Chapter 449
Mianzhou is the border city of Cangyue, which is close to South Vietnam. When King An’s [-] troops were stationed here a few months ago, the people of Mianzhou closed their homes almost every night. Even during the day, they rarely left the city unless they had to. .

At that time, the military discipline was chaotic, and the phenomenon of disturbing the people and plundering was serious. The decent ladies did not dare to step out of the house, for fear of bad luck, and regret for the rest of their lives.

It wasn't until the disastrous defeat in the battle with South Vietnam that lost nearly 8 soldiers and horses that Shuhe beheaded the general in the army and took over the remaining [-] people, the situation began to improve.

Now that the country of Nanyue has been destroyed, and the land has already been included in Cang Yue's territory, Mianzhou has truly escaped from the chaos of war and started to return to normal livelihood.

Baiyun Fort is located in Mianzhou City. Enter from the city gate and walk tens of miles to the north, and you will see the three gold-plated characters of "Baiyun Fort" in front of you.

Baiyun Castle covers a huge area, facing south, almost running through the entire street from east to west.It has considerable financial resources, but compared with the Xiangbei Qingjia, it is still inferior.

The marriage of the two families naturally caused quite a stir. Apart from those invited on the invitation, there were not a few people who came uninvited.

And Su Mo and his party were naturally among them.

The Yuehe Inn where I stayed last night was not far from here. After breakfast early in the morning, Su Mo, who was dressed as a gentleman in men's clothing, went to Baiyun Castle to join in the fun, accompanied by Biyue.

Marrying a daughter is naturally different from marrying a daughter-in-law. The man will not arrive until noon, but the owner of Baiyun Castle and his wife open the door to welcome guests before dawn, with smiles on their faces showing the joy in their hearts, and more relieved .

The main hall of Baiyun Castle is very large. There are countless tables and chairs from the main hall to the outside of the hall. The main hall alone is enough to accommodate nearly 300 people.

The sound of festive firecrackers crackled as soon as the door opened, and most of the people holding the invitations were famous people in Jianghu or those who were closely related to Baiyun Castle, so they were naturally arranged in the main hall, uninvited to ask for a glass of wedding wine To drink, you can only sit outside the hall. The morning is fine, but once the hour is over, the scorching sun shines on your body, and the wine seems to have been heated in an instant, and it has been baked for half a day. The feeling can only be experienced personally People understand.

The owner of the castle entertained the guests in front, and the wife had already returned to the West Garden where the female relatives lived.

The Lord of Baiyun Castle has three sons and one daughter, and the Hongfeng Garden in the west garden is the bedroom of the only and youngest daughter, Hongyuan.

If it weren't for the rumors that had been raging a few years ago, Bai Hongyuan was undoubtedly the most favored daughter in the Bai family castle, and she could tell from the dormitory where she lived.

The Nine-Zigzag Corridor leads directly from the main courtyard to the Red Maple Garden. It twists and turns and winds for several miles. There is an artificial lake and rockery outside the garden. Although it is not big, the scenery is very charming. The corridor in the Nine Districts directly connects to the lake. The four-corner gazebo in the center.

There is a well-managed garden on the left side of Hongfengyuan, in which all kinds of top-quality flower species exude a cool and comfortable light fragrance, not to mention those who cannot be named, but only those few pots that I know-the purple orchids, and Red, blue, yellow, and white peonies in full bloom on the same plant probably cost more than a thousand taels of silver each.

The two-story attic where Bai Hongyuan lives is even more exquisitely carved and exquisite. The furniture and wood used inside and out are all high-quality. of soft light.

Outside the attic, the scenery is unique.

In the attic, it is beautiful.

The white and red mandarin ducks dressed in enchanting red are sitting in front of the dressing table, looking expressionlessly at the exquisite face carefully depicted in the mirror, with black eyebrows, red lips, flawless skin that can be blown away, delicate and small Chin...Looking up slightly, facing the pair of phoenix eyes that seem to be talking in the mirror, the deeply hidden emotions in it seem to be able to glimpse a little bit of unknown agitation only through the reflection of the mirror.

The maidservants and nurses who were serving beside her stood aside in a dignified manner, not knowing what they were waiting for, with a faint look of anxiety on their faces, but they did not dare to urge them.

"Oh my baby, why haven't you changed your clothes yet?"

The familiar voice suddenly came, and all the maidservants heaved a long sigh of relief.

Bai Hongyuan tilted her head slightly, and said flatly: "Mother."

"It's almost time, baby, why don't you change your clothes?" Mrs. Bai glanced at the set of phoenix coronets neatly placed on the bed, and couldn't help feeling strange.

"It's still early." Bai Hongyuan said calmly, "It's still two hours before noon, mother, don't worry."

"Girl, are you unhappy?" Mrs. Bai looked at her strangely, "Didn't you look forward to this day and night? Why don't you see any joy on your face right now?"

The maidservants of the family thought to themselves, it's not a day or two since the young lady has a cold temper, even if she is happy in her heart, she won't show it on her face to let you know, right?

"My daughter is naturally happy." Bai Hongyuan said so, but her face was indifferent, only slightly drooping eyes revealed a few traces of strange emotion.

Bai Hongyuan stood up, dragged her long red skirt, and walked slowly to the railing. From the position on the second floor, one could vaguely see the lively and joyous atmosphere in the front hall.

Mrs. Bai sighed in her heart, looking at her slender and charming back, after years of training, the girl's temperament seemed to be more alienated, even on a happy day, she couldn't see her face with a happy smile as she wished.

"Baby, change into the wedding dress and let mother take a look." Mrs. Bai signaled the maid to wait for the lady to change, "The groom's official is coming soon, baby..."

"Mom, you go out for a while."

Madam Bai was startled, "Baby?"

"Mother, you go out for a while." Bai Hongyuan turned her head and said calmly, "You guys also go out, and come in half an hour later to serve and change clothes."

Although Mrs. Bai was puzzled, seeing that she seemed unwilling to explain further, she nodded and said: "Then you have a good rest, mother will come back later."

Bai Hongyuan didn't speak, but nodded slightly.

After Mrs. Bai led a group of maids and empresses out the door, Bai Hongyuan said calmly: "Since you are here, come in."

Su Mo, who was dressed as a nobleman in white clothes, stepped on the wall with his toes, and with a few light taps, he flew up to the attic with a gecko kung fu. His movements were extremely chic and elegant, and Bi Yue followed closely behind him. No less.

Su Mo held a folding fan, looked around, and casually looked at this antique female boudoir. After a while, his eyes fell on the wedding dress placed on the bed, and he smiled faintly: "Miss, this set of phoenix crown and Xiapei is really beautiful, why not?" Wear it on your body to try the effect?"

"It fits well even if you don't need to wear it." Bai Hongyuan looked at it in a blink of an eye, and the deep tenderness in her eyes was flowing slowly at this moment. After the mask of indifference was removed, the strong emotion could no longer conceal its surge.
