The wedding is being prepared step by step, and the marriage between the dignified Pingnan Mansion and the Zhang family, the richest man in Suzhou, is naturally as grand as possible.

For this reason, the Zhang family also bought a landscape garden in Jianye and arranged it as a wedding hall. Not only that, but also widely sent wedding cards, and even the emperor informed the Zhang family that he would send a messenger to attend the wedding, so that they could be prepared when the time came.

As the wedding date approached, Wei Yan became more and more uneasy. I was panicked, and I didn't know who to complain to. Moreover, in order to prevent her from escaping, King Pingnan sent people to guard it twelve hours a day, and even when she went out of the room, there would be a maid to follow. King Pingnan's actions undoubtedly deepened Wei Yan's sense of worry.

"My father is guarding me like a thief. Is it really as he said, it's all for the Pingnan Palace, so as not to be cooked by rabbits and dead dogs?" Wei Yan was thinking nonsense alone, and the more she thought about it, the more she overwhelmed herself.

Not far from the door, there was the sound of the maids talking, and Wei Yan listened attentively.

"Do you know? The Zhang family is really wealthy. For this wedding, I bought a landscape garden!"

"Yes, it's not surprising to think about it, after all, he is the richest man in Suzhou. The county lord married in the past, and he enjoyed endless glory and wealth. ”

"I don't know if I have such a life!"

"You, you don't have that much grass on your grave!"

"Hmph, don't look down on people, maybe I'll still be your mistress in the future. ”

"Alright, don't talk nonsense. It's almost to the door of the county lord's house!"

There was a sound of light footsteps outside the door, and Wei Yan hurriedly straightened it up, smiling unhappily.

I saw two handsome maids come in, and after saluting, they said, "The county lord, the prince sent the slaves and maids to ask the county lord if it is inconvenient for him to tailor the wedding dress." ”

King Pingnan deliberately went through the motions, pretending to ask for Wei Yan's opinion.

Wei Yan knew this, put on a straight face, and said angrily: "It's okay at any time, let the tailor come!"

"Yes! The slaves and maids are going to return to the king. The two maids slowly withdrew from the county lord's boudoir, and then hurriedly went back to King Pingnan.

Wei Yan looked around, and a bold thought surged in her heart.

On the other hand, Zhang Qichao's parents have already come to Jianye. Accompanied by Zhang Qichao, he visited the landscape garden where the wedding was held.

's father, Zhang Zongzhou, is also nearly 50 years old this year, but there is no trace of aging. He has black hair and a goatee. The eyes are kind, and the face is kind. But a little bit of a beer belly, obviously a pampered person.

Her mother, Xia Jinmei, is only 47 years old this year. was born with a beautiful appearance, and the mottled years did not leave traces on her face. With a dignified demeanor and kind eyes, no one would think that she was once the famous "sword moving Quartet" Xia Sanniang in the rivers and lakes.

"Father, mother, do you think the child is too extravagant and wasteful?" Zhang Qi saw that the decoration everywhere was luxurious, which was really contrary to his father's usual simple style.

Zhang Zongzhou was disapproving: "Child, these pomp and circumstance are not for the guests, nor for us, but for the King of Pingnan." ”

Seeing that there were no outsiders around, Zhang Zongzhou revealed the mystery. However, Zhang Zongzhou also saw his son and behaved a little listlessly.

Zhang Zongzhou asked, "What's the matter? Is it that the lady we found for you is not to your liking?"

Zhang Qichao hurriedly waved his hand again, shook his head and denied: "No, the child is very satisfied." It's just that...... Perhaps, when we met in a hurry, the woman hadn't had a good chat with me yet. The other party didn't take a fancy to Zhang Qichao, which made him a little speechless.

Zhang Zongzhou and Xia Jinmei looked at each other and smiled, the old couple are both from the past, how can they not know their son's heart, it is not good to expose it in person.

"Things are slow and things are round, especially emotional things, you have to be patient. Xia Jinmei carefully brushed the fallen leaves on her son's shoulders, "You have also grown up, you have to bear it like a man, instead of looking listless." When the guests see it, they will only say that you are not. ”

The boy wrote it down. Zhang Qichao responded obediently.

At this time, a report came from outside the door, saying that the eldest lady Zhang Chuyu had returned from Hangzhou. When Zhang Zongzhou and his wife heard this, they were overjoyed and hurried to greet them.

By the time they arrived, Zhang Chuyu had already arrived in the back garden. When the mother and daughter met, their eyes were red, and they hugged their heads and cried. After more than a year of separation, we will meet again today, just like a lifetime. It is inevitable to ask for warmth in the cold, and gossip is unavoidable.

In a blink of an eye, it was already evening, and it gradually dispersed. Leave time to talk to Zhang Chuyu and Zhang Qichao for a while.

Zhang Chuyu looked at his brother carefully and praised: "My brother hasn't seen you for a year, you have grown a lot taller and fatter." ”

Zhang Qichao replied excitedly: "No, I eat three bowls of rice a day, can I not get fat!" As he spoke, he took out a handkerchief from his arms and spread it out to his sister.

"This wasn't the one who wiped your tears when you left that year, you still keep them. Zhang Chuyu was moved in his heart and teased: "Be careful to show your daughter-in-law if you see it, maybe how to clean you up." ”

Zhang Qichao smirked and retracted his arms, "I'm not afraid, she doesn't like me very much anyway." ”

In front of his sister, Zhang Qichao had no scruples. told her all the causes and consequences of the marriage, and her words were full of helplessness.

"You actually like the county lord very much in your heart, right?" Zhang Chuyu heard the implicit meaning of his younger brother, "Then after getting married, just double the kindness to her." You don't know, my mother didn't like my father when she was young. But my father didn't give up and kept following my mother all the way around. Isn't that what we are? ”

"Really?" Zhang Qichao was suspicious, "I'm afraid, when the time comes, there will be endless quarrels and endless mouths." ”

"Puff~~~~~" Zhang Chuyu smiled from ear to ear, "Do you know......?

Zhang Chuyu thought of her deceased husband, and couldn't help but feel a pain in her heart. It turns out that time does not dilute the memory, but will become clearer and clearer with the passage of time.

Zhang Qichao cautiously mentioned his brother-in-law and said, "Sister, did you go to see him when you came this time?"

"Of course I will go to see it, how can I not go!" Zhang Chuyu smiled sadly, "When I went to see it, there was not a single weed." It seems that his father and mother are attentive and send people to maintain his tomb from time to time. ”

"Dad and Mom, occasionally go to see him in person. Zhang Qichao felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, "They often say that there is a buried family member, how can you not go to see it." ”

Zhang Chuyu's tears filled his eyes, he couldn't hold back anymore and flowed down. After a year of cultivation, the years are like a shuttle, and the heart is like stopping water, which turns out to be just self-paralysis. In the end, in a few words, the past came to my heart overnight.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it is an auspicious time.

After some red tape, the newcomer was finally welcomed into the cave room. Zhang Qichao was out to entertain guests, busy and dizzy, and did not arrive at the cave room until late at night.

Walking into the room, Zhang Qichao saw that the county lord who was covered with a happy pa had been trembling, and he was curious, and when he opened it, he saw that it was an unknown maid. And the county lord is gone.

The bride's wedding night was gone, and there was an uproar among the guests.

People say that painting Danqing, and when they arrived in the Zhang Qi Dynasty, they were splashing Danqing. Since Wei Yan disappeared for no reason, Zhang Qichao looked absent-minded and spent all day in his room painting.

Originally, he ran away from the wedding night, which made Zhang Qichao annoyed. even learned from Xiao Daoqian's mouth that she was very likely to go to the Queen's Village to find Xiao wrong, so she was even more annoyed.

The more Zhang Qichao thought about it, the more angry he became, and his face became hideous.

At this time, Zhang Zongzhou came in from outside, saw his son's ugly face, and deliberately coughed twice to remind Zhang Qichao that he was coming.

"Father!" Zhang Qi shrugged his head and stopped talking.

Zhang Zongzhou raised his voice and said: "King Pingnan has sent someone to promise me that he will send someone to the queen's village to arrest the county lord back, and severely punish her until she is willing to admit her mistake in public, and then send her back to Zhang's house." ”

"Don't! She doesn't even have anyone around her to talk to herself, which is quite pitiful. Zhang Qichao subconsciously responded, "Father, you still help me persuade the prince not to punish her." ”

"Hey, son, it's your bride who ran away, why did you say nice things for her?" Zhang Zongzhou deliberately raised his tone, "Our Zhang family is also a big family with a head and a face, and we can't lose this person just because the other party is the county lord." ”

Zhang Qi rushed to his father with an arrow step, and said good things for Wei Yan, "Anyway, the most embarrassing thing is me, I don't care, what else do you care." Dad, you should hurry up and talk to King Pingnan. ”

"Hahaha~~~~~"

Zhang Zongzhou laughed heartily and sighed: "People say that women don't stay, but my son doesn't stay in men." The daughter-in-law has run away and is still talking for her. Don't worry, my father has already told someone from the palace that the county lord has already worshiped heaven and earth with you, and he is a member of my Zhang family. As for the people, we will look for them and guarantee that they will be sent back to the Pingnan Mansion unharmed, and then pick them up when they confirm that they are fine. ”

"So my father is teasing me!" Zhang Qichao pursed his lips, glanced at his father, returned to the table, picked up the brush and drew blindly.

Zhang Zongzhou glanced at his son, and said angrily: "What are you still doing there?"

"What are you doing packing up?" Zhang Qichao didn't react.

"Hey, of course I'm going to find my daughter-in-law to come back!" Zhang Zongzhou looked like he hated iron but not steel, "Do you want us to be in-laws to help you find it?"

"I'm not going!" Zhang Qi came up to the cow's temper, "She's going to meet her lover, what am I going to do! It's embarrassing to go, don't go! Don't go!"

Zhang Zongzhou was speechless for a moment, and spread his hands and said, "I really don't want to go, but how can I smell a sour smell, like a vinegar jar has been overturned?"

"Nothing! impossible!" Zhang Qichao finally admitted, "The child is just angry." Father, do you seem stingy with your child, should I be more generous?"

How did Zhang Zongzhou answer his son's question? Leave it to the next chapter, "Unexpected Encounters and Unexpected People."
