Chapter 2 Breaking News
In front of the Shen house, the willow silk is like smoke, and the two old willow trees skillfully cover the door, although the house is not luxurious, it is also full of poetry and picturesqueness. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
An ordinary red sedan chair is parked, adding a bit of joy to the ancient house.
The four palanquin bearers sat on two benches placed under the courtyard wall, and the matchmaker Zhang who came with him wore red and green, like a flower butterfly, and was anxiously walking around the courtyard gate.
The palace is far away in Qiaoqi County, far from here, pick up people, go out of the village, to change the carriage, take the carriage at night and do not stay overnight to arrive at dusk tomorrow.
Xiao Lianhua, the village chief, and a few villagers were beckoning the people to drink tea, and they were secretly anxious.
After all, the prince can't afford to offend anyone.
Some villagers watched from afar, and they were surprised that the son of the world was so pompous and pompous to marry a wife.
Five meters away, Hua Jingwan quietly hid behind an old willow, the thick trunk covered her subtly, she poked out half of her head, her eyes were full of curiosity, looking at the situation in front of the door.
Mrs. Zhang looked at the sky, the sun was empty, the sun was hotter than before, partial and windless, although it was under the shade of the trees, it was not cool at all, and she was anxious, the heat came from the inside, she was extremely impatient. Glancing at Xiao Lianhua, he looked at the wide open door and said, "What's the matter, why hasn't the bride come out yet?" ”
Xiao Lianhua put the melon seed plate in her hand in front of Mrs. Zhang, and said with a smile: "My second sister-in-law is slow, but she is a good character, and she is a good girl who is one in a hundred, wait a few hours." ”
Mrs. Zhang's face made Hua Jingwan disgusted, for fear of being discovered by her sister-in-law, she was not watching.
When I came to the field, Shen Cheng was hoeing, and in March, there was a lot to be planted.
"Brother! I'm here to help you. ”
Shen Cheng straightened up and looked at Hua Jingwan, her brows twisted into a rope.
Hua Jingwan pursed her lips, "Brother! Not happy? I'm not happy I'm leaving. ”
"It's not that I'm unhappy, it's just that you're here, how can my mother explain to the person who picks up her relatives, that matchmaker has sharp teeth and a sharp mouth, and she is not an easy character to deal with."
"My mother has been an official wife before, she will deal with it."
Having said that, Hua Jingwan was still a little worried, thinking about it, she didn't let Shen Cheng be embarrassed, leaving Shen Cheng's sight, she walked along the path full of wild flowers on both sides towards the distant mountains.
Upset, she can't care so much.
Playing with a wild chrysanthemum in his hand, halfway through, he heard the sound of an ox cart running over the mud on the side path, and when he turned his head to look, he saw an old man driving a cow and horse slowly.
The old man in the car saw that it was her, and said with a smile: "Second Miss Shen, where are you going?" ”
Shen Bo was knowledgeable, modest and kind, and had been an official in the capital, so the people in the village respected the Shen family more.
Hua Jingwan looked at it and recognized it as Wu Laohan, who lived next door.
The day before yesterday, I went out with Shen Jingyu to pick up Shen Cheng, and I met Wu Laohan on the way.
"Uncle Wu! Where is this going? ”
"I took some grain to the city yesterday to sell."
Wu Laohan said that the city is the nearest Qiao Town, just passed through, and has not been there yet, Hua Jingwan said: "Call me next time, I can help you bargain." ”
Wu Laohan happily agreed.
In a blink of an eye, the ox cart was approaching, he stopped the ox cart and said to Hua Jingwan mysteriously: "Second Miss! I once heard that you had promised to marry the prince of Cangnan earlier, I don't know if you know that King Cangnan is seriously ill? ”
Hua Jingwan stared blankly at Wu Laohan, and asked after a while, "Where did you hear the gossip?" ”
Wu Laohan laughed, "Qiao Zhen has spread all over the city. ”
"Then if I get married, won't I be the princess of Cangnan?"
"That's for sure!"
Hua Jingwan's eyes rolled, her fingers touched her lips, she learned this habit from Shen Jingyu, looked at the green mountains in the distance, and muttered in a low voice, "I'm afraid it's not that simple!" ”
Old Man Wu's ears were back, the wind was strong, and he couldn't hear clearly, "What did you say?" ”
"Nothing, nothing!"
After a perfunctory sentence, Hua Jingwan happily changed her route and ran towards the Shen family's mansion.
With such a hot news, she had to let Shen Bo and Shen Liu know.
。。。
In the main hall, I couldn't find my daughter in the boudoir, and Shen Liu went crazy and walked around in the middle of the house. Shen Bo didn't see a hurry, he sat on the chair, his hands on the armrests, and only stared at the pair of cloth shoes on his feet. Shen Jingyu didn't look at her sister, she was complained by Shen Liu, and was pouting, standing behind Shen Bo with her hands hooked.
In just five years after returning to his hometown, Shen Bo has aged a lot, his temples are gray, and he is only in his early fifties, but he looks like an old man in his early sixties.
At this moment, he remembered the engagement with King Cangnan back then.
If he hadn't been involved in the corruption and bribery case of his subordinates, he wouldn't have ended up in such a field today, and his daughter's marriage would not have been so pompous.
King Cangnan, an old friend, doesn't give him face!
If you look down on it like this, it's better to regret your marriage.
"Sir! You're talking! Wanwan, this girl ran away, but what should I do? The royal palace pick-up team was still waiting in front of the door. ”
After thinking hard, Shen Bo hung his head and said dejectedly: "Go back to them." It is said that Wanwan's face was destroyed the day before yesterday, and he had no shame to marry into the palace. ”
Shen Liu was shocked, "If this is found out to be the truth, our family will not be allowed to go to prison?" ”
"What can be done now?"
Shen Liu wiped away his tears, sighed, and said, "My daughter can't help her when she grows up!" ”
"Mother! Father! ”
Hearing his daughter's shout, Shen Liu was overjoyed.
Hua Jingwan panted and ran into the main hall, "Dad! Mother! The child just heard that King Cangnan is seriously ill, do you know this? ”
"The prince is seriously ill!"
The husband and wife blurted out together, and then, Shen Bo fell into thought, Shen Liu smiled happily, and took Hua Jingwan's hand, "In that case, in the near future, Wanwan, you will be the princess, you have to marry!" ”
Hua Jingwan rolled her eyes at Shen Liu and looked at Shen Bo.
Shen Bo is well-informed, knowledgeable, calm and cautious, he must have something to say about it.
After a while, Shen Bo looked up at Hua Jingwan, "Wanwan! Do you really want to make a big show, and the prince will pick you up? ”
Hua Jingwan was at a loss and did not say anything.
Shen Bo stroked his beard and said to Shen Liu: "You will immediately tell Mrs. Zhang as I said." ”
"Sir!" Shen Liu's heart sank, and he couldn't figure out Shen Bo's thoughts.
Shen Bo urged: "Just say it!" ”
"Your grandfather seems to be fine, if the prince is angry, look at your grandfather and go to prison to have fun!"
Shen Liu complained softly, turned around and walked towards the door.
Her husband's words were holy decrees, and she did not dare to disobey them.
Shen Liu went out, and the two looked at each other and smiled.
Shen Bo got up, put his hands behind his back and walked towards the door, "Wanwan! Let's go and have a look at your mother's vegetable patch. ”
Hua Jingwan agreed, smiled and followed out.
She didn't have to be grand, but the palace despised her so much, she was just angry, and besides, she didn't know what Gao Xuan was like.
"Daddy! Have you ever met Gao Xuan? ”
"Yes."
"What does it look like?"
"When I was young, my lips were red and my teeth were white, which was very cute."
。。。。
The popularity of the kiss left in a hurry, and in the evening, Hua Jingwan disappeared at dinner.
Shen Liu asked, and Shen Bo said that he sent her to the town to buy some dowry.
Shen Liu was skeptical about this, but since Shen Bo said it so calmly, he was also very authoritative in her mind, and he didn't say anything except a few words of low complaining.
