Value peace

Chapter 140

Wei Lingyun stroked his aching head and smiled: "Just say 'Congratulations' to the Lord for me!"

Wei Shijian looked at his father with some dissatisfaction: "Father, this is a good opportunity. Why don't you mention to me that we want to open a bank in Gaochang..."

Wei Lingyun's face darkened, and he said: "Don't be confused. When you meet the Duke, don't say anything. As a person, he has everything in mind. How much effort our Wei family has put in, and for what hardships, he I know, if there is something good, it will naturally take care of us!"

What Wei Shijian wanted to say, Wei Lingyun gave his son a hard look: "Remember, only dogs that don't bark will bite. Be honest with me in front of him from now on, don't play with your tricks, but In this regard, your aunt is no match for him, there are few in this world who can compare to him, I have seen it before..."

* * * * * *
The Wei family is headed by Wei Shijian, and the Qi family is in charge of Qi Hao's big brother Qi Qi. The two arrange the marriage together.

Acceptance, asking for names, Najib, accepting recruitment, application period, letter of appointment, letter of ceremonies, all completed within three days.

On the night of the fifth day of the lunar new year, Gu Xiyan and Duan Yingluo moved to the courtyard where Wei's family lived in Liushu Hutong in Yongzhou City, and lived in Furongxuan. Liu Meier moved in two days later than her.She told Gu Xiyan that on the night of the sixth day, Mrs. Xu arranged for someone to comb Wei Shiying's hair and send it to the Peanut Alley where Qi Yuzhi lived, but Qi Yuzhi was still living in the Xianji courtyard and no one went back, saying that he would prepare for Qi Hao in the next two days He has to take care of the marriage, so it's more convenient to live there...

Speaking of this, Liu Mei'er sighed faintly: "Why is my aunt thinking of marrying you... that person, how will your life be in the future!"

Sweat broke out on Gu Xiyan's forehead, and she hurriedly changed the subject: "What happened to your story? Can you find out about the person you mentioned?"

Liu Mei'er blushed, and her voice buzzed like a mosquito: "Yes, it's the third young master of their family, the concubine's concubine's concubine, my mother has seen her, she said, she said it's okay..."

Gu Xiyan was startled, and said: "Madam Liu has met, when did it happen?"

Liu Meier's face became even redder: "He waited on Mrs. Cui to come over to greet Mrs. Xu. The young master married Sister Wei and held a banquet. Everyone went, and the mother met through the curtain and said it was okay... "

Gu Xiyan was a little worried: "Can you ask someone to inquire more carefully!"

Liu Meier lowered her head: "Today, big cousin will treat him to dinner...and then decide..."

It seems that whether Mrs. Wei or Mrs. Liu, the marriage of Meier is much more cautious than what he thinks.

She calmed down a little.

Liu Meier said: "I heard from my aunt that you will be on the road on the first day of the ninth day of spring?"

Gu Xiyan nodded: "We must arrive before February [-]th."

Liu Meier called Qiugui. When Qiugui came in, she dragged a wicker box. Liu Meier asked her to open the box, and took out a stack of silver-red silk and handed it to Gu Xiyan. ...and give it to you now!"

Gu Xiyan opened it, and in the faint cocoon light, the bed was full of little boys with different postures, lifelike and eager to move.

"I have been embroidering for seven or eight years..." Liu Meier was a little embarrassed, "I heard that you left on the ninth day of the lunar new year and rushed to finish the last one. There are a hundred in total. I wish you... many children and grandchildren!"

"Thank you!" Gu Xiyan's eyes were moist.

This should be embroidered by Liu Meier for herself.

Liu Meier's eyes turned red when she saw Gu Xiyan, thinking that she was going to get married soon, and the chance of meeting him again in the future was very slim, and thinking of Qi Hao's temperament and the rumors about Qi's mansion, she couldn't help but her eyes turned red, and she hugged her. Looking at Gu Xiyan, she began to cry: "If anything goes wrong with you in the future, remember to write a letter and ask someone to bring it to me..."

Things in this world are really strange, Liu Meier, the two met on such an occasion, but they became the first girlfriends he made after coming to this world.Although I have concealed a lot from Liu Meier, but Liu Meier treats me sincerely!
Gu Xiyan thought that Liu Mei'er was about to marry into that big family where "everyone would get the wrong person with the list", and also thought of her pure and kind character, and couldn't help but feel worried and sad for her.

The two hugged each other and cried loudly, which made Duan Yingluo and Qiu Gui cry.

On the eighth day of the lunar new year, everything that should be prepared by Gu Xiyan has been prepared. The dowry items have been carried to the Wei Mansion, and the marriage certificate has also been filed in the government office. , the carriages and personnel for the trip have been arranged, and they only have to wait for the departure in the morning of the ninth day of the ninth day.

The Wei family was very generous to Gu Xiyan. It is said that a total of 120 hectares of dowry items were carried, among which 120 hectares of fertile land and a horse farm were given to her as a dowry. This surprised Gu Xiyan and reminded her of That Mrs. Lian, who had passed away long ago, thought of the thirty years of fertile land she had left to her, and guessed with what kind of feelings she had looked forward to her daughter's marriage... She began to miss Duanniang and Mo Julai who were thousands of miles away.

How wonderful it would be if they could be by my side at this time!
It turned out that she had melted into this world unconsciously...

In the evening, Liu Meier and Gu Xiyan rested side by side in Furong Pavilion.

After seeing off Gu Xi tomorrow morning, she will go back to the Liu family's other courtyard in Yongzhou, and Mrs. Liu will also start preparing for her acceptance.

The two talked for most of the night, both of them were determined to see each other more often in the future, and they urged and urged each other.

When the first ray of sunshine in the morning shone on the head of Yongzhou city, two columns of people and horses galloped out from the east gate and south gate at the same time.The one going east is Qi Yuzhi, who will host today's spring festival on behalf of Qi Hao; the one going south is Gu Xiyan, who will go to Hongtai to marry Qi Hao.

The itinerary was monotonous and dull, but to Gu Xiyan, it was joyful and looking forward to.She counted cities one by one. After leaving Yongzhou, she went to Tongzhou. Tongzhou used to be Ningzhou, and next to Ningzhou was Fangzhou. Then she would enter Yanzhou and reach the border of Jindi.

But as soon as they entered Meizhou, they were put in a place called a mill by a heavy snowfall.

The north wind was howling, and the snow was fluttering. In one night, the ground was knee-deep in snow, and the sky was still snowing heavily, and the carriage could not move at all.

Gu Xiyan was wrapped in thick hair, but she counted the days anxiously, and prayed to all the gods and Buddhas she knew in her heart, so don't be surprised, this is the third time she is talking about marriage!As the saying goes, there are only three things, so let her go smoothly!

Tian Jing, who escorted them to Hongtai, was also very nervous, wearing armor and patrolling several times a day.

Because of the difference between men and women, Wei Shijian, who saw her off, only came to greet her several times through a thick curtain.

Finally, when the snow stopped, seven or eight days had passed, so we had to adjust our schedule and head to Hongtai.It was a rainy day, the snow stopped, and the northwest wind blew up again, which made the road hard and people and cars didn't dare to drive fast. Everyone stumbled all the way and finally entered Qiongzhou on the seventh day of February. territory.At this time, the weather was slightly warmer, and the ice on the road began to melt, and mud spots were splashed all over the cars, horses, and people.

After discussing with Wei Shijian, Tian Jing decided to travel day and night.

On the evening of February [-]th, they finally reached Hongtai.

Hongtai is still full of soldiers, and the silence is scary, but different from last time, this time there are red ribbons and lanterns hanging on the city wall and some roadsides.

Gu Xiyan and his party rested in a gorgeous courtyard. The courtyard was surrounded by officers and soldiers, but the inside of the courtyard was very desolate. It could be seen that the owner's family had long since moved south to escape the war.

After Wei Shijian settled Gu Xiyan, he immediately went to Hongtai's government office to discuss matters related to tomorrow's wedding.

There were women who bathed Gu Xiyan and the others in hot water, and Duan Yingluo recognized one of them, it was a rough envoy woman surnamed Wang who was in charge of kitchen affairs when they lived in the Hongtai government office.

It was a bit like meeting an old friend in a foreign country, and both of them were very happy.

Mrs. Wang pulled Duan Yingluo aside and whispered: "Why did your girl suddenly marry the Duke?"

Duan Yingluo said vaguely: "The elders decided."

Mrs. Wang shook her head sympathetically: "After all, she lost her biological parents..."

Duan Yingluo's heart moved, and she said with a smile: "What did Mammy hear?"

Mrs. Wang hesitated a little.

Duan Yingluo smiled and stuffed a small piece of silver to her: "Nurse is not someone else, and we are just inquiring about it. If something happens in the future, we should be prepared and deal with it..."

Mrs. Wang quietly pulled Duan Yingluo to a secluded veranda, and said in a low voice: "The Duke will not live long..."

Duan Yingluo was startled.

"At the beginning of February, an assassin rushed into the mansion. The Duke was seriously injured and was lying on the bed. Even the court was alarmed by this incident. They even sent an angel to visit the Duke of Yan and brought many gifts. He also appointed the Duke of the State as the governor of Gaochang..."

That's what happened!
Duan Yingluo thought of the relationship between the Asura Sect and the Duke of Yan's mansion, and saw Mrs. Wei's methods, so she didn't believe that Qi Hao was so vulnerable.

Seeing that Duan Yingluo was not worried at all, Mrs. Wang thought she didn't believe what she said, so she hurriedly said: "It's true, the angel who came to the court hasn't left yet..."

When Duan Yingluo returned to the room, she pretended to be smiling and told Gu Xiyan.

Gu Xiyan said coquettishly: "This guy is scheming, he cheats the dead without paying for his life!"

The journey all the way made both of them a little tired, so everyone talked and laughed a few words before going to rest.

Although the wedding was held in Hongtai, there are still many etiquettes to be observed.

Before dawn on the [-]th, Gu Xiyan was pulled up by the nuns who sent her off to shower, comb her hair, dress her face, and dress up. She was busy until four or five o'clock in the afternoon. As soon as it was dark, the procession to meet the relatives came. Gu Xiyan resigned from the ancestors of the Gu family in Tianshui, Fengzhou, Guannei County in front of the temporary incense table, and covered her red hijab. Amidst the sound of crackling firecrackers, Wei Shijian Gu Xiyan, who was wrapped in a thin quilt on her back, got on the sedan chair. On the way, someone sprinkled millet and beans on her body, the curtain of the sedan chair was lowered, and the sedan chair was lifted up amidst the sound of firecrackers.

Gu Xiyan was sitting in the sedan chair, her head was covered with a bright red hijab, her eyes were full of glamour, she could only look down at the toes of the red high and low shoes exposed from the eight embroidered skirts, on which was embroidered with golden silk thread. Duo Bing Di Lian.

Really, just married like this!

Along the way, there are crackling firecrackers.

In the rickety sedan chair, Gu Xiyan only felt that something in her heart made her panic. She took a deep breath, tried her best to ignore her mood, and counted the petals of the lotus on the tip of her shoe.

One, two, three... There are five petals.

Why five and not eight?

In the world she knows well, eight is an auspicious number.

Gu Xiyan turned around and counted again.

The sedan chair stopped.
