Chapter 18: The Night of Candles in the Cave Room

The long night, because of Shi Feixue's appearance, became no longer so long.

Li Shuangxi did not play the bamboo flute again, and Xia Qin did not appear again. Perhaps, Li Shuangxi has accepted the reality in front of him, no matter how he can marry the first beauty in Yangzhou, it will not be a bad thing, even if he is calculated by that 'dead eunuch' tomorrow, it will be worth it in this world. Isn't it as the saying goes: 'When the peony flower dies, it is also romantic to be a ghost'.

Early in the morning, the city of Yangzhou is very lively. The common people heard that the young lady of the Shi Shangshu family was going to get married, and they all crowded the streets early.

The entire street at the entrance of the Shangshu Mansion is covered with a red carpet, leading straight to the Shangshu Mansion. There is a pair of happy couplets on both sides of the door, red silk is tied on the door, and even the family and maids have all changed into new clothes. The old butler kept handing out candy to the crowd, and his old face was smiling, and the wrinkles were squeezed together.

"Whose descendants are so daring... No, it's a blessing to be able to marry Miss Shi, this is a blessing that has been around for several lifetimes. ”

"Don't talk nonsense, Master Shi is a good person."

"Yes, you have the guts, you can marry Miss Shi."

People are talking about it, and judging from their words and eyes, today they are all looking at who this 'bold' uncle is.

"The bride is here, and the new aunt has come out to greet her." The sound of drums came from afar, followed by the matchmaker's goosebumps.

The crowd automatically moved out of the way, and Dajiao, who was carried by eight people, came slowly. The ladies standing on both sides spread the petals in the sky where the procession passed. The floral scent soaks in the air and creates a captivating fragrance.

"The bridegroom is out." A vermilion groom's dress sets off a perfect figure, clean and bright. Wearing a silver crown on his head, a jade pendant tied around his waist, and his long hair lazily falling behind his shoulders, Jun's face was filled with a happy smile from the bottom of his heart.

"This young man is not from our Yangzhou, is it any wonder that he is so bold? I'm afraid, he doesn't even know who he offended. ”

"Don't talk nonsense, people can't be 'knowing that there are tigers in the mountains, and preferring to go to the tiger mountains.'" ”

"There are really people who are not afraid of death."

Li Shuangxi stood on the red carpet at the door, listening to the gossip floating in the wind in his ears, he did not regret it, in this era, he felt at home for the first time.

"The new aunt kicks the sedan chair." After stepping forward and kicking the sedan chair three times, the bride walked down with the support of the maid. I saw that the bride had a low red lotus, a red dress and no hands, under the brocade cover, and she was shy. Dressed in a red wedding dress, reflecting her flower-like face, red lips and teeth, she showed a touching charm. The fair skin is pitiful, the slender waist is like a tight silk belt, and the ten fingers are like the tips of fresh onions. The phoenix crown on his head and the pearls on his body shine in the sun. It's true that this woman should only be in heaven, but she has no choice but to fall into the dust. ’

"Oh my God, it turns out that Miss Shi is so beautiful."

"Even if you die, you have to marry."

With the appearance of Shi Feixue, the onlookers who watched the lively idlers began to change from ridicule to jealousy one by one.

Li Shuangxi smiled faintly, no matter what people think, it has no effect on him, because he himself is not greedy for Miss Shi's beauty.

Holding the bride's hand, amid the sound of firecrackers, a couple walked through the door. Mr. Shi and Mrs. Shi were already sitting in the lobby, and on their side, sat Ma Shiying, Ma Shiying had a ghost smile on his face, and he didn't know what the hell he was thinking.

The ceremony went smoothly under the auspices of the matchmaker, and I thought that Ma Shiying would make a hindrance from it, but until the bride was sent to the cave room, nothing special happened, and the Shi family breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that this level has passed.

Li Shuangxi was a little drunk, and many civil and military officials took turns to come up to give him wine, and he couldn't tell who was who, anyway, he could drink it, this was the first time he drank like this when he was so old, and he didn't expect that Li Shuangxi's body turned out to be a physique that was not drunk in a thousand cups.

Ma Shiying left early, maybe he was really powerless when he saw that 'raw rice was cooked into cooked rice'.

It was late at night, and the guests had dispersed. Li Shuangxi staggered into the new house, closed the door, a faint fragrance came, the candle flame in front of him seemed to be shaking slightly, and even the people next to the bed seemed to be shaking left and right with the candle flame.

Li Shuangxi sat on the bench at the table, he needed to calm down first. Shi Feixue sat on the edge of the bed and her heart was beating hard, she didn't know if the man she was about to follow would be a righteous gentleman, or perhaps, he was just a prodigal son.

The room was so quiet that even the sound of a needle dropping could be heard. Li Shuangxi was drunk and drunk, he knew that he was only marrying Shi Feixue fakely, he couldn't do anything deviant, and he also hoped to use Shi Kefa's power to realize the joint resistance of the peasant army and Nanming to the Qing Dynasty.

What is the sound? Li Shuangxi and Shi Feixue both thought that the other party had made the first move, and both of them closed their eyes nervously. After waiting for a while, the voice disappeared, Li Shuangxi lay on the table, and peeked at it, Shi Feixue was still sitting on the edge of the bed, could it be... Is there anyone in this house? Li Shuangxi pretended to turn over, and quickly looked at the room, not like a person, could it be on the roof! He pretended to stretch again, and with a quick glance there was indeed a tile on the roof that had been removed, leaking into a ray of moonlight.

'Who is so bored to hide on the roof and peek into the human cave room?' Li Shuangxi didn't know what to do all of a sudden? If this is spread by others, and he didn't go to the bride's bed, and it reaches Ma Shiying's ears, it will be a big deal.

'Whatever, if you don't do it now, let him see it if he wants to, and he can't spend the night lying on this table.' ’

Li Shuangxi thought, and slowly began to walk towards the bed. Li Feixue saw Li Shuangxi's feet walking towards her from under the red hijab, and her heart was about to jump out of her throat.

'What do you want to do?' She wanted to scream, but she didn't know why, but she couldn't scream when the words came to her lips. She felt that Li Shuangxi was already sitting next to her, his face slowly approaching, and she could already feel the sound of his rapid breathing.

"There's someone on the roof." Shi Feixue was about to scream, but she heard such a voice in her ears.

"Lady, you are so beautiful." The red hijab on Shi Feixue's head was removed, and in front of her was Li Shuangxi's drunken red face.

"I'll go get you some water and wash your face." Shi Feixue wanted to escape, she didn't know what terrible things would happen if she stayed.

"Don't go, lady, the Spring Festival is worth a thousand gold, let's go to bed early." As soon as Shi Feixue stood up and wanted to leave, she had already been thrown on the bed by Li Shuangxi.

"You," Shi Feixue only said one word, and her small mouth was already covered by Li Shuangxi.

"Do you want the people on the roof to find out that I haven't been to bed all night?" Shi Feixue stopped struggling, the red curtain was lowered, and slowly the bed began to shake gently.
