The official university crushed people to death! Under the urging of the prefect of Cao and Mrs. Cao, Long Qingyun could not shirk - the Long and Zhao families invited another matchmaker and sent the "good news" on October 18, the 22nd year of Guangxu, and preliminarily determined the marriage - Since then, the life train of the Long family has turned into an abnormal track, and a series of jaw-dropping news has been released.

This time to send "good news", he was dissatisfied with Cao Shihong's arranged marriage, and he didn't want to embarrass his parents, and at the same time, he also missed Sun Xiaorou's young master Long Zaitian, who had been "studying in the study" and never showed up; Master Long and his family were also reluctant to obey. Regarding this point, the prefect Cao Shihong saw it in his eyes and wanted to think in his heart - in order to avoid having too many dreams at night, Cao Shihong pressed Long Qingyun step by step to get engaged to Long Zaitian and Zhao Shuxian as soon as possible.

On June 20, the 23rd year of Guangxu, Master Long, who was "difficult to disobey", and Zhao Xiaoren, who couldn't ask for it, held an engagement ceremony for Long Zaitian and Zhao Shuxian in accordance with the will of Cao Zhifu - this is tantamount to openly showing people that the marriage between Long Zaitian and Zhao Shuxian, which Cao Shihong tied with power, has been established; And Long Zaitian's free love with Sun Xiaorou has been completely shattered.

According to the rules and customs, the noon of the day (or the evening before) is the woman's treat; But the young master of Long Zaitian did not go to Zhao's house for a banquet. Why did Young Master Long Zaitian not come to Zhao's house for the banquet, the guests guessed a lot. But the explanation given by Master Long and Mrs. Long was: "Long Zaitian took care of the dinner at home" - such an explanation that even Long Qingyun and his wife did not believe.

In the afternoon, Mrs. Long was about to talk to Young Master Long, asking him to "take care of the overall situation" and do a good job of the engagement ceremony. But I heard the old housekeeper Feng Changwen come to report: The young master is gone!

Long Zaitian Young Master is gone? Where did it go? The engagement banquet is about to start, but the "groom-to-be" is gone, what can I do? Mrs. Long Li Xiangjun hurriedly sent people to look around.

The leading figures from all walks of life in Jiangzhou, the good friends of the Long and Zhao families, and the relatives and relatives came to the Dragon Mansion one after another; Those who went down to look for the dragon in the sky still did not see any trace of the dragon in the sky; Master Long and Mrs. Long were in a hurry.

It's already past seven o'clock in the evening! All the guests have arrived! Young Master Long Zaitian still hasn't found it. Master Long and Mrs. Long, who were so anxious to scratch their ears and cheeks, had to greet Governor Cao and the guests, saying that Long Zaitian "was overworked by Zhang Luo's dinner party, and was taking a bath and massaging in the bathroom, and he would be there soon, please drink a few glasses first." ”

Cao Zhifu knew that it was his strong melon, and Long Zaitian was not very satisfied, and he was playing petty. But Cao Shihong didn't put the unhappiness on his face - being able to marry Xian'er into the Dragon Mansion and marry Xian'er to Long Zaitian as his wife, this is the main purpose; That is, the victory of my Cao Shihong. As for your dragon playing petty in the sky and trying to turn the sky upside down, you can't turn it over! As long as Xian'er enters the Dragon Mansion, who will be afraid of who will not be able to say in the future! Therefore, Cao Shihong also took the lead in drinking as if he was fine.

Guests, you two treat me with a cup of wine, and constantly bring wine and food to my stomach. Until the curtain was lowered at the banquet, the wine was smoky, and the people with full stomachs did not see the trace of the "prospective groom" Long Zaitian - Long Zaitian, who was dissatisfied with Cao Shihong and Zhao Shuxian's one hundred and twenty people, and could not disobey the orders of his parents, drank at his friend Sun Zhipeng's house - spit bitter water on Sun Zhipeng, confided in Sun Xiaorou, and confessed his unwillingness to engage Zhao Shuxian.

Although it was an "absent engagement ceremony", Long Zaitian and Zhao Shuxian were also engaged! Soon, Cao Zhifu and his wife Shi Yun, who were in a high position and were afraid of extraneous branches, urged the Long family and the Zhao family to marry Long Zaitian and Zhao Shuxian as soon as possible. Therefore, the Long family and the Zhao family held a marriage ceremony for Long Zaitian on April 16 of the 24th year of Guangxu (Wushu year).

At noon on the same day, the two sides of the old moon, the relatives of the Long family and the Zhao family, colleagues and colleagues, and people from all walks of life flew in the hall of the Zhao family to offer offerings, poured and drank freely, and frequently stuffed the contents of the cup and the plate of Chinese food into their stomachs one by one, and then said goodbye with a red face.

In the afternoon, the Long family sent out the team to the Zhao family with 8,000 whips and 28 salutes.

At the front of the procession are sixteen drummers, and behind the drummers are two friends of Long Zaitian, who are responsible for setting off firecrackers all the way; Then there is the groom who was begged by his parents with both soft and hard, "The matter has come to this, I have to get married", and the groom riding a tall horse is in the sky; Behind the dragon is a large sedan chair carried by four people; Behind the large sedan chair are four matchmakers; Behind the matchmaker are two young men carrying cakes and dumplings; Behind the cake dumpling is a bride price carried by two people; Behind the bride price are twenty-four gifts picked by six people.

The brigade was mighty and mighty, and it stretched out.

The Dragon Mansion is in Dongcheng District, Jiangzhou, and the Zhao family lives at the south gate of Jiangzhou, and the procession of welcoming relatives is like a procession, from east to west and then to south, almost half of Jiangzhou City. Because the name of the Long family is Xuanhe, and he is married to the aunt and nephew of the prefect's family; Therefore, the news of the marriage spread all over the urban and rural areas of Jiangzhou - people helped the old and the young, came from all directions, crowded on both sides of the street, followed behind the team, you pushed me, bustling, it was really lively.

When the welcoming team arrived at the door of Dezhao's house, they saw firecrackers blaring in unison and gunsmoke overflowing; In the congratulatory and congratulatory voices, the old moon, the bearer, the groom and other visitors came in one by one. Zhao Shuxian's parents are about to arrange for a group of people to sit down, drink sweet tea, and eat pastries.

After tea, the old moon "urges the sedan chair" (urges the bride to get on the sedan chair).

Suddenly, the bride Zhao Shuxian wore heavy makeup and glamorous clothes, and was carried into the sedan chair by the bridesmaids - it is inevitable to do some red tape such as "crying", "scraping mud", "splashing water", "according to the sieve" and so on, so I won't repeat it.

Everything stopped, the sedan chair was fired, and the team marched from the Zhao family to the Dragon Mansion.

Welcome the family horses, the bride's sedan chair all the way to the Dragon Mansion; In the deafening sound of firecrackers, the bride got off the sedan chair, and was sent into the cave room after being held by the bridesmaids left and right, worshipping heaven and earth, kneeling in the high hall, and worshipping the husband and wife.

As early as before, the leading figures from all walks of life in Jiangzhou City, as well as the relatives and friends of the Long family and the Zhao family, have arrived one after another; Everyone smiled, blessed with words, and according to the rules, seniority, and identity, they were in place.

Everyone arrived, and the wedding feast began immediately.

Toasting, toasting, drinking, entertaining, the banquet soon entered the **.

Probably because the marriage between Long Zaitian and Zhao Shuxian was destined to have a bad start and a good end - the guests were drinking happily, and suddenly a thin man jumped out of the thin hemp pole, came to Young Master Long with a wine glass, and shouted loudly with a face full of wine and ferocity:

"The dragon is in the sky! Listen to me! My sister is able to tie the knot with you, this is your creation; I hope you can take good care of my sister in the future, love my sister, and respect my sister, otherwise neither I nor the prefect will be able to spare you! When sending "good news" and getting engaged, the marriage was never fully implemented, and the Zhao family never dared to say any nonsense. Now married! The marriage is completely decided! The people of the Zhao family relied on the prestige of the Cao Governor's Mansion to "know how powerful" to Young Master Long (the Long family).

"You...... You are? Young Master Long, who has always been flattered and has never been insulted, was so "taught" by others at this wedding ceremony, and his heart was unhappy. But he still refrained from asking who the other party was, and then fought back.

"Me! I am Zhao Shuxian's younger brother Zhao Tong! I'm telling you! Our dignified Zhao family is not easy to mess with! ”

"You are Zhao Shuxian's younger brother Zhao Tong? Why haven't I heard that Zhao Shuxian has a younger brother named Zhao Tong? Where did you come from? Young Master Long Zaitian replied to Zhao Tong with a heavy arrow.

"Zhao Tong! This is a wedding banquet, and you must not be rude to Long Gongzi! Master Long! I'm sorry! This Zhao Tong is the son of my younger brother Zhao Yiren and Xian'er's cousin; I hope you will bear with me and don't care. Zhao Shuxian's father Zhao Xiaoren hurriedly came forward to mediate - this Zhao Xiaoren didn't want his nephew Zhao Tong to come to his daughter's wedding banquet, but he was not very opposed to Zhao Tonglai in his heart - Zhao Tong's act today is considered to be a killing stick for the Long family, and it is also to "establish prestige" for the Zhao family; So when Zhao Tong made a fuss, Zhao Xiaoren stepped in to stop it.

"Good! As my uncle said, I don't care about him. Because it was his wedding banquet, Long Zaitian didn't want to say anything, so he glanced at Zhao Tong and beckoned everyone to continue drinking.

Long Zaitian didn't want to say anything, but the insensitive Zhao Tong jumped out and attacked Young Master Long:

"The dragon is in the sky! Let me tell you: My sister has been living in your Long family for a long time from today, and today I will give you three chapters of the law: 1. Don't bully my sister; 2. Everything is as my sister pleases; 3. You are not allowed to touch any other woman outside except my sister. If you break one, I'll come to you to settle the score!" ”

"Zhao Tong! It's my own business to marry my wife, and how I treat my wife is also my own business, and it has nothing to do with you! Why do you make irresponsible remarks? What else do you say about the three chapters of the law, let me tell you, you Zhao Tong are not qualified to say these words to me! I don't want to pay attention to you either! If you want to drink, sit down in your seat and drink; If you don't want to drink, get out! Young Master Long unceremoniously shot back at the scoundrel Zhao Tong.

"You dare to curse? Do you dare to ask me to get out? I see you roll me over! "The ruffian Zhao Tong relied on Cao Zhifu as the backstage, and he didn't have any sense of proportion.

"You're telling me to go?" Young Master Long Zaitian was furious when he heard Zhao Tong's wild words! I wanted to teach Zhao Tong a good lesson; But a strange thought suddenly flashed in his mind - good! You let me go, and I'll go! ——Young Master Long Zaitian, who was full of resentment and was extremely reluctant to marry Zhao Shuxian, seized the opportunity, took advantage of the topic, and ran away angrily to embarrass the Zhao family (Zhao Shuxian) - Anyway, this fire was burned by your Zhao family.

"Young Master Long! You adults don't care about villains, don't go......" This is Zhao Xiaoren's voice.

"Oh my God! You're back! Today is your wedding day! "This is the voice of Lady Dragon.

"Zhao Tong! You bastard! This is the voice of Cao Zhifu - although Cao Shihong thinks that the dragon can't turn the sky upside down; But today is the day of Xian'er's wedding; If the groom runs away from home, what else will Zhao Shuxian marry? Where is the face of the prefect going? So he scolded Zhao Tong resentfully for being a bastard.

The groom left the wedding banquet and ran away! The relatives and relatives of the Long family and the Zhao family were dumbfounded! All the guests had no intention of drinking and eating, and were all waiting to see how things unfolded. To put it bluntly, they are all waiting to see the show.

"Come, come, come! Everyone drinks and will be back in the day! Master Long Qingyun hurriedly beckoned everyone to drink - he not only resented that Long Zaitian should not leave the wedding banquet, but also felt that this Zhao Tong (Zhao family) was really hateful, and at the same time resented Cao Shihong for oppressing people with officials and forcibly marrying - Zhao Tong was fooling around, and Long Zaitian left the table, which was also equivalent to a slap in the face to Cao Shihong.

"Good, good! Come on, come on! Everyone drinks, Young Master Long will be back soon! Regardless of whether Long Zaitian will come back soon, Governor Cao will also follow Master Long Qingyun's words to invite everyone to drink - he is getting off the donkey down the slope to not embarrass himself.

Both the master and the prefect have spoken! Everyone had no choice but to sit down and hastily continue the unfinished business; I put down the dishes and chopsticks and went home.

The guests are basically scattered! Cao Zhifu is also going back! Before parting, Cao Zhifu scolded Zhao Tong again. But it is also a soft training for Master Long Qingyun: ask Long Qingyun to teach his son well, and let Long Zaitian behave in a standardized manner; In particular, we must pay attention to benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom and faith. Cao Shihong also said that great loyalty and great love are benevolent; Great filial piety and courage for righteousness; Repair Qi Zhiping as a courtesy; Knowing the time and knowing things is wisdom; Fairness and honesty are for faith – and young people must do these things.

At the same time, Cao Shihong also asked Long Qingyun to send more people out to find Young Master Long Zaitian, because the bride Zhao Shuxian was still waiting in the cave room to eat and have a glass of wine! On this wedding night, Zhao Shuxian can't stay alone in the empty room!

Where is the young master Long Zaitian? Zhao Tong made a big fuss about the wedding banquet and blurted out that let Young Master Long go! Young Master Long, who was unwilling to marry Zhao Shuxian, took advantage of the topic to leave the wedding banquet and went to his friend Sun Zhipeng's house!

When the young master of Long Zaitian, who was three points drunk and seven points angry, came to the door of Sun Zhipeng's house, he woke up suddenly-Sun Zhipeng was still eating happy wine in his Dragon Mansion!

Now that it's here! Why don't you go in and rest? Thinking of this, Young Master Long Zaitian pushed the door of the Sun family - the gate of the Sun family was actually hidden.

How could the door of the Sun family be hidden? It turned out to be Sun Zhipeng's sister Sun Xiaorou who was restlessly waiting for her brother to come back in the yard:

Sun Xiaorou heard that Long Zaitian married Zhao Shuxian today, and the anger and resentment in her heart rushed straight to the bullfight - she looked at Dongcheng District from afar in the courtyard, sighed for a long time, and cursed from time to time: Dragon in the sky, Dragon in the sky! You guy! Are you just abandoning me? Is the relationship that we have been getting along for more than ten years abandoned like this? Are you willing to marry the woman you don't like? You're getting married today! What do I do going forward? You wrongdoer! You bastard! Your marriage will not end well (Sun Xiaorou said in one word, the marriage between Long Zaitian and Zhao Shuxian really did not end well)!

Sun Xiaorou was cursing and scolding Long Zaitian, but saw a black shadow push the door and enter. Sun Xiaorou was about to ask who it was, but when she saw the black shadow enter the door, she went straight to her brother's room and fell on her brother's bed.

Isn't this the dragon in the sky? Today is his wedding day, how did he come to my house? I'm afraid you're here to see me! But when they wanted to see me, why didn't they look for me, but fell down on my brother's bed?

Sun Xiaorou thought so in her heart, and walked to her brother's room.

"Young Master Long! Today is your big wedding day, you are not at home and love the bride**, what are you doing at my house? Sun Xiaorou asked with thorns in her cotton and vinegar in her voice.

"Hmmm! It's Xiaorou! Young Master Long Zaitian, who was unhappy in his heart, did not answer Sun Xiaorou's question head-on, nor did he sit up, so he leaned back on Sun Zhipeng's bed and replied to Sun Xiaorou.

"Young Master Long! Are you thirsty? I'll pour you a glass of water. Sun Xiaorou secretly thought in her heart: Long Zaitian did not accompany the bride at home on the wedding night of Young Master Tian, something must have happened, and there must be a lot of pain in her heart; How can I add fuel to the fire and make him angry? Therefore, Sun Xiaorou changed her tone.

"Come on! Get up and drink some water. Sun Xiaorou, who didn't hear Long Zaitian's reply, poured boiling water, held the teacup in one hand and pulled Long Zaitian Young Master with the other.

When Young Master Long Zaitian saw Sun Xiaorou pulling him, he quickly struggled to sit up, took the teacup from Sun Xiaorou's hand, and said twice, "Thank you!" ”

"What are you thankful for pouring a glass of water? Well! Master Long! You're getting married today, why don't you stay at home? Sun Xiaorou deliberately said that accompanying the bride was a companion.

"Hey......" Young Master Long Zaitian sighed, and then told the scoundrel Zhao Tong about the banquet, and he used the topic to play and told Sun Xiaorou about the situation of running away from the banquet one by one.

"Oh! So it was. That...... Then you're not going back today!? Sun Xiaorou said in an indistinguishable tone.

"I ......" Young Master Long Zaitian couldn't answer Sun Xiaorou's question for a while.

"Young Master Long! I think since you're out, don't go back, okay? Sun Xiaorou said affectionately.

"This ......" Young Master Long Zaitian still couldn't answer Sun Xiaorou's question and answer question.

"In the sky! I have told you many times: I am your person in this life and this life. Today is your wedding day, but you left the wedding banquet for some reason and came to my house, which is probably God's arrangement, which is God's will. Then you don't want to go back! I'm married to you! "A girl in love is irrational - seeing the young master Long Zaitian, who ran away from the banquet and came to his own house, leisurely wanted to go back but didn't want to go back; Sun Xiaorou had a whimsical idea - she wanted to replace Zhao Shuxian as the bride of Young Master Long on Long Zaitian's wedding day, and married Long Zaitian.

"This is unacceptable! This is indispensable! When Young Master Long Zaitian heard Sun Xiaorou's words, he was shocked, and hurriedly said that he couldn't break it!

"What's wrong with that? I'm going to be your woman today! I'm going to dedicate my ** body to you today! Sun Xiaorou did not flinch, and took the initiative to unbutton herself.

"Xiaorou! This is indispensable! I know what you want! I have received your affection! But I can't hurt you! I can't defile your white chastity, girls must be as guarded as jade! "Young Master Long Zaitian saw Sun Xiaorou take the initiative to dedicate himself, and he was so anxious that he didn't know what to do.

"Guarding yourself like jade? For whom am I guarded? For that vulgar man Fang Zhihao to guard himself like jade? That's literally sticking flowers in cow dung and throwing cakes for dogs to eat! Only by dedicating my ** body to you, this is the right place, this is my wish! Sun Xiaorou said as she continued to untie her clothes.

"No! No way! Absolutely not! Shinorou! If you do this again, I'll be gone! Young Master Long Zaitian said as he got up and wanted to leave.

"I'm not going to let you go! We must do good things today! It's not in vain for you and me to get along! Sun Xiaorou pushed Young Master Long Zaitian down on the bed with one palm, and pressed on him......

"Uh-huh!" At this "last moment", a "foreign cough" curbed Sun Xiaorou's willful behavior.

——Because the groom Long Zaitian young master left the banquet, the wedding banquet of the Long family ended hastily. Sun Zhipeng came back early from eating a good wine in Longfu, but heard someone talking in his room. He approached the door and listened, it turned out that his sister Sun Xiaorou wanted to forcibly dedicate herself to the young master of Long Zaitian; Long Zaitian Young Master refused to obey. Therefore, Sun Zhipeng hurriedly let out a "foreign cough" to stop the farce with unimaginable consequences.

"Brother! Why are you back now? Sun Xiaorou, who was about to drink male and female food with her sweetheart, saw that her brother had ruined her good deeds, and she was so angry that her mouth turned up to the sky.

"Leaving the banquet in the sky, the wedding banquet of the Dragon Mansion ended hastily; Everyone ate a little bit and came back! Sun Zhipeng didn't care about his sister's attitude, so he explained the situation eloquently.

"Hmmm! It's boring! Sun Xiaorou said something unpredictable and incomprehensible.

"Brother in Tianxian! I'll send you back! Sun Zhipeng did not dare to take on the "crime" of "harboring the groom".

"I don't want to go back!" The dragon still hated the rest of the day and didn't want to go back.

"Young Master Long doesn't want to go back, don't go back!" Sun Xiaorou said suspiciously.

"That'...... All right! Little sister, you go get a few dishes, let's have a few drinks with Zaiten, he hasn't eaten dinner yet! Sun Zhipeng has already ruined Sun Xiaorou's "good deeds", and he can't drive the dragon away anymore! Otherwise, my sister will hate him to death.

"Yes!" Sun Xiaorou, who was unhappy, happily went.

After a while, Sun Xiaorou made two small stir-fried dishes, a plate of cucumbers, a plate of peanuts, and a plate of pine eggs, and moved them to her brother's room; also took three wine glasses—the three of them raised their glasses in Sun Zhipeng's room and poured them down, and drank them slowly.

When the drunken Young Master Long Zaitian left the Sun family, the east had already revealed the morning light - Zhao Shuxian relied on power to marry Long Zaitian's wedding night, but it was "thinking about you, hating you, hating until you return, and the moonlight people leaned on the building".

At the same time, from today on, the relationship between Young Master Long Zaitian and Miss Sun Xiaorou for more than ten years came to an abrupt end - two years later, under the repeated urging and pleading of the Fang family, Sun Xiaorou Ai married Fang Xiaolin's son Fang Zhihao resentfully.

Long Zaitian and Sun Xiaorou's beautiful love affair for more than ten years is as gorgeous and brilliant as fireworks blooming in the night sky; It's a pity that the good times didn't last long, and the glory was no more. But they (they) all put this unforgettable love deep in their hearts, and it will be unforgettable for a lifetime.
