After a day of noisy capital, it gradually returns to tranquility after nightfall.

It was a moonless night, and only a few scattered stars were emitting a dim light in the dark night sky.

On the long street paved with white jade in the capital, a team of relatives quietly walked through it. The send-off procession consisted of a simple red sedan chair, four sedan chair men, and a wedding bride. This combination is not only inconspicuous, but also a little shabby.

Dressed in a big red dress and with a red flower on her head, Xi Po walked at the front of the wedding procession. She carried a red lantern with a big word "forest" written on it, and the group walked forward quickly by the light of the candlelight, which was not too bright.

After crossing the long street, turn into a bluestone street, and walk to the end of the street, where the sedan chair stops in front of the general's mansion. The gate of the General's Mansion was closed, and it was pitch black in front of the door, and there was no shadow of a happy event at all.

Xi Po stepped forward and patted the closed red lacquer door vigorously, and after patting for a while, no one came out to answer the door. Xi Po increased the intensity and slapped again, shouting a few times towards the crack in the door while patting, but there was still no movement inside.

Xi Po has been sending her relatives for decades, and she has never encountered such a scene. She took two steps back and looked up at the plaque above her head, which read "General's Mansion", that's right! Could it be that there are other generals' mansions in this capital, and they are going the wrong way?

Xi Po and the four palanquin men looked at each other, and they had no idea for a while.

This marriage can be regarded as the strangest thing that Xi Po has ever seen in her life.

The two parties to this marriage are the daughters of merchants with a wealthy family on the one hand, and the generals with prominent status on the other. It stands to reason that the wedding should be held as luxuriously as possible, but in fact, when the bride gets married, there is no eight-person sedan chair, no noisy and festive gongs and drums, no ten-mile red makeup to accompany the marriage, only a few sedan chair bearers and a happy woman to marry; Not only that, before going out, the lord of the Lin family also told the wedding team to send the bride to the general's mansion only after it was dark, and try not to alarm others.

I thought the woman's side was abnormal enough, but it was even more strange to think of the man's side. The brides were all sent to the door, not only did the general groom not come out to kick the sedan door, but there was not even a wedding at the door.

After waiting in front of the general's mansion for a while, the person in the sedan chair asked in an impatient tone: "Xi Po, have you arrived?" ”

Xi Po hurriedly leaned over to the sedan chair and said, "Miss, it's here." But ......"

"But what?" The person in the sedan chair interrupted Xi Po's words impatiently.

"But......" Xi Po swallowed, "Will, the gate of the General's Mansion is closed, and there is no one in front of the door." ”

The people in the sedan car didn't seem to care at all, just let out an "oh". Then, a red figure flashed out of the sedan chair and rushed straight to the gate of the General's Mansion, slapping the door panel with his hands and feet, and slamming the door panel with a loud bang; While banging on the door, he also opened his voice and shouted: "Open the door!" Open the door! ”

The bride actually took off the hijab herself, jumped off the sedan chair and banged on the door and yelled very ungracefully, which made the Xi Po and the sedan chair drivers dumbfounded. Xi Po reacted quickly, she hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed the bride, and said in a panic: "My eldest lady! Go back to the sedan chair! ”

As he tugged, the closed door slowly opened. The thin old man with gray hair who opened the door was slightly stunned when he saw the scene in front of the door. But in a blink of an eye, he returned to normal, glanced at the people present, showed a faint smile, and said slowly, "Everyone, please come in." ”

The bride hurriedly stuffed the bride back into the sedan chair and motioned for several sedan chair drivers to get up the sedan chair. The group was about to go to the gate, but the old man stretched out his hand to stop them and said, "It's not here, everyone here, please." ”

The old man closed the door and led everyone into the general's mansion through the side door. Walking to a small courtyard, the old man took out the reward and gave it to everyone one by one and said, "Thank you, please go back." ”

The people took the bounty, thanked the old man, and then left the way they came. When Xi Po left, she couldn't help but look back at the sedan chair parked alone in the courtyard.

is obviously married to a wife, but he wants a sedan chair to enter the door from the side door in the dark, making it look like a concubine. No, according to the situation, it is not even as good as a concubine. Xi Po sighed secretly: It seems that this young lady of the Lin family will have a hard time in the future.

After sending off the bridal personnel, the old man summoned a strong mother and carried the bride to the new house. The mother put the bride on the new bed and sat down, and then hurried away.

And in the Yafang Garden of the General's Mansion, the master of the General's Mansion, the general Zhan Qi, after playing with the beauties in the room of the concubine Qiusha, you and me, Qingqing and me for most of the night, suddenly remembered that today was a good day for him to marry a wife.

Marrying the young lady of the Lin family is not his will. That day, Master Lin suddenly visited, nodded to him like a pug, and flattered him in every way, wanting the Lin and Zhan families to rebuild the old friendship and make a marriage contract.

Back then, Master Lin's snobbish and ruthless face, he still remembers it clearly; He didn't forget that his own mother was so angry that her illness worsened after learning how the Lin family was ruthless and ruthless and how she broke the marriage contract privately, and she didn't last long before leaving her husband and several children to return to heaven.

Just ask, how could he be willing to have anything to do with this snobbish businessman again? But the cunning and shrewd Old Man Lin seemed to have figured out the details of the General's Mansion a long time ago, and while he came to show favor to himself, he secretly asked someone to meet Old Man Zhan. Just when Zhan Qi was impatiently giving an eviction order to Master Lin, Old Man Zhan appeared at the right time.

Old man Zhan had a serious illness more than a year ago, and after he recovered, he often became confused. He may not necessarily remember what happened recently, but he will remember what happened many years ago; So, he remembered that the Lin family had a marriage contract with the Zhan family before, but he forgot the Lin family's ruin in marriage back then, and forgot that his wife was killed by the Lin family.

Master Lin shocked the great god of Old Man Zhan, and Zhan Qi, who has always been filial, had to follow his father's wishes and agree to marry the daughter of the Lin family.

However, although Zhan Qi was forced to marry Miss Lin under the pressure of his father, he despised the family surnamed Lin from the bottom of his heart, and he did not intend to treat the daughter of the unrighteous businessman well. Therefore, he did not give any dowry, did not send people to greet his relatives, and did not let the Lin family marry his daughter with great fanfare. As for the engagement period or something, it was all handled by the housekeeper Yang Bo, who didn't pay attention to it from beginning to end. If it weren't for Uncle Yang's reminder, he wouldn't have known that today was his wedding.

Holding the warm fragrance of nephrite jade, Qiu Sha gently stroked her silky hair, thinking of the eldest lady of the Lin family who was thrown away in the new house by herself, Zhan Qi's eyes flashed with a trace of cold light.

As if sensing Zhan Qi's distraction, Qiu Sha raised her head, looked at him with her charming green eyes, and whispered in a soft and beautiful voice: "Master, today is your great day, you stayed here and snubbed the new lady, isn't it okay?" Her voice sounded exotic, and although some of the words were not pronounced accurately, it had a different flavor in her ears.

Zhan Qi lowered his head and kissed Qiu Sha's smooth forehead, and said with a smile: "But I am reluctant to snub Qiu Sha." ”

Qiu Sha seemed to be embarrassed and said: "Master, Qiu Sha is afraid of being misunderstood by the master, thinking that Qiu Sha is making a hindrance from it, so that the means will leave you here." She twisted her waist like a water snake and leaned her soft body against Zhan Qi's body, "Master, you better go and see the new lady......"

Zhan Qi interrupted her and said with a smile, "You want to kick me out of here?" Don't even think about it. ”

After speaking, he turned over and pressed Qiu Sha's soft and boneless body to the soft brocade quilt, Qiu Sha seemed to be startled by his actions, and called softly, making a gesture to push the person in front of him away.

In the face of Qiu Sha's coquettish attitude of wanting to refuse and welcome, it would be a sin if he did not turn into a wolf at this moment.

The night passed slowly in the beautiful spring color of Avon Garden.

And in the new house without the bridegroom, there is a silence that can swallow people.

Du Xiaomeng sat on the bed in a regular manner for a while, and then became restless. The surroundings were too quiet, and she pressed for a while, and finally couldn't help but tear the hippa off her head. Through the flickering candlelight, I found that there was no festive decoration in this room, and even the most common and common wedding props in costume dramas, the dragon and phoenix candles, could not be seen, and what was lit on the table was an ordinary white candle.

If it weren't for the dowries piled up on the edge of the wall that were sent a few days in advance, Du Xiaomeng really thought that he had come to the wrong place.

Looking at the deserted "new house", Du Xiaomeng sneered. It seems that the general is going to give himself a dismount. However, at this level of majesty, for people like Du Xiaomeng, who have crossed over, it is not worth mentioning "pediatrics" at all.

Fortunately, it wasn't the young lady who got married, otherwise, the weak and timid young lady would definitely only have a crying nose now. Thinking of the young lady of the Lin family, Du Xiaomeng couldn't help but be a little worried, I don't know if Miss can elope with Xiao Gongzi smoothly? Miss, I have done everything I can to help you, and the road ahead will depend on you.

Du Xiaomeng secretly prayed for Miss Lin in her heart, and gradually, her thoughts drifted back to more than a month ago.

More than a month ago, Du Xiaomeng was still living a very chic single life in modern times; More than a month ago, Du Xiaomeng never thought that such a thing as "crossing" would happen to her; More than a month ago, Du Xiaomeng never thought that she would get married.

However, more than a month later, Du Xiaomeng has been forced to accept that he has crossed the truth, and forced himself to get used to the ancient life of no computer, no TV, no mobile phone, and no flush toilet; Not only that, but she also has to marry someone righteously and marry a strange man she has never met. These ridiculous things used to be never even dreamed of, but now they have happened to her again and again.
