Xue Dingshan followed Liu Ruyan up the stairs, and the maids standing on both sides saw their brothers and sisters coming, and hurriedly lifted the bamboo curtain and said, "Please come to the hall with my uncle." ”

Liu Ruyan led Xue Dingshan all the way into the house.

Xue Dingshan came indoors, raised his eyes and looked into the room. I saw that the room was already red and very festive. In the middle of the north wall, there is an incense case, and above the incense case, there is a shrine of the ancestors of the Fan family, offering all kinds of offerings, and the cigarette smoke is swirling. The maids and maids below stood in a row on both sides with their wings lined up, and none of them dared to speak out. Although there were many people in the room, it seemed very quiet.

Fan Lihua folded her hands on her lap and sat quietly on the edge of the bed with her head bowed silently. Today, she changed her light makeup and wrap and changed into a full-body dress. He wore a light cyan cardigan; Covered with a wide-sleeved silk brocade embroidered double partridge gold gown in emerald blue; Autumn fragrance embroidered acacia with double bow; tied around the waist with a light cyan cloud crepe sprinkled flower Bafu skirt; Autumn fragrance color embroidered acacia mandarin duck shawl tied on top of the dress around the side; On his feet was a pair of new shoes embroidered and tillian satin. The mandarin duck is embroidered with colorful silk threads hanging down from the head. The face is not visible clearly under the cover of the clouds. Xue Yulian, Dou Yuxian, and Cao Xiuluan all gathered around Fan Lihua and held her hand, telling her something.

At this time, Xue Dingshan couldn't say what it was like in his heart. walked through the crowd, came inside, bowed down and gave Xue Yulian a salute, and said, "Sister." ”

Xue Yulian looked at him, and there were too many words to tell in her heart, but it was difficult to say it in front of so many people, so the words reached the tip of her tongue and swallowed again. said, "Go and burn a stick of incense for your uncle." Xue Dingshan nodded and said, "Little brother obeys." After speaking, he turned around and came to the front of the incense case. Shuangyan hurriedly took four sticks of incense and lit them on the red candle, turned around and handed them to Xue Dingshan's hand. Xue Dingshan took the incense with both hands, raised it above his head, and bowed down. The incense is then respectfully inserted into the incense burner. After taking a few steps back, Shuangyan hurriedly took the mat and placed it in front of him. Xue Dingshan pushed Jin Shan to kneel down and bowed four times. Xue Yulian also returned four bows as the main family next to her. After worshipping, they each got up.

Dou Yuxian and Cao Xiuluan held a peach tree branch wrapped in a red rope and dusted Xue Dingshan's body a few times to show their son-in-law.

Xue Yulian then pulled Xue Dingshan back to Fan Lihua's side. Said softly to Fan Lihua: "Aunt Ning, it's time." Let's go. As he spoke, he used his hands to help Fan Lihua. Fan Lihua didn't dodge, and slowly stood up with Xue Yulian's support.

Xue Yulian took Fan Lihua's hand, turned around and said to Xue Dingshan: "Yunfeng, I have entrusted my most beloved little sister to you. From now on she will be your wife, you, you can do it yourself. As he spoke, he took Xue Dingshan's hand again and slowly put Fan Lihua's hand in his hand.

As soon as Xue Dingshan touched Fan Lihua's hand, he felt that her hand was obviously a little thin, and there was some slight trembling, and her palms were full of cold sweat. "Alas!" Xue Dingshan's heart couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart, as if he had broken a five-flavor bottle, the sweet, sour, bitter and salty sourness surged into his heart, and he couldn't help but hold Fan Lihua's hand tightly.

Fan Lihua kept her head down and sat on the edge of the bed nervously. Because the head is covered with a canopy, the scene in the room cannot be seen. Hearing Liu Ruyan say that Xue Dingshan had come in, Fan Lihua's heart suddenly shook, and her nose involuntarily soured. But she held back the tears and listened quietly to the movement in the room. Hearing Xue Dingshan's few words, he was very calm, and there was nothing abnormal, so he was slightly relieved. Hearing Xue Yulian say that the time was up, and helping her with both hands, Fan Lihua slowly stood up under her support. Xue Yulian put her hand into Xue Dingshan's hand, and Xue Dingshan did not mean to dodge, but held her hand tightly. Fan Lihua didn't know why, and suddenly it seemed that she had finally found someone to talk to after being wronged, and tears immediately welled up in her eyes. Afraid of getting wet makeup, he hurriedly gritted his silver teeth and barely let the tears fall.

Xue Dingshan gently held Fan Lihua's arm with his other hand, and said in a low voice, "Let's go." Fan Lihua turned around and slowly walked outside with the support of Xue Dingshan. When he was about to walk to the door, Xue Dingshan turned around and looked at Xue Yulian again.

Xue Yulian was also looking at him. The two sisters and brothers looked at each other and wanted to talk. Xue Yulian slowly raised her hand, waved it gently, and suddenly turned her head back and said, "Let's go." There was a hint of choking in his voice.

Xue Dingshan looked at his sister, and suddenly felt sad in his heart. Fan Lihua, who was beside him, heard Xue Yulian's "Let's go". His body trembled slightly, and there seemed to be a slight choking sound. Xue Dingshan gritted his teeth, turned around and helped Fan Lihua to continue walking. Yun Lan hurriedly caught up and took a step forward and supported Fan Lihua on the right.

Diao Yue'e saw Xue Dingshan helping Fan Lihua to go out, so she hurriedly stepped out of the door and came to the bottom of the steps to reply to Cheng Yanjin.

Diao Yue'e hurriedly walked in front of Cheng Yanjin and said, "Fourth grandfather, Xue Shizi and the young lady have come out. ”

Cheng Yanjin heard Diao Yue'e say that the newcomer had come out, and hurriedly ordered the attendant next to him and said, "Go quickly, go and let the coachman drive the float to the bottom of the steps outside the courtyard gate and wait." ”

"Yes. Old Chitose. The attendant hurriedly agreed and hurried out. Outside the courtyard gate, he said, "Hurry up and pull the newcomer's float." The newcomer is coming out. When the whip-bearer heard the call, he did not dare to slack off, but hurriedly led the horses to the bottom of the steps in front of the courtyard.

Twelve little maids dressed in red led the way in front, Xue Dingshan was on the left, Yun Lan was on the right, and Fan Lihua was on the right, and slowly walked out of the door amid the melodious sound of sheng flute music and ginger whiskers, and the chanting of Qin Ying and others' hypnotic poems.

Jiang Xu saw them come out, and as soon as he waved his hand, Xu Qing, Qin Ying and the others stopped chanting the hypnotic poem. Jiang Xu hurriedly said to the maid who came with him: "Hurry up and go out, go and open the curtain of the float." Prepare to welcome the couple to board the float. The two little maids did not dare to slack off when they heard Jiang Xu's instructions, and hurriedly trotted all the way out of the courtyard gate, until they came to the front of the float. One opened the curtains, and the other placed the footstool. Respectfully stood on both sides and waited for Fan Lihua to come out.
