According to the etiquette of the Great Xia Dynasty, it is inconvenient for the bride to talk to outsiders after covering her head, and it is even more taboo to take off her head to identify it.The two matchmakers were still drunk, so in order not to affect the reputation of their own ice mansion, they didn't dare to stay in the room and make trouble.The two of them ran out of the house with their confused heads in their arms and whispered for a long time. Suddenly, Matchmaker Zhang patted her head and whispered to Matchmaker Li: "I remember, didn't the second lady of the Ling family say goodbye on purpose before she got married?" Do you have a knife in your waist? Let's go in and see if any bride has a knife in her waist, it must be Miss Ling."

Matchmaker Li squinted her eyes for joy, "Mrs. Zhang, Mrs. Zhang, you're really smart once!"

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Mrs. Zhang patted Matchmaker Li on the back, causing the latter to choke on his saliva and cough repeatedly.

The two matchmakers who thought of the way to distinguish immediately turned around and entered the room, pointed at Ling Qiufan's waist and smiled at each other, and pointed at Ling Xueji's empty waist and smiled at each other again.The bride who was in charge of seeing off the bride and the four maids who were in charge of grooming and dressing up the bride saw the two matchmakers together, and they didn't know what they were planning, so they secretly covered their purses.

After exchanging eyebrows for a long time, they finally helped the brides whom they recognized into the sedan chairs of their respective send-off teams. After checking the number of teams, they were ready to start again.

The lion dance opened the way, and the sedan chairs were slammed. The mighty team set off from Mingyue Bay and headed all the way to the gate of Jinling City.

Chapter 9 Marriage of a Thousand Miles

Great Xia, Jinling City

Today’s Jinling City is very different from the past. The gates of the city, which used to come and go frequently and never keep people, are surrounded by a large circle of people. From early morning to noon, the number of people has not decreased, but has increased several times. .The guards guarding the city had no choice but to abandon the main entrance, and opened a side gate for the entry and exit of traders, medical apprentices, visiting relatives and other people.

"This side door only allows one person to come in and out at a time, it's too time-consuming! I've been queuing up for almost an hour, how can it be so troublesome on weekdays. Why don't you let the people blocking the main door give way?" There was a challenge. The small peddler with a burden looked around the most crowded place as he walked, and complained to the familiar city guard during the body search.

The city guard was acquainted with the little peddler, and after confirming that the peddler was not carrying any dangerous and prohibited items, he replied: "A high-ranking official gets married, doesn't it have to be such a pomp."

"Shouldn't high-ranking officials marry in their own mansion? Why did they choose to welcome their relatives at the gate of the city?" The little shopkeeper was puzzled, thinking that almost all the people at the gate of the city had gone to watch the excitement, and he couldn't sell a few things when he entered the city.He simply chose an unobtrusive place to put down the burden of goods and talk to the city guard.

"This time, the marriage was bestowed by the Holy Majesty. The bride is from Wu County in the south of the Yangtze River. In order to show the importance they attach to this marriage, the two adults personally came to the gate of the city to welcome the bride." The shopkeeper said while pointing to him, "The one wearing the crown is Mr. Qu Quanqu, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment."

The little shopkeeper looked in the direction pointed by the city guard, and saw that the welcoming team was divided into two teams, one of which stood at the front of the wedding team on a white horse, on which sat a woman in an auspicious costume, with her head on her head. Wearing a jade crane crown and wiping the forehead with Erle gold, it looks like a jade orchid.Although it was a wedding today, but as a woman, Master Shangshu also put on a little makeup and rouge on her lips, and she showed a three-point smile and looked as warm and beautiful as the flowers of dawn.The little peddler looked at it with blinking eyes, then turned his head and asked Cheng Wei his question, "On the day of great joy, why is Master Shang Shu smiling like a smirk?"

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Cheng Wei turned his head and reprimanded him symbolically, and continued to introduce him, "The one with the braids is General Wei Yue Yanwei who just came back from the Yumen Pass victory."

The little shopkeeper looked in the direction pointed by the city guard again, and saw a few soldiers guarding the front of the welcoming team. A black horse was standing in front of the soldiers, and a woman in an auspicious costume was also sitting on it. A head of black and shiny black silk was tied high with a tiger head gold ring, and only a pinch fell on the forehead, adding a three-point evil to a gorgeous face.The eyebrows are trimmed and lightly swept, and the vermilion lips are full of redness. If it weren't for the heroic spirit who came here, it would be regarded as a newlywed.The little peddler continued to blink his big eyes, then turned to Cheng Wei and told the city guard how he felt when he saw General Wei for the first time, "Wow, your face is blacker than a pot of carbon."

Cheng Wei: "...you can shut up."

At the gate of Jinling City, Master Qu, who was not smiling, said, "I arrived at Mingyue Bay last night, so I should arrive at Jinling at noon today. Could it be that something happened on the way?"

General Wei, whose face was getting darker and darker, suddenly raised the corners of his mouth, "From Mingyue Bay to Jinling, you must pass through Yueya Mountain. The road on Yueya Mountain is dangerous and slippery. It is especially suitable for Mr. Qu who is eager to marry a wife to go in person to show his sincerity."

Hearing this, Qu Quan immediately put on an expression that listened to Jun's words better than reading ten years of books, and bowed his hands to Wei Yueyan, "General Wei is really hardworking. He even researched the route of sending off relatives thoroughly in order to marry the bride. Officials feel ashamed, admire, admire."

Wei Yueyan's long eyes narrowed slightly, a lock of hair hanging down to the side of his cheek, "How dare the final general compare with Mr. Qu, Mr. Qu is usually busy with correcting unjust, false and wrong cases and upholding justice. .Today, at the risk of being thrown to the ground by a horse and sweeping away your face, riding a horse to greet the bride is really respectable, respectable."
