Ding Shaoyu was chatting and laughing with Su Xiaoxiao all the way, and they were so unhappy. Zhu Jianchun looked at the two of them being so intimate all the way, and his lungs almost exploded with anger. Fortunately, not long after, some of the prince's men chased him, saying that the emperor had something urgent to ask Zhu Jianchun.
, and asked Zhu Jianchun to enter the palace immediately.
Although Zhu Jianchun was reluctant to leave, he knew that with Ding Shaoyu here, he could not get involved with Su Xiaoxiao. It was better to go back to meet the emperor first, and then find another opportunity to spend time with Xiaoxiao alone.
Without Zhu Jianchun as a light bulb, Ding Shaoyu and Su Xiaoxiao are more free.
When they arrived at Xiangguo Temple, Su Xiaoxiao knelt down in front of the Bodhisattva. Ding Shaoyu also wanted to kneel down with her, but Su Xiaoxiao stopped him. Although Ding Shaoyu was puzzled, he still stood quietly by the side, waiting for Su Xiaoxiao.
Su Xiaoxiao knelt on the futon, clasped her hands, closed her eyes and muttered something. Her voice was very low. Ding Shaoyu couldn't hear what she was saying, but he could tell that she was asking Bodhisattva for blessings for others. Ding Shaoyu was a little disappointed, but still calm.
Wait quietly for Su Xiaoxiao to finish kneeling down.
After finishing reciting, Su Xiaoxiao bowed three times to the Bodhisattva. Ding Shaoyu thought she was going to get up and leave, but Su Xiaoxiao pulled him and knelt down together, "Shaoyu, let's worship the Bodhisattva together and ask the Bodhisattva to bless us in the future."
together forever."
When Ding Shaoyu heard this, he was so happy that all the disappointment he felt just now was gone.
After kneeling down to worship the Bodhisattva, Su Xiaoxiao pulled Ding Shaoyu to the marriage tree.
"Shao Yu, let's throw the marriage lottery! I heard that as long as you throw the marriage lottery with the names of two people on the marriage tree, the lovers will get married and never be separated for life."
Ding Shaoyu didn't believe these things at first, but seeing that Su Xiaoxiao was in high spirits, he still took the marriage sign with Su Xiaoxiao and wrote their names with great interest.
"I'll throw it!" Su Xiaoxiao took the marriage sign and threw it on the marriage tree. Who knows after throwing it several times, the marriage sign still fell down. Su Xiaoxiao picked up the dropped marriage sign, feeling more and more uneasy.
Strongly, Ding Shaoyu saw Su Xiaoxiao's depressed look and asked her with concern what was wrong.
"Shao Yu, last time I came to throw the marriage sign, but I couldn't get it up after throwing it more than a dozen times. After that, I was knocked off the cliff. I also implicated Ye Xiao and his whereabouts are still unknown. Shao Yu, is it us?
Why can't my marriage be recognized by God? So, as soon as I asked God for our marriage, so many things happened."
Seeing that Su Xiaoxiao was in a low mood, Ding Shaoyu felt extremely distressed. He held Su Xiaoxiao's hand tightly, brought it to his lips and kissed it tenderly. He comforted her softly, "Maybe it was too windy just now, or maybe you didn't have enough strength.
Maybe it's not in the right position, let me do it, I'll definitely be able to throw it up."
After hearing what Ding Shaoyu said, Su Xiaoxiao felt relieved and handed the marriage sign to Ding Shaoyu.
Ding Shaoyu gave Su Xiaoxiao a reassuring smile and threw the marriage sign against the tree with all his strength. His strength was obviously enough, but unexpectedly a strong wind came and blew the marriage sign off.
Ding Shaoyu was not discouraged and threw it a dozen times more, but every time it was either blown down by the wind, or it fell off inexplicably after being hung on a branch. The lovers around him could sign their marriage with just one or two throws.
Throw it up.
Seeing Su Xiaoxiao's increasingly unhappy face, Ding Shaoyu did not believe in evil and continued to throw away.
From afternoon to sunset, couples came and went, and finally only Ding Shaoyu and Su Xiaoxiao were left under the marriage tree.
"Shaoyu, don't give up. Our marriage will definitely not be blessed by God. My uncle and sister-in-law's forbidden love must have offended God and they are angry."
"Xiaoxiao, don't worry, you can definitely throw it up." Ding Shaoyu said, and was about to throw it to the marriage tree again. At this time, the old woman who set up the red lottery stand came over and advised her earnestly, "Young man, marriage
Trees are very smart. According to my old lady, if your marriage is not recognized by Yue Lao, then the marriage lottery will be tossed out all afternoon. In my opinion, young people, the days ahead are still so long, forget it.
Come on, let's find another one, don't force it, there will be no good results if we force ourselves to be together."
"Nonsense!" Ding Shaoyu got angry, and the old woman sighed, "It's fine if young people don't believe me. If you regret it in the future, you won't regret taking the medicine."
After saying that, the old woman hunched over and left the marriage tree, leaving Su Xiaoxiao and Ding Shaoyu looking at each other.
"Shao Yu, I think the old lady is right, our relationship is a taboo..."
"I don't believe in evil, nor do I believe in fate. Xiaoxiao, our future is in our own hands, and no one else can stop it! God and God are all lies! I don't believe it!"
Su Xiaoxiao looked at Ding Shaoyu worriedly. The uneasiness in her heart was like ripples on the surface of a lake where small stones had been thrown, rippling around and getting bigger and bigger.
Seeing that Su Xiaoxiao was unhappy, Ding Shaoyu looked coldly at the marriage tree under the faint twilight. The marriage tree was covered with red and bright marriage signs, dancing gently with the dinner at dusk. Wasn't it just that I couldn't throw them away? I just
If you don’t believe it, you can’t get this marriage ticket!
An idea flashed in Ding Shaoyu's mind, and he smiled brightly at Su Xiaoxiao, "Xiaoxiao, look at me!"
Su Xiaoxiao was still thinking that she couldn't throw it up no matter how hard she threw it, so she might as well forget it. Then she saw Ding Shaoyu's tall body flying up in the air. He was as light as a swallow hanging on the marriage tree. He hung the marriage sign on the branch.
Falling lightly back to the ground.
"How is it? Isn't it up now?" Ding Shaoyu looked pleased, and Su Xiaoxiao was also very happy.
"Miss, it's almost dark, we should go back!"
Qiu'er's call came not far away. Ding Shaoyu and Su Xiaoxiao looked at each other and smiled, holding hands and leaving the Marriage Tree.
Just after the two turned around and left, the marriage sign with the names of Su Xiaoxiao and Ding Shaoyu suddenly floated down. After fluttering in the air for a while, it fell quietly to the ground. The red sign paper glowed under the faint twilight.
With an aura of sadness, the red color was as gorgeous as being dyed red by blood.
Time flies, and half a month has passed quickly. Su Xiaoxiao is taking care of the housework at home. Although the ladies and ladies occasionally make noises, nothing serious happens. Bai Xue will never come to Su again after the hanging incident.
I pay my respects to Xiao Xiao, and rarely go out. I don’t know what to do in my small courtyard every day.
The second lady Mo Qingqing's belly has bulged slightly, and the third lady Qianyun's face is getting more and more solemn. Every time she sees Mo Qingqing, she will make fun of her. When she comes to Su Xiaoxiao, she always teases Mo Qingqing's belly intentionally or unintentionally.
It stimulated Su Xiaoxiao, but Su Xiaoxiao didn't care about Ding Shaoze at all. He only waited for Ding Shaoze to return so that he could ask him for a divorce letter. From then on, he had nothing to do with the Ding family, so he didn't take Qianyun's stimulation at all seriously.
But there is nothing discordant with the other ladies.
At the same time, Su Xiaoxiao entrusted Gu Zhiqiang, Zhu Jianchun and Ding Shaoyu to help, and sent three teams to secretly search for the whereabouts of Ye Xiao. However, Ye Xiao seemed to have disappeared from the world, and there was no news.
Su Xiaoxiao also sent people to check the bottom of the valley where the cliff fell, and also sent divers to check the bottom of the lake, but no body of the night owl was found. Su Xiaoxiao firmly believed that the night owl was still alive. As for why he didn't come to find her,
Su Xiaoxiao didn't know the reason, so he just hurriedly asked three teams to check the whereabouts of Ye Xiao.
Unfortunately, there was still no news about Ye Xiao. Su Xiaoxiao was really worried about Ye Xiao's safety, so he paid a hundred thousand taels of silver to ask a famous intelligence ranger in the world to help find news about Ye Xiao. He also asked Zhu Jianchun to come forward, and invited a famous intelligence ranger in the capital to come forward.
The detectives are searching for the whereabouts of night owls all over the country.
Even so, Night Owl still seems to have disappeared from the world, and there is no news at all. It is true that no one is alive or dead.
"The eldest young lady, the eldest young madam, the eldest young master's personal servant is back!"
On this day, Su Xiaoxiao and Qiuer were lying on bamboo chairs under the tall osmanthus tree in Lichun Courtyard to enjoy the coolness. They were holding the iced sour plum soup made by Ding Shaoyu using ice cubes stored in his cellar. They hadn't had time to enjoy it yet.
, and saw the housekeeper running over anxiously, waving to Su Xiaoxiao as he ran.
Su Xiaoxiao put down the sour plum soup and asked loudly to the housekeeper, "Butler, what's going on?"
"Madam, the young master's personal servant is back! He is waiting for Madam's instructions outside the door."
"Where's Ding Shaoze?"
"The eldest young master did not come back. Only the young man came back. He said that he had something important to say to the eldest young lady, and he also said that he could only talk to the eldest young lady."
Su Xiaoxiao didn't think much and asked the housekeeper to bring the person over. Soon, she saw a lean man in his twenties following the housekeeper into the Lichun Courtyard. The man was dusty and dusty.
He was described as haggard, dressed in ragged clothes, his eyes were bloodshot, and his hair was messy. He seemed to have traveled all night.
"Madam, please go and save the young master!" As soon as the young man saw Su Xiaoxiao, he knelt down and shouted in a hoarse voice, kowtowing like he was pounding garlic.
With a 'bang' sound, Su Xiaoxiao became anxious and touched the sour plum soup on the table with his hand, knocking the sour plum soup to the floor. The amber sour plum soup flowed all over the floor, and the white porcelain pieces also shattered all over the floor.
"What happened to Ding Shaoze?"
Seeing the young man's appearance, Su Xiaoxiao knew that something serious must have happened to Ding Shaoze. The young man kowtowed his head desperately and cried in a hoarse voice, "Young madam, even if the eldest young master was not good to you that day, please look after me overnight.
For the sake of your husband and wife's hundred-day kindness, please save him!"
Su Xiaoxiao was confused by the boy's words. When did she say she wouldn't save Ding Shaoze? Besides, even if she wanted to save him, she had to figure out what was going on first!
"Young madam, the eldest young master's life is hanging by a thread. The younger one wrote many letters in the eldest young master's name, begging the young madam to rush to Miao territory to save the eldest young master's life, but the young madam has not been seen for a long time.
The young master was dying, and the Miao leader refused to save the young master, so he had to rush back. Young madam, please go to the Miao territory to save the young master. If you don't go, the young master will be dead!" said the boy!
After that, he fell on the ground and cried loudly.
