Chapter Ninety-Three: The Wedding Feast
Lingshui County is full of lights, and people come and go.
Today is the day of Xiao Jiu's wedding, which is the first happy event in the entire Lingshui County this year.
In addition to the old men who had been following Xiao Jiu, the backbone of the proletarian guilds in Shili and Eight Townships and the militia captains were all present.
They may not have any expensive gifts, but the gifts they prepare are all carefully selected and delivered.
Xiao Jiu naturally doesn't care about the amount of these gifts, now that the land of the entire Lingshui County is classified as public, it can be said that everything is allocated by the county government.
Zhang Ben and Jin Zi, the two generals of Xiao Ziying, became the doormen of the wedding banquet at this time, standing at the gate of the county government to greet the visiting guests.
Lao Ma took a group of officials from the county government to set up a banquet in the back hall or kitchen.
The entire county government came and went, but Xiao Jiu met his eldest brother Li Yi with a serious face in the back hall.
Since the team arrived in Lingshui County, Li Luoyao was taken to the arranged wedding room, but Li Yi, who came to see off the relatives, offered to talk to Xiao Jiu alone.
"I've heard my little sister talk about you a long time ago."
"Lingshui County, Hare Mountain, bandit leader Xiao Jiu."
"When I first heard my little sister talk about you, I wanted to send someone to kill you."
Listening to Li Yi's unkind tone, Xiao Jiu was a little angry but couldn't refute it, just quietly waiting for the other party's next words.
I heard Li Yi continue: "But I also know that my little sister really likes you, and I have never seen her so obsessed with a man." ”
Listening to Li Yi's slow words, Xiao Jiu licked his lips.
"I am also sincere to Luo Yao, and I am not a prodigal son who has been abandoned from the beginning."
As soon as the words fell, Li Yi shook his head lightly and sneered.
"It doesn't matter if you're sincere or fake."
"But you have to remember that Luo Yao is my sister Li Yi, if you lose her, no matter who obstructs me, I will kill you."
Listening to Li Yi's sharp words, Xiao Jiu's color changed slightly, and just as he wanted to refute, he heard Li Yi's voice coming into his ears.
"Of course, since you are my brother-in-law, if anyone wants to beat your idea, I will do my best to help you."
When Xiao Jiu heard this, he let go of his dissatisfaction with Li Yi in his heart and began to re-examine the middle-aged man in front of him.
This Li Yi spoke nakedly without any disguise, but there was no doubt about his love for Li Luoyao.
has such a strong uncle, and I don't know what my married life will be like.
The meaning of Li Yi's words is also obvious, as the eldest son of Dazai Li Li and the concubine of Daxia, there is no doubt about the dignity of his identity.
Xiao Jiu had a bad relationship with Lu Yaoliang in Qingzhou before, and now he and Li Li have formed a family of children, and the other party will inevitably take care of this relationship and will not easily use swords against him.
Thinking of this, Xiao Jiu smiled with relief and began to pat his chest with his cheap uncle to reassure.
Li Yi said the words of threat and seduction, and the purpose was achieved, and the rest was naturally to have a good relationship with his brother-in-law.
Li Yi is not his father Li Li, he is relatively open-minded when he is young, he doesn't mind Xiao Jiu's identity very much, and thinks more about his sister's future happiness.
Since he was a child, he has always been very fond of Li Luoyao and knows what kind of character his sister is.
Every time I can't persuade my sister, I will support her silently behind my back, and even some nonsense and absurd things will clean up the mess for her.
Now that I have seen my eldest sister marry a wife since I was a child, I will be a little reluctant in my heart, but he is not Li Luoyao, and he can't decide her future.
Just like Li Yi's current identity, although he is a concubine, his life is not happy.
His marriage is the product of political union, and since Qin Yu's young sister got married, Li Yi can only reluctantly divorce his wife.
The two have nothing to do with right or wrong, they just interpret the script that has been written up for a long time.
Now his sister can marry the person she likes and stay with each other, which can be regarded as fulfilling his long-cherished wish from another angle.
The wedding banquet lasted until late at night, and Xiao Jiu, Li Yi and all the guests who visited were very drunk.
Characters like Jin Zi and Zhang Ben, who were already considered to have heads and faces, also began to get carried away and joke about Xiao Jiu.
Looking back, Li Luoyao, who has always been very active, did not appear at the dinner, she was sitting on the bed in the wedding room with her head on her head and waiting quietly, the silk handkerchief in her hand was almost crumpled and did not leave the bed for half a step.
Until late at night, when the sound of stumbling footsteps came from outside the room, Li Luoyao's cheeks under the red cloth instantly turned a seductive red.
The agility of daily life is gone, replaced by the shyness of being about to marry a wife.
Li Hao carried the drunk Xiao Jiu into the house, and after informing Li Luoyao, he got up and left.
After a while, Li Luoyao saw that there was no movement around him, and couldn't help but take off the red cloth on his head and saw Xiao Jiu lying on the bed.
Listening to Xiao Jiu's slight breathing, Li Luoyao felt a little angry in her heart.
She had been waiting for a night, but now Xiao Jiu was like a dead pig, how could she not be angry.
I just wanted to reach out and pinch the culprit who made me angry, but I heard Xiao Jiu muttering intermittently in his sleep.
"I love, I will be good to Luo Yao......"
Li Luoyao heard Xiao Jiu's incoherent whispers clearly, and suddenly the tears that slowly fell for no reason, opened her arms and hugged each other tightly.
The person in front of him is his husband, and he is the man who will accompany him for the rest of his life in the future.
He loved himself so much that all the waiting and anticipation before him was worth it.
……
At three o'clock in the morning, Xiao Jiu woke up from a hangover, his mind was still a little groggy.
Slowly leaning out of the quilt, I found myself naked, and there was a breathing fragrance lingering around my body.
Just as Xiao Jiu was trying to remember what happened last night, the door was slowly pushed open.
"Husband, you're awake."
Looking at the girl with a little shyness in front of her, Xiao Jiu was stunned on the bed for a long time before showing a smile.
Li Luoyao's husband made Xiao Jiu's head a little dazed, and after reacting, he realized that the lovely man in front of him was his wife in the future.
The two were relatively silent, and in the end, it was Xiao Jiu who broke the peace.
"Luo, Luo Yao, where are my clothes?"
Xiao Jiu was embarrassed to look directly into Li Luoyao's eyes, lowered his head and asked in a low voice.
Li Luoyao, who brought breakfast, smiled at this time and made fun of Xiao Jiu.
"My husband drank a lot of wine yesterday, and all the clothes on his body were full."
Listening to Li Luoyao's ridicule, Xiao Jiu was powerless to refute, he was indeed full of ugliness last night, and he could only plead with Li Luoyao again and again at this time.
"Luo Yao, bring my clothes."
Who knew that Li Luoyao didn't answer, and after putting breakfast on the table, he sat directly on the chair next to him and looked at Xiao Jiu who was shirtless.
"The clothes are washed, you can wait for it to dry before putting it on."
