Chapter XXIV
Today's Qin Mansion is lit up early in the morning, but most of the people in the mansion who come and go can't see a smile.
As soon as the sky was bright, there were guests in and out of the Qin Mansion, although the Qin family was nothing in the eyes of a big man like the ancient master, but it still had a respected status in the empire.
The kings of the Xianglong Empire all sent the three princes to congratulate them.
Today's weather is a bit overcast and stormy.
In the Qin family's Qin Xiangyu boudoir, Qin Xiangyu looked out of the window with blank eyes, and the successive blows broke the heart of this young girl.
"The best time has not yet begun, and I am going to get married like this. Qin Xiangyu muttered, tears slid down his white cheeks, and the makeup he had just put on was soaked in tears.
"I said, girl, if you keep crying like this, you will be tired of the old body, and the old body will not be able to give you a sedan chair before the auspicious time!" said the old man behind him with some complaints.
The old body also knows that the girl is wronged, but if this is blamed from above, the old body can't afford it, so it's better to trouble the girl to be considerate. ”
"Old man, I know, don't worry, I won't delay the hour. Qin Xiangyu wiped his tears and choked up.
"Hey, then the old body is relieved!"
The old man said while touching up Qin Xiangyu's makeup: "Girl, if you want me to say, you don't have to be sad, we women, sooner or later, there will be such a day, the husband is good or bad, beautiful or ugly, it is all destined by God, crying hurts the body, but it is not ruining yourself." ”
"What the old man said is true, but you only know one thing and you don't know the other, I am my brother who feels sorry for me who does not know where, and may never see him again. After Qin Xiangyu finished speaking, tears condensed in his eyes.
The old man hurriedly picked up the handkerchief on the side and wiped it and said, "I heard about it, I heard about the girl, but if you want me to say, many things in this world are destined, maybe if you look away, things are not as bad as you think." You still have to live well, if one day the person you miss suddenly comes to your side, but you are gone, then it is called sadness!"
When the old man said this, his eyes showed memories and nostalgia, but they were fleeting.
Qin Xiangyu looked slightly stunned, as if he had thought of something, and then said, "Old man, what you said makes sense. ”
Then the tears never fell.
......
In the Qin Mansion Hall, Qin Wuqing was entertaining the guests who arrived.
"The head of the Zhang family and the head of the Wang family have arrived!"
Qin Wuqing was busy taking care of affairs in the hall, and there was a message from his subordinates in the distance.
"Congratulations, Patriarch Qin!" Hearing his voice first, and then seeing his person, Qin Wuqing turned his head to look, Zhang Wude, the patriarch of the Zhang family dressed as a warrior, walked towards the hall with a smile on his face, followed by two subordinates dressed as warriors.
"Tongxi Patriarch Zhang, I really didn't expect that the little girl's engagement would also alarm Patriarch Zhang!" Qin Wuqing smiled at the corner of his mouth, but he didn't know whether it was sarcasm or sincerity.
"The Qin family belongs to the three major families of the empire with our Zhang family and Wang family, and the Qin patriarch's youngest daughter is engaged, we must come, no. Zhang Wude looked outside the door and shouted: "I said Patriarch Wang, what are you doing outside?"
"It's coming!" The person who came was wearing a yellow robe, with a big belly, but he was not tall, and he swayed when he walked, and the two young men in Tsing Yi next to him followed.
"Today, the little girl is engaged, and the arrival of the two patriarchs really makes our Qin family shine. Qin Wuqing looked at the two people in front of him and said with a smile.
"Where, where, Patriarch Qin, it should be, these two deep-sea purple pearls are my congratulatory gifts for Patriarch Qin, Patriarch Qin should not be disgusted. The patriarch of the Wang family held a purple gift box in his hand and said with a smile.
"Patriarch Qin, this soft armor was obtained by my clan at the auction, and it is invulnerable, so I will give it to Patriarch Qin today, I hope Patriarch Qin will accept it with a smile. The patriarch of the Zhang family took the soft armor from his subordinates and handed it to Qin Wuqing.
"Patriarch Wang is polite!, please come inside!" Qin Wuqing beckoned his subordinates to take the gifts, and followed the two into the hall.
"Someone, serve tea to the two adults. ”
"Two patriarchs, you can rest here for a while, and I will go to meet the third prince. After Qin Wuqing finished speaking, he turned around and went out.
"Patriarch Qin, wait a minute, the third prince is such a distinguished guest, how can we sit and wait, why don't you and I go together to greet us. "It was the patriarch of the Zhang family who spoke.
"It's okay!" Qin Wuqing nodded slightly, and walked out with the two patriarchs.
After a while, he saw a golden carriage with a shed driving over, Qin Wuqing hurriedly went up the mountain and said, "Welcome to the third prince!"
"Welcome to the third prince!" the patriarchs of the Zhang family and the Wang family also said respectfully.
"Huh!" The carriage stopped at the gate of the Qin Mansion, and a soldier wearing gold armor walked up behind the carriage and said to the third prince in the car: "Third prince, the Qin family has arrived!"
A man in a moon-white robe leaned out of the car, and the gold-armored soldier saw the man poke his head out and stretched out his hands to help him down.
"Patriarch Qin and the two patriarchs don't need to be polite, you are all big clans in the kingdom, there is such a festive thing in the clan, I should come over, the ancient master has seen it before, your Qin family can marry the Heavenly Emperor Kingdom, it is really the blessing of your Qin family, and it is also the blessing of my kingdom!" said the third prince elegantly.
"The third prince came to my Qin family to say hello in his busy schedule, it really makes my Qin family grateful, this is not the place to speak, the third prince, the two patriarchs, please inside!"
"Please!" After saying that, the third prince and the two soldiers walked in front, and Qin Wuqing and the three of them followed behind, walking towards the Qin family hall.
......
Qin Xiangyu boudoir.
The old man had already painted his makeup for Qin Xiangyu and sorted out his clothes.
At this time, Qin Xiangyu looked a little more charming and less agile than usual.
A bright red bridal dress sets off the whiter skin, willow eyebrows and phoenix eyes, teeth like shellfish, lips like dye, eyes like autumn water, and a faint cloud of sadness on the face.
Qin Xiangyu looked at the big red happy characters outside the door, and seemed to feel a little out of place, and sighed secretly.
"As the old man said, everything is fate"
......
Outside the Qin Mansion, he suddenly remembered the sound of gongs and drums, and Qin Xiangyu in the boudoir trembled, and looked out of the mansion with blank eyes.
"Miss, the person who picked you up is here!" the old man behind him reminded Qin Xiangyu.
"Got it. Qin Xiangyu got up slowly, her body and mind trembled at this time, although everything had been figured out before, but when it really happened!
She still can't control herself.
Qin Xiangyu's steps trembled a little, and tears almost fell from his eyes again.
Seeing this, the old man behind him quickly took a handkerchief and gave it to Qin Xiangyu, held Qin Xiangyu's shoulder and said, "Oh! I said girl, didn't you say it before, you can't cry!
Qin Xiangyu didn't speak, holding the table with both hands, at this time she felt that she couldn't exert the slightest strength in her body, like a walking corpse.
"Girl, you should hurry! What can you do? This is, girl! Don't miss the auspicious time! The old man is waiting!"
Qin Xiangyu exhaled deeply, stood up straight, and said, "Let's go!"
At this time, her tone was full of determination, and she didn't even look at everything around her anymore, covered her hijab, and walked out slowly!
