Chapter 7 Birthday Presents

Night falls.

In the backyard of Longjing Tea House, all the courtyards are hung with red colors, and a happy word is posted on the gate to celebrate the birthday of the birthday star Wu Meiniang!

It's just a festive atmosphere, but there is no festive atmosphere, the surroundings are deserted, dark everywhere, and few people come and go.

Wu Meiniang sat at home sullenly, looking complaining, just like the resentful woman who was abandoned by a man, although she had already decided to let go, but the feeling is like a bone and how can you forget it if you want to? The more you force you to forget, the more you think about it in your heart, and the more painful it is, the more it hurts, the more unforgettable it is.

With a creak, the door was pushed open, and Yang walked in with a big bag in his hand: "Mei Niang, today is your birth." Your eldest sister specially brought you southern pastries from Jiangnan, as well as some beautiful silk clothes, and your mother personally cooked a table of your favorite hometown dishes...... Ah, I said you're a real girl, go out to explore, and you've been sullen since you came back, I really don't know what you're thinking! In the past, we were miserable, either because we had no money, or we were busy with business and had no time. Now that everything is on track, I want to live for you, but I have a strained face all day long. Her tone was full of melancholy and helplessness.

Wu Meiniang has been smart since she was a child, very assertive, and behaves with people, ten times stronger than her mother, and the Yang family also knows that her daughter is stronger than her, and she just asks her about it, so that she doesn't know anything about Wu Meiniang's situation, and she doesn't know what her baby daughter is thinking or who she is suffering for, so she can only be anxious on the side.

Wu Meiniang was also embarrassed to see her mother's concern, and forced a smile: "Mother, Meiniang is fine...... Really, just a little bit stuffy. ”

Yang said nervously: "Could it be that you are sick, do you want to go to the doctor?" ”

Wu Meiniang shook her head and said no, but comforted: "Mother, don't worry, I'll just sleep, there's nothing!" ”

"Alas......" Yang sighed: "You don't want to say it, and my mother is not reluctant, but you are like this, how can my mother not worry!" ”

Wu Meiniang didn't want her mother to worry, but she really couldn't laugh, and when she saw Yang like this, her sadness was even greater.

Yang saw that instead of persuading Wu Meiniang, Yang made her even more uncomfortable, and he didn't dare to stay for a long time, so he put down the things and said: "The food is in the pot, if you want to eat it, go eat it yourself, and my mother will leave first." ”

Wu Meiniang just nodded and didn't speak.

I don't know how long it took for the door to be pushed open again. This time it was not the Yang family, but the third sister Wu Jingniang, she said with a smile: "My mother doesn't know why the second sister is worried, but Jing Niang knows...... Hehe, the person who can make you happy is here, do you want to meet the second sister? ”

Wu Meiniang was shocked, and a strong hope burned in her heart, and she suddenly burst into battle, and said in a lost voice: "He's here...... No......" then sat down in frustration: "The cave room spends candle night, how can you come here." Third sister, don't follow the gang, fool around. ”

Wu Jingniang said with a smile: "The main lord didn't come, but he sent a friend." Would you like to see it? ”

Wu Meiniang was silent for a while, and said, "Where is it?" ”

Wu Jingniang smiled knowingly: "It's in the reception room, the second sister is in the spirit?" ”

Wu Meiniang raised her foot and kicked Wu Jingniang and said, "Little girl, stay there, dare to eavesdrop again, worry about the blossoming of your butt!" ”

Wu Jingniang laughed and hid to the side.

Wu Meiniang regrouped her mood, came to the living room, and saw the figure of the visitor, knowing that the other party was Du He's subordinate and the beloved of the dead party.

Fang Yiai heard the footsteps, turned her head, and saw that Wu Meiniang's eyes also flashed with a sense of surprise, and said in her heart: "I didn't expect that there is such a beauty in Chang'an, this boss is the boss, and the shot is extraordinary." No wonder I don't see him shopping in the Qinglou, it turns out that he has changed careers and likes a woman from a good family! He nodded in understanding, in his heart Duhe had always been the original Duhe...... Wu Meiniang shouted: "General Fang! ”

Fang Yiai woke up and hurriedly said: "Miss Wu, my boss has a gift for you, but the gift is too big to put down here, just on the dirt slope of the Tang Paradise." The boss said that you must wait until it gets dark before you can leave, and now is the time. ”

Such a mysterious, such a huge gift, Wu Meiniang was also curious, and couldn't help but let Fang Yiai lead the way.

At night, the Hibiscus Garden was silent, and there was no pedestrians around except for the sounds of birds and beasts. Wan Lai was silent, and Fang Yiai didn't speak, just carrying a lantern in front of him to lead the way. Even if she knew that Fang Yi's love was credible, Wu Meiniang's heart was still faintly hairy at the moment. If it weren't for the fact that Fang Yiai was Duhe's person and worthy of trust, no matter what, she wouldn't have come here in the middle of the night.

When he came to the high slope, Fang Yiai suddenly extinguished the lantern.

Wu Meiniang was shocked in her heart, and was questioning, and the fire was lit again, not a lamp, but a torch.

Fang Yiai handed her the torch and said with a smile: "Ten steps forward, you will see a thick rope on the ground, you can light it and you can see the gift that my boss has carefully prepared for you." ”

Wu Meiniang didn't know why, but her curiosity was even better, and she took ten steps forward according to her words, and really found a thread similar to a thick rope on the ground, but the color was not the usual earthy yellow, but a gray thing.

Wu Meiniang stretched out a torch and lit the gray hemp rope.

The twine that had lit the gray hemp rope suddenly swished and burned, and the hemp rope shot out a ray of light, and burned forward at both ends at a rapid speed.

Ten steps away from him, a cluster of flames rose up to the sky, just like the "multi-bone nomi card effect", oil lamps lit up one after another, and the flames were like stars shining, and together they spelled out the six words "Mei Niangsheng is happy", each word is the size of half a basketball court.

As the six words appeared, flames like flowers burned all around.

Almost instantly, Wu Meiniang burst into tears, and her heart was filled with something called happiness.

In order to prepare for all this, Du He had to be careless, the oil lamp was set up by him himself, and it was full of fire oil. And the thick rope-like thread lit by Wu Meiniang is the fuse, a lead invented to better use gunpowder, but Du He made use of it, and the lead is connected to the oil lamp, and the lead is connected to the oil lamp. Therefore, once an oil lamp is lit, another oil lamp will also be implicated and burned, until the six words "Mei Niangsheng is happy" are formed.

The six red and glamorous fire characters illuminated half the sky, and Fang Yiai said: "My boss said that he couldn't return Mei Niang's life today, and he has a heartfelt apology." The gifts in this life are all made by him alone, I hope you can like it. ”

Wu Meiniang smiled happily and said, "I like it very much, I really like it!" She received this heart, this huge gift, and she did receive it, and she was so moved that she burst into tears.

suddenly remembered a conversation between the third sister Wu Jingniang and him ten days ago, that is, after Du He left.

Wu Jingniang is young, but she has the potential to be a gossip reporter, she is clever and cunning, and said with a smile: "Second sister, it turns out that your sweetheart is Du He, General Du." Hee-hee...... General Du is majestic and chic, has a good family background, and is both civil and military, I think the second sister is a little suspenseful. ”

Wu Meiniang was angry and laughed: "What do you know about this little baby?" ”

Wu Jingniang snorted arrogantly, and then said: "You think I don't understand, but in fact, I know everything." The second sister likes General Du, but General Du already has a wife. The second sister is unwilling to be a concubine, and others look down on her, so she is embarrassed and doesn't know what to do! Hee-hee...... Jing Niang is right! ”

Wu Meiniang couldn't imagine that Wu Jingniang, a baby less than fifteen, would be able to say these words in an old-fashioned manner, and she was dumbfounded.

Wu Jingniang continued: "Actually, it's nothing, the second sister is unwilling to be a concubine, why don't you fight for a wife!" Didn't the book say that there were three wives and four concubines! There is still a vacant seat, and the second sister fills in it, which is no better. Hehe, this General Du is so popular, the second sister doesn't do it, in case she lets others take the first step, it's too late for the second sister to cry. ”

Wu Meiniang really made Wu Jingniang excited. She doesn't know about these three wives and four concubines, but although the flat wife is also a wife, she is inferior to the main wife in terms of status after all. Her surname is a little stronger, arrogant and reluctant to be under others. So I have been hesitating until now.

On the one hand, she is reserved and arrogant, but on the other hand, she cares very much about what Wu Jingniang said: three wives and four concubines, and only the last seat is left among the three wives!

Just when Wu Meiniang was greatly moved, Du He also completed all the marriage ceremonies.

Marrying Li Xueyan has no extra requirements except for giving tea to the eldest woman, that is, Changle, just like marrying a wife, you also have to go through a variety of etiquettes such as the ceremony of wo lu, the ceremony of joining the prison, the ceremony of worship, the ceremony of holding hands, etc., only the gift of knotting hair cannot be executed, because there can only be one wife.

Du He picked off the hijab on Li Xueyan's head and helped her remove the jewelry on her head, and her eyes were smiling into a crescent moon shape.

"What are you laughing at, Du Lang?" Li Xueyan saw that Du Hele was overwhelmed in the bronze mirror, and raised her eyes and asked.

Du He put down the last phoenix hairpin and hugged Li Xueyan in his arms, Moss faced, feeling the feeling that was a thousand times softer than silk, and said with a smile: "This is happy!" To be able to obtain you, a beautiful woman with a thousand faces, I am the blessing that Du He has cultivated for ten lifetimes! ”

Li Xueyan closed her eyes and enjoyed the warmth brought by this embrace, and her long-standing wish was realized, her face was full of sweet smiles, and she muttered to herself: "It is the blessing of Xueyan to be able to marry Du Lang!" ”

Li Xueyan's hair was already loose, rippling with a shiny luster like dark silk satin.

Looking at that pretty face that was already emotional, Du He knew what he should do at this moment!
