001: The wedding feast is empty
In the month of Qingzhou City, the snow covers the huge courtyard, making the red lanterns hanging under the eaves particularly eye-catching.
The bride sitting in the sedan chair took off her hijab, and her beautiful face showed a little unease.
Today is her big day, it is said that the auspicious time has passed, the sedan chair should stop outside the gate, waiting for the groom to pick up, but no, several sedan chair men carried her straight from the gate into the inner courtyard, there is no laughter of the guests at the wedding banquet, surprisingly quiet.
Before going down the mountain, the master gave her a divination, saying that this trip was dangerous, but she had heard that the young master of the Shen family was in poor health, and she didn't know where this danger came from.
It's just that I can't pick up my relatives, but it's a big family with a name and a surname in Qingzhou, how can there be no guests on this happy day?
It's weird!
"Stop the sedan chair-" An old woman's voice came from outside, Nan Zhao hurriedly put down the hijab, and soon, the woman opened the curtain and politely said to her: "The old man helped the young lady get off the sedan chair!" β
Young lady?
Nan Zhao is a little unfamiliar with this title, but wearing this red wedding dress, he also has a bit of resignation!
The old woman helped her out of the sedan chair, and soon arrived at the hall, but there was still no sound around, only the woman shouted: "The auspicious time has come, and the newlyweds will worship the church!" β
The voice is sharp, listening from the echo, you can know that this hall is empty and spacious, and it is auspicious to be lively to do a happy event.
At this time, the woman came to her with a red rope, and there was a person on the other side of the red rope, and from the limited line of sight, Nan Zhao caught a glimpse of the man wearing a pair of red wedding shoes.
The groom's officer?
The old woman shouted, "Worship heaven and earthβ"
She knelt down slowly when she heard the sound, and worshiped heaven and earth as respectfully as she used to worship Lao Jun in the temple.
The woman shouted again, "Second worship the high church!" β
"Husband and wife worship each otherβ"
Nan Zhao got up from the ground, heard this, turned to her groom's side, leaned slightly, a gust of wind blew in the lobby, and lifted her hijab a little, she inadvertently saw that there was a groom standing opposite, it didn't seem to be the groom's official, she immediately reached out and opened the hijab, and what greeted her was an old woman's wrinkled face, and the other party sternly warned: "Young lady, this move is unlucky!" β
On the other side of the gate, two maids helped a man in a wedding robe out.
"The young lady should listen to the old man!" After the old woman finished speaking, she restored the hijab for Nan Zhao and personally sent her back to the cave room.
Nan Zhao has been restless since he got on the sedan chair of the Shen family, and at this time, he couldn't help but ask hard: "Mother-in-law, why didn't you hear other guests in the house today?" β
The old woman replied very usually: "The eldest young master of our family is not in good health, he likes to be clean, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, everything is simple, but the young lady can rest assured, the Shen family will not treat you badly!" β
After hearing this, Nan Zhao thought secretly, this eldest young master of the Shen family is probably ill, and he was supported by two maids when he went out just now, can this still be a cave room?
At this time, the old woman suddenly said to her, "They all call me Nianpo, and the young lady can also call me like this, and they will look for me in the future affairs." β
"Good!" Nan Zhao agreed.
Nian Po said again: "By the way, the young master has a stubborn illness, so naturally he is different from others, so the young lady doesn't have to make a fuss. β
The door of the new house opened, and the old woman invited her in, while she remained outside.
"Gas-" The door of the new room behind him closed, and the old woman said outside, "The eldest young master is already waiting for the young lady inside!" β
Nan Zhao swallowed her mouth, she grew up in the Taoist temple since she was a child, she didn't understand the etiquette of the vulgar family at all, for fear that she had done something wrong to attract gossip, so she had to stand motionless by the door.
She waited for a while, knowing that her husband was unwell, so she walked forward, and after a few steps, she touched the table legs and chairs, sat down by herself, and took the lead in saying, "You and I have worshiped heaven and earth, and in the future, you will be my husband......
The room was as quiet as ever, and her husband really didn't even want to respond to a "hmm".
Nan Zhao held back the fire in her heart, and after waiting for a long time, she was tired of standing, so she asked, "Can the husband come over first to help Nan Zhao take off the hijab on his head?" β
Still didn't respond, she thought to herself, could it be that the young master of the Shen family is still a dumb person?
After more than half an hour, Nan Zhao sat with a sore body, coughed lightly and proposed: "If Fujun is unwell, then Nan Zhao will remove this hijab for Fujun, right?" β
After speaking, she reached out and took off the hijab from her head, and looked up at the bed.
Nan Zhao saw a man lying flat on the bed, dressed in a red wedding robe, his eyes closed, as if he was asleep.
The other party was a few years older than her, and her face was dyed with a halo of candle flames, which was a little blurry, and she had to get closer to see it clearly.
Xu had just sat for too long, and after a few steps forward, her feet went limp, and she fell, and her eyes inadvertently swept over the black men's shoes neatly placed in front of the bed.
Huh, black?
Not long ago, when he visited the church, Nan Zhao saw the red wedding shoes worn by the groom's official, so he worked hard for a while, how did he change a pair?
Still is...... The person who worshipped her just now was clearly different?
"Husband, can you hear me?" Nan Zhao got up and went back in that direction.
The person on the bed lay motionless, and the closer she got, the more Nan Zhao saw that something was wrong with the young master of the Shen family, so she first reached out to the other party's nose, and then suddenly withdrew it, and her heart sank.
This...... This young master of the Shen family is out of breath!
