Chapter 177: The Day of Joy and Mourning
On the tenth day of the first month of February, Liu Xunyi and Pan Yuyin "married" in Pan's mansion, and Pan Chuba invited many local gentry and celebrities to Yingchuan, and even He Shan, He An and other people in the official mansion came to congratulate him.
He Shan still didn't know that the Qingchuan landscape map was dropped, so now he is still trying to tie up the Xian Wangfu in his heart.
Everything follows the real wedding ceremony, Liu Xunyi and Pan Yuyin bowed to the sky and the earth in front of many guests, and tied the knot.
On this day, from morning to night, the gongs and drums inside and outside the Pan Mansion were noisy, the traffic was busy, the crowds were crowded, and it was very lively.
The guests in the house are all full of spring breeze and smiling. In the face of relatives and friends present, full of winning friends, Pan Chuba raised his eyebrows and worked hard, raising his wine for fun, but he was drunk and happy.
Liu Xunyi and Pan Yuyin in front of everyone, the performance of Luanfeng and Ming, pearls and pearls, a good match made in heaven for a pair of talented women. The two held each other's hands, lingering among the guests, the piano and the pineapple leaned together, which was really envious of others.
It wasn't until the golden wuxi fell, the jade rabbit rose eastward, and the noisy Pan Mansion gradually calmed down.
Liu Xunyi and Pan Yuyin sent away the last group of guests in the cave room, the two of them were tired and exhausted, where did they still have the heart to drink a glass of wine?
"Brother Liu, I've worked hard for you today!" Pan Yuyin at this moment, she didn't seem to dare to look directly at Liu Xunyi, she was dressed in red and looked extremely charming and moving today, "I thank you for the Pan family......"
"What did Miss Pan say? What does it matter if I am a big man? But you are a girl's family, and it is really ...... to marry me in front of so many people in such an unexplained way" Liu Xunyi couldn't find a suitable explanation for a while, and he was afraid that he would lose his words and accidentally poke Pan Yuyin's pain, so he could only stop talking, and smiled lightly in embarrassment.
"I didn't expect that my first time as a bride would be such an occasion. Pan Yuyin's words were quite bitter and helpless, but soon she changed her words and said, "Today, grandpa deliberately made such a big noise, presumably the news of your and my marriage at this time has spread thousands of miles away and reached the ears of the Qin clan in Hexi." ”
"There must be the eyes and ears of the Qin family in Yingchuan City, and the purpose of Pan Baye should have been achieved. Liu Xunyi nodded undeniably and said, "Miss Pan is proud of her family, and she does not hesitate to sacrifice her innocent reputation, she is really a heroine among women, and she admires it! Now that the guests have left, and it is not too early, I will go back first." ”
After that, Liu Xunyi was about to get up and say goodbye, but Pan Yuyin suddenly opened her mouth to stop her: "Brother Liu, slow ......down" When she saw Liu Xunyi's puzzled gaze, her cheeks couldn't help but blush, and she explained timidly, "Just now Brother Liu said that there must be the eyes and ears of the Qin clan in Hexi in Yingchuan City, so who can guarantee it...... There is no Qin family's eyeliner in the Pan Mansion?"
"What do you mean?"
"There are many people in the house, and if Brother Liu leaves now, it will definitely attract a lot of criticism. Pan Yuyin said in a hesitant voice, "Under common sense, how can anyone spend a candle night in the cave room and leave the bride alone?"
At this moment, Pan Yuyin's voice was as thin as a mosquito, almost inaudible, but she was worried that Liu Xunyi would misunderstand her, so she hurriedly explained: "Brother Liu, don't get me wrong, I mean...... You and I should be the flower candles in the cave room at the moment, Yan'er is newly married, and now I don't know how many good things are hidden in the courtyard, waiting...... Wait to see the 'lively'. If Brother Liu leaves suddenly, won't it arouse suspicion?"
Hearing this, Liu Xunyi was stunned for a moment, and hesitated: "Miss Pan is reasonable, but I was negligent." With that, Liu Xunyi turned around and walked to the table and sat down, and said with a smile to himself, "Then I will sit here all night, and Miss Pan can just rest." ”
"Lonely men and widows are in the same room, Brother Liu is sitting here, how can the little woman rest alone?" Pan Yuyin said lightly, then got up and sat opposite Liu Xunyi, and poured a glass of wine for herself.
Two red candles burn slowly on the table, reflecting a man and a woman sitting opposite each other.
For a while, the room was silent, so embarrassing.
"Ahem......" Liu Xunyi's eyes looked left and right quite unnaturally, he wanted to say some gossip to relieve the embarrassment, but he coughed for a long time, but he didn't even think of a word.
"The clouds want to dress and the flowers want to look, and the spring breeze blows Revlon ......" Suddenly, Pan Yuyin chanted slowly. Liu Xunyi was stunned for a moment, and then subconsciously blurted out: "If it weren't for the Jade Mountain, I would meet Yaotai Yue." ”
Pan Yuyin didn't seem to expect Liu Xunyi to take over the poems, so she looked at him in surprise and said in surprise: "Brother Liu has also read poems?"
Hearing this, Liu Xunyi couldn't help but smile bitterly. Once he practiced penance in Tianji Pavilion for more than ten years, in addition to practicing martial arts diligently every day, the rest was reading. As everyone knows, when he became a captain of the Golden Sword, he already had talents in literature and martial arts. Although Liu Xunyi's literary talent is far inferior to martial arts, he can also be compared to ordinary people.
"When I was a child, I used to read for a few days. Liu Xunyi said perfunctorily, "Su asked Miss Pan about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, all of which were fine, and she only got an axe at the time, which made the girl smile." ”
"That's very good. Pan Yuyin ignored Liu Xunyi's self-humility, and said excitedly, "How about we do poetry tonight......? We in the province sit by the candle and live like a year. ”
Without waiting for Liu Xunyi to agree, Pan Yuyin had already spoken: "Brother Liu has ever heard that 'the green mountains are hidden in the water, and the grass in the south of the Yangtze River has not withered in autumn.'" ’”
Liu Xunyi hesitated for a moment, nodded slowly, and said: "On the moonlit night of the twenty-fourth bridge, where can the jade teach." ”
"Exactly!" Pan Yuyin's eyes suddenly flashed with a glint of expectation, and he asked, "Brother Pan has ever been to Yangzhou?" Is this 'Twenty-Four Bridges Bright Moon Night' twenty-four bridges, or is there only one bridge, called the 'Twenty-Four' Bridge?"
"This ......" Liu Xunyi thought for a moment and said with a wry smile, "There is more than one bridge in Yangzhou, but are there twenty-four...... I don't know. ”
Hearing this, Pan Yuyin couldn't help but show disappointment, and said regretfully: "I have always wanted to see the 'Twenty-four Bridge Bright Moon Night' with my own eyes, but unfortunately I didn't have the opportunity to go to Yangzhou in my life......" After that, Pan Yuyin changed her words and asked again, "Brother Liu, what poems do you like to read on weekdays?"
After thinking about it for a while, Liu Xunyi muttered: "Drunk and looking at the sword, dreaming of blowing the horn company camp, eight hundred miles under the command, fifty strings turning over the outside sound, and the autumn soldiers on the battlefield ......"
"But the king of the world, won the famous ...... before and after his death," Pan Yuyin read faintly, "Brother Liu's favorite words are so tragic." ”
Liu Xunyi muttered thoughtfully: "The country is broken and the family is ruined, the eldest husband was born between heaven and earth, how can he not sacrifice his dignified body, kill the enemy to serve the country, and restore my rivers and ......mountains."
"Angry hair rushes to the crown, leaning on the railing, Xiaoxiao rain rest. Looking up, full of fierce ......"
A song "Man Jianghong", countless heroic dreams.
This night, Liu Xunyi and Pan Yuyin drank and wrote poems like this, until "'The desk pillow arm is a new house', and I don't know how white the East is." ”
......
On the same night, in the ancestral hall of the Pan family, Pan Chuba knelt down Ding Cui and Pan Chun in front of Pan Wu's spiritual seat. The hearty cups of liquor during the day have now turned into drops of heartbroken blood and tears, pouring down.
Pan Wen, the eldest lady, Pan Feng, and He Hu stood aside, looking gloomily at Ding Cui's mother and son. In the huge ancestral hall, only a finger-thick white wax was burned, reflecting Pan Wu's spiritual position looming, and a dim atmosphere was slightly weird, and the people who were pressed were almost out of breath.
"Daddy!"
Pan Chun knelt in front of the spiritual throne and cried bitterly, his voice was hoarse, and his liver and intestines were broken, which made Pan Wen and the others cry.
"You ...... What do you want to do?" Ding Cui stared at Pan Chuba with panicked eyes, and threatened viciously, "Brother Tiger will not let your ...... go"
"Li Laohu is now a mud bodhisattva crossing the river, and it is difficult to protect himself. How could he come to save you?" He Hu said in a deep voice, "You poisonous woman, you dare to murder your own husband, it is really an unforgivable sin! I will kill you in front of Pan Wuling tonight to comfort his soul in the sky!"
"You woman's heart is like a snake and scorpion, my second brother treats you well, how can you treat him like this?" Pan Feng cried and scolded.
"What is Pan Wu?" Ding Cui screamed with a hideous face, "I have never liked him, there is only one man in my heart from beginning to end, and that is Li Laohu......"
"Smack!"
Before Ding Cui's words fell, Pan Yun, who was furious, suddenly rushed forward and slapped her fiercely, and Ding Cui's cheeks were red and swollen, and the corners of her mouth were bleeding. But she suddenly burst out laughing like a madman, and the laughter was like a ghost crying wolf, which made people's hearts palpitate.
"Since you have a relationship with Li Laohu, why did you marry Pan Wu in the first place?" Pan Wen asked, "Do you know that Pan Wu is infatuated with you? For you, he even gave up the dignity of a man, in fact, he has long known that Pan Chun is not a parent, but he still pretends to know nothing, do you know why? Is it not because he can't let go of you in his heart?"
"You are talking nonsense!" Ding Cui refuted fiercely, "Pan Wu either beat or scolded me, is this also called not being able to let me go?"
"That's because he knows that you and Li Laohu have an old relationship, but they can't save your heart, so they ......" The eldest lady couldn't help but let out a long sigh, and couldn't say any more.
He Hu said: "Now that Pan Wu is dead, it's useless for us to say anything, only by killing this poisonous woman can Pan Wu under Jiuquan rest in peace!"
"No!" Pan Chun was shocked, suddenly protected Ding Cui under him, looked at Pan Chuba who was crying silently, and begged bitterly: "Grandpa! I have no father, please don't kill my mother again...... Grandson, please, grandson, please......" Before the words fell, Pan Chun had already begun to kowtow to Pan Chuba one after another.
Every time Pan Chun's head sounded, like a hammer, it slammed into Pan Chuba's heart, making him more and more heartbroken.
Although Pan Chun is not his own grandson, after all, he has lived under the same roof for more than 20 years, how can he have no feelings? But Pan Wu's tragic death is a hidden pain in Pan Chuba's heart that he can't let go of for a long time, if he can't avenge his son, what kind of face will he have to see Pan Wu after his death?
"Chun'er......" Pan Chuba said tremblingly, "this matter has nothing to do with you...... Get out of the way!"
"No!" Pan Chun stubbornly protected Ding Cui, who kept screaming and scolding, and shook his head resolutely and said, "If grandpa wants to kill my mother, then kill me first!"
"Your mother murdered her husband and died innocently, why should you save her?" Pan Feng said angrily, "By the way, you are Li Laohu's evil seed." Now that you have recognized Li Laohu as your father, you are no longer qualified to call 'grandpa'. ”
"Auntie, I ......"
"Hugh is going to call me aunt!
"Grandpa......" Pan Chun turned his eyes for help to Pan Chuba again, and cried bitterly, "On the first day of the first month of March, I am willing to fight against the Hexi Qin clan for the Pan family, and I am willing to complete my father's unfinished ......."
"He Hu, do it!"
Without waiting for Pan Chun to finish speaking, Pan Chuba suddenly gave a ruthless order.
He Hu's eyes widened, and he rushed to Ding Cui who was wailing with a sharp knife, and before Pan Chun struggled to twist his body and stepped forward to stop him, He Hu had mercilessly poked out the sharp knife, and with a "poof" sound, it pierced Ding Cui's heart.
Ding Cui's pig-like scream stopped abruptly, and in his frightened and frightened eyes, the remaining wisps of vitality quickly dissipated. The body that was tied up by the five flowers trembled and twisted a few times, and then the body straightened up, and there was no movement anymore.
"Mother, mother!"
Pan Wu frantically threw down Ding Cui's side, because his hands were tied behind his back, he couldn't fight, he could only use his head to keep pushing Ding Cui's corpse, and let out a mournful roar like a trapped beast in his throat.
"I'm going to kill you! I'm going to kill you!" Pan Chun turned his head suddenly, a pair of rat eyes glaring viciously at everyone in the ancestral hall, furious and murderous.
"I'm afraid you don't have that chance!"
"He Hu, don't ......"
"Poof!"
Without waiting for Pan Chuba to stop in a hurry, He Hu, who had just killed Ding Cui, turned the sharp knife sharply, and the sharp blade instantly cut Pan Chun's throat. Immediately, the blood flowed like an infusion, splashing and scattering, spilling all over the ancestral hall.
Pan Chun, who died instantly, glared at He Hu with unwilling eyes, and finally fell straight to the ground.
"What are you killing?" Pan Chuba angrily reprimanded, "His mother kills to pay for his life, and it is not a pity to die, but he is not guilty of death......"
"Let the tiger go back to the mountain, there will be endless troubles!" He Hu said in a deep voice, "Dad, didn't you hear his words just now? If we leave him behind, we people will die at his hands sooner or later." What's more, he is Li Laohu's evil seed, if he doesn't cut the grass and eradicate the roots, he will ...... day by day."
"Anyway, Chun'er was raised by me since I was a child. You shouldn't have killed him...... It shouldn't be!"
Pan Chu is eight years old, and it is inevitable to think of the old love, plus he has been away from the rivers and lakes for decades, and he has long forgotten the cruel law of "letting the tiger return to the mountain, and the future will be endless".
But whether it is right or wrong, it has become a fact at this moment, and no one can change it. What's more, the big war is imminent, and Pan Chuba still has to rely on He Hu, and he must not turn his face against him.
Pan Chuba, who was full of tears, stared at Pan Chun, who had been his 'good grandson' for more than 20 years, as if he was ten years old all of a sudden. The spirit is becoming more and more sluggish, and in every gesture, there is already a little old state of the dragon clock, and the twilight and sadness of dying.
"...... him Thick burial bar......"
