Volume III-6 First Marriage (V) (II)
First Marriage (V) (II)
Zheng Qiang glanced at Liu Pei, didn't say much, turned around and walked out. Liu Pei hesitated for a moment, and hurriedly followed. But I'm torn in my heart. Is this going to Chuang Xi Tang? Yumen still has a bit of a status in the rivers and lakes, and it can also call the wind and rain in the south of the Yangtze River, which is really nothing in the capital. And the daughter said that not only the queen mother came, but also many ministers in the court, and several princes also came. Deputy Master Zheng's temper is more urgent, don't stab Lou Zi.
But when he arrived at the Tang family's old mansion, Liu Pei was not worried. As soon as they ran to the corner of the street, they saw the honor guard of the Queen Mother, together with the first and auxiliary ministers of the court, Lord Qi, Lord Zhuo, the right minister, and many high-ranking officials came, several adult princes in the palace and the underage Yiling, and rows of cars blocked the street at the entrance of the old mansion of the Tang family. The Queen Mother and the important ministers were here, and the forbidden army closed the roads on both sides, and foreign carriages and horses were not allowed to pass. Their horses couldn't get in, so they had to hand them over to their subordinates and let them lead the guards of the Tang family to settle down.
When he arrived at the door, he reported the name of Yumen, although the guards were stunned for a moment, but many of Tangmen's subordinates were from the rivers and lakes, so they naturally knew Yumen, so they didn't dare to make their own claims and reported to the eldest young master. Xintian was busy inside, and it was the time to salute, so he couldn't get out, so he sent Ding Bo, the chief housekeeper of the old mansion, to take them directly to the happy hall.
Liu Pei's heart rose again. Originally, I thought it would not be easy to break in, but the people of the Tang family were too polite, so they took people inside, and looked at the gloomy face and anxious pace of their deputy door master, what if there was anything wrong with this? He sweated all the way, and Ding Bo didn't feel strange when he saw that Deputy Master Zheng was walking anxiously, and thought that he was in a hurry to watch the ceremony. In the end, Yumen is the grandfather's family of the third young man.
A group of people hurriedly came to the door of the happy hall, but they heard a loud salute from Lord Qi, Zheng Qiang's footsteps froze, and he finished speaking in his heart. If you can say that your ancestors are against it and cancel the wedding before you salute, you have already worshiped heaven and earth, how can you still oppose it. And he came in a hurry just to fight for the old man. He stood on the ground dejectedly, and Ding Bo watched him intercede with some surprise, isn't this dare to congratulate? There are no gifts, no formal clothes, and a dusty person doesn't say anything, but he still has this expression. After all, his old man has experienced a lot of things, As soon as he frowned, he glanced at his subordinates around him, and several people immediately alerted. Zheng Qiang is also a capable person in Yumen, and of course he understands the changes in the aura around him. No matter what he thinks in his heart, Xinjie is the son of his younger sister, and he, as an uncle, can't give him a face. Immediately straightened his face and glanced at Liu Pei, Liu Pei was very insightful, and handed over a stack of red envelopes: "Everyone, we are in a hurry today, please make it convenient for you." ”
Zheng Qiang took out a stack of silver tickets from his arms, took a red envelope from Liu Pei's hand, wrapped it, and handed it to Ding Bo: "Zheng came in a hurry from Jiangnan, I didn't expect to catch up with this festive day today, and trouble the old housekeeper to give gifts to the newcomer for our Yumen." "Whether he likes this wedding or not, Yumen's face can't be lost.
When Ding Bo saw him like this, his face softened. Although the Tang family doesn't care about the silver ticket that looks like nearly 10,000 taels, but if people give face, the Tang family will give face: "Honored guests, please come here and drink a glass of wine." ”
Zheng Qiang surprised him: "Thank you, please forward it to the young master of my family on your behalf, Zheng Qiang wants to see the young master." ”
"Young master?" Dingbo frowned? He also guessed that this young master was referring to the third young master, but...
"This is Deputy Master Zheng, right?" Xintian happened to come: "Today is the day of my third brother's big day, I just sent the newcomer into the cave room, I'm afraid I don't have time to meet the deputy master." Although the third brother will come to toast everyone in a while, he doesn't want to have any stubble at the wedding, so he will solve it for him now.
"Tang Da Shao," Zheng Qiang hugged his fist at him: "The big head of my family sent me to see the young master." ”
"If you come to have a cup of wine, Tang welcomes, if there is something, then you can only wait for another day, who has the deputy master seen to deal with affairs on the wedding night?" He didn't want Lian'er to marry his third brother and suffer the slightest grievance, whoever messed up his brother's wedding with Lian'er today, he couldn't get along with anyone.
As he was talking, he saw Yifeng coming over and patting Xintian on the shoulder: "Xintian, what are you doing here?" The Queen Mother has just instructed you to take care of the banquet. I also said that there is no half-point spread pool today. Her old man's heart was very close to Miss Ning. Some of you are busy, and what are you doing here with idle people? ”
Xintian smiled slightly, Prince Feng is also a human spirit. If you don't have a low background, you are definitely not a simple person. Just a few words, I saw Zheng Qiang, who was about to move, open his mouth and closed it again.
A three-entry exquisite courtyard in the north of the city is located in a courtyard where medium-sized merchants are concentrated in Beijing. The courtyard is surrounded by various climbing vines, and the tall houses with gray tiles and white walls behind the high walls are simple and clear. A thin man walked into the innermost courtyard, entered the main house, took off his coat, sat at the table and drank tea, and flipped through a book of Da Zhou's "Jiangnan Rhyme", which was a variety of polls in Jiangnan compiled by Yan Boxiu, the head of the Yan family, and widely circulated qin songs, poems and brief origin stories. The woman who followed him into the house also went to the inner room to change her clothes, cleaned her hands, and came over to rub her shoulders and neck for him: "What do you think of today's harvest?" ”
The thin man's eyes did not leave the book: "I am only here for the old man." A smile tugged at his lips. The boy grew up, handsome.
The woman's hand paused, and she stood near the old mansion of the Tang family and watched for a long time, she was the queen mother and an important minister, and the master came only for the old man? ! Which one is the master's deceased? Queen Mother, Lord Qi? Or is it in the Tang Gate? Is it the groom? It can't be a bride, right?! She dared to ask: "It was rumored that today's bride was the daughter of the uncle of the Bai family, and her subordinates went to look at her from a distance, so she didn't feel like it." Later, she said that it was the female official Zhou who was next to the Queen Mother. The subordinates said, Huang Peng and they all said that the Bai family's uncle and his family were given by the king of Dongqing...
He didn't care what this woman thought, and he didn't want her to continue, he just said lightly: "Guard the Tianyin Pavilion for me." ”
This woman in her thirties is Yang Huihui, the proprietress of Tianyin Pavilion, who was taken in by her master when she was a teenager, and she only had the man in front of her in her eyes. But she can only be his subordinate forever, "subordinates will." ”
"You've got that red sleeve there, you have to keep an eye on her a little more."
"Does the master think there's anything wrong with her?"
"Just keep an eye on her, and let me know if there's anything out of the ordinary. Also, let your people act without conflict with Karamon and Aokisha. ”
"The subordinates know. Oh, by the way, Redsleeves has been spending a lot of time out and about lately. I don't know if there are other benefactors. She used to look down on no one except the third son of the Tang family. I don't know if these three sons married a lady, if she is looking for another way. ”
"Does the girl in the Tianyin Pavilion have anything to do with whether the guest marries or not?"
"Isn't the Red Sleeves special?!"
"It's because she's special that she wants you to stare at her. This red sleeve is not simple. She is close to Xinjie, not just a sister. He squinted slightly.
Yang Huihui was stunned, could it be that the master and Tang San Gongzi are very familiar? The movement of her hands also stopped due to distraction. The man snorted, and Yang Huihui hurriedly said, "The subordinates didn't give her any hints." ”
"Does she pay special attention to you? Or have you asked something? ”
Yang Huihui thought for a moment and shook her head.
"Keep an eye on it."
"My subordinates understand."
The woman's hand slowly kneaded the man all the way down her back. The man stopped talking, just flipped through the book in his hand. The woman pressed his back and stood against him, her hands like playing on a lute, her fingers tapping his veins deftly. Although his eyes are still on books, his body has changed. He still kept the book in his hand and didn't make any movements, which encouraged the woman.
He sighed softly, he seemed to be a little too indulgent all these years. At the beginning, he desperately wanted a freedom, and now he wants to be disciplined back then. After being free for too many years, he wanted to stop, but found that the dock had long been left behind him and dilapidated, and it was a boat against the current to go back, and there were many dangers. Marriage, perhaps, is a shackle, but it is also a serene bondage. After all these years, do you really regret it? He is not reconciled, his choice will not be wrong, what he wants is a leisure, a freedom, he doesn't want any burden, whether it is from the family or from his own small family, he doesn't want it.
Yang Huihui took the initiative to prostrate under him, although she used to be his personal girl, experienced a lot with him, and did a lot of things for him, but in his eyes, she was always just his subordinate, so in the past few years, he has been stationed in the capital to run Tianyin Pavilion. She longed to know more about him, to be closer to him, to see him. But he is only in the capital for a few days a year. When you come, you will do something, and when you are done, you will leave. Of course, when he came to the capital to live here, she waited for him, from the inside out. She hoped that he would occasionally think of her when he was busy elsewhere, and that he would be able to come to Beijing often to run errands.
He finally put down the book in his hand, intending to relax himself. A few days ago, when he was working in Gannan Road, he heard a report from his subordinates that the third son of the Tang Sect was about to get married, and the object of the marriage was Miss Bai Jiabiao, so he was very curious and wanted to see the child. He put aside other things and went all the way to Beijing, where he arrived the day before the wedding. This time he was running errands in Gannan Province, and suddenly found that someone was secretly watching him, and he and the people he brought out were very cautious. It wasn't until they entered the capital all the way that the other party didn't seem to follow. Tense on the road all the way, the guards who followed were also highly nervous. He had just heard the guards go to the women in the courtyard to relax. They are all healthy men, and he also has needs, Yang Huihui has been with him for more than ten years, although there is no novelty for a long time, but it is still very useful.
