Chapter 440 The husband and wife worship each other
"The auspicious time is coming soon. Please step aside. Please take your seats. The parents of both parties and the officiant of the wedding are invited to take their seats." Following Bu Hang's call, the maiko musicians from Yumen Xiaozhu filed out of the lobby of the Hou Mansion, and everyone took their seats.
The eaves outside the hall were filled with guests who were not qualified to enter the lobby. Thousands of water columns were falling straight from the wide roof, forming a spectacular water curtain.
"Please bring out the newlyweds..." After all, Tu Yuhun's envoy still hadn't arrived. Bu Hang saw everyone sitting down and started the wedding ceremony.
The groom and the bride were brought to the center of the hall and stood there. Xipo quietly retreated. The rules of worship had been told to the bride several times, but I don’t know if this wooden beauty had listened.
There were four chairs facing south in the hall, and they were occupied by two parents of the newlyweds, one in high spirits and the other with anxious expressions.
"I would like to invite the officiant, His Royal Highness King Cheng, to send you some auspicious words." As soon as Bu Hang finished speaking, the noise inside and outside the hall gradually stopped.
King Cheng, dressed in royal robes, moved into the hall, stood facing south with his two parents on his back, and began to praise the outstanding performance of the newlyweds, saying that this marriage was a match made in heaven.
"...Okay, I won't say anything more. The showers have just stopped and the spring night is short. Let the two newlyweds quickly salute." King Cheng said for a long time, using the best words in the world.
It was used on two newcomers, and no one seemed to feel the slightest violation.
Bu Hang cleared his throat and shouted loudly: "The auspicious time has come, let's worship the heaven and the earth——"
…
After all, the guard in the capital has seen the world. He only glanced at the expedited token and let He Qizhou, who was covered in mud, into the city. Horses can run outside the city, but horses can only walk in the outer city. Well, people can run.
That's it! He Qizhou dismounted and started running again. The rain stopped. He Qizhou, who was all sticky, didn't know whether he had more rain or more sweat. Anyway, the smell could smoke the guard ten feet away.
The journey from the west gate of Kuo City, the west gate of the outer city, and the west gate of the inner city was relatively smooth. After the heavy rain, there were not many pedestrians blocking the way. He Qizhou, who used his Qinggong with all his strength, arrived at the west gate of the imperial city in a blink of an eye.
"Stop! Stop! Why are you like this?" The commander of the Jinyi Guards in front of the door covered his nose and blocked He Qizhou's way.
"Eight hundred miles urgent! Ten thousand urgent!" His throat was hoarse and his voice was unclear. He Qizhou tried hard to speak clearly. He held the token in one hand and moved the bamboo bag behind his back to his chest with the other hand, but Zhu Feng had already
It was covered in mud.
No one has ever joked about military affairs, and the commander of Jin Yiwei certainly would not joke about his own life, so although he did not see Zhu Feng, he still waved to let He Qizhou pass: "Let's go quickly."
He Qizhou rushed in, and a troublesome question immediately came to his mind, "Where is the Jinan Marquis Mansion?"
"Hey! Stop! The Donghua Gate is not there!" the commander of the Jinyi Guards shouted. The place where the imperial city receives letters is at the Donghua Gate. He Qizhou, who had just entered the city gate, was immediately stopped by a group of guards in front.
"How to get to the Marquis Mansion?" He Qizhou asked, his clay face only revealing his bloodshot eyes.
"Go all the way east along the main road in the city, and you will see carriages parked on the street. The house with the brightest lights is that!" Commander Jinyiwei suddenly thought that all the officials were in the Jinan Houfu today. It seems that this postman's brain is quite good.
, directly looking for the person in charge seemed to further prove the urgency of the military situation, and hurriedly pointed out the direction.
"No thanks." The commander said loudly as he watched He Qizhou unfold his amazing figure and disappear in an instant.
"Sir, he didn't say thank you." The person next to the commander reminded him uninterestedly.
"My heartfelt voice, idiot!"
…
In the hall of the third entrance, only six brothers and sisters, Zhang Qingrou, Lin Chuan, Yang Shan, Liu Junzhi, and Wu Erhan, were left. The rest had gone to the fifth entrance. Even if they were good friends, no one wanted to sit with them.
Here, missing this once-in-a-century wedding, all the military students who did not know the relationship between Xiaoxue and He Qizhou poured into the backyard.
"Now that we're here, I decided to take a look!" Zhang Qingrou said with determination.
Lin Chuan muttered: "You were the one who just said not to go and see..."
"Are you going or not?" Zhang Qingrou yelled angrily. Although she had only seen it once, she was still surprised by Xu Mu's wedding dress. It seemed to be every girl's dream wedding dress.
"Okay, let's take a look." Lin Chuan could only nod.
"Then what are you waiting for? Let's go!" Urna stood up in a hurry, took Zhang Qingrou's hand and rushed to the backyard. She was even more curious about Da Qi's wedding ceremony.
As the son of Tu Yuhun, Li Ruogu was placed in the fifth hall near the main table, while most of the other tribute students in the Military Academy were in the third hall. Liu Junzhi was the youngest son of the second assistant, and he could have been in the fifth hall.
He himself took the initiative to get together with his classmates. Since the two girls had gone to see it, the remaining four people were not willing to sit down and walked to the backyard together.
The downpour had completely stopped, and more guests under the eaves gathered in the courtyard in front of the main entrance. The last six people who arrived could only stand in the courtyard, tiptoeing and watching the wedding in progress in the lobby.
instrument.
"Two bows to the high hall - one kowtow -" Bu Hang shouted the command loudly, but his face was slightly hot. He was a little ashamed of himself. If it weren't for the crown prince's order, how could he, a second-rank official, condescend to do the job for two juniors?
Conduct wedding ceremonies.
Xu Muxue slowed down Xiao Jihuai for half a beat, turned to the north, and mechanically knelt down, bent over, and kowtowed towards the four people sitting on the throne.
…
This is it! A long line of carriages blocked the entire street. The mansion at the end of the alley was brightly lit, which reflected the clouds above. He Qizhou gritted his teeth and quickly walked through the gaps in the carriages!
"Who is it?" "Looking for death! Do you know whose car it is?" "Who is it? Stop!"...
He Qizhou splashed water when he rushed in, brushing against the shaft of the carriage, frightening the horses, the driver and the guards guarding the carriage. They screamed and cursed for a while. Several guards in uniform standing in the alley saw a "black-clothed man"
"People" rushed straight to the Hou Mansion and began to panic. They circled the carriage and chased and intercepted He Qizhou.
How could He Qizhou be willing to give up at this last moment? He forced himself to take a breath of Qi and used Lingyun Jue to move his footwork like flying, breaking through the blockade of the two people in front. The gate of Jinan Hou Mansion was already in front of him.
"Stop!" There was a person standing outside the door, who also shouted "stop" in a low voice, but it was like a muffled drum beating in his heart.
He Qizhou opened his already disobedient eyelids with force, and a bitter face came into view, "I'm going! Xiao Jie! Cheng Zong!"
"Make way! Hurry up for eight hundred miles!" He Qizhou could only hold up the token again that allowed him to travel all the way through Gongmen. When the six or seven Jinyi guards who were chasing him saw this, they were all a little confused and stopped in their tracks.
"Get out! This is a private house, send the letter to the Yamen!" Xiao Jie is not a member of the public servants. Today's task is to guard the door. Naturally, he will not do this. He covers his nose with his sleeves when talking. Such a close distance is really unbearable.
The other party smelled sour and rotten, and flies from nowhere were flying on the head of He Qizhou who had stopped.
The fly probably came from the horse. I don't know which inn it came from. Maybe there has never been a fly that can fly so far... "Pa!" He Qizhou slapped himself hard, thinking, why again?
I started thinking wildly, no, I have to find a way to get in!
He Qizhou's palm did not drive away the flies very much, but it knocked up the mud from his hair and face, and splashed onto Xiao Jie's cuffs covering his mouth and nose.
Xiao Jie said angrily: "It's useless to kill yourself, get out of here, don't force me to take action!"
"I'll swat the flies." He Qizhou thought of a way and turned towards the end of the alley, but it was a dead end.
"Hey, who are you?" Jin Yiwei did not dare to be careless and approached again.
…
"Three kowtows - husband and wife bow -" As soon as Bu Hang finished speaking, Xu Muxue slowly stood up and turned to Xiao Jinhuai opposite. Hidden in his sleeve was a note written last night.
It is a condition and a promise: "Kill the murderer who killed He Qizhou, and then we can have sex."
Inside and outside the hall, everyone's eyes were fixed on the newlyweds, watching them kneeling, bending, and lowering their heads opposite each other...
Bu Hang watched carefully. As long as their foreheads touched the embroidered mat, they would kowtow twice. After kowtowing three times, they would be sent to the bridal chamber, and their flattery would be considered finished. Xiao Jihuai met, Xu Muxue
Not even close...
"Wait!" Everyone was holding their breath and looking at the newlyweds who were worshiping each other. The shout outside the hall was not loud. It was hoarse and almost old, but it still reached one person's ears clearly. Xu Muxue was covered with red silk
His head stopped motionless half an inch away from the embroidery mat...
"Who is causing trouble? Go ahead, let's ignore him." Bu Hang, like everyone else, looked outside the hall, but there were too many people at the door, and he couldn't see clearly who was shouting at the top of his voice.
People outside the hall also turned around, and then smelled a sour "clay sculpture"; saw Xiao Jie flying past from the fourth entrance; heard the sound of many people stepping on the roof in the front yard...
Just now, He Qizhou walked to the end of the alley about five feet away from the gate, lightly jumped on the top of the wall, as if he was about to climb over the wall and leave. The guards in Jinyi were shocked and chased after them with their swords drawn. Xiao Jie snorted, this
Madman's skills are really good...
He Qizhou, who was standing on the low wall of more than ten feet, did not climb over the wall to the east. Instead, he accelerated suddenly, turned to the south, and flew towards the three-foot-high wall of the Hou Mansion, and soon climbed onto the roof of the first house after entering...
…
Those guards with higher martial arts skills followed He Qizhou up to the house and chased after him with swords. Those with weaker light skills had to hold on to the top of the wall before they could jump up to the high wall of the Marquis Mansion, and then jump onto the first floor from the roof of the low gatehouse next to him.
Entering the big roof...
Xiao Jie at the door secretly screamed that something was wrong. He jumped onto the roof from the outside to catch up. It was obviously much slower. In desperation, he turned back into the courtyard and looked up at the roof to see where the lunatic finally settled down...
He Qizhou's goal was to be the last to enter, because he had been to Prince Cheng's Mansion and the Marquis' Mansion in Handan, and knew that the largest room must be there, so he rushed to the innermost room without thinking. He jumped from the big roof to the lower one.
On the roof of the east chamber, he rushed up to the roof of the second chamber, continued the wing and transitioned to the third chamber... By the time he gently floated into the fifth chamber, the Jin Yiwei had long been left behind!
