Chapter 42: The Newlywed
Qi walked to Bai Lan's room and said respectfully: "Miss Bai Lan, the sixth marquis is waiting for you outside, I want to see you, I don't know what you think, girl?" Bai Lan opened the door and said to Kai with a smile, "Kai, do you think I should go to see him?" ”
"I don't know about this, it's all up to you, girl, to decide."
Bai Lan shook her head and said, "Then it's gone, and there's nothing to say, tomorrow I'll be your wife, and it's not good to go and see outsiders again." ”
"So small, I still hope you go out to meet, some things, it's better to explain clearly, it's a good thing for you, for you, and for Master Hou." Hearing Qi say this, Bai Lan nodded, took Qi's hand, and went outside together.
Bai Lan looked at Ao Lie and Ao Qingyun, saluted slightly, and then looked at Qi with a smile.
When Ao Lie was about to say something, Ao Qingyun gently pulled Ao Lie's sleeve and said to Bai Lan: "Miss Bai Lan, we heard that you are about to hold a wedding with this city lord, and my brother and I are here to congratulate you." ”
Bai Lan nodded, and said to Ao Qingyun: "Thank you to the Sixth County Lord and the Sixth Marquis, I am indeed going to marry Qi tomorrow." ”
When Ao Lie heard this, he couldn't help but speak, "Bailan, can't we go back to the past?" Have you forgotten all about our past? I really don't understand what the hell I did wrong to make you leave and marry someone else. ”
"Alas, you didn't do anything wrong, it's just that we can't go back to the past, really, Ao Lie, we can't go back between us, when I was demoted to slavery, we were already people from two worlds, I didn't do anything wrong, you didn't do anything wrong, it's just destiny that is wrong, and now I hope you can find a better person, a wife worthy of the sixth marquis of your Dragon Kingdom." Bai Lan said with a sigh.
Listening to Bai Lan's words, Ao Lie looked at Qi, looked at Bai Lan again, and saw Bai Lan looking at Qi with affection, not saying anything, congratulating them on a hundred years of good marriage and early birth of a noble son, and then leave here,
Looking at Ao Lie's back, Qi said to Bai Lan: "Actually, he likes you very much, it's better for you to be with him than with me, at least he has you in his heart, and I don't know." Bai Lan sat beside him, gently touched his face with his hand and said, "There are some things you should understand, there is no result in forcing it, I don't want him to have a fight with his relatives for me." ”
Qi looked at Bai Lan and gently held Bai Lan's hand, but Qi quickly let go and said to Bai Lan: "You go back and rest, I'll take care of some business." ”
Bai Lan nodded and left the hall. Kai sat here alone, looking outside, his thoughts churning.
I don't know how long it took, Ao Qingyun walked in again, holding a long sword in her hand, she quickly walked to Qi's side, put the sword on Qi's neck, and said indifferently: "I want to know, what happened to Bai Lan, she will be so obsessed with you, what evil art did you use." ”
"Lord County, there are many things that you can't understand if you are of noble birth, you have been respected by people since you were a child, so naturally you won't understand the hard work of the people in the lower classes. Bai Lan is reluctant to marry your brother because of this. A lower class of people, integrated into you, is always so out of place, even fearful. Kai explained calmly, not paying any attention to the sword around his neck.
Ao Qingyun looked at Qi and said again: "She is a nobleman, unlike you lower-class, she is originally a lady, how can she not be worthy of my brother." ”
"This is just your own opinion, county lord, will your father, Lord Longjun, approve of this daughter-in-law? Your brother is going to marry Miss Bailan, and he will have to endure great pressure. Miss Bailan is a kind-hearted person, she likes your brother and doesn't want your brother to be embarrassed between herself and her family. She has a good intention, I hope you don't get me wrong, county lord. ”
Ao Qingyun looked at Qi with a pair of bright eyes, and said to Qi: "This matter, aren't you making a hindrance from it?" Qi shook his head and said, "I'm just a little person who does nothing, what can I do?" ”
Ao Qingyun put the sword back into its scabbard, snorted coldly and said, "Very good, I will trust you for the time being, if I let me know that you deceived me today, then even if you escape to the coast of the West Sea, I will kill you." ”
Seeing Ao Qingyun flying away like a cloud, Qi breathed a sigh of relief, and soon Song San and the others entered the main hall and asked if Qi was fine.
"It's okay, it's okay, you all go down, rest early, you've worked hard today."
Kai looked at the Iron Guards with a smile, patted them on the shoulder, and said goodbye to them cordially.
Song San said helplessly: "My lord, my subordinates are incompetent, the woman just now took action to stop us, fortunately, my lord is fine, otherwise we would really die and die to atone for their sins." ”
"Needless to say, this matter of life and death is in the hands of the Mandate of Heaven, and if God wants me to live, then I will not die. Heaven wants me to die, so even if there are ten gods of the Great Wilderness to protect me, it is impossible for me to live. ”
After Qi finished speaking, he once again persuaded them not to worry too much, so that they could go back to rest.
Kai waited until they left, returned to his room, and looked at the newly made silk wedding dress.
"Isn't this garment made of linen?" Kai asked the servant, and the servant said that there was, but it was a little shabby, which did not fit Kai's identity.
Kai said that there is no need to think about this, it will be made of linen tomorrow, and as for this dress, Kai will let people go and save it, and if anyone wants to use it in the future, then give it to others.
At dusk the next day, the marriage was held as promised, Qi wore a wedding dress, and Bai Lan completed the wedding under the guidance of praise.
After entering the cave room, Qi changed his wedding clothes, then put on his daily clothes, and found a place to sleep on the east side of the room, Bai Lan came over, gently touched Qi with his hand, Qi sat up, and said to Bai Lan: "Bai Lan girl, please forgive me, I don't want you to regret it in the future, now let's be like this between us." ”
"I'm already your wife, it's too late to regret it, Kai, what are you afraid of."
Bai Lan stared at Kai with both eyes, hoping that Qi would tell her the truth. Qi looked at Bai Lan's flower-like face, and a trace of excitement flashed in his eyes, but Qi quickly suppressed this emotion and said to Bai Lan: "You don't have to know about this Bai Lan girl, this is my problem, Bai Lan girl, you don't have to care." ”
"Kai, we are husband and wife, are you still going to hide all this from me?" Bai Lan looked at the man in front of her a little sadly, Qi kowtowed to Bai Lan three times, and slept there again.
Seeing this situation, Bai Lan couldn't stop the tears in her eyes, and at this time Qi heard the crying, got up again, took out a handkerchief and handed it to Bai Lan, and said to Bai Lan: "Originally, all this should have been borne by me, but I didn't expect to implicate you, I'm really sorry, I made you cry on the first day of marriage." ”
Qi said, took out a small stone figure, handed it to Bai Lan and said, "Originally, I wanted to give it to you tomorrow and give you a surprise." Now I can only take you as a gift of apology. After Bai Lan took it, he looked at it, and it was carved with the appearance of Bai Lan, which was vivid, just like a real person. Bai Lan's heart warmed, and she said to Qi with a smile: "You carved it?" ”
"No, a stonemason carved it for me, how about it, if there is anything that needs to be modified, I can ask him to modify it a little."
Bai Lan shook her head and said, "No, it's already good, forget it, you don't want to tell me, I don't force it, as long as you can be happy, I will be satisfied." ”
Bai Lan moved the blanket to this side as well, and Kai didn't speak.
After a night without saying a word, Qi, who got up early, looked at Bai Lan, who was sleeping not far away, took out a small box from his arms, gently placed it next to Bai Lan's pillow, and then left here.
When he arrived in the hall, Yuan Ning was dealing with official business, and when he saw Qi coming, he hurriedly saluted and said, "My lord, why don't you take a rest more, there is nothing to be busy with now." ”
"Yuan Ning, I'm going to go to the national capital in half a month, what do you think?"
Yuan Ning nodded, thought for a while, and then said to Qi: "My lord, you don't have to worry about that Shangqing's daughter, I heard that next year, the princess will be married, and the prince will recruit relatives for his sister, I hope you can seize this opportunity, if you really marry the princess, then you don't have to worry about the future in this small Tao Ze City." ”
"I'm afraid this matter is not so simple, there are many people who want to marry the princess, how many people are more suitable than me."
Yuan Ning shook his head and said: "If you are not sure, I will not tell the adults about you, yes, I heard that the new prince does not like his sister very much, so he has to marry earlier, and those who are superior, the new prince will not agree." ”
Hearing Yuan Ning's words, Qi didn't answer, and sat there quietly, Yuan Ning and Qi got along for a long time, knowing that Qi was thinking about it, he didn't say anything more, waiting for Qi to make a decision.
"If this can be done, it will naturally be my luck, if it can't be done, then it is my destiny, and I don't have to worry about anything."
After Qi finished speaking, he didn't continue the topic, let Yuan Ning continue to deal with these chores, went to the kitchen by himself, and after letting the kitchen prepare the dishes, he personally served them.
When he entered the room, Bai Lan had already woken up, was combing her hair, and there was the box that Qi gave her in the morning on the table, Qi put the food on the table, and said to Bai Lan: "I don't know if you like this hairpin?" If you don't like it, then I'll find a craftsman and make another one for you. ”
"No need, I like this hairpin very much, Kai, you are always so considerate, but I am a little willful as a wife."
"It's nothing, Bailan, you don't have to wronged yourself, you can say whatever you want, cry when you want to cry, laugh when you want, live more freely."
