Chapter 28: Don't Say "Long Time No See"
I went home on the eighth day of April. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The family is nervously preparing some food for the wedding banquet, dumplings should be wrapped in advance, glutinous rice balls should be kneaded in advance, and fried fruits should also be prepared with cooked glutinous rice dumplings.
Liangyuan's parents and several other relatives have been brought to the house, and the third brother accompanies him from morning to night.
Although I can't stay with Liangyuan and the third brother as often as before, I can still feel that both of them have matured a lot in the short contact. Maybe marriage is really a growth for a person, and they seem to have become much calmer.
My father and mother arranged for me and a few other older aunts to accompany me at that time, and I happily complied. I remember that when I married Lan Sheng, the people who accompanied me were some people I didn't know, and I was still a little nervous in my heart, and I didn't dare to talk more. Now it's my turn to accompany Liangyuan, and I can talk to her when the time comes.
On the tenth day of the new year, everyone in the family got up early, and the housekeeper took the manservant to hang up the joy that had been prepared, and pasted the red paper-cuts on the window. Tables and chairs are set up in the roll shed and hall, and the male guests are arranged in the roll shed and the female guests are arranged in the hall.
At that time, the guests entered the house one after another. Daddy, eldest brother and third brother greet male guests, and Auntie and I greet female guests together. The suona that plays joy has not stopped since the guests entered the house, coupled with the sound of congratulations and laughter, the front yard and the middle courtyard of the Zhu Mansion are really noisy.
The third brother in the red wedding dress showed a shy smile on his face, but his actions to greet the guests were very calm and easy-going. Liangyuan hasn't seen it yet, so I guess I'll have to wait until I'm in the room to see it.
At noon, the wedding feast begins and the guests take their seats. My mother and I greeted the guests for a while, and then went to the side room to rest. The maid brought food, and my aunt and I ate some.
After standing all morning, A-Niang's back was a little sore, and she lay down after eating, saying that she wanted to take a nap.
Although my legs were a little sore, I was in good spirits and sat on the sidelines.
In the afternoon, however, I became sleepy and yawned several times in quick succession. Originally, I thought of going to the couch to squint for a while, but I thought that it was me and A-Niang who took care of the female guests, and now A-Niang is still asleep, if I also sleep, in case something happens, the maids and servants will not find someone to take care of it.
I asked Yueying to make a pot of strong tea, and after drinking a few cups, I still couldn't get rid of my sleep.
Yueying suggested: "The begonia flowers in the garden are blooming, Zhu Niang might as well go to the garden for a walk, and after walking, maybe she won't be sleepy." ”
I put my hands on the table, palms in my hands, and let out a "hmm".
The air in the garden is fresh, and going around may make people feel refreshed. The wedding banquet is not over yet, there are still a lot of things, A-Niang is old, I have to cheer up and help A-Niang take care of it.
After greeting the other maids and explaining their whereabouts, Yueying and I went to the garden slowly.
The garden is lush with trees and verdant greenery, which makes people feel a lot more refreshed at first sight.
There is a hexagonal pavilion in the northeast corner of the garden, and several begonia trees are planted next to the pavilion. The red buds are tightly gathered, and a few of them are like a beauty who has just woken up, and the petals that are slightly open are like the sleepy eyes of a beauty.
Bright reds are scattered among the turquoise leaves, the red ones are redder, and the green ones are greener, complementing each other.
Xu was just drinking a few cups of strong tea, and after walking for a while, he felt very hungry in his stomach, and his hunger made people panic.
I had to ask Yueying to go to the kitchen to get some snacks.
Yue Ying thought for a while, smiled and said, "I'll bring another pot of tea, just eat snacks may have a dry mouth." ”
"Let's make a little lighter tea." I admonished.
"Got it." Yueying smiled and turned to leave.
I looked at the begonia flowers one by one, and when I saw that the buds were exquisite, I couldn't help but hold them up with my hands and look at them carefully.
After reading the begonia, I felt that I was really hungry, so I wanted to go to the hexagonal pavilion next to it to sit and conserve my strength.
The tall acacia trees next to the pavilion are full of leaves, a gust of wind blows, and the blue waves are rolling. It's only April now, and the acacia flowers have not yet bloomed, and if the flowers are in full bloom, then the undulating canopy is a red glow.
I pursed my lips and smiled, my gaze sliding to the ground.
Coldly, a figure suddenly broke into his sight.
In the northeast corner of the garden, a man in a sapphire blue shirt with a white jade tied around his waist came in.
Because it happened suddenly, I was stunned.
When they met each other, my surprise was even greater.
The person who came turned out to be Liang Gongzi! I never thought I'd meet him in my own garden.
His reaction was as if he had known I was here, and walked straight towards me, the smile on his face was as kind as ever, and there was a taste of reunion after a long absence.
yes, we haven't seen each other for more than half a year. This is indeed a reunion after a long absence.
I burst out into a smile and said, "Liang Gongzi." ”
He seemed to have a very measured grasp of the distance, walked to a place three steps away from me and stood still, this distance is not far or close, and then said, "Zhu Niangzi." ”
Yes, don't say "long time no see". I was happy to see it, and I didn't regret not seeing it. He and I are suitable for such an ordinary relationship.
Coincidentally, we walked into the pavilion together.
"Why didn't Liang Gongzi eat the wedding wine on the table?" I asked.
At this time, the wedding banquet should be lively, why didn't he come to the garden alone? And, how could he get into the garden?
He pursed his lips and smiled, and said, "The third prince brought me here." There were a lot of people at the banquet, and I felt a little bored, so I wanted to come out and go around. ”
Oh, no wonder. I think the reason why he came to the third brother's wedding banquet was also invited by the third brother. He is the matchmaker of the third brother and Liangyuan.
Thinking of this, I smiled and said, "The marriage I wish for is thanks to Liang Gongzi's guidance!" If it weren't for you, I'm afraid the two of them wouldn't be so fast. ”
Liang Gongzi smiled heartily and said, "Where?" The third prince and cousin Ling are both affectionate, if not, then no matter how much I point, it will be in vain, this is actually their own creation. After a pause, he added: "I am also very relieved to see that they are complete." ”
I smiled and said, "Liang Gongzi is a man of temperament, and he will definitely be able to seek perfection in the future." ”
Hearing this, he raised his eyes and glanced at me, and after a while, he said lightly: "I hope ......"
He and Zhuo Xianxian are childhood sweethearts, how can such a thing be a "wish"?
I was a little surprised, and couldn't help but say, "Zhuo Niangzi, has she returned to Tanzhou?" ”
He didn't answer me, looked around, and asked, "Are you alone in the garden?" ”
"Well," I was stunned, and said, "I asked the maid to go to the kitchen to get some snacks, but she hasn't come yet." He added: "I just drank strong tea, and all the oil and water in my stomach melted away." ”
He looked at me and said, "It's hard work to run a wedding feast. ”
I smiled faintly, and suddenly felt that such a bland sentence was very heartfelt.
