Cui Zhiwen followed the big man into a small stone door, turned left and right, and saw the owner. He then secretly looked around and saw that the courtyard was quite thoughtful and well-organized, with some faint Xuanmen formations.
The Feng Shui doorway is hidden in it, but he just can't see the deeper things clearly! He just feels that there are many layers here, which makes people feel comfortable when they see it!
Feeling this, Cui Zhiwen's worried mind calmed down, but he was secretly surprised: in terms of political culture, although he is good, he is far behind his peers. In the end, he is just a branch of the Cui family and does not get much support.
, but when it comes to knowledge, Cui Zhiwen is no worse than others. Even with the Cui family's background, he may not be able to arrange the layout and aura in front of him!
After walking for some time, my eyes suddenly opened up, and I saw a flat lake with lotus color. Lovely green round leaves, pink or white lotus flowers were revealed among them! Suddenly a person came from a distance and walked to the water's edge.
Don't stop, just take a step, and it will be as light as walking
He walked straight towards the pavilion in the middle of the lake like a "Lingbo wave"! Seeing the Cui family's parents' eyes widened, they were extremely horrified! Only when they got closer could they clearly see the place under the lotus leaf, close to the water.
, there was a narrow wooden bridge hidden among them, and then I suddenly realized it!
.
When the Cui family's parents walked to the pontoon bridge, the big man leading the two people had stopped and made a gesture of greeting. Seeing this, the Cui family's parents continued to walk forward. After crossing the small bridge, they saw the water clearly coming out.
The pavilion looks like a flying crane with flying teeth, and it is small and exquisite! It looks like a flying crane flying in the Bihe Lake, which makes people happy to see it!
They looked into the pavilion again, and saw a young man standing in the pavilion with a smile, looking at the couple with a relaxed attitude.
Cui Zhiwen looked at the young man nearby and felt that he looked familiar. After looking at it carefully, he hesitated and said: "Is the man in the pavilion the eldest son of the Li family in Tanzhou back then?"
"Please remember, Mr. Cui, it's my honor!" Li Xingzhi said with a smile. After saying that, he invited the two of them to come forward and sit down.
There is a small table in the pavilion with some drinks on it. The other important thing is the crystal clear fruits that no one else has seen. Each one is exquisite and cute!
"I don't dare to take what you said as an 'adult'!" Cui Zhiwen said with a frown. He was always serious, but at this time he was 'taking care of things as they come', so he sat down as well, wanting to take a look at the eldest son of the Li family.
What kind of calculation is this?
In the Tang Dynasty, the word "adult" was used to address parents or elders with whom they were very close, so Cui Zhiwen frowned and said he didn't dare to take it seriously.
"You deserve it, you deserve it! After today, you will be your in-laws! How can you not deserve it?!" Li Xingzhi said with a smile, "Not to mention other things, the two of you are guests from afar, how about trying this fruit?" Li Xingzhi was also reluctant.
Talk to the two of you again
Wu Zi took two large peaches with the hair off and placed them in front of the two of them. He also pinched two wheat straws from the nearby plate and inserted them into the flesh of the peaches. Then he took another large peach and inserted some wheat straw into it.
Suck it and start sucking it slowly.
Watching the crystal clear, pink and lovely peach slowly wither away! At the same time, a fragrant peach fragrance slowly spreads out!
The two elders of the Cui family worked hard all day, and snored for a while in the carriage. Their mouths were already dry, and when they saw the fruits on the table, they felt even more hungry. The body fluids overflowed from their lips and teeth, and their mouths were like a huge lake.
The fluid flowed down his throat! At this time, he smelled the fruity aroma again and saw that Li Xingzhi was eating sweetly. He could no longer care about anything else. He carefully picked up the peach on the table and started sucking it.
Just like this, the slightly stagnant atmosphere melted like ice and snow. The so-called "people-eating soft-mouthed", how could the two Cui family members say anything accusatory at this time? Of course, if they knew that their daughter
He was robbed. I'm afraid he has another thought!
Li Xingzhi watched the two of them taste the fruit, their hunger and thirst were temporarily quenched, and he said: "I invite these two elders here to discuss the marriage of my sworn brother and my daughter!"
When Cui Zhiwen heard this, his eyes widened. Just as he was about to explain that his daughter was already married to the Zheng family, and that the marriage was going to be consummated today, his mind suddenly changed and he thought: Since the eldest son of the Li family has found out about me,
He who kidnapped me on the way must have already known about my Cui Zheng family's marriage. I don't know what he meant when he said this. Regardless of what he meant, it was just that 'the soldiers came to cover up the water and the earth'!
Thinking in his mind, he said: "I only have one daughter from the Cui family. She is already engaged to the Zheng family. The marriage will be consummated today. Isn't it clear that Li Dalang tricked me into coming here in a hurry? If you are interested, come with me to have a glass of water.
Let’s drink!”
"Everyone knows that 'a daughter from one family should seek help from all families'. Moreover, your daughter has already sent a letter to my sworn brother Hongyan, and they have made a private agreement for life. Could it be that the Cui family wants to beat the couple with a stick?"
The atmosphere in the Tang Dynasty was still open. Although "the parents ordered and the matchmaker said", in many cases, the opinions of the children were still respected and the two people were happy. Even in the law, there were clear provisions. However, among those high-ranking families
In an aristocratic family with a conservative ethos, who cares about the opinions of their children?
"'Parents' orders, matchmaker's words', with a gift, the wedding will be consummated today! There is no need to say more about this matter!" Cui Zhiwen said with a straight face and refused. There was a majesty in that look.
Cui Zhiwen did not want to have any more entanglements with Li Xingzhi on this matter. As for the talk of "two lovers being happy" or "beating mandarin ducks", let alone empty talk, even if it was true, he would not take it seriously.
"As we discuss today, don't we have 'parents' orders and matchmaker's words'? As for the bride price, it's the same with getting married first and then making up for it. As for the father-in-law's talk about getting married to the Zheng family, hehe, I'm afraid they won't be able to wait for the bride.
Son!" Li Xingzhi said, he didn't care where he was in a daze, his mind
The Cui family's parents, who had not yet turned around and were still thinking about the meaning of Li Xing's words, continued: "Today we invite the two elders here, one is to discuss marriage matters; the other is to invite the two of them to make a speech.
Witness! How could your parents and relatives not be present when your daughter got married?"
It took the Cui family's parents a long time to digest the meaning of Li Xingzhi's words. No matter what they thought, they never expected that Li Xingzhi would be so bold!
The matter has come to this, there is still room for salvation! Thinking like this, Cui Zhiwen stood up, questioned Li Xingzhi, and even wanted to persuade him to change his mind. But it was not for Li Xingzhi's sake, but because he hoped that the marriage with the Zheng family would be successful. As for other things,
, it’s not the time to pay attention yet.
At this moment, the two elders of the Cui family felt a strong wind blowing towards them. Their chests suddenly went numb and they could no longer move their whole bodies!
"What kind of magic are you doing?!" Cui Zhiwen shouted in horror!
"It's not a magic method, it's just an ordinary acupuncture technique. This method is in the same vein as the golden needle acupoint technique in medicine." Li Xingzhi explained.
"What do you mean? Aren't you afraid that the Cui and Zheng families will work together to kill you?! Then the family will be destroyed and everyone will be dead!" Cui Zhiwen said with a pale face.
"There is no need to worry, sir. I have my own way to deal with it. Now, let me aggrieve you two adults." Li Xingzhi was talking, and suddenly thought of something again, and continued: "If you two adults have anything to say, tell me now."
Well, I’m afraid I won’t be able to say it out by then.”
Cui Zheng was silent, and Cui Zhiwen's neck turned blue and he didn't speak. Suddenly, both of them felt numbness in their necks. They were startled and tried to move their mouths. They were speechless!
At this time, the vestibule was already buzzing with gongs and drums. Everyone was waiting eagerly to see eight people carrying a gorgeous sedan, surrounded by dozens of people, arriving in front of the Li Mansion!
As the groom, Erlang wore a crimson dress, which made his face glowing red and beaming with joy! Erlang's maid Xiaolan, as the bridesmaid, helped the bride out, and Erlang nervously carried the bride off the sedan.
The little lady of the Cui family wearing a tiara, but she didn't know that the person underneath her had turned into the young man whom she missed so much.
Only then did everyone around know that the adopted brother of the Li family Dalang was actually married to a girl from the Cui family, one of the three surnames and five families! Everyone began to inquire about what kind of person this adopted brother of the Li family was, so that the Cui family was willing to use his daughter as a maid.
Get married! What you need to know
Dao. The women from these aristocratic families have always been noble, not to mention ordinary people, even the most noble ministers, they still want a girl. Everyone looked hard at Wang Erlang, wanting to see if he had three heads and six arms!
This look is incredible!
I saw that the groom was full of heroic spirit, rich in poems and calligraphy, his back was as straight as a bamboo pole; his face was like the bright moon, his eyes were like painted paint, his sword-shaped eyebrows were pierced at the temples, his lips were red and his teeth were white, he was such an extraordinary and handsome young man!
When everyone saw this appearance, they didn't dare to say anything more and sighed: Pan An and Song Yu in ancient times were nothing like this! Several old women next to them looked at that handsome face, and their eyes gleamed.
You have to go up and pinch them a few times! As for the pregnant girls, they only glanced at them, then their faces turned red and they turned away, only peeking out of the corner of their eyes.
Wang Erlang carried the young lady of the Cui family into the hall, and when she got off the ground, a red scarf was connected between the two of them, while the bridesmaid supported the bride as she walked forward.
At this time, there were three people sitting high in the hall. To the left of the big case, sat a handsome young man, who was Li Xingzhi.
The two parents were sitting high in the hall, expressionless and motionless. No one could have imagined that they were acting like this because their acupuncture points were tapped.
Although Wang Erlang didn't know what method Li Xingzhi used to get the Cui family's parents to 'cancel' the Zheng family's marriage and marry their daughter to him, this did not prevent him from going to the wedding hall to get married to the Cui family's young lady.
The two of them worshiped heaven and earth, and it was time to serve tea to their elders.
Li Xingzhi looked at the tea offered by the two people, smiled and drank the two cups of fragrant tea in one gulp! The two people brought the tea again and presented it to the Cui family's parents. No one could feel it. A strong wind came from the side and hit the center.
There were several acupuncture points on the arms of the two elders of the Cui family. They stretched out their arms slightly stiffly. They held the two tea bowls firmly in their hands and put them into their mouths. They only touched their lips and put them down again...
The Li family is beaming with joy, but the Zheng family is in a mess!
It turned out that just when everyone from the Cui and Zheng families came back to their senses, they found that the bride was missing! There was no one in charge at this time, so they suddenly panicked! In the end, a few people stayed behind to pack up the carriages and horses, and the rest
Several people ran to Zheng's house together.
The hall of the Zheng family was full at this time, with people playing and playing, and it was extremely lively! Suddenly, several women who looked a little embarrassed rushed out from the side, and they were big men. The steward who went out to greet the Zheng family just said they were here to cause trouble, and was about to call someone to arrest him.
These people drove them out, but when they took a closer look, they turned out to be the Cui family's aunt and the Zheng family who were out to meet the bride! He suddenly panicked and asked hurriedly: "What's going on?"
"Something big has happened!" A woman ignored the steward who was still panicking and guessed, and ran into the house from the side door in a panic, preparing to explain the situation to the elders of the Zheng family and find a way to deal with the matter.
.
The steward finally caught a boy at the end and asked hurriedly: "What happened?"
"Oh, something bad has happened! The Cui family's young lady has been robbed!!" The boy shouted in panic.
"What?!" The steward's eyes widened and he couldn't believe it. When he came to his senses, he hurriedly muttered to himself: "What can we do now? What can we do now!" After saying that, he turned around and walked into the house.
Let's go, prepare to go to the person in charge of the Zheng family to see what's going on, and if anything happens, we can fix it.
When the steward walked into the meeting hall, he heard an old man in the middle who was very well groomed, but at this moment, a half-hundred-year-old man with a trembling beard and a black complexion asked: "Where are those two from the Cui family? Why haven't they come yet?
!”
A person next to him stepped forward and replied: "The villain has already asked the Cui family. He said that the Cui family's parents had already arrived by car and took a small road!"
When the old man heard this, his face, which was originally blue and black, turned even darker. When everyone around him heard this, they also felt that it was scary!
The old man calmed down and then said: "Send people to look for the Cui family in the direction they came from! As for the Cui family's young lady, she is not in a hurry at this moment!"
After hearing this, everyone felt that this was the truth. As long as they found the Cui family's parents, no one would recognize the Cui family's young lady wearing a crown. They could just find any girl. After the important things were done, it would not be too late to find her again.
!
In order to save face, they only dared to secretly intensify their investigation. The Cui and Zheng families did not find the Cui family's parents and the Cui family's young lady! But at this time, the auspicious time has arrived!
Neither the Cui nor Zheng families could afford to lose face. So, the two families worked together to find a suitable daughter among the Cui family, and the elders of the two families acted as the elders to proceed with the marriage.
The guests who came to congratulate the Zheng family saw that the elders of the Cui and Zheng families came out to preside over the wedding. At first they thought it was because the two families attached great importance to this marriage, but after thinking about it for a while, they felt that something was wrong. Then they looked at the faces of the Cui and Zheng families.
With a rather forced smile, I felt that there was something inside. If you were better informed, after asking around a bit, the true story of the matter came out.
Where are the secrets in Chang'an City! Once a third person knows something, everyone in Chang'an City will soon know it. At this time, the Zheng family's affairs have not yet spread throughout Chang'an City. But it has already spread throughout Chang'an City.
In the ears of all the guests of the Zheng family.
As a result, the originally joyful wedding ended hastily under the livid face of the host, and among the guests who seemed to be sympathetic, pitiful, and full of jokes!
At this time, the Li family's wedding banquet was also coming to an end. The guests gradually left, and the groom and bride had already entered the bridal chamber.
The bridal chamber in the Tang Dynasty was a bit strange. It was a small tent set up in a lucky spot in the southwest corner of a certain courtyard. This tent was called Qinglu. A hundred tents hung above the Qinglu.
The Li family's wedding did not have a lot of complicated etiquette, and because there were no other juniors in the family, there was no talk of having a wedding ceremony. The bridesmaid just opened the Baizi tent outside the Qinglu, led the bride into the Qinglu, and then gave it to the two of them.
each
Pour a glass of wine. After the two drank the wine, Xiaolan, as the bridesmaid, combed their hair again and combed their hair together. This is called "tying their hair." The groom and the bride had their hair tied.
Xiaolan closed the tent and stood guard outside.
At this time, there were only two people left in Qinglu. Their breathing could be vaguely heard.
With slightly trembling hands, Wang Erlang nervously took off the bride's crown. The bride lowered her head, her eyes were slightly closed, her eyelids were lowered, and her face was expressionless.
"Ru'er!" Wang Erlang couldn't help but call out as he looked at the lovely child in front of him.
Cui Ru'er heard the strange yet familiar call, and suddenly raised her head in surprise. She looked at the face in front of her that she thought about day and night, and tears flowed down the corners of her eyes! Her mouth moved.
I moved, wanting to say something, but I was afraid that everything in front of me was just a fantasy, so I didn't call out after all. I just stretched out my hand and stroked Wang Erlang's face, and finally called out "Erlang~".
Calling out this sound makes people feel heartbroken!
She turned pale again and said in surprise: "Why are you here? Leave quickly!" Cui Ru'er didn't know that Wang Erlang was the groom at this time. In her imagination, this should be the Zheng family, not something else.
Li family. She could not imagine that anyone could be so bold as to rob the bride of the Zheng family!
"Why go?! This is our new house!" Wang Erlang touched Cui Ruer's forehead and said with a smile.
Cui Ru'er looked at Wang Erlang's eyes in disbelief, and saw that he had no intention of evading. He looked around and at the hair of the two of them. She felt surprised, happy, and a little uneasy.
It all happened so fast and so unreal!
She moved her mouth, wanting to ask something, but not knowing what to say. After she calmed down a little, she looked at Wang Erlang with a worried look.
"Today you are my bride, and tomorrow you will be my wife! No one can take you away from me! Don't worry about the Zheng family's affairs, there is also my eldest brother!" Although Wang Erlang was also a little worried about the Zheng family.
counterattack, but thinking of Li Xingzhi's methods, the worries in his heart calmed down.
Cui Ru'er doesn't know how powerful Li Xingzhi is. But she understands how powerful the Zheng and Cui families are! In her eyes, no matter how powerful a person is, can he go against the whole world? Although the Zheng and Cui families can't
They represent the whole world, but by mobilizing their influence, half of the world can be shaken! However, fortunately, this matter has spread too widely and cannot be brought to the surface, so the two families can only take some actions privately.
.
Wang Erlang looked at Cui Ru'er and was still worried, so he simply said: "Even if I die, I will be willing to die with you!"
When Cui Ruer heard this, a blush spread on her face like water. The corners of her mouth were slightly raised, and a smile appeared on her face. A little sadness was irrelevant at this moment! Perhaps, in her eyes, things were no longer possible.
To save it, it is better to cherish this moment! (To be continued.)
