Chapter 134
Chapter 134
Soon, the much-anticipated day arrived.
Le Zheng Shuiling and Le Zheng Qiming were worried that Le Zheng Yuhua would run away from the marriage, so they didn't dare let him out of their sight for a moment.
Le Zheng Yuhua couldn't help but find it funny, because they were doing something meaningless. If she really wanted to escape the marriage, they would definitely support her and would not care about any consequences.
In fact, I had this thought a few days ago. The closer it got to July 15th, the more uneasy I felt.
The night before, he was still thinking about just abandoning everything and running away. When it was dawn and he started to wash and change his clothes, Le Zheng Yuhua suddenly accepted it, and he himself couldn't understand why.
I didn't feel as embarrassed as I did at the beginning, nor did I feel like I was forced to do it. I just felt that this was a very natural thing.
Maybe this is what he called "let it be", Le Zheng Yuhua thought so.
Looking at the two of them, they were even more nervous than herself, so Le Zheng Yuhua couldn't help but tease them.
He deliberately acted like he was going to run away from the marriage in front of them, and seeing them nervous and at a loss, and then suddenly calmly expressed his support, Le Zheng Yuhua could not help laughing out loud. Then they realized they were being fooled, but instead of getting angry, they laughed along with him.
"The day has finally come."
Le Zheng Shuiling sighed as she watched the crowd pouring into Sanyeju.
The three of them smiled at each other, and then began to walk towards the Painting City step by step according to the rules.
Le Zheng Yuhua is a trainee Taoist from Sanyeju. According to the rules, he has to bid farewell to his master in Sanyeju, accept his master's blessing, and then walk out of Sanyeju step by step.
Before leaving for Huacheng to pick up the bride, one must go to the ancestral hall to pay respects and offer toasts to the ancestors and inform them of the situation.
Then, after accepting the instructions from the head of the family, they set off, led by three masters, amid the expectations of the people of Jimen Pass.
Since Le Zheng was only the acting head of the family and there was an additional assistant head of the family, he had to accept instructions from both of them.
The wedding band only saw them off at the city gate, and then welcomed them back when they came back. Therefore, the actual wedding procession that set foot on Painted City consisted of only the Taoist priests and children.
The three masters are Le Zhengling, Le Zhengqing and Le Zhengbo. Le Zhengling was the master who showed up at the last marriage recruitment, so she will be the leader this time as well.
Yue Zhengqing is the master who has been managing all of Yue Zheng's sacrificial, wedding and other matters. Due to the close distance and the status of the Mu family, he personally came forward this time.
Le Zhengbo was the master who asked to accompany him on his own because he felt that going on his own would not be smooth sailing. Le Zhengqin agreed to his request based on this consideration.
In addition, there were several disciples of the three masters and twenty maids, including twelve boys and eight maids, four each at the front and back of the wedding car, all holding a lantern.
As Le Zhengfang's only disciple, Le Zhengfang was fully responsible for this matter, so she was responsible for sending the wedding procession out of Jimen Pass and waiting for them to return at the city gate.
Le Zheng Yuhua was surrounded in the middle, with Le Zheng Shuiling and Le Zheng Qiming on the sides.
This time, Yue Zheng Shui Ling was wearing the clothes of a Taoist apprentice and finally rode on a horse. Unlike last time, she was not laughing or playing, so the team was very quiet, with only the sounds of carriages and horses and footsteps.
Le Zhengling and Le Zhengbo were both extremely alert and kept an eye on the surrounding situation. Fortunately, there were rice fields on both sides, providing an excellent view.
There is just a section of road ahead that is blocked by trees on both sides, and it is also the place where it is most vulnerable to ambush.
There is an inn there, which is a place for travelers to rest, and it should be the place where they rest on this journey.
For safety reasons, they both thought it was best to leave as soon as possible. So Le Zhengling asked everyone to rest by the bridge in advance, and no one objected.
"Brother Yuhua, here you go."
After Le Zheng Shuiling handed him the water, he sat down and started eating the steamed buns in big mouthfuls. He had gotten up too early to prepare for it and was already starving.
While drinking water, Le Zheng Yuhua looked at the river, feeling that he had drunk this water somewhere before.
"Is this river connected to the natural barrier?"
"Yes, it comes from the natural barrier, and there are many tributaries, and then they converge there. It's a big river. Occasionally, people go there to fish. By the way, there is a river crossing outside Jimen Pass. Let's go there and take a look when we have a chance. I heard that the scenery is very beautiful."
"That river ferry is rarely used now. It was built many years ago and is now mainly used as a resting place for fishermen."
Jimen Pass had very little communication with the outside world, and Le Zheng Yuhua thought it was normal for the river crossing to be abandoned, so he didn't ask the reason.
In order to get back to the city before dark, they not only left home very early, but also only rested for a short while before setting off again, and they could rest better when they arrived at the Painted City.
Because of what happened with Le Zheng Qiming and Qin Chu, the three of them actually thought about the possibility of an assassination happening again, but when they saw Le Zhengbo accompanying them, they felt relieved.
There was still some distance to the Painted City, and there were already quite a few people waiting on the side. They saluted each other, and then stepped into the Painted City step by step amid shouting.
Many people from Huacheng gathered at the city gate. They saw Lian Yi in the crowd greeting them. Le Zheng Shuiling couldn't help but waved at her, causing Lian Yi to cover her mouth and laugh.
In Huacheng, Le Zheng Yuhua, as the groom, had to accept the rules of the Mu Mansion again. Others could take a break and slack off for a while if they wanted to.
After struggling for half an hour, Mu Xin finally came out, supported by Yun Xiu and surrounded by everyone.
She was covered with a red veil embroidered with mandarin ducks. Le Zheng Yuhua could not see her appearance, but the strange fragrance on her body was enough to confirm that it was her.
For some reason, Le Zheng Yuhua always felt that something was wrong, but he could only follow the rules of the Mu Mansion.
Before Mu Xin went out, they had to go and pay their respects to her parents together, so Le Zheng Yuhua supported Mu Xin and walked in together.
The atmosphere inside the door was also not right. Sitting there was the sad and reluctant Madam Mu, and the slightly frowning Mr. Mu. The chairs on both sides seemed to be empty and yet empty.
Following Yunxiu's instructions, he offered tea to Mr. Mu and Madam Mu, and then accepted their heartfelt words entrusted to their daughter.
"Uncle, like this."
Yun Xiu reminded him to put his forehead on Madam Mu's hand and accept Madam Mu's caress.
At this moment, Mu Xin suddenly reached out and grabbed his clothes, as if she wanted to say something, but Kele Zheng Yuhua didn't hear it.
After all the formalities were completed, they walked out of the door together. Le Zheng Shui Ling looked at the two of them and couldn't help but want to run over, but in the end she endured and waited for them to come over, with Yun Xiu following beside them.
"We can go back now."
"Ah."
Le Zheng Shui Ling was stunned for a moment, standing there stupidly, but they had already walked past.
"What are you daydreaming about? Don't you want to go back?"
"Huh? No."
Le Zheng Shuiling looked at their backs and had an indescribable strange feeling. She thought that this was the Mu Mansion and nothing could possibly happen. She thought that Le Zheng Yuhua was shy. After all, she had never seen a shy Le Zheng Yuhua.
They walked out of the Painted City with everyone's farewell. Le Zheng Shuiling and Le Zheng Qiming could not help but look back. Lian Yi was no longer there. They looked at the words "Painted City" on the city wall. They felt as if they would never come back after this separation. They felt a little lonely. They could only look at each other and comfort each other with smiles.
Only after they walked away did Lian Yi squeeze through the dispersed crowd to the front and look at their team for a long time.
"After this farewell, I don't know when we will meet again."
A magpie flying around her fell to the ground and turned into a human body.
"This is just the beginning. As long as we are alive, we will meet again."
"Isn't it time for you to get up?"
"Don't worry, if you can catch up, just let them go away."
She turned into a magpie again, flapped her wings and flew into the city. Lian Yi kept staring at her until her figure disappeared.
"You are the only one who can accompany her now, Yunxiu. I hope we can meet again one day."
She turned around and turned into a butterfly.
