410 Flower Candles

......
"Send it to the cave roomβ"
After worshipping heaven and earth, worshipping the elders, the groom took the red silk in the bride's hand and slowly walked to the main room in the backyard.
Both of them are very thin, and the bride is especially petite. In fact, the bridegroom is only fifteen years old, and the bride is fourteen years old.
The hall was still lively, and a group of young women in costume watched the two leave with satisfied smiles on their faces.
The bride suddenly stopped walking, and the groom was stunned, pulled twice, and continued to move forward half-dragged.
The bride cried, and the groom also had a stinky face.
When they came to the new house in the backyard, all the people retreated, and the bride sat on the edge of the bed with her head bowed, sobbing and crying in a low voice.
The groom cut the candles, it was still early outside, and he didn't understand why the candles were lit in the room, but this was something that the sister-in-law had told him to do.
took off her flower hat, untied her belt, opened her shirt, and glared at her with disgust: "Naniel, why are you crying? Do you think I want to marry you?"
"Do you think I want to marry you!" The bride tore off the red hijab embroidered with mandarin ducks, walked to the groom with her skirt, tilted her head and said, "You go and make it clear to your sister-in-law, and send me back immediately while we haven't a cave yet." β
The groom snorted coldly and glanced at her contemptuously.
He knew her when he was very young, when she was younger, he always dragged her to the street to play, every time he came home, her pink face was full of tears, adults don't need to ask and know who bullied her, but maybe because he often bullied her, no one cared, and he didn't scold him, he just felt that it was common. She also gradually got used to being bullied. He did not pretend to be pitiful and beg the adults to punish him.
But it's strange to say. No matter how much he bullied her. She wouldn't really be angry, she thought about it in her logical little head, and came to a result that she was very unhappy with, she liked him.
The root of her dissatisfaction was that she knew he didn't like her. This is something she can't accept, although she is small, she has also thought about marriage. She had to marry someone who loved her like a baby, and he wasn't.
No matter how obedient she was, she followed him without crying or making trouble, and even said that she would help him wash his dirty clothes, but he didn't like her, so she didn't want to marry him.
Although she had to marry him every time she played with the family, she didn't really think like this in her heart. The paradox is that Erbao and Datou are so good to her, and the family is vying to make her a daughter-in-law, but she is unwilling to live or die. And they want to get out of here.
Since last year, a big question has been haunting her mind. Is it to marry someone who likes her, or someone she likes?
This problem has not been solved yet, a bigger problem has arrived, her father wants her to marry Su Mu, the seventh member of the Su family, who is the one who makes her cry every time she takes her out.
What kind of person is Su Mu? even if she is so familiar with him, she can't tell what kind of person he is, she only knows that many times Su Qi does not allow others to bully her. But she was protected by him too little, because few people in Jinhuang Town dared to bully her. Her father is the shopkeeper of the largest gambling house in the town, and Mayor Tan took the initiative to come over to talk with a yellow tooth hippie smile when he saw it.
He bullied her, but she liked him, what a ridiculous thing! And now, his sister-in-law and her father actually agreed to him marrying her, she felt extremely aggrieved, especially when she heard Su Qi smashing dishes at home and scolding people, and even going on a hunger strike to resist, could he still be wronged? She is so beautiful, even the mayor's son Erbao is fascinated by her, and the other friends can't walk when they see her, and they want to play with her, she is so charming, why should she marry someone who doesn't like her?
Since the day she learned the news, she and Su Qi have cut off contact, and she is ready, when Su Qi comes to her, she must slam the door to express her dissatisfaction. But Su Mu never came to her again.
Why do adults do this? They can't even be friends now!
She got married in such a daze, and cried for some unknown reason, but not only did he not know how to pity it, but also said cool things! Do you really think that I, Ruan Wanxi, want to marry you?
Su Mu didn't want to marry her, he looked at this girl who had been bullied by him since she was a child, and suddenly felt ridiculous and smiled bitterly.
Ruan Wanwan is very beautiful, her delicate facial features are already a little charming, and she is childish. The body also developed earlier than others, and he still remembers riding a horse in the pasture last year, sweating from playing, taking off his coat one after another, lying in one place to rest, and falling asleep unconsciously.
He was awakened by a commotion in his body, and found Ruan Wanxuan lying on top of him, with two pigtails hanging down on his neck, tickling. However, this was not enough to disturb him, what made him restless was the touch sensation on his chest, and from that day he knew that Ruan Wanxi had gradually become a woman.
The first commotion of his life was thus dedicated to her.
The next day, the forgetfulness was gone.
He never thought that he would marry her one day, he just regarded her as an object to show off and boast about, he was always very confident in front of her, and he could do whatever he wanted, plus every time she looked at him with adoration, the more he became obsessed with the feeling of being with her, and that feeling was ...... Powerful.
This powerful feeling that fascinated him stemmed from the deep inferiority complex in his heart, his dantian was not hard like all the children in the town, he could not be a majestic martial artist. It is because of this that he is particularly obsessed with a qiΔ reason that can make him feel powerful. Nanielle is one of them.
He was arrogant, and at least he didn't think he should marry a girl who resembled a. But the sister-in-law said that the Su family is in danger, and the Ruan family is wealthy, so they can help more in the future, otherwise the Su family is likely to fall completely. With an arrogant heart, he realized that it was better to marry Ruan Wanqian than begging for food on the street with a poor family and sleeping in the corner of the wall with a smelly old beggar at night.
It's a big deal to take her off later.
He turned away from her, hugged his arms and said, "I'm not going, my sister-in-law will marry you if I ask me to marry you, anyway, I won't call you a lady in the future." β
"I won't call you Xianggong either!" Ruan Wanxuan turned around and said with a small face.
A tear slipped down her baby's fat goose egg face and fell into the corner of her bright red lips.
Su Mu was stunned by her attitude, and rebelled with the fart, how dare you talk to me like this. Outrageous. If my sisters-in-law hadn't begged me, I would have married you? Let's take a look at some color.
Su Mu also thought a lot, a few days ago, his sister-in-law's phone call was very shocking to him, even if the sister-in-law didn't say it, he could see that the Su family was really not the Su family before, the family's business was getting more and more bleak, and there was no proper trustworthy person to take care of it, because the men were all dead!
Ten years ago, the Su family was the most prominent family in Jinhuang Town, Huafeng Kingdom.
Now, the men of the Su family are dead. There is only one left, Su Mu, who is the seventh in line.
Master Su overindulged in his later years and burped in a woman's arms.
Soon after, one of his two younger brothers suffered a stroke and the other was knocked on a stick, and died instantly. The second master who had a stroke was able to barely walk on the ground after a month, running all over the compound, but he couldn't let him be supported, he fell headlong, couldn't stand up again, and was depressed all day long. Sick and dying.
The three lords have a total of seven children.
Su Qi's eldest brother died of a serious illness, and the second brother drank all day. He died of willow disease. The third brother died in the war. The fourth and fifth children played cards in Ruan Wanxi's gambling house, offended the martial arts master who passed by and played two games, and was beaten to death. The sixth died the most bizarre, it is said that he took a group of small guys to catch a snow fox that night, chased to the mountains and never came back, some said that the snow fox was a monster, ate them, some said that it was a fox spirit, specifically to seduce men, the sixth they must have been fascinated and refused to come back.
There is only the seventh child left in the family.
Su Qi now has six sisters-in-law in the main house and twenty-two sisters-in-law in the partial house.
As for those aunts, they were placed in another hospital by Su Qi's eldest brother to care for the elderly. There is no Su Qi's mother among them, it's ridiculous, he doesn't know who his mother is, he only knows that he was born overnight with the maid in his old age. It is said that the eldest master has galloped through the flowers all his life, and he is a master, so he will not make such a mistake, thinking that the maid wants to be the ghost of the master's secret, which caused the matter to spread out, making him lose his virtue, and he was displeased and drove out of the house.
Tragically, none of the six older brothers had a queen. Outside it is said that the ancestors of the Su family have done too many good deeds, and God has punished them with no successor.
His brothers and uncles died one after another within ten years, as if they were contagious.
It's shameful to say that with the death of his brothers, Su Fenghuang's status in the family has risen rapidly, and he has been able to sit on an equal footing with the sister-in-law who is now in charge of the family business. The sister-in-law who is away from home will also take a back seat, and he will 'call the shots' in everything. After all, in a man's world, how can a woman speak.
He is the only one left in the Su family's bloodline, and the sister-in-law is afraid that he will burp early, and the Su family has no successor, so she half-threatens and half-begs him to get married.
As soon as the guests left, the six sisters-in-law of the main house sneaked to the backyard and squatted under the window to listen to the movement.
The Su family is now in charge of Su Qi's sister-in-law, the Liang family. Liang Qinghe is a famous lady, her mother's family is a prominent family in Hexi Town, and she has an elder brother who is an official on the coast. She has been knowledgeable since she was a child, she is a loyal and fierce woman, although her husband's family is dead, she is unswerving and resolutely does not return to her parents' home. With her in this home, there is no scattering.
Several other sisters-in-law were also loyal and did not want to remarry, but according to local customs, they could not get married....but those side houses were gradually sent away by the Liang family.
"Why hasn't there been any movement? Is it over?" The fifth sister-in-law, Ye, was straightforward and opened her mouth first.
Liang pressed his ears again, frowned, and said, "I told Lao Qi last night, the bride please enter the room, and you can't have sex until you return to the west." Now that the sun has just set, I should not have done anything. β
The third sister-in-law, Xu Shi, said with a smile: "I'm afraid that the seventh brother doesn't know anything about men and women, and I don't know where to start." Sister, why don't I go in and teach the seventh child?"
Liang Shi smiled, glared at her, and said: "Lao Qi is stiff and thin-skinned, besides, how can someone else teach him this kind of thing? He can't even touch a woman? Listen first, if there is no movement for a while, find someone to go in and hint." β
Thinking of the picture that Lao Qi might be at a loss in the room and didn't know how to start, several young women covered their mouths and smiled together.
Now Su Mu has no ambition under the tears of fate, and is always ready to compromise with fate next time, but he is sure that he is not willing to stay in Jinhuang Town for the rest of his life, he wants to be a martial artist, and then go out to have a look, eager to shape him into a man with strong winds and waves. But marriage has become his biggest fetter, he feels that Ruan Wanxian has stopped his future steps, and he has begun to hate her.
Since the two entered the room, the red candle on the table had been half lit, and they had a few words. Ruan Wanxian put the hijab on again. Sitting on the bed without saying a word, sulking. I thought regretfully: "I shouldn't lift my hijab myself, and I can't be angry again, that's Su Qi's business, what's the matter with taking it off by yourself." Just sit like this, if he doesn't lift his head, everyone will freeze until dawn, don't think that you have a temper. I can accommodate you before, and when I get married, you must learn to treat me well, otherwise I will always let you despise me, where will I have my status in the Su family in the future?"
Su Mu held a book in his hand. No one else was watching.
Two people who are friends but don't feel right, after one party confesses, this friendship will immediately become overwhelming, like a piece of driftwood in the sea split in half and float away. And how much more is marriage.
The moon rose out of the darkness like a girl out of the pavilion, and her face gradually became clearer, and the sisters-in-law under the window waited impatiently.
They pierced the window paper, spied a qiΔ, and couldn't help but laugh angrily.
Sister-in-law Liang worried: "It seems that Lao Qi really doesn't understand the affairs of men and women, so I have to find someone to mention it." β
The third sister-in-law, Xu Shibian, said with a smile: "It's nothing if I go in, I can get that face." I'm afraid that Lao Qi and Wan Wan will feel embarrassed. β
Liang said resolutely: "This is a major event for the succession of the lineage, and there is no need to be stubborn. Besides, it's not a matter of time before the marriage is over. You go in. β
The third sister-in-law, Xu, is a charming woman, good at sexual affairs, not long after marrying into the Su family, her husband voluntarily conscripted into the army, she has been empty for many years, and often resentful. It is said that women and men like her, who are good at serving, are like treasures, but the third child of the Su family joined the army early, and she took the initiative to ask for help, which couldn't help but make her feel very melancholy. The third child of the Su family talked about this matter with someone in the army, and sighed: "The family has a colored wife, who is fiercer than a tiger, five times a day, she is radiant, I am getting thinner and thinner, where am I here to join the army, it is really to avoid trouble!"
Xu pushed the door, didn't open it, and said softly: "Old Seven, are you sleeping?"
"Who?"
"I, third sister-in-law. β
Su Mula opened the door and said with a smile: "The third sister-in-law hasn't rested yet, what's the matter at night?"
He closed the door with both hands, revealing only two gaps in width, apparently not wanting her to come in.
Xu is the best at dealing with men, how can Su Qi be able to help her with this little Taoism, he is completely unaware of his coldness, his waist is twisted, his shoulders are slanted, and the woman's demeanor is suddenly revealed, she has a charming eye, and said with a smile: "Old Seven, how old are you this year?"
"I go to the third sister-in-law's room to kowtow every year on my birthday, you don't know how old I am?"
Xu pinched his waist with both hands, and said with a sneer: "Of course your third sister-in-law knows when you are fifteen years old, but the key is that you must know that when a man reaches fifteen, it is the time to be curious about women, what should he do if he is curious?
Su Mu knew a little about the temperament of the third sister-in-law, and liked to say some refreshing words, although she was slightly embarrassed, she didn't care much, and said in a low voice: "It's Nan Nier sitting in my room, is that a woman." But if I have a little curiosity about women, when I see that face, it's all gone. β
Xu looked like an old man, and smiled mysteriously: "Old Seven, you don't understand this, no matter how familiar you are with her, it is all superficial, and you have to know if you are interested in it." β
"How do you get to know better?"
Xu smiled mysteriously: "It is a kind of selfless communication, the convergence of wind and clouds, until sublimation." β
"Third sister-in-law, I don't understand what you said. β
Xu was anxious, and pushed him and said, "Go straight on!"
Rao is Su Mu is sluggish, and his face turned red when he heard this, and he said hesitantly: "No...... Isn't that okay?"
The sister-in-law Liang over there said worriedly: "This Xu Yaya, she won't let her give some hints, so I'll go." β
The second sister-in-law, Zhang, grabbed her and said, "The so-called shame is not with the three of them, and the sister-in-law appears again and looks abrupt, isn't it just a hole in the room, Xu Ya is more transparent than us, just let her watch it." β
Liang had always listened to her persuasion, so he suppressed his temperament and obediently squatted in place and did not move.
Su Mu saw that the third sister-in-law had no intention of leaving, so she invited into the room, poured tea, and said in a low voice: "Third sister-in-law, I have said everything, I really have no interest in Nan Nier, since I have already married into the family, let's just leave it at that, go back and let my sister-in-law add a bed for me." β
Xu glanced at the bride sitting on the bed in the inner room, snorted, and said, "Are you so stupid or pretending to be stupid, why did your sister-in-law marry you a daughter-in-law?"
"Naniel's family has money and can help us. β
"What else?"
"My sister-in-law likes her, and I heard that she almost recognized her relatives in her early years. β
"What else?"
"What else?"
Xu's pretended to give him a white look: "Give birth to a white fat boy for our Su family." β
"She's still young, let's talk about it in two years. β
"You can give birth even if you're small. The daughter-in-law of the Junko family next door was pregnant with a child at the age of thirteen. There are so many children in the town who are as old as Wan Xuan. What the Su family lacks most is not money. It's a man, it's a man, and you don't plan to touch her in the future?"
Su Mu snorted with a gloomy face.
Xu's face hated that iron was not made of steel, and pulling Su Mu was a beating, but he was very measured, and his powder fists were not implemented, as if he was beating his lover coquettishly.
"You stinky boy who doesn't wake up! The sisters-in-law are all widowed, and now that you marry your daughter-in-law, do you still want people to be widowed! Go and lift the hijab, go quickly. β
Su Mu let her beat. Stand still alive or dead.
"Third sister-in-law, don't force him, since he said so, if he wants to touch me in the future, he won't let him touch it. Ruan Wan's angry voice came from the inner room.
Xu Shi suddenly felt embarrassed, she consciously lowered her voice very low, but she didn't expect to be listened to.
She hooked her neck and said with a dry smile: "Sister Ruan, we don't know each other very well, but we are not outsiders, the third sister-in-law said something you listen carefully, Lao Qi is now the only man in the Su family." For hundreds of years, the Su family has a great business and a prosperous family. But who knew that when he reached this generation, he would stop cooking all of a sudden, no, none of his six elder brothers had a queen, and the whole family was counting on him. He is childish now, don't be like her, I'll coax him, and you will have sex in a while. β
Ruan Wanxuan sat honestly and sneered under the hijab: "Sister-in-law, don't say that, if you really coax him for this kind of thing, it will not only make me look down on you, but also despise myself." β
Xu Shi opened his eyes and immediately understood that this Ruan Wanxian was not simple, at least her tongue was very weighty. This is said to be a persuasion on the left, a warning in the middle, and a curse on the right.
She was defeated in just this sentence, and she asked herself if she couldn't deal with it, and her second sister-in-law had to come out of the way.
She left in a hurry, and after a while, the door was opened, and the eldest sister-in-law Liang walked in with five concubines, and said with a smile: "Old Seven, the things ahead are all busy, come and see you, don't bother?"
Liang is equivalent to half a mother in Su Mu's heart, and he has always been neglectful to her, as soon as he saw her, he immediately stood up, bowed and saluted, and said: "Sister-in-law, it's been a busy day, sit down first, I'll pour you a cup of tea, sister-in-law also sit, I'll go to the kitchen to boil a pot of hot water." β
"Seventh brother, don't be busy, they all came over after drinking tea, let's just see how you and Wanxiao get along. Liang's smiling face narrowed, and he said: "It seems that you don't get along well, what is this like? Why is the bride's hijab still there? Lao Qi, in front of Wan Xuan, let me ask you, are you satisfied with this marriage?"
According to Su Mu's usual temperament of daring to say and do, he must say that he is not satisfied, but he understands the intention of his sister-in-law to ask this, and he does not dare to say no.
"Satisfied, as long as it is explained by the sister-in-law, Su Qi will gladly accept it. β
Liang was about to speak, when he suddenly saw his second sister Zhang smile faintly, knowing that she had something to say, so he stopped talking. Zhang's eloquence is well-known in Jinhuang Town, from the mayor to the muddy, there is nothing she can't deal with.
She picked up a cup of herbal tea on the table, put it to her lips and took a sip.
Su Mu hurriedly said: "Second sister-in-law, that's herbal tea, I'll pour you a cup of hot tea." β
Zhang sighed lightly and said melancholy: "The wife of the deceased husband, it's good to have a cup of herbal tea to drink." β
If the sister-in-law is full of respect and must bow to her, then for the second sister-in-law Zhang, Su Mu is respectful and afraid, the second sister-in-law is exquisite, everything can't escape her eyes, and she can always speak in one sentence, directly hitting the bottom line of defense in people's hearts, with the mayor of Jinhuang Town's evaluation of her: "Sister Zhang is a woman in her life, if she is born a man, don't say that she is a lobbyist for the general, even if she is not inferior to the emperor Laozi's house." β
When Mr. Su was alive, his favorite was the second sister-in-law, and she had what other sisters-in-law had, and she also had what other sisters-in-law didn't. Even the personal maid has two more than the sister-in-law, and the rule still does not change after the death of Master Su.
With her mouth, the contribution she has made to the Su family is difficult to count, in the early years, the couple followed Master Su to the northwest to buy tea to sell, a group of men talked for a few days but did not get a bargain, as soon as the Zhang family came out of the horse, the price of the tea in the ten carriages dropped by one percent, which was equivalent to earning a carriage of tea in vain. Since then, the big purchase of the family's business has become the indispensable main thing.
's talent in business has greatly increased Zhang's status in the Su family, and no one dares to say a word to her except Master Su. However, there are gains and losses, she follows the team to contact business outside all the year round, and the relationship between husband and wife is wasted, and her husband secretly messes around in Fengyue Street every day, and dies of Hualiu disease. It has also become a hate in her heart. (To be continued......)
