Chapter 52: The Wild Hope of Wheat
Chapter 52: Wheat's Ambition
The three brides boarded the sedan chair.
Li Yanqing stepped onto the elephant dragon, walked around three large sedans for three circles, and slowly left the ground as the three of them shouted "get up the sedans" in unison.
But don't think that the wedding will end, but in fact the hardships for the bride and groom really begin.
It was more than an hour before the wedding party arrived outside the gate of Gong County. For the people of Gong County, the gate of Gong County was the gate of the new home of the three brides. Xue Shou and others had to save face in Haoqiu before, so of course they had to try to get it back. Otherwise, he, the wedding party, would be incompetent. With Xue Shou shouting, amid the laughter of the people of Gong County, Yao Yi and Du Ruhui and others rushed forward and blocked the road to the wedding party.
"Please give me a gift!"
"Yes, please give me a gift from the bride!"
In traditional customs, this is called a tramway text, which complements the makeup-inducing poems when welcoming the groom, which is actually the confession of the bride to the groom.
Previously, Li Yanqing had made poems in Haoqiuwu Fort three times and seven steps, which had amazed everyone.
Du Ruhui and others naturally regretted it and missed such a wonderful show in vain. You know, Yan Qing has almost never written poems over the years, so that the "Ge" article is hard to find. Today, three excellent works have appeared in a row. How can people not be amazed? The sword of the Goose Master is still sharp and his literary talent is still amazing? For this reason, Du Ruhui and others will definitely not let the three girls go.
Now, it is the man's family who stands up to make things difficult for the girl's family.
Although Pei Renji and others were on the carriage behind the sedan chair, they all smiled knowingly.
Perhaps the scenes in front of them are so familiar to them. Seeing these, I can’t help but feel them.
However, Du Ruhui and others failed in the end.
The three girls were prepared for a long time. Pei Cuiyun wrote three articles on the obstacle course a few days ago.
Changsun Wugui is innocent and decisive and capable. Although he is also well-versed in literature, he is not as good as Pei Cuiyun.
Thinking back to the beginning, Pei Cuiyun was tangling Li Yanqing every day and talking about poetry and articles.
It is not a great work, but it can also be called the best. In fact, even if it is not the best, Du Ruhui and others cannot fail.
But when the three obstruction-car articles were read in public, the three girls were sitting in the sedan chair, shy on one side and vaguely worried on the other side. If Pei Cuiyun could still say that those three articles were not bad at noon today, after Li Yanqing's three seven-step poems, her confidence was a bit lacking. Du Ruhui also knew the three girls' thoughts, and deliberately slowed down, which made the three girls so angry that they bit them tightly.
Finally, the obstacle course text has been approved.
But Li Yanqing's hardship began again...
Eight carried the sedan chair to the outside of the Li Mansion and stopped again. However, this time, Xue Suo Du Ruhui, Yao Yi and others didn't know where to hide. They saw Mrs. Gao, with a group of female relatives, with a gloomy smile on their faces, holding sticks in their hands, and pressing towards Li Yanqing with a smile.
During the wedding, there is a procedure called the son-in-law, whose function is to kill the groom's majesty.
All the women on the bride's side will attend and knock the groom with a wooden stick. If Li Yanqing wants to get married, he must rush into the courtyard to end. However, Yan Qing found that he didn't know who came up with the idea. The place where he got off the sedan was far away from the gate of Li's mansion.
"Mom, don't want it!"
Li Yanqing looked at Mrs. Gao with a pitiful look.
Mrs. Gao smiled and said, "My son just do it, I will definitely not let you suffer for my mother."
That being said, Yan Qing also knew that it was not easy to pass this level easily. Looking back, the three brothers Xiong Kuohai consciously took a step back more than ten steps. This is the mother-in-law beating her son-in-law. They are such idle people, so they should go as far as they can.
With a clear mind, Li Yanqing gritted his teeth, lifted the front panel, and rushed towards the door.
I felt that the wooden stick fell like raindrops, and it was not accompanied by the noise of the women's screams. After just a few dozen steps, Li Yanqing rushed over, he had become embarrassed, standing on the steps of the gate, covering his chest from time to time, and making a look of fear.
This also made the women's deputies feel happy.
The groom has finished packing, but the bride is still in the sedan chair...
Don’t worry, as soon as Mrs. Gao and others entered the gate of Li’s mansion, they saw a group of men in blue clothes running out of the mansion, led by Xu Jingzong. They were all blue shirts and black boots, holding pieces of prototype red brocade felt pads in their hands, laying them in front of three large sedan chairs. Xu Jingzong shouted: “Please, the bride, get in.”
This is also a traditional ceremony called ‘Transfer’.
But when the three brides walked out of the sedan chair, their lotus steps moved lightly, and stepped on a brocade felt pad. Then they walked forward, and as soon as their feet left the felt pad, the man in blue picked it up and ran to the front to continue. The three brides blushed and walked shyly towards the gate of the Li Mansion.
The meaning of the transfer is to pass on the family line and contains the extension of the future.
Du Ruhui and others stood beside him, shouting loudly, and from time to time someone sucked and whistled. If it were a thinner woman, she would have been embarrassed to walk. Fortunately, these three brides seemed to have never heard of the noise. Although they were a little shy, they did not lose their manners.
After the transfer is over, the wedding will officially enter **...
The bright moon is in the sky, and Chang'an City exudes a bit of coldness and bleakness.
The east and west markets have closed. Since the beginning of the year, Chang'an has implemented a night ban, which has been three months in a blink of an eye. Since the implementation of the night ban, it has made the prosperous West Beijing much deserted.
Li Mi in the Central Plains was in a turmoil, and Guanzhong was also not very stable.
First, Xue Ju, the captain of Jincheng County, raised an army to rebel, claiming to be the overlord of the Western Qin Dynasty, and was invincible. The eldest son Xue Rengao and the second son Xue Renyue took advantage of the unfair courage of ten thousand men. Although the Sui army repeatedly sent troops to quell the rebellion, they were defeated and returned repeatedly. At the same time, bandits from all over Guanzhong also began to rage.
Mai Zizhong was alone, walking through the deep path and coming to the lotus pond.
The lotus flowers in the pond were blooming, which was particularly beautiful. He walked into the pavilion, sat down with his clothes, and looked at the lotus flowers swaying in the wind, and was stunned for a moment.
I think she has become that person’s wife at this time!
As a general of the Black Stone Mansion Eagle Fighting Army, how could Mai Zizhong not know about Li Yanqing's marriage?
Logically speaking, he should have rushed back to Gong County as soon as possible to congratulate Li Yanqing in person. But how could he face the beauty he admired in the past and become someone else's bride? He thought he could face this matter calmly. After all, Yan Qing was his savior, and he had already married. But when he heard about this, his only feeling was the stinging pain from his chest.
After all, I still can't forget her...
Mai Zizhong shook his head and sighed quietly.
"Wheat, wheat!"
A gentle voice came from a distance.
Mai Zizhong quickly stood up and looked up. He saw a group of people coming up the path, a woman leading the way, wearing a loose skirt, walking slowly.
"Madam, why are you coming out? The imperial physician came just now, didn't you want you to have more rest?"
Mai Zizhong hurriedly walked down from the pavilion and walked forward quickly.
That woman was Mai Zizhong's wife Yuwen Feng.
Yuwen Feng is Yuwen Zhiji's daughter, but compared with her father, she is much more generous and hates evil. She seems to enjoy Mai Zizhong's considerate, and the two walked into the pavilion. A maid walked in with two stools, put a stool on another stool, and put the food plate on top of the stool.
"I just heard you didn't eat dinner, so I asked the kitchen to make some soup for you."
Yuwen Feng said, pushed the jade cup in front of Mai Zizhong, and then waved his hand to signal the maids to retreat.
"I'm concerned about Mrs. Lau!"
Mai Zizhong took a sip of the soup, and at the same time, he secretly blamed himself in his heart: Maizi, Maizi, you have married a wife, how can you still think of other people's wife? Although Feng Jie is not as beautiful as Cuiyun and not as gentle as Cuiyun, she is very good to you. She is indeed not as talented as Cuiyun, but you must also understand that you are Maizizhong, not the literary Li Yanqing.
"Maizi, but what's wrong with me?"
Mai Zizhong was stunned and shook his head quickly, "What's the matter there?"
Yuwen Feng showed a quiet smile. After a moment of silence, he suddenly said, "Maizi, are you still thinking about Mei Yun in your heart?"
"Well...ah, don't think too much, I don't care about anyone."
"Don't hide it from me. You and I have been married for two years. How can I not know your thoughts? I also know that you liked Cuiyun girl back then, but it was a pity... You were born with a beautiful young master, but it made you lose your slaughter in Yuanbi City. In fact, these things were so powerful that even if I was a deaf person, I could hear some clues. A few days ago, Gong County sent an invitation, and you were distracted.
Logically speaking, the Young Master Go is both your savior and your superior.
How could you not attend the event of his marriage? Although you said at the time that you were still sad for Lao Fei. But I knew in my heart that you were sad for yourself, right?"
Mai Zizhong was speechless, but he didn't know how to defend himself.
In fact, what is there to justify this? What Yuwen Feng said is all facts.
"Madam, are you angry?"
"Of course I'm angry. Think about it, when my husband is by my side, he has another woman in his mind. Although I think I'm a big shot, I'm also a woman. I'll be jealous and feel sad. But I know that my guild will be better off."
One sentence made Maizizhong blush.
He lowered his head, and after a long silence, he suddenly said, "Madam, I don't want to go back to Gong County!"
"Are you afraid to see Sister Cuiyun?"
“This is just one reason, but not the main one.
To be honest, if Li Langjun is in charge of Heishi Mansion, Gong County will be safe and worry-free. I am in Heishi Pass, like a redundant person... It’s not that Li Langjun is despised with me, but I am really staying there and there is almost nothing to do. Heishi Pass has Du Ruhui Xueshou, extraordinary wisdom, Luo Shixin Wang Fubao, and his martial arts skills are very good. In addition, Li Langjun himself is also a decisive person, so I am not very practical when I stay in Heishi Pass."
"What do you want?"
Mai Zizhong raised his head and looked up at the bright moon in the stars.
"I have been thinking about this problem these two days... I think I, Mai Zizhong, is also a seven-foot man, and I can't live a lifelong life with my grandfather's care. I want to build achievements and establish my own achievements... Mai Zizhong, I hope that one day when people mention me, Mai Zizhong, they don't say 'He is Mai Tiebang', but say 'Mai Tiebang', Mai Zizhong's grandfather'.
I heard that Lingnan has been extremely uneasy recently, but the court has been unable to take care of it.
So I want to report to the court and ask myself to go to Lingnan to quell the war... The big chessboard in the Central Plains may have no place to stand, but I hope that I can show my power in the foreign land."
Yuwen Feng smiled gently, and she stretched out her hand and stroked Maizi Zhong's forehead and hair was messy.
"Maizi, since you have thought about it, just do it. No matter what, I will follow you... One day I will tell the world that my husband, Yuwen Feng, is no less than that Goose Master."
