Suo Jinling

Chapter 72

In the next few days, Lan Jingming went back to the General's Mansion, where he spent most of the day lying on the couch, playing with his fingers in boredom. He kept quiet, let alone attracting attention, and sometimes stood by the window blowing the cold wind and looking up. The starry sky is considered a rare release.

He also eats more than before. There is less chicken, duck and fish meat left over from eating a few mouthfuls. Those cakes are always coming, and they will be swallowed as much as they have. He was much more comfortable in the middle of the day, he was busy dealing with the children of various aristocratic families who came to congratulate him during the day, and he didn't want to stay in the mansion at night. Reluctant to get up, he patted his horse and rushed back to the old general's mansion.

Lan Jing knew that he didn't dare to go out during the day, so he could only observe the surrounding situation from the window during the time of letting the wind out. There were fewer people nearby than before. Lan Jingming knew that the day of Ah Jing's marriage was approaching, and he could not go out at night, so he could only wait for the day of Ah Jing's marriage to take advantage of the weak defense and wait for the opportunity to let Lan Daozhen come out.

Ah Jing came to look for him every night, Lan Jingming never held back, wrapped her hands and feet in his arms, Ah Jing was tired and lay in his arms, sweating and sticking to him, he was panting|breathing non-stop, with five emotions in his heart Miscellaneous, I don't know how many impulses have arisen, wanting to tell everything together, wanting to beg Ah Jing not to get married, wanting to tell Ah Jing everything he has experienced in these years...

But during the day, his chest was always trembling, his breathing was intermittent, sometimes he couldn't catch his breath, and even lost consciousness. This feeling of being unable to move was too terrifying. If he died like this, Ah Jing would throw him into a mess. In the burial mound, there will be no burden. If Ah Jing knows everything about the past, he will not live in peace and fall into confusion.

The two can't see each other during the day, and at night they are lingering with each other behind their backs. The mirage-like dream is so sweet, like honey wrapped in poisonous wine, which makes people reluctant to refuse. They just want to close their eyes and lick them wantonly. clean.

The day of marriage is getting closer and closer, Jing Xian is still young, after playing around in the street, she finally gathers her mind back, embroiders her purse and prepares for the big wedding. She was so unhappy that she washed her face with tears, and then thought that she would have to deal with many chores in the general's mansion in the future, and she would have children with the general... She panicked after realizing that she hid Chen Jing during the day and refused to go out. She buried her face in the pillow and cried all night long.

Chen Jing has no time to take care of these things. There has been a severe drought in the south recently, and the victims have gathered one after another, praying to the sky for rain, but there has been no movement in the court, and they have not even performed a ritual ceremony. Chen Jing took time to go to Ning Wangfu In the middle of the day, Fei Slave's cage was clean, and no news came from it.

Hongye stared outside He Zhongyin's mansion, and sent a letter saying that everything was as usual. Chen Jing was busy all day, only to feel that all these things were entangled, and there were thousands of threads in them. There are thousands of connections, but he can't find the thread to solve the confusion, which only makes him feel depressed and irritable.

His sister-in-law wanted him to coax Jing Xian to make her happy and not to delay the marriage. He walked to the door and lingered for a while, intending to knock on the door with his fingers bent. When he heard her sobbing inside, he couldn't let go of his wrist.

He usually spends his days among men, and he always uses his fists to solve problems, but he doesn't know how to make women happy. Besides, the marriage is not what he wants, and he is so busy with many things that he is afraid of saying something No, it made her sad for no reason.

He stood stiffly outside until Lu Wenmo, who heard the news, hurried in and the crying inside subsided, so he was relieved.

When Jingxian heard the general walk out the door, she wanted to cry so hard that he came in to coax her, but he stood there for a long time, refusing to come in, and when Lu Wenmo came in to persuade her, she couldn't hold back her grievances anymore, and jumped into the room. She was crying hoarsely in her arms, and she refused to listen no matter how coaxed she was.

Chen Jing was at a loss for these things, he thought that all women in the world were like sisters-in-law and did not need much care from him, but now he realized that everything was different from what he imagined, if he went out to fight in the future, the number of times he would return home would be very few, and Jing Xian would have to stay in the empty room alone, Waiting for him to come back?

If he died in battle, according to the custom, Jing Xian would not be able to remarry, she could only guard the chastity archway and spend her whole life alone.

Chen Jing was upset, he dug out his elder brother's hidden wine under the tree in the house and drank two jars, then walked back to the bedroom drunkenly, and lay on the bed.

The world was spinning in his head, he woke up and fell asleep intermittently, fell asleep and woke up again, he knelt down in the snow in his dream, holding on to the red silk in his hand, and bowed to the world, there were no brothers and sisters in the forest, only a wooden house standing alone, the wooden house In front of him was a big tree that could not be embraced by several people. The person worshiping with him was wearing a phoenix crown and Xiapei, with a golden bell on his left wrist and a jade bracelet on his right wrist. The person knelt respectfully on the ground and kowtowed three times with him Raising his wrist, he slowly lifted the hijab.

Chen Jing held his breath and concentrated, his throat was blocked, and he couldn't breathe, as if being pinched by a giant hand. The man had blond hair, blinked his blue eyes, and slightly curled his lips towards him.

Chen Jing sat up suddenly, clenched his fingers a few times, clenched his fist into a stone, and slammed it hard on the couch.

Two days later would be the day of great joy, but Chen Jing didn't want to sleep in the old general's mansion for a day. He galloped back to his mansion, held Lan Jingming down and tossed and turned, the hostility dissipated a lot, and he was sweating all over his back Sullen, he held Lan Jingming in his arms, and muttered in a low voice, "I don't want to get married, nor do I want to marry a wife."

Lan Jingming froze his arms, rolled his throat twice, tried to suppress the choking, and choked out a hoarse voice: "You will marry a wife anyway."

"I don't want to marry a wife," Chen Jing muttered over and over again, the smell of alcohol still on his body, he amplified his voice again and again, almost roaring, "I don't want to marry her, the person I want to marry is not her!"

Lan Jingming was so shocked that he leaned on the couch in a daze, and did not move for a long time.

Chen Jing let it out and fell asleep on his own. When he woke up, the sky was bright and his retainers were asking for orders outside. He had a splitting headache and went out unsteadily. He was carried into a cart by several people and sent to the old general's residence.

There are many etiquettes to be done on the day before getting married. Chen Jing paid homage to the ancestral hall, invited the tablets of his parents, lit incense and offered tribute in the Buddhist hall, and thick sandalwood rolled up to wrap him in it. He knelt on the futon For a long time, he refused to get up. When he was young, he hated being disciplined. He wanted to grow up and want his own mansion. He thought that with the mansion, many difficulties would be solved. Now he realizes that these are just self-deception. As he grew older, the shackles wrapped around him became tighter and tighter, and each pile was like a towering mountain, pressing him to the bottom of the valley.

On the wedding day, the mansion was extremely lively. Even though Chen Jing insisted on keeping everything simple, each family sent one person, and the mansion was overcrowded. Chen Jing was waited on, changed into a red auspicious suit, rode a tall horse, and walked around the mansion. After two laps, Jingxian stepped down from the sedan chair in red silk, was helped by the maid across the threshold, separated from Chen Jing, and stood together in front of her brother and sister-in-law.

"Worship the heavens and the earth-"

Chen Jing turned half of her body and looked at Jing Xian's little feet wearing embroidered shoes. The soles of her feet were not full, and she still looked like a child.

He just came back from the forest a few years ago, and when he learned that there were many beauties in the mansion, he glared at his elder brother, saying that if his elder brother cheated outside, he would repay his kindness and let his sister-in-law feel sorry.

"Second worship high hall-"

The brothers and sisters-in-law were all red and happy, and there was a lot of people outside, and many people pushed and shoved their heads to look inside.

"Husband and wife greet each other—"

Jingxian lowered her eyebrows and bent down, the red silk was hanging down, Chen Jing stood still, her back was as hard as a pine.

This time, if I bow down, it will be considered as the end of the ceremony. Jingxian has entered his family tree. She was born as a member of his Chen family and died as a ghost of his Chen family. He has no feelings for her, but she has to be cautious in her words and deeds, and work hard. Take care of the family, be a good wife and mother, and abandon naivety from now on.

The ceremonial officer coughed lightly and repeated in a trembling voice: "Husband and wife bow to each other—"

Jingxian didn't say a word, she bowed silently and waited.

Repeat this three times, the auspicious time is about to pass, the official of ceremony is sweating like rain, quietly wiped with a cloth towel, not knowing how to get off the stage.

There was no sound outside, and the in-laws of Prince Rui's Mansion stared at Chen Jing with frozen smiles and solemn faces.

The next moment, the situation changed suddenly, and Chen Jing grabbed the red scissors on the table used as a gift, and cut them off to lead the red.

The red silk fell with the wind, Jing Xian took half a step back in shock, slightly pulled back her hijab, and looked at the opposite side hesitantly.

Chen Jing let go of his palm, and the red silk fell with the wind, burning into ashes in the brazier.

"Brother, sister-in-law, I can't marry Jing Xian." Chen Jing cupped his fists and bowed heavily, "I can't harm her forever."

"Nonsense!" Chen Rui slapped the table with his eyes cracked, and the porcelain bowl fell to the ground and shattered on the ground, "How can you be so presumptuous with the orders of your parents and the words of your matchmaker!"

The wedding hall suddenly became chaotic, and everyone in the house heard the news and gathered outside the wedding hall. Hong Shi, a retainer from Chen Jing's house, rode over and was shocked by the situation. He didn't want to spoil the general's wedding, but The situation in the mansion was critical, so he couldn't help being in a dilemma. He tried his best to push away the crowd, rushed into the auditorium and knelt in front of Chen Jing, hit his knee on the ground, and made a loud bang: "The military order is urgent, Hongshi has something important to report to the general!"

Chen Jing waved away the crowd, his brows were furrowed tightly, and an ominous premonition arose in his chest. He grabbed Hongshi's shoulder and dragged him outside forcefully: "What are you here to report?"

Being held by the general's big hands like iron tongs, Hongshi's strength lost, and he turned his head slightly, not daring to meet the general's eyes: "General... I am incompetent, and I was escaped by that prisoner, so it's okay." I didn't escape very far, and the soldiers followed the footprints and chased him, and they will definitely be able to catch him back."

"Which escaped, the one in the dungeon, or..."

Chen Jing gathered his five fingers, his back was as stiff as a stone, and the situation in his eyes was changing, and the rage that was about to rain was rolling out.

"Du, they all escaped." Hong Shi shook like a sieve, his Adam's apple rolled up and down, "There are heavy guards outside the dungeon, and it was another prisoner who disguised himself to knock the guards unconscious, and resorted to a trick to lure the tiger away from the mountain, and let him out."
