Li Jianbi was taken aback when he heard the word "death".He was grabbed by Chen Yiqin's wrist, and looked down at the carriage hanging outside the bridge. It was cold and rainy, and the river below was surging. In the dark night, there was no light on the water surface. At first glance, he looked like a bottomless hell.

Chen Yiqin turned to a cavalry soldier next to him and said, "Go down!"

The man could only say yes, but this man was tall and strong, and he was wearing armor. When he was halfway down, he heard the horse rope clucking a few times, and someone said: "The rope is about to break!"

"Come up!" Li Jianbi yelled, grabbed the man's back and dragged him back, saying, "I'm going down."

Chen Yiqin said: "No way! Just let the carriage fall into the river and fish it up again, you won't necessarily die!" As he spoke, he pulled Li Jianbi's arm again, but unexpectedly Li Jianbi threw him away with all his strength, leaned over and walked along the rope. Go down half the body.Chen Yiqin's shock was no small matter, he quickly squatted down, but when he stretched out his hand, he only grabbed the thin shirt on Li Jianbi's shoulder.

Li Jianbi's feet had reached the mahogany door of the carriage, and he raised his head and cursed: "Idiot! Let go! You're going to tear off my clothes!" Chen Yiqin knew that he had made up his mind, cursed secretly, and could only let go.

The carriage swayed slightly in the wind, accompanied by the rattling sound of the rope, Chen Yiqin's heart was hanging in his throat, and the strong wind blew him away.

The carriage's door posts were inserted obliquely to block the entrance when it hit. Li Jianbi broke a small door after breaking it with his hands for a long time. He glanced inside, and Fan An's two sons saw him, and quickly stood up and cried. Reach out to him.Li Jianbi stretched out his hand and pulled one up, before he could ask a question, he held it up and asked Chen Yiqin to take over and pull it up.

Chen Yiqin hugged the youngest son, and said loudly: "The wind is getting strong, this rope can't support much, come up quickly!"

Li Jianbi stretched out his hand and pulled another one up, saying: "Fan Pingqiu is still inside!" He pushed Fan An's eldest son up, carefully getting into the car body again.Chen Yiqin was almost furious and said: "Is there something wrong with your brain! This rope is about to break!" He thumped the bridge rail next to him hard, wishing he could go down and drag him up.

Li Jianbi got into the carriage, broke open the coffin on one side of the window, the water and moonlight came in, and saw Fan An underneath, Li Jianbi shook him vigorously, and said loudly: "Fan Pingqiu! Fan Pingqiu!" Fan An frowned. He frowned, closed his eyes and snorted softly, but refused to wake up.

His lower body was stuck firmly by the obliquely recessed car wall, and he could hardly move.The cheek on the right side was covered with blood, while the lips were snow-white, red and white interlaced in the dimness, making one frightened to watch.

Li Jianbi's heart was beating like a drum, and he suddenly remembered that when he was 14 years old, it was also such a rainy night. His father watched him die slowly in his hospital bed, and when he finally closed his eyes, he also had such a pale and dead face.The sadness and despair of losing a loved one were deeply etched in his heart, and he dreamed back at midnight, often waking him up like a nightmare.

More than ten years have passed, and he is no longer the child who has not experienced the storm. He thought that he would never be so worried after that. He never wanted to see Fan An for a moment. come out.

"Fan Pingqiu!" Li Jianbi yanked his lapel, "Wake up! You are so afraid of death, you have so much reluctance! How could you just die like this!" He was in danger, and he hadn't had time to say thank you, or even accept his kindness. Suddenly, this person was going to leave in such a way?

"Come out!" Chen Yiqin on the bridge shouted, "The rope is about to break!"

"Fan Pingqiu..." Li Jianbi hugged him, almost begging, "Wake up...I won't allow you to die like this...Did you hear..."

With his chest strangled by him, Fan An seemed a little out of breath, and suddenly his chest heaved and coughed a few times.Li Jianbi was overjoyed, and lowered his head to see that he slowly opened his eyes.

The fine rain fell from the broken car entrance, and the wind was howling, accompanied by the faint moonlight.Fan An saw Li Jianbi's face covered with rain, and suddenly returned to the imperial garden where the jade petals were flying when he first saw it in the chaos. The sun was shining brightly, and the breeze was as cool as water. "Master Li..." He suddenly laughed, "Why are you crying?"

Li Jianbi knew that he was not dead, he was overjoyed and then furious, raised his hand and slapped his face violently, scolding: "Wake up! Stand up!"

Fan An was hurt by the slap, and his mind slowly came to his senses.When he realized it, he couldn't help but trembled, he shook his body violently, and said: "My leg is stuck!" Li Jianbi rushed over and pulled his left leg, but it really couldn't move.It turned out that the ear that was inserted horizontally stuck his ankle.

Li Jianbi kicked her feet vigorously. At this time, a strong wind blew by, causing the car to shake for a while.Hearing Chen Yiqin's shout, Fan An looked up and realized that he was being hung by the bridge. He was shocked and pushed Li Jianbi and said, "Hurry up! This car is going to fall down." Already!"

"I'm leaving early, why wait until now?!" Li Jianbi yelled at him angrily, pulled Fan An's foot violently, and finally pulled his leg out.He helped Fan An up and said, "Get out of the car!"

Fan An pushed Li Jianbi and said, "You go first!"

"What are you two dawdling about?! Do you want to die together?!" Chen Yiqin's voice came from above, "This rope is about to break! Li Xiuyuan, you fucking come up to me!!" Book, as the king's teacher, has not cursed a word in 20 years, today he can't bear it, it can be regarded as breaking the precept.

Li Jianbi knew that there was no time to evade, so he got out of the car door without saying a word. He squatted on the car grille and stretched out his hand, and said to Fan An, "Give me your hand!" When he got up, Li Jianbi realized that his leg had been pinched for too long, and he lost consciousness for a while.

Fan An struggled for a while, and at this moment the car body stopped suddenly, and Chen Yiqin said: "A rope is broken!" Passionately attached.It's worth it if you can get this one look with a knife in both sides... A mere death is nothing to worry about.

Heh... Fan An felt that his brain had been smashed.He raised his head, but he couldn't tell whether his eyes were filled with rain or tears.Chen Yiqin lay half-body on the bridge, stretched out his hand and asked Li Jianbi to give him his hand.

But Li Jianbi only had time to raise his head to look at him, and there were several successive clangs, and the three ropes snapped.The carriage fell down the bridge in an uproar. After the huge sound of water, it completely lost its movement in the flowing water and wind.

Chen Yiqin grabbed the air with one hand, and watched Li Jianbi and the carriage fall, he was stunned for a while, and ordered loudly: "Jump down and save people!" Jumped down three times.

Ordinary carriages are made of boards and wood. On such a rainy night, they disappear after going down the water for a while.Fortunately, the carriage that Fan An was riding was made of mahogany, and the body was heavy. After falling into the water, it sank to the bottom of the water not too far away.Most of the dozen or so cavalry who jumped down were washed directly to the East Bridge by the river, but some people still reached the bottom of the carriage. After a few twists and turns, they finally pulled Fan An out of the carriage. Familiar with the water, he was out of breath as soon as he came to the surface, he went down the water, grabbed the people beside him and said, "Where is Master Li?"

The people next to him didn't have the time to answer him. They protected Fan An together and slowly leaned towards the shore along the water. After counting, they finally climbed onto the shore.Fan An knelt on the bank and vomited a few times, raised his head to look at the water, and asked, "Where is Master Li?"

At this moment, Chen Yiqin ran down from the bridge, and when he saw Fan An from afar, he shouted, "Where is the other one?" He got closer, and one of them replied, "We only saw Mr. Fan in the carriage. That Li lord was outside the horse at that time, he was probably washed away by the water."

Chen Yiqin said: "Then why don't you go look for it!" The man was silent for a while, wondering: "My lord, the river is so wide, there are not enough of us, so where can we go to find... that man hasn't been rescued yet, I'm afraid it's already..."

I'm afraid it's dead.

Fan An only felt that his heart was as cold as swallowing snow, while Li Jianbi was afraid of the cold, and most likely he could not swim.For such a swift river, there are many dangers...Fan An closed his eyes in pain, and for the first time realized what life is better than death. God has no eyes, why didn't he die?

"Why didn't you die?" Chen Yiqin beside him also thought the same, impulsively pulled out the short dagger from the waist of the cavalry beside him, and raised his hand to kill Fan An.Fan An was held by his lapel, and saw that the point of the knife was facing his throat, but his heart was extremely calm. He even thought, if the point of the knife pierced his throat, would the blood flow out be enough to wash it off? The sins he has done in his life.

First there is Fan Pingqiu, and then there is Li Jianbi. Did God not understand the long life of good people, so he sent down a monster like Fan An to be his nemesis?But who did he intend to harm? In the dark, who is forcing him to get to where he is today?

His two youngest sons cried while hugging Fan An, and said to Chen Yiqin, "Don't kill my daddy".Fan An looked at these two sons, Mo Ming laughed out loud, his whole life was a big joke.

"You kill me..." Fan An raised his eyes and wrote lightly, "I've had enough, it's really... too boring." He could feel Chen Yiqin's anger, and even heard his trembling breathing, those eyes Reflecting the river water, there was a cold light like a sharp knife.

"Master Chen! A person has been rescued here!" A voice suddenly came from further away.Fan An shook his head, turned his head to look, and saw three or four cavalrymen coming this way with one person on their backs.Fan An almost bounced to his feet, shook off Chen Yiqin and ran over quickly.

The person on the back was Li Jianbi, who probably passed out after choking on too much water.Chen Yiqin ordered someone to put it down, and pressed Li Jianbi's abdominal cavity hard with his hands. While spitting out water, Li Jianbi woke up coughing lightly.

He slowly opened his eyes, and saw Fan An standing aside, with a slight smile on his face, he stretched out his hand and said, "Fan Pingqiu..."

Fan An knelt down and held his hand.This night, he experienced great shock, great anger, great grief and great joy, but now that Li Jianbi is by his side, it seems that everything has faded away, wealth, honor, disgrace, dignity and conscience are no longer important. "I was wrong, I'm not leaving, I'll listen to you..." he said, "Go back and be the official censor and marry Zheng Kang's daughter obediently."

Li Jianbi said: "It's great to see you are fine..."

Fan An smiled and said yes.

68. Jasper

Chen Yiqin breathed a sigh of relief, he hugged Li Jianbi, and said to Fan An: "Master Fan has worked hard tonight, it will be dawn soon, you should hurry back to your residence." He said and signaled to the cavalry next to him to escort Fan An immediately go back home.

Fan An still grabbed Li Jianbi's sleeve, asking what should Mr. Li do?

"I will send Lord Li back to the western suburbs." He got on his horse while speaking, and he was about to ride away with Li Jianbi in his arms.Fan An sighed and said, "I'll go too, I'm worried!"

"It's almost five o'clock. If you don't go back to the mansion, the people in your mansion will come out to look for you. At that time, the guards in the city will be alarmed. If you find Xiuyuan's residence, are you trying to put him in jail?" Chen Yiqin said, "If you hadn't insisted on going out of the city tonight, he wouldn't have fallen into the water. If you're doing it for his own good, let him go and leave here as soon as possible."

Fan An was rendered speechless by what he said, Li Jianbi watched him grab his sleeve and say something with his lips slightly parted.Before Fan An heard it clearly, Chen Yiqin had already grabbed Li Jianbi's hand with one hand, and rode his horse forward.

Fan An didn't go after them. He watched the two leave in the rain, and stood there for a while with the rain dripping all over his body.A few horsemen from Zheng's mansion nearby got him a carriage, put Fan An and his son on the back of the carriage, and walked into the city in the rain.

His two children were very sensible, and they didn't cry in this situation, they just curled up beside Fan An to keep warm.Fan An lay on his back in the car, listening to the soft sound of rain outside.Half of his three souls and six souls are still in the deep river at the mouth of the river, and the other half have followed Chen Yiqin's black horse to the western suburbs.He could imagine that when Chen Yiqin arrived at Li Jianbi's residence, how considerately he would lift him off the horse, and how gently he would light up the fire in the house, busily changing clothes and cooking medicine for him. On a rainy night, the two of them met each other's eyes and had a long talk... Maybe they could do something more intimate.

Fan An laughed. At this moment, there was a piercing pain in his calf, which made him moan again.When people outside heard his voice, they lifted the curtain of the car and asked him what was wrong. Fan An said that his leg hurt.The man said: "Fan's residence will arrive soon, my lord will be patient for a while." Fan An said: "Patience? You are not me, do you know how painful I am?! Why should I be patient!"

The man touched Fan An's brow, twitched the corners of his mouth, and put down the car curtain with an oh, Ren Fan An groaned all the way in the car, and sent him back to Fan's mansion before five o'clock.

Fan An's calf was broken, and both ankles were swollen like steamed buns. The doctor who saw the doctor said, Your Excellency is really auspicious, and if the bones of this foot are broken more severely, he may be crippled for life.Fan An heheed twice, and said he was lame. Does anyone care about an embarrassing person like me?

The doctor turned embarrassment into ugly, and immediately flattered you, saying that your lord is a good-looking talent, with such a refined and elegant appearance, if there is such a flaw, all the jasper ladies in the capital will be sad.Not to mention the daughter of Mr. Zheng's family.

Fan Anru looked at him jokingly, and said, "Well said."

Fan An's leg was still in severe pain for a while after the bone grafting, and he couldn't go to the early morning, and his business was put aside, and he lay down all day doing nothing.Bai Qiongyu felt sorry for him, and once when she was basking with him in the sun, she told him that smoking hemp oak cigarettes could relieve pain, so Fan An asked him to buy it.

As a result, the legs were not well-raised, and he became addicted to cigarettes.After half a month of training his legs, he was able to walk slowly, and he no longer felt such strong pain.But Yuanzhu saw that he was still lying in the shade of the trees in the backyard every day, with a wide robe and loose hair, thinking about something in his heart, looking up at the sky like a dead person, his pale wrist resting on the handle of the wicker chair On the bed, the blue pipe wafts dreamlike white smoke in the breeze.

Yuanzhu told him that the adult's legs are almost healed and he should walk more. The two sons were sent to study outside the city again. The weather is fine today, so it's better to meet outside the city.Fan An lazily hummed, turned sideways and said, "Let's talk..."

After a few more days like this, he only saw Yu Shi Zhongcheng, who brought him some supplements, and euphemistically said that the review records handed in in the past few days have piled up, and the adults will not give instructions. I can't do the work below.Fan An leaned on the arhat couch in the official hall, and said that he knew, and he would approve it for you sometime.

He was only wearing a snow-colored tunic underneath, and a dark purple eagle embroidered on his outer robe. He was lying lazily half-lying, with the corners of his clothes dragging to the ground. The words are still casual.In Qin Hairu's impression, Fan An was always serious, and it was rare for him to be so unofficial. I haven't seen him for a month. How did this person change so much?

"When my lord was ill before, I never missed official duties. This time, for the first time, I didn't go to the official court for a month, and everyone was very worried." Qin Hairu said, "The servants of Yushitai want to come to see you, why don't you reward me? What about a face?"

Fan An chuckled, and said that the faces I saved will be rewarded to you today?He said: "Go and tell them, I'm fine, I'm not dead yet, don't worry about it."

Qin Hairu didn't know whether to laugh or cry after hearing him say these words. Fan An leaned back, with a look of avoiding strangers. He wanted to talk to him about what happened in the court these days, but after thinking about it , I can only say goodbye.

A few moments after Qin Hairu left, Yuan Zhu came over again and said that someone wanted to see him.Fan An said without raising his head, "Send them back, I'll go to work tomorrow." Yuan Zhu said, "It's not the master of Yushitai, it's Chen Xueshi. He said that the master has recuperated for more than a month, and the injury must be cured , I want to talk about Miss Zheng's marriage."

Fan An looked up at him and said yes, let him in.He got up, tied up his outer robe, and asked someone to fetch a pot of hot tea from the outside room. Before getting the tea leaves, Chen Yiqin had already been led to the entrance of his official hall.

Fan An asked him to come in and sit down, and poured him a glass of water with his own hands.

Chen Yiqin smiled and said that my lord will not come here without any harm.He took a few glances and said, "I heard that my lord broke his leg that day, and I was still worried, but today he seems to have recovered." He lightened his cup and said that Xiu Yuan's body is also recovering, I know your lord is worried , specially to inform you.

"With you, Master Chen, taking care of me, what else do I need to worry about?" Fan An said, "You are here today for your sister's wedding? Don't worry, I have already counted the days. The eighth day of September is a good day, and I will meet you when the time comes." to propose marriage."

Chen Yiqin did not expect him to be so calm. "My father and I have also planned to propose a marriage in September. The imperial concubine and empress will be the matchmaker for this marriage, so that the ceremony of selection will be saved at that time. There is no need for Najib. I have already counted the birthdays of the adult and the younger sister, and they match very well. In a few days, my lord will find a time to send some betrothal gifts, let's make an offer, the seventh day of October is a great day, let's set the wedding ceremony on that day."

Fan An froze for a while with the teacup in his hand, before it was finished, he said lightly, "Okay."

Chen Yiqin looked at his expression and said, don't you want to ask about Li Jianbi's recent situation?Fan An said: "I want to know, I will see it myself." Why bother talking about it?

"Tang Jinglong was beheaded, along with the former minister of Dali Temple, two ministers, and the former censor Zhongcheng of Lantai." Chen Yiqin said, "My lord has not left the palace for more than a month, have you heard the news?"

Fan An hadn't heard of it, and he subconsciously resisted knowing these things while he was in the mansion these few days.Now that he heard the words in vain, his heart fluctuated, and he asked: "Where are the others?" Chen Yiqin said: "It's still closed, I don't know how it will end."

Fan An chuckled lightly and said, "Holy will is unpredictable, I don't know when it will be my turn. I want to make my sister, I am afraid that one day a sudden imperial decree will pull me out of the Meridian Gate and behead me, and let my sister beheaded again." Keep the empty boudoir."

Chen Yiqin looked at him with a fake smile and said no. "My lord, still can't see the current situation clearly? My lord, think about it carefully: His Majesty is in critical condition, and the two princes are still young." He stood up and approached Fan An, poured a cup of tea for Fan An, and said, " The current important ministers in the court are all wise and brave men who followed the emperor to fight the world, and none of them are ordinary things in the pool. To put it bluntly, when the saint goes west, who can shake this group of court officials? Prince Young and dissatisfied, if he is left alone, within two years, his relatives will take over the government, and the imperial power will take over, sooner or later, this grand Xuan will change his surname."

"As the saying goes, the beloved son of the parents has a far-reaching plan. The Holy Majesty killed these important ministers for the crime of treason in spite of the grievances of the court. Only when there are no stumbling blocks in the road can the new monarch go far." Chen Yiqin said, "I would rather let the world down than teach the world to blame me. Everyone says that the holy will is unpredictable. Words, what can't be figured out."

He said again: "At the beginning, I had received the glory, wealth and joy bestowed by the Holy One, but now I have to endure the suffering of hell in the underworld. People are mortal, so it is not considered that the Holy Majesty has treated them badly."

Fan An heard this, and said, if it is calculated in this way, then I am doomed, I am the second-rank Lantai censor, and I can be worthy of the word "important minister".If your sister marries me, she may have to live a hard life in the future.

Chen Yiqin glanced at him and said that Your Excellency was wrong, thinking that when you took office as a new official, all the people in the Manchu Dynasty formed cliques, and you were the only one who stood out from the mud, and the Holy Majesty even secretly praised you for this.you forgot?There are few good officials who are diligent and honest in this court. In the eyes of the Holy One, Your Excellency is a role model.Believe me, my lord, within a few months, my lord will be promoted.This point, the imperial concubine could not be more sure.

Fan An couldn't help laughing. It turned out that Fan An himself couldn't see the way forward, and someone had already paved the way for him.

OK, it couldn't be better.He was originally a duckweed in the water, no matter whether he was in the officialdom and temples or ordinary people's homes, he was pushed away by the affairs of the world.In the world of mortals, there are a few people who really do what they want, even an invincible person like Liu Xi, there are things that he has no choice but to do.He is a pariah, a heinous sinner, and he still hopes to be free?wishful thinking.

He suddenly became enlightened, sat down on the couch with a smile, took the jasper pipe on the desk, and said that Mr. Chen is a genius, and he will definitely assist the emperor in the future. I will bother you about my future.

69. Greetings

Chen Yiqin was also not polite: "If your lord and Lingmei get married in Qin and Jin, I dare to call you big brother. After that, I will take pictures with my heart. It is my blessing." Fan An was amused by him, and said: "Yes. , it's not your luck..."

On the third day of September, Fan An went to Zheng's mansion to propose marriage as promised. He and his party brought supplements, some valuable wine, jade, and famous paintings, all of which were gifts from Qin Hairu when he came to visit him at his mansion a few days ago.Anyway, he, Fan An, didn't need it, so he handed it over to Zheng's mansion, which happened to be a deal.Zheng Kang set up a wine banquet for him, Fan An had a smile on his face, he ate and drank, he couldn't see what Chen Yiqin said before: he refused to marry his younger sister and ran away from office overnight .

After the proposal, I will ask Najib in mid-September.Fan An has been an official for two years, and he has not been greedy for any money. He only saved 200 taels of silver in the account room. Fan An only kept some for his family, and the rest was bought as a betrothal gift and sent to the Zheng Mansion.The dowry was chosen by Yuanzhu herself, and when the money was spent, she felt that it was not enough, so she bit the bullet and asked Fan An: Miss Zheng is Mrs. Zheng's daughter, and your lord is the second-rank official, so the dowry of two or three hundred is really unreasonable.A few days ago, there was a minister in the cabinet who married a wife. I heard that the bride price alone cost tens of thousands of taels... Do you want to borrow from the adults in Lantai?

Fan An said: "Then you also add the presents from other officials before."

"It's not enough..." Yuan Zhu said, "Besides, my lord has confiscated gifts several times."

Fan An smoked a cigarette and said that there was only this little money in the house, you borrowed it from others, and you still have to pay it back later.In terms of money, no matter how much I borrow, I can’t get richer than Commander Zheng, so let’s just leave it at that.There are too few people in the Zheng residence, so they kicked you out, and then come back and tell me.

Zheng Kang didn't drive Yuanzhu out, accepted the gift, and greeted Miss Yuan in a friendly voice.As a result, the Zheng Mansion returned to the market in late September, with more than a dozen vehicles of gifts and dowries serially loaded. In the last vehicle, all the gifts sent by Fan An were returned.

This was like a slap on Fan An's face, and he said brightly, "I don't care if I dare to send this little betrothal gift!" Yuan Zhu saw that the servant of Zheng's mansion moved the betrothal gift into the warehouse, He whispered to Fan An: "My lord, people are mocking you..."

Leaning against the door frame, Fan An watched these people coming in and out, and said with a pipe in his hand, "It's just a sarcasm, it's good if you don't send someone to kill you, and you won't lose a piece of meat."

On the ninth day of October, finally came the day of marriage.In the past two years, there has been little joy in Fan's residence. On this day, the head of the family got married, red flowers were embroidered everywhere, and lanterns and colorful decorations were decorated.The handmaids who came and went were all wrapped with ribbons, and even the guards at the gate had changed into new clothes.

The third quarter of Shenshi is an auspicious time, and the horse team to welcome the bride is ready.Fan An changed into the bright red mianfu clothes, went out and got on his horse to go to Zheng's mansion to meet the sedan chair.Bai Qiongyu changed into a light red shirt, and followed Fan An to accompany him out the door. Fan An stepped down the steps, and a string of firecrackers was set off at the door. Bai Qiongyu was startled, took two steps and suddenly burst into tears.

Fan An looked back at him and asked why are you crying.

Bai Qiongyu said that after the adult gets married, the villain will no longer be able to serve you like before.From now on, it will be someone else who serves tea during the day and lights candles at night.The two young masters in the mansion are going to call someone else's mother.

Fan An patted her on the shoulder and said that I am going to marry a wife, not marrying myself, so there is nothing to be sad about.Don't worry, the daughter of Zheng's mansion is very delicate, she won't serve me some tea.

He comforted Bai Qiongyu a few words, and finally got on his horse and left.At the beginning of You Shi, the suona on the street in the distance shook the sky, Yuan Zhu ran out to take a look, and the cavalry team of colorful clouds and flying flowers seemed to fall from the sky, and the momentum and pomp were extraordinary.There are at least three hundred people in the Zheng family's line, and there are ten beautiful maidservants who are married as dowry.

Seeing that the bridal sedan chair was approaching, Yuanzhu asked people to set off firecrackers quickly. Unexpectedly, the carriage had brought its own firecrackers. All three streets can be heard.The sound of the cannon fell, and the peony sedan chair with the fragrance of mahogany landed gently, and the diffuse wind flew up a fine red.

The sedan door is slightly inclined, and the lotus steps are moved lightly, and a bride with a red cover on her head walks out.The pure clothes are loose, with flower hairpins and big sleeves. When the wind blows, the gold patterns on the clothes are radiant.The dowry maid of Zheng's mansion yelled at Fan An: "Young Master, are you still carrying Missy through the door?" Everyone booed at the news, Fan An jumped off the horse, with an innocent smile on his face, he strode forward. Walking in front of the bride, everyone thought that he was going to bend down and carry her back, but they didn't want this man to bend down and hug her in his arms.

The bride was caught off guard, and subconsciously quickly grabbed Fan An's neck. Everyone couldn't help laughing when they saw this, and the bride lowered her head slightly, as if she was a little shy.Fan An hugged him across the silver basin, which was an auspicious time for worship.

First worship heaven and earth, second worship high hall, husband and wife worship each other.The maidservant from Zheng's mansion embraced her mother and entered the bridal chamber.Fan An then went to the courtyard outside the atrium to drink with the officials who came to congratulate him.All the big and small officials from Lantai came, as well as a few from the six ministers and the Hanlin Academy, but no one from the cabinet was seen anyway.

Before that, some people thought that he had a heart for the Liang party and had some contacts with Xu Bochang, the chief assistant of the cabinet.Now, once he married Zheng Kang's daughter, he had a clear stand, which meant that Tong Ma cut off his friendship with Liang Yenian and his gang.

The wedding scene didn't dissipate until midnight, Fan An drank for a long time, dozens of guests from the old table collapsed from drinking before half of the toast was over.Yuan Zhu ordered Fan An to be carried into the bridal chamber, sat him at the table, and closed the door behind him.

A few servants and servants of Zheng's mansion took advantage of the wine to eavesdrop at the door, but Fan An got drunk at the table and didn't move for half an hour. Everyone lost their patience and returned to the atrium one after another.

The house servants of Fan's mansion slowly sent away the drinkers, and turned back to arrange for a few maidservants who came over as dowry to sleep.At this time, the moon was over, and the inside and outside of the building gradually quieted down. Fan An, who was lying on his stomach, frowned, and finally regained consciousness.

Fan An felt a deep ache all over his body, as if he was working late at night, and when he woke up, there were piles of yellowing volumes waiting to be reviewed.He stretched out his hand to grab it, and knocked off the peanut color plate on the table.He woke up with a start, his eyes were full of red brocade curtains, and he realized that this was the day he married his wife, the time of spring and night.

Zheng Wei'er was still sitting in front of the bed, covered with a red cover, bowed her head and said nothing.

Fan An stood up and walked towards her. He stood quietly in front of the bed for a while, stretched out his hand and pulled the red hijab embellished with gold and su.The red silk slipped down like silk, and the wind crown and xiapei dazzled mesmerizingly. Zheng Wei'er raised her head, and Fan An saw her face for the first time.

Snow-skinned almond eyes, slightly heroic.Compared with all the ladies in the city, she can be regarded as a beauty.

Zheng Wei'er raised her head to meet his eyes, she was slightly surprised when she saw Fan Anli's eyes, but she glanced at her beautiful eyes and said, "Don't think I married you voluntarily! Old bug, I have someone in my heart! "

Fan An was taken aback for a moment, he folded the red cover, placed it lightly on the head of the bed, walked two steps and tilted his body, subconsciously helped Zheng Wei'er.I don't want Miss Zheng to back off as if she was shocked by an electric shock, and said: "Don't even try to touch me! If you dare to force me, I will tell my father tomorrow that you bullied me!"

Seeing his frightened appearance, Fan An couldn't help but blame himself, so he moved his body and sat back at the table. "I know you don't want to marry me." Fan An said, "Don't worry, I won't bully you."

As he spoke, he took the cup of wine prepared on the table, poured the cup and drank slowly by himself.He didn't know what was thinking in his heart, the more he drank, the sadder he became, and finally he couldn't help but shed tears.Zheng Wei'er sat on the edge of the bed and looked at him blankly, saying that if you don't do this, I won't soften my heart.

Fan An didn't reply, he got up suddenly, went to the door, pulled the latch and walked out.There was wind outside the porch, so he sat on the railing at the door, holding a jug in one hand, and looked up at the colorful silks in the courtyard.

"My lord?" Yuanzhu saw him from a distance outside the corridor, lowered his voice and hurried over, "Why are you sitting here? Go back to your room!" Fan An looked at him and said, "I'm afraid I'll be scared Miss Zheng, I won't go back to my room tonight."

Yuanzhu knew that he was so drunk that he could no longer reason, so he went up the steps and pulled his sleeves and walked into the room, and said softly: "The people in Zheng's mansion are still sleeping in the courtyard, if they find out, my lord, you can go tonight." If you are not in the wedding room, if you tell the people in the Zheng residence, wouldn't you be ashamed?"

"I won't go back to the room!" Fan An broke Yuanzhu away with one hand, he was really drunk at the moment, and said, "You all force me! It's like this, I might as well go far away!" After he finished speaking, he staggered He walked forward a few steps, turned a corner and went to the stables in the backyard.

Yuan Zhu was so anxious that he was sweating. He tugged on Fan An's sleeve and asked, "What are you doing, my lord? Where are you going?!"

Fan An said: "I'll go find Master Li!"

"What is Mr. Li?" Yuan Zhu said, "My lord, today is your big day, a moment of spring festival is worth a thousand gold, Miss Zheng is waiting for you! You can't go anywhere!" The two of them had already reached the side of the stable while chatting , Fan An's two grooms were sleeping in the side room, they heard footsteps and came out to look, just in time to see Fan An push Yuanzhu away.

Fan An led the horse out when he went alone, and went to the back door half drunk.

The two grooms opened their eyes wide. They were about to call out, but Yuan Zhu covered their mouths. "Don't call! My lord refuses to enter the room. There is a lot of commotion. What should I do if I wake up the people in the Zheng residence in the side courtyard?" Yuan Zhu said, "Just let him go out, and you two will follow him for a couple of days He sobered up in an hour, and it made sense, then bring him back."

Fan An's mind has always been one-sided, and now he is dragging him back, and he will inevitably cry and struggle. It is rumored that Mr. Fan cried and refused to consummate the house on his wedding night. Wouldn't Zheng Fan be lost? The faces of the two families?

After listening to Yuan Zhu's words, the two led the horse and followed Fan Fa out of the mansion quietly.

Fan An went out the back door, got on his horse and headed out of the city.Two grooms rode behind him and followed him, one of them asked, "Where are you going, sir? Could it be Zhu Yan's residence in the western suburbs?"

"Which time did my lord go out of the city not for him?" Another person said, "It must be that the daughter of the Zheng family is shabby, and my lord is not happy to see her, so she wants to find her old friend while drinking..."

But the other party is, after all, the daughter of Zheng's command history, and it would be boring to have an affair at this point.

70.H

The two guessed correctly, Fan An went out of the city to Zhu Yan's residence in the western suburbs.It was midnight, and he couldn't tell his fingers in the dark. Fan An was so drunk that he couldn't keep his figure while riding a horse, but he remembered this road very clearly, and he didn't take a wrong fork.He walked the small road thousands of times in his heart, and it was deeply imprinted in his mind. Even if one day he even forgot his real name, he would never forget this way home.

He walked this road for two hours today, during which time he got off his horse and vomited three times. When the groom who was waiting behind guessed whether he was already sober, Fan An had already arrived at Zhu Yan's door.

Fan An lay on the wooden door reeking of alcohol, raised his hand to grab the brass ring on it and knocked.There was no response from inside, so he familiarly touched the corner of the wall by the door, grabbed the vines and climbed over the wall to enter.In the height of autumn, the vines on the wall bloomed with white flowers, and the lush branches entangled Fan An's hair. Fan An tugged and threw away the jade crown that bound his hair.

He stumbled to the door of the room and slammed it hard, but after a while, the door opened, and when he looked up, it was indeed Li Jianbi's face.Fan An was dressed in a blood-red robe, with jet-black hair loose, and a snow-white complexion. Under the moonlight, his eyes were as cold as a vulture, like a debt collector walking out of a ghost book.

Li Jianbi was taken aback by him, and it took him a long time to react. "Fan Pingqiu..." He calmed down, tried his best to smile and said, "You're thin..." Before he finished speaking, Fan An stepped forward and hugged him.

Li Jianbi smelled the strong smell of alcohol on his body,
