Chapter 47: The Night of Candles in the Cave Room

The welcoming team finally arrived at King Hu's mansion, in front of the mansion.

In the frolic of onlookers, the sedan chair was dropped. Hu Xiu also turned over and got off the high-headed horse, walked straight to the edge of the sedan chair, took Shi Ling'er's hand, and followed her girl into the prince's mansion.

People gathered in front of the palace, some clapping, some laughing, and even displeased snorting, and the various states of the world were vividly displayed at this moment. After all, they only dared to make a loud noise at the gate of the prince's mansion at this moment.

Walking inside again, I looked at the courtyard, there was a piece of paper on a small table, and when I looked at it, it turned out to be a list of gifts. No wonder this courtyard is full of all kinds of objects wrapped in red paper.

At the top of this list, there is a line with the largest words, written in ink:

"Your Majesty the King of Han, with a thousand taels of gold, I wish Xiu'er an early birth of a noble son."

Further down the list of names, there are all kinds of things, jewelry, coral. also saw a woman who sent him, Hu Xiu deliberately noticed his name, Liu Dingfang, who is also a strange person.

Don't feel vulgar, he just thinks that even if he doesn't want other gifts, he can live a free life with this thousand taels of gold.

In the end, he has little knowledge and a small pattern, and with his identity, it is not easy to want gold in the future, which is comparable to countless gold thousand taels!

"Young master, why don't you go to the lobby with the bride? What do you do standing in the yard? ”

"Huh? Uncle Cheng, when did you come? ”

As soon as Hu Xiu turned his head, he saw a big butler sitting in front of the small table.

"Hehe~ just came, I just went to the toilet, don't I have to go back here, continue to receive invitations and gifts."

Uncle Cheng smiled, and he could always find a sense of Confucianism and kindness from him.

"Uncle Cheng, you have this identity, how can you still do this person's work."

"Young master, you can't say that, I'm just a housekeeper, why can't I do this job? Take your bride to the lobby quickly, don't miss the hour. ”

Hu Xiu pinched the weak and boneless little hand in his hand, and pulled her to stride towards the lobby, yes! Don't miss the hour!

……

"The bride and groom have arrived!"

As soon as I entered the lobby, I don't know who howled, and I wrote even more angrily and festively.

Unconsciously, Hu Xiu was nervous, and sweat stains oozed from his palms. And Shi Ling'er's hand was being pinched by him, and he felt it really.

"Hu Dashizi, why do you sweat so much on your hands? I've got it all over my hands, so you can't be scared. ”

Shi Ling'er lowered her voice with Hu Xiu and teased.

"I don't want to, after all, I'm getting married for the first time, and I don't have much experience, so I'll have experience when I get married again next time."

Hu Xiu couldn't weaken his momentum, but instead commanded an army.

"You..."

Shi Ling'er gritted her teeth a little, but she didn't know what to say.

"Son! Daughter-in-law! Let's go faster, it's not like we can't hear what you two are saying, are we? What the is the kid? ”

Hu Feiwei sat on the left side of the Eight Immortals table, the beard on his face was rarely shaved clean, more refreshing than before, but less bold. He also wore bright red clothes.

When Hu Xiu heard this, he almost tripped over himself, forgetting his father's strength, how could he not hear what the two of them said.

"Yes, yes~"

Yu'er's mother, a rare one who did not reprimand Hu Feiwei, but responded to his words. At this time, it is rare to see her dignified, wearing a treasure hairpin, sitting in an atmospheric posture but not losing her Confucianism, what a lady of the palace!

In this lobby, there are also people who come, all of them are guests, and those who come to say goodbye have a warm smile on their faces, and no one dares to disturb this atmosphere.

As they entered, they stopped, only a few feet away. Hu Xiu faced Hu Feiwei, and Shi Ling'er faced Yu'er's mother.

An old man stood in the middle, the same person who shouted the voice before, and it seemed that his duties should be similar to the current master of ceremonies.

"Worship heaven and earth~"

Hu Xiu peeked at Shi Ling'er, saw her turn around, knelt down and kowtowed outside the hall, and he hurriedly did the same.

"Erbai High Hall~"

This kowtow is a kowtow to the parents, although the soul is different, but it is not difficult to accept it for the owner of this body to kowtow to them.

"Husband and wife worship each other..."

"Send to the cave!"

~

With the last voice of the master of ceremonies, Hu Xiu stood up, watched her being supported by the girl, and walked out of the lobby amid the laughter of the guests.

None of these guests he knew......

Hu Xiu was stunned, Hu Fei slapped him on the back for a stop, and hit him staggering.

"Go and toast your uncles, what are you doing here."

"Oh, okay."

Hu Xiu was dragged away.

Late at night, in Hu Xiu's courtyard, Hu Xiu greeted the maid who helped him all the way, held his waist, staggered to the side room, and knocked on the door.

"Camellia, open the door!"

Inside the door, there was a sound of rustling, and the candle lamp in the house was lit, she must have fallen asleep.

"Childe, why are you here?"

Camellia was a little surprised, at this time, shouldn't she go to find the bride?

"It's coming, it's coming, what about the medicinal herbs I put here with you before?"

"Is it the medicinal herb that was ground into powder before?"

"Yes."

"I'll keep it."

"Borrow your tub for a while."

Hu Xiu's mind was also dizzy, and without waiting for Camellia to agree, he stepped over the porch and went in directly.

"Ahh

After aiming at the same, the whole person got into the quilt, looked at his Lamu with a frightened face, and the corners of his mouth twitched, this girl thought too much.

"Childe."

Camellia also hurried back.

"There will be a few people carrying water later, you take out the medicinal herbs first."

Packets of medicinal herbs were taken out, Hu Xiu sniffed them one by one, and put the medicinal powder into the bathtub in turn.

After a while, several sturdy men came with buckets.

Hu Xiu opened the screen, neatly took off his wedding clothes, took off cleanly, and put hot and cold water into the basin.

After stirring a few times, the whole person sank in, and even his face sank, his makeup hasn't been removed, and by the way, he washed his face...

Xingzhong recited the mental method, he was in a hurry this afternoon, and in the morning he had just applied the medicinal mud, this medicinal bath was necessary, and he didn't want to lose his life because of this.

After frustrating his face for a long time, he felt that his makeup should have fallen off, so he tilted his head up.

"Wow~"

Hu Xiu stood up violently from the bathtub, but his mind was much clearer, and he indifferently found that he didn't take his bath towel.

"Camellias?"

Hu Xiu tentatively shouted quietly, secretly thinking that if she didn't hear it, it wouldn't matter if she was wet and dressed.

"What's wrong? Son? ”

Through the candlelight, I saw a figure conspicuously, standing in front of the screen, she wouldn't be, she hadn't walked away since Hu Xiu got into the bathtub, right?

Hu Xiu felt a chill in his crotch.

"That's... Do you have extra bath towels? ”

I always feel that it is a little difficult to say this.

"No, but a few days ago, I asked my subordinates to bring a strip for Lamu to use."

"No, no, no, you still take yours."

"Okay."

Camellia covered her mouth and snickered, not knowing what she was laughing at.

A towel was handed over from the top of the screen.

De~ This bath towel is also red, Hu Xiu shook his head, shook off the thoughts that should not be in his mind, wiped it roughly, and quickly put his clothes back on.

I opened the screen, but I didn't dare to look at the camellia, and hurriedly went out of the side room.

When I wake up, I think back to what I did when I was drunk, and I always feel that I don't have a face. What did I think at that time, how did I think of going to find a camellia to borrow a bathtub to take a bath?

And this wedding room is too hasty, it is the house he has always lived in, but the decoration is more festive.

Hu Xiu is always aware of how bad the original owner Hu Xiu is in dealing with the world.

At the time of the toast today, none of those descendants who were about the same age as him knew him well.

The current Hu Xiu has made a lot of superficial friends politely, after all, there are many friends, and there is always nothing bad.

"Coming?"

The moment Hu Xiu pushed open the wooden door, Shi Ling'er's voice sounded, the red hijab she was wearing was still not lifted, and her girl stood naturally beside her.

The burning candles illuminated the two of them, and the stove in the house warmed the room even more.

"Well, should I lift the hijab?"

"You have the smell of medicinal herbs, they are all cold herbs."

"Oh, that's to be lifted."

"Wait a minute."

Shi Ling'er stretched out her hand to stop Hu Xiu.

"You just went to the side room?"

"yes, how do you know?"

She pointed to his girl, and Hu Xiu knew in his heart.

"Bathing with cool herbs? Is it sick? ”

She asked, touching Hu Xiu's wet hair.

"No, your breath is stable, and your spirit is far more vigorous than others, what kind of martial arts are you practicing, but there are drawbacks, I'm right."

Hu Xiu didn't say anything when he heard it, but Xingzhong secretly exclaimed, this little girl is so smart.

Reaching out and taking off her red hijab, her makeup was so thick that she couldn't see her complexion, her facial features were three-dimensional, and there was always a divine light in her eyes. The red lips were red like flames in the light of the candlelight, although they had met once last time, but it was only a glance.

This time face to face, looking at each other, watching her look pretty but not charming, watching his eyebrows and eyes, boys and girls, girls and men, such a pair together.

Why not: fate?

"You haven't taken off your makeup yet?"

"It's right not to unload."

……

The maid who gave him makeup lied to her, she said that after the kiss, she could take off the makeup.

"In fact, it doesn't matter if you can't unload it, and the world doesn't know it, so you don't have to care about it."

Shi Ling'er boldly pulled off the phoenix hairpin on her head, her hair fell out, and her hair was so long.

"What are you doing, and you don't go to bed?"

Seeing Hu Xiu standing still, she reminded her.

"Oh."

Hu Xiu sat on the edge of the bed obediently.

"Take off your clothes, if you want to wear a wedding dress with a smell of alcohol and sleep with me, then I can't help it."

"Take it off."

Hu Xiujue always felt depressed when chatting with her.

"Your underwear smells a little bit too."

Shi Ling'er arched her nose.

"I'll change it."

Hu Xiu sniffed his underwear, it really smelled bad, so he got up from the bed again, and was about to extinguish the candle and change it in the dark, but was dragged by the girl.

"Hu Shizi, this candle can't be extinguished."

"Huh? Oh~"

Traditions and customs that don't matter, let's keep them.

I took out a set of underwear from the cupboard, hid in the cabinet and changed into bed, which was much more refreshing.

"Maid, come up too."

When Hu Xiu was still thinking about why her girl would follow her, she actually greeted her and let her go to bed too.

The girl took off her clothes and lay down carefully on Shi Ling'er's side.

"Seeing that you keep calling her maid, doesn't she have a name?"

"No, she's an orphan and doesn't have a name."

"You can choose a name."

Hu Xiu frowned, why people are born is because they are famous. How is it different from livestock?

"The Shi family has the rules of the Shi family."

Shi Ling'er said coldly, it seemed that she didn't want to tell Hu Xiu.

He also remembered his Yu'er mother-in-law, who seemed to have such a maid.

"She offended you today, please don't mind."

"Offended? Uh~ What did you mean by blocking the door? ”

"Hmm."

"It's okay, I won't mind, I'm not a chicken-bellied person."

If it weren't for Shi Ling'er's reminder, Hu Xiu would have almost forgotten that he was stopped today.

"Hold Me"

"Huh?"

So straightforward?

"We're too young to do that."

"How small? You're too weak, and I'm not too young. ”

Weak crown of bullshit, if you count by the number of years I lived, I only lived fifteen years, a few more months.

"How about waiting another year?"

Hu Xiu tried to discuss.

"No, if I hadn't become popular today, the people of the Shi family would have been pointed at when they went out."

This girl knows so much, and she also knows that she is red......

"It's okay, replace it with cinnabar, or get up tomorrow morning, minus a piece on top of this sheet and put it away. Fooling outsiders is your falling red, I don't believe it, and there are still people who dare to steal it. ”

"You hate me?"

Shi Ling'er is not like Camellia, Camellia's personality is tactful like water, and she is as straightforward as steel.

"No, I'm just thinking about our offspring, you are too young, and the children you give birth to are easily deformed."

From a modern point of view, early marriage and early childbearing will indeed be the case.

"Really? You'll have to tell me why. ”

Shi Ling'er sat up suddenly, and looked at Hu Xiu with bright eyes, looking at him strangely scared.

……

ps: Gao Tang actually refers to the residence of the parents, and it can also refer to the parents. Unmarried, this chapter may not be true.

In ancient times, when the candles were spent in the cave room, the candles could not be blown out, and they had to be lit until the next day, which meant that they would last for a long time.
