Chapter 129: As long as you're happy
Tanabata Building, goodbye!
Dayan, goodbye!
The procession to welcome relatives blew all the way out of the capital, and the people who watched the excitement also lined up until the gate of the city. (9) VIII] (9) VIII] (9) Read] (9) Book, .2 ≧ ↗
After walking out of the city for a while, the team finally quieted down and stopped playing.
"Stop!" Chu Lingyun shouted, and the team stopped.
Yun Qixi lifted the curtain, looked out, and saw Chu Lingyun riding a horse back to the sedan chair, and said gently, "Qixi, it will be a long way to go to Xiliang, and if you stay for a while and get to the next town, I'm afraid you will have to change to a carriage." ”
"Okay." Yun Qixi responded.
She was about to put down the curtain when she heard Chu Lingyun ask softly, "Qixi, aren't you happy?" ”
Yun Qixi raised her head and met his eyes, his clear eyes seemed to be able to peek into people's hearts, and his sensitivity made her feel guilty.
Yun Qixi smiled at him and said, "No, I just don't like long journeys very much. ”
Chu Lingyun breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, "We don't have to rush so much, you don't have to have a psychological burden, we can travel while walking, wherever you think it's fun, you can stay there for a few more days." ”
"Prince, this, this is not very good, after all, this is a kiss, not a tour of the mountains and rivers, there are still rules, how can you stop and go? How unlucky this is! The bride who was standing on the side finally couldn't help it and reminded in a low voice.
Chu Lingyun smiled disappreciatively, "What does it matter? As long as Tanabata is happy. ”
This sentence, coupled with his gentle smile, shines into people's hearts like a warm sun, hot.
"This ......" Xi Niang is probably the first time she has encountered such a thing since the beginning, but the identities of the two are not ordinary, and she is not good at saying anything.
After walking for two hours, at noon, I arrived at Cishui Town.
When a welcoming team passes by, it will always attract onlookers, not to mention such a spectacular team.
Hearing the bustling voices, Yun Qixi opened the curtain and looked out, and the people on the street were very curious to stare at the sedan chair, and when they saw the curtain lifted, they rushed to see the true face of the bride.
"County Lord, you can't just show your face." The bride whispered a reminder outside the sedan chair and wanted to put the curtain down.
But Yun Qixi tightened the red curtain and didn't move, his eyes staring at a back in the crowd.
The moment she lifted the curtain, the person who had been standing in the crowd quickly withdrew from the crowd.
What a familiar back! When she tried to see more clearly, the figure was gone, but she was sure it wasn't an illusion.
"County Lord, what's wrong?" Seeing that her look was wrong, Xi Niang asked.
Yun Qixi shook his head, "It's okay, tell His Royal Highness the prince that I'm hungry." ”
As Xiao Xiniang conveyed, Chu Lingyun had already heard her words and ordered, "Find a place to rest." ”
Yun Qixi didn't care about the eyes of the people around him, and got out of the sedan chair like this, without even covering his head. Xi Niang couldn't stop her, so she had to follow her. Along the way, there are no rules.
Chu Lingyun got off the horse, Yun Qixi walked up to him and said, "Lingyun, can I not wear this, it's too heavy." ”
Chu Lingyun replied with a smile without thinking about it, "Yes, you can do whatever you want." ”
"How can this be?" Xi Niang really can't help but say it. "If you don't abide by these other rules, how can you even take off your wedding dress when you get married?"
"Yes, Second Miss, that's not good." Even Qiao'er, who hadn't spoken all the way, couldn't help but speak.
"It's not just Tanabata to change, everyone has to change it, after all, it's a long way to go, and it's inconvenient to dress up like this." Chu Lingyun made a final decision.
Don't look at him, he usually speaks very gently, but when he gets serious, no one dares to refute it.
The group entered an inn next to it.
When the shopkeeper saw so many people coming, he smiled happily and immediately asked several juniors to come up to entertain him.
After they had eaten briefly, Yun Qixi said to Chu Lingyun, "I'll go find a room to change my clothes." ”
Chu Lingyun nodded and said, "Okay." ”
Yun Qixi asked Xiao Er for an empty room, and Xiao Er led the way to the staircase and was about to go up to the second floor. But as soon as she looked up and saw a figure walking on the second floor, her heart was shocked, and she took back the steps she had taken.
She walked back to Chu Lingyun's side and said, "Let's not change it, let's hurry, let's change to the carriage and strive to arrive early." ”
Chu Lingyun saw that her face was wrong, put down his chopsticks, reached over and gently held her hand, and asked, "What's wrong?" Are you uncomfortable? ”
Yun Qixi shook his head, "It's okay." ”
Chu Lingyun immediately instructed Xiaoyu, "Xiaoyu, go hire a few carriages and feed some forage to my horses." ”
"Okay." Xiaoyu answered and went.
After everyone had eaten, Xiaoyu's carriage was ready, and everyone started on the road again.
Yun Qixi sat in the carriage, thought calmly for a while, the corners of his lips twitched slightly, and he couldn't help but snort coldly, and a rippling brilliance crossed his eyes.
Walking out of Cishui Town, it was so lively that it was deserted. The string in Yun Qixi's heart is getting tighter and tighter.
Suddenly, a cry was heard.
Yun Qixi lifted the curtain and looked over, only to see that not far from the foot of the mountain, the dark coins were flying all over the sky, and many people were kneeling in front of a grave, crying sadly.
It was noon, but the sky seemed to be a little darker, and the wind was stronger, and it seemed that the sky was about to change.
There were coins blown by the wind, flying over their heads and beside them.
Xi Niang exclaimed, waving her hands straight, not wanting the dark coins to stick to her body, and scolding from time to time, "Bad luck, how could such a thing happen?" It's so unlucky. ”
Yun Qixi raised his voice and said, "Stop." ”
Xi Niang stared at her with wide eyes, "County Lord, what do you want to do have to wait here to talk about it, today is your big day, how unfortunate it is to encounter such a thing, we have to avoid it quickly." ”
Yun Qixi ignored her, and had already got out of the carriage and jumped out of the carriage.
"Lingyun, it's fate to meet, I want to burn a piece of paper for this deceased." Yun Qixi raised his head and said to Chu Lingyun.
Chu Lingyun was slightly stunned for a moment, and then nodded understandingly, "Okay." ”
"Second Miss, this is not very good, let's hurry up, on your happy day, how can you stick to the dead people? You can't do nothing, right? Qiao'er grabbed her.
Yun Qixi patted her hand lightly and smiled faintly, "It's okay, the last thing I'm afraid of in my life is the dead man." ”
After saying that, in the eyes of everyone else who did not understand, she stubbornly walked over.
Someone was sad when they looked up and saw a woman in a wedding dress, but they forgot to cry, and gradually, more and more people found her and stared at her in surprise.
"You cry so sadly, the souls of the deceased will be reluctant to leave, how can you be buried in peace?" Yun Qixi approached as he spoke.
One of the women, dressed in linen and filial piety, heard her say this, and tears welled up in her swollen eyes, which were already weeping.
"My husband has always been honest all his life, and he has never done anything hurtful, but he died so miserably, leaving me orphaned and widowed, what should I do?"
The more she spoke, the more sad she became, and when she had finished speaking, she began to weep bitterly.
Yun Qixi saw that there was a little boy about three or four years old kneeling beside her, with a pair of big eyes, looking at all this in a daze, as if he didn't know what was going on.
"The deceased is gone, the living can be chased, you can mourn by the way." After Yun Qixi finished speaking, he squatted down, picked up a handful of paper money and burned it.
"Sister-in-law of the Li family, cover the coffin, and let Brother Li be buried as soon as possible." The man standing by the grave exhorted.
Yun Qixi glanced at the grave, the coffin lid had not been closed, presumably the sister-in-law of the Li family was too sad and refused to close the coffin.
The woman only cried more and more sadly, and did not speak, and the others only acquiesced to her, and several of them joined forces to prepare to close the coffin.
Suddenly, a gust of wind blew, and a pile of dark coins flew into the sky, and the sparks rushed away.
Several strong men who were about to cover the coffin were dazzled, and they raised their hands to cover the flying paper ashes.
Only Yun Qixi opened his eyes and stared calmly at the coffin in the grave.
"This damn weather, I'm afraid it's going to rain." When the wind passed, one scolded, and only a few people worked together to close the lid of the coffin.
Yun Qixi stood up, put something in the hands of the Li family's sister-in-law, and said, "You have to raise the child well, and your husband is watching from the sky." ”
The sister-in-law of the Li family stared at the bloom of gold in her hand, froze, slowly raised her head, and finally looked at the girl in front of her in a wedding dress.
The others were also amazed, and for the villagers, perhaps some of them had never seen what gold looked like in their entire lives.
Yun Qixi had already walked back, everyone was staring at her, and then they also saw the long line of greeting relatives, and they knew that her identity was not simple.
Happy events meet funerals, this girl not only does not shy away from it, but also has such a big hand?
Yun Qixi's steps when he walked back were a lot easier, and when she saw Chu Lingyun looking at her, she gave him a smile and said briskly, "Let's go, I promise not to delay the trip again." ”
Sitting back in the carriage, Qiao'er also got into the carriage, and couldn't help but say, "Second Miss, there are so many poor people in the world that you can't take care of it." ”
Yun Qixi smiled silently.
Maybe everyone thinks she is sympathetic to the mother and son, she does have some sympathy for the mother and son, but she doesn't have so much love and boundlessness, Qiao'er is right, there are more poor people in the world. Only she knows that she just feels a little guilty about this sister-in-law of the Li family.
"Xi Niang, where does this place belong?" Yun Qixi asked the bride outside the carriage.
Xi Niang thought about the bad news just now, she was still shaking her head, and when she heard Yun Qixi ask, she replied, "This still belongs to Cishui Town, and if you walk for a while, you will arrive in Shuncheng." ”
When we arrived in Shuncheng, the sky was darker and the wind was stronger.
Although Shuncheng is not as good as the capital, it is definitely a prosperous city.
"Qixi Festival, let's settle down in Shuncheng tonight. Because out of Shuncheng, it is a long way to get to the next town. Chu Lingyun said.
Yun Qixi nodded and said, "Okay." ”
So, the group found an inn and stayed.
Yun Qixi had already expected that their trip would not go well, but he didn't expect that all the changes would happen in Shuncheng.
Afterwards, she even joked that what is Shuncheng called, it should be called Shuncheng.
