Chapter 42: The Day of Joy
Su Lin refolded the piece of paper and put it in his clothes, returned to the house, and took out the knife he had used on the battlefield back then, he had sharpened and sharpened the knife in the past few days, and it had become as sharp as it was back then.
Luo Huainan writes at the table, carefully calculating the items and expenses that need to be purchased on the wedding day, she has recently learned to cook, and her cooking skills have improved rapidly.
As usual, she talked to him about the trivial matters of firewood, rice, oil and salt, and said that the travel expenses to Beijing to catch the exam had been saved.
In the dead of night, Luo Huainan had already gone to bed, and Su Lin still stayed in the front yard to sharpen his blade.
The night became the time he was most afraid of, because he didn't know how to refuse Luo Huainan, and it was too far-fetched to refuse to be married before he was married, especially if the woman brought it up.
He had politely refused many times, and every time he could see Luo Huainan's lost expression and her questioning of herself, Su Lin didn't want to continue to break her heart, so he had to go to bed every night after Luo Huainan fell asleep.
Of course, in fact, Su Lin didn't think about agreeing with the other party, and even he thought it was a good way to identify it before.
He remembered that when he used to dream, it was difficult for him to wake up, whether it was a nightmare or a sweet dream, and only when he had a spring dream, he would suddenly wake up, and many times he slept very deeply, and still woke up.
So is it possible to wake up just by trying it here once?
This kind of thought was had, but it was quickly vetoed by Su Lin, this is not as simple as a dream, and he has already come up with a solution.
He was also afraid of becoming closer to Luo Huainan.
He was afraid that he would not be able to cut himself by then.
……
Three days later, it was finally the day when he and Luo Huainan got married.
Everyone in the village came, and Liu Xianling also came to congratulate and sent a pair of words.
In Daxia, grassroots officials in their own jurisdiction, when they encounter the great joy or mourning of the people, they must participate in it no matter what, they do not have to participate in the whole process, but they must be present to express their hearts, which is not included in the law, but is tacitly accepted by the rules, as for the origin of this unspoken rule, there is nowhere to investigate.
The broken red paper fluttered in the air at the door, the firecrackers exploded on the ground, like a red snake writhing and rolling on the ground, and the welcoming team beat the gongs and drums loudly, and the suona in the mouth was blown down.
Su Lin raised his head, the sky was clear today, and the temperature was comfortable, it seemed that God was deliberately helping him.
Getting married is a very cumbersome matter, and there are complicated rituals in the middle, but because Luo Huainan's background is very special, she does not have a maiden family, so the marriage ceremony is simplified a lot, and the step of picking up the bride has also changed from going to her mother's house to picking up people, to Su Lin's grandfather's old house, and taking her to the new house that has just been built.
Su Lin came to his grandfather's old house under the support of everyone, he tidied up his wedding clothes, crossed the threshold, and walked into the house.
Su Lin lifted the curtain and walked into the inner room, and saw Luo Huainan wearing a red hijab sitting on the bed, the wedding dress she was wearing was not exquisite, but she was a natural hanger, even if she wore such clothes, she still looked better than all the brides Su Lin had ever seen.
Su Lin was a little happy in his heart, this scene made him involuntarily think of a happy life in the future.
He and Luo Huainan may be ordinary, but they may also be extraordinary, they have the foresight of a time-traveler, they understand the thoughts of the current emperor better, and they also want to continue to change this society.
In the future, he may become an official in the court, he will become a good official, and Luo Huainan will also become a good wife.
This kind of life, and the terrifying immortal cultivation life in his fantasy, I don't know how many times better.
"Huainan, let's go." Su Lin gently took Luo Huainan's hand and led her outside.
At this moment, his grandfather had gone to his new house, where he was waiting for his grandson and granddaughter-in-law to meet and serve tea, although such a wedding ceremony was too simple, but it was exactly what Su Lin wanted.
As soon as he walked out of the house, the band that greeted him was even more cheerful, and Su Lin was in a commotion, holding Luo Huainan to take the high-headed horse borrowed by Zhang Yuan's family, and he led the horse in front.
When they arrived at the new house, Su Lin picked Luo Huainan off the horse and led her through the door.
The yard was spotlessly cleaned, and there was a wooden box in the far corner of the yard, perhaps the cleaner thought that he had put farm tools at that time, but in it was the knife he sharpened last night.
"Hahaha, Xiao Lin is about to become an adult" A hearty laugh came from behind him, Ma Yong walked through the crowd, came to Su Lin, and patted him on the shoulder, "Then come to the Inspector's Mansion and work under me!" ”
Su Lin smiled slightly, but did not speak, his gaze slowly swept over the crowd, and saw Wang Xiaofeng standing in the corner of the crowd, looking at them with a smile.
Then Nan Zhixian squeezed out of nowhere, held Su Lin's hand and said congratulations, and stuffed a few balls into his palm.
Su Lin cast an inquiring look at Nan Zhixian, and the rough man raised his eyebrows, suppressed his throat and said, "As I told you last time, I used the balls rubbed out of the grass, just eat one, eat too much...... Tomorrow you'll be working in the field, hehe. ”
Su Lin couldn't laugh or cry, but he still put away the balls.
Then, Su Lin let go of Luo Huainan's hand, and at the moment of letting go, Luo Huainan also pulled him, as if he was a little nervous, but Su Lin still broke away.
"That's it, I'm afraid I won't be able to do it later."
Su Lin said as he walked towards the box in the corner.
The words he muttered to himself were diluted by the festive atmosphere, and no one even paid attention to them, until he left the bride far away and came to a corner of the courtyard alone, and everyone who came to the wedding cast puzzled eyes.
In front of everyone, Su Lin opened the box and took out a long knife from it.
"Poof!"
The cold blade is out of the sheath.
The laughter of the guests came to an abrupt end, and everyone looked at Su Lin in confusion with puzzled expressions.
Ma Yong restrained his smile at first, he subconsciously touched his waist, but he felt empty, and then he realized that he didn't bring a knife to the wedding today.
"Master Ma, don't worry, I've got it for you."
Su Lin raised his foot expressionlessly and kicked the box at his feet towards the other party.
The box toppled over, and several long knives were scattered inside, as well as kitchen knives, sickles, and scissors.
"Xiao Lin, what do you mean by this?" Ma Yong said vigilantly, he took a few steps to the weapon on the ground, but still didn't pick it up.
Su Lin held the knife, moved quietly, walked to the door, closed the door with his heel, and tied the wooden stick with his other hand, blocking the way for everyone to leave the courtyard
"Brother Su, what are you going to do! Put the knife down! ”
Wang Xiaofeng walked out of the crowd and walked towards Su Lin without fear, wanting to press Su Lin's hand.
And Su Lin didn't hesitate, he stabbed out directly, and the sharp tip of the knife smoothly pierced Wang Xiaofeng's shoulder, and the blood stained the white shirt.
