Chapter 353: Yellow Springs is white-headed
"Hao Yang has mentioned to me many times about marriage before his death, but I didn't agree, just because I always felt that I was not worthy of him, and now that he is alone, I decided to marry him, be his wife, and fulfill his last wish before his death."
Although Shao Xi felt a little surprised, he didn't feel that there was anything wrong with this matter, the two of them were very affectionate, and now that Ruan Hao died in battle, the only concern in his heart should be Ye Zhiqiu, right?
If Ye Zhiqiu sends him on his last journey in the form of marrying Ruan Haoyang, in the future, he can also sweep the tomb for him as his deceased wife and put incense on him every Qingming Festival, which is indeed reasonable, so as long as Ye Zhiqiu is willing, Shao Xi does not object to this matter.
Originally, it was to handle the funeral, but now it has become a marriage, although it is not as festive as ordinary marriages, but it is also fulfilling the wishes of the deceased, so Shao Xi and Lao Wu started to do white things in the way of red things at the same time.
found the local Lisheng, the celebrant, the eldest sister and others who were in charge of the marriage, and these people rushed to the shore of Zhiqiu Lake and were startled.
used to handle marriages for other people, what was the family's background, the size of the scene, and they were all two big living people getting married, but now they saw a dead man lying on the boat, and some of them also recognized this person as Ruan Haoyang, who was doing a small business in the town, and they were all at a loss for a while.
I've never done anything like this before! When a living man marries a dead man, how should this marriage be conducted?
Shao Xi pulled a few people aside, each of them stuffed a collar of silver in his hand, and said politely: "I know that today's wedding is a little difficult, but after all, things are a little special, please put a few more thoughts." The two people who married have no relatives, and they are their friends, and it is also to fulfill the wishes of the two of them, so we have a happy funeral, and the link of receiving relatives will be exempted, so that the two can successfully worship and get married, and the number of ceremonies should be there, after all, the deceased will be buried, and it should not be too lively. Miss Ye's request for you to meet as much as possible is that if things go well, there will be heavy thanks afterwards. ”
As soon as a few people heard Shao Xi say this, they looked at the silver in their hands, even if it was difficult, they had to find a way to do it now.
However, this happy event and funeral together is the first time they have done it, before helping people to do a ghost marriage, but the ghost marriage is the tablet of the bride and the deceased, and now the deceased is still on the ship and has not been buried, so it is impossible to make a tablet in advance, but how should this living person and a dead person worship the church?
In the end, because the Zhiqiu Pavilion had been destroyed by fire, he simply changed Ruan Haoyang's body into a wedding robe and covered it with a red cloth, so that Ye Zhiqiu worshipped heaven and earth with him on the shore of Zhiqiu Lake, and then replaced the paper money with flowers.
It's just that several people sighed that Ye Zhiqiu was so young and beautiful, although he had a deep love for Ruan Haoyang, but now he can only marry someone after death, and he is a widow if he marries, and he really feels sorry.
In fact, most of the people in the town have known Ruan Haoyang more or less on weekdays, and the neighbors are also very fond of this young man.
However, everyone also knows that Ruan Haoyang and Ye Zhiqiu have a very strong relationship, and now that Ye Zhiqiu has made such a decision, everyone also understands it.
A wedding was held in this bleak atmosphere, and the awning boat where Nguyen Haoyang's body was parked was hung with wedding silk and large red flowers tied with wedding silk, and the funeral master arranged Ruan Haoyang's appearance on the boat, changed into a wedding robe and covered it with a piece of red silk.
Ye Zhiqiu also boarded the canopy boat in a happy robe, and bowed three times to Zhiqiu Lake under the auspices of the celebrant and the lisheng. The pre-arranged crowd around them threw flower petals on the boat, not only to express their blessings to the two who had married the knot, but also to express their farewell to Ruan Haoyang.
The scene of the wedding was extremely solemn, there was no laughter, most of the people remained silent, but the atmosphere of sadness was full under the festive scene.
Some of the elders of the town also came to attend this special wedding, because the two children who got married today are all too familiar to them.
Despite their grief, they sent their blessings to the two, even though they knew that this blessing was destined to be unfulfilled.
While many people expressed regret for Ye Zhiqiu, they also admired her for making such a decisive decision, and they were also moved by the loyal relationship between her and Ruan Haoyang.
Shao Xi and Lao Wu and Wu Qiu'er stood quietly aside, watching the entire wedding process proceed in an orderly manner, Shao Xi was expressionless at this time, in this situation he could not show joy, and at the same time it was not suitable to show too sadness, so he could only hide all his emotions in his heart.
Lao Wu stood aside and just sighed softly and didn't say anything.
Wu Qiu'er also seemed to be infected by the oppressive atmosphere around him, holding the big iron ball and honestly standing behind Shao Xi and Lao Wu without saying a word, although he was already a little hungry at this time, he didn't make any more noise about eating as before.
A wedding was held in such an atmosphere, and when all the passing scenes were completed, the person in charge of the burial planned to go to the boat to move Ruan Haoyang's body to the shore to collect the coffin, but was stopped by Ye Zhiqiu.
Ye Zhiqiu bowed to all the people present to show his gratitude, and then walked in front of Shao Xi, and said calmly: "Thank you Gongzi for helping the little girl handle this matter, a big fire, the little girl is now nothing, Shao Gongzi's kindness is only afraid that the little girl will never be able to repay it, and the son please accept the little girl." ”
As he spoke, Ye Zhiqiu knelt on his knees and kowtowed to Shao Xi in front of him.
Shao Xi hurriedly stretched out his hand to signal Ye Zhiqiu to get up quickly, but he was embarrassed to help Ye Zhiqiu, so he watched Ye Zhiqiu kowtow to himself three times.
After worshipping Shao Xi, Ye Zhiqiu got up and said again: "I met Hao Yang on this Zhiqiu Lake, and the two of them have lived together on the shore of this Zhiqiu Lake for four years. ”
Hearing Ye Zhiqiu's words, Shao Xi's heart was also sour, people are not plants and trees, how can they be ruthless? Ruan Haoyang and Ye Zhiqiu originally had a bumpy fate, two hard-working people met and knew each other, they just wanted to be able to spend the rest of their lives together, and they grew old together, but they didn't want to be disobeyed by the heavens, and in the end they were separated by yin and yang.
"Mrs. Sister-in-law, please mourn, since Mrs. Sister-in-law's wish is to finally be able to swim in the lake with Brother Ruan, then just go, I will wait on the shore and wait for Mrs. Ruan to come back and then collect Brother Ruan into the soil. I turned around and spent some money to rebuild this Zhiqiu Pavilion, thinking that Mrs. Ruan would have a place to live in the future, and Mrs. Ruan's future life would not have to worry, as long as there was a place, I would definitely take care of Mrs. Ruan's sister-in-law, so as to ensure that Mrs. Ruan's life was safe, and Brother Ruan would never feel at ease. ”
Ye Zhiqiu smiled sadly and said softly: "It really made Shao Gongzi worry too much about the affairs of the two of us, and Gongzi doesn't have to worry so much, the little girl has her own arrangements for the future, thank you again, and the little girl will go." ”
After that, Ye Zhiqiu returned to the boat and personally headed the swaying canopy towards the center of the lake.
Everyone on the shore couldn't help but sigh in their hearts when they looked at Ye Zhiqiu's actions, a woman with such an unfortunate fate sent a man on her last journey in this way after her beloved man left, and she was indeed a rare infatuated woman in the world.
Shao Xi watched Ye Zhiqiu swing the boat towards the center of the lake, and sighed heavily at this time, he didn't dare to act too decadent in front of Ye Zhiqiu, because Ye Zhiqiu, who had lost Ruan Haoyang, needed a strong help to support her through this most difficult moment at this time, so Shao Xi didn't dare to show sadness.
Now that Ye Zhiqiu is gone, Shao Xi has finally released the pathos in his heart.
Lao Wu looked at the canopy boat in the middle of the lake on the side, his expression was complicated, his brows were tightly locked, as if he had some worries in his heart, but he couldn't tell what he was worried about for a while, he always felt that this matter didn't seem to be over yet.
So he patted Shao Xi on the shoulder and said, "I don't know why, I have a sense of foreboding, don't you?" ”
Shao Xi didn't understand what Lao Wu was going to say for a while, he just shook his head blankly, and then turned his head to look at Ye Zhiqiu in the middle of the lake.
At this time, Ye Zhiqiu had already rocked the boat to the middle of the lake, turned around and got into the canopy, knelt beside Ruan Haoyang and reached out to touch his face, his expression was surprisingly calm, there was no trace of sadness, some were just full of reluctance and pity.
"Haoyang, you and I have known each other for more than four years, you once said that you want to spend the rest of your life with me, we will be old and white together on the shore of this Zhiqiu Lake, indulge in the landscape, and do not ask about the world. Now you have broken your promise, but I don't blame you, we all swore that we will never be separated in this life, since I can't keep you now, I can only let you go first, but you don't go too fast, you must wait for me, wait for me to come to you, and we will fulfill the vow we once made together. ”
After speaking, Ye Zhiqiu leaned over and kissed Ruan Haoyang's face gently, and finally glanced at Ruan Haoyang again, lifted the flower basket beside him and walked to the bow of the boat, grabbed the petals in the basket and threw them into the air, while sprinkling the petals, he chanted loudly in his mouth:
The vast smoke and waves bury the king's sorrows,
Skirt dancing sleeves are full of flowers.
Knowing that the world is not suffering,
Autumn comes to the Yellow Spring, a total of white heads.
"Haoyang, there are you and me in this poem, there are you and me in this Zhiqiu Lake, how can there be only you and not me on the Huangquan Road? I'm coming! ”
After speaking, Ye Zhiqiu was like a blood-red butterfly, jumping towards the surface of the lake, and threw himself into the lake with a "plop", stirring up a huge splash.
When the splash disappeared, when the ripples disappeared, only a bright red hijab floated on the surface of the water......
