"That's not a good idea...... When has my Feng family's daughter been humiliated like this! It's just that he Wei Xingzhen doesn't have a family background, and now the time to pick up relatives is almost over, and others are still delayed in the palace and can't get out. Don't get married! Our Yan'er is not married! ”

In Feng Yan's courtyard, the Li family was trembling with anger, and Feng's father's face was not very good-looking.

"Didn't my aunt say it just now, this, no one expected that the ministers would go to kneel at the palace gate last night." Father Feng's throat moved, and he still defended in a low voice, "Even if it's late, it's excusable, after all, the matter of the Heavenly Family, he can't resist and disobey the order......

"Then postpone the wedding, isn't tomorrow the auspicious time? This is Yan'er's first marriage, neither inviting guests nor setting up a table, even if it is temporarily rescheduled, what does it matter, how many people can know? He Wei Xingzhen sent a few subordinates to take them to his mansion? Who does he think he is, and does he still have us elders in his eyes! ”

Feng Xiaoqi held Li's arm a little helplessly, "Mother...... Why don't you go into the house first, and we'll sit down and talk about something, my sister is still upstairs—"

"Mother."

Feng Yan didn't know when she was already standing at the door of the house.

The sky is getting whiter, and Feng Yan, who is dressed in the morning light, is incredibly beautiful.

When Li saw his daughter, he felt infinitely sad, and immediately stepped forward to hold his daughter's hand. She was excited for a while, and said some angry words incoherently, and Father Feng on the side interrupted from time to time to explain a sentence or two.

Feng Yan listened to it for a long time, and finally understood-it turned out that the people who picked up relatives from the Wei Mansion had already come to the door of the Feng Mansion, but because last night Xue Taiwei and Wu Sikong led the ministers to kneel at the palace gate, this matter made Wei Xingzhen also delay in the palace, but I am afraid that he will not be able to come over for a while.

"My mother has been in this world for more than ten years than you, and I have seen too many of this kind of things." Li Shi said with red eyes, "These men from poor families and noble wives have always been like this, he has neglected you so much before you got married, and if you really marry the Wei Mansion, you may be able to sprinkle all the wretched qi you have suffered over the years in the future." ”

Li Shi was very distressed, "You are so soft...... What will I do then? ”

Father Feng glanced at his wife, "...... When the time comes, don't bring someone to demolish his Wei Mansion, and he will burn high incense. ”

Li glared at her husband, "What words! ”

"But I don't quite understand," Feng Yan raised her hand lightly, interrupting the bickering between her parents, "The emperor went to the observatory today, how could he delay Lord Wei's trip?" ”

"Here's what happened—"

"Wait a minute," Feng Xiaoqi raised his hand and looked at his sister and father, "What's ...... Measuring table, huh? ”

"The measuring platform is a huge stone platform, on the peak of the main peak of Daizong Mountain in the east of the city." Feng Yan said softly, "There is an eight-foot high pole standing in the center of the stone platform, and every year at noon on the summer and winter solstices, the adults of Si Tiantai will go there to measure the sun and shadow. The shadow of the sun is the shortest on the summer solstice, one foot four or five inches, and the longest shadow on the winter solstice, one foot and two or three feet. ”

"Oh......" Feng Xiaoqi nodded, "Test this...... What's the use? ”

Father Feng brushed his beard, "It's very useful." A year ago, the emperor ordered to move the capital of my Great Zhou from Chang'an to Luoyang, because he accepted Wei Xingzhen's book - 'The next year, Luodu has no shadow, it is the place in the middle of the world, and the Son of Heaven should guard the middle and be right'. ”

Feng Xiaoqi was puzzled, "...... But didn't my sister just say that in previous years, when Luoyang was on the summer solstice, the shortest day shadow was also one foot four or five? Why can that Lord Wei assert that there will be no sun shadow at noon on the summer solstice this year? ”

"How do I know this, I haven't done Si Tiantai's errands," Father Feng spread his hands, "Anyway, today is the summer solstice, whether it is shadowless, you will know after noon." ”

Feng Xiaoqi thought thoughtfully, "Such a big thing...... Why did I never hear from the gentlemen when I was in Taixue? ”

"Si Tiantai's divination of disasters should be secret, the emperor had an order at the beginning of his accession to the throne, 'The officials of the supervision department are not allowed to communicate with the court officials, and the imperial historian is entrusted to visit', so these things, I also listened to them in my spare time, and you masters who are too learned will not talk about it......"

When Father Feng said this, he suddenly remembered something and looked at Feng Xiaoqi, "You go to the school later, don't tell these words to your classmates, if you are reported and say that our family chews the root of the tongue of the rooftop, it will inevitably cause some trouble." ”

"No, no, I'm strict!" Feng Xiaoqi gave a thumbs up on the spot, "Don't say anything!" ”

"What are you afraid of," Li glanced at her husband, "our family is different." ”

Father Feng looked at Feng Yan again, "Originally, today's saint wanted to go to Daizong Mountain alone to worship the heavens and worship the ancestors, but last night Xue Taiwei and Wu Sikong went to kneel at the palace gate, begging the saint to lower the specifications of this sacrifice, and not to listen to the so-called 'Luodu without a shadow' slander - after all, there has never been a 'shadowless' thing in Luoyang's imaging platform for a hundred years, and rashly holding a sacrifice in the name of 'the middle of the world' may disobey the heavens and cause trouble."

"Right now, Wei Xingzhen is delayed in the palace, it should be because of the confrontation with the courtiers." Father Feng whispered.

"I see," Feng Yan lowered her eyes, "In case there is still a shadow of the sun at noon today, will Lord Wei ......?"

"It's hard to say." Father Feng glanced at his wife and coughed lightly, "But even if something happens, it's nothing, Wei Xingzhen is from a poor family, no matter how angry the emperor is, it is impossible for him to implicate us, if he really miscalculates, maybe he will directly cut his official and let him get into trouble." ”

Lee: "...... Bah. ”

"What did my aunt say?" Feng Yan asked again.

"Your aunt's intention is to go to the Wei Mansion according to the hour. But I discussed it with your mother, and in the end, you still have to take it yourself," Father Feng looked at his daughter, "What does Yan'er think?" ”

Li's eyes also looked at Feng Yan, she held her daughter's hand, and said bitterly, "Yan'er, my mother can see that you are somewhat satisfied with this person." But even so, we can postpone the wedding date until tomorrow, and we can't follow this Wei Xingzhen's meaning in everything.

"This Wei Xingzhen looks like a fierce horse, it's not easy to tame - it's good for you to take advantage of this moment to scare his majesty first."

Feng Yan listened to her parents' words, and seemed to be a little distracted for a while, she looked at the gradually brighter sky and morning glow outside the door, got up and walked slowly to the door.

"Yan'er," Father Feng called again, "Tell me, what do you think, it's not good to delay any longer." ”

Feng Yan tilted her head slightly.

"It's not common to greet relatives around the time of Yin, but Lord Wei still chose this time......" Feng Yan looked at the distant sky, a slight smile appeared on her face, "Maybe there are some considerations of Lord Wei himself." ”

"What does Sister mean...... Is it willing? Feng Xiaoqi asked.

"Hmm." Feng Yan turned her head and smiled, "Daddy and Xiao Qi don't have to worry about me. The hour is near, and we're ready to go. ”
