On the night of the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, there was a big mess, and the Shangyuan Festival, which was originally scheduled to be three days ago, ended hastily.

While most of the lanterns are still on the streets, the festive atmosphere of Jiatong City is gone.

The common people closed their doors, and the streets were full of officers and soldiers, and at the same time, all kinds of rumors were breeding in secret.

Early in the morning of the 16th, a mourning hall was set up in the Ping'an Hou Mansion, and many officials went to mourn, Jiang Xianyan recuperated at home, and sent the housekeeper Jiang He to go for him.

The next day, many officials who were good friends with Jiang Xianyan came to visit him in person, and Lin Shinan was ordered to arrest the assassin, but he couldn't get out, so his wife Lin Wu came to the door with her eldest son.

Lin Shinan got married late, and his eldest son Lin Changying was just in his early twenties, with a calm temperament, looking shrewd and capable, quite like his father's demeanor.

Lin Wu came over to greet Mrs. Jiang by the way, and whispered to Mrs. Jiang's wife, her cousin.

Mainly on the fifteenth night, she enjoyed the lanterns on Santai Street, and told Jiang Wu's about the thief and the snake, and the matter passed more than a day, Lin Wu's was still afraid for a while, and whispered: "Your mother-in-law is really sick, fortunately you didn't go, my God, until now I still have the drum faintly ringing in my ears, and I don't dare to turn off the lights and sleep at night." ”

Jiang Wu covered his face and said: "Seventh sister, why are these thieves so bold, when I think of our master being stabbed, I am simply scared out of my soul, if he has a good one, I, what can I do for the rest of my life?" ”

Lin Wu's family stopped, isn't it, these two families still don't have a son and a half daughter, if Jiang Xianyan dies. There is a wife left, plus an old lady, and there will be no pension in the future.

She remembered the Jiang family's rumor about succession. I had the heart to ask, but seeing that Jiang Wu was sad, he couldn't speak for a while.

The two of them sighed at each other, and neither mentioned the trouble that the Great Wu clan had caused at this time.

There were too many guests who came to visit the patient, especially Lin Shinan's wife and son also came to the door, in the eyes of Wen Sheng and Wang Shisan, it was obvious that this was here to inquire about the news. The two of them, plus Tong Baishuang, who had returned home yesterday, hid in the house very knowingly, not taking half a step out of the door.

"You really want to get married?" Yun Lu looked at Wen Sheng and Wang Shisan, although he had been trying to digest the news for more than a day. It still feels incredible.

Wang 13 sat on the side with a spring breeze on his face, and said half-truthfully: "Isn't it bad lately, I haven't caught the surnamed Zhong a few times, and you are injured like this again." We pondered. Just do the happy event early and rush the bad luck. ”

Yun Lu didn't understand, and opened his mouth wide as if he was demented: What? No, how can he afford that?

Wen Sheng smiled: "Brother Yun, don't believe him, we are both not young anymore, and I don't know when I will return to Nanchong when I leave, so I simply settled the family matter." Let Thirteen's grandmother and uncle rest assured, and they will be happy and happy. ”

Yun Lu breathed a sigh of relief. muttered: "Ding, I'm so poor at this time, and I don't have anything to give you, I owe it first, and I'll make up for it when I return to Daliang." ”

He thought it was okay to be married, although the men and women were married, the status was decided, and it was unlikely that there would be any changes in the future, and he didn't want to have it, but there was finally a buffer room, whether it was him or the relatives and friends over there, it was not so sudden.

Wang 13 grinned and climbed along the pole: "What is it?" Listening to this, Brother Yun still saved some money on Daliang's side? ”

Yun Lu is nearly ten years older than Wang Thirteen, don't look at him for so many years in the rivers and lakes, he really doesn't have any savings, hearing Wang Thirteen say this, he smiled calmly: "Compared to you being the king on Bingsha Island, it is definitely not enough, you can only show a little affection." ”

He asked the two of them again: "Why is the appointment so grand, and the happy words are pasted, and I am ready to blow and blow, I should have directly set up a wine and worship hall." ”

This is actually what Jiang Xianyan meant, at the moment he didn't find out Lin Shinan's true intentions, plus he was holding each other's handles, he had scruples, and it was not easy to make a move, but Zhong Tianzheng had already pointed the finger at him, how could Jiang Xianyan suffer this knife in vain, and let the ghost boy be presumptuous on his territory.

He wanted to take advantage of this marriage to lure Zhong Tianzheng to take the bait, lay a net of heaven and earth, and wipe out all his people.

Wang 13 concluded: "As the saying goes, if you can't bear the child, you can't trap the wolf......"

Wen Sheng smiled when he heard this, but did not make a sound.

Wang 13 suddenly remembered the next sentence, reluctant to let his daughter-in-law catch the hooligan, and scolded secretly, grandma, don't you say this is what is happening in front of you, this is not good, the hooligan has to be arrested, and the daughter-in-law is not reluctant.

You have to be optimistic, and you must not let the person surnamed Zhong get half a cold hair.

Wen Sheng didn't notice that he suddenly stopped silent, his eyes rolled wildly, he had already said a word to Yun Lu at this time, and when she returned to Daliang, Yun Lu stayed, and if there was any urgency, he could contact Tong Baishuang.

They had already asked Tong Baishuang's opinion, she wanted to stay in Jiatong for a while longer, no need to ask, she must have wanted to wait to see the fate of the Wu family.

"When are you leaving?" Yun Lu saw that she had even thought about these things so carefully, and knew that the two of them must have already set a time to set off.

"Let's see the day after tomorrow, as long as the thing is done, we will leave immediately." Wen Sheng was worried that it would take a long time and cause unnecessary trouble to Jiang Xianyan.

Jiang Xianyan did his best for this arrest operation and made careful arrangements.

He summoned all the people scattered outside, but overnight, the guards, small servants and even maids in the house were replaced by many new faces that Wen Sheng and Wang Shisan did not know, some old people, like Jiang He, who often showed their heads outside, stayed, and the rest were temporarily arranged where.

Mrs. Jiang and the Wu family can't move their nests, and the vigilance in the backyard is the top priority.

It is said that Jiang Xianyan was just assassinated and injured, and it is reasonable to say that there are more guards at home, but the Di brothers in charge do not dare to splash the water.

If you can't even fly a fly, won't people see at a glance that there is something strange in it?

Wen Sheng simply moved to the backyard with Qin, ate and lived with Mrs. Jiang, and gave the original residence to Yunlu and was taken care of by Wang Shisan.

Yunlu and Wang Thirteen live together. No one reminded him, and he couldn't imagine that this house was where Wen Sheng and Wang Shisan lived together before, and the bed under him was the two of them lying together every night. The other set of bedding on the couch was used by Wen Sheng.

He felt that there was something really wrong with Wang Shisan.

Grab the quilt, grab the pillow, lie down at night and don't be honest, flip over and over with the quilt between your legs, a big man occasionally sighs, and I don't know what to toss around.

How did he know that Wang Thirteen was smelling the lingering fragrance on the bedding, and his heart was bitter.

This forced separation. It is conceivable that when I returned to the beam, there was no good thing to sleep in the same bed.

It is said that the good times will not last long. I wasn't prepared for it, what was I doing the night before? It seems that the matter of enjoying the lanterns on Santai Street has been discussed, and it is so wasted for one night and one night.

Let's say that two days have passed in the blink of an eye. Jiang Xianyan saw that everything was in order. Some are not at ease.

The bait was put down, and they all said that the ghost boy was cunning and wise, what if he didn't take the bait?

That kid doesn't leave Nanchong for a day, he has to be so guarded, if that's the case, wouldn't he be tired to death?

Early in the morning on the twentieth day of the first lunar month, Jiang Xianyan called Wen Sheng and Wang Shisan and asked the Di brothers to tell them about today's arrangements.

Now there is still martial law on the street, and the aftermath of the assassination of the Holy Driver on the Shangyuan Festival has not yet dissipated. Ping'an Hou didn't go out for the funeral either, so no matter what they had planned. Today's marriage must be simple.

However, Jiang He still prepared a sedan chair, invited the gong and drum team and the troupe, just waiting for the auspicious time to arrive, the bride will get on the sedan chair from a small cross-courtyard in the west of Mrs. Jiang's residence, the sedan chair is carried all the way to the front, not out of the house, in the east and west courtyards to turn around, and then carried to the door of the flower hall, the bride gets off the sedan chair, steps into the brazier, and enters the door to worship heaven and earth.

During this period, all the drummers from outside were restricted to the entrance of the flower hall and were not allowed to move around at will.

I didn't invite outsiders today, and if the enemy hadn't started after worshipping heaven and earth, I would send the bride into the cave room first.

The new house has long been cleaned up, with a separate yard.

Then the whole family has a wedding banquet together, and then asks the troupe to sing a play.

In order to be safe, today's bride is not Wen Sheng, but a woman with a similar figure to her, anyway, she is covered with a hijab, and outsiders can't see it.

Wen Sheng needs to change his appearance, dress up as a little maid, and quietly help recognize people outside.

Zhong Tianzheng has limited manpower, and the streets are heavily guarded, it is unlikely that he will lead people to attack and enter, but if he wants to sneak in, he will either hide in the gong and drum team, or mix in the troupe.

It just so happens that he has musicians under him.

Di Qiuheng said: "For the time being, I have thought of this, as long as they come, today is to catch turtles in the urn, there are many of us, plus there are masters like Young Master Lu and Miss Gu, so that they will not come back." Now my brother and I are worried that they don't know the news, or that they won't be able to come if they find something wrong. ”

Wang 13 said with certainty: "No, the thief surnamed Zhong will definitely come if he doesn't die." Even if he is afraid of death and does not dare to come, he will send others to rob his relatives. ”

Based on the few interactions he had with Zhong Tianzheng in Baizhou, it is enough to conclude that the surname Zhong is actually a small-bellied chicken intestine, and he has been coveting his daughter-in-law. He bet that he didn't need to prepare at all to enter the cave room, sing operas and listen to music, as long as he and Wen Sheng worshiped heaven and earth to let that kid see, he could vomit three liters of blood.

Besides, can you change the arrangement, he doesn't want to visit the church with other women.

Wen Sheng glanced at Wang Shisan and did not make a sound.

She didn't speak at this time, but she agreed with Wang Shisan's opinion, Jiang Xianyan nodded: "Then let's do this first, and the rest will act when the time comes." ”

According to the skills of these two juniors, there is really nothing to worry about.

Approaching noon, the people of Jiangfu took the gong and drum team and the troupe into the door, first had a lively meal in the front yard, sprinkled the happy money, Wen Sheng and Wang Shisanzang were high, looked at it from a distance, and found no familiar faces inside.

Wang 13 didn't believe it, so he came closer and took a look, but there was really none.

"Grandma's, those grandsons must have changed their faces." Wang Shisan grinded his fists, trying to find Zhong Tianzheng from among the dozens of people.

The Di brothers were undoubtedly very disappointed: "I should go out and publicize it, but the other party doesn't know about it at all." ”

"You look for it first, and I'll look at the bride behind me." Wen Sheng turned around and went downstairs after speaking, she had a faint premonition that Zhong Tianzheng might have brought someone into the mansion through the side channels.

Old Madam Jiang and Wu were staying with Jiang Xianyan, surrounded by entourage, it was difficult for raw faces to approach, Yunlu had Tong Baishuang watching, and the only opportunity was the bride's side.

But if the bride is herself, will anyone dare to make up her mind?

Wen Sheng was dressed as a maid at this time, because there was a happy event in the house, several big girls were wearing water-red dresses, Wen Sheng painted her skin color black, and she was skillfully dressed up by the people below, and she looked like a pretty girl with thick eyebrows and big eyes, but she was almost like two people before.

The old lady's yard now guards the door, sweeps it, feeds the birds, and waits for the water basin with a basin of water.

Wen Sheng came in all the way and asked quietly: "Is there anything abnormal?" "Have you seen outsiders?"

The answer was no.

Wen Sheng frowned slightly.

The bride to be married was already dressed and sitting in the room with her head covered, and a maid on the side was also found by Jiang Xianyan from outside.

Old Madam Jiang and the Wu family were still kept in the dark, ignorant of what was about to happen.

If they had gone to the chapel for a while, they would not have known that the bride had already changed her bag.

When the maid heard someone enter the house, she immediately followed the prestige, and there was a hint of nervousness in her eyes. When she saw a girl wearing the same clothes as her, she breathed a sigh of relief.

The bride sat motionless.

Wen Sheng saw a bamboo flute hanging outside the bride's wedding dress, and a guqin on the table next to him, and felt that the Di brothers were well prepared.

"What's your name?" Wen Sheng asked the maid.

"The slave maid is called Yi Zhu."

Wen Sheng thought for a while and said, "Yi Zhu, the sedan chair has arrived in a while, do you want to follow the sedan chair, or what?" ”

Yi Zhu said in a low voice: "The master commanded, the slave maid has to follow the young lady all the time." ”

Wen Sheng said: "Okay, when the time comes, we will have one on each side." ”

At this time, I listened to the sound of firecrackers outside the small courtyard getting closer and closer, and the mother-in-law who saw the yard was light-handed, and came to report: "The sedan chair is here." ”

Hulala, more than a dozen maids poured in from outside, clustering the big red sedan chair in the middle.

The sedan chair was carried by four people, all four of whom were young and wore new padded jackets.

The bride's sedan chair was picked up, but the groom didn't come with him.

Several mothers-in-law came to the door with a smile and said, "The bride, please get on the sedan chair, don't delay the auspicious time." ”

The bride stood up silently, groped her hand on the table, touched the guqin, picked it up, and held it in her arms, looking a little nervous.

A few mothers-in-law knew the inside story, and no one told her to put the piano down, Wen Sheng and Yi Zhu stepped forward, supported the bride on the left and right, and went out to sit in the sedan chair. (To be continued......)
