The capital Situ Mansion is full of lights, and everyone's face is filled with a happy smile, because the eldest lady in the house, Wang Ling, who is over twenty years old, finally ushered in a happy day.

Early in the morning, the housekeepers and slaves in the house were busy carrying water, cleaning, pasting red paper, hanging red lanterns, and even the needle girl who had left Situ's mansion also pulled Huagui to help.

The thin Wang Dao's face is full of rare brilliance, all these years for the imperial court to worry about it, Wang Dao's body bones are not as good as before, describing the withered tree is a true portrayal of him over the years, the so-called dead wood in spring may be his expression at this time.

Although the new aunt is in his forties, as a seven-grade official of the imperial court, and he is from the Wuxing Shen family, a wealthy family in the south of the Yangtze River, he has not insulted his reputation as the Langya Wang family, so for the new aunt who is about to come to the door, Wang Dao is quite satisfied from the bottom of his heart, after all, his daughter is so old that she can't be delayed, and she can't afford to drag it.

In Wang Ling's boudoir in the backyard, two close-fitting maids are carefully grooming the bride.

"Miss, today is your big day, it's good to be happy, so that you can be happy and safe for a lifetime." The maid Xiaocui persuaded Wang Ling while combing her hair.

Wang Ling, who was dressed in a full costume, pursed his lips, looked at the wax beads on his wrist, and squeezed out a hazy smile from the corner of his mouth.

Xiaozhu, the maid who was putting on makeup for the bride, understood this hazy smile, she shook her head, looked at her master who had served for more than ten years, and persuaded meaningfully: "Miss, let's put away this string of wax beads!" In fact, every woman has a person in her dreams, keep him in her heart, and slowly forget about it later. ”

Wang Ling looked at the little bamboo in front of her, nodded, pursed her lips and smiled, but she didn't plan to put away this string of wax beads that pinned her childhood lovesickness, she planned to carry it all the time.

The procession outside Situ's mansion, beating gongs and drums, has entered Wuyi Lane, and the middle-aged man riding a horse and wearing a big red flower in the front is Wu Xing's Shen Gongzi.

The people who saw the groom's official shook their heads quite dejectedly, everyone only knew that Shen Gongzi was a seventh-grade official of the imperial court, more than forty years old, but they didn't expect him to look so ugly, with a figure of less than five feet, a sharp-beaked monkey cheek, a withered yellow face, and a smile that was even more terrifying, and the mouth with two missing front teeth was full of yellow-brown teeth.

Director Wang, who was originally smiling, couldn't help but blush when he saw his future son-in-law, although he was fully prepared, the image of the new aunt was far beyond his imagination.

"Is there a mistake why people in their early forties are so old?" Mrs. Situ Cao Shu was naturally very dissatisfied with the groom.

Director Wang frowned and shook his head, sighed and stopped talking.

As soon as the etiquette was ready, the bride Wang Ling sat on the sedan chair with the support of two personal maids, and the welcoming procession went to the hometown of Wuxing under the leadership of the groom official Shen Gongzi.

In the evening, the sun in the sky gradually set, the sky is getting darker and darker, Hua'an and his party of more than 90 people have come to the south of Maoshan after a few hours of trekking.

Looking at the mountains that could not be seen at a glance, Hua An let his subordinates rest for a while, and at the same time let the war horses eat some grass to increase their bodies.

"Brother Hua, drink saliva." Wang San took out a bag of water from his arms and handed it to Hua An's hand.

Hua An stretched out his hand and pushed away the water bag handed by Wang San, and said lightly: "I want to drink, who has it." ”

When Tie Niu heard this, he hurriedly handed a pot of good wine that had just opened the lid to Hua An, and said respectfully: "Team Zheng, you can taste the good wine that the bandit's lair touched." ”

Hua An reached out and picked up the wine jug, took a big sip with one mouth, and smacked his lips: "Good wine, really good wine, I haven't drunk so happily for a long time." ”

"That team is drinking more, hehe, my old cow touched five or six pots, all hidden under the saddle." Iron Bull said and secretly pointed to the war horse that was grazing behind him.

Hua An scolded with a smile, took a sip of wine, looked at the sun that was slowly setting in the sky, and fell into deep thought.

"Brother Hua An, I have something on my mind." The careful Wang San could see that Hua'an was a little abnormal.

Hua An pursed his lips and smiled, and said indifferently: "She is getting married today, and the bride must be very beautiful." ”

When Tie Niu heard this, he suddenly came to his senses, his eyes lit up, he stared at Hua'an and asked, "Team Zheng, who is going to get married, is Team Zheng's sweetheart." ”

As soon as the surrounding soldiers heard the 'sweetheart of the team', they also gathered extremely gossipy. Everyone stared at Hua'an, expecting Hua'an's answer.

Hua An glanced at Tie Niu angrily, and ordered loudly: "All get on the horse and move on." ”

When the soldiers heard the order, they had no choice but to get up and pack their bags, step on their horses and continue to move forward.

Along the way, Tie Niu, who didn't ask why, always felt itchy in his heart, and he stepped forward from time to time to listen to Hua An's tone, but Hua An never said a word.

"Help!"

"Stop, stop, you can't run away."

Not far ahead, there were cries for help and chasing.

Hua An Lema ordered: "If there is a situation, all of them will be concealed immediately." ”

The soldiers immediately dismounted and hid in the woods on both sides of the road.

Through the hazy moonlight, Hua An could clearly see that it was a girl calling for help in front of him, and behind this girl were two bandits with large knives.

In the middle of the night, two thieves chased after a girl's house, and at a glance they knew that they were either robbing money or robbing sex.

"I'm worried that I can't find a thief's lair, so I'm running into it." A sneer appeared at the corner of Hua An's mouth, and he ordered from the side: "Wang San, Tie Niu, bow and arrow ready." ”

When Wang San and Tie Niu heard the order, they immediately took out a big bow from their backs, each drew a sharp arrow, and drew the bow to aim at the two bandits in front of them.

"Ah......h

The girl who was running desperately in front of her stumbled and fell to the ground, and the severe pain made it difficult for him to stand up for a moment.

"Run! Why don't you run, get up! Hahaha! ”

The two thieves chasing behind him looked at the girl lying on the ground with squinting eyes, and laughed insolently.

Hua An waved his right hand lightly and ordered: "Release the arrow." ”

Suddenly, two sharp arrows flew towards the two thieves at a very fast speed, only to hear two muffled snorts, one of the thieves fell down with an arrow in the chest, and the other legs were strung together, screaming in pain, standing in place unable to move.

This sudden qiē made the girl lying on the ground stunned at a loss, and the bandit who was strung with legs looked around in horror.

"Let's take a look." Hua An said and took the lead and walked forward. Wang San, Tie Niu and others followed closely behind.

Looking at the thief lying on the ground who had lost his breath, Hua An looked sideways at Tie Niu and sighed: "It's still Wang San's heart, why can't you think of staying alive as a brute bull......"

Tie Niu scratched his head and quibbled: "My old cow saw these two brutes bullying a girl, and he was angry for a while, and he started to do it harder, no, it's enough to have a living mouth, hehe." ”

Iron Bull said, pointing to the bandit who was injured and unable to move.

"Thank you Jun Ye for saving her life, the little girl is grateful." The girl who was injured and lying on the ground struggled to get up and saluted Hua An and the others.

Tie Niu, who was standing next to Hua'an, saw a weak girl saluting to him, and suddenly felt flattered, he hurriedly stepped forward, stretched out his hand to help the girl on the ground, and said politely: "The girl doesn't have to do this big gift, we can't afford it, hehehe!" ”

But the wounded girl still insisted on saluting the soldiers one by one.

Hua An nodded, politely glanced at the girl who saluted him, and suddenly looked stunned, why is this girl's appearance so familiar, as if she has seen it somewhere.

The injured girl just now was lying on the ground, and the sky was very dark, so Hua An didn't see it clearly, but the girl who stood up at this time, the familiar face was under her nose, and the not so beautiful face was sparsely distributed with a few brown marks, and her tearful eyes looked a little hazy in the moonlight.

Although he was favored, his eyes full of gratitude were still mixed with a little imperceptible cold arrogance.

Hua An frowned and thought about it, but he couldn't remember who this person was for a while, maybe the girl in front of him was insignificant in his mind, so he didn't remember it very deeply.

"Where is the girl's house, why do you haunt this barren mountain in the middle of the night." Hua An asked softly.

When the girl heard this, she cried whining, and said vaguely: "The little girl was sold to the eunuchs of the capital when she was young, Miss Meng did not give up, and treated me like a sister, today is the wedding of my young lady, I don't want to meet the bandit on the way, the new aunt was shot by the arrow and fled, poor my young lady was plundered by the bandits, the little woman hid in the grass to escape, but I heard the leader of the bandits say, I want to marry my young lady tonight as the lady of the village, woo woo." ”

The girl cried like a tearful person, wiped her tears and continued: "I wanted to run back to sue Master Sù quickly, but on the way, I met these two patrol bandits who wanted to bully the little girl, thanks to the rescue of your military masters, otherwise, woo woo woo ......"

The girl was crying really sadly, but Hua'an was very angry.

Ever since this girl said, 'My young lady is getting married today', Hua An has completely remembered that this person in front of her is Wang Ling's personal maid Xiaozhu.

Hua An raised his head and breathed a sigh of relief, stepped forward to support Xiaozhu's shoulders, and comforted: "Sister Xiaozhu, don't cry, I will find a way to rescue Miss." ”

When the little bamboo girl saw Hua An holding her fragrant shoulder, she instinctively trembled, but when she heard the young officer in front of her call her sister and her name, she looked up at Hua An in front of her in disbelief, thought for a long time, frowned and exclaimed: "You are, you are Hua An, you are Hua An who often made my young lady happy when I was a child." ”

Hua An closed his eyes and nodded.

Xiaozhu stretched out his hands and touched Hua'an's cheeks, and sobbed excitedly: "It's really Hua'an, I've grown so big after not seeing it for a few years, let my sister take a good look." ”

Hua An gently pushed away Miss Xiaozhu's hands and said softly, "Sister Xiaozhu, how long has Miss been robbed?" ”

Xiaozhu cried and whimpered: "Half an hour, Hua'an, you must rescue Miss." ”

"Don't worry! Leave it to me. Hua An swore and promised.
