Chapter Twenty-Four: Wu Dalang Marries
From another point of view, Yan Poxi's thoughts happened to coincide with Bai Sheng's thoughts. Bai Sheng was also anxious to dispose of the tiger's corpse, of course, he didn't think this way to eat tiger meat.
Of course, it is not possible to always carry a dead tiger on the road, not to mention that the tiger corpse will deteriorate and rot after a long time in this late autumn season, it is too dazzling to say that this tiger is too dazzling, Bai Sheng only wants to reach Bianliang safely all the way, of course, it can't be so eye-catching, it doesn't matter if it scares the people, it will be troublesome to attract the attention of thieves from all walks of life. Therefore, it is still necessary to dispose of tiger corpses overnight.
It took one night and one day, after peeling, deboning, smoking and other processes, the tiger corpse was processed, and the third day set off, and came to Qinghe County on the same day, in Bai Sheng's plan, they will stay in Qinghe County for one night, and then turn south tomorrow out of the city, and then embark on the path to Kaifeng Mansion.
The group walked along the street with the carriage, and were about to find a good inn, when they suddenly heard the sound of blowing and beating drums, Yan Poxi opened the curtain of the carriage and said, "This is someone who has married." Bai Lang, shall we go and see the excitement?"
Yan Po regretted that she followed Song Jiang after she reached the age of marriage, but Song Jiang did not give her a wedding ceremony, so it is reasonable to be particularly envious of other women's marriages.
Bai Sheng didn't want to join in the excitement and trouble, but after thinking about it, he thought that Yan Poxi was very good to him, so he agreed, anyway, he didn't find the inn right now, so what was the harm in taking a look.
Indeed, along the way, Yan Poxi did his best to solve his troubles, especially when Zhu Tong led his troops to hunt him down, Yan Poxi once said that he would die with him, this sentence has deeply touched his heart, even if he doesn't want to marry Yan Poxi as the main family, he has already regarded Yan Poxi as his family, otherwise why would he have to kill Ximenqing?
The place where the drum music came from was not far away, only a dozen zhang forward, and I saw a donkey dressed in red and hanging colors tied to the gate of the courtyard of a rich and noble family, and the drum music came from this courtyard. Yan Po poked her head out and couldn't help but be a little contemptuous when she saw it: "This groom is also a poor man, and he can't even afford a sedan chair, so he only drove a donkey to pick up the bride." ”
"Where is the bridegroom? Why didn't I see it? Did he enter the woman's house? Li Qingzhao also poked his head out of the carriage to see the excitement, and discussed with Yan Poxi.
"Haha......" Guo Sheng laughed out loud after hearing the conversation between the two women, and pointed: "Then the groom should be bending down and bowing, the upper body is blocked by the body of a donkey, do you see if the donkey has six legs under its belly?"
Li Qingzhao and Yan Poxi looked at it when they heard this, and saw that there were two human legs in the middle of the donkey's four legs.
Bai Sheng quipped on the side: "Brother Guo's words are wrong, how can it be six legs? I obviously saw seven legs." ”
Guo Sheng and Li Yan were both surprised, but Yan Poxi reacted the fastest, and glanced at Bai Sheng and said: "Xianggong, you really know how to laugh, that is clearly a donkey whip, and it can also be counted as a leg?"
While speaking, the group of chariots and horses had already arrived at the door of the house, but they saw a short man standing behind the donkey, with a very obscene appearance, wearing coarse cloth clothes, and the bun on the top of his head was not as tall as the donkey's back.
Bai Sheng was taken aback, he could immediately conclude that this person must be Wu Dalang, but he didn't expect to catch up with Wu Dalang to marry him just after coming to Qinghe County.
Wu Dalang marries, who is he marrying? Then don't you need to think about it, it must be Pan Jinlian!
As soon as I thought of this, I heard a terrible cry from the courtyard of the big family, and when I looked into the courtyard, I saw more than a dozen men dressed as servants standing in the courtyard, all of them bowing their heads and lowering their eyes, which seemed to be quite powerful.
As the crying became louder and louder, someone came out of the hall, but it was two sturdy servant women holding a bride with a phoenix crown and a silk veil, with a red hijab on her face, and she couldn't see her appearance, she could only see that the bride was crying darkly, dead and alive, her body was struggling left and right, her legs were kicking and trampling, and she seemed to be extremely reluctant to walk out of this courtyard, but the two fat women were full of strength, and they only dragged her feet out without touching the ground.
This is Pan Jinlian, right? Fate is too unfair to her, seeing her crying like this, it means that she definitely doesn't want to marry Wu Dalang, who is so domineering that she wants to forcibly insert this flower into cow dung? Isn't this burning the qin and boiling the crane?
Somehow, a strong sympathy surged from Bai Sheng's heart, and later generations said that Pan Jinlian was debauched and fornicated, but which beautiful woman could be willing to marry a husband like Wu Dalang? If she married such a husband, which beautiful woman could not split her legs? In other words, if Pan Jinlian married a handsome and dashing man, would she definitely cheat in the future?
With sympathy, Bai Sheng couldn't help but be nosy, and said angrily: "It's too unusual! Isn't this forcibly marrying a people's daughter?"
This sentence was spoken, but Li Yan's second daughter was disapproving, and Li Qingzhao couldn't help asking: "Forced marriage? Why do you think so?"
Bai Sheng said: "Didn't you see this bride crying miserably? That must be unwilling to marry, since she is unwilling to marry, then this three-inch Ding is a forced marriage!
Yan Poxi shook her head and said: "Xianggong, you are wrong, but when a woman gets married, there is no one who does not cry, because she is leaving her parents, so even if she is beautiful in her heart, she must cry on her face, and if she does not cry, she will be unfilial! ”
Bai Sheng shook his head and said: "I understand what you said, but look at this bride, is she like the kind of crying you said? If it is in my opinion, she has the heart to die!"
"It's true, ordinary married women don't cry like this. Li Qingzhao somewhat agrees with Bai Sheng's point of view, recalling the scene when she got married, the so-called crying is just stretching a handkerchief into the red hijab to make a show, as for whether there are tears, whether you wipe your tears or not, how can others see it?
Yan Po regretted but still insisted on her opinion: "That doesn't prove that this bride is unwilling to marry, how does she know that the groom is so obscene......?
Yan Po regrets this is reasonable, according to the rules of ancient times, under normal circumstances, before the day of marriage, the married woman and her husband should not have met, the wedding night in the cave room candles, is the two of the "first meeting", no matter good or bad, satisfied or not, there is no chance to overturn the restart, as the saying goes, marry a chicken with a chicken and marry a dog with a dog is this truth.
Of course, in order to avoid really marrying a dog or a chicken, some families will seriously interrogate the matchmaker in advance, try to filter out the exaggerated elements in the matchmaker's mouth, get a more objective and true evaluation, and then decide whether to marry.
Several people were discussing, and suddenly an old man who looked like a rich man came out of the hall in the courtyard, and shouted: "Why don't you hurry up and throw her out for me?" This slut promised to be good before, and when he saw the groom's official, he changed his mind and sprinkled it! Hmph...... Is it up to you to marry or not to marry? What a joke!"
"That's it!" a middle-aged woman with a full face appeared and stood next to the rich man, "You have to marry today, and you have to marry if you don't marry!
