Chapter Twenty-Eight: Murong Marries a Daughter (I)
On the sixth day of the first month of February, it is advisable to marry, consecrate, and pray for blessings, and avoid opening the market and repairing graves.
This day is the only son of the richest man in Jiangnan, the Nangong family, Nangong Liu's big day, and he married the second daughter of the Murong family, Murong Shuang, a wealthy family in the Central Plains. The two families are thousands of miles apart, and it is naturally impossible for the team to go all the way from Jiangnan to Hanzhong Mansion to greet relatives. As one of the dowry gifts, the Nangong family sent a Heming Villa outside Gusu City to Murong's name, and the Murong family arrived at the villa early to prepare for the wedding.
On the Nangong Mansion, which is less than ten miles away from Heming Villa, the lanterns are colorful, and the red is hung green. After two 10,000 firecrackers, a team of people surrounded a handsome boy in a big red costume and walked out of the house in the smoke of gunpowder. Needless to say, this is the sister-in-law of the Nangong family, today's groom, Nangong Liu. I saw that although this Nangong Liu was sword eyebrows and starry eyes, she was elegant and elegant, but her complexion was a little dull, but she was also energetic when she was rushed by the red wedding dress. There are also many young talents next to him, but there is one person who is particularly outstanding in appearance and demeanor, and Nangong Liu complements each other. This person is Nangong Liu's friend Qin Jian, the future leader of the Liangguang Martial Arts Alliance, and later married Murong Shanshan, the third daughter of the Murong family.
One after another, the sedan chair, the guard of honor, and the drum music have been neatly arranged, and the etiquette master shouted: "The auspicious time is coming, let's go!" Immediately the drums played in unison, and the group went to the Heming Villa. When I arrived at the place, I met Taishan Taishui, and carried out various rituals to welcome the girl out of the pavilion, and a set of regulations came down, it was already dusk, but finally the bride was greeted in a sedan chair. What came out with the bride was a send-off team dominated by the Murong sisters.
There are a total of nine sisters in the Murong family, except for the eldest sister, who has already left the cabinet and will go to the banquet with other relatives and friends later, the remaining seven sisters are accompanied by their relatives. At this time, Murong Jiumei was still a little Lori with an apple face, one moment she was still shedding tears for the second sister's marriage, and the next moment she was running back and forth in the team with round eyes, and her little face was flushed with excitement. The third sister, Murong Shanshan, let the seventh sister and the eighth sister look at her, but the seventh sister and the eighth sister were not two years older than her, and they were at the age of childhood.
Murong Shanshan was so angry that she was about to catch the three naughty lolis back, but she felt a gaze staring at her. When he raised his eyes, it was Qin Jian, who was accompanying the groom, who was constantly peeking at him. The eyes of the two were separated when they touched each other, and their hearts were beating wildly: what a beautiful man/woman!
The welcoming procession has to take two different routes to take the meaning of "consummation". When I came, I took the official road, and when I went back, I took a path at the foot of the mountain, which was also planned for a long time. But what I didn't expect was that about halfway through, another team came to greet the family.
When the two welcoming teams meet, there is a name called "Xi Chongxi", which is not a joy or a joy, but a great bad luck. If there is an open high ground on the side of the road, the two teams will compete for the high ground, overpowering each other and letting the bad luck fall on the other side. However, there are woods on both sides of this place, and the high ground is impossible to rob; if you do it, the other team is poorly equipped and sparsely populated, and the groom is a thin man with triangular eyes, sitting on an equally thin gray donkey; except for the bride and groom, there are a total of five people with the sedan chair man and the bride, and there is no chance of winning against the strong Nangong Murong team. However, it is precisely because the opponent is too cold that it is unbearable to bully. And looking at the tall and stupid face of the two sedan chair men who started the head, if they don't know how to advance or retreat, they can see red, it is also bad luck.
The bride of the Nangong family is a seven-trick person, and when she saw that the main family did not open her mouth to drive away, she suggested that it would be good for our two families to "exchange children"?
The so-called sub-exchange is to let the brides on both sides exchange fans, which is brought by the bride and means to block evil. The meaning of the exchange between the two sides is that I block your evil, you block my evil, and both sides are auspicious.
The two sides discussed it for a while, and both felt that this idea was very good. So the two sedan chairs side by side, each opened a line of curtains, Murong Shuang handed over a gilt openwork ivory fan worth a thousand gold, and the bride over there reached out to take it, and then ......
grabbed Murong Shuang's wrist!
Before Murong Shuang could react, he felt a strong force crashing into it, directly knocking the two sedan chairs apart, the two brides hugged each other, rolled down the dust, the big red hijab was thrown off, and the gold, silver and jade ornaments fell down, scattering six thousand green silks. At this moment, the Nangong Murong family was stunned, not because they had committed a taboo by lifting the hijab early, but because after the hijab was lifted, two identical faces were revealed!
Nangong Murong was stunned, but the people over there moved, and in the scream of the bride over there, the triangular-eyed groom jumped up in the air, pulled out a soft sword from his waist, and swayed a puff of silver rain, covering his head towards the five Murong family members closest to him. And the four sedan chair men also magically pulled out their weapons from the sedan bar, three of them held swords, and one of them held double sticks, and they smashed into the Nangong Murong family's welcoming team. In an instant, a fountain of blood gushed out, and severed limbs flew sideways. Although these two families are martial arts heroes, there are also many relatives and friends who do not practice martial arts.
But after all, the names of the two families were not blown out, and after the initial panic, they quickly calmed down. Some of the martial arts practitioners formed a protective circle, enclosing those who did not know martial arts and the wounded in the middle. Another group of martial arts masters, such as Qin Jian and the four older Murong sisters, joined the battle array. Since the welcoming party could not see the sword soldiers, and none of them brought their usual weapons, Murong Shanshan had an idea, untied his belt, and waved it towards the assailant, and the other sisters followed suit when they saw it. These belts are all woven of gold and silver silk, and the sword is difficult to hurt, and it is heavy and fast to draw on people, and it is a few points more powerful than ordinary soft whips. The rest of the people also took materials from the spot, broke off branches to make swords, picked up sticks as sticks, and so on, and even fought well.
However, the waves were uneven, and the two real and fake brides scuffled together for some reason. The mouth constantly accuses the other party of being a fake. Even the sound was not far away, and it was impossible to distinguish for a while. The people of the Nangong family were afraid of offending the future young grandmother, so they didn't dare to start, and the people of the Murong family only had three youngest sisters left, so they had any ideas.
Over there, Murong Shanshan and Qin Jian, who were originally fighting against the sedan chair with two sticks, caught a glimpse of the chaos in the rear, and couldn't help but panic in their hearts, and the offense and defense in their hands also softened, revealing several flaws one after another. However, the palanquin man didn't seem to see it, and he still held the door unhurriedly, and had no intention of attacking at all. Qin Jian's heart moved, and he said to Murong Shuang: "Murong Woman, you go back and stabilize the rear, and I will contain this person." ”
Murong Shanshan looked at the palanquin man, saw that his face was indifferent, and felt that the rear was really urgent, so he gritted his teeth and said, "Please Qin Shaoxia wait for a while, I'll go back!" It is strange to say that the sedan chair man who made the double stick began to be brave and abnormal, and the two cooked copper short sticks in his hand fell down when they touched people, and they were injured when they rubbed it, so Qin Jian and Murong Shuang, the two strongest young masters, would fight him. At first, it was very difficult for the two of them to work together, but now Qin Jian actually felt that he could handle it alone. He knew that there might be some of them, but he didn't think too much about it in the melee.
Speaking of Murong Shanshan, as soon as she returned, she shouted loudly: "Second sister, get out of the way!" A soft whip was thrown between the two who were scuffling. The real and false brides exclaimed in unison, "Third sister!" and jumped backwards at the same time. Murong Shanshan rushed into the middle to separate the two, and then beckoned someone to come over and surround the two, and then breathed a sigh of relief. I heard the two brides shouting in unison: "Third sister, she is a fake! Can't you even recognize the second sister?"
