2.45 Met Sister-in-law Lian
On August 22, the sun was shining brightly, just at the tail end of the "Autumn Tiger". Both the temperature and humidity were very suitable. The Rongguo Mansion specially asked Qin Tian to calculate the good days. It is suitable to start construction, travel, get married, visit relatives and friends, and avoid White affairs, business affairs, and war affairs.

"As the saying goes, 'people are in high spirits when happy events happen.' Second brother Lian looks even more elegant today than usual!" Looking at Jia Lian in front of him, who was wearing a bright red groom's official uniform, Zhou Yang laughed and joked. By the way, he turned around and looked at the other six "groomsmen" who were the children of the Jia family besides him and Fu Shi, and once again lamented the decline of Rongguo Mansion.

There is no doubt that it would be fine if everything goes well for today's wedding. But if there is any trouble or accident, you can only rely on yourself and Fu Shi to fight it off. As for the other six people, it seems that they are submissive at this time and don't even say a word. They didn't dare to talk to Jia Lian anymore, so they might as well pray to God and pray for blessings, at least it sounded like the same thing.

"Haha, thank you dear brother for the BMW!" Jia Lian looked at the wedding team behind him with a smile on his face, and patted the bloody horse on his crotch. "I didn't expect that dear brother has such a treasure. I really didn't notice it before. .”

This is what Zhou Yang didn't expect. In the past, when he entered the city, he always used the fast horses given by the eldest prince. This time, considering the big scene and the need to save face, he specially used the horses that were usually only used for martial arts and riding and shooting exercises. When the blood horses were replaced, who would have thought that the horses that Rongguo Mansion prepared for the heirs of their title to marry would be completely unable to keep up!
This is like a modern wedding. The wedding car prepared by the groom is a good low-end Mercedes-Benz, but you drive there in a Rolls-Royce. This is totally ruining the scene. After asking around for a while, he found out that Rongguo Mansion He has already left the army and has not kept any good horses at all. Jia Jingquan in Ningguo Mansion has been put in charge of Jia Zhen, and no one has thought about this at all!
"Today is a happy day for Brother Lian, so of course I have to use the best." Zhou Yang smiled, and spread another handful of nails without leaving a trace, patting his crotch by the way. It was originally prepared for Jia Lian, but it was shorter than the sweat horse. The white horse that was nearly half a foot away said, "I would also like to thank Brother Lian for your generosity. This sword is really good. It is only three feet (a little over seventy centimeters). It is not conspicuous when hung on the body."

"The auspicious time has come -" Jia Lian's expression obviously dropped. Fortunately, a shout from the matchmaker covered up the question, and before going out, the "ancestor worship" procedure had been completed, and the team set off immediately, and even the band started to play Tick ​​tock started playing.

The long procession went straight to the east of the inner city. At first, the Wang family's status was much lower than that of the Jia family, so their residence was naturally further away from the center of the city, but at least it was not too far, only four or five miles away. Firecrackers were blasting and drums were playing loudly along the way. , the onlookers on the road pointed and pointed, but mainly praised him. Let’s not talk about anything else. At least Jia Lian’s image is indeed very resistant.

"The groom called the door——" Finally, the team arrived at the Wang family's residence, and the matchmaker would naturally explain the procedures in time. Unfortunately, the door was closed. This is not surprising. If there were no problems at all, this wedding would be meaningless, wouldn't it?
"A gift of wild geese——" Since the door was closed, it was a gift. The matchmaker signaled again, and Fu Shi immediately brought two geese that were still squawking and presented them, passing them into the yard through the open side door. The male servants at the back also filed in carrying large and small gift boxes, and the other groomsmen who followed them just waved their hands, and rainy coins such as copper coins, broken silver, etc. were showered on the melons outside the door. the masses.

There was naturally cheers from the Wang family, but just when everyone thought the door would be opened soon, there was an exclamation of "The wild geese have flown" from inside the door, causing the outside to almost fall into dead silence. No one expected that such a thing would really happen. It will happen, and Jia Lian's expression is gloomy.

When Zhou Yang was discussing with Jia Lian at that time, he knew that Wang Ren, the "flower young man", was unable to "borrow money", so he threatened Jia Lian, but he actually did it. It should be noted that doing this at a wedding is almost equivalent to directly asking for money. If the groom "gets out" and meets someone who wants to save face, it may really mess up the marriage and cause the woman to "die" directly.

"What ran away?" Zhou Yang laughed deliberately to attract attention, and then he immediately opened his bow and fired arrows. Two black lights were accompanied by a cry of surprise. Two wild geese had their wings pierced by arrows and fell on the street. Even except for two In addition to bleeding from the wounds, he could still continue to quack. After all, the wild geese had just "taken off", and the straight-line distance was only forty or fifty steps. However, the wings of the birds were huge, and the "target" was very conspicuous. "Isn't this right?" There?"

"My dear brother, what's the next step?" Seeing the sky-high applause, the atmosphere was warm again, but Jia Lian looked at the closed door with an ugly face, "If you don't open it all the time."

"Two people go and lift the threshold away. Two more people go inside and open the door latch." Zhou Yang smiled and waved his hands. This kind of wedding troubles are more exaggerated in modern times, but there are many ways. He jumped down as he spoke. He got the horse and threw several firecrackers in through the gap between the threshold and the door, turning the door into a scream. The two best groomsmen were naturally not stupid. They entered through the side door and opened the door with the firecrackers under their feet. "Get ready." Throw money, let’s go, let’s see what’s next!”

"The groom has come in -" the matchmaker shouted at the right time, and a rain of broken coins and broken silver immediately fell into the door, calming down the temper of the Wang family who had just been "bombed". Only Wang Ren was left, standing in the middle with an ugly expression, confirming that Jia Lian After entering the door, he turned around and entered the ceremony gate without saying a word, as if he was attending a funeral instead of a wedding.

This also made Zhou Yang understand why in the original work it was clear that Jia Lian married Wang Xifeng, but this uncle had almost no contact with the Rongguo Mansion and had not even spoken to Sister Feng. With this blocking IQ, he basically said goodbye to his relatives and friends. Friends now. "Hahaha, brother Lian is very happy today. I, the elder brother, have prepared some water and wine to wish you a happy marriage. Why don't I treat you to a drink before leaving!" Seeing that his plan failed, Wang Ren did not give up, but quickly He brought a small three-legged table to block the door of the ceremony, with nine wine bowls placed on it, "Brother Lian won't be disrespectful, right?"

"Since it's my uncle who is enjoying the wine, I'd like to thank you very much!" Jia Lian had completely blacklisted Wang Ren, but he also knew that it was not the right time to cause trouble. He just looked at a group of quails behind him and Fu, who wanted to go up but was obviously unable. Try, "Thank you, dear brother!"

"Since it's a wedding wine, of course you shouldn't miss it!" Zhou Yang laughed and went up, picked up the wine bowl with his left hand and took a sip. His original smile immediately solidified, because this damn wine was really good, with a pure taste and a fragrant aroma. The problem was At least [-] to [-]% alcohol, plus a bowl of more than [-] liang, a total of nine bowls, which is more than two kilograms in total. Even if he drank it in one go, he would have to carry it away immediately!
"Why, Mr. Jie Yuangong can't drink it?" Wang Ren's smiling face also made Zhou Yang completely understand why Prince Tengdu later became the Jiedushi of the Beijing Camp. This man is still hated by gods and dogs. Even the Rongguo Mansion is hard to get in!
"Of course, good wine can't be wasted!" Zhou Yang smiled coldly, and with the completely cold atmosphere around him, it seemed that people almost forgot that this was a wedding, but he raised his hand and directly drank the wine bowl in his hand, making everyone Just when he thought he would drink it all, he heard three consecutive sounds of "clang, plop, clatter". One leg of the three-legged table suddenly broke, and the wine bowls on the table fell to the ground with a clatter.

"You -" Wang Ren's face was distorted with anger, but he could only point at Zhou Yang, completely speechless, because just now Zhou Yang took the opportunity to bend down and put down the empty bowl and suddenly drew his sword and cut it off with one move. The table leg, then sheathed the sword, discarding the table of "good wine", "You are very good!"

"Hahaha, blooming in pieces, wealth and glory!" Zhou Yang sneered and said auspicious words, but then he gently relaxed his hand, and the empty bowl fell to the ground with a "snap", and it also fell into broken porcelain slag. , "It's just such a pity for these good wines!"

"Hmph!" Wang Ren left with a gloomy expression. Zhou Yang looked at his back with disdain, not even saying a word. There was no doubt that the two had a personal grudge, but considering that this person in charge Zhou Yang really has no interest in dealing with the "classic" performance in the original work.

"Meet the groom——" has reached this level. If there is any "program", it basically means that they don't want to get married. The Wang family heard the news and immediately sent out greeters, so everything went smoothly until the two beautiful maids After supporting the bride, who was covered with a red hijab, to get on the eight-carriage sedan, the natural next step was to go back to pay homage. As for Jia Lian, who was smiling like a Maitreya Buddha at this time, he naturally had no objections.

That night, probably because of Zhou Yang's "excellent" performance, Jia Lian dragged him to stay for one night, and directly set up a small drink in his yard. He drank three glasses of wine without saying anything, which was obviously a sign of respect to him. Extremely satisfied with the performance.

"Okay, Second Brother Lian!" Zhou Yang stopped him with a smile. He was so active in "boosting his favorability", and it was certainly not without purpose. Today's Ningrong Second Mansion is still the top wealthy family in the capital, and has plenty of resources to share profits. He will have to use it after the spring of next year. As for the subsequent decline of the Jia family, it is still early anyway. Whether it is rescue or division, there is still enough time. "They are all brothers, why are you so polite!"

"Thank you for your help today, dear brother. Otherwise, I would have lost some face." Jia Lian smiled and handed over his hands, "It just so happens that you and I are brothers. I am very happy for you today. You also meet your sister-in-law. After you get married, don't break up. After all, Ping'er, Ping'er, why don't you help your grandma out?"

"Keke, I don't want to enter the house. It's the first time I've seen a man other than Lian Er. He's actually Duke Jie Yuan!" Before entering the living room, a laugh came from the backyard, highlighting the owner's outgoing character. , and a strong style!

She has a pair of red phoenix triangular eyes, two curved willow-leaf eyebrows, a slender figure and a coquettish figure, a pink face that contains the power of spring, and a red lip that smells before she smiles. She looks like a "fairy concubine"——

"Meet Lian's second sister-in-law!"
