Chapter 24: Blossoms (4)
Xia Ruixi was like a puppet, she was helped off the sedan chair, stuffed the red silk into her hand, and followed others step by step, not daring to make the slightest mistake.
Through the hijab, she could only faintly see a group of dark figures, and when she lowered her head, she could only see a pair of green silk boots, which had been not far from her, which were Ou Qingjin's feet.
"One worship heaven and earth, two worship the high hall, husband and wife worship each other, and the ceremony is completed! Sent to the cave room. "A red silk tied with a big red flower, she holds this end, he holds the end, this red silk connects their lives, and from then on, blessings and misfortunes depend on each other.
The hijab was lifted, and Xia Ruixi heard a soft sigh from everyone present in the Ou family, which made her nervous immediately, not knowing if her appearance was not in everyone's eyes, but then the actions of a three or four-year-old little girl made her breathe a sigh of relief, the little girl squeezed in front of her, raised her head curiously and stared at her, and then sighed: "What a beautiful fourth aunt,!" The room suddenly resounded with the congratulations and admiration of others.
Xia Ruixi didn't dare to look at the expression of the person who unveiled his head, only dared to look at the little girl, the little girl was wearing a pink and blue front silver fox fur jacket, combing two buns, and a bright gold collar of Qibao on her neck, looking pink and jade, very beautiful, I think it should be Ou Qingjin's brother's daughter.
The little girl stepped forward and touched Xia Ruixi's face, Xia Ruixi couldn't dodge, she pinched it, and the little girl nodded: "Yes, I've heard of it for a long time." ”
Everyone else chuckled, is this what a little kid should do? Xia Ruixi was embarrassed, and Ou Qingjin said lightly: "Fu'er, who called you the rules, Aunt Qi, don't you take the little lady down?" ”
A woman wearing duck eggs and cucumber seeds stepped forward to salute and picked up Fu'er and walked out, Fu'er shouted, "Fourth uncle, you don't want Fu'er if you marry a bride." ”
Everyone laughed, and Mrs. Shang was also in the room, and came out to play a round and said: "The children are not sensible, relatives and friends don't want to laugh, the table outside has been set up, please come to the table." ”
The people laughed for a while, and finally dispersed, leaving only Ou Qingjin and Xia Ruixi and two girls, and Xi Po in the house.
Xia Ruixi didn't dare to look up at Ou Qingjin, she felt that the air in the room was stagnant at the moment, almost suffocating, longing to be recognized by him, worried that she would not be accepted by him sincerely, and the person who was tormented repeatedly was her.
There was a soft sound at the table holding the edge of the teacup under the cover, "Hee-hee." Ou Qingjin finally opened his mouth and called her, in Xia Ruixi's memory, it seems that he has never called her like this, every time he speaks, the "second sister" is long, and the "second sister" is short, but I have to say that such a name makes her feel relieved, does this mean that he accepts her new identity?
Xia Ruixi tried his best to look calm and looked up: "Yes." The two looked at each other, and at the same time they both staggered their eyes in a little panic.
Ou Qingjin coughed lowly, stared at her feet and said: "Fu'er is my third brother's daughter, she has been spoiled since she was a child, she has a somewhat eccentric temper, and it is inevitable that she will lose her physique, don't worry about her." ”
Xia Ruixi smiled slightly: "I won't." ”
Ou Qingjin touched his head unnaturally, "I know you won't, but I'm afraid you'll think too much, that, I'm out to entertain." It was as if someone was chasing him from behind, and he slipped away.
Xi Po smiled: "The groom is embarrassed. ”
Ou Qingjin's back paused, and quickly disappeared outside the door.
Chun'er and Liang'er bit their ears, and Liang'er leaned into Xia Ruixi's ear and said, "Miss, don't worry, the slave is very happy to look at my uncle." ”
Xia Ruixi's heart beat uncontrollably like a drum, she was flustered, although she glanced at him, she didn't see whether he was happy or not, I hope he was really happy.
The waiting process is long and painful, Xia Ruixi feels as if he is waiting for the results of the college entrance examination at the moment, both eagerly hoping that the result will be announced soon, but also afraid that the result is what he does not want, always hoping that time will stand still at this moment and never move forward.
In the end, that exciting moment came, Ou Qingjin returned to the room with a faint smell of wine, his body was still a little shaky when he was at the door, and when he entered the door, he immediately stood up straight and looked at the people in the room and smiled stupidly, although he resolutely refused to admit that the word "stupid" would be associated with him, but Xia Ruixi's master and servant did not hesitate, and it was undoubtedly described as a smirk at that time.
Xi Po cut off a lock of hair from each of them, tied them together, wrapped them with colorful silk threads, and put them into a delicate mandarin duck water purse, and said: "Married as a husband and wife, there is no doubt about love." ”
Then serve the two to drink a glass of wine, Xi Po drank half of the wine between the two of them and exchanged with each other, and when the two of them finished drinking, Xi Po threw the two cups under the bed, and said with a smile: "One up, one close, good luck." ”
Xia Ruixi understood the meaning of this, and couldn't help but make a big red face as a thief, and didn't dare to raise his head, the cumbersome etiquette was finally completed, and the Chinese waited for the two to take off their big clothes, wash them clean, and let the two sit side by side on the edge of the bed, then put down the curtain and withdrew, the room was silent, only the occasional candle wick burst sound.
Xia Ruixi unconsciously played with his fingers, and didn't dare to look at the people around him, Ou Qingjin coughed again and said softly: "Aren't you cold?" As he spoke, he reached out and took her hand.
Xia Ruixi's heart was beating like a drum, and before he could answer, he heard a burst of muffled laughter outside the window and the sound of flower pots falling to the ground, and couldn't help but be ashamed and annoyed, it was the two who listened to the root of the wall who were laughing at each other, the two looked at each other, embarrassed, and then a young man's voice sounded: "Aren't you cold in the cold winter?" I have a good deer breast and a ten-year-old flower carving, can I have a drink? A group of people chattered for a long time, and someone laughed: "It's still Brother Ou who feels sorry for his brother." The crowd laughed narrowly and dispersed.
Without these listeners, both people in the room breathed a sigh of relief, "Leave them alone." A hand gently stroked Xia Ruixi's cheek, Xia Ruixi's emotions became more and more tense, his neck tightened, his body stiffened into a wooden stick, his mouth was dry, and he almost lost the function of blinking.
Ou Qingjin noticed her nervousness and sighed slightly: "After a day of tossing, aren't you tired?" I'm so tired. As he spoke, he took off his shoes and went to bed first.
Xia Ruixi looked at him, and then at his shoes, remembering what Mrs. Xia said, you must step on his shoes before going to bed, and at the same time he can't step on her shoes, so that he can't bully her in the future, although this statement is a bit ridiculous, but she still wants to give it a try, but she doesn't want him to find out, lest he also believe this, so that he is unhappy, and secretly stepped on it, so she took off her shoes, quickly stepped on his shoes, and went to bed casually.
Ou Qingjin slept outside, leaving only a gap half a person wide for her, if Xia Ruixi wanted to sleep well, she had to crawl over him, she mustered up her courage a few times, and she was deflated again, so she had to bite her lip and poke his arm.
He pretended to be dizzy: "What are you doing?" ”
"Sleep in."
"I don't, the male protagonist is outside, the female protagonist is inside, you sleep inside, I sleep outside." In the dim light, Xia Ruixi saw Ou Qingjin's eyes shining.
Xia Ruixi said: "Do you still believe this? ”
Ou Qing was noncommittal, looked at her and said seriously: "Anyway, in the future, you sleep inside, I sleep outside, when there is something, I am in front and you are in the back." ”
Xia Ruixi was stunned when he heard this, is this his promise? Ou Qingjin patted the bed inside. "Come in, it's such a cold weather, you sit like this, isn't it cold? Do you want to drag two clear noses to meet your in-laws tomorrow morning? ”
Xia Ruixi still didn't dare to crawl over him: "Then you let me." ”
"I'm tired and can't get up, you won't feel sorry for your husband for a day, right?" Someone closes his eyes.
Xia Ruixi tentatively stepped over one foot, but did not react, and when she boldly leaned over again, a pair of warm big hands suddenly hugged her and pulled her down and attached to a wide and warm chest.
"What are you doing?" Xia Ruixi licked her lips nervously.
Ou Qingjin looked at her with clear eyes, "Xixi, we will be a family in the future, and we are the closest people." ”
Xia Ruixi didn't struggle, meekly put his face on his chest, and responded in a low voice: "Well, I won't let you down, what about you?" ”
"I'll treat you well, of course." He seemed to be relieved, in fact, both of them understood that a promise is a promise, life is a life, and they still have a long way to go, but for Xia Ruixi, as long as there is this promise, it is the direction of her efforts and the source of courage, she thinks that one day, she can get his heartfelt love and love, and she will definitely be able to live the happy life she wants.
After all, Xia Ruixi thought that she was flustered enough, who knew that someone would force her to be flustered, she was very embarrassed, and at the same time very happy, what a big surprise God gave her, she remembered in a trance that it was said in the book that men always have a very special feeling for a woman of their own, and what she wants to strive for now is to make herself one and the last of him.
This person may have a very strict family education, only dare to think but dare not move, and may think too highly of himself, including the most impulsive adolescence and has never looked at other women, so he can't become a master and is familiar with it, say that he doesn't know anything, he understands a little, it should be said that he still has a little premarital training, say he understands, he is in a hurry, and he dies before leaving the school, which makes the hero cry.
Although he did not shed tears, his frustration and unwillingness were palpable.
Even if a man doesn't care about this kind of thing on the surface, he cares about it incomparably, Xia Ruixi has never eaten pork, but he has also seen a pig walking, and he understands his heart very well at the moment, and he also knows that this moment is the best time to break his heart. So she played a good role as an empathetic, gentle and considerate wife, patiently soothing his wounded heart. In the end, with the joint efforts of both parties, they finally succeeded.
When Ou Qing changed his previous restraint, presumptuous and boldly kissed Xia Ruixi's face, hugged her gently, and thoughtfully wiped her, Xia Ruixi knew that she had taken a small step towards his psychology.
