Chapter 33 Sleepless Memories of Childhood Before Marriage

One

After sorting out the dowry, my aunt said: "Let's disperse, so that Yingge can freshen up and rest, and get up early tomorrow, don't marry relatives, Yingge is still sleeping." ”

"Yingge, don't even think about sleeping all night. It's time to be married, how can you still sleep? This night, she suffered! My aunt said.

The mother stood aside, silently watching her daughter, both happy that her daughter was going to be a bride, and sad that her daughter was about to leave her. She looked at her daughter, her loving heart pounding against her chest, and she said softly to her daughter, "Wash up and go to sleep." There are people who keep time, as long as they can fall asleep, they will sleep by themselves, and if they can't sleep, they can lie down easily. Otherwise, you won't be able to relax when you go to your in-law's house tomorrow, and your body will be unbearable. Rest well tonight, and only tomorrow will be full of energy, and the body can cope with the big moves and big scenes of the in-laws. Mom said, instructing.

My aunt looked at the clothes that my niece would wear on the sedan chair one by one and said, "Is everything she wears on the sedan chair tomorrow here?" ”

"Yes, it's all here." Mom replied

"Are you all ready?" The aunt, lest there be a mistake, asked again.

"It's all there." Mom replied to my aunt.

My aunt opened the jewelry box, she looked at the jade bracelet and said, "Wear this milky jade bracelet tomorrow?" ”

"Yes!" Mom replied.

My aunt said, "Why don't you wear that blood-red jade bracelet?" ”

"The jade bracelet is the same color as the red and dark flower cheongsam worn in the sedan chair, which is inconspicuous." Mom said.

"One color is good, and the big joy must be prosperous, from the red feet to the top of the head. Red shoes, red socks, red clothes, red hijab, isn't this sedan outfit all red? Why does the jade bracelet wear a bad color? Quickly replace this milky white jade bracelet with a red jade bracelet. My aunt said in an all-red tone.

"Okay, let's change." Mom said.

The aunt turned to change the jade bracelet, but she froze. The box and cabinet were locked, and he shouted in surprise, "Ah, I can't change it." ”

"Why can't you change it?" Mom asked strangely.

"All the boxes and cabinets are locked," my aunt said. ”

"Can't the lock be opened?"

"It can't be opened, as long as it's locked, it can't be opened. The locks could not be opened until the morning after the wedding, and then the three fresh foods were taken out for the in-laws to enjoy. The three freshness are: fresh fruit, high point, tea. After that, the boxes and cabinets can be opened at any time. My aunt said.

The aunt who was standing aside listened and said, "It's really unconventional. Then follow the local customs! ”

Mom listened silently, and Yingge didn't know what to do. After a while, my mother said, "Why didn't you say anything when you chose the ornaments to wear in the sedan chair?" ”

"Alas, I have neglected this matter of chaos, I think you think the same as I do, isn't this red the most suitable color for weddings and festive days? The bride on the wedding day is not afraid of red, the more red, the better, and the red proves that the days after the wedding are prosperous. ”

Mom said: "A pair of jade bracelets are a little bad color, what kind of hue is there in life, isn't it colorful?" Nothing, just a new one. ”

"Yes, a new one. Doesn't the great occasion also say, 'Bride, bridegroom, new jubilee?' I didn't say yes: 'Matchmaker, Honglang, Hongxi!' ’”

My aunt smiled and said, "You are right, you can think as you wish, you can do whatever you want, you can think about it, you can complete it if you want it, and you can do it for a long time." I want Ying, Gefu, and Jun to live like a red sun in the future, just like a red sun. ”

"It's all about what you say, how you understand it." A pair of jade bracelets of different colors resonated with the trio. Everything was settled, and they quietly retreated.

Yingge took off the jewelry, washed up and quietly went to bed. She lay on the bed, tossing and turning on herself without sleeping. Is it what you're thinking? No. At this time, my mind was empty, blank, and my sleepiness was gone. Although she wanted to fall asleep as soon as possible, who knew that it was more difficult to fall asleep than to ascend to the sky. No matter how tightly you close your eyes and how you close them, it is difficult to fall asleep. Such a difficult fall asleep seems to be playing a trick on oneself mercilessly, and the more I want to sleep, the less sleepy I feel. What to do? At this time, falling asleep seems to have become a luxury, a deliberate trick on oneself. For the torment of not being able to sleep, he sat up angrily, held his head in his hands, and sighed: "You are really unproductive, because you have tortured yourself so much that you have no sleep, so how can you support yourself tomorrow?" Thinking about it, she clasped her hands and kept hammering her skull. This hammer blow did not stimulate the brain to rest immediately, but even more to encourage the brain to take advantage of it. "The brain deserted, and I ran away alone to play, and I had no intention of returning. Yingge has been trying to hypnotize herself to fall asleep but it has no effect, she is too anxious to do it. She no longer pounded her skull, she stopped sighing, she soothed herself, lay down leisurely, and let herself sleep completely. She thought to herself, "It's better to keep your eyes open and take stock of the past in this dark room." ”

She took stock of her childhood, she counted the time she spent with her sisters, she counted the love of her parents for her, and she counted the amazement of her appreciation. But these are far away from me, and I still have a lot of past and beauty that I haven't counted. She was in a hurry, she thought to the fullest, and she wanted to savor and take stock of all the surprises of the past to accompany her sleepless night. However, this poor need was not enjoyed by himself. Sleepless nights, painful nights, tormenting oneself unspeakably. Why is it so difficult to sleep, it is difficult to take inventory, and it is so difficult to look back on the past? Is this the torture that I should endure to be a bride? Is this the pain that I should endure to be a bride? "Well, what's wrong with not bearing it?" Thinking about it, he sat up leisurely again, and then gently paced back and forth in the room. I thought to myself, "It's so painful to not be able to sleep?" It's so painful, so uncomfortable, so tormented that it's better to pace around the house like this, which is much more comfortable and relaxing than not being able to sleep. At this time, I only heard a whisper outside the house: "Why is there a sound of footsteps, Miss Fei is up?" ”

"Is it possible that you will be able to sleep on this day? If you can't sleep, it's okay to walk around. "It's my aunt and aunt whispering. Ying Gejing listened to her aunt and aunt's whispers without answering. A rooster crow, a shout, alarmed everyone in the house.

"Miss, get up and dress up and wait for the sedan chair."

My aunt also quickly knocked on the door and said, "Yingge, Yingge, get ready." ”

"Got it!" So the servant lit the lamp, and the aunt and aunt quickly dressed her.
