Chapter 364: The Day of Great Joy

Clean water splashes the street, loess cushion road. There were forty drummers walking in the head, both young and old, and all the people who ate this bowl of rice in the city of Changtu Mansion came to the circle. A brand-new black jacket with a freshly starched face, with a red coat on the outside, blowing and blowing is not lively.

Behind the drummer was a tall horse, black from head to toe, without a single stray hair, and shining as bright as satin. Even the hot air that came out of its nose was full of energy. The bridegroom's son, Nalambavi, rode on horseback and wore a dark blue silk gown draped in red. In the end, he was born in the army, riding on a horse with a straight waist, holding the reins seemingly casually with both hands, without a smile on his face, without squinting, and with his own spirit.

Falling behind Nalan Bowei was a large sedan chair with eight lifts, the day was cold in the lunar month, but the eight big men carrying the sedan pole were all shirtless, and there was only a red silk crossbody on their upper body. These eight big men are all knotted with muscles and muscles, their steps are steady, and they move like a person, not in a hurry or slow. At a glance, you can see that these eight are all good at surviving their strength and having kung fu. When you think about what this Feng'en Fuguo Gong is doing, you can understand that these eight people should be good hands in the army.

What kind of sedan chair is worthy of such a person? The sedan chair is bright red, the top cover of the eight treasures, and the tassels of strings of glazed beads hang down from the eaves of the sedan chair, and the winter sun is shining. The sedan chair fabric is embroidered on one side of the phoenix, the other side is painted with a dragon, even the bib is embroidered with gold edge, the sedan curtain is embroidered with gold thread on the top of the four bats, the bat wings are spread out into a circle, and a square cornucopia is enclosed in the middle, which is "many sons and many blessings".

As he had guessed before, the two sides of the road were full of people who wanted to come to see the excitement, crowded with people, shoulder to shoulder, and he looked down from his horse, only to see a black crowd of people's heads. If it weren't for the fact that the yamen and the patrol troops were all called on duty and guarded on both sides of the greeting procession, it would have been difficult to move an inch.

Because of the war, people inside and outside the city were panicked, and there was no taste of the New Year at all. Not to mention that food prices have skyrocketed, and many families have not even eaten a meal of dumplings. In the past, when the Chinese New Year was held, you had to weigh two taels of white noodles from the grain store, and for nothing else, you couldn't even eat dumplings, is this still called the New Year? But now it's such a day, you have to live it, but you have to live it, you can't always die for this, right?

The family affair of the Nalan family and the An family made Xiao Suo's mansion lively. Although I know that it has nothing to do with me, the people are still willing to join in the excitement and take a second look. It's not a little bit of joy, it's just to get a bit of excitement back from here. Otherwise, during the Chinese New Year, the whole city would not even be able to hear the movement of artillery battles -- the Japanese issued a strict order strictly prohibiting fireworks and firecrackers in the city, so as not to be confused with the sound of gunfire -- the Japanese would have been holding back to arrest the People's Union that was making trouble in the rear.

If you don't listen, what if you have to let it go? Kill! The Japanese put down their words, and anyone who set off fireworks and firecrackers in the city to disturb the people's livelihood and military rule could be killed first. When it comes to this, do the people dare not listen?

But today is the exception, the Nalan family and the An family are not ordinary people. On the day of the great joy, the Japanese officers who were also in Changtu were also invited to watch the ceremony and attend the banquet. These two families wanted to set off artillery battles for the wedding, and the Japanese did not stop them.

In the inner hall of the mansion, An Jien looked at herself in the mirror, as if looking at another person. Her face was expressionless, and she could not say joy or sorrow.

She was dressed in a bright red wedding dress, with a round neckline and a large right placket at the top, and a horse-faced skirt that reached to the ankles at the bottom. On his feet are a pair of white socks, and he has not yet put on shoes. The Ling'er of Changtu Mansion pays attention to such a rule, before the bride arrives at the groom's door, her feet cannot land. When you get out of the house and get on the sedan chair, you have to let people carry it.

An Xien had a little gold ornament on her head, forming a phoenix look, and some tassels hung down, just in front of her eyebrows, just right. The hijab was placed on a chair next to it and crumpled up.

"Miss," said the maid cautiously, "the bride herself cannot take off this red hijab." You better cover it quickly, or the old man will see it in a while and will scold us. ”

An Jien turned her head to look at the maid, smiled, shook her head, and did not speak.

At this time, An Zhifu's voice came from outside the door: "What's wrong?" Why should I curse? ”

Seeing An Zhifu enter the house, the maid hurriedly said a blessing: "Master, Miss she ......"

"Look what you look like!" An Zhifu's eyebrows were horizontal, and his brows furrowed, "Hi En, today is a big day, what to do, you should know it in your own heart." We all agreed before, and you also agreed, why are you lifting the hijab now? ”

Ann smiled and picked up Sheepa and spread it out on her knees. This Xipa is red and heavy, embroidered with all kinds of auspiciousness, there must be eight taels, if it is covered on the head, then it is really impossible to see anything.

An Xien spoke slowly: "I know, we discussed it before, so I am still sitting here in this dress." If I really don't want to marry, I'm afraid you're going to tie me up, and I won't suffer this. ”

An Zhifu frowned slightly, and sighed lightly: "Hien, you are my daughter, I love you the most, I won't harm you." Don't make it hard for Daddy. ”

An Xien nodded: "I won't make it difficult for my father, but I don't want my father to guard against me like a thief." It's all today, and I want to be alone. Can you all go out? When I come, I will put on my hijab. ”

An Zhifu didn't agree, just looked at An Jien.

An Jien pointed to the jewelry on her head and said, "Dad, you are afraid that I will seek death and life, and it can be said that it has taken a lot of painstaking work. Even on the day of the wedding, I didn't have a needle on my head. You said that if something happens to me, everyone who takes care of me will have to pay for their lives, so the subordinates are also very careful, you can rest assured, I want to die, and I can't hold my breath to suffocate myself. I'm not going to bite my tongue and kill myself, then I'll die too ugly. ”

An Zhifu still didn't speak, and you still looked at An Jien like this.

An Jien gritted her teeth and asked again, "You can't get out?" ”

"Stand down, and let Miss be alone for a while." An Zhifu finally relented and sent the people out of the room. As for himself, he stayed the last, and looked at his daughter for a moment, then sighed and shook his head, turned and walked out of the room, and closed the door casually.

"You two stay here," An Zhifu beckoned the two family members, "listen carefully to the movement inside, and if there is anything strange, go in immediately." If not, then when the hour comes, the two of you will come and speak to me. ”

After such an order, the two family members did not dare to slack off, and stood guard in front of the door, and almost put their ears to the door to listen.

At this time, a female voice sounded in An Xien's ears: "The bride was born with good looks, and now she is wearing a wedding dress on her body, like the peony blooming." In the cold snow in the first month, when I saw the bride, my heart was full of spring breeze. No wonder Nalan Lang goes in and out of the flowers, but the leaves do not stick to him, after all, it is because the king of flowers is not comparable to those ordinary vulgar pink flowers and willows. You, you, you really make me like it when I see it, and I want to rob it and go to be my mirror. ”

"Grandma Seventeen, you're laughing." An Jien smiled bitterly and shook her head, "You are the flower and the moon, just like the fairy in the painting, I am a mortal after all, how can I compare to you?" ”

An evil wind blew, and a human figure appeared in the room, which was Hu Qiqi, who had spoken earlier. She went to the rose chair under the window and sat down, picked up a piece of wedding cake, took a bite of it, and said with a smile: "It's so sweet." It's really a luxury, many people in the city can't eat, and the cakes you use to make decorations are so exquisite. ”

"I also think it's a luxury." Ann Jien nodded, "My daily meals have not changed from usual. It's ridiculous to say, if you hadn't come to me for boredom, I wouldn't have known that there was a war going on outside. Grandma Seventeen, you say that I read, is it useful? ”

Grandma Seventeen paused for a moment and threw away the candied fruit that was handed to her mouth: "How could you ask such a thing?" Certainly useful. If you don't read, recognize the nonsense of the three outlines and five constants, and only know some female commandments, female training, and female virtues, then you can be regarded as a walking corpse. Now, even if you can't resist, your mind is still clear, and you know it's not right. ”

An Xien sighed and said, "That's true, Grandma Seventeen is right. I'm a bastard when I ask something like that. After being stuffy in the house for so long, my heart turned out to be a layer of dust. ”

"Have you really thought about it?" Grandma Seventeen suddenly looked serious, "You are only in your twenties this year, and you still have a good life in the futureβ€”I have asked you this before, and I have to ask it again nowβ€”do you really want to do this?" ”

An Jien smiled bitterly and said, "Grandma Seventeen, people live for a lifetime, and they must always leave some thoughts in this world. Married to Nalan Bowei, since then raised in the Guogong Mansion, spending a thousand days, it is better than one day, and it is like one day, then my long years, won't it become a torture? ”

"Okay, I see." Grandma Seventeen nodded, and actually took out a pistol out of thin air and threw it into An Xien's arms, "This is what I stole from the barracks, I don't understand, can you see if it fits?" ”

Ann picked up her gun and withdrew from the magazine, seeing that there were three rounds inside. She pulled the trigger without bullets, and when she saw that the firing pin was also easy to use, she nodded: "It's exactly what I want, I'm bothering Grandma Seventeen." With that, Anjoen took out a burnt pen from under her pillow and handed it over with both hands.

Grandma Seventeen took the pen and sighed lightly: "When I handed over this money to Xiucai, I thought that someone would come to me for wealth, someone would come to me for power, and someone would come to me for longevity. I never thought that it was you who used this pen, and it would be nothing more than death. ”

An Jien smiled instead, and smiled happily: "Now that the thing has returned to its original owner, Grandma Seventeen, you can be regarded as having cut off this dust, and you can rest assured." ”

At this time, someone knocked on the door: "Miss, are you okay?" The greeting arrived at the door of the mansion, so you might as well let us in. ”

Hu Qiqi smiled at An Xien, nodded, and then disappeared out of thin air, just like when he came. Ann Joen tucked the pistol in her jacket, lightly covered the hippa, and said, "Come in." ”
