Chapter VI
I felt uncomfortable, I couldn't sleep hiding in the quilt and turning over and over, although I had a hard temper, I still wanted to cry when I encountered such a thing.
I heard footsteps and knew that it was Aunt Song who walked in, because her footsteps were very soft, I had listened to them for more than ten years, and I had long been used to it.
"Aunt Song, do you say that I often make Daddy unhappy, he is bored, and he doesn't want to see me again in the future, so he asked me to marry early......" I still hid in the quilt and refused to show my head, because the way I cried was too ugly.
Aunt Song sat at the end of my bed and patted my back from time to time, "Ah Zhu Mo is crying, my lord has loved you since he was a child, and this time he must have made a mistake." Don't worry, when I go to persuade him tomorrow, I will never ask you to marry the son of the Lu family......"
I lifted the quilt suddenly, "Then Aunt Song, you must persuade my father so that he should not be confused." I looked at Aunt Song and seemed to see a glimmer of hope in her eyes
Tonight, I lay in bed tossing and turning, and I couldn't sleep, thinking to myself which god I had collided with, and what happened today was not going well. I am not only worried about the eighth day of the next month, but more thinking about the person who saved me today, his temperament is really the same as that person when I was a child, if I have the opportunity to see him again, I must go up and ask for an understanding.
"Aunt Song, what's the matter, has Daddy relented from this family business?" I couldn't sleep last night, so I woke up early today, and the first thing I did when I woke up was to go to find Aunt Song.
I saw Aunt Song squirming and pinching, as if she didn't dare to look at me, "Ah Candle, everything the master does is for your good, you have to be more considerate of your father's good intentions, and wait until the eighth day of the next month to get married!" ”
"Ah...... "I know that this is a foregone conclusion, and I won't struggle anymore, but I can't figure out why Aunt Song helped me persuade Daddy last night, and she helped Daddy persuade me in turn after one night."
I was full of anticipation in exchange for Aunt Song's words, I was actually in a trance, "Why, Aunt Song, who loves me the most on weekdays, now stands together with Daddy and forces me to do what I don't want to do......"
"Then I'll go see how I've prepared earlier!" When Aunt Song saw that she had finally convinced me, she immediately made an excuse to leave, because when she thought that I was about to become someone else's daughter-in-law, she was reluctant to ask for it, tears rolled in her eyes, and she was about to fall, she just didn't want me to see it, afraid that I would be sad with her.
Because early this morning, Daddy found Aunt Song and told Aunt Song all the reasons why I must get married. Aunt Song suddenly realized that what my father said was reasonable, and although she couldn't bear it, she had to make up her mind to convince me.
"Miss, do you really want to marry the son of the Lu family?" Mo'er and I were sitting under the osmanthus tree watching the sunset.
"To marry or not, we will see on the eighth day of the next month!" As usual, I watched the sunset very intently.
"See for yourself? Didn't Miss Mo come up with a good idea? Mo'er moved those eyes staring at the sunset to my face.
I didn't speak, the corners of my mouth rose slightly, I just looked up at the sunset, because I already had a foolproof plan in my heart. I grew up pretentious and empty-eyed. I don't want to follow my father's wishes, find someone to marry casually, and then live this life in a daze. Although it is not as vigorous as Wu Zetian, he also has to find someone he likes to stay with until he is old.
This is what I want for my life......
Time was very fast, and it was the eighth day of the next month in the blink of an eye, during which I kept to myself and did not sneak out again, because I was thinking about my plan to escape from marriage, and the first step was to deceive my father and Aunt Song, so that they really thought that I was willing to marry.
On the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, in the Prime Minister's Mansion, on the plaque at the gate, the pillars in the mansion were hung with red cloth strips, and red lanterns were also hung all over the courtyard. On the table in my room are red dates, peanuts, longan, and lotus seeds, which means "early birth of a noble son." "The bed was also replaced with a new embroidered satin quilt, embroidered with dragons and phoenixes. People up and down the whole house are busy, not to mention how lively it is. The procession outside to greet relatives set off firecrackers, gongs and drums were noisy, salutes were roaring, red lanterns opened the way, and they were blowing and beating all the way along the way. The people of the whole city know that today's prime minister is married, and they all know that today is the wedding of my Nanyan Candle and Lu Huai......
"Ah Candle, you have to change into a dress quickly, dress up, the team outside to greet the relatives is coming soon......" Aunt Song urged me at the door, I should have been happy today, but Aunt Song's eyes were red.
"Okay, I'm almost done......" I craned my neck in the room and pretended to agree.
"Miss, I'm afraid this is inappropriate, what if the master finds out!" I asked Mo'er to put on her wedding dress, pressed her in front of the mirror to make up for her, and asked her to marry me.
"Mo'er is so beautiful today, like, like a fairy in the sky!" I helped Mo'er comb her hair and joked with her.
Mo'er's face was very anxious, and she wanted to stand up but was pressed down by me, "Miss, don't laugh, this old man found out, what if you don't find out that you really married me......
"Then you just stay in the General's Mansion and be a young grandmother with peace of mind?"
"Ah Candle, why are you still joking?" When I heard Mo'er call my name directly, I knew that she was really anxious, and when I looked at Mo'er in the mirror, I was really a little unhappy.
"Hao Mo'er, I really don't want to get married, you should do me a favor, and I will definitely share it with you in the future...... In fact, you are not embarrassed, when you find out that the bride is not me, the scene is absolutely chaotic, you take the opportunity to run away...... You said...... Yes and no...... Yes...... "I saw that Mo'er listened a little like a god, and ran away at once.
"Hmm...... This ......" When Mo'er hesitated, I had already slipped out of the window of the house.
"Miss, Miss...... Throw the mess at me again......" Mo'er turned her head and no longer saw my figure, only to see the two halves of the crumbling window, and she stomped her feet in anger.
"Ah Candle, Ah Candle, I'm my father, I'll come in if you don't speak......"
"Mom, mom, where's my red hijab......" Mo'er saw that my father was about to rush in, so she quickly covered her red hijab and sat on the bed with her hands folded, not daring to make a sound.
Daddy also sat down against Mo'er, grabbed Mo'er's hand, and really thought it was me......
"Ah Candle, in a blink of an eye, you are going to get married, Dad is happy, but Dad knows that you don't want to, and he is still blaming Dad. But you have to know that Dad is also 10,000 reluctant in his heart, 10,000 feel sorry for you, but Dad has no choice, maybe you don't understand it now, but when you become a parent in the future, you will probably be able to understand. Daddy, I promised to ...... before your mother's bed," Daddy said halfway, and pulled Mo'er's hand harder.
"Hey, Ah Candle, what do you want me to do, I'm going to wear a goof......" Mo'er hid in the red hijab, didn't dare to move, she really wanted to cry without tears......
"Dad promised at your mother's bedside that he would let you live a safe and happy life. Now my father is also a half-cut person, so I can give your mother an explanation below. One day you will understand today's father's good intentions, everything Dad is doing now is for your own good......" Daddy said and said, suddenly he was infarcted, he was also the prime minister of a country, but now he is like a wronged little daughter-in-law.
"Ah Candle, you really should come back and listen to what the master said, you don't know how much the master loves you, it's good for you to make trouble for the master all day long, make the master unhappy, and ......deceive the master for life" Mo'er picked her fingers, and her heart rose to her throat.
"Master, the general's greeting team has arrived at the door, hurry up and ask Ah Zhu to come out!" Aunt Song called outside the door, this was the most reluctant time in her life to urge me, she understood that Daddy felt uncomfortable, and hoped that I would never come out of this house.
"Ah Candle, my father can only tell you this, after marrying, you must accept your filial piety to your elders, respect your husband, and don't play with children's tempers. If you are wronged at your mother-in-law's house and come back at any time, the door of the Prime Minister's Mansion will always be kept for you, and your father will always be waiting for you at home, okay, help Miss out......" After Daddy finished speaking, he called two maids to help Mo'er out.
The two maids walked in front with Mo'er on their left and right, and Daddy and Aunt Song walked behind, and the two of them slowly followed while wiping their tears.
Halfway through, Mo'er's legs began to weaken.
"Oops......" Mo'er was uneasy in her heart, her heart had already risen to her throat, her feet were weak, and she fell to the ground before she could stand firmly, and as soon as the wind blew, the red hijab naturally fell off, revealing her face.
"Mo'er? How are you? This ......," Aunt Song hurriedly trotted up when she saw this.
Daddy rushed forward angrily and grabbed Mo'er's hand, "Why are you, Miss, where is Miss?" ”
"Small, Miss her, she ......"
"Speak quickly!" Anger rolled in Daddy's chest, and the hand holding Mo'er became tighter and tighter, and the two eyeballs were about to fall off with anger.
"Miss...... She ran away! Daddy's roar directly scared Mo'er stupidly, and he summoned all of them.
"Hmph, bastard thing...... Daddy let go of Mo'er's hand, glanced at her, waved his sleeves on both sides, and walked away angrily.
Now the first thing Daddy has to think about is how to explain to the Lu family, and then arrest me back and discipline me well.
"Butler, butler, quick, send a few more people out to find Miss back, remember not to make a noise, be sure to bring that girl back to me!"
"Yes, sir!"
"You, you, what, how are you, alas......" Aunt Song was speechless in the face of Mo'er, not knowing whether to be happy or sad, and turned to follow Daddy.
"Ah, scared me to death, scared me to death......" Mo'er sat on the ground, her face full of shock, as if she had walked through the ghost gate, "Ah Candle, Ah Candle, you can do it yourself......"
