Chapter 1 The phoenix crown and the red candle

Next Chapter

Every household in Limu Town put up lanterns, blowing gongs and drums since the rooster crowed, and the jugglers also took turns to stage their housekeeping skills, if it weren't for Liu Qiheng who felt that such a festive day could not make a fuss, he would definitely have to arrange a few strong men to break the boulder on their chests, in short, today's town is more lively than the New Year.

The whole town was opened, and the adults talked about the wine and changed the glasses.

Children chase and play.

Yan Chuqing sat in the room with a handkerchief, listening to the children reciting a poem over and over again:

Flower candle wine fragrant glass cup, to be drunk with the lover.

The phoenix crown sits in the tent, and the mandarin duck embroidered pillow is on the couch.

Silk and satin tailoring wedding dress, than the wing of the wife of the wife.

When the full moon is in full bloom, I am ashamed to wait for Lang Jun to uncover the red cover.

This is a poem specially composed by Liu Qiheng for their newlywed a few days ago, so that those children can recite it tonight after they are familiar with it.

Yan Chuqing listened to it a few times and memorized it, and silently read it with the delicate children outside the door.

The more she listened, the more she rejoiced, and if she hadn't heard the elders say the day before the church that the bridegroom was not allowed to speak or move, she would have pushed open the door and grabbed a large handful of preserves and snacks for each of the children.

Yan Chuqing is so surprisingly well-behaved, which makes the eldest brother who has been serving on the side a little inexplicably worried, you must know that she can't see Yan Chuqing's smiling eyebrows dancing under the red handkerchief, laughing like a fascination, she only knows that Yan Chuqing is a person who will have a big deal if he doesn't speak for an hour.

"Miss Yan...... Ah, look at my mouth, I should change my mouth to Mrs. Nie. The eldest brother was overjoyed, and the corners of his mouth were raised for a day without letting go, happier than when she got married.

"Mrs. Nie is not hungry, I haven't eaten a day today, can I bring you a bowl of lotus seed soup?"

Yan Chuqing wanted to say no, but she held back, fortunately, she was prepared, and she threw a piece of paper out of her sleeve.

The eldest brother opened the note, which read: Granny Jiang said that you can't move, can't speak, and can't eat before removing the hijab, it will break the rules.

The eldest brother looked at the note, covered his mouth and stole fun, she thought, this girl who is in a hurry finally has an honest day.

The child outside the door stopped to read a poem, Gege laughed for a while, and ran away with a clattering sound.

The door was pushed open, and Yan Chuqing's heart was like a bucket in a well full of water, and it was raised to his throat slowly.

"Young Master Nie, Mrs. Nie has been waiting for you for a long time."

There was always something in the eldest brother's tone that made Yan Chuqing and Nie Xuyang blush and their hearts beat.

"There is a sister-in-law today Lao." Nie Xuyang sincerely thanks.

"Where did this come from, thank you, hurry up and take off your head, Mrs. Nie hasn't eaten, drank, or spoken all day. I'll go first. ”

Yan Chuqing heard the sound of the door closing, which should be the sound of the eldest brother leaving.

The sound of heartbeat became more and more excessive, and Yan Chuqing looked down and saw that a pair of feet had appeared in front of her.

Nie Xuyang stretched out his hand, his hands trembling unconsciously a little. He scolded himself for being useless, what was there to shake about, but he immediately explained to himself that maybe it was because he had drunk......

Yan Chuqing closed her eyes, her cheeks were hot, and if she had to look at each other in the next second, she didn't know what kind of expression to put on. Could it be that he waved his hand and smiled and said to Nie Xuyang: Hey, what a coincidence, you are also married today!

After closing his eyes for a long time, there was no movement at all, Yan Chuqing opened his eyes, and the red veil was still covering his eyes, but when he looked down, Nie Xuyang was still standing in place.

Yan Chuqing frowned, and guessed in his heart: What's the matter with this guy? Didn't he worship in the hall, his relatives became his relatives, and the banquet was also arranged, but he regretted it at this time, right? Yan Chuqing immediately overturned this idea and thought about it: Could it be that this guy is too happy, after all, he got married for the first time and had a heart attack?

The red hijab was unveiled by Nie Xuyang when Yan Chuqing was thinking nonsense.

Nie Xuyang saw Yan Chuqing's brows tightened, and his eyes widened and looked at him in a panic.

"Why do you have this expression on the big day?"

Yan Chuqing saw that Nie Xuyang did not run away and regretted the marriage, but could also say that she was able to move and be healthy, and she was relieved.

"What about you, why are you so sad on the big day?" Nie Xuyang seemed to care about her expression.

Yan Chuqing can't admit that the old lady has seen you uncover the red cloth for so long, and she thinks that you are either going to run or die.

Yan Chuqing smiled: "Surprised, surprised?" ”

Nie Xuyang smiled and picked up Yan Chuqing's face.

Yan Chuqing thought that Nie Xuyang was going to kiss her Fang Ze, but she was shy and motionless like a quail.

Nie Xuyang's hand gently stroked Yan Chuqing's eyebrows: "Chuqing, my lady, you are so beautiful." ”

As the saying goes, if you are not afraid of a playboy playing hooligan, you are afraid of a straight man of steel saying love, of course, Yan Chuqing doesn't know where he heard this saying, but Nie Xuyang, a real straight man of steel, actually said such a sensual thing to her.

Nie Xuyang waited for Yan Chuqing to respond to her, but Yan Chuqing seemed to have not been normal since he pushed the door in.

At this time of affection, Yan Chuqing knew that she had to return some words that were suitable for Lang's concubine, but she held back for a long time and said: "Well, it's beautiful." ”

Nie Xuyang couldn't help laughing and sat down beside her: "Today's wedding, shouldn't you say that you love me." ”

Yan Chuqing bit his lip: "Love doesn't have to be on your lips." ”

Nie Xuyang nodded: "Okay, since you can't say it, forget it, the future will be long." ”

Nie Xuyang stood up, walked to the table, lifted the wine jug and filled the pair of glass cups: "I can't say anything, but according to the custom, you must drink a glass of wine, Granny Jiang said that only after drinking her ancestral secret recipe of pear drunk honey can she grow old, and raise her eyebrows." ”

Today's Yan Chuqing regards Granny Jiang's words as a holy decree, in other words, she suddenly became conformist because she cherished this marriage with Nie Xuyang.

Yan Chuqing walked to Nie Xuyang's side and took the glass cup.

"First cup, I salute the misunderstanding between us, the misunderstanding made me see the witty as you." Nie Xuyang raised his glass.

Yan Chuqing clinked glasses: "Misunderstanding made me see that I am as honest as you." ”

As its name suggests, this wine has a rich pear aroma that refreshes people's hearts, and the sweetness in the wine is not like the sucrose in sweet porridge.

The sweetness of this flavor casually glides over the tip of your tongue, but when you don't think so, it sways wildly on your taste buds. They had drunk a lot of Granny Jiang's wine, but it was the first time that such a delicious honey wine had been made.

The glass cup was filled again, and Nie Xuyang took Yan Chuqing's hand: "I love you, you have held the hands of many people, and I will hold your hand for the rest of my life." ”

Yan Chuqing couldn't resist such affection, she was so ashamed that she was embarrassed to herself: "You...... You...... Why do you always tell the truth at night......"

Yan Chuqing's shyness made her sharp teeth clumsy.

The third time, the pair of glass cups made a crisp touching sound, they cherished each other, and said affectionately: "Respect fate." ”

This wine is a pot of strong wine, Yan Chuqing felt a little hot, listening to the noise outside the window, guessing that the townspeople should have dispersed, she pushed open the window and supported her head with her hands.

Nie Xuyang was by his side, and Yan Chuqing leaned on his shoulder: "What should I call you, husband?" My dear? Messire? ”

"It stands to reason that you have to call me husband, and you should call me husband when you get married in our time."

Yan Chuqing was a little lonely: "My relatives are gone, but you still have your parents and ......." ”

Yan Chuqing swallowed back the three words he originally wanted to say: "Do you miss them?" ”

Nie Xuyang hugged Yan Chuqing's shoulders and hugged her into his arms: "My parents are in my heart, and you are by my side." ”

Yan Chuqing obediently leaned on Nie Xuyang's arms and pointed to the bright moon: "The full moon is round, is this our end?" ”

Nie Xuyang tightened his hands: "This is just the beginning of our life. ”

"I'm hungry and haven't eaten for a day." Yan Chuqing's Five Organs Temple made a commotion.

"I'll take you to the kitchen to find something to eat, there must be a lot of food left over today, I'll cook you a hodgepodge in a while."

Nie Xuyang firmly held Yan Chuqing's in the palm of his hand, he knew that she loved to be held by others, just like every time she held someone else's hand.

Pushing open the door, they walked across the courtyard to the kitchen.

Yan Chuqing felt that he was hungry and could eat a cow: "Let's take it into the room to eat after making a hodgepodge, Granny Jiang's wine is so delicious, and it is the best together." ”

Nie Xuyang stopped, he spoke but didn't answer Yan Chuqing's words: "Xiangya, why are you here, what are you doing wearing a cloak at night?" The black cloak doesn't even see you if you don't come closer. ”

Yan Chuqing greeted with a smile: "Have you eaten enough at night, do you want to go to the kitchen with us to eat more?" ”

"Don't eat it, in fact, I'm leaving with my brother tonight." She pulled out a package from her cloak.

Nie Xuyang and Yan Chuqing looked at each other in confusion: "The emperor appreciates Brother Qi Heng a lot, why did he suddenly leave?" ”

Liu Xiangya bowed her head and was silent.

Yan Chuqing stepped forward. "Xiangya, is it that I have inadvertently hurt you by speaking indiscriminately, in fact......"

"That's not the case, anyway, we're leaving, I have prepared something to congratulate you on your new marriage, but it's just something from my daughter's family, can Miss Yan borrow a step, it's inconvenient for Nie Gongzi to see it."

Yan Chuqing always felt that Liu Xiangya was very strange, but she couldn't say that there was anything wrong, but she still followed Liu Xiangya a few steps away.

Nie Xuyang looked at them curiously, he felt that he had drunk a little too much tonight, and his legs were still a little ticketed, and he couldn't see things very clearly.

"Xiangya, what do you want to give me?" It's always happy to receive gifts, Yan Chuqing poked his head to look.

Liu Xiangya took the gift from the baggage, she turned around and said in an unusually cold tone: "Send you to death!" ”

Yan Chuqing saw a bright short knife slashing in front of her, and it was too late for her to dodge back, but she was glad that the clothes on her body were okay, but she just cut the clothes and hurt some flesh.

Although they and Nie Xuyang were some distance away, they were always in sight, Nie Xuyang rushed forward in a few steps, and he grabbed Liu Xiangya's hand. "Xiangya, are we doing something wrong? How so? ”

Nie Xuyang's uniform didn't play any role at all, and Liu Xiangya reflexively kicked Nie Xuyang in the chest, which would be far away.

Nie Xuyang clutched his chest, didn't think much about it, and stood up, shouting that someone is coming, and rushed towards Yan Chuqing.

Yan Chuqing felt that this was not Liu Xiangya, Liu Xiangya was powerless, how could she kick Nie Xuyang out so far.

Yan Chuqing, no matter who this woman is, it shouldn't be a problem to deal with this woman with her fists and feet: "Who are you, why are you pretending to be Liu Xiangya, since you sent me to die, then show your true face and let me die clearly." ”

"Hahaha, I'm not stupid, I'm really not Liu Xiangya, it seems that the medicine I put in Granny Jiang's wine has worked, making your eyes and ears bad," she said and laughed.

"Who the hell are you?" In just a few steps, Nie Xuyang walked hard, but he still walked to Yan Chuqing's side.

"Come and take a look at my cloak, but I forgot to tell you, this medicine can still make your hands and feet weak. Originally, I wanted to go to your room to do something, but who would have thought that you would be sent to the door halfway through the road. ”

The woman pretending to be Liu Xiangya rushed up in a few steps, and the knife in her hand was extremely fierce.

Yan Chuqing pushed Nie Xuyang away, elbowed on the woman's abdomen, the woman thought that Yan Chuqing had lost her ability to resist a little lax, but she didn't expect Yan Chuqing to be able to use this blow, she took a few steps back.

"Go and move the rescuers, go quickly!" Yan Chuqing felt that his hands and feet were losing strength, but Nie Xuyang was already weak and couldn't help at all, so Yan Chuqing couldn't let Nie Xuyang be in danger.

"I'm not leaving, I'm not going anywhere." Nie Xuyang began to shout for help again: "There are assassins, there are robbers, help!" ”

The woman took a stance again. "Forget, this man is a wretch, I should start with him."

The woman and the sharp knife were combined into one, and they moved in front of them instantly, Yan Chuqing exerted all her strength, and kicked the woman's abdomen again, Yan Chuqing's strength ran out, her feet were completely soft, and she gasped: "I know who you are, take off your cloak." ”

After being kicked twice in a row, the woman squatted on the ground and slowed down: "What do you like the most, don't try to deceive me, if you really know who I am, then call out my name." ”

was said by the woman, Yan Chuqing couldn't hear who this woman's voice was now, the vision of her eyes was very blurred, she only knew that this woman was an acquaintance around her, very familiar. Yan Chuqing was just stalling for time, waiting for the townspeople to come and save them.

But this time it backfired, no matter how Nie Xuyang shouted, no one stepped into this courtyard, as if there had never been a wedding banquet here a few hours ago, and there was no hustle and bustle, as if this place was still the same as when no one cared about it when he first came.

The woman stood up holding her abdomen and walked towards Yan Chuqing step by step: "The time has come, I'll send you on the road." ”

Yan Chuqing knew that they were in danger this time, she wanted to take a look at Nie Xuyang again, but before she could find Nie Xuyang with her eyes, the extremely sharp knife was about to fall.

"Ahh

The knife didn't hit Yan Chuqing, Nie Xuyang blocked in front of her, and the knife was inserted into Nie Xuyang's chest, standing still.

The woman stepped forward to draw her knife, but the townsfolk swarmed from outside the courtyard and finally caught her.

Nie Xuyang fell into Yan Chuqing's arms, her eyes were blurred, Yan Chuqing's phoenix crown had long since flown away, her hair was messily scattered, and her Xia curtain was getting redder and redder, red and black.
