Soon after the Mid-Autumn Festival, it was An Ruolian's marriage.
An Ruolian was carried by her daughter in her early years, and now that she is married, An Ruolan and An Ruojin have to send her relatives.
It is said that crying and crying and crying, and on the day of the wedding, you have to cry, looking at An Ruolian, whose eyes are red and tears are not stopping, the elders and sisters of the Hou Mansion can't help but wipe the corners of their eyes.
Not to mention the good or bad relationship on weekdays, after all living together for so many years, it is inevitable that there will be some reluctance when they are separated.
If you get married, you are from another family, and it will be difficult to meet in the future, at this moment, An Ruojin and An Ruolian completely solved the grievances of the past, and the two got back together.
Firecrackers sounded, An Ruolian said goodbye to the elders in the family, and got on the sedan chair with the support of Xi Po, and the big red sedan chair was carried out of the door, and the red makeup stretched.
Beating gongs and drums all the way, the sedan chair arrived at Lin Jue's Mansion, and after the ceremony was completed, the relatives and guests were welcomed into the main hall and sat down, and An Ruolian was sent into the new house.
The bride's parents were not among the relatives, An Ruolian was sent by An Erye and some uncles and brothers and sisters in the Hou Mansion, and there was a table of men and women, which gave her a great face.
Every time there is a big joy, the elders will inevitably drink a few more glasses while they are happy, but An Ruolan and other girls who come to see off their relatives don't have to drink more, and after eating at the other table, they will go to the new room to accompany An Ruolian.
The wedding banquet lasted until Shenshi, and most of the gentlemen who came to see off their relatives were drunk, but fortunately, they were sent by Lin Jue's Mansion to pick them up when they came, and they were the same when they returned, so they didn't have to worry about not going back.
All the way back to the Hou Mansion, several people who had drunk too much almost sobered up, and helped each other to get out of the carriage in front of the second gate.
Now that An Ruolian is married, An Ruojin is the eldest girl in the house, at this time, she has to come forward to say a few words, but she doesn't want to be pulled by the drunken An Wensheng, and she will pay for it vigorously.
"Jin'er, my brother is wrong, it doesn't matter if you stay in the Hou Mansion for the rest of your life, my brother is reluctant to marry you......"
Xu It was An Ruolian's marriage that made him feel very deeply, so he had such an idea.
An Ruojin's eyes were red unconsciously, and her heart was sour and astringent.
"Okay, big brother, you've drunk too much, hurry back to your room and rest." An Wenyan came up to support the crumbling An Wensheng and was about to pull him away.
An Wensheng refused to leave, holding An Ruojin's hand and crying and saying, which made everyone on the side sad.
In the end, Second Master An couldn't look at it, so he forcibly dragged An Wensheng down.
"Your brother also cherishes you, don't take the foolish things you did in the past." An Shiyan persuaded An Ruojin.
An Ruojin smiled bitterly and shook her head, her brother knew whether she ate soft or not, and she also knew how good her brother's alcohol was, and she could tell at a glance whether her brother was drunk or awake.
Seeing this, An Shiyan did not persuade her again, but turned to An Ruolan and said with concern: "How long will Lan'er stay in the Hou Mansion?" You are still young, and you are your daughter's family, it is inevitable that people will be suspicious when you go out to run errands, if there is any difficulty in the future, just ask the elders for help, as for those rumors......"
"Are you going to come and discipline me for losing my honor?" An Ruolan stiffened her face and interrupted him impatiently.
"I didn't mean that!" An Shiyan waved his hand again and again, and sighed helplessly: "Don't always resist me like this, I just want to make it easier for you." ”
This is what he says from the bottom of his heart, and it is also what he has been working hard for.
An Ruolan pursed the corners of her mouth and said after a while: "This is the path I chose myself." ”
"But you are still young, and your ability to recognize people and things is still insufficient." Ahn Shiyanjun's brows furrowed, looking very worried.
I want to say that you don't have to worry, my father-in-law arranged a qiē for me, but when the words came to her lips and circled around the tip of her tongue a few times, she still changed her mouth and said, "You just take care of the fifth aunt." ”
Hearing this, thinking that she was still filial to the Meng family, An Shiyan was moved for a while and promised: "This is certain." ”
I really didn't have anything to say to him, An Ruolan casually said a few perfunctory words, and pulled An Ruojin to say goodbye and go back to the room.
Back in the room, An Ruojin reproached: "Even if you are impatient, you shouldn't come out, the fifth uncle is yours and your biological father." ”
"I know." An Ruolan sighed lowly, not that she didn't want to get along with him, but that she didn't know how to get along with him.
The biological father and daughter have done their job, which is also unprecedented.
An Ruojin knew that she was not necessarily happy in her heart, so she didn't mention it again.
As soon as August passed, at the beginning of September, it was the day of the martial arts examination, An Ruolan couldn't help but think of Wei Xing, just when she was hesitant to watch the martial arts test of the second level of martial arts, Zhou Mi'er sent a letter to her, saying that Zhou Yongyi also participated in the martial arts this year, and invited her to join in the fun.
This reason is bright, and An Ruolan immediately agreed.
She wanted to ask An Ruojin to go with a few people, thinking that she might be able to meet Cousin Yongxuan and pull the strings for An Ruojin, but An Ruojin politely refused, An Ruoke wanted to go back to her grandfather's house with the third lady, An Zeruoyan has never liked to move around, so she had to go alone.
The first level of the martial arts examination has ended, and only candidates who have passed the guò literary examination can enter the martial arts examination, which greatly reduces the number of candidates, but despite this, it will still take a full three days to complete the assessment of all candidates.
The place for the assessment of the martial arts examination is the garrison barracks in the eastern suburbs of Shengdong, which has a school field dedicated to military exercises and military training, as well as various facilities required for the military examination, which can be used by hundreds of candidates for the assessment at the same time.
On this day, An Ruolan went out early, and after meeting Zhou Mi'er in front of the east gate of the city, he followed the Zhou family's carriage to the military camp in the eastern suburbs.
The process of the military examination is not open to the public, that is to say, the examination room is completely closed, except for the officials sent by the Ministry of War to inspect and supervise, as well as the examiners and candidates, the rest of the people are not allowed to enter the examination room, which is the main reason why the examination room is selected in the barracks.
However, there are still favors under the law, and with Zhou Yuhan's ability, it is not too difficult to let his daughter go in to see the second son exam.
The martial arts test is different from the literary test, there is no such thing as cheating, it is to occasionally let two idlers in, but it does not affect anything, but if you want to enter, you must disguise yourself as a member of the patrol team.
Zhou Yuhan entrusted the relationship and let Zhou Mi'er and An Ruolan get into the patrol team.
People who have the same idea as Zhou Yuhan, as well as Wei Guogong, are when An Ruolan, who was dressed as a small soldier, and Zhou Mi'er met Wei Shao, who was also dressed as a soldier, the three little sisters were simply happy.
After gathering together and chattering for a while, the three of them pretended to follow the patrol into the barracks.
This time the patrol envoy was the secretary of the military department, and he knew the purpose of the three eldest ladies coming in, and it happened that Zhou Yongyi and Wei Xing were in the same place, so after bringing people here, they left the three of them there.
With the identity of the inspector, An Ruolan and the three of them can blatantly watch the exam.
After the first round of examinations, the candidates will enter the re-examination, and the actual operation items such as camp formation, mines, gunpowder, chariots, etc., will be selected to give a banquet according to the rules of the text, so that the martial arts will be completely over.
When An Ruolan and the three arrived, they had already tested the third horse shooting on the field.
It took two more batches of people to wait for Zhou Yongyi.
In her previous life, she was very surprised when she received a letter from Zhou Mi'er and learned that he was also going to participate in martial arts, after all, the Zhou family is also a famous scholarly family, and it is really shocking that the second son would abandon literature and martial arts.
However, I have to say that with Zhou Yongyi's temperament, he is really suitable for martial arts, let him study, he will have a headache and sleepiness before he reads a few pages.
An Ruolan couldn't help but complain a few words to Zhou Mi'er: "Brother Yongyi always plays with those sons of families who read scriptures on weekdays, and most of them are angry when they dress up, so it's no wonder that I was surprised to hear him take the martial arts exam." ”
Zhou Mi'er was also very helpless, and said: "There is a reason for this, the second brother has admired and admired Aunt Jiu since he was a child, and vowed to be like Aunt Jiu, to be a Confucian general, and to act in the same style as a literati on weekdays." ”
"That's right." An Ruolan nodded, and the elegant and imposing face of King Jin involuntarily appeared in his mind.
"Look, look, my brother is up!" Wei Shao suddenly shouted happily, An Ruolan and Zhou Mi'er hurriedly covered her mouth, so as not to attract the suspicion of others.
"Be quiet!" The two of them shouted in unison, making a silent motion.
Wei Shao stuck out his tongue and was quiet.
An Ruolan looked up, and really saw the guard holding the reins in one hand and the bow in the other, and trotted into the examination room on horseback.
I saw that the young man was tall and heroic, and the movement of bending the bow and arrow on horseback was smooth and neat, and the feather arrow that was ready to shoot pierced the air like lightning, hitting the red heart of the arrow.
There was a cheer from the sidelines.
"Tut-tut, I'm much better than my second brother." Zhou Mi'er was sincerely admired.
Wei Shao raised his chin proudly, "Of course, my brother can start practicing martial arts when he can walk!" If it weren't for the fact that women can't participate in martial arts, I can show off! ”
"Bah, bragging." Zhou Mi'er was unconvinced and said: "Although your brother is very skilled, my second brother has read a lot of military books, and you must be better than my brother in the strategic formation!" ”
Seeing that the two were about to quarrel, An Ruolan hurriedly persuaded: "Okay, your brothers are very powerful, unlike the ones in my family, either they don't know how to shake their heads and read, or they just enjoy flowers and birds and paint all day long, and they don't have your brother's interest." ”
"Don't say anything against your will." Zhou Mi'er sneered and said: "Your eldest brother is a little Sanyuan, your second cousin is a well-known young painter in Shengjing, and An Wenyan is even more in the limelight, what else are you dissatisfied with in the coming year's big Sanyuan?" ”
"It feels like it's amazing." Wei Shao's eyes were shining.
An Ruolan blinked slyly and said, "I'm just saying to comfort you, what's the dissatisfaction." "A proud look of honor.
"Phew!" Zhou Mi'er and Wei Shao scolded her together.
The three of them laughed under their breath for a while, and the tension disappeared.
When the morning exam was about to end, the secretary of the military department came over and picked up the three of them and sent them out of the barracks.
The carriage of the Zhou Mansion and the Wei Guo Mansion was waiting not far from the barracks, and they quickly rushed over, and the three of them got into the carriage and changed their clothes, waiting for Zhou Yongyi and the guards to come out.
Because there is no concern about cheating, candidates who live in Shengjing can choose to go home to rest after the exam in the morning and afternoon every day, and Zhou Mi'er and Wei Shao have told their brother early that they will come to pick them up.
As soon as noon arrived, the closed barracks gate opened, and the local candidates who applied to go home to rest took the camp documents and came out of it one after another.
"Hey, why did my brother walk with your brother?" Wei Shao bumped into Zhou Mi'er's arm next to him in confusion.
An Ruolan and Zhou Mi'er raised their eyes and looked, the people who couldn't be beaten with eight poles, didn't they just walk together, looking at that look, it seemed that they were still talking happily.
The three of them hurriedly greeted them, and before they got closer, Wei Shao asked bluntly: "Brother, do you know Mi'er's second brother?" ”
"Second brother, do you know each other?" Zhou Mi'er also asked.
An Ruolan fell at the end, and greeted the two of them slightly with a smile.
As soon as Wei Xing's eyes touched her, he couldn't move away, and he didn't even hear Wei Shao's question clearly.
Zhou Yongyi waved his hand and smiled: "No, no, I just met, I saw that Brother Wei was outstanding, and I had the heart to make friends, so I went up and said a word, and I met him." ”
"I see." Zhou Mi'er shook her head.
An Ruolan couldn't help but joke: "Brother Yongyi is good at the art of war and strategy, I think I want to covet Wei Gongzi's skills, right?" ”
Hearing this, Zhou Yongyi lowered her shoulders and hummed: "That's why you say that Xiaoliu is the most unpleasant, and if you are in public, you can't save some face for your brother?" ”
"Huh?! It turns out that Brother Yongyi still talks about face? An Ruolan pretended to blink in surprise.
"Stinky girl!" Zhou Yongyi smiled and rolled up her sleeves to teach her a lesson.
Naturally, it is impossible to really do it, and the cousins laughed and laughed, and their posture was casual and natural.
Looking at An Ruolan's cheerful and bright smile, Wei Xing squirmed and opened his mouth, and the words he wanted to say were swallowed back into his stomach, and his mood was even more inexplicably swaying to the bottom.
Sensing his strange appearance, Wei Shao shook his arm and asked with concern, "Brother, what's wrong with you?" ”
What's wrong? He didn't know what was wrong with him.
It's just that...... I just don't want to see her as close and intimate as other people.
Wei Xing shook his head.
Seeing this, Wei Shao was confused, but she was not a person who loved to study deeply, and thought that he was tired from the exam, so she quickly put this little strangeness aside.
After laughing for a while, An Ruolan invited everyone to go to Jinxiu Building for dinner, and said with a smile: "Just think it's to celebrate in advance for you." ”
"I love to hear that!" Zhou Yongyi snapped his fingers.
The group then rushed to the Splendid Building.
With An Ruolan, the young owner, the shopkeeper of Jinxiu Building directly took the person to the top of the Drunken Immortal Pavilion and arranged the best wine, food and tea.
Because there was an exam in the afternoon, everyone didn't dare to get carried away, they didn't move to drink, they only drank tea and ate vegetables, and they were laughing and joking outside, but they were also relaxed.
After eating, Zhou Yongyi and Wei Xing went to the room to rest, and An Ruolan and the three of them went for a walk in the garden behind Jinxiu Building, saying that they would wake them up when the time came.
Wei Shao is an idle person, in the splendid garden, she doesn't like to enjoy flowers, but she prefers to play hide and seek, where is An Ruolan willing to accompany her to play this child's game, but she doesn't want to be coerced by Wei Shao and Zhou Mi'er to be a "ghost" to catch people, and lie on the pillar of the verandah alone, waiting for the two to hide.
After counting, she wandered around the huge garden boredly, looking for the two who didn't know where to hide, but she didn't know that Wei Shao had already sneaked back to the Drunken Immortal Pavilion and called Wei Xing.
"Brother, Ruolan said that I have something to discuss with you, and I will wait for you in the back garden, you can go quickly!" Wei Shao lied without changing his face.
Seeing that the eldest brother was about to be unable to resist the dead face of the aunt, and agreed to marry Qin Yiqing, how could she not seek a chance for Ruolan? She has been thinking about this for a long time, and God is helping her today.
Wei Xing thought that his sister was lying to him, and thought that An Ruolan really had something to look for him, and he was happy and worried at the moment, and asked, "What's the matter?" Why didn't you say it when you were there just now? ”
After the last time he fell into the water, he learned that many men and women in the family are taboo when they get along, and he knew that men should not meet women in private, so he was excited and worried at the same time.
Wei Shao was so asked that he couldn't answer, and said hesitantly: "How do I know, don't you know if you go?" ”
As he spoke, he pushed the guard punishment out.
Wei Xing couldn't resist the excitement in his heart, so he didn't hesitate anymore and hurried to the garden.
The plan succeeded, and Wei Shao quietly followed with a smile.
Uncontrollable anticipation swelled in his heart, and the guard walked quickly and unhurriedly through the long corridor to the garden in the backyard, where the figure that often lingered in dreams loomed among the flowers.
His heartbeat was a few beats faster, and he subconsciously tidied up his clothes that were a little messy due to the rapid walking, and straightened his braids.
An Ruolan searched all the places where there might be hidden people, but still didn't find Zhou Mi'er and Wei Shao, just when she couldn't bear it anymore and was about to stop playing, a low and trembling call suddenly sounded behind her.
"Ruolan." A familiar voice, imperceptible tenderness, at that moment, An Ruolan thought that she had returned to her previous life, and it was her husband who was standing behind her.
Suddenly looking back, what appeared in front of me was that familiar, still a little immature face.
On the other side of the flowers, it was not the guard who loved her with all his heart.
In a trance, An Ruolan's eyes were wet.
Wei Xing realized that the name he rushed out of his mouth was a bit abrupt, so he hurriedly changed his words and said, "Miss Anliu." ”
An Ruolan had already cleaned up her mood and smiled: "Young Master Wei." ”
After that, the two fell silent.
Wei Xing looked at her slightly drooping eyes, as well as her upturned eyelashes, his throat was a little dry, his Adam's apple rolled, and he said with difficulty: "Xiao Shao said that you have something to discuss with me, what is the matter?" ”
"Huh?" An Ruolan looked up at him in surprise, and the confusion in his eyes made his heart pause.
"That's it, it's Xiao Shao who said...... "Wei Xing became stammering.
An Ruolan was so smart that she immediately guessed that Wei Shao was making trouble behind her back, and she probably knew why Wei Shao did this.
Smiling slightly, she didn't debunk Wei Shao's trick, nodded and said, "Forgive me for taking the liberty of hearing that Wei Gongzi was injured, so I wanted to ask Wei Gongzi if his injury was healed." ”
"Yes, that's right." Wei Xing pulled out a smile, trying to hide the disappointment in his eyes.
An Ruolan pretended not to understand the love in his eyes, turned around, pushed the hair hanging down from his ears back behind his ears, and said with a smile: "I heard that Miss Qin is also injured, I don't know if she has also recovered?" ”
"Thank you Miss Anliu for your concern, Yiqing's injury is no longer a big problem." The guard replied dryly, his eyes fixed on her white fingertips.
"That's good." An Ruolan nodded nonchalantly and looked into the distance.
Obviously, it was just a stone's throw away, but Wei Xing suddenly felt that she was so far away from herself, and she was not as lively and agile as in front of others.
"You ......," he said hesitantly, his fingers habitually clenched, "don't you have anything to ask me?" ”
An Ruolan slowly turned her head to look at him and shook her head silently.
Such an indifferent attitude made his heart tingle, and he couldn't help but burst out: "Don't you want to know about me and Yiqing at all?!" ”
"I don't want to." An Ruolan sank his face, a resentment surged in his heart, and he asked sharply: "Why should I care about your affairs?" Who are you counting me? ”
It was he who was first deceived by Qin Yiqing's disguise, and became emotionally vacillating, and now, what qualifications do he have to question her? And in this life, they don't have so many intersections and feelings.
The body of the guard was shocked, and he was speechless.
Yes, who is he, the number of times they have met can be counted on one hand, and they haven't said much, the only intersection may be the business of Jinyinlou and Xiao Shao.
This realization frustrated him, but he still felt unwilling because of her "I don't want to".
He tried to explain: "Yiqing was injured to save me, I can't ignore her, do you want me to be an ungrateful person?" ”
"It's not about me." An Ruolan's tone became more and more cold, as if she didn't want to listen to him messing around anymore, she turned around and was about to leave.
"Don't you want to see me?" In a hurry, Wei Xing stepped over the flowers in front of him in three or two steps and grabbed her wrist.
The confinement on her wrist made An Ruolan frown, she struggled, but she didn't break free, she became more and more annoyed, kicked his calf, and said coldly: "Please let Master Wei be respectful." ”
Wei Xing suffered pain, but still refused to let go, and only stubbornly said: "Why can't you understand my embarrassment?" Ruolan, Ruolan ......" He called her name, but couldn't say the following words.
Listening to his call, An Ruolan's eyes were sour, she held back her tears, and said bitterly: "Wei Gongzi is a righteous and awe-inspiring person, and everything you do is right." ”
"I ...... I ......" Wei Xing panicked, let go of her hand, and the next moment clenched it again.
An Ruolan broke his fingers one by one, and said firmly and stubbornly: "I don't know why Wei Gongzi is embarrassed, but after you can make a decision, I can listen to your answer." ”
"How long? How long can you wait? The guard finally let go of his hand.
"Maybe a few days, maybe a few months, maybe a few years." An Ruolan gave him a vague answer.
"I see." Wei Xing lowered his hand, looked at her indifferent side face, and asked word by word: "Who am I yours?" ”
He wanted to hear her answer.
An Ruolan finally raised her eyes to look at him, and her tone was gentle and sincere: "The me in your heart determines the you in my heart." ”
At that moment, his eyes were incomparably bright. (My novel "To Be Married" will have more fresh content on the official WeChat platform, and there will also be 100 lucky draw gifts for everyone!)
