"What's going on here? What a kind girl, many disasters. Old man, take this girl back to her room. ”

The couple saved Wanning again.

By the faint candlelight, the old man looked at Wanning who was unconscious: "This girl is wearing a wedding dress again, what is the matter?" ”

The mother-in-law echoed: "What a good girl, she has worn two wedding dresses, but she has not married herself off yet." How could this girl's fate be so bumpy? ”

"Let her have a good rest. Let's stop arguing with her and get out. The old man walked out as he spoke, stretching out his hand to signal his mother-in-law to go out. After the two of them went out, they gently closed the door.

It is not difficult to imagine how lively and grand the scene is in today's Gaofu. For a wealthy family like the Gao family, decency naturally comes first. The mansion gathered officials of all sizes, as well as gentry from all walks of life, and almost half of the well-known figures in Chang'an City came.

The marriage of the two important ministers was overwhelmed by people who came to congratulate him. For some officials, it is also an opportunity to climb the dragon and join the phoenix. The huge courtyard of the Gaofu is full of banquets, and the guests are happy and happy.

Gao Ziang wore a scarlet groom's dress and toasted relatives and friends one by one.

In the cave room, the beams are covered with delicate painted lanterns and red silk flowers. The big red candle is mixed with spices, and the fragrance is overflowing when burned. The embroidered satin quilt is covered with red dates, peanuts, longan, and lotus seeds, which means "early birth of a noble son".

Poor Wanning could not afford this grand wedding. And Li Wanying, who was sitting on the bed in the new house, looked at everything in front of her, and forgot any hatred, as if she was married at this moment. She naturally thought of the groom, how handsome he should be in the groom's clothes. A good family education since childhood, and the emperor's appreciation, seeing that the woman's gaze is so soft, Wanying thinks that such a good man should belong to her.

Gao Ziang, who was already drunk, couldn't wait to return to the cave room to see his sister Wan. As he staggered closer to the bride, his heart pounded and he made a trembling voice: "Sister Wan, your brother and I are here." He immediately threw himself down on the bride, and Wanying pushed him violently, and he sat up again. Gao Ziang flipped to the side, and for a moment, he got up and sat on the edge of the bed with difficulty, looked at the bride and said, "By the way, I haven't removed the red hijab yet." ”

He got up, took the wedding scale, and mustered up the courage to pick up the hijab on the bride's head. Looking at Wanying in front of him, he was shocked: "Why are you!" What about Wan Ning? ”

"You're so confident that Wanning wants to marry you? Maybe she's run away. ”

"What do you mean by that?"

Wanying got up and said slowly: "Wanning, she doesn't want to marry you, so she asks my sister to marry you for her." I am also the dignified lady of the Li family, what is not worthy of you! ”

Gao Ziang listened to what Wanying said, concluded that she must know Wanning's whereabouts, and asked casually, "What about Wanning?" ”

Wanying did not answer.

"I ask you, what about Wanning?" Gao Ziang's voice became stern.

"Anyway, it's already candle night in our cave room, so it doesn't hurt to tell you." Wanying sat down at the round table, poured herself a glass of water, Meimei drank it, put down the teacup before saying, "I gave her to a man." ”

Gao Ziang couldn't wait to ask, "Where is that man?" But seeing that Wanying was silent, he shouted anxiously: "Say!" ”

"What are you yelling at? I'm now the wife you're marrying! ”

"I don't listen to your nonsense, where is that man?"

Wanying turned her face away and said reluctantly, "He met me in Qinfang Pavilion and was in the pimping business. But for Wanning's sake, for the sake of Wanning being my sister, I didn't let him sell Wanning to the Qinglou, and Wanning would be released tomorrow. ”

Man, pimp, Qinglou, Gao Ziang almost went crazy when he heard these words. He took off his groom's clothes, slammed it to the ground, and ran away from the door.

Yi'er heard a quarrel in the young master's room, and paced in the courtyard with concern. Seeing the young master come out, he immediately greeted him and looked at the young master with doubts.

Gao Zi raised his eyes and looked ahead, and a low voice came out under his handsome but sad face: "Yi'er, the bride is not Wanning. Wan Ning is very dangerous now, it is possible to be sold to the Qinglou, tell her father, and send someone to inform Uncle Li, telling them to send someone to search immediately. ”

Yi'er was also startled and immediately took action.

And Gao Ziang himself took a team of people and went to the streets where the lights were bright first, and searched one by one overnight.

After Li Zhenghang and Gao Junming learned the news, they first checked the Qinglou business under their respective names, but did not find Wanning. After that, I also searched other small-scale green buildings and brothels, but still didn't find Wanning.

In desperation, the three of them could only look outward little by little, even if it was to find all over Chang'an City.

The night sky had begun to lighten, and Gao Ziang, who had been looking for Gao Ziang all night, had slowed down his horseback riding significantly. After a night of worry, the more he looked for it at this moment, the more confused he became, and he even had some despair, Wanning, where are you?

Riding his horse for a while, he cheered up again and found Wanning no matter what. Just as he wanted the horse to run, he saw an old man smoking firewood, and he wanted to go up and ask about it.

Gao Ziang, who didn't have much hope, stepped forward and asked, "Uncle, have you seen a girl passing by here?" ”

The old man raised his eyes and looked at him: "You are his brother?" ”

Hearing the old man's question, Gao Ziang wondered, how did this old man who lived far away in the suburbs know about me? He looked at it intently, and it turned out that he was the old man who left me to stay with Wanning last time. He looked up at his surroundings again, didn't he? It's the farmhouse I stayed in last time. ''Uncle, you remember me, I am her brother.'' ’’

"You didn't take good care of your sister."

Hearing this, he seemed to have eyebrows, and he knew Wanning's situation. Gao Ziang's eyes brightened, and he only heard the old man continue: "She is pitiful, she fainted on the side of the road last night, fortunately I saw it in time, otherwise no one would know that she was eaten by a wild wolf." ”

Gao Ziang followed the old man into the house and saw Wanning, and was very excited. looked at Wanning, who was covered in injuries and unconscious, and her wedding dress was also scraped several times. He desperately hugged Wan Ning tightly in his arms, tears in the corners of his eyes. "Men don't flick when they have tears", but he was really distressed when he saw Wanning like this.

The old man looked at him and said, "How can you let your sister look like this when you are so distressed?" ”

After a long time, Gao Ziang was finally willing to put Wanning down and lie down, and he responded: "Yes, uncle, it's all my fault." ”

"Let her have a good rest, and you can come out and rest too."

Gao Ziang held Wanning's hand in the palm of his hand and said, "I want to accompany her step by step." ”
