As a well-known wealthy family in Taiping, the Shen family married a girl, and the husband was a Zhao family from a well-known family in Jurong. Naturally, everyone envied this marriage, and even chose to forget that the eldest daughter of the Shen family had been engaged to another person earlier.
Starting early in the morning, the influx of congratulators almost crossed the threshold of Shen's house. Even the hawkers who were doing small business in the back alleys crowded to the front door to grab the big dustpan.
Many people are still excited about the money coming out. Until now.
Therefore, when Xu Xun jumped out of the car at the back door, he could still hear people talking about the Shen family's generosity and the Zhao family's noble name. Some people even talked loudly about the scene of welcoming the bride at the front door. Although for that person
Miss Shen, whom he had never met before, didn't think much of her, but he was still shocked when he heard that the wedding sedan had been sent.
He clearly found out that the Zhao family got married at dusk, so the Shen family sent out the wedding sedan at 2:00 noon, and now it suddenly happened before noon. This really caught him off guard. At the moment, both the Imperial College and Yingtianfu Yamen had already arrived
If the quarrel breaks out, if the Shen family really marries their daughter, there will be no room for recovery. Then Ruyi will have to cry to death for the eldest daughter of her family. Thinking of this, he didn't care about anything else, and just grabbed someone who was skipping rope.
Children, a handful of copper coins were stuffed into it.
"Can you help me call Miss Ruyi next to Miss Shen? I have something important to ask her!"
"Sister Ruyi?"
Seeing the kid skipping rope raising his head and looking at him for a long time, Xu Xun couldn't help but have a bad premonition: "Did she also go with Miss Shen's dowry?"
"No, no, the eldest lady is getting married." Sister Ruyi cried like tears. She probably hasn't recovered yet!" The child looked at his right fist holding several copper coins, and the next moment he nodded towards Xu Xun.
"I'll go look for it, and I'll definitely ask her to come out to see you," he said. "You wait here!" Seeing the child jumping in, Xu Xun stood at the back door and walked back and forth, feeling increasingly worried.
He was anxious. After waiting for a long time, he heard a burst of shouting coming from inside. When he turned around, he saw a girl with a haircut and double hairpins and slightly swollen eyes walking out following the child.
Although the girl was pretty and lovely, he only took one look at her and his expression changed drastically. He rushed into the back door without waiting for anyone to come over.
"You...are you Ruyi?"
Ruyi did not expect that the person outside the door suddenly rushed in, and was startled. However, that time Xu Xun went to the Shen family to submit a letter, and she happened to see him in the concierge, and she quickly recognized the person.
Come. She grabbed Xu Xun's hand and begged in a tearful voice: "Master Seven, my little one is
Sister...my young lady has already boarded the wedding sedan and left..."
Xu Xun's first reaction was that the little girl was eager to be the savior, so he did something stupid like getting married on behalf of the savior. When he was called Shen Ruyi, he just felt a loud bang in his head, and all the joints that he had not paid attention to before suddenly became clear.
Through it. He didn't bother to ask any more questions, turned around and rushed towards his carriage. Just as he was about to get in, he felt someone grabbed the hem of his clothes tightly.
"Take me with you, I know which way the wedding sedan takes!"
Hearing this, Xu Xun, who had already gotten into the car, extended his hand to Ruyi without hesitation, and then said to Xu Liang, who was confused: "Uncle," hurry up and listen to her! Just leave as she says!"
"After exiting this alley, walk along Taiping Lane, then turn to the east archway of Yaoyuan Street and follow the Qinhuai River to the southwest. This is the path that the wedding sedan took after the fight between the young lady and the old man!"
"good!"
Xu Liang was not hesitant at all, he agreed and immediately waved his riding whip, causing the carriage to start moving immediately. Only then did Xu Xun wake up and close the door. Rui Sheng, who had been waiting in the car, saw that Ruyi's eyes were swollen like peaches.
At this moment, my eyes were filled with tears again. I couldn't help but took out a handkerchief from my arms and handed it over.
"Sister, please wipe your tears first."
Seeing Ruyi taking the handkerchief, he fell on his knees and burst into tears." Xu Xun felt even more anxious and annoyed. He only hated himself for focusing only on those big things, and just took it for granted that her sex was so comfortable and comfortable, which was absolutely not the case.
These days, we all have the situation that a lady should have, and we just take it for granted that she is so concerned about Miss Shen's marriage and has gone beyond the responsibilities of master and servant. In addition, her natural feet and habit of running away have not changed at all.
I was thinking about whether the little girl was hiding something in her words, but she never thought of asking anyone to inquire about her situation at the Shen family!
Ruyi didn't dare to speak out in the Shen family before, "she could only cry secretly." Now she cried happily. Suddenly she heard a thumping sound. She raised her red and swollen eyes and looked, "She found that it was Xu Xun who took the
He punched the sturdy carriage with his fists, and couldn't help but rub his eyes with a handkerchief. Then he said sadly: "Originally, the wedding sedan was not delivered at this time, but it happened that the second young master Zhao was drunk when he came to welcome the bride.
After drinking wine, he threw it in the main hall and insisted on welcoming her at this time. The master was so angry that he fell down, but he said it in a very ugly way, and said that the young lady was not worthy of her. After all, the master could not defeat him, and he was afraid that in the end he would
He was embarrassed in front of the guests, so he had to let him go. Even saying goodbye to the elders was hasty..."
"Talk about death, damn it!"
Only then did Xu Xun realize that the good arrangement had gone awry, and he was even more furious for a moment. He punched the seat under him again, and then he raised his head and asked, "How long has the wedding sedan been gone? Do we have enough time to catch up?"
"
"We walked for about two-quarters of an hour. We were walking slowly all the way. There were many people on that road, so we couldn't go very far. I will definitely catch up after a while." At this point, Ruyi suddenly regained his composure.
She became panicked, "Miss got on the sedan without eating anything. I don't know what's going on right now..."
"Why didn't she tell me earlier!" Seeing the anger on Xu Xun's face, Ruyi was wrong. He immediately became angry and spoke back: "Seventh Young Master, you speak lightly." What did the lady say to you?
Although the Shen family is not a first-class famous family, it still has rules. If it weren’t for Mr. Xu Er’s life-saving grace for his wife, Sister Bu had respected Mr. Xu Er the most since she was a child. How could she have done this again and again?
Sneaking out to see you to remind you? I want you to know that she is the Miss Shen family. How can you know that you will not despise her and think that she acts casually? The master wants to break off the engagement, but she reminds you again and again. Isn't she the same?
Are you afraid that you will be unhappy if you know her identity?"
Looking at the sharp-tongued Ruyi in front of him, Xu Xun finally understood that the saying "like a master must be like a servant" was absolutely true. He turned his head and stretched out his hand to lift the curtain to look out, and suddenly said without looking back: "
Whether she is a girl or Miss Shen, it is the same to me. If I had known that she was Miss Shen, I would not have left an extra escape route..."
Hearing this, Ruyi couldn't help but wiped away her tears and said, "It's too late to talk about this now!
What should I do if I catch up? I have almost done all the six etiquettes, and the young lady is almost already a member of the Zhao family..."
"As for the Zhao family, as long as the marriage certificate between my father and the Shen family is still there, I will still be her fiancé!"
Xu Xun said such a sentence almost without thinking. At this time, Rui Sheng's crisp voice came from the side: "The young master is right, everything has a first come first served basis!"
In the past few days, Ruisheng has been following around. He is no longer as shy and timid as before when he speaks and does things. At this moment, he said these words more boldly than ever before. However, Xu Xun looked at the timid little guy who retracted his head after saying these words.
, suddenly gave him a thumbs up and shook it, then took a deep breath, stuck his head out and said to Xu Liang outside: "Uncle, I am afraid that I will be ridiculous today, can you
Help me?"
"What a ridiculous thing, isn't it just robbing a bride?" Xu Liang drove the car without missing a single word in the car. He burst out laughing, "Old man, I have never been so bold in my half-life of being ridiculous. I will risk it today."
I'm going to make such a fuss with you! After all, the Zhao family is already in disgrace, so this time we'll take care of those little bastards. "Haha..."
"However," Xu Liang's voice suddenly stopped with a smile, and the carriage suddenly stopped. Before Xu Xun could ask what was going on, he suddenly saw the tall Wende Bridge standing on it.
There was a bright red figure. At that moment, even across the long distance, he still recognized the person intuitively.
……………………
The road that the Shen family's sedan was traveling on is close to the Qinhuai River and is one of the busiest and busiest roads in Nanjing. Therefore, "everyone has to make way for pedestrians and vendors to make way". The weather is hot.
"Second Young Master Zhao, who was riding a tall horse to welcome the bride, was sweating all over." Coupled with the drunkenness, he started cursing on the horse and almost made a fuss about getting off the horse and taking a sedan chair, but was finally persuaded. So.
"This noisy group naturally walked slower and slower.
However, no one expected that when the group of people had just entered the East Archway from Gongyuan Street and saw the Wende Bridge in front of them, the bride covered with a red wedding scarf in the wedding sedan would suddenly rush out. They were caught off guard and added
She was so agile that she pulled the bearer and several strong men to the side. Dozens of people watched helplessly as she ran onto the Wende Bridge holding up the red pleated skirt she wore.
That high bridge.
Whenever there is a wedding event, a wedding sedan is sent out. There are always countless people watching the excitement along the road, not to mention that this time we are walking along the most lively road along the Qinhuai River. Therefore, I saw a bride suddenly running out of the sedan.
, stomped up to the Wende Bridge, and then knocked two or three big men who had reacted and rushed up from the bridge head into the water. For a moment, the crowd of onlookers was shocked, and no one knew who was shouting.
"A group of people actually blocked both sides of the Wende Bridge on three levels inside and three outside." They forced all the principals outside, and all of them looked up at the bride.
Shen Yue, who was on the bridge, gently opened her handkerchief and took a look. She saw that there were at least hundreds of people around, and more and more people came from everywhere to watch the excitement. She took a deep breath and replenished her energy.
Then he started shouting loudly.
"The daughter of the common people, Mrs. Shen, has already made a marriage contract, but what can she do?"
