(ps: The wedding is too difficult to write, I checked a lot of information, and I barely got to the past, if there is something wrong, please blame, or laugh it off.) Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info)
When the two of them heard this, they couldn't help but applaud: "I can't imagine that there is such a wonderful thing in the world, it really has to be amazing." The shopkeeper picked up the box again and looked at it, then sent it to Zhang Linxin, and said: "This girl, thanks to the two of you for your heart, you have helped me answer this poem that has puzzled me for many years, this bracelet, even if it is my thanks, please take it as a gift for your sister's wedding." ”
Zhang Lin hurriedly excused himself and said: "Shopkeeper, how can this make this thing too valuable, how can I take away the beauty of people?" Dugu Jian also persuaded: "Yes, shopkeeper, we just said this casually, we can't afford such a valuable thank you gift." ”
Unexpectedly, the shopkeeper shoved the box into the girl's hand and said, "Where are these words, you two? It may be a casual act for you, but you have answered a question that I have had for so many years, and I can feel at ease, which is not a small matter for me. What's more, it is precisely because this thing is so valuable, if it is remembered, I am afraid that it will cause death in the next place. I think the two of them are people in the rivers and lakes, young, but they are extraordinary, I will hand over this thing to you, the two of you will be able to take good care of it, and I am also very relieved. Take it!"
Seeing that he was so resolute, the two had no choice but to agree, and the girl said, "Since this is the case, then well, we will take it." It's just that we can't take advantage of the shopkeeper in vain, there are thirty taels of gold here, even if it is the money we paid for this bracelet. She took out the gold given by Yan Qing from her baggage, took out three ingots and ten taels of gold ingots and put them on the table.
The shopkeeper nodded and said, "It's okay, with this money, you can also close the shop here in the future, and go south to cross the river and then go to find land to open a store, it is much better than continuing to stay in the place where these two armies are fighting." Thank you both!"
The three of them spoke for a while, and Kenshin got up to say goodbye, and the shopkeeper sent the two out of the door. Taking advantage of the fact that it was still early, the two of them got on their horses and went out of the east gate to continue their journey. After another day, they finally came to the territory of Mengcheng County in the evening, which was already full of the world of the rebel army led by Li Ying and Yan Qing.
As far as the eye can see, although many farmlands have been abandoned and there are not many pedestrians passing by, every time you pass through a village or town, you can see that the faces of those people are smiling from the heart, and the smoke has risen from every house, which looks like a peaceful and peaceful scene. Jian Xin and the others knew that these were inseparable from the bloody battles of the rebels led by Li Ying and Yan Qing and the Jin people who defended the people here.
After passing Wangtong Town, they arrived at a place called Jia Zhai, and they happened to meet a group of rebels, led by Yao Jingping, the eighth of the eight thieves of the Yellow River. He also recognized the two of Jian Xin, and hurriedly hit the horse to meet him, shouting loudly: "Brother Dugu! Miss Zhang!" The two naturally recognized Yao Jingping, and hurriedly rode over to meet him.
The three horses intersected, and they were all reined in by the owner of the horse, and stopped in place, Dugu Jian and Zhang Linxin bowed their hands to Yao Jingping and said: "Brother Yao!" Yao Jingping also bowed and smiled: "See the outside! They are all their own people, why bother so many courtesies! Brother Dugu, when Li Xiao came back a few days ago, he told us the news that you would come, but I didn't expect to be met by me here, it really makes me happy! Hurry up, please, let's go back to the city together!"
Dugu Jian asked: "Brother Yao, it's so late, why are you still taking people to patrol such a distant place?" Yao Jingping pointed to a hillside in the northeast direction and said: "There is a lookout post over there, I just took someone to change the guard and came back, but I didn't expect to meet you so coincidentally." ”
While speaking, someone had already gone back to report on Pegasus, and Yao Jingping and Jian Xin walked together and came to Mengcheng. By the time he approached the county seat, Yan Qing had already been rewarded, and he took Yao Jingyuan and others out to greet him.
Dugu Jian and Zhang Linxin hadn't seen Yan Qing for a long time, and when they saw them again at this time, they were very happy in their hearts, only to see that he was still wearing a green shirt, standing at the gate of the city, looking at the two Jian Xin who were coming over here with a smile on their faces.
"Brother Yan!"
"Brother Dugu, Miss Zhang!"
Jian Xin and the two hurriedly got off their horses and walked over quickly, Yan Qing also took a few steps, reached out to hold the hands of the two people, nodded and said, "It's been hard all the way!" Dugu Jian continued: "Fortunately, it's the eldest brother who has been fighting with the Jin people these days, and he has worked a lot." Zhang Linxin smiled and said: "Oh, Brother Yan, Brother Dugu, don't compliment each other here, everyone is not idle anyway, it's not easy." ”
Yan Qing smiled, "Well, it's not easy, it's still Miss Zhang's quick talk." Let's go, let's go into the city!" he took the two of them and walked towards the city.
At this time, the anti-Jin rebel army led by Li Ying, Yan Qing and others won successive battles in the Huaisi area, and the team had grown to tens of thousands of people, threatening the enemy in the Lianghuai area. Since the Bazi Army, the Zhongyi Baoshe, and the Red Turban Army in the north have all been incorporated into the official army, they are now the most powerful rebel army. Even Chi Xianqiu's Taishan 18 Village does not have so many people.
The entire Mengcheng is more like a military camp than the Ezhou City where Yue Fei garrisoned. At a glance, there are all people in military uniforms, but ordinary people are very rare. As soon as the good news that Li Ying's beloved daughter was going to get married, not only people from all walks of life and martial arts people in the Lianghuai area, but also heroes and heroes in Shandong, Hebei, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Jinghu all sent people to send gifts to congratulate. Even Han Shizhong, who was in Chuzhou, sent his eldest son Han Yan to bring a congratulatory gift to say goodbye. The entire city of Mongolia exuded a joyful atmosphere, and everyone was busy with this big wedding.
It's just that Xu Tianchang and Li Yao are also busy, and they can't come to meet Jian Xin, and in two days, it will be their wedding day. Yan Qing took the two of them back to their residence, settled down first, and asked them to wait until tomorrow to see Xu Tianchang and Li Yao respectively.
The two of them rested at their residence for the night, and early the next morning, soldiers led them to see Xu Tianchang and Li Yao. As soon as Xu Tianchang came back and joined the rebel army, he beheaded the generals and captured the flag and made great contributions. Therefore, taking the opportunity of this marriage, Li Ying ordered someone to clean up a house in the south of the city as his and Li Yao's future residence. At this time, Xu Tianchang was already busy, beckoning everyone to clean up and decorate the new house. As soon as they saw Dugu Jian coming, they were also very happy, and the two couldn't help but greet each other.
And after Zhang Linxin and Li Yao met, the two daughters' families had endless words, and they chatted until noon, still unsatisfied. The girl took out the pair of jasmine buckles and handed them to Li Yao. After Li Yao accepted it, she also urged Zhang Linxin to marry Dugu Jian as soon as possible, and the girl was also shy when she heard it, and the two of them inevitably had a fight.
On November 23, everyone changed into new clothes and rejoiced for this beautiful couple. The hall of worship of heaven and earth is set up in the hall of the largest wealthy family in Mengcheng, hanging lanterns and colorful decorations, decorated with flowers, and hanging on the main hall is the "holy hand scholar" Xiao Rang's own book "the combination of heaven" four big characters. Everyone sat on both sides, talking and laughing, so lively!
Xu Tianchang's parents died early, and Yan Qing became the man's parent, and sat on the main seat with Li Ying, and Pei Xuan, Du Xing, Yang Lin, Xiao Rang and other Liangshanbo only remaining heroes sat on both sides. Han Yanzhi, Wu Daquan, the leader of the Liding Gang, and the heroes and heroes from all walks of life who came to congratulate sat down to greet each other. Yao Jingyuan and several brothers of the Yao family led troops to patrol inside and outside the city to prevent any enemies from mixing in and causing trouble.
At the third quarter of the Shen hour, the auspicious time had expired, and the sound of trumpets and cannons sounded outside the house, roaring continuously and extremely enthusiastic. Praise Lisheng praised loudly, Dugu Jian and Uncle Wan accompanied Xu Tianchang out and stood in the middle of the hall. Before long, a sound of silk and bamboo sounded, and everyone saw Zhang Linxin in front, leading Li Yao, who was wearing a red brocade robe, a phoenix crown, and a red scarf on her face, to slowly come over. Li Xiao followed behind with more than a dozen men and women, as the people who sent off their relatives.
Men on the left and women on the right, the bride and groom stand side by side, standing in front of the red carpet. Zanlisheng first led the two of them to enter incense candles and kowtow to the gods and ancestors. After that, Cai Lang shouted: "The auspicious time has come, the newcomer will worship the church!" Xu Tianchang and Li Yao turned to the heaven and earth outside, and Zanlisheng shouted: "Worship the heaven and earth!" The two slowly knelt down and kowtowed to the sky.
Got up and turned back to the lobby. "Second worship Gaotang!" The two knelt down to Li Ying, Yan Qing and the others. Then, Nazan Lisheng continued to shout, "Husband and wife worship each other!" Through the thin layer of red veil, the two people looked at each other and smiled.
"Send the bride into the cave room!" (To be continued.) )
