Chapter 18 Policies and Countermeasures (2)
The phoenix crown dress and the thick scarf were as heavy as if she was tied up for Jiang Huan. The team of relatives finally came, and Jiang Wan was supported by someone to get on the sedan chair.
Joy and hustle, from the Prime Minister's Mansion to the Yuwang Mansion, along the way are the big red brocade road, and the acacia petals sprinkled all the way are flying all over the sky. This wedding banquet is very luxurious, and you can think of the status of the prime minister and King Yu. What's even more obvious is that the emperor will also come to congratulate him in person.
Jiang Che came to congratulate and supervise this time, which Jiang Wan wanted to get, and Xie Qi and Chu Jian naturally could think of it.
Although Jiang Wan didn't do anything, she got up early and was at the mercy of Liuying, plus these red tape, she was so tired that she almost fell asleep. Fortunately, she had already arrived at the gate of Yuwang's Mansion, and the sound of Sizhu's joy was even higher, so noisy that she was not sleepy at all.
She was helped into the hall by Xi Niang, and the thick scarf could only let her see one of her shoes. Feeling the breath of a man, Jiang Wan knew that Chu Nian and Chu Yu were already in place at this time.
"Wechen knocks to see the emperor." When Jiang Wan heard Xie Qi say this, she thought that Jiang Che had already arrived.
"Today is a day of great joy, and you do not need to be vain. I was just a guest who came to congratulate me, and it was all about two couples. You just go ahead with the wedding process, and you don't have to worry about me being here. ”
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
At this time, I heard someone shouting, "The auspicious time is here, the newcomer salutes!" Worship heaven and earth......"
Jiang Wan was supported by the bride and saluted like a puppet.
"Two Worship High Hall ......"
Jiang Wan was pulled by the bride again, turned around and saluted.
"Husband and wife worship ......"
It's already husband and wife, maybe everyone thinks that the dust has settled on these two marriages, right? Especially Xie Qi, I'm afraid the corners of his mouth have already shown a smug look.
But Jiang Wan won't let you get your wish.
Just as she was about to bow to the husband and wife, Jiang Wan suddenly muttered, "I want to eat, I'm hungry......"
When the guests heard this, they were in an uproar.
Xi Niang whispered beside Jiang Huan, "Miss, when you enter the cave room, you will have something to eat." ”
Jiang Wan was unrelenting, and said directly, "No, I'm going to eat it now." ”
The bride didn't want to listen to Jiang Wan anymore, and wanted to directly press her to bow to her. But at this time, Jiang Che was suddenly heard shouting, "Wait! ”
The bride's hand trembled slightly.
Xie Qi hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, is there any problem?" ”
"It's the voice of the fourth lady of your family? How do I sound like it's coming from here? Jiang Che pointed to one of the brides covered with a scarf and said.
Xie Qi said, "Your Majesty, you heard it wrong. Your Majesty, the auspicious time should not be delayed, so let's invite the two couples to salute first. ”
Jiang Che didn't want to say anything, at this time, Jiang Wan suddenly lifted her hijab, sat directly on the ground, and cried, "No, I want to eat, I want to eat, otherwise I won't play this game with you." ”
"Fourth Miss?" Jiang Che looked at "Xie Ning" in surprise. The reason why he was so surprised was not because he saw Jiang Huan who was crazy at this time. It's because it should be Chu Nian who should be standing next to Jiang Huan, not Chu Yu.
This is Xie Qi's conspiracy. Whether Chu Jian was involved or not is unknown. The emperor has a policy, and there are countermeasures for this. Wang Ying gave her the wedding dress that was supposed to be Xie Yubing, the purpose was to exchange the two brides, once the ceremony was completed, it was sent to the cave room, and the raw rice was cooked and cooked, and the emperor had nothing to do.
Originally, it didn't matter if Jiang Wan dismantled it or not, because even if she exposed it in public, I believe that Xie Qi would have another set of rhetoric to get herself out. But she did it just for Xie Yubing.
It doesn't matter who she marries, but she can't let Xie Yubing get her wish. The more she fell in love with Chu Nian, the more she would not let her marry Chu Nian. Let Xie Yubing marry Chu Yu, who is unfathomable, Xie Yubing must not have a good life.
They can calculate many things, but the actions of a fool are not expected by them.
"Prime Minister Xie, Lord Yu, what's going on?" Jiang Che asked majestically.
Chu Jian looked at Xie Qi blankly, and Xie Qi looked at a happy girl. "What's going on? Mama Zhang? ”
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it's the old woman who is dizzy and has made the bride wrong."
The guests were in an uproar, and Xie Qi said angrily, "You foolish thing, how can you mistake the bride?" ”
Jiang Che already understood the relationship, and said leisurely, "The people in the Prime Minister's Mansion are too careless, right?" If these four young ladies hadn't suddenly been hungry, wouldn't the two pairs of people I had appointed be mistaken in vain? ”
Xie Qi hurriedly bowed down and apologized, "Yes, yes, the emperor taught me a lesson." Don't you change people yet? ”
"Yes! Come on, come on, the two brides change places. The bride hurriedly pulled the two brides to change positions. Jiang Wan saw Xie Yubing moving reluctantly, and stomped a few times unwillingly. At this time, the emperor was present, what could she say? The civil and military officials are basically there, and if she makes a fuss, it will be the crime of killing her head against the decree.
This time, Xie Qi's mute was decided.
"Prime Minister, can people in your house make this kind of mistake? I'm afraid it's intentional, right? A man said, it was Zhou Qian, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, who had always been Xie Qi's sworn enemy. Speaking of which, Zhou Qian was able to rise so quickly this week, thanks to Jiang Huan's casual mention of a few words in front of Jiang Che.
Xie Qi hurriedly said to Zhou Qian, "What does Lord Zhou mean by this?" Marriage is a big event, how can the old man be such a child's play? That's the woman's mistake. Didn't Lord Zhou want to say that the old man had the heart to do it? The emperor is here, don't talk about such a crime without evidence. After that, Xie Qi bowed to the emperor and said, "Please also ask the emperor to learn clearly." ”
Jiang Che said, "I think Lord Zhou's guess is not unreasonable, Lord Yu, what do you say?" ”
Chu Jian was named, immediately bowed and saluted, and said, "Lord Zhou's guess is really understandable. But after all, today is a happy day for two pairs of people, and it is really not good to miss the auspicious time because of this groundless speculation, and ask the emperor to make a holy decision. ”
Jiang Che breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Yes." Today they are the greatest, and you are also their highest, so you have the final say. ”
"Your Majesty."
Xie Qi said again, "Come on, pull that woman away." Today is a day of great joy, so I will spare your life. ”
The grandmother was pulled out directly, and the sound of begging for mercy was quickly drowned out. Jiang Wan thought, I'm afraid this woman won't survive.
Zhou Qian smiled lightly and said, "The prime minister is clever, and this responsibility has been borne by a mother-in-law." ”
Xie Qi said, "What do you mean by this, Lord Zhou?" Even the emperor doesn't care about this matter, why is Lord Zhou entangled? If Lord Zhou doesn't like the old man, he will argue in the future. Today is the day of the marriage of the old man and the little girl, and Lord Zhou does not give the old man face, but also gives the emperor some face. ”
Zhou Qian arched his hand and said, "Prime Minister Xie doesn't need to be angry, it's because Zhou Qian drinks too much and talks a lot." With that, he took a few steps back.
The moment Jiang Wan was covered with a scarf, she saw Jiang Huai among the guests. Those eyes were staring at her all the time. Jiang Wan said in her heart, this Jiang Huai is really careful, thinking that her behavior in the tavern that day has made her suspicious. Fortunately, she, who is an older sister, knows this younger brother quite well, so she is naturally not afraid to deal with him.
Bowed again, and with that sound, "Licheng, send it to the cave room...... Jiang Wan was helped away.
On the way, he was hit by someone. The people over there apologized again and again, and the matter was immediately settled. Jiang Wan was carried into the house by someone and sat on the edge of the bed.
"Miss, the young master will come over to drink with the young lady in a while, don't worry, don't worry, wait patiently here."
The room seemed to fall silent all of a sudden. But Jiang Wan didn't dare to speak more. It didn't take long for Jiang Wan to hear the sound of the door sliding, and then heard Liuying say to her, "Miss, it's me." Now there's no one around! ”
Jiang Wan lifted the scarf, as if she had been reborn, and the air became comfortable.
"What's going on with the collision?" Jiang Wan asked.
Liuying shook her head and said, "This slave doesn't know. Fang Cai's slave maid and Ping'er were all called elsewhere to eat some melons and fruits, saying that the matter here would be handed over to the maid of the palace. Wait until you enter the cave room, and the slaves and maids will come. ”
Jiang Wan didn't care, looked at the wine and food on the table, and said, "You bring me some, I'm really hungry." ”
"Miss, you better bear with it for a while. Later, when my uncle comes back, it's not too late for the young lady to eat. At this time, I am afraid that it will be unlucky. ”
"What's unlucky, it's unlucky to be hungry." Jiang Wan actually wanted to get up by herself, but the wedding dress was too heavy. The skirt behind him swayed to the ground, like a flower.
"Then Miss let's eat an apple first. I ate this dish, and my uncle should see it when I come back. Hotaru said as she took an apple from the plate to prevent anyone from seeing it, and rearranged the apple on the plate again.
Jiang Wan doesn't care about those, and some of them don't pick and choose. She rubbed the apple on her clothes a few times, then opened her mouth and bit it. After taking a few bites, he saw Liuhotaru laughing on the side and asked, "What are you laughing at?" ”
"Miss really doesn't have the frame of the eldest lady."
Jiang Wan snorted coldly, "What kind of shelf should the young lady of the nunnery be?" ”
Liuying was stunned by her question.
Jiang Wan took another bite and said indifferently, "Should Miss be Xie Yubing's appearance?" I just don't like her. If this is on the battlefield, who cares about your eldest sister? Being able to kill the enemy and save your life is the most important thing. ”
Liuying was confused, shook her head and looked at Jiang Huan, "Miss, what are you talking about, the slave doesn't understand!" ”
If you don't understand, you can't understand, and Jiang Wan can't explain.
"Sister Liuying, my uncle is here, come out!" Outside the door, he said.
"Miss, the slave went out first. Cave room, that, you pay attention to yourself......" Liuying said with a smile, and couldn't help but blush. Then he quickly snatched the apple from Jiang Huan's hand and covered her with a scarf.
After Liuying left, Jiang Wan had to sit there and wait for Chu Nian to come in.
After a while, Jiang Wan heard footsteps from far and near. Then he saw that Chu Nian's toes were already in his sight.
The scarf was provoked, Jiang Wan raised her head slightly, but what she could see was not Chu Nian, but Chu Yu!
