Back at the mansion, Zhong Zong reported that Princess Jinglan sent someone to ask the military advisor when he would have time to get acquainted with Yun'er again.
He Ran was a little hesitant. He liked Yun'er very much, but he was afraid of offending Princess Jinglan. He turned to Yun Ye and asked: "Do you think it is necessary to let Yun'er protect you?"
Yun Ye looked at Zhong Zong and thought for a moment: "It's better to be cautious. This thing moves too fast. If that Zhu'er does something bad again, it will be really troublesome."
Zhong Min agreed: "I think so. It's okay in places with a lot of people, but there are a lot of deserted areas in this city, and this thing is very good at hiding, so it's hard to guard against it." The two of them shoulder the responsibility of guarding, so naturally they are.
How have you considered safety?
He Ran thought for a while and said to Zhong Xin: "Okay then, you go to the princess's house to thank me on my behalf, and tell me that I will come to invite the princess in person tomorrow."
After Zhong Zong left, He Ran said to Yun Ye: "You will stay away from me tomorrow, do you understand?"
Yun Zhiye nodded understandingly.
Early the next morning, He Ran paid a solemn visit to Princess Jinglan. Princess Jinglan's two brothers invited him into the mansion. The two brothers were very respectful to He Ran and were extremely warm and friendly. They chatted for a long time.
Princess Lan was unhappy and started to look at her two brothers with her eyes, and then they stopped talking.
After leaving the city, Jinglan seemed very happy. Although she still remained reserved, her smile was much brighter than usual. However, it didn't take long before she noticed something was not right. He Ran seemed to be more polite than before and answered.
It also became concise, and she also found that Yun Ye was always following them.
Women are inherently sensitive, and women with introverted temperaments are even more sensitive. The smile on Princess Jinglan's face gradually disappeared. It seemed that He Ran understood her own thoughts. What he did was a clear rejection. The princess felt that
She was ashamed and resentful. She didn't want to stay any longer. She forced out a smile and said, "I suddenly feel a little unwell. The military advisor should play with Yun'er first. I want to go back and have a rest. Jinglan apologizes."
Then he ordered the two maids to stay and watch over Yun'er.
Seeing her like this, He Ran felt a little sorry and said with a smile: "Then let's play some other time. I'll take the princess back."
Princess Jinglan smiled lightly and said: "No need, it's rare that the military advisor is free today, so let's play with Yun'er for a while." After saying that, she rode away.
Looking at the princess's retreating back, He Ran felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. He didn't want to hurt this kind and beautiful princess, but he had to do this. He felt sad for a while, and then cheered up to tease Yun'er.
When I returned to the city at noon, I wanted to have lunch with Xiao Xiao. After asking, I found out that Xiao Xiao had gone to find her adopted sister. He Ran smiled and shook his head. Xiao Xiao was used to being independent and rarely revealed his true feelings to others. He
It is clear that Xiao Xiao is not heartless, on the contrary, once her emotions burst out, they are more intense than anyone else. The layer of window paper between the two of them has been pierced. Xiao Xiao is now in the stage of emotional explosion. It is unnecessary
His emotions have blessed this little stepsister.
At dawn the next day, Xiao Xiao came over to remind me.
He Ran hurriedly washed up and had just taken two bites of breakfast when Xiao Xiao urged anxiously: "Why are you eating so slowly? It's going to be late!"
"It's just like you are the one getting married. I see how anxious you are. No one pressed me like this on my wedding day." He Ran muttered dissatisfiedly and stretched out his chopsticks to pick up vegetables.
Xiao Xiao got angry when he saw how slow he was. He simply took off the chopsticks and yelled: "Stop eating! Leave quickly!"
He Ran was helpless, seeing that she had put on her veil, and he also put on the big leather hat.
The people in the city maintain traditional customs. Even though they live in the city, weddings are still held on the grassland. Less than three miles outside the east city, you can see many poles as high as one person planted on a flat grassland.
Some of the poles were tied with colorful ribbons, some were tied with animal tails, and there was a two-foot-tall pole with the tribal flag hanging on it. Most of the guests and friends had already arrived, and the noise could be heard from a distance, but the tents and curtains were still there.
During construction, this made the site even busier.
Xiao Xiao snorted and said: "You see, Haza wanted so much dowry just to make things difficult for Qiong Sang. He thought it was impossible for Sang Qiong to collect the dowry, so he didn't prepare for the wedding at all. I received it yesterday
We started hurriedly preparing for the dowry, but we haven't finished it yet." After that, he added, "Hazza is that bastard."
He Ran knew that this Haza must be the man he saw in the market, so he persuaded with a smile: "You have to restrain your temper, today is your sworn sister's big day, you are going to beat her father-in-law all over the floor in anger.
Get out of here, this marriage will be ruined."
Xiao Xiao rolled her eyes at him and said, "Am I that reckless?"
"I don't know, if you get angry, you might end up bloodbathing the wedding venue." He Ran looked worried.
Xiao Xiao chuckled and saw Sangqiong Biye running out of the camp to greet him in a full dress. She hurriedly rode up to meet him, which would have revealed her identity. She was not riding Yanzhihong, and He Ran was not riding Tafeng.
Sang Qiong couldn't kiss Xiao Xiao any more. Her face turned red with excitement and she kept talking to Xiao Xiao. The miserable female interpreter could hardly keep up with her speech speed.
The concierge seats were arranged in front of a large tent. To the east were the male guests. There were no fewer than thirty or forty people at this time, and people came from time to time. To the west, there were only six or seven female guests.
Sang Qiong led them to the table. Xiao Xiao frowned and said, "Why are there only so many people?"
Sang Qiong said sadly: "It's not my fault that my relatives and friends didn't come, they were all afraid of my borrowing money."
"Just return the money to them. Why are you so deserted here?" Xiao Xiao was very unhappy.
Sang Qiong said in a panic: "Sister, don't be angry. Time is too short. I have paid back all the money I owe to my relatives and friends who live nearby, but it is too late for those who live further away."
"Then there shouldn't be so few, right? Do they all know the wedding date?"
Sang Qiong sighed and said: "We all know that this date has been set a long time ago. Sister, don't blame them. They are all good people. They have helped my family a lot since my father's disaster. It's just that there are not many rich relatives and friends."
Husband, I am afraid that I will ask to borrow money again on this big day, but I can understand their difficulties."
Xiao Xiao regretfully said to He Ran: "I wish I had known that we would have brought more people here."
He Ran glanced at the guests and said nonchalantly: "It's human nature, there's nothing to be angry about." He turned to Xiaoling and others and whispered: "No need to be formal today, you all can take a seat."
Xiao Ling brought four people with him. In addition to Yun Ye and Zhong Zong, he also had two personal guards. After hearing the order, these people sat down in groups next to them.
At this time, Haza led several relatives over. His expression was not enthusiastic, and he was even a little bored. He had already found out that Sangqiong’s dowry was paid for by this sworn sister. He did not know that Sangqiong was a wealthy person.
Where did the sworn sister from Zhongyuan come from? I feel very angry towards her. It can be said that she caused myself to end up in this poor family.
After a few pleasantries, Haza asked Xiao Xiao to take a step to speak. After avoiding everyone, he asked straight to the point: "Are you here to do business?"
The smile disappeared from Xiao Xiao's face and he said: "We are just here to have fun."
Hearing that they were just here for fun, Haza's face turned even uglier. If they were doing business, then Sangqiong and her could continue to interact with each other in the future, and this rich step sister might continue to provide help. If it was just for fun, then
But it was just a one-time deal, and there was no hope for the future. He patiently forced out a smile and said, "Did you know that the Sangqiong family owes a lot of debt?"
Sangqiong had just been picked up, and before she had time to say anything to her husband, Haza naturally didn't know that Xiao Xiao had given Sangqiong so much money.
Xiao Xiao was disgusted from the bottom of her heart with this man who smelled like copper. She felt disgusted by the sight of him. She was not good at concealing herself. She was afraid that if she continued talking, she would be beaten to the ground like He Ran said, so she said coldly:
"You don't have to worry about this, Sangqiong will pay it off."
When Haza heard the hope, he smiled more and asked: "You mean you will help her pay off these debts, right?" Seeing the impatient look on the female interpreter's face, he smiled and said: "Excuse me, you must do it."
Thank you very much for making it clearer."
After Xiao Xiao heard this, he glanced at him with disdain and said, "I'll return it!" After saying that, he didn't want to look at him anymore and walked quickly towards He Ran.
After confirming that she would repay Sangqiong's debt, Haza breathed a long sigh of relief, and then secretly glanced at Xiao Xiao. Although the debt problem was solved, how could he be satisfied with marrying such a poor in-law?
After Xiao Xiao came back, he saw that there were more guests from the man's side, and said anxiously to He Ran: "No, we only have so few people here. It's too unfair for my sister. Let Xiao Ling and Yun Ye go back and bring more people."
Bar."
"They are both from the Central Plains, so your sister may not have any brilliance on her face." He Ran said with a slight smile.
Xiao Xiao was very angry when he saw that he acted like it had nothing to do with him, "Humph! You just look down on her, and it's too late for you to be happy when she's embarrassed, right?"
He Ran hurriedly put away the smile on his face and said: "No, no, no, how dare I? No matter what, she is also your sister."
Xiao Xiao vented her anger on him and said harshly: "It's good that you know!"
Seeing the commotion among the guests, He Ran stood up one after another and looked into the distance. A smile appeared on his lips, he pointed with his finger and said: "There's someone here again, maybe to support your sister."
Xiao Xiao stood up and stood on tiptoes to look around, and saw that a small group of people had arrived at the camp. She recognized them at a glance as the two ceremonial officers who usually accompanied her and He Ran. She and He Ran had a respected status, so these two people were naturally
The highest-ranking official among the ceremony officials was almost a fourth-grade official according to the official system of the State of Yi.
Xiao Xiao originally didn't want to make it public, but now that her adopted sister was embarrassed because not many relatives and friends came, she didn't care too much. She was so happy when she saw He Ran looking at her with a smile, and her heart immediately brightened, and she asked with a smile:
"Did you arrange it?"
He Ran asked her to sit down with gestures and said: "When I saw Zaha that day, I was worried about Sang Qiong. With such a father-in-law, she would not have a good life even if she married. I had no intention of taking care of this kind of thing, but you
Now that I recognized her as my sister-in-law, I had to think more about her. A snob like Haza is as cruel as a wolf to those who are inferior to him, but in front of dignitaries, he is worse than a dog.
Look." He said and pointed forward.
