Chapter 31: Marriage
Because of that incident, Lin Mujie didn't go down the mountain for a while, she lived in the wooden house with good food and drink, there was nothing bad about it, and she didn't have to look at the face of the peerless handsome guy, which made her feel that it was a good thing to come to her aunt for the first time in her history.
It's a pity that the good times didn't last long, about a week, this good life was gone, Li Sijia returned to the thatched house in the back mountain, Tu Zhi would also sway in front of her from time to time, occasionally damaging her two sentences, only Maoya, treat her well as always.
"Sister Mu Jie, hurry up, we have to go down the mountain to do the task." Maoya stood outside Lin Mujie's door and knocked on the door, and whispered inside.
This voice was a little unexpected, so that Lin Mujie, who was still lying on the bed, was suddenly startled, she sat up straight from the bed like a wooden person, looked ahead and muttered: "Yes, I have to go on a mission today, otherwise I ......" The stinky fox had to come in and bother her again.
She got up quickly, and after a simple grooming, she immediately took Cat's fleshy paws and left, she was afraid that if she slowed down, the stinky fox would come out of nowhere to embarrass her.
It was still the same way down the mountain, but the weeds on the road that were almost half a man tall had been cleared at some point, and she turned her head to look at Maoya, hoping that he would give her an answer.
"It's Brother Wang, Sister Sijia will come to see you from time to time these days, Brother Wang probably doesn't want Sister Sijia to be too tired, so he cleaned up the weeds on this section of the road that is more difficult to walk on the downhill road little by little, and also made a simple mud ladder."
It turned out that Wang Yicheng did it specifically for Li Sijia, a good man, Li Sijia was able to marry him, it seems that she didn't marry the wrong person, inexplicably, she was a little proud, because this loving couple was firmly together at her insistence.
After going down the mountain, she was a little hesitant, should she try her luck at the Wenxiang Tavern? Maybe she can meet Lin Mojiang and eat and drink, but she broke up with him a few days ago, if she really met him, how would she speak? Or are you waiting for him to take the initiative to speak? In this case, it seems that she is a little hypocritical?
After thinking about it for a long time, she couldn't think of a way to get the best of both worlds, she sighed, let's go to Linjia Town first, as for whether to go to him or not, it depends on how God arranges it.
Coming to the street, the street is full of people coming and going, this long-lost sense of excitement makes her inexplicably excited, maybe she has stayed in the wooden house for too long, except for Li Sijia every day, it is a big and a small two monsters, missing the breath of life that belongs to human beings.
Suddenly, an even more lively noise came from behind her, accompanied by the sound of gongs and drums, and she didn't know what was happening behind her for a while, but she picked up Maoya and stood aside with the others, making way for a main road.
It didn't take long for her to see a groom riding a horse past her eyes, it turned out that someone was married today, she couldn't help but look at the groom, the groom's facial features, not exquisite, can only say general, the complexion is still dark, when sitting on horseback, you can actually see his belly bulging slightly, there should be a "beer belly", in general, the appearance is average, the figure is average, I just don't know that the family property is not ordinary, but, from the size of the welcoming team, even if it is not rich, it should not be bad.
It's just that she looked puzzled at the red ball hanging on the horse's head mixed with a third of the white, wasn't white considered unlucky by the ancients? So why did it appear at such a festive wedding?
She thought about it and felt that maybe this was the custom here, not that there is a saying that ten miles are different and a hundred miles are different.
After thinking about it, she didn't dwell on this problem, but thought about whether she should follow and see, saying that she had never seen this ancient and traditional way of marrying whether she was or was, if she followed the past this time, she could open her eyes, maybe she could also please some good luck, and complete three or five more tasks for herself, so that Maoya could add more cultivation.
Seeing Lin Mujie holding herself and following behind the welcoming team, Maoya hugged her neck with two paws, leaned into her ear and whispered, "Sister Mujie, should we follow?" ”
She replied in a low voice, "Yes, let's join in the fun, anyway, we are idle now." ”
Join in the fun, okay, he likes it the most, maybe there is something to eat, Maoya looked at the greeting team in front of him with bright eyes.
After walking a little with the welcoming procession, she saw that the people playing gongs and drums behind her finally stopped, she squeezed to the front, although she couldn't see the bride's appearance, but she looked at the figure was also good, she wanted to know if the bride was weak or fat and strong.
But when she squeezed to the front, she looked up and saw that two big characters of Lin Mansion appeared in front of her, Lin Mansion? She looked at these words in surprise, and thought to herself, could this Lin Mansion be Lin Mojiang's home? looks really magnificent, not like an ordinary family.
When she was in a daze, she remembered the whispers of the two people next to her, and immediately pulled her thoughts back, and the natural gossip made her prick up her ears and secretly listen to the conversation between the two.
"What? Are you saying that the reason why the eldest man of the Li family hurriedly married was because the eldest son of the concubine had a difficult birth, and he wanted to cover up the past with the matter of marrying? Aunt Ji looked at Aunt A next to her in surprise.
"Sort of, in fact, the main thing is to divert attention, he himself was the eldest son of Master Li, and before he married a wife, the concubine was pregnant, and Master Li wanted to give birth to a child, because that's how he came.
But Mrs. Liu said that if she did this, someone with a heart might take advantage of this to expose to the top that the upper beam of the Li Mansion was not right and the lower beam was crooked, and Master Li spoiled his concubine and killed his wife, and the same was true for his eldest son. "Aunt A looks like I know everything about this, so that Lin Mujie on the side wants to go over and join in the fun, gossip, not only to pass the time, but also to satisfy people's curiosity.
"Oh, I see." Aunt has a sudden realization, it seems that she doesn't plan to ask, there is no echo, Aunt A is not interested, and she doesn't seem to want to say much, after all, a one-man show is not so easy to sing.
At this time, Lin Mujie couldn't help but go out.
She quietly moved to Aunt Jia's side, and asked in a low voice: "Auntie, I want to ask, the eldest son of the groom's official concubine has just disappeared, and he hurriedly marries, that child should not be ......"
Aunt A didn't speak, stared at her for a long time, and then looked at the people next to her, and found that no one was looking at her, so she quietly gave her a thumbs up.
Lin Mujie was shocked, it turned out that the child's death was really not an accident, it was deliberately done by someone, and the reason was what Mrs. Liu said.
In this way, the white in the red ball on the head of the horse that the bridegroom is riding should have nothing to do with customs, but the bridegroom is paying tribute to his dead child and the concubine who gave birth to him in this way.
Aunt A saw that she seemed to be very interested in this matter, and she was also interested, and came to her and took the initiative to say: "I also heard that this also has the meaning of joy, after all, that kind of thing is not good, otherwise, this family affair should be carried out next month." ”
Lin Mujie nodded frequently, and seemed to think of something later, and asked in a low voice: "Auntie, which girl from the Lin Mansion is this Li family marrying?" ”
"You don't even know that?" Aunt A looked incredible.
Lin Mujie nodded, she hadn't been on the street for the past few days, how could she know what was going on, besides, she didn't know many people here, even if she went to the street, there was no way to get information.
Aunt A looked at Lin Mujie who had nothing inexplicably, making the latter really speechless, isn't it just a gossip, and it is worth her to be like this.
"Let me tell you, the eldest man of the Li family is married to Miss Lin of the Lin family, named Lin Xinyi."
Lin Xinyi, this name is a little familiar? Lin Mujie frowned and thought about it for a long time without a clue, but Maoya reminded her.
"That sister."
Yes, she remembered that Lin Xinyi was not Lin Mojiang's sister, she had a little unpleasant trouble with her not long ago, she didn't expect her to get married so soon, or marry that kind of person.
Soon the bride was picked up, it was Lin Mojiang who carried her on the sedan chair, the moment before entering the sedan chair, Lin Xinyi refused to let go of the hand holding Lin Mojiang's neck, and finally with the help of the matchmaker, she didn't know what to say in her ear, Lin Xinyi reluctantly let go and entered the sedan chair, and the moment she let go, she clearly saw the reluctance and confusion on his face.
After the bride entered the sedan chair, the welcoming team continued to walk forward, the team did not plan to turn back, but took a detour back to the Li Mansion, and Lin Mojiang watched the sedan chair disappear in his sight from beginning to end, before turning around and walking back, and accidentally saw a person in the crowd holding a black and white panda, he immediately rushed over.
When he saw that standing in front of him was Lin Mujie, whom he hadn't seen for a few days, he blinked, the feeling that he hadn't seen her for too long, and suddenly missed her very much, made him can't help but open his arms to her, he hugged her, and said in a faintly sobbing hoarse voice on her shoulder: "Just because of the family responsibility, she married someone she didn't like...... And I, soon, will marry a woman I don't like, what to do, I don't want to marry her. ”
Whether he wants to marry Wan Yiyi or not is none of her business, but it is her business to hug her in public, didn't she see those eight women looking at her like an old man? If he didn't let go, she even suspected that something might happen to her later.
"Let go first, otherwise my reputation will be ruined by you, and your family will not let me go."
A word woke up the person in the dream, and Lin Mojiang, who realized it later, immediately let go of his hand, looked at her with apologetic eyes for a moment, and said: "I'm sorry, I recognized the wrong person just now." With that, he hurried away.
