The heart has a place to rest, and it has nothing to do with the wind and the moon
The big red candles, the big red curtains, the big red happy characters and the beaming smiling faces of everyone.
Su Jin pinched the big red apple, rubbed it casually on the placket, and was about to bite it when she opened her mouth, but was snatched by the fast-eyed Xi Niang, and said to her blamefully.
"Mother, don't eat indiscriminately!"
Su Jin closed her mouth and scratched her face, "Isn't the wedding at dusk?" Why do you wake up so early? ”
"Niangniang, look at what you said," the Xi Niang put the food far away, and turned her head and said, "The ceremony will last for a day, and every step must come according to the auspicious time, not a moment earlier, not a moment later, if you don't get up early, how can you finish the process?" ”
Su Jin pursed her lips and yawned heavily.
Peach is redder today than in the past, a small lip is coated with I don't know how much lipstick, the whole person is busy in the house with white teeth, seeing Su Jin's extremely imageless appearance, he hurriedly went up to remind her, "Niangniang, pay attention to the image!" ”
Su Jin rolled her eyes, feeling more and more that she would have more and more restrictions after getting married.
"Su Jin." Jun Ran suddenly walked in, with a simplely dressed nun, and smiled at Su Jin, "I have a surprise for you." ”
"Surprise? What surprises? Su Jin suddenly became interested, poked her little head out, and looked expectant.
"Zhikong congratulates the donor on his newlyweds." Although the nun was old, she had a kind face, looked at Su Jin with her hands folded, and smiled slightly, "The old nun was entrusted by the old man to send a congratulatory gift, please retire." ”
"The deceased?" Su Jin hurriedly returned the salute and motioned for everyone to go out first, until only she, Zhikong and Jun Ran were the only people in the room who spoke with some doubts, "I don't know which one of the old people you are talking about?" ”
"Liu Xiaofen, Lord Liu is also." Zhikong bowed slightly. "Lord Liu will save a little money for you here every year, and she said that she would come to get it in person, but the heavens do not fulfill people's wishes......"
She also sighed, and her voice was a little gloomy, "Since Lord Liu Shi can't go to the appointment, the poor nun will do it for her, and send it for her when you get married, just as a mother's heart, she said that no matter who you marry in the end, you can't miss the silver to make a body, this has 100,000 taels of silver, which is the life of Lord Liu, please be sure to manage it well, don't be looked down upon by your in-laws." ”
Zhikong took out a silver ticket and a letter from his arms, and presented it with both hands, "This is a silver ticket, plus a letter, which was entrusted in the past, and now it is returned to the original owner." ”
Su Jin's eyelashes trembled, her hand trembled a little, and she took it.
The silver ticket was new, she touched it lovingly, stretched out her hand to pick open the envelope, and opened the letter.
There were only a few words on the letter, which were Liu Xiaofen's familiar handwriting, although the content was very short, but Su Jin immediately turned her head and covered her face after seeing the words.
There were only four words on the letter: "Live well." ”
Her fingertips pinched the letter, as if she could touch Liu Xiaofen's thoughts that day.
Live well.
What a simple four words, but how many deep friendships are buried between the lines?
The whimpering sound came intermittently, and Zhikong's eyes also carried some pity, bowed silently, and turned to leave.
Su Jin didn't turn her face again, tears instantly wet her makeup, Jun Ran sighed, and wanted to put on her shoulder to comfort her with some emotion, but he still hesitated for a moment, lowered his hand, and stood beside her.
"Su Jin......"
"Don't persuade me, let me stay by myself for a while." Su Jin interrupted him, "I'm fine. ”
Jun Ran had no choice but to remain silent.
After a while, Su Jin swollen her eyes, turned her face to him and smiled embarrassedly, neatly put the letter and silver ticket in the box, and called the bride to come in to touch up her makeup.
As soon as the bride entered the house and saw Su Jin's face full of makeup, she immediately grabbed the sky, and hurriedly pinched the small makeup box to make up Su Jin.
Because of the destruction of the Guogong Mansion, Xiao Yan asked Su Jin to marry from the Jin Palace, and such a familiar environment made Su Jin feel a little nervous.
She doesn't have to be like the previous queens, who was carried into the palace alone in a wedding sedan chair - although it should be the case according to the etiquette system, but His Majesty Xiao, the new king who is also maverick, didn't care at all, and insisted on coming to pick it up in person, which caused an uproar in the court, and felt that it was very dangerous for the lord of a country to rush out of the palace, but His Majesty Xiao ignored it, and only said lightly in the court, "Whoever can beat me, I will stand up and speak", which immediately made them stop.
Well, this His Majesty is the first in martial arts, they don't have much to say.
So today, Xiao Yan and all the newlywed ordinary men in this world generally rode the high-headed horse, carrying those carefully prepared bride price, and "da-da-da" towards the location of their beloved woman.
"Quick! It's time to fire! Xi Niang's ears were pointed, and she quickly covered Su Jin's hijab, "Niangniang, get up quickly!" ”
Because Su Jin had no brothers, Jun Ran took the initiative to take on the task of giving the marriage, and after Su Jin stepped out of the door, he stood at the foot of the steps and stretched out his hand to her.
Under the hijab, Su Jin's lips bent slightly, and he let him lead him out of the courtyard, stepped on the red carpet and sent it to the door, and took a step in front of the mansion, and smiled a little relieved at Xiao Yan's eyes who turned over and dismounted in front of him.
He stretched out his hand and put Su Jin's hand in the palm that Xiao Yan handed him.
Su Jin felt the slightly rough touch of the palm, and before she could react, and then her feet were empty, she exclaimed, and subconsciously hugged Xiao Yan's neck, and this action instantly made the people around her start to coax, Su Jin's face was slightly hot, and she caught a glimpse of Xiao Yan's grinning mouth from the gap in the hijab.
She was stuffed into the sedan chair by Xiao Yan, and then felt that the sedan chair was lifted, she let out a long breath of relief, her fingers pinched the corners of her skirt, and she still struggled a little in her heart.
Is that kind of deep palace compound really suitable for you?
It turned out that when she was in love, she could not think about this problem, but now that she really wants to get married, she begins to struggle again.
She didn't want to be the canary in the cage, she didn't want to be trapped by the deep palace wall, if she didn't love Xiao Yan, she would have fled early, but she couldn't bear him.
They have gone through so much to get to where they are today, and she doesn't want to give up like this.
The sedan chair slowly slowed down, and the cheers and noise in her ears gradually disappeared, Su Jin guessed that the carriage had probably driven into the palace, listening to the silence around her, she was inexplicably a little scared.
Are you going to spend the rest of your life here? Will it be that from now on, they will be isolated from the outside world, and their daily life can only live like those walking corpses of lonely women in the deep palace?
The sedan chair gradually stopped, and Su Jin felt the light and shadow in front of her through the hijab, and then a big hand reached over and stopped steadily in front of her.
The palm of the hand was flat, the fingers were slender, the fingertips were rounded, and the nails were trimmed to the right length, and they were stopping in front of her at the moment, waiting for her.
This is Xiao Yan's hand.
Su Jin didn't move.
She was thinking.
The air around him suddenly became a little tense. The ceremonial officer swallowed and foamed at the mouth and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
This is the first time he has been an official for so many years that he has met the emperor to help the queen get off the sedan chair in person, and it is also the first time that the queen has hesitated in front of such an honor.
Su Jin didn't notice it, and still held her hands.
Xiao Yan didn't seem to be in a hurry, her hand still stopped steadily in front of her, as if she was waiting for an answer.
"Daddy, why doesn't my mother get out of the sedan chair?" Lu Ruyi hid behind Lu Jun and asked him in a puzzled whisper, "Didn't you say that the bride has to get off the sedan chair?" ”
Lu Jun touched her head and didn't answer, but her eyes were a little complicated.
After a while, Xiao Yan's palm warmed, he lowered his eyes, looked at the little hand that was suddenly on his palm, smiled gently and lovingly, tightened his palm, and gently led her out of the sedan chair.
"Welcome to the Queen!" The ceremonial officer hurriedly spoke, for fear that Su Jin would be upset and get back into the sedan chair, "Kneel!" ”
Everyone kowtowed, Xiao Yan took her hand and stepped forward.
Su Jin hesitated, but still spoke, "Xiao Yan......"
"Jin'er, raise your eyes." Xiao Yan suddenly spoke up and interrupted her.
Su Jin subconsciously raised her eyes to look, but she couldn't see anything except the red and glamorous hijab.
"What do you want me to see?" She said suspiciously, "I can't see this hijab in my aesthetics." ”
"Yes." Xiao Yan spoke softly amid the praise of the ceremonial officials and the exclamations of the officials, "Only by taking it off can you see the road ahead." ”
Su Jin didn't understand what he meant by these inexplicable words, and he couldn't see his expression at the moment, and when he was racking his brains to think about it, he heard Xiao Yan's voice again.
"Jin'er, this hijab blocks your eyes, you will be afraid, nervous, doubtful, and uncertain, but this hijab will eventually be removed, and you will see the scene in front of you clearly. Our coming days will be like the scenery that is hidden behind the hijab, and I hope you will not fear it. ”
Su Jin's body trembled, but Xiao Yan signed her tighter.
"Jin'er, I know what you're worried about, but I'm afraid that the high red wall will lock all the scenery in your life. But I won't let you live like those deep palace women, so don't be afraid, marry me with peace of mind. ”
Su Jin suddenly burst into tears.
What she was most afraid of was that Xiao Yan didn't understand her fear, so that the two would have disagreements in the future, but now, now...... He was so considerate and understood her, how could she not be moved?
On her side, Xiao Yan felt the tears of the girl beside her, and gently pinched her fingertips, "Don't cry, it's not good to look ugly if you cry." ”
"It's too late," Su Jin replied to him with a sob, "My eyes are already swollen." ”
"Well, I like you like that." Xiao Yan came back to the words, and took her to stand in the center of the palace, and his originally low voice suddenly raised, and he spoke with his full of friendship.
"Su Jin, I love you."
Su Jin was stunned, raised her head, and laughed out loud in everyone's incredulous and somewhat expected silence, and then she also spoke.
"Xiao Yan, I love you too."
She suddenly felt that her life should not be bad in the future.
Anyway, he figured it out, if he dared to treat her badly, he would take the silver given by his mother and go out to wave!
She smiled, and suddenly began to look forward to a better life in the future.
On one side, Yang Liuyue finally burst into tears, Xiao Ze watched silently, but handed her the handkerchief in his hand, Lu Jun hooked the corners of his lips, touched Lu Ruyi's head, lowered his eyes and spoke softly.
"Ruyi, don't want it in the future...... Call her mother again. ”
Lu Ruyi heard a bit of bitterness in his voice, nodded as if he didn't understand, hesitated for a moment and spoke, "Then what's my name?" ”
"She's the most honorable woman in our Great Wei," Lu Jun raised his eyes to look at them, "You're going to call her the queen mother." ”
Lu Ruyi pursed his lips, "In my eyes, my father is also the most noble man!" ”
Lu Jun's heart warmed, and she suddenly laughed out loud and pinched her little face.
Su Jin, I finally believe that every road taken in this life has a reason why it has to trek like that.
Bless you.
