In the afternoon, three fast horses drove out of the palace and ran towards the Jiucheng Palace to the west!
This strange scene was witnessed by many people at the gate of the palace. Several men dressed as passers-by carefully looked at the direction in which the fast horse was running, and then quickly got into the alley, without knowing where they were going.
Chang'an Xue Mansion.
Today is the big day for the eldest lady in the family to get married!
So the servants and maids in the family all put on new festive clothes and were busy crowding in the front yard, chattering and waiting for the arrival of the bride-to-be.
This also made the backyard of Xue Mansion feel even quieter.
In the small building in the back garden, Xue Pan was wearing a bright red wedding dress. She was sitting in front of the bed with a shy face, listening to a few friends in her girlfriends saying that they need to pay attention to today.
I don’t know where my mind has gone to.
"The groom is here!"
"The groom's official has entered the house!"
"The groom is here.
Downstairs, a little girl quickly passed on the news from the front. When he heard that Xiao Han had come here, Xue Pan was startled. Just as he was about to get up, the Wang sister, who had quick eyes and quick hands, reached out and pushed her down.
"Sister Xue, don't move! Come on, sisters, let's block the door!"
Following the rather domineering voice of the Wang sister, the women who had just been talking in the room immediately held their heads high and ran downstairs with a thump thump thump.
At this time, it was midsummer in June and July, and the sun hanging in the sky outside was like a fire, twisting the air.
As the groom's official, Xiao Han was all dressed up today, with a big red flower hanging on his chest. Looking from a distance, it looked like a red envelope...well, it was still a red envelope that made me faint due to heat.
After finally meeting his mother-in-law, brother-in-law, and Li Shimin, who was the woman's guest, he rushed to Xue Pan non-stop. He just wanted to pick them up and go home quickly!
Hey, I will never suffer this crime again until I die.
"Zhang...Zhang Qiang, are you warm?"
Surrounded by a group of onlookers, Xiao Han asked Zhang Qiang beside him with a pale face.
Zhang Qiang is today's best man, and he is dressed appropriately!
And what's even worse is that his best man's uniform is black! It absorbs more heat than Xiao Han's. Seeing that he hasn't fainted from heatstroke so far, Xiao Han admires this guy's heat resistance from the bottom of his heart.
"What do you think?" Zhang Qiang, who was walking on one side, heard Xiao Han ask him and reluctantly turned his head. Steam was rising on his face covered with sweat beads. He was indeed a passionate young man!
"Be patient, be patient and it will pass!"
Seeing Zhang Qiang's appearance, Xiao Han's face twitched for a few times, and he quickly spoke and whispered a few words of comfort to this guy. He would have to rely on him for a while, but he didn't dare to sacrifice at this time...
"Keep it up, I'll get over it..." Zhang Qiang roared in his heart!
However, no matter how angry he is, thinking about today, he can only knock out his teeth and swallow blood!
Today, people like Cheng Yaojin and Liu Hongji didn't dare to show up! All the other people who could show up went to the woman's side, leaving only him as the unlucky best man.
"Hey, forget it, for the sake of my brother, I have to go through mountains of swords and seas of fire... But how can I help him get married, which is more tiring than getting married myself?" Thinking this in his heart, Zhang Qiang walked forward.
Zhang Qiang didn't know how many steps he walked in a daze. When everyone around him suddenly stopped, Zhang Qiang knew he had arrived.
"What are you doing standing still? Reading poetry!"
He didn't know who pushed him, and Zhang Qiang staggered to the steps. He thought on his feet, imitated the look he had seen before, and recited the makeup poem he had prepared long ago.
"Miss Huanyan is a noble lady, and she is marrying into the Marquis Wu family. Mother Heaven mixes the powder, Brother Ri pity gives flowers. I urge you to lay out the hundred tents and wait for the seven-scented carriage. May I ask if the makeup has been completed? Do you want the morning glow in the east?"
After finishing the stuttering poem, the door in front of me was still closed! Not only that, there was also a faint sound of laughter coming from behind the door.
Xiao Han was feeling dizzy from being exposed to the sun. Seeing Zhang Qiang's helpless look, Xiao Han quickly winked at Xiaodong.
As today's companion Xiaosi, Xiaodong understood Xiao Han's eyes and took out a stack of red envelopes sealed with money from nowhere and handed them to Li Shentong who was watching the excitement with great interest.
"Give it to me?" A large pile of red envelopes was stuffed into his hand, and Li Shentong's eyes immediately went straight! It's not that he had never seen money before, it was actually the first time he had taken money from Xiao Han.
!
"Who told you to give it to you? Hurry up and use this thing to open the door for me. If you can't open it, be careful and I will kill you!" Xiao Han gritted his teeth and cursed angrily.
Li Shentong has been afraid of nothing since he was a child, except for his brother Li Jing and Xiao Han. Now seeing Xiao Han's ferocious appearance, he quickly thought of himself and ran to the door of the building in a few steps.
"Sister, sister, open the door! Can you open the door and get the gifts that our groom has prepared for the sisters?"
I have to say that the name Li Shentong is not for nothing. At such a young age, there is no ambiguity at all in pretending to be cute and deceiving people.
Unfortunately, the person blocking the door today was not a country girl who had never seen the world. Soon a clear sound came out: "Little brother, please pass the gift through the window. Let's see if it is enough to open the door?"
"Ahem, the window opening is too small, I can't pass it in." Li Shentong continued to act cute, but the expression on his face was as disgusting as if he had swallowed a fly.
"Then put it in the basket~" the female voice in the room said again.
"Basket? What basket?" Before Li Shentong and the group of people behind him could figure it out, they saw a window on the second floor open, and then a rope tied to a basket came loose...
However, that basket seemed a bit big, and Xiao Han felt that it should be called a basket more appropriately.
Li Shentong looked at the pile of red envelopes in his hand, and then at the "basket" in front of him that could accommodate him. He gestured, then rolled his eyes and ran down, stuffing all the red envelopes back into Xiaodong's hand... just
You can't even fill the bottom of someone's "basket" with this little stuff, but you still want to trick someone into opening the door?
When the plan failed, Xiaodong came up with another plan. In fact, it can't be called a plan. It can only be said to be a very old-fashioned trick: call the door!
"Open the door, the groom is coming~"
"Open the door quickly!"
Under the strenuous efforts of Xiaodong and Lengzi, the shouts outside became louder and louder!
But that wooden door remains motionless, no matter how loud you shout, it won't open!
After spending almost a stick of incense, Zhang Qiang, who felt that half of his life was gone, could no longer stand. He simply pulled his collar and called a few big and round people to the door, shouting slogans. After a few exertions,
, actually broke into the door!
Xiao Han was behind, and when he saw the door to the building opened, he was overjoyed. He was about to walk in, but was caught tightly by Butler Lu!
Without waiting to ask Butler Lu why he stopped him, Xiao Han only heard a scolding voice from the building: "Sisters, beat him!"
Then, there was a burst of ping-ping-pong-pong, and tinkling noises came from inside.
In the building, Zhang Qiang and others had just buried their heads and crashed in. Before their eyes could adjust to the dim light inside, several sticks were smashed down on their heads and faces, causing several people to become dizzy and run away clutching their heads.
