kind of groom official, it's just a marriage between big families, there is no emotion, only interests, I don't even know whether Miss Liu is beautiful or ugly." Wang Chengzhi sighed, found a random stone next to Yan Xining and sat down.
"You're not afraid that your father will trouble you?" Wang Ke is not easy to mess with.
Wang Chengzhi sneered and said, "Do you think my father doesn't know that I'm here?" I have taken this kiss as he wished, and he is not satisfied with anything. ”
"On the wedding night, it's always bad to keep the bride waiting." Yan Xining sighed.
"Don't mention her, I'm finally clearing up for a while." Wang Chengzhi said angrily, was silent for a long time, and looked lonely: "You say, if she knows that I am married, will she feel a little sad." ”
"Miss Gao has left." Yan Xining looked at him and couldn't bear to say.
"I know that she is gone and will never appear again, how can I forget the scene of that day, I just care, why didn't she even want to look at me at the last moment, is Xie Ronghua so good?" Wang Chengzhi stood up, condensed at Yan Xi angrily, picked up a stone, threw it into the pond, and splashed a circle of water.
