As if to prove Fu Youqin's words, the Jiao family's welcoming team rushed to arrive half an hour late.

The guard of honor must have come all the way here, and they didn't even line up neatly. They ran crookedly to the door of Wen's house, and then reorganized their formation, beat the gongs and drums to welcome the bride.

Wen Shuyue had already finished her makeup, put on the wedding dress embroidered by herself, and sat on the wedding bed covered with red silk.She twisted her handkerchief nervously, with an expression of anxiety and shyness.

"People from the Jiao family have arrived." Dai Fu ran in with a happy face to deliver the message.

Wen Tian put the red hijab on her with his own hands, and asked endlessly, "Has Jiao Chang arrived yet?"

Dai Fu was stunned for a moment. The Jiao family's welcoming team was half an hour late, and the auspicious time would be missed if they didn't hurry up. .The leader of the team seems to be one of Jiao Changxian's elder brothers.

"I didn't see it, it's a mess outside."

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

He took Daifu to the front to see the situation.

Before stepping out of the door, Wen Tian heard the deafening sound of gongs and drums. Different from the noise outside, the servants in Wen's mansion all stopped their movements, as if they were watching something.

In the front hall, Jiao Changqing, Jiao Changxian's cousin, sat in the guest seat with an embarrassed expression, while Fu Youqin and Wen Boli sat in the main seat. The room was filled with an atmosphere of silence, which was at odds with the celebration outside.

"Father, mother, what happened?" Wen Tian's arrival broke the silence, he looked like he didn't know anything, and glanced at Jiao Changqing with a puzzled expression.

Jiao Changqing reluctantly twitched the corners of his mouth, looked at Fu Youqin who was obviously unhappy and explained: "It was indeed an accident that Chang Xian fell on his leg. When he was about to get on the horse, the horse was startled and threw him off the horse."

"Why did you fall at this time? Those who didn't know thought it was an excuse for the Jiao family's dissatisfaction with the marriage." Wen Tian glanced at the expressions of everyone, as if unintentionally joking.

Sure enough, Fu Youqin and Wen Boli's faces became even uglier when they heard the words.

The corners of Jiao Changqing's eyes twitched, and he clenched his hands tightly in his sleeves. He was actually holding his breath in his heart. Jiao Changxian was his cousin, and he used to suppress him everywhere, even getting married was ahead of him.It turned out that Jiao Chang offered it up, and he went to the brothel secretly to wander around the night before the wedding, and he didn't see anyone until the next day, when the people of Jiao's family found out that he was gone.

At first they thought it was some kind of accident, and sent out all the servants to look for it with great fanfare, but in the end they found him in the brothel.

According to the report from the servant who was looking for someone, Jiao Changxian had a night of mischief with four prostitutes. When they came to find him, Jiao Changxian was still lying on top of the prostitutes and refused to get up.

This is a lot of fun. The Jiao family made a big noise before, and this servant was found out from the brothel, and almost the whole town knew about it. The young man of the Jiao family had a night with four prostitutes the night before his wedding, and he even got married. None.

Leaving aside how bad the reputation accumulated in the past was, the Wen family alone couldn't handle it.

They forcibly brought him back, but Jiao Chang Xian was too crazy to play, he probably took a lot of drugs to enhance the fun, and when everyone didn't pay attention to him, he rolled with the maid who served the changing clothes again.Seeing that the auspicious time is approaching, Jiao Changxian is still messing around, but this marriage cannot be ruined, so he simply told a lie and asked Jiao Changqing to come to welcome him.

As long as you welcome people back, no matter what, it's your family's business.

Jiao Changqing wished that this marriage would not come true, but he couldn't disobey the words of his elders, so he could only lower his face and apologize, "Your brother, you have misunderstood. Changxian is infatuated with the young lady. He insisted on coming, but he broke his leg and couldn't bear it." It was bumpy, so grandma asked me to welcome the bride on her behalf..."

What he said was sincere, except for Wen Tian, ​​Wen's parents were a little shaken.

Wen Boli looked outside, and the sound of gongs and drums never stopped. He hesitated to discuss with his wife beside him, "Ms. Qin, the hour is almost here, do you think...?"

Fu Youqin sighed, even the groom wasn't there, so she didn't want to hand over her daughter just like that, but it was too unhuman to make a fuss over this. After all, it was an accident that Jiao Changxian broke his leg. After thinking for a while, she still compromised nod.

A smile appeared on Jiao Changqing's face, he stood up and cupped his hands in apology, "Thank you for your understanding."

There was already a lot of time wasted, Jiao Changqing hurried out to prepare after getting the affirmation, followed by Wen Boli and Fu Youqin.Wen Tian deliberately fell to the back, and stretched out his hand to tug on Fu Youqin's sleeve.

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

Wen Tian had prepared the belly draft before, and now with lowered eyes, he expressed his worries, "On the day of the wedding, the horse was startled and the leg was broken. How could such a coincidence happen? We should send someone to go first The Jiao family will take care of it."

Although Fu Youqin was displeased with Jiao Changxian's absence, she didn't expect to go to this level. She hesitated and said, "Changxian is a good boy, and he has always been considerate of your sister. Maybe this time there was an accident, and this time It also delayed the auspicious time..."

Wen Tian had already guessed that this would be the result.

Before Jiao Changxian's pretense was too good, after the two got engaged, he would visit every year and festival, and would bring small gifts to Wen Shuyue from time to time. If Wen Tian hadn't experienced what happened later, he wouldn't have believed it. It was Jiao Changxian's deliberate trick to deceive them, just for Wen Shuyue's dowry and the Wen family behind it.

So later Wen Boli abandoned his wife and took over the property of the Fu family, and set up the concubine's room. Jiao Changxian followed suit and hooked up with the concubine's niece.

"I asked Dai Fu to take a shortcut and go to Jiao's house to inquire about the news first, without wasting time," Wen Tian shook Fu Youqin's sleeves, "I'm just a little worried, and there will be nothing wrong with letting someone go to see it first, if nothing happens Now, in case the Jiao family is lying to us, turning back halfway is better than letting my sister marry and be wronged."

When Fu Youqin was told so, he actually felt that it made sense. Wen Shuyue was her only daughter. She was proficient in playing chess, calligraphy and painting since she was a child, and she had a docile personality. She was willing to let her only daughter marry and be bullied.

"Okay, let Dai Fu find out the news first." Fu Youqin patted his head, Wen Tian was actually taller than her, but because of his delicate and innocent temper, she couldn't help but protect him like a child, It wasn't until today that she realized that the child had suddenly matured a lot and finally looked like an adult.

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

The time was too long, Fu Youqin took two mouthfuls of food for Wen Shuyue, then wiped her mouth with a handkerchief, half-smiling and half-crying, "You can only go out when you are full."

Wen Shuyue held her hand tightly, and the mother and daughter looked at each other, their eyes blushing.

After eating the sedan chair meal, it was time to set off. Wen Tian put the raised hijab back on, and then squatted down, letting Wen Shuyue lay on his back.

Wen Shuyue was a head shorter than him, and it wasn't too difficult for Wen Tian to carry her on his back. He held her upside down and walked out step by step with her on his back.

In front of the gate of Wen's mansion, gongs, drums and firecrackers blared, Wen Huang stepped over the brazier with Wen Shuyue on his back, and then put her firmly in the sedan chair.

The sedan chair curtain fell, Wen Tian got on the horse, bid farewell to his parents, and followed the welcoming team to Lehe Town with gongs and drums.

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

Too much time was wasted at Wen's house, and Jiao Changqing had to rush to Jiao's house before the auspicious time. After making up his mind, he led everyone to take the shortcut of Xishantou.

Although banditry was rampant at Xishantou, there were few bandits who dared to worry about such a large team like theirs.

The welcoming team formed a long red dragon and walked slowly towards the top of the west hill.

******

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

A ten-year-old child nimbly turned over a small hill, and said to the big man hiding behind the hill.

The big man's name is Chang Xi, he is a bandit from Xishantou. He heard that the jerk young master of the Jiao family is going to get married. He even dared to borrow a way from his territory.

"Hey, this is not right, brothers are worrying that they will not find a chance to avenge your little sister Qiao." Chang Xi jumped up from the grass, spat out the grass roots in his mouth, threw the child on his back, and stepped forward. He quickly ran towards the top of the west mountain, "Let's go back and ask someone to guard them. Today, grandpa insists on teaching the Jiao family boy a lesson, and the women in the west mountain village are also bullying them!"

Xishantou is on the west side of Sifang Town. It is a small mountain range extending from Qitian Ridge. Because the terrain next to Qitian Ridge is easy to defend and difficult to attack, it has become the stronghold of Xishanzhai.

Xishanzhai has been established for some years, and there are a lot of old and weak women and children in the gang. The main business of the men is still farming, and they only go out during the slack season to frighten the rich people who pass by, and do some small business to earn extra money.Later, after the boss and the military adviser came, Xishantou gradually became bigger and became a well-known bandit in Sifang Town, so that few people dared to take the shortcut of Xishantou.

If the Jiao family hadn't relied on their numbers, they wouldn't have dared to take this path.

Chang Xi was familiar with the terrain, so he rushed back early with a child on his back, then gathered a few brothers who could fight, and went to ambush on both sides of the mountain road.

Wen Tian was riding beside the sedan chair, whispering to Wen Shuyue while looking back anxiously.

Daifu set off earlier than them, and he walked faster by water during the day. After a while, he should come back with news.

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

The child nodded, "Sister Xiaoqiao said that Jiao Changxian is very good-looking, and he is the most beautiful among them, so he must be him."

Chang Xi squinted his eyes and looked around for a while. He was dressed in red and was good-looking. Wen Tian was the only one, and he was talking with the sedan chair all the way, so he must be the bridegroom.

He pointed his finger at the opposite brother, pointing in the direction of Wen Tian, ​​meaning to catch this later.

The other side replied with a clear gesture, and waited patiently in ambush in the grass.

The long queue walked forward slowly, Wen Tian looked back frequently, and when he turned his head for the [-]st time, he finally saw Dai Fu riding forward on horseback at the end of the queue.

The corner of his mouth raised, Wen Tian looked at the Jiao family in front of him, and calmly called Dai Fu to his side.

"What did you find out?" Wen Tian deliberately slowed down, letting the sedan chair go first, lest Wen Shuyue hear it.

After Daifu heard the news, fearing that he would not be in time, he ran all the way to catch up, without breathing well, so he lowered his voice and told the news he had inquired about.

The result was similar to Wen Tian's expectation. Jiao Changxian's scandal was spread all over Lehe Town, and Dai Fu found out after a little inquiring.

"The Jiao family bullies people too much!" Wen Tian raised his hand with an angry face and stopped the advancing team.

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

Wen Tian's anger was not concealed, he raised his head, pointed at Jiao Changqing's nose unceremoniously, "Your Jiao family is really deceiving people!"

Jiao Changqing's heart was shocked, and he was also secretly happy. Could it be that they already knew about Jiao Changxian's shit...

"Brother, you are..."

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

The faces of the Jiao family members who came over suddenly changed. Jiao Changqing was secretly happy in his heart, but explained on his face, "Everything is a misunderstanding, and we can wait until we have something to say."

Wen Tian sneered, seeing the shameless behavior of the Jiao family, he just felt that all the old and new hatreds came up at the same time, without mercy, "Fortunately, the Jiao family claims to be a scholarly family, and I think even a beggar on the roadside is better It's disgusting if Jiao Chang's offering is so dirty, it doesn't matter if we don't get married!"

"Daifu, take the lady back!"

Dai Fu responded loudly, and directed the bearer to carry the sedan chair back, and the crowd had no choice but to separate out of the way due to the unknown situation behind.

The Jiao family wanted to stop them, but they were whipped back by Wen Huang. The two people in front let out an ouch, lying on the horse covering their wounds and screaming in pain. Jiao Changqing wanted to step forward, but when he saw his ferocious expression, he backed away with some fear.

Wen Tian sneered, "The Wen family is never done with this matter!"

******

"What's going on with them?" The bandits who were ambushing in the grass were puzzled. They were far away and couldn't hear what they were saying, so they knew that the bridegroom officer suddenly refused to let him go, and then drove the sedan chair back.

"Is this a divorce?"

Chang Xi spat into the grass, "A good-looking thing is not a good thing, after the trouble is over for Xiao Qiao, I will trouble another girl!"

Seeing that the people below were divided into two groups, and there were only a few people left in the middle, it was a good opportunity to kidnap people.

Chang Xi stood up and waved his hands, "Brothers, go!"

Four or five thick bandits rushed towards Wen Tian at the bottom of the mountain like the wind. Chang Xi moved quickly and with great strength. run.

Jiao Changqing said in surprise, "What are you going to do—"

He didn't finish his sentence, and the men who rushed down from behind didn't care about 21, caught him and beat him up, then left a message and rushed up the mountain like the wind.

"Let the Jiao family bring money to redeem him!"

Jiao Changqing who was beaten in a daze: "???" Why did the Wen family want the Jiao family to redeem him?

The kidnapping process of the bandits was smooth and flowing, coming and going like the wind, and by the time the stunned people reacted, they had long since disappeared.

Dai Fu looked at the direction where Wen Tian disappeared, then at Wen Shuyue who poked his head out in panic, gritted his teeth and said loudly, "Go back to Wenfu first!"

******

Chang Xi took the lead and went back to the stockade as if carrying the crowd, threw the unconscious Wen Tian on the ground, wandered around twice, found a hemp rope, and tied Wen Tian firmly to the pillar .

The brothers who came up behind walked around the pillar and sighed, "It really is a little boy, no wonder even Xiao Qiao can be fooled."

Chang Xi kicked the person who spoke, "Go, go, call Xiao Qiao over quickly, the brothers have tied her up here, if you want to kill or cut, you can do whatever you want."

It didn't take long for Xiao Qiao to come over. She was wearing a coarse cloth skirt and her hair was coiled with a smooth branch.

When Chang Xi saw her, she immediately smiled foolishly, "Look, Xiao Qiao, I tied Jiao Changxian to vent my anger on you."

Xiao Qiao was inexplicably dragged over in the middle of washing her clothes. When he heard Jiao Changxian mentioned, she became angry and punched him viciously, "I'll pull your ears if you mention this person again come down."

After beating someone, she changed back to a delicate look, looked at Wen Tian on the pillar and asked, "Who is this?"

Poor Chang Xi, who was over eight feet tall, was so hammered that he didn't dare to make a sound, he curled his neck aggrieved and forced him in a low voice, "Isn't this... who is it?" He wanted to say Jiao Changxian at first, but then remembered After being hammered, he immediately shut his mouth.

"Who is that?" Xiao Qiao raised her eyebrows high.

Chang Xi shrank her neck pitifully, "That's it, it's burnt or something. Didn't you let me mention his name?"

Xiao Qiao reacted silently for a while, pointed at the unconscious Wen Tian and said in shock: "You mean him, Jiao Changxian?"

"Ah." Chang Xi nodded honestly, looking at Xiao Qiao expectantly, like a big wolf dog waiting to be praised.

However, what was waiting for him was not praise and fleshy bones, but another violent beating from Xiao Qiao. Although it didn't hurt, he was very wronged, "Why did you hit me again?"

Xiao Qiao smiled coldly and gouged him out, "You idiot, this is not Jiao Changxian!"

"Ah?" Chang Xi was stunned for a moment, then pointed at Wen Huang in a daze, "Then who is he?"

Xiao Qiao folded her arms, "The person you arrested asked me who I am?"

Chang Xi looked at Wen Tian, ​​and then at the others, "Then we arrested the wrong person? What should we do now?"

No one answered, everyone looked at the sky and looked at the ground.

Chang Xi wrinkled his face bitterly, "We still asked the Jiao family to redeem people with money."

Xiao Qiao rolled her eyes to the sky, turned around and prepared to go back to wash clothes, "Boss will be back soon, you can ask him what to do."

Chang Xi: "..."

He murmured in a low voice, "Aren't you just looking for a fight when you ask the boss!"

However, everyone was obviously afraid of being beaten by the boss. As soon as Xiao Qiao left, he followed the birds and beasts, leaving Chang Xi alone to worry about Wen Tian.

"Or, just let me go down the mountain secretly." Wen Tian opened his eyes and tried to give him a little suggestion.

He woke up when he was tied up. Chang Xi carried him like he was carrying a sack. His whole body hurt from being bumped, and when he was strangled by the rough rope, he woke up in pain. It was just that he didn't know the situation clearly. Always pretended to be unconscious.

Chang Xi was startled by his sudden sound and jumped back, staring at him like a ghost, "When did you wake up?"

Wen Tian: "Just now."

Chang Xi breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a ferocious face, "I won't let him go until I get the ransom."

Wen Huang exposed him, "But you arrested the wrong person, the Jiao family won't take money to ransom me, they are poor."

Chang Xi was like a frightened bear, his eyes stared like copper bells, "Didn't you just wake up?"

"Well, I heard this sentence just after waking up." Wen Tian had listened for a long time just now, and knew that this was the most careless person, so he wanted to coax him to let him go, "I also have a grudge against Jiao Changxian, if you let go I'm gone, I'll go home and deal with him, and I can also vent my anger to Miss Xiao Qiao."
