"It's so inconsistent... My daughter of the Feng family has ever been so humiliated! It's fine if he doesn't have a family background. Now the time for taking the bride is almost over, and others are still delayed in the palace and can't get out. No more marriage! We Yan'er won't marry!"

In Feng Yan's yard, Li was trembling with anger, and Feng's father's face was not very good-looking.

"Didn't my aunt say it just now? No one expected that the ministers would kneel to the palace gate last night." Feng's father moved his throat and still defended in a low voice, "Even if he came late, it's understandable. After all, he can't resist the orders of the Tian family..."

"Then you delay the wedding date. Isn't it auspicious time tomorrow? This is Yan'er's first marriage. She doesn't invite guests or have to hold a table. Even if it's a temporary rescheduling, what's the point? How many people can know? Wei Xingzhen sent a few servants to take them to his house? He thought he was, and did he still have us elders in his eyes!"

Feng Xiaoqi held Li's arm helplessly, "Mom...why don't you go into the house first. If anything happens, let's sit down and say that my sister is still upstairs--"

"mother."

Feng Yan was already standing at the door of the house at some point.

The sky is getting whiter, and Feng Yan dressed in the morning light is so beautiful.

When Li saw her daughter, she felt extremely sad and immediately stepped forward and held her daughter's hand. She was excited for a moment and said some angry words incoherently. Feng's father interrupted and explained a sentence or two from time to time.

After listening for a long time, Feng Yan finally understood that the people who received the bride from the Wei Mansion had already arrived outside the Feng Mansion's door, but because of the fact that Xue Taiwei and Wu Sikong led the ministers to kneel to the palace gate last night, Wei Xingzhen was delayed in the palace, but I am afraid that he would not be able to get through it for a while now.

"Mom has been in this world for more than ten years than you, and I have seen too much of this kind of thing." Li said with red eyes, "These men who came from poor families and had noble wives have always been like this. Before you get married, he will neglect you so much. If you really marry into the Wei Mansion, you may spread all the cowards you have suffered over the years on you in the future."

Li was very distressed, "You are so soft-tempered... What will you do then?"

Feng's father glanced at his wife, "...Don't take anyone to demolish his Wei Mansion, he will burn high incense."

Li glared at her husband, "What are you talking about!"

"But I don't understand very much," Feng Yan raised her hand gently and interrupted the quarrel between her parents. "How could the emperor delay Lord Wei's itinerary when he goes to the film test station today?"

"This is how it's happening-"

"Wait a minute," Feng Xiaoqi raised his hand and looked at his sister and father, "What is... a film measuring station?"

"The shadow measurement platform is a huge stone platform, which is on the top of the main peak of Daizong Mountain in the east of the city." Feng Yan said softly, "There is an eight-foot-high pole in the center of the stone platform. Every year at the noon of the summer solstice and the winter solstice, the adults in Sitiantai will go there to measure the sun shadow. The sun shadow is the shortest during the summer solstice, one foot, four or five inches, and the sun shadow is the longest during the winter solstice, one foot, two or three feet."

"Oh..." Feng Xiaoqi nodded, "What's the use of testing this...?"

Feng's father whispered his beard, "It's of great use. A year ago, the emperor ordered the capital of our Great Zhou from Chang'an to Luoyang because he accepted Wei Xingzhen's letter - 'The next year, the capital of Luo will be invisible, and it is the place where the world is at its peak. The emperor should guard the central government and stay in the prime of the country'."

Feng Xiaoqi was puzzled, "...but didn't my sister just say that in the past, the shortest sun shadow in Luoyang was one foot four five? Why could that Lord Wei assert that there would be no sun shadow at noon this summer solstice?"

"How could I know about this? I have never done Sitiantai's errands," Feng's father spread his hands. "Anyway, it's summer solstice. I'll know after noon."

Feng Xiaoqi thought, "That's such a big thing... Why haven't I ever heard from gentlemen when I was in the Imperial Academy?"

"Si Tiantai divination should be secretly known. The emperor had an order at the beginning of the throne that 'the officials of the supervisor shall not communicate with the officials of the court, and the censor shall be appointed to inspect and inspect.' So I have heard about these things in my spare time, and the masters of the Imperial Academy will not talk about them..."

When Feng's father said this, he suddenly remembered something and looked at Feng Xiaoqi, "You go to school later, don't tell these words to your classmates. If you are reported and say that our family will chew the tongue of Sitiantai, you will still have to cause some trouble."

"No, I'm very strict!" Feng Xiaoqi gave a thumbs up on the spot, "No one said anything!"

"What are you afraid of?" Li glanced at her husband, "Our family is different."

Feng's father looked at Feng Yan again, "Originally, the emperor wanted to go to Daizong Mountain alone to worship the sky and ancestors with the highest specifications, but last night, Xue Taiwei and Wu Sikong went to the palace gate to ask the emperor to lower the specifications of this sacrifice and not to believe the so-called "Luodu Yingying" slander - after all, there has never been a "shadowless" incident in Luoyang's shadow measuring platform for a hundred years. If you rashly hold a sacrifice in the name of "the world is the center", it may disobey the laws of heaven and bring disaster.

"Now, Wei Xingzhen has been delayed in the palace, probably because of confronting the court officials." Feng's father whispered.

"So that's it," Feng Yan lowered her eyes, "If there is still sun shadow at noon today, will Lord Wei..."

"It's hard to say." Feng's father glanced at his wife and coughed lightly, "But even if something happened, it's nothing. Wei Xingzhen was born in a poor family. No matter how angry the emperor was, he wouldn't be able to implicate us because of him. If he really made a mistake, he might just cut off his official position and let him marry into his wife."

Li: “…Ph.”

"What do you think of aunt?" Feng Yan asked again.

"What your aunt meant was to go to Wei Mansion according to the time. But my mother and I discussed it. In the end, you still have to get it yourself," Feng's father looked at his daughter, "What did Yan'er think?"

Li's eyes also looked at Feng Yan. She held her daughter's hand and said bitterly, "Yan'er, mom can tell that you are somewhat satisfied with this person. But even so, we can extend the wedding date to tomorrow. We can't follow the meaning of Wei Xingzhen.

"Wei Xingzhen looks like a fierce horse, and it is not easy to tame it - it's better to take advantage of this moment to destroy his majesty first."

Feng Yan seemed to be a little dazed when she listened to her parents' words. She looked at the sky and morning glow that were gradually brightening outside the door, got up and walked slowly to the door.

"Yan'er," Feng's father called out again, "Tell me, what do you think, it's not easy to delay it."

Feng Yan turned her head slightly.

"It is not common to welcome brides around the Yin hour, but Lord Wei still chose this time..." Feng Yan looked at Yuantian and a smile appeared on her face, "Maybe there are some considerations from Lord Wei himself."

"Sister...Is he willing?" Feng Xiaoqi asked.
