Carrying the wrong sedan chair to marry the wrong wife

Cheng Yi and Liniang's wedding date was set on Xiaonian, the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month, and Aunt Cheng specially went to the fortune teller to calculate it.

The wedding date had been set, and Mrs. Cheng began to make arrangements. During this period, Liniang also lived in the next door to Mrs. Cheng's house, sewing auspicious clothes, mattress pillow covers and other things.

On this day, the No. 17 day when Cheng Yi left the academy with tears in his eyes, that is, the 22nd of the twelfth lunar month, and the day before getting married, there was a heavy snowfall in Nantong.

The servant of the yamen swept the snow in front of the door with a broom. In the distance, a carriage slowly drove towards the third bridge, and finally stopped in front of the magistrate’s yamen. The groom jumped out of the carriage and opened the curtain. The three-two boys jumped out first. , Then, a man in a cloak was also helped out of the carriage.

The yamen servant was sweeping the snow when a pair of official boots suddenly appeared in his sight. He raised his head quickly and was very pleasantly surprised when he saw someone coming.

"My lord, you are back!"

Lu Wenzheng nodded with a smile.

The yamen servant was very excited, and quickly turned around and ran to shout: "Brothers, come out quickly, your lord is back, your lord is back!"

Lu Wenzheng looked up at the plaque in the yamen, this experience seemed to have taken a lifetime, what a pain!

"Lord Lu, you've arrived at the Yamen, so I'll go home first." Tang Hongfei approached, clasped his fists and said.

"Oh, go back quickly. The family is in a hurry these days. In a few days, report directly to the Yamen." Lu Wenzheng patted Tang Hongfei on the shoulder. He liked this boy very much. He was young and had a sense of justice. The foundation is also good, and he is a good catcher.

"Thank you, my lord!" Tang Hongfei nodded and clasped his fists, overjoyed, bid farewell to Lu Wenzheng, turned and ran home.

"My lord!" All the clerks, yamen servants, and masters in the yamen rushed out, "Congratulations, my lord, who has been wronged and returned safely."

"My lord, I have sorted out the official affairs, and I am waiting for my lord to come back to review." The master book said again.

"During my absence, you have worked hard." Lu Wenzheng took the master's hand, "It's snowing outside, let's talk inside."

A group of people entered the yamen, and someone had already notified the inner court, and Mrs. Lu rushed out with her daughter.

"Master! Qingzhe!" Mrs. Lu saw her master and son, her nose was inexplicably sore, and tears rolled in her eyes.

Lu Wenzheng looked at his wife and daughter, his lips trembled twice, and he quickly brought his son to meet him, and the family of four hugged each other.

"Father!" Lu Qingyi couldn't help but shed tears already.

"Okay, it's all over now, let's not cry, don't cry." Lu Wenzheng lowered his head and wiped away his tears.

"Qing Zhe, come here, mother, take a look, she is so thin, mother's Qing Zhe is suffering." Mrs. Lu held her son tightly in her arms, she couldn't stop her tears.

"Mother, Qing Zhe is fine. Qing Zhe has been thinking about her mother and elder sister outside. Now that her mother and elder sister are safe and sound, Qing Zhe is full of joy."

"Qing Zhe!" Lu Qingyi managed to stop her tears, and when she heard this sentence, the tears flowed down again.

After crying for a while, Mrs. Lu wiped her tears with a handkerchief. When she looked up, she saw people from the yamen standing at the entrance of the second hall. Knowing that they had something to do with her master, she said, "Okay, don't cry anymore, Qingzhe, hurry up and talk to your mother." Go back to the house to warm up, look at you, your hands are cold." After Madam Lu said, she took her son with one hand and her daughter with the other and went into the house.

Lu Wenzheng stood there calming down for a long time, sent Lu Qing and Lu Ping back to the house to rest, and turned to go to the lobby by himself. These days, there must be a mountain of official duties, and I am afraid that they will be busy until New Year's Eve.

Over there, Tang Hongfei hurried back home. Just as Tang's mother hugged and cried a few words, Tang's father came out with a whip.

"You have the guts to come back, kid!" Father Tang came angrily towards Tang Hongfei holding a whip.

Seeing this, Tang's mother hurried to stop her: "Master, the child must have suffered a lot outside, and he won't be able to beat him when he comes home."

Tang's father held the horsewhip tightly in his hand. Fortunately, he received a letter halfway and knew what was going on. Otherwise, he would have gone all over the world to find his son.

"Ma'am, this kid is really lawless. He even dared to break into the barracks. If I don't teach him a lesson today, he will go against the sky!"

The mother Tang Hongfei saw couldn't stop his father, so he quickly hid and said: "Father, I know I was wrong, but, but, good people are rewarded, Mr. Lu promised me to work in the yamen in a few days, Dad, you want to fight me?" If you hurt me, I can't go there."

Sure enough, after saying this, Father Tang stopped and asked suspiciously, "Is what you said true?"

"Of course it's true, Dad, I'm going to be arrested soon, don't you have a face?" Tang Hongfei carefully looked at his father's face.

Tang's father put down his whip: "For the sake of you going to report, you can avoid beatings. Go to the ancestor's mourning hall and kneel for an hour to reflect on yourself."

"Hey, thank you dad!" Tang Hongfei responded quickly.

When Tang's father went out, Tang's mother secretly let Tang Hongfei out. In the warm pavilion, Tang Hongfei devoured his food.

"Mom, this meal is really delicious."

"Eat slowly, eat slowly." Mother Tang said while wiping her tears.

"Mom, why are you crying? I'm not doing well."

"You didn't eat like this before. You must be very hungry outside. My mother feels distressed when she thinks about it."

"Mother, it's okay. My son has survived. He's doing well now, and he got a job." Tang Hongfei put down his chopsticks and squatted under his mother's knees, looking up at his mother.

"Yeah, it's good to come back, mother will definitely make up for you!"

Seeing that his mother stopped crying, Tang Hongfei wanted to go out. He hadn't seen Wan'er and his brothers for a long time.

"Why, are you leaving home again?" Mother Tang raised her eyebrows.

"Mom, I want to meet Mancang and the others."

Tang's mother heard the words and remembered that those children brought things to see her every few days, they were really good children.

"Go, but come back early."

"Thank you, mother!" Tang Hongfei ran out after saying that, went straight to the vocal music workshop, paid the money, and went up to the second floor. He saw a room on the right decorated with lights and festoons, and happy signs were pasted on the doors and windows. Tang Hongfei walked forward After a few steps, seeing Wan'er coming out of the room with a happy smile, she was stunned. Wan'er is going to get married?

"Wan'er!" Tang Hongfei ran over unsteadily.

Wan'er was in a daze for a long time when she saw Tang Hongfei, until Tang Hongfei stood in front of her, she came back to her senses, this man came back, even though she knew that Tang Hongfei went out to run around for her brother, she was still a little annoyed, the time was too long .

"Are you getting married?"

Wan'er was taken aback when she heard the words, she turned her head to look at Xifang, and by the way realized that Tang Hongfei was thinking wrong.

"What are you thinking about!" Wan'er was unhappy, "This is for Liniang, she will come here tonight, and she will get married from here tomorrow!"

"Liniang? That savage family is going to get married? Who are you going to marry?" Tang Hongfei was very curious. With Liniang's temperament, can she get married?

With a straight face, Wan'er glanced at Tang Hongfei and said, "Who is Liniang marrying? Ask your good brothers. Get out of the way, I have to move things for Liniang." Wan'er walked away Tang Hongfei, go downstairs.

Tang Hongfei was stunned, who did Li Niang marry, and why did she ask his brother?After recovering, he hurriedly chased Wan'er out of the Vocal Music Workshop.

When they arrived at the place, Tang Hongfei grabbed Wan'er and said, "Isn't Liniang going to marry my fourth brother?"

"Can't you?" Wan'er looked back at Tang Hongfei.

"No, no, it's not impossible, yes, I didn't expect that my fourth brother and Liniang..." Tang Hongfei was incoherent.

"Tomorrow they will get married." Wan'er interrupted Tang Hongfei, "It's still time for you to come back, it depends on whether you want to have a wedding or not."

"Then, can you not come? Cheng Yi is my sworn brother." Tang Hongfei felt that this was incredible. With the temperament of his fourth brother and Liniang's temperament, can these two people get together?

"Then come in." Wan'er saw that although Tang Hongfei was still in a daze, he finally showed his attitude, unlike those literati who got together and took this matter as a joke.

Tang Hongfei and Wan'er entered Cheng's house, and in the yard, they could hear laughter and laughter in the house, even Mancang, Fugui and Jinwen were there.

The door rang, and everyone looked back and saw that it was Tang Hongfei. They were taken aback for a moment, and then went up to meet him one by one.

"Hongfei, you're back?" Fugui stepped forward and hugged Tang Hongfei.

"I came back in time, just in time for Fourth Brother's happy day." Xu Jinwen laughed.

Hearing the words, Tang Hongfei looked at Cheng Yi and Liniang, who were wearing auspicious clothes, and was confused again: "Are we married today, or tomorrow?"

"Tomorrow." Cheng Yi hurriedly said, "Try Jifu today."

"Fit, fit, congratulations to fourth brother, congratulations to younger siblings." Tang Hongfei cupped his hands to congratulate Cheng Yi and Liniang.

"Thank you, big brother. Big brother has worked hard all the way, let's sit down and talk." Cheng Yi led Tang Hongfei to sit down.

Shen Wenchang saw the opportunity, pulled Tang Hongfei and whispered: "Hongfei, you are back, then, where is Master Lu?"

Tang Hongfei smiled when he heard the words: "Of course, I'm back too."

"Really?" Shen Wenchang was overjoyed.

"Naturally." Tang Hongfei nodded.

Shen Wenchang got the letter of approval, and couldn't help being overjoyed, she wanted to go home immediately and let her father propose marriage, but thinking about Cheng Yi, she endured it, and when Cheng Yi got married tomorrow, she would go to the Lu family to propose marriage. not too late.

"It seems that the fourth brother is getting married, and the warehouse will soon be full." Xu Jinwen leaned over to Shen Wenchang and smiled.

"Hey, you're pretty accurate, it's coming soon, it's coming soon." Shen Wenchang couldn't restrain his joy, "Come on, let's help the fourth brother clean up the house today, and move Liniang's wedding things to Shengle Square in the evening, tomorrow Let the fourth brother get married happily."

"Look, Mancang heard that Mr. Lu is back, so he was not so excited when he came to help." Zhu Fugui whispered to Xu Jinwen.

"Shhh, don't let him hear it, he's working very hard." Xu Jinwen replied in a low voice, and went over to help clean it up.

On the second day, the Cheng family set off firecrackers early in the morning. Cheng Yi, dressed in auspicious clothes, listened to the matchmaker talking at the gate of the courtyard. Behind her stood Tang Hongfei, Zhu Fugui, Shen Wenchang and Xu Jinwen. Purple cotton gown.

"The hour is up, the bearer lifts up the sedan chair, and Chui Yue walks ahead." The matchmaker shouted.

When it was originally scheduled, Shen Wenchang and the others went to pick up the bride on Cheng Yi's behalf, but Cheng Yi thought about it and decided not to, and she wanted to pick up Liniang by herself.

There is no tall horse, only a small sedan chair, and Cheng Yi took the four sworn brothers happily all the way to the Vocal Workshop.

The girls in the vocal music workshop were very excited. They woke up early in the morning to help Liniang comb her hair and dress up. When Cheng Yi and the others arrived downstairs, they attracted a group of onlookers.

Before, the girls in the building were ransomed quietly. It was the first time a girl got married from here, which was really strange.Second, this girl is not a concubine, but was redeemed to be the main wife, which is not surprising.Three things, the person who married the wife is a new imperial examination candidate, a well-known and well-known Juren lord, this time it is even more interesting.

"Cheng Yi, you cut off your friendship with the head of the mountain for a woman, and you still have the face to marry a wife in public today?" A scholar came out from the crowd and cursed loudly.

Cheng Yi was happily waiting for someone at the gate of the Vocal Workshop. Hearing this, he looked back and sighed silently. In the past seventeen days, some people have come to scold him, and some have seen him mocking him on the street. It's like a few pieces of meat are missing in a few words.

"Hey, do you have any face? Today, my fourth brother is married, and you are here to scold me. Did you eat your meat or sleep with your wife?" Xu Jin was angry, and went up to reason. Meaning they pulled back.

"You, you, you rascals." The scholar blushed with anger, "Your family's daughter-in-law got that. Besides, I scolded a scum like Cheng Yi who doesn't respect teachers and morals. Did I scold you?" ?”

"Shut up!" Shen Wenchang walked forward quickly, "You still say, can you show some morals? You are not tired after scolding for so many days, isn't Cheng Yi just marrying a wife? She was dug up It's like your ancestral grave."

"You, you, Shen Wenchang, you, ouch, it hurts." The scholar pointed at Shen Wenchang, who was gently broken by Shen Wenchang, and bent over in pain.

Seeing that the scholar was gasping for breath in pain, Shen Wenchang let go of his hand in a timely manner, "Come on, don't be an eyesore here."

While rubbing his arm, the scholar muttered, but he didn't dare to say it out loud.

Shen Wenchang patted Cheng Yi's shoulder lightly, Cheng Yi smiled implicitly, it will almost be like this from now on, if you get angry every time, life will not be comfortable, why don't you just ignore them, they scold them, right When I didn't hear it.

"The bride is coming!" The matchmaker walked out holding Liniang's hand.

Cheng Yi's attention was attracted by Li Niang who was dressed in auspicious clothes and covered with a red hijab, the corners of his mouth couldn't stop rising, and under the urging of his brother, he hurried up and whispered: "Li Niang, I'm here to pick you up. "

Liniang knew what Cheng Yi had endured, she slowly raised her hand, groped for Cheng Yi's hand, and held it tightly.

Cheng Yi understood, and they had to leave together in the days to come.

"The groom carries the bride on the sedan chair." The matchmaker shouted.

Cheng Yi turned around with a smile, squatted down slightly, and Liniang leaned down cautiously, Cheng Yi hooked his hands back, lifted Li Niang on his back, and walked towards the sedan chair.

Liniang got into the sedan chair, and the bearer lifted the sedan chair up.

Shen Wenchang took out a bag of copper coins and distributed some to Zhu Fugui and the others. The four of them stood behind the sedan chair and took a few steps to raise them.

The front carried the sedan chair happily and walked forward, while the people behind rushed to the ground like crazy, and brought Cheng Yi and Liniang to the door of their house in a lively manner.

Cheng Yi carried Li Niang out and went straight into the house.

In the room, Aunt Cheng sat on the main seat, Cheng Yi and Liniang stood below, holding red and green belts in their hands.

Shen Wenchang acted as the master of ceremonies, stood on the left, squeezed his throat, and shouted solemnly: "Pray to heaven and earth!"

Cheng Yi and Liniang turned around slowly and bowed outwards.

"Farewell to the high hall!"

"Husband and wife bow to each other, husband and wife bow to each other!" Shen Wenchang took a step closer to Cheng Yi. After a while, she and Yiyi will also have to bow like this. Thinking about it makes her excited.

"Hey!" Shen Wenchang laughed silly.

Cheng Yi and Liniang heard two couples praying to each other, bowed and bowed again, got up and heard the master of ceremonies' next instructions, there was no other way, bowed and bowed again!

"Hey, hello, the storehouse is full, it's time to send it to the bridal chamber." Xu Jinwen tugged at Shen Wenchang's sleeve. At this important moment, why are you so silly? The whole room is waiting for you. The most important thing is a new couple. Too many times.

"Ah?" Shen Wenchang returned to his senses, looked at the crowd, blushed, and said, "Oh, oh, come, come, send it to the bridal chamber, send it to the bridal chamber!!!"

Cheng Yi breathed a sigh of relief when she heard the words, her husband and wife had worshiped each other for so long, she almost thought that the gift would fall on Shen Wenchang who was stupefied.

"Third brother, why are you in a hurry, today I'm going to be admitted, and it won't be long before it's your turn." Cheng Yi whispered to Shen Wenchang when he turned around while pulling the red and green belt.

"That's right, the fourth brother's waist was almost broken during this couple's worship. If it really broke, what's the bridal chamber?" Xu Jinwen blinked at Cheng Yi.

Hearing this, Cheng Yi remembered the erotic pictures that Xu Jinwen had given her, blushed immediately, and hurriedly pulled the red and green belts to the back room.
