Chapter 165, The Betrothal Banquet (2)
"Yi Xuan." Rong Yumei appeared behind Jin Yixuan at some point, and softly called out to her who was immersed in memories and sadness with tears on her face.
"Mom." Slowly coming back to her senses, Jin Yixuan snuggled in her mother's arms, but her tears were still uncontrollable, and her trembling voice was sad: "Mom, I don't want to marry~~"
Alas, stroking Jin Yixuan's thin and deformed cheeks, Rong Yumei sighed secretly in her heart, thinking that time could dissolve everything, and a marriage could make her daughter stand up again, but seeing Jin Yixuan's weight loss day by day, as a mother, she was distressed, but she was helpless. She really couldn't understand how the person named Di Cheng could have such a great charm, and after more than a month of protection, he could firmly hook his daughter who was above the top.
That is no longer the "good feeling" of the ignorant children of cardamom years, but the real "affection".
"Yixuan, Mom doesn't force you, Mom also hopes that you can be happy, but is Di Cheng worth your effort? You've been together for less than two months combined, can you really get to know him? Which point can he compare to Lin Yuebin, talent, conduct, appearance, family background, Lin Yuebin can be regarded as the best choice among the younger generation, what's wrong with marrying him? Rong Yumei was softly relieved, but it was just relief, the feelings in this world are the most difficult to figure out, otherwise there would be no "love at first sight" statement, and the generation of love is by no means consistent with family appearance.
Jin Yixuan didn't seem to hear her mother's relief, and continued to immerse herself in her own world: "Mom, do you remember, you once told me that in a person's life, there should be an experience of love and a sweetness of the heart." ”
Rong Yumei's smile was a little bitter: "There is nothing wrong with liking someone, the mistake is liking someone you shouldn't like." ”
"There is no should, I only know that during the time I was with him, although I was always angry, but my heart was very sweet, the days when I left him, every time I closed my eyes, my mind was full of the scenes of those days, and they were all like him. I don't know if it counts as love or not, but I really want to be with him, I really want to. ”
"Yes...... But he's ......"
"yes, he's gone." Jin Yixuan showed a poignant smile on her face, and said slowly: "There is a saying in the Book of Songs, called ...... Death and life are broad, and Zicheng said. Hold the hand of the son, and grow old with the son. Mom, is this sentence beautiful? ”
Her heart suddenly chuckled, and Rong Yumei panicked for no reason: "Yixuan, don't do stupid things." ”
"Mom, don't worry, I won't do anything stupid, no." Jin Yixuan muttered to herself, stupid thing? What is stupid, after the death of a lover, is it stupid to marry someone you don't love?
Rong Yumei picked up her daughter and wiped away her tears: "Don't think about it, it's over, tonight you are the bride, I'll put the clothes on the bed for you, change it, walk out happily, your Prince Charming is waiting outside, he will give you happiness." Mom never lied to you, and not this time, Lin Yuebin is a good boy, he will take care of you for a lifetime, and when you reach my age, you will understand what true love is. ”
Nodding slightly, Jin Yixuan looked at the white wedding dress on the bed. "Mom, you go out, I'll take a shower and put it on again."
"Okay, mom will come to pick you up later, you hurry up a little, those little girls are arguing outside to see the bride." Rong Yumei wanted to stay with her, but after thinking about it, it was better to let her be alone and quiet, so she simply helped her tidy up her things and walked out.
"Mom, my heart is very messy, can I ask you a question?" Just as Rong Yumei was about to open the door, Jin Yixuan, who was looking at the wedding dress, called her softly.
"Huh? Silly boy, I'm your mother, is there anything else you can't say? ”
"Isn't it fun to be with the person you like forever?"
"If two people love each other and can stay together for the rest of their lives, of course they will be happy."
"I see." As if suddenly unloading the burden, Jin Yixuan's face showed a relief that he hadn't seen for a long time. "Mom, I'm sorry to worry you all this time. After I'm gone, you have to take care of yourself. ”
The relaxed smile and apologetic words on her daughter's face made Rong Yumei breathe a sigh of relief, but she didn't understand the deeper meaning of Yixuan's words, and said with a smile: "Don't worry about me, as long as you come back from time to time, I'll be satisfied." It's you, when you get to your in-laws' house, you have to behave well, don't let your mother worry. Okay, you wash up and tidy up, and I'll pick you up later. ”
Looking at the closed door, Jin Yixuan's eyes were slightly dazed, and she whispered: "Dad, Mom, I'm sorry, my daughter is not filial, if there is an afterlife, I will serve you again." I don't want to get married, it's you who are bi me. I don't want to wronged myself, I don't want to be a victim of family interests, I don't want to be possessed by other men, and I don't want to suffer anymore. ”
Closing her eyes and sitting quietly for a while, Jin Yixuan got up and walked into the bathroom, her clothes fell off one by one, and the beauty of being too thin but still intoxicating loomed in the mist.
There are no more tears on the face, and the sweet smile that has never been there hangs on the cheeks, like a blooming lotus, and like a red plum in the snow, which is beautiful and touches the heart. Jin Yixuan washed her body over and over again, carefully, and tonight...... I am the bride, I am your bride, I am still pure, no man will touch it except you, and I will not let any other man touch it...... I'm going to marry you cleanly......
The noise outside became louder and louder, and the people who received the invitations came one after another, including many big people who were good friends with the Jin and Lin families, and their arrival made the engagement banquet more like a meeting of the top Chinese leaders, full of a little political color.
The younger generation expressed their congratulations to Lin Yuebin in turn, and there was no lack of envy and jealousy in his words, to be able to marry such a delicate bride, and to get the support of the Jin family and the Nangong family, whether it was in the aspect of "men" or in the aspect of "career", he was considered to have achieved great success, and his future prospects are limitless!
Nangong Huan'er took a few good friends, dancing back and forth in the crowd like butterflies, bringing bursts of laughter, although she was not very optimistic about Lin Yuebin, but since her sister agreed, and she also "took the initiative" to propose an engagement, she only had blessings and only happiness without scheming, although she was ...... She hadn't seen Jin Yixuan for half a year.
But everything in the outside world doesn't matter to Jin Yixuan, she is immersed in the happiness of being a bride, washes her body, combs her dress, puts on new clothes, sits in front of the mirror and carefully decorates herself, she wants to dress herself up beautifully and make herself the most beautiful bride.
Time passed minute by minute, and the atmosphere outside pushed Gao Chao again and again, and Nangong Huan'er, who was the bridesmaid, was already impatient, and kept running to Jin Xueliang to ask when it would officially start.
"It's almost time, it's time to ask the bride to come out." Looking at the time, Jin Xueliang breathed a sigh of relief and announced with a smile.
"Yue Bin, get ready, get ready to welcome your bride." Lin Guoxiong pulled his son to the red carpet in front of the house, Zhao Minghui and others laughed and coaxed in the back, and the focus of the audience gathered here at once.
"I'm going to call my sister!" The impatient Nangong Huan'er ran into the house with a smoke, and the hurried appearance provoked Nangong Shang who was present to shake his head and smile bitterly, and the old friends joked that the little girl should also get married.
"Sister! Sister! Nangong Huan'er ran to Jin Yixuan's door on the second floor and knocked on the door with a smile.
But......
After waiting for a while, the room showed no sign of opening.
"Sister? Is it inside? It's time, it's your turn. Nangong Huan'er thought that Jin Yixuan was shy, pursed her lips and laughed a few times, made an OK gesture to the people who were paying attention below, continued to shake the doorknob, and put her ear on the door.
The door was locked and there was no response.
With a strange pout, Nangong Huan'er was curious, and continued to knock on the door: "Sister, open the door, I'm Huan'er." ”
"Sister? Sister, are you there? ”
"Sister, I'm Phantom, open the door, I'm your bridesmaid tonight."
"Sister?"
"Sister?"
One call after another echoed on the second floor, gradually spreading to the hall on the first floor, to the courtyard outside the room, and to the waiting crowd.
What's wrong? The scene slowly fell silent, and people looked in strangely.
"Sister?" Nangong Huan'er's voice calling became higher and higher, the little hand that knocked on the door became harder and harder, and an inexplicable panic clouded his heart, and his petite body began to bang hard against the door. "Sister!! Sister!! Are you there? Sister!! ”
Jin Xueliang's face changed slightly, he confessed to his friends with a smile, and rushed to Jin Yixuan's room quickly without caring about the number of courtesies, knocking on the door. "Yixuan, are you there? When the time came, the groom was in a hurry. ”
"Sister, what's wrong with her? Is it inside? Nangong Huan'er was a little uneasy and worried about her little feet, and asked nervously.
"Yixuan?" Jin Xueliang frowned, and his ears were pressed against the door.
"What's going on?" Rong Yumei and the others also went up to the second floor, and Lin Yuebin, who noticed that something was not quite right, also shook off his father's hand and grabbed his hand, and quickly rushed up.
"Get out of the way!" Jin Xueliang pushed everyone away and slammed the door.
Bang!! The whole house trembled slightly, and the dull sound of crashing sounded like a drum in everyone's hearts, and at such a time, no one would have some bad thoughts in their hearts, and they poured in, and the guards had the intention to stop it, but which one of the people present was not a big man, and what qualifications did they have to stop it.
"Yi Xuan! Don't make a fuss, open the door! Jin Xueliang slammed the door hard, he was old, and the impact of such a strong force was a little unbearable, but the sudden anger and uneasiness in his heart overwhelmed all the pain, and he still shouted and banged hard.
"I'm coming!" Lin Yuebin also rushed up and slammed into the door with his arms slammed.
Bang! Bang!! Bang!!
Once, again, again!! The whole house continued to tremble, Lin Yuebin's impact became stronger and stronger, his face became more and more ugly, and just when the people behind couldn't help but want to bang on the door together, the door finally slammed open.
Lin Yuebin was not in a hurry, and staggered in.
"Yixuan (sister) ......" Jin Xueliang and the others hurriedly shouted and rushed in, but as soon as they took a step, the scene in front of them forced them to stay in place.
"Yixuan......" Rong Yumei screamed sharply, her heart twitched fiercely, her eyes turned black, and she fell to the ground heavily.
"Sister...... Sister ......" Nangong Huan'er's delicate pretty face turned pale, looking at the new bed covered with red flowers in a daze, the sister in her heart was lying quietly in a gorgeous wedding dress, but the weak wrist was dripping with poignant bright red, and the heavy smell of blood permeated the room, which seemed to tell the world her grief and reminiscence.
"Yi Xuan...... Is it for him......" Lin Yuebin was stunned for a moment, muddy tears rolled down his cheeks, and suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed, his laughter was desolate, like the cuckoo crying blood......
ps: Inner ...... The day after tomorrow erupted. If the brothers really support the mouse and like to laugh wildly, I hope to be able to come to see the genuine version in the waves, and each one is only a few cents, which can be regarded as a code word power for the mouse. Thanks, (*
