Chapter 177: A Bleak Wedding
Half in the morning, the little scholar only brought back a short red candle. Seeing that Guo Shuzhen was unconscious, he waited on the side. After a while, Guo Shuzhen woke up, and when he saw the little scholar, he asked, "Little scholar!" Where's the wedding stuff you got it?".
The little scholar thought that Guo Shuzhen would forget about it when he woke up, but seeing that she asked like this, he immediately took out the small half of the red candle from his pocket, "I found this, or stole it from the shrine of the father-in-law of the land on the side of the road!".
Guo Shuzhen smiled, if he can have a person who sincerely protects him in his last moments, he will not be alone when he leaves this world. Say softly, "Click!".
The little scholar went to the burning oil lamp, lit a small half of the red candle, came to the bed where Guo Shuzhen slept, and looked at her face, the little scholar helped Guo Shuzhen to sit up, put on a pillow and leaned against the wall, Guo Shuzhen was hard to support, but his heart was happy, and he looked at the little scholar with a smile, the two were not children, and they really wanted to go back and forth to the real wedding, but this time it was difficult, I don't know how to proceed next, the two looked at each other.
After all, the little scholar was old, and he had an idea at once, "Let's go to the church, I'll do the action, you nod and count, how about it?".
This is a way, Guo Shuzhen nodded appreciatively, "Okay!" That's all!".
The little scholar brought a wooden stool and put it in the middle, fixed the candle on the stool, looked at Guo Shuzhen and smiled, nodded and signaled, "Let's start!", Guo Shuzhen also nodded with a smile.
The little scholar shouted: "Worship heaven and earth!", the little scholar knelt on the bed and bowed to the door, Guo Shuzhen held it hard, nodded his head deeply, and the little scholar shouted again: "Two worship the high hall!", the little scholar bowed again, Guo Shuzhen nodded his head with some difficulty this time, and the little scholar shouted again: "Husband and wife bow to each other!", the little scholar stood up and bowed to Guo Shuzhen, Guo Shuzhen looked at the little scholar and nodded. The little scholar followed the celebrant procedure and shouted: "Send it to the cave room!", the little scholar stood up and walked around, came to Guo Shuzhen and sat down in front of him, "Okay!" We are husband and wife now, and we will have a cave house when you grow up.".
Guo Shuzhen smiled happily, thought for a while and said, "Then you kiss the bridge of my nose, it can be regarded as our skin-to-skin relationship.", said and looked at the little scholar affectionately.
The little scholar was a little shy, "I'm the first time to kiss a woman, you just bear with it!", he stretched out his head as he spoke, kissed Guo Shuzhen on the bridge of his nose, and kissed Guo Shuzhen on the lips without leaving, which made Guo Shuzhen a little surprised, but he was willing to be happy.
The little scholar leaned against the wall excitedly and said happily: "Even if I die in battle in the future, I will also be a person with a wife!".
Guo Shuzhen looked at the little scholar affectionately, and her heart was like thousands of ants catching her, she was also a married person when she died, and some people remembered that she was a blessed person. The little scholar looked at Guo Shuzhen and was also worried, he didn't know how long he could live, a kind of belief came to his heart, and said to Guo Shuzhen: "I won't let you die, I'm still waiting for you to grow up and officially marry you, and I'll send it to Xi'an tomorrow!", this is enough, no matter what happens tomorrow, no matter whether you can live in this world, before bidding farewell to this world, there is a confidant and a companion who will accompany you in this life without regrets.
The little scholar took out a flute made of wolf bones from his body, with a small jade pendant tied to a red rope, "I'll play a mountain tune for you!", Guo Shuzhen smiled and nodded, the little scholar played very devotedly, looking at her from time to time, Guo Shuzhen listened very attentively, and smiled from time to time.
After finishing the song, the little scholar handed the bone flute to Guo Shuzhen, "Give it to you!" It is my marriage thing!", Guo Shuzhen smiled and took it into his arms, and then searched out a jade pendant from his body, handed it to the little scholar and said: "This is the life protection jade pendant that my mother begged the monk to open the light, and I will give it to you to be a marriage thing!", the little scholar happily took it, put it on his chest and kept moving around, and showed it to Guo Shuzhen, Guo Shuzhen was very satisfied and smiled happily.
After this long toss, Guo Shuzhen was still tired and couldn't hold on anymore, the little scholar saw that her face was pale, and immediately came over to help Guo Shuzhen lie down, and after holding on for a while, he still fell asleep in a daze. The little scholar covered the quilt, and really didn't know if her illness would get better, so she stayed alone for a while, and fell asleep because she was too tired.
After sleeping all night, the little scholar was full of energy, and when he saw that Guo Shuzhen was sleeping deeply, after cleaning up, he carried her on the road. On the way, Guo Shuzhen woke up once, opened his eyes and asked, "Where am I now?".
Although she had not yet arrived in Xi'an, Tang Tong couldn't bear to make her sad, and comforted her and said, "I have arrived in Xi'an City, and I am about to see your uncle.", Guo Shuzhen was pleasantly surprised when she heard this, but she still fell asleep due to her illness and physical exhaustion. When I arrived in Xi'an City, the prefect's yamen was very easy to find, and I found the prefect's yamen in the evening, and let people report that Qin Zhixuan came out after a while, and after a glance to confirm that it was his niece, he let people carry it into the house, and did not let the little scholar enter the house, but let the master arrange for the master to live in a nearby inn, and the food and accommodation were counted as the house.
The little scholar asked for three dishes and a pot of wine, ate and drank enough, took a bath, and slept well. The next day, the little scholar came to the prefect's yamen and was blocked out. It seems that Qin Zhixuan specially ordered that it was snowing outside and the weather was very cold, so the little scholar did not dare to be in a cat, pacing back and forth nearby. In addition to going to the inn to eat at noon, he has been guarding near the prefect's yamen, and when he saw Qin Zhixuan's master when he was scattered, he stepped forward to ask, and the master waved his hand and said that he didn't know, so he had to go back helplessly.
The next day, the little scholar came again and still ate the closed door, and waited until it was dark like yesterday, and he didn't see Qin Zhixuan send someone out of the ward. On the third day, the weather was colder, and the little scholar still arrived as scheduled, staying near the prefect's yamen, at this time, the little scholar was already desperate for Qin Zhixuan, but he just wanted to know Guo Shuzhen's recent situation, there was no exact information, even if he left, he couldn't let go. In the afternoon, Qin Zhixuan finally came up, came out to see the little scholar, and said ruthlessly: "Shu'er has passed away this morning, you don't have to wait here, come from there and go back there, this is a hundred taels of silver, it is a reward for you.", said and handed him a hundred taels of silver tickets.
The little scholar didn't want to take it, and begged, "Can you let me pay tribute to Miss Guo?".
Qin Zhixuan didn't think about his wish, he wanted to stop there, and excused himself: "Shu'er is too young to prepare a sacrifice hall, and he didn't trouble relatives and friends.", as he spoke, he stuffed the silver ticket into the little scholar's hand, turned around and returned to the mansion.
The little scholar's heart is already full of devastation, Qin Zhixuantai is not a thing, his niece's life-saving benefactor, it seems that he came for his hundred taels of silver, the eyes of the world have seen too much, and he is not sad about it, but Guo Shuzhen's death completely crushed the little scholar's heart, and he escorted him thousands of miles back, spent all his savings, and used all his efforts, but in exchange for such an ending. A little girl was only ten years old and left him like this. The little scholar who lost his mind returned to the inn alone in a daze, ordered wine and food, drank half drunk, and fell asleep. The next morning, we left the inn and returned to Shanxi Xuanfu.
Tang Tong sent Qin Xinyi back to his small courtyard, and the book and the painting greeted her. The two entered Qin Xinyi's bedroom together, this was the first time Qin Xinyi brought a man to her boudoir, and the servants guessed that the old lady Qin agreed to their relationship. After the tea, the waiters and the scholars all went outside to wait in an interesting way. Tang Tong looked around the boudoir and reminded: "I remember that in the small black room of the horse shop, the dirty bedding is really different from this, I didn't expect us to be together!".
Qin Xinyi also recalled: "The small half of the red candle was stolen by you, and I remember what you said the most.".
"Is that the sentence?".
Qin Xinyi said teasingly: "Guess what!".
Tang Tong pondered for a long time, "Even if I die in battle in the future, I will also be a person with a wife!".
Qin Xinyi shook her head and said, "No! Guess again!".
Tang Tong thought about it carefully this time, and said tentatively: "I'm the first time to kiss a woman, you just bear with it!".
Qin Xinyi smiled embarrassedly when she heard this, and when she turned around, she found that Tang Tong was staring at her, and asked strangely, "Do you want to do it?".
Tang Tong smiled and said, "I want to try again!".
Qin Xinyi shook her head embarrassedly, Tang Tong stepped forward to hug her, Qin Xinyi did not resist, Tang Tong said: "I only kiss the bridge of your nose!", Qin Xinyi did not move, Tang Tong stepped forward and kissed Qin Xinyi's nose, and then went to kiss Qin Xinyi's small mouth, Qin Xinyi seemed to have expected it, and lowered her head, Tang Tong couldn't care so much, and forcibly kissed her mouth to mouth, Qin Xinyi was forced, but also willing.
After kissing for a while, Tang Tong teased interestingly, "I feel different this time, what about you?".
Qin Xinyi is a woman who has never experienced anything between men and women, and shook her head, "I forgot, I only know that you have to make inches!".
Tang Tong honestly teased, "That time I was forced to do it, and this time I took the initiative to take possession.".
Qin Xinyi objected angrily, "No! I'm not a casual person!".
Tang Tong also shook his head, "Didn't I say that when you grow up and officially marry you, I want to marry you and have no other meaning!", Qin Xinyi believed Tang Tong's words, even if it was true, it didn't matter.
Tang Tong scratched the bridge of Qin Xinyi's nose and said, "The new mansion has been completed, and we will move over tomorrow, if you still have any requirements, I will do it!".
Qin Xinyi didn't think about it, and she didn't have any demands for a while, "Let me think about it again, or I'll call Baoqin over tomorrow, her idea is more in line with my heart!".
Tang Tong smiled, pulled her to sit down, and Qin Xinyi, who didn't expect her eyes, asked affectionately: "Why don't you stay longer, I won't let you go after I get well!".
Tang Tong really wanted to shake out all the dirty things about Qin Zhixuan, but after thinking about it, now that the matter has passed, don't destroy the relationship between the two, after all, it is Qin Zhixuan who is also for Qin Xinyi's good, and replied with a smile: "I am in a hurry to go back, take the one hundred taels of silver given by your uncle, buy a fast horse and go back to Xuanfu. Only later did I hear that you were no longer there.".
Qin Xinyi was moved, "It was so hard for you at that time!".
Tang Tong was gesturing at her body, "You were only fifty pounds at that time, like hugging a chicken, and now you will definitely struggle a little hard!".
Qin Xinyi felt that she had wronged Tang Tong, so she was very sorry not to go, and said apologetically: "I blamed you wrong, don't you blame me?".
Tang Tong put his middle finger to his mouth and sighed, "No!" Besides, if you knew that I was a little scholar, you wouldn't think like this.".
Qin Xinyi smiled, today is her happiest day, and it is gratifying that the knot that has accumulated in her heart for many years has finally been resolved. Qin Xinyi was very concerned about Tang Tong's next eight years, "How did you get over these eight years?".
Tang Tong listened and was thinking about how to say it so as not to make Qin Xinyi jealous, and waited for a while and said: "I racked my brains every day to survive, but after hearing the news of your fake death, my heart was broken, I felt that there was no hope in life, and I lost my way in a daze, until I met Zhenlan and took care of me everywhere, after three years of getting along, we became relatives and began to have motivation, and then met my mentor Chen Qinqiang, so I have who I am today!".
Qin Xinyi has no interest in other aspects, but she cares about Zhenlan very much, "Let's talk about Zhenlan!".
Tang informed Qin Xinyi that she was a little jealous, and said very tactfully: "She is my friend's sister, when she sees me alone, she helps me with laundry and cooking from time to time, and never charges any compensation, three years later, his brother died on the battlefield, we will depend on each other as a family, if I know that you are still alive, I will never marry Zhenlan, I only have you in my heart!".
Qin Xinyi was considerate of Tang Tong in her heart, and didn't care about these, "Why is she gone?".
Tang Tong sighed, "In the thirty-third year of Jiaqing, the Rouran invasion of the soldiers and bandits was chaotic, I led the troops outside, she was insulted by many people and committed suicide, and when she died, her clothes were not wrapped in her skin, and she was buried in the neighborhood.".
Qin Xinyi was shocked when she heard this, and she couldn't help but feel a little chilled when she was humiliated like this. It turned out that Tang Tong had not had an easy time these years, he was struggling to survive in the war, and his wife was killed by the soldiers, which was really miserable! I shouldn't eat the vinegar of the deceased, as long as Tang Tong has himself in his heart.
At this time, Tang Tong said: "It's okay now! With your beloved, what about the suffering you have suffered!".
Qin Xinyi smiled when she heard this, "As long as you are good to me!", Tang Tong nodded and the two hugged each other again.
When it was time to separate, Qin Xinyi sent Tang Tong out of the mansion, still holding his hand. Tang Tong comforted her and said, "In just three nights, we can be together forever!" I can't bear you either, bear with me first!".
Qin Xinyi waited for so many years to finally see the little scholar, she was afraid that she would lose her heart and couldn't accept it, and she was worried that she would be even more reluctant to leave Tang Tong. Qin Xinyi begged and said, "Then I'll go see you tomorrow.".
Tang Tong said happily: "Okay! The bride is about to get married and go to her husband's house, is the grandfather allowed?".
Qin Xinyi felt a little rude when she heard this, and couldn't help but feel abrupt. Tang Tong said funny: "I'm not afraid of gossip, so how about I come to see you secretly?"...
Qin Xinyi nodded shyly. Tang Tong smiled again and said, "I don't want you to see me go!" Let me see you go back first, so I'll be more comfortable!".
Tang Tong didn't want Qin Xinyi to be sad to see her leave, and it became Tang Tong to send Qin Xinyi again, Tang Tong watched Qin Xinyi go back, and kept beckoning her to go quickly, until she disappeared from Tang Tong's sight, Tang Tong left the Qin Mansion and went home with He Wang.
