Chapter 197: Candlelight at Night
At the beginning of the lanterns, red candles are lit in the bamboo building, and dishes and milk syrup are placed in front of the delicate desk.
The first meal of the wedding banquet was extremely simple, and the table was full of vegetables and fruits.
A wine glass of mutton fat and white jade was placed on a table, and a silver kettle was filled with fresh milk.
In July, he took off his red cheongsam and sat down in a pink skirt.
Brilliant and charming eyes stared at Zhu Beichen on the opposite side of the desk, and said with a light smile: "I have been accustomed to vegetarianism since I was a child, and the degree of each meal is relatively simple, and I don't stick to a piece of meat." ”
Zhu Beichen smiled miserably, and echoed: "When I was a child, I also had a vegetarian meal, because I couldn't afford to get meat and it was too expensive. ”
July laughed out loud, and the laughter was extremely crisp and soft.
She picked up the silver jug, a thin stream of pure white liquid, and filled the small cup.
"I don't stick to wine syrup, it's a habit, let's use milk instead of a glass of wine for a big wedding."
July felt a little guilty, but the good habits he developed when he was a child were too harsh for Zhu Beichen.
It was a big wedding day, and the table was full of vegetarian food, but the wine glass was filled with pure milk.
July warmly handed over the white marble wine glass and got up gracefully, with apologies in his eyes.
Zhu Beichen sat up with a smile, took the cup, looked at Xiaoqiong's nose in July, and couldn't help but close his index finger and slid twice, secretly happy in his heart.
Suddenly, July blushed with shame, buried his head, and said coquettishly: "I hate it, don't hook people's noses!" ”
Before handing over the cup and changing the lamp, Zhu Beichen's face sank, and he asked worriedly: "July, do you really want to go with me?" I'm penniless, I really can't afford to support you. ”
Qiyue's pretty face condensed slightly, but she snickered in her heart, and said playfully: "In this case, you have to serve the mutton fat white jade wine glass on hand, in case you smash one with a shake in your hand, it is worth ten thousand gold, and you can't afford to compensate for it." ”
Zhu Beichen's hands trembled when he heard this, hurriedly held his hands steady, and said with a frown: "What, this is mutton fat white jade, which is used to make wine glasses?" ”
July bit the corner of Yan Hong's mouth lightly, and said in a low voice: "The etiquette has been completed, there is no possibility of repentance between us, and all the assets and utensils of our family will be yours in the future, so you are not afraid that you will not be able to support a delicate wife." ”
“…… This, will the rice chew a little soft in the future! Zhu Beichen was completely speechless, whether he would raise himself in July or in July in the future.
July asked suspiciously: "The rice is chewed a little softly, is it the dialect of your Han nationality, what does it mean?" ”
Bright eyes blinked slightly, where did the girl in front of her still have the dignity of a great witch.
The current situation is obviously that of a small wife and woman, and he thinks that he should not explain to July again.
The rice has been cooked, and a wife with such a posture in July may not be able to arouse much envy and jealousy.
After the cups were staggered, Qiyue walked to the edge of the bed and took a silver box and put it in front of Zhu Beichen.
"This is an antiquity from more than a thousand years ago, and it was one of the two important objects that our clan brought back from Chengdu when the frost ancestors were born," Qiyue's expression became serious, explaining an extremely important event.
Everything in Heishui River, including July himself, was naturally prepared for Zhu Beichen. And the two Shu antiquities that the Yaoshuang clan has kept for thousands of years are waiting for this moment to be handed over to the descendants of the Zhuge clan.
Zhu Beichen muttered in his heart, the surface of the silver box left thousands of years ago has been covered with a thin layer of oxide, and a delicate copper lock seals the things inside, revealing a simple and heavy, making it difficult to guess what is stored inside.
"Have you seen what's inside?" Zhu Beichen asked.
July nodded slightly, she was curious when she was a child, and the copper lock had been opened by her once, and the objects stored in it were naturally clear.
"Nine Palace Locks?" Zhu Beichen looked at the copper lock on the silver box in surprise, and the delicate lock setting made him stunned.
A gold key is attached to the lock and is used to slide the keyhole of the Nine Palaces.
The changes of the nine-palace lock slip method are too cumbersome and extremely difficult to unravel in a short period of time.
Zhu Beichen looked at July with some difficulty, how did she get this lock before.
With a sneer, July obediently untied the golden key, sliding quickly to one side along the center of the Nine Palaces keyhole, and then to another.
The complicated techniques changed, and Zhu Beichen noticed that sporadic sparks continued to splash during the contact between the key and the keyhole on the surface of the copper lock.
Secretly sighing at the subtlety of the internal structure of the copper lock, is there still electricity stored in it?
Can the locksmiths of ancient times apply this technique to the lock manufacturing process? Besides, there was no electricity at all. How did today's electric sparks come about?
In a few breaths, the internal mechanism of the copper lock "clicked" and opened, and July slowly removed the lock.
The silver box opened a small gap, and a golden light bloomed through the opening, and the heaviness of the old antiquity emerged.
Everything is not as Zhu Beichen thought, and the poisonous arrows of thousands of years ago are revealed inside.
Because this is not the first time that the silver box has been opened, the misty white mist gradually dissipates into the air.
The whole inside of the silver box was displayed in front of Zhu Beichen, and the lining was paved with golden silk imperial silk, which looked extraordinarily luxurious.
There is not a wisp of dust inside, and it is hard to imagine that this is an antiquity brought back from Chengdu by Yaoshuang thousands of years ago, so what is the use of the things in it.
July picked up a letter in the silver box, asked Zhu Beichen with his eyes, and then opened the seal wax and handed it to him.
This is a letter from 1,800 years ago, and the recipient is a descendant of a family member.
The registration place is clearly written: Zhuge Kongming.
July intimately moved the lamp closer, next to Zhu Beichen, and the unique fragrance of his body was slowly filled.
His mind was a little flustered, and July's body was constantly approaching, causing his heart to fluctuate, and it was difficult to calm down, and his breath was full of the smell of July's body.
Zhu Beichen forced himself to calm down and carefully read the words on the letter.
I have to say that looking at Zhuge Liang's words, just like his amazing talent.
The handwriting is vigorous and powerful, and there is a strange demonic wisdom between the skimmings, and the ability to deal with life and things jumps on the paper.
After a while, Zhu Beichen obviously felt swollen and hot at the root of his ears, and his face was like a red-hot coal, and his breath fluctuated.
He blinked his eyes, swallowed his saliva, and warmed his dry throat and said, "July, you... It's a little too close, can you move a little away? I'm hot. ”
Qiyue was slightly stunned, observing that Zhu Beichen's face was a little wrong, and hurriedly approached the root of his ear and said, "Beichen, are you okay, why are your ears so hot?" ”
"You..." Zhu Beichen gritted his teeth with a red face, and sighed in his heart: If you look at me innocently like this again, get closer, I will really be in trouble.
After a break, Zhu Beichen closed the paper and fell into deep thought.
July was slightly stunned and asked patiently: "How is it, the content of the letter is helpful to you?" ”
The clay on the envelope was intact, and July did not know what was written inside.
He was sure that someone had tampered with the letter before it was sealed in the envelope, and the important paragraphs in it had been melted away by a special potion, and what was finally presented to Zhu Beichen was just an ordinary letter to his juniors.
The last thing in the silver box was a silk book, the whole volume was golden yellow, and he was sure that it was used by the royal family of the ancient Shu Kingdom at this time.
In July, the silk books were spread out, and the dense content of the silk books was presented.
"What, what do these dots and lines describe?" Zhu Beichen felt a tingling in his scalp.
