When Li Xiu woke up this morning, he felt his right eyelid twitching. He also thought that Pei Ju came to find him yesterday and insisted on the day of getting married today, which made him feel even more uneasy. He didn't know if Li Shimin is reliable in his work?

However, Li Xiu soon realized that getting married is not a matter of one person, and he must also be approved in advance, and even requires his cooperation. As long as he does not agree, Pei Ju would not force him to get married. Thinking of this, Li Xiu finally felt a little relieved, and he had punched and took a shower like usual, and had breakfast under Yue Chan's service.

Li Chengdao did not come today. Last time, Li Shimin said that he would send Li Chengqian, who was less than five years old, but maybe because the weather was too hot, he hadn't seen Li Chengqian come to the past two days. However, even so, Li Xiu still asked Qi Niang to come to class, after all, she was her main student.

The course Li Xiu prepared for Qi Niang today is history. Compared with Li Chengdao, Qi Niang is much worse in literature and history, so as long as Li Chengdao cannot come during this period, he will tell Qi Niang some knowledge of literature and history, such as the rise and fall of all dynasties, and there are some short stories of historical figures interspersed in the middle. Qi Niang listened to this with relish.

However, just as Li Xiu was about to talk about it at noon, he suddenly heard melodious music coming from outside, as well as the noise of the crowd, and it seemed that he was getting closer and closer to them. This made him a little surprised. He was about to let someone go outside to see what was going on, but Liu'er ran in and shouted: "Old... Master, there is a team of brides to send off his parents!"

"The team to send off the bride? Is anyone nearby going to get married?" Li Xiu said before he could react at first. After all, he never expected Pei Ju to send the bride over without notifying him.

"The master is in trouble. It's... the Pei family's team to send off their brides. They said they wanted to let you greet the bride in person!" Before Liu'er could answer, Yuechan also ran in unhappy at this time and said, "She is the housekeeper of the mansion and had already contacted the Pei family outside just now.

"What a joke? I haven't agreed to this marriage, nor have I gone to welcome the bride. How could they send someone here?" Li Xiu couldn't help but stand up in shock when he heard this. He had underestimated Pei Ju's shamelessness before, and was caught off guard by the other party's actions.

"Master, the people from the Pei family said that they think we are too far away from the Pei family, so they are worried that they will miss the auspicious time, so they sent the person first according to the custom of marrying daughters from afar. Now I'm waiting for you to pick you up the bride!" Yuechan said anxiously again. Li Xiu and Princess Pingyang could be hidden from others, but definitely not her. Although she also had a strange relationship with Li Xiu, in her heart, only a woman like Princess Pingyang could be worthy of Li Xiu.

"Shameless!" Li Xiu couldn't help but curse angrily when he heard this. He never expected that there were such shameless people in this world. Not only did he treat his daughter as a bargaining chip, but even made his daughter the laughing stock of the entire Chang'an, he also wanted to push her to him. It was so shameless!

"Master, it's useless to scold anything now. The Pei family's bride sent off the bride is outside, and it has also attracted many nearby people. If you don't go to pick up the bride, it will probably affect your reputation!" Yuechan said anxiously again at this time.

"Come on the bride?" Li Xiu couldn't help but feel overwhelmed when he heard this. If he had taken the bride, it would have fallen into Pei Ju's calculations. Li Xiu had never thought of marrying the young lady of the Pei family. But if he didn't take the bride, there would be so many people watching outside. It won't take long before this matter would spread throughout Chang'an City. I'm afraid this was also under Pei Ju's calculations.

Just when Li Xiu was at a loss at home, the wardrobe in the carriage outside was also uncomfortable. It was almost noon. The weather outside was so hot that even the people watching the fun hid in the shade of the trees, but only her carriage was still basking in the sun, and the doors and windows of the carriage were closed, and the whole carriage looked like a steamer. She was wearing thick wedding clothes. After a while, her whole body was soaked with sweat.

However, compared to the physical torment, what made the mother-in-law even more uncomfortable was the psychological torment. Since the bride-sending team came to Li Xiu's house, they have not seen the people inside go out to greet him. Instead, the door is closed. Now the people in the team don't know what to do. The mother went down to discuss it with someone, and the people watching the fun outside were even more talking. Even though she was in the carriage, she could still feel the strange eyes of the people outside.

"Sister Yi Niang, what's going on? It's fine if the rules for weddings have changed. Why doesn't the Li family come out to welcome the bride?" At this time, Fan Meng asked with sweat while trying hard to fan Yi Niang. At this time, even she could see something was wrong.

"Fan'er, can't you still see it?" The lady suddenly smiled gently at this time, and picked up a round fan next to her and started to snatch it. Fortunately, Fan'er was with her at that time, otherwise she really didn't know if she could hold on.

"What the hell is going on? Sister Yi, have you seen it?" Fan'er asked with her innocent big eyes when she heard this.

"It's very simple. If I guess well, I'm afraid Li Xiu wouldn't have agreed to this marriage at all. Everything is my father... Let's call him his father." When he said this, the lady suddenly smiled sadly, and then continued, "Everything was planned by his father himself. Without Li Xiu's consent, she forced me to come here and forced him to take over this marriage. If he refused, I'm afraid this matter would spread throughout Chang'an immediately, and his reputation would be affected by it."

"Ah? Master... how could he do this? Sister Yi Niang, you are his dear daughter!" Fan'er couldn't help but widen her eyes in shock when she heard this, and said incredible. Although she grew up in the Pei Mansion, she was too young after all, and she could not understand the sinisterness in people's hearts.

"What a daughter, she is just a concubine's daughter. In his eyes, she is probably just a bargaining chip that can exchange interests." The lady in the air smiled sadly again, but there were already crystal tears in her eyes.

"Sister Yi Niang, what should we do now?" Fan'er couldn't help but feel a little scared when she heard this. Faced with this complicated situation, she instinctively felt a little panicked.

"What can we do? It's just at the mercy of others. But now it depends on how Mr. Li Xiu and Li choose. If he can't withstand the pressure and does not want to damage his reputation, then it is possible to go out to meet the bride so that the marriage can continue. But there is another possibility, that is, he drove our team of brides out in anger, and then..."

When the lady spoke at the end, two lines of clear tears appeared in her eyes. If Li Xiu drove them out, it would be the biggest humiliation in the world for her. I am afraid that she would have no other choice except for death. Thinking of this, she also felt cold in her heart. With her father's scheming, she might have thought of this, but he didn't care at all and still sent her over. In this way, her life might not be worth a penny in his heart.

The girl in the carriage was crying, while the people watching the fun outside the carriage were talking a lot, and they couldn't understand why the bride was sent to the door, and why the groom at home didn't come out to greet her? Speaking of which, everyone has the mentality of watching the fun. The stranger the thing is, the more curious it can arouse others' curiosity. Some people are randomly speculating that some must be the bride's bride is too ugly, and some say that the bride must have a bad disease, etc. Anyway, there is nothing good to say, and these words are also heard through the thin carriage of the carriage, which makes her feel even more aggrieved.

But at this moment, suddenly, a rapid sound of horse hooves came from afar. Then a team of cavalry rushed over, and then ran around the team to see off the wedding in front of the door. At the same time, the knights on the horse shouted together: "The Detachment of Women is acting, and all irrelevant people are retreating!"

When the Tang Dynasty was first established, everything was dominated by military control, so the army had a very high prestige among the people. Moreover, the cavalry that was watched by the fun was actually from the Detachment of Women, so they didn't dare to stay here anymore. In a short while, all those who watched the fun left. After all, although the fun was good, it was not to cause trouble for themselves, otherwise most people would hide as far as possible.

After dispersing the people watching the fun, a burly middle-aged general rushed out of the cavalry. It was Li Xiu's friend Ma, who was old-fashioned. Ma looked like he was dusty and seemed to have just returned from another place.

In fact, after Li Xiu invented honeycomb coal some time ago, Ma Ye began to purchase the carbonite mines found in various parts of the Tang Dynasty. He just came back today, but he didn't expect that there was a team of hiding his relatives in front of Li Xiu's house. Although he didn't know what was going on, he also knew that those onlookers were also troublesome, so he asked his knights to disperse the crowd.

"What's the situation? Which family are you from, and why are you stuck here?" Mr. Ma came to the bride-seeing team and looked at it for a while, then asked loudly.

Pei Zhi, who was sent off for the bride, had not left yet, and he knew Mr. Ma, and when he saw him, he secretly screamed, but he didn't allow him to retreat at this time. He had to bite the bullet and smile, "It turns out that it is General Ma, and Pei Zhi, who is in the lower house. His brother is Pei Zhi, the Duke of Anyi County. This time he came to see my niece off for his bride!"

"Send a marriage? What kind of marriage?" Mr. Ma ran against the sun for a whole morning, and asked, now he was still unable to turn around.

"Haha, General Ma doesn't know that our Pei family and the Li family have already gotten married, and his brother has also discussed getting married today with Li Jijiu, so I'm sending him to the bride!" Although Pei Zhi is not as cunning as his brother, he is also a clever person, and even the black ones can be said to be white by him.
