Chapter 118: Newlywed (3)
It's getting late. In the new house, the red candles are shining, the dark fragrance is floating, and there is a warm and charming atmosphere everywhere.
Gu Yunjin had already taken off the heavy phoenix crown, washed off the thick rouge on his face, and then wiped a layer of light makeup powder, and waited quietly in the room.
At this time, a maid came in to set up a banquet, and the banquet was very rich, and all kinds of dishes were put on the table like water. This is the custom of the Great Cheng Dynasty, and every couple has to share this meal, which is indispensable for sweet fruits and bitter dishes, which means that husband and wife should share weal and woe.
Gu Yunjin tossed from the morning to now, not a drop of water has entered, and her stomach is already empty, at this time, when she sees the deliciousness, she really wants to rush over to eat it, but unfortunately, she just thinks about it, all she can do is pray in her heart that Dai Jinchao will come back soon.
Just thinking about it, I suddenly heard the brisk voice of the maid outside: "The prince is back." ”
The pearl curtain was lifted, and Dai Jinchao, who was full of alcohol, walked in, followed by two grandmothers.
These two grandmothers came from the palace and were specially sent by the Empress Dowager Jiang to guide the ceremony, which fully showed the importance and favor of the Empress Dowager Jiang to the Nanling Palace, and made no secret of her unusual preference for Dai Jinchao.
Dai Jinchao sat down beside Gu Yunjin gently, didn't speak, and just looked at her quietly. Because of the wine, his face was slightly red, his eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of mist, and the stars were dotted, and tenderness and joy were hidden in it. Today, he is tightly overwhelmed by the happiness that he has never had and never dared to ask for, all the unhappiness is washed away, and there is only this person who tugs at his heartstrings in his eyes.
Gu Yunjin was uncomfortable by him, hurriedly looked up at him, and hurriedly lowered his eyelids, his face blushing slightly.
At the suggestion of the grandmother, the maid handed a glass of wine to each of them.
"After drinking a glass of wine, we will stay together forever."
As the voice sounded, the two held each other's arms, looked at each other, and slowly drank the wine in the glass.
"Tie a concentric knot and tie the knot for a long time."
Mama cut off a strand of hair from the two of them and tied them together, black hair like ink, white hair like snow.
After doing this, the two grandmothers said a bunch of auspicious blessings and withdrew. Several maids looked at each other, and they all retreated outside with smiles and waited.
Neither of the two people in the room spoke, it was quiet, but there was an element of restlessness in the air.
At this moment, Gu Yunjin's stomach suddenly growled, and she instinctively reached out to cover her stomach, her face embarrassed.
A hand was placed on her hand, and then he held it gently, "Let's go, let's go eat." ”
Gu Yunjin was stunned for a moment, then secretly stuck out his tongue, and happily led him into the table to eat.
For this meal, you should eat sweet fruits and bitter vegetables before you can eat other dishes.
Gu Yunjin had eaten a sweet fruit and was about to eat a bitter dish, but was stopped by Dai Jinchao, "This dish tastes very bitter, don't eat it." ”
"But this ......" Gu Yunjin was a little surprised, didn't the ancients pay the most attention to customs and rules? What's more, this is also said to be exquisite, and it is indispensable.
Dai Jinchao knew what she was going to say, interrupted her, smiled and said, "I know what these two dishes represent, but I want you to be sweet every day with me." ”
Hearing this, Gu Yunjin's heart was warm, and she also believed that he was sincere. But she hesitated for a moment, and then continued to pick up bitter dishes, "Life is a mixture of sweet, sour, bitter, spicy, salty, and stale, and I have to learn to bear the share that I should bear." ”
"If you must eat it, then I'll feed you." Dai Jinchao held her hand holding the vegetables, then took the silver chopsticks from her hand, picked up a bitter herb and sent it to her.
Gu Yunjin was a little inexplicable, looked at him in a daze, and hesitantly opened his mouth to pick it up.
Seeing that she was about to eat in her mouth, who knew that the silver chopsticks in Dai Jinchao's hand suddenly turned around, and he actually sent the dish into his mouth, and while she was stunned, he stuffed a sweet fruit in her mouth, and finally sandwiched a bitter vegetable and ate it herself. After doing this qiē, he returned the silver chopsticks to her and said with a smile: "Okay, our task is complete, and we can use rice." ”
This...... Okay? Gu Yunjin was so stunned that he even forgot to chew the sweet fruit in his mouth.
"Fool, aren't you hungry? Don't eat it yet. Dai Jinchao patted her cheek and reminded.
Gu Yunjin came back to his senses, swallowed the fruit in three or two times, and carefully confirmed again: "Then I really ate it?" ”
"Eat." Dai Jinchao looked at her cautious appearance, his heart was soft, and his eyes became more and more gentle and affectionate.
So, Gu Yunjin let go of his appetite and ate a lot, of course, because someone was in front of him, he still paid a little attention to his image.
And Dai Jinchao ate a few chopsticks, then put them down and watched her eat quietly.
Gu Yunjin saw it, and asked inarticulate while eating, "Aren't you hungry?" Why don't you eat it? ”
"I'll wait for you...... After eating...... Eat again. Dai Jinchao's eyes narrowed slightly, both in his eyes and in tone, it was a little ambiguous. Ambiguous, obviously meaningful.
Gu Yunjin is not a simple girl who has not experienced love, she vaguely guessed what he was referring to, and instantly blushed, not daring to look at him again, only lowering her head and picking up rice in her mouth.
Today's marriage, although it has brought her and him a lot closer, in her opinion, emotionally speaking, she and him have not yet reached the intimate process of sharing the joy of fish and water. She had no expectations for the next Zhou Gongli, but if he wanted to, she wouldn't seem to have no reason to refuse.
"I ...... I went to the water room. After eating a bowl of rice in silence, Gu Yunjin whispered, and left in a hurry without waiting for the person in front of him to say anything.
Dai Jinchao couldn't help laughing when he saw her fleeing away, and his eyes became more and more gentle and expectant. He picked up the silver chopsticks again and ate the rice, but the dishes were sandwiched one by one, and the rice was eaten one by one, which seemed to be savoring, but in fact it was completely consuming time and waiting. When he saw Gu Yunjin coming out of the water room, he ordered the maid to withdraw the banquet and enter the water room himself.
Gu Yunjin, who was dressed in a Luo robe, opened the big red brocade and prepared it. When I was on the bed, I saw a piece of white silk on it, my heart jumped suddenly, and I hurriedly put down the brocade quilt, took a deep breath, and then gently opened a corner and lay in, and then slowly moved my body until I was close to the innermost part and stopped.
When the sound of flowing water in the water room stopped, listening to the footsteps getting closer and closer, Gu Yunjin's heart beat faster and faster uncontrollably, she involuntarily tightened the brocade quilt, and her body was a little stiff.
The tall figure stopped outside the Red Luo tent and hesitated for a moment before gently opening the tent.
Dai Jinchao looked at the person on the bed with her eyes closed, and the candle flame shone on her face, becoming more and more delicate and moving. He sat down on the edge of the bed, leaned over and kissed her brow and eye gently, the kiss was so fine that he could clearly feel her body tremble.
"Yunjin, open your eyes and look at me." Some low, but very seductive voices rang in my ears.
Gu Yunjin hesitated for a moment, slowly opened his eyes, and found that the face was close in front of him, so close that his breath was almost smelly.
At this moment, there was a sudden commotion outside, mixed with the cry of a woman.
Dai Jinchao listened carefully, and heard that it was Xiao Ye, the maid beside Meng Wanqing, and his expression couldn't help but stagnate. (To be continued.) )
