On the fifteenth day of the seventh month, it is appropriate to offer sacrifices and avoid getting married.
Sujia Village, located in the central part of Qian Kingdom, is in the autumn harvest season.
When night falls, the last trace of red in the west is swallowed up and melts into the dim skylight.
Farmers who had worked hard all day were in groups, leading cattle, carts and sacks on their way home.
The sudden sound of the suona startled the birds to chirp, and the people stopped one after another to follow the sound.
I saw a small gray sedan with a crooked big red flower tied on it, being carried by two men, trembling and hurriedly towards the east end of the village.
The heavily made-up matchmaker swung her handkerchief, struggling to catch up with her little feet, but with a rather professional fake smile on her face. At first glance, she looked like a wooden mask painted with inferior oil paint at a temple fair.
There was another person, chasing the sedan, playing the suona as he ran, as if someone was pinching his neck and was about to die, and the music was out of tune.
"Who chooses to get married today? They are not afraid of bad luck!"
"Who else could it be? Mr. Ning! He said he is dying and wants to marry a wife to celebrate his death!"
"Su Daqiang really sold his granddaughter for ten taels of silver?"
"A granddaughter was sold, but not Su Daqiang's own granddaughter!"
"That is……"
"The great-niece who came to join him last year!"
"The one named Su Liang? It's an unlucky name!"
…
The sedan creaked and creaked, and finally stopped before falling apart.
The matchmaker banged the door loudly, and no one answered after a long time. Her old face fell, and the powder on her cheekbones fell down, and she muttered, "Is it possible that you regretted it?"
Accompanied by the loud sound of the suona, the matchmaker leaned forward and raised her hands high, but the door suddenly opened, and her short and fat body rushed in, falling and gnawing in the mud!
She rolled up to the ground, her fake smile was only halfway up, when a hard cloth bag fell into her arms.
"Hiss!" The matchmaker gasped in pain, grabbed the bag, opened it, and saw that her lips painted red were grinning to the back of her ears, "The bride is here, please take advantage of the auspicious time to pay her respects. !”
"Get out!" The lean old man with a dark face seemed to be squeezing the word out from between his teeth.
The matchmaker hunched her neck and left, calling to the suona player carrying the sedan chair, "Let's go!"
The old man stared at the dilapidated sedan outside the door, clenched and unclenched his fists, snorted coldly, slammed the door and went back.
The matchmaker took the money and ran to the west of the village. Suddenly she heard the rapid sound of horse hooves approaching. She was so frightened that she rolled and fell into the bushes on the roadside. When she looked up again, she saw a man and a horse galloping toward the east.
Just a blurry figure from the back conveyed a chilling intimidation, and the matchmaker swallowed back the curses she was about to blurt out.
Su Liang opened his eyes, the surroundings were pitch black, and he felt that he had arrived in the underworld.
My memory is clear, so I must have not reached Naihe Bridge yet.
As a professional who came from a family of traditional Chinese medicine but joined the army, she might try to analyze the ingredients of Meng Po Tang later...
Thinking like this, Su Liang calmed down. There was no resurrection, so he had to accept his fate and wait for the underworld staff to lead the way to Naihe Bridge to reincarnate.
The curtains were swaying, and the night breeze was cool.
Su Liang sneezed and wanted to open the curtain to see if the Yama Hall was outside.
Across the curtain, I caught a hand that seemed warm.
I can't help but be shocked, there are actually living people in the underworld?
The already weak sedan curtain fell down with a slight tug. When he raised his head, all he could see was the starry sky in the dark night, and a man very close at hand.
His face was facing away from the light and could not be seen clearly.
But those eyes are so beautiful! They seem to be condensed from fine starlight, without any temperature, but they are still astonishingly beautiful.
"Get off the sedan." The voice sounded nice.
But Su Liang felt that something was wrong...
He moved his gaze downwards and shrank his eyes! Ancient costume?
The sedan curtain wrapped the man's hand, Su Liang held it tightly, and forgot to let go for a moment. Realizing that something was strange, Su Liang squeezed it twice more.
Although there is no skin contact, it feels excellent in the hand, and the slender fingers have well-defined joints, which are suitable for playing the piano.
He's not a kid, he's a real person.
Su Liang didn't show it on her face, but there was a storm in her heart: Is she still alive? Has she traveled through time?
"You and I are getting married today, and it's time to go to the wedding hall." The man spoke again, his tone indifferent, like frozen stagnant water in the cold winter.
Su Liang:...I'm going...
The stern-faced old man rushed over, tore off the sedan curtain, forcibly separated the two people, pulled off the red silk flowers on the sedan, and scolded Su Liang for grabbing one end.
Su Liang held on silently and heard a sentence, "Sir, the 'time' has come!"
The voice was lowered, but the word "hour" was deliberately emphasized, and the meaning was unclear.
There seemed to be the sound of horse hooves not far away.
Su Liang was dragged out. Before she could see what the young master looked like, her eyesight went dark and a hijab blocked her vision.
"Lift your feet."
Su Liang crossed the threshold and was led forward.
If you are not in a dream, you can only travel through time.
But she did not receive the slightest memory of the original owner, and was completely confused about the situation. The only certainty was that her originally strong body was now weak, and it was extremely unwise to resist or escape.
It doesn't matter if you go to the church or not, as long as you don't have a bridal chamber, everything is easy to discuss.
With this in mind, she planned to figure out the situation before talking.
"Worship heaven and earth."
Su Liang asked in a low voice, "Kneel down?"
"No need." It was that magnetic young male voice again.
She has nice eyes and a nice voice, so she shouldn't be ugly... Su Liang thought silently and bowed.
After hearing "Second bows to the high hall", Su Liang turned around and continued to bow.
If she took off the hijab, she would see a tablet on the table, but there was no word on it.
"Couple greetings!"
Su Liang turned sideways, and then hit his head...
"The ceremony is completed! Congratulations, young master!"
But when Su Liang listened, this "congratulations" clearly revealed unconcealable depression and no joy at all.
He was taken into a room and sat down by the bed.
The silk flower lightly hit Su Liang's lap and then hung down. The man let go.
"You rest here." A cold voice.
"Oh." Su Liang responded subconsciously.
The sound of footsteps, the sound of a door closing, the door opening and closing next door.
Su Liang breathed a sigh of relief, looked down at the exquisite embroidered shoes on her feet, and felt her own beating pulse. It seemed that she had really traveled through time.
When the surrounding area became quiet, Su Liang pulled off her hijab. Before she could see clearly the furnishings in the room, the door was suddenly kicked open!
A tall, muscular young man strode towards Su Liang with sharp eyes. He was not the one who had just paid homage to her.
Wearing dark clothes, a sword on his waist, and a jade crown binding his hair, he has a tall and straight posture, which brings a biting wind when he walks, giving people a strong sense of oppression.
He is much more handsome and stylish than the general in Su Liang's previous TV series.
"Who are you? Who asked you to come in?" The lean old man appeared at the door.
The man walked up to Su Liang, staring at her face with bright eyes, but he said to the old man behind him, "I am Nian Jincheng, the third-rank military general of the current dynasty, and I have been ordered to capture the descendants of the Gu family who are plotting rebellion!
Anyone who blocks it will be killed without mercy!"
A glittering golden token floated away from Su Liang's eyes. In her heart, ten thousand grass and mud horses galloped past. Was the one who just worshiped her a rebel?
After traveling through time, can’t we even see the sun tomorrow?
Looking past the man in front of her, she saw that the old man who had been unkind to her not long ago was looking nervous at this moment, "I'm afraid you are looking in the wrong place? My master's surname is Ning, and I have never heard of anyone named Gu."
Nian Jincheng ignored him and still stared at Su Liang, "Are you willing to marry him?"
Su Liang:...saying "no" may be able to clear up the relationship? However, the fact that the "groom" is a rebel has not been finalized yet. Instead of counting on the murderous general in front of him, it is better to stand with the "groom"
More secure.
As long as he's safe, she'll be fine.
Thinking of this, Su Liang lowered her eyes, pulled the red hijab in her hand, and nodded timidly, "Yes..."
Nian Jincheng narrowed his eyes slightly and said in a deep voice, "I was tracking down the rebels and passed by Sujia Village. I became addicted to alcohol. I learned that your mansion was holding a wedding event, so I came to ask for a cup of wedding wine to satisfy my greed. I can't help disturbing the young lady.
!”
Su Liang:...I believe you are a ghost...
The old man at the door looked very relieved and quickly said with a smile, "General Nian's visit is a great honor for my Ning family. I will fetch wine for General Nian right now!"
Su Liang thought it was time for Nian Jincheng to leave, but he took out a jade hairpin from his arms and inserted it into Su Liang's black hair. He took two steps back and cupped his hands and said, "I picked it up on the road. Congratulations, little lady, on finding the right husband."
, it is also a gift of apology!" After saying this, he turned around and strode away.
The door slammed shut again.
"General Nian, please accept my young master's kindness."
Nian Jincheng took the wine jar and stared at the thin figure reflected in the window next door. His stern face was half-dark in the night, and he said loudly, "I wish you both a son and a long life together! Farewell!"
The sound of horse hooves faded away, and the courtyard became quiet.
"Master, did he not notice it, or..."
"He knew it was me."
"But if you plan to let the young master off, why did he come?"
"He didn't make the decision, and he wasn't the only one who came."
"Thank God, Mr. Nian still cares about his old relationship! But he must be unhappy when he sees Mr. Nian visiting the village girl. After all, Miss Nian and Mr. Nian have been engaged since they were young."
"I married a wife and have nothing to do with the Nian family anymore. Nian Jincheng understands what I mean. Gu Ling is dead. From now on, there will be only peace in the world."
"Alas! But what should we do with that village girl?"
"Let's talk tomorrow."
…
In the woods outside Sujia Village, the night wind was bleak.
Nian Jincheng reined in his horse, and eight soldiers in fine armor and swords flashed out of the darkness.
"I have confirmed that it is Ning Jing, the seventh son of a concubine who was expelled by the Xunyang tea merchant Ning family. He lives here and is getting married tonight and is in the bridal chamber." Nian Jincheng said with a cold face.
An old and feminine voice came from behind, "Just now, the Za family went to the village to ask for a cup of hot water, but they didn't meet General Nian!"
Nian Jincheng tightened his grip on the reins and heard the person behind him sneer, "The Za family found out that although the girl Ning Qi married was beautiful, she was illiterate, lazy, vulgar and rude. Based on these alone,
It is impossible for him to be Prince Gu, whose eyes are higher than his head."
Nian Jincheng breathed a sigh of relief, "Thank you so much, Eunuch Han, if that's the case, just look for it elsewhere!"
