Chapter Seventy-One: Overnight Success
There are still two days left before the emperor's birthday.
According to Situ Yu's meaning, the "Fenghua Garden" retains its current state, Lu Wu leads the rest of the maids to take care of the garden, and Mu Yu takes Ling Shuang to the "Rongguo Marquis Mansion" to be married.
It's just that except for Ling Shuang, the people in the garden don't know where they went and what they do, they only know that this garden has been temporarily taken over by the Chenwang Mansion, and those who are willing to stay only need to take care of the garden, and the salary is a lot of money.
With the emperor's two holy decrees, the name of "Lin Wanyan" resounded in the capital overnight, and the capital searched for relatives, enshrined the county lord, and married the king of Chen...... Its limelight even overshadowed Xi Ruoya, the first beauty in Changli.
Teahouse restaurant, after tea and dinner, people are all happy to talk about this person, some envy, some jealous, and some resentful. Of course, in addition to her bizarre life experience, what people talk about the most is her marriage to His Royal Highness King Chen, as well as her extremely ugly appearance.
Although the distance from "Fenghua Garden" to "Marquis Rongguo's Mansion" spans the east and west cities, the distance is not too long. Along the way, the carriage with the sign of "Rongguo Marquis Mansion" made the already lively street market even more noisy.
"Hey, look, it's Miss Lin from the Hou Mansion......"
"What's so nice about it, it is said that she has an ugly appearance, and she is covered with veils all day long......"
"I also heard that it was she who begged the emperor to marry His Royal Highness King Chen......"
"Alas! It's really pitiful, knowing that His Royal Highness King Chen has a beauty like Miss Xi in his heart, and he is so self-conscious......"
"I said, can you get the car to go faster!" Ling Shuang urged the coachman with some irritation.
"Miss, there are too many people on this street, and the speed can't be fast!" The coachman said in embarrassment, who knew that the streets that were still sparse and spacious would flood out in the blink of an eye.
"You ......"
Mu Yu stopped Ling Shuang's words from wanting to speak, "What are you doing in such a hurry, are you worried that if you go to the Hou Mansion late, you will lose your food?" ”
Ling Shuang looked at the calm pastoral rumor with an angry face, and said unwillingly: "Miss, everyone has said that you are like this, you are still in the mood to joke!" ”
"Say me? They are talking about Lin Wanyan! ”
"Aren't you Lin Wanyan now?" It's really that the emperor is not in a hurry to be a eunuch.
"I didn't expect you to be in the play better than me!" Under the veil, the corners of her beautiful lips hooked up a light smile.
"Alright! I'm fooling around! Ling Shuang sighed dejectedly, her young lady is like this, when she gets serious, she doesn't give an inch, and when she doesn't care, it's none of her business, it's lighter than boiled water.
The simple carriage drove slowly through the long streets towards the official residence of the East Side.
There were two theatergoers on a lively street corner who remained silent until the carriage disappeared from sight.
"Lin-Wan-Yan? What are you going to look up the origin?" The man in a dark blue brocade robe with a crown of hair on his head commanded the man behind him.
"A mere woman is worth His Highness's effort?"
The man in brocade looked sideways at the man wearing a light gauze hat beside him, and said unhappily: "This palace acts, and you don't need others to dictate you!" ”
"Situ Yu is really so powerful, the prince of a dignified country has been forced to the point where all the grass and trees are soldiers? Or is His Highness jealous of him? The man in the hat was not threatened in the slightest and teased.
"If you still want to cooperate with Hongu, keep your mouth shut!" Ben's somewhat handsome face is terrifying at the moment.
"You should know that you're not the only one who can work with me!" There was no rise or fall in the sound under the hat.
Situ Ji held back his anger and said hatefully: "Don't ask this palace to come out if there is nothing important in the future, especially in this kind of place where there are many people, if there is any accident, don't blame this palace for not being able to protect you!" After saying that, he left without looking back.
"Alas! With such a bearing, no wonder he has to be Situ Yu's opponent! The man in the hat looked at Situ Ji's departing back and sighed to himself.
"Master, they're gone!" In the private room of a restaurant next to the street, Xiao Jiu was reporting the whereabouts of Situ Yu and the others to Situ Yu, who was pouring himself a drink.
"Well, keep sending people to keep an eye on them! Assign some powerful hidden guards to guard the Rongguo Marquis's Mansion, and don't let her have any accidents! His slightly cold eyes looked at the place where the two men had just stood.
"Yes!" Xiao Jiu knew who this 'she' was referring to, and he also knew that the weight of this 'she' in the master's heart seemed to be getting heavier and heavier.
The night came as scheduled, and Mu Yu sat in the room belonging to the real Lin Wanyan, looking at Ling Shuang's busy figure in a daze.
This is the west courtyard of the Hou Mansion, a small and independent courtyard, and it is also the courtyard where the Marquis of Rongguo and his wife lived with Xiao Wanyan, across the arched door, the end of the long corridor is connected to the east courtyard where the old marquis lived.
A sound of light footsteps sounded, Mu Yu raised his eyes to look at the open door, the figure of the old butler appeared at the door, he hung his head slightly, and said to Mu Yu with a kind face: "Miss has not rested yet, it just so happens that the old slave has listed the things needed for the wedding, do you need to see if you need to add anything?" Then he handed over a list.
Mu Yu got up and welcomed him into the house, took the list and glanced at it, what do you need She is a girl who has never been married, where is it clear, the old marquis...... Alas! It's just a fake after all!
"Uncle Fu, don't be too extravagant and wasteful, as long as you don't violate the etiquette. There is also just hang some red silk at the door of the Hou Mansion, so there is no need to dress up in this courtyard, I think my father and mother have been quiet for all these years, and I am afraid that they are not used to being noisy like that. ”
Lao Fu was slightly stunned, raised his eyes to look at the woman with a masked face and a shallow smile, and then lowered his head, and his voice was not as flat as before, and even trembled a little: "Miss is so knowledgeable and knowledgeable, it is really the blessing of the Hou Mansion!" ”
"Uncle Fu is polite, as a descendant of the Hou Mansion, it should be like this! It's not too early, if there is nothing else, you can go down and rest first, this huge Hou Mansion depends on you, don't be tired! ”
"Thank you Miss for your concern, the old slave will retire!"
When Lao Fu's footsteps were far away, Ling Shuang finally couldn't help but open her mouth: "Miss, you are also married, how can you be so casual?" The bride's boudoir doesn't even hang a red silk, isn't it a joke for people to know! "I already knew that this marriage lady would be very wronged, but I didn't want to be wronged so much.
Ling Shuang muttered while taking Qing Shui to remove the mask on Mu Yu's face.
"Say no more! I'm not the real Lin Wanyan, they can let me marry from Miss Lin's boudoir It's already a concession, how can it be difficult to be strong! "I'm afraid that the old marquis is immersed in the pain of losing his granddaughter, and he must not want to see this courtyard covered with red colors.
"Alas!" Ling Shuang also understood in an instant, "Miss, you are always so considerate of other people's feelings everywhere, and you have wronged yourself everywhere. ”
"It also depends on who and what they do, no matter what their purpose is, I do occupy Lin Wanyan's identity and favor, and I always owe it to the Lin family."
As the two were talking, they heard a muffled sound in the courtyard, followed by a slight fight, and then a white light flashed, and a figure floated in.
