Splendid Pastoral: The Strong and Hot Wife

Chapter 285 Returning to the Capital

This time, they were finally able to really drink Xu Xiaomi's wedding wine.

When Jin Yulian and Yu Zhimo heard the news, they were so excited that they burst into tears.

Yu Zhimo said to his wife with emotion: "Thank God, God has eyes! These two children finally have lovers and get married!"

That night, in order to come to add makeup to Xu Xiaomi, the couple called Jin Yulian together overnight and came to Xu Xiaomi's house.

Wei Zhuang's family, with their one-year-old son, also received the news and rushed to Xu Xiaomi's house overnight that night.

After Zhou Jingtian and the others received the news, they rushed over with the messenger, fearing that they would be too late the next day.When they all arrived, it was already three o'clock.

Fortunately, at the third uncle's house, the third aunt and third cousin Zhou Ruoyu arrived. The only thing Xu Xiaomi regretted was that several cousins ​​and third uncle failed to come to the wedding.

Xu Xiaomi knew that the third uncle and a few cousins ​​were far away in Yunzhou, and they would not be able to come back at this moment. They had been away for almost a month last time.Forget it, let Qing Wu tell them it's okay.

The next morning, Lao Cai and the others didn't know if the band they were looking for in Qinglong Town came to the door of Xu's house very early.

Xu Xiaomi saw that in addition to the person who came that day, there were 60 or [-] more people in today's welcoming team.

After she asked, she found out that these people were all sent by the town guard of Qinglong Town to help carry the dowry.

Today, Xu Xiaomi was smeared with a thick layer of powder on her face by Jin Yulian, and then put on heavy makeup.

Xu Xiaomi looked at herself in the bronze mirror and disliked it for a long time. She wanted to wipe off the powder on her face, but felt very disrespectful.In the end, I had no choice but to wrong myself and stop caring about that face.

Then he and Qiu Yongzheng hurriedly put on the big red wedding clothes, worshiped Gao Tang and ancestors at home, and then walked out to worship along the road.

They thanked the villagers of Xujia Village for protecting the safety of Xu Xiaomi's family with their lives.

She decided that when she came back from the capital, she would build an ancestral hall for the villagers of Xujia Village, and she would offer all the tablets.So that she would burn incense and paper money for them every Qingming Festival and Shangyuan Festival.

After they circled the village one by one, they walked back home. At noon, they toasted the old man again.

During the toast, Xu Xiaomi sneaked into the room, breathed out on Xiaoxiang, and put it in the big jewelry box.

After noon, Xu Xiaomi and Qiu Yongzheng got into the big flower carriage and reluctantly bid farewell to grandparents, parents and parents.

Because Qiu Yongzheng was agreed to be married, Zhou Yuqing, Xu Erqiang, Zhou Xuewu and Huang Shi did not show any sad expressions.

After just a few instructions to the two of them, they let Lao Cai and the others set off with the team.

Because, Xu Xiaomi had said a long time ago that she would take Shen Hu back to the capital together.Therefore, Shen Hu was followed by a carriage.

Xu Hao and Xu Xiaoting went to the capital to see off their relatives with the team.

Zhou Xuewu and the others looked at the procession of seeing off their relatives, and slowly walked back to the house as they slowly blurred into the distance.

The band played and played all the way, alarming the villagers in the villages along the way.

Everyone ran out to watch the long send-off match, which aroused the envy of many little girls.

I only heard them discussing: "Look! Look! This is the only golden phoenix in Xujia Village. Do you think their dowry is only ten miles of red makeup?

Look at the things that are being carried, they are all things that our peasants have never seen before. "

"Yes! I heard that she married the third son of the current emperor!"

"Wow - oh! I don't know what the prince looks like? I heard that the daughter of that family looks really good-looking."

"Look! There are two people sitting in that big flower chariot! That chariot is so beautiful, and the people sitting in it are like a pair of fairy couples in legend."

"How could this be? Shouldn't the groom who welcomes the bride ride a horse? Why is he sitting in a flower carriage like a woman?"

"It's called Enai, you mud-legged people, what do you know?"

Xu Xiaomi and Qiu Yongzheng, hearing these villagers' discussions, looked at each other with happy and sweet smiles in their hearts.

Because the queue was too long and there were too many things to move fast, they couldn't sleep at night, so they had to sleep in the open.

On the first day, just after Qinglong Town, it was dark.Everyone set up camp in the open space beside the road.

More than a dozen bonfires were lit, and everyone sat around to warm up in the winter.

Xu Xiaomi and Qiu Yongzheng went to Xu Hao and Xu Xiaoting's brother and sister.

At this moment, two people, Lao Cai and Xiao Huanzi, came over with a big cloth bag in each hand.

"Third prince, third concubine, we will be staying here today, let's have something to eat!"

Lao Cai said enthusiastically.

Xu Xiaomi reached out to take the food they handed over. When she saw that it was flatbread and jerky, she tore some up and put it in her mouth.

Qiu Yongzheng gently pulled her hand and asked, "When did this happen?"

After hearing this, Lao Cai quickly bowed his head and cupped his hands and replied: "Back to the third prince, this is what I asked the cook at Qingyuan Inn to make this last night. This old slave personally watched over there."

After hearing this, Qiu Yongzheng didn't say anything, but he didn't let Xu Xiaomi eat either.

Seeing this situation, Xu Xiaomi thought that her name was Cui Tao, and she had brought enough food for the road.

So he said: "Why don't you do this! Eunuch Cai, put these away first!"

Xu Xiaomi returned the cloth bag in his hand to Lao Cai, and then shouted in the direction of the chariot: "Cui Tao! Take out the food we brought on the road and share it with everyone."

I only heard Cuipao answering "yes" somewhere, and after a while, I saw Cuipao and Cuiping, each carrying a cloth bag, walking over.

Xu Xiaomi gave Xu Hao, Xu Xiaoting, and Qiu Yongzheng a piece of jerky and a steamed bun.He also took a piece of jerky and tore it up to eat.

"Cuitao! You give the cloth bag to Eunuch Cai and the others to distribute. You two go get two usable earthen pots and boil some water for everyone to drink. You should eat something too! Don't be hungry!"

Xu Xiaomi said.

So, Lao Cai and the others took the cloth bag given by Cuidao and distributed the food inside to everyone.

Everyone started to doze off after eating.Xu Xiaomi asked Qiu Yongzheng to sleep first, and she was accompanied by Cuipao and Cuiping.

After looking around to make sure there was no danger, he walked slowly to the side of the big flower chariot, and let Cui Tao and the others fall asleep while waiting.

Maybe it was because the day was too tiring, Qiu Yongzheng slept soundly, and Xu Xiaomi also slept soundly.

It wasn't until dawn the next day that Xu Xiaomi woke up with a loud noise.

At this time, the sun in the sky was shining red, illuminating everything on the earth to be so alive.

Xu Xiaomi stretched and sat up, Cui Tao had already brought the washing water, wrung out the towel and let Xu Xiaomi wash his face casually.

well!It's really uncomfortable not being able to brush your teeth and wash your face properly in the wild, forget it, just let it go!Just wait until the capital.

Everyone simply ate something and started heading towards the capital.

Along the way, Qiu Yongzheng did not relax his training. He sat on the chariot with Xu Xiaomi for two days, and then he was going to ride a horse by himself.

Xu Xiaomi was afraid that his body would be unbearable, but he insisted, "Lady, don't worry, my body is mine. If I really can't take it anymore, I can get down and sit in the chariot by myself?"

Hearing what he said, Xu Xiaomi had no choice but to agree temporarily.

The brigade arrived at the gate of the capital city in the afternoon of the seventh day before closing the city gate.

The imperial guards guarding the city gate saw that the leaders were two eunuchs, and let them in without further investigation.

When the sending-off team arrived at the gate of the palace, the eunuch guarding the palace gate saw Lao Cai and Xiao Huanzi and rushed forward to salute.

Just after the salute, they were about to walk into the palace.I only heard a voice coming from the palace gate saying: "Arrest everyone and put them in prison!"

When Lao Cai heard this voice, he immediately said loudly: "The third concubine quickly take the third prince away!"

After speaking, before Xu Xiaomi and the others could react, the person who spoke had already rushed out from the dark.

I saw a eunuch in his 40s wearing official uniforms like Lao Cai and the others, stabbing Lao Cai's throat with a long sword in his hand.

Seeing that the shining long sword was about to pierce Lao Cai's throat, Qiu Yongzheng let out a long howl, and rushed towards Lao Cai from the big flower chariot.

Xu Xiaomi was so scared that she broke into a cold sweat, but when she wanted to call Qiu Yongzheng to stop.All I saw was that Qiu Yongzheng pulled Lao Cai's body and rolled to the edge of the palace wall.

Seeing that the eunuch with the sword missed, he turned his sword and stabbed at Xiao Huanzi who had been foolishly frightened.

In desperation, Xu Xiaomi pulled out a pure gold bracelet from her wrist, threw it and hit the sword that was stabbing Xiao Huanzi.

There was a "dang" sound, and the sword in the eunuch's hand was smashed to the ground.

He just felt that his arm was so numb that he couldn't feel it.

At this moment, Qiu Yongzheng got up from the top, rushed to pick up the long sword on the ground, and pierced the heart of the murderous eunuch with one stroke.

At this time, Lao Cai, who had been surrounded by the palace for a long time, pulled Xiao Huanzi who had been standing there in a daze, and was about to run out.

Qiu Yongzheng said loudly: "Old Cai! Why are you running? Lead the way! If someone dares to stop you today, I will kill people and kill Buddhas! Let's go!"

At this time, just like Xiao Huanzi, the eunuch guarding the gate of the palace who was stunned by fright reacted.

When he was about to call for someone to come, he was so frightened by Xu Xiaomi's look that he didn't dare to make a sound, so he opened his mouth and looked at them.

Xu Xiaomi got off the chariot, picked up the gold bracelet she had thrown out, put it near her mouth and blew it, only to hear the bracelet humming.

Xu Xiaomi wiped the dust on it with his hands, and asked casually: "Say! What happened in the palace? Why did you stop the third prince from entering the palace?"

The eunuch looked at Xu Xiaomi and felt that he had known him before, but he didn't know where he had met him.

He stammered hurriedly and said: "Gong-li, the emperor-shang, sick...sick-serious-Zhang-cheng-xiang-said...said-this...a-three... ...Third-emperor son, it's...it's-false, people-people-get...get-and punish it!"
