Chapter 45 - Marriage
Everyone was waiting for my decision, and I fell into a mental struggle. "Yes! I am not a single person now, but the Supreme Commander of the three counties, I am no longer the Young Master of the Jiao Prefecture Merchant Jia Fan Mansion from before! I am shouldering the people of three counties! I can't let the scene where I was ambushed by enemies on the way to Ankang reappear! He could no longer let his fault cause many of his brothers to die! Sigh! Perhaps this was fate! If you are willing, then follow fate. If you are unwilling, then you can only be dragged along by fate! "
I looked around at the eyes that were staring at me, and I couldn't help but sigh, shake my head, shed tears, and struggle out of my mouth with the words of disobedience: "All right! Send someone to inform Jiang Ren that he will marry Jiang Yan on the auspicious day! " Sigh! I have to resign myself to my fate! Chen Zhi was extremely pleased when he heard it, "My lord, you are truly brilliant!" However, Li Gang and Huo Jun looked at Chen Zhi secretly and did not say a word.
After Jiang Ren found out about this, he said, "I never thought about it! Fan Li has actually become my son-in-law, my drunken joke from before has actually come true! Sigh! I had originally thought that he would be murdered together with Chen Zhi, but he unexpectedly thought of marrying my daughter, causing Chen Zhi to give up on the thought of killing him. Sigh! Fan Li was even stronger than his father! Sigh! Yet another strong opponent! "
Jiang Hui asked: "Father, Fan Li has already become your son-in-law, do we still want to go against him?" Jiang Ren said: "It depends! If he respects us soldiers and protects our interests, then what does it matter if he becomes the leader? If he still wants to eliminate us, then don't blame me for not caring about some son-in-law! It might not be a bad thing to ask your sister to spy on me! "Haha!"
Jiang Jing sighed, and said: "But I saw that my sister seemed to have fallen for Fan Li from the bottom of her heart. Sigh! I'm really worried! " Jiang Ren said: "Husbands can be numerous, but there's only one father and mother, and brothers only have you two. I think she'll know that! You have to tell Yan'er that there can be countless husbands and only a few family members! Tell her, after marrying, she must properly persuade Fan Li to continue protecting our clan's rule. Otherwise, I won't know what will happen to Fan Li! " Jiang Hui, Jiang Jing: "Yes! "Father!"
Jiang Ren said, "Sigh! He had to be wary of Fan Li! Who told him to try and harm me while he's in the middle of a discussion. That bastard Yu Du is so despicable! This Yu Du must be eliminated! " Jiang Hui and Jiang Jing looked straight at Jiang Ren when they heard him.
The wedding was still going on, and it was inevitable that I would marry someone I didn't love. This day was like a nightmare for me. I was in hell and my heart was in pain and agony …
An extremely beautiful young girl walked straight to the front of the Fan Mansion and stopped not far from there. She saw that the entrance was decorated with lanterns and decorations, and two large words "Happy" were written on both sides of the entrance. The young girl could not help but feel very strange. She was stunned and her expression turned ugly. The young lady that came was Xiao Ying.
Several people dressed in red stood at the entrance of Fan Mansion to receive the guests who had come to congratulate them. A large group of people were gathered in front of the door. A servant of the Fan Mansion was giving out cakes and other such things in order to do a good deed.
Xiao Ying finally understood that the Fan Mansion was hosting a joyous event. Xiao Ying's mouth kept repeating: "Married? Who is going to get married in Fan Mansion? " Just then, an old man who wanted to go to Fan Mansion to congratulate the two passed by Xiao Ying. Xiao Ying stopped the old man and asked: "Hello, old sir! May I ask, which noble has a good time? " The old man looked at Xiao Ying carefully and said: "I presume this lady is an outsider! Otherwise, why did she not even know that Lord Fan was getting married! The entire Yu Lin, Cangwu, and He Pu three countries all knew about it! And I can tell that Miss doesn't look like one of us from Jiao Prefecture. Although most of our native Chinese come here from outside, your accent and appearance really don't look like one! "
Xiao Ying asked curiously, "Lord Fan? Which Lord Fan! " Xiao Ying's heart skipped a beat, because she didn't want the old man to say that the Lord Fan he was going to marry was Fan Li. The old man replied: "He is taiwai, the hero of our Ankang's county, Master Fan Li! The bride was the daughter of the leading figure in the business circles of the Jiao Prefecture, Jiang Ren. She was truly a beauty compatible with heroes! A perfect match, what a perfect match! Oh! That's right, does Miss have an old relationship with the Lord Fan? If that's the case, you can also ask the Lord Fan for a goblet of wedding wine! " Hearing that, Xiao Ying took a few steps back, and almost fell to the ground, muttering to herself: "He, he, he's married? How, how could this be possible! This is impossible! " Xiao Ying kept shaking her head, looking like she was a fool.
Seeing this, the old man thought to himself: "Could this young lady be suffering from a stroke? "How did it become like this just a moment ago?" Because of this, the old man looked at Xiao Ying and asked worriedly, "Miss, are you alright? What's the matter with you? Do you want this old man to call a doctor over for you? " Xiao Ying did not hear what the old man said, the old man asked again: "Young miss, are you alright?" Xiao Ying was still in a daze, the old man was immediately anxious like an ant on a hot pan, he asked repeatedly: "Young miss, are you really alright?" Only then did Xiao Ying come back to her senses, and she forced out a smile with great difficulty: "No …. It's nothing! I just feel dizzy. Old sir, can you do me a favor? " The old man said, "Miss, please speak! If there's anything this old one can help with, this old one will definitely do his best! "
Xiao Ying bowed and said: "Thank you, old sir! Could I trouble you to tell me that an old friend called Xiao Ying wishes him and Miss Jiang a good relationship! Happiness! and told him not to look for me anymore! " The old man looked at Xiao Ying worriedly and agreed, "Alright! I will definitely transfer your words to you! " After Xiao Ying heard the old man promise to help him, she staggered away without even turning her head around … The old man was still looking worriedly at Xiao Ying, when she unconsciously let out a deep breath and said, "Love! "Sigh!" It was as if this experienced person could already see why Xiao Ying was so sad.
After Jiang Yan and I used our "welcome" ceremony, we didn't have to deal with the bridal room anymore. Because I was holding a jar of wine in the open and very sadly, drinking it. Only wine was my best friend now, and it was also the thing I relied on the most!
Zhang Tie walked to my side and said: "Fourth brother, don't drink anymore! Today is your wedding day! "Fourth brother!" I was simply unable to listen to Zhang Tie's advice. I raised the jar of wine and gulped it down as usual. Zhang Tie wanted to snatch the wine jar from my hands, but I held onto the jar tightly, I won't let go even if I die! Let go of this wine jar, I will feel worse than death! Zhang Tie said loudly, "Fourth brother, all the guests are looking at you! Fourth brother! You can't do this! Don't drink anymore! "
Seeing that, Big Bro also came over and helped Zhang Tie to snatch my jar of wine, Li Xiong advised: "Fourth brother, if you drink too much, it will harm your body! He wanted to use the wine to dispel his worries, but his worries only increased! "Fourth brother!" I shook my head sadly.
Fei Fei, whose eyes were red and swollen, was watching everything from a short distance away. From the look in her eyes, he could tell that she was going to say something like this: "Li, you obviously don't like Jiang Yan, but why did you marry her!? Aren't you harming yourself? Why!? "Boom …"
Chen Zhi looked at Fei Fei who was beside Fei Fei and thought: "Fei Fei, could it be that you're still thinking about Fourth Brother? From today onwards, Fourth Brother will be the husband of someone else! Why didn't you figure it out? Don't tell me your eyes are red and swollen because of your fourth brother!? Why can't you accept my sincerity? I'm the only one who truly loves you the most! "Fei Fei..."
Taking advantage of when Li Xiong and his group weren't paying attention, I grabbed the wine jar and gulped down the alcohol. The alcohol splashed all over my body and I became like a man made of alcohol. Li Xiong and Zhang Tie anxiously reached out their hands to stop me from continuing to drink, but I used my body to do my best to stubbornly resist and continue drinking my wine! A single drunkenness was enough to ease a thousand worries! He would be able to forget all the pain when he was drunk! Yes! Heh! Heh!
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" I screamed and spat out a huge mouthful of blood! Seeing that, Li Xiong cried out: "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! Not good! Fourth Brother drank too much! Alcohol was bad for the brain! Fast! Get a needle! Stabbing Fourth Brother! "Otherwise, your life will be in danger!" Someone heard him and ran to get the needle.
Li Xiong and Zhang Tie helped the drunk me straighten up, I was not allowed to lie down because once I laid down, drinking alcohol into my brain, my life would be in danger at any time! The current me was like a pile of mud. As long as Li Xiong and Zhang Tie let go of me, I would be paralyzed on the ground and would never be able to get up again. Li Xiong and Zhang Tie looked at the unconscious me in pain. They looked at each other and shook their heads, their eyes filled with helplessness. When the needles were brought over, Li Xiong stabbed me in the butt fiercely. This way, it could stimulate my brain and prevent alcohol from rushing into my brain, making my life be in danger.
Li Xiong gave Zhang Tie a meaningful glance, and Li Xiong and Zhang Tie helped me enter the bridal chamber. As for the bride, Jiang Yan, she was still sitting on the new bed with a red veil over her head. Li Xiong and Zhang Tie supported the drunk me to the new bed, and then placed me on the new bed.
Li Xiong smiled and said, "Younger Sister-in-law, Fourth Brother was overjoyed and drank too much. I'm so sorry! We really shouldn't have done it! He drank so much of Fourth Brother's wine. I'm sorry! Don't be mad at Fourth Brother! If you want to be angry with us, then be angry with us! Isn't it? "Third brother!" The big brother spoke while nudging Zhang Tie with his elbow secretly and continuously winked at him. Zhang Tie smiled and said, "That's right! Really! Sister-in-law, don't be angry at Fourth Brother! "
Jiang Yan, whose red hair was covered by a veil, lightly opened her red lips and replied: "I understand, Big Brother. It's normal for you guys to drink a little when you're happy. I understand that! " Li Xiong winked at Zhang Tie and said: "Then Third Brother and I will leave now!" Zhang Tie agreed: "That's right! "We're leaving!" Jiang Yan said in a gentle voice, "Then brother and third brother will leave slowly!" So Li Xiong and Zhang Tie left, but from their faces it could be seen that their faces were filled with worry.
Jiang Yan lifted her red hair halfway, and looked at me who was unconscious resentfully. She muttered to herself, "How can I get so drunk on such a wedding day? Sigh! Raise … Could it be that it's not worth it for me to give up so much for you? Li, you don't love me at all. Am I really a superfluous person in your eyes? In that case, why did you promise to marry me ten years ago? "Li, can you answer me?"
Seeing that I was drunk, and that there was still a trace of blood on the corner of my mouth, Jiang Yan was shocked. She started to feel uneasy, as if she had realized that I did not have any intention of marrying her. I don't have her in my heart! When she thought of this, tears gushed down her cheeks like two long waterfalls …
The next day, when I woke up, Jiang Yan was sitting in front of the bed, combing his hair in the bronze mirror. Jiang Yan saw that I had stood up from the mirror, so she said, "Husband, you're awake!" "Oh!" I answered her. I stood up and said, "Jiang Yan, due to the urgent military situation these few days, I have to stay in the military camp, so I won't be coming back! You have to take care of yourself! "
Hearing that, Jiang Yan immediately turned around to look at me, I saw Yan Yan's face and couldn't help but be stunned. The tears on Yan's face had not dried yet, and her eyes were swollen. Obviously, she cried for the whole night last! Thus, I asked her out of concern, "Jiang Yan, you, what happened to you?" Yan turned around, bowed her head, and said: "No! I, I'm fine! " However, she felt sad for Jiang Yan when she heard me call her directly, because she is already my wife. I should call her close or directly call her my wife, but I called her by her full name! Just like before, nothing had changed! How could she not be sad?
I sat on the bed in silence, not knowing what to do. After a long while, Yan said, "Alright! Darling, if you have anything to say, go to the military camp! However, no matter what, you have to take care of your body! Don't drink anymore! It's very injurious to the body! " I looked at Yan with gratitude. Yan raised her head and smiled sweetly at me, saying, "You are a great hero, go and busy yourself! Please don't worry about me! " I smiled shyly at Yan, then turned and walked out of the room. After I walked far away, Yan Yan couldn't help but heavily sigh.
When I reached the door, I coincidentally bumped into Grandpa Liu Han. Grandfather Liu Jian saw me and said, "Young Master Fan, there was an old man yesterday who had a request from a woman called Xiao Ying to pass some words to you! And that Xiao Ying said that she's your friend. "
I was very happy to hear it. "Xiao Ying! Xiao Ying came? This is great! What did she say? " Liu Jian replied, "That old man said, what Miss Xiao Ying wanted to pass on to you is, 'Bless you, young master', that you and Madam may be on good terms and be happy. Miss Xiao Ying also told young master not to look for her anymore, she wanted you to forget about her! "
I could hardly believe my ears. "What?" I asked anxiously. Xiao Ying would never say it like that, it couldn't be true! Is she still there? I'm going to find her! " Liu Jian said: "That old man said he did not miss a single word of Miss Xiao Ying, and what I said was the same as what the old man said! Young Master Fan, I think she probably already left Ankang County yesterday. She might even be leaving Yu Lin County soon. "Young Master..."
Xiao Ying came to Ankang to look for me, but she didn't even see me, so she quickly took her leave! She can't be married because of me, can she? Will she never forgive me?
I yelled up at the sky like a madman, "No! It couldn't be true! This was definitely not real! Xiao Ying! " The depression and depression in my heart accumulated, unable to vent, pressing down on my chest, I was angry! He spat out a large mouthful of blood. I felt dizzy, my head grew heavier, and my whole body fell down. Seeing that, Liu Jian immediately shot forward like a meteor to support me …
