(Do you love my heart, or do you love this skin)
The spring waves are surging, and the red lights are decorated. Double happiness is posted on the wall, and mandarin ducks are painted on the outside.
Today is the day of Wan Xi's wedding, and everyone in the Su family has been busy since early in the morning. The Su and Zhao families also distributed invitations widely, inviting relatives, friends and neighbors to attend the wedding.
But the bride in the room looked gloomy and was speechless.
Wan Xi looked at the face in the bronze mirror and felt secretly sad. She almost didn't sleep all night, and the depressed mood in her heart kept her awake all night.
Liu Huan wiped off her makeup and put on new foundation, but a teardrop slipped down and stained her cheeks with rouge.
"Miss, please don't be sad anymore." Liu Huan said softly. This was the seventh time she had touched up Wan Xi's makeup.
Wan Xi said: "Sister Liu Huan, how is brother Lanfeng?"
Liu Huan shook his head and said, "The master has put down his harsh words yesterday. If you don't marry him, he will not let Master Lanfeng go."
Wan Xi wiped away her tears with her sleeves and said, "If this is really my destiny, I will accept it. Sister Liu Huan, please touch up my makeup..."
Liu Huan felt heartbroken when he heard Wan Xi say this. This is the child she brought up. Although she is not her biological child, after all these years have passed, how can she bear to see Wan Xi so heartbroken...
She sighed helplessly and put rouge on Wan Xi again. After inserting a gold hairpin, a silver ring, a new red dress, and a beaded curtain and phoenix crown, a brocade red scarf was placed on Wan Xi's head.
Not long after, I heard the sound of the trumpet welcoming the bride outside the door, and it was very lively.
"Where's the person?! I'm here to pick up the bride!" Zhao Peng shouted loudly as soon as he entered the door. Lan Feng heard the sound in the woodshed and quickly struggled to get up and went to the bedside to check on her.
When Wan Xi heard Zhao Peng shouting in the courtyard, she couldn't help but tighten her sleeves. Liu Huan saw that Zhao Peng was so reckless, so he went out and said to Zhao Peng: "Master Zhao, why are you running into the courtyard instead of watching the carriage and sedan chair at the door? There is no reason to stop the trumpet for this red event. Besides, How can any groom be as impatient as you?"
When Zhao Peng saw a group of people resting at the door of Su Mansion, he shouted: "Did I tell you to stop? Play for me!" Then the trumpets of that group started to sound again. Zhao Peng glanced at Liu Huan and said, "Okay, sooner or later they will all be my people. You tell her to hurry up. I don't want to wait too long!"
After that, Zhao Peng ordered his servants to unload more than ten boxes of betrothal gifts from the carriage, and then went out and got on the horse. Liu Huan returned to the house and said to Wan Xi: "Let's go, Miss, don't miss the good time. The master and his wife have gone to Zhao's house to receive guests."
Wan Xi stood up speechlessly, holding Liu Huan in her hand and stepped out of the room. Lan Feng was very anxious at this time, but he was tied up in this woodshed and didn't even have the chance to say goodbye in person. He could only watch Wan Xi walking towards the door.
"Wan Xi!!" Lan Feng shouted. Wan Xi was stunned for a moment when she heard Lan Feng's voice. No one saw her expression under the hijab. Liu Huan persuaded her in her ear, and then Wan Xi went out and got into the sedan chair.
"Get up the sedan!!"
The sound of the trumpet gradually faded away, and finally disappeared in Lan Feng's ears. But he didn't know that a shocking change was about to happen to Wan Xi.
The group of people followed Zhao Peng all the way without any problems, but halfway through the journey, Wan Xi became more and more uncomfortable in the sedan chair. On the one hand, it was to say goodbye to Lan Feng, but on the other hand, the warmth from last night came back for no reason.
After half an hour, the group finally arrived at the Zhao family's house. I could hear the bustle of people in the mansion, and those who came to congratulate were still walking inside one after another. Zhao Peng got off his horse and walked directly inside without caring about Wan Xi to chat and joke with a group of relatives and friends. Liu Huan was furious when he saw that Zhao Peng was so cold to Wan Xi. She had someone push down the sedan chair and help Wan Xi out. Unexpectedly, Wan Xi stumbled and fell into Liu Huan's arms.
"Oh, miss, what's wrong with you?" Liu Huan asked.
Wan Xi said: "Water, bring water quickly..."
After Liu Huan heard this, he quickly asked the Zhao family servant to bring tea. At this time, the second elder of the Su family walked to the door and saw Wan Xi drinking water with her head covered, so they asked. Mrs. Su stepped forward and Liu Huan helped Wan Xi walk through the door, and a group of relatives and friends came up to congratulate her.
The Zhao family's residence is no different than the Su family's. The ground is covered with a red carpet, and dozens of banquet tables are packed with delicacies from all over the world, as well as countless fine wines.
"Peng'er, why don't you help Wan Xi." Zhao Shang was a little unhappy when he saw Zhao Peng still joking with others. After hearing this, Zhao Peng responded and stepped forward to hold Wan Xi's hand. hand. Wan Xi didn't want to touch him, but Zhao Peng was so strong that she couldn't break free.
When Zhao Peng saw Wan Xi acting like this, he leaned into her ear and said, "Sister Wan Xi, let me see who else is supporting you today!"
When Su and Zhao saw Zhao Peng whispering to Wan Xi, they thought it was a private conversation between them. Then Zhao Shang said: "Brother Su, it is not easy for my son to marry this precious daughter of yours."
Mr. Su also smiled and said: "My little girl was ignorant before, but today we are a family. From now on, I ask Brother Zhao to help me with my business."
"That's natural..." Zhao Shang said.
After a while, the master of ceremonies saw that the auspicious moment had arrived, so he cleared his throat and said to everyone: "Today, the second Duke Su and Zhao are getting married. I have invited all my relatives and friends to come and witness. The two of them are in the same household, and they are in harmony with each other. In fact, it is a clear matchmaker's marriage.
The male is Zhao Peng, the son of the Zhao family, and the female is Wanxi, the daughter of the Su family. Today, here again, the two surnames are getting married, making this covenant, vowing to each other, and a good relationship will last forever, and they will grow old together and have been married for a hundred years. May you two see the ten miles of peach blossoms today and know that what you love is not fake. When he looks back on this old promise, he realizes that it was exactly what he promised! This certificate! "
"Okay!!" Everyone sitting nearby clapped their hands and cheered.
The master of ceremonies finished reciting the oath and said: "The newlyweds worship heaven and earth!"
Zhao Peng and Wan Xi stepped forward.
"Worship heaven and earth!"
The two kowtowed.
"Two thanks to Gaotang!"
The two turned around and kowtowed again.
"Couple greetings!"
When the two faced each other, Zhao Peng knelt down. But at this moment, the heat in Wan Xi's heart suddenly rushed to her head, and she saw him staggering and fell to the ground!
"Miss!!"
"Wan Xi!!"
Everyone panicked. Liu Huan stepped forward and picked up Wan Xi. She felt that Wan Xi was feeling hot all over. Before she could ask, Zhao Peng got angry and pulled off Wan Xi's hijab with one claw!
"Monster!!" Zhao Peng shouted out first. Everyone looked closely and saw that the beautiful face under the bead curtain was half covered by a dense layer of golden scales! !
Everyone was in an uproar! Then Zhao Peng was just a mortal, how could he have seen such bizarre things. He was so frightened that he hid behind a pillar and shivered.
The two elders of the Su family were momentarily panicked when they saw Wan Xi looking so evil. Seeing everyone staring at her with fear on their faces, Wan Xi quickly asked Liu Huan: "Sister Liu Huan, what happened?"
Although Liu Huan was too frightened to understand, the girl in his arms was the one who accompanied him day and night after all. She calmed down and said: "Miss, for some reason your face is covered with golden scales..."
After hearing this, Wan Xi panicked and touched her face, but when she raised her hands, she saw golden scales growing on her hands!
"Brother Su! What the hell is going on!" Seeing Wan Xi's change, Zhao Shang thought that the marriage would not work out.
Mr. Su calmed down and said, "Don't be afraid, relatives and friends. I don't know why my little girl has changed like this. I'm afraid she suddenly contracted some serious disease. I'll give you an explanation after I ask the doctor to come and take a look!"
"Nonsense!!" Someone in the crowd suddenly shouted, "This is obviously a monster! Do you still remember the tragedy of the fishing village on the Tongtian River that was wiped out seven years ago? I heard that it was a fish spirit and a fire monster that caused trouble!"
After hearing this, Zhao Shang vaguely remembered that when Fish Basket Guanyin was rebuilt, a child of the Su family leaked the evil fire energy!
Zhao Shang broke into a cold sweat thinking about this. He looked at Mr. Su and said, "When Fish Basket Guanyin was rebuilt seven years ago, you protected a child who emitted evil fire, and now there are evil scales on your daughter's face. Brother Su, are you a human or a monster?"
For a time, all the fingers were pointed at the Su family.
"Brother Zhao, what do you mean? You and I have been brothers for decades, but now you don't believe me?" Master Su shouted sternly.
Zhao Shangdao: "Brother Su, it's not that I don't believe you. Today is a great day for my family, but it's because of your daughter that we are in such a mess. If you don't make it clear, don't blame me for falling out!"
"No comment!" Mr. Su shouted angrily, then called his family members to go out the door.
"Stop them!" Zhao Shang became angry and immediately ordered his servants to rush forward. Mr. Su knew that this was the Zhao family's yard and that he could not get any favors here, so he hurriedly asked the people he brought to block the front, and he took Wan Xi and his party into the carriage and drove back.
When Zhao Shang saw the Su family walking away, he said to many relatives and friends: "You have also seen that the Su family's little girl's strange behavior must be related to the tragedy in the fishing village seven years ago. Presumably some of the people sitting here were in Yu at that time. As a spectator at Lan Guanyin, the Su family let go of a demon boy back then, can we let him let go of another one today?!"
"Yes, we can't let the Su family let go of monsters again..." Everyone started talking.
Zhao Shang secretly snickered. Although the marriage was ruined, if he could take this opportunity to get rid of the Su family, then he would have all this business under his control.
Zhao Shangdao: "Everyone, I, Mr. Zhao, will make a pledge today. If anyone can catch the witch, I will give him a hundred taels of gold!"
"Catch the witch!!" Everyone's eyes lit up when they saw the gold. Then they went back to gather their men and prepare to go to the Su family to capture Wan Xi.
Lan Feng was still in a daze in the Su family's woodshed, but he didn't want to be disturbed by a burst of noise. Just when he was wondering, Liu Huan hurriedly broke in and untied the rope for Lan Feng.
"Sister Liu Huan, what happened? Where is Wan Xi? Did something happen to Wan Xi?" Lan Feng asked anxiously.
Liu Huan said: "It's too late to say more, come with me quickly!"
Lan Feng secretly thought it was not good and hurriedly left the woodshed with Liu Huan. When the two came to Wan Xi's room, Liu Huan said, "Go in..."
Lan Feng hurriedly opened the door and saw Wan Xi sitting in front of the dressing table with her head lowered and her back to him.
"Wan Xi, what's wrong with you?" Lan Feng asked anxiously.
"Don't come here!!" Wan Xi cried, "They are all afraid of me, and I don't know why it's like this. I'm afraid you will hate me too..."
Lan Feng didn't know what happened, so he comforted Wan Xi: "What's wrong with you, Wan Xi, how can I hate you?"
As he spoke, Lan Feng carefully walked up to Zai Xi and squatted down. He gently grabbed Wan Xi's hand and saw the scales on it. He was startled, and then carefully moved the hair covering Wan Xi's face.
Wan Xi's eyes were filled with tears and she said: "Brother Lanfeng, am I ugly?"
Lanfeng opened his eyes and said nothing. When Wanxi saw that he didn't speak, she became angry. She grabbed the scissors on the table and slashed her face. Seeing this, Lan Feng hurriedly knocked down the scissors, grabbed Wan Xi's waist, and kissed her deeply...
Why would I think you are ugly? When everyone spurned me seven years ago, you were the only one who protected me and helped me. The love between you and me cannot be separated by this skin.
Although Lan Feng didn't say these words, this kiss already represented his feelings. No one knows how long this scene lingered, only the dressing mirror on the table witnessed this silent oath...
