43. Candles in the cave room
Xiao Yu went to Liaojiataikou three days later, and according to the rules of ordinary marriage, he gave a bride price and handed over a Geng post, and the two sides were matched with eight characters, and the happy day was set ten days later.
Ten days later, on the 16th of September, the day was a simple day, leaving only the festival of worshipping heaven and earth - the high hall of heaven and earth, the emperor and the queen of heaven, and the gods and Buddhas of the heavens, all of which were paid between the three kneeling and nine knocking. The wedding ceremony seemed more like the end of a hard upbringing affair, and since then, they have stripped away from their respective high halls, gone their own way, and lived their own.
Liao Qiuli accompanied him to lunch and dinner, and went to Ju'er Hutong in the evening. Xiao Yu stayed with the last guest until he left, and chatted with the Liao brothers for a while, without saying any grandiose words, nor swearing to pat his chest, and lightly said his future plans, it was late, and the mother-in-law tactfully reminded the groom that it was a beautiful day in the cave room, and it was time to go back.
The boss and the third sent him outside the gate, and after saying goodbye, he turned around and wanted to leave, the boss suddenly struck out a palm, Xiao Yu and the third child were not on guard, the third child was so shocked that he almost screamed out, Xiao Yu was so mysterious that he could avoid it, and both of them couldn't understand what was wrong with the boss, why he suddenly made a killing move.
"Lao Wu has eaten all the sugar in his life in the past two years, remember to put away the sugar at home and don't let him eat it."
A close relative is a close relative, and when it's time to entrust it, don't forget to wave your fist and ask for justice.
"Got it, big brother!"
Xiao Yu got on the horse, and replied before beating the horse and leaving, the voice was not loud, just enough for the two brothers to hear.
Liao Qiuli never seemed to have thought about what his cave house flower candle would look like, he couldn't think of it, and he couldn't think of the "married wife" who was going to be with him for the rest of his life, he only felt that it might be very lively, like the eldest brother and the second brother, of course it was lively when he got married, and when he got married, the two sisters-in-law were also lively, and when it came to having children, the excitement at home was even more reasonable.
I never expected that there would be such a day, but it would be so quiet. He went back to Ju'er Hutong alone, where it was also arranged, there was also a high fever of red candles, a red tent was also hung, and there was also a pot of wine and two wine cups, waiting for the person to come and drink the wine. There were no groups of female dependents, no servants, and no one who even listened to the foot of the wall, and he was alone in the whole small courtyard. In the future, it should be the same, in the hundred-hectare peach orchard in the south of the Yangtze River, most of the people who are opposite each other day by day are that person.
Thinking about who came, the knocker outside the door was lightly touched, and Xiao Yu came back.
Liao Qiu was inexplicably frightened, indescribable, anyway, he was scared. It's not so much that he can't think of what the marriage looks like, but that he can't think of what the marriage of one party is Xiao Yu like. Somehow I got here, and somehow it became what it is now. He was still in a daze, but when he looked up, the fruit was already ripe.
Tonight, what night, meet this beloved.
"Passing by Manwen Building, buy a few steamed buns for you to eat." The second time the cave room is a candle, Xiao Yu's first sentence is really not clever, as long as he tastes it a little, he immediately knows that this person is nervous. Otherwise, why don't you say the wine on the table, don't say some sweet words that suit the occasion, but talk about the buns that can't be beaten with eight poles.
"No, I'm not hungry."
After this sentence, there was no word for a long time. Everyone saw the jug of wine on the table, but no one mentioned it.
Xiao Yu's hand crossed most of the table, caught Liao Qiuli's hand, turned it over slightly, and put something warm in the palm of his hand. It is a jade plate, a double flower and a pedicle, one of the two pieces bought in Anren.
"Tokens. I wear it at night, and you wear it during the day. Tonight is the first night, and you wear it first. ”
Xiao Yu doesn't smile often, he doesn't smile well, he is nervous, and he looks a little silly.
Maybe there will never be a more stupid newcomer in the world than this pair. Holding hands, blushing, and passing the shame of a thousand sails seems out of place, but who can say that this is not true?
"Drinking?" Liao Qiuli took his hand away with a red face, put the jade card away, poured two glasses of wine, one pushed over, and drank the other.
"Huh? How did I hear that this is not how to drink alcohol? ”
"Huh? Isn't it just a glass of wine per person? ”
"No, you should drink the wine from my hands, and I drink the wine from your hands. Otherwise, how can it be called a union? ”
“……”
"Come, then, your right hand will hook my left hand......"
"That's also drinking the wine in your own hands, why did you drink the wine in my hands and I drank the wine in your hands?"
“…… Otherwise, if you put your cup to my mouth, and I will do the same, will it not be done? ”
It's just a drink, why do you care so much?!
Xiao Yu stalked and asked Liao Qiuli to do it, but Liao Qiuli was afraid that he would be entangled, so he did everything.
After drinking and sitting stupidly for a moment, Xiao Yu coughed and said, "It's late at night...... Rest, right? ”
“……”
Perhaps it was the red candle and red tent bed red quilt that strengthened his courage, Liao Qiuli first stood up from the table, walked to the bedside, quickly did the most important action this night, and then hid in the futon. Xiao Yu sat at the table for a long time in torment, and when he was sure that he could make a gentle move, he blew out the red candle, lay on the bed, lay flat, and didn't dare to move for the time being, stiffly and stiffly across the edge of the outer bed, holding his breath, holding his hands and feet, and closing his eyes, he planned to stay up until dawn.
Until the inner bed stretched out a hand and pulled the thin futon on his body, he didn't see him leaning over, and pulled again, his mind was empty for a while, and somehow he sat up "suddenly", his movements were reckless, and his snort was heavy, dragging the person wrapped in the thin mattress, pulling left and right, and the black light blinded him couldn't see the person's inchless situation, it didn't matter, he didn't need his eyes, he used his hands and mouth to be more serious than his eyes.
It is best to maintain a certain concentration of love, not too deep and not too shallow, just right, just in line with the plain and long-term of "growing old with the child", and the two people in the middle of it are best to have the same affection, just enough to walk hand in hand through the destined lifespan. Don't be like Xiao Yu, the admiration is too strong, always thinking about monopoly, and finally got it, but he always feels that it is not enough, he always feels that it is still a little bit short, and he himself can't tell which point it is missing, that is, there is a big hole in his heart, and he can't fill it up. In fact, they already had a relationship/affair on Gao Chun's way back to the imperial capital, which was not a few, but often after that, he would be more greedy.
"What is your affection for me? And half of me? ”
Xiao Yu couldn't ask this kind of thing, and the reason why he couldn't talk about it was mostly because he felt that "Delong Wangshu" was too luxurious.
"Shang Wen ......"
In the dead of night, this "Shangwen" is like a big stone smashed into the surface of the lake without moving, Xiao Yu struggled to hold back the desire to come again, and worked to make the joy of fish and water confuse his brain, thinking about what this Shangwen was. Shangwen is his word. Except for Liao Qiuli, no one has ever called him that. In the past twenty years, no one has ever called him by this word, and he himself almost forgot that he still has a word, called "Shangwen". The child's naming right naturally belongs to his father, and he doesn't know how much effort his father put into choosing the word for him, but the meaning of this "word" really can't be simpler - his mother's name is Xiuwen, and this attachment continues to the next generation, so direct and explicit unrequited love, until he himself fell into the same situation, he finally understood a little bit of this extraordinary suffering.
Shang Wen ...... Shall we spend some more time in the Imperial Palace? I want to wait for the third brother to get married before going to Jiangnan......"
Liao Qiuli is equivalent to Liao Yungong's single-handedly brought up, more intimate than his father, and it is reasonable to want to see him get married and complete with his own eyes.
"Okay."
“…… I want to open up a small plot of land in my home in Jiangnan, plant a little sesame seeds, a little peanuts, well, and a little millet pepper......"
"You can sell it in these markets, so you don't need to grow it."
"You don't remember. Back then, you said that you wanted to eat the peanuts and sesame candy I made, I said that there were ones sold in Jinyang Building, and they were much better than me, and you said that you didn't just want me to make them, but also the sesame seeds and peanuts I planted, and if you couldn't get them, you would fake crying, so I had to agree. I promised to agree, but then you entered King Xiao's Mansion and joined the army, and you have never had the opportunity to cash in, and more than ten years have passed in a blink of an eye, and now you have a place and leisure, you can plant, even if it is to have fun. If you can really grow it, I'll make peanut sesame candy for you. ”
"I don't eat sweet, peanut sesame candy is not needed, it's really harvested, let's make it salty?"
"It's fine."
A small incident more than ten years ago, it is difficult for him to remember, and it is difficult for him to make a piece of peanut sesame candy for him after eating all the amount of sugar for his life. His heart, which was full of wind, was suddenly stuck to a small point by the candy that had not yet been seen. Sweet. Acid. Suddenly it wasn't so bitter.
On the third day after the wedding, the newlyweds returned to the door as usual. It is rare for the Liao family to throw away the "etiquette" and welcome this "new aunt" with a rather normal heart for the door. Of course, Xiao Yu returned to the court, it was impossible for the emperor not to reward him, and there were some miscellaneous titles in addition to the general king, such as the prince and the prince - not long after the emperor established the prince, a fart child who was less than eleven, an old man with a serious face, all day long with a serious shelf as an adult, a half-old adult and a half-small adult, fortunately, it was just a name, and there was no need to face it in the study, otherwise there was no need to take this lesson, staring at the big eyes, or simply not staring, one big and one small old monk sat in a fixed place, and he wanted to die!
And this fart boy prince is a sample of a bear child, he is old and old, and he is secretly bad, thinking about how to rectify the masters all day and night, and he can memorize the book well, and he will never want to follow the truth in the book. The princes are all hot potatoes, this is estimated to be the hottest, and they can't get rid of it, the emperor Chrysostom is a joke?
In this way, General Xiao's resplendent "General King" is the icing on the cake with an extra crown prince.
