Xinghui Dream Plaza
Ding Can nodded in understanding: "Now that Xiao Gao hasn't appeared, it's more likely that he's in the Lu family mausoleum."
After all, apart from the welcoming house, this is the only place to go.
"I'll look for it carefully when we get there."
Yu Fu saw that she had mentioned Gao Wenwen's name twice, and thought that she was more worried because they had fought together before.
With a clang, the carriage tilted noticeably and then shook several times.
The entrance to the sedan chair was narrow. He had just come in bent over and was squatting on the ground, so it was difficult for him to keep steady. Now he had to hold on to the side of the car to barely keep his balance.
"Why don't you come sit over here too?"
Ding Can moved his body to the side. There was no place to sit on either side of the sedan except the chair where he was currently sitting.
"Okay." Yu Fu also felt that the two of them were a bit crowded in the sedan, but compared to the possibility of falling again, it would be better to sit next to her.
After all, the possibility of road problems is indeed greater on rainy days.
He bent forward and took a step, not daring to turn around too much. He sat down almost touching the other person's legs, and tried his best to squeeze his broad body into the corner.
What he didn't tell Ding Can was that the reason he couldn't speak the moment she entered the sedan chair was because he was stunned by her beautiful face.
In the few times we met, she always had the same bare-faced look as when she entered the training camp.
Now with his makeup and hair done, he is still the same person, the same military officer, but I always feel like something is different.
The long hair that fell on both shoulders was combed up, revealing a smooth and lonely profile. On both sides of the top of the head there was a phoenix hairpin with wings spread out, ready to fly. The wings tilted upwards, and in a trance they looked like little golden ears.
The eyebrows are shaped like a low hill, pointed at both ends and spreading out in the middle.
The eyes are decorated with crabapple-colored eyeshadow, and the upturned corners of the eyes appear affectionate.
Slightly above the eyebrows, right in the center of the forehead, there are several lustrous pearls veneer on it, forming the shape of a flower.
Complementing the two are two smaller pearls, half an inch to the left and right of the corners of the lips.
Especially when it suddenly saw himself appear just now and its eyes suddenly opened in surprise, it reminded him of some small animal with very round and cute eyes.
But strangely enough, due to memory loss, he actually had no memory of ever seeing this animal.
In the end, I can only conclude that I haven't seen strangers in the office for a long time, so I feel so uncomfortable.
In a very short period of time, Yu Fu thought about so many things, and his main attention was on Ding Can outside the sedan chair, so he didn't notice anything at all.
Naturally, she wouldn't pay special attention to the stiff back and tense face of the person next to her because of the physical contact.
"Hey, can you find a way to let me see outside?"
Ding Can put his ear to the side of the car, trying to listen to the sounds outside. He looked through the gap in the curtain, but he couldn't see clearly and there was a risk of being discovered.
I have a reserve of humanoid props around me, so I must make good use of them.
Yu Fu was silent for a moment, then took out a scroll-shaped prop.
Ding Can stared at it carefully: "What is this? It looks like rolled cold noodles."
It looks duang duang, and has some colors like vegetables and meat in it.
Yu Fu fell silent for a moment, unfolded the scroll-like object in his hand, and then stuck it on the carriage.
The scroll was made of a jelly-like material, and the colors Ding Can had seen before were covering its surface, like the colorful snowflake pattern that would appear when there was no TV signal.
When it was completely spread out and the last corner was flattened, the snowflakes flashed a few times, and in the blink of an eye, the side panels of the carriage became transparent, completely reflecting the scene outside.
Yu Fu explained, "This is a panoramic water curtain. It has a see-through effect. You can see the scenery outside the covered object, and it has a 360-degree field of view."
He pasted the panoramic water curtain in the carriage, which was equivalent to pasting it on the entire sedan chair.
This means that the sedan chair they are currently riding in is actually invisible, and everything around them can be seen through the props.
"It's so clear..." Ding Can looked at it for a while before slowly getting used to the feeling of having a comprehensive view.
This prop can even capture your gaze. As your eyes move, you can see the change in angle, so just focus on watching without moving.
It’s just that Yu Fu stuck the props on his side, so if she wanted to use the props to look out, she had to turn sideways towards him at first.
"We can change positions." Yu Fu suddenly said.
He still had some sense. Knowing that his clothes were not suitable for making big movements, Ding Can gave him a thumbs up in his heart: "Okay, anyway, you can go out and see for yourself later."
After the two quickly changed positions, Ding Can continued to look out through the water curtain. The wedding convoy had now moved away from the welcoming house and was driving into a dense forest.
There are still many raindrops on the surface of the leaves. After gathering together, they drip down along the tips of the leaves and fall to the ground.
The dirt road was even more muddy, and the accumulated rainwater had not had time to evaporate and disperse.
The carriage in front had passed through several times, and relatively obvious ruts had formed on the road. The rainwater from the high places had flowed over, and when the carriage wheels passed over, small pieces of mud and water would splash.
The convoy was not moving very fast. Apart from the difficulties caused by the special weather, it seemed that it was also pressing for time.
In addition to the auspicious time to leave the welcoming house, there are also certain requirements for the time to arrive at the Lu family tomb.
Each carriage was very quiet at this moment, and the brides were all well-behaved at this moment.
"Did you see which sedan chair Shi Yan got into?" Ding Can couldn't identify the vehicle based on guesswork.
"The second car in front of us."
"Oh." Ding Can wore a hairpin on her head, which swayed gently with her movements. The gold piece at the bottom of the hairpin brushed against Yu Fu's shoulder lightly, and he leaned back uncomfortably.
Ding Can's eyes were on the water curtain, so of course he didn't notice it. He just continued to observe the scene outside.
It turned out that not only the brides to be chosen, but even the ceremonial guard responsible for playing music outside, were sitting cross-legged in a carriage.
In order to ensure that the sound can be transmitted well, the carriage is open-air, with only a round cover and curtains hanging around it to temporarily shelter from the wind.
The honor guard rode in several carriages, with three rows and three columns in each carriage, with a total of nine people playing various musical instruments.
It is worth noting that Ding Can originally thought that this section of road was only illuminated by the team's own lights, but in fact, on both sides of the forest, every few meters, there were many lit lanterns hanging with natural trees as support.
The road ahead was brightly lit, like the simple street lights in ancient times.
If there were night walkers, they would definitely feel peaceful when seeing such a scene, but for these brides, it was the exact opposite.
Even Ding Can, who was driving, could see clearly that it was a scarecrow wearing the same clothes as Yu Fu. Looking closely, there were even a few strands of hay sticking up at the back of the neck.
If you watch the simple action of sitting and driving for a long time, you will find something wrong, but the guards on both sides of the convoy are only concerned about safe transportation and fail to notice the details.
"The wedding will officially begin at midnight, but we will arrive at the mausoleum earlier, so we will have to wait there for a while."
While at the post station, Yu Fu also heard the news about Lord Lu's marriage from other coachmen.
Although Lord Lu's ghost marriages were strange, he paid a lot of money each time.
Because even though there is a risk of being contaminated by unclean things, there are still many people flocking to it.
After all, compared to those chosen brides, being possessed by evil spirits doesn't seem to be a big deal.
The first step in the whole process is for the bride to be selected to come out of the welcoming house. After arriving at the mausoleum, the same tedious welcoming and selection ceremony will be carried out.
The wedding ceremony will not officially begin until the bride of this year is finally chosen.
The road ahead was basically the same. We walked for almost an hour, and it was really uncomfortable to sit on the hard wooden board for such a long time.
Originally, if the weather was good, the sedan chair would be carried by people, and the shaking along the way would not be so unbearable. But now it is on the car floor, which makes the bumps even worse.
When Ding Can was beginning to doubt his life, he finally saw the outline of the Lu family tomb in the distance.
She didn't look back, but just patted Yu Fu's arm: "Hey, hey, we're almost there!"
"Then I'll go out first." Yu Fu lifted the car curtain and leaned out.
When Ding Can saw him touch the straw doll, the doll became almost the size of his palm and was hidden in his arms.
Yu Fu immediately took the reins and continued to drive the horse.
The horse didn't realize that the driver had changed. It kept walking with its head down, and it was unclear whether it was afraid that its hooves would step on slippery ground and cause it to fall.
It is said to be a mausoleum, but looking from my direction, it looks like a very large courtyard.
I'm afraid that many merchant families cannot afford such a display.
Seeing that the guards were not very close to the carriage, Ding Can chatted with Yu Fu.
"If you see Gao Wenwen after you go in, remember to say hello to him first."
Yu Fu responded absentmindedly, wondering whether he should also learn Gao Wenwen's personality and way of doing things in the future.
It seems that this can indeed get more attention from others.
Although it was ostensibly the day for selecting a bride for Mr. Lu’s wedding, earlier on, this day was actually the anniversary of his death after falling into the water.
The worship and wedding ceremonies are mixed together, and the decoration of the mausoleum is also particularly bright and eye-catching.
Regardless of their purpose, they are divided into red and white.
At the entrance of the mausoleum, two huge soul-calling banners were hung on the archway, about three or four meters high.
The background is white, with a large red talisman painted in the center. The brush picks up again at the edge of the talisman, and a number of ugly beasts are drawn.
It’s no wonder that the Lu family started out making lanterns, and using lanterns is like free of charge.
The mausoleum was filled with colorful lights, and it looked so bright and colorful that it seemed as if once you stepped into it, you would enter another world.
The outer wall of the mausoleum was now covered with overlapping red and white silks. The entrance was even more shadowy, with many people waiting.
They must be worried that it would be deserted, so they invited many other people to watch the ceremony besides them.
I think that based on the current power of the Lu family, if the wedding invitation of Lord Lu was really sent to the door, no one would dare to refuse it directly.
