Chapter Ninety-Seven: Passing the Battle
"Once you comb your hair, you don't have to worry about being rich.
The second comb is combed to the hair, disease-free and worry-free.
Three combs combed to the head, many sons and many longevity.
and then comb to the end, raise the case and raise eyebrows,
There is a beginning and an end, and everything goes well. ”
Xu Shi held a new comb in his hand, and went down for Bai Yanran from beginning to end. Every time she brushed it, she sang a harmonious sentence in her mouth, and her face was kind and focused, as if she was worshipping in front of the Buddha.
The smile on the corner of Bai Yanran's mouth was light but gentle, but her eyes were quietly red. The person who gives the bride is very particular, and it needs to be a perfect old man with a harmonious husband and wife, a perfect offspring, no illness and no disaster, and a noble character, and preferably an elder in the family.
Originally, this errand should have been picked up by grandmother Zhou, but Zhou has been unwell recently, and yesterday he held on to the ancestral wine for a while, and today his spirit is not good, and he is still sleeping.
So he entrusted it to his aunt Zhang, but Xu took the initiative to take over the errand after learning about it, and came early today. The old man's heart warmed people's hearts, and it also made Bai Yanran feel more at ease.
After combing, Xu twisted Bai Yanran's green silk into a bun, which means that she will be a woman in the future, and she can no longer be as green and silk as before, and she will be dressed up in her daughter's house.
The last step is to wear a phoenix crown.
Wearing a phoenix crown in the shape of a golden phoenix, jade is embellished, and the top is inlaid with pearls, which is luxurious and dazzling. Wearing a red jacket inside, embroidered shoes on the feet, a tassel ribbon at the waist, an embroidered skirt, and a brocade on the shoulders, this is the Xia Veil.
This body is the best embroidery in the palace and the craftsmen worked day and night, until yesterday all sent to the house, no place is not exquisite and luxurious, arrived at all the women in the world dream of the wedding dress.
Bai Yanran let Su Xin put on layers of wedding clothes for her, and Xu Shi steadily put the priceless phoenix crown on her head, and took a few steps back to look at it carefully, and said with a smile: "Good, good, good, what a beautiful girl." ”
The bride was already dressed neatly, but Ji Lingyun came out of the room in disheveled clothes. Gu Fang stood at the door, confronting Zhu Yong in front of him. As soon as Zhu Yong saw Ji Lingyun, he raised his voice and shouted: "Lord Wang, you can count it, if you delay any longer, you will miss the auspicious time." For such an urgent matter, the Gu Fang guards stopped the old slave from going in to call you, which almost ruined the big thing. ”
Ji Lingyun knows how much Zhu Yong values the wedding, and now he is taking advantage of the topic.
He thought that Gu Fang's arbitrary behavior this time was definitely touching the prince's head, and when his words fell, he really saw Ji Lingyun frown unhappily. The corners of Zhu Yong's mouth were already upturned, but he didn't want Ji Lingyun to rub his eyebrows and only said, "I know, you have everything ready, and I will come later." ”
The implication was that he didn't blame Gu Fang at all, the corners of Zhu Yong's mouth froze, and he was stunned for a moment when he looked at Ji Lingyun and couldn't come back to his senses, but this time he realized that something was wrong.
The wedding dress was delivered to the room early yesterday morning, but the prince was still wearing yesterday's clothes, and the clothes were messy, and the hair crown was scattered, as if he had not slept all night, no matter how he looked at it, it was unusual.
Zhu Yong's mouth responded, but his body had no intention of moving at all, but instead looked straight into the room with a pair of eyes, eager to lean his head over to see clearly.
Ji Lingyun's face sank, and before he could speak, a crying voice came from the room and called, "Master......"
Zhu Yong suddenly remembered that Liu Xing'er had been resting in the room for the cold in the past few days, and she had been living in Yinfeng Xuan as a personal girl, so in fact, the two of them had been in the same room these days, could it be that it had already ......
Thinking of this, Zhu Yong's spirit was shocked, and without waiting for Ji Lingyun to urge again, he ran as fast as the wind under his feet.
Ji Lingyun rubbed his eyebrows with a headache again, and when he returned to the room, Liu Xing'er, who was soaking in the bathtub behind the screen, had already shivered and changed her clothes and came out, and when she saw Ji Lingyun, she knelt in front of him in shame.
"Slave maid, slave maid somehow, slave maid...... I don't know the shame, and even the master is also affected......"
At this point, there was only an uncontrollable cry, Ji Lingyun's face was cold but there was no reproach, and when she heard it, she said: "It's not your fault, it's that someone drugged the bowl of white fungus soup you ate." It was supposed to be for me, but it was my fault that I let you suffer for no reason. ”
Liu Xing'er was aggrieved and ashamed, she was already crying until she was sobbing and couldn't speak, so she could only shake her head incessantly. Ji Lingyun continued: "Now that the medicinal properties have been resolved, I have not made a public announcement about this matter, and I will never let others know that it is bad for your reputation." You can go back to your room and sleep in peace, and when you wake up, everything will be the same, as if this has never happened. ”
Liu Xing'er didn't have the last trace of expectation in her heart, she stumbled out, and finally entered her room and sat on the ground with her back to the door.
She cried so sadly, tears rained down, when she was really made of water, she could still cry after crying like this all night.
Liu Xinger not only wronged herself for this unwarranted disaster, but also cried the unspeakable sadness and frustration in her heart.
Yesterday, she drank the bowl of white fungus soup and felt irritated and uncomfortable. At first, she was barely suppressed, but soon waves of heat hit her, she couldn't resist, her face was red, her ears were red, and her body was so weak that she could barely stand.
When Ji Lingyun came over, she fell into his arms as soon as her body became weak, and the strange feeling made her gradually a little conscious, and she did many shameless things, which made her ashamed and embarrassed, but also had some secret expectations.
But when Liu Xing'er came back to her senses, she found that she had soaked her clothes in a bathtub, which was full of cold water to the bone, but it couldn't compete with the dryness of her body.
She looked at her master's handsome face, and thought of the princess who was about to start, and a bold thought flashed through her mind. She bit her lip and pretended to be delirious and pressed her wet body to it.
Then Ji Lingyun just stiffened, and then withdrew without hesitation, and then went around the screen and never took a step closer.
When the heat wave hit, Liu Xinger couldn't help but let out bursts of light gasps and low sobs. She called the name over and over again in her heart, and looked at the figure through the screen with a confused gaze, but he remained still.
He tortured her all night, and it was not until she was exhausted that she felt the irritation subside. But Liu Xing'er's tears still couldn't stop falling, and even she didn't know why she was so sad.
The morning glow shone in the sky, and the brilliant glow shone into the house through the window lattice, Liu Xing'er felt that the light was particularly dazzling, and strings of tears fell.
Last night has passed, and today is the wedding day of the master. She knew that she didn't have a chance anymore, if her master had the slightest affection for herself, she wouldn't have been like this last night, maybe she really had to die.
Ji Lingyun is naturally different from ordinary people to Liu Xing'er, a girl who has taken care of herself since she was a child, if she was wronged like this on weekdays, Ji Lingyun would definitely want to coax her, but now he doesn't have the mind and time.
Ji Lingyun washed up and changed into wedding clothes, and he was the dog-like handsome son again, full of ambition to lead the mighty wedding team, and rushed to marry his princess at the auspicious time.
Beating gongs and drums all the way, the joy shook the sky, attracting half of the people in the capital to stop and watch, and just like that, they beat and beat all the way around half of the capital to the Bai family.
Ji Lingyun dismounted neatly, the gate of the Bai family was closed, and Bai Zonglin and the Qi family were already waiting at the door with a group of family members. Although this is a son-in-law, no one dares to treat him as a junior.
Generally, there should be a custom of "blocking the door" here, which means that the bride's brother asks questions to test the groom, and he needs to answer before he can enter the door and marry the bride. The only male heir of the Bai family is Bai Boren, who is now waiting at the gate of Qiufan Courtyard, and only a few cousins of the Qi family have to go into battle at the gate.
The juniors of the Qi family are now of age, and they have been thrown everywhere by their fathers and uncles to experience, but the ancestors of the Qi family have never produced a literati in the last three generations. At this moment, a group of young men, you look at me, I look at you, they are all a little dumbfounded.
In the end, Qi Shuheng gritted his teeth and said, "Today, we don't fight for literature, let's compete." If His Royal Highness King An can go through three tricks from me, he will pass the test, and you will be able to marry Cousin Yanran smoothly. ”
Qi Shuheng held his breath in his heart, wanting to make Ji Lingyun suffer, so that he would be jealous and dare not be good to his cousin Yanran. But I don't dare to be too presumptuous, after all, today is the big day for Yanran's cousin, and if the groom is injured, it won't make it difficult for Yanran's cousin.
Thinking so in his heart, his gaze at Ji Lingyun became more and more unkind. And Ji Lingyun just looked at him and raised his eyebrows slightly, and then happily agreed: "It's okay." ”
Bai Zonglin was a little unhappy on the side, but he was also afraid that the kid of the Qi family would not be serious, and if he hurt His Royal Highness King An, how could it be good. Before he could say anything, he saw Qi Shuheng put on a solid starting gesture and said to Ji Lingyun: "Come on." ”
The Qi family brothers beside him saw that he was real, and they secretly gave him a look, Qi Shuhengquan couldn't see it, and his eyes were staring at Ji Lingyun.
However, even if he was engrossed, he couldn't see exactly when Ji Lingyun made the move, and when he came back to his senses, the punch was already close at hand. Qi Shuheng had to turn around, his arms staggered to protect his chest.
When he got closer, Ji Lingyun turned his fist into a palm, but Qi Shuheng, whose strength was still shocking, couldn't help but take a few steps back, and was stopped by someone before he could stop. Everyone was shocked, so they heard Ji Lingyun say calmly: "Accept." ”
Now everyone knows in their hearts, it seems that there are rumors and questions, and it is said that His Royal Highness King An, who can only attract bees and butterflies, still has such good skills, which is really unfathomable.
The children of the Qi family were even more surprised, you must know that Qi Shuheng's skills are already the best among the juniors of the Qi family, but they were defeated by Ji Lingyun's move, and they all looked at him with admiration.
The surrounding people were even more lively, clapping and applauding.
Qi Shuheng's face turned red, but he was not a person who didn't know what to do, he knew that Ji Lingyun had already shown mercy to him, so he immediately hugged his fists and said: "Don't dare to be, the prince is so skilled, I admire it." ”
Ji Lingyun was not shocked by the humiliation on his face, but in fact, he was very happy in his heart. At the beginning, he had no choice but to turn into a cat body and could only give him a claw, but now that he has recovered his body, Qi Shuheng has sent it to the door himself, and he will naturally not let go of this opportunity.
Bai Zonglin hurriedly ordered someone to open the door, and Ji Lingyun successfully entered the gate of the Bai family, leaving a heartbroken young man behind.
Entering the gate of the Bai family, Ji Lingyun went straight to the long-lost Qiu Fan Courtyard without being guided. This time, there was no longer a huge momentum in front of the door, only Bai Boren stood at the door alone, and when he saw Ji Lingyun, he bowed leisurely and said, "His Royal Highness King An, I've been waiting for a long time." ”
