Biganchun
Chapter 38
On June [-]th, the earth is moist and the heat is hot, Guiwei wood, Ji Xiayue, Gengchen Jinkui harvest day.Sui Shannan, Long Ri rushed to the dog.It is suitable for offering sacrifices, asking for money, accepting gifts, and making alliances.
In front of the gate of Yan Mansion, the decorations have already been renewed, and the atmosphere is full of joy.All the gates of the mansion are decorated with auspicious posts, the corners of the eaves and corridors are flying, and concentric necklaces of silver silk and jade pendants hang down everywhere.The servants are like a cloud, coming in and out in an orderly manner, busy.Although it is only the fourth lady's engagement, and it is not the day of the wedding, both in-laws are high-ranking and distinguished households, and the family of Zhongming Dingshi, the etiquette must be thoughtful, and everything must not be sloppy.
A maidservant with a hanging bun hugged a jade bottle with two ears, and walked into the ceremony hall cautiously.The jade vase was full of clear water, and two red lotuses that had just been picked were inserted. The double flowers were juxtaposed, still with morning dew like beads.Yan Sheng was looking around in the hall, when he saw her coming in, he raised his brows, took half a step forward, and called her to stop: "Wen Yuan, how are the preparations for Fourth Miss?"
Wen Yuan congratulated Yan Sheng: "Boss, when I came here just now, Miss Fourth was still putting on her makeup. In addition to combing her hair and changing her clothes, it must take half an hour."
Yan Sheng frowned slightly: "The Wang family has just sent someone over to pass on the message. Mr. Wang and my uncle have already left the house and will be here soon. There are also many guests at the second gate, and the deacons are already busy entertaining guests. Don't be too busy here, put down this vase, and go back to Miss Fourth's side to help."
Swallow shadows are in pairs, a good day.Outside several courtyards, there are cool verandahs, hanging flowers and trees, covering an exquisite boudoir, a quiet world.
On the mirror dressing table, with black hair like a waterfall, Cuiqiao is standing behind Yan Rusi, combing her hair carefully.Her fingers are as slender as jade, and her hair is twirled with green silk, surrounded by strands of coral. Although there is no heavy gold and complicated decorations, it has its own clear and meaningful brilliance.
After combing, Cuiqiao turned around and picked a silk jubilation flower from the flowers sent by the maids early in the morning, put it in Yan Rusi's hair, and then took a round mirror and put it behind Yan Rusi, and said softly: "Miss, comb alright."
Looking at the front and rear mirrors of the flower, the flower surface complements each other.The color of the flower is soft and soft, as light as rouge after the rain, and the makeup is beautiful, but it can't hide the slight sadness under the pale skin.
Yan Rusi only glanced into his glasses, then turned his head away, turned around and saw that Qingcheng was still sleeping lightly in front of the desk, frowning, and gently pushed her shoulder: "You sleep here, be careful not to catch a cold. "
Qingcheng groaned, straightened up, raised her hand to caress between her brows, and asked, "What time is it?"
Cuiqiao stepped forward, handed a new cup of tea to Qingcheng, and replied with a smile: "My lord, it's past the first quarter of the hour."
Qingcheng took the tea, but just held the cup in his hand, muttering to himself: "Then Bai Yutang, I don't know what's going on now..."
Yan Rusi was startled: "Why, didn't you say that the incense you smoked on my sleeve last night can only hypnotize him and will never hurt him? Could it be..."
Seeing her worried face, Qingcheng smiled lightly and said, "Miss Fourth, please be safe and don't be impatient. That Rumeng Ling was passed down by my teacher for a hundred years. It has calm medicinal properties, but it will never hurt anyone. If it wasn't for you last night , I am not willing to use it on him..."
She rolled her eyes, thoughtfully: "Now that your uncle is about to speak, I advise you to calm down and think about today's engagement ceremony, how do you advance and retreat?"
Yan Rusi's eyes dimmed, and he didn't realize that Qingcheng's words seemed to mean something else.She was silent for a while, then stood up, and saw that Cuiqiao was holding a neatly folded light crimson double-breasted embroidered dress, embroidered with lotus flowers on it, the texture was brilliant, like fireworks clustered in snow, magnificent and amazing, it was just The servants of the Yan family's weaving and dyeing workshop worked hard for more than [-] days and nights to prepare the wedding dress just for her.
Embroidered clothes are worth thousands of gold, but for whom?
Youth is fleeting, but for whom?
She sighed deeply in her heart, and closed her eyelids, the pair of eager eyes from last night seemed to be still in front of her eyes.
But Qingcheng's voice came from next to my ear: "Miss Si, please change quickly, I've been busy all night, I'm afraid I have to go back to Suzaku Lane first."
Yan Rusi wondered, "Why, do you want to go?"
Qingcheng said: "In front of the hall today, there must be all distinguished guests from the court. I have never met them before, even if I went, it would be meaningless."
Cuiqiao pursed her lips and said with a smile: "Princess, although most of Fengyitang's staff are important officials from the two governments, there are also people you know well. Just now Wen Yuan came to answer, and Mr. Zhan arrived early in the morning."
Qingcheng was startled, his face changed slightly: "Why... is he here too?"
Seeing her like this, Yan Rusi smiled faintly: "Lord Zhan came to watch the ceremony in the name of Lord Bao...Why, do you want to use the rouge from my dowry? You have not slept all night, and you will inevitably be haggard. Master Zhan saw you, I'm afraid I have to worry about you again."
With Yan Rusi's intelligence and sensitivity, although Qingcheng never mentioned the various things between Qingcheng and Zhan Zhao, he still saw some clues.
Embarrassed, Qingcheng lowered her eyebrows and remained silent.Yan Rusi smiled at her, and went into the bedroom with Cuiqiao to change clothes.
After raising his eyes and seeing Yan Rusi's back turning into the screen, Qingcheng shook his head slightly, and murmured: "If he is here, this engagement ceremony will be more exciting and lively... I am afraid that what I want to borrow is not the rouge, but the rouge." It's luck..."
In the Fengyi Hall, the second courtyard of the Yan Mansion, the guests were full and the crowns gathered.Although the master's family is a high-ranking minister, it has a noble style, which is different from ordinary rich and noble families.The layout of this Fengyi hall is quite ancient and refined. At the top of the hall is a table with frozen graphite and green stripes. Behind the long table is a picture of Fengyi. It is fifteen feet long and seven feet wide. The iron wires are like hooks, elegant and calm. People with knowledge can tell at a glance that it is Yan Liben's handwriting in the early Tang Dynasty.Yan Liben has always called "Dan Qing deified", and there are very few authentic works left in the world. This picture can be called a rare treasure.
On the camphor chair on the right hand of the long table, sits today's master, Yan Rusi's father Yan Shu.Yan Shu is 49 years old this year, and he is an official residence, counselor, political affairs and minister Zuo Cheng.He entered the examination as a child prodigy at the age of 14, and he was born as a Jinshi. The prime minister and poet.
At this moment, he was wearing a purple robe, and he was full of dignity, looking around at the guests, thinking that he was nearly a hundred and a half years old, and finally seeing his little girl so married, he felt quite relieved.He lightly stroked his beard under his chin, and said with a smile to the opposite side of the case: "Brother Huiwen, such a happy occasion should be remembered with a good article. Today, after returning from the ceremony, I must ask for a poem by Jing Yi and Rusi. What do you think?" ?”
The person sitting opposite Yan Shu is his future in-law, Deputy Privy Envoy Wang Bowen.Wang Bowen was born in Jiyin, Caozhou, and his style name was Zhongming. When he was 16 years old, he went to Tokyo for the Jinshi Examination and presented it to the examiner with a hundred palindromic poems as the paper.Palindromic poems can be made into poems by reciting them both forward and backward, and the antithesis rhymes, which is extremely complicated and difficult, so it is unprecedented.Wang Bowen became famous in one fell swoop, and has been nicknamed "Wang Huiwen" ever since.Decades later, at this moment, Yan Shu joked about Wang Bowen's astonishing actions back then, which still made him quite useful.
Wang Bowen shook his robe sleeves, and said to Yan Shu with a smile: "Uncle Tong, with such a long family history, I'm afraid Jing Yi will pale in comparison..."
He nodded slightly to Wang Zhaochen who was standing beside him: "Jing Yi, you have been a priest of Taichang Temple all these years, why are you still so ignorant of etiquette? You don't have to wait here, go down and greet the guests first. "
Wang Zhaochen hurriedly bowed to Wang Bowen and Yan Shu, raised his sleeves and walked down the hall, greeting the guests one by one.When the guests saw him coming, they all stood up and greeted him with smiles.
"...My lord Wang, the flowers are perfect and the moon is full, a perfect couple is born..."
"...Second Young Master, everyone has waited so long for this marriage, it can be called a long-term success... This time, Mr. Wang finally got what he wanted, congratulations..."
"...Nephew Jing Yi, congratulations, you will have a bright future if you become a son-in-law who loves each other..."
"...Brother Bowen, we are engaged today, but I don't know when the marriage ceremony will be scheduled..."
The hall was full of laughter and voices were noisy, but there was a clear and handsome figure, standing outside the crowd, at first glance, it seemed a little desolate and lonely.Yan Sheng walked up to him lightly, and said respectfully, "Master Zhan, my Prime Minister invites you to come over and have a few words to say."
Zhan Zhao smiled calmly, got up and left the table, walked to Yan Shu's seat in front of the hall, saluted Yan Shu with a smile, "Congratulations to Mr. Zhan!"
Yan Shu stood up and said with a smile, "Why should Xiong Fei be so polite? Mr. Bao said earlier that today is really busy. You can come to watch the ceremony on behalf of Mr. Bao. It's the same."
Zhan Zhao glanced aside the long case, saw Wang Bowen chatting with a guest, sighed softly, and said in a low voice: "Of course, Mr. Bao knows that Mr. Bao is busy with the case of Jinming Village in Yanzhou these days, and he really can't get away with it." Get out."
Yan Shu nodded, and lowered his voice: "Fortunately, the case has finally come to light. Mr. Iron Wall is innocent, and it is clear to the world."
Since Yuanhao became the ruler in Xingqing Mansion in October of the first year of Baoyuan, he has been coveting Yanzhou.The first place to attack Yanzhou is the Jinming Village in the northwest of Yanzhou City.Li Shibin, the guard of Jinmingzhai, was originally the leader of the local party clan. He has guarded Jinmingzhai for three generations.There are nearly [-] sturdy Qiang soldiers under his command in the Jinming eighteen villages, and he is known as the "Iron Wall Master".In order to avoid his attack, Yuan Hao sent people to Jinmingzhai to promise Li Shibin a high official and generous salary, hoping to persuade him to surrender, but unexpectedly, Li Shibin beheaded him.Yuan Hao was furious, and came up with a plan to send someone to leave a letter about Li Shibin's betrayal of Song Toxia and a pair of brocade robes and gold belts at the border.The letter and the brocade robe and gold belt were picked up by the defenders of the Great Song Dynasty, and delivered to Xia Sui, the deputy capital of Yan Yan, who was immediately transferred to the palace.Zhao Zhenfang settled the case of Zhao Jue, but unexpectedly encountered this thorny problem again.Knowing that the case is of great importance, he ordered it to be handed over to Kaifeng Mansion for secret trial.Bao Zheng led all the people in Kaifeng Mansion to investigate the cause of the case and examine the evidence in detail overnight, and finally verified that the case was indeed Xixia's rebellion.Relieved in his heart, Zhao Zhen ordered Xia Sui to reward Li Shibin with gold, silver, pearls and silk as a token of encouragement.
Although the case is closed, the various signs of Xixia's use of troops in the outskirts of Yanzhou are still the confidant of the Song Dynasty.Thinking about this, even though Yan Shu and Zhan Zhao are in the happy hall, they are both secretly worried.
At this time, I saw Chen Zhizhong, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, approaching, as if he wanted to talk to Yan Shu.Zhan Zhao hastily saluted Yan Shu respectfully and retreated from the hall.Fang returned to his original seat and sat down, only to hear someone behind him chuckle softly: "Kaifeng Mansion is busy with many affairs, yet Mr. Bao is willing to give you half a day free to come here to watch the ceremony. It seems that Prime Minister Yan really has a lot of face."
The voice was very familiar, although Zhan Zhao was surprised, he felt relieved. Although he was still in the hall of Xiangfu, he seemed to have unknowingly lost three points of restraint.Without looking back, he directly raised his hands to fill up the two wine glasses in front of him, and said with a smile, "Zhan is just bowing to the feast, but the princess also came to join in the fun. It's really surprising."
While speaking, Qingcheng sat down beside Zhan Zhao.Seeing Zhan Zhao pushing a wine glass in front of her with a smile, she shook her head, the corners of her lips slightly raised, leaning against the table with her left hand on her cheek.There are several rare and rare fruits on the table, one of which is a white jade glazed square bowl, filled with crystal honey sunburned red plums, as shiny as agate.Qingcheng raised his right hand, and slowly fiddled with the candied fruit in the bowl with his slender fingers, his eyes wandered, thinking.
She lived in seclusion in Zhuque Lane, and rarely saw outsiders.At this moment, some guests saw this strange girl with a gorgeous appearance, sitting at the same table with Zhan Zhao, as if they were close, they couldn't help but ask each other.
Qingcheng turned his eyes to the front of the hall, and saw Wang Zhaochen coming and going to greet him, his face was full of spring breeze, which was completely different from the situation that day when he confronted Bai Yutang on the street because of the old beggar, and recalled that Aman had mentioned all kinds of rumors in the market, and sighed softly: "This Although Wang Zhaochen came from a wealthy family, he was cold-hearted by nature and had no compassion for others. There were many concubines in his mansion, but he still walked around the stage and played songs every night... I really don't understand why Yan Xiangye put Rusi's sister's Entrust him for life?"
Zhan Zhao frowned slightly: "The family is right, the matchmaker's words have been like this since ancient times. I advise you to talk less about the family affairs of Prime Minister Yan..."
Qingcheng squinted at him, raised his eyebrows lightly, and said with a sneer: "The right family? The one sitting on it is the famous Mr. Wang Bowen? How did he get the position of Deputy Privy Envoy? Is there anyone in the world who doesn't know? "
Everyone in the world knows that Wang Bo has been an official in the third division for more than 20 years, but he has done nothing and has not been promoted.At the beginning of this year, it coincided with one subject, and there were slightly more people who failed the ranking than in previous years.Many Confucian scholars have studied hard for many years. Once they failed the rankings, they were so angry that they wrote a doggerel, which said: "Tianzhang's homeland is three thousand miles away, and the bachelor has been in the palace for [-] years. There is a sound in the courtyard, and Long Tu's tears fall in front of the king. "
This doggerel was presented in front of Zhao Zhen, just as Wang Bowen was by his side.Hearing this poem, he burst into tears, knelt tremblingly, and cried to Zhao Zhen: "I will die when I am old, and I will no longer be able to see the gate of the two houses." Couldn't bear it, so he was promoted to deputy privy envoy.
After 20 years of wishing but not being able to get what I wanted, I don't know whether it was luck or absurdity.
Satisfied with his sudden promotion, Wang Bowen implored Yan Shu to hold an engagement ceremony for Wang Zhaochen and Yan Rusi as soon as possible.This marriage has been promised for many years, but it has been delayed until now because of the unhealed asthma.Yan Shu thought to himself that as he was getting older and the marriage was protracted, he was afraid of accidents, so he agreed.
Zhan Zhao saw Qingcheng's face full of sarcasm, and knew that she disdained what Wang Bowen did, but this place was definitely not the place to discuss this matter with her, so he shook his head and remained silent.
At this time, I suddenly heard Yan Shengyang's voice saying: "Miss Four is here!"
The Fengyi Hall suddenly fell silent, and all eyes turned to what Yan Sheng was facing.I saw Yan Rusi took Cuiqiao's hand, and slowly turned out from behind the screen on the left side of the hall.Her black hair was clouded, her crimson clothes hung down, her face was extremely calm, she was neither shy nor joyful, she quietly walked in front of Yan Sheng and Wang Bowen, and said with a smile on her face, "So I have seen Lord Wang and my father. "
Yan Shu and Wang Bowen looked at each other with a smile, and said to Yan Rusi: "So, you stand aside. After a while, I will exchange posts and make an alliance, and then I will greet all the guests."
Yan Rusi straightened up, turned around and saw Wang Zhaochen smiling at him.She lowered her eyebrows to avoid his gaze, and stood silently beside Yan Shu.
Seeing that everyone had already entered the table, Yan Sheng raised his voice and said, "Dear guests are here, and our mansion is full of splendor. The auspicious time has come, so I invite you to attend the ceremony and witness the alliance!"
Before the words fell, a person outside the hall said loudly: "Wait a minute!"
These three words were like throwing a stone into a lake, and the whole room was suddenly silent, only Qingcheng's eyes lit up, and he murmured: "It's finally here."
All the guests followed the prestige and saw a person standing outside the Fengyi Hall. He was dressed in white clothes, flying like dust, and his body was full of sharp brilliance, hidden under the unusual tranquility.
Yan Sheng knew that he was Bai Yutang, the fourth-rank guard with a sword in the Kaifeng Mansion. He knew that he was originally from the Jianghu. I was surprised in my heart when I spoke out and stopped the ceremony.Yan Sheng has always been alert. He has presided over the affairs of the Prime Minister's Mansion for many years, and responded very quickly. He smiled and said: "Master Bai, our manor has not entertained you well, so please be seated."
Bai Yutang smiled slightly: "No need. I didn't come here today to watch the ceremony."
Yan Sheng's complexion changed, before he could reply, Bai Yutang walked into the hall with his clothes in his sleeves carrying the wind.He passed by the Allurement Seat and glanced at her lightly, with one point of sullenness and nine points of gratitude in his eyes.Qingcheng smiled at him, both of them had a clear heart.
It turned out that when Qingcheng took Yan Rusi to see Bai Yutang last night, in order to help Yan Rusi escape, she smoked a stick of incense on Yan Rusi's sleeve.This misty fragrance is called like a dream order, and its medicinal properties are extremely strong, which can make people sleepy for half a day, but Qingcheng secretly reduced the amount by a quarter, so that Bai Yutang woke up around Si time, and he was able to arrive at Yan before the salute. government.
Bai Yutang walked to the front of the hall, and saw Yan Rusi standing in full dress, looking straight at him with surprise and worry on his face.He smiled at Yan Rusi and walked straight to Yan Shu.
Whether he and she are in this life or the next life depends on a single thought at this moment.
Under the surprised eyes of everyone, Bai Yutang knelt down in front of Yan Shu, raised his head and said loudly: "Bai Yutang has something to ask, and I implore Prime Minister Yan to fulfill it."
Yan Shu stood up from the seat, both surprised and annoyed: "You... What are you trying to do?"
Bai Yutang's expression remained unchanged, and he said in a deep voice: "President Yan calm down, Bai Yutang came here to beg the Prime Minister to betroth the Fourth Miss to Bai as his wife."
As soon as this remark came out, the whole hall was in an uproar, and Yan Shu was so angry that his eyes turned black and his body was shaking, Yan Sheng hurried forward to help him.
Seeing this, Wang's father and son were all angry from the bottom of their hearts.Wang Bowen considered his status, watched with cold eyes, and said nothing.But Wang Zhaochen stepped forward and shouted in person: "Bai Yutang! That day on the street, I let you three points, do you think my Wang family is easy to provoke? You came here today to disturb my engagement ceremony with Fourth Miss , but crazy?! If you intend to disrupt the situation, we will settle the two accounts together."
Bai Yutang stood up, looked at Wang Zhaochen twice, and said quietly: "You alone, do you want to marry such a man?"
Seeing his cold expression, Wang Zhaochen seemed to be extremely disdainful of himself, he was furious in his heart, and said with a sneer, "You are a martial artist with a low status, why should you beg the Prime Minister to marry Miss Fourth to you?"
Bai Yutang smiled faintly, and without answering, walked slowly in front of Yan Rusi, stretched out his palm, and placed it in front of her.
But within the palm of his hand, the two bead rings were shining brightly, shining together, and the stars reflected each other endlessly.
Returning the king and the twin pearls, the sky is long and the water is green, recalling the beginning.
Yan Rusi suddenly opened his eyes wide, his face full of disbelief, and said in a trembling voice: "It turns out that... you were the one who bought the other bead ring back then..."
Bai Yutang nodded slowly, stared at Yan Rusi, and laughed at himself: "I, Bai Yutang, pretended to be free and easy all my life, but I did one thing that was not free and easy..."
How many times do you think about the old things, and you can't help but think to yourself, he and she are completely different people, but at that moment he fell in love with her?Is this the first time we met in Wengang Township?Is it reunion in Chonglu Mountain?Or the moment when Peng Li followed her and bought that bead ring in that small pawn shop?
This feeling can be regarded as a memory, but fortunately, he and her have not been completely missed.
Tears were streaming down Yan Rusi's face.The tears seemed to flow from the bottom of my heart, endless.Love is like a dream, and the heart is like a demon. It is hard to tell whether it is fate or evil.
In a trance, he only felt that the pair of tossing and reuniting bead rings had been worn on his ears by him.The oath that he has never forgotten since he was a child has been deeply uttered by him again——
"If you ask what you want in this life, I will be with Qing Baishou Twin Stars."
When Yan Shu heard Bai Yutang utter the words that he and Mrs. Cui made love to each other more than [-] years ago in public, his heart was shocked, and he said in a trembling voice, "You... how would you know..."
Bai Yutang turned around to look at Yan Shu, and said slowly: "Master, when you and Mrs. Cui failed to fulfill your wish at Luoxing Lake in Lingyun Mountain, I would like to make an alliance with you. I, Bai Yutang, will be like this for the rest of my life." , never lose each other!"
Yan Shu's body seemed to be struck by lightning, and he stood there dumbfounded, unable to speak any more.
Seeing this situation, Wang Zhaochen felt that the anger in his whole body was hard to contain. He saw a seven-star dagger originally used for ceremonies and alliances on the table beside him. With a flick of his sleeve, the dagger was pulled out of the scabbard He hissed, "Bai Yutang, you...you're deceiving people too much!"
Bai Yutang turned around suddenly, and saw Wang Zhaochen's eyes were about to burst, and the veins in his neck were bulging. Knowing that he really couldn't bear what happened today, he couldn't help but feel a little apologetic in his heart: "Okay, today I count my Bai Yutang's incompetence, you treat me badly. If I strike, I will never dodge. I have received your sword, and I will never owe you anything from now on!"
Wang Zhaochen knew Bai Yutang's abilities all along, although he himself had some martial arts skills, he was definitely no match for him.But in front of a full house of guests, if he endured the humiliation of taking his wife away, it would be difficult to gain a foothold in front of others.Hearing Bai Yutang's words now, he gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, you're just asking for it!"
While drinking, he rubbed his body forward and stabbed Bai Yutang's chest with a sword.This move was extremely quick, Zhan Zhao and Qing Cheng were in the hall, separated by many guests, they were too late to help each other.Bai Yutang saw that the sword was pointing at the deadly point, he smiled wryly in his heart, but he still straightened his body and went to meet the sword's edge.
The cold light was cold, seeing that it was about to pierce Bai Yutang's chest, but with a flash of scarlet clothes, Yan Rusi had already blocked Bai Yutang's body, Wang Zhaochen was too late to stop, and with a pounce of the short sword, it penetrated deeply into Yan Rusi's chest. Si shoulder fossa.
Both Wang Zhaochen and Bai Yutang turned pale with shock, Bai Yutang shouted angrily, and pushed out his palm, hitting Wang Zhaochen's shoulder.Wang Zhaochen let out a cry of surprise, flew nine feet away, and fell to the ground. The dagger in his hand fell with a loud sound, drawing a streak of dark red blood on the ground.
Bai Yutang hugged Yan Rusi's body tightly, and slowly sat down on the ground.Blood gushed out of Yan Rusi's shoulders, and through the embroidered clothes, it was like a plum rain, staining the entire front of Bai Yutang.She clenched her cherry lips, endured the pain, leaned against Bai Yutang's arms, looked at Wang Zhaochen, and said intermittently, "You...you don't want to hurt him..."
Wang Zhaochen had just seen Yan Rusi's expression towards Bai Yutang, and he already suspected that she had an old relationship with Bai Yutang. Now seeing her sacrifice her life to save her, there is no doubt about the inside story.Although he didn't have any real feelings for him, he felt that it was a shame in this life for Wen Ding's wife to have an affair with someone else, and the slap from Bai Yutang just now was really serious, so he couldn't bear it anymore and let out a wow He spat out a mouthful of blood and passed out.Wang Bowen exclaimed, and hurried over to see how Aiko's injury was.
There was a sudden change, blood splashed on Huayi, and the Fengyi Hall suddenly became chaotic.Zhan Zhao and Qing Cheng flew to Yan Rusi's side together, and saw that Bai Yutang had already touched several acupoints around Yan Rusi's wound, but still couldn't stop the bleeding.Qingcheng hurriedly took out the wound medicine she was carrying with her from her bosom, gently pushed aside the embroidered clothes on the wound, applied the wound medicine to the wound, and tied it tightly with a ribbon.
At this time, everyone in the Yan Mansion had already surrounded Bai Yutang and Yan Rusi.Yan Shu saw that Qingcheng was proficient in healing techniques. Although the injury was serious, it seemed that his life was not in danger for the time being. His heart eased, and he immediately shouted: "Come on, take Bai Yutang down!"
But in a short while, twenty or thirty guards from the Prime Minister's Mansion poured into the auditorium, passing through Qingcheng and Zhan Zhao, surrounding Bai Yutang and Yan Rusi.
Yan Rusi's wound was in severe pain, and cold sweat was running down his forehead. When he suddenly saw his father ordering Bai Yutang to be arrested, he was startled. He raised his hand and grabbed Bai Yutang's shirt on his chest, and said anxiously, "You... hurry..."
Bai Yutang looked up at the situation around him, lowered his eyebrows and smiled at Yan Rusi: "Don't worry... if you want to leave, let's go together!"
He had wrapped his hands around Yan Rusi's waist, but at this moment he swung out the sleeve of his right hand suddenly, with force everywhere, making a semicircle.The guards surrounding him felt the strong wind blowing towards them, and they all took half a step back in panic.In that instant, Bai Yutang had picked up Yan Rusi in his arms, fluttered across the wall of people, and headed straight for the outside of the hall.
Zhan Zhao never expected Bai Yutang to do this, seeing Bai Yutang and Yan Rusi flying past him, he was startled, jumped up, and slapped Bai Yutang's back, trying to force him Turning around to parry, slowing down, but suddenly saw the beautiful figure in front of him erratic, Qingcheng was already obliquely blocking in front of him, preventing him from palming the wind to castrate.
Bai Yutang heard the movement of his clothes behind him, he lowered his body slightly, looked back at Qingcheng, and said with a faint smile, "Girl, thank you in the future!" Then he hugged Yan Rusi, swept lightly, and jumped out. Outside the hall, after only two or three jumps, they have jumped out of the palace wall and disappeared.The guards in the mansion have never seen such a situation, they are all stunned, how can they catch up?
Zhan Zhao was so anxious that he took a step forward, but seeing Qingcheng refused to give an inch, he was still standing in front of him, and said anxiously: "Qingcheng, get out of the way, this is not the time to be willful!"
However, Qingcheng raised his sleeves, and there was a half-smile on his lips: "I want to be willful, how about it?"
Zhan Zhao stomped heavily: "You...what exactly do you want?"
Qingcheng raised his eyes and looked into Zhan Zhao's eyes: "What I want is to see lovers get married! What happened just now, are you turning a blind eye?"
Zhan Zhao didn't know about Bai Yutang and Yan Rusi's past relationship at first, but he already knew in his heart that something happened just now.He silently sighed, but still said in a deep voice: "You only want lovers to get married, but you don't know that Bai Yutang took Miss Fourth away. This disaster will inevitably involve many innocent people."
Seeing that his position remained the same, Qingcheng felt lost in her heart, and said lightly: "If it comes to this disaster, I am also responsible. If anyone is implicated by this, I am willing to bear it for them."
Zhan Zhao shook his head and sighed, "I'm afraid you won't be able to bear it in the end... You are smart in everything, why are you so confused today?"
Qingcheng's pupils dimmed suddenly, she lowered her head, and smiled sadly: "Perhaps in this life, one will always do one or two foolish things..."
This sentence touched Zhan Zhao's heart, he sighed heavily, knowing that Bai Yutang had gone far away at this time, he turned around and walked back to Yan Shu, bowed and said, "Mr. Yan, Zhan is going back to Kaifeng Mansion right now Arranging arrangements, we will definitely find Miss Fourth as soon as possible, and send her back to the mansion safely."
When Yan Shu saw that he was kidnapped by Bai Yutang at the wedding ceremony, he was so shocked that he couldn't believe it.Now hearing Zhan Zhao's words, he said angrily: "Bai Yutang is a guard under the Kaifeng Mansion, now in broad daylight, trespassing into the auditorium of the Prime Minister's Mansion, abducting my daughter and hurting my son-in-law, this is tolerable, what is unbearable! Xiang will enter the palace to face the Holy Spirit, please the Holy One to deal with this matter! If Mr. Bao can't give the truth an explanation, his Kaifeng Mansion will never be able to get promoted to the Great Hall again!"
Seeing that Wang Zhaochen had been unconscious, Wang Bowen was furious. Hearing Yan Shu's words, he stood up and said in a loud voice, "This old man will go to the palace with the Prime Minister." Now you go to the Privy Council and let Master Lin lead the forbidden army to conduct a thorough search of all parts of the city, and at the same time strictly guard the gates of the city, strictly checking those who enter and exit! By the way, where is Bai Yutang's hometown?"
The servant murmured: "My lord, I heard that he is a man from Jianghu, alone, only a few sworn brothers live in Lujiazhuang, an empty island in Songjiang Prefecture."
Wang Bowen said angrily: "Then what are you waiting for, Lord Lin please send an urgent document to the Songjiang Mansion, ordering the Songjiang Mansion to mobilize troops and horses, quickly arrest those people, and escort them to Tokyo!"
Before the servant bowed his head to take orders, Zhan Zhao said in a deep voice: "My lords, please slow down. This matter is related to the prestige of the two governments, so we must handle it carefully. Where do you go, please think twice, my lords!"
Both Yan Shu and Wang Bowen's heart skipped a beat.What happened today is really embarrassing.Although there are so many guests, it is inevitable that leaks will be leaked to the outside world, but if there is a big fanfare and a follow-up questioning, it will probably be even more rumors and insult the reputation of the family.
Seeing that the two of them were silent, Zhan Zhao felt a little relieved, and said loudly: "If the two adults trust Zhan, I will give Zhan a three-day deadline. Within three days, Zhan will definitely send the fourth lady back safely. Fuchu!"
Yan Shu and Wang Bowen looked at each other, both unable to make up their minds.After a long time, Yan Shu sighed, "Okay, Zhan Zhao, based on our usual friendship, I'll trust you for once. Bowen, what do you think?"
Wang Bowen's hatred was not resolved, but he was not willing to disobey Yan Shu's decision, so he said: "Let's follow Xiangye's method. Three days are too long, and the old man will only give you six hours! Tonight, if you can't hand over the white jade Miss Tang and Fourth, this matter will be taken over by the Imperial Army, and your Kaifeng Mansion will not be involved in it anymore!"
Zhan Zhao frowned and wanted to argue, but Yan Shu flicked his sleeves and turned around: "That's it, you go!"
Now that the matter has come to this point, Zhan Zhao knew there was nothing he could do, so he saluted Yan Shu and Wang Bowen, turned around and walked out of Fengyi Hall quickly.
Outside the Huatang, the light is strong, and the flowers and willows are in the air, and the wind is full of the pavilion.The light blue figure that was standing quietly at first had disappeared without a trace.
The author has something to say:
In front of the gate of Yan Mansion, the decorations have already been renewed, and the atmosphere is full of joy.All the gates of the mansion are decorated with auspicious posts, the corners of the eaves and corridors are flying, and concentric necklaces of silver silk and jade pendants hang down everywhere.The servants are like a cloud, coming in and out in an orderly manner, busy.Although it is only the fourth lady's engagement, and it is not the day of the wedding, both in-laws are high-ranking and distinguished households, and the family of Zhongming Dingshi, the etiquette must be thoughtful, and everything must not be sloppy.
A maidservant with a hanging bun hugged a jade bottle with two ears, and walked into the ceremony hall cautiously.The jade vase was full of clear water, and two red lotuses that had just been picked were inserted. The double flowers were juxtaposed, still with morning dew like beads.Yan Sheng was looking around in the hall, when he saw her coming in, he raised his brows, took half a step forward, and called her to stop: "Wen Yuan, how are the preparations for Fourth Miss?"
Wen Yuan congratulated Yan Sheng: "Boss, when I came here just now, Miss Fourth was still putting on her makeup. In addition to combing her hair and changing her clothes, it must take half an hour."
Yan Sheng frowned slightly: "The Wang family has just sent someone over to pass on the message. Mr. Wang and my uncle have already left the house and will be here soon. There are also many guests at the second gate, and the deacons are already busy entertaining guests. Don't be too busy here, put down this vase, and go back to Miss Fourth's side to help."
Swallow shadows are in pairs, a good day.Outside several courtyards, there are cool verandahs, hanging flowers and trees, covering an exquisite boudoir, a quiet world.
On the mirror dressing table, with black hair like a waterfall, Cuiqiao is standing behind Yan Rusi, combing her hair carefully.Her fingers are as slender as jade, and her hair is twirled with green silk, surrounded by strands of coral. Although there is no heavy gold and complicated decorations, it has its own clear and meaningful brilliance.
After combing, Cuiqiao turned around and picked a silk jubilation flower from the flowers sent by the maids early in the morning, put it in Yan Rusi's hair, and then took a round mirror and put it behind Yan Rusi, and said softly: "Miss, comb alright."
Looking at the front and rear mirrors of the flower, the flower surface complements each other.The color of the flower is soft and soft, as light as rouge after the rain, and the makeup is beautiful, but it can't hide the slight sadness under the pale skin.
Yan Rusi only glanced into his glasses, then turned his head away, turned around and saw that Qingcheng was still sleeping lightly in front of the desk, frowning, and gently pushed her shoulder: "You sleep here, be careful not to catch a cold. "
Qingcheng groaned, straightened up, raised her hand to caress between her brows, and asked, "What time is it?"
Cuiqiao stepped forward, handed a new cup of tea to Qingcheng, and replied with a smile: "My lord, it's past the first quarter of the hour."
Qingcheng took the tea, but just held the cup in his hand, muttering to himself: "Then Bai Yutang, I don't know what's going on now..."
Yan Rusi was startled: "Why, didn't you say that the incense you smoked on my sleeve last night can only hypnotize him and will never hurt him? Could it be..."
Seeing her worried face, Qingcheng smiled lightly and said, "Miss Fourth, please be safe and don't be impatient. That Rumeng Ling was passed down by my teacher for a hundred years. It has calm medicinal properties, but it will never hurt anyone. If it wasn't for you last night , I am not willing to use it on him..."
She rolled her eyes, thoughtfully: "Now that your uncle is about to speak, I advise you to calm down and think about today's engagement ceremony, how do you advance and retreat?"
Yan Rusi's eyes dimmed, and he didn't realize that Qingcheng's words seemed to mean something else.She was silent for a while, then stood up, and saw that Cuiqiao was holding a neatly folded light crimson double-breasted embroidered dress, embroidered with lotus flowers on it, the texture was brilliant, like fireworks clustered in snow, magnificent and amazing, it was just The servants of the Yan family's weaving and dyeing workshop worked hard for more than [-] days and nights to prepare the wedding dress just for her.
Embroidered clothes are worth thousands of gold, but for whom?
Youth is fleeting, but for whom?
She sighed deeply in her heart, and closed her eyelids, the pair of eager eyes from last night seemed to be still in front of her eyes.
But Qingcheng's voice came from next to my ear: "Miss Si, please change quickly, I've been busy all night, I'm afraid I have to go back to Suzaku Lane first."
Yan Rusi wondered, "Why, do you want to go?"
Qingcheng said: "In front of the hall today, there must be all distinguished guests from the court. I have never met them before, even if I went, it would be meaningless."
Cuiqiao pursed her lips and said with a smile: "Princess, although most of Fengyitang's staff are important officials from the two governments, there are also people you know well. Just now Wen Yuan came to answer, and Mr. Zhan arrived early in the morning."
Qingcheng was startled, his face changed slightly: "Why... is he here too?"
Seeing her like this, Yan Rusi smiled faintly: "Lord Zhan came to watch the ceremony in the name of Lord Bao...Why, do you want to use the rouge from my dowry? You have not slept all night, and you will inevitably be haggard. Master Zhan saw you, I'm afraid I have to worry about you again."
With Yan Rusi's intelligence and sensitivity, although Qingcheng never mentioned the various things between Qingcheng and Zhan Zhao, he still saw some clues.
Embarrassed, Qingcheng lowered her eyebrows and remained silent.Yan Rusi smiled at her, and went into the bedroom with Cuiqiao to change clothes.
After raising his eyes and seeing Yan Rusi's back turning into the screen, Qingcheng shook his head slightly, and murmured: "If he is here, this engagement ceremony will be more exciting and lively... I am afraid that what I want to borrow is not the rouge, but the rouge." It's luck..."
In the Fengyi Hall, the second courtyard of the Yan Mansion, the guests were full and the crowns gathered.Although the master's family is a high-ranking minister, it has a noble style, which is different from ordinary rich and noble families.The layout of this Fengyi hall is quite ancient and refined. At the top of the hall is a table with frozen graphite and green stripes. Behind the long table is a picture of Fengyi. It is fifteen feet long and seven feet wide. The iron wires are like hooks, elegant and calm. People with knowledge can tell at a glance that it is Yan Liben's handwriting in the early Tang Dynasty.Yan Liben has always called "Dan Qing deified", and there are very few authentic works left in the world. This picture can be called a rare treasure.
On the camphor chair on the right hand of the long table, sits today's master, Yan Rusi's father Yan Shu.Yan Shu is 49 years old this year, and he is an official residence, counselor, political affairs and minister Zuo Cheng.He entered the examination as a child prodigy at the age of 14, and he was born as a Jinshi. The prime minister and poet.
At this moment, he was wearing a purple robe, and he was full of dignity, looking around at the guests, thinking that he was nearly a hundred and a half years old, and finally seeing his little girl so married, he felt quite relieved.He lightly stroked his beard under his chin, and said with a smile to the opposite side of the case: "Brother Huiwen, such a happy occasion should be remembered with a good article. Today, after returning from the ceremony, I must ask for a poem by Jing Yi and Rusi. What do you think?" ?”
The person sitting opposite Yan Shu is his future in-law, Deputy Privy Envoy Wang Bowen.Wang Bowen was born in Jiyin, Caozhou, and his style name was Zhongming. When he was 16 years old, he went to Tokyo for the Jinshi Examination and presented it to the examiner with a hundred palindromic poems as the paper.Palindromic poems can be made into poems by reciting them both forward and backward, and the antithesis rhymes, which is extremely complicated and difficult, so it is unprecedented.Wang Bowen became famous in one fell swoop, and has been nicknamed "Wang Huiwen" ever since.Decades later, at this moment, Yan Shu joked about Wang Bowen's astonishing actions back then, which still made him quite useful.
Wang Bowen shook his robe sleeves, and said to Yan Shu with a smile: "Uncle Tong, with such a long family history, I'm afraid Jing Yi will pale in comparison..."
He nodded slightly to Wang Zhaochen who was standing beside him: "Jing Yi, you have been a priest of Taichang Temple all these years, why are you still so ignorant of etiquette? You don't have to wait here, go down and greet the guests first. "
Wang Zhaochen hurriedly bowed to Wang Bowen and Yan Shu, raised his sleeves and walked down the hall, greeting the guests one by one.When the guests saw him coming, they all stood up and greeted him with smiles.
"...My lord Wang, the flowers are perfect and the moon is full, a perfect couple is born..."
"...Second Young Master, everyone has waited so long for this marriage, it can be called a long-term success... This time, Mr. Wang finally got what he wanted, congratulations..."
"...Nephew Jing Yi, congratulations, you will have a bright future if you become a son-in-law who loves each other..."
"...Brother Bowen, we are engaged today, but I don't know when the marriage ceremony will be scheduled..."
The hall was full of laughter and voices were noisy, but there was a clear and handsome figure, standing outside the crowd, at first glance, it seemed a little desolate and lonely.Yan Sheng walked up to him lightly, and said respectfully, "Master Zhan, my Prime Minister invites you to come over and have a few words to say."
Zhan Zhao smiled calmly, got up and left the table, walked to Yan Shu's seat in front of the hall, saluted Yan Shu with a smile, "Congratulations to Mr. Zhan!"
Yan Shu stood up and said with a smile, "Why should Xiong Fei be so polite? Mr. Bao said earlier that today is really busy. You can come to watch the ceremony on behalf of Mr. Bao. It's the same."
Zhan Zhao glanced aside the long case, saw Wang Bowen chatting with a guest, sighed softly, and said in a low voice: "Of course, Mr. Bao knows that Mr. Bao is busy with the case of Jinming Village in Yanzhou these days, and he really can't get away with it." Get out."
Yan Shu nodded, and lowered his voice: "Fortunately, the case has finally come to light. Mr. Iron Wall is innocent, and it is clear to the world."
Since Yuanhao became the ruler in Xingqing Mansion in October of the first year of Baoyuan, he has been coveting Yanzhou.The first place to attack Yanzhou is the Jinming Village in the northwest of Yanzhou City.Li Shibin, the guard of Jinmingzhai, was originally the leader of the local party clan. He has guarded Jinmingzhai for three generations.There are nearly [-] sturdy Qiang soldiers under his command in the Jinming eighteen villages, and he is known as the "Iron Wall Master".In order to avoid his attack, Yuan Hao sent people to Jinmingzhai to promise Li Shibin a high official and generous salary, hoping to persuade him to surrender, but unexpectedly, Li Shibin beheaded him.Yuan Hao was furious, and came up with a plan to send someone to leave a letter about Li Shibin's betrayal of Song Toxia and a pair of brocade robes and gold belts at the border.The letter and the brocade robe and gold belt were picked up by the defenders of the Great Song Dynasty, and delivered to Xia Sui, the deputy capital of Yan Yan, who was immediately transferred to the palace.Zhao Zhenfang settled the case of Zhao Jue, but unexpectedly encountered this thorny problem again.Knowing that the case is of great importance, he ordered it to be handed over to Kaifeng Mansion for secret trial.Bao Zheng led all the people in Kaifeng Mansion to investigate the cause of the case and examine the evidence in detail overnight, and finally verified that the case was indeed Xixia's rebellion.Relieved in his heart, Zhao Zhen ordered Xia Sui to reward Li Shibin with gold, silver, pearls and silk as a token of encouragement.
Although the case is closed, the various signs of Xixia's use of troops in the outskirts of Yanzhou are still the confidant of the Song Dynasty.Thinking about this, even though Yan Shu and Zhan Zhao are in the happy hall, they are both secretly worried.
At this time, I saw Chen Zhizhong, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, approaching, as if he wanted to talk to Yan Shu.Zhan Zhao hastily saluted Yan Shu respectfully and retreated from the hall.Fang returned to his original seat and sat down, only to hear someone behind him chuckle softly: "Kaifeng Mansion is busy with many affairs, yet Mr. Bao is willing to give you half a day free to come here to watch the ceremony. It seems that Prime Minister Yan really has a lot of face."
The voice was very familiar, although Zhan Zhao was surprised, he felt relieved. Although he was still in the hall of Xiangfu, he seemed to have unknowingly lost three points of restraint.Without looking back, he directly raised his hands to fill up the two wine glasses in front of him, and said with a smile, "Zhan is just bowing to the feast, but the princess also came to join in the fun. It's really surprising."
While speaking, Qingcheng sat down beside Zhan Zhao.Seeing Zhan Zhao pushing a wine glass in front of her with a smile, she shook her head, the corners of her lips slightly raised, leaning against the table with her left hand on her cheek.There are several rare and rare fruits on the table, one of which is a white jade glazed square bowl, filled with crystal honey sunburned red plums, as shiny as agate.Qingcheng raised his right hand, and slowly fiddled with the candied fruit in the bowl with his slender fingers, his eyes wandered, thinking.
She lived in seclusion in Zhuque Lane, and rarely saw outsiders.At this moment, some guests saw this strange girl with a gorgeous appearance, sitting at the same table with Zhan Zhao, as if they were close, they couldn't help but ask each other.
Qingcheng turned his eyes to the front of the hall, and saw Wang Zhaochen coming and going to greet him, his face was full of spring breeze, which was completely different from the situation that day when he confronted Bai Yutang on the street because of the old beggar, and recalled that Aman had mentioned all kinds of rumors in the market, and sighed softly: "This Although Wang Zhaochen came from a wealthy family, he was cold-hearted by nature and had no compassion for others. There were many concubines in his mansion, but he still walked around the stage and played songs every night... I really don't understand why Yan Xiangye put Rusi's sister's Entrust him for life?"
Zhan Zhao frowned slightly: "The family is right, the matchmaker's words have been like this since ancient times. I advise you to talk less about the family affairs of Prime Minister Yan..."
Qingcheng squinted at him, raised his eyebrows lightly, and said with a sneer: "The right family? The one sitting on it is the famous Mr. Wang Bowen? How did he get the position of Deputy Privy Envoy? Is there anyone in the world who doesn't know? "
Everyone in the world knows that Wang Bo has been an official in the third division for more than 20 years, but he has done nothing and has not been promoted.At the beginning of this year, it coincided with one subject, and there were slightly more people who failed the ranking than in previous years.Many Confucian scholars have studied hard for many years. Once they failed the rankings, they were so angry that they wrote a doggerel, which said: "Tianzhang's homeland is three thousand miles away, and the bachelor has been in the palace for [-] years. There is a sound in the courtyard, and Long Tu's tears fall in front of the king. "
This doggerel was presented in front of Zhao Zhen, just as Wang Bowen was by his side.Hearing this poem, he burst into tears, knelt tremblingly, and cried to Zhao Zhen: "I will die when I am old, and I will no longer be able to see the gate of the two houses." Couldn't bear it, so he was promoted to deputy privy envoy.
After 20 years of wishing but not being able to get what I wanted, I don't know whether it was luck or absurdity.
Satisfied with his sudden promotion, Wang Bowen implored Yan Shu to hold an engagement ceremony for Wang Zhaochen and Yan Rusi as soon as possible.This marriage has been promised for many years, but it has been delayed until now because of the unhealed asthma.Yan Shu thought to himself that as he was getting older and the marriage was protracted, he was afraid of accidents, so he agreed.
Zhan Zhao saw Qingcheng's face full of sarcasm, and knew that she disdained what Wang Bowen did, but this place was definitely not the place to discuss this matter with her, so he shook his head and remained silent.
At this time, I suddenly heard Yan Shengyang's voice saying: "Miss Four is here!"
The Fengyi Hall suddenly fell silent, and all eyes turned to what Yan Sheng was facing.I saw Yan Rusi took Cuiqiao's hand, and slowly turned out from behind the screen on the left side of the hall.Her black hair was clouded, her crimson clothes hung down, her face was extremely calm, she was neither shy nor joyful, she quietly walked in front of Yan Sheng and Wang Bowen, and said with a smile on her face, "So I have seen Lord Wang and my father. "
Yan Shu and Wang Bowen looked at each other with a smile, and said to Yan Rusi: "So, you stand aside. After a while, I will exchange posts and make an alliance, and then I will greet all the guests."
Yan Rusi straightened up, turned around and saw Wang Zhaochen smiling at him.She lowered her eyebrows to avoid his gaze, and stood silently beside Yan Shu.
Seeing that everyone had already entered the table, Yan Sheng raised his voice and said, "Dear guests are here, and our mansion is full of splendor. The auspicious time has come, so I invite you to attend the ceremony and witness the alliance!"
Before the words fell, a person outside the hall said loudly: "Wait a minute!"
These three words were like throwing a stone into a lake, and the whole room was suddenly silent, only Qingcheng's eyes lit up, and he murmured: "It's finally here."
All the guests followed the prestige and saw a person standing outside the Fengyi Hall. He was dressed in white clothes, flying like dust, and his body was full of sharp brilliance, hidden under the unusual tranquility.
Yan Sheng knew that he was Bai Yutang, the fourth-rank guard with a sword in the Kaifeng Mansion. He knew that he was originally from the Jianghu. I was surprised in my heart when I spoke out and stopped the ceremony.Yan Sheng has always been alert. He has presided over the affairs of the Prime Minister's Mansion for many years, and responded very quickly. He smiled and said: "Master Bai, our manor has not entertained you well, so please be seated."
Bai Yutang smiled slightly: "No need. I didn't come here today to watch the ceremony."
Yan Sheng's complexion changed, before he could reply, Bai Yutang walked into the hall with his clothes in his sleeves carrying the wind.He passed by the Allurement Seat and glanced at her lightly, with one point of sullenness and nine points of gratitude in his eyes.Qingcheng smiled at him, both of them had a clear heart.
It turned out that when Qingcheng took Yan Rusi to see Bai Yutang last night, in order to help Yan Rusi escape, she smoked a stick of incense on Yan Rusi's sleeve.This misty fragrance is called like a dream order, and its medicinal properties are extremely strong, which can make people sleepy for half a day, but Qingcheng secretly reduced the amount by a quarter, so that Bai Yutang woke up around Si time, and he was able to arrive at Yan before the salute. government.
Bai Yutang walked to the front of the hall, and saw Yan Rusi standing in full dress, looking straight at him with surprise and worry on his face.He smiled at Yan Rusi and walked straight to Yan Shu.
Whether he and she are in this life or the next life depends on a single thought at this moment.
Under the surprised eyes of everyone, Bai Yutang knelt down in front of Yan Shu, raised his head and said loudly: "Bai Yutang has something to ask, and I implore Prime Minister Yan to fulfill it."
Yan Shu stood up from the seat, both surprised and annoyed: "You... What are you trying to do?"
Bai Yutang's expression remained unchanged, and he said in a deep voice: "President Yan calm down, Bai Yutang came here to beg the Prime Minister to betroth the Fourth Miss to Bai as his wife."
As soon as this remark came out, the whole hall was in an uproar, and Yan Shu was so angry that his eyes turned black and his body was shaking, Yan Sheng hurried forward to help him.
Seeing this, Wang's father and son were all angry from the bottom of their hearts.Wang Bowen considered his status, watched with cold eyes, and said nothing.But Wang Zhaochen stepped forward and shouted in person: "Bai Yutang! That day on the street, I let you three points, do you think my Wang family is easy to provoke? You came here today to disturb my engagement ceremony with Fourth Miss , but crazy?! If you intend to disrupt the situation, we will settle the two accounts together."
Bai Yutang stood up, looked at Wang Zhaochen twice, and said quietly: "You alone, do you want to marry such a man?"
Seeing his cold expression, Wang Zhaochen seemed to be extremely disdainful of himself, he was furious in his heart, and said with a sneer, "You are a martial artist with a low status, why should you beg the Prime Minister to marry Miss Fourth to you?"
Bai Yutang smiled faintly, and without answering, walked slowly in front of Yan Rusi, stretched out his palm, and placed it in front of her.
But within the palm of his hand, the two bead rings were shining brightly, shining together, and the stars reflected each other endlessly.
Returning the king and the twin pearls, the sky is long and the water is green, recalling the beginning.
Yan Rusi suddenly opened his eyes wide, his face full of disbelief, and said in a trembling voice: "It turns out that... you were the one who bought the other bead ring back then..."
Bai Yutang nodded slowly, stared at Yan Rusi, and laughed at himself: "I, Bai Yutang, pretended to be free and easy all my life, but I did one thing that was not free and easy..."
How many times do you think about the old things, and you can't help but think to yourself, he and she are completely different people, but at that moment he fell in love with her?Is this the first time we met in Wengang Township?Is it reunion in Chonglu Mountain?Or the moment when Peng Li followed her and bought that bead ring in that small pawn shop?
This feeling can be regarded as a memory, but fortunately, he and her have not been completely missed.
Tears were streaming down Yan Rusi's face.The tears seemed to flow from the bottom of my heart, endless.Love is like a dream, and the heart is like a demon. It is hard to tell whether it is fate or evil.
In a trance, he only felt that the pair of tossing and reuniting bead rings had been worn on his ears by him.The oath that he has never forgotten since he was a child has been deeply uttered by him again——
"If you ask what you want in this life, I will be with Qing Baishou Twin Stars."
When Yan Shu heard Bai Yutang utter the words that he and Mrs. Cui made love to each other more than [-] years ago in public, his heart was shocked, and he said in a trembling voice, "You... how would you know..."
Bai Yutang turned around to look at Yan Shu, and said slowly: "Master, when you and Mrs. Cui failed to fulfill your wish at Luoxing Lake in Lingyun Mountain, I would like to make an alliance with you. I, Bai Yutang, will be like this for the rest of my life." , never lose each other!"
Yan Shu's body seemed to be struck by lightning, and he stood there dumbfounded, unable to speak any more.
Seeing this situation, Wang Zhaochen felt that the anger in his whole body was hard to contain. He saw a seven-star dagger originally used for ceremonies and alliances on the table beside him. With a flick of his sleeve, the dagger was pulled out of the scabbard He hissed, "Bai Yutang, you...you're deceiving people too much!"
Bai Yutang turned around suddenly, and saw Wang Zhaochen's eyes were about to burst, and the veins in his neck were bulging. Knowing that he really couldn't bear what happened today, he couldn't help but feel a little apologetic in his heart: "Okay, today I count my Bai Yutang's incompetence, you treat me badly. If I strike, I will never dodge. I have received your sword, and I will never owe you anything from now on!"
Wang Zhaochen knew Bai Yutang's abilities all along, although he himself had some martial arts skills, he was definitely no match for him.But in front of a full house of guests, if he endured the humiliation of taking his wife away, it would be difficult to gain a foothold in front of others.Hearing Bai Yutang's words now, he gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, you're just asking for it!"
While drinking, he rubbed his body forward and stabbed Bai Yutang's chest with a sword.This move was extremely quick, Zhan Zhao and Qing Cheng were in the hall, separated by many guests, they were too late to help each other.Bai Yutang saw that the sword was pointing at the deadly point, he smiled wryly in his heart, but he still straightened his body and went to meet the sword's edge.
The cold light was cold, seeing that it was about to pierce Bai Yutang's chest, but with a flash of scarlet clothes, Yan Rusi had already blocked Bai Yutang's body, Wang Zhaochen was too late to stop, and with a pounce of the short sword, it penetrated deeply into Yan Rusi's chest. Si shoulder fossa.
Both Wang Zhaochen and Bai Yutang turned pale with shock, Bai Yutang shouted angrily, and pushed out his palm, hitting Wang Zhaochen's shoulder.Wang Zhaochen let out a cry of surprise, flew nine feet away, and fell to the ground. The dagger in his hand fell with a loud sound, drawing a streak of dark red blood on the ground.
Bai Yutang hugged Yan Rusi's body tightly, and slowly sat down on the ground.Blood gushed out of Yan Rusi's shoulders, and through the embroidered clothes, it was like a plum rain, staining the entire front of Bai Yutang.She clenched her cherry lips, endured the pain, leaned against Bai Yutang's arms, looked at Wang Zhaochen, and said intermittently, "You...you don't want to hurt him..."
Wang Zhaochen had just seen Yan Rusi's expression towards Bai Yutang, and he already suspected that she had an old relationship with Bai Yutang. Now seeing her sacrifice her life to save her, there is no doubt about the inside story.Although he didn't have any real feelings for him, he felt that it was a shame in this life for Wen Ding's wife to have an affair with someone else, and the slap from Bai Yutang just now was really serious, so he couldn't bear it anymore and let out a wow He spat out a mouthful of blood and passed out.Wang Bowen exclaimed, and hurried over to see how Aiko's injury was.
There was a sudden change, blood splashed on Huayi, and the Fengyi Hall suddenly became chaotic.Zhan Zhao and Qing Cheng flew to Yan Rusi's side together, and saw that Bai Yutang had already touched several acupoints around Yan Rusi's wound, but still couldn't stop the bleeding.Qingcheng hurriedly took out the wound medicine she was carrying with her from her bosom, gently pushed aside the embroidered clothes on the wound, applied the wound medicine to the wound, and tied it tightly with a ribbon.
At this time, everyone in the Yan Mansion had already surrounded Bai Yutang and Yan Rusi.Yan Shu saw that Qingcheng was proficient in healing techniques. Although the injury was serious, it seemed that his life was not in danger for the time being. His heart eased, and he immediately shouted: "Come on, take Bai Yutang down!"
But in a short while, twenty or thirty guards from the Prime Minister's Mansion poured into the auditorium, passing through Qingcheng and Zhan Zhao, surrounding Bai Yutang and Yan Rusi.
Yan Rusi's wound was in severe pain, and cold sweat was running down his forehead. When he suddenly saw his father ordering Bai Yutang to be arrested, he was startled. He raised his hand and grabbed Bai Yutang's shirt on his chest, and said anxiously, "You... hurry..."
Bai Yutang looked up at the situation around him, lowered his eyebrows and smiled at Yan Rusi: "Don't worry... if you want to leave, let's go together!"
He had wrapped his hands around Yan Rusi's waist, but at this moment he swung out the sleeve of his right hand suddenly, with force everywhere, making a semicircle.The guards surrounding him felt the strong wind blowing towards them, and they all took half a step back in panic.In that instant, Bai Yutang had picked up Yan Rusi in his arms, fluttered across the wall of people, and headed straight for the outside of the hall.
Zhan Zhao never expected Bai Yutang to do this, seeing Bai Yutang and Yan Rusi flying past him, he was startled, jumped up, and slapped Bai Yutang's back, trying to force him Turning around to parry, slowing down, but suddenly saw the beautiful figure in front of him erratic, Qingcheng was already obliquely blocking in front of him, preventing him from palming the wind to castrate.
Bai Yutang heard the movement of his clothes behind him, he lowered his body slightly, looked back at Qingcheng, and said with a faint smile, "Girl, thank you in the future!" Then he hugged Yan Rusi, swept lightly, and jumped out. Outside the hall, after only two or three jumps, they have jumped out of the palace wall and disappeared.The guards in the mansion have never seen such a situation, they are all stunned, how can they catch up?
Zhan Zhao was so anxious that he took a step forward, but seeing Qingcheng refused to give an inch, he was still standing in front of him, and said anxiously: "Qingcheng, get out of the way, this is not the time to be willful!"
However, Qingcheng raised his sleeves, and there was a half-smile on his lips: "I want to be willful, how about it?"
Zhan Zhao stomped heavily: "You...what exactly do you want?"
Qingcheng raised his eyes and looked into Zhan Zhao's eyes: "What I want is to see lovers get married! What happened just now, are you turning a blind eye?"
Zhan Zhao didn't know about Bai Yutang and Yan Rusi's past relationship at first, but he already knew in his heart that something happened just now.He silently sighed, but still said in a deep voice: "You only want lovers to get married, but you don't know that Bai Yutang took Miss Fourth away. This disaster will inevitably involve many innocent people."
Seeing that his position remained the same, Qingcheng felt lost in her heart, and said lightly: "If it comes to this disaster, I am also responsible. If anyone is implicated by this, I am willing to bear it for them."
Zhan Zhao shook his head and sighed, "I'm afraid you won't be able to bear it in the end... You are smart in everything, why are you so confused today?"
Qingcheng's pupils dimmed suddenly, she lowered her head, and smiled sadly: "Perhaps in this life, one will always do one or two foolish things..."
This sentence touched Zhan Zhao's heart, he sighed heavily, knowing that Bai Yutang had gone far away at this time, he turned around and walked back to Yan Shu, bowed and said, "Mr. Yan, Zhan is going back to Kaifeng Mansion right now Arranging arrangements, we will definitely find Miss Fourth as soon as possible, and send her back to the mansion safely."
When Yan Shu saw that he was kidnapped by Bai Yutang at the wedding ceremony, he was so shocked that he couldn't believe it.Now hearing Zhan Zhao's words, he said angrily: "Bai Yutang is a guard under the Kaifeng Mansion, now in broad daylight, trespassing into the auditorium of the Prime Minister's Mansion, abducting my daughter and hurting my son-in-law, this is tolerable, what is unbearable! Xiang will enter the palace to face the Holy Spirit, please the Holy One to deal with this matter! If Mr. Bao can't give the truth an explanation, his Kaifeng Mansion will never be able to get promoted to the Great Hall again!"
Seeing that Wang Zhaochen had been unconscious, Wang Bowen was furious. Hearing Yan Shu's words, he stood up and said in a loud voice, "This old man will go to the palace with the Prime Minister." Now you go to the Privy Council and let Master Lin lead the forbidden army to conduct a thorough search of all parts of the city, and at the same time strictly guard the gates of the city, strictly checking those who enter and exit! By the way, where is Bai Yutang's hometown?"
The servant murmured: "My lord, I heard that he is a man from Jianghu, alone, only a few sworn brothers live in Lujiazhuang, an empty island in Songjiang Prefecture."
Wang Bowen said angrily: "Then what are you waiting for, Lord Lin please send an urgent document to the Songjiang Mansion, ordering the Songjiang Mansion to mobilize troops and horses, quickly arrest those people, and escort them to Tokyo!"
Before the servant bowed his head to take orders, Zhan Zhao said in a deep voice: "My lords, please slow down. This matter is related to the prestige of the two governments, so we must handle it carefully. Where do you go, please think twice, my lords!"
Both Yan Shu and Wang Bowen's heart skipped a beat.What happened today is really embarrassing.Although there are so many guests, it is inevitable that leaks will be leaked to the outside world, but if there is a big fanfare and a follow-up questioning, it will probably be even more rumors and insult the reputation of the family.
Seeing that the two of them were silent, Zhan Zhao felt a little relieved, and said loudly: "If the two adults trust Zhan, I will give Zhan a three-day deadline. Within three days, Zhan will definitely send the fourth lady back safely. Fuchu!"
Yan Shu and Wang Bowen looked at each other, both unable to make up their minds.After a long time, Yan Shu sighed, "Okay, Zhan Zhao, based on our usual friendship, I'll trust you for once. Bowen, what do you think?"
Wang Bowen's hatred was not resolved, but he was not willing to disobey Yan Shu's decision, so he said: "Let's follow Xiangye's method. Three days are too long, and the old man will only give you six hours! Tonight, if you can't hand over the white jade Miss Tang and Fourth, this matter will be taken over by the Imperial Army, and your Kaifeng Mansion will not be involved in it anymore!"
Zhan Zhao frowned and wanted to argue, but Yan Shu flicked his sleeves and turned around: "That's it, you go!"
Now that the matter has come to this point, Zhan Zhao knew there was nothing he could do, so he saluted Yan Shu and Wang Bowen, turned around and walked out of Fengyi Hall quickly.
Outside the Huatang, the light is strong, and the flowers and willows are in the air, and the wind is full of the pavilion.The light blue figure that was standing quietly at first had disappeared without a trace.
