Chapter 163: Hold your grandson earlier
Su Li came out of the boudoir and covered her head, so she didn't see the big sedan chair carried by eight people.
The sedan chair bearers were personally selected by Chu Huai'an from the military camp, all of them were strong and strong, and they were almost tall, not to mention one Su pear, even ten Su pears sat in the sedan chair, and they could also carry them steadily, and they would not waver a bit.
Su Li sat upright in the sedan chair, although she had only slept for a short while, she was so nervous that she didn't feel sleepy.
It was still early in the morning, and it was quiet all around, except for the sound of the hooves of Lu Ji riding his horse.
The sound of the horse's hooves was not slow, and it fell on Su Li's ears and heart, letting her know that he was fulfilling his promise and protecting her all the way, so that Su Li felt a little more at ease.
It didn't take long for the sedan chair to stop at the gate of the Guogong Mansion, and Lu Ji opened the curtain and took the initiative to take Su Li's hand and lead her out.
It stands to reason that Su Li should have quietly entered through the back door, and then married out of the gate when it was dawn, but the sedan chair stopped at the gate.
The Guogong Mansion has long been arranged, the gilded door plaque and the two large stone lions at the door are bright red red silk, from the gate to the backyard, there are red lanterns hanging everywhere, which have been lit since last night and have not been extinguished.
"It's home!"
Lu Ji said softly, maybe because of Su Li's previous thanks, his attitude towards Su Li at this time was much more friendly.
Su Li followed his traction into the gate of the Guogong Mansion, the sedan chair entered the mansion from the side door, Lu Ji took Su Li around the front hall, and finally walked to a room in the middle courtyard.
There are no female dependents in the Guogong Mansion, this room is specially set out for Su Li to make a boudoir, the room is a large area of red, the window is pasted with double happiness window flowers, there is a delicate dresser, and the brocade quilt on the bed is also specially made new.
Originally, it was planned to live for Su Li for two or three days, which also fulfilled the regret of the old prince who had no daughter for so many years.
However, these Su pears can't be seen, and when they go out, Mama explained that once the hijab on the top of the head is covered, only the husband can take it off, otherwise it will be unlucky.
Su Li was helped to sit upright on the bed, her hands folded between her knees, her back was straight, and she could vaguely see two points of tension.
Lu Ji stood in front of her and didn't move, and the annoyance in her heart came up again.
He suddenly remembered that he hadn't given Gu Li a grand wedding yet, he saw two sets of wedding dresses in his room, and the next person said that they were prepared by him for his deceased wife, he was not impressed, but he was also very happy.
Although the wedding was late, he finally fulfilled his promise.
He tried to recall the time he spent with Ah Li, because he had lost his memories for several years, Ah Li's voice and appearance became clearer and clearer in his mind.
He seemed to be able to hear her softly calling her husband in her ear, but there was always another voice mixed in with that call, and that voice called him: General!
Ah Li would never call him such an unfamiliar word, but he couldn't think of anyone else who would call him that.
Lu Ji frowned slightly, and the accompanying grandmother walked in, and after a while, Lu Xiao also brought Lu Zhan over.
Lu Ji hurriedly collected his thoughts and retreated sideways, keeping a distance from Su Li, and Mama took out an apple from her sleeve pocket like a trick and handed it to Lu Zhan, coaxing: "Little young master give this apple to my aunt, I wish her a safe and secure marriage, and everything is worry-free, okay?" ”
Lu Zhan is now the age of drowsiness, but he has not dozed off since he was woken up by his subordinates today, his eyes were dark, he subconsciously glanced at Lu Ji, and saw that his father did not refuse, so he took the apple and walked to Su Li.
"Auntie?"
He asked tentatively, lowered his head slightly, and looked at Su Li from under the hijab, Su Li smiled at him: "Ah Zhan, it's early." ”
Sure it was Su Li, Lu Zhan also showed a smile on his face, he was now completely drawn, there was not much meat left on his face, and his facial features were more and more like Lu Li, but when he laughed, the two little tiger teeth were still clearly visible.
He straightened up and solemnly put the apple in Su Li's hand.
"Happy newlywed, auntie!" He said the auspicious words that his subordinates had taught before, and Mama immediately took out the small purse that had been prepared for him as a gift, and Lu Zhan took the purse and added: "Auntie is so beautiful today." ”
He has always been a picky person, and there are little girls in the school who know everything when they see him, and always want to play with him, so he coldly tells others that others are too ugly and don't want to play with others.
Yue Yan said to him several times because of this, but he refused to change it, and Su Li couldn't laugh or cry when she heard this from Yue Yan's mouth.
"I have long heard that Ah Zhan has a high vision, and today Ah Zhan praised me for my good looks, I think I am indeed good-looking, thank you Ah Zhan."
Su Li agreed that the atmosphere in the room was warm, and Mama said many auspicious words, and finally Lu Xiao kicked everyone out of the room and talked to Su Li alone.
The candlelight in the room was very bright, and Su Li's sight was only bright red and the tip of his shoes holding pearl agate, and after a while, Lu Xiao's hand fell on Su Li's shoulder.
He pressed it lightly and let out a sigh: "Girl......"
Just two simple words, inexplicably poked Su Li's tear ducts, making her eyes red instantly.
There was no one in the Su family, although Mama told her a lot of precautions, but only when she heard Lu Guo speak openly, she suddenly felt that she still had elders and family members on her head.
"I've suffered you all these years!"
Lu Xiao continued, when Lu Ji killed the grain envoy, how much Su Li did for Lu Ji after returning to Beijing, he saw it with his own eyes, and he also knew a little about how Su Li got along with Lu Ji in the five years at the border, otherwise he would not have intentionally asked for a red line for Su Li and Lu Ji at the beginning.
Lu Ji has lost his memory now, but he remembers everything for Lu Ji in his heart.
Tears came surgingly, afraid that crying would cost her makeup, Su Li picked up a handkerchief and carefully wiped the wetness from the corners of her eyes.
"Now I am also bitter, my father is the prince of the dynasty, my brother is the generalissimo of soldiers and horses, my husband is the marquis of Xiaoyao and the general of the hussars, and my sister is the lord of Renxian, there are so many backers for me to rely on, I am afraid that the entire Yuanzhao will no longer find someone with a more background than me."
Su Li deliberately relaxed her tone, explained Lu Xiao, and also explained herself in disguise.
She saw it clearly, and Lu Xiao's regret in her heart was much less, and she patted Su Li on the shoulder: "You're right, the Guogong Mansion is your maiden home, and I will treat you as my own, no matter what happens, the Guogong Mansion will be your strong backing!" ”
"My daughter knows, thank you Dad."
Su Li replied softly, this 'father' called Lu Xiao's heart, and he couldn't help but sigh: "Lu Ji, this bastard boy, he ......"
"My brother is affectionate and righteous, and he is already a model for everyone when he shoulders the heavy responsibilities of his family and country, and my father will say this about him again, so that others will hear it, I am afraid that he will feel too harsh."
Su Li interrupted Lu Xiao's words, lest he bring up the past things about her and Lu Ji.
Where could Lu Xiao not understand what Su Li meant, a thousand words were blocked in his throat, and finally only turned into a sigh: "I know, he is not easy to ......"
Gu Li's death pressed on his heart, burying all his tenderness, he was responsible for Su Li's intentions, and he was ultimately indebted in this life, it is difficult to have two laws in the world, and it is not easy for him.
Su Li didn't know how to comfort Lu Xiao, so she could only whisper: "Brother and Ah Zhan." ”
Fortunately, Gu Li also left him a Lu Zhan, so that he would not despair of the world.
Lu Xiao's eyes turned red, and he spoke for a while before he walked out of the room, went around the corner, and saw Lu Ji standing there straight.
It was still dark, the candle shadow was swaying, stretching his shadow very long, Ah Zhan was not by his side, he looked like a lonely poplar in the desert of the border pass, strong and straight, but lonely and lonely.
Lu Xiao suddenly thought of himself many years ago.
After his deceased wife left, he was alone, and no one else lived in his heart.
"What are you doing standing here?"
Lu Xiao asked, his throat was tight, he didn't expect that this son still took his own old path, he actually regretted it many times, he shouldn't have taken Lu Ji to the border pass to let Lu Ji grow up at the border pass, his life was dedicated to the battlefield, his son should be from the text, and it has nothing to do with the bloody rain.
"Daddy." Lu Ji called him, his voice was hoarse, and his eyes were also a little confused: "Have I ever been interested in someone other than Ah Li?" ”
Lu Ji asked very hard, he had no memory, his love with Gu Li was the same as yesterday, and the regret of losing Gu Li also gnawed at his heart day and night, but in such a violent emotion, there was another unspeakable emotion, which reached its peak at Su Li's wedding today.
Coming out of Su Li's room, Lu Xiao's eyes were still red, and when he heard Lu Ji's question, his eyes became more and more red.
He didn't know how to answer Lu Ji's question, because Lu Ji had already made a choice and chose to forget, Su Li also had a good home, for Lu Ji's good, he should hide the truth and let Lu Ji not think about it.
After being silent for a long time, Lu Xiao raised his hand and patted Lu Ji's shoulder: "I don't know what you're thinking, but since you choose to forget, you must have your own reason." ”
Lu Ji's pupils shrank, and his heart seemed to be tightly grasped by a big palm, and he couldn't breathe in pain.
He was too thoughtful, even if Su Li made everything reasonable and only changed a small part, he could keenly perceive the difference.
Anyone will lie to him, but his heart will not.
Did he really move his heart for someone other than Ah Li? Under what circumstances and for what reason did you move your heart? Is it a woman who is very similar to Ah Li?
He guessed, and then turned his gaze to the room where Su Li was.
Actually, it's not like it at all.
He retorted in his heart, a little wanted to go over to see Su Li again, there was a sound of hurried footsteps behind him, turning around, Chu Lingxi came with three handsome young men, Chu Lingxi was wearing a purple and red placket, he was deliberately dressed, the whole person's spirit was very good, his eyes were shining, and he had an undisguised smile on his face, and after approaching, he restrained a little.
"Where's A-Li?"
He asked aloud, his tone was quite excited, Lu Ji thought, it turned out that they also liked to call Su Li a li.
It's not his Ah Li, it's Ah Li.
Thinking of this, a thin tingling sensation spread from his heart, as if there was a strange force pulling away the last important thing in his heart.
Then he smiled and led Chu Lingxi to Su Li's room.
Chu Lingxi pushed the door in, Lu Ji stood at the door for a moment, then turned around and left without hesitation.
He was a little anxious to give Ah Li a stick of incense and tell her that he had a sister, and this sister was going to get married today.
The subordinates of the entire Guogong Mansion almost didn't sleep all night, and of course, there were many people who didn't sleep this night.
When it was almost dawn, Chu Huai'an personally inspected the guards and sentry posts hidden on the way to greet his relatives for the last time.
The Guogong Mansion is heavily guarded, he is not worried about what will go wrong, this time to welcome his relatives, he has to go around the city, there will be some accidents, he dispatched two thousand elites to hide in the city, these two thousand elites are only responsible for protecting Su Li, not counting the troops of Chu Lingzhao's royal drive out of the palace.
In addition, he also arranged 200 troops in the Hou Mansion, from receiving gifts from the concierge to serving tea and water to cooking in the back kitchen, all of them were trustworthy people to ensure that nothing went wrong.
After turning around, the sky has gradually turned white, Chu Huai'an returned to the Hou Mansion, Chu Liu couldn't sleep for a long time, and took a group of maids, holding a big red wedding robe and guarding his courtyard.
"Where did you go to get married today? Don't change your clothes yet! Let Ah Li wait too long, be careful that Lu Guogong and General Lu don't let you in! ”
Chu Liu said in a hurry, and the maids behind him wanted to help Chu Huai'an change his wide clothes into happy robes, but Chu Huai'an raised his hand to stop him: "No need, I can change it myself." ”
He always likes to keep his face tight, since the matter of Sizhu, almost all the maids in the house have been replaced, these maids don't know what his previous heart was, seeing that his face sank, he immediately retreated timidly.
Chu Huai'an took the wedding robe, smelled a little pollen on the wedding robe, and couldn't help frowning: "After I get married to my wife, just have Qibao to take care of my wife, and no one else is allowed to set foot in the main courtyard!" ”
This is to block other people's messy thoughts, Chu Liu used to think that Chu Huai'an was not good at spending time drinking, but now seeing that he is a one-man favorite, he also feels complicated for a while.
Chu Huai'an went into the house by himself to change his clothes, and Chu Liu sent the maid to retreat and went in to help him tidy up.
He seems to have secretly worn this robe thousands of times, the placket is neatly arranged, the belt is neatly tied, the body is long in red, the whole person is in the wind, indescribably handsome and handsome, and the original drunken gentleman is simply one heaven and one underground.
Chu Liu helped him hang a white jade pendant as a decoration, and helped him tie his hair with his own hands, put on a jade crown, and kept saying in his mouth: "Finally getting married, you have to treat Ah Li well in the future, and love her for a long time, Qin Se and Ming, don't live in a mess like before, it's not easy for you to get to where you are today, you have to cherish it!" ”
"Okay."
Chu Huai'an replied with a stiff face, his expression was very serious, a picture of 'a manly husband Lao Tzu is the most responsible', Chu Liu finally couldn't hold back his tears.
"Ah Li is not young, after getting married, you will have a child earlier, and if you have a wife and a child, you should act properly outside, and don't do some dangerous things again, it's not good to make her scared."
"Okay."
Chu Huai'an should still be very happy, Chu Liu has not spoken to him in such a friendly way for a long time, and tears are falling non-stop: "I know that you still complain about your mother in your heart, even if you and Ah Li become relatives, when your mother beat her and sold her into Goolan Courtyard, it will always be a hurdle in your heart, and my mother does not expect you to forget about this matter, and in the future, my mother will live in her own yard and not come out, you can live a good life with Ah Li." ”
Chu Liu's words were helpless and depressed, she had been looking forward to Chu Huai'an getting married all these years, and now that Chu Huai'an had finally married, her heart fell and she suddenly lost interest in other things.
Chu Huai'an frowned slightly, and his lips pursed so tightly that he didn't say anything.
He didn't expect Chu Liu to say this today, and he didn't know what to say in response for a while, if it was in the past, he would have said a few good words to make Chu Liu happy, but now it is different, he spit on a nail, and what he said is bound to be practiced.
He still can't let go of that incident, so naturally he can't promise Chu Liu anything about it.
Chu Liu's eyes darkened a little when he acquiesced, but he quickly stopped crying, not wanting to spoil the joy of today's wedding, so he beckoned someone to carry more than a dozen boxes of dowry gifts to the courtyard, and opened the lid of the box to let Chu Huai'an see if there was any omission.
The dowry was supposed to be given earlier, but the time was too tight, and although Su Li was married from the Guogong Mansion, she was also self-reliant.
Chu Huai'an didn't want to give the dowry to the Guogong Mansion, so he came here, just to let the whole of Kyoto see how much it cost him to marry Su Li.
These dowries will go around the city for a while, and they will return to the treasury of the Xiaoyao Hou Mansion, and then the treasury key will also be handed over to Su Li, and at that time, not only these dowry gifts, but all the things in the Xiaoyao Hou Mansion will belong to Su Li, including him.
Chu Huai'an glanced at it casually, and saw that the boxes were full, all of them were not vulgar things, his brows furrowed, and he was carried out to wait outside the door.
Chu Liu still had something to say, but Chu Huai'an couldn't sit still, and only waited for a moment before stepping to the gate and waiting, Chu Liu couldn't help but laugh and scolded.
Chu Huai'an didn't refute, his mind was full of thoughts about how time passed so slowly today, why wasn't it the auspicious time to welcome his relatives?
After waiting anxiously for nearly an hour, the little guy outside the door finally lit a firecracker.
The people in the city had long heard about today's wedding of the Marquis of Xiaoyao, and gathered around the door early, and as soon as the firecrackers went off, they saw a long red figure running out of it.
After the firecrackers were lit, smoke rose, and the red dress loomed, embroidered with gold and silver threads, and a large field of begonia flowers on the chest.
Few people embroider such a pattern on the men's wedding robe, for fear that the flowers will be too bright and will not be able to suppress it, and they are afraid that the meaning is not good enough.
However, when this dress was worn on Chu Huai'an, there was no sense of disobedience, as if he should be dressed in red and purple, not frivolous and exaggerated, but indescribably handsome.
Everyone was amazed by Chu Huai'an's handsomeness, Chu Huai'an raised his hand and whistled, and a red and brown horse galloped over, with a big red flower tied with red silk on the horse's head, and the horse's tail was braided with red silk, which looked very good when running.
The horse was not afraid of the sound of firecrackers, and ran straight towards Chu Huai'an, without waiting for the horse to stop completely, Chu Huai'an grabbed the reins of the horse and jumped, his slender legs and bright red clothes made a beautiful arc in the air, and the person had landed firmly on the horse.
It's so handsome!
The crowd let out a burst of exclamations, and Chu Huai'an took the reins of the horse slightly, waiting for the people behind to carry out the dowry.
More than a dozen large mahogany boxes were packed as dowry gifts, each box was carried by two strong men, and the thick burden was bent, which showed the weight of the weight, and everyone was amazed.
Who marries a daughter, but I have never seen so many dowries, this is more than the dowry of the crown princess at the beginning!
How many lifetimes has this Su County Lord been blessed to marry Xiaoyaohou?
Everyone was talking vigorously, Chu Huai'an straightened his back, did not squint, rode through the long street, and approached his Ali little by little.
He was familiar with the corners of the capital, but everything he saw today seemed to be completely different from what he remembered.
He is going to marry a wife, and after today, he is not a free marquis, he is not a hussar general, he is the husband of a woman named Su Li.
The more he thought about it, the more agitated his heart became, Chu Huai'an slightly pinched the horse's belly and sped up, all the way to the Zhenguo Mansion, and the porter was shocked: "Master Hou, you ...... Why did you come so soon? ”
Chu Huai'an turned over and dismounted, and without saying a word, he shook his eyes and asked the guards behind him to step forward and give a reward.
The reward is a large amount of silver nude, and the guard was ordered before, so he grabbed a handful and stuffed it to the porter.
Where has the porter seen this kind of operation, his eyes are about to pop out, and he stumbled and said auspicious words while holding the silver nude: "Thank you...... Thank you for the reward, I wish you a good relationship with the county lord for a hundred years, and give birth to a noble son early! ”
Chu Huai'an bowed, stepped into the door, and the people behind lined up the dowry at the entrance of the Guogong Mansion and waited, this posture was quite a bit of a strong buying and selling.
The porter held the silver nude with a confused expression: Huh? Hou Ye entered the door? That's it?!!!
Although Chu Huai'an waited until the auspicious time to welcome his relatives arrived, he rode fast, and the people who carried the dowry were all his own soldiers, all of whom had extraordinary foot strength, so it was still early when he arrived at the Guogong Mansion, Chu Huai'an went all the way into the house and smashed the people of the Guogong Mansion with a silver naked, and he bypassed the front hall very easily, and was about to enter the backyard, but was stopped by Lu Guogong, who rushed to hear the news.
"Master Hou, the auspicious time has not yet arrived, you are early."
"The auspicious time has come, not early."
Chu Huai'an replied calmly, and the guards behind him presented a delicate dagger, the dagger was scavenged from the Hulun Palace, and it was quite exquisite, both for playing and making weapons.
Lu Xiao glanced at him, and wanted to laugh a little, this stinky boy still knew what he liked, but thinking that it was about Su Li's life, Lu Xiao still tried his best to hold on, and said with a calm face: "Look at the time when the sun is still before noon, Hou Ye still said that it is not early?" ”
"I waited for the auspicious time to welcome my relatives before I set off from the Xiaoyao Mansion."
Chu Huai'an didn't enter, the others had already come here, even if they couldn't pick them up immediately, they still had to see Su Li's people, stay with Su Li and wait.
Lu Xiao wanted to smoke when he heard it, he heard that Chu Huai'an's temperament is much calmer now, and he still has something to look forward to, but when he saw it today, he found that it was just a little slippery head who learned to scare his face.
"Since Master Hou insisted, then ...... Let's get past me first. ”
Lu Xiao began to roll up his sleeves as he spoke, with the intention of fighting with Chu Huai'an, Chu Huai'an's expression did not move, and he said lightly: "I sincerely ask to marry Ah Li, I can accept my father's order for Ah Li to give me a little bit of power, just ask my father not to slap his face, Ah Li will feel distressed when he sees it for a while." ”
Chu Huai'an's natural 'dad' almost flashed Lu Xiao's waist, and he couldn't hold back his laughter for a while: "Stinky boy, you haven't married yet, don't call dad indiscriminately!" ”
As he spoke, his attitude was obviously loosened, and Chu Huaian took the opportunity to bypass Lu Xiao: "Dad, I've been looking forward to this day for a long time, and I ask my father to raise his noble hand, let me marry Ah Li earlier, and you can hold your grandson early in the future." ”
“……”
In front of your father-in-law, you are so improper, stinky boy, you are afraid that you will go to heaven!
