Chapter 07: The Wedding
Xiaohong got up from the bed and ran quickly to my bedside: "What's the matter, sister?" ”
I gasped and sat up on the bed: "Just now, there was a ...... in the room"
"Anyone?" Xiaohong was taken aback, quickly lit the lamp, turned out of the screen, and walked in quickly, "No one, sister." ”
"You go to the courtyard and ask the guards on duty at night, do you find any suspicious people?" I clenched my chest, and now I felt my whole body tremble.
Xiaohong opened the door and went out, and when I came back in the middle of the night, I hurriedly said, "What's the matter?" ”
"Tonight is Yun Xun and Yun Kan on duty, and they said they didn't find any suspicious people." Xiaohong sat on the edge of my bed, "What did my sister see?" ”
"I ......" I bit my lip, can I say it's a lonely cloud? After all, I didn't see his appearance clearly, and the reputation of Lonely Horror Cloud was at stake, and the consequences of saying this could be serious. If that person is really silent, with his skills, it is completely possible to avoid the iron guards and prevent people from discovering them. But how could such a thing be done by the Silent Clouds as I know it?
I suddenly remembered that when Ping An came to me during the day, she mentioned that her second uncle had recently "often been stupid, always saying inexplicable things, telling him something, and always forgetting it." I remember the marriage in my mind, and I was so excited that I couldn't sleep in the middle of the night, and I walked around the yard. "At the time, I just thought that Lonely Cloud also had this cute side, but now that I think about it, it seems that it is not so simple. His recent abnormal behavior is not like what his calm and self-controlled surname would do, and he is wearing underwear today, is it sleepwalking? If it's sleepwalking, why haven't I heard of General Silence having this problem before, what happened to Lonely Horror Cloud recently that made him abnormal like this?
"Sister?" Xiaohong saw me in a daze and called me. I came back to my senses, Xiaohong wiped my forehead, and said softly, "So much sweat? Sister can't be dreaming, right? ”
"Ah......" I smiled pretentiously, "maybe it's a dream." ”
"I took my sister's clothes and changed them." Xiaohong took a set of underwear, took off the sweat-soaked clothes for me, and inadvertently touched the black dragon jade on my neck, and retracted it suddenly, "Huh? Sister, why is this jade so hot? ”
"Huh?" I reached out blankly and touched the black dragon jade, and then I felt that the black dragon jade emitted a high heat, not so hot that it was scorching, but it was not a normal temperature. Just now, my nerves were in a state of tension, and I didn't even notice anything unusual about this jade. When did this jade start getting hot? Could it be that after the man entered the house just now? But it's been a long time since he's gone, so why hasn't the heat subsided?
Why does Black Dragon Jade get hot? I was terrified. This jade is a thing to ward off evil spirits, and it will only be a warning when it comes into contact with evil things, such as the last time I saw that radiation jade pillow, could it be that there was an evil thing in that person just now? Or was he urged by evil things? If he is really lonely, could it be that General Lone has fallen into evil? I pinched the black dragon jade, and made up my mind in my heart, when I went to the Lonely Mansion to attend the wedding today, I must find Ping An and ask clearly.
I fell asleep with a heavy heart, and I didn't feel sleepy anymore, so I got up quickly at dawn and asked Xiaohong to help me make up and prepare to go to General Lonely's mansion. In the general's mansion, there were so many people who came to congratulate and watch the ceremony, and I couldn't observe the silent clouds up close, nor could I see anything unusual about him. The ladies were arranged by the Lonely Mansion to the flower hall. Ping'an helped me, and I took her hand: "Ping'an, I don't like to stay in a place where there are too many people, you find a quiet place, let's talk." ”
"Then go to my room." Peace took me to her boudoir. I thought about it for a while and said to Xiaohong: "Xiaohong, you go and wait for me outside." ”
Seeing her push the door out, Ping An smiled and said, "What does my sister want to say?" ”
I don't know how to ask about Lonely Shock, but I definitely don't smile: "I had a dream last night, I dreamed that General Lonely was sick, looking at this happy day, how could I have such a bad dream, which made me worry about it all day today." ”
"Sister, you are really, isn't it just a dream, and it makes you think so much." Ping An said disapprerovingly, "What's the bad luck, my second uncle doesn't know how good his health is, and I've never seen him sick." ”
I smiled and said, "That being said, you have to rest assured to see that General Shan is really fine." By the way, Ping'an, you said yesterday that General Lonely has been saying some inexplicable things recently, always forgetting things, and going out for a stroll in the middle of the night, what's going on? ”
"Speaking of which, the second uncle really seems to have changed recently, and the charm of my second aunt is really great." Ping An pursed his lips and said with a smile, "My second uncle, how calm he usually is, how can I see him sad and happy?" But since sticking to my second aunt, my temper has also grown, I didn't want to see this before, he has been angry at me several times, I have never scolded me since I was a child, for this woman, not only scolded me, but also quarreled with the emperor once......"
"Huh?" I was surprised, "Where do you start?" "Lonely and frightened, quarreling with the emperor? Is this a loyal hussar general? How is this possible?
"Sister, you know, the marriage of the nobles of our Tiancao Kingdom must be put on the plate to the emperor, and the emperor can only marry when he approves it. With the background of my second aunt, even if the emperor agrees with my second uncle to marry her, he will definitely not let him marry as the wife of the main house. "Ping'an sighed, "What's more, the second uncle also had a marriage contract with the county lord of Huihui before, although now that the marriage contract is invalid, the second uncle can marry someone else, but he should also marry someone who is not too far from the identity of the county lord, and now the second uncle marries a woman in the Qinglou as the main house, His Royal Highness King Jing has a lot of whispers, thinking that the second uncle has no one in his eyes, and he has the intention to insult the royal face, and he also wrote to the emperor and insisted on opposing the second uncle's family business. ”
"And this stubble?" It turned out that there were so many inside stories in Lonely Shock's marriage to Miss Sai, he was able to withstand the pressure and insist on marrying her as the wife of the main house, I am afraid that he has a deep affection for her, "Then the emperor didn't agree at first, right?" ”
"yes, I won't agree anywhere." Ping'an nodded, frowned, and said, "But my second uncle insisted on marrying her, but the emperor disagreed, and he had a big quarrel with the emperor, which made the emperor angry." ”
"What are you arguing with the emperor?" As I pondered the words of peace in my head, I sought more information. Ping'an shook his head: "I don't know this, it was the emperor and the second uncle who quarreled when they were alone, when the second uncle told the emperor about this, he broke away, and the outside of the courtyard only heard that it was very noisy inside, and I don't know what it was arguing about." Later, the emperor left angrily, and the second uncle also came out angrily, and the people went to clean up the broken teacups. ”
"Then why did the emperor agree later?" I asked softly. Ping'an said: "I don't know very well, anyway, within a few days after they quarreled, the emperor agreed." As soon as the emperor agreed, the second uncle took advantage of it, as if he had changed as a different person, and he didn't get angry at people all day long, but smiled all day long, and laughed at things that were not funny for a long time. ”
The person she said didn't sound like a lonely cloud. I became more and more puzzled, and then asked, "You said that General Lonely likes to forget things lately, and he always goes out for a stroll in the middle of the night, what's the matter?" ”
"He's been thinking about getting married lately, and he's not paying attention to anything else in his mind." "Tell him something, turn your head and forget about it." I don't know what to think in the middle of the night, I always walk around the yard, ask him what he is doing, he ignores you, I hope he becomes a relative, as he wishes, and quickly returns to normal......"
There was a faint feeling of uneasiness in my heart, I always felt that something was wrong, and I couldn't say it, so I thought about it and said, "Ping, when did General Silence become like this?" ”
"How when?" Silent Ping'an snorted softly, "It's just that after I came back from spending the night in Baihualou a few days ago, and said that I was going to marry Sai Carmen, I became fascinated. The second uncle said that she was a serious girl and couldn't live up to her. ”
It seems that Secamun has already made a personal promise, and he will be responsible for the end. However, is it really for the sake of Miss Sai's fascination, is it so abnormal? Or is there another reason? What does the abnormality of the lonely clouds have to do with this race girl? After all, his abnormal situation only happened after he decided to take a wife, didn't it? I looked at Ping'an: "By the way, Ping'an, what is the real name of this girl?" ”
"You say she's weird, she says she's called Secarmen." Ping An was a little annoyed, "I took off my register and still used the flower name of Qinglou, isn't this a joke to let others see the General's Mansion?" ”
It's a bit of an anomaly, why doesn't she want people to know her real name? It would be strange if I believed that her name was really Secamen. Still thinking about it, I heard Ping'an say: "Sister, there is joy playing outside, maybe the bride has already received it, let's go out and have a look." ”
The wedding sedan chair has arrived, and the lonely cloud in a red robe kicked open the door of the sedan chair, and the bride helped down the bride, who was also dressed in red and covered with a red hijab on her head. The bride was helped across the brazier and stepped on the red carpet into the main hall, joyful and joyful, the scene was solemn and enthusiastic, where the master of ceremonies shouted: "Bride and groom, worship heaven and earth!" ”
The scene in front of me was familiar and distant, I looked at the newcomer holding the red silk, and suddenly remembered that in Cangdu, Yun Zheng and I had also held the red silk like this and worshiped the ancestors of heaven and earth. Scene by scene, overlapping with the scene in front of me, so clearly and truly appeared in front of my eyes, as if it were yesterday. Yun Zheng, at that time, I thought I would hold your hand and go through my life.
"Second worship high hall!"
Xi Niang was still talking to the side, but I couldn't hear clearly, suppressed the tears that were about to rise, and my hands clenched under my robe. Yun Zhenghe, what should I do, everything, everything, reminds me of you. What am I going to do?
"Husband and wife worship each other!"
The emcee's shouting woke me up from my memories, closed my eyes, let the tears melt in my eyes, and when I opened my eyes, I saw that the two had finished worshipping, and the emcee shouted: "Licheng, send it to the cave room." ”
The bride and the bride left the main hall with the bride in their arms, and accepted the congratulations of the guests with a smile and greeted them for a feast. When there were fewer people around him, I walked up to Silent Cloud and deliberately got closer so that I could observe his expression: "General Silence, congratulations!" ”
"Thank you, Mrs. Yun!" He looked at me with a happy face, and his eyes were open, and there was no trace of anything unusual. I can't help but wonder if the person last night was really him? At this moment, the black dragon jade gradually became hot on my neck, and I was shocked in my heart, and I couldn't help but take a step back. Silent Surprise Cloud said with concern: "Is Madam Yun unwell?" The face is so bad. ”
"Ah, there are too many people, a little chest tightness." I grabbed the black dragon jade, feeling the jade burning more and more in my palm, and hurriedly said, "The concubine is a little uncomfortable, I want to leave first, don't be surprised, general." ”
"Where, Mrs. Yun is not feeling well, so she should go back to rest early." Silent Jingyun said politely, "Jingyun is not well greeted, Madame is not strange." ”
"How?" I smiled reluctantly, "The concubine doesn't bother the general to greet the guests." ”
Stepping out of the gate of the General's Mansion, the scorching heat of the jade gradually decreased, but it exuded warmth. I let go of the black dragon jade, and the warmth of the jade remained unabated, leaving me puzzled. I secretly decided in my heart that after returning home, I would definitely ask Mr. Fu what was going on. The sedan chair man carried the sedan chair over, and was about to get on the sedan chair, when he saw a person leaning on the stone lion seat outside the general's mansion a few steps away. I couldn't see his face clearly, but I felt that his figure was somewhat familiar, and I walked over and saw him holding a flask and pouring it into his mouth. When he saw me, he was slightly stunned, and I smiled: "It's been a long time, Shen Yan." ”
"Sister-in-law." He straightened up. My eyes fell on the flask in his hand and I smiled slightly: "Do you have time?" Let's go for a cup of tea. ”
