Chapter 134: Marriage
Rumors spread around the city like catkins in spring, and some people couldn't sit still after hearing them. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Among these people, the first to react was Lin Xiran, who knew the relationship between Xia Shuanghan and Lu Shaoyun.
"In recent days, there have been rumors in Beijing that you are going to marry Su Yixing as the princess, isn't that true?"
On the seventh day of the fourth month, this is the day when Lin Xiran takes turns off. Early in the morning, with questions in his heart, he boarded the gate of Xia's house after Xia Jingzhi and Xia Chaoyang went out to the Hanlin Academy and the academy respectively.
"It's true!" In the main hall of the Xia family, Xia Shuanghan, whose words and deeds were no different from usual, said while greeting Lin Xiran with tea: "The day after tomorrow is the day I pass the door, at that time, do you want to go to Xiangyang Palace to have a cup of wine?" ”
"Summer Frost!" Hearing Xia Shuanghan's words, Lin Xiran, who couldn't stand the peaceful and tranquil expression on her face, instantly became angry.
"What the hell is going on with you?" Without looking at the cup of green tea that Xia Shuanghan poured for him, Lin Xi suddenly stood up from the round table, walked back and forth, and said, "Is it you the Xia Shuanghan who fell into the deep ditch for Tingxuan in Chuzi Mountain?" At the beginning, was it you who asked me to go to the East Palace to pay homage to the prince and keep saying that I didn't want to marry Su Yixing? If they're you, then why are you turning your face now? ”
"Because I'm paying off Xu's debts!" Looking at Lin Xiran, who was walking around angrily in front of him, Xia Shuanghan said calmly: "Because the eldest young master of the Chen family was so harmed by the Xu family that he was about to die, if I don't exchange myself, Chen Jinglun will have to die." Do you think I have a choice in a situation like this? ”
Lin Xiran, who immediately understood the truth of the matter from Xia Shuanghan's words, stopped pacing, and only squeezed his fists so loudly. "Su Yixing took advantage of the danger of others to blackmail you, didn't he? What a despicable villain, I'll help you settle accounts with him! ”
"Don't mess with me, okay!" Xia Shuanghan, who stood up neatly, quickly grabbed the sleeve of Lin Xiran, who was about to turn away, and persuaded him: "This is me and Ting Xuan, and Su Yixing, the matter between the three of us, you can't interfere and you can't help." ”
"So what do you want me to do? Watching you marry him? Lin Xiran, who had to stop and turn around, glared and said, "Anyway, can't you just wait?" Ting Xuan and Grandpa Lu haven't come back yet, what if they can bring about a turnaround? If you make such a hasty decision now, aren't you afraid that you will regret it in the future? ”
"Yes, you can wait, I can wait, Su Yixing can wait, but Chen Jinglun can't wait! Do you know what his situation is now? ”
Recalling the scene he saw when he went to visit Chen's house yesterday, Xia Shuanghan closed his eyes unbearably, and then said: "Now feed Jinglun five spoonfuls of water, and four spoonfuls can be sprinkled outside." In order to take care of him, Chen Juntang has not closed his eyes for a few days and nights. Go and see Chen Jingwei crying heartbreakingly at Chen Jinglun's bedside, you asked me to wait, can I wait? ”
"Yes, you have seen the pain of others, you can't bear it, what about Tingxuan, have you thought about him? He was looking for you everywhere with half his life at the border, and he didn't close his eyes for a few days and nights, why do you bear to treat him like this now? ”
Thinking back to Fa Xiao's eyes, like a beast on the verge of collapse, Lin Xiran said that he couldn't agree with Xia Shuanghan's current approach. "Yes, Shuang Han, you sacrifice yourself and give up the happiness of the rest of your life, you can indeed save Chen Jinglun temporarily, but what about Tingxuan? You're asking for his life! ”
"No, Ting Xuan is very strong, it is impossible for him to be defeated by this matter." After all, my death in my previous life didn't completely crush him, did it?
Swallowing the unspoken words of the latter, Xia Shuanghan smiled lightly and asked: "Anyway, Xiran, even if I ask you, you should leave this matter alone." ”
"You ......" took one last look at Xia Shuanghan, who was involuntary and helpless, Lin Xiran gritted his teeth and shouted sadly, "Xu's sin", and turned around and left the Xia family in a powerless and dejected manner.
Shaking his head and sighing, Lin Xiran muttered that the Xu family left, so at this moment, how is the Xu family who is being nagged?
A few days ago, since Lu Shijie, who entered the palace for a banquet, brought back to the Lu family the matter of the Queen Mother's request for Xia Shuanghan to train dogs, the life of the Xu family has become more and more difficult.
In the eyes of all the gentlemen of the Lu family, the reason why the Queen Mother blatantly embarrassed Xia Shuanghan at the birthday banquet was nothing more than to vent her anger for the Xu family. Therefore, although Lu Shijie did not find conclusive evidence that the Xu family handed the news to the palace after the grounding, Xia Shuanghan's account of the "clear calculation" was still recorded on the Xu family's head.
"Why are you so stubborn and unrepentant? I didn't think about how to make up for it when I did something wrong, but I only hated that I didn't do it hard enough when I did it, so I insisted on making up for it twice. I, Lu Shijie, have spent most of my life lying in the same bed with a poisonous woman like you, and I feel a chill down my spine just thinking about it now! ”
"No, sir, you wronged me, there's nothing at all!" In the face of Lu Shijie's scolding, no matter how surprised Xu Shi was, her aunt actually lost her hand in the matter of "cleaning up the summer frost", and now, the surprise in her heart cannot be expressed at all.
"Master, don't you know what kind of temper the Queen Mother's aunt is, I think it must be because she thinks that the girl of the Xia family has refuted her face in the matter of marriage, so she did it to her. This whole thing has nothing to do with me at all! ”
"Don't say it again, I can't believe what you say now." Lu Shijie, who had already decided that the reason why this small family affair between the Lu Xia family would be so bad that it could not end now was completely the fault of the Xu family, said angrily: "If you have anything to say, after your father comes back from the border pass, you can go and talk to him yourself!" Moreover, if Ting Xuan really makes him lonely in his life and never marries, it will all be your fault! ”
"What do you mean, sir? Why don't you marry for life, what kind of lonely person? The Xu family, who was confused but concluded that he would never hear any good news next, soon learned from Lu Shijie's mouth that Xia Shuanghan was about to marry Su Yixing.
"It's got to this point, you're satisfied!" The heartbroken Lu Shijie shook his head and sighed: "Now that the loyal and righteous townsman is going to pay off the Chen family's debts for you, it is equivalent to putting your lifelong happiness into it." Do you think Yi Tingxuan's temperament, after he knows about this matter, with such a heavy moral and emotional burden, is it possible for him to get married in this life? You, you just ruined him! ”
"How could it be that I ruined Tingxuan! This is clearly that the girl of the Xia family wants to be a **** and wants to set up an archway! "Deeply aware that his son will not marry for life, it is far worse than being destined to have no children, and now he is not hesitant to use the greatest malice to figure out Xia Shuanghan, and use this to find shelter and support for his actions.
"Master, when you marry her to the Xiangyang Palace, is it really for the Chen family? She was just trying to find a fig leaf for her own climbing of the branches. In order to be the princess of the world, she specially came to our house to withdraw from the marriage, and used the illness of the eldest young master of the Chen family as a guise to become the princess of the world, she took all the face, and she turned her head and wanted to pit me, she was really kind and scheming! ”
"You...... Until now, you are still unrepentant, reversing black and white, and spewing blood and spitting people so slippery, you should really be a good scheming and good means! Lu Shijie, who was so angry that he suddenly felt that he had nothing to say, threw up his sleeves and walked out of Shanlan Courtyard, and went straight to Xixia Courtyard to find Uncle Yan.
On the ninth day of the fourth month, this is the day when Xia Shuanghan marries Su Yixing as agreed. got up early in the morning, freshened up and dressed up with the help of the bride, Xia Shuanghan, who never thought that he would marry a man other than Lu Shaoyun, only felt extremely ridiculous and unreal.
Wearing a heavy phoenix crown on his head, and wearing a wedding dress carefully sewn by an embroidered girl, seeing that he was indeed as Lu Shaoyun said, Xia Shuanghan, who would marry someone again after returning to Beijing, couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Tingxuan, you are indeed right, this is indeed a marriage in which the elders of both parties are involved, but you still said one thing wrong, that is, the groom is not you!" ”
In order to prevent his younger brother from seeing emotional flaws on his face, he put on a red hijab early, and Xia Shuanghan, who walked out of the boudoir accompanied by the bride, came to Xia Chaoyang, who could lead his sister to the sedan chair although he couldn't carry his sister on his back.
"Sister, you can marry your sweetheart, and you are also a sweetheart who promises to come to your liking in all matters after marriage, do you feel very happy and happy?"
Now that he is still in the dark, he really thinks that Xia Shuanghan and Su Yixing are really as rumored in the market, and it is indeed Xia Chaoyang, who has had feelings for each other and promised each other for life in the past few months, smiled and said with tears: "Although I am reluctant to part with my sister, as long as my sister can be happy, then I will be happy." So, sister, you must live a good life every day, you know? ”
"Yes, my sister knows." Holding his younger brother's soft little hand, Xia Shuanghan, who couldn't rest assured, said: "When my sister leaves, you have to take good care of your father, and take care of yourself, do you know?" As soon as I'm free, my sister will come back to see you. ”
"Can't I go to Xiangyang Wangfu to see my sister?" Xia Chaoyang, who didn't know that Xia Shuanghan didn't actually want him to have anything to do with the Xiangyang Palace, shook his sister's right hand and begged: "I want to see my sister often, so can't I really go to the Xiangyang Palace to find you?" ”
"Doesn't Chaoyang still have to go to school on weekdays? Wouldn't it be better for my sister to come to the school to pick you up from school when she is free, and then accompany you home? ”
"Okay, okay, of course it's better!" Xia Chaoyang, who got his sister's assurance, smiled, and then accompanied Xia Shuanghan into the main hall of the Xia family, and waited for her to say goodbye to her father, and personally sent her to the sedan chair.
In the sedan chair that swayed slightly and began to move forward, as soon as he thought of Fang Cai's father's strong smile and earnest advice, Xia Shuanghan felt that his chest was stuffy.
Raising his hand to lift the fiery red hijab that blocked his vision, listening to the festive music outside the sedan chair, Xia Shuanghan didn't want to think about it at all, and now the man riding on the tall horse of the greeting and wearing a big red flower on his chest was not his sweetheart.
Outside the sedan curtain, which was slightly lifted by the breeze, there was a faint discussion of the people watching along the street. And mixed with those voices of amazement or envy, there is also the sound of horses' hooves coming from far and near in the wind.
The sound of horses' hooves getting closer and closer and the people on horseback caused a noisy discussion among the onlookers, and just when Xia Shuanghan wondered what was going on on the street outside the sedan chair, the sedan chair she was in suddenly fell to the ground, and came to a steady stop on the ground with a dull crashing sound.
"What's going on? What's going on-" Before Xia Shuanghan could finish the silent question in her heart, she raised her hand to hold on to the sedan wall to stabilize her body, and she was exposed to the bright sunlight because of the sudden lifting of the sedan curtain.
"Tingxuan?" Looking at the haggard, thin, and dusty handsome face that suddenly appeared outside the sedan chair, Xia Shuang was stunned for a long time sitting in the sedan chair.
Subsequently, before she could tell the many complex emotions that overflowed her chest, her eyes were red, and she was pulled out of the sedan chair by Lu Shaoyun, who came to rob her relatives, and then hugged the horse......
If Lu Shaoyun were to be asked what he had done after he had recovered the memory of his previous life, what he regretted the most, then he would reply: "After learning that Shuang Han was brought back to the capital by Su Yixing, I shouldn't have delayed my grandfather's return to the capital just because I wanted to know the news from the flying pigeon's biography." ”
Not long ago, when he learned that Lu Shaoyun and Lu Xiao, who had been given the title of Loyal and Righteous Township Monarch by Xia Shuanghan, had been invited by the Holy Lord to embark on a journey back to Beijing together, his heart was very excited. Because, the flying pigeon biography from the capital has already stated that although Xia Shuanghan tore up the marriage book and smashed the token, she invited Tuo Lin Xiran to enter the palace to see His Royal Highness the Prince, but she also exchanged "His Royal Highness the Prince's original promise" for "the failure of the request of the King of Xiangyang".
Lu Shaoyun knew that even though he and Xia Shuanghan had been separated for so long and were so far apart, the hearts of the two of them were always connected to everything and had never been separated. No, hasn't Xia Shuanghan already used her actual actions to show her position and attitude that she will wait for him to go back?
It's a pity that Lu Shaoyun, who misses, trusts and is grateful for Xia Shuanghan, has not been able to maintain his happy mood. Because, when he and Lu Xiaoqing walked on the official road for a few days, the arrival of another flying pigeon message completely destroyed the joy in his heart that he was about to see Xia Shuanghan.
