"Ding ding dong dong~"
The raindrops hit the carved window lattice, and the sound was as clear as pearls falling to the ground.
With a thought in his mind, Wei Changtian summoned the red winged fish into the air.
"Yu girl, what on earth are you?"
"..."
"Can you understand what I'm saying?"
"..."
"Are you a living or dead creature?!"
"..."
"Nima!"
"..."
One person and one fish looked at each other with big eyes and small eyes. Wei Changtian's communication was fruitless, so he had no choice but to take the lucky fish back into his body's dantian.
If possible, he now really needs a "Instruction Manual for Traveling to Different Worlds".
But obviously there is no such thing, so everything can only be guessed.
It is detected that the host has no connection with the "way of heaven" in this world and cannot enjoy the luck bonus...
From the literal meaning, this sentence should mean that one's luck is not controlled by the "way of heaven" in this world.
To put it bluntly, no matter how much luck you plunder, it will not make your luck better.
The opposite is also true, your luck will not be too bad either.
This is actually quite consistent with Wei Changtian's experience after time travel.
Whether it was killing Xiao Feng or snatching some of the destiny from Shen Ran and Ning Yongnian, his luck was always good or bad and maintained at a very average level.
As for the reason... Needless to say, it must be because he came from time travel.
Thinking of this, Wei Changtian suddenly remembered the "Road to Heaven" in Tianluo Sect.
The Tianluo Sect disciple who took him in at that time once said that Tongtian Road tests "talent", not "talent".
Now that I think about it, this "talent" probably refers to "luck value".
And precisely because he is not under the control of heaven in this world at all, he is not affected by the Heavenly Road at all and can easily complete the three hundred steps.
"Um......"
Feeling that his guess was getting more reliable, Wei Changtian nodded with satisfaction, and then thought of a key question.
Not affected by heaven...is this a bad thing or a good thing?
"..."
Monk Hui'an of Fulian Temple once cursed himself that "good deeds and evil deeds will be rewarded," and he casually replied, "Everything depends on human effort."
At that time, Wei Changtian said this just because the old bald donkey was unhappy. He didn't know that his fate was really in his own hands.
But... I don't want to have it in my own hands!
Wei Changtian wailed in his heart.
If this thing hadn't happened, no matter what I do now, I would still be a child of top luck who can "get a chance to pee"!
Even if he is not as good as Xiao Feng, at least he is definitely better than Shen Ran and Ning Yongnian!
But now?
There is no doubt that it is completely impossible to "win in life".
Gan!
His mood suddenly became depressed. Wei Changtian was silent for a long time, and then turned to look out the window again.
It was raining heavily and it was completely white.
In the distance, there are bursts of green smoke rising into the sky. It should be that people are burning incense in the earth temple and praying to the earth god to show his spirit and stop the waterlogging.
...
...
The next day, the tenth day of April, Xiaoman.
Little full, little full, the river is getting full.
The saying that originally meant "good weather" seems to have become a curse for Shuzhou today.
However, to everyone's expectation, just when it was dawning, the heavy rain that had been falling for seven consecutive days stopped without any warning.
Soon, dawn appeared.
The morning sun instantly enveloped the earth, the sky was blue and the clouds were undulating, and the new red sun spared no effort to shine with all its glory, as if the heavy rain of the previous few days was fake.
"The rain has stopped!"
"God finally opened his eyes!"
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!"
"Gan, I finally stopped working for a few days..."
"..."
When the people noticed that the rain had stopped, they walked out of their homes one after another, stood on the still wet ground, looked up at the extremely kind Asahi, and kept thanking the gods.
At the same time, a mighty escorting procession also set off from Yongquan Lane in the west of the city, and escorted a sedan chair through the streets and alleys to the south of the city.
If it is a "wife-taking", the groom Wei Changtian should come to the house in person to welcome the bride.
However, there is no such term for "concubinage". The bride has to come to the house herself, and there is far less fanfare.
Of course, Wei Changtian didn't understand this.
He had only one request for this wedding from beginning to end - to be as grand and grand as the etiquette allowed!
That's why Li Suyue and Yuan'er arranged an eight-carriage sedan chair, as well as a singing troupe, music troupe and the like.
Except that there is no groom to welcome the bride, this scene is almost the same as marrying a wife.
"Huh? Whose happy event is this?"
"Don't you know? Mr. Wei is taking a concubine today!"
"Young Master Wei? Is that the Young Master Wei who killed Prime Minister Liu... no, killed Thief Liu?"
"Exactly!"
"Hey, I don't know whose girl is so unlucky... No, she's so lucky!"
"I heard that she seems to be a female servant of the Xuanjing Division. She looks pretty, but her kung fu is also very high!"
"Kung Fu? What Kung Fu are you referring to..."
"Huh? Brother, I felt something was wrong with you just now!"
"..."
There were nearly a hundred people in the long procession of sending off relatives, and wherever they went, they were surrounded by people watching the excitement.
The men would whisper a few words about Wei Changtian, while most of the women stared at the sedan with envy on their faces.
Many children followed the team to grab the lucky money, and occasionally adults also participated.
After all, unlike other people's ordinary happy coins, Wei Changtian's happy coins were genuine copper coins, and Zhang San would throw out at least a hundred coins every time he waved his hand.
The sounds of suonas, congratulations, and noises filled my ears.
Dressed in red and colorful, playing and playing, the journey is full of scenery.
It wasn't until Zhang San, who was standing on the carriage, threw out all the sacks of coins that the bride-to-be team arrived at their destination in a lively manner, and entered the courtyard from the main entrance under the delighted gaze of Wei Changtian, who had been waiting at the door.
The curtain of the sedan chair was opened, and Comrade Xiao Xu made a shining appearance.
Thick black hair is combed to the top of her head, and her hair is twisted into a bun like a dark cloud of snow. A long, valuable step is inserted neatly across it. The golden tassels will slightly follow Xu Qingwan's steps. Shaking, but not touching the latter's red cheeks.
"hiss......"
"Concubine" cannot wear a red hijab, so Xu Qingwan's current appearance, like a fairy descending to earth, was watched by the guests in the courtyard.
The people who came to congratulate him today were all people like Chu Xianping and Chen Bo who had known Wei Changtian for a long time. Naturally, they had all met Comrade Xiao Xu before, and some were even familiar with him.
It's just that Xu Qingwan has been working as an errand in the Xuanjing Division before, and she has always seemed heroic to outsiders. How have they ever seen her dressed so gracefully?
And once we see it today...
One word, absolutely!
"Suck~"
Swallowing calmly, Wei Changtian walked towards Xu Qingwan while shouting in his heart that not all the marketing methods of capitalists in his previous life were deceptive!
At the very least, a woman should indeed look the most beautiful in her life when she wears a wedding dress.
Of course, wearing a wedding dress several times is another matter.
"Wan'er."
Standing opposite Xu Qingwan, Wei Changtian sincerely praised: "You look so good today."
"Um......"
Comrade Xiao Xu's cheeks suddenly turned redder, and he didn't know what to say, so he just nodded innocently.
"Hahaha, let's go to the church."
Wei Changtian laughed dumbly and reached out to take Xu Qingwan's hand.
However, as the latter's little hand shrank back like an electric shock, he realized that he had been too excited for the moment and had forgotten Yuan'er's instructions yesterday -
Young Master, you must remember not to touch Miss Xu tomorrow until you enter the bridal chamber! Otherwise, others will laugh when they see it!
Even if the wedding ceremony is not over, Xu Qingwan is not his wife yet, so she must strictly abide by the rule of "no intimacy between men and women".
Although Comrade Wei Changtian and Comrade Xiao Xu even kissed each other in private, no one saw it, and no one else would know if they didn't tell them.
But now this is a "public place", and there are so many eyes watching every move of the two of them, so it is not appropriate to do this anymore.
Even if Wei Changtian doesn't care, others don't dare to say anything, but Xu Qingwan is still a decent girl, and there's no guarantee that people will gossip about her if word spreads about it in the future.
"Ahem, there's a weed on your sleeve."
With a dry cough, Wei Changtian patted Xu Qingwan's long sleeve with some embarrassment, brushed off the non-existent weed, and then tried to take his hand back.
But at this moment.
"Um?"
A warm, moist, and trembling little hand suddenly broke into the palm of his hand, and immediately grasped Wei Changtian's fingertips tightly.
Warmth is the rise in body temperature caused by shyness.
Moisture is caused by sweating in the palms due to nervousness.
Trembling is muscle spasm caused by anxiety.
But no matter how shy, nervous, and uneasy he was, between his own face and Wei Changtian's face, Comrade Xiao Xu chose the latter without hesitation.
"..."
After being stunned for a moment, Wei Changtian suddenly held Xu Qingwan's little hand back, and immediately walked towards the main hall decorated with lights and colorful lights in Yuan'er and Li Suyue's "desperate" eyes.
"Walk!"
"Go to the church!"
...
Similar to the previous life, the ritual of worshiping in this world is to bow three times.
One bow, heaven and earth.
Although the "heaven and earth" of this world not only did not help Wei Changtian, they even caused trouble for him all day long.
But Wei Changtian didn't come up with any fancy tricks like "God is nothing, I won't bow to you!" and bowed to the east honestly.
Second bow, high hall.
Compared with "worshiping heaven and earth", Wei Changtian was more willing to "worship Gaotang".
However, because both Wei Xianzhi and Qin Caizhen were still in the capital dealing with the "remnants" of the Liu family, Qin Zhengqiu could only sit in the upper position and accept the bows from Wei Changtian and Xu Qingwan.
Three greetings, husband and wife.
Wei Changtian had also gone through this step before when he married Lu Jingyao, but both of them were very perfunctory at the time. Those who knew it was the couple paying respects, and those who didn't knew thought they were nodding in greeting.
But towards Xu Qingwan, Wei Changtian definitely couldn't have such a perfunctory attitude.
They raised their hands to their chests and bowed seriously, but when they raised their heads, they accidentally bumped their foreheads.
"..."
Looking at the shy Comrade Xiao Xu, Wei Changtian felt that this time was not perfect, and asked in a low voice: "How about... we worship again?"
"ah?"
Xu Qingwan was stunned and nodded weakly: "Hmm, um..."
Without waiting for Chu Xianping, who was officiating, to speak, the two bowed to each other again, leaving everyone around them stunned.
Only Qin Zhengqiu, who was sitting in the main seat, nodded slightly and praised:
"Chang Tian is so diligent in improving himself!"
"good!"
...
After the worship service, the next program is dinner.
Although in the previous life, the newlyweds had to sit around the table for a toast, but according to the true etiquette, the bride was not allowed to show up during the feast. Instead, she had to go to the "bridal chamber" to wait for her husband.
Xu Qingwan quickly went to the newly decorated new house accompanied by Yuan'er.
Dozens of banquet tables in the courtyard also officially opened.
As the now unknown "King of Shuzhou", Wei Changtian's concubine only had dozens of banquets. This scene seemed a bit shabby.
But in fact, everyone who can come and have a sip of wine today are all famous people in Shuzhou.
And naturally these people cannot come empty-handed.
The long gift list was sent to Chu Xianping, who then selected dozens of "lucky ones" based on the value of the gifts to win the "honor" of having a drink with Wei Changtian.
Of course, Wei Changtian is a cultivator, so if he really wanted to drink, it would be no problem for everyone present to give him ten laps.
But you still have to take the shelf that needs to be taken.
According to Chu Xianping's words, this is called "the way of serving." Wei Changtian was too lazy to think about it. He drank with dozens of people according to the list provided by the former, and then returned to the main table to start drinking with Qin Zhengqiu and others.
The sun gradually set in the west, then completely fell into the sky.
Dozens of red lanterns are hung high, and the banquet starts at Shen Shi and ends at the end of Xu Shi.
There were no remnants of the Liu family who suddenly attacked, no sons of heaven coming to steal the wedding, and there were not even drunken guests. The normal banquet came to an end in a festive and harmonious atmosphere.
The only thing worthy of praise is that Yangliu Shi asked Wei Changtian to compose a poem. The latter waved his hand and recited four sentences casually——
Last night's stars and last night's wind were on the west side of the painting building and on the east side of Guitang.
There is no colorful phoenix flying wings in the body, but there is a clear understanding in the heart.
The most famous love poem by Li Shangyin, a specialist in "love poetry", is naturally of a very high standard.
As for people's reactions...
There is no doubt that everyone was shocked.
...
At the beginning of Haishi, the moon rises above the stars.
When Wei Changtian walked into the bridal chamber smelling of alcohol, Xu Qingwan was leaning on the table in her wedding robe and writing a letter seriously. She quickly put down her pen when she heard the noise.
"You, have you finished drinking?"
"Um."
Wei Changtian walked over and asked casually with a smile: "Who are you writing to? Your father and mother?"
"no."
Xu Qingwan answered honestly: "It's Zhou Cheng."
"What? Zhou Cheng???"
No, what's the point of writing a letter to another man on your wedding night?
Wei Changtian was stunned for a moment, but then he thought of something again, and asked tentatively in disbelief:
"You wrote to Zhou Cheng, could it be because of the twenty taels..."
"Um......"
Comrade Xiao Xu nodded sheepishly, and the golden tassel on his head swayed twice.
"If, now you have married me, then I have won the twenty taels of silver..."
"I, I want Zhou Cheng to send it to me earlier..."
"..."
really! I knew it!
Wei Changtian was dumbfounded for a while, then asked suspiciously: "The reason why you married me was just for these twenty taels of silver, right?"
This was actually meant as a joke, but Comrade Xiao Xu became anxious after hearing it.
"No, it's not!"
She waved her hands hurriedly, and at the same time fumbled for a pile of warm banknotes from her chest, and raised them in front of Wei Changtian in a panic.
"This, this is all the money I have saved!"
"All, all for you!"
...
