Chapter 37: Do You Want to Murder Your Husband?
After the sedan chair arrived at Xiao's house, Xi Po opened the curtain and held Zhao Paner, and someone on the other side handed the red silk for Zhao Paner to hold in his hand, and Xiao Fan took the other end of the red silk and pulled her away from the sedan chair.
When Xiao Fan and Zhao Paner walked to the lobby with red silk in hand, Xiao Qinyan and Qian sat on the main seat, Xiao Qinyan's straight face was in stark contrast to Qian's smile.
Zhao Paner was supported by Xi Po and stood in front of a red futon.
"The bride and groom, worship heaven and earthβ"
"The bride and groom, the second worship of the high hallβ"
"The bride and groom, husband and wife worship each otherβ"
"Send it to the cave roomβ"
Finally, under the congratulations of the guests, the two were surrounded and sent into the cave room.
After entering the cave room, the guests began to coax the bride to fan, and in the laughter of everyone, Zhao Paner shyly put down the fan covering the dough in her hand.
"The bride is so beautiful!"
"Xiao Guanren is so blessed!"
"Good luck, a hundred years together!"
One after another exclamations and blessings filled the entire cave room.
Xi Po guided the two to sit on the edge of the marriage bed, and then a group of maids went up to the marriage bed to sprinkle copper coins, peanuts, longan, red dates, and lotus seeds, and chanted while sprinkling.
"Good luck, a hundred years together."
"Spread the tent east, the curtain is deep and the candle shadow is red. The good atmosphere is lush and long, and the painting hall is a spring breeze every day. β
"Sprinkle the west of the tent, and the brocade tassels hang down at the four corners. When you open it, you will see Chang'e's face, but you will lose but Xianlang will catch the branches. β
"Scattering the tent south, it is so affectionate and happy. The cool moon is good, the courtyard is cool, and the double embroidered belt is suitable for men. β
"Spread the tent north, and relish a little between the eyebrows. The hibiscus tent warms the spring night, and Yue'e invites the guests of the Toad Palace. β
"On the tent, the mandarin ducks were handed over into two. From now on, I have a good dream of Ye Weixiong, and I will see Lizhu in the palm of my hand. β
"In the tent, a pair of jade hibiscus in the moon. It's like meeting a goddess tonight, and the red clouds are surrounded by Wu Feng. β
"Under the tent, see the Golden Illumination Society. Tonight's auspicious dreams will follow, and the price of a man will be set in the coming year. β
"Before the tent is cast, the heaviness is neither fog nor smoke. Xiangli gold and gold are faintly reflected, and Wen Xiao gold meets Cai Yingxian. β
"After the tent, the husband and wife were in harmony and kept it. Never sing with husband and wife, don't be a lion roaring in Hedong"
After the maid finished sprinkling the dried fruit, Xi Po stepped forward and used scissors to cut off a strand of hair on each of their heads.
Then he tied the hair of the two with a red rope, and said as he tied it: "Thousands of generations, forever together!" β
Finally, Xi Po put the tied hair into a sandalwood box and handed it to Xiao Fan.
Xiao Fan turned into a wooden box, turned around and stuffed it into the wedding bed, and the joy was pressed underneath.
Then Xi Po brought out two cups of wine and tied them together with red rope and said, "It is always good to put the cups together." β
After the two drank a glass of wine, Xiao Fan instructed the maid to go down to receive the reward.
Just as he was about to admire his bride, Ning Liheng ran over and grabbed him.
"Okay, okay, okay, hurry up, hurry up, it's done here, hurry up and go out to toast, I have to get you drunk today."
"Yes, yes, big brother, today is your great joy, we have to accompany you."
"That's it, that's it!"
Xiao Fan didn't have time to look back, and the bride was hugged by everyone and pulled out of the room.
As soon as he was pulled to the banquet by several brothers, Xiao Fan saw the Qian family constantly greeting the ladies with joy.
Xiao Qinyan, on the other hand, sat still with a straight face, waiting for someone to come up to toast before taking a sip of the wine glass.
However, the people who came to toast didn't care, after all, most of them were small people, like Xiao Xianggong, normally they would never see each other in their lives, let alone drink together.
As the groom, Xiao Fan is very happy today, when he toasts, the wine is dry, and those who come do not refuse.
After a lap, Xiao Fan looked drunk and confused, and he had to be helped when he walked.
After the toast, Xiao Fan happened to see Xiao Qinyan leave the table, and followed straight up, and as soon as he came out, he found Xiao Qinyan waiting for him in the Lang Pavilion.
"What? Father doesn't seem to be very happy today? I think my mother is quite happy! Xiao Fan stepped forward and teased.
Xiao Qinyan looked at the red-faced son in front of him: "You don't pretend to be confused with me, you know that I don't agree to this marriage." And that Zhao Paner knew that she had a blood feud with you and still married you, what she wanted was not small! β
"You don't have to worry about this, you and I know better than anyone else what's going on. Do you want people to know what kind of good father you are? β
"Shut up!" Xiao Qinyan was anxious and asked, "You didn't tell your mother the reason for the attack, did you?" β
Xiao Fan knew what he was thinking, and he was afraid that the Qian family would turn against him because of Xiao Fan. At that time, not only will the Qian family not be able to help him, but will even turn around and stab him in the back.
"You see how happy my mother is, why should I spoil her happiness? Father, you said yes, right? β
Seeing that Xiao Qinyan was silent, Xiao Fan continued: "In the future, as long as you don't target Pan'er again, I will treat everything as if nothing happened." And I will study hard, participate in the imperial examination, and glorify the lintel of Xiao's house in the future. β
"It's a good thing that you want to take the imperial examination, but if you marry a lowly woman, not only can it not help you, but it will also affect your career reputation."
"What? Then the reputation of the son of a traitor who smirks power is good? And please remember clearly, Pan'er is a citizen. β
"You...... You...... Hello do it yourself! Hum! β
Xiao Fan didn't care about Xiao Qinyan, who was so angry that he threw his sleeves away, turned his head and walked straight to the backyard.
In the cave room on the other side, Zhao Paner's eyes kept glancing back and forth, and after confirming that the maid on the side didn't notice this, she quickly stuffed a red date that she had secretly picked up before into her mouth.
Zhao Paner really didn't expect to be so hungry, because she has always boasted that she was well-prepared, but she was still not fully prepared.
After getting up early this morning to worship my parents, I just had to eat a few bites in a hurry, and then I began to dress up and put on makeup.
Until now, I drank a few sips of gall wine and ate some fruit prepared by Sanniang when I was putting on makeup halfway.
In order not to let people gossip, Zhao Paner didn't ask someone to bring food over. You can only touch a dried fruit and throw it in your mouth from time to time, but it can only be said that it is better than nothing.
Just as Zhao Paner touched another red date, Xiao Fan, who was full of wine and flushed, and couldn't walk steadily, stumbled in.
Seeing this, Zhao Paner hurriedly put down the red dates, sat on the edge of the bed, and covered the fan in front of him with both hands.
"Official!" Seeing that it was Xiao Fan who came in, the maids in the room greeted in unison.
"Hiccup!" After a wine hiccup, Xiao Fan waved his hand: "Let's go down!" β
After the maids all went out, Xiao Fan came to the bedside with a smile and grabbed Zhao Paner's hand holding the fan: "Lady, come and let the husband take a good look!" β
Removing the fan covering his face, Xiao Fan looked at Zhao Paner, who was dressed as a bride, stupidly: "It's so good-looking!" β
Zhao Pan'er smelled Xiao Fan's body and saw that he was drunk, so he had to get up and help him: "Official, I'll give you wide clothes." β
After helping Xiao Fan take off his clothes and shoes, Zhao Paner was about to say something, when he saw him sitting on the edge of the bed with his eyes closed and asleep.
Put Xiao Fan down and lie down, thinking that he had been hungry for a day, but this guy in the cave room was unconscious.
Zhao Pan'er looked at Xiao Fan's drunken face, the more she thought about it, the more angry she became, and when she didn't react when she pulled him a few times, she was so angry that she waved her fist and was ready to hammer him.
It's just that as soon as the hand was raised and the hammer was hammered down, the wrist was grabbed by the big hand all the time, and then Zhao Pan'er saw Xiao Fan looking at her with a playful face, and there was still a trace of drunkenness in her eyes.
"What? Do you want to murder your husband? β
