The Sheng family guarded the stage.
"Mr. Zhao, I'm sorry to trouble you." Zhu Yunluo entrusted Zhao Wei with the newly harvested aphrodisiac fruits and medicinal materials, and took out a small casserole from the basket: "Last time you said that the braised pork I made was delicious. This time I did more every time.”
Zhao Wei took the warm casserole, thanked him with a smile, and took out the hairpin he had prepared for a long time from his arms with one hand. His smile was a little awkward because of his nervousness: "Miss Yunluo, please accept this gift. "
In his hand is a peach blossom hairpin with long tassels. The workmanship is fine and elegant, and it is very beautiful.
Zhu Yunluo had received gifts from him in the past, which were nothing more than daily necessities such as tea leaves, soybean oil, etc. But today's hairpin obviously had some other meaning and was not suitable for her to accept.
"I..." She took a step back slightly and said with an apologetic smile: "I heard from Mr. Sheng that Mr. Zhao has a fiancée who is married to her fingertips. I cannot accept this hairpin."
Zhao Wei's hand stretched out in the air was a little stiff: "Hey, senior brother, why are you talking to you about this? Besides, I have neither seen her nor know her. I just mentioned it casually from my parents. Why can't you accept this hairpin?"
Ignoring Zhu Yunluo's refusal, he directly put the hairpin into her hand: "Yunluo, take it. I, I don't have any other intention. I just see that your hair is empty and you always wear this wooden hairpin. It will look good if you wear it again from now on."
Zhu Yunluo was stunned and had no choice but to say thank you.
After she delivered the medicine and left, Sheng Zijing went to the guard station to ask questions. He called Zhao Wei several times but refused to answer. This guy was smiling silly at the sky, looking like he was in a particularly good mood. The disciples in the garrison were talking incessantly, and Sheng Zijing had no intention of paying attention to it, but the sound of their discussion was so loud that even he, who was hard of hearing, listened:
"It's been very lively in Yichuan recently. The list of people who have passed the literary test has come out. There are nearly half a hundred people, which is much more than expected! Miss Su is indeed one of the best in the world, a beauty with both talent and appearance. The competition is really fierce. Tomorrow Let’s start the martial arts competition!”
"I know, I know. In addition to famous monastic families and scholarly families, there are also many people from Jianghu. There are quite a few people from the Jiangnan martial arts gang who have passed through. Young sons from small families such as Shujia and Bin are all there. Even Milu The head of Gu's family who has a child has all joined in the fun, and the bachelor warriors in their thirties from the Zhan family also want to eat young grass!"
"Who are they? These are all! I'm afraid they won't pass the first screening!"
"It's a pity that we are far away and can't catch up with the excitement. The bets on the other end of Jiaxi are really strong. The people my junior brother mentioned just now are all low-class people. Except for Gong Lianxue of the Gong family, the young masters who are both civil and military have all talents. , his cultivation level is not low; there is also Yan Tingshen who is from a humble background but has a good reputation; however, there are quite a lot of people betting on Min Yuyan, and they all think that he is a dark horse, and he is second in the literary test, how about we Let’s have a bet, who will be the final winner?”
"Just bet! I'll bet half a month's reward!"
"Is there any more news? Just rule out the low-level ones."
Sheng Zijing listened for a long time and walked straight over: "What are you talking about?"
All the disciples were shocked: "Second Young Master!"
Another said: "We, we didn't bet..."
A disciple next to him secretly poked and pinched him, lowering his voice: "Really, do you have any brains! What are you talking about? Talk about something! Talk about something!"
The other one who was more clever hurriedly said: "Young Master, yes, she is the eldest lady of the Suzena tribe. She is competing in martial arts to find a bride. We are just here to guess and play out of curiosity."
"Recruiting a bride?" Sheng Zijing asked lightly, "Is she the eldest daughter of the Su family?"
"Yes, you can't be wrong, it's the famous Miss Su Fuxiao Su."
He changed the topic coldly: "Private gambling gatherings are prohibited in the sect, you know that."
All the disciples took a breath and said one after another: "Yes, Young Master." After saying that, they quickly left in front of him, for fear of being punished.
His ears suddenly became quiet, but Sheng Zijing's heart could not be calm for a long time.
Will Su Liming choose to marry her in the end?
Wu Nong's soft words in the young ears sounded mixed with vague memories:
"Brother Axi, I will only marry you in this life, and I will never marry anyone else until I die."
"So, when I grow up, can you marry me?"
The girl's eyes are light and her smile is gentle, but she has countless spring moments. He was very affectionate at that time, held her hand and agreed.
He thought he would do it. Even if there was enmity between the two clans, he would choose her from beginning to end.
But it was she who made the promise, she was the one who disliked him first, and she was the one who got married before him.
At that time, Sheng Zijing asked himself countless times. When the admiration in her eyes turned into suspicion, and she tentatively asked him if he would become deaf, how would he respond to her?
Yes or no, he couldn't tell.
He discovered that all her love was only brought about by admiration and admiration. At that moment, he felt despair. It's only a matter of time before she collapses. After that, the suspicion in her eyes will turn into disgust sooner or later, right?
After the mutual neglect and alienation, everything before became poisonous to the bones. This was what Su Liming left to him.
She was stuck in an old relationship for a long time and didn't want to end it. When he completely pulled away and sobered up, he would only regard her feelings as a burden.
But when I heard the news that she was getting married, the first thing I remembered was the promise to stay with her.
Sheng Zijing closed his eyes tightly. Of course, he would not be so impulsive as to run to the Su family's marriage ring to fight for her. They were over long ago, and it was over when he made up his mind to leave.
But he was going to the wedding banquet, not as Sheng Zijing, but as the young master of the Sheng family.
*
When Qiong Yi and Sheng Xuanyuan arrived at Jiaxi, it was the last scene of the martial arts contest to recruit a bride.
Yan Ting looked deeply at Su Liming in the center of the audience, raised his peach blossom eyes and smiled softly at her, saying with his lips: I will not lose.
Just like when Sect Master Su decided to recruit a bride and asked him if he was confident that he could marry his daughter, he just smiled and said: Even if I risk my life for Dawn, I will win.
The final opponent is a young man named Min Yuyan. He studied in the Guangyao Sect when he was young. After enlightenment, he left the sect early to start his own life. Now he does not belong to any sect and is considered a wanderer.
The battle lasted for half an hour, and the ten-foot-high platform built of solid wood was almost torn apart by the two of them. Yan Ting won a thrilling victory. The moment Min Yuyan showed his flaw, he knocked down his magic weapon and became the king of the ring. In the end, the winner half-stepped into the door of the Su family's mansion.
Su announced that the marriage search was over and the wedding would be held three days later.
Yan Tingshen walked down from the ring and was led to the Su family's house by the servants. Su Liming met him and hugged him. Behind Su Liming, stood his friends who came from afar to celebrate. The meeting of friends was more enthusiastic than expected. Su Ye hooked up with each other. Qiong Yi and Sheng Xuanyuan congratulated the newlyweds. After greetings, Su Ye took everyone to have a drink and chatted heartily. Qiong also told everyone about Yuyou's adventures and interesting things one by one, and did not return home happily until late at night.
Three days later, there was a wedding in the Su family's house.
Jiaxi City was decorated with lights and colorful decorations everywhere, and the celebration was extremely festive. Not only did the Su family rent out several restaurants in the city, and invited people from the Jianghu who came to compete here to have a drink, the house was even more lively, inviting the five ethnic groups and famous families from China. Countless homes.
The bride is putting on her makeup in the boudoir, and the groom is waiting in the pavilion for her to finish her makeup and leave the pavilion. Qiong was not a close friend of Su Liming, so she waited outside with the groom. Yan Tingshen would tuck his clothes from time to time, hold his crown, and ask his friends if their clothes were messy and their posture was inappropriate. Su Ye was asked no less than four or five times by him. He put his hands on his hips and said with a smile: "Oh, it's not a mess, it's really not a mess! If you don't believe me, just ask Sheng Xuanyuan. He is sincere and I can't coax you."
Seeing that the time was almost up, Su Ye said, "I'm going to pick up my sister. Please be ready when the joy comes."
Sheng Xuanyuan waved his hand and asked him to go quickly. Qiong Yi smiled deeply and said to Yan Ting: "Brother Yan, relax, you look so handsome when you wear this golden red robe today. When Miss Su comes later, you can hold her hand with her." Wear this red silk and go to Uncle Su to worship." She gestured while holding a big red concentric flower ball.
Sheng Xuanyuan also said: "I have never seen Brother Yan so nervous in the past, but today is the first time." He also said: "The crown is clean and the clothes are neat. If you move any more, it will be wrong."
Yan Tingshen retracted his hand, his face flushed: "Xuanyuan will also make fun of others. Did she lead her away after traveling with Qiong Yiyun for several years?" He said jokingly: "I see you are also a groom, so you know why you are sitting here It’s hard to settle down.”
Qiong Yi curled her lips, and while they were talking and laughing, joy was playing in the courtyard, and the gongs and drums were singing happily. Su Liming was dressed in a red and gold-woven wedding dress, and was supported by her friends, walking lightly in lotus steps. Move, the fragrant wind blows on your face.
Yan Ting watched her approach in a daze, and it was not until Qiong Yi put the red scarf into his hand that he came back to his senses. Su Liming held the other end of the red scarf, and the two of them held the flower ball together, which meant that husband and wife walked together with one heart. Amidst the sound of joy, the newlyweds walked slowly to the main hall. Su Min sat in the hall and looked at his daughter and son-in-law in front of him, with peaceful eyes. Following the shout of the master of ceremonies, the two of them bowed: "Bow down to heaven and earth——"
Yan Tingshen supported Su Liming and knelt down to worship heaven and earth.
"Two bows to the high hall——"
After getting up, he bowed to Su Min who was above the high hall.
"Husband and wife pay homage——"
Yan Tingshen let go of his hand and turned to look at her. The person in front of him had a phoenix-patterned scarf on his head. What was his expression underneath the scarf?
Su Mingxiao slowly leaned over. There was only a red curtain in front of her, and the black boots of her wedding dress were faintly visible. From this moment on, the person worshiping her was her husband and Taoist companion. Through the red curtain, she felt what she was looking forward to in her heart. who is it.
"Send it to the bridal chamber!——"
The wedding money and confetti fell one after another, the sound of the suona became louder and louder, and there were endless congratulations and applause. Yan Ting helped her with a deep smile and walked amidst the crowds and cheers.
"Congratulations."
The very soft sound of two words was mixed in the human voice, passing by her side like an understatement, and penetrated into the red hijab. Su Liming paused in her steps, and in an instant, tears rolled down her face.
It's his voice.
Outside the hijab, there are people she thought she had forgotten, people she really met, people she could not save, but Su Liming did not have the courage to take off the hijab, and she did not even dare to let the groom beside her notice her. The emotion was abnormal, and the tears rolled onto the red scarf, leaving two deep marks.
Yan Tingshen was as thoughtful as he was, so how could he not see her tears? However, he pretended to be nothing and smiled back at the congratulators, and helped Su Liming into the new house together. Outside the room, gongs and drums were still playing and singing, and everyone was invited They went to the banquet in front of the courtyard and had wedding wine, leaving only the two of them.
Yan Tingshen took off her hijab. Under the red cloth, Su Liming's eyelashes were lowered, and she had a face full of pear blossoms and rain.
There was no emotion in his eyes, he threw the hijab to the ground casually, and just said: "You go ahead and cry."
Su Liming took a breath, carefully wiped away her tears with her fingertips, and shook her head.
"I saw it." Yan Tingshen said calmly: "He is here."
"So you can cry if you want."
After saying this, he opened the door to leave, then looked back and said, "I'll ask my servants to bring food later." After that, he closed the door lightly.
