Chapter 3: Robbing relatives on the street, the bride is so beautiful
After Xia Mu and Xia Qing instructed me to do something that didn't matter to me, they arranged for me to sneak out of the back door of her house, and then told me to take a detour to the main gate and wait for the pick-up team, and then follow the pick-up team to act when the opportunity came.
Coming out of the backyard of the Xia family and walking to the street, I didn't expect that the back of this Shenfu compound was so prosperous, and the merchants were next to each other, it seemed that this was the capital.
As I walked down the street, recalling the conversation with the two sisters of the Xia family, my mind was full of questions now, what dynasty was this, and why didn't I remember the name Tiantong? Did I cross over? Thinking back to the time I woke up to the present, including the people and things on the street, it was not the era I lived in. Also, Xia Qing told me that robbing relatives is very important to her family, and what is the matter with the fate of the people? Could it be that the emperor of today is absurd? But looking at the peaceful scene on this street, the people are not living in poverty, or is it because this is the foot of the Son of Heaven? I have too many doubts in my heart, but fortunately, I said to Xia Qing that after the matter is completed, I can ask her all my questions, and Xia Mu said to me, when I save the bride, the bride can also solve my doubts.
It seems that this Xia family is quite big, and I walked around the wall of the mansion for half an hour before I reached the front door, which is about dozens of acres of land.
When I walked to the main gate of the Xia Mansion, I found that the team to welcome the relatives had arrived, beating gongs and drums, and firecrackers were ringing in unison.
Looking at this welcoming procession, I knew that there could be such a big scene in ancient marriage. The procession to greet relatives from the door of Xia Mansion to the back row to the end of my street, which can really be described as ten miles of red makeup.
At the front of the team is a hundred musicians, suona gongs and drums are readily available, in front of the main gate of the Xia Mansion, there is a tall horse parked, and the groom should be sitting on it, that is, what is the thirteen princes, Yu Zheng, looking at it from a distance, this guy is quite handsome, wearing a yellow robe, showing the majesty and wealth of the royal family, wearing this big red flower on his chest, the whole person is in good spirits, waiting for the bride to get on the sedan chair.
Looking at the sedan chair behind the groom, the royal sedan chair with a yellow roof is also a sign of the groom's dignity, and a huge jewel on the top of the sedan chair seems to be worth a lot. There were thirty-two sedan chair drivers. There are several maids standing next to the sedan chair, also dressed in bright colors, also waiting for the bride to go out.
The people in the team behind the sedan chair are carrying boxes of things to the Xia Mansion, all of which are large boxes, with red silk tied on the boxes and the word "happiness" pasted, which should be the next dowry.
The entrance of the Xia Mansion is also crowded, and all the people at the door are dressed in rich clothes, congratulating the groom again and again, and they should all be big people in the capital.
This prince didn't even get off the horse, and sitting on the horse and clapping his fists to everyone in return was already the biggest salute for the royal children.
I paced forward little by little, for fear that others would find me, and I kept walking against the wall, but in fact no one cared about me, and now the focus of everyone must be on the right one.
Looking at the plaque on the door of the Xia family, the two big characters of Xia Mansion are also particularly dazzling today, the stone lions next to the door are all with big red flowers, the front wall of the main entrance is pulled with red silk, this street and the shops on the street are hung with red lanterns, it can also be seen that the royal family attaches great importance to this wedding, but think about it, if the emperor knows that his daughter-in-law was snatched away on the way to pick up relatives, what will be the reaction, and. What is the mood of Lord Xia Zhonglu, the head of the Military Academy who married his daughter.
- The bride goes out and gets on the sedan chair!
With a shout from the celebrant officer, everyone gathered together to welcome the bride out.
I also walked quickly to the door, because Xia Mu Xia Qing prepared clothes and hats for me in order to hide people's eyes and ears when I went out, so there was nothing unusual about me mixing in near the crowd.
The bride slowly walked out of the gate of the summer mansion with the support of the two maids.
Although she is covered with a hijab, she can also see that this woman's temperament is extraordinary, wearing a wedding dress with a phoenix embroidered on it, although the wedding dress is slightly bloated, but you can still see the graceful figure of the bride.
What the hell am I looking at...
The maid carried the bride in her arms, walked down the steps of the summer mansion, and now walked to the groom's door and curtsy.
-Lady, please get up quickly.
The groom hurriedly motioned for the bride to get up. It seems that in ancient times, women had no human rights, let alone in the royal family, this sedan chair had not yet been served, and the first thing was to salute her husband.
- The bride gets on the sedan chair and returns to the palace.
At this time, I inadvertently saw the figures of Xia Qing and Xia Mu in the crowd, their eyes were all on the bride, I saw reluctance in their eyes, more nervousness, because they knew what their bride sister was going to face next.
That's when they spotted me in the crowd, and we gave each other a firm look. Because I know that at this moment, I am the one who can reunite their sisters!
Watching the bride walk up to the sedan chair, a group of cavalry suddenly appeared behind me, these officers and soldiers were also dressed in red, and even their sabers were tied with red silk, it seems that these are the guards escorting the prince and the welcoming procession.
The leader of the men rode past me, and he glanced at me and walked quickly to the front of the group.
At this time, I didn't know that this was Xia Mu's husband, Mei Yuchen, the captain of the Chengwei Mansion.
These guards were scattered on both sides of the procession, and the melanchocade escorted the procession slowly on its way, and these people numbered in the hundreds.
Then the problem arises, just by relying on the welcoming team itself, there are thousands of people, plus these guards with swords, Xia Mu told me to cooperate with me, how to cooperate with me in order for me to snatch the bride smoothly.
It suddenly occurred to me that this was an impossible task.
But since I promised them, I could only follow the procession, because there were also pedestrians on the street, so no one noticed anything suspicious about my whereabouts.
But I followed the team for two streets, and there was still nothing abnormal, I thought to myself, how can there be anyone who cooperates with me, could it be that this Xia family sister deceived me, I am alone in the face of these thousands of people to rob the bride, even if I have three heads and six arms, it is impossible to succeed.
-I finally knew why these two girls told me that they might lose their lives, and that it was so dangerous for me to deal with so many people alone.
I retreated to myself.
As soon as I finished speaking, the team walked to the corner of the street, and suddenly many people came from all directions, their faces covered with black cloths, brandishing knives and guns, and they were violent.
Instantly into the welcoming team, at this time the welcoming team is a mess, because there are still people beating gongs and drums in front of the team, so this is a good cover for these people, plus the queue is too long, and soon the welcoming team will be scattered, and the end can not take care of each other.
- Don't mess around, it's important to protect the prince and the sedan chair.
The leading guard commander, that is, Xia Mu's husband Mei Yuchen, pulled the reins and shouted at the crowd.
The prince's horse was frightened and raised its front hooves violently, and the bridegroom was thrown to the ground.
Looking at the entire team of sending relatives, the blood suddenly rushed to the sky, and the sound of killing and wailing was everywhere.
I went, but no one told me that this was the way to rob relatives.
Seeing this scene, my legs were so frightened that I was weak, when have I ever seen this battle in a peaceful era. Watching people fall one by one, and the sound of everyone fighting in my ears one after another, I really regret helping this.
I froze in place, watching what was happening in front of me, and my legs were no longer listening to me.
The pedestrians, musicians, maids, palanquins, guards, and robbers on the street, all of them were in a mess, and I was the only one who stood motionless.
Suddenly, pedestrians on the street were busy running away and accidentally knocked me to the ground. A pain in my arm pulled my mind back.
- What should I do, run, no, oh yes, bride, sedan chair
I couldn't stop talking to myself.
I quickly found the location of the sedan chair, and found that all the people were busy running away or fighting, and there was no one to protect the sedan chair, and it was quietly parked in the middle of the street.
Look at the prince again, under the protection of everyone, he is also retreating to the corner of the street.
I secretly made up my mind that the time had come, and now was the time!
I slammed up from the ground and ran like a sedan chair.
I opened the yellow sedan curtain first, and I didn't have time to admire whether the embroidery was a peacock or a phoenix, and when I saw the bride sitting in it, I reached out and lifted the hijab, took the bride's hand and pulled the bride out of the sedan chair.
- Come with me.
I don't have a lot to worry about, and I don't have time to introduce myself. He picked up his bride and ran out.
- Quick, protect the bride
Riding Captain Mei Yuchen still saw me while sitting on the horse, and shouted in my direction, but he didn't rush up, probably because he was blocking a lot of people in front of him, but in fact, he wanted me to take the bride away.
The prince has now withdrawn from the battle under the protection of everyone, and he doesn't care about the life or death of his new daughter-in-law, and no one else cares if the bride runs away.
I held the bride's hand tightly and ran forward without looking back. The bride must have been very cooperative, and she didn't say a word along the way, just followed me all the way.
After running for about ten minutes, I found that the bride couldn't run anymore, after all, it was also everyone's best girl, and it was not easy to keep running at my pace for so long.
I didn't look back and saw anyone chasing me, and by then I saw that the bride was already exhausted. I may have been frightened, or I may have run, a little numb, I didn't feel tired, I simply put my arms around the bride, carried the bride, and ran forward by myself, and I didn't care that the bride hurt on my shoulder, and screamed.
I ran for about half an hour, I really couldn't run, and I didn't know where to run, I saw an alley nearby, and I plunged into it, and when I saw that there was no one around, I put the bride down.
- Where are we going
I asked, hunched over, panting
- Out of town
The bride rubbed her belly, probably because I was also hurting.
- But I don't know the way.
- You come with me.
But the bride was in danger, and she grabbed me by the sleeve and ran.
- Shall we not rest?
I couldn't run anymore, so I asked out of breath.
But she's rested enough on my shoulders.
-Childe, I know you're Qing'er's friend, we're not safe yet, it's important to get out of the city.
- But now that the prince's procession in the city has been intercepted, won't the city gates be closed?
-No
Listening to the bride's categorical tone, I knew to grit my teeth and follow her all the way forward.
After about a quarter of an hour, we came to the lower gate, and I found that the gate was open, and there was no one guarding it.
- Now there is no one, go quickly.
The bride turned to look at me and said, "At this moment, I have time to take a serious look at the bride's appearance."
-Are all the young ladies of your Xia family so good-looking?
I blurted out my inner thoughts at an inopportune time.
But that's true.
The bride has a pair of Danfeng eyes blazing, a tall nose bridge, thick but not glamorous makeup, red lips and white teeth, and a tear mole in the corner of her eyes to raise the whole face to a higher height.
In my world, I'm an internet celebrity with millions of followers, and I've never seen any kind of girl, but at the moment, I admit, she's so good-looking.
-Childe Hugh is going to laugh, we are not safe yet, it is important to go out of the city.
