In recent days, the third prince launched a coup, and the eldest prince sent troops to besiege the city. The entire Gyeonggi region has been affected to varying degrees.
In Shengzhou, the common people were worried about the situation of the battle and complained a lot, but the governor's mansion was full of joy.
Today is a big day for the Governor's Mansion. There are lanterns and festoons everywhere in the mansion, and there is an endless stream of guests coming and going in front of the mansion. There are two book offices in charge of recording the gift list alone, and each of them writes hard, with sore wrists.
Every time the young master takes a concubine, there will be an endless stream of gift-giving people from nearby states. This is the time when the governor's mansion earns the most money every year.
Li Yi and Xu Laochang often entered the governor's mansion, so naturally they didn't need to go through the main entrance.
They are all a group of masters who come and go, how can they reflect the identity of masters if they walk through the front door
The most important thing is that they didn't prepare gifts or invitations, and it would be too troublesome to rob on the spot...
While the rich wine and meat smell, the road with frozen bone.
The more chaotic the world, the more obvious this gap becomes.
Many people in Shengzhou have no food to eat, no clothes to cover their bodies, but the governor's mansion is full of joy, with wine pools and meat groves, very lively.
This made Li Yi's guilt for disturbing other people's good deeds completely disappear.
The back house, a secluded courtyard, is isolated from all the hustle and bustle.
Xiu'er's face was full of anxiety, she paced in the room, and murmured: "What to do, what to do, it will start soon, Mr. Li hasn't come here yet, what should I do..."
Lin Wanru sat by the bed, looked at Lin Yong at the side, and said, "You take Xiu'er away first."
Lin Yong was stunned for a moment, and asked, "What about you, miss?"
Lin Wanru didn't look at him, and said calmly, "I have my own way."
"No!" Lin Yong flatly refused, "If Miss doesn't leave, we won't either!"
A resolute look appeared on Xiu'er's face, and she repeatedly said, "I'm not going either, we want to go together!"
There were footsteps outside the door, an old woman and several maidservants came in, and said anxiously as soon as they entered the door: "Oh, what time is it, why haven't you changed your clothes yet, it's almost too late, hurry up, hurry up..."
The old woman looked at the maid beside her, and said, "What are you still doing, why don't you hurry up and wash and dress up the bride..."
Xiu'er stood in front of Lin Wanru and said, "Our lady is not ready yet..."
The old woman looked at her, dissatisfied: "Where did you come from, throw her out!"
Several servant girls dragged Xiu'er out of the yard.
Then the old woman looked at Lin Wanru and said, "Oh, why are you not in a hurry at all? Although you don't need to visit the hall, it will take a while to dress up. When the time comes, the time will be delayed, and the young master will blame it. But I can’t afford to be guilty…”
Lin Yong rolled up his sleeves, Lin Wanru glanced at him, he looked at the old woman with hatred, and strode out.
The old woman closed the door, and immediately told the maidservants beside her: "You guys, hurry up, if you delay the important matter, I won't spare you!"
"Get out all those jewelry..."
"Wedding dress, bring out the wedding dress quickly!"
"Scissors, who did this job? You don't even cut the hang tag. It's ridiculous to wear it out!"
"What, the scissors are missing, go and find another pair outside..."
…
Half an hour later, the old woman circled around the bed, smiling all over her face, and said, "Tsk tsk..., this is the first time this old woman has seen such a beautiful bride..."
She beckoned to the maid behind her and said, "Hurry up and cover the bride with a hijab and send her to the new house..."
After the things here were over, she breathed a sigh of relief, walked out of the yard, and met an old man walking towards her.
"good luck!"
"good luck!"
The two greeted each other, and the old woman looked at the old man in surprise, and asked, "Old Wangtou, what's wrong with you, you are listless, is it because the young master didn't give you money to count your days?"
The two can be regarded as walking together, one is in charge of the bride's etiquette, the other is in charge of calculating the auspicious days, and they often cooperate with each other on weekdays.
Old man Wang looked at him, just sighed and shook his head slightly.
The old woman suddenly seemed to think of something, and asked, "You must have miscalculated the day, right?"
The old man's face immediately turned red, and he said angrily: "Grandma Lin, don't talk nonsense, my old Wangtou's signboard is resounding, will you miscalculate the date?"
"That's right, what are you doing with a sad face, like a dead mother-in-law... sick!" The old woman glanced at him and left on her own.
Seeing him walking away, the old man shook his head, and said bitterly as he walked: "It's unlucky, it's unlucky... I said that it will be a good day after three months, I have to listen, I have to listen, something happened. Don't blame me..."
Outside the courtyard, somewhere in the shadows.
Lin Yong gritted his teeth and said, "Whatever I say, I will save Miss!"
He turned his head to look at Xiu'er, and said in a low voice: "You wait here for a while, I'll let them think of a way to send you out..."
After that, he strode away.
Xiu'er stood there in a daze for a long time, and after a while, she finally couldn't bear it, squatted down, and began to cry loudly.
After an unknown amount of time, a familiar voice rang in her ears.
"What's the matter, did Lin Yong snatch your candied haws again?"
Xiu'er raised her head, the teardrops in her eyes were reflected by the lights in the distance, shining brightly.
…
A servant of the Governor's Mansion supported the young master and walked towards a certain courtyard, saying repeatedly: "Master, please slow down, slow down..."
"Slow why slow..." The young man reeked of alcohol and said, "If I'm slow, won't the bride be anxious?"
"The bride can't run away again..." The servant said, and hurriedly said: "Master, slow down, be careful not to fall..."
When the two walked to the gate of the courtyard, they happened to meet several other people.
The servant was startled for a moment, then pointed to the back, and said, "You are going in the wrong direction, the gate is over there."
He only regarded these people as guests who had gone the wrong way, and after saying a word, he helped the young master to go in.
Chang De looked at Li Yi and said, "You go in first."
Chang De's voice was shrill, the young man didn't hear what the old man on the opposite side said, but this voice made him very uncomfortable, he frowned and said: "It's neither male nor female, why does my father invite everyone to the house... "
Elder Xu looked at the young master with pity, and suddenly felt that his crotch was cold, so he couldn't help reaching out to dig it out.
Chang De took the young master from the hand of the servant, and said, "Go and do your work, I will support him."
The subconscious person let go of his hand, and then realized, asking: "What are you..."
Before he could finish his words, he fell in response.
Li Yi looked at Lao Chang, nodded and walked into the yard.
Then came the young son's tragic cry.
Inside the room, Lin Wanru was sitting by the bed with a hijab covering her head. This piece of red cloth seemed to isolate everything outside.
After the maids helped her dress up just now, she took a look in the mirror, and the person in the mirror was so beautiful.
People often say that the most beautiful time in a woman's life is when she wears her wedding dress, and this is true.
It's a pity that she didn't let the person she thought of see when she put on her wedding dress.
In her right hand she holds a pair of scissors.
For more than half a year, she has been learning kung fu with Ruyi. She is not a weak woman in the traditional sense, and the governor is not her opponent.
Tonight was the last chance. Holding him hostage and forcing the governor of Shengzhou to send them out of the city was her only choice.
The door was opened from the outside, and her heart tightened.
There were footsteps coming from the door to the bed.
A hand lifted her hijab.
She stood up abruptly, raised one hand, and pointed the scissors straight at his neck.
Her wrist was held in mid-air, and the scissors were snatched away with the other hand.
Her face was pale, and her heart sank quickly.
Li Yi looked at her and said in surprise: "On the wedding night, you are going to murder your husband!"
