Chapter 47 Chapter Twelve

"Xue Yi, what was written in the letter?" Seeing Xueyi's appearance suddenly, he woke up and said that he was very curious, so he asked again. Hearing his question, Mei Ling suddenly became more nervous, and subconsciously folded the letter between her hands tightly, as if she was afraid of being taken away by Xingyan. "Uh!" Seeing her in such embarrassment, Xing Yan felt a little apologetic.Seeing Xue Yi's reaction like this, the letter tightly clutched in her hand is most likely Ling Yi'er's private words to her; Literally. Thinking of this, he smiled shyly, and was about to turn around and walk away.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, the woman who had always been obedient to him finally woke up.Thinking of waking up and asking her about the letterhead just now, she dared not really disobey even though she was full of embarrassment and embarrassment.Dang even with a red face, struggled to move in front of Xingyan, lowered her head, contemptuously, handed the letter to Xingyan with trembling jade hands; and once Xingyan took it, she seemed to be stung by a bug, and followed I was startled, turned around suddenly, my steps became extremely brisk, and I ran to the bamboo forest in the west, leaned against a tallest green bamboo and covered my face with my hands, my pretty face was almost buried in my chest forward!

"Uh……" "Then let's see what's written in the letter!" I always feel that Xueyi's behavior today is a bit strange, so Xingyan doesn't care about other things, and quickly unfolds the letterhead, and reads it honestly. At that time, it was the sunrise on Donggang, and the golden sun slanted down, reflecting the stone cliffs with swaying bamboo shadows in a picturesque way.In the shadow of the whirling sun, the thin piece of paper that was being read in Zhang Xingyan's hands seemed to contain infinite magic power. Just now, it made the noble woman become beautiful and beautiful, and then suddenly made the calm and calm Daozi become fascinated. Mixed feelings.In the bright sunlight, the young Daozi's handsome and dusty face is like the misty bamboo shadows in the bamboo forest in the west of the cliff, joy, embarrassment, sadness, and joy, all kinds of expressions flashed across his face like a revolving lantern. Occasionally, a pool of spring water is thrown into a stone, and the ripples that spread out from the heart do not know when it will calm down.

Qingya was calm, the wind stopped the dust, as if everything had calmed down together, waiting for the hall master to give the answer to the letter. So contemplative and silent, wandering, suddenly saw the woman in snow-clothes beside the green bamboo forest who bowed her head shyly and shyly, she had the answer in a moment of waking up. "Xueyi~" "……Ok?" Hearing the wake-up call, the girl who only buried her head in shame was startled suddenly, like a frightened little white rabbit, raised her head in a panic to agree, then lowered her head, twirling her skirt with her hands and looking at her toes.

"what!" At this moment, regardless of her shyness, Xingyan said loudly: "Xueyi, I have already thought about what Yi'er said in her letter, but I was too busy to speak in time. I just mentioned it today, so I'll ask you—" Speaking of this, the hall master of Shangqing secular family, who was a monk halfway and used to have a playful smile, suddenly became extremely serious, with a solemn tone, and said loudly with a serious face: "Xueyi, in fact, I have long wanted to marry a wife. Cough! Are you willing to marry me?" Is it?" ... One word shocked the sky, and the mountains and rivers were silent for a moment.

In an instant, the girl couldn't hear or see anything, she just felt that her body turned into a feather and fell into a crystal clear abyss, floating and floating, floating and floating towards the unfathomable the bottom of the abyss... "Xueyi..." I said it myself, but I saw that Xue Yi was silent and didn't respond, she was still leaning against the green bamboo as always, with a stiff body, as if she wasn't listening to herself at all. "Uh……" Seeing this, Xingyan suddenly became suspicious: "Did you really say what you said just now?" Doubtful, he opened his mouth wide, coughed, and confirmed the sound, then tentatively asked: "Xueyi... don't you want to?"

"……willing!!!" Blunting a word, his voice shook the forest, startling a few forest birds away in an instant! In an instant, the girl also came to her senses, she felt even more ashamed, she whimpered, stomped her feet and floated away, wanting to flee to the depths of the bamboo forest.Only after running a few steps, the person behind him said again: "Xueyi, don't go! Listen to me, I think since everyone has no objection to this matter, it's best to do it as soon as possible! Um, just It's best to catch up with the moon and half, and the full moon will be full of joy and happiness!"

Hall Master Zhang had a playful smile when he said this, and said with a cheeky smile: "Well, counting from today, it will be less than four or five days. Since we are getting married, there are many etiquette matters, and you and I have to hurry up. You can do it." , help me quickly!" "OK, all right……" Gossip less.In the past few days, Xingyan has been so busy that his feet never touch the ground.First, he went to report to Master Ming, explained to the head of Qinghe, the elders and friends in the sect, and sent a wedding invitation.Immediately afterwards, he took Xueyi back to Poyang Raozhou. Before entering the house, he went to the Dragon Palace at the bottom of Poyang Lake to report the details.At this time, the Sidu Dragon Lord and Dongting Lake Lord were already relatives, and considering that they had a verbal engagement with Lingyi before, they had to ask them for advice on the matter of marrying Xue.

When Xingyan brought the shy Mei Ling to Dehu Palace, presented Lingyi's letter, and explained the details, the Dragon Lord and Lake Lord were all reasonable gods who knew Xueyi's deeds. The clean and beautiful fairy is exactly what I feel pity for, so how can I stop it.Not only did they not obstruct, but when they were parting, they even brought out eight boxes of rare treasures from the Dragon King's treasury and presented them to Xue Yi as her dowry--immediately, this move made the plum blossom fairy who had always been lonely feel very grateful. I can't cry! Before leaving the Dragon Palace, Yun Zhongjun gave Xingyan another word of advice, saying that although they don't care about him marrying more, they must not follow the example of ordinary people in the future and care about the distinction between "wives and concubines"... After all, he still has a young heart. After hearing Lao Longjun's words, the elegant and free-spirited Hall Master Zhang still blushed, and ran away with his head in his arms while being obedient, extremely embarrassed...

Let's talk about the city of Raozhou. "The horseshoe Zhang family's little fairy is going to marry a wife!" Before May 15th, the news of the marriage spread in Raozhou, Poyang Lake.At this time, the Mashui Zhang family has become a celebrity on the ground, no matter the neighbors, restaurants or teahouses, almost everyone is talking about Xingyan's marriage.This one said: "Li San, why does the Zhang family boy want to marry a wife? Isn't he a monk?" "Ho ho ho!" Li San'er sneered three times when he heard this question, despising his old friend:

"Scary! Don't you know? There is a kind of Taoist priest in the Taoist family, called 'Huoju Taoist'. You can tell from the name that the kang they live in is hot—what do you think they can do without a wife?" "Yes, this dear friend has a high opinion!" Li San's old friend had no doubts, and a guest who traveled all over the place beside him even echoed: "I also heard that there are many Huoju Taoists in that sect. I have been to Lingnan a few times, so I know Chuanluo In the county, there is an old Taoist priest named Lingchu who came from the early Ming Dynasty. I heard that he married seven or eight wives, and now everyone respects him as a "member outsider"! Hehe, I heard Brother Li say today, It seems that everyone is calling him bad, he should be called 'Elder Huoju'! Hahaha!" Such gossip in teahouses is common among ordinary households, who also gobble their tongues.For example, in a certain house, there is a little boy in the corner who asks his mother who is picking up the soles: "Mother, tell me, is the bride of the little brother of the Zhang family beautiful?" "Pretty!" Hearing Xiaoya's question, his mother pulled out the needle and thread from the sole of the shoe, rubbed it on her hair, and said decisively: "Of course it's beautiful! Hehe. I heard from Aunt Liu San, who is next door to you, that she gave Zhang the Brother-in-law’s daughter-in-law combs and changes her clothes, alas, that little fairy’s unmarried wife looks just like the fairy daughter in the painting!” While accepting the shoes, the woman was full of praise: "I heard from your aunt Liu, the new daughter-in-law, her eyes are called watery, and her skin is called white and tender! Tsk tsk!" "Oh……" After hearing what the old lady said, the little boy bit his finger and thought: "It turns out that Zhang's little brother's bride is the same as the cabbage in Xiaopang's field and the white pig in Erniu's pen!" I don't know who's naughty little boy, with the image of Xueyi in his mind, suddenly remembered the cabbage and pork dumplings at home during the Chinese New Year, drooling, jumped on the bamboo couch and shouted: "Mother, mother! Tonight Xiaoqing is going to marry a bride too!" "Boom!" Without asking, I knew that before the words fell, the so-called little girl ate a "burst chestnut" on the head. Apart from these gossips, there are also people who are nervously preparing for Xingyan's wedding.For example, on the day of the 14th, in the Daoxiang restaurant where Xingyan used to work, the new accountant was out of his mind all day long, staring at the door curtain all the time, as if he was waiting for some important person. "It's strange, this Gui tent has always been honest and never made mistakes, why did it look like a lost soul today, and made several mistakes in the accounts?" Looking at this new tent that he admired, the chubby shopkeeper Liu of Daoxianglou was really puzzled.Seeing Mr. Accountant like this, if it wasn't for the imminent wedding of the Great Immortal Zhang, and because of his low wages, shopkeeper Liu would have already lost his temper! In fact, the chubby shopkeeper with naked eyes didn't know that the strange-looking accountant in front of him actually had a good background.The current tent of Daoxianglou is actually a demon spirit in the mountains, named Guiqing, a veritable thousand-year-old osmanthus tree in the Qilian Mountains. This Gui Qing was also a well-known demon merchant among the demon tribe, famous for selling "Suppressing Demon Pills".However, when the Yaozu, under the leadership of the Xuanling leader, made an alliance with the four tribes of the six realms, no longer hating, no longer being enemies, his pills called for clearing up the demon atmosphere and concealing the demon energy disappeared. He had no choice but to change his face. With the abundant capital accumulated in many years of business, he finally won the bidding among the thousands of demon spirits of the demon clan, and got the Daoxiang restaurant where the leader had practiced as an ordinary account clerk.For this thousand-year-old Gui Jing, it can be said that although the leader's efforts ruined his livelihood for many years, he is extremely sincere and grateful!Although in the past, selling the pills to conceal the evil spirit made quite a bit of money, whether it was a buyer or a businessman, the transaction was full of humiliation.How can they not be grateful to the noble priest who has boundless magic power to rescue them from such a humiliating life? Because of this, Gui Qing, who has always been meticulous and orderly, was overjoyed when he heard that the leader was about to get married. He actually let the abacus, which has never been wrong for hundreds of years, miss so much in a day. back!If it weren't for the master's previous shopkeeper's high cultivation, he felt that he might have been kicked out long ago. Just like this, he was restless, until the sun turned to the west, the door curtain suddenly rang, and finally seven or eight rough warriors with strange faces broke in.As soon as he entered the door, the leader yelled at him like no one else: "Gui Laosi, why is he dawdling? Why don't you hurry up to our Gongzhu Yicheng rehearsal tonight?!" "Oh! Here it comes!" Seeing his companions coming, Gui Qing hurriedly stood up from behind the counter, and said in response: "Everyone, I'm about to leave too, please wait a moment!" After greeting, he turned out of the counter, came to shopkeeper Liu and gave a deep salute, pleading: "Treasurer Liu, I have some entertainment with these friends tonight, please allow me three hours' leave." "What? Leave?!" Shopkeeper Liu felt as if his tail had been stepped on, his brows crooked, his mouth grinning, and hissed hissing, as if he had just been bitten by a dog and suffered great grief.However, just when he was about to have an attack, for some reason, his expression suddenly softened, he changed his mind, smiled brightly, and said kindly to Gui Jing in front of him: "Okay, isn't it just asking for a vacation, why do you think it's a big deal! Go, go, go early , don’t miss it! Haha, hahaha!” So condescending before and after, none of the onlookers understood; when Gui Qing and his party left, looking at the still shaking door curtain, the fat treasurer Liu was lost in thought alone, weighing the large ingot of snow-silk silver that was tightly clutched in his hand. Judging from his many years of experience, the amount and volume are correct, so shopkeeper Liu, who has experienced many vicissitudes, was full of confusion: "Strange! This Xiaogui, the salary I promised him for more than two months is not worth this silver hundred. One-tenth! Although it can be seen that he used to be a rich man with some savings, but in order to ask for leave...is he sick?!" However, although hesitant, Fat Liu, who loves money like his life, doesn't care so much.Hey, if this counts as a disease, then he really wants all the guys under him to be terminally ill! Gossip less.In a blink of an eye, it was the fifteenth day of May.Marriage is a major event in life; but this time with Xueyi, Xingyan has other considerations about how to organize the wedding. Over the past few years of getting along, he has become very familiar with Xue Yi's temperament.Although in the eyes of others, this Kou Xueyi is a natural beauty, elegant and refined, not to be taken lightly, but after seeing each other day and night in the past few years, Xingyan knows that under the unattainable appearance of this elegant and beautiful Mei Ling, there is actually a deep hidden truth. With an indelible inferiority complex, it is almost the same as that of Qiongxi's little sister.No matter how I explained, instilled, or even threatened these years, this poor woman always felt that she was not a human being, so she felt inferior and felt sorry for herself.She thinks many normal things in the world are so beautiful, but she has no relationship with herself; although she looks calm on the surface, she is actually full of longing and hope for those ordinary things that ordinary people can't reach. Because of this understanding, I woke up to this marriage and secretly decided that this time I must give her a very grand and extraordinarily secular wedding.After making this decision, the first thing he did when he came to his hometown in Deraozhou was to find Mr. Ji, his enlightenment mentor, in the city, and borrowed a magnificent ancestral house from his house as Xueyi's boudoir before marrying.After arranging the wedding house, he took out the savings of treasures that the old dragon king had given him in the previous South China Sea War. After selling them, he sent a lot of money, and hired the elders and craftsmen from his hometown to work day and night at ten times the wages to prepare all the wedding ceremonies. While making such careful arrangements, he also meticulously completed the five ceremonies before a personal greeting out of the six ceremonies of marriage, accepting Cai, asking names, accepting auspiciousness, accepting a levy, and asking for a date, although many of them are known and predetermined, He is still meticulous, running back and forth, and finishing with his heart. During these ceremonies, according to the rules, it is forbidden to meet newcomers.Before the day of May 15th, it was fine for the hall master who was busy all day long. Although the woman who was hidden in the boudoir was surrounded by maids and women all day, it was very lively, but she had already tasted lovesickness. suffering.In such a conflicted mood of shyness, timidity and longing to see through, the day of May 15th finally arrived... The moment of personal welcome is set at dusk.According to the ancient scriptures, marriage lasts for a period of fainting, yin comes and yang goes, men greet women when fainting, women come because of men, it is marriage.Therefore, no matter how excited many people are, they must patiently watch the sun set until dusk. The weather in Raozhou on May 15th is very good.At sunset, the sun sets in the west and the moon rises in the east, and the streets and alleys of Raozhou City are shrouded in dim twilight.Layers of slightly moist evening fog replaced the old cooking smoke, curling up in the streets and alleys; in the transpiring night fog, houses collapsed one after another and gradually buried in the hazy fog.The small town, which had been noisy all day, suddenly became silent at this moment. It seemed that everyone was waiting for that moment. Gradually, when the afterglow dissipated and the sky turned into pure ice blue, the tall white horse carrying the charming guest finally walked into Rao City slowly. Da da da. Da da da…… Amidst the crisp sound of horseshoes, the team in red and colorful passed by; when they passed by, every household on the bluestone street lit the red candles in front of the door according to the custom.The twilight is silent, the candle shadows are flickering red, and thousands of flickering candles are connected together, lighting up a warm and harmonious route, gradually winding towards the deep house compound with tall red lights...
