Chapter 212: Street Accidents
The next day, Yu Ren got up early in the morning. In fact, the people in the entire Li Mansion got up very early. Because today is the day of their eldest lady's wedding, everyone has a lot of things to do.
Compared with others, Yu Ren has become an idler. So, he casually ate some breakfast and came to Li Ying's small courtyard to report. Li Ying seemed to be in a good mood, but when she saw Aunt Xiao sent by her father, her face immediately changed, and she pretended to be extremely unhappy.
Aunt Xiao also brought four young daughters-in-law to dress up Li Ying. Li Ying disagreed.
"My eldest lady! What an important day you say! How can you not dress up at all! Aunt Xiao saw that Li Ying was stubborn and very anxious.
"I don't want to get married, why should I dress up."
At this time, a young daughter-in-law next to her said, "We know the thoughts of the eldest lady." You must not look down on that Zheng Xiaoguan. We can all see this. To tell you the truth, if I were you, I wouldn't look down on him. But you have to think about it! Whether you agree with it or not, the lord still wants you to get married. This arm can't always twist the thigh. Instead of being forced to get married in pain, it is better to open up and worship happily.
I heard that the young lady's favorite Yu Xianggong also came to Hirado. I think that today he will also come to see the young lady get married. Regardless of whether he can snatch Miss away or not, if he sees Miss this haggard appearance, he must be distressed! ”
Li Ying's heart jumped at the last few words of this little daughter-in-law, and she tried her best to endure the urge to see Yu Ren. She knew that although there were rumors outside that Yu Ren had arrived in Hirado, no one had actually seen him, and it was just a rumor.
Since Zheng Zhilong was secretly set up a trap that time, he mobilized all the forces he could to hunt down Yu Ren and his comrades throughout the city. Jiang Jiulang was covered by his father, Zheng Zhilong didn't dare to do anything to him for the time being, but how could the other Zheng Zhilong let him go.
Especially the little Taoist priest dressed up by Yu Ren. Although Zheng Zhilong only saw him in a hurry, he would never forget it. He vowed to dig him up and tear him into pieces. Because without this person's help, Jiang Jiulang would not be able to do it even if he wanted to plot against himself. Because he is now a waste.
Li Ying originally planned to cooperate with them, otherwise how would she have the opportunity to go out of the city to Matsu Temple, if she didn't go to Matsu Temple, how could she have a chance to get out with Yu Ren. However, you can't be too positive, otherwise you will arouse the suspicion of others. At this time, seeing that the little daughter-in-law was very good at talking, she pushed the boat along the river, pretending to be persuaded by everyone, and was half-pushed and half-pressed by them in front of the dresser.
Yu Ren sat in the courtyard, leisurely drinking his tea, as if everything around him had nothing to do with him.
When Chen Zheng arrived, Li Dan sent someone to urge him and asked Li Ying if she was ready.
Aunt Xiao hurriedly took Li Ying to the front yard. Yu Ren followed Li Ying's body closely, pretending to be close protection.
The pomp and circumstance of the Li Mansion was really large, and three or four hundred people had already gathered in the front yard at this time, and there were forty or fifty cars parked outside the door.
At this time, the welcoming team personally led by Zheng Zhilong had also arrived outside the door.
After a lot of noise and bargaining over the customs, the door finally opened. So, everyone hugged this couple and went to the Matsu Temple outside the city.
Although Li Ying was extremely reluctant to stand with Zheng Zhilong, she had to endure it for the time being. Fortunately, this Zheng Zhilong is quite honest, and he also knows that Li Ying is very disgusted with himself, and he did not move to hold Li Ying's hand, otherwise, Li Ying is really afraid that he will not be able to control it, and will reach out to give him a slap.
Li Dan also followed behind the team, and his carriage was a luxurious four-horse carriage.
When the Li family's team left the Li Mansion, all the men, women and children in the city came to see the excitement. You must know that although Li Dan is just a businessman, he is equivalent to the lord of the city here in Hirado. Although the Japanese imperial court has officials here, most of these officials also follow Li Dan's orders.
In Hirado, Li Ying, the eldest lady of the Li Mansion, is like a princess in their hearts. Today, the princess of Hirado Castle is going to get married, so how could they miss such an opportunity.
There were many people on both sides of the street, but there was no laughter. The people of the whole city were talking, and everyone had already spread the word that the person Li Ying really liked was a Quanzhou man named Yu Ren, not this kid surnamed Zheng.
Although Zheng Zhilong has only been in Hirado for a year or two, many people still know him. There are also those who know that he was once close to Reiko Nishijima. Everyone thinks that Li Dan is really blindsided by marrying his daughter to such a figure this time.
As a result, although today is the day of Princess Hirado's wedding, there is no prolific joy and festive atmosphere in Hirado Castle, but a trace of sadness is everywhere.
The Li family's convoy and the welcoming convoy brought by Zheng Zhilong were slowly moving towards the outside of the city, and people stretched their necks to see the demeanor of this princess of Hirado. The carriage Li Ying was sitting in today was specially designed and had no roof, and she sat side by side with Zheng Zhilong, while Yu Ren wore a silver mask and stood tightly behind Li Ying.
Li Ying leaned her body outward as much as she could, although Zheng Zhilong wanted to get closer to Li Ying, she was afraid of the silver-faced man behind her Yu Ren. He felt that the silver-faced man's gaze was like a knife, so sharp that people didn't dare to look at it.
Just as the convoy was about to leave the city, a man suddenly rushed out and stopped the convoy.
"Master, you can't marry the eldest lady to this surnamed Zheng. He was a real hypocrite, and he had an affair with that woman for a long time. You must take my word for it! ”
The convoy was suddenly stopped and had to stop. When everyone saw that someone dared to stop the Li family's convoy, they all stretched their necks curiously to see who this bold figure was.
Li Ying's car was in second place, and Yu Renxun, who was following Li Ying, saw that it was none other than Jiang Jiulang, who was under house arrest by his father. Yu Ren was a little surprised, he thought that Jiang Jiulang had not dared to come out since he was beaten home by his father that time. didn't expect this kid to dare to run out, and chose to block the way at such an important time.
Yu Ren secretly admired in his heart, although Jiang Jiulang, this kid, was physically disabled, but his psychology was by no means disabled. What he did made him well-deserved to the word "man" - for the sake of a woman he loved but couldn't get, he didn't hesitate to die.
These are exactly the qualities that a real man should have; A real man should do whatever it takes to dream in his heart, even if it is to give his life for it.
At this time, Jiang Jiulang desperately hugged the leg of the carriage that opened the road, and the driver recognized him, knowing that he was the son of the chief manager, and he didn't dare to whip him, and he didn't dare to urge the horse, for fear that he would be injured by the horse, so he had to stop. The convoy behind naturally stopped together.
Zheng Zhilong watched this scene quietly, but did not speak, but his face was pale.
At this time, two big men jumped out of a car behind Li Ying and them, and judging from their figures, Yu Ren recognized them as one of the six masked men who besieged him the day before yesterday.
The two came to the front of the carriage and saw that the person holding the horse's leg was Jiang Jiulang, so they couldn't help but turn their heads to look at Zheng Zhilong. They all knew Jiang Jiulang and knew that he was Jiang Fuxiang's only son. Jiang Fuxiang is the chief manager of the Li Mansion, and he is also Li Dan's most trusted person, although his brother is about to become the Li Mansion's fast son-in-law, but if the chief manager is offended too harshly, it will definitely not be of any good. So, they all hesitated, not knowing whether to start.
Zheng Zhilong, who was standing in the carriage, was annoyed by Jiang Jiulang's behavior and hated to kill this kid alive, but he still shook his head gently to the two righteous brothers calmly.
"What's going on, why did the front stop?" At this time, Jiang Fuxiang also rushed over from behind, but he didn't hear his son's voice.
Jiang Jiulang saw his father coming at this time, and he was not afraid. It seems that he is out of the way today, and he just clung to the horse's leg without saying a word.
Jiang Fuxiang saw that it was his son who made trouble, and he couldn't help but be angry. rushed up and gave his son a kick.
