Get on the wrong sedan chair and marry the right wolf

Jinling City, General's Mansion

Outside the general's mansion, which was hung with colorful silks, a group of spectators had already gathered. More than a dozen horse-drawn carriages were parked beside the gate. Officials and their families who came to congratulate him had already been waiting in the mansion for a long time.

"The sedan chair is here~~"

"Pick up the bride, pick up the bride~"

"Pick up the bride!"

The praisers who had been watching at the door watched the bridal sedan walk to the door with joy on their faces, and sang loudly: "My beloved shoots arrows three times."

The crowd around heard the words, and they all knew that this was the residence of the General of the Twelve Guards, but no one was lucky enough to see the general's demeanor on the battlefield.Unexpectedly, today I was able to see the general shoot arrows with my own eyes. This exciting trip was really worth watching.

Before the bride gets off the sedan chair, the groom needs to draw a bow and shoot three red arrows at the sedan chair door to drive away the dirt that the bride has picked up on the way from her mother's house to her husband's house.Wei Yueyan took the flower-headed bow and arrow from his entourage, and when he got off the horse, the arrow was already stringed, and he aimed at the sedan chair door with a beautiful full string.

"Wait a minute." A thick male voice came, Wei Yueyan froze and looked at the source of the voice together with everyone.

The man had black hair and a silver crown, and was dressed in a blue Confucian shirt, but it was hard to hide the official look between his eyebrows.Wei Yueyan's eyes darkened, this person is called Hangshi Chengguan Baizheng Fourth Rank, he is a capable person of Qu Quan's school, unexpectedly Qu Quan would make trouble for her on the day of marriage.

"Since it is to ward off disasters and evil spirits, this flower-headed arrow is definitely not as useful as a real bow and arrow. I heard that your lord is very good at archery, why don't you let us open our eyes today?" Hang Shicheng bowed his hands and lowered his eyebrows, as if arrogant in his tone There is no general.

"Hang Shicheng, are you looking for trouble?" Wei Yueyan frowned, and the arrow that was pointing at the sedan chair turned to point at the guy who didn't know what to do, "I don't have eyes for this arrow, so don't blame me if I accidentally married you .”

As soon as this remark came out, the audience was in an uproar. According to the custom, the flower-headed arrow only shoots at the bride. General Wei's counterattack is really interesting.Not only did she save her own face, but she also left a step for the other party, and at the same time, it would not affect the atmosphere of her big day.

Hang Shicheng waved his hand unhurriedly, "My lord is joking, but I just think that the flower-headed arrow is too gentle. Your Madam came all the way from Wu County in the south of the Yangtze River and traveled thousands of miles. Although there is a god of joy to protect her body, she still needs to protect her body." It’s better to be cautious. My lord uses real bows and real arrows instead of flower-headed arrows. Not only will it be more infallible on the original basis, but it will also let the people of Jinling see your master’s skills. Isn’t it killing two birds with one stone?”

The teasing meaning in these words even Ling Qiufan who was sitting in the sedan chair frowned slightly, since ancient times, arrows with flower heads were used to welcome the bride to get off the sedan chair, how can there be a real bow and arrow?What's more, the person she married was Qu Quan, Minister of the Ministry of Punishment. Few of the civil servants were good at riding and shooting.Hang Shicheng didn't feel ashamed when he made such a request?

Realizing that he was angry because of a person he had never met, Ling Qiufan was very surprised.She controlled her strange emotions and concentrated on listening to the movement outside the car.

But she heard nothing.Gradually, the remaining anger was transformed into cold little by little, aiming at the position of the heart and eroding it inch by inch.In fact, Hang Shicheng's words contained some disrespect towards her.Traveling thousands of miles across mountains and rivers, it is not conclusive whether or not you will get into trouble with evil things.But the person who was supposed to protect his wife didn't say a word of defense for himself. That person focused on controlling the situation and planned everything, except for his own reputation as a newlywed.

Ling Qiufan lowered his head slowly, and slightly pursed his lips that had been painted with golden flower rouge.He quietly hid his disappointment with his newlywed.

Suddenly, three gusts of "swish, swish" came to my ears, and the dull sound of sharp arrows piercing the wood was heard only for a moment.The force was so great that Ling Qiufan, who was sitting upright in the sedan chair, felt the aftershock at the arrow's tail and the remaining sound of the arrow.

She actually took a real arrow!

Ling Qiufan bit his lower lip tightly, he didn't even notice that his nails were embedded in the apple, his heart was full of worries about his future life.The more noisy and lively the environment is, the more desolate my heart is. It is ridiculous that there is a puddle of ice water in the middle of the bubbling boiling water.

After Wei Yueyan shot three arrows, she casually threw the bow and arrow to the soldiers who accompanied her to welcome her, and walked forward with her hands behind her back without even looking at Hang Shicheng.Matchmaker Zhang who was waiting on the side of the sedan chair quickly stopped her, Wei Yueyan glanced at her, took out the big red envelope of Xie Matchmaker from the lapel of her clothes and handed it to her, bent over to open the sedan chair curtain.

"Oh my lord, don't worry." Matchmaker Zhang squinted her eyes, which were no longer smiling, and waved the silk handkerchief in her hand, "When the bride gets out of the sedan chair, she has to step over the brazier first, so I can't just lead her away like this, and the embroidered shoes don't get stained. Ni, you want to enter the hall, but we need our mother-in-law to carry it in~~"

Speaking of which, a burning brazier was placed in front of the sedan chair curtain to block Ling Qiufan's way out of the sedan chair. She lifted her veil slightly and glanced at the ground at the sedan chair door. Pale.In order to avoid being burned, the bottom of the car curtain has been lifted slightly, and from her angle, she can clearly see the red iron carbon burned in the brazier.Ling Qiufan, who was pampered and pampered since she was a child, has never encountered such a thing. The apple in her hand has been scratched and pitted. She can't imagine the situation of herself stepping over it. Jump.

Just when she began to try to persuade herself to be bolder, it was nothing more than a brazier, the car curtain was forcefully lifted, and the light from the outside shone into the dim sedan chair for a moment.The light was diluted several degrees by the red silk covering the head, so it didn't make people feel glaring.However, this sudden change caused Ling Qiufan to panic. Just when she thought she was about to be dragged across the brazier by this bad-tempered Lord Shangshu, she suddenly lightened up and was hugged by someone Get up!

This embrace is not as majestic as a man's, but it has an inexplicable sense of solidity, which makes people want to indulge in it involuntarily.

In the twilight, in front of the General's Mansion.

She was hugged tightly in her arms, and the surrounding uproar could not be heard, only one sentence from her——

"From today onwards, Miss Ling is my wife. It's okay for me to cross this brazier on her behalf."

Jinling City, Shangshu Mansion

"The bridal sedan chair arrives——"

"Pick up the bride——"

As the praisers chanted and shouted loudly, the mighty welcoming team gradually stopped in front of the Shangshu Mansion.

"My lord, please dismount." The steward of the Shangshu Mansion, who had been waiting for a long time, called to the left and right servants to help Qu Quan dismount, and when Qu Quan was ready, the praiser shouted loudly again.

"Welcome the bride out of the sedan chair——"

The people of Jinling, who were watching the excitement outside Shangshu's mansion, were all thronging and excited.The family members of officials, big and small, and famous families who were already waiting for congratulations in Shangshu's mansion also came out following the sound, wanting to have a sneak peek.Amidst the tide of discussion, four bearers came forward from behind, and easily removed the four corner buckles of the sedan chair door.The beautiful bride with a red hijab dressed up is sitting in the sedan chair as quietly as a maiden. Even though the hijab has not been removed, the praises from all around are like Jiang Tao, deafening and endless.

"..." Ling Xueji slandered wildly when she heard those words that boasted about her.Unexpectedly, this General Wei is so popular, he can be praised as a fairy by them just by seeing the light, as if everyone has a pair of clairvoyant eyes, and can see her face directly through the red hijab.

Qu Quan has been standing in front of Shangshu's mansion since she dismounted from her horse, waiting with a smile on her face, and she naturally heard the compliments to the bride around her.Unlike Ling Xueji, she didn't even slander her.After all, this kind of thing that starts to praise the bride for how beautiful she is and how she loses a wild goose before taking off her hijab, even if her skin is as thick as a city wall, she will never say it.

Ha ha, after all, normal people cannot defeat a group of actors.

While thinking about it, an old woman led a well-dressed doll all the way to the sedan chair.In the customs of getting married in the current dynasty, this kind of baby is called "the little girl who is out of the sedan chair". If the bride wants to go out of the sedan chair to visit the hall, the girl who is out of the sedan chair has to pull her sleeves three times with her little hand before she can get out of the sedan chair.

Ling Xueji was led by the lady who was out of the sedan chair to the door of Shangshu's mansion, and there was a soft and slippery silk ribbon in her hand, one end was pinched at her place, and it was self-evident whose place the other end was at.Qu Quan straightened his back and walked ahead, Ling Xueji followed closely.As soon as the two of them stepped through the gate of Shangshu Mansion, a stone pier about half a horse high was lifted and placed in front of Ling Xueji. Before she could figure out what was going on, the servants brought another The wooden saddle is placed on the stone pier, and a bright red apple is placed on the seat of the saddle.

"Saddle" has the same pronunciation as "An" in "Ping An". The ancients took it as a good idea of ​​peace and longevity, and crossing the saddle means a lifetime of peace.After the bride enters the gate of her husband's house, she must first step over the saddle before she can go to worship heaven and earth.It's just that the saddle that the official's family has to ride to marry a wife is much higher than that of ordinary people to marry a wife.

"The bride astride the saddle—"

After the praisers shouted loudly, Qu Quan leaned slightly to the side.With Xi Niang's support, Ling Xueji carefully climbed onto the stone pier, and after standing firmly, he raised his foot and slowly stepped over the saddle, and then kicked the apple down with his heel under Xi Niang's low voice guidance.

Just as the knee stretched and retracted, a burst of numbness climbed up Ling Xueji's knee, and the entire calf instantly lost strength.That place hurts!Ling Xueji panicked and subconsciously wanted to pull his leg back and stand up straight. The left leg had just kicked the apple and it was still behind the saddle. This time he hurriedly retracted his leg, only to hear a muffled sound of "dong", and the calf bone was almost hit on the ground. On the richly decorated saddle!The old knee injury immediately relapsed, and Ling Xueji's body flickered and fell forward——

The expected pain didn't come, a piece of red silk with a ball hanging on it somehow stopped her in front of her to relieve some of the impact, and then someone stepped forward and took her firmly in his arms.
