Chapter 146:

Beginning with things in the palace, Yan Wangfu changed its wind direction, and everyone began to realize that although Sun Rouning was the concubine of the world, the Huaining Houfu had long since fallen. Compared to the powerful princess and the rising servant of Ouyang, It is really trivial. Coupled with that day's events, the impression left in front of the crowd was too deep, and in a moment, the visitors of Yanwang Mansion increased.
If it had been before, Ouyang Nuan would be patient even if she was impatient, but now she's all vertebrae, no matter who she is. Hongyu looked at the young lady today, it was really strange, but she felt much better than usual, and she did not say a word.
Of these visitors, there are always irresistibles, such as--
"Miss, Princess Chu and Yanran County Lord are here." Hong Yuzhen reported.
Princess Chu and the host of Yanran County are rare customers, but only at this time ... quite intriguing, Red Jade said: "Did you pretend that the lady is unwell ..."
Ouyang Nuan shook her head and said, "The princess is visiting in person. If I shirk away, I will not refuse to be a relative, but I will get revenge. You go and ask them to sit for a while, and I will be right away."
"Yes."
"Wait a minute, please invite Mrs. Dong Fei to accompany you!" Sun Rouning hasn't closed his door since the incident, but it's better not to ask this time.
Ouyang Nuan came to the flower hall, only to see the room full of pearly jewellery and silk satin. Princess Dong was talking with Princess Chu. Princess Chu was wearing a red brocade silk silk satin dress and earrings, a tendril wing, three tails, and a drop of green dumpling The tassel-shaped phoenix, the draped bead curtain gold on the forehead is exquisitely matched, although the appearance is not very outstanding, but it looks more and more dignified. When she saw Ouyang Nuan coming in, the girl next to Princess Zhou immediately stood up. She was petite and wearing a primrose-colored gold-colored embroidered sweater.
In all fairness, in the royal family, first there is the beautiful princess, the beautiful Rong County Lord, then the beautiful Zhou Zhoujun, the gentle and beautiful Lin Yuanxin, and even Zhu Ningbi, the appearance is better than the Yan Ran County Lord , Her face is cute and cute, if you want to say that it is touching ... it is a lot worse.
Yanran County's host came along, and Yingying bowed down, and said in a tender voice, "Yanran has met the Princess of Ming County."
Ouyang Nuan smiled, took her hand, and first saw the ceremony for Princess Chu, and then stuffed a embroidered bag for Yanran County Lord. The meeting ceremony was given, and the people sat down and talked.
Ouyang Nuan didn't have any objection to the royal people, but one or two of them forced the Yanran County Lord to Jieer, and she was not so comfortable.
Concubine Dong looked at Yan Ran, and she couldn't help laughing. "That year, when your mother-in-law came, she didn't have you yet. She had said that after she gave birth to her son, she desperately wanted an intimate girl. Turning to Princess Chu, "Now the landlord is so beautiful, I am so envious, Princess Chu is so blessed! I have no daughter's life!"
Princess Chu smiled: "Don't brag about her, this child, even if you look at it in weekdays, if you compare it with the beauty in Kyoto, there is no place for her! She, it's really only Falling in filial piety can also give me a little relief. "
Dong Fei laughed and said, "You are too modest. I see that the child is very quiet and has a very good temperament. The girl's house is not important next to her. However, the word dignified is the most rare, dignified and filial piety This is the blessing of heaven. "She said so casually, and everyone smiled at will, but all this sight fell on Ouyang Nuan.
Everyone knows that Princess Chu came to Ouyang Nuan today.
Sure enough, after speaking a few words, I heard Princess Chu laughed and said, "This child has no other hobbies. He just likes to play the piano. Because he has n’t played well for a month, he talked with the princess yesterday. She said This shows that the princess of the county is particularly good at harp, and the child is clamoring to come. I want to ask the princess of the county to give me some advice.
The head of Yanran County stared at Ouyang Nuan.
Ouyang Nuan was surprised for a moment, and then she was a little surprised. Is this what Princess Chu meant?
Seeing Yan Ran's eagerness to try, Princess Chu nodded her forehead with a smile, and said, "Don't be too proud, I have tried everything to invite you a good master this time. If she agrees, you can follow along and learn . "
Dong Fei laughed and said, "The princess said a lot, but Nuaner just knows a little bit. If Yan Ran likes it, come to her at any time."
Xiao Yanran smiled and thanked Princess Dong, and pulled Laoyang Nuan's hand again, and laughed: "Dong Fei's maidenship should be the answer, and the princess of the county should never quit again! Not only the piano, I'm thinking of you Splendid purses are so beautiful and beautiful that you have to learn from them! "
If Xiao Yanran is not from the royal family, he must be a very cute child. Just the bright eyes are like cute pets, the charm can not be stopped, Ouyang smiled warmly and nodded: "Yanran County The Lord need not be polite. "
"Do n’t call me the county master. I wanted to say it a long time ago, but my mother-in-law did n’t allow me to say that you are the aunt ’s daughter, my cousin, and then you marry my cousin, my cousin. So, this relationship is so complicated, I will call your sister later, just call me Yan Ran! "Xiao Yan Ran was naïve.
Princess Chu reluctantly supported her forehead and said, "Prince Mingjun, don't make fun of this silly girl in my family, she is this virtue, and you don't have any ladylike appearance at all."
After Ouyang Nuan stunned, I was a little skeptical. Is this lively Xiao Xiaoran in front of me? Is the Yanran County Lord who looks very regular on peace days the same person, or ... they have two faces in Xiao family? Do you change your face anytime, anywhere?
Dong Fei laughed and said, "This is innocent and cute."
She said she was innocent and cute, but such a girl must be well protected by her father and mother. Ouyang Nuan glanced helplessly, but her eyes were full of loving Princess Chu. I feel that if my biological mother is still there, she will be such a gentle and kind mother.
Seeing her daughter so happy, Princess Chu laughed a little bit.
Seeing Yan Ran staring at Ouyang Nuan, she smiled and said, "Let the children play together, I will accompany you to chat here."
Princess Chu nodded with a smile and said to Ouyang Nuan: "It really bothers you."
Ouyang Nuan didn't care much. She was reading a book and playing the piano in the room. There was one more ... 13-year-old girl followed, and there was nothing to hinder, not to mention, maybe she could put it in the child's mouth. With some words, her idea was certain, she immediately stood up and said, "The princess is polite, sister Yan Ran, come, I will show you around."
Said to be walking around, Ouyang Nuan only took the little girl in the garden twice, then led her to He Xintang, and when she entered the study room, Xiao Yanran immediately exclaimed: "Wow, Brother Zhonghua really I gave up all my study to you. I thought it was a misinformation? "
"Misinformation?" Ouyang Nuan suddenly felt suddenly.
"Don't you know, I've secretly played with my mother-in-law here, isn't it!"
Ouyang warmed for a while, the decorations here were not moving after marrying themselves, except for the embroidery frame under the window, everything else was original. She couldn't help but look at the entire study. The antique racks on the side were full of antiques. They were exquisite and concise, not overly ornate and elegant. There is a piece of Zhang ’s calligraphy hanging in the wall. The pen is magnificent and even, and the charm is very quaint. A row of bookshelves are bound by the neat and elegant ancient books. "Here, wasn't this the case?"
"Of course not. When I came here, there were only a few companions of golden teak wood. Apart from books or books, the famous swordsman blades hung on the wall. Look at the whole thing now!" Xiao Yanran hesitated Laugh, touch here and look there, and said in a weird way, "No wonder people say that Brother Chonghua loves his wife as life, it seems true!"
Ouyang Nuan couldn't help laughing when she heard the words
Love Your Wife
, although Xiao Zhonghua obviously changed the furnishings of this room, but she didn't necessarily show affection for her. Maybe it was just to show respect, maybe ... ...
After reading the study, Xiao Yanran reluctantly left. He fell on the large rosewood case and looked at the words written by Ouyang Nuan. Because she is very petite, she was even more cute when she was lying in front of a large case. She even happily took out a piece of rice paper and learned to apply the words of Ouyang Nuan.
Ouyang Nuan couldn't help crying and laughing. I wondered if the county owner was so bored that he ran here to write. Could it be that the palace of Chu had no pen and paper?
"Sister, if you are empty in the future, can I come here to learn how to learn piano and embroidery?" Xiao Yanran looked up with a smile, eyes bright.
Such an expression and tone made Ouyang Nuan involuntarily think of Ouyang Jue ’s pair of black eyes with reliance. She nodded subconsciously. As soon as she said yes, Xiao Yanran was immediately very excited. Non-stop, talking, pointing at the picture that Ouyang Nuan put on the desk: "Sister, I like you, and I'll tell you the truth. Is this picture too depression?"
Ouyang Nuan looked for a moment, and looked at the painting on the table. It turned out to be a summer night lotus pond he painted at will.
"Oh, how did Yan Ran say this?"
Xiao Yanran also felt that his words were abrupt, with a blush, he was anxious, and said, "I ... I have no meaning, I just thought that there is a moon, a lotus, and a pond in this painting, but it is not alive. Isn't it-is it lack of anger? "
Ouyang Nuan glanced. If so, she laughed: "Is it?" She lifted up her pen and handed it to Xiao Yanran, "then add it for me."
Xiao Yanran was happy, holding the paintbrush and pondering carefully, and then said: "There are no fish in the pond, no birds in the sky, and no dew on the lotus leaves. In this way ... plus a lot of lotus flowers, the buds are not released, and the flowers are full. The pool ... "
As she said, she took the pen seriously-putting what she said on the paper.
Ouyang Nuan looked at her, and somehow she felt very sorry. If such an innocent and lovely girl, she would have agreed to the marriage if she was not from the royal family. Xiao Yanran's character is not insolent at all, but she is very lively. Unfortunately, she has A too noble identity is prohibitive.
"Sister, tell you company, I've known you for a long time!"
"Oh?"
"My elder brother also liked you very much. He had eaten vinegar for a long time for this elder sister, but now he likes my elder sister more. The relationship between the two is so good! If you could marry my elder brother, in fact, It's also very good. Although my elder brother doesn't look good, but he is also very brave. "Xiao Yanran said without any precaution.
Both Ruby and Acorus were astonished.
Xiao Yanran's elder brother ... Ouyang Nuan's mind emerged from Xiao Wangshan, the son of Chu King who had seen him, the very dumb teenager, she smiled: "Yan Ran, you really know everything!" After that, she smiled Xiang Xiaoran said, "Yanran, shouldn't you go back."
Xiao Yanran immediately got up and pulled her sleeves, and begged with a look on her face: "Ah, I still want to ask you to embroider ..."
"Don't worry, if you like, you can come here at any time." Ouyang Nuan answered for granted.
Xiao Yanran closed a small mouth and blinked, "Let me wait a moment."
Will you stay a little longer? This is the meaning of drunkards. Ouyang Nuan looked at her and smiled: "Yan Ran has also passed the next year. Now I am anxious to ask embroidery work, is it embroidering the wedding dress?"
Xiao Yanran just felt that his face was hot, and he turned to leave, saying in his mouth: "My sister laughed at me ..."
Ouyang Nuan pulled her back and smiled: "Not to mention, we are serious ..." She looked at Xiao Yanran flushed, her eyes were misty, her long eyelashes flickered, and she became more and more delicate and could not help it. Reaching out her face and gently sighing, whispered: "Yan Ran, you know why your mother-in-law wants you to come here."
Xiao Yanran was so ashamed, she turned her head, but listened to her seriously, and did not have the slightest sense of ridicule in her voice. She couldn't help raising her eyes to look at her, but she saw that she was full-faced, even with Some compassion, eyes clear and dark, a faint glimmer, like looking at himself, but not like ...
Xiao Yanran could not help but hold her back. She pushed and pushed her, whispering: "Sister ..."
Ouyang Nuan looked at her and slowly thought that these royal girls were destined from birth. Xiao Yanran may not know that her father and king intend to marry her to her brother? This child is very clear and pure, and has no intention of climbing up to the upstart ...
Xiao Yanran looked at her expression, and suddenly felt a little uncomfortable. She bit her lower lip and wrinkled Ouyang's warm sleeves. Fang whispered: "I like Master Ouyang."
Ouyang warmed for a moment, and suddenly looked at Xiao Yanran in disbelief.
Xiao Yanran seemed to have gathered courage and said, "Sister, I like Ouyang Jue!"
Xiao Yanran paused, glanced at Ouyang Nuan, her face became redder and her voice became lower, saying: "Mother-in-law said that everything is with her. She asked me to ask my father, and she asked me not to tell Others say it's my idea ... "
Ouyang Nuan warmed a black line. "You are still a kid!" She dropped the black line in her head, held her heart in surprise, and smiled reluctantly, "How do you like him?"
Xiao Yanran's hands tightened again, blushing, Nuo Nuo said: "I ... I climbed down the back door wall of the King Chu's house that day, and as a result ... I accidentally fell on him right away ... It was he who saved It's me ... "She buried her head low and couldn't say any more.
Ouyang Nuan did not say a word for a long time, and finally glanced over the bead flower on Xiao Yanran's head, and fell on a bird by the window, and the bird made a gurgling sound and jumped on the window sill.
She heard this sentence just now, and once suspected that Xiao Yanran was withdrawing, she even thought that it might be that King Wang deliberately sent her to make up such a story, forcing her to complete the marriage of a pair of children.
However, she could clearly see that Xiao Yanran's hand was shaking.
The one holding her hand was really shaking.
Seeing more people's hearts, accustomed to ugliness, she was at a loss for such naivety for the first time.
It turns out, is it true ...
After sending Xiao Yanran away, Ouyang Nuan resigned to Dong Fei. After she came out, she remained very silent, and she couldn't read the book anymore, and she was very upset.
Hongyu glanced at her and carefully reported: "Miss, slave-inquired, Shi Zifei has been refusing to eat since she came back. Listening to the girl saying that she does n’t eat or drink water, it looks like she is trying to die ..."
Ouyang Nuan frowned, looking for death? So easy to find death, why did she come out of the palace at first? If it was really death-seeking, she wouldn't wait to return to Yan's Mansion, unless she knew what ...
"Will you go and see?"
"Since the news has come to me, it is natural to go." Ouyang said warmly.
Ouyang Nuan arrived at Antaiyuan. As soon as she stepped in, she saw her mother hurriedly go out. Ouyang Nuan asked: "Mother Liu, what's wrong with you?"
Mother Liu froze for a moment, watching Ouyang Nuan's unpredictable look, and finally deeply bowed down: "The princess of the county." Then she opened her mouth to say something, but did not say it.
"Forget it, I'll go in and see for myself." Ouyang Nuan realized something and said slowly.
Mother Liu followed Ouyang to warm herself up and curtained her.
Sun Rouning was lying pale on the beautician's couch next to the window, and the dark green silk was dragged on the white clothes, which made him feel a little bit more glamorous. Mother Huo stood in front of her, almost washing her face with tears.
"What's wrong?" Ouyang Nuan sank and asked coldly.
Mother Huo wiped her tears and whispered, "Shi Zi refused to eat, and slaves couldn't even feed them."
Sun Rouning seemed to be dead, with no movement at all. Ouyang Nuan looked at the scene, raised her eyebrows slightly, and patted her hand on the palm of her hand. The tassel on the fan's handle was tied with a delicate jade, and it rang, and the bells repeated: " Oh? Not willing to eat or drink? Is this a living impatience? "
As soon as Mom Huo heard it, she suddenly glared at Ouyang Nuan, but Ouyang Nuan finished speaking, but walked over quickly. Mom Huo was startled and quickly stopped in front. Ouyang Nuo slowed her pace and stared at the tea bowl in Huo Ma's hand. Instead, he narrowed his eyes and laughed. Reaching out, instead of pushing away Huo Huo, but lost the fan and took the tea bowl, "I'll come."
Mother Huo suddenly felt a little overwhelmed when she reacted, and immediately laughed and said, "Prince of the county, this is irrational, or slavery is good."
"Go away." Ouyang Nuan suddenly lowered her face, her eyes narrowed like frost, and she slid across Huo's face, creating a cold feeling.
What else should Mother Huo say, Ouyang Nuan said coldly, "I'm saving her, not harming her. If you want to stop, do you want to watch your master die like this?"
Mother Huo suddenly said nothing, and the girls next to each other looked at each other, wondering what to do.
"Except for Huo, let's go out." Ouyang said warmly.
The other girls listened to this and looked at Mother Huo. Mother Huo nodded for a long time and finally nodded heavily. Indeed, in the eyes of the public, the princess of the county will not harm the concubine of the world, but if she insists, she refutes that the concubine's face is small and the life of the concubine is large. All the girls retreated, and Ouyang Nuan left only two people, Hongyu and Acorus.
"Pour the water down." Ouyang Nuan handed the tea bowl to the calamus.
Mother Huo was startled, but was about to stop, but was separated by Ruby. "Mom Huo, Miss is for the sake of your concubine. If she does n’t eat or drink like this, she will be fatal to a certain extent At that time, King Yan and Princess Dong were shocked. She would die if she did not die. "
As soon as Ms. Huo was surprised, Calamus had already stepped up quickly, pinching Sun Rouning's jaw to open her, and holding a tea bowl of water to Sun Rouning's mouth. Sun Rouning was originally lethargic. Coughing, the water overflowed from the mouth.
Mother Huo rushed up and tried to stop but didn't dare.
"Mom Huo, the calamus is too thick, you can feed it yourself, calamus, you help." Ouyang Nuan's voice was a little low, but the tone was calm, inexplicably calming down.
Mother Huo had no choice but to nod, so Chang Pu held Sun Rouning's head, and then she carefully fed the tea.
"Fill it again," Ouyang Nuan ordered.
Sun Rouning had a violent cough, and she suddenly sobered up. When she saw Ouyang Nuan, her eyes suddenly burst into a strong hatred.
Ouyang Nuan didn't mind it, took the initiative to approach, sitting on the embroidered stool next to the beauty couch, and said to Mom Huo: "Well, here it is, I have something to say with your concubines."
Mother Huo glanced anxiously, then retreated aside with Aya Pu, but did not dare to go far, watching Ouyang Nuan with a very alert look.
Ouyang Nuan suddenly bowed his head and said in Sun Routing's ear: "Did you know what he gave Jin Wuwei to me?"
Sun Rouning's eyes staring at Ouyang Nuan were full of resentment, and the ruby ​​on the side was shivering.
Ouyang Nuan whispered softly: "When Grandma was in desperation, she never thought of death. She would rather endure ridicule and save herself. But today you ca n’t even open it, and even prepare to die. It seems that what you said is true, you live For a man. "
Sun Rouning stared deeply at her, and suddenly lowered her head, her voice sad like a dreary string of moonlight. "Without him, I would have no joy in the rest of my life." The resentment in her eyes had slowly faded at this moment, "As soon as you get married, you are loved by all kinds. How can you understand my pain? Xiao Chongjun is not a man at all. He can think of ten thousand and ten thousand ways to torture people, but I just started like everyone else. I thought he was just weak, and later discovered that he was simply a lunatic, a beast. "Speaking of this, Sun Rooning's eyes flashed a strong fear.
Ouyang Nuan listened quietly without saying a word. But Sun Rouning knew that the other party had listened to her, because Xu had not been drinking for a long time, her voice was weak and lonely. It drifted like a cool breeze, revealing deep self-harm. He Lantu is impossible, but I always look forward to it. I just want him to stay with me for a while, even if only for one day. But in Ning Guozhen that day, he said to me that you have seen His, if we go back and forth, it will definitely cause doubts from others. I won't be able to be alone at that time. From that day on, he won't see me, so everything is because of you. "
Ouyang Nuan was deeply shaken. Such a arrogant woman also had such deep helplessness and pain. She calmed down and said gently, "He just refuses to meet you again just to protect you."
Sun Rouning was slightly surprised, then relieved wryly, "I knew I wouldn't have a good end, but why is he so?"
Ouyang Nuan gently put his head to his head. "The other day in the palace, you got the news. The news was indeed delivered to me because I wanted the power in his hands. But I didn't threaten him. I was willing Still unwilling to rely on his own decision. But he still agreed, which shows that you are more important than anything in his heart, you say envy me, envy me, but I also envy you can get such a sincere person. You don't have to be sad, and you don't have to die for his choice. If you are really dead, he will be a fool. "
Sun Rouning was shocked, watching Ouyang Nuan speechless.
Ouyang Nuan smiled and said, "Person He Lan once said that you didn't intend to be against me at first, but the later actions are completely opposite, as if someone was behind them. In fact, who is behind them? I do n’t know. I only tell Dasao that if she is really good for Dasao, she will definitely not deliberately instigate you to fight with me for you to die. But she crows and fights, and the fisherman gains. Whether you die or I die, Left and right are just the end of both losses. Sister, you think about it. "
Sun Rouning was completely stunned, and after a moment he was startled, "You mean that person wants us to kill each other!"
"It's okay for Dasao to understand." Ouyang Nuan sighed, "I and He Lan are friends and enemies. It's not good for me to get out of your business. But the person behind must know about Dasao. However, she deliberately provoked in the meantime to make us invincible. Grandma, I admit that it is indeed I who framed you in the palace, but if I really want you to die, I can deceive the command of Jin Wuwei. Your Majesty executed you. By then He Lantu had no body. What he used to contend with me, but I did not do so, because I did not want to avenge you from beginning to end, even if you want my life three or four times. the same alsp……"
Sun Rouning listened, a slight distress appeared on his face, and said gently, "But you made me so embarrassed ..."
Ouyang Nuan smiled: "What a shame? What kind of thing is this? The princess has become the same, isn't she sitting and sitting on the table the same way? Maybe I might as well tell you that what I really thought was that I wanted you to lie away Yes, you can live and sleep with He Lan's son at that time, but unfortunately ... he refused. "
"What did you say ?!" Sun Rouning stopped completely. Ambivalent with He Lantu? This is something she never dreamed of dreaming. Why did He Lantu refuse?
"He Lan's son's life, you must know, he also has the right to inherit the throne, he said that he has no way to get out in this muddy water, even if you fake death, he can not take you out of the mouth so this plan, after all It can be done. "Ouyang Nuan's face seemed to sigh with regret, but it was true, she really did not think of Sun Runing's life. She voted for Magnolia and reported it to Qiong Yao. She owed He Lantu a life. This time, she returned it to him. Of course, Jin Wuwei persecuted her interest as Sun Rouning, and everyone didn't suffer.
Ouyang blinked and smiled. One more enemy is worse than one more friend. What's the use of Jin Wuwei's command is that He Lantu has to use it for himself. Sun Rouning was in his hands, and He Lantu had to be more honest ...
If Sun Rouning knew what the friendly brother and sister was thinking, she would have vomited three liters of blood. However, she naturally did not know it at the moment. After listening to Ouyang Nuan, the resentment in her heart was unknowingly lightened, and she had a little more. Guilt: "Ouyang Nuan, I don't mean to hurt you, I don't want you to die, and I don't want to see you lost, I just want him to be by my side all my life ..." She lowered her eyes, "I will never Hurt you. "
Ouyang Nuan calmly took a sip of tea and said, "Da'er, I won't mention these words, so take care of your body."
Sun Rouning stopped and sighed, "I just understand now, whether it's your hand to overthrow me, or my hand to overthrow you, the person behind is good and harmless."
Ouyang Nuan shook her head and said quietly, "Dao may not be thoughtful, but just have to take risks for the talents of the heart." She sighed lowly, "The heart of love will blind people, blindfolded, just want The most important thing is to protect your sweetheart. Now that the words have been completely spoken, it is also a good thing. He Lan's son has kindness to me, and I will naturally help you. If there is an opportunity in the future, you can live together forever, that is all joy. "
"Really?" Sun Rouning heard a big shock, as if she couldn't believe it. Her shoulders trembled a little. Obviously, the words "looking at the guard" really touched her. Her hands touched her heart. Settle your heart, "Ouyang Nuan, I just hope you don't forget what you say."
"Never." Ouyang Nuan's words were extremely light, but the words were affirmed and determined after careful consideration.
Having said that, Ouyang Nuan left after leaving, and when he came to the door, he suddenly heard Sun Rouning said, "You-beware of Princess Dong."
Ouyang Nuan jumped in his heart and paused, but didn't look back: "Thank you Auntie for reminding me."
Out of the Ankang Institute, Ouyang Nuan raised her eyes to the sky, thinking that the sun was too dazzling. She covered it with her hands and looked from the thin gauze sleeves. The sky was cloudy and hazy.
It seemed to be windy, she thought, her steps could not help speeding up a lot.
When Xiao Chonghua returned at night, Ouyang Nuan had fallen asleep. Xiao Chonghua shook her gently, and she opened her eyes stupidly, confused.
He had never disturbed her good sleep like this, and could not help frowning. "What's wrong?"
Xiao Chonghua smiled and handed a post.
"Not only invited you and me, but also the prince and prince." Xiao Chonghua said slowly.
Ouyang Nuan looked at it, but she was stunned. Lin Wenyuan's son is about to marry a bride and he is also setting up a feast.
