C1367 Sneaking in the Dark(2)
Hearing Zhuge Dongfang's words, the eyes of the elders flickered. They smiled and nodded in agreement. At this moment, a servant quietly came to Zhuge Dongfang's ear and whispered a few words. After he nodded and looked at the elders, he said calmly, "Everything is ready, we only need the east wind!"
"Crackle..." The deafening sound of firecrackers suddenly came from outside the gate of the mansion. The elders smiled in satisfaction. Zhuge Dongfang said with a bright smile, "This Zhuge Zhe is finally here. Someone come, quickly invite the young lady out!"
"Yes!" The servants at the side immediately turned around and walked towards the west wing. Zhuge Dongfang looked meaningfully at the door that was facing him. The smile on his face gradually disappeared, but it became somewhat cold and solemn.
The door opened, and a large group of servants with boxes in front of them walked in first. They placed the valuable gifts in piles in the courtyard in front of the hall. These gifts were naturally the betrothal gifts sent by the groom. Every time a box of gifts entered, the butler at the door would shout out the name of the gift loudly. It was a sign of wealth and glory. It was a tradition of marriage in ancient times, a traditional family like the Zhuge family. Of course there's no lack of etiquette.
When the betrothal gifts were all delivered, he wore a red robe and a large red flower hung on his chest. The handsome and handsome groom, Zhuge Zhe, was the first to walk into the door with a bright smile on his face. When he saw Zhuge Dong, who was leaning against his seat with a smile, waiting for him, he could not help but walk towards the hall.
There were many families outside the door who were gossiping about the fun. Some women kept smiling as if they wanted to come in and watch the show. However, when they were glared at by the guards at the door, they immediately retreated in fear. In the Zhuge family, there was a strict hierarchy. Not all of the people living in this basin were the descendants of the Zhuge Family, and there were also many people with other surnames living in this basin. Although their surnames weren't Zhuge, they were still part of the Zhuge family. However, if they wanted to enter the core of the Zhuge family, they had to put in more effort.
In front of Zhuge Shi, their status was low. However, in front of outsiders, they felt that their status was noble. Thus, a strange phenomenon occurred. The Zhuge family had a huge number of foreigners. And in this modern and developed society, these foreigners did not leave. Instead, they merged into the family and became a big family.
Of course, the boss of this big family was naturally the high and mighty Zhuge family.
"Chief, I'm sorry, I'm a little late. My father told me that I must be prepared to be perfect before I can go out. So... " Zhuge Zhe said excitedly and apologetically," You know my father's temper, he is a meticulous person. Please forgive me. "
"Hehe. It's okay, it's okay. No one stipulates that you have to be absolutely punctual for the wedding." Zhuge Dongfang stood up with a smile and patted him on the shoulder. "I know your father's temper. It's good to be meticulous. Only meticulous people can educate such a promising son like you. "
"Thank you, master of Xie family!" Zhuge Zhe smiled and bowed to express his gratitude.
"Sigh, I said that you, Zhuge Zhe, are the best in the Zhuge family's Mandarin. He is the most intelligent person, and he is also known as Zhuge Shentong. However, I don't think his brain is that good! Even at such a time, you are still calling me 'Family Head'. Does this sound like something a groom should say?" An elder on the side laughed and pretended to mock Zhuge Zhe with a regretful expression.
When he said this, all the elders on the side burst into laughter. Then, they started to make noise. Zhuge Zhe's face turned red. After laughing awkwardly, he spoke with some embarrassment. “ Yue... Father-in-law..."
" That's more like it, haha! " The elders laughed out loud. At this moment, even Zhuge Dongfang revealed a gratified smile. He nodded and said, "Okay, I will entrust Yuyan to you in the future. You cannot let down my expectations of you."
"Invite home... Father-in-law, rest assured, I will treat Eldest Miss well. I will definitely not let her suffer any grievances! I will definitely make her happy!" When Zhuge Zhe said this, his eyes revealed a look of excitement. Indeed, with his family background, he was able to marry a young lady like Zhuge Yuyan. It was indeed very high social status.
The more Zhuge Dongfang looked at this son-in-law, the more satisfied he became. He smiled and turned his head to look at the servant beside him and asked, "Why hasn't the bride come yet? Hurry up and urge her to come out and see the groom!"
The servant hurriedly nodded in agreement. He turned around and ran towards the west wing. Before he could run far, he stopped and shouted excitedly, "The bride is here! The bride is here!! "
As expected, when everyone's attention was focused on the side door of the hall, from the side door came a long red dress in a wedding gown, with a red veil covering the top of the head that was embroidered with mandarin ducks playing with water. With the support of two female guards, she gracefully walked out, immediately attracting the cheers and applause of everyone in the hall. The two sides of the wedding gown sounded. The gong and drums were playing very happily. It was extremely lively.
Zhuge Zhe looked at the quiet bride who had been supported to his side with a heated gaze. A blissful smile appeared on his face. It was the only young lady who could marry into the Zhuge family. What else was there to be unsatisfied about?
Zhuge Dongfang nodded his head in satisfaction as he looked at the pair of newlyweds standing in front of him. " Zhuge Zhe, my son-in-law. Today, I will entrust my baby girl to you. I will remember your promise to me. I wish you all a long life together. To be united forever. Yuyan was pampered and pampered. Sometimes, she had to give in to her a little more. After all, after forming a family, we have to give in to each other in order to live a more blissful life."
" Father-in-law, please rest assured. I will definitely be loyal to Yuyan. It is my honor to be able to marry Yuyan in this lifetime. Of course, I will take good care of her and be obedient to her." Zhuge Zhe expressed his thoughts once again and made a promise.
At this time, the two female guards beside Zhuge Yuyan glanced at Zhuge Dongfang. They gradually let go of their hands that were holding Zhuge Yuyan's arm, but they did not leave her side. Zhuge Yuyan still did not move and that big red cover covered her face. She still stood quietly like a block of wood, without any movements.
Originally, according to the ancient rules, it was the male party who came to the bride's home to pick up the bride. Then, they would hold a banquet in the Fang family to invite the guests. However, since Zhuge Dongfang was the master and the patriarch of the Zhuge family... Furthermore, all the highly respected elders of the family were also here, so naturally, they had to change the topic. The venue of the wedding was chosen in the woman's house. After the wedding, Zhuge Zhe would bring the bride, Zhuge Yuyan, back to the bride's home to hold another wedding banquet.
"Greetings in the hall. Let the ceremony begin! The host wishes the host to kneel in front of the table. All of you kneel! Offer incense..." As the emcee began to shout, it meant that the wedding had officially begun. The two maids slowly walked towards the groom and bride with incense sticks in their hands. This was the incense they used to witness the marriage with the ancestral tablet in front of the temple. It was also the first step of the ancient wedding...
"How's the situation? Did you encounter any obstacles ahead?" Fann Binn looked at the bald man who rushed back from the front and hid under the wall of an old house. He asked in confusion, "What are you doing back here?"
"Boss, I just heard about the central area of Zhuge family. From the blueprint, it could be seen that there were a lot of firecrackers and firecrackers coming from the temple of Zhuge family. Has the wedding begun?" The baldy said anxiously, "Should we speed up? Otherwise, sister-in-law will become someone else's... Pah! Look at my mouth, it's really... Boss, why don't we just kill our way over. Anyway, we're already inside the family. Kill them for an unexpected surprise attack, we'll definitely save sister-in-law!"
Fann Binn thought for a while and shook his head." There's no hurry. Since we've already covered the lid, why should we hurry by uncovering it? We still need to fight steadily. You haven't told me whether the guards in front of us are strict or not?"
" Not strict. I've only killed three to four guards along the way. It seems like the guards have gone to attend the wedding banquet as well. They didn't expect that we would be able to sneak into the tightly guarded Zhuge family. " The baldy rubbed his smooth head and said in a depressed tone. "Boss, we can't let sister-in-law suffer a loss!"
Fann Binn patted his shoulder and thought carefully for a while. "Well, since there are no obstacles, we will not follow the secret route that Xiao Ying gave us. Everyone changed into ordinary clothes and hid their guns. We will swagger towards the street and head straight for the Zhuge Ancestral Shrine. Go and save Yuyan! "
"Boss is wise! Quickly, didn't you hear what Boss said? Quickly change your clothes!" The baldy excitedly took the lead to take off his green camouflage jacket and turned it around. It was a normal style of clothing. After putting it on, a baldy dressed in ordinary attire was immediately formed.
This technology was invented by the Soaring Dragon Group. This military uniform was called a multipurpose camouflage uniform. It could change the color of the military uniform according to the needs to be used for better ambush and concealment. At the same time, it could be worn in reverse to disguise as an ordinary person. Moreover, the military uniform also had bulletproof function, which could resist the frontal attack of small caliber bullets. This batch of camouflage clothing was the latest product. The first equipment was given to Baldy and the rest. They didn't expect it to come in handy so quickly.
The soldiers in normal clothes hid their guns in their backpacks or in their clothes. From the outside, they looked like a group of harmless people. Fann Binn nodded his head in satisfaction. Then, he took the lead and went straight to the ancestral hall of Zhuge family.
One had to admit that the Zhuge family was indeed very large. Just now, Fann Binn had started to walk in and out of the villages of the people with other surnames. Until now, he had just entered the border of the true town of Zhuge family, and was about to reach the ancestral hall. He was afraid that it would take him another five to six minutes to reach the Ancestral Shrine. What was worse was that the roads here were crisscrossing, and there was no guide for the Xiao Ying Blueprint. They quickly lost their way in these streets...
