14. When the sword is a wine (B)
When all the officials heard the words "Shence Mansion", they all stopped talking and looked in the direction of the voice. But I saw a large sedan chair with gold carving and jade coats at the head of the street slowly walking towards the Shoufu Mansion. The sedan chair is not wooden, but with granite as the base, Lantian jade as the railing bearing, with rosewood as the door, with silk weaving as the curtain, with the gold baht treasure as the inlay of sixteen sedan chairs, this sedan chair looks at the material is really heavy and abnormal, although it is sixteen people with the same lift, but it should also be laborious abnormal. At this time, I looked at the sedan chair bearers, and saw that although they had different appearances, they were neatly shaped. They walked calmly, without the slightest effort, the sedan chair carried and walked, but as steady as Mount Tai, without the slightest shaking, this one by one seems to be a master who has been practicing hard for many years. Xiang You'er watched those porters marching, and she was stunned unconsciously.
At this time, the man beside Xiang You'er suddenly said to himself: "Hehe, abandon the head of the blade Zuo Heng...... Nie Tong, the five masters of the rotten Kedao...... Wu Han, the owner of Feixiong Village...... They are all well-known men and grandmasters of various sects, but they are people's cars, alas! Xiang You'er thought he was already asleep, but he suddenly spoke, but he couldn't understand what he was referring to. But after seeing that the man sighed, he reached out and touched the wine jar beside him, picked it up and was about to drink, but remembered that the wine jar was empty, so he shook his head, and put his hand in his sleeve again, and was silent.
While speaking, the sedan chair had stopped at the door of the house, and I saw the sixteen people put down the sedan chair steadily, the sedan pole leaned forward, the sedan curtain was lifted, and two beautiful boys jumped down. The boy was like a fairy boy jumping out of the painting, holding a cute and delicate hand, I saw these two boys holding a gold leaf prayer post, so they bowed to Liu Shiqi and said: "Shoufu Grandpa, His Royal Highness King Qin of the Shence Mansion came down to congratulate." Liu Shiqi saw that the boy was cute, touched the boy's head, and reached out to take it, but saw that it was purple gold pressing, and the famous thorns were inlaid with fine diamonds, and the end was extremely luxurious.
At this time, the two boys jumped back to the front of the sedan chair, respectfully opened the silk sedan curtain with jade Ruyi, but saw a white-clothed and heroic son slowly walking out of the sedan chair, only to see the boy holding a folding fan, and bowed to Liu Shiqi from afar, and said: "The son is very happy, Xiao Er came to congratulate Lord Shoufu." ”
Liu Shiqi also replied with a salute in front of the steps: "Now that the country is troubled, it is really a sin to organize this ceremony and work His Royal Highness the King of Qin." Although his words were polite, the expression on his face was as unmoving and grim as ever.
Here, Liu Jinxu noticed that the atmosphere was awkward, so he interrupted: "Second master, please come inside." "Speaking of leading Qin Wang Xiao? And he went to the house. Liu Shiqi stopped speaking at this time, and let the eldest prince lead King Qin towards the mansion.
At this time, I heard the sound of suona drums on the street corner, and the sound of firecrackers and firecrackers, but it turned out to be the protagonist of today, the bride came, but I saw that the sedan chair was quite cleverly decorated, obviously a big family lady, although there was no King Qin's talent, but it was also grand.
At this time, Qin Wangfang walked to the door of the house, but heard that the sedan chair was coming, so he stood at the door, and smiled heartily at Liu Shiqi: "Yo, it's better to come early than to come by chance, Princess Ancheng's seniority should also be in the lower house, and there are also friends on weekdays, Xiao Wang can also be regarded as his mother's family, so let's take a look at the door here." As he spoke, he waved his hand to let his sedan chair bearer make way for the welcoming team, and he stood next to Liu Shiqi, smiling and watching the welcoming team.
In this compartment, Xiang Youer was also excited when she saw the sedan chair coming. At that time, it was customary to say that although the bride could not see guests before the wedding chapel, when greeting relatives, the groom and the groom were separated from each other to pay respects to the elders, relatives and friends of the husband's family and visiting guests, which was also a ritual to show filial piety, which was called the "door" etiquette. This is the opposite of the gift of "resignation", when the daughter gets married, she must bow to the door far away from her mother's house, which means to marry away from home, which is for "resignation". After the people of the mother's family were worshipped, they could only see their daughter again when their daughter returned home three days after they got married, so only the husband's family was in the high hall at the time of the wedding, so An Guogong did not come. This King Qin called himself "Niang's family" at this time, which was somewhat out of line, Liu Shiqi made a slight face, turned his head and glanced at King Qin, with a complicated look in his eyes.
After the "worship door", he entered the house through the side door, preparing for a series of matters in the marriage worship hall. Xiang Youer has been in the market for a long time, so she likes to watch the situation when the bride is "worshipping" at the door when she gets married. Because although they could not see the face when they visited the door, they could quite see the charm and figure of the bride, and they would often cheer loudly when they saw the fair woman, and boos when they saw the short and fat bride. Later, the marrying family gradually had a plan, after all, it was always better to get applause than to be booed, so they would send more delicious food before worshipping the door, and even send some copper coins, so they begged those onlookers to cheer more and ask for some money. So Xiang Youer saw that he was about to worship the door at this moment, and because of his long-term habit, he jumped up and stood up, and wanted to go to the crowd to join in the fun. At this time, he was suddenly slapped on the shoulder, and as soon as Xiang Youer turned his head, he received a chestnut blow on his head. Xiang Youer was about to fight back, but she saw that it was Wei Qi!
It turned out that Wei Qi was busy dealing with conscription matters today, and he encountered Kong Liu's entanglement with him about falsely reporting vacancies, he easily pulled out, but found that Xiang You'er had run away, and when he saw that Wang Dou was gone, he knew that he must be secretly going to the wedding in the first auxiliary mansion, and he also felt funny in his heart, and felt that he had a monkey heart, and he couldn't control his heart when he practiced something. At this time, most of him regarded these brothers as his students, so he saw that there was nothing to do, so he went out to find Xiang You'er.
All the ruffians originally wanted to go to the Shoufu Mansion to join in the fun, but because of the little gentleman's ugly face, they all held back, at this time they knew that Xiang Youer and Wang Dou had sneaked away, and they were all envious in their hearts, and at this moment they saw that Mr. was going out, so they all said that they wanted to go together, at this time Wei Qi seemed to have a bad feeling in his heart, and he was very worried in his heart for a moment, so he sank his face and said to everyone that he was going to arrest Xiang Youer back, and he would definitely return before dinner, so that everyone was optimistic about the recruiting ground, and let Bai supervise everyone. At this time, although everyone's hearts were itchy, they admired Wei Qi, and since he had already ordered, everyone's arrogance disappeared, and they returned to the field to work together.
Wei Qi asked for the road, and then came to the front of the Shoufu Mansion, but he was just meeting the arrival of the sedan chair, he glanced at Xiang You'er far away from the crowd, and although the big man beside him was curled up, he had an extraordinary courage. So he watched for a long time, especially when he saw the word "selling swords", which was vaguely a few peerless swordsmanship, and he couldn't help but be secretly vigilant in his heart, so he hid in the crowd and secretly observed and guarded, and only recognized Xiang Youer when he cheered and ran towards the crowd.
At this time, Xiang You'er saw that it was Wei Qi, and her anger suddenly disappeared, and it was replaced by a slight sense of melancholy. Wei Qi didn't care too much, pulled Xiang You'er by the shoulders and pulled him into the crowd, and whispered in Xiang You'er's ear, "Do you know the person who sold the sword?" ”
Xiang You'er shook her head and said, "I don't know!" ”
Wei Qi nodded and said, "That's good, this person is by no means simple." ”
When Xiang You'er heard this, he didn't dare to tell Wei Qi that he had invited the man to drink, so he had to reply: "You don't arrest me and go back?" ”
Wei Qi suddenly squeezed his eyes at Xiang You'er, and said with a smile: "It's natural to catch it, but since you have all met the door worship, it's not too late to see if you go again." As he spoke, he seemed to have become a young man, no longer a serious gentleman.
When Xiang You'er heard this, she couldn't help but look at Wei Qi and laughed, so she patted Wei Qi on the shoulder, and the two of them crowded into the crowd and looked at the sedan chair. At this time, I saw that the sedan chair had fallen far away twenty steps outside the first auxiliary house, according to the ceremony to wait for a song suona "phoenix" to get together, the groom went to the sedan chair to welcome the bride, far away to worship the door and elders, after the firecracker three links, the bride's sedan chair from the side door into the house to calculate the ceremony. At this moment, Jin Yuan, the second son of the Liu family, had already gone to the sedan chair to pick up the bride out of the sedan chair, and the homeless beggars beside him were all shouting loudly, wanting to see what the image of Shoufu's daughter-in-law was, and the street was lively for a while.
saw the bead curtain rolled lightly, and a graceful figure dressed in a phoenix crown slowly stepped out of the sedan chair. The surroundings were noisy and abnormal, but looking at the bride Yingying out of the sedan chair, it was suddenly a lot quieter, although at this time, although through the hijab, I couldn't see the bride's appearance, but in terms of figure alone, it is a rare Peugeot. The surrounding homeless beggars rarely saw the bride like this on weekdays, so they forgot to shout for a while. Xiang You'er couldn't help but swallow her saliva when she saw that the bride was beautiful, but when she looked closely, she felt that a little strange feeling seemed to rise in her heart. At this moment, although he felt that Liu Jinyuan and the bride were quite a good match, he couldn't help but feel that the bride's behavior seemed to be quite stiff and unnatural. He turned his head to look at Wei Qi, wanting to ask to prove his observation, but saw Wei Qi staring at the bride in a daze, his lips slightly open, and he was stunned. Xiang You'er didn't expect Wei Qi to be so greedy, smiled slightly, didn't pay attention to him anymore, swept the distracting thoughts in his mind, and went to watch the ceremony again in a hurry.
But at this time, Liu Jinyuan used a trace of red silk to lead the bride, and had already made three salutes to Liu Shiqi and others, Liu Shiqi also accepted with a smile, Liu Jinyuan waved his hand to let his family set off firecrackers, the firecrackers were quite festive, at this time the surroundings were lively, and when the bride was about to be sent to the sedan chair into the house, he heard the bride "ah" and exhaled softly.
This call was drowned out by the overwhelming firecrackers and the cheers of the crowd, and everyone didn't seem to hear it, but Xiang Youer didn't know why, but he felt that this call was very clear in his ears, and the call seemed to be full of struggle and sadness, sadness and unwillingness. At this moment, he shook his head, no longer thinking about the sound of the call, and then looked at the back of the bride stepping back to the sedan chair, but he couldn't help but feel a little sad in his heart.
At this time, the sound of horses' hooves suddenly sounded from the head of the street, and in a moment five high-headed horses rushed to the front of the Shoufu Mansion, followed by more than twenty men with tied hair dressed in Fuso samurai costumes came with the horses, although they ran fast, but the queue was unified, and they ran long distances without showing breath disorder, these warriors all had swords hanging from their waists, and their figures and gaits turned out to be masters of technical combat. After seeing that these more than 20 samurai came up, they blocked the crowd in a fan shape and gathered around the sedan chair, and all the samurai did not say a word, but stood silent. The horsemen on the horse were also dressed in Fuso attire, and the leader was armed with a long and short katana, and his riding boots were kicked, and the horse he sat on suddenly snorted, but did not move, and it was obvious that this man was very good at riding.
――――――――――――――――――――――――
Message: Wen Rui'an Wen Juxia's little marquis Fang should see the sedan chair is quite against the sky, and the eight famous swords are found to be the sedan chair driver, and the sedan chair of Zhao Gao in the bright moon of Qin Shi is also the eight famous sedan chair men. So it is estimated that this low-key way of showing off wealth with martial arts masters as sedan chair drivers is also a fair and necessary weapon for pretending to be forced in that era!
