Chapter 181: The Wedding Changes
"Miss Xie?" After a while, Wang Lan's faint voice sounded in this room, surprisingly ghostly.
Xie Yan...... Isn't she dead?
Yang Jinrong pulled Yang Jincheng's sleeve with a ghostly look.
The surprise in Hua Xiyan's heart was only for a moment, and after a while, she came back to her senses - not Xie Yan.
Rao is really similar in front of her, but looking at the expression on this woman's face and the temperament around her, she is sure that this woman is not Xie Yan.
Sure enough, when I saw the woman saluting, Ying Ying bowed, and said softly: "Xie Qing asks all the young ladies to be safe!" ”
It turned out to be the third lady of the Xie family, Xie Yan's sister Xie Qing.
Hua Xiyan had heard before that the second miss of the Xie family and the third miss were the same mother, and the difference between them was only one year old, and their faces were extremely similar, like twin sons.
But looking at this woman now, there is no trace of Xie Yan's unbeatable and domineering face, but cowardly, soft and weak, like a deep boudoir, whether it is voice or style, it is very different from Xie Yan.
Accustomed to Xie Yan's appearance, now that the similar face has changed to a very different temperament, Hua Xiyan feels weird.
"The prince is polite, Miss Xie is polite." Hua Xiyan stood up and bent his knees slightly towards the two.
The man is Xie Zheng, the son of the Xie family who went to Huangzhao Temple to pick up Xie Yan's coffin, and he is also the son of the Hou of Jiading.
"I've been hearing the name of Miss Wang Er for a long time, and now I can finally see it!" Xie Zheng said to Hua Xiyan, not feeling that the woman in front of him had had many conflicts with her sister, and might even be the murderer of her sister.
Hua Xiyan pursed his lips and smiled, not saying much.
"I heard that my son returned to Beijing, and my father has always been thinking about my son." Xie Zheng took two steps forward and stood a foot in front of Yun Qi, and said, "I don't know when my father will be able to see my son?" ”
Yun Qi's lips are still a light smile, which looks approachable and incomparable, but it is indifferent and alienated, like a bright moon in the blue waves, which seems to be within reach, but in fact it is out of reach.
"Thank you Shibo for your concern, Qi will definitely go to Chen County to visit him in person in the future." Yun Qi spoke slowly, and glanced at Hua Xiyan quietly.
Hua Xiyan wanted to laugh in her heart, it seemed that she was not the only one who was going to Chen County.
Yun Qi said this sentence and didn't say it, Xie Zheng didn't care, just sat on the side with Xie Qing, and a few people chatted about something.
"I heard about Yun Gongzi and Miss Wang Er, it's really enviable." Xie Qing looked at He Huaxiyan and said with amazement in his eyes.
Envy? Hua Xiyan laughed in her heart: "Miss Xie doesn't think it's against the norm of ethics." ”
I thought that Xie Qing would have an embarrassed look on her face, but she didn't, she just frowned and shook her head: "Gangchang ethics is really ridiculous, you love me and I are human nature, if there is true love, why should you be bound by that ethics?" ”
"Qing'er!" When Wang Qing's words fell, he was interrupted by Xie Zheng, "Pay attention to your words." ”
Xie Qing lowered her head, bit her lips, and wrung the handkerchief in her hand.
Hua Xiyanmei's eyes rose with a hint of interest, thinking that if this woman could have such an idea, it would be strange.
Xie Qing had obvious awe of Xie Zheng, and Hua Xiyan was not surprised. After all, there are four daughters of the Xie family, the eldest daughter entered the palace as a concubine, and this daughter Xie Yan has been famous since she was a child because of her ability to "write on the left and draw on the right", in comparison, Xie Qing's brilliance is too faint.
If it weren't for Xie Yan's death, she would never have appeared here.
"Miss Xie's idea is peculiar, and there is nothing wrong with it." Hua Xiyan said that, and saw Xie Qing looking at him with a smile, and it was not difficult to see that it was from the bottom of his heart.
While everyone was talking, they saw a servant girl come out of the door, and saluted to everyone, "The auspicious time has come, please go to the front hall to watch the ceremony!" ”
The front hall was full of guests, and the people they knew and didn't know were all smiling, as if they were the ones who were getting married today.
Hua Xiyan glanced at the people in the room, and suddenly lowered his voice and asked Yun Qi beside him: "But there is a person in the Wen family's room?" ”
"Not really."
Hua Xiyan instantly understood that the Wen family's room did not seem to agree with Wen Yao's matter of straightening the concubine's room. It can be seen how much Wen Yao loves this concubine.
Feeling a sharp gaze as sharp as a sword condensed on him, Hua Xiyan looked up and crashed into Wen Chun's eyes.
After thinking about it carefully, he found that he hadn't seen Wen Chun for a long time, and it seemed that the other party was also very busy because of the affairs of the Southern Money Bank.
Wen Chun still had a friendly and polite smile on his face, but the color of his eyes was a little darker, which made people feel that this eldest son of the Wen family was unfathomable.
Presumably now he thinks he has taken advantage, Hua Xiyan thought. The closure of the Wang family's money house, the Wen family's dominance, and the fire in the rice and grain business should be such a thing to celebrate for this man who had never been in contact with business before.
Looking at it like this, Wen Chun's gaze suddenly turned to Yun Qi, and the smile on his face became much more meaningful.
So Hua Xiyan thought of the Pingcheng woman who was taken away by Wen Chun, is Ji Yan?
"The newcomer has arrived!" The celebrant interrupted Hua Xiyan's thoughts, and when he turned his head, he saw Wen Yao, who was over the age of confusion, and the woman in the red silk section coming slowly with their hands clasped.
When stepping into the brazier, Wen Yao even bent down and lifted the hem of the woman's long clothes, which was intimate and delicate.
Looking at this scene, the smile on Wen Chun's face was even worse, but it was different from the deep meaning just now, but a real, heartfelt smile.
The maidservants on both sides sprinkled the fresh petals in the basket in their hands, and the room was filled with the fragrant fragrance of petals in an instant, no longer lonely in winter, but full of spring and flowers.
Wen Chun's eyes looked at everyone for a week, and finally settled on Wen Chun's face, Wen Chun looked back at his father, for a while, no one could understand the deep meaning in the eyes of this father and son.
"It's auspicious, salute!" The celebrant's singing voice sounded again, "Worship heaven and earth!" ”
"Don't worship!" Suddenly there was a coquettish shout from outside the door, and everyone saw a woman in thin clothes and long hair running in from outside.
"Miss Wen?" I don't know who called such a sentence, and everyone realized that the woman whose face was blocked by scattered hair was Wen Mei.
Although it is now spring, the weather is still very cold, Wen Mei ran in in a single dress, her cheeks were already red from the cold, but she didn't know it, she just stared at the bride with a red hijab.
"Mei'er, what are you doing!" Wen Yao's face sank, obviously displeased.
"Father, my mother has been buried for more than a month, and you are in a hurry to welcome the newlyweds into the door, how can you be worthy of your mother, who is still cold?" Wen Mei pointed to the bride with a covered head and yelled hoarsely at Wen Yao.
Wen Yao's behavior of marrying a wife so quickly has long been pointed at, but no one has said it, and now when she heard Wen Mei say this, a look of unknown meaning flashed on her face.
Wen Yao obviously didn't plan to explain more, or didn't have an explanation at all, but just said to the person next to him: "Take the eldest lady down!" ”
Someone next to him came up to pull Wen Mei, but he heard Wen Mei shouting: "Get out!" ”
Wen Mei turned her head to look at Wen Yao, her eyes were sad and desperate, but her voice was gritted and squeezed out of her throat word by word: "As long as I am here today, this woman will not want to enter the door!" ”
The bride seemed to be frightened by Wen Mei, and couldn't help shrinking behind Wen Yao, and even reached out and pulled Wen Yao's sleeve.
Wen Yao's machismo was aroused all of a sudden, and it could be seen that the green tendons on his forehead were blooming, and he was about to have a seizure, so he heard Wen Chun say without being salty: "The eldest lady's illness is not cured yet, why did you let her out?" ”
In a word, people instantly thought of Wen Mei's madness.
Wen Mei turned her head to look at Wen Chun, her gaze seemed to be about to eat him alive, and now she didn't even plan to maintain her face: "What qualifications do you have to beak me, a bastard born to a slut?" ”
Although Wen Mei is usually a little spicy, she is still cultivated, and now that she says this, she will undoubtedly shock the four seats.
"Rebel girl!" Wen Yao took two steps forward and slapped Wen Mei in the face.
There was a crisp sound of "pop", and Wen Mei fell to the ground, but she covered her face, didn't cry or make trouble, just glared at Wen Yao fiercely with scarlet eyes...... and the woman behind her.
"What are you doing in a daze! Take her down for me! Wen Yao yelled at the stunned guards on both sides. Isn't it shameful enough for this rebellious girl to make such a fuss? Feeling the fear of the person behind him, Wen Yao really wanted to strangle this rebel girl to death!
The guards stepped forward, and before they could pull Wen Mei away, they saw her suddenly get up from the ground and yell, "You go to die!" ”
This happened so quickly that before people could react, they saw a flash of cold light and then heard a cry of pain. The bride's body fell limply to the ground, and even a dagger was stuck in her chest!
Wen Yao slapped Wen Mei out with one palm, and he hugged the person in his arms and called in a trembling voice: "Yingru, Yingru, how are you?" ”
The bride's red hijab had fallen to the ground, revealing a face with delicate makeup but drenched in cold sweat. People don't know what kind of expression is under this fat powder, but it can be imagined that it must be very white!
"Call the house doctor, call the house doctor!" Wen Yao shouted in a panic as he picked up the bride and ran outside. I didn't look at Wen Mei when I passed by.
Wen Mei stroked her shoulders and sat on the ground, Wen Yao had no martial arts, so the palm just now did not cause her substantial damage. So there was nothing unusual about her, except that her face was pale.
Wen Chun chased him out, but when he passed by Wen Mei, a murderous intent flashed in his eyes.
Wen Mei was originally a broken jar, but now she has nothing to be afraid of Wen Yao. So she looked back at him with her neck up, with a triumphant and defiant smile on her face, but that smile was matched with messy hair and messy clothes, and it felt like a ghost when you looked at it.
"The dagger is poisonous." Wen Mei's smiling words made Wen Chun's ugly face become gloomy for a moment, and even the hand on her side was clenched and trembled violently.
