Chapter Ninety-Seven: Auspicious Times
In the inner room of the Ding Family Medical Hall, the big guys gathered together and talked for a while.
It turned out that Mr. Zhang and Dr. Ding were close friends, and the children of the two families had been married since childhood. Although the Ding family is now living a much prosperous life in Xin'an City, compared with the Zhang family, who live in the countryside, is inevitably a little down, but no one in the Ding family has that snobbery. Today, July 11, is a good day to set, Zhang Laozhang personally went into the city with his only son, and led a welcoming team to pick up the eldest daughter of Dr. Ding's family.
As for the two children of the Zong family and the children of the Ding family, when Dr. Ding took Ding Xiaozi to visit Mr. Zhang a few months ago, he met Zong Xiaoniang unexpectedly. The little girl has clear eyebrows, and Ding Boy fell in love at first sight.
When he said that he was going to get up, he learned that the Zong family was a clean and good family, but he was just an orphan and a widow, and the courtyard was inevitably broken. Dr. Ding is an open-minded person, and he jokes that as long as his son likes it, it is okay. Mr. Zhang volunteered and went to be a matchmaker. Aunt Zong heard that the man was from the famous Dr. Ding family in Xin'an City, and she was already happy, so how could she not allow it? That is, Zong Xiaoniang herself, who met the Ding family boy that day, was obviously a polite scholar, not to mention the secret promise, but always happy.
Lang has a concubine who is intentional, and it is said that he hit it off. When the atmosphere was open, the two children met a few times later, and they already felt that "you belong to each other". This time, Zong Xiaoniang volunteered to come to pick up her relatives, and she may not have taken the opportunity to see Ding Xiaozi's thoughts, Ding Xiaozi needless to say, seeing Xiaoniang, her heart was about to fly.
The world is so coincidental, it is a day of great joy, and suddenly there is another joy--- Pei Guo agrees, Zong Xiaoniang, a secret that has been hidden in her heart for a long time, has to be told to others today. Before the words fell, Ding Xiaozi was the first to bow down: "The benefactor is above, and I will worship you!" Zong Xiaoniang was busy bowing to the side, and when she and Ding Xiaozi secretly looked at each other, they were all shy.
Pei Guo hurriedly stepped forward and picked up two people. Yu Wenying on the side grinned and said: "Tsk, I can't see it, you are still a hero who hoes the strong and helps the weak." There was a bit of banter in her tone, but when she looked at Pei Guo with a pair of bright eyes, it was clear and soft and light.
"Hee-hee, my true colors are too!" Pei Guo was in a good mood, and couldn't help laughing: "In this case, I have to go to the house with my father-in-law and disturb a few glasses of happy wine to eat." ”
"I can't ask for it." Uncle Zhang laughed.
Soon Dr. Ding came in and learned that Pei Guo was Zong Xiaoniang's life-saving benefactor, and he was also very grateful: "Since he is Xiaoniang's benefactor, that is my Ding family's benefactor!" At the moment, he used all his strength, carefully cleaned Yu Wenying's wound, and then bandaged it with medicine. Pei Guo relied on his strong physique, and he didn't plan to treat his injuries, but he taught Yu Wenying to tell the truth, and Dr. Ding had to treat him for a while.
During this period, everyone talked and laughed, looking forward to the days to come, and the room was full of joy.
。。。。。。
"It's auspicious!" In the shouting of Binyi, there was a sudden noise of gongs and drums outside, and the sound of firecrackers was deafening.
Doctor Ding laughed, pointed at Ding Xiaozi and said, "The auspicious time has come, you and Zong Xiaoniang go back together and take your sister out." Turning his head, he and Uncle Zhang said goodbye to each other, and the two old faces were full of flowers for a while.
Since the bride is about to leave the cabinet, Mr. Zhang will take the new officials out to greet him, and Pei Guo will accompany him. Yu Wenying is still resting inside due to the inconvenience of her legs and feet.
I didn't want to get to the door, the sky suddenly changed outside--- the gongs and drums were all stopped, the street was a mess, and people were seen everywhere turning over their horses, and then the sound of firecrackers was also over, and there was only the sound of crying and shouting in the streets.
What kind of eyesight does Pei Guo have? At a glance, it was already a change of color--- it turned out that at the end of the long street, there were two teams of armor soldiers coming in formation, looking at their armor, it was actually the forbidden army in Beijing! In the meantime, there are also a few swordsmen in strong suits, no need to guess, I also know that it is Hu Sichun's people who have arrived!
But Pei Guo and Yu Wenying fled without a trace, the sea of people is vast, Hu Sichun only relied on two hundred swordsmen, I am afraid that there are not enough people, in a hurry, I ran to see Yuan Tianmu, and lied that I found the whereabouts of Wei Ran and his daughters, please transfer the forbidden army to arrest them.
Wei Ran can also be regarded as a thorn in Er Zhurong's side, Yuan Tianmu readily agreed, and with a stroke of his pen, he signed the order. Hu Sichun had to send 500 forbidden troops out of Beijing, divided into 25 teams, each team sent henchmen and swordsmen to go with them, holding portraits of Pei Guo and Yu Wenying, and chased them around. This cadre is also very competent, tracking and inquiring all the way, and actually found out that Pei Guo and Yu Wenying arrived at the boundary of Xin'an County, and all the staff gathered at the moment to search for it.
Xin'an County is naturally the top priority, at this moment the city has gathered no less than fifteen teams of forbidden troops, and Xin'an County soldiers, catch quickly, the whole city is a big rope. In addition, three of the four gates were closed, but the south gate was open, and there were heavy guards, and the guards all had portraits in hand, and if anyone entered or left, they had to check them one by one before they could be released.
Dr. Ding also arrived at the door at this time, and happened to bump into the fang who was running over, looking anxious, and immediately grabbed Li Zheng and asked him what happened.
Li Zheng saw that it was the respected Dr. Ding in person, and it was difficult to refuse, so he sighed and said: "It is said that two key criminals, a man and a woman, are arrested." Hey, I don't know what important thing those two people committed to provoke these many soldiers and horses to Sin'an City, and said that they would go from house to house and search the whole city. Doctor Ding, look at it, what is the mess all about? These ruffians are simply doing evil. ”
After Li Zheng finished speaking, he sang a song and hurriedly ran away. Every household along the street is busy closing doors and windows, and the Ding family is no exception. When the door closed, a whole welcoming procession poured in, and the small main hall was already packed.
Door-to-door, city-searching? Pei Guo's heart was anxious, his face became more and more gloomy--- on weekdays, such a big city, he could always find a way to escape, but at this time, Yu Wenying was inconvenient, and he was injured several times, so he was unbearable to fight, if the forbidden army found it, how could he get out?
When he looked up, he saw Dr. Ding and Uncle Zhang looking at his face together, Pei Guo was shocked: "I... ”
"Go in and talk!" Although the two old men are not official eunuchs who are used to seeing the world, they are old and sophisticated, and when they saw Pei Guo's expression, they heard that they were talking about "one man and one woman", and they had already guessed seven or eight points. At the moment, one left and one right, I couldn't help but say, and pulled Pei Guo in.
