Chapter 254
Xiao Yuandu didn't have any official airs when he came to the countryside on weekdays, and seeing that he was in a good mood today, the accompanying guests were a little more courageous, and jokingly asked him if he was also in such a hurry when he was newly married.

Xiao Yuandu picked up the wine bowl and drank it, and answered irrelevant questions: "If it wasn't for the sudden snow, my wife and I might still be able to catch up with the ceremony."

The old man also felt very sorry: "I was supposed to enter the city two days earlier, but I didn't expect that the sky would not open my eyes, the snow could not stop, and it didn't stop until today..."

The family didn't have any hope at first, although the wife agreed, but the county magistrate and she are both very busy, so how dare they take it seriously?
Unexpectedly, they really came here, braving the wind and snow... The old man rolled up his cuffs and wet his eyes.

Xiao Yuandu glanced at the groom and motioned him to give his father a full hand.

The bridegroom did so, Xiao Yuandu picked up the wine bowl and touched it with the old man, without saying anything else, he raised his head and drank it down.

Is there any reason not to drink the county magistrate's toast?The old man picked up the wine bowl and drank it clean. After drinking, he wiped his mouth and shook the bowl downwards, quite young and heroic.

Xiao Yuandu couldn't help laughing again, and gave him a thumbs up while laughing.

The old man was so happy.

The Li official also drank a bowl with him, then turned around and asked about the scene when the groom went to greet the bride.

The groom said everything.

"Is the bride's family ready?"

"It's ready, just like our side, the uncles and brothers in the clan are all guarding outside the courtyard at the entrance of the village—"

Xiao Yuandu stopped drinking, and when he and Jiang Nu entered the village, they saw a few people holding sticks wandering around the entrance of the village.

Someone said: "It's far from useless! There is such a heavy snow, who will snatch the kiss."

"That's not guaranteed. You still remember that the daughter of the old Shentou's family in our village was going to marry to Malan Village last year. It was snowing and the road was not far away, and she was robbed halfway."

"That's the people of Huang Village relying on the crowd!"

"Well, that girl is also a hardy girl. After a few days of snatching her away, she finally managed to escape, but her husband's family in Malan Village refused to recognize her. When she returned to her mother's house, she was hanged with a rope..."

"It's a big day, what are you talking about!"

"That's right, that's not always the case. Whose family is it? At first, they were crying endlessly, but then they lived in peace?"

In this room full of people, there were some whose daughters were robbed, and some who robbed other people's women. No one felt that there was anything wrong, and they couldn't tell the good from the bad at all.

"County magistrate, county magistrate..." Xiao Yuandu suddenly fell silent, the old man didn't understand why.

But the official guessed a little bit, and interrupted: "Let's not talk about this, come and drink."

But there was the one who didn't open his eyes, got carried away with too much muddy soup, burped and said: "The wife of our county magistrate Xiao was also snatched by himself, and the two of you are very good!"

Xiao Yuandu's marriage snatching was too sensational at the beginning. First, the two states almost fought, and later, the marriage was bestowed by the emperor, which is still talked about by people.

Even in a place as remote as Wu Xiong, there are many people who know about it.Of course, there are also things that were only known today.

After the drunk man finished speaking, there was an uproar in the house—I never expected that the county magistrate also relied on robbery to get married!
But it's no wonder that the county magistrate's wife not only looks like a fairy, but also is kind like a Guanyin. It is reasonable for Xiao County magistrate to be unable to hold back and rob her.

"Magistrate Xiao is also a man of temperament! Can you tell everyone, how did you snatch him away in the first place? Are you the same as us?"

"How can it be the same? You guys are waiting for a small fight, how can it be as vigorous as County Magistrate Xiao."

"That's right, what about Chongzhou, don't you have to go all the way?"

"The county magistrate is the county magistrate, and robbing marriages is better than ordinary people..."

Seeing that Xiao Yuandu's complexion was getting more and more uncomfortable, the Li Li was about to stop drinking, when Xiao Yuandu stood up abruptly.The movement was too big, and the plate on the desk was driven to jingle.

The house was silent.

Xiao Yuandu caught a glimpse of the old man's terrified eyes, thinking that today was finally a happy day, he twitched the corner of his mouth slightly, "It's all right, everyone, drink slowly."

Everyone thought he was going to go to the toilet, so they continued to talk about it.

Just after leaving the main room, I heard the drunk man say: "My family is poor, I can't hire a matchmaker, and I plan to snatch a bride back, everyone has already made inquiries, and then I will ask my fathers and villagers to help me!"

"Good to say, good to say..."

Xiao Yuandu stood in the courtyard with the backlight, his face was cold.

He knew that he shouldn't care about these villagers, so who should he care about?What do you care about?
Robbery?Regardless of the secrets, this custom was not made by him, it is the same in the north, and he is not the only one who adheres to it.

It's obviously a common thing, and I didn't feel much about it before, so why does it always feel uncomfortable to hear people mention it now.

"...Young Madam, she is a noble daughter of Jingling after all, if she encounters such a thing, another person may not be able to survive it..."

Recalling Xiutu's words, and the bride who was said to be hanged by a rope just now, Xiao Yuandu's heart felt a little blocked, and he wanted to go out to get some air.

He stopped when he passed the wedding room.Through the half-closed door, he saw Jiang Nu among the crowd.

Maybe it was because the talking and laughing in the main room was too loud just now, and I heard it here, so the women also "joked" about Jiang Nu one after another. Although her words were not as rude as the men's, they were not far behind—in their opinion, the county magistrate and his wife She is very affectionate and belongs to the "good marriage snatched", so she has no scruples.

"Magistrate Xiao must treat his wife with deep affection, otherwise he would not be willing to take such risks."

"That's needless to say! I've noticed a long time ago that County Magistrate Xiao's eyes always follow Madam, wherever Madam is, his eyes are there, I'm afraid Madam will get lost."

"It's so easy to grab it, so you're not afraid of getting lost..."

The room was filled with laughter, and Jiang Fosang also laughed.

Xiao Yuandu looked into her eyes, but there was no smile in those eyes.

But the women didn't notice, and they were coaxing her to tell her about the wedding day.

"I heard that people all over the city have gone, and the pomp is comparable to a princess descending!"

"Xiao county magistrate is actually not considered a robbery, who can get a marriage from the emperor? What's more, he has worshiped the heaven and the earth and entered the Qinglu in a serious way."

"Ma'am, tell me, how did County Magistrate Xiao behave on the night of the wedding? You're so excited!"

Everyone was looking at Jiang Fosang, even the bride was staring at her with curiosity written all over her oval face.

These people are no worse than the Zhai family, they have no malicious intentions, and Jiang Fusang knows better than anyone else.

But what they are talking about now is the malice that is imposed on all women, and this will not change because a certain bride who was taken away is "happy".

There are even victims of marriage robbery among them...

Are they insensitive?And who let them fall into this insensitive situation.

It is not difficult to deal with this kind of situation, Jiang Fosang pulled the topic away from himself in a few words.

The focus of everyone returned to the bride again, asking questions around her.

Jiang Fosang turned around and unexpectedly met a pair of eyes.
