Chapter 1122 Picking up the Bride
In the end, it was Fatty and Du Moyu who held him back, saving the eighty-six-year-old village chief from a physical ordeal.
But Jiang Cheng's ferocious look still scared the old village chief. He didn't know why this little master turned against him faster than turning the page in a book. One second he praised him for his ability and political integrity, but the next second he turned into a thief.
After finally appeasing Jiang Cheng, the fat man turned to look at the old village chief, "I wonder why you are so dazed over there. Tell me quickly, what is going on with the gift of marriage, the process, and are there any taboos."
Hearing the fat man speak, the old village chief reacted and nodded quickly, "Yes, yes, yes, according to my investigation and the description of this young master, I think Empress Dahe must regard this young master as It’s Lu Jianli, the paper man.”
"What Miss Wu is looking forward to most is definitely Lu Jianli coming back to pick her up after high school."
"That's right." The village chief seemed to suddenly remember something and said quickly: "We found a half-burned piece of paper at the place where the watchman lived. It recorded that Lu Jianli was the top pick in high school. Maybe it was Lu Jianli who was selected as the top pick in high school. Let’s break away from the promise to Miss Wu.”
Jiang Cheng glared at the old village chief and huffed angrily. Du Moyu asked for him: "So, brother Jiang is going to come back today as a prostitute, and then marry Miss Dahe Wu's family?"
"That's right." The village chief nodded, then lowered his voice with a slightly nervous expression, "But just like before, after all, Dahe Empress is that kind of thing, so the ceremony is at night, during the third watch of the night.
"Furthermore, the ceremony, etiquette, and liveliness must be comprehensive. Only in this way can Empress Dahe be satisfied and fulfill her wish." The village chief continued to add.
The watchmen and other sinister people have died tragically, so Empress Dahe's revenge has been avenged. Now, her only wish is to wait for her sweetheart, Lu Jianli.
But Jiang Cheng soon discovered the suspicion, "Since Lady Dahe already knew that these were the faults of the Yinxing people and killed them with her own hands, she should have guessed that the so-called Lu Jianli was fake and just a piece of paper. Man, what else can’t she let go of?”
The village chief made a grimace, "That's right, but who knew that Queen Dahe saw you, little master?"
"So it's my fault?" Jiang Cheng's heart suddenly burst into flames.
"No, no, no, I'm just discussing the matter. Don't get angry. Don't hurt the harmony." The village chief was frightened by Jiang Cheng and quickly begged for mercy.
Jiang Cheng had to sigh in the end. Since the uncooked rice was already cooked, it was already done and there was no point in thinking of other methods. He had no choice but to calm down and think about how to deal with tonight's ceremony first.
"Let me ask you, after tonight's ceremony, will Queen Dahe's grievances be resolved?" Jiang Cheng was very concerned about this issue, otherwise his work would be in vain. ׺°”˜˜`”°º×
The village chief thought for a moment and nodded awkwardly, "That should be the case."
"Should?" Jiang Cheng suddenly raised his voice.
Seeing that Jiang Cheng was about to get angry again, the village chief hurriedly explained, "Don't get angry, little master. Whether you can satisfy Lady Dahe or not has nothing to do with me. It depends on how little master performs tonight."
The fat man's heart skipped a beat and he thought something was wrong. This was a rare weakness of the doctor. It had been more than 30 seconds. I don't know if there has been any improvement after such a long time.
Before Jiang Cheng could say anything, he noticed that the fat man was looking at him with a look that meant he was dead. He couldn't help but panic, "Why are you looking at me like this?"
"Why don't you have any idea?" The fat man said with a sad face and answered matter-of-factly.
The village chief interrupted: "My little master, you only need to be responsible for making Lady Dahe happy. Leave the rest to us."
"Tonight, I will gather all the villagers and hold a grand ceremony for you. I will definitely make you glorious." The village chief's voice was rare sincerity. "It can be regarded as atonement for us people. ”
"I think we were also deceived by evil people back then, so we watched Miss Wu's misfortune happen. Miss Wu was very good to our villagers, and Mr. Wu took good care of us. I'm really ashamed. Even after death, after arriving I'm afraid I won't be able to see them down there," the village chief said, wiping away tears.
"Okay, don't cry." Jiang Cheng said, "Let me ask you, the ceremony must be ceremonial. I have Lady Dahe's wedding dress. What should I do with the groom's clothes that I need? I'm afraid it's too late to do it now."
Upon hearing this, the village chief immediately said: "Don't worry about this little master, we have prepared one in advance. It matches the one worn by Empress Dahe. I will take you to try it on later. If there is anything inappropriate, leave it to the tailor." Just modify it.”
Jiang Cheng's eyes suddenly changed after hearing this. He smelled a conspiracy, "How could you prepare in advance?"
"To be honest, this one was prepared for the River God because of the previous sacrificial ceremony."
"Just in case, a total of two were prepared. One of them was thrown into the Dushui River along with the tribute. This one has been preserved."
Jiang Cheng couldn't find any loopholes for the time being, so he asked the village chief to lead the way and try on this groom's suit.
In recent years, Jiang Cheng has tried many types of clothes in nightclubs due to his work, but this is his first time wearing this antique groom's outfit.
After seeing Jiang Cheng put on this groom's uniform, even the village chief couldn't help but marvel.
Jiang Cheng has a gentle and delicate face and a slender figure. He wears a brocade crown on his head, a cyan ribbon around his waist, and a fine white jade pendant hanging from it.
In every gesture, he was graceful and handsome, with a gentle breeze and flowing clothes, he was truly a scholar!
The fat man suddenly believed that perhaps the doctor was not lying, he was really the top player in the high-end group, and only accepted advance reservations and car pick-up and drop-off.
"I will prepare the banquet and everything else in advance. Tonight at three o'clock in the morning, all the men, women, old and young in the village will be at the roadside at the entrance of the village to welcome the third place winner!"
"I will go to the Dushui River to pick up the bride by myself?" Jiang Cheng frowned slightly, he got into the role quickly.
"That's it." The village chief said with some embarrassment, "But it doesn't matter, we have prepared a fast horse for you, little master, can you ride a horse?"
Jiang Cheng hesitated for a moment and nodded, "A little."
The village chief breathed a sigh of relief, "That's great, I'll leave it to you tonight."
After repeatedly checking the process of tonight and taking every detail into consideration, more than half of the day had passed.
After dinner, he led the white horse and set off.
It is not accurate to say that there is one man and one horse, after all, there is a Wu lying on the ground.
According to the procedure, he needs to rush to a deserted temple near the Dushui River in advance and wait.
Waiting for the third watch tonight to pick up his bride.
