Chapter 1: The Great Wedding
The continent is divided into Kyushu, and there are four countries above Kyushu, Dongda Zhou, South Lingjiang, Xining Zuo, and North Desert, and there are seven great families in the four countries, the East China Sea Xu family, the Langya Wang family, the Chen County Xie family, the Hongnong Yang family, the Lanling Xiao family, the Zhao County Li family, and the Fanyang Lu family.
In addition to the constant conflicts between countries, there are also undercurrents between the families and the imperial power.
The carriages and horses are endless, and the guests are full.
At this time, just after the civil strife in Lingjiang, Emperor Hui Gaoda forced his nephew Gao Yuan to abdicate and set himself up as the king to control the government. After the chaos, in order to appease the people, a large-scale wedding was held for Fan Yang Lu, who had always supported him.
The groom is the grandson of the long house of Fan Yang Lu, Lu Shixian. His father is the next head of the family, Lu Mian, and his mother is the daughter of Hongnong Yang. The bride is the daughter of the queen's mother's family, Chen Ruoyi.
It is common for the family to marry strongly, but it is rare that in addition to the noble status of the two, this is also a royal marriage.
Fanyang Lu's reputation is very high, and Lu Shixian is the eldest grandson, the future head of the family, and there will naturally be no shortage of guests. Even if the four countries have been facing each other for many years, as soon as the Lu family's wedding date came out, some famous families in the other three countries also came to congratulate them.
Xu Qingyang wore a veil, got off the carriage with the support of the guard Ming Qi, and stood beside Xu Jie. After many days of running, Xu Qingyang didn't feel tired at all, looking at the bright red through the tulle, he felt a little dazzling in his heart.
"The Xu family of the East China Sea family, send two golden hairpins, a pair of jade rings, six glass cups, two ancient books, Lord Xu, Miss Xu is a guest!"
When the words fell, everyone looked at Xu Qingyang's side, and the scene didn't seem to be as lively as just now. Mo'er, the servant girl who has served Xu Qingyang since childhood, was carefully supported by the side, and from the eyes of everyone, several people slowly entered the Lu Mansion, but the whispers of the rest of the people came from their ears.
"I really didn't expect that the Xu family would send someone too."
"What's wrong with the Xu family sending people, Lu Gongzi studied art in the Xu family when he was a child, and now someone should come to congratulate him on the wedding?"
"Naturally, there is no problem with the Xu family, but do you hear, it is Xu Qingyang! It is rumored that this Miss Xu has a deep love for Lu Gongzi! ”
"Huh? And here's the thing! ”
Xu Qingyang, who had just walked up the steps, was stunned for a moment when he heard the words of others. Xu Jie patted Xu Qingyang's shoulder and said,
"Look forward, go forward!"
There is a large garden between the main hall of the Lu Mansion and the backyard, and there is a lake in the garden. Xu Qingyang looked at the dress in the garden, and the familiarity made her a little uncomfortable.
The lake was originally intended to separate the women from the men at the beginning of the feast, but in order to make everyone happy, the Lu Mansion set up a banquet for men and women.
The maid who led the way was respectful all the way, until she hurriedly stuffed a handkerchief into Xu Qingyang's hand before taking a few people into their seats.
After taking a seat, the main hall was still noisy, the long yarn was blocked in front of Xu Qingyang, she quietly opened the handkerchief, and what randomly caught her eye was Xu Qingyang's most familiar handwriting,
"In this life, it will be repaid in the next life."
The simple eight words made Xu Qingyang's tears come out of his eyes, dripping on the handkerchief, wetting the handkerchief.
Xu Qingyang was a little flustered and quickly put away the handkerchief, but all this fell into the eyes of Xu Jie on the side.
"The past is a thing of the past, so why should you trap yourself in prison." Although Xu Jie's voice was low, it was listened to by Xu Qingyang word for word.
"It's my daughter's rudeness. Thank you to my father for his teachings. ”
The handkerchief hidden in her sleeve made Xu Qingyang a little uncomfortable, and the soft satin revealed a coolness, making her dare not move. It's as if it was those past events, which made her dare not think about it, and when she thought about it, her heart seemed to be pierced by a sharp weapon.
