Chapter 1712 A Shabby Wedding
The sun is shining brightly and the spring breeze is blowing.
A villa on the outskirts of the city covers an area of ten acres. Even in the daytime, red lanterns surround the front and back of the courtyard. There are many guests coming and going, and the atmosphere is very lively.
A beautiful woman in gorgeous clothes on a tall building in the backyard stared at the commotion in the distance, took out a barrier bead and held it in her palm. She coldly snorted, "Look, what cats and dogs are coming, even the second-level star officials." , is not satisfied with both palms, and has no third-level star officials. Yingying marrying him is simply..."
"Now that things have come to this, he is a good person after all."
The middle-aged man next to the beautiful woman in fine clothes had a gentle temperament and complained softly.
The beautiful woman's brows became more and more resentful, "Not bad? If you ask all over Huaixi, who doesn't know what kind of virtue your uncle is..."
The middle-aged man interrupted, "Yingying also said that the embroidery was caused by a trick, not his nature. Besides, I have seen this kid before. He is polite and thoughtful, but his temper is a bit dull. The most important thing is, He is really kind to Yingying, and Yingying also likes him, that's enough."
The beautiful woman's frown did not lessen, and she sighed, "Guardian, you don't need to comfort me. Although I am dissatisfied with Gong Xiuhua, I also know that marrying him is better than marrying someone else. The eldest brother-in-law is so greedy. , your Qu family will be ruined in his hands sooner or later."
The middle-aged man sighed deeply and stopped talking. Suddenly, he saw a pretty girl with a phoenix crown and a beautiful robe in the courtyard, waving in this direction.
The middle-aged man nodded with a smile, "Let's go, madam, your precious daughter has invited us to accompany the guests. No matter what, her daughter is now a member of the Gong family, and we have to make her face."
The beautiful woman in gorgeous clothes took away the boundary barrier bead and muttered, "You go ahead. You, the second-class Viscount, are more than enough for such a small scene. What am I going to do? I go back to my room to rest."
The middle-aged man said, "Okay, I'll go first. I'll pass on what Madam said to Xiaoying intact, and wait until she comes to invite you."
The beautiful woman in gorgeous clothes raised her beautiful eyes, pinched the middle-aged man's arm, and went downstairs together.
The pretty girl greeted the two of them and said cheerfully, "Lao Qu, Lao Yao, hurry up, hurry up, our leader has come from thousands of miles away to attend my wedding. He is a rare hero."
The girl had a fiery temper. She jumped forward and dragged the two of them towards the flower hall to the west.
There was only one table in the entire West Flower Hall. Except for a man in a green robe and a handsome man in a bright red auspicious suit, all the people sitting there were officials. Everyone had Cui Can, the star on their chests, and they were all second-level star officials.
Seeing the pretty girl attracted middle-aged men and beautiful women in gorgeous clothes, and everyone stood up to greet her.
The pretty girl introduced everyone in turn. They were all powerful officials from the major yamen in Huaixi Prefecture, and their family backgrounds were all prominent. Before finally introducing the man in green robe, the pretty girl said to the beautiful woman in gorgeous clothes who never smiled, " Old Yao, if you continue to be so sullen, I won't obey you. This is our leader, a real hero. Don't look at the table that is almost full. In fact, with my embroidery connections, I can only come half of the time and leave the rest. It's all for the sake of our leader, don't let others laugh at your daughter for being rude."
While conveying his thoughts, he introduced Qingpao Ke Dao, "Father, mother, this is our leader, the big name Xu Yi, a famous figure in Huaixi. His heroic deeds are spread all over Huaixi, and now he is on the road. Ting performs his duties and is my best friend with Xiu Hua."
The visitor was none other than Xu Yi. He was really surprised when he heard that Gong Xiuhua and Qu Ying were getting married.
Speaking of which, his relationship with Gong Xiuhua was extremely complicated. He first entered this world, and not long after, he formed a rivalry with Gong Xiuhua and was hunted by him.
Later, he concealed his identity and mingled in the official circles of Huaixi Prefecture. He also joined the Enke team on Jiannan Road with Gong Xiuhua, Qiu Daoming and others. He served as the team leader and led Gong Xiuhua and others to achieve good results, and all received Got an official status.
Later, Gong Xiuhua discovered that Xu Yi was his big enemy. But at that time, he was a man with a daughter's heart, and had a different feeling for Xu Yi. After a life and death entanglement, Xu Yi discovered the evil spirit in him. Help him remove the poisonous insects.
As a result, another fight broke out within the Gong family. With Xu Yi's intervention, Gong Xiuhua won a great victory and escaped unscathed.
Not long after, Xu Yi went to Jiannan Road. Two years ago, he returned to Huaixi. Palace Embroidery Painting, Qiu Daoming and others made a special trip to come there and it was lively all day and night.
Later, everyone was busy with their own futures, and the contact became less frequent.
This time, it was Qu Ying who informed Xu Yi about the marriage. When he heard that she and Gong Xiuhua were getting married, Xu Yi was stunned for a long time. After thinking for a moment, he agreed to come to the appointment.
After Qiu Daoming and the others explained it, Xu Yi realized that it was Qu Ying who was chasing Gong Xiuhua. He had no choice but to give in and achieve good things.
In addition, Xu Yi also knew that the marriage was held in a hurry because the Qu family seemed to be betrothing Qu Ying to the eldest son of a top family.
Qu Ying's parents felt sorry for their daughter, so they took her to the small town in Gongxiuhua's hometown to hold a wedding.
Those who arrived this time are all friends from Gong Xiuhua.
The Gong family had been involved in internal strife and the family's power had been completely depleted. The people who came this time were all the friends Gong Xiuhua had made in the official circles. Most of them valued the status of Gong Xiuhua's star officials and came to congratulate and join in the fun. None are high.
Except for the friends who had attended Enke's wedding together, there really weren't any significant heavyweight congratulators at this wedding. This was also the source of Qu's mother's dissatisfaction.
The Qu family is also a large family in Huaixi. The eldest uncle of Qu Ying, the head of the Qu family, also holds the title of earl. The rest of Qu's father's brothers also have titles or public offices. It is really a high-level and prestigious family.
Therefore, even though she was taking refuge, Qu's mother was extremely dissatisfied with the small scene in front of her and felt that she had wronged her precious daughter.
However, after Qu Ying introduced Xu Yi's identity, Qu's father said that he had "admired him for a long time". He had indeed heard of Xu Yi's name and knew that there had been a ruthless character in the Chief Ji Division. He seemed to be quite successful in martial arts, but that was the limit. .
The evaluation he gave Xu Yi secretly was that he was an outstanding young man, and he didn't think he was that great. Nowadays, it is a period of great changes, and many of the restrictions of the Holy Court have been liberalized, especially for these aristocratic families, those who are near the water and the towers are the first to get the moon. The previously unattainable power of Yang Zun is no longer so great.
Take the Qu family as an example. Last month, three people were successfully promoted to Yang Zun.
Even he himself knew that if nothing unexpected happened, it would not be long before he could become Yang Zun.
The person in front of me may have been amazing in the past, but due to his family background, he may never be able to touch the threshold of Yang Zun in his lifetime. Even though he thought so in his heart, Qu's father was still very polite to Xu Yi. He didn't care about his daughter's face, but only because Xu Yi could come to these star officials to make his daughter's wedding less shabby. He was extremely grateful.
