Chapter 4: The Wedding Night
In front of the temple gate of the City God Temple, a grass mat pergola is erected, tables, chairs and benches are placed, and half of the street is spread with sprinkling.
Meng Xian's grandfather Yu Yin, Uncle and Aunt Xie got married, and Shen Yushan Shen Erlang's marriage was extraordinarily grand, except for those who took their children to participate in the wind chimes, almost half of the small bridge town was dispatched.
The flower boat arrived, the drums sounded in unison, and the cannon bombed the sky.
Shen Yushan carried his childhood sweetheart and newlywed wife Tie Xinlan on his back, and carried Tie Xinlan into the backyard amid the crowd's noisy congratulations, the crackling firecrackers, and the laughter of the children in the courtyard singing the tune.
I just walked into the backyard, and suddenly I was separated from the hustle and bustle.
Shen Yushan felt his little hand tap on his shoulder, and only heard Tie Xinlan's soft voice say, "Xianggong, let me down." ”
"Don't worry, I'll carry you into the room to rest." When Shen Yushan heard the word Xianggong, he immediately felt that he had endless energy.
It's just that Tie Xinlan insisted, but Shen Yushan still put the bride down carefully, and raised his hand to pat off the firecracker crumbs stained on the red wedding dress.
The green plum secretly hidden in the corner, seeing that the groom and the bride respected each other like guests, and there was no wonderful repertoire that was overstepped, she couldn't help but feel a little lost, and she was busy helping the bride.
"Xinlan, you go to the new house first and wait for a while, I'll go greet the guests and come back soon." Qingmei, you take Xinlan back to the room, be careful, don't fall, and go to the kitchen to bring some soup, don't starve. ”
After that, Shen Yushan was busy greeting the guests, and when he was late, he was about to be laughed at again. Just as he took a step, he felt his sleeves pull, and Shen Yushan looked down to see that a pair of plain white hands were grabbing the placket of his clothes.
There was a faint chuckle in his ears, Shen Yushan glared, and Qingmei immediately covered her mouth and held back a smile.
"What's wrong?" Shen Yushan asked with concern.
There was no sound for a long time under the red silk cloth cover, and Shen Yushan waited patiently for a long time before Tie Xinlan's voice came out slowly: "Come back quickly, I have something to say to you." ”
Shen Yushan sighed in his heart, he always felt that something was not good, and pressed this unspeakable feeling into his heart, as if he had lost his mind, he returned to the front yard and saw that the guests had gone.
said that he would come back soon, but since ancient times, how can the groom not be drunk, Shen Yushan is still young, barely a young man, the elders do not bully the little baby, just persuade a few glasses to stop, Rao is so, Shen Yushan, who is not strong enough to drink, is also drunk and slightly drunk.
In fact, it stands to reason that it is very inappropriate for him to marry early at such an age, but this marriage was the last wish of his grandfather, so it came to pass. However, although it is the order of his parents and the words of the matchmaker, he and Tie Xinlan play childhood sweethearts and love each other, which is well known, and because of this, this marriage is also successful.
When he returned to the new house, Qingmei served him with a decanting soup, and then quietly retreated.
The red candles are yellow and hazy, and the newly decorated bridal bedroom is quiet.
Shen Yushan looked at it, Tie Xinlan was still sitting on the edge of the bed, covered with red silk head, and the whole person was hidden in the bright wedding dress, only one hand was exposed, resting on his lap.
The silver light on his hand was shining, Shen Yushan's eyes were sharp, and he recognized that it was the jewelry that his aunt married, a pair of silver bracelets, not valuable, but of great significance, the aunt once joked that wearing this pair of silver bracelets was the default identity of the daughter-in-law of the Shen family.
Coldly, Tie Xinlan lifted her red hijab and said, "Xianggong, Xinlan begs you for something." ”
Shen Yushan raised his head and felt something.
Tie Xinlan looked at Shen Yushan's clear and bright eyes, and was silent for a while.
Tick.
Tick.
Outside the house, there was a sudden sound of rain falling, first gently and softly, then violent and violent, and there was a low thunder between the mountains in the distance, and the wind was fierce, and the rain splashed down on the pane in an instant.
"Xinlan wants to ask for justice and give a letter of resignation."
Thundered.
The lightning and thunder sounded, as if the sky had split a big hole, and the thunder flashed in an instant, making the young man's face frost white.
In a frustration, the wine disappeared completely, as if in the cold winter wax moon season, someone chiseled a crack in the Baihui acupoint above the head, and poured countless ice water into it, which was cold from the bones to the bones, and from the bones to the bones.
Shen Yushan spoke, his voice dry and terrifying.
"Is it because of those two Gu Immortal Sword Sect people?"
"Xinlan, are you also greedy for immortal cultivation?"
Tie Xinlan moved her lips and wanted a lot of words, but when the words came to her mouth, a thousand words turned into one sentence.
"Please set me free."
Shen Yushan suddenly sneered in a low voice, the laughter became louder and louder, taking advantage of the heavy rain and the rolling thunder on this day, he exploded from between his teeth: "I, no, Xu." ”
Hammer.
The door was wide open, and the wind was blowing in the rain, and the raindrops fell on the face, cold to the bone.
Two figures came together, with a long sword at their waists, and wind chimes jingling in their hands, like evil ghosts urging debt collection in the bleak and rainy night.
The person who came was none other than the disciples of the Gu Immortal Sword Sect, Zeng Changqing and Xu Changyuan. The two came from the rain, wearing sword-sleeved robes that were not wet, with elegant tassels, and they were willing to be romantic.
"Shen Erlang, right, Miss Xinlan has made up her mind, why do you want to force it? If you let it go, my family will not treat you badly, and the job of the shepherd of the bridge town will be handed over, which can be regarded as making up for one or two, what do you think? ”
Zeng Changqing pinched a piece of red paper and waited for the young man's reply comfortably and easily. The position of the shepherd of the bridge town is equivalent to taking this town into his pocket and taking it away, which is much more comfortable and self-respecting than the mayor of the town, who must be flattered and flattered and low. Zeng Changqing thought that the other party would never refuse.
Click.
The wine glass that Shen Yushan was pinching shattered, and the splinters pierced into the heart of his fingers, and the crimson was dazzling.
He raised his head and said coldly: "My family affairs, what qualifications do you two outsiders have to put their beaks, you have been cultivating immortals in the mountains for too long, have you forgotten the basic etiquette?" ”
Zeng Changqing was speechless and said angrily: "You dare to slander the Immortal Family!" ”
Shen Yushan had no intention of fighting with these cultivators, his eyebrows were lowered, his eyes fell on the pair of red embroidered shoes embroidered with mandarin ducks, and he was sad and miserable for a while, and lamented:
"Xinlan, we two childhood sweethearts, we thought we knew each other and loved each other, but I found out today that I didn't know you at all. You can ignore me, but what about your father, is the so-called cultivation of immortals really that beautiful? Are you willing to leave everything behind and go away with infamy? ”
"Hahaha." Xu Changchang suddenly smiled and said, "Little brother, you are really stupid and cute, cultivating immortals is naturally excellent, mortal life, but only a few decades, stepping on the path of immortals, not to mention being able to prolong life for thirty or fifty years, if you can attain the Tao, you can live forever." ”
Shen Yushan suddenly sneered.
Zeng Changqing frowned, Shen Yushan, who had long felt that he had made a fool of himself twice, was hateful on the outside, pulled out a three-foot Qingfeng, and shouted angrily: "What are you laughing at!" ”
"Hahaha, for the sake of a mere thirty or fifty years of life, you are willing to squander your life to comprehend the immortal path, and waste your life, and waste more than thirty or fifty years of time? There is no love, no fun, fighting for destiny, fighting and killing, what kind of life has you become? ”
After a pause, Shen Yushan raised his head and asked with a smile: "As for what Lao Shizi said about the immortality, both of them are high disciples of the Gu Immortal Sword Sect, I, a rural contempt, would like to ask for a word, the history is a lesson, have you ever heard of who in the world has gained immortality?" ”
Zeng Changqing was asked again, and forcibly refuted himself: "But even if no one cultivates immortality, there are also several sages who have climbed to the top, and the Confucian saints and Taoist ancestors of this world have lived for six hundred years, and they are models for those who are coming after us, like you, can you understand their greatness?" ”
Shen Yushan laughed again.
In the Bamboo Forest Book House, Mr. Qiao Ru deliberately analyzed these two Confucian saints and Taoist ancestors whose fame spread to the border towns, and the words of the comments were really sharp.
"With all due respect, the classics of Confucianism and Taoism are passed down from ancient sages and philosophers, not by Confucian saints and Taoist ancestors, can it be said that if you live long enough, you can be called great? You go and ask the king in the river, can he have a thousand years of life, can he afford the word great? ”
"Confucian Saint Dao Ancestor? There is no merit and no virtue, and it is useless in the world, just because it is strong enough, it can be shamelessly called the Holy Dao Ancestor? Phew, it's just two old and immortal old thieves. ”
"Bold!" Zeng Changqing mentioned it with a long sword, this person dared to insult the Confucian Saint Dao Ancestor, it was a pity to die.
Xu Changchang stopped Zeng Changqing in time, the most important thing at the moment is to take Tie Xinlan away as soon as possible, and don't bother with the rest, they are elegant and elegant immortals, like such a scoundrel, why should they dirty their hands.
Shen Yushan suffered this bad news in vain, and he didn't care about anything anymore, even if the long sword was on his neck, what was he afraid of, but he was still worried in his heart, and he didn't want to be so restrained.
shouted at Tie Xinlan, who was low and silent: "Xinlan, do you and I need outsiders to intervene in the affairs between you and me?" ”
