Early the next morning, outside the city gate of Qixian County, the villagers who were waiting to enter the city found a large team of people welcoming their relatives. There are more than 100 people in the procession, dozens of drummers and honor guards in front, dozens of people carrying the bride price in the back, and a large sedan chair carried by eight people in the middle.

The people were all curious, not knowing whose family was getting married, and they came out early in the morning. Some people read and read and looked at the two big flags at the front, which read "The county lord marries" and "The subjects avoid".

"Oops!" Someone was surprised and said, "This is the county lord's marriage!" ”

"Can't you? I hadn't heard of the guest before. Someone whispered again.

"That is, Kaifeng is still surrounded now, how can it be possible to send the county lord out? Eighty percent of them are fake. ”

……

The people were talking.

Those who sent their relatives were quite easy-going, and they also accosted to explain: "We are really from the Zhou Palace, this time it is our county lord who is married, and there is no half-truth." ”

"I didn't hear that the thieves had retreated." Someone among the people asked.

The people from the Zhou Wangfu replied: "This family has already been decided, and the county lord is in the city." ”

"Who did the guest of honor choose?" The people asked with a smile again. Most of the guests in the palace are businessmen who climb the dragon and attach the phoenix, and there are few good behaviors. Even the emperor's daughter can marry a dying sick man and a bald half-old man, and they are all waiting to hear the joke.

The people of the Zhou Wangfu replied loudly: "The guest of honor in the palace is the newly promoted deputy general of Guide, General Li. ”

There was a loud bang, and the crowd around them laughed.

"General Li is already a deputy general, how can he be the guest of honor of the palace?"

"That is, General Li is going to be a general, a prince, or even a king with a different surname in the future, how can he be the guest of honor of the Zhou Mansion?"

……

The people's expectations for Li Yan are very high, and they are all talking nonsense.

The people of Zhou Wangfu said with a smile: "You don't count what you said about this." General Li has a very high affection for our county lord, and he has long been looking forward to marrying our county lord back. The county lord had already entered the city, so that it would be easier for him to marry. ”

At this time, the people could no longer say anything loudly, and could only whisper to each other. They all think that this county is either beautiful as an immortal, or they are extraordinary, otherwise how can they attract the admiration of General Li?

After a while, the city gate opened, and the people consciously moved out of the way, allowing the send-off team from the Zhou Wangfu to enter the city.

Although the soldiers at the head of the city also heard the answers of some of the relatives and the people, they still carefully checked the family delivery team and found no problems before letting them go. At the same time, they also sent someone to report to Li Zhong, after all, this was a matter involving their commander. And in private, they didn't think there was anything wrong with this, and being able to get in touch with the royal family was already the highest honor for them as commoners.

As soon as the procession entered the county seat, it began to blow. But they didn't go directly to Li Yan's mansion, but walked slowly around the cross street, so that the people of the entire county could see their royal team. And those people who entered the city served as free propagandists, and in less than half an hour, everyone in the county knew that the county master of Zhou Wangfu was married to Li Yan.

However, the Wang steward of the Wangfu Grange, his wife and maids took a carriage and went straight to Li Yan's mansion first. They didn't go to Li Yan's house, but called open the door of the small courtyard where Wu Niang and they lived next to him.

"You~" It was Wu Niang who opened the door, and he was about to ask what was the matter, but when he saw that it was Wang Guanshi, he stopped asking in surprise.

"County Lord," Steward Wang bowed respectfully: "The villain congratulates the county lord for coming." ”

Wu Niang said suspiciously: "Did Steward Wang go to the wrong door?" If Steward Wang is fine, Wu Niang has other things to do. ”

Steward Wang hurriedly said: "That's right, the villain is here to congratulate the county lord." The title of the county lord is Anping, which was invited by the prince to the county lord after the year. Today is a day of great joy, and the villain was ordered by the prince to marry the county lord. ”

"What? Giving a bridal? Wu Niang became more and more confused.

Steward Wang arched his hand and said, "County Lord, let's go into the house and talk." As soon as he signaled after finishing speaking, his wife's room took the maid and others into the small courtyard with large bags of things.

These people went directly to the main house, but it was Qiu Niang's room. As soon as Qiu Niang saw these people coming in, she immediately scolded loudly: "Who are you?!" Who let you in?! ”

The maids didn't care, they just put the packages on the bed and chairs, and then opened them one by one. There are gold phoenix crowns, red wedding dresses, xia curtains, and several boxes of head and face jewelry, and there are a lot of pearls and jade treasures in them, and there are really a lot of tortoiseshell corals.

"So many goodies?" Qiu Niang looked at it in surprise, and forgot to continue to expel these intruders.

Wu Niang and Steward Wang also followed into the main house, and Wu Niang said apologetically: "They don't know that this is your room, so I'll let them leave." ”

"County Lord, these are all things that the prince asked the villain to prepare. Kaifeng was besieged by thieves, and nothing could get out. The villain can only be simple because of ugliness, please don't dislike the rudeness. Steward Wang bowed down to accompany him, and said: "When Kaifeng is lifted, I will send you the things prepared by the palace, as well as the house deed, land deed, shop and other things." ”

"County Lord?" Qiu Niang looked at Wu Niang and asked in surprise.

As soon as Wu Niang saw the wedding dress, she finally reacted, this is to let her marry again. And this time she prepared everything directly, so that she didn't even have a chance to escape.

"They recognized the wrong person!" Wu Niang said coldly: "You all go out!" Who to look for, who to go! ”

Steward Wang knelt down after a pout, and begged: "County Lord, the villain knows that you have grievances in your heart, but no matter how much you complain, the prince is also your biological father!" The prince has already regretted it and wants to compensate you as much as possible, so he gave you the title he requested. Now Kaifeng City is in danger, and the thieves may enter the city at any time, and the prince and the palace are all up and down the county lord. ”

Wu Niang sneered: "Do they want me to be a weak woman to break the siege of Feng?" It's ridiculous! ”

Steward Wang hurriedly explained: "No. County Lord, as long as you marry Li Yan, Li Yan and our palace are family, and he will send troops to rescue Kaifeng. The prince and Governor Gao sent countless letters to Li Yan asking for help, but Li Yan never moved. The thieves are fierce and have already reached the top of the city several times. And they also bombed the city, as long as there is a slight negligence, Kaifeng will fall immediately! Once the city is broken, no one in the palace will be spared! ”

Although Wu Niang didn't hate Li Yan, she was very angry in her heart to let her succumb to the oppression of the palace, or use her to exchange benefits for the palace. Last time, I wanted to marry him to a villain for some bride price, but this time I asked him to marry Li Yan for the sake of the lives of the whole palace, in the eyes of the palace, she was just an item.

"If you want to marry, you can marry, anyway, I won't marry!" Wu Niang said firmly.
