Chapter 136: The Sky Makes People
With the noise of gongs and drums and the lights of the lanterns, almost all the major restaurants are chartered today, just to celebrate the marriage of a couple.
Zhuo Zhuang Gong Li Shangmi's family is rich, and he holds a marriage for Zhang Caizi, the son-in-law of Chenglong, and Li Jiaren, the pearl of the palm, and the people of the whole village can go to all the private restaurants to eat and drink for nothing, and participate in the marriage.
All the people in Zhuangzi also sincerely wish this pair of newlyweds who are a match made in heaven for a hundred years.
The touching love story of the two is well-known throughout Zhuangzi and is envied by everyone.
Zhang Caizi carried eight large sedan chairs back to his small house the day before, preparing to marry his beloved woman today, and the young man got up early today, or he had no sleep all day.
Li Shangmi told his wife Cui Xin about Li Jiaren's illness last night, feeling that she was qualified to know about this matter as a mother.
After Cui Xin learned the bad news, she also fainted on the spot, and the woman kept crying and crying after waking up, and her voice was hoarse, and then the two couples went to Li Jiaren's house, and the two only stood in the distance and watched the house with the lights on, and did not plan to enter the house to disturb their daughter.
The old man and wife hid their faces with tears in their eyes, and stood here for a full hour...... When my daughter grows up, it's time to get married.
Xianzhou Taishou Yin Ming treats Li Jiaren like her own daughter, this old lady has lived in Li Mansion these days, and she has forgotten everything.
Even though Zhou Shengshui, the protector of the village, has magical powers, he can't save the dying person, and Li Jiaren's pulse is so weak that it almost stops beating...... After thinking of the previous design of King Xiang'an to harm the beauty, the old man was sure that as long as Zhao Chang came to Zhuangzi to make trouble again, he would definitely kill him.
Hua Wenxiang, Luo Bei, Ruluo helped Zhang Caizi to carry the sedan chair, Tu Yuelian and Hei Qiu'er stayed in the Li Mansion, and followed Juan'er to accompany Li Jiaren.
The young and beautiful bride sat in front of the dresser, gently brushed the rouge paper with her lips in front of the bronze mirror, and wandered for a long time, and then the two maids on the side put on new clothes for her.
The woman has a phoenix crown and a beautiful curtain, red lips and bright teeth, and a bright red dress lined with that stunning face, which is really like a person in a painting, beautiful and moving.
Tu Yuelian and other women were fascinated, this should be the most beautiful moment in a woman's life.
"Cracklingβ"
There was a sudden explosion of firecrackers outside the door of Li's house, and after the sound of firecrackers, someone shouted: "Bride, please get on the sedan chair!"
Juan'er covered the red hijab for her own young lady, and then helped her all the way to the sedan chair, Tu Yuelian carried the black ball, and followed behind her with several maids.
Li Shangmi, Yin Ming and others also got on the big sedan chair.
Hua Wenxiang and a servant carried the first sedan chair, at this time looking at Li Jiaren who was covered with a hijab, they couldn't help but smile for three days, this is the first time they participated in the marriage, and it is also the first time to carry the sedan chair, this lively feeling is really good.
It's just that their group doesn't know how bad Li Jiaren's condition is.
"Get up!"
As soon as the gong struck, the honest and honest steward of the Li family shouted at the top of his voice.
Zhang Caizi's house is not too far from the Li Mansion, and he has come here in less than half an hour.
Eight large sedan chairs fell to the ground, Juan'er lifted the red curtain of the sedan chair, helped her own young lady out, and said with a smile: "Miss, it's here." β
Li Jiaren, who was covered with a hijab, entered Zhang Caizi's small house with the support of Juan'er, and in the wedding room covered with Xi characters, Li Jiaren, who couldn't see her face clearly, sat alone on the bed, occasionally coughing twice.
It was her happiest day in more than two decades.
The whole Zhongzhuo Village is full of Manchu and Han people, and the people of the whole village are elated and send blessings to the two newcomers.
Hua Wenxiang and his entourage sat at a table with Juan'er, eating and drinking, and unconsciously talked about the story of Zhang Caizi and Li Jiaren.
Li Shangmi's table is estimated to be the most unpleasant table in the entire Zhuangzi, and it is a good thing for a beautiful woman to marry a talented man, but they can't be happy after all.
Zhang Caizi rarely drinks today, and sat at Li Shangmi's table for a long time, and the young scholar said a lot of things, saying that he Zhang Caizi met Li Jiaren in this life because of the blessing he had cultivated in several lifetimes, and his parents died early, thanks to the elders for taking care of them for so many years......
Cui Xin at the table couldn't hate Zhang Caizi at this time, she seemed to wake up, and felt that as long as her daughter liked it, it would be fine......
Later, Zhang Caizi came to Hua Wenxiang's table to toast, but only Luo Bei and Ruluo drank at the table, and they accompanied Zhang Caizi to drink vigorously.
Luo Bei has some regrets, if Lao Huang can also drink here, how good.
The young scholar drank happily today, his brain was already confused, he thanked Hua Wenxiang and his party for exorcising evil spirits for the beautiful woman before, thanked them for being the friends of the beautiful woman, and said that he must find him when it is useful in the future......
Before you know it, the sky has already darkened, and the young scholar has drunk many times more wine today than in the past combined, and he doesn't know how many times he vomited just by throwing up.
Under a wall not far away, Zhang Caizi kept vomiting the wine in his stomach, Hua Wenxiang and his party accompanied him, and Juan'er kept handing water to Zhang Caizi's back.
Li Shangmi, who was not far away, seemed to have aged a lot in the past few days, and his expression had dimmed a lot, he walked over and said, "Genius, it's time to get married." β
The talented man didn't know if he was choked by the drink or because he was sad, and there were tears flashing in his bloodshot eyes, "I know, Uncle Li." β
Li Shangmi looked distressed, and said with a far-fetched smile: "Why is it still called Uncle Li, it's time to change your words." β
The young scholar grinned, "Got it, father-in-law." β
Zhang Caizi's small house is too small, not many people can be squeezed, Hua Wenxiang and the maids and servants of the Li Mansion are crowded together, all want to see the two newcomers worship the church and get married, at this time, there are also many people outside the door to witness the worship of the two newcomers, but they can't squeeze in at all, so they have to look in as much as possible with their feet crossed.
Juan'er helped her young lady out of the marriage room, and then let her stand side by side with Zhang Caizi.
The officiating marriages sitting in front of the two are Li Shangmi and Yin Ming.
The firelight in the gauze lamp swayed, reflecting all the figures in the room, fluttering, and the housekeeper of the Li Mansion shouted the words of worship loudly.
"Worship heaven and earth...... The second worship of the high church...... Husband and wife worship each other...... Shared in the cave room. β
After the two newlyweds bowed three times, Zhang Caizi walked to the wedding room with Li Jiaren in his arms, and everyone stayed here to watch the two newlyweds enter the cave room together with blessed eyes.
In the bright wedding room, Li Jiaren with a hijab sat on the bed, Zhang Caizi was not drunk at all for some reason, he slowly lifted the red hijab, and Li Jiaren's beautiful face was displayed in front of the reader.
However, at this time, Li Jiaren's face was very pale.
Zhang Caizi smiled gently, "Beauty, you are so good-looking." As he spoke, the reader involuntarily kissed the woman on the forehead.
After a kiss, Li Jiaren was as tender as water, "Caizi, you sit next to me, I want to talk to you for a while." β
Zhang Caizi sat next to Li Jiaren, and then put one hand around the woman's shoulder, the woman snuggled in the man's arms, and said softly: "Caizi, the two of us are finally married." I've been waiting for this day for a long time. β
"I've made you suffer, Pretty Lady. β
"Do you say that there is really such a thing as reincarnation in this world?"
"There should be. β
"Then do you think we will be together in the next life?"
"Well, in the next life, in the next life, no matter what life it is, we will be together. β
"You're so nice, talented, it's really good to know you in this life. β
"You too, Beauty. β
......
"Caizi, I'm a little sleepy, can I sleep for a while? β
The young scholar burst into tears and choked up: "Be good, don't sleep first, and then talk to me for a few words." β
A handkerchief covered with blood slipped from the woman's sleeve, and she could no longer hear the words of her beloved man, so she used her last strength to say gently: "Just sleep for a while......"
Before the words were finished, the woman fell into the man's arms and fell asleep peacefully, but this sleep would never wake up again.
......
......
In the early morning of the next day, the people of the entire Zhongzhuo Village were like a dream, and all the red flowers in the Li Mansion were removed, in exchange for pieces of mourning flowers and lamps.
Overnight, happy events turned into funerals, red events turned into white events, it was unbelievable.
This bad news soon spread in Zhuangzi, and many people came here to verify this fact, and Li Jiaren, the daughter of the Li family, died of incense.
The young scholar hugged the woman in his arms all night, during which he did not move at all, and his mind only recalled the bits and pieces of the past.
Early this morning, Juan'er went to call the two to get up, but no one opened the door for a long time, Juan'er always felt that something was wrong, so she entered the house without permission in a hurry.
It's just that the next scene is destined to become a shadow in Juan'er's life, the godless uncle sat on the bed with his young lady in his arms, and the smiling pale face of his own young lady made her understand everything at once......
Hua Wenxiang and everyone finally understood why Li Shangmi and Zhang Caizi had a sad face in the past few days, and now that they think about it, it seems that only when Li Jiaren is by their side, these people will smile a little as usual.
It turned out that Li Shangmi and they knew from the beginning that Li Jiaren's time was running out, and the illness of this infatuated woman was powerless, and the reason why she was able to survive until now was probably all due to an obsession waiting to marry her beloved man.
The most touching thing in the world should be a woman's infatuation.
After marrying the man you love, you have no regrets in this life, and the same is true for the affectionate man.
The matter has come to this point, and Hua Wenxiang and everyone have no choice but to face the reality, but it's a pity that Sister Beauty, such a good person, left early.
The funeral lasted for three days and three nights, and everyone was doing their best to help them in these days.
Zhang Caizi had already resigned from the official position given by the imperial court, and he originally wanted to become a monk, but he thought that Zhao Chang might still come to trouble his father-in-law Li Shangmi, so he decided to wait for this turmoil to completely pass before leaving Zhuangzi.
Hua Wenxiang and Li Shangmi did not dissuade him from this move, Ruluo also said that if he could, he would recommend him to go to Xuanyun Temple to be a monk, and then he would write a letter to say hello to the master.
This young scholar cares too deeply about his beloved woman, and he doesn't want to think about tea and food these days, and he is languishing like a living dead, so it seems that it is most suitable to shave his ordination and stay away from the red dust.
