The streets of Xiangjiazhai were full of crowded people, and the already narrow road was blocked and impassable.

"Borrowed, borrowed, let one, let one let ......"

"Oops, don't squeeze, don't squeeze ......"

Everyone scrambled like this, it turned out that they all wanted to look at the big red sedan chair passing by in the middle of the road and see the beauty of the bride.

Today, the eighth day of the third month, is the day when Xiang Wanqing, a girl from Xiangjiazhai, gets married, which is a great joy in life, but at this time, Xiang Wanqing, who is sitting in a sedan chair, has no love.

It turned out that this marriage was not what she wanted, but a transaction.

Xiang Wanqing's father lost a lot of money in business, and it was Mrs. Huo in Xile Town who paid off the arrears for him, and Mrs. Huo had a condition, that is, to let Xiang Wanqing marry the second young master of her family as a daughter-in-law, and Xiang's father reluctantly agreed.

There were only three days from the Huo family's notification of the marriage to the date of marriage, and Xiang Wanqing had never even seen the second young master of the Huo family, let alone understood it, so she was resolutely against it.

She thought about going on a hunger strike and tried to escape from marriage, but the results ended in failure, and in the end, she was frightened by her father's death, and had no choice but to sacrifice for the family to marry the Huo family.

And at this moment, listening to the bustle outside the sedan chair, which was comparable to a temple fair, Xiang Wanqing was disturbed, and she could only pray silently in her heart: "I hope God is not too cruel to me, and I hope that the situation of the second young master of the Huo family is not too bad!" ”

Xile Town is ten kilometers away from Xiangjiazhai, so it took more than an hour for the family to arrive at Huo's house.

At this time, the gate of the Huo family was also crowded with people, and it was very lively, and it seemed that almost the people of the entire town had gathered over.

But what is puzzling is that there is no groom official outside the gate of the Huo family, and only Uncle Li, the old housekeeper of the Huo family, is greeting alone.

"Everyone has worked hard all the way, rest your feet first, rest your feet......" Uncle Li said as he took out a red envelope and handed it to the bride and the guys who took the lead in the family sending process.

Although Xi Niang received a big red envelope, she still didn't "buy it", and only heard her complain to Uncle Li:

"Since ancient times, there is an auspicious time for the sedan chair, an auspicious time for the sedan chair, an auspicious time for receiving relatives, and an auspicious time for worshipping the church.

"Look at what you say, how can it be? You can rest assured, our Huo family will never go out on this kind of errand, the groom will come out immediately, please wait patiently for a while, don't be impatient......" Uncle Li took out some red envelopes and sent them to the relatives who sent them home, so as to delay time.

Here, Uncle Li is trying his best to deal with the family of the bride and the new daughter-in-law, and across the door, the Huo family's mansion at this time is already in chaos.

"Old lady, old lady, it's not good, it's not good, the second young master is ...... He ...... "Xinming, a guy from the Huo family, ran to the Huo family's ancestral hall while shouting out of breath.

In the ancestral hall located in the west corner of the Huo Mansion, Mrs. Huo is leading the daughters of the Huo family to worship their ancestors, which is much quieter than the busy and noisy other places in the Huo Mansion.

I saw that Mrs. Huo was pious and sacred, as if she was in a no-man's land, she only had ancestors and Bodhisattvas in her eyes, her eyes sometimes closed and sometimes opened, her mouth was full of words, and after kneeling and bowing to the ancestors and Bodhisattvas, she inserted the incense into the incense burner.

The others followed her and completed the movements one by one.

Xin Ming was already standing at the door of the ancestral hall, but when he saw this situation, he was so frightened that he didn't dare to say anything anymore.

Old Madam Huo glanced at him, looking not angry but threatening, and said, "Look at your startled appearance, what happened?" What happened to the second young master? Don't say it yet. ”

"Second Young Master, he...... He...... He was gone...... "Xinming" plopped and knelt down, his head lowered, not daring to raise it.

Unexpectedly, Old Madam Huo did not show an expression of surprise and surprise, let alone any panic, as if she had already known that this would happen, and after thinking for a moment, she asked, "When did it happen?" ”

"It's ...... A quarter of an hour ago...... "Xin Ming replied.

Aunt Mei's eyes flashed with something, and she didn't speak, she was the only concubine of the late Master Huo, and she was usually quiet and silent.

But I heard the eldest grandmother Ning Jinxiu say: "Yujin is also true, why is it missing at this juncture?" How can you get married, how to visit the church? ”

But Mrs. Huo was full of calmness, she slowly paced to the door of the ancestral hall, looked up at the sky, it was very good just now, but now it has become a little gloomy, and the dark clouds are gathering in the distance, should it rain? She thought to herself.

After sighing slightly, she said in a steady tone: "Send a few people to find it, be sure to find it before dark, and besides, the wedding will go according to the original plan." ”

"Yes, old lady." Xinming was ordered to go out.

"Mom, I'm afraid this is not appropriate, right? The rules of our town...... If you find someone to worship on your behalf, then you have to inform the woman in advance, and then talk about Yujue...... Not necessarily, right? ”

"There's nothing wrong with it, the rules are dead, people are alive, things are urgent, I can't care so much, go back and wait for the bride to enter the door, I will explain it to her." Old Madam Huo walked out as she spoke: "As for Yujue, he refuses?" You have to be willing too. ”

Aunt Mei was still expressionless, and Ning Jinxiu pursed the corners of her mouth and smiled proudly, it seems that the status of this new young grandmother is not very good, she thought.

In the meeting hall of the Huo family, the men in the Huo family's family were all present except for Huo Yujin.

The third young master, Huo Yujue, stood up angrily: "What? Let me take the place of the second brother? Isn't this a top bag deception? No, absolutely not! ”

Everyone tried to persuade them: "How can this be a deception? Your second brother is ...... Isn't that no way? ”

In fact, because of the special situation of the second young master Huo Yujin, Mrs. Huo had already explained to everyone in the family in advance, in case something went wrong with Yujin on the wedding day, then let Yujue take over the church on his behalf, which was planned in advance, but Huo Yujue thought it was inappropriate, and he thought it was unfair to the woman.

"However, the second brother and other ...... It's different, he's very obedient...... Very well-behaved, I believe there will be no chaos, you better hurry up and find the second brother, don't make bad ideas here. Huo Yujue refused again.

"The problem is that I can't find it everywhere! If I find it, will I beg you? ”

"It's just, it's not a sudden, expedient measure."

The Ninth Taigong, who has the largest rank and the highest prestige in the clan, also spoke: "Hmm...... Since ancient times, there have been precedents for younger brothers to visit the church, boy, you have to be obedient, help your second brother once. ”

Everyone, you say everything I say, and what you say is reasonable, more importantly, Yujue has always been close to the second brother, although he has not been at home for so many years, but he has always been thinking about him in his heart, and he has relented at this time.

"That's it, it's not easy for the second brother to marry a second relative, I don't want any changes in his wedding, I hope everything can go smoothly." He finally relented.
