Chapter 45: The Greeting Procession
At noon, the rays of light like a waterfall poured down warmly, illuminating several people very comfortably. Bai Xin and Yan Lang walked in front, still bickering, after Huang Xiaopan's identity was accidentally discovered by Yan Lang, he has been with Lan Lan, after all, the two girls can talk better.
There was a burst of festive music playing and singing in the distance, and Bai Xin ran to a high post curiously, looked into the distance, and then shouted loudly backwards: "Come and see, there is a team to welcome relatives!"
Hearing the sound, several people hurriedly ran over, looked in the direction Bai Xin pointed, and saw a group of people slowly walking in the distance. Headed by are four uncles, they are dressed in red shirts and trousers, shaking their heads and blowing suona; behind them is followed by an eight-lift sedan chair, the sedan chair is extremely gorgeous-the bright red sedan chair woven with fine silk silk and satin, and the auspicious patterns of goldfish and lotus, Danfeng Chaoyang, rich peony and unicorn are respectively tattooed on all sides, the embroidery is delicate and exquisite, the picture is lifelike; the tassels of the sedan chair are fluttering, and the whole sedan chair is bright and dazzling. The sedan chair is made of fine camphor wood, the relief of the sedan car roof, the openwork of the sedan eaves, the gilded "happy eyebrows", the silver-coated "and the two immortals", the vermilion lacquer sedan body, exquisite and gorgeous like a golden Buddha shrine, gently swaying with the action of the sedan chair man. On the left side of the sedan chair, a maid in a blue cardigan skirt, a maid in a light purple cardigan skirt on the right, two girls with willow eyebrows, bright and intelligent, holding a flower basket, are constantly throwing petals with the send-off procession. The group walked lightly with joy and excitement.
Rao is a well-informed banquet man, and he has never encountered such a gorgeous send-off formation. The eyes of several people were straight, and they said in a daze: "I don't know which house is beautiful, and she is married in such a beautiful way!"
Before the sedan chair arrived, there was already a strong fragrance of flowers. Lan Lan took a deep breath, her heart suddenly became extremely calm, and she unconsciously sighed: "It's so fragrant~"
Bai Xin and a few people retreated to the side of the road early to make way for the wedding sedan chair to send off their relatives. When the sedan chair slowly walked in front of several people, a gentle command came from the sedan chair: "Stop!" The sound was like the ice-breaking warm wind in March, blowing through the hearts of several people in Baixin, which made people intoxicated. The sedan chair stopped in front of Bai Xin, and the suona at the front of the team also stopped abruptly.
The square curtain on the side of the sedan chair was gently opened by a slender hand, faintly revealing the bride's phoenix crown and xia veil sitting in the sedan chair, although only one corner was shown, but the double phoenix dragon crown on the bride's head had flashed so white that several people couldn't open their eyes, the bright pearls, the golden carved phoenix, shining from the narrow slit behind the curtain.
"Oh?" the bride let out a coquettish snort in the sedan chair, her eyes slowly swept over Bai Xin's body one by one, and then said curiously: "That short-haired child, what's your name?"
Tong Jun didn't expect the bride to talk to herself, pointed at herself in disbelief, and repeated: "Me?"
"Yes, it's you!" The bride's voice was like a crisp rain of oil, hitting several people, and even Lan Lan and Huang Xiaopan felt that their bones were soft.
"Tong Jun. Tong Jun felt that he couldn't control his voice, and answered inexplicably.
Bai Xin thought to himself: Why is Tong Jun's life so good, he already has Zhiyou, a stunner, who is addicted to him, how can there be a bride who is all over the country and the city paying attention to him? Forget it, even if the bride doesn't pay attention to Tong Jun, she is already married. Thinking of this, a sigh rose in my heart.
The bride nodded, the phoenix crown on her head jingled, and said, "The remnant sword behind you, is it the 'Black Lotus'?"
Tong Jun shook his head: "I don't know what this sword is called, it's my grandfather's." ”
"Is your grandfather's name Qu Tianzhong?"
Tong Jun didn't expect this bride to know her grandfather, and her eyes widened and she said, "Yes...... Do you know him?"
"Sort of, what about the others?"
A trace of sadness flashed in Tong Jun's eyes, and he whispered, "Grandpa, he's gone." ”
The bride didn't speak again, gently lowered the curtain, and said to the palanquin: "That's it, let's go." ”
The maids on both sides of the sedan chair continued to sprinkle petals, the suona sounded, and the send-off team slowly walked away.
Bai Xin watched the sedan chair drift away, and asked Tong Jun with a suspicious expression, "Does Grandpa Qu still know such a fairy-like woman?"
Tong Jun looked at the family sending team that was getting away suspiciously, and said, "Grandpa never mentioned it to me. ”
"Grandpa Qu is well-informed, he must have made friends with heroes in the world when he was young, and he must have been a well-known figure in the Central Plains. Forget it, let's hurry up and go, while it's still early!" Bai Xin saw that a few people were still immersed in the beauty of the bride, and quickly woke up a few people.
"Ah...... , Although I didn't see what the fresh lady looked like through the veil, she must be an unconventional woman, and she really wanted to follow to see which man in the world could marry her so happily. Yan Lang sighed.
"I want to marry in such a beautiful way in the future. Lan Lan clasped her hands in front of her chest, fantasizing that she was sitting in the gorgeous sedan chair, with a look of envy.
"Mm-hmm, everybody wants that. Huang Xiaopan was also full of anticipation.
"Hey, wake up, hurry up!" Bai Xin and Tong Jun had already walked away, calling for Yan Lang and the others to hurry up!
The sun is gradually sinking in the west, and Bai Xin and a few people have already arrived at the foot of Luohuagang, but if they enter the post at this moment, they will definitely have to spend the night in Luohuagang tonight. Huang Xiaopan insisted that Bai Xin rest at the foot of the mountain, and she seemed very afraid of the big cat in the granite. Bai Xin and the others also took care of Lan Lan, so they lit a fire and rested at the foot of the mountain in Luohuagang.
"Xiaopan, have you ever seen a big cat?" asked Bai Xin, a few people sitting around the campfire.
"Of course not, if I had seen it, I wouldn't be sitting here talking to you right now!"
"Why?" Yan Lang asked, puzzled.
"Of course, it was eaten by a big cat! Let me tell you, Uncle Liang of our village has seen it, and he said that big cats are terrifying, they have three eyes! Each eye is as big as a copper bell, and the big cat's mouth can be opened to swallow a seven or eight-year-old child directly to the bone!" Huang Xiaopan said in a similar way.
"Then your uncle Liang has seen a big cat, why hasn't it been eaten, and he can go back and tell you what the big cat looks like?"
"Uncle Liang is a master in our village, and he can fight a draw with the black bear with his bare hands. The big cat saw Uncle Liang and was about to pounce, but was scared by Uncle Liang's roar. ”
"Hahahaha. Yan Lang laughed loudly: "I thought there was really a big cat, but now it seems that your good uncle is bluffing you, right?"
Being ridiculed by Yan Lang, Huang Xiaopan stood up angrily: "Don't believe it, the adults of the village say that dozens of people will be eaten by this big cat every year in Luohuagang!"
"That's a lie to you kids, isn't it?"
"Aren't you also a child!I see that you mean that when you see the big cat, you will be the first to scare away!Hmph~" Huang Xiaopan said angrily.
Yan Lang also loves to quarrel with her: "Then let's go into the post now and see if we can meet this big cat!"
"I won't go with you, if I do, my life will be gone. ”
"Yan Lang, don't mess with Xiaoban. Tong Jun saw that Huang Xiaopan's angry little face was flushed, and hurriedly persuaded him.
Yan Lang pursed his lips and began to stroke the green dragon intently, no longer speaking.
