Volume 1 Meteor Swordsmanship: Great Joy and Great Sorrow (2)
As soon as he walked to the gate, he saw someone carrying a hammer cloth stone and placing it at the door, and put a saddle on the stone, and a string of copper coins on the saddle. The two girls helped the bride to step over from above, which means "forward, peace". When the bride had crossed the threshold and her hind feet had not yet landed, someone hurriedly removed the saddle so that her feet could hit the ground. This is the meaning of "a strong woman does not marry a second husband, and a good horse is not worthy of a second saddle".
When I arrived at the second gate, I saw a pot of charcoal fire in front of the door, the fire was strong, and the bride stepped over from above, so that life could be prosperous in the future. After passing through the second gate, we walked towards the main hall. Along the way, some people threw cereals, dates, peanuts, chestnuts, longan, etc., all of which had some beautiful meanings.
When a couple came to the hall, Mr. Master of Ceremonies, who had already been waiting on the side, walked out. I saw that he helped the bride to stand beside the groom, and then presided over the wedding step by step and in a dignified manner.
Under the witness of everyone, the two first knelt down to worship heaven and earth, then bowed to the high hall together, and finally bowed to each other as husband and wife. After these rituals were over, the two of them greeted Jia Shenyi's parents with tea respectively, and in the end, at the instigation of everyone, they actually drank a glass of wine. At this time, the scene was lively and the atmosphere reached its peak.
It is really a happy event when people are in good spirits, and the spring breeze is proud and forgetful.
After the wedding was carried out in an orderly manner, everyone hugged the two newlyweds into the cave room. also smiled and warned them that the Spring Festival was worth a thousand gold, and they must cherish it. After Jia Shenyi heard this, he could only smile helplessly.
When everyone saw that they were truly in love, they were also envious, and they sent them heartfelt and sincere blessings.
How do you know that there are unforeseen circumstances in the sky, and people have good and bad luck, on the night of marriage, a tragic tragedy happened to the helm of the Aoki Gang.
It is really sad for those who hear it, and tears for those who hear it.
It is said that the groom's official Jia Shenyi, as the head of a gang, has a noble status, and naturally has many relatives and friends, so after nightfall, he has been accompanying guests in the hall, drinking and chatting. Until the end of the day, he was still shaking his body and toasting to the guests.
At the table next to it, there was a lean man who seemed to be very loyal. Seeing that the helper was already drunk, he hurriedly got up and walked to Jia Shenyi's side, stretched out his hand to snatch his wine glass, and persuaded him not to drink anymore. It turned out that this person was one of the four elders of the Aoki Gang, Li Yanqing, who has always been known for his stability and wit, and was nicknamed "Lao Mouzi". At this time, he smiled and apologized to the guests present, and quipped: "I can't let the bride stay alone in the empty room tonight." ”
The crowd immediately understood what he meant, laughed and allowed him to leave the table.
Li Yanqing hurriedly called two servants over and helped him back to the new house.
Along the way, Jia Shenyi was talking to the two little guys who were supporting him with a smile on his face, and sometimes muttered some nonsense alone.
He knew that there was a lot going on today, and he had no intention of drinking more. I couldn't help everyone's wheel battle, and in the end I was drunk for eight or nine minutes, and now I am only one point sober.
When the two little servants sent him to the door and were about to open the door to help him in to rest, he stopped them and said, "Stop, you can send it here, I will do the rest myself, you go back quickly, go back quickly, go back and rest quickly." ”
He watched the two little guys leave, then staggered open the door and entered the house, then closed the door, staggered through the hall, drunkenly swinging towards the bedroom, and shouted happily: "Xuezhi, Xuezhi, I'm back, I'm back." ”
It turned out that his new wife's name was Chen Xuezhi. This Chen Xuezhi was born rich and noble, and was originally a young lady from a large family in Jiangnan. Since she was a child, she likes to dance and play with swords, so she has the heart to get acquainted with the heroic swordsmen on the rivers and lakes. Later, I inadvertently got acquainted with Jia Shenyi, admired his heroism very much, and after a long time, the two fell in love with each other, and finally achieved such a happy marriage.
Jia Shenyi saw that his wife didn't answer out loud, thinking that it was because he was tired from socializing during the day, so he rested and slept first. So he went up and opened the curtain and went in, and saw his wife falling asleep against the rail.
At this time, Chen Xuezhi was wearing a bright red dress, wearing a jade bracelet on both hands, and a mandarin duck hijab on her head. At this time, looking at the past from a distance, it looks even more beautiful and moving.
Jia Shenyi staggered to the table, sat down on the table, he faced Chen Xuezhi, slowly poured a cup of strong tea, took a sip gently, and laughed stupidly.
He looked at his wife and said with a happy face: "Xuezhi, do you know, we have gone through so many obstacles and overcome so many difficulties, and today we are finally together." In the future, I will definitely cherish you and love you for the rest of my life. The tone in the words revealed infinite sadness, and it was very touching to listen to.
He looked at his wife blankly, and suddenly felt a little surprised, thinking to himself that he had been in for so long, why did she still not move. Thinking about it, with her skills, she should have noticed that there were talents, how could she sleep so deeply. At the moment he was suspicious, and the wine sobered up for two minutes. He got up and walked slowly towards his wife, and whispered, "Xuezhi, Xuezhi." ”
Chen Xuezhi still didn't have any reaction.
At this time, Jia Shenyi's heart was also nervous, and he hurriedly stretched out his hand to wake up his wife. As soon as his hand touched his wife's shoulder, Chen Xuezhi fell backwards on the bed.
This change instantly made Jia Shenyi shocked, cold sweat stood up, his whole body trembled, and his heart beat wildly, so frightened that he woke up two points again.
He stared at his wife's body on the bed with his eyes wide open, and a sense of foreboding came out of his heart, and then gradually changed into fear.
He slowly stretched out his trembling hand and slowly tore off the red hijab. The scene that came into view at this time was something he never wanted to see in his life.
Chen Xuezhi died.
really responds to the old saying: since ancient times, how thin life is red, who will be pitied.
When he saw his wife's open eyes, her slightly open lips, and her distorted face in astonishment, his heart was filled with grief. He burst into tears, and then the tears flowed down unconsciously.
It's really a man who doesn't flick when he has tears, but he hasn't reached the sad place.
Even though he had a thousand or ten thousand in his heart, he didn't want to believe that his wife was dead. But facts are facts, tragedy has happened, it cannot be changed, and everything he sees before his eyes is also true.
Suddenly, he caught a glimpse of a thin streak of blood under his wife's neck. So he hurriedly reached out and unbuttoned a button, and opened the collar, and he could clearly see a red wound about an inch wide. The blood gushing out had darkened and coagulated, and some blood stains ran down his neck, already staining his underwear red.
