Chapter 3: The Wonderful Bride
The night of the four droops rises like a light veil, and the occasional wind blows, stirring the melody of the wind chimes like clear water.
The Zheng brothers and sisters sat under the wooden corridor in front of the building, chatting all night.
"Okay, my hair is coiled, look at my craftsmanship, it should be no worse than Hua Nanhe's, right?"
Yu Xuanji put down the horn comb and exhaled lightly.
Gu Yunxi sat on a low stool and raised the bronze mirror, looked at himself inside, turned around and asked in some surprise:
"Brother, it's about to be settled, and other families are removing makeup, why are you still combing my hair for me?"
Yu Xuanji smiled silently, his five fingers were attached to the girl's smooth and soft cheeks, his eyes were warm, with a strong sense of care and reluctance:
"My brother has never done anything for you before, so let my brother comb your hair before you leave early tomorrow morning."
"What ......"
The girl was surprised, and her eyelashes were inciting: "Why are you leaving?" No, I'm not allowed! ”
She stubbornly pulled up Yu Xuanji's sleeves and begged coquettishly:
"Why did my brother leave all of a sudden? Didn't you say you wanted to see me marry the Overseer? My brother is gone, Xiao Ruo will miss you, Xiao Ruo is reluctant to you, Xiao Ruo still wants to hear you continue to tell the story of our father! ”
Yu Xuanji raised the corners of his lips, rubbed a hint of bitterness with a light smile, and held the girl's little hand and warmed it carefully:
"Brother can't bear you, go, that's what Hua Nan Xian means......"
"Brother Xian is also leaving?"
Gu Yunxi was in a hurry, jumped up directly from the stool, and his apricot eyes were burning:
"What did I do not do well to upset him?"
Yu Xuanji stood up, looked at her intently, and explained:
"It's not that you're bad, it's just because you're so good, so he knows that he shouldn't stay anymore and disturb you and Brother He."
Gu Yunxi was dumbfounded for a while, and raised his eyebrows sadly.
Yu Xuanji joined hands with her and carefully persuaded:
"Good sister, South China is obviously ruined to save you, only Xiangyu can eliminate solid marks, and now only the Dark Snow Lotus in the Northwest Pole is missing.
He was determined to find Jiang Huai'an to dispense medicine again, I wanted to accompany him, I had a companion on the road, and I could learn martial arts with him when I was bored. ”
"Brother......
Gu Yunxi suddenly felt sad, and the man's chest rested on the side of his head, and he choked:
"So, when will you be back?"
"Three or five years at most, and I will come back to see you when I have traveled through the mountains and rivers. I think by then, you and Brother He were already parents. ”
Yu Xuanji patted the girl in her arms, as if to cheer her up.
The moment he raised his head to look at the starry sky, his eyes were clear:
"In the past, each of us lived for others and for our mission, but now that the time has passed, it is time to enjoy our own lives.
Xiao Ruo, my brother has nothing else to ask for, the only wish is that you and Brother He can love each other and grow old together. ”
……
"What, you're leaving?"
In the guest room on the first floor of the attic, Leng Qingtang's phoenix eyes flashed with a confused light, staring at Gu Di's beaten facial features.
After laughing for a while, Gu Di felt a piercing pain tearing at his entire face, and grinned and muttered:
"Hey, that damn beautiful Taoist is really vicious......"
Turning around and taking the tungsten gold flute on the long case, Gu Di said:
"I just can't rest assured that you and Yunxi are here, so I stay here and wait for you two. Now that you're settled, there's no reason for me to stay. ”
The calm and deep gaze quietly swept over the man's concave left cheek, and Leng Qingtang knew the idea of his sudden decision to leave.
"Brother, I owe you ......"
His eyes softened, and he poured out a serious sentence to the man.
Gu Di smiled lightly, waved his hand and said:
"Brother, don't say such things. Come, look here......"
He held the flute horizontally in front of his eyes, held the end of the flute in one hand, and twisted it in reverse a few turns.
The flute is divided into two sections, and the hollow inner reveals another white and clear dragon head flute.
The condensed pupils looked fixedly at the dragon's head flute, and the light under the eyes was hot and indescribably painful.
Seeing this, Gu Di nodded and sighed:
"It seems, you remember it."
Leng Qingtang lowered his eyes, and his nose fluttered and he took a few deep breaths:
"Of course, this is our father's white jade flute. In the past few years in Xiyi, I often saw him playing the transverse flute facing the setting sun. ”
As if caught in the nostalgia of the past, Gu Di's voice continued in a dull voice:
"Ten years ago, before I returned to Dayi, my teacher gave it to me, and now I pass it on to you......"
"Brother......
"You don't have to excuse ......"
Gu Di looked directly at Leng Qingtang and said solemnly:
"You have paid more for your father, your mother, and the world than me. In the past, I was blinded by selfishness, but I had a grudge against my biological parents and brothers, but now I suddenly woke up and realized that I was not narrow-minded. This white jade flute, you are more qualified than me to have it, hold it! ”
After finishing speaking, Gu Di handed the flute closer to Leng Qingtang.
"Thank you, brother."
Leng Qingtang no longer shirked, and held the flute in the palm of his hand.
Gu Di thought of something, and his eyebrows were filled with sorrow:
"I have to say a few more words before leaving, even if you and Yunxi are on the border of Xiyi, you and Yunxi must be careful, I am really worried that the villain of Hua Nanxin will backtrack."
Leng Qingtang didn't argue with him about anything, only nodded and smiled:
"Brother, don't worry......"
——
The rooster dawns, and another round of the sun rises in the east.
The sky is clear, there is no wind and no clouds, and the sun inside and outside the mountains and forests is like sprinkling gold.
Early in the morning, the red carpet of the small attic at the foot of Pingshan Mountain is tiled, the lanterns are hung high, and the bedrooms and huts that are used to seeing each other are covered with cherry blossom red cloud brocade silk veils, and the whole attic is full of joyful decoration.
In the flower-filled courtyard, South China Ji Yan's unique loud voice spread:
"Hey, Yunxi, you've run here, Yunxi-"
Oh, this big day is about to go to church, but the bride is nowhere to be found, how is this good?
Unable to hear the response, South China Ji Yan was muttering with her waist crossed, and the smell of rice came from the corner gate.
When Ji Yan of South China heard this, her face was full of epiphany, she lifted the red brocade skirt of the hundred flowers and butterflies, and trotted all the way into the stove room.
It's steaming and boiling.
The chefs invited by Lu Qiange were very busy:
The kitchen knife chops to the cutting board, and the sound of "da-da" is neat; The dough is thrown on the wooden case, and the "ping-pong" vibrates vigorously and sonorously.
With a "bang", the vegetables were put into the oil pot, and the green smoke was billowing out of the tempting aroma of meat, and it rose into the air.
Ji Yan of South China had never seen so many people cooking together, and she was a little stunned.
The thin waist twisted and walked in slowly, and the inquiring eyes continued to search, and sure enough, he found the target on the innermost stove.
The unconscious girl was frying happily in the iron pot at the moment, and the heavy spoon in her hand was waving up and down the wall, reminding the left and right:
"Master Liu, that piece of rock chicken breast must be cut with a flower knife...... Master Haida, it's almost time to start the steamer. ”
The sunlight shines through the window arch, casting a thread on her graceful and graceful body.
On the soft and soft satin of the wedding dress, the pattern of pomegranate flowers and birds with more than ten colors of silk threads such as red, pink, Hunan yellow, goose yellow, lake blue, azure, light red, deep purple, dark gray, and light silver is woven out of the pattern of pomegranate flowers and birds, which is shining under the sun, and the color changes and is blurred.
This bride is really different!
At the time of the wedding, I didn't stay honestly in the wedding room, but had to go to the room to be busy, which was really angry and funny.
Walking over with a frown in the face of the pungent fume, South China Ji Yan helplessly grabbed the bride and complained:
"I said Yunxi, I'm about to visit the church, why did you come here. The oil smoke here is so big, and it carefully stains the wedding dress. You're going to do it for her... Yunxi, you go with me. ”
Raising his finger to a cook, South China Ji Yan turned around and dragged Gu Yunxi out of the hot stove.
In the courtyard, South China Ji Yan stroked the colorful tassel shawl for Gu Yunxi, and smoothed the long tassel of the red coral rice beads on the red coral rice beads on the golden crown of the Nine Treasures of Qibao Dongzhu Youfeng, pouting and complaining:
"You, you're about to get married, how can you do things like this?"
Gu Yunxi smiled, grabbed South China Ji Yan's sleeve, and swayed flatteringly:
"When I went into the stove, I saw that the cooks were a little too busy, so I helped out. Besides, the Overseer loves to eat my Hibiscus Drunken Chicken, and I'm worried that if I don't get it, they won't be able to make it taste like the Overseer......"
"Oh, okay, it's not early, come with me into the building."
Pushing the door in, the huge living room layout has a new look.
And the acacia passionflower pattern curtain is overlapped, like a red glow cluster of flowers.
The vase, the furnace and the screen are all furnishings in pairs, and the word "happy" is pasted on it.
On the window lattice, there are more red paper-cuts of dragons and phoenixes, eight immortals crossing the sea, peony, pine, bamboo and plum, mandarin duck and wild goose, which is particularly festive and lively.
Leng Qingtang was already waiting in front of the hall, and Lu Qiange and the bride were companions on both sides.
Today, he is wearing a red groom robe, the front chest and back of the beads are embroidered with double happiness and eight dark patterns, the collar and cuffs are wearing gold thread Luanyun patterns, and the hem of the robe has exquisite Yunshui Xiaoxiang patterns.
At the moment when he met Gu Yunxi's eyes, he was amazed by her light blue makeup.
The young girl was originally beautiful, with a wedding dress and a luxurious phoenix crown, which was very glamorous and moving.
Seeing her approaching with a gentle demeanor, the beads of stars on her sideburns flickered with each step, and the shallow brilliance shone and flowed, infinitely eye-catching.
Fang Guanyu's face was slightly flushed against the backdrop of the aggressive satin. A pair of handsome eyes were soft, and they saw the depths of the girl's heart in just one moment.
Gu Yunxi's heart immediately trembled slightly, and he slowly lowered his head with a shy smile, shyly staring at the delicate nine-colored sea waves and cloud patterns, and swayed to her approach.
She was held up by her big warm hand and pressed against her broad chest. In his ears, the man's dull and trembling voice carried a trace of irrepressible emotion:
"Yunxi, raise your head, today is a day of great joy for you and me."
Gu Yunxi obediently did so, slowly looked up at her husband, and smiled slightly.
The firecrackers in the courtyard rang off one after another, time passed bit by bit, and the wine and food were served one after another, but no one came to congratulate them.
Because it was a low-key escapism, Leng Qingtang and Gu Yunxi didn't want to organize the wedding with great fanfare, and only set up a two-table banquet for six people.
But now it seems that there are only five of them, plus Xi Po, Lu Qiange and South China Ji Yan, and they can't sit at a table at all.
The quiet scene made Xi Po's face embarrassed, and South China Ji Yan was also a little breathless, and after scanning the empty seats, she dragged Lu Qiange aside and reprimanded in a low voice:
"What's going on! Didn't you say that the mother would bring someone over? ”
Lu Qiange was so anxious that he was sweating at this time:
"I think the mother won't break her promise, but, but the auspicious time is coming, and there is not even a master of ceremonies right now, how should this be?"
Gu Yunxi stood at the table at a loss, confused and aggrieved looking at the gradually cold food on the table.
My heart escaped into a bleak heart, but I didn't expect that the most important day of my life would encounter a cold scene.
Her frowning and melancholy little appearance made Leng Qingtang feel distressed, and she blamed herself:
"Girl, I'm really sorry, it's me who is not ......"
"It's okay......"
Gu Yunxi cheered up, raised his head and squeezed out a shallow smile:
"I'm going to call the chefs over, and we'll be all together and it's the same."
Her requirements are not high, she has experienced too many ups and downs in the past, and she knows better than anyone how precious the time she spends with the man she loves.
How can you blame the Overseer?
As long as she is with him and no longer separated, it doesn't matter in what form.
Her generosity, her understanding and her smile instantly moved him beyond words, and as soon as his eyes were hot, he encircled her in his arms and hugged her hard, as if he was afraid of losing it.
There was a lot of noise in the courtyard, and there was a loud laughter coming in:
"Hahaha, Ninth Brother and Yunxi, are you in a hurry? Let's see who Hongu is bringing here! ”
