"Ahem, cough~" An old man with gray hair stood alone in the room, except for the place illuminated by a red lantern, it was pitch black all around.

"Master, why don't you go in first and rest, the people haven't arrived yet, just have me here."

Next to the old man, a middle-aged man in a cyan robe said respectfully, his face revealing a look of worry.

The person in front of him, who looked to be dying, was weak, and dressed as an old man was the head of the Zhang family in Wuyang Town, and the man in the green shirt was the housekeeper of the Zhang family.

Today is the day when Zhang Tianci, the young master of the Zhang family, marries, and the Zhang family is basically present, and all the eaves of the Zhang family are full of red lanterns.

Zhang's family is very large, and the red carpet that connects from the lobby to the main entrance even uses two bundles, each bundle is not less than 100 meters, and both sides of the red carpet are full of servants to welcome relatives. I don't know if it's a local custom, but between the servants and the red carpet, there is a human-height screen.

It is also strange to say that other people's families usually greet their relatives during the day and hold weddings, but the Zhang family set the time in the middle of the night. What's even more strange is that except for the head of the Zhang family and the housekeeper, almost all the servants of the Zhang family have stiff faces on their faces, and they just stand there quietly, without saying a word.

"Laifu, I'm fine, you go and see how the young master is prepared." The head of the Zhang family spoke, holding the cane with one hand, and gently covering his mouth and nose with the other, as if he was about to cough out the next moment.

Although the housekeeper Laifu looked worried, he still obeyed the arrangement of the head of the house and went to the backyard.

Seeing the housekeeper Laifu leaving, Master Zhang came to the lobby tremblingly with a cane.

A gust of wind blew, and the red silk on the pillars at both ends of the hall fluttered in the wind, and the head of the Zhang family tightened his clothes tightly, staring at the door in front of him.

According to the agreement, the bride will enter through the main entrance tonight, and will be supported by the matchmaker to the lobby to marry Zhang Tianci, the young master of the Zhang family.

"Wife, don't worry, the daughter-in-law I found for us this time is definitely the best in the nearby town, I specially asked the fortune teller to calculate, the master said that our son and this daughter-in-law who passed through the door are 'married to husband and wife, and there is no doubt about love. Joy is in tonight, grace and good time...... Try to love Chunhua, don't forget the joyful time. Life should come back, death should be Sauvignon Blanc. Listen, speak very well. ”

Master Zhang said to his wife sitting on the side, with a rare smile on his face.

The woman next to her kept smiling, but she didn't look at it.

According to the customs of ordinary places, relatives and friends generally come to congratulate them on the wedding day, but I don't know why, today's Zhang family is happy, and they didn't invite a relative or friend to watch the ceremony.

The housekeeper Laifu came to the backyard, walked directly to the outside of a room, knocked on the door and entered, and stood respectfully in front of a man in a big red wedding robe.

"Young master, let me ask you if you are ready, the bride will be here soon, don't miss the auspicious time."

"It's been several times, so what's wrong with my father." The young master of the Zhang family casually fiddled with the wedding robe on his body and said, the movements were very familiar, and the kung fu was finished in a short time.

This is the fourth time he has married this year, the previous daughters-in-law don't know why they died unexpectedly within a few months, and the Zhang family is the only one seedling like him, and in order not to cut off the bloodline of the Zhang family, Master Zhang has to keep giving him Zhang Luo's marriage.

However, when there was a fatal case, the Zhang family naturally did not dare to hide it, and dealt with the yamen a lot, but unfortunately the final result was that they all died in an accident.

The Zhang family naturally didn't believe this statement, but they didn't have any clues, so they had to give up.

However, the death of so many people still has a great impact on the Zhang family. This kind of thing is easy to say once, but there are many times, and ordinary Yin Shi people are reluctant to marry their daughters to the Zhang family, after all, no one wants their daughters to die just after passing the door.

Fortunately, the Zhang family is the richest person in Wuyang Town, and the people in this town are unwilling to marry their daughters, so they go to other towns to ask for marriage.

This time she married Zhang Tianci from a woman surnamed Yin in another town.

"I heard from the matchmaker that the little lady who married me this time is very beautiful, I don't know if it's true?"

As if remembering the matchmaker's description, Young Master Zhang couldn't help but be a little stunned, as if he had thought of something good, and a smile gradually appeared on his face.

This time, in order to let the other party agree to this family business, the Zhang family dragged back and forth for a month or two, and the silver alone cost thousands of taels, and the Yin family made up their minds not to agree to anything, but the Zhang family gave too much, and it happened to be in urgent need of money, so they agreed ruthlessly.

Seeing that there was not much time left, the housekeeper Laifu could only remind Young Master Zhang, who looked like a pig: "Young Master, let's go to the lobby quickly, don't let the master wait for a long time." ”

instantly woke up the young master of the Zhang family, who was still in a daze.

Zhang Tianci wiped the corners of his mouth and said to the housekeeper Laifu: "It's okay, Laifu, you lead the way in front." ”

Rifle, the butler, took a red lantern from the side and walked in front.

The two of them quickly arrived in the lobby one after the other.

I don't know if everyone went to the front yard to help, but I didn't meet anyone along the way, all the rooms except for the lanterns and red silk in front of the door, there were no lights in the house, and the huge courtyard looked particularly deserted in this dark night sky.

"God, come here." Seeing his son, Master Zhang smiled on his face and stretched out his hand.

"Father." Zhang Tianci hurriedly and respectfully ran to Master Zhang, obviously he was still in awe of this father.

"Son, I've already seen the girl this time, what the matchmaker said is not exaggerated, the person looks quite quiet, you will definitely live together in the future." Master Zhang said to Zhang Tianci, with a smile on his face.

"Really? That's great! Hearing that his father had seen the other party's face, Zhang Tianci first showed a smile on his face, and then showed curiosity on his face, and asked Master Zhang: "Has the yamen replied to my father's previous matter?" ”。

"This group of wine bags and rice bags are useless! I've been checking for so long, and nothing has been found! Hearing Zhang Tianci's question, Master Zhang's face instantly showed an angry expression, and the cup next to his hand was directly thrown out by him, the joy on his face disappeared, and his expression became gloomy.

The Zhang family has died three people in a row, and it's almost a year, and the yamen doesn't know how much money they have received from the Zhang family, but there is no result.

Because of this incident, it is rumored that Zhang Tianci is a lonely star in the sky, and the feng shui of the Zhang family is not good, and now not only is no one willing to marry his daughter to the Zhang family, but even recruiting servants has become a tricky matter.

This is why there is great joy today, but no one is willing to come to watch the ceremony, for fear of being contaminated with the mildew of the Zhang family.

It is also thanks to the deep foundation of the Zhang family that it has survived to this day.

Seeing his father's angry appearance, Zhang Tianci hurriedly said: "Father, don't be angry, I won't ask." ”

Master Zhang said smoothly: "Okay, today is your big day, so I won't talk about it." ”

"Laifu, you clean up here and change the cup." Master Zhang directly commanded, pointing to the housekeeper Laifu and said.

"It's sir!"

Looking at the housekeeper's busy appearance, Master Zhang couldn't help but sigh in his heart, if it was before, this kind of trivial matter would naturally have inferior servants to deal with, where can I use it to do it myself, but now it is different. Before recruiting new people, I can only let the housekeeper do it.

"Godci, if you had listened to me and practiced martial arts well, the Zhang family would not have been made like this by Xiaoxiao." Master Zhang's words were full of sighs.

In fact, he knew that Zhang Tianci could not be blamed for this, he let Zhang Tianci practice martial arts, but the old lady and his wife felt sorry for the child and didn't want Zhang Tianci to suffer, so they had no choice but to give up.

He can naturally call the shots about the lady, but he can't say anything to the old lady.

They don't understand that this Jianghu is the final word in strength after all, he understands, but it's a pity that it's useless.

However, now that Zhang Tianci is old, it is too late to say anything, he only hopes that this time it will be smooth and smooth, and there will be no more accidents, and the Zhang family will no longer be able to withstand a little turmoil.

"Perhaps, I should also move, otherwise the people of Wuyang Town will forget what Wuyang Town's surname is." Master Zhang muttered in his mouth, and subconsciously clenched the crutches in his hand.

"Master, the bride is here, hurry up and go out to greet her." The butler Laifu hurriedly ran to say.

Sure enough, as soon as his words fell, a rapid suona sound sounded from the gate, getting closer and closer.

"Son, go and pick up your relatives." Master Zhang said to Zhang Tianci.

At the same time, he looked at Laifu in front of him with a respectful face and said, "You go too, remember to look at the young master a little." ”

"Yes, father."

"Yes, sir."

The two walked briskly along the red carpet towards the door, and the strange thing was that none of the servants on both sides of the red carpet followed, but there was a hard smile on their faces, watching the two go away, but the two had no surprises, as if they didn't see it.

When the two came to the gate, they saw a pair of each other in red wedding clothes standing crookedly at the door of Zhang's house, all of them with pale faces, their eyes full of horror, and they were gasping for breath.

Seeing someone from the Zhang family coming out, a woman wearing red clothes and a black flesh mole on her face held her waist, walked quickly around the crowd, and said breathlessly to the housekeeper of the Zhang family and the young master of the Zhang family seven or eight meters away from the gate: "Hurry up and pick up the bride!" ”

She stood far away, looking nervously at the Zhang family's mansion opposite, which was full of lights but not the slightest popularity. The mansion stands abruptly in the night, like a haunted house.

"Aunt Chun, you've worked hard all the way, this is your hard work." The butler Rifle stepped forward and said, a money bag stuffed into his hand.

After weighing the money bag, feeling that the amount was not small, the matchmaker said to Laifu: "Come to the housekeeper, I brought you the person, and now I will hand it over to you, and we will rush back overnight." ”

After saying that, Chun Gu turned around and was about to leave, and the greeting team behind her immediately became neat, and it could be seen that they didn't want to stay here longer.

"Aunt Chun, don't worry, how can there be a reason that the matchmaker ran away before the wedding was held, where do we have to put our Zhang family's face when it spreads? You are in such a hurry to leave, do you look down on my Zhang family or what? Laifu hurriedly grabbed Aunt Chun, who was about to leave, and said.

"No, no, we didn't look down on the Zhang family, we were really busy rushing back, I'm really sorry, Lord Housekeeper, you see ......" Chun Gu hurriedly waved her hand and denied it, while reaching out and taking out a piece of broken silver from the money bag.

Who knew that the other party didn't look at it, seeing this, she didn't know that she had to enter today's door, and she had to enter if she didn't enter.

Although the Zhang family has been going downhill in recent years, one white thing after another, it is not something that her little matchmaker can contend with, as long as the other party moves her mouth, she doesn't want to live in Wuyang Town.

Knowing that there was no way out, in desperation, she had no choice but to glance at the people behind her, and then personally came to the sedan chair door to lead the bride into Zhang's mansion.

"Miss Yin, Zhang's Mansion has arrived." As the matchmaker's words came out, a figure of Yuan Na walked out of the sedan chair, and a fragrance came. She walked out gently, her body was light and graceful, and between the swings of her red wedding robe, she could vaguely see the slender and beautiful figure.

The jade step shook gently, the jade hand stretched out slightly, gently put it on the forearm of the spring aunt, and followed the spring aunt into the door of the Zhang family.

This woman is the young lady of the Zhang family, the young lady of the Zhang family, Yin Xue.
