Xiangzhou, Dunhuang City.

Today is the day of Ning Xiaochuan and Yu Xining's wedding, why it dragged on until August, it has to start with Yu Xining's father Yu Baijie.

As the general of Dafeng Dingbei, Ning Xiaochuan of the Xiangzhou Military Division wants to marry the daughter of the Qingzhou pastor of the dynasty, which is a big deal for both the Ning family and the Yu family.

Since it is a major event, the etiquette cannot be less, the order of the parents, the words of the matchmaker, this is not too much.

So after discussing with the eldest brother Ning He, Ning Xiaochuan and Yu Xining each wrote a handwritten letter and asked the messenger to send it to Qingzhou.

Xiangzhou is far away from Qingzhou, and the messenger along the way is fast, and he does not dare to delay at all, even so, after receiving the reply from Qingzhou Mu, it is also the beginning of August, and it is not the messenger who brings Lord Yu to reply, but Jiujiu.

At the beginning, Ning Xiaochuan traveled to Dafeng Zhuzhou and rescued Jiujiu, who was bullied by the pawn boss in Yangzhou, and after Shushan said goodbye, Jiujiu followed Yu Xiling to Qingzhou and became Yu Xining's personal maid.

Last year, the Ning family had an accident, Yu Xining and Kong Zhenxuan went to Yindu, and then went all the way north to Xiangzhou, while Jiujiu stayed in Qingzhou, this time Ning Xiaochuan wanted to marry Yu Xining, Yu Baijie, who had expected this result, asked Jiujiu to go to Xiangzhou with her letter.

When Ning Xiaochuan first came to Qingzhou, he fell in love with this son-in-law at a glance, and asked Jiujiu to return to Xiangzhou with his own handwritten letter, which was equivalent to giving Ning Xiaochuan a positive answer.

The marriage of the two was a joy for Ning He and Xiangzhou officials.

After all, Yu Xiling is the daughter of Qingzhou Mu, once the two get married, it means that Qingzhou and Xiangzhou will become in-laws, which is an excellent opportunity for Xiangzhou, which is not optimistic about the current political situation.

When he first came to Xiangzhou, Jiujiu was also full of curiosity, although he had expected the hardships in the northwest, but after seeing the Gobi beach and yellow sand hills around Dunhuang City, he was still a little shocked in his heart.

"Miss, Mr. Ning......"

When he first came to Ningfu, as soon as he got out of the carriage, Jiujiu happily rushed to Ning Yan and Yu Xining, pulled Yu Xining's arm, and smiled as if he had eaten honey.

"Miss, Ning Gongzi, congratulations, a lover will eventually become a family, Jiujiu is here to wish you a hundred years of good luck and an early birth to a noble son."

"Little girl, you'll say." Yu Xining's heart was happy when she heard it.

Today's Jiujiu is no longer the little girl who was bullied in Yangzhou at the beginning, and now she has become a slim girl.

Standing next to Yu Xining is like a sister, in fact, in Yu Xining's heart, she has always taken Jiujiu as her sister, and has never regarded her as a maid, Jiujiu has been suffering for more than ten years, and she should enjoy happiness.

"Jiujiu, did you bring Lord Yu's letter?" Ning Xiaochuan said softly.

Jiujiu nodded, and carefully took out the letter written by Yu Baijie to the two of them from the package behind him.

After reading Yu Baijie's letter, Ning Xiaochuan first smiled, and then showed a serious look.

Yu Xinling next to her asked puzzledly, "What's wrong?" Is it my father who disagrees? ”

Ning Xiaochuan chuckled and gently rubbed Yu Xining's head, "Lord Yu has agreed to our marriage." ”

"It's great that we can finally get married." Yu Xining excitedly hugged Ning Xiaochuan directly.

Ning Xiaochuan smiled helplessly, and after receiving the letter, he continued, "Lord Yu's letter said that the imperial court implements administration, and he has just arrived in Qingzhou in the past few months, and he is busy with affairs and it is inconvenient to leave, so I am afraid that I will not be able to come to Xiangzhou to watch us get married this time." ”

Yu Xining's originally excited expression faintly flashed a trace of loneliness, she was the only child in the family, but her father was not around on the day of marriage, more or less regret and loss.

Ning Xiaochuan looked at the change in Yu Xining's expression, and hugged her into his arms with a smile, "Don't worry, after the marriage, let's go to Qingzhou to see Lord Yu, I have to let everyone in the world know that I, Ning Xiaochuan, married you Ming Media is marrying." ”

Yu Xining nodded heavily, since Qingzhou first met Xiang Zhou and got married, the two of them have also experienced a lot, and Ning Xiaochuan's words undoubtedly gave Yu Xining the sense of security that she longed for the most.

Although the scale of Dunhuang Chengning Mansion is far less luxurious than Yin Du Ningfu, but under the careful decoration of the eldest sister-in-law Cheng Shuangshuang and the second sister Guan Yun'er, it also presents a festive appearance full of red clothes, and within a few days, the entire Dunhuang City echoes the news that the fifth young master of the Ning family is going to get married.

For the soldiers of Xiangzhou who have been in the bitter cold land of the northwest for a long time, this is undoubtedly a rare liveliness.

Especially the Divine Tiger Army and the Flying Leopard Army under the command of Ning Xiaochuan, the soldiers were even more happy, and after the weekday training, they were clamoring to go to Dunhuang to see what the fifth lady looked like, to see if it was as beautiful as General Lu Yi said.

Standing at the head of Dunhuang City, Ning Xiaochuan looked into the distance.

Yu Xining followed behind and asked softly, "To the south?" Looking at Yindu? ”

"I'm thinking about my mom and dad." Ning Xiaochuan said calmly, the breeze blew, and his long hair flew.

Yu Xining took a few steps forward, stood beside Ning Xiaochuan, and said softly, "Then let's go back to Yindu after we get married, I am also the daughter-in-law of the Ning family now, and I should also go to the grave of my father-in-law and mother-in-law to burn incense." ”

Ning Xiaochuan turned around and hugged Yu Xining into his arms.

"Okay."

She smiled lightly and snuggled in the heart of her sweetheart, and the two stood at the head of the city and looked at the south for a long time.

After getting off the city, the two returned to Ning Mansion together, and Yu Xining asked, "Ning Xiaochuan, I remember that you once said that you were rescued by a Buddhist monk when you were in Beiban, and that master said that your fate with Buddhism is not over, I want to know, do you believe in this fate?" ”

Ning Xiaochuan said calmly, "If you believe it, you will have it, and if you don't believe it, you will not have it." ”

She covered her mouth and smiled.

"What are you laughing at?" Ning Xiaochuan asked curiously.

Yu Xining looked back and said, "My name is Yu Xining, Xi Ning is also Xi Ning, since the day I was born, I was destined to have your existence, is this our fate?" ”

Ning Xiaochuan was amused and suddenly smiled, and said, "Xi Ning, if we have a child in the future, how about leaving the name to you?" ”

She blinked her eyes and asked with a red face, "Then you're not afraid that I'll give her a cat and a dog name?" ”

Ning Xiaochuan said in a deep voice, "As long as it's your name, I like it." ”

Yu Xining laughed, gently punched Ning Xiaochuan in the chest, and pretended to be angry, "It's really poor." ”

Ning Xiaochuan looked at Yu Xining stupidly, and the scene in front of Qiancheng Mountain came to his mind.

On that day, he accidentally bumped into her bathing, and no one expected that he would marry her a few years later.

Looking at Ning Xiaochuan, Yu Xining lowered her head with a red face, and after a while, she raised her head again and kissed it gently.

The two of them are happy.

Back to Ningfu, the well-arranged Ningfu is elegant, peaceful and tranquil, just like the mansion in Yindu, the Ningfu compound here has also prepared a separate courtyard for Ning Yan, and in the courtyard, Jiujiu is helping them carefully arrange the new house with Lu Xiang.

In the room, there are elegant utensils, porcelain bottles, incense burners, everything, and even a feeling of copying the courtyard of Yindu.

Ning Xiaochuan gently took Yu Xining's hand, with tears in the corners of his eyes, "Xi Ning, from now on, this is our home." ”

……

On the wedding day, the streets of Dunhuang City were crowded with people, and the Ning Mansion was full of lights, festive and peaceful, so lively.

Parents are not there, the eldest brother is like a father, the eldest sister-in-law is like a mother, today's Ning He and his wife are wearing new clothes, and Ning He, who is used to wearing armor, wears new clothes of brocade and silk, and he is still a little unaccustomed.

As the groom's official, Ning Xiaochuan put on the red satin robe that had been prepared a long time ago, and after Lu Xiang next to him helped him finish sorting out his clothes, he covered his mouth and smiled, "The son is really handsome when he wears this new dress." ”

Ning Xiaochuan straightened his collar, nodded and chuckled, "Okay, the time is almost up, I'm ready to pick up the bride and worship the church." ”

……

At this time, Yu Xining sat in front of the bronze mirror, looking at her beautiful self in the mirror, and couldn't help laughing.

Yu Xining was dressed in a group of dancing gowns, wearing a lapis and gold crown, and her already unrefined temperament was even more beautiful under the blessing of this robe and colorful crown.

Jiujiu took the hijab, looked at the young lady who couldn't stop laughing, and smiled helplessly, "Okay, miss, don't laugh yet, you can see Ning Gongzi soon, the hour is almost up, it's time to cover your head and go to the church with Ning Gongzi." ”

"Stinky girl, you talk a lot." Yu Xining, who covered her hijab, said with a smile.

Jiujiu couldn't help but smile, and after a while, the voice of the housekeeper in the house came from outside the door, "The auspicious time has arrived, three gongs sound, welcome the bride." ”

"Bang, bang, bang."

After three gongs, Yu Xining slowly got up with the support of Jiujiu, and the moment she pushed open the door, a hundred music rang in unison.

Although the musicians of Dunhuang are not as good as the musicians of the Yindu Imperial Music Mansion, in this desolate northwest, with the moment the drum music of the two rows of musicians sounds, the sense of joy in the northwest is coming, and the drums are endless, and the gloom is bursting.

In the hall of the Ning Mansion, Ning Xiaochuan arrived first, quietly waiting for his future wife.

As the sound of suona sounded, a woman in a red dress in the distance walked slowly, with a graceful posture, dignified manners, and extraordinary temperament, just like a fairy descending from earth.

Looking at the woman in front of him, Ning Xiaochuan was a little stupid, the girl under the red hijab was his sweetheart.

Jiujiu helped Yu Xining to stop beside Ning Xiaochuan, and there was thunderous applause in an instant.

The second sister, Guan Yun'er, put a piece of red silk in the hands of the two of them, and said with a smile, "The two newcomers can visit the church." ”

Ning Xiaochuan bowed slightly, and pulled Yu Xiling towards the hall.

The hall of the Ning Mansion is not luxurious, but it is extremely neat, and the plaques of the ancestors of the Ning family are facing them, and the latest two are the old general and his wife, and on the chairs on both sides of the main hall, Ning He and Cheng Shuang are seated on both sides.

Seeing Ning Xiaochuan walking towards them, the two glanced at each other, and their eyes were red at the same time.

The two came to the center of the hall, the sound of ceremonial music sounded, and the housekeeper next to him shouted loudly, "In the third year of Dafeng Yongxi, on the seventeenth day of Guiyue, Ning Xiaochuan, the general of Dafeng Dingbei, and Qingzhou Yu's Xi Ning got married on Japan.

This day is a good couple, and now it is a good match. Autumn water silver hall mandarin ducks and wings, heavenly wind jade Yu Luan phoenix harmony; The purple flute blows the moon and soars to the phoenix, and the green sleeves dance in the wind; The newlyweds congratulate and perform three great salutes. ”

The applause at the scene was thunderous, and the housekeeper continued, "First worship, pray to the heavens and the right place, and tie the knot." ”

Ning Xiaochuan and Yu Xining arched their hands forward, turned around and bowed, and after getting up, they knelt on the ground and kowtowed; Worship heaven and earth, bow for worship, worship for rituals, all are indispensable.

"The second worship, worship the ancestors, the incense is prosperous."

The two turned around, and Ning Xiaochuan bowed to the eldest brother and sister-in-law with red eyes.

Ning He held back tears and nodded, and Cheng Huanhuan next to him was already excited to tears.

"The third worship, worship the mandarin ducks and wings, and grow old together."

The two turned around and bowed to each other through the hijab, and the three-bow ceremony ended, and the applause at the scene was endless.

"Licheng, enter the cave room, the guests are seated, and the seats are full."

Da Licheng, red silk led the way, and the two were about to leave, when a man dressed in black suddenly hurried through the crowd and came to Ning Xiaochuan.

Ning Xiaochuan recognized this as Feihong's subordinate at a glance, and a look motioned for him to leave, the man was helpless, and came to Ning He's side after giving his hand and spoke in a low voice.

Suddenly, Ning He's face changed suddenly, his breathing was short, and his fists were clenched and he trembled.

"Big brother? What happened to you? ”

Ning Xiaochuan looked back at Ning He and said suspiciously.

The scene suddenly quieted down, Yu Xining took off her hijab and said in a deep voice, "What's wrong?" ”

Cheng Shuangshuang next to him hurriedly got up and came to Ning He's side, puzzled, "What's wrong with you?" Today is Ogawa's wedding day, don't spoil the big thing. ”

Ning He got up, his voice trembling a little and said, "Your Majesty has died." ”
