Chapter 42: Feng Yuan's Wedding
After paying the bill and separating the two, Li Wuchen went back to the Yamen of Shuntian Mansion to take a nap, but before he could squint for long, he heard someone talking outside the door.
"Have you heard? Just released today, the new champion turned out to be a poor scholar, called ...... What's it called?"
"Feng Yuan! And I heard that the playboy Fu Xian of the Ministry of Industry Shangshu also got a list and ranked among the top three, I don't know if there is his father's dark box operation. ”
"Forget it, that's all we can worry about. ”
The voices of the two of them went farther and farther away, and Li Wuchen took a sip of tea, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he was a little surprised.
"Isn't Feng Yuan the scholar who went to save Zhu Xiaoyu at the beginning?"
I remembered the agreement made by the two of them at that time, and I thought it was time to get married.
But fortunately, all this didn't have much to do with him, so he stretched his waist, and then went back to the table, and slept directly to the ya.
As soon as he returned to the Li Mansion, he ran into Xing Jia, who was waiting for him at the door.
"Young master, there is a wedding card for you. ”
Xing Jia held a gilded invitation card in both hands and handed it to him.
"Oh, so fast?"
There's no need to guess who the person who sent the post is, since he came out of the mountain, there are not many people he knows, and there are only a handful of people who know that he arrived in the capital, so after accepting the post, he put it in his pocket.
"Why didn't you see her? ”
According to the usual habits, this girl should have been waiting for him at the door to eat together at this time, but today she didn't see anyone.
"The eldest lady is still resting, and it is estimated that it is time to get up. ”
Xing Jia replied quickly, as if he had long known that Li Wuchen would ask about him.
"Tell her to get up and eat, it's not good to fall asleep all the time. ”
Li Wuchen smiled a little, he was busy all night last night, and even he just got up, not to mention Murong Wan'er.
Xing Jia retreated, Li Wuchen stepped into the side hall, the meal had already been stacked neatly, very simple four dishes and one soup, steaming, and it had just been served.
As soon as Li Wuchen sat down, Murong Wan'er came over with a yawn, she was wearing a light-colored nightgown, delicate and slender jade legs, casually stepping on the pair of lilac embroidered shoes, her beautiful eyes were crystal clear, obviously she hadn't woken up yet, she greeted Li Wuchen, and sat down opposite him.
"Look at you, it's so late, and you're still sleeping. ”
Li Wuchen served a bowl of soup for Murong Wan'er and handed it over, but he didn't know that he also slept until sunset.
"Are you still out today?"
Murong Wan'er took the soup bowl, took a small sip with a small spoon, and asked without raising her head.
"I don't go out today, I have a wedding tomorrow, I want to go to it. ”
Feng Yuan's invitation was sent in a hurry, he only glanced at it superficially, and the date was tomorrow.
As soon as she heard this, Murong Wan'er came to her senses, stood up, snatched the wedding card in Li Wuchen's hand, opened it and glanced at it, and said with a smile, "I haven't participated in other people's weddings, you have to take me to this Feng Yuan, Bai ...... Bai Ling's wedding. ”
After that, he pursed his lips and complained, "This name is really awkward." ”
Li Wuchen was stunned for a moment, put down the dishes and chopsticks in his hand, and quickly took back the wedding card in Murong Wan'er's hand, staring at it, and sure enough, the word 'Bai Ling' was written under the word bride.
It was the first time for Murong Wan'er to see Li Wuchen lose his temper like this, but she keenly felt that there must be some fun in it, her eyes lit up, and she hurriedly asked, "Is there something wrong with this bride?"
Li Wuchen didn't have the heart to reply to her words at the moment, it stands to reason that the capital is the place where the dragon veins of Kyushu gather, protected by human luck, and it is difficult for ordinary spirits to approach, but now the location of this post is in the Feng Mansion near the East Gate Alley in the capital, which is a bit interesting.
I want to let those spirits in, unless...... He was led in by the children of the royal family.
"Don't think about it, rest early after eating. ”
Li Wuchen's tone was flat, he simply ate two bites, and then turned around and went back to the room, this matter can be big or small, but no matter what, it will be harmful to the Great Yan Yunshu.
Murong Wan'er looked at his back, sulking in place, but in an instant, the black and white beautiful eyes turned around, and she let out a wicked smile, and whispered, "If you don't take me there, can't I go by myself?"
This night, Murong Wan'er slept very early, and Li Wuchen stayed awake all night, the bookcase in his bedroom was covered with layers of yellow talismans, since Bai Ling came, Mrs. Bai would definitely not be absent, and even more seriously, the spirits of the three mountains and five mountains would gather in the capital.
The sky was pale, Li Wuchen carefully put away the yellow talisman that had been painted all night, put on his robe again, and set off with his vermilion peachwood sword on his back.
The atmosphere on the street is quite festive, a big red sedan chair carried by eight people slowly entered the city gate, beating gongs and drums all the way, and the procession of sending relatives stretched for hundreds of meters, and the battle was comparable to the magnates in Beijing.
The sky is full of petals fluttering, the festive suona sound resounded throughout the capital, the first to ride on the tall horse is the champion of Jinke Feng Yuan, he is happy, head high on the side of the sedan chair, and he is followed by a few children, the red envelopes that have been prepared in the flower basket have been thrown to the crowd on both sides.
The team traveled in a big circle on the streets of the capital, and only then did they arrive at the place where today's wedding banquet was held, Feng Mansion, an emperor's imperial residence.
Since today is the wedding of the champion mentioned by His Majesty in person, together with the Deyun Building, two chefs have been sent to arrange a wedding banquet for him.
The whole Feng Mansion is very well arranged, with red silk brocade ribbons, red lanterns hanging on both sides, countless red paper cuts, pasted all over the house, and a white-haired old woman is greeted at the door.
Isn't this the original white grandmother?
There was an endless stream of guests who gave gifts, and there was a long queue, including many officials in Beijing who were optimistic about this golden champion, as well as some housekeepers sent by the dignitaries' families.
When the team reached the entrance of the alley, the sound of firecrackers was already sounding, and the dragon and lion dancers began to dance.
Feng Yuan dismounted, carried the bride wearing a red hijab off the sedan chair, and entered the gate of Feng's mansion.
After the groom entered, a pretty boy in a white shirt walked over slowly, dropped a silver tael, wrote Li Wuchen's name, and entered the courtyard.
The courtyard of the Feng Mansion was very large and full of guests, but this pretty boy was not in a hurry to find a place, but looked around, as if he was looking for someone.
"Where did this damn Li Wuchen go?"
I could hear the tone of his mouth, but it wasn't who Murong Wan'er was.
Eventually, she found a position with a very good view and looked at the two newcomers who were preparing to worship heaven and earth.
Feng Yuan's parents had already been taken over by him, and they were sitting on the main seat at the moment, talking about family affairs with Mrs. Bai, and at the same time, the newcomer also stood forward, ready to salute.
'Worship Heaven and Earth'
As soon as the two of them joined hands and were about to bow down to the outside of the door, there was a loud shout outside.
"I don't agree to this marriage. ”
