As the saying goes, the three slowest things in life are waiting for a train, waiting for someone, and waiting for a church meeting... In other words, waiting for death is also very slow, but it only ruins the scenery, but it is not elegant.
These forms of waiting are always filled with an emotion of anxiety and expectation. They are mixed together in a complex manner, forming an indescribable feeling that swirls in the heart, making people unable to meditate at all and always having to stand up.
, while looking up and pacing back and forth in the room.
It's just that Lu Xiyue is now a newcomer and cannot move at all due to etiquette. She can only sit quietly on the bed, but her active heart has already flown out to the door to listen to the festive sound of the suona trumpet.
Such an eager desire will never be diminished by the distance. In fact, the Chen family is diagonally opposite, only twenty steps apart. However, this number of steps, for Lu Xiyue, who has been drifting for many years,
Twenty steps is already equal to a lifetime.
Marrying, becoming a member of the Chen family, and becoming Chen Jianchen's wife is a lifelong matter, and there will definitely be no trace of it.
Time moves at an unprecedentedly slow pace. "A day without seeing each other is like three autumns", "every day is like a year", etc. None of them can accurately describe Lu Xiyue's current mood. Her ten delicate fingers as green as white are intertwined.
Together, they performed many tricks, betraying their inner world at that time without missing a beat.
Finally, after what seemed like centuries, an exciting and sweet suona sound came in from outside.
The time has come, Chen Jianchen came to pick up the bride.
God was extra generous today. It had been raining for many days, but it finally cleared up. The sun rarely showed a bright smile.
Today, Chen Jianchen is dressed in a very traditional and formal style, wearing a very auspicious red, a large-sleeved shirt and a gauze crown. He is also riding a rented horse.
People are in high spirits during happy events, and they ride on horses. They also show their tall and straight figure, sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, and their heroic spirit is impressive.
The Chen family was having a happy event, and the neighbors had already known about it, so they came out in large numbers to watch the fun. The children, especially, were even more active, running around and laughing, waiting for the wedding candies.
Although the distance was short, various etiquettes were still required. After about half an hour, Lu Xiyue was successfully taken out of the house and onto the sedan chair.
At this time, Chen Jianchen was sweating faintly on his forehead. He really felt a little overwhelmed by those complicated etiquette issues.
After receiving the new arrival, we went back home again, and worked hard for another half an hour. When the dust settled, the banquet began. Fortunately, the house Chen Jianchen bought was big enough, and ten tables could be set up in the courtyard.
Get off all visitors.
At this time, Chen Jianchen naturally could not enter the bridal chamber and had to toast outside.
It was a rare opportunity. How could Wang Fu and others let him go? They all came up with wine glasses to congratulate him in a tacit understanding. The enthusiasm was hard to control, and it didn't take long for Chen Jianchen to drink more than a dozen glasses.
When Wang Fu saw it, he chuckled and thought to himself: The groom was so drunk that he might not be able to get married that night - he knew very well about Chen Jianchen's drinking capacity, and ten drinks was the limit.
However, what surprised him was that Chen Jianchen had drank more than ten drinks in a row. He was still energetic, chatting and laughing, and his eyes were not hazy at all.
How is this going?
Wang Fu almost suspected that what Chen Jianchen drank was water instead of wine. But it didn't make sense. He clearly poured the wine with his own hands. There was no way he could fake it...
He gritted his teeth and refused to believe in evil. He looked at Xi Fangping and Xiao Hanfeng and continued.
After several rounds of drinking, one after another, Chen Jianchen saw that he had drunk thirty glasses of wine, and he was still standing like a jade tree in the wind, with nothing wrong at all.
He is fine, but Wang Fu's three brothers are fine.
You must know that they also drank a lot, especially Wang Fu, who was in the lead. After more than 20 glasses of wine, his eyes had begun to count the stars. He stared at Chen Jianchen in confusion, his tongue was so big that he could not speak.
:When did Chen Jianchen, who could drink ten glasses of wine, become so drunk?
This is unscientific!
"Liuxian, you...you are really good..."
Wang Fu had to admit defeat and immediately got under the table to be with the dog.
Chen Jianchen snickered secretly: It's not that he drank like an ocean overnight, but Ying Ning helped a lot. Otherwise, the little fox knew that the young master would be drunk, so he cast a spell and arranged a small
Talisman array.
The main effect of this formation is that it is a blinding method. Although it is not very clever, it is enough to deceive Wang Fu and others. To put it simply, Chen Jianchen drank thirty glasses of wine, but none of it was actually drunk into his stomach.
It’s great to have a vixen at home!
At this time, a neighbor outside the door suddenly ran in with a somewhat panicked look, pulled Chen Jianchen and said: "Ms. Chen, it's bad, there is a group of evil people outside, Nuo, it was the one who went to trouble Miss Lu that day..."
Hearing this, Chen Jianchen's face darkened. He thanked his neighbor for reminding him and then walked out. Yingning on the other side saw this and knew that an accident had happened, so he quickly followed him.
As expected, Song Chong, wearing official robes and seven or eight men, appeared on the street very toughly, looking like he was coming with bad intentions.
Is this guy coming to cause trouble and interfere with your marriage?
Chen Jianchen frowned and immediately denied it.
Although Song Chong was an official, he could bully some kind people. If he really dared to cause trouble at home in public, he would not be able to live with it. After all, he was a scholar. In a room full of guests, there were many scholars, so he was a force that could not be ignored.
With his strength, he made a fuss and sued the government to the government, but Song Chong could not get any relief.
Then, the most likely possibility is that the other party wants to be treated like rat shit, which is purely disgusting.
court death!
"I heard that your family is holding a happy event?"
When Song Chong arrived, his voice was authentic and full of official accent. In fact, his role as co-manager was only temporary, about the size of sesame seeds and mung beans.
Chen Jianchen said coldly: "That's right, but I didn't ask you to wait."
Song Chong snorted: "Now that the river embankments are overflowing, the victims are like ants, and the people are in dire straits, you are still bragging about holding happy events in the city. What are your intentions?"
He didn't know where he got the teaching, and his words became extremely sharp.
How could Chen Jianchen be knocked down by his words: "The people are in dire straits. Since Mr. Song has received a salary from the court, he should try his best to solve the problems of the people. Why are you so idle and here to take care of weddings? You can't help but extend your hand."
It’s too long, be careful when crossing the line.”
Song Chong was furious: "I said I won't allow you to wait until marriage, but I won't allow you to make sophistry."
——With a slight pick, the true fighting power of this guy's tongue was immediately revealed.
Chen Jianchen laughed: "It's ridiculous. There are national laws above and general laws below. It's natural for a man to marry a woman. How can you allow a little helper like you to dictate? What authority do you have to prohibit others from marrying?"
"you!"
Song Chong's forehead veins were exposed and he almost ran away.
When they made a fuss outside the door, the Chen family heard the news, and there was an uproar. Many guests ran out. The news soon spread to Chen Jianchen's room, and Lu Xiyue, who was sitting there waiting quietly, was shocked: Why did he arrive?
This joint is still causing trouble. Could it be that it is in line with the old saying, "All good things come in a long way".
I was panicking and worried, but I couldn't run out like this.
"what happened?"
In the midst of the commotion, a deep and powerful shout sounded, and Xu Mengze and Gu Xichao, dressed in casual clothes, each with two attendants, separated from the crowd and walked in.
In the crowd, there were many people who knew the two high-ranking officials, and they immediately shouted respectfully. I was thinking: Are the two adults also here to attend Chen Jianchen's wedding banquet? If so, then Chen Jianchen's reputation is really great.
Gu Xuezheng asked: "Liu Xian, isn't today your happy day? How come you all ran out?"
Chen Jianchen said calmly: "I'd like to inform you, Sir, Mr. Song, the assistant manager, didn't know what he had eaten wrong. He suddenly came to the student's door. He was not allowed to hold a happy event."
"Um?"
Gu Xuezheng glanced at Song Chong, but said nothing. It was Prefect Xu who spoke: "Song Xieguan, what's going on?"
As soon as Magistrate Xu and Gu Xuezheng appeared, Song Chong knew that the matter could not go on any longer. He hurriedly clasped his fists and said: "Reporting to the Magistrate, I just drank too much wine, so I made a mistake and apologized!"
After saying a few words, he said goodbye and left. Before leaving, he gave Chen Jianchen a vicious look.
"Ridiculous."
Magistrate Xu waved his sleeves and approved.
He and Gu Xichao really came to drink Chen Jianchen's wedding banquet. The reason why they arrived late was because the two of them had discussed it for a while and then decided to condescend to come as a surprise.
The presence of the two high-ranking officials, the prefect and the academic administration, brought the atmosphere of the entire wedding banquet to a climax. The wine was drunk until dusk and slowly dissipated. In the process, the glasses were changed, the wine was exchanged, and all kinds of things
The situation is not mentioned.
The two adults came slowly but walked the fastest. Their appearance was just to express an attitude and a heart.
At dusk, when Wang Fu and others were finally sent out of the door, Chen Jianchen finally let out a long sigh of relief: The entertainment was finally over...
Or, his subtext is: it’s finally time to have a bridal chamber.
Three temporary workers hired temporarily were cleaning up the mess, while A Bao and the two maids brought by Lu Xiyue were laughing and joking, coming to make trouble with Chen Jianchen, and soon Ying Ning also joined in.
Chen Jianchen was in a great mood, and he was half pushed and half pushed into the new house by them.
Beep!
The door was closed from the outside, and the room suddenly became quiet, so quiet that only the breathing of two people was left, one was the groom's, and the other was the bride's.
It was the first time for Chen Jianchen to experience such a battle, and he couldn't let go. After a while, he remembered his mother's instructions. He spent some time to sort out his thoughts, and then started working step by step.
The first step is of course to lift off the bride's red hijab. But you can't use your hands, but use a steel scale, commonly known as the "happy scale". It is said that the stars marked with weights on it represent the heavenly stems, the earthly branches, and the six stars of the South Dipper.
The Seven Stars of the Big Dipper, plus the three stars of "Fu, Lu and Shou", exactly form the number sixteen, which means good luck and good fortune.
The weighing pole lifted up the red hijab, revealing a beautiful face with picturesque features and infinite shyness. (To be continued)
