23. The year of marriage was bumpy

The firecrackers outside the door crackled, and the sound of children laughing could be faintly heard.

"Today's young lady is married, the etiquette has to be done thoroughly, although our Meng family is in decline, but there is the glory of the ancestors in front of us, it can't be underestimated." The elder invited back by Mrs. Meng held a red candle in one hand and a bronze mirror in the other, and followed the people to the gate of Meng's mansion, and first walked towards the sedan chair.

The Gu family wanted some face, so they invited a bride to come over, and everyone only felt that she was kind at a glance, but if a sharp-eyed person took a closer look, they could see the elf calculation on her face.

"The bride can make us wait."

said this with a smile, Xi Niang is like stepping forward to welcome Meng Nanjun on the sedan chair, the Meng family is also sleek, and the smile in front of her is more kind, "The rules left by the ancestors are cumbersome, and not many people will do it step by step over the years, but the family background of the Gu family has to be meticulous everywhere." In addition, our ancestors of the Meng family are proficient in occult arts, and the search for sedan chairs must be comprehensive. ”

praised the Gu family, not to say good things about them, but to make them not come down in front of the people, so they could only follow their own wishes. As for mentioning the ancestor of the Meng family, it was completely to find a proper reason for his insistence on searching the sedan chair.

After all, Xi Niang is not a member of the Gu family, and her meal depends on a kissing mouth and fame, at this time, everyone is watching from the side, and the Meng family is not leaking a drop of words, and she can only let people go with a stiff smile.

So everyone saw half of the Meng family's elders getting into the sedan chair, and when they took a casual photo, they exclaimed in a low voice.

The secrets of this big family often arouse the curiosity of others the most, and the reaction of the Meng family's elders can be regarded as coincidentally poking at the point, and many people are close to find out. However, there were people from the Gu family outside, and they didn't dare to get too close.

No matter how magnificent the sedan chair is, it is only so big, and the Meng family members quickly searched it completely, and retired with a solemn face at this time. Soon there was a discussion in the crowd, and when Xi Niang saw that this was okay, she hurriedly stepped forward and asked with a smile: "Why does the old sister look like this?" ”

The Meng family pretended to be stunned for a moment, and then put one hand behind their backs, as if hiding the bulging mass in their sleeves.

But when she did this, the sleeves attracted more attention.

"Today is a day of great joy, where can there be anything bad?" The Meng family's elders laughed far-fetched, as if they were indeed hiding something for some decency.

This expression mixed with the surrounding discussions, made Xi Niang almost grit her teeth, but she still had to echo on her face: "What the old sister said is, on this big day, how can there be something bad that doesn't have long eyes?" ”

The explanation in and out of the words is nothing more than the lack of virtue that the Gu family can't do to put things in the sedan chair, so that the people around them don't want to speculate maliciously.

It's just that Xi Niang said this, she wanted to save some face for the Gu family, but she didn't expect that when she heard these words in the ears of those who had done something in the Gu family, they made their faces sink down.

"This sedan chair search is also finished, the old sister will let the bride go with us, otherwise it will be a sin to miss the hour?" Xi Niang also knew that she was afraid that she would not be able to say the person in front of her, so she hurriedly mentioned an auspicious time, trying to pick people up as soon as possible.

Naturally, the Meng family would not be embarrassed any more, so they nodded and turned around.

"Although I don't want the juniors in my family to marry in such a hurry, but since the time has come, I don't want to stay long, I just hope that the Gu family can treat each other well in the future, and it will not be in vain to waste this girl's affection."

As soon as these words came out, not to mention the strange faces of the Gu family, even Meng Nanjun twitched the corners of his mouth and almost refuted it. Fortunately, her face was covered under the Hipa, and no one noticed anything wrong.

"The Gu family is a big family, this is another marriage to an eldest daughter-in-law, where can I not treat it well? Children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, so don't worry about it. Xi Niang said persuasive words as always, but she didn't know that this happened to be the intention of the Meng family.

After all, the reason why she mentioned Meng Nanjun's affection for Dingnanhou in public was to let everyone know, so that even if Dingnanhou didn't come back, the people of the Gu family would have to think about their reputation if they wanted to move Meng Nanjun.

"Let's go." Madame Meng whispered this, and then ran her fingers around her neck.

Meng Nanjun only felt that there was a momentary sourness, and before she could ask anything, she was pushed to the front by Mrs. Meng, and the Meng family led her over, and the bride also opened the sedan curtain.

Just when everyone thought that the bride could finally enter the sedan chair, another voice suddenly interrupted and shouted "Slow".

This work has been done for half a lifetime, Xi Niang, what have you been doing for a long time, you have never encountered such a bad marriage, this wave of twists and turns can be described as very disturbing, but when he turned around and saw the appearance of the one who was born, he could only hold back the words in an instant

What did the second young master tell you to do Xi Niang resisted the urge to grit her teeth and asked with a smile

The man he called the Second Young Master walked forward slowly, it was Gu Min who was born from the only side room of the Gu family.

"Our Gu family has never done anything to bully others, although we are preparing in a hurry this time, we should try our best to meet the requirements of the woman's family. I heard that one of the rituals when getting married is that a woman should be carried on a sedan chair by her husband or brother, but my eldest brother's whereabouts are unknown, and my sister-in-law is an only daughter without a brother. ”

As Gu Min said, the person who carries the bride on the sedan chair can be either a brother or a husband, but there is no reason to let the husband's brother-in-law carry it. It's just that he mentioned it inexplicably, and for a while, even the bride didn't know what to do.

However, Gu Min didn't care about this, and immediately reached out to pick her up and sent her to the sedan chair steadily.

"Sister-in-law can sit well, the road will be bumpy, eight sedan chairs may be a little shaky, if sister-in-law can't sit steadily, the future will not be smooth."

Sitting motionless in the sedan chair means that life will be safe and stable in the future, although this is one of the customs of Daqi, but from Gu Min's mouth, it carries a bit of threat.

But think about it, what kind of status does the Gu family have, how can they allow the Meng family to casually arrange or even lose face several times?

Thinking of this, Meng Nanjun didn't refute it, in her opinion, it was the best to be able to do it with Gujiajingshui.

"Pick up the car......"

With the shouting of the master of ceremonies, the gongs and drums were joyful all the way, and there were countless voices of discussion in between. The play-like eyes of passers-by on both sides are substantial, and across the sedan chair and the red Xipa, Meng Nanjun seems to be able to feel something, and his heart is a little abrupt for no reason.

Before March 3, although she never thought that she would get married so soon, after all, she was here at the end of the year, and she had also thought about what kind of man she would marry.

is as cold as her mother, as gentle as her father, and even has substituted the temperament of Liu Yunqi Lishu and others, thinking of the end, she really doesn't know what kind of man she likes.

"What do you care so much about? As long as you can rejoice with him, that's the most important thing. When Liu Yunqi mentioned this matter, she had not yet met Zhou Xu, and she was free and easy back then, and she said this.

Meng Nanjun listened helplessly, after all, Liu Yunqi's words still failed to give her an exact appearance, but if you think about it carefully, isn't this the truth?

So Meng Nanjun didn't worry anymore, and handed over the marriage to fate to arrange, waiting for several years, but because of a holy decree, he married a person who was masked and didn't even know life and death, thinking about it, it was really a little aggrieved.

"Miss, this guard of honor should go around the imperial capital for half a day, if you are tired, you might as well take a break in the sedan chair." While thinking about it, a familiar voice came from my ears, which turned out to be the pear book accompanying the sedan chair.

Meng Nanjun was still a little surprised when he heard this, turned his head to the window slightly, and asked in a low voice, "Didn't you go to Gu Mansion, why do you have to walk for another half a day?" ”

Speaking of this, Lishu snorted a little angrily, and told the truth what he heard from the honor guard: "This official family only cares about pomp and circumstance, and has to learn those complicated etiquettes that have long been abandoned, and carry a sedan chair around the city to show the world." If it weren't for the fact that the imperial capital was too big, they would have really been able to plan like this if they walked around to get the day after tomorrow. ”

Listening to the words clearly, Meng Nanjun couldn't cry or laugh, this Gu family obviously wanted to take revenge on the "incomplete etiquette" he said, and walked half a circle to tell the people that the Gu family gave this eldest daughter-in-law enough decency, and secondly, it was also a small punishment and a big commandment, so that she could restrain her temperament a little.

It's just that the people who were invited to blow and carry the sedan chair were bitter, and they walked for half a day, but I was afraid that my hands and feet would not have a good voice.

However, the Gu family insisted on this, and Meng Nanjun had nothing to say, but her straight back immediately loosened and slowly leaned back.

"I'll sleep in it for a while, if you can't walk, find a place to rest."

Meng Nanjun closed her eyes after speaking, and Liulishu whispered outside to remind her to pay attention to her appearance, even if no one saw it, she had to make a good sign of "stability".

But how could Meng Nanjun, who was already forced, take care of it?

You must know that the Gu family already looks at her very unpleasantly, even if she tightens her body into a string at this time, there will be no less.

It's better to have fun in time and not lose yourself for a moment.

Meng Nanjun got up too early today, she was already sleepy, and she fell asleep not long after this time, and the sound outside failed to wake her up.

She even had a dream, the red candle warmed the tent, the moon shadow swayed, and her slender fingers clenched a jade-colored Ruyi, and slowly picked off the Xipa that covered her vision.

Half of the face is silver, half of the face is smiling, and the eyes are tender, like silk and water.

Meng Nanjun was shocked, and immediately opened his eyes, only to find that at this time, he was being confined to the bed rail with his hands tied behind his back, and a man in half-faded clothes was pressed in front of him.

It was Gu Min.
