A few people stayed at night, but they were safe and sound along the way. After walking for three or four days from Beijing, I arrived in Mengjin, Henan. Mengjin is bordered by the ancient capital Luoyang in the south and the surging Yellow River in the north, and the terrain is dangerous, and it has always been a place for soldiers to fight. There were six dynasties such as the Western Zhou Dynasty, the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Cao Wei Dynasty, the Western Jin Dynasty and the Northern Wei Dynasty to build their capitals here, and 43 emperors issued edicts here. When a few people arrived in Mengjin Town, they were very happy when they saw the landform of the Central Plains, the hills and red soil.

Randie went to the front to find a shop to play hard, this store is called "Song's old store". After arranging the two upper rooms, he rode back to find Gege and led Gege into the inn. At this time, Gege and Hongcui were dressed in men's clothes for the convenience of travel.

When the shopkeeper saw this group of people, his behavior was extraordinary, and he was busy entertaining people before he was busy, and he was very attentive when serving tea and pouring water. Gege didn't like to eat in the hall, so he went to the room and was served by Hongcui to change clothes and wash his feet, and then Hongcui served the food, took two bites, and then rested on the bed.

After waiting for Gege, Hongcui began to eat. The dinner served was sweet potato cake with corn paste. Hongcui grew up in Jiangning, rarely eats this kind of coarse grain, took two bites, felt very crisp and delicious, and hurriedly asked Gege: "What is this made of, it's delicious." ”

Gege closed his eyes and said lightly from his mouth: "What's so difficult to do?" It's nothing more than cutting the yellow sweet potato into cubes, stirring the batter, and frying it in oil. ”

Hongcui smiled and said: "I admire Gege the most, is it really the heavenly Qu Xing descending to earth, there is nothing in the world that Gege doesn't know." ”

Gege opened his eyes, snorted and said, "You're going to be a fool!" Once you've eaten, let's rest for a while. Don't get tired after a long day's journey? ”

Hongcui hurriedly put down the dishes and chopsticks. hurried over, hugged Gege and said, "That Hongcui is going to sleep with Gege tonight." Sleeping with Gege in his arms. As long as Hongcui hugged Gege and slept very sweetly, she didn't even dream all night. ”

Gege raised his hand and patted her on the head. Said angrily: "I didn't see you girl giggling all day long, what kind of body is crazy, hurry up and rest." I'll have to get up early tomorrow and hurry. ”

Hongcui hugged Gege for a while before undressing and sleeping. The night was peaceful, and there was nothing to say.

Early the next morning, Dark Fragrance and Butterflies were still outside the door to say goodbye. Gege said inside, had breakfast, packed up and hurried.

Dark Fragrance and Randie then turned around and went back to the hall of the store to see what breakfast the store had prepared. but in the morning it was more abundant than in the evening. Fried dough sticks, corn paste, a few boiled eggs, and two plates of old pickles. Dark incense instructed the shopkeeper to bring the food to the Gege room and then go to eat by herself.

After a while, after breakfast, Randie saw that there was no movement in Gege's room, and hurriedly said, "Second brother, what do you say they are doing in the house this morning and evening?" ”

Dark incense scolded: "Third brother, stop talking, there is no reason to talk nonsense." ”

Butterfly smiled and said, "Aren't I curious? What can two women do in the house? "Finished. Afraid that Dark Xiang would teach him a lesson again, he hurriedly changed the topic and said, "Second brother, we just came to Mengjin, why don't we stay for two days before leaving?" Let's go to the Yellow River and have a good show? ”

Dark incense opened her mouth and said, "We came all the way from Jingshi. It's not a trick. If you want to play with butterflies, go back to Beijing to play by yourself. ”

Butterflies have always been able to advance and retreat, and they are angry when they see the dark fragrance. He laughed and said: "The second brother is not interesting, and it is serious to make a joke." The second brother said that if he didn't play, he wouldn't play. How big is it? But why haven't Gege and Hongcui come out yet? Is the relationship to marry in a sedan chair? ”

The more he listened, the more outrageous it became, and she ignored him. I asked the store for tea. At this time, the shopkeeper bent over, said a thousand to Dark Xiang, and said, "Master, someone outside handed over an invitation, saying that he would hand it over to the young man in the house." ”

Dark Fragrance was surprised, people here are not familiar with the place, how could someone send an invitation to Gege? He took the invitation and opened it, but it was written: At noon today, in the courtyard of the Su family in the east of the town, the rich man of Su Lin married his concubine, and specially invited the young man to stay in the house. The rich man of Su respectfully asks for respect.

Seeing this, Dark Xiang asked, "Shopkeeper, let me ask you, who is Su Lin in the town?" ”

The shopkeeper couldn't read, but when he heard Dark Xiang ask Su Lin, he replied in surprise: "This invitation was given by the rich man Su?" My lord, don't you know, the rich man Su is the richest man in our town, and there are people's Zhuangzi within a radius of ten miles. ”

Dark incense said in his heart, how could the rich man Su ask Gege? But it's not good to ask any more, and take the invitation card to see Gege. At this time, Gege got up early, had finished eating, and was urging Hongcui to pack her luggage and get up. Dark incense asked for peace at the door, and Gege ordered dark incense to come in. Dark incense held the invitation card in her hand and handed it to Gege.

Gege opened the invitation and looked at it for a while, and his heart was exactly the same as the dark incense. How could Su Lin invite her over when he married a concubine? After thinking about it for a long time, she didn't have any dealings with Meng Jin's surname Su? Could it be the old man before his father? And in the midst of hesitation, I heard the chaotic butterfly say outside: "Gege, there is a small sedan chair outside the store, and I want you to sit in a hurry?" What's going on? Did you arrange for someone to pick us up privately? ”

Seeing this, Gege said in his heart, let's go and see how it is? So he got up and said to Dark Incense, "Let's go and see." Hongcui hadn't finished her makeup yet, and when she saw that they were going out, she hurriedly said, "Where are you going?" I haven't braided my hair yet? At this time, she was wearing men's clothes, and it took a long time just to tinker with the braids on her head. It wasn't ready yet, so I had to put on a hat at random and trot over.

There was indeed a small sedan chair parked outside the door, and the two sedan chair drivers were neatly dressed, just waiting for Qing Gege to get on the sedan chair. Dark Xiang walked over and asked, "Who is Master Su of your family?" ”

The sedan chair man in front said: "Our family's Master Su is the biggest rich man in the local area. ”

Dark Xiang said: "I know this, let me ask you, what is the relationship with our son-in-law?" ”

The palanquin man replied, "I don't know about this. The little one only knows that the master ordered us to pick up Qing Gongzi here, if you can't pick it up, you have to beat the board when you go back. Don't ask, let's get on the sedan chair first and see our master. ”

Seeing that she couldn't ask anything, Dark Xiang turned to look at Gege, and Gege said, "Let's go and see." ”

Gege got on the sedan chair, and the sedan chair man walked all the way east for a cup of tea and stopped outside the village. At the door were two large lions. A male lion on the left and a female lion on the right. The mouth of the male lion is wide open, and the mouth of the female lion is closed. In response to the folk customs, the male lion opens his mouth to enter the wealth, and the female lion closes his mouth to accept the wealth, but it has the meaning of not coming in.

The sedan chair man said to Gege inside: "Little boy, please get off the sedan chair, there are still people in the house to follow." ”

Hongcui approached to help Gongzi come down, and entered the first door, and there was a delicate sedan chair inside. This sedan chair is different from the previous sedan chair, the sedan curtain is decorated with red and yellow tassels, the body is surrounded by red curtains, and the curtain is inlaid with the pattern of a hundred birds and a phoenix. At first glance, it looks like a sedan chair. Hongcui was surprised: "How do you see this as the sedan chair that the bride is sitting on?" Could it be that your master wants to marry my son-in-law and enter the door? ”

Dark Xiang hurriedly scolded: "What are you talking about? Let's ask first, and then say, the sedan chair is also casually sitting? Dark Xiang's mind was exactly the same as Hongcui's, but she was afraid that Gege would get into the sedan chair, so she had to ask like this.

Gege naturally understood the meaning of the dark incense, and was wondering, but saw a person flashing out of the sedan chair, and said with a smile: "It's been a long time, love brother." ”

They fixed their eyes, this person was not Luo Qingsong, who was it? Why did he come after him so much?

Luo Qingsong grinned and said: "Brother Ai, the rich man Su is my disciple, and he happened to marry today, so I invite my brother to come and have some fun." How about we have a happy drink and then go? ”

Gege wanted to say, what do you have to do with us if we don't go? But I thought that I had an appointment with Luo Qingsong before: I couldn't hide when I saw him, I couldn't ignore him, and I just had to talk to him if I had something on my mind. Gege was afraid that he would compete with that again at this time, so he had to say, "Why did Brother Luo come to Mengjin too?" ”

Luo Qingsong smiled: "Don't I want to follow my brother? I am so lonely without a brother in Beijing, and my life is like a year. ”

Hongcui said: "So you gave us the invitation?" ”

Luo Qingsong said: "It's not for you, it's for my brothers." ”

Hongcui snorted coldly, and said in her heart, your brother is your brother when you open and close, so why don't you put it in your pocket?

While he was talking, a fat-headed and big-eared man, about forty years old, dressed in a purple robe and wearing a big red silk around his waist, greeted everyone with joy: "Your guest is here, please sit in the room!" Early in the morning, magpies are chirping in the trees, and I still have what happy event to say? It turned out that it was really a distinguished guest. The head of the house arrived first, and now he is a handsome son. Su Lao'er, how can I invite so many distinguished guests to come, it is really an honor and honor! ”

Hongcui saw that the groom was old, and said, "Brother Su, how many relatives did you marry today?" ”

Gege glared at her hurriedly, and said in his heart that this girl's words were getting more and more out of character. How do you know that Su Lin didn't care at all, and said with a smile: "I'm not afraid of the girl's jokes, my main room died of illness last year, and the one I married today has to be corrected." Don't say it, it's cold outside, please sit in the house. ”

Luo Qingsong listened to the three sounds of firecrackers outside, and hurriedly said: "You go and do your own business, let's rest for a while, and then look for you if we have something." ”

Su Lin said: "Then snub the head and distinguished guests." He waved his hand and said to a general manager: "Wanquan, lead these distinguished guests to sit in the east wing, good tea and good food are served, dare to slack off, be careful of your skin!" ”

Na Wanquan hurriedly said: "The little one doesn't dare." After that, he bowed down and led the way, and said to them: "Masters, please go this way, be careful that there are steps on this side." ”

They walked through the front yard and through the halls. The sedan chair had been arranged in the hall, and Su Lin rode a tall horse to lead the way in front, followed by a team of musicians who were blowing and playing. Looking at the sedan chair again, it was the small embroidered sedan chair that he was going to sit on just now, could it be that Luo Qingsong deliberately played with Gege, or did he have another deep meaning?
