Chapter 283: Meeting at Night
If you change the weekdays, the husband will be beaten, the more festive the atmosphere, the heavier the beating, this is the custom of the wedding in Guanzhong.
According to the process, the last step of the six rites is to welcome, that is, the groom takes the man's brothers and friends to the woman's house, and the bride is brought to his own house by the scenery, and the man's maid will act as the role of the escort, to the woman's house, the woman's girlfriends and relatives and friends will wrap the wooden sticks with soft cloth, and when the man comes to pick up the bride, the maids will unceremoniously pick up the sticks to the male bridesmaids and beat them all over the world, the heavier the beating, the more auspicious and festive.
It's a pity that Li Su's wedding didn't follow the usual path and chose a small prince as a maid.
The tall and tall Cheng Chumo stood in front of the gate of the Xu family in a dress, just like Zhang Fei in front of the Dangyang Bridge, and the Xu family was so frightened that he opened the door in a hurry.
Inside the gate of Xu's house, a group of maids held sticks and looked hesitantly at Li Su, Cheng Chumo and others who came to greet them.
Maybe the Xu family has already said the identity of Li Su and others before, and the maids of the Xu family are just some ordinary businessmen and jades.
The expected stick did not fall, and Cheng Chumo, who was about to be beaten, was very surprised, and waited for a long time before seeing a maid carefully holding the stick and approaching Cheng Chumo, and gently touched Cheng Chumo like a tiger's mouth pulling teeth, for fear that Cheng Chumo would bite people, and quickly jumped away.
Cheng Chumo originally looked fierce, but after being touched by a stick, he subconsciously stared at him, and his appearance became more and more vicious, and the maid who beat him was suddenly frightened, and the stick was thrown and covered her face and cried.
This little turmoil can be regarded as adding the only light-hearted joy to the day's lifeless wedding.
…………
Li Su was drunk that day, and like all drunk people, his mind was extremely sober. The sight in his eyes swayed.
I don't remember how many cups I drank, and I don't remember what the elders such as Cheng Biting Jin and Niu Jinda patted their shoulders when they saw off the guests, which seemed to be comforting and sighing.
The guests dispersed, the housekeeper and his subordinates silently cleaned up the messy front hall and courtyard, and Li Daozheng also drank too much. was supported by the subordinates to sleep in the front yard wing, and the backyard of the Li family naturally belonged to the little master, in addition to Li Su and several maids in the backyard, there will be another hostess from today onwards.
Steward Xue helped the rickety Li Su to the arch of the backyard, and the maid in the backyard took over, helping Li Su to walk to the new house.
When he was about to walk to the new house, Li Su suddenly stood up straight, raised his hand and waved the maid away.
The maids were surprised to see Li Su standing straight. There was clarity in his eyes, and he didn't know if he was really drunk or fake, but the maids still carefully let go of his arms.
There was no one around under the corridor, and Li Su stood outside the wooden window of the new house, quietly bathing in the dim yellow halo that came out of the room.
In the new room, there is a woman who has never met before, covered with a red cover. She may have picturesque eyebrows and eyes, and she may be gentle as water. sat straight and dignified, without losing the demeanor of a lady......
But after all, he's just a stranger.
Li Su was already drunk, and he really couldn't drink the last glass of wine.
Standing outside the window for a while, Li Su could even feel the bride's long breathing in the new room. Even breathing is so strange.
I don't know how long I stood there, the cold night breeze passed under the corridor, Li Su's wine became more and more sober, pursed his lips, and turned to leave. Leaving a lone lamp in the new house.
*************************************************************
Steward Xue watched Li Su go out worriedly, and secretly sent two servants to quietly follow Shaolangjun, for fear of an accident at night.
Li Su walked alone in the cold and lonely night, and just after drinking, the cold wind blew on his body and was extremely cold, as if he had fallen into an ice cave.
I don't know how long I walked, but when Li Su came back to his senses, he suddenly found that he had walked to the familiar river beach.
Li Su couldn't help but smile bitterly, this place is really a destined place of calamity, and the joy and happiness, bitterness and sorrow of this life all arise from this.
Spring is about to begin, but the river beach is much colder than the village, and the howling cold wind keeps pouring into the mouth and nose, Li Su faces the cold wind and walks quite hard.
Every time, he always has a glimmer of hope, looking forward to a familiar figure waiting for him quietly by the river beach, quiet and tranquil, unstained with mortal dust.
Every time his expectations are always disappointed, Li Su is one foot higher and one foot lower at the moment, and the closer he is to that familiar place, the more and more he looks forward to it in his heart.
In the dark night, he couldn't see his five fingers, and Li Su suddenly found that his breathing was getting shorter and shorter.
A spiritual rhino in my heart, like a meteor in the night sky, suddenly brightened.
He felt the smell of familiarity, so familiar that it seemed carved into his bones.
A vague and graceful figure stood quietly on the edge of the river, facing the Jing River, quietly listening to the flow of the river. Li Su's heartbeat accelerated in vain, and he held his breath and quietly took two steps forward, for fear of shattering the illusion in front of him.
The familiar figure seemed to be aware of it, and turned around at the same time, the two of them were a few feet apart, staring at each other, and there were no eyebrows in the darkness, but they could see the light in each other's eyes, affectionate and focused.
"Dongyang...... Is that you? Li Su asked in a trembling voice.
The figure seemed to be very excited, trying to rush forward and hug him, but restraining the impulse to be out of place.
"I ...... Poor Dao, Poor Dao Xuanhui, donor you...... You ......"
It was still a familiar tone, and Li Su closed her eyes as if she could see her nervous, confused and stammering cute appearance at the moment.
What Aunt Dao didn't dare to do, Li Su dared.
After confirming that it was her, Li Su stepped forward quickly and hugged her in his arms, and the force was suffocating.
Dongyang became more and more flustered, and after being quiet in his arms for a while, he suddenly struggled hard: "You, you let go quickly, I'...... Poor Dao Xuanhui, you can't be light on the poor Dao......"
"I know, I know, Xuan Hui, don't move, let me hug me for a while, I've been away from you for too long, I'm almost forgetting your taste for a long time......" Li Su comforted her very perfunctorily, hugged her with the same strength, buried her nose in her neck, and took a deep breath.
"You...... Don't do this, it will ruin my Qing Xiu ......" Dongyang buried himself in his arms and protested weakly.
"Let me hold it for a while, and then you can clean it up...... By the way, when did you go back to the village? ”
Dongyang seemed to accept his fate, and was quietly held in his arms, and said helplessly: "I just came back, the Taoist temple has been built, and my father sent someone to tell me, I can leave the palace......"
