Happy Little Scholar

In recent days, the third prince launched a coup and the eldest prince sent troops to besiege the city. The entire Gyeonggi region has been affected to varying degrees.

In Shengzhou, the people were worried about the outcome of the war and complained, but the governor's office was full of joy.

Today is a happy day for the Governor's Mansion. The mansion is decorated with lights and colorful decorations, and there is an endless stream of guests coming and going in front of the mansion. There are two office clerks responsible for recording the gift lists, and they all write hard, and their wrists are sore from writing.

Every time the young master takes a concubine, there is an endless stream of people from nearby states giving gifts. This is the time when the governor's office gets the most money every year.

When Li Yi and Xu Laochang entered the governor's mansion, they naturally did not need to go through the main entrance.

They are all a group of masters who come and go. If they take the main entrance, how can they show their status as masters?

The most important thing is that they did not prepare gifts or invitations, and it would be too troublesome to rob on the spot...

While the rich wine and meat smell, the road with frozen bone.

The more troubled the times, the more obvious this gap becomes.

Many people in Shengzhou had no food to eat and no clothes to cover their bodies, but the governor's house was full of joy, with wine pools and meat forests, it was so lively.

This made the trace of guilt in Li Yi's heart for disturbing other people's good things disappear completely.

The back house is a secluded courtyard, isolated from all the hustle and bustle.

Xiu'er's face was full of anxiety. She paced around the room and murmured: "What to do, what to do, it will start soon. Mr. Li hasn't come here yet, what should I do..."

Lin Wanru sat on the edge of the bed, looked at Lin Yong beside her, and said, "You will take Xiu'er away later."

Lin Yong was stunned and asked: "What about you, Miss?"

Lin Wanru didn't look at him and said calmly: "I have my own way."

"No!" Lin Yong simply refused: "If the lady doesn't leave, we won't leave either!"

A look of determination appeared on Xiu'er's face, and she kept saying: "I'm not leaving either, I want to go and let's go together!"

There were footsteps outside the door. An old woman and several maids walked in. As soon as they entered the door, they said anxiously: "Oh, what time has it been? Why haven't you changed your clothes yet? It's almost too late. Hurry up, hurry up..."

The old woman looked at the maid next to her and said, "Why are you still standing there? Why don't you quickly wash and dress up the bride..."

Xiu'er stood in front of Lin Wanru and said, "Our young lady is not ready yet..."

The old woman looked at her and said dissatisfied: "Where did you get this wild girl from? Throw her out!"

Several maids dragged Xiu'er and dragged her out of the yard.

The old woman looked at Lin Wanru and said, "Oh, why are you not in a hurry at all? Although you don't have to pay a visit, it will take a long time to get dressed up. Then the time will be delayed. I will blame you, old lady." But I can’t afford the crime…”

Lin Yong rolled up his sleeves. Lin Wanru glanced at him. He looked at the old woman hatefully and strode out.

The old woman closed the door and immediately ordered the maids around her: "You guys, please move quickly. If I delay something important, I won't spare you!"

"Take out all those jewelry..."

"Wedding dress, bring out the wedding dress quickly!"

"Scissors, who does this? They don't even cut off the tags. If you wear them out, you'll laugh to death!"

"What, the scissors are gone, go, go, go find another one outside..."

…

Half an hour later, the old woman circled around the bed, with a smile on her face, and said: "Tsk, tsk..., after working in this industry for so long, this is the first time that the old woman has seen such a beautiful bride..."

She waved to the maid behind her and said, "Why don't you quickly cover the bride's head and take her to the new house..."

When things here were over, she breathed a sigh of relief, walked out of the yard, and met an old man walking towards her.

"good luck!"

"good luck!"

The two exchanged greetings, and the old woman looked at the old man in surprise and asked: "Old Wangtou, what's wrong with you? You're so listless. Is it because the young master didn't give you money to count your days?"

The two of them can be considered companions. One is responsible for the bride's etiquette and the other is responsible for calculating good times and auspicious days. They often cooperate with each other on weekdays.

Old Man Wang looked at him, just sighed and shook his head slightly.

The old woman suddenly seemed to have thought of something and asked, "You must have miscalculated the date, right?"

The old man's face immediately turned red and he said angrily: "Mr. Lin, please don't talk nonsense. My old Wangtou's signboard is so loud that it will miscalculate the date?"

"I didn't calculate the day wrong. Why are you looking so sad? You're just like your dead mother-in-law... sick!" The old woman glanced at him and left.

Seeing him walking away, the old man shook his head. As he walked away, he said bitterly: "It's unlucky, it's unlucky... I said it would be an auspicious day after three months. If you don't listen, if you don't listen, it will happen." Don't blame me..."

Outside the courtyard, somewhere in the shadows.

Lin Yong gritted his teeth and said, "I will save the lady no matter what!"

He turned to look at Xiu'er and whispered: "You wait here for a while, and I'll let them think of a way to send you out first..."

After that, he strode away.

Xiu'er stood there in shock for a long time. After a while, she finally couldn't help it, squatted down and cried loudly.

After an unknown amount of time, a familiar voice sounded in her ears.

"What's wrong? Did Lin Yong steal your candied haws again?"

Xiu'er raised her head, the tears in her eyes were reflected by the lights in the distance, shining brightly.

…

A servant from the governor's mansion helped the young man walk towards a courtyard, saying repeatedly: "Young master, please go slowly, slowly..."

"What do you mean by slow..." The young man, who was drunk, said: "If I go slowly, won't the bride be anxious waiting?"

"The bride can't run away..." the servant said, and hurriedly said: "Young master, please go slowly, be careful not to fall..."

When the two walked to the gate of the courtyard, they happened to meet several other people.

The servant was startled at first, then pointed to the back and said: "You are going in the wrong direction, the gate is over there."

He just thought these people were guests who had taken the wrong road, and after saying this, he helped the young man to go in.

Changde looked at Li Yi and said, "You go in first."

Changde's voice was shrill, and the young man didn't hear what the old man opposite said, but this voice made him very uncomfortable. He frowned and said, "Neither male nor female, why does my father invite all kinds of people to our house..."

Old Xu looked at the young man with pity, and suddenly felt a chill in his crotch, and couldn't help reaching out to touch it.

Changde took the young man from the servant's hand and said, "You go and do your work, I'll support him."

The servant subconsciously let go of his hand, and then reacted and asked, "Who are you..."

He fell down before he finished speaking.

Li Yi looked at Old Chang, nodded and walked into the yard.

The young man's miserable screams followed.

In the room, Lin Wanru sat on the edge of the bed with a veil on her head. This piece of red cloth seemed to isolate everything outside.

Just now, after the maids helped her dress up, she looked in the mirror. The person in the mirror was so beautiful.

People often say that the most beautiful moment of a woman's life is when she puts on her wedding dress, and this is indeed true.

It's a pity that the person she thought of didn't see her wearing her wedding dress.

She held a pair of scissors in her right hand.

For more than half a year, she has been learning kung fu with Ruyi. She is not a weak woman in the traditional sense. The governor is not her opponent.

Tonight is the last chance. Holding him hostage and forcing the governor of Shengzhou to send them out of the city is her only choice.

The door was opened from the outside, and her heart tightened.

There were footsteps coming from the door and coming to the bed.

A hand lifted her veil.

She stood up suddenly, raised one hand, and the scissors in her hand went straight to his neck.

Her wrist was held in mid-air, and the scissors were taken away by the other hand.

Her face was pale, and her heart sank quickly.

Li Yi looked at her and said in surprise: "On the wedding night, you are going to murder your husband!"
