Chapter 6 Marrying a Daughter-in-law for the New Year

As soon as the red wedding dress embroidered with cross-necked mandarin ducks came into view, Yue Xi's mind suddenly reflected such a picture: in a fiery red, the thin and petite bride sat on a huge wedding bed with a dragon and phoenix Xipa on her head, with a hundred child tents hanging on it, and a hundred children under her body, she was full of joy and anxiety waiting for the arrival of her husband......

However, this wait is six years, and people's hearts are cold......

Now that it's finally over, she no longer has to endlessly consume her life for such a man.

"Doesn't look good?" Seeing Yue Xi sitting cross-legged on the edge of the kang, staring intently at the wedding dress for a long time, still not saying a word, Cheng Rongjin stretched out his hand and pushed her and asked in a low voice.

"It's pretty!" Yue Xi came back to his senses, his face did not change, and he said without a beat: "Didn't you look at me stunned, look at how beautiful these two mandarin ducks are, they are more beautiful than the real thing!" ”

"I'm relieved when you say that." Jinniang pursed her lips and smiled, folded the wedding dress spread on the kang again, wrapped it in a furoshi, and then asked in a low voice: "I heard that Duke Gao said that the happy event of Lan Lan and Imperial Doctor Su is set for the Chinese New Year's Eve?" ”

The name has become a habit for many years, and even if it is out of the palace, it is difficult to change it for a while.

These people occasionally show a flaw or two when they speak, which is why Yue Xi doesn't dare to take them directly to a crowded place, and if they don't get it right, they will expose everyone's identities because of one sentence.

"Oops, look at me, I can't remember!" As soon as she said that, Jin Niang also felt that something was wrong, and without waiting for Yue Xi to remind her, she covered her mouth and laughed: "We live here now, although we are still on the mountain, we can go out of the palace, our sisters are very happy, I just feel that I am comfortable even panting, and I don't care about anything when I speak, I always think that there are no outsiders here!" ”

Yue Xi stretched out his finger and pointed at her, and then said, "You have to pay attention to it in the future!" ”

"We can't live forever, we have to live where there are people. Aren't all adults living in such isolation a wild man? ”

"Savages are also human!" Jin Niang took the burden wrapped in the wedding dress in her arms and walked towards the door of the house: "It's a hundred times better than living that ghost life in the palace!" ”

The door of the house opened, and before Jin Niang went out, Jiang Lan's voice came in from outside: "Didn't you say that Yuexi took a nap?" ”

"Awake." Jin Niang smiled and was about to go out, but was pushed back by Jiang Lan: "Don't go, I just wanted to ask her how we spent this year." ”

"How's it going? It's not to make a few good dishes and dumplings, is it possible that Lan Lan has other good ways? ”

The two women blocked the door to talk, Yue Xi only felt the cold wind swishing, and she hurriedly climbed back to the quilt and covered herself tightly.

"That's right, but who's in charge this year? Don't look at us people and cats on the mountains, but we have so many delicious things at home, we want fish, fish, meat, and meat, and there is no shortage of rice and flour, but don't everyone have that good craft. ”

As she spoke, her eyes had already been staring at Yue Xi flatteringly, and her meaning was self-evident, just waiting for her to speak.

"This year we celebrate the New Year together......"

Ying Su's words suddenly popped up in his mind, and Yue Xi lost his mind again: It's been two lives, the two of them really have no fate, let alone become husband and wife, it's so difficult to spend the New Year together.

"Are you in the mood?" Yue Xi tilted his head and looked at the two women standing at the door, Jiang Lan and Jin Niang immediately nodded at the same time: "It's not interesting to be lively and lively during the New Year!" ”

"Done!" Seeing that he really couldn't sleep, Yue Xi simply got up and put on his boots: "Let's go, twenty-seven, right?" Let's go and get ready, I'll take the spoon, and you two will help me. ”

Living in this mountain col, in addition to eating and sleeping every day, she was a little blurred about the years in a trance, and she couldn't even figure out what day it was.

I vaguely feel that it's almost time for the New Year.

"It's twenty-eight, and yesterday was the twenty-seventh of the lunar month." Seeing that she responded, Jiang Lan and Jin Niang were happy, and everyone in the palace knew that the queen's cooking was delicious, but Yuexi was lazy and didn't like to go into the kitchen, and everyone didn't dare to beg her. Now that she has been back from the mountain for more than ten days, and she has rested for a long time, Jiang Lan was instigated by those concubines before she dared to come over and speak.

Since calling the imperial capital, this is the first time that these people have spent the Spring Festival outside the palace, and everyone has a feeling of being reincarnated.

This kind of happiness is something that those who live an ordinary life every day cannot understand.

Yue Xi understands them, so she is even more reluctant to sweep everyone's interest, anyway, as soon as she calms down, Ying Su will come out of the corner without falling into a loophole, and the person Yue Xi doesn't want to think of now is him, so he simply went into the kitchen to cook, coaxing several women to smile.

If you don't feel comfortable, you can't let everyone in the family follow suit......

"Boss." Gawain carried a large bundle of small branches that had just been cut down into the kitchen, bent down and piled them on the edge of the stove, and nodded to the women in the house, before he continued: "Just now I was cutting down trees on the mountain, and I saw that there were footprints left by living creatures in the forest behind me, everyone should be careful, and don't go out of the yard if you have nothing to do." ”

Although the house they live in now looks rough, it is fortunate that the foundation was deep when the house was first built, and the material used is stone, so it is quite strong. In order to avoid the surprise attack of wild beasts, the stone courtyard walls around it are also quite high, and the reason why Yue Xi fell in love with this house at a glance was precisely because of its safety and concealment.

"Do you hear that?" Bang Bang hard, who had half a fan of pork jelly on the table, picked up the kitchen knife and slashed at it, the blade was embedded in the bone crack and was stuck. She let go, feeling like she had to re-transform before she could change the knife.

"I'll talk to them for a while, and I'll be active in the yard during the day, and try not to go out of the house at night. Uncle Gao, we have enough firewood and charcoal, so don't go out. In winter, there is little food, and the beasts that come out to forage are stronger than usual, and the snow is so thick that the ground is frozen.

The snow is thick, the ground is frozen, and we can't even dig a few traps to prevent it, so let's be careful, don't just get out of the wolf's den and into the tiger's mouth. ”

"Yes." Gawain nodded in response: "Today I cut down another tree, and it is enough to open a few boards to make a few benches, but I am happy, this kid has been getting more and more skinny recently, and he often runs out!" ”

"I'll talk about him in a moment." Yue Xi picked up the cloth and wiped his hands, glanced at everyone in the room, and said softly: "There are still many things to do on the thirtieth day, everyone should be busy with something, don't delay." ”

"Master, don't worry, don't look at our few people, we can do it as lively and decent!" Kasumi covered her mouth and smiled.

"What else is there to do?" Jiang Lan was cutting the roots of mushrooms one by one with a pair of scissors, and she didn't raise her eyelids: "None of us cook as delicious as Yuexi's cooking, if you say it's okay to start, I don't know what I can do to help you." ”

"You're busy on the thirtieth day, I don't need you here." Yue Xi replied with a smile.

"What do I have to do...... Jiang Lan raised her head, and seeing that everyone in the room was snickering at her 'ill intentions', she couldn't help but be suspicious, and asked in a low voice, "Aren't you hiding something from me?" ”

"yes, there's something to hide from you." Yue Xi turned around and pulled out the knife chopping on the pork: "Guess, guess, I'll sue you ......."

"Phew! I've guessed it, do you still need to say it! Jiang Lan picked up a mushroom from the basket and threw it at Yue Xi.

"I don't need to say it, I won't talk about it......" Yue Xi copied it behind his back with his backhand and took the mushroom in his hand.

……

Several women talked and laughed for two days, and Yue Xi took them to steam steamed buns and make sauce meat...... Everyone stayed in the kitchen, and they only felt happy when they worked with their hands and feet, and in a blink of an eye, it was the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve.

After lunch, Yue Xi stopped Su Jinyan, who was about to go out.

Jiang Lan had already gotten up and left the dinner table, but when she heard Yue Xi's words, she stopped.

"Jinjin ......"

Yue Xi glanced at Cheng Rongjin, and several women rushed up and dragged Jiang Lan out: "What is this for......

Jiang Lan's frightened screams came from outside the kitchen door.

"Master?" Su Jinyan walked quickly to the door and glanced out uneasily, then looked at Yue Xi in confusion and asked, "This is ......?"

"Let's escape from the palace, it's safe for the time being." Yue Xi pointed to the stool opposite the dining table and motioned for him to sit down, while he lowered his head and looked at a bowl of black medicinal soup with a sad face and said, "Do you have any plans in the future?" ”

"Intended?" Su Jinyan glanced out of the door again, wondering if a few women should throw Jiang Lan out of the yard to feed the wolf before he walked to the table and sat down: "Don't hide it from the master, a few years ago, I was looking forward to being able to ...... with Lan Lan The concubine is ...... Miss Jiang......"

He changed his name a few times in a row, and seemed to feel that it was wrong, and stopped halfway through his words, Su Jinyan sighed: "I'm useless, I'm sorry for their mothers......"

Yue Xi finally made up his mind, picked up the medicine bowl and drank it all, and drank half a bowl of white water without breathing to suppress the thick bitter taste in his mouth.

Throwing the porcelain bowl on the table casually, she said with a nose and a face: "Hurry up and stop!" Keep all these words for your mother, no one here likes to hear you say that! ”

"......" Su Jinyan raised his head, looked at her, and then looked at Gao Wen, who was sitting on the side of the dining table as silent as the old monk, opened his mouth, and stopped talking.

"I can't see you like a bear!" Yue Xi stretched out his hand and scratched his head, and said with hatred: "Veterinarian, in addition to being ashamed of Jiang Lan's mother and son, you never thought that Ming Media was marrying someone else, so hurry up and give their mother and son a name?" ”

"I thought about it!" Hearing this, Su Jinyan stood up and said loudly, Yue Xi smiled when he heard it. Who knew that I immediately heard him whisper again: "I don't dare to ...... with me"

"In the palace, she is the concubine, I ......"

Yue Xi stretched out her hand to stop what he was about to say, she stood up with her support on the table, leaned over and said, "Is this the Imperial Palace?" ”

"It's not." Su Jinyan shook his head.

"Then is there a concubine here?"

"Nope."

"Then I don't understand, what are you waiting for?" Yue Xi clapped his hands on the table and asked menacingly.

Su Jinyan was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes lit up: "Master, do you mean that I can marry Lan Lan?" ”

Yue Xi looked up at the sky, slowly walked to his side, and said expressionlessly: "I don't want to pull it down!" ”

"Yes! I do! I've thought for so many years that even if I can't live with them, I'll die together......"

"Phew! Don't say such unlucky things on a good day! Yue Xi pulled him to the door of the kitchen, stretched out his hand and pushed the door open to the outer nunu: "Look." ”

In the silver-white ice and snow outside the door, a pair of big red double happiness words at the door of the room where Su Jinyan lived were particularly eye-catching!

"Master?" Su Jinyan rubbed his hands and turned his head to look at Yue Xi in disbelief.

"Look at me." Yue Xi stepped out of the room: "There is your big media sitting in the house, if you want to thank him, thank Gao Bo." ”

"Yes, yes!" The joy came too suddenly, Su Jinyan was a little at a loss, he turned around and saluted to the father-in-law Gao who was sitting firmly at the dinner table, and the old man who had not spoken suddenly opened his mouth: "It's not easy for the two of you, your family can come together now, and I'm happy to see it." But you have to know who helped you, and you can't forget that we are in charge! ”

"I made a note of it!" Su Jinyan nodded solemnly.

On the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, bursts of laughter were heard from time to time in a stone house deep in Huagai Mountain, Su Jinyan married his daughter-in-law and celebrated the New Year, and the matchmaker had all six certificates, and married Jiang Lan as he wished in the blessing of everyone.

The candle in the cave room, he lifted the joy pegga on the bride's head, and the husband and wife hugged each other and cried with joy until the second half of the night......

Yue Xi, who led a few idle women to hide outside the door and eavesdrop, was frozen half to death, and finally had to return in disappointment: "What a thing! I'm almost freezing, so they let us listen to this?! ”

……

"Liar! Yuexi, you big liar! ”

In the Chu Mansion in the west of the imperial capital, a thin figure crouched on the cold bed, Ying Su covered himself in the quilt, and the sound of firecrackers everywhere came and went, as if the air was filled with joy.

At this moment, he only felt lonely: "Didn't you say that you would celebrate the Spring Festival together, I came, but where are you......"
