Chapter 13: Ten Miles of Red Makeup
"It's not too late, let's rest early." General Xu said to the butler standing beside him, "Old Wu, take Mr. He and his sister to the guest hall to rest." ”
"Yes, sir." After Steward Wu finished speaking, he led us to the guest hall.
After Steward Wu left, I walked out of the house, it was quiet outside, the night was like a huge net, enveloping the whole heaven and earth, the moon hanging in the sky and the twinkling stars, as if laughing or something, but added a lot of vitality to the late night. The bright moonlight reflected on the ground through the dense leaves, forming patches of bright spots, and occasionally a gust of wind blew over, blowing the leaves and moving the bright spots on the ground in all directions.
I heard a sound of the door opening, and when I looked back, it turned out to be Sui'er, and she didn't sleep, so when she saw me, she walked towards me, "Brother, you didn't sleep either." ”
"I can't sleep, come out and look at the scenery."
"What kind of scenery are you looking at in the middle of the night?"
"Late at night is the most beautiful time! Look at this moonlight, how soft it is. I looked at Sui'er as I spoke, "Sui'er, do you like Xu Gongzi?" ”
The night was hazy, and I couldn't see if Sui'er's face was flushed, but she should have been shy, and her hands holding her chin suddenly opened to cover her face, "How can there be?" ”
"Don't lie to me, what else is there to hide from my brother? Take your hands off and I'll see if your face is red again. ”
"Hehe, brother, how do you know that I like Xu Gongzi?" Sui'er let out a crisp laugh.
"Don't you know what your face is blushing at the dinner table?" When I thought of Sui'er's delicate appearance, I couldn't help but laugh.
"Brother, do you think he will dislike me?"
"My sister is so good-looking, what does he dislike about you?"
"After all, General Xu's family is a wealthy nobleman, and I am an unknown little girl, and I was abducted and sold into a brothel.
Sui'er slowly lowered her head, and after a while she slowly spoke, "Brother, to tell you the truth, I was originally a fairy grass, I have practiced for thousands of years, just as I was about to enter the immortal path, I fell in love with a human boy, and later found Che Mazhi's predecessor with the help of Brother Da Chun, and turned into this appearance, just to find this human boy." ”
"He's Xu Gongzi?" I suddenly remembered the appearance of the teenager I saw that day, no wonder I had a sense of familiarity when I first saw Xu Chengtong, so it was.
"That's right! Brother, aren't you surprised by my identity? Sui'er asked suspiciously.
"Sui'er, no matter what your identity is, you are my sister, and I will keep this secret for you!" I pretended to be mysterious and said, "Actually, I was transformed by Otsubaki." ”
"What? Are you Brother Tsubaki? How did you become humanoid too? Are you looking for a human woman? Hee-hee-hee, I'll just say, how did it feel like you were familiar from the beginning. ”
"Haha, I can't think of it, after you left, I asked Che Mazhi to transform into a human form for me, just because I was worried that you would be in danger, and sure enough, you look at how many things have happened in the past few days."
"Thanks to my brother, hehe." Sui'er smiled, and suddenly became nervous again, "Brother, what do you say General Xu would do if he knew our identity?" Will Xu Gongzi still look up to me? ”
"Sui'er, don't worry, you remember what I said now, my name is He Chun, you are my sister He Sui'er, our parents died when we were young, lonely, thanks to a kind grandmother who adopted us and raised us as adults, but unfortunately the grandmother died a year ago, by chance, our brother and sister came here. Sui'er, do you remember? ”
"Your name is He Chun, my name is He Sui'er, we have been lonely since we were children......, our parents died," Sui'er repeated in a low voice, "Okay, I remember." ”
"That'll do, that's fine." I took out Sui'er's "deed of sale" from my arms and tore it to shreds.
"Brother, what are you doing? Although this is all fake, it was bought for 200 punshells after all. Sui'er looked stunned.
"You know it's fake, why do you want it?"
"But didn't the old witch say it? Without it, I would have been caught by the government after eating. ”
"Official? Does the government dare not look at General Xu's face? Nothing to worry about. ”
"Okay then."
"It's not too early, let's go back to bed." I reached out and touched Sui'er's head.
Xu Shisui has little experience in the world, and she seems to be a little uneaten, so naturally she can't talk about how smart she is, and it is precisely because of this that she has more innocence.
In the Xu family, Sui'er is very diligent, and he is busy with his subordinates, General Xu and Xu Gongzi have repeatedly dissuaded, saying that they can't snub the distinguished guests, but Sui'er still does her own meager help for the Xu family, which also wins the favor of the Xu family.
One day, General Xu said intentionally or unintentionally: "Miss He and Xu Cheng are of the same age, one is unmarried, the other is unmarried, I look at the two of them are also suitable, and they are both affectionate and righteous to each other, Xu Cheng has praised Miss He in front of me more than once!" It's better to make a couple and choose an auspicious day to get married. ”
"Dad, what you said was too hasty, this matter is not in a hurry, and it depends on what Miss He means." Xu Cheng said, his eyes skimming to Sui'er.
Sui'er's shy personality turned red again, and she didn't speak for a long time, but I guess she must have blossomed in her heart.
"Miss He, this is shy, haha!" General Xu smiled heartily, "Then what is Mr. He's opinion?" The eldest brother is like a father. ”
"Lang has a concubine who is interested, I have no opinion!" That being said, I really don't feel good.
Their marriage was set for the "Flower Dynasty Festival".
When General Xu asked Sui'er about her age, he asked her birthday by the way, and I casually said that it was the second day of the second month of February, who would have thought that the festival of the hundred flowers was on this day, so they agreed to set the marriage on the second day of the second month of February.
On the day of the wedding, the inside and outside of the Xu Mansion were full of red lanterns, red makeup for ten miles, carriages lined up from the street to the end of the street, orderly, and even every tree within ten miles was covered with carmine veils. The green leaves, the bright red veil, and the golden sunlight intermingle with each other, making it as beautiful as a fairyland.
The veil was several meters long, hanging down from the tree, and occasionally a breeze blew, making the leaves rustle, and the veil on the tree also danced, adding a sense of aura.
The road was full of people watching the excitement, all wanting to see this grand wedding banquet, to see the bride's demeanor, and to see what kind of handsome girl married into the Xu Mansion. The soldiers who maintained order on the road also stood in a large line, surrounding the crowd like an artificial barrier.
Sui'er has been dressed up - her waterfall-like black hair hangs down to her waist, there is a strand of bangs in front of her forehead, and the hair on it is coiled up into a "flying phoenix bun", and there are long colorful phoenix steps on both sides, colorful pearls and jade are shining, and she moves gently, and the colorful phoenix steps are slowly swaying, and she is full of color.
Sui'er was wearing a peach blossom cloud and mist robe, on which the opening screen inlaid with jewels was vivid. She is covered with an emerald green smoke gauze floral skirt, and her waist is tied with a rain-swept azure soft cigarette.
Sui'er's forehead is painted with a little forehead yellow, pink thrush, rouge moisturizing lips, and finally a layer of makeup powder is lightly applied on the face, white and red, very glamorous!
It can really be said: delicate steps are full of fragrance, and soft hair is fragrant. The bright eyes and willow eyebrows are out of shape, and the bright wrists and jade arms are hidden. The powder face is difficult to shine, and the red lips are light and delicate. The appearance is better than the king's concubine, and she smiles and wins the spring.
The groom's official Xu Cheng wore a knighthood, a dark ink dress, a tie robe, and an auspicious dragon on his feet. He wore a wide belt of moon-gold tiger stripes, on which hung a piece of ink jade of excellent jade quality and a sachet, and his black hair was tied up and fastened with a crown of jade and gilt.
Xu Cheng has eyebrows like a knife and eyes that are very different, which can be described as: the son's merry sword eyebrows, sideburns and knife cuts. The face is like a peach, and the spirit is like a tiger, and the Xuanang instrument is full of temperament.
I have to say that he and Sui'er are really a match made in heaven, and they are a good match!
At the beginning of the wedding banquet, the master of ceremonies was Xu Cheng's uncle, a well-known local old man, he asked Xu Cheng to comb Sui'er's hair, and there were words in his mouth: "One comb to the head, two to the end, three to the case and eyebrows." "Then it was Sui'er's turn to toast General Xu and his wife, because I said before that our parents had passed away a long time ago, so Xu Chengtong's wine was toasted to me, after all, the eldest brother is like a father.
Then Sui'er and Xu Chengtong bowed to each other, and they naturally entered the cave room.
The night was very lively, and there were many people who came to the wedding banquet, including some dignitaries and nobles. Xu Mansion also opened a warehouse on this day to release grain, and distributed some of the grain and clothing to the people.
Sui'er smiled happily, it was the most beautiful scenery I have ever seen! Drunk, I went back to the room, lying on the bed, my mood was very complicated, Sui'er married the person she wanted to marry, I sincerely blessed her, but at the same time I felt lost and sad......
The two who have become relatives are even more like glue, and after a while, you can see Sui'er's bulging belly, and Xu Mansion is about to add people, which is really a good thing.
Ay......
