Chapter 138: Collision (1st Update)
Xiao Jinyue opened her eyes, only to find that she was asleep, and the sedan chair stopped at some point.
Under the hijab, she stretched out her hand to lift a corner, the sedan chair was quiet, and there was still the sound of suona outside.
But the song played is not the festive and cheerful "Hundred Birds and Phoenix", but a tragic song that is like crying, tear-jerking, and sending the dead out of the funeral.
Originally, Xiao Jinyue got married, and the children followed the sedan to run back and forth, grabbing candy and picking up money, and the adults also came out to stand on both sides of the street to watch the excitement, and by the way, they were a little happy.
The sedan chair was full of joy everywhere, and ordinary people didn't know that Xiao Jinyue's marriage was for the prince of Zhenguo, and everyone was talking about this marriage with relish.
On the other side of the long street, a funeral procession wearing filial piety clothes, carrying coffins, and blowing funeral tunes suddenly appeared.
Seeing the lively crowd looking at the scene in front of them in amazement, no one could have imagined that the wedding team would meet the funeral team, and everyone was so shocked that they even stopped talking.
If you don't want to directly bump into the funeral team in front, you can only choose to avoid it.
Xi Niang didn't expect to encounter such an unlucky thing, just wanted to take the sedan chair around, but after looking around, I found that there was only this street nearby.
Everyone was dumbfounded at this time, and Xi Niang had to stop the sedan chair. Everyone originally thought that it was an accident, and if the wedding procession stopped, the opposite side would also stop.
Unexpectedly, instead of stopping, the funeral procession on the opposite side walked straight towards the sedan chair with the coffin.
Seeing this scene, everyone was dumbfounded.
Xiao Jinyue frowned, and just wanted to ask Bai Guo what happened, but the suona sound outside suddenly stopped, and the female voice that had just woken her up sounded again.
"Xiao Jinyue, you are greedy for glory and wealth, you have climbed to the high branches, quit my family's marriage, and forced my mother to death, turn your head and marry someone else, a vicious woman like you, why didn't God take you in..."
"Mother... You died so miserably, open your eyes and see, the person who killed you is here......"
"Shut up..."
Hearing this cry, Xiao Haoqing, who sent Xiao Jinyue to get married, and the steward sent by the Zhenguo Mansion to greet her relatives stopped it in unison.
This female voice seems to be familiar, Xiao Jinyue thought about it for a while, and then remembered that it was Li Ruoqian.
It turned out that the Wailang Mansion, a member of the Ministry of Rites, actually chose the day of her marriage to send Mrs. Li to the funeral, and deliberately blocked her wedding line.
Although the funeral procession stopped, it was only two or three feet away from the sedan chair.
Walking in front of them was Li Wenhao and Li Ruoqian, brothers and sisters in filial piety clothes, who suddenly lost their mother, sad and angry, in the face of Xiao Haoqing and the anger of the steward, the two did not see a little fear.
Li Wenhao stared at the sedan chair opposite, he didn't expect that he was just going out for a walk, and when he came back, he found that his mother had hanged herself in prison.
Something happened to his family, but Xiao Jinyue, who withdrew from his marriage, was about to marry the prince of Zhenguo so soon.
At this moment, looking at the sedan chair opposite, Li Wenhao felt a deep anger in his heart. If it weren't for Xiao Jinyue, his mother would not have been arrested and taken to Dali Temple, and he would not have hanged himself in prison.
Not only was he angry, but Li Ruoqian was even more angry. Originally, she was married, and it was a good time to see someone get married, but her mother died, and she hanged herself in prison.
I don't know what's going on, the news of her mother's death has been spread, and everyone who heard about it said something unpleasant.
Their reputation in the house is ruined.
Originally, she could marry a good family, but the people of the time paid attention to the widow and the eldest daughter not to marry, plus the reputation in their house was bad, now let alone a good family, it is difficult to say whether she can marry or not.
She ended up so miserably, but Xiao Jinyue, that slut, wanted to marry the prince of Zhenguo, how could she bear it.
"Xiao Jinyue, you killed my mother, you must come out and kowtow to my mother's coffin to make amends......
Hearing Li Ruoqian's cry, the crowd who didn't know the truth immediately turned their heads to each other and pointed at the sedan chair.
Today is a good day for my sister to get married, and someone stopped making trouble halfway, Xiao Haoqing was even more angry, and coldly said angrily to Li Wenhao's brother and sister opposite, "Your brother and sister have a bad memory, I forgot how your mother died, I don't mind reminding you." ”
Hearing the voice of the eldest brother, Xiao Jinyue was still a little confused, and asked Bai Guo through the sedan curtain, "Why is the eldest young master here?" ”
When Bai Guo heard her words, he was worried that she would come out of the sedan chair, so he hurriedly comforted her, "Don't worry, girl, it's the general and the lady who are worried that something will happen on the road, so they specially asked the eldest young master to escort you to get married." ”
Since the eldest brother was dealing with it, Xiao Jinyue didn't think about getting out of the sedan chair, but waited quietly with peace of mind.
Xiao Haoqing said, "Your mother was arrested and taken to Dali Temple because she ran to Sugar Hunt to make trouble." But before she could wait for the trial of Dali Siqing, she hanged herself. Don't think I don't know, it's not my second sister who forced your mother to death, but your father disliked your mother's reputation and teamed up with his favorite concubine to force your mother to death. ”
The cause of her mother's death was revealed, and Li Ruoqian couldn't help but be anxious, "You are talking nonsense, you brothers and sisters are not good people, your sister forced my mother to death, but you are reversing black and white here..."
Xiao Haoqing sneered, "I'm talking nonsense? The letter of resignation written by your father is still in the hands of Dali Siqing, do you want me to borrow it for you? ”
The second sister is still in the sedan chair, but she can't miss the auspicious time, Xiao Haoqing arched her hand to a man in a stone blue brocade robe who was watching the excitement in the crowd, "Shi Yushi, the sister is getting married today, can you come to our house to drink a glass of wine?" ”
Shi Yushi in the crowd was not annoyed when he was called to reveal his identity, and glanced meaningfully at Li Wenhao's brothers and sisters in filial piety clothes, and then bowed back to Xiao Haoqing.
"I'm really sorry, the old man didn't take a break today, but he happened to pass by here, and he had to rush back to the yamen to write a recital. I'm afraid that I don't have time to go to ask for a glass of wine, so I can only wish Ling Mei Zhilanmao a thousand years and Qin Sele a hundred years here."
Li Wenhao's brother and sister were already nervous when Xiao Haoqing called out the identity of the Stone Imperial History, and when he glanced at it meaningfully, their faces turned pale with fright, and their hearts suddenly chuckled.
I didn't expect to be seen by the most popular Yushi.
Although Li Wenhao's brother and sister were angry that their father and aunt forced their mother to death, both brothers and sisters knew that it didn't matter if they didn't have their mother, but they still needed Li Guangping's father.
After all, if Li Wenhao wants to go smoothly in officialdom in the future, I am afraid that he will have to rely on his father's help. And Li Ruoqian has no mother, if her father no longer has an official body, her future marriage will only be a hundred times more difficult than now.
Both of their brothers and sisters are so miserable, and Xiao Jinyue has nothing to do, and can even marry into a high family. The brother and sister couldn't bear the resentment in their hearts, so they took advantage of Xiao Jinyue's marriage to use Mrs. Li's death to touch her moldy head, but they didn't want to cause Li Guangping to lose his official body.
