Chapter 249: A Late Wedding
Juanzi didn't have a clear attitude, and she was really anxious about Shuzhen. She picked up Orchid and Huzi, attacked in turn, and forced Xiangzi to say good things to Juanzi with her face, and after a few days of grinding, Juanzi finally nodded.
Early in the morning, Shuzhen shouted that she was going to Elm's Nest, saying that she wanted to get some wild vegetables that Juanzi loved to eat. Xiangzi was happy when he heard it, and pointed his finger at Shuluo and said: "Say you're stupid, you still don't accept it, you want to eat wild vegetables, let's go live together for a few days, it's not just a joke, and you need to run a trip." Besides, can the wild vegetables you get back fresh? ”
Shuzhen pursed her mouth and muttered, "You talk a lot!" Stay with my sister-in-law. So saying, he flew out of the city.
Two days later, Shuzhen did come back empty-handed. When he entered the door, he smiled awkwardly and said, "It's really not good, the wild vegetables are put in the basket, and they wilt before they get on the horse, and they are counted by the eldest brother in vain." ”
Xiangzi snorted coldly, and said with a smile: "Don't listen to the old man, hardship is in front of you." ”
Shuzhen pretended to be irritated and said: "Big brother said, tomorrow and the day after tomorrow is the baby's rest day, let's go over in the morning." If he didn't see anyone at noon, he would pick him up in person. ”
When Xiangzi heard this, he smiled warmly at Juanzi and said, "Big brother has this temper, you pick up and pick up, and leave together tomorrow morning." ”
When Shuzhen heard this, she smiled happily and said, "What are you picking up?" Look at the one who made you nasty, why don't you give your sister-in-law a new one inside and out? ”
Seeing Xiangzi looking at her and smirking, Shuzhen tugged on Juanzi's arm and said, "Go!" Sister-in-law, we went to the street to buy clothes. ”
Before going out, Shuzhen turned her head and deliberately shouted, "Make my sister-in-law's lunch a good one." With that, the two of them "muttered" and laughed and went out.
Shuzhen chose a purple embroidered cheongsam for Juanzi, which really looks good on Juanzi, but Juanzi is too glamorous but can't resist Shuzhen, so she has to wrap it up.
Decorated Juanzi from head to toe, and came to a wedding dress shop, Shuzhen said that the eldest brother's younger brother was going to get married, and the bride's figure was about the same as Juanzi, so she tried on a satin wedding dress, embroidered shoes, and chose an embroidered satin hijab.
When everything was ready, Shuzhen dragged Juanzi to the goldsmith shop again, and chose the right carved gold bracelet with exquisite workmanship, saying that it was bought for the bride's offspring.
The five horses chased each other and frolicked, and before they knew it, they had seen the outline of the village of Elm Nest. Xiangzi gestured and told Juanzi about the origin of Yushuwozi Village.
Bypassing a few old elm trees at the head of the village, I suddenly saw the lights at the entrance of the village, a festive scene of welcoming relatives and marrying daughters-in-law.
Xiangzi looked at Shuzhen suspiciously and muttered: "Whose family is marrying a daughter-in-law, the scene is not small." ”
Shuzhen pursed her lips and smiled, ignoring him, and only laughing with Juanzi with a side face. Shoko was stretching her neck in confusion and glancing at the crowd at the entrance of the village. Suddenly, someone shouted, "The bride and groom have arrived!" It's time to fire! ”
Before the words fell, both sides of the village entrance "crackled" non-stop. Green smoke suddenly filled the blue sky.
Immediately after, Zhao Xiaotian and Tie Dan were dressed neatly and greeted them happily. Xiangzi hurriedly rolled the saddle and dismounted, looked at Zhao Xiaotian suspiciously, and asked in a lost voice: "Big brother, what is this ......?"
Zhao Xiaotian looked up to the sky and smiled "haha", and said: "This is all your chief of staff's idea, and the eldest brother can't help you with anything else, so let me organize a wedding for you, which is twenty years late!" ”
Xiangzi's heart suddenly heated, he opened his arms and hugged Zhao Xiaotian's shoulders, but he didn't say a word.
Shuzhen is even more indistinguishable, and the spring flower sister-in-law and the chrysanthemum girl who have ushered in successively, the surprise and the Juanzi who are at the mercy of others, hug to the chrysanthemum house, take out the bridal outfit she bought yesterday, and without saying a word, she dressed up Juanzi neatly.
Chrysanthemum took the rouge lipstick that had been prepared, and took out the skills practiced in the opera troupe that year, and without much effort, a graceful and graceful bride with charming eyes appeared in front of everyone with a slight twist surrounded by all the daughters-in-law.
At this time, Xiangzi had already been dressed as a handsome groom official by the two brothers with the outfits prepared in advance. After a burst of cheers and admiration, Shao Youcai presided over a simple and lively wedding for the two newlyweds.
It can be seen that Zhao Xiaotian and Tie Dan have put a lot of effort into this wedding. Not only did the banquet gather the whole village, but also a stage was specially built in the courtyard.
During the day, the wedding was held, and at night, the opera troupe of Santai Town, and the song troupe of Shuanghe Village, sang together. The men, women and children of the whole village, all of them looked like they were celebrating the New Year, and their faces were full of laughter.
Just after lunch, Xiao Wang, a correspondent of the county party committee, rode a horse to deliver a message. said that it was Secretary Wang, and it was important to find Xiangzi.
Xiangzi was silent for a while, and Shuzhen, who was on the side, stood up from the edge of the kang with a tiger face, and said, "I'll go with you!" See what they can do to you. ”
Juanzi glanced at Shuzhen warmly, turned her head and said to Xiangzi with concern: "You can go with confidence, fate is born and fate is extinguished." ”
Xiangzi smiled indifferently and said, "Don't worry! Good news, perhaps. As he spoke, he beckoned Tie Dan to prepare his horse. Looking at Xiangzi's serene and calm appearance, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
When Xiangzi entered the door, Secretary Wang hurriedly caught up, took Xiangzi's hand, and said with a little excitement: "Oh, I haven't seen each other for a few months, and you have lost weight in the countryside."
Xiangzi smiled honestly and said, "Is your heart idle and fat?" ”
Secretary Wang asked Xiangzi to sit down, poured a glass of water in person, and said happily: "The province's opinions on your handling have come down, pay back your salary, and the official will be reinstated." ”
Seeing that Xiangzi was looking at himself calmly and without surprise, he glanced at him suspiciously, smiled and said, "What? Not happy? ”
Xiangzi smiled indifferently and said, "What conditions?" ”
Secretary Wang first froze for a moment, and then, with a slightly unnatural smile, said: "The conditions are very simple, recognize the verdict against Kong Qingwen, and draw a clear line with him from now on." The past is not to blame, and it is written off. ”
Xiangzi still looked at Secretary Wang calmly and gently, and said, "Then what if I don't obey?" ”
Secretary Wang sighed lightly, and said with a gloomy face: "If you don't obey, you will be immediately dismissed from public office, and it will never be useful." ”
Xiangzi let out a long breath and smiled indifferently: "Then fire me!" For me, maybe it's a relief. ”
Secretary Wang looked a little anxious and dissatisfied and shouted: "I said you, why are you so strong?" Do you know how much trouble I have to go through for you? Even Huang Lao has called the province several times. We're looking out for your political future, and you can't get emotional. ”
Xiangzi smiled casually and said, "I'm sorry Secretary Wang, for bothering you." But I can't sell my personality and conscience to make my future worse. If nothing else, I'll go. ”
As he spoke, he was about to turn around, but as if he suddenly remembered something, he turned around and pulled out the Browning pistol that never left his body and handed it to Secretary Wang. Han smiled and said: "This gun has been with me for more than ten years, and I won't need it in the future, so I'll leave it to you to think about it." ”
Secretary Wang played with the delicate pistol, sighed regretfully and helplessly, and said, "I understand your temper, and it is useless to say more." Remember! If you come to me for something, I won't give up on your business. ”
In the spring season of the coming year, Xiangzi and Juanzi bid farewell to their good brothers who get along day and night, and return to Dihua with the affectionate Shuzhen.
Before leaving, they deliberately went to the Thousand Buddha Cave to bid farewell to Monk Guanghui. Monk Guanghui put away the old-fashioned and unpredictable of the past, and became easy-going and talkative. He listened to Xiangzi's plan, stroked his long hair, and said with a smile: "This game of chess set by Senior Brother Guangzhi has finally come to an end. ”
After a pause, seeing Xiangzi looking at himself ignorantly, he raised his head and let out a long sigh, saying, "Your fate here has been completed, and you will definitely have something to do here." Soon, there will be an unprecedented catastrophe in Buddhism, and the old man will soon retire to the mountains and forests. ”
Shoko was deeply surprised and asked, "What calamity?" Can it be resolved? ”
Monk Guanghui smiled and waved his hand, and said calmly: "Ten thousand laws will go with fate, don't let delusions blind your sincerity." ”
As he spoke, he drifted away.
