Chapter 81: The Eve of the Big Wedding
When the wedding procession arrived at Chuan City, it was already half a month later.
The general's mansion in Chu'an City has been arranged by the housekeeper Uncle Fu Luo, and the general's mansion has a new look from the inside out, hung with red lanterns and silk, and the decoration is particularly festive.
Lime was arranged by Qiu Chulin in a courtyard on the outskirts of the city, and he came here to pick her up when she got married three days later.
Shuo Chu's custom, the newlyweds should not meet three days before the wedding, otherwise it will be regarded as a collision with the god of joy, which is the most unlucky thing.
So since sending her to another hospital, Qiu Chulin returned to Chu'an City to wait for the wedding, and all the affairs in the other courtyard were taken care of by Qiu Xiyang.
In the three days before she got married, Lime slept alone and woke up alone, but surprisingly she didn't have a dream.
But fortunately, she didn't climb onto the roof to look at the moon on a whim, otherwise she would have met Qiu Chulin unexpectedly.
She didn't know that Qiu Chulin had been living on her roof for the past three days, because Qiu Chulin had hidden it very well, so good that he didn't show up the next day when someone came to the courtyard at night to find trouble with Lime.
That night, Lime slept early and fell asleep deeply, and the uninvited guests did not wake up when they were close to her, but fortunately, the uninvited guests had trouble with their hands and feet, and knocked down the round stool five feet away from her, and woke Lime up.
Lime maintains the old habit of placing the crescent moon in the palm of her hand and hiding it under the pillow before going to bed.
Although she was aware of the fact that someone had attacked her room at night, her reaction to the situation was quite astute, and she quickly clenched the crescent moon and kept a close eye on the visitors.
But after a long time, no one moved, and the man only stood in front of her bed, as if he was looking at her laboriously by the moonlight.
After another half of the day, Lime didn't want to stalemate with the man anymore, so he lifted the quilt and turned over, opened his eyes that had already disappeared from sleepiness and looked at the man, and asked impatiently, "Have you seen enough?" β
The moonlight was hazy tonight, and the light in the room was even darker, and the man was in the direction of the backlight, so the lime didn't see anything except that she was probably a woman in her own shape.
"Who are you?" Although the man's voice was low, it was not difficult to hear that it was indeed a woman.
She asked Lime a confused question.
She has heard about this, can she still not know that she is Su Yan's eldest princess Guichen, Qiu Chulin's fiancΓ©e?
"The girl is an interesting question." Lime sat up, hid the crescent moon in her hand, and said slowly, "Since you have come here to look for me, how can you not know who I am?" β
"It turns out that you are Su Yan's eldest princess!" The woman's voice was cold, and she seemed to be very angry, "You say, what do you have for the general?" β
This is...... Qiu Chulin's peach blossoms?
Lime rolled her eyes secretly, did someone come to the door to provoke her before she passed the door?
"Naturally, it is Ann's true heart." Lime chuckled and got up and paced to the woman's side, "Listen to the girl, have you seen me before?" Oh, that's right, I've been to the hunting ground with the general, I've blocked a marriage for the general, and I've seen a lot of people, but I don't know who the girl is? β
"You don't need to know who I am, you just need to know that I'm the one who killed you!" Before the woman could finish speaking, she drew her sword towards Lime.
"Doing it to a woman who has no power to restrain a chicken, it doesn't look like the strength of the county lord!" Lime's gaze passed over the woman and landed at the door of the inner room not far away, and then she stroked her hair bun casually, and inserted the crescent moon hidden in her hand back into her hair quietly.
Xu Ziyue obviously didn't expect Lime to recognize her identity, she gritted her teeth in the dark, and her heart to kill Lime became even firmer, "Don't pretend to be garlic, if you really don't know martial arts, how can you come out of the hunting ground alive?" β
"It was the general who carried me out, didn't the county lord see it clearly that day?" Lime Road.
"You...... Be bold, suffer death! Xu Ziyue was even more annoyed by the lime's excitement, and was about to make a move on the lime immediately.
"The county lord is right, you are not qualified to do it with my princess, you have nothing to do tonight, this girl will play with you." Jing Chuchu had quickly walked behind Xu Ziyue at this moment, and his hand was on the hilt of the soft sword at his waist.
When these two people fought, there was nothing to do with lime.
Lime retreated to the bedside to watch the battle between the two, and after a while, she yawned shallowly, and sleepiness hit, "Chu Chu, it's not good to see blood these days, don't hurt her, let her go." β
When Jing Chuchu heard this, the offensive instantly became fierce, and he forced Xu Ziyue out of the window without hurting her in the slightest.
Qiu Xiyang outside the door rushed to hear the news, Xu Ziyue saw that the matter was exposed, and did not dare to stay, and hurriedly left the courtyard.
Qiu Xiyang led people to search to no avail, so he came and knocked on the door of Lime.
"Ma'am, are you alright?" Qiu Xiyang did not enter the inner room, but only stayed in the outer room.
"Little general, it's too late for you to come." Jing Chuchu slowly walked out of the inner room, leaning on the wooden door frame that connected the inner room and the outside, and his tone was lazy and mocking, "It's so cold, go back to sleep." β
"You ......" Qiu Xiyang stalked his neck and almost made a move.
"What are you?" Jing Chuchu took his words, looked him up and down, rubbed his earlobes and said, "You can't beat me, you can't talk about me, and you still stay here to humiliate yourself?" β
Qiu Xiyang blushed angrily and rushed out of the door.
Jing Chuchu leaned back and smiled because of his embarrassed appearance.
"Chu Chu, don't bully the deputy general." Lime couldn't help but laugh.
Since the two met, Qiu Xiyang has been so angry with Jing Chuchu's words every day that his face is red and his neck is thick.
"The next time you make a light move, make such a big move and startle me." Lime returned to the table and picked up the round stool that had awakened her.
"Isn't this round stool kicked over by the county lord? I was awakened by it, too. Jing Chuchu said innocently.
"When it fell, Xu Ziyue was five feet away from it......" Lime said firmly, and then she remembered something, and her eyes drifted to the roof.
"Impossible, if the general is here, can Xu Ziyue be allowed to get in?" Jing Chuchu raised his eyelids with Lime's gaze, and immediately dismissed Lime's speculation.
"Also, if he is here, Xu Ziyue will not be able to enter." Lime nodded discommitually, blew out the lamp, put the matter behind her, and went back to bed.
When there was no movement below and it was completely quiet, Qiu Chulin closed his eyes again.
On the day of the wedding, the lime got up very early, bathed and changed clothes, and dressed up.
Six or seven maids from Su Yan's marriage to Shuochu surrounded her, waited for her to take a bath, and then methodically added clothes to her one by one.
In addition to being busy, I don't forget to make fun of her.
"Princess, you are so beautiful today, if the colt sees you, he will definitely be taken away by you, and he will be kind to you with all his heart."
Lime cooperated in putting on her wedding dress, and let the two maids arrange her dress.
What the maid said reminded Lime of the day Qiu Chulin first appeared in the carriage, and he was dressed like this, but he didn't see him lose his soul to himself as the maid said.
"He's different from ordinary men, he has a furrow in his chest, how can he be captured by a mortal thing like a skin, he won't be as ...... as you say" Lime thought for a long time, and finally came up with a word, "...... Lose face. β
Later, Lime thought back carefully, and when she said this, she was probably embarrassed in her heart that he had not been embarrassed to herself as the maid said.
In fact, she didn't know that the moment Qiu Chulin lifted the hijab, he was really amazed by her sleeping face, and he stared at her greedily for a long time before he would retract his gaze from her.
He did throw a mess at her, but she was asleep.
Jing Chuchu stood aside with her arms crossed, looking at the intricate lime in the bronze mirror, and felt tired for her.
"Princess, this hairpin slave has been trying for a long time, but I really feel a little cumbersome, why don't we wear it?" The maid who combed and braided the lime's hair held the crescent moon in her hand and gestured back and forth on the lime's head several times, but could not find a suitable place for the crescent.
"That thing is a sharp weapon, I don't know how much blood it has stained, the princess still doesn't wear it today, it's unlucky." Jing Chuchu took the crescent moon from the maid's hand, put it in her sleeve, and didn't give Lime a chance to refute, "I'll keep it for you, and I'll give it to you in a few days." β
"Okay." Lime nodded, it is true that the weapon of hurting people should not appear on their wedding, "You take it carefully, don't hurt yourself." β
The maid who combed her hair naturally didn't understand why a hairpin that looked so ordinary had become a sharp weapon in the master's mouth. But the master's business, naturally, is not what she should ask, "Okay, is the princess still satisfied with it?" β
"Well, that's fine." Lime looked at herself in the mirror and nodded with satisfaction, "You guys have worked hard today, pick whatever gadgets you like on the table." β
The maids thanked each other and picked out an ornament on the table, and then exited the room.
There was the sound of firecrackers in the distance outside the door, Jing Chuchu picked up the Xipa and put it on Lime's head, took her arm and got up, and said with relief, "Old girl, your Ruyi Langjun has finally come to pick you up." β
Old girl.
Lime shook her head, she was indeed an old girl, and an ordinary woman was as big as her, and children could get into trouble everywhere.
"Chu Chu, you are getting bigger and smaller." Lime held her arm and said helplessly.
"You have, if you take that broken medicine again, your mind will be similar to that of a child." Jing Chuchu led her out, and did not forget to sarcastically mock her, "In the future, I will have to look at you like a child." β
"The medicine has been consumed, the effect of the medicine lasts for a few months, and I will not take it again." Lime Road.
"Master." Jing Chuchu stopped in front of the door, she took Lime's hand, and the dark tide surged under the calm voice, "When I first saw you, you were arrogant and resolute, rejecting people for thousands of miles, although you are a little unkind, but no one needs to worry about your safety. Now although you have made yourself like this, you are much more approachable, and wisdom will hurt, and it may be a good thing that you are like this now. β
"Master", this long-lost title reminded Lime, "Chu Chu, you have never been a servant, you are free to stay with me, you don't have to work hard for me, you can leave at any time." β
"Since I have decided to follow you, I will not go." Jing Chuchu helped her carefully cross the threshold, walked down the steps, and said, "General Qiu is a person worthy of trust, no matter what reason you marry him, try to accept him, spread your heart, and try to let him live in." β
Lime pursed her thin lips, and a faint flush crept up on her face.
"This time, it's really married."
She said softly.
