Speaking of the streets of the capital, as the honor guard of the Son of Heaven slowly walked out of the city tower, the people who came to watch slowly dispersed.

Wuchen was waiting for this opportunity, knowing that the opportunity could not be missed, they immediately signaled the gong and drum team, and hurriedly beat the suona gong and drum, and the welcoming team followed closely behind the gong and drum team, marching towards the direction of the city tower with an extremely dazzling attitude.

At this time, the people who had already begun to disperse heard the sound of gongs and drums, and looked at the young man riding on the high-headed horse, with a graceful demeanor and a red sedan chair, and knew that this was a team to welcome relatives; I really didn't expect that after visiting a guard of honor of the Son of Heaven, I could also watch a welcoming team of other people's families.

So, many people gathered around, especially some half-old children, who chased after the sedan chair with joy, innocently shouting 'bride, bride'. ’

When Chu Xingyue heard the movement outside, she knew that they were going in the direction of the city tower, thinking of the next check, her heart still couldn't help but gently pull up, and she subconsciously clenched the Xipa in her hand, and her palms were faintly sweating.

Wuchen looked at the innocent children who came around, and did not coax these children to go with a straight face, but looked at Huofeng and Wushuang who had changed their appearance slightly, and after the two understood his meaning, they immediately took out the copper coins that had been prepared long ago, and sprinkled a lot of copper coins out like a goddess scattering flowers, and shouted loudly: "This father and old folks in the capital, our young owner family is married today, thanks to the support of the parents and villagers for the Xiao family over the years, the Xiao family will walk in the mall in the future, I still bother my parents and fellow villagers to support and teach me more. ”

The fire wind cheered like a touch, and at the same time poured copper plates around with all his strength.

The people who came to watch never expected that this welcoming procession would actually throw money at everyone in celebration, although they are all copper plates, but although the ants are small, they are also meat; As a result, the people who had already gathered around were more like chicken blood, and they all squatted down and frantically began to pick up the money on the ground.

At this time, the street, which was easy for good people to calm down because of the departure of the honor guard of the Son of Heaven, became lively again, and it was with this lively energy that the welcoming procession came to the gate of the city tower under the cheers and embrace of everyone.

The officers and soldiers in charge of guarding the gate of the castle tower had already received orders from the prince and the Gyeonggi guard to strictly check the people who had gone out of the capital recently, and after several days of investigation, they could not even see the person the prince was looking for, let alone find the person the prince was looking for.

Because the errand is not satisfactory to the people above, they have been beaten by the board, and now these officers and soldiers who are responsible for guarding the city tower have been holding back their hearts for several days, when they see that they are forced to guard the side of the city tower, it is the wind and the sun, and the hard work has not mixed up a good fruit to eat, but the son of a merchant family has actually made such a big battle, this is not to make them the visitors feel congested.

So, at the moment when the welcoming procession approached the city tower, the officers and soldiers in charge of the security of the city tower surrounded one after another under an order; And the gatekeeper of the Bapin City Tower who gave the order walked up with a swagger, looking up and down at the 'groom official' on horseback, with a disdainful sneer on the corner of his mouth.

Xiao Ruiyuan sat calmly on horseback, let the sharp-beaked monkey-cheeked gatekeeper look himself up and down, and after making a few deep breaths, his face immediately showed a smile like a small common man's welcome, and he saluted the gatekeeper with a fist: "Official, I don't know what crime the grass people have committed, so that you work so hard to surround the grass people's welcoming team?" ”

Wuchen had already taken off his robe, made a simple disguise on his face, dressed up as a housekeeper and walked up with a smile, and saluted the gatekeeper again and again.

The gatekeeper is just a small eight-grade official position, and he is simply a character at the bottom in the capital, and often this kind of person is the most snobbish, if he deals with him carelessly, it is very likely that this kind of villain will be offended; Therefore, at this time, Xiao Ruiyuan and Wuchen were all in good spirits to deal with this gatekeeper.

The gatekeeper held the saber at his waist in one hand and a horsewhip in the other, glanced at the red sedan chair with a thief's smug eyes, and asked knowingly, "Are you greeting your relatives?" Which girl did you marry? ”

For this information, Xiao Ruiyuan had already memorized the melons, and replied with a pampered face: "If you go back to the official master, the grass people are married to the girls of the rouge shop in the south of the city, and the grass people's daughter-in-law who is about to pass through the door is twenty-eight years old this year, and the grass people have been childhood sweethearts since childhood, and the two families are businessmen, and they are considered to be the right people." ”

They are all local snakes in the capital, and the gatekeeper naturally knows who the most famous rouge shop in the south of the city refers to, but he heard that the girl from the rouge shop seems to have just agreed to marry, why did she get married so quickly? It seems that the bridegroom can't wait.

Thinking of this, the gatekeeper couldn't help but smile at Xiao Ruiyuan, and the meaning in his smile could be seen at a glance by anyone with a discerning eye.

Chu Xingyue, the person Xiao Ruiyuan respected the most in his life, could definitely occupy the top three, and now seeing that the gatekeeper dared to think about his sister like this in his heart, a nameless fire immediately burned from between his chest and abdomen, almost breaking his reason, and directly took care of this shameless man with his fist.

At the critical moment, Wuchen first noticed that Xiao Ruiyuan's face had changed slightly, and quickly took out a silver ticket of fifty taels from his sleeve and quietly handed it to the gatekeeper, followed by hooking the doorkeeper's neck like two brothers, and said with a smile: "Official, the most important thing you pay attention to when you look at getting married is a good day, the Xiao family's house is outside the city, and our welcoming team walks from the city to the outside of the city, and a few have an hour to delay back and forth; This is the most important life event in our young owner's life, and the master has repeatedly explained that we must not miss the auspicious time; You see, if you don't raise your noble hand and make it convenient, these silver are the tea money that the Xiao family gave to the officials to drink tea, if the officials still want to drink tea in the future, although they can go to the Xiao family's shop to eat and drink, the Xiao family will definitely welcome it. ”

The gatekeeper looked at the fifty taels of silver tickets in his hand, and a pair of triangular eyes immediately burst out with joy, and at the same time looked at Wuchen with appreciation, "You are still sensible and know how to honor the lord; Okay, they are all their own people, I understand that this marriage is a big thing, and it is also a beautiful thing, and my favorite thing is the beauty of adults; For your sensible sake, brothers, let it go. ”

Hearing the gatekeeper's order, Wuchen's hanging heart finally fell, and Xiao Ruiyuan also turned over and got on the horse, wishing that he could immediately give birth to the right wings and leave these bastards quickly.

The greeting team blew again, Chu Xingyue only felt that the sedan chair shook for a while, and was lifted up again, and then she heard Chunxing, who was guarding the side of the sedan chair, and the voice of the announcement came: "Miss, please rest assured, Xiao Gongzi and Master Wuchen have all taken care of the front, and we will be able to leave the city soon." ”

Just when the sedan chair was about to walk out of the capital after passing through the city tower, a soldier who followed the gatekeeper still reminded him with some unease: "My lord, are we going to let it go like this?" Don't even need to search? What if the person we are looking for is in the sedan chair? ”

Listening to the verbosity of the little soldier next to him, the gatekeeper looked a little anxious, turned around and slapped the little soldier's head fiercely, thinking that he was clever and said: "Are you stupid, the people of Jinggi Wei and Jing Zhaoyin are almost all over the capital, and they can't find even a trace of it, so it can be seen that the person has already left the capital; And we have been guarding here for so many days, and we can't even see a person's hair, which is enough to show that even if we try our best to eat, we can't find the person we are looking for, in this case, why don't we take it easy? ”

As he spoke, the gatekeeper lit up the silver ticket in his hand and said: "A few days ago, we stayed here day and night like dogs, racking our brains to find someone, but the person did not find it, but got a board, which is the most powerful proof of thanklessness; Anyway, my adult in your family has long seen through everything, if you work hard, you have to be on the board, and if you don't work hard, you still have to be on the board, since this is the case, then we will simply come to the lighter; Now we just need to guard the gate of the city and pretend to pass the motions, and we can barely make a difference; If you work hard every day and every night like some time ago, your adults and I will either die of overwork, or be beaten to death by the board above. ”

The gatekeeper self-righteously pointed to the big red sedan chair that had been carried out of the city gate, and educated his subordinates like a passerby, "Look at this pomp and circumstance, it's big enough, it's sensational enough; Who do you think would be so stupid to hide themselves in such an eye-catching sedan chair waiting for someone to investigate? ”

The more the gatekeeper talked, the more excited he became, and the more he spoke, the more he hated the fact that iron could not be made of steel, and slapped the little soldier on the head again, and said: "In the future, you can have a long snack, and stop shouting some nonsense; As long as you do your job in peace, your adults and I will never treat you badly. ”

The little soldier was trained to be bloody, and obediently shrunk his neck and walked away; It's just that while walking away, the little soldier still looked at the greeting team that had gone away a few more times with some anxiety; In fact, he didn't know what's wrong, he just felt that the welcoming team was very strange, and the sedan chair looked very strange, and even the groom official made him look very weird.

In short, there is a strange energy up and down this welcoming team, which makes him feel uncomfortable.

It's just that others are soft-spoken, and the adults don't believe what they say at all, and they also scold him with blood, and now, he can only pray in his heart that the person is not hiding in the sedan chair and leaves, otherwise, if the people above know that they were bribed by fifty taels of silver and let them go, at that time, it will not be as simple as a board.
