Chapter 64: Tying the Knot
Then there was another sound of horns, the wedding sedan chair rose in response, Xiao Moyao rode back onto the horse, walked in front, and everyone followed out of the Lin family and rushed towards Xiao Moyao's home on the mountain.
After about half an hour, the wedding sedan finally stopped bumpily.
Xi Po hurriedly lifted the curtain of the wedding sedan chair, stretched out a hand and handed it to Lin Yao, "Bride, get off the sedan chair." ”
Lin Yao put her hand on Xi Po's wrist and got off the wedding sedan chair with her strength.
The first step in getting off the wedding sedan chair was to cross the brazier, and Yao's mother had already told her a thousand times last night, so Lin Yao followed Xi Po and walked slowly.
Sure enough, just as she was thinking about it, Xi Po shouted, "Cross the brazier." ”
Lin Yao couldn't see the road with her hijab, she could only see her wedding shoes with red background and gold thread, so she slowly moved her steps a little helplessly, Xi Po also knew that she was nervous, and said carefully close to her ear, "Bride, the brazier is three steps in front of you, you just stride over." ”
Lin Yao let out an almost inaudible "um", then took a big step forward with confidence, and then strode over the brazier.
Instantly, the surrounding villagers clapped their hands with joy.
Stepping over the brazier, Xiao Moyao was holding a cloth belt with a big red flower tied in the middle and waiting for Lin Yao, seeing Lin Yao walking towards him, Xiao Moyao hooked his lips and stuffed the other end of the cloth belt into her hand, and said in a low voice, "Follow me." ”
Lin Yao under the hijab hooked her lips and nodded, her little hand tightly holding the red cloth belt and following Xiao Moyao towards the main seat.
Because Xiao Moyao had no father and no mother, only Yao's mother sat on the main seat, and when she saw the newcomer walking towards her, Yao's mother couldn't help but smile and wipe her tears.
The newcomer walked to the main seat and stopped, and then the speaker on the side walked out with a smile and shouted to everyone, "The good fate of Qi Heaven and Earth, by the will of the parents, today, the daughter of the Lin family and the son of the Xiao family, the talented woman, tie the knot!"
There was another round of applause and congratulations.
"Worship heaven and earth!"
Lin Yao and Xiao Moyao bowed to everyone.
"Second worship high hall!"
The two bowed to Yao's mother.
"Husband and wife worship each other!"
Lin Yao and Xiao Moyao stood opposite each other, glanced at each other affectionately through the hijab, and then leaned down and bowed to each other.
"Send to the cave!"
"Hahaha, it's sent to the cave room!"
"Congratulations!"
“……”
Because according to customary etiquette, Xiao Moyao needed to entertain guests outside, so only Lin Yao was taken into the new room.
In the new house, there are red silk cloth and paper-cutting everywhere, it is very festive, Xi Po happily led Lin Yao to the bed in the back room, and the bed was placed on the quilt sewn by Yao's mother a few days ago, and there was thick and warm cotton in it, so it looked very thick, and there were many peanuts and longan embedded in it.
Lin Yao was led to sit down, and was suddenly furrowed by a butt of peanuts and longan, but he still sat on it obediently according to etiquette.
The Xi Po on the side could be regarded as having completed the task, and instructed Lin Yao to sit well, and waited intently for the groom to come and lift the hijab, and then left happily.
This marriage is enough to give her ten taels of silver wages, she has been engaged in the Xi Po industry for twenty or thirty years, are just around a few villages, the village is poor, give her only a few dozen dollars, the most is a few hundred dollars, the first time I met the patron of the ten taels of silver, this day is really worth it.
After Xi Po left, Lin Yao couldn't hold back any longer, her body collapsed instantly, she licked her dry lips, she has been busy since she woke up in the morning today, only a bowl of rice soup she drank when she woke up, her mouth with an empty stomach now returns to sour water, her lips are still dry, and now she is really hungry, thirsty and tired.
At the latest, Yao's mother also told her that she couldn't eat anything today, and she must hold back, so that it would be auspicious in the future, but Lin Yao would not believe in this customary etiquette, so she listened attentively, and after seeing that the footsteps outside the house were getting farther and farther away, she hooked her lips and lifted the corner of her hijab, looked around, and sure enough, she saw a few plates of delicate pastries and a pot of water that I don't know what it was on the table in the middle of the room.
Lin Yao licked her lips, hung the corner of the hijab on her head, walked over with drool, pinched a piece of pastry and ate it, but because she ate too quickly, she choked instantly, she was busy coughing while picking up the kettle on the side and pouring it into her mouth, but it was so spicy that she choked on tears in an instant.
This pot is not tea at all, but wine, Lin Yao had never even drunk a beer in her previous life, let alone poured such a strong liquor at once, her nose and throat were full of hot pain, and tears couldn't stop flowing for a while.
This is what Xiao Moyao saw when he came in, Lin Yao saw him come in, and immediately pursed his lips aggrievedly, tears flowed even happier, Xiao Moyao hurriedly walked over to comfort her, but he didn't expect Lin Yao to suddenly put down the hijab in a hurry.
Xiao Moyao suddenly couldn't cry or laugh, walked over and held Lin Yao's little hand, took her into his arms, patted her back, and coaxed softly, "What's wrong?" Scared? ”
Lin Yao hugged his fine waist, and said angrily, "I'm so hungry, I haven't eaten for a day, you only have wine here, I thought it was water, and I poured several mouthfuls at once, which made me uncomfortable." ”
Hearing this, Xiao Moyao was very distressed, he endured the etiquette and didn't lift the little girl's hijab, he sneaked in now, and it wasn't time to lift the hijab, so he could only reach in and wipe the tears on Lin Yao's face with his hand, and coaxed, "Good, don't cry, I'll ask Ah Rin to bring you some water later, huh?" ”
Lin Yao nodded obediently, and then let go of him, "You go out quickly and come back early." ”
She knew that he was just taking time out to see her, and that there were a lot of people waiting for him outside, and she couldn't keep him for long.
Xiao Moyao let out a "hmm", then lowered his head and kissed Lin Yao's eyes through the hijab before leaving.
Not long after he left, a man in black fell on the roof, it was Rin, and he respectfully put a pot of tea on the table, "Madam, the tea has arrived, you can use it slowly." ”
Lin Yao said "um" softly, and after Ah Rin left, Lin Yao walked over and began to gobble up, eating for a full quarter of an hour, Lin Yao touched her little belly with satisfaction, and regardless of the pile on the table, she walked to the bed and sat down.
Lin Yao just listened to the noisy sound outside, sat quietly on the bed, and slowly she gradually couldn't support it anymore, closed her eyes, leaned on the bed frame on the side, and began to snore a little.
Suddenly, "Bang!" With a bang, the door was kicked open, and Lin Yao was awakened instantly, and with instinct, he hurriedly sorted out his appearance.
"Hahaha! Sister-in-law, it's me, I didn't expect it. It was Murong Xuanyi's cheap voice.
Lin Yao couldn't help frowning slightly, "Why are you coming in?" ”
Murong Xuanyi couldn't hear the disgust inside, so he picked up his robe and sat on the stool on the side, crossed Erlang's legs and said, "Hmph, your man is shameless, a few days ago, he was stunned to pull me to play chess and bet on silver, I was inferior to him in chess, so of course he refused, but he actually mocked Lao Tzu for being cowardly, can this master bear it?!So he fought with him for a day and a night, and he was stunned and cheated away a thousand taels of silver from Lao Tzu!" Saying that, he glanced at Lin Yao gloatingly, and said, "Hehe, it's okay, the gentleman takes revenge, it's not too late for ten years, I'll be caught, let me tell you, if you don't turn the two of you in the cave room upside down today, Lao Tzu won't leave today!"
Hearing this, Lin Yao couldn't help twitching the corners of her mouth, this ancestor.
"Really? Not leaving? Xiao Moyao's deep voice sounded from outside the door, so frightened that Murong Xuanyi instantly jumped up and stood up straight, then he looked at Xiao Moyao with his lips tensed, puffed out his chest, and said hatefully, "That's right, I'm going to make trouble in the cave room today, what's the matter!" I'll tell you, I've brought all the people, a full twenty people, hehe, look at your wise and martial General Xiao must not be in a hurry tonight!"
Xiao Moyao didn't care about his howl on the side, but walked up to Lin Yao with a tender face, shook her little hand, and asked in a low voice, "Are you tired?" ”
Lin Yao had already seen Zhou Gong, so she shook her head very honestly, and Xiao Moyao hooked her lips and sat down beside her.
Murong Xuanyi saw that these two people ignored him, and instantly jumped to his feet in anger, "Hey, I don't believe that Lao Tzu is powerful." As he spoke, he clapped his hands and said sheepishly, "Tonight you will wait to enter the cave room with twenty strong men." ”
But the two of them still ignored him, and Murong Xuanyi waited confidently for a while.
But...... No one?
Murong Xuanyi turned his head and glanced out of the door with some confusion, it was indeed that no one came in, and when he went out, he was so angry that he was angry, and a row of big men fell to the ground together, and he knew who did it without asking.
Murong Xuanyi was so angry that he was so angry, he was obviously well disguised, how could he be seen through by disguising these twenty people as people who greeted him? Damn, he knew that Xiao Moyao, the dead boy, was a stone in the pit, and it was very difficult to gnaw.
After Xiao Moyao and Lin Yao said a few thoughtful words, they gave Murong Xuanyi a look, cold to the bone, you dare to make trouble on Lao Tzu's wedding day, your courage is commendable.
So he said slowly, "I have just passed the book to Old Prince Murong, and he will send someone to pick you up soon." ”
"What?!" Murong Xuanyi's eyes widened in anger, and then he cried with a face, "Ah Yan, we are brothers, how can you be so ruthless, you are so ruthless." ”
Lin Yao twitched the corners of her mouth under the hijab, this Murong Xuanyi, a complaining accusation, is here to be funny.
Xiao Moyao was not affected at all, as if he was used to it, "No discussion, now, go out, otherwise you know the consequences." ”
Murong Xuanyi naturally knew Xiao Moyao's methods, and he was also happy for him today, so he was so afraid of provoking him like this, and he understood that if he was in a hurry, it would be easier than just being sent home.
