"Ruyi rouge shop?"

The wind was gusting, shaking the red lanterns hanging outside the rouge shop. In the orange-red halo, stood a young man in a robe dressed as a Republic of China costume.

The man looked up, staring at the words on the plaque, with a smile on his face and an unusual madness in his eyes.

"Hey, do you only sell rouge gouache in this shop?"

Xing Ruyi held the cat in one hand and shook the fan in the other, curling out of the rouge shop. looked at the man's eyes, the tails of his eyes rose slightly, and said, "What Mr. wants, I have it in this shop." ”

"I want a bowl of heart-warming crucian carp soup, do you have that in this shop?"

"Yes, yes, but it's not for sale." Xing Ruyi showed the man his hand: "I'm a good cook, and I happen to make this heart-warming crucian carp soup." ”

"I don't know how the shopkeeper is willing to sell? No matter what the asking price is, I buy it. ”

"No matter how much it costs?" Xing Ruyi stared at the man's eyes: "What if I want your three souls and six souls?" ”

The man was stunned for a moment, looked at Xing Ruyi and smiled: "It's okay, as long as she is satisfied, my three souls and six spirits, the shopkeeper can take it." ”

"Scare you, I'm doing business in this netherworld, and I'm not a monster that eats people's souls, what do I want your three souls and six spirits to do."

"The shopkeeper also knows that this is a netherworld, but he doesn't know why he wants to open a rouge shop here."

"The years of the underworld are long, and you must always find something for yourself that you can do, what you can do, and what you are willing to do." Xing Ruyi sighed softly: "I open a rouge shop, but what I sell is not necessarily rouge gouache." If you want crucian carp soup, you can exchange it for your own story. ”

"My story is long, shopkeeper, would you like to hear it?"

"I'm not doing anything, just listening to a story." Xing Ruyi stretched out his hand and welcomed the man into the shop: "I'll make soup, Mr. will tell the story, how about it?" ”

The man looked at Xing Ruyi, smiled slightly, and nodded slightly.

The man's story is very long, probably starting from the second year of the Republic of China......

If you wake up early and have a sunny day, it will be cloudy when you say that it is cloudy. In an instant, the wind and rain were blowing, and lightning and thunder followed, enveloping the small courtyard near the south bank in a flickering light and darkness.

The matchmaker Sanniang stood in front of the door with red silk, looking up at the sky, and the folds on her face became deeper and deeper. She has been a matchmaker since she was twenty-three years old, and roughly calculated, she has been a matchmaker for twenty years. I have experienced a lot of red things, and I have encountered a lot of bad weather, but it is the first time that I have experienced such a scene.

"Girl, this is really good to ask Mr. Zhang from the village head to calculate?"

A bolt of lightning pierced the air and landed on Sanniang's pleated face. She was so frightened that she hurriedly took a half step back, almost throwing away the red silk in her hand. Gaze panned, through the low courtyard wall, looking into the distance. On the other side of the South River are layers of mountains, and the mountains are full of black clouds.

After waiting for a while, the bride didn't answer, so she turned around with her chest and asked, "If the girl is really picked by Mr. Zhang at the head of the village this day, the girl can't get around her." This bride went out, that one was not sunny and beautiful, even if it was rainy, it was in a hurry and passed. It's like today's weather, so scary. ”

"It will be sunny, since Mr. Zhang calculated it, then it can't be wrong."

The bride sat in front of the mirror, her body was upright, and when Sanniang got up early, she was in this posture, and she didn't know whether she was tired or not.

What the girl said is that God will take care of this good day. It's just that the team to greet the relatives is afraid that they will be delayed on the road, and the girl doesn't have to be nervous, she can rest. This wedding ceremony, my Sanniang has seen a lot, and it is all outsiders watching the excitement, and I am tired. Sanniang said, walked behind the bride, and helped her straighten her hair. Look at the girl in this mirror, how beautiful it is, if your father and mother are still alive, I don't know how happy I should be. ”

"yes, it's a pity they can't see it."

The bride responded lightly, and a blurred face was reflected in the bronze mirror.

Sanniang is also a person with children, and when she heard the bride's words, she inevitably felt in her heart, and then gave birth to a bit of bitterness. She sighed quietly, leaned down, and shook the bride's hand. The bride's hands were cold, as if they had been soaked in well water all day long. As soon as I grasped it, I let it go.

"Let me Sanniang say more, girl, since you invited Sanniang, I will be the matchmaker. Today, I am the only one who sends the girl away from home, and it is our fate. This marriage is a happy event, but when you become a parent, you are an adult, and you are the daughter-in-law of someone else's family. It doesn't matter how the girl lives alone, when she arrives at someone else's house, she must learn to please, learn to endure, and learn to get along with her husband and in-laws. Sanniang's words, girl, don't like to listen to them, this is all the experience that Sanniang has summed up for half her life. No matter how good your in-laws are, they are always not their own parents, and they still have to maintain the proportion. No matter how much the husband spoils, he can't be too much, after all, this heart is not in the same stomach, and it is always impossible to be wrong when encountering three points of forbearance. If the girl adds three points of care, three points of please, and one point of coquettishness, the days to come will be smooth, happy, and sweet. ”

Sanniang is kind-hearted, but she feels sorry for the bride alone, and even when she goes out of the cabinet, she is cold. But the bride didn't seem to care, and she didn't care about what Sanniang said. Her eyes were cold, and there was a chill in her eyes.

After another half an hour, the wind and rain outside suddenly stopped, and the thunder and lightning also stopped. The sun squeezed out of the dark clouds with difficulty, and reluctantly cast a warm light into the small courtyard. The matchmaker Sanniang's face finally had a hint of joy.

After a while, the sound of blowing and blowing was close, and Sanniang hurriedly put the red silk in her hand on the girl's head, and helped the girl to stand up: "Girl, listen to this voice, I'm afraid that the groom is coming." ”

Under the red silk, the corners of the girl's mouth were slightly raised, but for a moment, they were flattened again.

The groom's official was born with a graceful and suave body, and at this moment he was dressed and sat on a tall horse, making him look more and more handsome. The neighbors left and right, those who originally planned to come out to see the joke, after seeing the huge pomp and circumstance of the welcoming party, they were a little envious.

"Hey, have you heard, this groom official is the son of the Yue family in the provincial capital, and he came back from studying abroad."

"The Yue family, is it a Yue family that can eat both black and white?"

"It's that Yue family!"

"That's a big family." The onlookers let out a burst of surprise: "Although I don't pay as much attention to the family as in the past, no matter how I look at it, no matter how I think about it, I think that this Yue family shouldn't look down on this lonely Xue girl." ”

"I heard that it was Xue Zhiwei who deliberately hooked up with his son-in-law."

"What I've heard is different from what you've heard. I heard that it was this father-in-law who fell in love with Zhiwei at first sight, and even the family affairs that he had originally said were withdrawn, and those who were tired of life had to marry her back. This old man and his wife, although they were full of reluctance, couldn't screw this son's idea, so they could only be forced to agree. If you want me to say, marrying into a big family is not necessarily a good thing, some people have a thin life, even if they are blessed, they may not be able to enjoy it, it is better to marry a banker like us. Three meals a day, although it is simpler, can be eaten steadily. ”

"That's what I'm saying, this person is most afraid of having no fate, and if he can meet wealth, he may not be able to enjoy wealth. Don't look at her current scenery, the hard days are still to come. Come on, let's not look here, she saw it, and thought we were red-eyed. ”

"Look at what you said, you don't blush."

"The eyes are red, the old lady is living a comfortable life. Although the man is not as good-looking as her, he knows the cold and the hot. What does it matter if there is more money and less money, my man has 100 yuan, and he can give me 99 yuan. Her man, even if he has a room of gold, is not necessarily willing to give her one. People, you have to understand how much you are worth, you have to understand how many pounds and taels you have. ”

"Okay, okay, as far as your mouth can say, your voice is quieter, in case she hears it, and then blows the pillow wind in the ears of your son-in-law at night, you and the man in your family will be unlucky."

"I'm afraid she won't make it." The woman spoke, but her voice lowered.

In the midst of everyone's discussions, the matchmaker Sanniang helped the bride out of the dilapidated hut. From the moment she stepped out of the house, the groom's eyes never took his eyes off her.

Seeing that she was about to walk out of the courtyard, the groom turned over handsomely, got off the horse, followed up to the bride, and reached out to pick her up.

The red silk moves with the wind, revealing a perfectly curved chin. The corners of the bridegroom's mouth suddenly raised.

"You stay still, I'm going to carry you to the sedan chair."

The bride did not say a word, but buried her head in the breast of the bridegroom.

The sedan chair was carried by eight people, and it was not said that in this rural place, even if it was put in the provincial capital, it was extremely generous. When the bride was put into the sedan chair, she reached out and grabbed the sleeve of the groom's official. She asked, "You will marry me today, but you are sincere?" ”

"Nature is solid."

"For the rest of your life, you won't fail me?"

"I won't fail you."

"Will only spoil me, take care of me, and will not bully me?"

"I will only spoil you, take care of you, and will not bully you."

"Okay, I remember what you said today, and I hope you don't forget it." The bride let go of her hand: "I am a small-hearted person, and I love more seriously, I will remember everything you say." ”

"You know I'm true to you. Well, if you don't believe me, you can probe my heart, you can ask my heart to see if I am the only one in my heart, and ask if it will fail you. ”

The groom's official went to pull the bride's hand, but the bride avoided him.

She said, "I believe in you." ”

"Believe me." The bridegroom took half a step back, lowered the sedan curtain, and turned to mount his horse.

The sound of blowing and beating started again, and in the sedan chair, the bride tore off the red silk cloth covering her head. She listened to the voices outside, and there was no expression on her face.
