Chapter 3(1/2)

It seemed as if to prove Fu Youqin's words, the Jiao family's wedding team was half an hour late before they arrived hurriedly.

The guard of honor should have been rushing all the way, and the formation was not even arranged in order. He ran to the door of the Wen family in a crooked manner before reorganizing the formation, beating gongs and drums to prepare to welcome the bride.

Wen Shuyue had already dressed up, changed into a wedding dress embroidered by herself, and sat on the wedding bed covered with red silk. She was nervously twisted her handkerchief, with a feeling of uneasiness and shyness.

"The people from the Jiao family are here." Dai Fu ran in with joyful expressions.

Wen Tian covered her with the red veil with his own hands and asked without hesitation, "Have Jiao Chang offered her?"

Dai Fu was stunned for a moment. The Jiao family's wedding team was half an hour late. If you don't hurry up, you will miss the auspicious time. The two families were noisy. After Wen Tian asked this, he remembered that he really didn't see the groom. The leader seemed to be one of Jiao Changxian's brothers.

"I didn't see it, it was messy outside."

Wen Tian hid the smile on his lips, relaxed his tense nerves, and handed Wen Shuyue to his close maids, asking them to take care of Wen Shu.

He took Dai Fu forward to check the situation.

Before he stepped out of the door, Wen Tian could already hear the deafening sound of gongs and drums. Unlike the noise outside, the servants in the Wen Mansion stopped their movements, as if they were watching something.

In the front hall, Jiao Changxian's cousin Jiao Changqing sat in the guest seat with an awkward expression. Fu Youqin and Wen Boli sat in the main seat. The room was filled with a silent atmosphere, which was incompatible with the festive atmosphere outside.

"Dad, mom, what happened?" Wen Tian's arrival broke the silence. He looked like he knew nothing, and glanced at Jiao Changqing with confusion.

Jiao Changqing forced the corner of his mouth, looking at Fu Youqin, who looked obviously unhappy, explained: "It was indeed an accident that Changxian threw his legs. When he was about to get on the horse, the horse was shocked and threw him off the horse."

"Why did you think that the Jiao family was not satisfied with this marriage?" Wen Tian glanced at the expressions of everyone, as if he was joking unintentionally.

Sure enough, Fu Youqin and Wen Boli looked even more ugly when they heard this.

Jiao Changqing's eyes twitched, and his hand held in his sleeves tightly. He actually felt angry. Jiao Changxian was his cousin, and he had not said that he had been pressing him everywhere, but even the marriage was ahead of him. As a result, Jiao Changxian got better. He secretly went to Qinglou the night before the wedding. It was not until the next day that the Jiao family found that the person was gone.

At first they thought something happened, so they dispatched all the servants to search for the town with great fanfare, but in the end they found the people in Qing Building.

According to the servants who were looking for someone, Jiao Changxian and four prostitutes were messing around all night. When they found them, Jiao Changxian was still lying on the prostitutes. The girl refused to get up, and the room was full of shameful traces.

The fun was so big. The Jiao family had made a big noise before. Now the servants found it from the Qing Building and almost the whole town knew about it. The young master of the Jiao family had sex with four prostitutes one night before their wedding, and they couldn't even get married.

Not to mention how the reputation accumulated by the past has been corrupted, the Wen family alone cannot handle it.

They forced the person back, but Jiao Changxian was playing too crazy. He probably took a lot of fun medicines. When everyone was not paying attention, he got together with the maid who was serving the dressing. Seeing that the auspicious time was about to arrive, Jiao Changxian was still making trouble, but this marriage must not be ruined, so he simply lie and asked Jiao Changqing to come to welcome the bride.

As long as you welcome the person back, no matter what, it will be your own family’s business.

Jiao Changqing hoped that this marriage would not be done, but he could not violate the elder's words, so he could only put his face down and apologize. "My brother misunderstood this time. Changxian was infatuated with the lady. He originally insisted on coming, but his legs broke and he couldn't stand the bumps. Then his grandmother asked me to welcome the bride on his behalf..."

His words were sincere, except for Wen Tian, ​​the Wen family's parents were a little shaken.

Wen Boli looked outside, and the gongs and drums were still not stopped. He hesitated to discuss with his wife beside him, "Qinniang, the time is coming soon, do you think...?"

Fu Youqin sighed. Even the groom was not present. She was unwilling to hand over her daughter like this, but it was too unkind to make trouble for this. After all, Jiao Changxian fell down his leg. After thinking for a while, she still nodded in compromise.

Jiao Changqing smiled on his face, stood up and bowed to apologize, "Thank you for your understanding in-laws."

There was already a lot of time left. After getting the affirmation, Jiao Changqing hurried out to prepare. Wen Boli and Fu Youqin followed him out. Wen Tian deliberately landed at the back and reached out to pull Fu Youqin's sleeve.

Fu Youqin turned around strangely, "What's wrong?"

Wen Tian had already written a draft of the belly before, and at this time he lowered his eyes and expressed his worries, "I was shocked and my horse broke my leg on the wedding day. How could such a coincidence happen? Let's send someone to the Jiao family first to see what's safe."

Although Fu Youqin was unhappy with Jiao Changxian's absence, she did not expect that this level would go up. She hesitated: "Changxian is a good child, always caring about your sister. Maybe something happened this time, and this time it delayed the auspicious time..."

Wen Tian had long guessed that it would be the result.

Jiao Changxian had a very good disguise before. After the two families got engaged, he would visit him during the holidays and would occasionally send some small gifts to Wen Shuyue. If Wen Tian had not experienced what happened later, he would not have believed that these were the means by Jiao Changxian to deliberately deceive them, just for Wen Shuyue's dowry and the Wen family behind him.

So later Wen Boli gave up his wife and occupied the property of the Fu family and helped the concubine straighten her. Jiao Changxian followed suit and flirted with the concubine's niece.

"I asked Dai Fu to take the shortcut to go to the Jiao family to find out the news first, and it won't take time," Wen Tian shook Fu Youqin's sleeves. "I'm just a little worried. There will be no mistakes when I have to go and see it first. If it's okay, forget it. If the Jiao family is lying to us, it's better to let my sister get wronged when she gets married."

Fu Youqin felt something was right when he said this. Wen Shuyue was her only daughter. She has been proficient in both chess, calligraphy and painting since she was a child, and she has a gentle personality. If the Jiao family really lies, even if she regrets the marriage halfway, she will not be willing to let this only daughter marry her and be bullied.

"Okay, let Dai Fu go to find out the news first." Fu Youqin touched his head. Wen Tian was actually taller than her, but because of her delicate and innocent temperament, she couldn't help but treat him as a child. It was not until today that she realized that the child suddenly matured much and finally looked like an adult.

First, he told Dai Fu to go to Lehe Town to inquire about the news. Wen Tian told him the location of the old fisherman, and then went to the backyard.

Time was delayed for too long, and Fu Youqin fed Wen Shuyue with rice and ate two bites, then wiped her mouth with a handkerchief, and said half-smile and half-cry: "It's better to go out after you have enough food."

Wen Shuyue held her hand tightly, and the mother and daughter looked at each other, and couldn't help but turn red.

After eating the sedan chair, it was time to set off. Wen Tian re-covered the lifted veil, then squatted down and let Wen Shuyue lie on his back.

Wen Shuyue was a head shorter than him. Wen Tian was not struggling to carry her on her back. She grabbed the person with a steadily and walked out step by step with her back on her back.

There were gongs and drums in front of Wen Mansion, and firecrackers were ringing. Wen Tian walked across the brazier with Wen Shuyue on his back, and then placed her firmly in the sedan chair.

The curtain of the sedan fell, Wen Tian got on the horse, said goodbye to his parents, and followed the wedding team to Lehe Town with drums and drums.

After leaving Sifang Town, the wedding team did not take the official road, but turned to the path at Xishantou.

The Wen family has been wasting too much time and has to rush to the Jiao family before the auspicious time. Jiao Changqing made a conclusion and took everyone to the nearest road in Xishantou.

Although bandits in Xishantou are rampant, there are few bandits who dare to think about it with a large number of people like them.

The wedding party lined up in a long red row and slowly headed towards the west mountain.

*******

"Brother Chang Xi, they are heading to our mountain!"

A ten-year-old child flexibly climbed over a small hillside and said to the man hiding behind the hillside.

The big man named Chang Xi, who was a bandit from the West Mountain. When he heard that the bastard from the Jiao family was about to get married, he went down the mountain to guard the scum, preparing to teach the scum a lesson. He was worried about how many people were going to do it, but he didn't expect that this group of people would actually dare to borrow the road to his territory.

"Hehe, this is not the right thing. Brothers are worried that they won't find a chance to avenge your sister Xiao Qiao." Chang Xi jumped up from the grassland, spit out the grass roots in his mouth, swung the child on his back, and ran quickly towards the west mountain. "Let's go back and call someone to guard them. Today, grandpa insists on teaching a lesson to the Jiao boy, and the women in the West Village are also bullying!"

Xishantou is west of Sifang Town, and a small mountain range extends from Qitianling. Because the terrain is easy to defend but difficult to attack, it becomes the stronghold of Xishanzhai.

Xishanzhai has been established for some years, and there are many elderly, weak, women and children in the gang. The main business of men is still farming, so they go out to scare the rich people passing by and do some small business to earn extra money. Later, after the boss and the military advisor came, Xishantou gradually grew bigger and became a well-known bandit in Sifang Town, so few people dared to walk on the shortcut of Xishantou.

If the Jiao family had not relied on their large populations and power, they would not have dared to follow this path.

Chang Xi was familiar with the terrain and rushed back with the child on his back. Then he summoned a few brothers who could beat him and went to ambush on both sides of the mountain road.

Wen Tian rode his horse by the sedan chair, talking to Wen Shuyue in a low voice while looking back anxiously.

Dai Fu set out first before them, and walked faster during the day. After a while, it was time to come back with the news.

"Is it him?" Chang Xi pointed at Wen Tian who was following the sedan chair.

The child nodded, "Sister Xiao Qiao said that Jiao Changxian is so beautiful, he is the best here, it must be him."

Chang Xi narrowed his eyes and looked at him for a while. He was wearing red clothes and looked beautiful. It was true that Wen Tian was the only one who was following the sedan chair all the way. It was definitely the groom.

He pointed at the brother opposite and pointed to Wen Tian's direction, meaning to catch this later.

The opposite side replied with a clear gesture and lie in the grass and waited patiently.

The long queue of people walked forward slowly, Wen Tian looked back frequently, and when he turned around for the first time, he finally saw Dai Fu riding a horse at the end of the team.

He raised his lips, and Wen Tian looked at the Jiao family in front of him, and quietly recruited Dai Fu to his side.

"What did you find out?" Wen Tian deliberately slowed down a little and asked the sedan chair to leave first, so as not to hear Wen Shuyue.

After Dai Fu found out the news, he was afraid that he would not be able to catch up with him. He was not breathing evenly, so he lowered his voice and told the news he had asked for.

The result was similar to what Wen Tian expected. Jiao Changxian's scandal spread all over Lehe Town. Dai Fu asked for a little bit and knew everything.

"The Jiao family bullies people too much!" Wen Tian raised his hand with anger and stopped the moving team.

Jiao Changqing, who was walking in front, turned around in confusion and asked what was going on.

Wen Tian's anger was not hidden at all. He raised his head and pointed at Jiao Changqing's nose without hesitation, "You Jiao family is simply too bullying!"

Jiao Changqing was shocked and secretly happy. Could it be that they already knew about Jiao Changxian’s destruction...

"Brother, you are..."

Wen Tian widened his eyes angrily, even his cheeks turned red, "Do I want me to tell the scandal of your Jiao family in public?"

The Jiao family who followed him suddenly changed their faces. Jiao Changqing was secretly happy, but he explained with a hypocritical explanation, "Everything is a misunderstanding, I'll talk about something when I have something to do."

Wen Tian sneered, looking at the Jiao family's shameless behavior, he felt that new and old hatreds all surged up, without any mercy. "It's a blessing for the Jiao family to claim to be a scholarly family. I think even the beggar on the roadside is not as dirty and disgusting as Jiao Changxian. It's better if you don't get married!"

"Daifu, take the lady back!"

Dai Fu responded loudly and directed the sedan chairman to lift the sedan chair back. Everyone was forced to separate a path after unknown situations.

The Jiao family wanted to stop him, but Wen Tian whipped him back. The two of them who were in the lead roared and covered their wounds and snarled in pain. Jiao Changqing wanted to step forward, but when he saw his fierce expression, he retreated with fear.

Wen Tian sneered, "This is not over in the Wen family!"

*******

"What's going on with them?" The bandits lying in the grass were confused. They were far apart and could not hear what they were saying. They knew that the groom suddenly refused to let him go, and then drove the sedan chair back.

"Is this going to break off the engagement?"

Chang Xi spat into the grass, "Those who look good are not good things. After the disaster is over, Xiao Qiao will be in trouble, and another girl will be in trouble!"

Seeing that the people below were divided into two groups, there were only a few people left in the middle, which was a good opportunity to tie people up.

Chang Xi raised her body and waved her hand, "Brothers, come on!"

Four or five thick bandits rushed towards Wen Tian at the foot of the mountain like a wind. Chang Xi was quick and powerful. While everyone was not able to react, he slashed Wen Tian out with a knife, and then threw the person on his shoulder and ran away.
