Chapter VII: Substitution of Marriage

A few people came to the dexterous room, and Mrs. Su whispered in the dexterous ear: "Dexterity, wake up quickly, your sister has promised to marry you, you don't have to go to the Hou Mansion's house, wake up quickly!" ”

Mrs. Su read tirelessly for more than an hour, her dexterous eyelids moved, and she slowly opened her eyes after a while. Mrs. Su was so pleasantly surprised, she ran out to call the doctor in person after a few words of relief, Linglong came to the bed and said with a smile:

"Sister, you are so cowardly, a prince of the Hou Mansion will scare you out!"

Tears flashed in Dexterity's eyes: "Sister, I can't let you jump into this fire pit for your sister." ”

"Sister, don't say that, I'm voluntary, not to mention that my father and mother are trying to find a way to delay the marriage period, if the eldest son is gone before that, we don't have to get married, sister, take care of your body quickly, we are all worried about death."

Linglong's tears flowed down her ears, Linglong smiled and helped her wipe her tears while telling her jokes, and after a few days, Lingdexter's condition was really much better, and she was able to walk on the ground.

In the morning, Mrs. Su came to see Linglong and took Linglong to the front yard, where Master Su was already waiting, watching him walk around with his hands behind his back, and there were a lot of things in the courtyard, Linglong could almost guess what his father and mother were going to say.

She didn't want to embarrass her father and mother, so she said directly: "Father, mother, when is the wedding date?" ”

Master Su and Mrs. Su glanced at each other, and Mrs. Su said distressedly: "Linglong, Daddy is sorry for you." ”

Master Su stomped his feet: "No, you can't be so cowardly, I'll go to the Hou Mansion to withdraw my relatives now, it's a big deal that this official won't do it!" ”

"Sir! Master, you can't! Mrs. Su hurriedly grabbed him and cried: "Master, how can our family live without your official position?" The ancestral house in the capital can't accommodate us, do we all have to go back and be angry? ”

Master Su stood with his head down for a while, sighed weakly, and sat down on the box next to him. Seeing their dejected appearances, Linglong made up his mind.

"Dad, mother, just let me go, the Hou Mansion is the most powerful family in our Jiangzhou, many people can't climb it if they want to, maybe I'll be fine as soon as I go to the eldest son, we can all enjoy it!"

The couple glanced at each other weakly, the matter had come to this, and it could only be like this.

The Hou Mansion was in a hurry, and the wedding date was set for tomorrow, and the Su Mansion got the news temporarily, but he didn't prepare anything, so he had to buy it temporarily. There are all kinds of wedding dresses and wedding etiquette, and the Su Mansion is so busy that their feet don't touch the ground, and the bride who was temporarily invited taught Linglong in the courtyard for a long time, and finally made the wedding etiquette simple.

Before dawn the next day, Linglong was dug up and began to dress up and dress up or something, Mrs. Su has been accompanying her with red eyes, crying from beginning to end, but Linglong doesn't feel anything, but she is very interested in the wedding etiquette here, she comforts the old lady while cooperating.

Before going out in the morning, the eldest sister Lingqiao and several aunts and brothers and sisters came to see them off, as soon as they saw Su Lingfeng, Linglong hated it so much, everyone was crying before getting on the sedan chair, but Linglong unveiled Xipa and walked to Su Lingfeng and said: "Dead girl, you made my sister sick, you will be good-looking in the future, let's see." ”

Su Lingfeng didn't think so, secretly grimaced at her, and whispered: "Let's keep you alone first, who is afraid of whom?" ”

Linglong was personally helped by his mother to get on the sedan chair, crackling all the way and setting off firecrackers all the way around Jiangzhou City, until he happened to arrive at the gate of the Hou Mansion before noon.

According to the custom here, the bride should be led by the groom with a red rope when she gets out of the sedan chair. Linglong peeked when she got off the sedan chair, and saw that the person holding the red rope was a young man in red with a delicate face, and she wondered in her heart, could it be that the eldest prince of the Hou Mansion was cured? I can even get out of bed to greet my relatives.

That's fine, after all, it's unlucky to be a widow as soon as you get married, and Linglong breathed a sigh of relief for the time being.

The first qiē is quite smooth, the guests are still enthusiastic, and it is normal to make a little joke occasionally. Linglong stood in front of the hall according to the instructions of the bride, the surroundings quieted down, and the bride and groom began to salute, leading the bride and groom to kneel in front of the hall.

"Worship heaven and earth!" Linglong deliberately waited for the people around her to kneel before kneeling, and after deliberately delaying for a moment, she suddenly caught a glimpse of the young man in red next to her holding a rooster in his hand.

Halfway to the kneeling, she stood up, everyone was a little surprised, the Hou Mansion in-laws in the hall winked at Linglong's bride, the bride held Linglong's arm and whispered while pressing down: "Bride, it's time to worship the church, kneel down quickly!" ”

Linglong pushed Xi Niang away, tore off the Xipa on his head, and pointed to the young man holding the rooster next to him: "Your Hou Mansion is high and powerful, and bullying people is not like this, I am married to the eldest son of the Hou Mansion, not this rooster." ”

The guests began to talk about each other, and the bride hurriedly said: "Miss Su, you also know that the eldest prince is unwell, and it is really inconvenient to come out to worship, according to folk customs, the groom can be replaced by a rooster if he is not there, we are all done according to etiquette, and there is no less than a step!" ”

"Whether it is less or less, the groom has not become any relatives?"

Linglong took off the fatally heavy phoenix crown, and when he saw an empty seat next to him, he sat down unceremoniously, "Master Hou, madam, if you don't call the eldest prince out, I won't worship this hall." ”

The guests were in an uproar, the discussion became louder, and the originally joyful front of the hall was noisy, no better than the vegetable market. The Hou Ye and Mrs. were embarrassed, and the two exchanged ears to discuss for a while, and the lady came over and whispered:

"Lingqiao, you and Tai'an have been engaged since childhood, that is, Tai'an is strong and not sick, but you have always been weak, taking medicine every day, we have never said half a sentence in that situation, and now we are in a different place, I hope you can consider it for us."

Linglong didn't think so, and said loudly: "I am Linglong, not dexterous, I have never been sick, my father and mother are willing to send my good daughter to the Hou Mansion, and there is no complaint about the eldest son's illness."

It's just that you let me come to Chongxi, but the church didn't even have people and came up with a rooster, and you didn't tell me, don't you think it's a loss? Don't think it's too much? In any case, I won't go to church if I don't see anyone today. ”

Mrs. looked back at Hou Ye, Hou Ye shook his head, and Mrs. said with a straight face: "Whether you worship the church or not, you are carried in by the three media of my Dingguo Hou Mansion and the three media and eight sedan chairs, and when you enter this door, you are the daughter-in-law of my Dingguo Hou Mansion, so you have to serve the prime minister and take care of him for the rest of his life." ”

Hey, it's hard to give me a soft one, she just doesn't eat this set, Ling'er stood up and confronted the Hou Mansion's wife Tian:

"Don't talk about those who don't have it, it won't be a family affair without a church, the court has a law that clearly stipulates, I don't care if you are a Hou Mansion or a royal mansion, anyway, I only wait for two quarters of an hour, and I can't see the eldest prince within two quarters of an hour, so I will go back to the house, and it has nothing to do with your Li family."

"You...... You ......" Mrs. Tian of the Hou Mansion was so angry that her face turned white, and her hand pointing at Linglong trembled slightly.

"What about me? If you want me to give your son Chongxi, I have to be willing to straighten the rooster to Chongxi, aren't you afraid that your son can't stand it and dies early? ”

The hall suddenly fell silent, and Linglong suddenly felt that she had said the wrong thing, but she couldn't take it back, so she could only stubbornly look at the pale-faced Tian.

"Madam, it's not good, it's not good!" A maid ran out of the back hall in a panic.
