Chapter 23: Memories of the Past (19)
After Mu Beiting left Lin Erren, he walked very slowly all the way, thinking hard about words in his heart, in order to make Xun Dai'er less sad.
But he had little ink in his chest, and before he could think of a good statement, his feet had unconsciously stepped into the inner courtyard.
At this time, Xun Daier was sitting on the stone bench in the garden, teaching Luo Xiangyu embroidery beside her, one of the two taught seriously, and the other watched carefully, and no one could find out about the arrival of Mu Beiting.
Mu Beiting stopped and looked at them blankly for a while, and only after a long time did he take a deep breath and call softly: "Dai'er..."
Xun Dai'er was engrossed in walking with the needle, and when she heard Mu Beiting's call, she was shocked, her hand shook, her left index finger was pierced in an instant, and a bead of blood immediately overflowed from the injury, and when she raised her head, she put her injured finger on her lips and sucked it.
Luo Xiangjiao on the side was very good at observing words and feelings, and after seeing Mu Beiting's sad face, she knew that he had something serious to tell Xun Dai'er, so she got up and said to the two: "Sister Xun taught today, I have seen almost everything, I should go back and practice." Brother Mu, come and sit with your sister for a while. After saying that, he got up and bowed, and walked quickly back to the house.
Mu Beiting watched Luo Xiangjiao leave and disappeared, then slowly moved to Xun Dai'er and sat down, reached out to hold her pierced left hand, and said softly: "I hurt it again, does it still hurt?"
Xun Dai'er was noncommittal, and asked in a low voice: "At home... Got news, huh?"
Looking at Xun Dai'er's sparkling eyes, Mu Beiting felt weak and short of breath for a while, immediately looked away, and nodded slowly: "Yes, Chu Qing just came back." ”
Xun Dai'er recognized her face and color, and she had already guessed the result in her heart, so she asked faintly: "Daddy probably doesn't recognize me as a daughter, right?"
Mu Beiting's body was shocked, he turned his head, and said in surprise: "You... How do you know?"
Xun Dai'er's beautiful eyes were closed, two lines of tears rolled down her cheeks, and she choked up: "Knowing father Mo Ruonu, my father has always been stubborn, and he loves face the most, my unfilial daughter does not obey his wishes, obeys his arrangement, and follows his least favorite martial arts knight, how can I not make him angry? As the saying goes: 'Love is deep, hatred is deep.' Daddy must have been so angry with me, I... It's hard for me to go back. ”
Mu Beiting hurriedly comforted: "No, don't think too much." In this world, how can there be parents who really resent their children, just wait for a few days when he is angry, and we will go to the door to apologize, and we will definitely get his forgiveness. ”
Xun Daier shook her head and said: "You don't know my father, my second brother was also expelled from the house by him because he did not obey his arrangement in the marriage event, and I am not allowed to go back to this day. I..."When I said this, I felt a chill in my heart, and I raised my hand to hide my face and wept.
Mu Beiting was already not good at explaining and comforting, but when he saw her crying sadly, he panicked even more, and complained more and more about himself, and suddenly raised his left palm and slapped himself hard. He didn't spare any effort when he attacked, and in an instant, five bright red fingerprints appeared on that resolute face.
Xun Dai'er hurriedly grabbed his hand and persuaded: "Don't blame yourself, I didn't tell you these things before, just because I had illusions, I thought that my father loved me deeply, and this matter might take a turn for the better, but now I am dead, as long as... As long as I can be with you, I am willing to bear these consequences. ”
Hearing this, Mu Beiting was moved, hugged Xun Dai'er into his arms, and said with emotion: "With you like this, what more can my husband ask for..."
Half a year later, Mu Beiting purchased a field and real estate on the shore of Qianhu Lake, and after everything was put in place, he chose an auspicious day, and under the main marriage of Lin Zongbian, he and Xun Daier finally tied the knot.
Mu Beiting wanted to temporarily borrow the Lin Mansion as Xun Dai'er's maiden home, and go to greet her relatives on the day of marriage, but when discussing with Xun Dai'er, she refused, she said that she only needed to marry from the side room to the main room, Mu Beiting was unwilling to disobey her wishes, so she followed her advice.
On the day of the wedding, the two did not want to be too public, and the invited guests were only a few close friends, and Xun Daier also told her mother about the happy event a few days ago.
After Mrs. Xun got the news, she was extremely happy in her heart, but after thinking about it again and again, she didn't dare to tell her husband Xun Yue about this happy event, but she carefully prepared a set of dowry for Cuiyu to congratulate on her behalf.
Cuiyu hurried all the way and finally arrived in Ningbo in the early morning of the wedding day. Xun Daier welcomed her directly into the boudoir after receiving the jade, the two had not seen each other for half a year, and they couldn't help hugging each other and crying when they met again, and it took a long time for the two of them to calm down.
Cuiyu comforted first: "Miss, don't be sad, it's a great blessing to be able to marry your beloved, this is a great joy, and Madame is also very happy for you." ”
Xun Dai'er sobbed and said: "My mother is the person who loves me the most, but now that I am married, she is not by my side, I am afraid that she will be sad and sad, and Daddy..."
Cuiyu smiled: "Oh, when I saw you, I just cried, and I almost forgot what Mrs. said." ”
Xun Dai'er hurriedly asked, "What did my mother say?"
Cuiyu gently took Xun Dai'er's hand and said: "Madame let me tell you that the lord loves you the most, just wait for you and your aunt to have a child and go back to Gusu, when the lord sees his little grandson, where can he be hard to complain about you? I'm afraid I will love you more than before!"
Xun Dai'er suddenly became overjoyed, and hurriedly asked, "Is my mother really saying that?
Cuiyu nodded and said, "This is the original words that Madame asked me to bring, word for word." And although the lord is stubborn on his face, I can see that he actually misses you very much! I have seen him go to your room alone for most of the hour. So, you just have to do it according to Madame's arrangement, and hurry up and give birth to a big fat doll. After speaking, he squeezed his eyebrows at Xun Dai'er.
Xun Dai'er smiled shyly, her cheeks were rosy, and she scolded: "As far as you are troublesome, wait for me to send a letter to my mother, and let her find someone to marry you casually, lest you come to tease me again." ”
Jade made a face and pretended to be angry: "Then I have to take revenge on me before I am kicked out of the door now." As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and tickled Xun Dai'er.
Xun Daier and Cuiyu are called master servants, but they are actually sisters, in the past, when there was no one else on the side, they often laughed and played, she has always been most afraid of Cuiyu scratching her itch, at this time seeing her "menacing", she was so frightened that she hurriedly dodged and dodged, and the two chased and frolicked in this house.
After playing around for a while, Cuiyu suddenly said "ouch" and hurriedly said: "There is one more thing that Madame has explained! ”
Xun Dai'er said strangely: "What's wrong?"
Cuiyu pulled Xun Dai'er to the table and sat down, and said, "Madame said that you are married, but she can't personally dress up your hair and makeup, so she has to ask me to do the makeup for her, and she also taught me for two days in person." ”
Xun Dai'er's eyes were red again, and she said after a while: "Cuiyu, it's good to have you." ”
Cuiyu smiled slightly, took off the hairpin on her head, scattered the hair, and then took the burden and opened it, took out the ivory comb to comb it for her, and after the hair was coiled and put on the phoenix crown, she took out the Xia curtain and put it on for her.
After everything was sorted out, Cuiyu handed the bronze mirror to Xun Dai'er's hand, and said with a smile: "Miss is naturally beautiful, and today she changed into this bridal outfit, which can be said to be the best in the group!"
Xun Dai'er looked at herself in the mirror, her beautiful cheeks reddened slightly, and she said after a while: "Thank you for your skillful hand! It's just that there are more than 10 million women in this world who are more beautiful than me, and this 'best of the best' is absolutely unspeakable." ”
Jade was about to talk, but suddenly there was a knock at the door, and she asked in a loud voice, "Who is it?"
The man outside the door replied, "Sister Dale, it's me." ”
As soon as Xun Dai'er heard that it was Luo Xiangjiao, she hurriedly asked Cuiyu to open the door. Luo Xiangjiao entered the house, and saw that Xun Dai'er had already dressed up, so she smiled and said, "Oh, I'm in a hurry this way, but I didn't expect to be late." Sister Jade's skillful hands, the bride is really beautiful today. ”
Xun Daier looked at the tray in Luo Xiangjiao's hand, on which were placed the clothes and accessories for the bride, obviously to help her dress up, her heart warmed, and she thanked her: "Sister has a heart, thank you so much." ”
Luo Xiangjiao put down the tray, stepped forward and took Xun Dai'er's hands, looked at her carefully, and said with a smile: "Whatever my sister said, we are all a family, and you and my sisters naturally have to take care of each other." ”
Xun Dai'er nodded yes again and again. Luo Xiangjiao let go of her hand, took out a satin bag from her arms, untied the tie, took out a white jade bracelet from it, and said: "The little sister got a piece of fine mutton fat white jade a few days ago, so she found a skilled craftsman to change two bracelets, and the little sister wore it herself, and this one was given to her sister as a wedding gift! This is a little bit of care from the little sister, and the sister must accept it!"
Xun Daier saw that Luo Xiangjiao was sincere, so she didn't say much, and took the bracelet after thanking her. This bracelet starts warm, waxy and flawless, it is indeed a rare product, immediately hold the bracelet with the right hand, and the left hand shrinks into the wrist, and the size is just right.
Cuiyu said enviously on the side: "Miss is so blessed, there are people who care for her everywhere, thank you Sister Xiangjiao." ”
Luo Xiangjiao smiled: "You are also my good sister, and when you get married, my sister will also have a good gift for you." ”
Xun Dai'er also said to help: "Yes, wait for me to send a letter to my mother, and let her also write for you." ”
Cuiyu's face was full of shyness, and she pretended to be displeased: "My sisters make fun of me again, I'm going out." After saying that, he wanted to open the door and go out.
But at this moment, the sound of "crackling" firecrackers suddenly sounded outside the house, followed by a noisy noise, obviously the marriage team came.
When Xun Dai'er heard this, she suddenly panicked, and hurriedly asked, "They are here, I... What should I do?"
Luo Xiangjiao comforted: "Sister, don't panic, you just sit on the gums, and my sister will handle the rest." After speaking, he called out the jade, and said: "Quickly take the 'barrier' to cover my sister." ”
Jade did so, and then helped Xun Dai'er to sit down on the edge of the bed.
Outside the house, Mu Beiting wore red flowers and was surrounded by everyone and came to the door. After Lin Zongbian made a mute gesture to everyone, the noise stopped.
Mu Beiting stood on his heels, cleared his throat, raised his hand and knocked on the door, and said loudly at the same time: "The groom Mu Beiting came to marry the bride Xun Dai'er, and the sage in the house opened the door!"
Luo Xiangjiao replied in the house: "The good time has not come, and the bride can't go out yet." ”
Mu Beiting said: "The auspicious time has come, just wait for the bride to visit the church, and ask the virtuous sister to make it convenient." ”
Luo Xiangjiao said: "It's convenient and good, I don't know what my good sister will do if she is wronged and sinful in the future?"
Mu Beiting hurriedly said: "No, no." I love her more than anything in this world, and I will only treat her wholeheartedly in the future, and I will never let her be wronged, as all friends present can testify. At the end, he glanced at Lin Zongbian next to him, and said: "Yes, my virtuous brother Lin Zongbian can be my guarantor, and if I violate my oath in the future, he will punish me." ”
Lin Zongbian glared at Mu Beiting, thinking, "You are really good at choosing people, and you will also go around me...", but there was a smile on his face, and he responded: "That... I will take this errand, and if he dares to break his word and gain weight in the future, I will spank him in public. ”
When everyone heard this, they burst into laughter, but Mu Beiting didn't care, and also smirked with "hehe", and the three girls in the house laughed even more coquettishly.
After Luo Xiangjiao heard her husband's promise, she no longer embarrassed Mu Beiting, and opened the door to welcome everyone into the house.
The distance from the wing room to the main house is only a corridor, and the sedan chair and the guard of honor are omitted. Mu Beiting carried Xun Dai'er on his back, and went to the main hall to officially worship and get married.
After the two newcomers knelt down to worship the incense, they first worshiped heaven and earth, and when they worshiped the high hall twice, only because Mu Beiting was an orphan, and the master traveled all over the world without a trace, and Xun Daier's parents were not present, the two first bowed to the Gusu position, and then bowed to the north of Mu Beiting's studies, and then the husband and wife worshipped each other, so far the ceremony was completed.
Looking at the talented and beautiful couples, everyone cheered and congratulated the two newlyweds, and the bride and groom also served wine one by one. This was followed by a feast and a celebratory scene, and the festive atmosphere did not calm down until a month later.
After marriage, Xun Daier was worried about jade all day long, eager to conceive a child, but how could she be disturbed by the mundane things in the rivers and lakes in Beiting, and go south and north all day long.
Xun Dai'er's wish was difficult, coupled with excessive sorrow, she gradually fell ill, and her body was not as good as day by day, and finally she couldn't afford to get sick.
However, this time Mu Beiting woke up, so he immediately made the decision to retire from the rivers and lakes, and then in order to inform the martial arts people in the world, he held a golden basin handwashing conference in front of the "Ten Thousand Book Tower" in the Lin Mansion.
After clearing all the relationships between the rivers and lakes, Mu Beiting sold all the fields and properties on the shore of Qian Lake, and then took Xun Daier to live in seclusion in the "Yu Yuan Valley" that had already been selected, and since then he has lived the life of a fairy couple, and Xun Dai'er, who is happy physically and mentally, quickly recuperated, and the two finally got what they wanted and gave birth to a lovely child...
