Yang Muyun came out of Lihu Village, it was already dark, and Peng Liang sent it to the entrance of the village, but still had no intention of returning.

"Brother Xian, there is something that Brother Fool wants to tell you," Peng Liang paused, his slightly dark face flushed slightly, "This month is the sixteenth day of my marriage, can you come that day?" He added: "I didn't say anything about it, you are the first." With that, he raised his head and looked at him with an expectant look.

"Congratulations to Brother Peng...... Yang Muyun had a hint of apology on his face: "It's a coincidence, this month is the eighteenth day of the younger brother's wedding, although it is two days later than Brother Peng, but there are many things in the family before the wedding, I am afraid I can't be invited by Brother Peng." ”

Peng Liang's face showed disappointment, but he still said: "Rejoice and rejoice, the foolish brother will definitely go to the virtuous brother's mansion another day." ”

Yang Muyun had walked far away, and when he looked back, Peng Liang still didn't look back. I didn't feel a warmth in my heart, because of Peng Liang's poor family background, coupled with his low speech, he didn't have many friends among his classmates, because he couldn't stand the contemptuous gaze in the eyes of others, and he was able to treat him normally, which was the greatest respect for his personality, so he was introduced as a confidant by him in his heart.

"The bird's ambition is clear, and compared to his mind, the pattern in my heart is inevitably narrow." Yang Muyun shook his head, and suddenly felt that something was very strange: "There are many big families who are in a hurry to marry their daughters this month, is it a coincidence, or is there another reason?" ”

Yang Muyun's figure disappeared into the night, and two dark shadows appeared in the place where he and Peng Liang broke up.

"Lord Zongqi is too cautious in doing things, grab that kid and ask, I'm not afraid that he won't recruit that person's whereabouts, can anyone else survive my Jinyiwei's eighteen punishments."

Another black shadow snorted coldly: "What if you kill him, he doesn't know? Seeing that his companion was silent, he continued: "This public case has plagued the imperial court for decades, if it were so easy, it would have been solved a long time ago, and it would have to wait until you and I are here to follow the pile?" Be patient in doing things, keep an eye on him and the people he has come into contact with, and don't act rashly, this is not only the order of the general banner, but also the order of the hundred households. The black shadow who was the first to speak bowed and said, "Yes, my subordinates must obey the military orders of Lord Xiaoqi." The other black shadow nodded with satisfaction: "Do your best to do things for the imperial court, the above will not treat you badly, remember to be cautious, the deputy commander has arrived in Yangzhou, and it is estimated that he will come to Jiangnan soon, and we need to cheer up and do things." The first black shadow exclaimed: "Lord Wang Shanwang? Didn't he come to Jiangnan to draft a girl for the emperor? Do you want to ask about other cases? The little flag officer snorted: "What the people above think in their hearts, it's not something that I and other small characters can speculate, in short, just do things seriously and don't make mistakes." The first black shadow hesitated: "Some wealthy businessmen in Huzhou have already known about Lord Wang's draft, and they are preparing to marry their daughters. The little flag officer was silent for a while, and then said, "You don't need to tell you about this, you already know about it." We just need to do what we are told, and we don't need to pay attention to other things. Okay, you go and keep an eye on that Peng Xiucai, remember, report anything unusual, and don't alarm him. ”

Yang Muyun's heart is much calmer, he reads aloud at his home every day, no longer thinks about boring things, and quietly waits for the day of welcoming his relatives.

On the 16th, Yang Muyun dressed up and sat at home, and Mrs. Li and his wife took the dowry money and "four gold and four silver", Li Yi and Hu Wenguang made the bet, and a group of people went to the woman's house to make the first plate. In the afternoon, Mrs. Zhou's elder brother, Feng Quan, who was also the chief steward of the Zhou Mansion, brought Miss Zhou's dowry to the Yang family and placed it in the hall. The Zhou family is the richest man in Huzhou, and naturally the dowry is rich, which makes the relatives and friends of the Yang family amazed.

On the 17th, the housekeeper's wife of the Zhou family took a group of maids from the Zhou Mansion to decorate the new house, the new house hung a red tent, spread the big red double happiness sheets, and then spread the dragon and phoenix futon on it, and sprinkled all kinds of happy fruits on the futon, including peanuts, red dates, tellers, lotus seeds, etc.

The eighteenth finally arrived, Yang Muyun finally felt a little nervous, early in the morning, he put on the green groom official uniform, wearing a black gauze hat, wearing a big red flower on his chest, worshiped his parents, ancestral tablets, rode a jujube red horse, so that people carried a big red sedan chair decorated with hydrangea around it, in the atmosphere of gongs and drums, firecrackers, surrounded by aunts and uncles, sisters and brothers-in-law, and a group of school classmates, they went to Zhou's house to welcome their relatives.

At noon, a group of welcoming relatives finally arrived at the Zhou family's mansion in Ailianzhuang, Nanxun Town. The Zhou family's mansion was also lit up with lights and firecrackers, and the Zhou family's chief steward Feng, his wife, and a group of maids and servants were already waiting for them at the gate of the mansion. As soon as the welcoming procession arrived, Chief Steward Feng asked Mrs. Feng to lead her subordinates to entertain them, and led Yang Muyun to see the lord and Mrs.

The Zhou Mansion is indeed very large, walking through a long section of galleries around the lake, passing through several rockery gardens, pavilions and pavilions, and stopping in front of a towering three-story main building, Chief Steward Feng said in a low voice: "Uncle, please wait a moment." Yang Muyun followed him up the stairs to the second floor, and then followed a corridor to the end of a main hall with a foyer to stand up, and the chief steward Feng shouted loudly: "Uncle has arrived!" He lifted the curtain and stretched out his hand: "Uncle, please come in." ”

Yang Muyun walked in and saw that the hall was very atmospheric. Turning a rosewood screen, there was a couple sitting on the official hat chair in the middle of the hall, and on the left was a middle-aged man in his early forties, with a clear and elegant appearance, he was wearing a flat square scarf, three locks of long beard under his chin, and a refreshing red household swallow suit, like a scribe, not at all like a businessman. This must be Zhou Bo'an Zhou's big official, and an unusually beautiful lady on the right is Mrs. Zhou, she looks much younger, making people feel that she is about twenty-seven or eighteen years old, wearing a red embroidered gold tuanhua wide-sleeved skirt, which is even more graceful and luxurious. Yang Muyun immediately bowed to the ground: "The son-in-law meets the father-in-law and mother-in-law." Mrs. Zhou stepped forward with a smile and helped him up: "Child, don't be formal, sit down quickly." ”

Yang Muyun sat under the two of them, respectful. Mrs. Zhou smiled and said to Zhou Bo'an: "Master, this child Mu Yun was born quite delicately, and he and Meng Nan are really a natural pair. Zhou Boan twisted his beard and smiled: "It's even more rare to have a talent and fame at such a young age!" In the imperial examination since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, only two people have achieved the three yuan in the lianzhong, the first is Huang Guan of the Hongwu Dynasty, and the other is the Shang of the Dynasty, but the two of them are not as brilliant as you when they were fifteen years old. Yang Muyun hurriedly said: "My father-in-law has won the award, and my son-in-law doesn't dare to be it." Zhou Boan smiled and said: "I hope you will make persistent efforts this autumn and win the championship again in one fell swoop." Yang Muyun responded: "Thanks to my father-in-law's auspicious words, my son-in-law dares not to work hard." ”

While the three of them were talking, a maid came in and said, "Master, madam, Miss has already dressed up." Zhou Boan hummed and said, "I know, you can step down." He smiled at Yang Muyun: "Virtuous son-in-law, my daughter has stopped dressing up, let's go together." With that, he got up and walked out, Mrs. Zhou followed him half a step away, and when they were about to cross the screen, Yang Muyun got up and followed.

The trio walked along a gravel path through a rockery and two courtyards, and heard a commotion coming from inside in front of a moon gate. There is a courtyard in the moon gate, and a two-story small building in the courtyard is the boudoir of Miss Zhou's family, and many people have been blocked at the entrance of the small building. The people who were blocked outside were naturally a group of people who followed Yang Muyun to greet their relatives, and a group of maids inside stopped in front of them. At present, a maid is wearing a red bikini, about fourteen or fifteen years old, and is very beautiful and abnormal, and it seems that she is the head of all the maids. I saw her willow eyebrows curled, her apricot eyes widened, and a very white and delicate jade finger pointed at the people in front of her, and said coquettishly: "Do you understand the rules?" Just picked up our young lady, and there was no door. Mrs. Li said with a smile: "Miss Suyue, please be accommodating, you can't rush back to worship any later." Saying that, she stuffed a red envelope into his hand, Su Yue turned the red envelope upside down, and sneered: "No, call the groom official to come over and talk about it!" Someone in the crowd shouted: "If you don't get out of the way, we'll rush in." Su Yue put her hands on her waist and shouted coquettishly: "Whoever dares to rush, don't think about taking people away today." When Zhou Bo'an and his wife saw it, they smiled slightly, glanced at their son-in-law behind them, and then stopped taking a step forward. Yang Muyun saw that his father-in-law and mother-in-law didn't plan to come forward, so he had to cough, slowly separated everyone and stepped forward, stood in front of Su Yue, and arched: "I don't know what the girl wants to do to allow us to pass?" Su Yue looked him up and down with a pair of beautiful eyes, and sneered: "You are the groom official?" It's not difficult to meet our young lady. You have to pass my two levels. Yang Muyun asked, "Which two levels?" Su Yue glanced at him and said, "Aren't you a showman?" I'll make an uplink, and you will have a downlink, and you will pass the first level. Yang Muyun said respectfully: "Please ask the girl to make the question." ”

Su Yue said loudly: "In a small building, there are two or three women, and there are four or five big men in front of them, so that the six gods have no owner, let you gossip, and block you from nine steps away, very helpless." It contains one to ten numbers, alluding to the people in front of him, Yang Muyun thought for a while, and then said: "Ten years of cold windows, entered eight or nine academies, abandoned seven emotions and six desires, studied the Five Classics and four books hard, and took the exam three times and twice. ”

"Good!" Everyone applauded, and the crowd was about to surge again, Su Yue stretched out her arms and said coquettishly: "What's the hurry, there is still a pass?" Then he looked at Yang Muyun with a smile: "Xiucai is good at writing, this girl wants to ask you, will you be good to our young lady when she marries you?" Yang Muyun was stunned for a moment, and said slowly: "Of course." Su Yue stared at him: "There is no basis for what you say, how can you prove it?" ”

"This?" Yang Muyun opened his mouth for a while.

Su Yue smiled strangely, pointed to the stairs, and said, "As long as you go up, lie down in front of our young lady, let her ride on top of you, and then you can use your hands and feet to carry her down, and this girl will let you pick up the young lady." ”

"What?" There was an exclamation from the crowd, this was too much, wasn't it humiliating in front of the big hall? Zhou Bo'an's face couldn't help but change color slightly, and he also felt in his heart that Su Yue, a girl, had also done it, how could her son-in-law get off this stage? was about to step forward, but was pulled by Mrs. Zhou.

Mrs. Li laughed and said, "Miss Suyue, you are making a big joke, the man has gold under his knees, how can you let your aunt do such a thing in public?" Su Yue did not obey and said: "He has gold under his knees, and our young lady will pay back the whole thousand gold!" Say, stared at Yang Muyun, with a provocative look in his eyes: "How is it?" Xiucaigong, is it a promise? Or do you want to go home? Yang Muyun's heart was full of 10,000 grass and mud horses, but his face didn't understand: "As the girl said, your young lady is a daughter?" Su Yue said proudly: "Of course, Xiucai Gong, kneel down to welcome the daughter with the gold under your knees, and don't suffer a loss." ”

"So," Yang Muyun paused, "how can it be enough to just carry the young lady down?" In my opinion, please ask the girl to invite the young lady down, and this son will first carry the young lady up from here, and then carry it down to prove my son's intentions. ”

There was a louder exclamation from the crowd, and everyone's eyes were focused on Yang Muyun, which was mixed with various meanings, including pity, banter, and incomprehension..... Su Yue also widened her beautiful pretty eyes: "This talented man, is he stupid?" Mrs. Li hurriedly said, "Yun'er, are you confused?" Su Yue immediately said: "Xiucai Gong, is this true?" Yang Muyun glanced at him lightly: "A gentleman's word, the horse is difficult to chase." ”

"Good!" Su Yue chased: "Don't regret it." ”

Yang Muyun simply closed his eyes. Ignore her no more.

Su Yue walked upstairs quickly, and after a while, she only heard a sound of broken footsteps, Miss Zhou was wearing a phoenix crown and a xia shawl, wearing a real red round-necked and large-sleeved female python suit, dragging a big red pleated skirt and slowly walking downstairs with Su Yue's support, because her head was covered with a red silk scarf, and she couldn't see her appearance. However, looking at his slender figure and exquisite curves around his movements, he must be a beauty.

Su Yue helped the young lady to Yang Muyun, raised her eyebrows, and said, "Xiucaigong, let's start!" ”

Yang Muyun opened his eyes and smiled: "Miss Xie Suyue sent Miss down." As he spoke, he pulled the young lady and pushed him into Mrs. Li's arms, and said repeatedly: "Auntie, quickly pick up the bride." Mrs. Li came back to her senses, and also grinned, and beckoned the crowd of people who greeted her to go out of the courtyard with her huddled with her. A group of people came and went as fast as they could, leaving only a group of maids led by Su Yue standing in place dumbfounded.

"You, you are shameless, you are not trustworthy." Su Yue pointed at Yang Muyun, and the tip of her nose was so angry that she couldn't speak.

"What this son said will always count." Yang Muyun laughed evilly: "Whenever my son is happy, he will definitely cash it out one day." ”

"You ......" Su Yue didn't care about scolding him, stomped her feet, and floated out of the courtyard like a flower.

Zhou Bo'an laughed out loud when he saw it: "My son-in-law is really a talent, and he has no temper at all to make the most rude maid in our house, so taking the bride away is really eye-opening." Mrs. Zhou snorted: "What kind of talent, I think it's a crooked talent, which is the bride, it's obviously a trick to kidnap my daughter." ”
