Chapter 45: A Thousand Miles of Marriage
Xiao Yun, who had been standing aside and secretly looking at her own young lady, kept her little eyes aimed at the corners of Mo Yan's raised mouth and the letter full of longing, "Miss, did the future uncle write something fleshy?" You've been smiling sweetly!"
"Xiaoyun, you're making fun of me!" Mo Yan flattened her mouth, but the smile on her face still showed that she was in a very good mood.
"That'...... The slave and maid went out first, and the young lady read the letter slowly. Xiaoyun lowered his head and snickered, gesturing to leave.
"No need, you can grind the ink! I want to write back to Lord Xuan. “
"Oh, it turned out to be written for my future uncle" Xiaoyun hurriedly ran to polish the ink and prepare rice paper.
[You sneaked into the house, did you want to be a thief? In the middle of the night, the third watch climbed the wall with a mask, and if you are caught, it will ruin your reputation! Seven days later is the Red Line Day in the North, and thousands of miles of marriage are linked. Why don't we go for a walk on the street that day, there will be many wonderful programs on that day, and there will be many good times for unmarried men and women to propose marriage and confess. Mo Yan picked up the pen and wrote, silently looking forward to the arrival of the day.
The red line day is a good day for lovers to express their affection to each other, and there are activities such as putting sky lanterns, which are very lively, and the senior brother can be seen on the same day, otherwise the woman in the boudoir after the engagement must not see the future husband until the day of marriage.
The Midnight Guards and Xiaoyun acted as errands again, panting and returning with Haoxuan's letter.
[Seeking marriage? No need, I have already asked for one of you from heaven. This life is enough. But it's good to see you, on the day of the Red Line, there will be no one on the Cuihu Bridge. 】
Seeking one person, this life is enough? Where did the senior brother learn to coax girls like this?
A sweet smile bloomed as she slowly put away all the letters and put them in a box.
"The Divine Decree has arrived, the Holy Decree has arrived!" The high voice of the eunuch kept shouting, standing in the hall and waiting for Jingwenhou's family to arrive.
However, he stood there leisurely, not daring to show the slightest impatience, this is the Marquis of Jingwen's Mansion, not the Earl's Mansion of the Marquis of Jingwen, the Marquis of Jingwen has made great achievements, and his wife is like a military advisor behind his back, against the intrigues and tricks of the court.
This whole family should not be underestimated, he doesn't know how many times a year he came to this Jingwen Marquis to announce the decree, that is the glory and reward given to the Jingwen Marquis Mansion by the Holy God today. However, this time is an exception, this will not fall on the head of Jingwen Hou, but on his daughter-in-law, Miss Mo Yan.
The eunuch was stunned for a while, ate a few sips of tea, and the whole Jingwen Marquis Mansion gathered in this hall.
When the eunuch saw Marquis Jingwen, he immediately flattered and took out the holy decree, "Carried by heaven, the emperor said, Miss Mo Yan of Marquis Jingwen's mansion, demure and gentle, behaves decently, and specially entitles Mo Yan to the position of county lord, gives three cities in Beiwan as fiefs, and marries Prince Xuan next month." “
"Thank you, Lord Longne!" Jingwenhou's family knelt on the ground to receive the order.
The emperor of the palace banquet was only announced in public, and today the palace sent eunuchs to pass the decree, which is considered a formal gift, and she can call herself the lord of Moyan when she goes out in the future, and the will also write that the marriage will be completed next month, which means that the marriage of the two is a sure thing, because after these holy decrees are drawn up, they are all sent to the cabinet for backup, even if someone is dissatisfied with this marriage, it cannot change this ironclad fact.
"Congratulations to Lord Moyan, you took over the holy decree, there is still something in the miscellaneous palace, and you left." The eunuch ordered several boxes of treasures to be left behind, "This is a special order from the queen mother to bring it, saying that it is for you to add makeup." “
After saying that, the eunuch left the Jingwen Marquis Mansion with a group of guards behind him.
Marquis Jingwen smiled fatherly, "My daughter has now become the county lord, and there are still three fiefs!"
Mo Yu also quipped on the side: "Sister, if I have no money to spend in the future, can I go to your fiefdom and wait for you to help?"
She shook her head, "This is not good, if you lose Jingwenhou's family property, I will definitely run back and scold you." But brother, you are so smart, in the future, if you become the champion and enter the court, you will be able to glorify your ancestors, and you can also make your father and mother happy. “
Two days later, the list of exams was announced.
A servant of the Marquis Jingwen Mansion began to shout from the gate: "Young Master is the champion of high school, this is the youngest martial champion in the Northern Kingdom." And that will try the first place, and directly crush many talents who have studied hard for many years!"
Mo Yan was practicing swords in the courtyard, but as soon as she heard the news, she hurriedly ran to the hall, only to see that her grandmother and mother had already gathered there, and her younger brother smiled proudly: "Grandmother, my grandson is a martial champion, and I will definitely protect you in the future."
The mother opened her mouth to hit his arrogance, "Although you have won the martial champion, but this will just pass, if you perform poorly in front of the saint, you will not be able to get the literary champion." Didn't you always want to be the first champion of civil and military affairs in the Northland? Then you're going to have to work hard. “
Mo Yan lifted her skirt and ran to Mo Yu, "Congratulations to the new Wu Zhuangyuan, I feel very honored as the sister of Zhuangyuanlang." “
"Sister, aren't you preparing a dowry? I heard that you have been embroidering a mandarin duck pillowcase recently, why are you so vacant now? I look at your outfit, didn't you just run to practice your sword again?" Mo Yu looked her dress with leaves up and down.
Mo Yan hurriedly patted away the green leaves on her long skirt, "Don't expose me." Embroidery all day long is boring. Why don't you fight with me with a sword?"
Mo Yu hurriedly shook his head and waved his hand, "I don't want to compete with you, if I hurt you, my father will be furious." “
Hurt her? Now her swordsmanship is comparable to that of the Immortal Realm, in addition to not being able to use spiritual power, with this set of swordsmanship, she can directly charge into battle and kill the enemy on the battlefield. Although Mo Yu is a martial champion, the only person who can hurt her in this mortal world is the senior brother. However, millions of soldiers and horses rushed over, she is not an immortal now, and she will definitely die in Huangquan.
Mo Yan shook her head, trying to get rid of the thoughts in her mind, now that she has a happy life, how could she think of going into battle to kill the enemy. If one of her did that, she was afraid that it would worry many people.
A few days have passed, and the streets in the capital are all covered with colorful lights and red cloths, and they look beaming.
From dawn, the stall owners start to set up their stalls and even sell many interesting knick-knacks.
The streets along the way are patrolled by the guards of the capital, and they will be inspected once every hour, because the red line day is like the day when the moon is old, and all unmarried men and women will come out on this day to walk, and some will even boldly confess their hearts.
Some of the younger ones come out to guess lantern riddles, put sky lanterns, and join in the fun, so on the day of the Red Line, the guards of the capital will become very strict, because the streets will be full of people, and even some beggars will take the opportunity to steal.
The red line day began after nightfall, so that at noon the sun was filled with only stall owners and a few minions who had come out to buy clothes and hairpins.
