(Not a lighthearted 'face-slapping' novel)
When the war ended, the good bow was hidden away. The Duke Boyang's residence was accused of treason, raided, and annihilated. All the m...
Chapter 450: A Glimpse of a Thousand Years
It's too late, he comes back, too late!
Huo Changan felt a sweet and fishy taste in his mouth and suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.
Is it still not possible in this life?
"Old Four, you have to let Ning'er leave peacefully."
"Fourth brother, Fourth Sister-in-law said that she hopes the Huo family will have many descendants and great success."
"Fourth brother, Ning'er said that she hopes for a unified world with peace and prosperity for the people."
"Fourth brother, Ning'er said she is not dead, but wants to return to her hometown."
…
Mother, sister-in-law, and younger sister all said a lot.
Huo Changan heard it all.
He heard it.
Sang Ning said many auspicious words, hoping that the Huo family would turn bad luck around and have no more troubles, that the Huo family would have many descendants, and that the world and the people would be better off.
But I didn't say a word of blessing to him.
He chuckled softly.
She doesn't dare!
She is reluctant!
He wanted the Huo family to have many descendants, but he didn't want them to be his!
Fortunately, she didn't say it, otherwise he would definitely hate her!
"Who is God? Why does he let her come and go as she pleases?"
"I disagree."
Huo Changan wiped the corner of his mouth and turned into the dark night.
"Old Four! Where are you going?" the old lady shouted.
"Aren't you getting married? I'll go get the things for the wedding."
Everything for the wedding is ready.
Li Yuzhi wanted to tell him, but Huo Changan was no longer visible.
"Mom, Fourth Brother, you're not going to let it go, are you?"
"Even if he can't get over it, his mother won't try to persuade him. Even if he follows Ning'er, that's what Ning'er deserves."
It was all thanks to Ning'er that the Huo family was able to return to Kyoto.
Now that he has brought all the people back safely, he has disobeyed the will of heaven and is being punished.
So what if I took away her son!
Li Yuzhi wiped her tears and silently directed people to clean up the courtyard and hang red silk and paste wedding characters.
The second day.
Dawn breaks over the horizon.
The three brothers Huo Qingchuan, Huo Zhanfeng and Huo Qiuye are all back.
Yan Meng, Wei Chang, Pei Ming'an, Wu Gaoda, all the generals, not one was left out.
Dense groups of soldiers surrounded the marquis' mansion.
The entire capital city was still as quiet as a chicken.
The shops are closed and all the alleys are empty.
The wealthy and powerful families are like turtles hiding in their shells, keeping their doors closed.
The once prosperous capital city now looks like a tomb, eerily quiet.
Suddenly, a dilapidated cart appeared on the street.
On the cart lay an old man who was dying, emaciated and confused. He was covered with a tattered thin blanket, and his lips and teeth were frozen purple.
The one pulling the cart was her son, who was also thinly dressed, shivering and looking sad.
"Go home... go home..." the old man murmured over and over again.
The son looked around like a frightened mouse, trying to see if the surrounding environment was safe.
While saying: "Mom, look ahead, there must be a clinic open.
Mom, you must hold on and make it through the New Year.
Next year, your son will get married, and she will give birth to your grandchildren. You must live to see them!"
In fact, there was no money left. The money I used to marry a wife was all spent on my mother's medical treatment.
But the money has been spent, he has to keep one of his wife and mother!
In this way, the son walked another half street.
Finally, there was movement ahead.
"Bang, bang..."
The armor rubbed against each other and the boots squeaked.
It sounded like the army was coming!
The son was trembling with fear and could no longer walk. He even forgot to hide.
"General, please spare my life!" He fell to the ground, not having the strength to get up.
The old man climbed down from the car.
"Son...it's mother who has caused you trouble..."
"mother……"
The people around were all looking out through the cracks in their doors.
He looked at the mother and son in the middle of the street with panic and regret.
They are about to die.
The army has arrived.
"Auntie! Little brother, what's wrong?" A deep voice came.
The overwhelming feeling of oppression made the son speechless.
"General, it looks like he's sick!"
The general immediately arranged two people.
"Take them to the clinic and let the doctor treat them well. This is the consultation fee."
He gave his men some small change and had them give the mother and son a bag of whatever they were carrying.
"Auntie, this is the wedding candy for my master and mistress, oh, the wedding candy for Huo Changan, the fourth son of the Huo family, and Sang Ning of the Sang family.
Their last marriage was not satisfactory, so this time they want to get married again.
Eat a piece of candy, live well, and after the New Year, all the days ahead will be good."
The mother and son couldn't believe it.
The soldier had helped his son pull the cart and they were walking towards the clinic together.
Then the soldiers dispersed and distributed wedding candies door to door.
"Huo Changan, Sang Ning is very happy today, let's celebrate with the people!"
"Huo Changan, Sang Ning is very happy today, let's celebrate with the people!"
"Huo Changan, Sang Ning is very happy today, let's celebrate with the people!"
Such shouts were heard in every street.
A bag of wedding candy and a piece of red silk were placed at the door of every house.
After the soldiers passed by, the tightly closed doors opened one by one.
"The Huo family army is not as vicious and murderous as the imperial court claims!"
“But that day I saw with my own eyes a whole land of people dead.”
"You didn't understand. Those civilians were just pretending! I saw them with knives in their hands, and they killed more people than the soldiers."
"So that's how it is!"
"Think about it, the Huo family was so kind in the past. They never bullied us ordinary people!"
"That's right! Those monks aren't good people either, they're fake monks! I saw them grabbing several children and threatening the soldiers!"
…
More and more people were going out, and people on the streets were piled up together.
The capital seemed to have awakened and was full of vitality.
They held wedding candies in their hands and talked about Huo Changan and Sang Ning's marriage.
The Sang family has been imprisoned. When the marriage between the unknown eldest daughter of the Sang family and Huo Changan was publicized for a while, everyone was mocking and despising her.
I didn’t expect that the two of them would get married again with such a grand fanfare.
All the wedding candy shops in the city were sold out overnight, and the candy that was not enough had to be transported from other cities overnight.
By noon, everyone in the city had received wedding candy.
Red silk flutters on every street.
Since it is a happy day, how can we do without firecrackers.
As soon as the firecracker shop opened, it was sold out.
The rich family who received the wedding candy also returned the favor.
It was considered a blessing to those who were getting married, and they were also thankful that they had escaped a catastrophe.
It is also to welcome the new master.
The whole city was celebrating.
Huo Changan returned to the Marquis' Mansion from the palace, bringing back the wedding dress that fifty-two royal embroiderers had worked hard on all night, as well as the phoenix crown made by skilled craftsmen.
Various wedding scarves, handkerchiefs, socks, shawls, child bags, night-shining pearls...
Sanning didn't wake up.
Until Yucui and Yubai bathed her, changed her clothes, and dressed her up.
Yu Cui had no choice but to prick Sang Ning's finger while Huo Changan was not paying attention.
"Wow, you look...good."
When she opened her eyes, she saw Huo Changan in wedding clothes.
He is tall and slender, very handsome, with sparkling eyes, and he is both charming and resolute.
The moment she opened her eyes, the cold air dissipated like snow melting in the spring breeze.
In his eyes, there is a tenderness that lasts for a thousand years, which is hard to let go.
It is impossible to escape from this fatal affection.
