Chapter 226: Change

Daqi's dress was gorgeous and exquisite, Xiao Yu's slender fingers stroked the intricate embroidery, and the corners of her lips couldn't help but raise a smile.

The fan embroidered with peony pulsatilla is also placed aside.

Because he was worried about any accidents, Xiao Fu prepared two sets of wedding dresses for Xiao Yu this time.

Now, as the auspicious day is getting closer and closer, several aunts have personally carefully reviewed these things, but they are afraid that there is something missing.

And this process of welcoming relatives has been rehearsed many times in the mouth center of the Xiao family and the county lord's mansion, for fear that a little chaos will affect the faint ceremony.

But the sky is not beautiful, the weather is still sunny when the dowry is sent during the day, this time Xiao Yu came out of the room, but saw that the sky was piled up with black and dark purple and red clouds, the north wind blew, the snow on the trees fell one after another, and it was blown clean by the wind in a moment.

It's going to be another heavy snowfall.

Just thinking about it, Xiao Yu saw a little snowflake falling in the sky, fluttering lightly and freely with the wind, and the red plum blossoms in the courtyard were in full bloom, reflecting in the snow particularly brightly.

It didn't take long for the snow to fall more and more densely, the pavilions and pavilions in the garden, the rockery flowers and trees were shrouded in white snow, and the world was white and boundless, just like the Yaochi fairyland.

Soon there was a thick layer of snow under the stone steps.

It wasn't very cold when it snowed, but after looking at it for a long time, his eyes were uncomfortable, Xiao Yu lightly pulled the fox fur cloak on his body, and turned around to go back to the house.

In the past, it was already dark at this time, but today because of the snow, it was a little brighter than usual, and the crisp sound of dead branches breaking could be heard from time to time outside, which was still heard clearly in the north wind. It should not be able to bear the heavy burden of snow.

Xiao Yu thinks that the artistic conception of many poems is really good, such as this sentence: I know that the snow is heavy at night, and I hear the sound of breaking bamboo.

Then. Yuzhu smiled and said, "County Lord, it's night, let's rest early." ”

Because the auspicious day is approaching, everyone in the house is worried that Xiao Yu will not rest well, and he will not have the energy on the day of the wedding, so he will supervise more than before.

And Xiao Yu was also very cooperative, and nodded immediately. Change clothes and go to bed.

In fact, the worries of everyone in the house are not unreasonable, Xiao Yu has indeed been a little bad lately, especially when he thinks that he is about to get married. It is even more inexplicably nervous and anxious.

In addition to worrying about the various discomforts of being a new wife, and feeling at a loss about to face all the strange people and things in the Hua family, Xiao Yu was even worried that she didn't know how to get along with Hua Yue. Although it is said that it will be done after the ceremony. She still felt uneasy.

And Xiao Yu was worried about other things.

If the above Xiao Pei and Ling Yan can be understood, the latter makes everyone feel that Xiao Yu is really too anxious.

Xiao Yu is always worried about what will happen before the faint ceremony, such as Emperor Qi suddenly retracting the will to give marriage, or Hua Yue has an accident, or she herself suddenly falls ill, and then there is someone snatching her relatives, maybe the frontier is suddenly in turmoil, or someone is making trouble at the faint ceremony......

Whether it is Ling Yan, Xiao Pei or several sisters-in-law who have come over. None of them can stop Xiao Yu from thinking wildly and even boldly these days.

For example, today when the dowry was given to the Hua family, Xiao Yu was still worried about whether there would be thieves robbing him in broad daylight.

It made Ling Yan a little ridiculous.

Now everything is going well. It proved that Xiao Yu's worries were superfluous, but she still didn't look at ease, which inevitably made the whole house worry about her.

In recent days, Xiao Yu has become quite light sleep, and if there is a slight movement at night, she will wake up, in order to avoid disturbing her, there is now only a big girl on night duty in the house.

Thinking of this, Yuzhu sighed in his heart, and after serving Xiao Yu to sleep, he blew out the candle flame and went out to watch the night.

The footsteps quietly went out, and the room was quiet, and the sound of falling snow and bamboo outside could be heard through the window.

Xiao Yu couldn't sleep, she felt irritable inexplicably, she tossed and turned, she couldn't fall asleep for a long time, so she simply got up and took off the jade pendant that felt a little awkward in her heart and put it into the dark compartment of the bed, which seemed to be more comfortable, and Fang lay down and closed her eyes again.

However, half-asleep, Xiao Yu seemed to smell a strange aroma, and when she woke up, she held her breath, and she only felt a sharp pain in the back of her neck, and fainted.

Before losing consciousness, Xiao Yu had only one thought: Didn't he say that Jiang Qingyuan guarded the county lord's mansion impenetrable?

……

It was still snowing heavily outside the house, Jiang Qingyuan was wearing a big hat, and led a few guards to patrol the garden, when he suddenly heard a slight sound.

"Who?!" One of the guards shouted.

"But someone broke in?" Jiang Qingyuan immediately asked seriously.

The guard showed hesitation on his face, and said uncertainly, "I seemed to have seen a dark shadow just now. ”

Jiang Qingyuan's face froze, and he became more solemn: "Where did you go?" ”

The guard hesitated slightly, and pointed uncertainly to the side of the main courtyard and said, "It seems to be over there." I didn't see it very clearly, maybe I was wrong, the wind and snow are so big......"

But Jiang Qingyuan did not let this matter go because of this: "For the sake of prudence, you and I will look over there, Liu Qiang and the two of you will search nearby, so that everyone can pay attention to it." ”

After speaking, he strode forward, and the man next to him hurriedly responded.

Nothing unusual was found along the way.

However, Jiang Qingyuan did not take this lightly. With such a big snowstorm, if there are footprints or something like that, it will be covered up in an instant, so naturally you can't see anything.

When he went to the middle courtyard to check, he alarmed Xiao Yucheng, he was worried about Xiao Pei and Xiao Yu, so he went to the backyard with Jiang Qingyuan at the moment.

The four of them, Huqin, Siqi, Shishu, and Painting, woke up leisurely, and immediately realized that a few people had just been hit by the incense, and their hearts sank at the moment, regardless of whether their legs and feet were still a little weak, and they went straight into the inner room.

Yuzhu in the house was still unconscious, and the bedding on the bed in the middle was messy and empty.

The hearts of the four of them suddenly sank to the bottom, and they quickly searched in the room, looked at each other, looked at the open window, and Baoqin jumped out of the window, and stayed in the room with the painting, while Si Qi and the waiter walked briskly to the door.

The two of them hadn't walked far before a little maid rubbed her eyes and came to meet them, and immediately said when she saw someone: "Two sisters, Jiang Shen Ling just came over and said that there seems to be a thief in the house, let me protect ......."

"The county lord has been taken captive!" Si Qi interrupted the little girl's words in a deep voice.

"What did you say?"

Xiao Pei, who was also alarmed, heard this sentence when he rushed over, and suddenly felt that the world was spinning for a while, and he almost fell to the ground without standing firmly.

The little maid was so frightened that she couldn't sleep at all.

……

When Xiao Yu woke up, it was already bright daylight, and after getting used to the somewhat dazzling light, she remembered what happened last night, and her heart was groaning, and she looked down and found that she didn't have a wisp on her body!

felt a rush of hot blood surging on his head, Xiao Yu was shocked and angry, ashamed and angry, and wanted to do something, but saw that his hands and feet were tied.

After a slight struggle, the sound of the bell rang, and Xiao Yu noticed that there was still this thing hanging on the bed.

Such a situation made Xiao Yu's mind blank.

Footsteps rang out the door.

Xiao Yu forced herself to calm down, there was no discomfort under her, and the worst thing imaginable should not have happened.

Although he knew that it was useless, when he heard the sound of the door opening, Xiao Yu couldn't help but want to curl up.

only heard a coquettish laughter, but inexplicably with a chill, Xiao Yu almost couldn't help but shiver when he heard it, and immediately raised his head.

A woman with a beautiful face pushed the door open. The woman was obviously smiling, but there didn't seem to be half a smile on her face, she looked stiff and weird.

However, before Xiao Yu could speak, the door opened again.

When he saw the familiar appearance of the visitor, Xiao Yu's eyes widened in astonishment, and he was speechless for a long time. (To be continued......)
