The country is not as pretty as the beauty

Xue Li glanced at the bow. It was indeed a good bow. He picked up the feathered arrows that had been set aside, drew three arrows, and drew the bow fully. Concentrate, the arrow is very powerful, and the arrow flies out in a decisive moment, but there seems to be no arrow on the target.

"I thought Xue Li would be so amazing, but I didn't expect it to be like this!"

It caused a burst of laughter, and then he was checked by someone. When he came back, he was a little trembling, with a bitter face.

"Lang Jun, all three arrows hit the bull's-eye and passed through the heart. The arrows shot into the partition wall of the south alley...we couldn't pull them out."

Liu Xiang was very surprised, but also a little disbelieving, so he took a group of people to see it in person, and it was true.

Liu Xiang was a little embarrassed, he who has always been known as a sharp shooter did not expect to stumble with Xue Li.

"Acceptance, next..."

"I admit defeat in the martial arts test, there is no need to compete!"

Liu Xiang's words made several people even more surprised: "Second brother, there is one more thing, Xue Li is only about archery, but about martial arts."

"Needless to say, for me, Liu Xiang, if I lose one item, I lose!"

Liu Xuan had no choice but to stop talking

"I don't know how you guys want to compare in the essay test. It's getting late, and I hope you brothers can make a quick decision."

"Okay, how about taking the poetry test if the North Country is famous for its poems?" Liu Xuan asked Xue Li's attitude confidently, but the onlookers whispered. A native of the state, he served as the Minister of Zhongshu in the court, and his status in the Liu family can be imagined.

Everyone in Xue's mansion was waiting for the bridegroom to come to welcome the bride, but they couldn't wait for a long time.

Liu Zhao was a little annoyed, most of the people present today were princes and nobles, as well as members of the Liu family with high status, but Liu Zhao was rude.

"Housekeeper, butler!" Liu Zhao shouted back in the back hall.

"Ah Lang." The butler of the Liu family was busy and rushed over when he heard Liu Zhao's call.

"Hurry up and find some people, go and see what the hell that Xue Li is up to, what time is it!"

"only!"

The temperature in Yuyang at dusk has been greatly reduced, and there is more coldness from the north wind. The literary test is more important than poetry, and Xue Li is in a hurry. He wanted to write a poem quickly. The butler of the Liu Mansion is here. up.

"Mr. Lang, this is going to miss the auspicious time. Ah Lang is getting angry at entertaining guests."

Liu Xuan and the others looked at the sky, they knew that the delay was too long, they couldn't get Xue Li to retreat after knowing the difficulties, but would embarrass the Liu family, so they let Xue Li pass.

"Thank you!" Xue Li got on his horse and walked forward.

Immediately he sat on the white horse, and the women in the attics and buildings on both sides of the street looked at Xue Li with winks, but he never even glanced at them.

Xue Li dismounted in front of the gate of the Liu Mansion, and led everyone into the Liu Mansion. Although Xue Li did not know many people, he guessed their status in the Liu family by looking at their clothes, and bowed one by one.

Logically, when making a marriage contract, both parties need to know the elders of each other's family, but Xue Li doesn't know anyone except a few important members of the Xue family. Liu Huan once wanted to bring Xue Li to visit one by one, but everyone in the Liu family The elders are either far away, or they just disdain and refuse to meet them.

"Liu San, your son-in-law is really handsome. If he is placed in Hedong, he will be more than just a girl from the family. I'm afraid many girls will like it."

Liu Shuang is Liu Zhao's elder cousin, and Liu Shuang was called that because Liu Zhao was the third eldest in the direct lineage. In terms of status, the status of the Liu family in the northern clan has been shaken, and there are very few people in the court. Liu Shuang has already achieved Zhongshu An official of the third rank of servant, his status should not be underestimated in the Liu family.

"My little girl's own opinion, I don't want to interfere, thanks to the elders of the Liu family who value it!"

"If it wasn't for Huan'er's begging, how could I find time to come here? The Liu family's status is already like this. Liu San, Liu San, how can you let Huan'er mess around like this."

Liu Zhao was blushed by what the great elder said. Several elders with high seniority had come to the Liu residence, but many people still did not recognize the wedding from the bottom of their hearts.

"Liu Yushi, how can you do this in front of your son-in-law? Moreover, the marriage contract was with Mr. Liu. Haven't you ever thought about whether Xue Li wants to marry him or not?"

Liu Yushi, Liu Fan, the son of Liu Heng, an old minister of the Liang Dynasty, and the elder brother of Liu Zhao's clan.

The Pei family and the Xue family in Hedong are both from Jiangzhou. Pei Guangting is the grandson of Pei Renji, Minister of the Ministry of War of the Liang Dynasty, and the son of Pei Xingjian, the general of the right guard. Liang Wang's daughter is his wife, she is young, and she has been promoted all the way in the officialdom.

Xue Li stood there respectfully, listening to the conversation of the elders, she didn't debate those accusations too much, but kept it in her heart, she wanted to stand out.

"Okay, it's getting late, let's go in!"

As time dragged on and saw that the sun was going to set, Liu Fan and his party let Xue Li go in to meet Liu Huan.

Although Xue Li was a little dissatisfied in his heart, he also admitted the fact, returned the salute respectfully, and went to the back room of Liu's mansion.

The north of the first lunar month is very dry, and the cold wind blowing in makes her face frozen and stiff. Xue Li is also like this, her face is flushed. On the day of her wedding, she was in a complicated mood. , and herself, the deal is done, she can only accept and obey the arrangement of heaven.

When she arrived at the door, she often came to this attic and this courtyard, but this time she didn't want to go in. The maid guarding the door was very puzzled, why didn't the lady go in even though she was inside.

Hearing the voice, Xue Li smiled awkwardly and pushed the door open.

Liu Huan couldn't wait for Xue Li to come, so she was chatting with her mother, and when she heard the doorbell, her heart beat faster for no reason.

"Here we come!" Mother Liu yelled and walked towards the door.

"Your Xue family doesn't pay much attention to it. Tell me, how long has it been since the wedding day?"

Mother Liu was full of complaints, and Xue Li took a look and pretended not to care. Xue Li had been annoyed since he started here, but fortunately his temper was calm, and he didn't care too much about Mother Liu's disdain.

"Xue Li is late, I know I made a mistake, I hope my mother will punish me!"

Mother Liu shook her head: "That's all, they are all about to start a family. I just hope that you can treat my daughter well, so that you can get a good reputation in the future and live up to the Liu family's expectations of you."

"Xue Li understands"

Mother Liu looked at Liu Huan, walked over and led her to Xue Li, facing the woman in the same color as her, Xue Li panicked.

But most of it was excitement, he knew that there was a marriage contract, but he never thought that he could marry her as he wished, in terms of clan marriage, Liu Huan was the proud son of heaven, and he was just a servant of his family. Looking at the familiar person in front of him.

This is the first time for her to be dressed in a red dress. Liu Huan doesn't like heavy makeup, she wears some light makeup on weekdays, simple has the beauty of simplicity, and gorgeous has the beauty of glamour, so it doesn't matter if it's human beauty, Xue Li stared blankly at this glance.

"Why did it scare you?" Liu Huan smiled while stroking Xue Li's tanned cheeks. Normally, Xue Li's clothes were very simple cloth shirts, but Liu Huan was really surprised by today's gorgeous clothes. .

Only then did Xue Li react, and his face turned red up to the base of his ears.

Liu Huan said again distressed: "The weather is cold, thank you for your hard work."

Xue Li shook his head and carefully took Liu Huan's hand: "Sorry for being late."

Liu Huan squinted her eyes and shook her head. No one else knew the reason, but Liu Huan knew that she knew Xue Li very well, and she would not delay coming here for no reason. Someone in the Liu family must have made things difficult for him on the way.

Liu Huan came down from the boudoir, and the servants on the way were a little moved when they saw it. Normally, the youngest lady in Liu's mansion was the best to others. The most popular master among the Liu family's servants.

Passing through the hall full of people, many noble children looked at Xue Li with jealousy. The beauty of Liu Huan is so beautiful that many people are probably thinking about it today.

However, if Xue Li were to say that he was being pissed off every day today, it would be this moment that made Xue Li the most happy. In the eyes of others, people who are hard to come by, people who can't be found even after a long time, but he, Xue Li, is the one who got it. Did you deliver it yourself?Maybe not, Xue Li still likes Liu Huan, but he is more envious. The nobles in Guanlong have no worries about food and clothing, can live a stable life, and can even decide their own marriage.But Xue Li couldn't, carrying the family's hope, the Xue family hoped that he would marry the Liu family, so that the Liu family would definitely help Xue Li politically, and finally Xue Li also married Liu Huan as he wished, but he was more because of the marriage contract , mixed with liking, or because of Liu Huan's persistence, but he didn't want to rely on the influence of the Liu family to make himself famous. He just wanted to rely on himself and didn't want to listen to gossip behind his back.

Xue Li has always been a very strong person.

It is not far from Zezhou to Jiangzhou, but it was already sunset and the weather turned cold when we set off. The hands of the eight people who carried the sedan chair were already frozen and their bodies were cold. But for the generous gift money, they were willing to do so, because they were all from The poor under the gentry.

It was okay for Liu Huan to sit in the sedan chair, the wind could not blow, Xue Li guessed before going out that he would not be there on time, and the Liu family would not give up, so they prepared thick cotton wool in the sedan chair, so Liu Huan The moment I entered, I felt a little warm in my heart, and my choice must not be wrong.

When the bride enters the sedan chair, the bride's family will let a large group of people dance around the sedan chair. This is a custom. The three books and six rituals have saved a lot, but there should be something that should be there.

After seeing off the bride, some people were happy, some were sad, and some were reluctant in the whole of Liu's mansion, but so what.

Liu Zhao comforted Liu Mu who was still crying: "My daughter will marry when she grows up."

Whether it is climate or wind and rain, the gap between the north and the south is very large. The north is dry and cold, the south is wet and cold, and the south is rainy and sunny. The architecture in the north is a bit more artistic than the previous dynasties. Formed, large attics are generally only owned by wealthy families, and they are for showing off their family background.

Xue Li's family originally had an official residence and their own house. After Xue Li's father died, the family had no source of income, so Xue's mother sold the house and moved into an ordinary house. The money from the sale of the house was used for Xue Li's education. Practice martial arts.

The wind blowing Xue Li was a little shivering, trembling his body, but the road had to continue. Fortunately, it has not snowed these few days, otherwise how can this road be walked.
