(26) The hand of the son
The wedding date is set for half a month later.
Dong Zhuo said that everything will be the best, because his smile is the best.
This half month is really busy, Dong Zhuo is busy recuperating from his injuries, and I am busy being a happy bride to be married.
Liu Xiangfu, Liu Zhi, and Liu's sister-in-law all left the Dong Mansion, and Liu Lian still stayed in the Dong Mansion as a housekeeper. On that day, he personally escorted his wife and children to make amends for my sins, but I avoided it, so the next day, Liu Xiangfu, Liu Zhi and Liu's sister-in-law left the Dong Mansion.
And Liu Lian became more and more serious and cautious in his work.
The multicolored stone path in the courtyard was halfway completed, and I put down the last multicolored stone in my hand, got up and stretched, quite satisfied with the fruits of my labor. At this rate, by the time the wedding arrives, this multicolored stone path will be completed.
I shook my sore arm, and I felt a little dizzy from the sun, so I planned to go back to the house and rest for a while.
As soon as I arrived at the gate of the courtyard, I saw Lu Bu sitting on the steps of my door, wiping his Fang Tian painting halberd with a bulging bag beside him. I couldn't help but be a little surprised, since he stuffed me with the piece of bamboo slip with an IOU that day, he hadn't appeared in front of me, and I thought that he, like Zhao Zilong, left without even saying hello.
"Daughter-in-law, you're back." When he looked up and saw me, his eyes lit up slightly, and he hurriedly picked up the halberd in one hand and the small bag in the other, and stood up.
“…… Don't call me daughter-in-law. I twitched the corners of my mouth, I had to make a name for myself again, after all, I was going to marry Dong Zhuo, and I believe that Lord Dong would not like his wife being called by another man one daughter-in-law.
Lu Bu was stunned for a moment, and then lowered his head: "Daughter-in-law, are you really going to marry Dong Zhuo?" ”
"Hmm."
After being quiet for a long time, he smiled, and his voice was a little lonely: "It turns out that this is true, I thought they were talking nonsense." ”
Seeing that he looked depressed, I was also a little uncomfortable, so I had to comfort him: "You will have someone you like." ”
Smiled a little helplessly, Lu Bu looked up at me: "I know, you said it, it's called Diao Chan." ”
I pursed my lips, suddenly speechless.
He scratched his head and reached out to hand me the bulging pouch in his hand.
"What is this?" I opened it suspiciously, and it was a bag full of five-bead coins, and I couldn't help but be stunned.
"There are sixty-three thousand two hundred and fifteen in it, and I owe you ninety-three thousand seven hundred and eighty-five dollars." He grinned, "But after your wedding is over, I plan to go back to Wuyuan, and I will pay you back when the rest of the money is enough." With that, he turned to leave.
When he reached the gate of the courtyard, his steps faltered slightly.
"It would have been nice if it had been me who had picked you up in the first place." Whispering, he left the courtyard.
I froze where I was.
As the wedding date approached day by day, the Dong Mansion was full of lights, and everywhere was full of festive atmosphere, from the guards guarding the door to the girls sweeping the floor, all of them were very busy.
Time always flies very quickly when people are happy, and in the blink of an eye, the wedding is just around the corner.
Sitting on the bed, I sat on the couch with my chin on my hands and stupid.
After tomorrow, I will be Mrs. Dong.
It's incredible, like a dream, after traveling through thousands of years of time and space, growing his body all over again, and finally marrying Dong Zhuo, the notorious traitor in history.
The corners of my mouth unconsciously rose slightly, but my eyelids gradually became heavier.
"Miss." A familiar voice rang in my ears.
I turned my head to look, and then froze: "Ling'er? ”
Ling'er appeared at some point, and she stood in front of me, her face gentle as usual, without the slightest hint of anger.
"I heard that the adult and the young lady are going to get married, and Ling'er is specially here to congratulate." She smiled.
I subconsciously backed away, trying to call someone, but found that I couldn't make a sound at all.
"Miss is married, Ling'er must give a big gift." She didn't seem to see the fear in my eyes, she said with a smile, and then high-fived, "Ah yes, I'll give you Chun'er's wedding dress." As she spoke, she pulled out a bloody wedding dress.
I can see it clearly, it is exactly the same as the wedding dress worn by Chun'er, who was forced to death by Dong Zhuo that day.
I turned around and tried to escape, but as soon as I turned around, there was a sharp pain in my waist, and I turned around with a frightened face, and I saw Ling'er holding a blood-dripping dagger in her hand, looking at me with a smile in her eyes, and there was bitter hatred in her eyes.
"Don't worry, you won't die for a while." Ling'er sneered.
"Smile ......" At this moment, Dong Zhuo pushed the door in, and after seeing the situation in the house, the smile disappeared from his lips.
Ling'er was slightly stunned, then grabbed my neck with her backhand and took a step back: "Get out of the way." ”
"Let her go!" Dong Zhuo gritted his teeth and said.
Seeing his nervous look, Ling'er laughed: "My lord, Ling'er is really surprised that you can panic sometimes." ”
"What do you want?" Sinking down, Dong Zhuo roared angrily.
With a "bang", the dagger that had just been stabbed on my waist was thrown in front of Dong Zhuo, and the dagger that shone with cold light still had my blood stains on it.
"I want you dead." Ling'er pinched my neck and sneered, "You die so she can live." ”
Hearing this, I was shocked, but I was choked by the neck, my face was red, but I couldn't even say a word, so I had to widen my eyes and shake my head desperately.
"See the wound on her waist? In less than half an hour, she will die of blood, have you thought about it? Who is better to die? Seeing that Dong Zhuo was just looking at me, Ling'er said with a smile.
I slowly lowered my head, and then I was horrified to find blood gushing out of the wound on my waist......
Dong Zhuo lowered his head and didn't look at me, then bent down, reached out and picked up the dagger that was still stained with my blood from the ground, and stabbed it into his chest without saying a word......
Time stood still, and I forgot to scream, forgot to shed tears, and could only watch in amazement as the blood slowly poured out of the dagger, soaking through his clothes.
Ling'er pushed me to the ground and burst into laughter, tears streaming down her face.
I lay on the ground, step by step, crawled to Dong Zhuo's side, and everywhere I reached out, it was bright red......
Zhong Ying...... Zhong Ying ...... "I reached out and gently pushed him, but he closed his eyes and didn't move, those slightly brown eyes, I can't see them anymore?"
Ling'er suddenly crouched down and approached me, her distorted face enlarged in front of me: "You know what? He died for you, He died for you! Hahaha, you are his dead end! He wouldn't have died without you! Nemesis! You're his nemesis! ”
"Nemesis ......"
Why did the world turn gray all of a sudden?
"Daughter-in-law, daughter-in-law......" A noisy voice kept ringing in my ears. I snapped my eyes open and saw a face magnified in front of me.
"Daughter-in-law, what's wrong with you? You've been shaking your head just now, and I can't wake you up. Lu Bu raised his hand and wiped the cold sweat on my forehead, "Are you caught in a nightmare?" ”
I looked at the clear eyes in front of me in a daze, and I couldn't come back to my senses for a while. Is it a dream? How can it be so real...... It's terrifyingly real.
"Daughter-in-law?" Seeing that I didn't speak, Lu Bu just looked at him in a daze, and couldn't help but be a little flustered, he patted my cheek, "No matter what you dream about, it's a nightmare, not real, don't be afraid." ”
I was still stunned, my body couldn't stop trembling lightly, and my mind was full of Dong Zhuo's blood. Looking down at the * who was holding it in his hand at some point, his fingers unconsciously crossed the string of the arrow, and with a slight tremble, it had left a bloody mark on the string.
The next moment, my fingertips were already in Lu Bu's mouth, and a warm feeling came from my fingertips, and I looked at Lu Bu in a daze.
"It's so sweet." Licking my fingertips unsatisfied, Lu Bu suddenly showed two small tiger teeth and smiled.
The cranky thoughts in my head were suddenly scattered by him, the corners of my mouth twitched, and I withdrew my hand: "Vampire, you!" ”
"Vampires?" Lu Bu looked at me aggrievedly, "You scolded me." ”
I shook my eyebrows, ignoring his pitiful appearance.
"Daughter-in-law, aren't you going to the embroidery workshop to get wedding clothes!" Seeing that I didn't pay attention to him, Lu Bu pulled me to stand up with a smile on his face, "I came to you to accompany you." "He looks even more positive than I am.
Because Dong Zhuo has to prepare the best for everything, there is not enough time, so I do many things myself, although it is hard, but it is not interesting.
"I'm not your daughter-in-law." The corners of my mouth twitched, and I corrected him.
"What will happen if you shout, I'm just having a good time anyway." Raising his hand and flicking my forehead lightly, Lubra grew his face, "When you really get married, I'll change my words." ”
I curled my lips and didn't contradict him again, and he pulled me out the door.
"Daughter-in-law, it's this shop, the best embroidery in Liangzhou City." Holding my hand, Lu Bu happily entered a shop all the way.
"This set is the wedding dress that Steward Liu changed a few days ago." As soon as he saw us, the shopkeeper hurriedly greeted us, holding a set of happy clothes.
"It's men's clothing, what about women's clothing?" I'm looking forward to it.
"The women's clothes were not made in the small shop, and Steward Liu said that he wanted to surprise the young lady." The shopkeeper smiled like Maitreya and said.
I nodded, took the men's outfit and looked at it, the workmanship was very fine.
"Let the groom try it and see if it fits." Seeing that I was looking closely, the shopkeeper smiled.
"The groom?" I was slightly stunned, Dong Zhuo didn't come.
On the side, Lu Bu was already happy, took the wedding dress and walked into the inner hall.
Probably because Lu Bu had a "daughter-in-law" that made the shopkeeper misunderstand, he pursed his lips, and saw that he was so happy, I didn't open my mouth after all.
After a while, I saw Lu Bu lift the curtain and come out, and the red wedding dress made his tall figure more and more handsome, and the whole person looked energetic.
"Daughter-in-law, look good." Glancing at me triumphantly, Lu Bu smiled.
I laughed and said solemnly: "It's not for you at all, it's ugly." ”
Hearing this, Lu Bu immediately collapsed: "Alas, I originally wanted to say that you think I'm more handsome, maybe I'll change my mind and marry me." ”
I couldn't help but laugh at first, but a trace of sourness flashed in my heart, what a stupid child.
Seeing me laughing, Lu Bu also scratched his head and laughed.
"You'll be happy." After giving him a haircut that was a little messy from the change of clothes, I spoke lightly.
"Hmm." Nodding heavily, Lu Bu smiled, "Yes, definitely, maybe as soon as I leave Liangzhou, I will be able to find my Diao Chan, hehe." ”
I knew in my heart that he was following my wishes and not making me sad, but when I thought about it, I became more and more uncomfortable.
After taking the wedding dress back to the house, I unconsciously walked to the door of Dong Zhuo's bedroom, stood in a daze for a long time, and finally pushed the door into the room.
Dong Zhuo was lying on the table, seemingly asleep. I stepped forward lightly, and saw a piece of silk pressed under his hand, on which was densely written what seemed to be a guest list. I glanced at the brush he was holding loosely in his hand, and I couldn't help but think of it, and carefully pulled the pen out of his hand, and I dipped it in the ink, drew two mustaches on his lips, and doubled his already thick eyebrows.
He still didn't move.
Looking at the appearance of him asleep, I suddenly remembered the terrible dream before, looking at the closed eyes, my heart suddenly throbbed, put down the brush, the ghost made a miracle, I reached out to his nose, felt his snort, and the heart that had been hanging settled down.
Looking at his sleeping face in a daze, I couldn't help but laugh at my own nervousness, thinking how open-minded I was, but it turned out to be nothing more than that.
My hand suddenly warmed, and when I looked at it again, Dong Zhuo had already held my hand.
"What's wrong, so cold?" Opening his slightly brown eyes, he looked at me and frowned.
"Uh...... Hehe, you're awake. A little embarrassed haha, I said with a smile. When I saw his two big thick eyebrows and two mustaches, the corners of my mouth twitched and I almost couldn't hold back my smile.
There was a hint of gentleness in the brown eyes, Dong Zhuo laughed, and the hand holding me pulled it slightly, and I fell into his arms.
"My smile is so impatient to throw myself into my arms, I have to be careful, how can I fall asleep?" He pinched my nose and smiled indulgently.
That doting expression appeared on that funny face, and it was indescribably funny.
"yes, yes, I can't wait to marry you." Nodding solemnly, I smiled and leaned into his arms, and the heart that had been worried returned to its original place.
"Won't you really regret it?" Resting his chin on top of my head, he suddenly spoke, "Since you gave me the opportunity to own you, I will go crazy if I lose you." ”
Hearing this, I looked up at him: "Crazy? How crazy? ”
"I don't know, I'm going to be a terrible person." His brown eyes darkened slightly, and he spoke slowly.
My heart shook slightly, and then I chuckled: "It's terrible, it seems that I have to think about it, unless you promise me a condition." ”
"Heh, I learned to talk about the conditions so quickly, let's say, what do you want for Xiaoxiao?" Sitting on my lap, he stroked my head and smiled nonchalantly.
"Will you give you anything you want?" Tilting my head to look at him, I said seriously.
"Give it all!" Dong Zhuo nodded, and gently tapped the tip of my nose dotingly, "Even if Xiaoxiao wants this country, Zhong Ying will send you down!" ”
"Don't, don't smile and don't want Jiangshan, and Zhong Ying is not allowed to ask for it." Pulling down the hand that lit the tip of my nose, I clasped my hands tightly, looked at him, and said, "I want Zhong Ying to accompany Xiaoxiao in Liangzhou for the rest of my life, and I won't go anywhere." ”
"That's what you want?" Slightly restrained his smile, Dong Zhuo looked at me and said.
"Hmm." Without hesitation, I nodded.
"Why do you want to be in Liangzhou all your life?" Dong Zhuo looked at me, "Isn't Luoyang good?" The most prosperous place in that big man. ”
Luoyang, Luoyang again, the place where the chaos began! I panicked and couldn't help but stand up and take a slight step back.
"Smiling?" Seeing that my face was wrong, Dong Zhuo said busily.
"Luoyang is an ominous place." Hanging my head, I said sullenly.
"Why do you say that?" Gently lifting my chin, he looked at me with doubts in his eyes.
"Because I'm a goddess." I lowered my head and hugged him tightly, "I will lose you when I get to Luoyang, so remember, don't go to Luoyang." ”
"Who the hell are you? Where did it come from? Sighing softly, Dong Zhuo hugged me tightly.
"I'm Zhong Ying's smile, it doesn't matter where I come from, the important thing is that I will always accompany Zhong Ying in Liangzhou in the future." I whispered, how can I explain that I am from a thousand years later? Can I foresee your future?
"Okay, if you don't go anywhere, you will accompany Xiaoxiao to live in Liangzhou for the rest of your life." Dong Zhuo patted my head gently, "I agreed to your conditions, if I lose you, I will really go crazy......"
I plunged into his arms: "No, I'll settle you with a smile, I've been like this since I was a child, and I can't get rid of it." ”
"Hmm."
After having dinner with Dong Zhuo in the room, I returned to my bedroom, and the corners of my mouth were curved so that I didn't know what it was.
I probably didn't sleep well for a few days, and now I put down the burden of my heart, and as soon as I was next to the pillow, I fell into a deep sleep, and the night was sweet and dreamless.
When I woke up the next morning, I went into the kitchen.
"Ah, what are you doing? It's all over the place. Lu Bu's voice sounded coldly behind me.
I looked back at him, and I wasn't angry, just smiled and focused on what I was doing.
"What is this?" Standing behind me curiously, poking his head out to look at what I was busy with in my hands, Lu Bu asked.
"I don't know." I smiled and raised the small thing in my hand, "This is called dumplings." ”
It's not a big deal, but with my level, it's amazing to be able to make dumplings.
"It's ugly." Lu Bu shook his head and said honestly without giving face, "That's what you're going to do when you drive out the cooks and maids?" ”
I glanced at him, then smiled again, "We all have to eat this on our wedding night in our hometown." ”
"yes?" Lu Bu looked left and right, and Leng Buding stretched out his hand and threw one into his mouth.
"Huh?" I was startled and hurriedly pouted his mouth, "Spit and spit out, spit it out, it's raw!" ”
Without waiting for me to do anything, he vomited first: "It's so unpalatable." ”
Laughing and watching him stick out his tongue, I couldn't imagine his previous fierceness on the battlefield: "Eat this." "I took a piece of cut fruit and stuffed it into his mouth, I lowered my head and continued to work hard to make my dumplings, it was really hard to make.
Originally, I had to make nine, but I was finally finished and Lu Bu spit out one, so I had to redo it.
"Do you want me to help? Do you want me to help? With a look of eagerness, Lu Bu rolled up his sleeves and said.
"Don't!" I hurriedly stopped him, "You're going to go out into the street and buy me a present!" "Just kidding, he doesn't help more and more when he plays.
"Gifts?" His face was full of question marks.
"Let's just say you're not sensible, aren't we buddies? Right, is Dong Zhuo your leader? Right. How can you not give a gift? "Listening to what I said in a bunch of clouds, Lu Bu went out to buy me a gift with some indigestion.
Without Lu Bu's trick-or-treating, I quickly finished the last dumpling, and after serving the dumplings that were finally completed, I walked out of the kitchen.
The new house was furnished, and I placed the bowl with the dumplings on the table and looked at my masterpiece with a smile.
"What is this?" Dong Zhuo's voice sounded coldly behind me.
"Dumplings."
"What's it for?" Curiously glancing, Dong Zhuo said.
"Eat." The answer was clear and concise.
Dong Zhuo was not ambiguous, and reached out to take it.
I hurriedly slapped his hand away: "Not now, it's tomorrow night." ”
"Why?" Dong Zhuo frowned puzzled.
"It's raw dumplings! Raw, raw! It means 'to give birth to a child', and to ask for good luck. I smiled, without the shyness of a bride.
"Having children?" Dong Zhuo was slightly stunned, and his face turned suspiciously red.
Yes? I looked at him in a daze, my jaw almost dropped, and I actually blushed? Master Dong, you don't take the route of innocence, do you......
"Hmm." I nodded solemnly, "Okay, if you want family planning, I only give birth to one, and I never have a second child, and it is very difficult to maintain my figure after giving birth." "Not only do I not know how to be shy, but I am also ashamed to say that if my mother is here, I will definitely reward me with a chestnut storm, afraid that I will scare the groom away.
"Family planning?" Dong Zhuo was slightly stunned, full of question marks.
I smiled widely.
Although he was confused, Dong Zhuo still reached out and hugged me into his arms, and smiled: "It's okay to say anything with a smile." ”
I leaned into Dong Zhuo's arms, laughing to myself, but suddenly noticed a shadow outside the door.
It's incense.
I frowned slightly, didn't she already leave the Dong Mansion, how could she be here?
Dong Zhuo followed my gaze to the door, and then restrained his smile: "Why are you here?" ”
"The adult and the young lady got married, and I asked my father to come to the house to help." Xiangfu said timidly, "Miss said that day that Xiangfu was self-conscious, Xiangfu was sincere to help, and there would never be any thoughts that should not be there." ”
Yixi's words were very sincere, and I thought that at this point, she should not do anything stupid again. What's more, Uncle Liu is quite safe in doing things, so it's not good to save his face too much.
"Tomorrow is the day of the wedding, and the bride and groom should avoid seeing each other for the time being, otherwise it will be unlucky." Seeing that I didn't refuse, Xiangfu took a step back slightly, bowed her head and said respectfully, the sunlight outside the house was softly spread on her body, looking so gentle and harmless.
"Really?" Dong Zhuo frowned and gently let go of my hand.
My fingers gradually couldn't feel the temperature of his palm, and for some reason, I panicked, and held his hand with my backhand, refusing to let go.
Reaching out and gently taking me into his arms, Dong Zhuo stroked my head: "After tomorrow, we will be together for the rest of our lives." "The voice was incredibly gentle.
"My lord, the new house needs to be checked again, to see if there is anything missing, please go back to the room first." The incense covering standing in the doorway spoke again.
Dong Zhuo ignored her, but still took my hand and walked out of the new house together. He doesn't believe in ghosts, he only believes in himself, but now he is willing to follow the rules for me, that's because he really cares about me.
His bedroom is in the east courtyard, my bedroom is in the west courtyard, standing at the door of the new house with colorful lights and extraordinary magnificence, he holds my hand and opens it easily: "See you tomorrow." ”
"See you tomorrow." I smiled and opened my hand, my fingertips running across the cold air, back to my side.
Turning around, I went back to my room.
If I could foresee my own future, then at this moment, no matter what, I would not let go of his hand, absolutely not.
All night, I was in a daze, and the smile on my lips must have looked like a fool. Did happiness come to me like that?
When I got up early the next morning, I saw a row of maidservants standing beside the bed, the leader of whom was holding a big red box in his hand.
"Madame is overjoyed."
When I woke up, everyone was busy smiling and bending down to say hello.
"Thank you." Clothed in my clothes, I got up and got out of bed, the corners of my eyes and eyebrows were full of happiness, and all the darkness disappeared today. I actually got married, I thought I would be single for a lifetime, I actually got married, and it was in the late Eastern Han Dynasty that I married Dong Zhuo as my wife, as soon as I thought of this, I couldn't stop curling my lips.
Everything seems so incredible.
In the fairy tale when she was a child, the little match girl did not wait for the prince's salvation and froze to death on that lively Chinese New Year's Eve. And I, who traveled through thousands of years of time and space, was picked up by Dong Zhuo on that snowy day, although it was only a grass house, although it was not a prince.
But, I'm really happy.
My bridegroom turned out to be Dong Zhuo, and before the age of twenty-nine, I would never have dreamed that I would marry such a notorious person in history. If Dong Zhuo doesn't go to Luoyang, then there will be no Dong Zhuo in history, and I don't want to pay attention to how to continue the history in the future, because I am already a little carried away with happiness.
Turning around and glancing at the big red box, I was a little curious: "What's that?" ”
"Madame's wedding dress, Steward Liu sent it early in the morning."
My favorite dress? Some of them opened the lid expectantly, and a bright red wedding robe was neatly folded inside the box, shining brightly, so delicate and beautiful that people couldn't take their eyes off it.
"Madame, please, change your clothes." The maidservant on the side put on white silk gloves, and then reached out and took out the wedding robe, and the satin-like smooth fabric shook lightly in front of me, and there was a faint flow of light and shadow in it, which was dizzying.
I looked at the dazzling dress like fire, as long as I put it on, I would be Dong Zhuo's woman. The corners of my mouth unconsciously raised, and I could almost see that happiness was already beckoning to me in front of me.
"Madam, after wearing this wedding dress, the bride can no longer have any contact with others, only the groom can touch it." The servant girl pursed her lips and chuckled, and stepped forward to change into my wedding dress.
"Okay." I smiled and nodded in agreement, reaching out to put on the dress.
"Wait a minute." Lu Bu didn't know when he broke into the house, but he actually pulled me away in front of everyone.
I was dumbfounded and dragged out of the house by him, and finally came back to my senses and hurriedly shook him off: "Wait, what are you doing?" I don't want to be a runaway bride! ”
Lu Bu didn't make a sound, just lowered his head slightly, looking at his hand that had been thrown away, the long hair on his forehead covered his clear eyes, leaving a dark shadow under his eyes.
"What's wrong, you?" Seeing that he was a little unusual, I lowered my voice and spoke cautiously.
After being quiet for a long time, he suddenly raised his head with a bright smile on his face: "I'll give you a wedding gift." ”
I just remembered what I said to him yesterday, I didn't expect him to take it seriously, and I removed the doubts on my face, and I smiled expectantly: "What is it?" ”
He smiled and held out his hand.
I looked down at his hand, and he was holding a red square scarf embroidered with gold thread, which was very chic.
He raised his hand and put the red square cloth over my head, and I didn't dodge it, allowing the smooth cloth to hang down in front of me, obscuring my face.
The hands tightened slightly, holding me in their arms, I was slightly startled, and I couldn't see anything in front of me because of the hijab.
"Don't move, it's the last time, and when I put on my wedding dress, I won't be able to hold you like this again." I was about to push him away, but suddenly my voice came to my ears.
I calmed down, didn't struggle anymore, and let him hold me. Just leaning on his arms like that, it was very quiet all around, this was the backyard, and few people came. Just leaning on him so quietly, I seemed to hear something shatter in his left chest......
"Happy newlyweds, smile." After a long time, he finally spoke in a low voice.
This time, he didn't call me "daughter-in-law".
