Quick Wear: Cousin, Come to the Bowl Quickly
Chapter 338: The Sickly Cousin in a Female-Dominant Novel (61)
Lin Xi's wedding process was somewhat difficult.
Perhaps it was because she had a bad reputation and was feared by all officials, but today she changed into a wedding gown with a black dress, and her usually cold eyes also took on a touch of warmth, no longer making people feel intimidated when they looked at her.
Therefore, the people who came to watch the ceremony intentionally or unintentionally forgot her identity as the Chief of the Criminal Justice Department and treated her as an ordinary newcomer.
Not only were there all kinds of obstacles to block the marriage, but some people with ulterior motives even secretly increased the difficulty of several ceremonies, as if they would not give up until Lin Xi was stumped. And the one who was most excited among them was none other than Changsun Yan's nominal sister - Changsun Ke.
However, this group of people were different from those who had been suppressed by Lin Xi for a long time and finally got the chance to see her make a fool of herself so that they could relieve their anger.
The reason why she made such an outrageous fuss was that she wanted to test whether this legendary and powerful man of both civil and military talents was really worthy of the title and was worthy of being her eldest grandson, Niangzi's brother who was like a banished immortal.
However, she was still young and somewhat rebellious. She did not understand that whether she tried Lin Xi or not, the marriage between Changsun Yan and Lin Xi was a foregone conclusion, and the result would not change because of her satisfaction or not.
Even if she wanted to test Lin Xi, there would be plenty of time for the two families to interact in the future, so why did she choose to do it in public like today? If Lin Xi really made a fool of herself, wouldn't it be Chang Sun Yan who would lose face?
However, she obviously did not take this into consideration, and therefore, under the instigation of those with ulterior motives, she became the most powerful obstacle in the team trying to stop the marriage.
Fortunately, Lin Xi had anticipated a scene like today, so he overcame all the obstacles along the way, wrote poems and drank, and finally arrived at Changsun Yan's yard with ease.
"Ake, let her take the person away after entering the courtyard. None of your tricks will work." A lady in brocade robes whispered to the somewhat discouraged Chang Sun Ke in the crowd.
Chang Sun Ke, who had tried all kinds of tricks but failed to stop Lin Xi from welcoming her bride, was actually already secretly impressed by his future brother-in-law. But when he heard the encouragement from the people around him, he immediately perked up again.
"Those are just appetizers. The real show is yet to come. Just wait and see. If she can break my plan, I will completely accept her as my brother's wife!"
After Chang Sun Ke finished speaking, she waved her hand to call her personal servant and whispered a few words to her. After hearing this, the servant immediately shook his head with some disapproval, but was glared at by Chang Sun Ke. He could only nod helplessly and left in a hurry.
Here, Lin Xi had already won the applause of the whole room with her wonderful poem urging the bride to get ready, and was being escorted into the courtyard by the crowd to welcome the groom.
But when everyone entered the yard and saw the situation inside, the expressions on their faces became somewhat meaningful.
A hundred steps away, in the middle of the corridor outside the groom's bedroom, there was a scroll hanging, half covering the door.
Due to the distance, everyone squinted their eyes and looked carefully for a moment before they could see clearly that the scroll was made of cloth, embroidered with a magnificent peacock with its tail spread.
Everyone looked at the scroll that suddenly appeared, all a little confused. They wanted to move on, but were stopped by Chang Sun Ke who spoke again.
"Lord Lin, wait a minute!" Zhang Sun Ke walked in front of Lin Xi with a smile, facing everyone's puzzled gazes. "I've heard that Lord Lin is a great martial artist and once hunted a tiger for Your Majesty. With all the guests gathered here today, could you please open your eyes for us?"
Lin Xi looked at the smug look that flashed across the man's eyes, and silently changed her mind about letting her mother-in-law teach this man a lesson. The rough wind and sand in the Northwest military camp were just right for tempering the temper of this spoiled young lady.
With this in mind, the resentment she had felt for not seeing her husband for so long suddenly dissipated. She raised her eyebrows calmly and asked, "How can I open my eyes?"
"This is not difficult. In ancient times, Emperor Gaozu shot a bird's eye and won the favor of the Dou family, and passed down the good story of 'selecting the bird from the screen'. Today is your and my brother's wedding day, why don't we follow suit? It will be appropriate. What do you think?"
"can."
Chang Sun Ke thought that after Lin Xi heard her, even if it was difficult to refuse due to the presence of so many people, she would at least ask basic questions such as how to shoot and where to stand to shoot.
But who would have thought that as soon as she finished speaking, Lin Xi agreed without any hesitation, leaving her unable to react for a moment.
"My lord, why don't you ask me what to do..." She wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Lin Xi.
"Where are the bowstring and arrow?"
Seeing this man's attitude of not taking her seriously at all, Chang Sun Ke's words were stuck in her throat, and she was so angry that her chest hurt.
But she had no idea that after hearing her childish dilemma, Lin Xi immediately lost the desire to continue wasting time with her and just wanted to end it quickly so that she could see her beloved who must be as beautiful as a begonia.
Chang Sun Ke glared at Lin Xi angrily, then waved for someone to bring a bow and arrow to Lin Xi, mumbling hypocritically, "There's no need to shoot the bird's eye like Gaozu did, as long as..."
Before she finished her words, she heard a sound of breaking air suddenly, followed by two whooshing sounds, without any trace of mud or water.
Before anyone could react, three arrows had already shot towards the scroll a hundred steps away, but in the blink of an eye, they were nailed to the scroll.
The scroll was pierced by the strong arrow energy and fell directly to the ground. Before everyone could recover from the shock of Lin Xi's sudden firing of three arrows, Lin Xi, who was dressed in a wedding dress, had already stretched out her long legs and ran towards the slightly open door in the distance.
"Hahahahahaha!"
"Master Lin is mighty!"
"The bride can't wait any longer and wants to grab the bride right away!"
"Follow up quickly!"
When the crowd reacted and looked at Lin Xi running in front of them, they no longer cared about the scroll and started laughing and chasing after Lin Xi.
Only Chang Sun Ke, who witnessed Lin Xi's three arrows shot lightly from a close distance, was stunned. He stood to the end in a daze and picked up the scroll that was kicked into the corner by everyone's footsteps.
Only one of the three arrows was left on the scroll. Where the peacock's eyes should have been, there were only two empty holes. The only remaining arrow was stuck precariously in the middle of the peacock's tail feathers, on the cover feathers that looked like pupils.
Chang Sun Ke took the arrow with trembling fingers, touched the light wooden arrowhead, swallowed hard, and looked at the people who had already rushed to the door.

I can't post Cheche, so I'll make up a plot chapter. I'll try to revise it and see if it works tomorrow. If not, I can only write it (what happened when the review was not allowed happened) (`へ′)
