Chapter 315 Marriage(1/2)
Chapter 315 Getting married
Although Jiang Yan temporarily left Wenfu and Qingdu, the romance among scribes still continued, and it was the annual Yanhui Festival again.
Many scribes sat under the trees and drank, watching the flocks of purple swallows in the sky returning to Qingdu after hibernation. This happened year after year!
Ziyan is auspicious in the eyes of the people of Qingdu. It only builds nests in harmonious homes and will not leave until death. Most people in Qingdu even regard Ziyan as a member of their own family.
Lu Daoxuan's mind was sometimes confused and sometimes sober, so he was no longer suitable to teach in Wenfu, so he lived at No. 11 Jiazi, Mahuang Lane, where Jiang Yan originally lived.
Wei Changli would come to Mahuang Alley every now and then. He used to steal wine and eat meat, but now that the old butcher is gone, Xiong Heita is the only one who suffers.
Lu Daoxuan was sitting on a recliner, and Lei Hongyi was combing his hair over and over again, with a happy smile on his face.
"Daoxuan, you have recently grown a lot of black hair among your white hair. Are you going to rejuvenate yourself?" Lei Hongyi asked with a smile.
Lu Daoxuan didn't change his mind, his eyes were a bit dull, but he just laughed when he saw Lei Hongyi smiling.
"It's not all you who took good care of me. I just don't think clearly sometimes, but now I feel like there is something wrong with my hands and feet."
Wei Changli rode a sheep cart into the yard and saw the two of them smiling happily.
"Did I bother you?"
Lei Hongyi was already an old man, but now she blushed and started to walk back into the house a little shyly.
"Master Wei, if you have something to do, just chat, I'm going in."
After Wei Changli watched Lei Hongyi leave, he sighed with his tongue, but before he could recover, he received a slap on the head.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, this is your sister-in-law!"
"Brother, are you confused now?" Wei Changli glanced at Lu Daoxuan.
"I just occasionally don't have a clear mind. But Hongyi takes such good care of me, I feel like there is something wrong with my hands and feet. Many times I am awake but in order to make her happy, I can only pretend to be confused." Lu Daoxuan was also a little distressed.
"Just be content. Just now I saw that Lei Hongyi's posture was not quite right as she walked a few steps. She must be pregnant."
"Chang Li, with your orientation, it's hard for me to believe your vision."
"I definitely didn't make a mistake this time, I must be pregnant," Wei Changli said firmly.
Lu Daoxuan recalled some small things before, suddenly became excited, and sat up even though he was half lying down.
"I, Lu Daoxuan, am going to have a son?" Lu Daoxuan still can't believe it.
"Maybe she's a daughter."
Lu Daoxuan walked around the yard, looking excited and hesitant.
"The last time I saw you having such a hard time making a choice, it was you who decided whether or not to end the affair with Lu Lian. At that time, we were all still students in the Wen family."
When Wei Changli said this, Lu Daoxuan quickly looked into the room, as if he was afraid of being overheard.
"Shut up, I"
"Okay, okay, I was wrong." Wei Changli suppressed a smile.
"Wei Laosan, I want to marry Hong Yi as my wife!"
Wei Changli was stunned at first, and then his eyes were full of disbelief. The two had been friends for a lifetime, and he was the person who knew Lu Daoxuan best.
He has loved freedom all his life. Even when he was teaching in Wenfu, he would go wherever he wanted without being restrained. If he hadn't forced him to stay, Lu Daoxuan would have died in the mountains and rivers long ago. Now he actually wants to get a wife?
"What did you say?" Wei Changli confirmed again.
"I thought about it for a long time and asked Jiang Yan for his opinion, and he agreed very much.
Junior brother, senior brother, I have devoted my whole life to this landscape and this painting brush. When I am old and meet my close confidant, what more can I ask for?
I have already delayed Hong Yi's life, and today I have made up my mind to marry her. In the remaining few years of my life, I only want to be with her and write for her!"
Wei Changli felt a little emotional after hearing this, and then pointed his finger behind him. Lei Hongyi was already standing at the door without knowing when, and his face was filled with tears when he heard Lu Daoxuan's confession.
Lu Daoxuan mustered up the courage to step forward and took Lei Hongyi's hand.
"My sober days may become less and less in the future. Hongyi, are you willing to marry this old fool like me?"
Lei Hongyi hugged Lu Daoxuan and nodded continuously.
"I do, I do!"
"While I'm awake now, and Chang Li is here, why don't we get married now?"
"I listen to you"
Wei Changli was really happy for Lu Daoxuan and couldn't help but applaud.
"Then let's do it tonight. We won't invite anyone else. Let's find a few old guys from our Wenfu nearby to be happy for you. Let's have a drink of your wedding wine. The rest of us can just send a letter to let you know."
"It seems like I really have to call myself brother and sister-in-law from now on."
"OK"
Wei Changli summoned a few herrings from the sky and notified several instructions from the Wen Mansion using the fish book. The remaining friends did not invite them, but simply informed them.
No. 11, Mahuang Lane, has never been so lively as before. After Yang Xiangru received the fish letter, he directly gave the students a holiday. Yan Jiaozheng did not dare to delay for a moment. Only Meng Kuyin is still there today.
In Yunlu, there were also several old scribes from the Qing capital who came to the scene.
Both Lu Daoxuan and Lei Hongyi are already in their twilight years. At this moment, their white hair and red makeup complement each other perfectly.
"I really didn't expect that the dignified No. 1 painter of Yuling would have the courage to get married at this age. It's really admirable."
Gu Changkang was also a great painter in Qingdu, and his cultivation level was not much different from Lu Daoxuan.
"Lao Gu, just admiration is not enough. My wife is pregnant. Don't you prepare some gifts?"
"Lu Daoxuan, you are so shameless. I have given birth to seven sons, and I have never seen you give me anything."
Although Gu Changkang was full of resentment, he still took out a few pieces of drawing paper from his microphone.
"Of course, how can I compare with you? At least I know some etiquette. The child you gave birth to is naturally talented in painting. I gave him these three top-quality Five Clouds Quicksand Notes."
"Mr. Lu, I also prepared a small gift," Yang Xiangru said.
Lu Daoxuan was very polite and received his bookcase directly.
"In the past, I would have been more aloof, but it's not easy to have a child at this age, let alone an apprentice who is careless, so I accepted them all, no less is not too much!"
"There is no one next to the student, but there is more gold and silver, so I will give you a big ticket," an old man said with a smile.
"Fu Baoshan, we are all scribes, it's too vulgar for you to give us banknotes."
The man in front of him was Fu Baoshan, the previous governor of Qingdu.
Lu Daoxuan said he was dissatisfied, but after looking at the amount, he collected the bill, put it on his chest and patted it with his hand.
"Mr. Lu, if you find it vulgar, don't ask for it."
Originally, it was only people who knew each other well from Qingdu and Wenfu came to celebrate, but unexpectedly, demons from Tiandu also came in droves, and the light from the sky above Qingdu fell like clouds into the courtyard.
"Hu Meiniang congratulates Mr. Xilu on his wedding."
"You're welcome, Demon King. Please take a seat. My apprentice has been taken good care of by the Demon King in Tiandu Mountain. He is ill and has not come to express his gratitude in person. Let's prepare some wine here to express our gratitude."
Lu Dao
The wedding banquet is very simple. After worshiping Heaven, Earth and Wenfu, the husband and wife bow to each other and the ceremony is over.
There were scribes who were not allowed to drink. Lu Daoxuan held Lei Hongyi in one hand and held the wine in the other, and toasted them all.
Just as the banquet was about to end, another extremely strong ray of light pierced the night sky and fell in the courtyard.
"Lu Daoxuan, I received a fish letter from Mr. Wei and knew that you were going to get married. I traveled thousands of miles and finally caught up."
The person who came was none other than Li Wenling. Li Wenling smiled like a child and his eyes were extremely pure.
But Lu Daoxuan stood in front of Li Wenling, his expression was a little cold, and then he asked
"Who are you?"
The lively banquet in the courtyard suddenly became cold.
"Who am I? Your joke is not funny at all"
Li Wenling felt wronged and curled his lips, thinking that Lu Daoxuan was joking.
"Wen Ling, during the Battle of Xihe, my senior brother suffered from old illnesses and new injuries and became delirious after returning to the Qing capital. In the past few years, he has been confused more than he is awake. Now he is ill again. Don't worry about it." Wei
Chang Li said.
After Li Wenling heard this, he burst into tears.
The two had known each other for seven hundred years and exchanged letters constantly. Lu Daoxuan helped him relieve his boredom. He planted millions of peach trees for Lu Daoxuan. He never thought that his best friend would forget him.
"Lu Daoxuan, when I was trapped in Xihe, I went to all the places you wrote in the letter to me. I just wanted to tell you that I was going to write a travelogue. Why did you do this!"
Although Lu Daoxuan was confused, the wedding banquet continued. Li Wenling was drinking and crying, and Wei Changli stopped trying to persuade him.
However, during the dinner, Wei Changli received a fish letter. The color of the fish was different from the ordinary ones, but a kind of red. This was the most urgent fish letter from Wenfu.
Everyone turned their attention to it. After Wei Changli finished reading, the spiritual power in his body could not be restrained and the wine table exploded. The fish book in his hand also turned into powder.
The people who were able to come to No. 11 were all old acquaintances of Wei Changli and Lu Daoxuan, and they had a very good relationship. They had never seen Wei Changli so angry.
