Chapter 11 Tanabata

In recent days, in Lin'an City, the most talked about by the people after tea and dinner is the marriage of the daughter of Prince Kang, the lord of Ankang, and the six princes of Daqi.

Originally, due to rumors, Su Li was notorious in Southern Chu. Many people were angry about the county lord of Ankang, and they all thought that Su Li was not worthy of her at all.

However, as Su Li's song on the shore of West Lake spread, it completely made all the people who spread rumors shut their mouths. It's just that there are still some people who don't think that this poem is his own experience, and maybe he borrowed it from somewhere and plagiarized it.

Su Li laughed at these gossips about him and didn't care about it. At this time, he was reclining on a rocking chair in the shade of the trees in the courtyard, comfortably nibbling on the cold melon frozen by the well water. In July, the heat is unbearable, and this thing is the best way to cool off.

"Childe, the wedding is going to be in a few days, but you are not in a hurry at all."

Xiaoluo took out a face towel and wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead, and said to Su Li, but there was some complaint in his tone. As for why complain? Su Li was reclining, but he was sitting upright, Su Li was eating cold melon, but he was fanning him with a pu fan.

"The wedding date has been set, and I have Prince Kang's mansion to take care of it, and I have nothing to do, so what's the hurry?"

"Hey."

"What's more, such a leisurely time, I am afraid that you and I will never be blessed again."

Su Li sighed softly and said to Xiaoluo a little helplessly.

"Uh, Childe, why is that?"

Xiaoluo asked with some surprise, what does it mean to be no longer blessed? Why is it so horrible?

"Why do you think Prince Kang can agree to live here after my marriage to the Lord of Ankang?"

This courtyard was ordered by Su Li to be set up after he came out of Prince Kang's mansion that day. The courtyard with three entrances and three exits is not very luxurious, but it is better than quiet.

"Could it be that Childe agreed to what conditions he had?"

Xiaoluo asked suspiciously, a little unclear.

"Well, you'll find out in a little while."

Su Li was a little mysterious, and did not say what conditions he had agreed to Prince Kang.

"I ......"

Xiaoluo was speechless.

On the seventh day of the seventh lunar month, today's Lin'an City is completely wrapped in red makeup, like a sea of red.

Qixi Festival, this traditional festival symbolizes romantic love. Because the county lord of Ankang in Southern Chu and the six princes of Daqi got married today, it is even more lively. Young men and women are racing to take to the streets, looking forward to it.

The backyard of Prince Kang's mansion, the main incense pavilion of Ankang County.

At this time, in the incense pavilion, there was an unusually busy scene. Several little maids are dressing up the lord of Ankang in front of the bronze mirror. On the hanger, a bright red crown with gold thread is particularly conspicuous.

"Well-being."

A middle-aged woman with a very noble temperament walked into the incense pavilion with lotus steps, and her eyes called her lovingly.

"I've seen the princess."

The little spleen in the cabinet saw that it was Princess Kang who came in, and hurriedly greeted her.

"Mother."

Lord Ankang was about to get up and salute, but Princess Kang, who came over in a hurry, gently pressed her shoulder.

"You are sitting and dressing up, and the six princes will come to greet you in a while, you can't get to the auspicious time, and you haven't dressed up properly."

"You go ahead and hold on."

Princess Kang sat down lightly beside the county lord of Ankang, and commanded sharply to the little spleen in the pavilion.

"Yes."

They all responded, and the little spleens began to get busy again.

"Hey, before you know it, you've reached the age of getting married."

"It's going too fast."

Princess Kang sighed a little, in her eyes, the lord of Ankang was still a child, but in the blink of an eye, she was already about to get married. Although it is still in Jinling City, and it is only a few streets away from the palace, she is still a little reluctant in her heart.

"Mother."

"Your well-being is still your well-being."

"Ankang will come back to see you often."

Princess Kang didn't say that it was okay, but after she said this, the tears of the county lord of Ankang fell instantly.

"Don't cry, don't cry."

"Look at you, you're crying with all your makeup."

"Today is your big day, what are you crying about?"

Princess Kang hurriedly persuaded that if this makeup was crying, and then reapplying makeup, it would take a lot of time.

If you miss the auspicious time, you won't be perfect.

"It's coming, it's coming."

A team of festive honor guards came slowly, and Su Li sat on the horse in a red wedding robe, handsome and extraordinary. Behind him was the red luxury of the county lord of Ankang.

Behind them, there was a group of heroic cavalry in black armor and black face. It's just that they all have a big red cloak on their bodies, which makes the sense of slaughter a little weaker. This cavalry is the famous vanguard black battalion.

Today's wedding of the lord of Ankang, Prince Kang's mansion has made a lot of effort. The shops along the street along the road are all dressed up with colorful flags and red silk covering their faces. The happy money distributed along the way was not rejected by those who came, and those who saw it had a share, and thousands of gold were sprinkled along the way.

"This wedding gift is really magnificent."

"The six princes of this Great Qi are also handsome and extraordinary."

On both sides of the street, the people who joined in the excitement began to talk about it. This grand wedding is really a rare sight in several years.

The young women on the street were all envious. If they could have such a grand wedding when they got married, they would have nothing else to ask for in this life.

The wedding procession slowly passed down the street, and the grand wedding was almost over, but the excitement on the street had not dispersed.

Today is still the Qixi Festival, and the young women still have to thread needles and beg, and this excitement is just the beginning.

At night, in the city of Lin'an, thousands of lights are lit.

At the end of the day's wedding process, Su Li was exhausted, but he still had one last thing to complete, and that was to tie the knot.

Separated from Su Li's courtyard by a wall, in the boudoir, a girl who was shy of flowers in the moon also wore a big red shirt. At this time, she wept slightly and stood in front of the window.

"Miss, why do you say you're doing this?"

A pretty maid stepped forward, took out a silk handkerchief, and handed it to the weeping girl.

"How can you understand?"

The girl shook her head slightly, not explaining much, her cheeks still with tears on her cheeks.

"Xiang'er doesn't understand."

"But Xiang'er didn't want Miss to be sad and sad, so she washed her face with tears."

"Miss, you know, he's married."

"What's the point of you doing that?"

The little maid knew who was thinking in the young lady's heart. From the moment the young lady met that person, she gradually liked him until she liked him so much that she couldn't help herself. But now?

"Go down, do as I was told."

"Tonight, I wish him one last time."

The girl did not answer the little maid's words, and she could not answer either. He is already married, and she herself does not know whether it makes sense for her to do all this again.

"Yes, Xiang'er will go down."

Xiang'er didn't continue to persuade her, she understood her young lady's temper, and she was a little too stubborn. Xiang'er had no choice but to retreat.

"Boom, boom."

One after another, the sound of whistling came from all corners of Lin'an City, making the men and women on the street stunned.

"Wow, that's beautiful!"

The brilliant fireworks burst into the night sky one after another, and the colorful light bloomed brilliantly, causing everyone who saw such a scene to begin to cheer.

"Su Li, I wish you a hundred years of happiness."

The girl looked at the fireworks that flashed in the night sky and wept silently.

Xiang'er, the maid outside the door, looked at the sad and lonely young lady standing at the window, and was very distressed.

In her heart, she didn't understand, Lin Chengcheng, as the eldest lady of the Lin family's business, who was so rich, why did she like it so humble?

"This negative man, white-eyed wolf."

In her heart, she cursed secretly.

Su Li, who was in the cave room separated by a wall, suddenly sneezed.

"Husband, what's wrong with you?"

"But you're catching a cold?"

The county lord of Ankang, who was dressed in a red wedding dress, stepped forward and asked with a little concern.

"Nothing."

Su Li waved his hand lightly, signaling that he was okay.

"Strange, why are there so many fireworks in the city today?"

"But it's really beautiful!"

Sun Xiyue looked at the flowing colors in the night sky and admired happily.

"Fireworks are beautiful, but they are fleeting."

Su Li said such a sentence a little out of place, but it caused Sun Xiyue to roll her eyes.

In the Southern Chu Palace, the Imperial Garden, Emperor Wen of Chu, dressed in a dragon robe, stared blankly at the night sky.

He was also a little curious at this time, who was so generous and set off fireworks throughout the city.

"Holy Lord, did the old slave send someone to check?"

An eagle-eyed old man following him bowed slightly and asked him.

"No need, let him go."

"Today's Chinese Valentine's Day, the people are happy and happy."

"What is the progress of the one I told you before?"

Emperor Chu Wen waved his hand, not too much about who did this firework, but in his heart, he was more concerned about that big thing.

"It's almost done."

The old man replied, without any expression on his face, and the haze was incomparable.

"That's good."

The corners of Emperor Chu's mouth curled slightly, obviously very satisfied.

Today, the city is full of red makeup, like blood.
