Old Man Qiao nodded happily and said, "Okay, then you will work hard and be responsible for your sister's marriage." ”

"Don't worry!"

Just do it, and the crowd immediately got busy.

Because Qiao Qiaoer's legs are not good yet, but it is inconvenient to worship heaven and earth with crutches, and it is not good-looking, but fortunately, her condition is much better than before, and she can walk down to worship with her support, so the matchmaker discussed with the two families and decided to arrange for the bridesmaids to be responsible for supporting her beside her.

So, Qiao Guan took Qiao Qiao'er, Miao Peilan, and the brides who were responsible for dressing up the bride back to Qiao's house in a carriage. The cave room is in the bedroom next to the main house.

After the Zuo family withdrew the eighty yuan bride price from the old doctor, now it only uses fifty yuan, and there are still thirty yuan left, which is more than enough for this marriage. It's easy to get things done with money. Everything was spinning in unison.

Bai Zhihan and Miao Peilan finally had hope, and the original partner was Qiao Qiaoer, who was very good with her, and they were also very satisfied, so they worked extremely hard.

Mr. and Mrs. Qiao and Zuo Gui's father set up a square table in the patio, sat and wrote wedding cards, and Zuo Shaoyang dressed up in the cave room surrounded by a group of happy girls.

The Zuo family has not many relatives and friends in the capital, mainly the old lady Qu's family, as well as the nine Jinshi Qu Ming, Qiu Yihu, Wu Shu and others on the same list, as well as the poor scholar Ma Zhou and so on. Nearby relatives and friends have already arrived after receiving the invitation. The yard was very lively. Bai Zhihan was responsible for registering the congratulatory gifts, and Miao Peilan and Ding Xiaosan arranged for the guests to be seated in the wing. The congratulatory voices and laughter were endless.

Seeing that noon was getting closer and closer, and it was time to meet the bride, Zuo Shaoyang rode on a rented high-headed horse, took Bai Zhihan and Miao Peilan, and set off to welcome his relatives under the support of a team of drummers arranged by the matchmaker.

The welcoming procession passed through the city, from the south city to the north city of Qiao's house. Pedestrians on both sides of the street stopped to point and laugh, and a group of children followed behind to talk and laugh.

Zuo Shaoyang was dressed as a groom, riding on a tall horse covered with red colors, looking left and right, this is the second time he wore a groom outfit to greet his relatives, the first time was the last time he went to the old lady's house, but that time he regretted his marriage at the old lady's house, and the greeting team went straight to the yamen, and broke up unhappily. Let's hope everything goes well this time.

As the saying goes, good things come a lot, and what I was worried about still happens.

Qiao Qiao'er was sitting at home, and the brides had already dressed her up and left, leaving only Miao Peilan in the house.

Qiao Qiao'er said to Miao Peilan: "Sister Lan'er, you go to the door to take a look, it's almost time, brother, they should be almost there, can you pick it up?" ”

"Okay!" Miao Peilan went out happily.

Only Qiao Qiao'er was left in the new room, sitting cross-legged on the bed, with a big red hijab on the side of the bed, she would touch the phoenix crown with her hand for a while, and the whole curtain would be neat for a while, and she always felt that this bridal dress was both novel and unfamiliar, and her heart was pounding.

At this moment, the window opened without wind, and a dark shadow shook in and landed silently in front of Qiao Qiao'er's bed.

Qiao Qiao'er was frightened: "Who are you?" What to do? ”

The man was unmasked, an old man, kind and kind, holding only a piece of paper in his hand. He whispered: "Don't be afraid, I'm not a bad person, I'm here to deliver the letter, and someone asked me to give you this letter." ”

"Who's sending the letter?"

"You'll know when you look at it. It's all written in the letter. I hope you will do what the letter says, so that you don't regret it! With that, put the piece of paper next to the bed. With a faint smile, he turned to leave.

At the moment when she turned around, a large net fell silently from above, and her head was covered!

The old man secretly screamed badly, his movements were very fast, and he immediately flew up obliquely, dodging the net!

Unexpectedly, he was in the air, only to find that there was another net behind the net, under the hood.

The old man took a sharp breath in the air, used the ladder cloud vertical, turned around in the air, and flew forward a foot, just enough to avoid the second net!

However, in the direction where he rushed out, the other party seemed to have calculated his movements, and another net was under the hood. He had no more strength to borrow, and the net was covered squarely, falling into the net like a black fish.

In a flash of cold light, the old man already had a short blade in his hand, and with a bang, he slashed towards the fishing net. At the same time, a few people rushed into the house, but it was the servants who were waiting outside the house, and the long swords and waist knives in their hands were pointed at the old man in the net, and several archers, standing at the four corners, stretched their bows and arrows, aiming at her.

Immediately after, Qiao Guan walked into the house quickly and looked coldly at the old man in the fishing net.

The old man threw away the short blade in his hand and stared at Qiao Guan: "Lord Qiao is a good means, how do you know that I am coming?" Lay down this Dali Temple's patrol 'Heaven and Earth Net Array'? ”

"You have a little vision, you know my Dali Temple patrolling the 'Heaven and Earth Net Array', presumably you are the one who destroyed Zuo Gongzi's marriage a few times ago and forced others to regret their marriage, right? Zuo Gongzi was clever, and he had already concluded that this time the sister would marry, and you would come again to make trouble, so he wrote a note and stuffed it to me, so that the Dali Temple could be mobilized to catch quickly, and the rabbit was waiting for you to come. Hehe, this official also wants to see where you are sacred, and you can have such great ability to say that the old lady doctor should not regret the marriage. ”

The old man said coldly: "Curiosity will kill people, Master Qiao, don't say anything, let's see what is written on that piece of paper first." ”

Qiao Guan looked at the piece of paper beside Qiao Qiaoer on the bed suspiciously, walked to the side of the bed and reached out to get it, Qiao Qiaoer had already grabbed it in his hand and unfolded it, with only a simple line of words on it: "If you want the whole family to be killed, don't marry your daughter to Zuo Shaoyang!" ”

The font is embroidered, there is only one seal at the sign, Qiao Qiaoer took a closer look, and the seal was engraved with "The Seal of the Eldest Princess of Yongjia"!

The eldest princess of Yongjia, also called Princess Fangling, is the daughter of Emperor Li Yuan of Gaozu and the sister of the current emperor Li Shimin. is a famous Yindang princess in history, who has married two husbands in her life and has countless lovers around her. And this person is notoriously ruthless, the man she fancies, she has to get it by all means, no matter who he is, don't want to escape from her palm.

This eldest princess of Yongjia is very good at observing words and feelings, and her mouth is extremely sweet, she is very much loved by Emperor Gaozu and the current emperor Li Shimin, everything depends on her, even if she makes everyone ruined, the two emperors can't bear to blame her too much, but wipe her ass again and again to clean up the aftermath. The emperor's connivance with her behavior made this eldest princess of Yongjia even more unscrupulous.

The eldest princess of Yongjia, whose surname is Yindang, has a reputation for being vicious and vicious, and almost everyone in the capital knows about it, but everyone doesn't dare to talk about it in person. Qiao Qiao'er, the daughter of the official family, how did she not know the silver name of this eldest princess. When I saw this piece of paper, I was immediately frightened, and I couldn't make a sound.

Qiao Guan took the note and read it, he was also stunned, and then said to a few catchers: "You guys retreat first!" ”

The first one caught quickly and said, "Lord Qiao, what should I do with this guy?" ”

"Put it here!"

"Do you want to tie it up first?"

"No, you guys go out at once, don't tell anyone!"

"Yes!" Several catchers agreed in unison, bowed, and turned to retreat.

The fishing net has been tied tightly by the old man, this kind of special fishing net has a special mechanism, the more he struggles, the tighter it is, the old man seems to know that it is powerful, and he does not move, still curled up and stays inside.

Qiao Guan carefully read the note again, and Qiao Qiao'er's crying voice came from his ears: "Brother, what should I do?" ”

The old man sneered: "What else can I do, it has been written very clearly on the note, the eldest princess of Yongjia has taken a fancy to Zuo Gongzi, do you still want to compete with the princess for a man?" Hey, let's take a look at how many heads you have! ”

Qiao Guan stared at the old man and asked slowly, "Are you the person of the eldest princess of Yongjia?" ”

"You don't have to worry about this, just take care of yourself, warn you, Princess Yongjia doesn't want more people to know about this, so you must not tell anyone else, especially Zuo Gongzi and other people from the Zuo family! Otherwise, your whole family's net worth and surname will not be guaranteed, don't say that I didn't remind you when the time comes! ”

Qiao Guan's face was cloudy, looking at the paper in his hand.

Qiao Qiao'er suddenly stopped crying, sat up on her knees on the bed, and said to Qiao Guan: "Brother, you go out for a while, I have something to say to him, okay?" ”

Qiao Guan's heart was in turmoil, anyway, this old man didn't come here to assassinate, there should be no danger, so he nodded, turned around and exited the house.

Qiao Qiao'er got out of bed, took off her robe and knelt on the ground, and said to the old man in the fishing net: "Old man, please have mercy on me and promise me one thing!" ”

"What's the matter? Please spare your life? Don't ask, as long as you don't marry Zuo Gongzi, just tell him that your family regrets the marriage, originally I wanted to tell your father directly, but your father has been with others in the Zuo family, which is really inconvenient, and you are in too much of a hurry, so I came to you out of desperation. ”

Qiao Qiao'er shook her head, tears falling from her eyes: "Our family of three was in Hezhou at the beginning, and we almost starved to death, but it was Zuo Gongzi's family who squeezed out food from between their teeth for us to eat, so we survived the famine, and we can't forget the grace of saving lives." At that time, my father repented of his marriage in Hezhou, I didn't know that time, I thought it was the Zuo family who didn't want me, but now I know, Zuo Gongzi said to his face that he wanted to marry me, and there were already three families who regretted their marriage, and Uncle Zuo even went to Yamen for this lawsuit. If we repent of marriage again, what will be the face of the Zuo family? If the old man is angry, we will not be at ease for the rest of our lives! ”

"It's just about you, and what do you care about others?"

"The grace of receiving a drop of water should be reciprocated by a spring, let alone the grace of saving lives. So, old man, what I beg you is to give me a chance to repay my kindness and let me marry Zuo Gongzi, there is less than an hour, and when I visit Zuo Gongzi, I will immediately commit suicide and apologize to the eldest princess! ”

After that, Qiao Qiao'er prostrate on the ground, whimpering and crying and kowtowing.
