Chapter 89

After traveling all night, when dawn came, they had already left the territory of Fengxian Prefecture. After walking for another two days, they arrived at Yunshi Town, under the jurisdiction of Donglin Prefecture.

At this moment, Dongfang Yan introduced to Lin Qingyue: "The geographical location near Yunshi Town is peculiar, and the nearby mountains produce a lot of jade. Among them, white jade is the best, and the price is only one-tenth of that in the capital. After finding an inn and putting down your luggage, you can go shopping and choose some jade jewelry you like."

Lin Qingyue was leaning on the large welcome pillow in the carriage at this moment, stretching: "I slept in the carriage all day, it's just right to come out and move around at night."

While speaking, their carriage had already entered the main road of Yunshi Town.

Unlike ordinary small towns, the houses on the main street of Yunshi Town were lined up. Various jade shops stood on both sides, and the prosperity was close to that of a county town.

It's just that the road was not very wide, and it was still about the same as an ordinary small village.

Just as everyone was looking at the surrounding scenery, the sound of knocking and beating joy came from afar.

Then, they saw a wedding procession coming from the long street ahead.

"Oh, encountered joy! This is a good thing!"

As soon as Xie Shouzheng finished speaking, the sound of blowing and beating joy also came from behind.

Turning his head to look, he saw another wedding procession coming from behind the long street.

One after the other, they soon merged together, and Lin Qingyue's carriage was caught in the middle, which was a bit awkward.

The front team stopped, and the back team also stopped.

Someone in the front team shouted: "Retreat, retreat! Hey, outsiders, I'm talking to you!"

The back team was also shouting: "Make way, make way! Outsiders in front, hurry up and clear the road!"

But this road was only so wide, the front was blocked, and the back road was blocked. And Xie Shouzheng and the others had two horses and a carriage, caught in the middle and unable to advance or retreat.

Xie Shouzheng shouted loudly: "Can't retreat, can't make way! Why don't the ones in front retreat, or the ones in the back make way! Otherwise, the road is blocked, and no one can pass!"

The front team shouted: "Retreating is unlucky, you guys retreat!"

The back team was also shouting: "We can't retreat either! Oh, hurry up, it'll be trouble if we miss the time!"

Xie Shouzheng was suddenly angry: "Hey! I say you wedding processions are really interesting, you're in a hurry, and you won't retreat. Then what can we do, we're caught in the middle and can't fly over! Why don't we all waste time here? Anyway, I, old Xie, am not getting married, I'm not in a hurry!"

He wasn't in a hurry, but the two wedding processions were in a hurry.

A matchmaker ran out of the front team and shouted: "Outsiders, why don't you move to the side and let our sedan chair pass?"

Xie Shouzheng said: "This road is only so wide? Even if we move to the side, if the other party doesn't make way, you still can't pass."

So the matchmaker shouted to the back team: "We have a long way to go and are in a hurry, please make way."

Someone in the back team also said: "We are in a hurry too! If we miss noon, it will be unlucky, and the bride will have an accident!"

The matchmaker in the front team put her hands on her hips and said: "You are afraid of bad luck, do you think we are not? We are going to Zhangjia Cun, and there is still half an hour's journey!"

The two teams refused to give in to each other, and Xie Shouzheng was caught in the middle, feeling that his head was about to split.

He asked: "What exactly is going on with you? Why do you all have to rush before noon? Why will the bride have an accident after noon?"

A matchmaker said: "Outsider, you don't know. This matter is also strange. About two months ago, in our Jade Town and the villages below, whenever a wedding was held, as long as the ceremony was delayed until after noon, the bride would be confused that night, sometimes making a scene, sometimes even beating the groom. In short, it's very evil!"

"Since it has been two months, why doesn't the Xuanjing Division come to handle it?" Xie Shouzheng remembered that there was a Xuanjing Division branch in Donglin Prefecture.

The matchmaker said: "It takes a day to go back and forth from our town to Donglin, and no one is willing to waste the effort to run this trip. Moreover, it's not every family that encounters it, so everyone tries to get married before noon to avoid risks - oh, why am I telling an outsider so much?"

After speaking, she turned her head and continued to argue with the other team.

Xie Shouzheng silently retreated to the side of the carriage and said to Lin Qingyue: "It seems like there is a situation, but it's not particularly serious. Should we meddle in this business?"

No way, he really has been doing the business of driving away evil and suppressing demons for a long time, and it's hard not to feel itchy when encountering such things.

Lin Qingyue also became curious: "Can only get married before noon, otherwise the bride will encounter evil? And then only make a scene for one night, and it's over?"

Dongfang Yan said: "If you are curious, why not go and see?"

Lin Qingyue said: "Anyway, we are staying here to rest today, why not go and join in the fun and have a cup of wedding wine."

And the two wedding processions, after arguing, successfully missed the auspicious time.

It was also at this time that one of the teams was willing to compromise and retreated a distance.

Xie Shouzheng and the others moved their carriage and horses to the side, watching the two wedding processions almost finish walking, and he thought: "There are two weddings, I don't know which family will be contaminated with evil spirits."

Lin Qingyue said to Dongfang Yan: "Why don't we split into two groups and follow one family each to see the situation?"

Xie Shouzheng hurriedly said: "Young Master, then I'll go with you!"

Dongfang Yan scanned him lightly: "You take Hong Yao."

Xie Shouzheng still wanted to ask why, but was secretly glared at by Dongfang Yan. He felt a little aggrieved: Is the Crown Prince disliking me?

Although they were in a hurry, the wedding procession had to carry the bride's sedan chair and couldn't walk fast at all.

Lin Qingyue and Dongfang Yan followed and soon arrived at Zhangjia Cun, in front of the house where the wedding was being held.

Because they missed the auspicious time, the bride's sedan chair was still parked outside the main gate at this moment.

The groom's family was very anxious:

"Missed the time, what should we do?"

"Why don't we carry it back and come again tomorrow?"

"Absurd, how can there be a reason to send the bride back after the wedding procession has reached the door?"

"But what if the bride is also possessed by evil at night? This is too unlucky!"

Just when everyone was worried, Lin Qingyue stood out pretendingly: "I heard that there have been evil spirits around here recently? It's a coincidence, we brother and sister are just demon catchers, traveling here. I wonder if we can have a cup of wedding wine?"

This is simply sending a pillow when you are sleepy!

The host immediately welcomed them: "That's really a coincidence! Come, come, please sit inside."

If Lin Qingyue had asked for silver as soon as she opened her mouth, the host might have been suspicious, but they only said they wanted a cup of wedding wine. For a family holding a wedding, this was not worth mentioning at all.

Immediately, they were welcomed in and treated as honored guests.

The wedding ceremony, which was originally struggling whether to continue, now dispelled its concerns because of the addition of Lin Qingyue and Dongfang Yan.

The joy played, and the wedding ceremony officially began.
