As soon as he saw the red and gorgeous scenery in front of him, he shouted "Wow, it's so beautiful", and then he jumped and ran over, playing with the red lanterns and the red silk under the corridor, and had a lot of fun. When I first went out to see this scene, I was worried that this scene would remind Li'er of some bad memories, but I didn't expect that she didn't mind it anymore, but it made me happy.

Pei Yuanxiu also smiled, and said in my ear: "Look at it, isn't this a happy event?" ”

“……”

"Don't worry too much about you."

I glanced at him and smiled, "You're more verbose than me." ”

The two of them walked forward while talking and laughing, and just happened to see another road, Liu Qinghan and Wen Fengxi were also talking in a low voice, and walked towards this side of the road. It seems that for today's happy event, and the weather is getting cooler, the two of them also bought new clothes. Liu Qinghan was wearing a dark blue robe with a jade-colored belt, and Wen Fengxi was wearing a jade-colored brocade robe.

As soon as Li'er saw Liu Qinghan, she immediately ran over: "Third uncle! ”

Maybe it's because today is a big day, everyone's faces are full of joy, even the mask on Liu Qinghan's face seems to be smiling, and he said with a smile: "Li'er got up so early? ”

"Well, Daddy and Mother said that today is a happy event."

"Yes, happy event."

He raised his head as he spoke, his face was still smiling, and Pei Yuanxiu and I also walked in front of them.

Although I know that there is not much harmony between each other, but after all, today is a happy event, so the atmosphere is still quite pleasant, even Wen Fengxi, who has been full of thoughts and not smiling since entering Sichuan, is full of smiles, and everyone said hello to each other as soon as they met.

At this time, several attendants also came to invite us, and we all walked forward together.

When I walked to the hall, I swept away the snow white and cold of the mourning hall before, and the red became a sea of flames, and the whole wedding hall was arranged extremely festively, especially the four big lanterns under the eaves of the main entrance, which were huge and red, and the colorful tassels that were knotted below swayed lightly with the wind, fluttering and particularly beautiful. All the servants in the hall were also dressed in new clothes, wearing bright red belts, busy inside and out, and everyone was smiling.

Pei Yuanxiu smiled: "Look, it looks like a happy event now, right?" ”

If you talk about happy events, this is exactly what it should be.

I smiled and looked around, only to see that in the center of the hall, a somewhat familiar red figure was bowing to the people who had come to congratulate him, and his young and handsome face was full of happy smiles.

It is Pei Yuanfeng, today's groom official.

Dressed in red, he is exceptionally handsome and upright, and his expression is radiant, especially the tiger eyes are extraordinarily bright, compared to the reckless and honest Xiao Wu in the palace back then, the heroic young general on the battlefield, the man in front of him has faded away from the immaturity of a teenager, and has a little more charm of a mature man, which makes people feel nostalgic.

It's been so long since I returned to Chengdu, and I also know that he has his own mansion, but after all, his identity is extraordinary for the Yan family, so the marriage is still done for him in the Yan family's main house, and Yan Qingchen tried his best to win him over.

As soon as the person who said hello to him walked away, Pei Yuanxiu and I walked forward with Li'er.

As soon as he saw us, a smile immediately appeared on his face.

"Congratulations, groom."

"Thank you."

While we were talking, I pulled Li'er behind me over, she was holding a half-sized brocade box in her arms, looked at Pei Yuanfeng with wide eyes, and said, "Congratulations to the fifth uncle." ”

Pei Yuanfeng immediately squatted down with a smile and said with a smile: "Thank you, Li'er." ”

Their uncle and nephew also had some unhappy memories, but Li'er was very obedient, and did not mention this matter again, today is Pei Yuanfeng's newlywed, of course he is also elated, took the brocade box and opened it, inside is a pair of delicately carved jade Ruyi, it is me and Pei Yuanxiu after visiting most of Chengdu City, finally found a slightly more satisfactory wedding gift.

I smiled and said, "This time I was in a hurry, and I couldn't prepare a gift." See smiled. ”

The wedding between him and Xue Muhua not only has a certain impact on those of us, but also on the future pattern of the whole world.

Not for anything else, just for what Pei Yuanxiu told me that day-

The more extraordinary a person is, the more he is criticized.

Think about it, what are we going to do to live so extraordinary?

Sometimes, the more vulgar, the happier.

And Pei Yuanfeng seemed to fully understand, looking at the pair of warm jade Ruyi, slowly closed the lid, and smiled at me: "Thank you for your congratulatory gift." As he spoke, he whispered to me again: "Qingying, in fact, you have already given me the best gift. I, Pei Yuanfeng, am grateful! ”

I was a little surprised by his solemn thanks, and I was stunned, but I also understood.

He was talking about Huang Tianba.

Between him and Xue Muhua, there is no Huang Tianba to get to where he is now.

I promised them a possible happy future.

My throat choked at the thought of the emaciated, isolated figure, but I didn't say anything, just smiled indifferently.

Seeing that there were more and more guests coming here, Pei Yuanfeng handed over the brocade box to a waiter next to him and asked him to take it back and put it away, and said a few words to the person who came to say goodbye to him, I looked at him but there seemed to be something wrong, while the person who congratulated him walked away, when he took a cup of tea and drank his throat, I walked to him and whispered: "What's wrong?" ”

He looked at me, then around, and didn't answer me immediately, but there was a hint of worry in his eyes.

After a while, he said softly: "Yao Lao hasn't arrived yet." ”

"Oh?"

"The news of inviting him was sent a month ago, and we estimated the time, and we had already sent someone to meet him, but now, the person who picked him up has not returned."

"No news coming?"

"Nope."

I didn't speak, just frowned slightly.

However, looking around at the joyful scenes around me, as well as the happy smiling faces, I still comforted him and said: "The road into Sichuan is not easy to walk, maybe there is some delay." Don't worry, today is a good day for you after all, and Yao Lao will definitely arrive. ”

He looked at me, didn't speak, just nodded slightly.

The two of us didn't stay on this topic for long, seeing that another group of guests came to say goodbye, Pei Yuanfeng cheered up and went over to socialize one by one. At this moment, there was a commotion next to him, and when he looked back, it turned out that Yan Qingchen and Xue Qian had also walked to the lobby.

As soon as the host appeared, the people around him who came to congratulate him rushed up, and they came forward one after another to congratulate and flatter.

It is not an exaggeration to say that Xichuan is outside the rule of the Celestial Empire, which is equivalent to an independent dynasty, but Yan Qingchen, or my father, is more introverted, and has not given the people of the world an excuse to "condemn together" over the years, but their status in Xichuan is really nameless, and there are not so many etiquette, but they can see many people and things clearly.

Seeing that some people seemed to be looking for me, I slowly stepped aside, in an inconspicuous corner.

Just then, I saw Liu Qinghan also standing here, as if he was watching coldly.

The two looked at each other and smiled faintly.

After standing for a while, watching the people in the hall bustling and lively, this corner became more and more lonely. Liu Qinghan stood for a while, as if to break the awkward silence, and said with a smile: "I have known my wife so far, I really can't imagine that my wife was born in such a prosperous place, and she is extremely rich." ”

"Oh?" The corners of my mouth hooked: "Why?" ”

"A woman born in a splendid bush, even if she is not arrogant, is somewhat delicate." As he spoke, his eyes couldn't help but look at Li'er, this girl is now surrounded by a few young sons from big families in Xichuan, and she has restored her "true nature of a witch", I couldn't help but smile faintly, and I heard Liu Qinghan say: "But madam, but not at all." I look at Madame's words and deeds, and everyone talks about you, it seems that Madame has suffered a lot in the past. ”

I turned around and glanced at him.

"Madame can get to this point, it seems that it is natural, but it is really not easy for this government to think."

“……”

I haven't forgotten that he had always wanted to ask me about his past and me, and now these words seemed to be a test of something.

I thought about it for a while, and smiled indifferently: "Probably because I have great joy in my heart." ”

"Great joy?"

I have great joy in my heart, cleansing all the evils in the world, and smashing the filth. Although the eyes can see, the ears can hear sounds, and the mouth can distinguish tastes, the eyes are not greedy for color, the ears are not greedy for sound, the nose is not greedy for fragrance, the tongue is not greedy for taste, and the body is not greedy for smoothness......

When he muttered this passage silently, another gentle, low, slightly hoarse voice sounded - it was my mother. On many nights, in the face of my crying and fighting, she would calmly stroke my hair, wipe away my tears, and read this sentence softly.

When I was a child, I didn't seem to understand where her calm and indifference came from, but now, after going through so much, I feel how difficult it is for my mother to be able to read those words.

When I woke up from the memories, I frowned slightly at Liu Qinghan, as if I wanted to see something real from me, but I really couldn't tell the difference.

After a while, he suddenly smiled and said: "This mansion has experienced some changes, and I have forgotten the past, but I think that although Madame has not forgotten, it seems to be similar to this mansion......"

“……”

I paused, looked at him, and then smiled: "Lord Liu's eyes are like torches." ”

He raised an eyebrow: "What did Madame forget?" ”

"Forget about it."

"Oh? Completely forgot about ......."

He looked at me faintly, his tentative gaze flickering a little, and at that moment, a loud voice sounded in the doorway—

"There's a guest here!"

Originally, everyone was talking and laughing, the hall was noisy, and the deacons of several powerful families and big chaebols in Xichuan had already arrived, and it was not surprising that there were guests coming, but this time, the people in the hall seemed to have been pulled by something, and everyone subconsciously looked out of the door.

At the bottom of the stairs, a man slowly walked up.

This person is about the age of his early thirties, not too handsome, but his temperament seems calm and capable, like a rich son with a good family education, and gives people a feeling of being easy to get close to.

But what I could see clearly at a glance was the several guards following him, one of them had a cold and upright face, with a stern expression that did not smile, not too familiar, but at the moment I saw it clearly, it was almost suffocated.

That's - Du Yan!?

I almost subconsciously reached out and rubbed my eyes, and then opened my eyes to see, that's right, that cold face was indeed the one who escorted me and Shui Xiu and Xiao Fuzi out of the palace to the Dulai Pavilion, and was secretly scolded and ridiculed by Shui Xiu behind his back because of the disagreement in his words, but later, he actually bought the chain that Shui Xiu saw in the Dulai Pavilion and gave it to Du Yan, the guard of Shui Xiu!

He, isn't he a member of the Praetorian Guard? How did it come out here?

If he showed up, then the guest he was guarding was-
