Chapter 119: Memory is Unreliable

Li Ran watched the wedding of Cao Xie's two families, and when Wang Ji got married, he was familiar with the way.

In the morning, I first went to find a place with Zhou E, drank tea and looked at the dowry, had a leisurely meal, and then went to Wang's house.

From the bottom to the top, the Wang family is calm and calm, and such a thing as marrying a daughter is probably not a big deal in the Wang family.

Li Ran followed her mother-in-law and went straight to the courtyard where Wang Ji lived.

Wang's courtyard was already crowded with little ladies from all over the family, chattering about how to block the door and beat her son-in-law.

Li Ran stood and looked at it for a while, it seemed that it was Cao Siniang and the eldest lady of the Yang family who started the first place, it seemed that Cao Siniang and the eldest lady of the Yang family were all out of order.

Li Ran laughed as she went up to the room.

According to this posture, this blockade is difficult and unbearable, and it can't be beaten.

The upper room was also full of people, and when they saw Li Ran coming in, several little ladies and daughters-in-law hurriedly stood up and let Li Ran in.

Wang Ji has already opened his face and is priding beads on his head one by one.

Xie Pei stood next to Wang Ji, and when he saw Li Ran, he hurriedly bent his knees to salute, and gave way to the side.

Li Ran kept smiling, kept bowing her knees to everyone, and returned Xie Pei's salute before standing in front of Wang Jiao's side, looking at Wang Jiao, who was sitting upright and only rolling her eyes at her.

The head was full of pearls, and a mother-in-law trotted in to report: The greeting team has arrived at the gate.

The little lady and daughter-in-law in the house all ran out.

When the welcoming procession arrived at the gate, the second-best groom in the capital was about to come in.

If you can't hit your son-in-law, you have to get closer, see the excitement clearly, and see the groom's children clearly.

Only Xie Pei and Li Ran were left in the house.

Li Ran looked at Xie Pei and smiled, "Why don't you go and take a look?" ”

"Then I'll go and take a look, you accompany the sixth sister."

Xie Pei was hesitating, and when he heard Li Ran's question, he smiled and walked out of the room briskly.

"She looks so sweet."

Li Ran looked at Xie Pei's back and said with a snort.

"Well, it is said that Cao Sanlang treats her very well, Mrs. Wu also treats her very well, and Mrs. Lin is also very good."

Wang Ji smiled, and used three in a row excellently.

"She's a blessed one, and so are you."

Li Ran looked at Wang Qi, who looked much brighter under the pearls and emeralds.

"Just now, Ah Pei said that it would be good if she got married a month later, so that when you get married, she can go and beat her son-in-law, I think so too."

Wang Ji listened to the bustle outside, and laughed low with Li Ran.

"Even if it's a month late, Ngapoi can't beat his son-in-law, right?" Li Ran laughed.

She is General Xie's cousin, can she go to the woman's house to beat her cousin?

"That is to say, General Xie is very angry, until now, I haven't heard anyone dare to boast, saying that he must fight that day, but he will definitely not dare."

Wang Ji laughed as he spoke.

"Sixth lady, it's almost at the gate of the courtyard." Xi Niang came back from the door and reminded with a smile.

"I'll take a look outside."

Li Ran raised his hand and pressed it on Wang Yan's shoulder, stood up and walked out.

Li Ran took refuge in the wing room, watching the courtyard door being pushed open, a group of little ladies holding hemp poles wrapped in silk and cotton, you push me, I squeeze you, hemp poles hit hemp poles.

Huo Wencan and several groomsmen were extremely cooperative, and in the middle of a group of little ladies who couldn't beat them at all, they sighed and begged for mercy.

The whole courtyard was filled with festivities and liveliness.

Wang Ji came out of the upper room and stepped on the red carpet.

Li Ran followed at the end of a large group of little ladies, listening to the loud shouts of the master of ceremonies from a distance in the festive and lively drum music, and heard the sound of copper coins falling outside like falling rain.

Li Ran came out quietly and, together with Zhou E, went back to the Chang'an Hou Mansion.

……………………

The Hejian County Royal Mansion is lively and noisy.

Princess Du trembled up and down with inexhaustible joy.

Her three daughters-in-law are all the girls she wants to marry back the most.

Especially this third daughter-in-law, since she was seven or eight years old, she has seen it in her eyes and heart, and she has thought about it now, and she has finally married back.

At this moment, this satisfaction and happiness made her feel very beautiful and pleasing to the eye.

Her life, even if it is bumpy from today onwards, can be regarded as a lifetime of satisfaction!

The guests gradually dispersed, Huo Wencan entered the new house with a bit of alcohol, was pushed and pulled by a bunch of brides, and became a knot gift, and then was waited by a group of girls to pack up and change clothes, and the house full of brides and girls withdrew like a tide.

In the dazzling celebration of the room, under the bright red dragon and phoenix candles, Huo Wencan squinted slightly, looking at Wang Qi, who had changed his clothes and was sitting on the edge of the bed, he was a little stunned.

Wang Ji looked up at Huo Wencan, saw him in a daze, frowned slightly, looked at him carefully and asked, "Drinking too much?" ”

"When do I drink too much?"

Huo Wencan subconsciously slammed back, was stunned, and muttered, "It's not much." ”

"Why don't you drink some decanting soup?" Wang Ji looked at Huo Wencan and asked tentatively.

"No, you don't." Huo Wencan frowned, "It's really annoying." ”

Wang Ji's eyebrows were raised, Huo Wencan met Wang Ji with a slightly dissatisfied gaze, and flashed when he touched it, but his back quickly straightened up, and his voice went up, revealing a tough voice:

"You know, I didn't have a crush on you! I'm going for the next best! ”

Wang Ji let out a low snort, squinted at Huo Wencan, and said slowly:

"The old lady of the Marquis Mansion of Chang'an once proposed to General Xie for me in front of the emperor, do you know this?"

"Huh?"

Huo Wencan was stunned, he really didn't know about this.

"Can General Xie take a fancy to you?"

"Look at what you said, if General Xie can take a fancy to me, can I still marry you?

I just didn't like it.

General Xie didn't take a fancy to me, and the fourth lady didn't take a fancy to you. ”

Wang Ji pointed his finger at Huo Wencan, and then pointed at himself, "We both don't want it." ”

Huo Wencan was stunned for a moment, glaring at Wang Qi, "Alas, you ......"

Before he finished speaking, he laughed loudly, let out a long sigh, took a few steps, and sat sideways beside Wang Ji, "You're right, this is also fate, right?" ”

"Not really!" Wang Ji laughed as he spoke.

"Compared with General Xie, I am quite far behind, and you are not much different from the fourth lady."

Huo Wencan reversed.

"Well, I don't dislike you." Wang Ji nodded.

"You really don't dislike me? You've been doing this to me since I was a kid. ”

Huo Wencan pulled the corners of his mouth hard, pulling out a look of disdain.

"I memorized a few sentences wrong, you are like this, I broke the problem crookedly, and you are like this, you have always been squinting at me."

"I think you're thinking too much.

If I look down on people because I don't study well, then how can I afford to look down on them in this world? ”

"Huh?" Huo Wencan was stunned for a moment, and snorted violently, "You are really arrogant!" ”

"That's it! My knowledge is as ...... as your manners."

"How dare you laugh at me!"

Wang Jian's words were interrupted by Huo Wencan's strange scream, Huo Wencan pounced, pressed Wang Jian, and sighed at Wang Jian's smiling face who was close at hand, "Although...... Well, I'm sure I'll be as good as I can for you. ”

"Well, so am I."

I don't know if it's because of Huo Wencan's words, or if he was too close to her, Wang Ji's face turned crimson.

……………………

The capital in September is still full of autumn, and after walking for a month, it is cold and frozen, and the road is becoming more and more difficult day by day.

Li Qingrou, who had just entered October and had been on the road for nearly a month, had been crying for half a month, fell ill.

Sun Daqing hurried overnight, entered a big city, and invited a few famous doctors in the city, all of whom said that there was no big problem, but his heart was weak and he suffered from the cold.

After resting for seven or eight days, when Li Qingrou is completely healed, this schedule will be a little tight.

When Sun Daqing arrived in Huo Shuai's army, he had to report for duty within a time limit.

Sun Daqing, according to the suggestion of the innkeeper, bought a double-decker car with cotton clamping in the local area, and added a car specially loaded with good charcoal, and when he set off again, the trip was very tense.

Li Qingrou was sick this time, lost a whole circle, and when she set off again, she didn't cry or make trouble, except for not talking, everything else made Sun Daqing feel too good to be better.

Hurry up and hurry, finally the day before the deadline, it was only more than a hundred miles away from the Guiyuan City where Huo Shuai was stationed.

"Arou, there are still a hundred miles of land, we can get there today, after entering the city, let's go to the eldest brother's house first, and it will be good to get home."

In the midst of the wind and snow, Sun Daqing knocked on the carriage board, although Li Qingrou never paid attention to him, he still felt very excited.

This way, it was too hard, and when I got to my sister's house, at least I could warm up, eat well, and sleep peacefully.

"Uncle, look ahead, it seems to be shouting at us?"

The guard who walked in the front waved his hand at Sun Daqing and shouted loudly.

In the wind and rain, I faintly heard someone shouting: "Is it the uncle of the Sun family of Uncle Zhongyong?" ”

"Yes!"

Sun Daqing first shouted at the top of his throat, and then rushed to the front of the car and slapped the carriage hard.

"Arou, the eldest brother has sent someone to pick us up! We're almost there! ”

The oncoming people and horses followed the wind and snow, came quickly, rushed to the front, and shouted at Sun Daqing, who waved his hand and shouted vigorously: "Daqing? ”

"Sister!"

Sun Daqing heard the voice, and after a moment of consternation, he was shocked again, revealing a thick cry.

"Is Arou alright? Heard sick? ”

The eldest grandmother of the Li family, Sun Daqing's eldest sister Sun Xiuniang has excellent equestrian skills, passed by Sun Daqing, patted him, and the horse's speed did not decrease, and rushed straight to the side of the cart.

The car door was pushed open from the inside, and Li Qingrou probed out, looking at Sun Xiuniang, who was riding on a horse, wearing a thick and long leather jacket, wrapped in a man and woman.

"Sister-in-law."

"Just open the slits, it's cold outside, why did you lose so much weight? You close the door, there are still a hundred miles to go, let's talk when we get home, close the door." ”

Sun Xiuniang didn't get off the horse, pulled her hand out of the leather hand, reached out and touched Li Qingrou, pulled the car door for her, and commanded repeatedly.

The convoy was much faster than just now, and just after noon, I saw the city of return in the snowstorm.

A team of more than a dozen people rushed out of the city gate to meet Sun Xiuniang and Sun Daqing.

"Big brother!" Sun Daqing shouted with a deep joy.

Li Qingrou heard Sun Daqing's big brother, and hurriedly pushed the car door, "Big brother!" ”

"Close the door! It's cold. Talk when you get home. ”

Li Qing'an and Sun Xiuniang shouted almost at the same time.

The guard who followed the car hurriedly reached out and closed the door.

"You go with me to Shuai Ya to report a place first, it just so happens that you will go out of the city early tomorrow morning to investigate, I will lead the team, you go with me."

Li Qingan watched the door of the carriage close, and turned his head to talk to Sun Daqing about business.

"Good!" Sun Daqing nodded in agreement without hesitation.

Before coming, his aunt, as well as the Chen family's wife, and Mrs. Zhang, all told him again and again that when he arrived in the army, he had to listen to his eldest brother and sister-in-law.

Sun Daqing followed Li Qing'an to Shuaiya, and Sun Xiuniang took Li Qingrou's car to the residence in Guiyuan City.

Like all northern towns, Guiyuan City was empty and wide, and everywhere was gray and white, and even the trees were covered with snow and ice, as if they had frozen to death.

Li Qing'an's residence is surrounded by a low earth wall around the empty courtyard, and all the cars and people have entered the courtyard, which only accounts for a small half.

Sun Xiuniang got off the horse, watched Li Qingrou come down, hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed the mink cloak on her body and wrapped it tightly, looked at the girl who followed closely and said, "You are also wrapped tightly and come down." Let's hurry into the house, it's very warm. ”

Sun Xiuniang half-dragged and half-hugged Li Qingrou, passed through the rough second door, and entered the upper room.

The room was as warm as spring, Li Qingrou sat on the hot kang, took the cold soup handed by the girl, and drank it with her head down.

"Daqing wrote to say that you are frozen, come, take off your socks, I will see if there are chilblains, if you have chilblains, you have to rub them quickly, otherwise you will have to be born every year, itchy and painful."

Sun Xiuniang, who was wrapped thicker than zongzi, took off her clothes layer by layer, took off a cotton skirt and a thin jacket, and took off her socks from next to Li Qingrou, holding her feet to look carefully.

"Sister-in-law."

Li Qingrou's nose was sour, and her stomach was full of grievances, as if it was not all her own grievances.

"It's a little frozen, but it's okay, just a little, let them rub it for you, rub it for a few days, and it's good to knead it thoroughly."

You can't do this shoe, Daqing is really, why don't you even know what kind of shoes to wear, alas, I wronged you. ”

Sun Xiuniang called an old adult woman over, rubbed Li Qingrou's frozen heels, picked up Li Qingrou's shoes and looked at them, and then twisted her clothes.

"I've been in the car, and I didn't ask for the shoes he bought on the road."

Li Qingrou explained in a low voice.

"If it's cold here, you can freeze to death for a while, and even if you get on and off the bus, you can freeze to death.

I heard that you are coming, and I will ...... with your eldest brother It's good that peace is here. ”

Sun Xiuniang muttered a few words, and suppressed the sadness and sadness that came up again.

From the letters of the second and third children, she and Li Qingan already knew.

The mother-in-law rubbed Li Qingrou's feet until they were hot, and a few small nodules could not be touched, so she put on socks and shoes.

There were a few neighing sounds outside.

Sun Xiuniang hurriedly stood up, "Your eldest brother and they are back, let's eat first, you love fish, there is a river on the edge of this city, let people go to dig ice early this morning, your eldest brother said, this fish is much better than the fish in the capital, you can taste it later." ”

Sun Xiuniang stretched out her hand to help Li Qingrou up, and while motioning for the little girl to take Li Qingrou out of the house, she picked up the fox fur jacket.

"You go through here, this house is all open, you don't need to go out, I'll go out and have a look."

Li Qingrou snorted, but followed behind Sun Xiuniang and walked out the door.

The little girl hurriedly grabbed Li Qingrou's long mink cloak and rushed up to wrap her.

When Li Qingrou walked out of the house, she saw Li Qingan and Sun Daqing talking, striding towards the main house.

Li Qingrou stared blankly at the two people who came over her, tall, short, fat and thin.

She couldn't tell which was her eldest brother and which was Sun Daqing!

In her impression, the eldest brother is so tall and heroic......

"How did you get out? Come inside, it's cold outside, you can't do this shoe. ”

Sun Xiuniang looked back and saw Li Qingrou and hurriedly pushed her back into the house.

Li Qingrou stood in the door, unable to react in a daze.

Her eldest brother, how can she be the same as Daqing, so much so that she can't tell who is who?
