Chapter 18: The Full Moon is Long
Qin Xuan looked at the rather magnificent Full Moon Village and asked Mu Linchun, "Mu, have you heard of Full Moon Village before?"
Mu Linchun shook his head, "There are countless sects in the rivers and lakes, how can I know about everyone? Let's go, since you're here, let's go in and have a look." ”
They were four men and three women in a group of seven people, and with a few guests who had come to the house to congratulate them into the Zhuangzi, a middle-aged man dressed as a housekeeper led them into a side courtyard, the snow in the courtyard was cleared clean, and thirty or forty round tables of the same size were placed, and between the gaps of the round tables were placed braziers full of pineapple charcoal, and on each table were three steaming hot pots, and many plates of fresh fish, meat and vegetables were placed around the hot pot.
Due to the cold climate of Dongxuanzhou, the people here mainly eat hot pot, and Qin Xuan and others have long been accustomed to following the customs.
Mu Linchun and his party were arranged by the housekeeper on an empty table, and with them were two middle-aged men who were tall and dressed as ordinary people, and the two of them saw that they could sit at the same table with Yueyao, Bailu, and Mu Youzhi, the three fairy-like women, and they were happy in their hearts, but then they caught a glimpse of Han Diaoyi and Li Hanyi, who were carrying long swords, and their expressions were slightly unkind, so they quickly withdrew their gaze.
After Qin Xuan sat down, he looked around, although there were many people here at this time, nearly half of the tables were still empty, so naturally he couldn't hold a seat.
Qin Xuan was easy-going by nature, so he smiled at the two strange men at the same table, and asked one of them, "Dare to ask what this big brother is called, are you a relative of the owner of this Full Moon Village?"
The man's face was slightly red when he asked, and he hesitated for a long time before he said: "Hehe, my name is Zhang Dacheng, and I am not related to the old owner of Su Laozhuang, he is a big man in the city, where do I dare to make friends with him, I received an invitation on the street this morning, so I followed." ”
The big man named Zhang Dacheng asked rhetorically: "I don't think you are locals, could it be that you are passing by?" ”
Qin Xuan nodded, and briefly introduced himself. As soon as Zhang Dacheng heard that Qin Xuan was really not a local, he immediately came to his senses, and boasted to him about how great the owner of this Full Moon Village was, not only was he kind and charitable, but also had strong martial arts, and even the official master had to give three points when he saw it.
Qin Xuan waited for him to finish before he smiled and said: "This Su Zhuang master is really not an ordinary magnanimity, and he is a martial arts master, logically speaking, it should be very popular, but why do you want to let your subordinates send wedding cards everywhere, and it's almost noon, and the guests don't seem to have arrived." ”
Zhang Dawei wanted to refute a few words, but he looked around, and it was indeed as he said, for some reason, all the people who came today were ordinary people, and even the famous scoundrel in the village next door to him sat at one of the tables like dogs, but even so, more than thirty tables were still not full.
Mu Linchun, who had been silent all along, suddenly asked, "That big brother Zhang, do you know what is the name of the woman who married the young master of Full Moon Village?"
"I've heard of this, it's called Ximen Feihua, and I heard that it's from the Ximen family in Dongxuanjian Pond. Hehe, have you heard of Dongxuan Sword Pool?" Speaking of Dongxuan Sword Pool, Zhang Dacheng looked proud, and seemed to have found capital to brag about again, and began to talk endlessly.
Mu Linchun frowned, but didn't say anything more, and let Qin Xuan take over the conversation.
At this time, in a room in a courtyard in the Full Moon Village, a pair of young men and women in red robes snuggled up to each other, the man's eyebrows were comfortable and extraordinary, and the woman's eyebrows and teeth were apricot eyes and peach cheeks, and the two looked very compatible.
The woman's cheek was pressed against the man's chest, her face was filled with happiness as she wished, and she said softly: "Chenyang, we are finally married, and no one will be able to separate us in the future......" The woman's voice choked up when she said this, and her eyes were hazy.
As if sensing the strangeness of the woman in his arms, the man lowered his head and asked, "Feihua, we should be happy when we get married, what's wrong with you?"
"It's fine. The woman took a deep breath and said, "It's been so many days, your father and him...... Are you really not going to send someone to get him back?"
The man was silent for a long time when he heard this, and said in a slightly cold tone: "Heh, since my mother died, he hasn't taken care of me for so many years, but he wants to meddle in your and my affairs, I just said a few angry words a few days ago, he is good, he is gone, and now he doesn't even appear in his son's wedding, is there a father like him in the world?"
The woman looked a little guilty, and sighed: "It's not all because I'm Ximen Honglang's daughter, your father and he did this, it's also excusable, don't be angry anymore, Chenyang, I'm ...... I feel like it's not that simple, and I always feel like my heart is pounding, what if, if my dad and they come, what will I do?"
"After tonight, I will take you away from Dongxuan, and when I make a name for myself in the rivers and lakes, I will accompany you home, I want to let your father and grandfather and everyone in Dongxuan Sword Pond know that your Ximen Feihua's vision will not be wrong! I, Su Chenyang, will definitely do what I say." ”
Simon Feihua wanted to speak and stopped.
At this moment, the housekeeper of Full Moon Village trotted all the way to the gate of the courtyard, hesitated for a moment, and finally walked into the door, and said to the newlyweds who had just worshiped the world by themselves: "Young master, young lady, the guests have arrived, I have already let them have a banquet, do you want to ...... Go out and say hello. ”
The woman named Simon Feihua looked surprised, "Didn't you say that there were no guests?"
The women of the Ximen family do not marry outside, and the martial arts people in Dongxuan know more or less about this matter, so the young master of the Full Moon Village is overjoyed this time, and none of the martial arts colleagues who have a lot to do with him on weekdays dare to come to the banquet.
The housekeeper looked stupid and didn't know how to answer, but he heard Su Chenyang say: "Today is our big day, how can no one come to the door to say hello?" Let's go, I'll go out with you to say hello to the guests." ”
As he spoke, he took Ximen Feihua's hand and strode out of the door, the slightly chubby housekeeper, looking at the backs of the two, couldn't help but sigh sadly, and then followed out of the door.
The two came to the side courtyard full of feasts, Ximen Feihua saw a lively scene, looking at these guests, where could she not understand, it must be Su Chenyang who was afraid that she was wronged, so she temporarily found a group of people, so she looked like a wedding and a happy event.
These guests who came to Daoxi were all ordered by Su Chenyang to arrange for the housekeeper to go to the street to pull them to the house, although they could not fill all the tables, but they also sat around more than 20 tables, more than 200 people. I don't know who was sharp-eyed, and he was the first to see Su Chenyang's figure, so he took the lead in shouting: Congratulations to the young owner!
Immediately after everyone reacted, they all picked up their wine glasses, straightened up, and toasted to the bride and groom in unison. Most of them were ordinary people in the city, and they knew that their identities were very different from Su Chenyang, so no one dared to come forward to toast alone.
After drinking two glasses with everyone, Su Chenyang poured another glass of wine and walked straight to Qin Xuanmu Linchun and the others, he could naturally see that the guests at this table were unusual. Walking to the table, Su Chenyang said: "A few people don't look like locals, dare to ask from which sect and sect they come from?"
Qin Xuan, Han Diaoyi and the others did not make a sound, and turned their eyes to Mu Linchun, who said calmly: "In Xiamu Linchun, it is true that he is not a local, when he passed by Yichuan City today, he received a wedding card from the young owner and rushed over. ”
Su Chenyang saw his evasive words, as if he didn't want to reveal his family background, so he didn't ask any more questions, and said a few polite words, and then returned to his wife.
Mu Linchun thought about it, suddenly stood up, and under the stunned gaze of Qin Xuan and others, he walked to Su Chenyang's side, and talked to him in a low voice, at first it was Mu Linchun who said a word and he answered, and then he saw Su Chenyang and his new wife somehow listening to Mu Linchun's words, and their expressions became very nervous and surprised, and then the two of them arched their hands to Mu Linchun, and then hurriedly turned around and left.
After Mu Linchun returned to his seat, Qin Xuan couldn't wait to ask, "Mu, what did you say to Su Chenyang?"
Not only Qin Xuan, but even Han Diaoyi, Li Hanyi, Mu Youzhi, Bai Lu, Yue Yao and others were also very curious.
Mu Linchun said: "Do you still remember the old man with a knife who sat in the pavilion when we entered Xiongwu Pass?"
Qin Xuan thought for a while and said, "Remember, when the egret said that there was a master in front of me, I opened the curtain, and I saw the old man, not to mention, he glared at me at the time, and it made me feel that my hair stood on end, what the hell, what's wrong with that old man?"
Mu Linchun said: "He is Su Chenyang's father, that is, Su Yanglie, the Yichuan Sword King that Brother Zhang just said. At first, I was just suspicious, but I checked with Su Gongzi just now, and sure enough, what I expected was good. ”
Qin Xuan asked everyone's questions again, "This is strange, Su Chenyang is very happy today, why is Su Yanglie, a father, not presiding over the overall situation at home, but running outside Xiongwu Pass to be frozen?"
"Because he's waiting for someone. ”
As soon as Mu Linchun's words came out, everyone was stunned, and Mu Youzhi asked first this time, "Who are you waiting for?"
"He is waiting for the person of Dongxuan Sword Pool, and his daughter-in-law is from the Dongxuan Ximen family. Presumably you don't know, there is a rule in Dongxuanjian Pond that women from the Ximen family are not allowed to marry outside, but can only marry disciples in the sect, so Ximen Feihua marrying Su Chenyang is tantamount to violating the group training, and the Ximen family will not be able to sit idly by. ”
In fact, few people know about the fact that the women of the Dongxuan Ximen family do not marry outside, and few people know about it even in Dongxuanzhou, and Zhang Dacheng, who just said that he broke the identity of Ximen Feihua, is even less known. Mu Linchun was also when he was a child, and he heard his grandfather talk to him about this incident.
He paused and continued: "In case Su Yanglie is killed by the people of the Ximen family, then...... Then will Su Chenyang be able to treat Ximen Feihua without any guilt in the future? I was just worried about this, so I reminded Su Gongzi, if I really guessed it, wouldn't it be a happy event and a funeral?"
After Mu Linchun finished speaking, everyone looked at each other, and Qin Xuan said: "Isn't that a good show to watch in Xiongwuguan now?" Why don't we go back and take a look, Yichuan's first sword against the sword crown of Dongxuanximen is so interesting!"
As soon as he said this, Han Diaoyi and Li Hanyi were a little moved, they were sword practitioners, and the reputation of the Eastern Xuan Sword Pool had always overwhelmed their Red Lotus Sword Sect, as the elders of the Red Lotus Sword Sect, they naturally wanted to see if this Eastern Xuan Sword Pool was as powerful as the legend.
Mu Linchun looked at everyone's expressions and said with a smile: "Why, don't you drink any wine?"
"Hey, you won't die of hunger if you don't eat one meal, but if this kind of big battle is missed, it will be a pity, let's go and take a look!" Qin Xuan said as he pulled Mu Linchun's sleeve and pulled him up from the seat, the latter looked helpless.
