Chapter Seventy-Six: The Wedding
The bride sat in front of the dresser in her wedding dress, listening to the festive sound of gongs and drums outside the door, and was already crying like a tearful person, and on the side, sat her best friends in the building. She wasn't the prettiest compared to them, but she was undoubtedly the luckiest.
Her luck was that he met a man named Zhang Xiaozheng, and his friends called him Kitten.
After a mere encounter, the man generously ransomed her with money and took her to this small courtyard. Since then, she has lived the most ordinary life of leaning on the door and looking back. The man is a soldier, and the days of the month can come back are limited, but as long as it is once, she always tries her best to make the man more comfortable.
She was originally cultivated in the building since she was a child, proficient in chess, piano, calligraphy and painting, and basically did not get involved in rough work, but after following this man, she pulled her skirt and went to the kitchen, washed her hands and soup, and when the man was not at home, she didn't even bother to do it when the man was not at home, but she was ******** thinking about how to decorate this small courtyard more warm and home-like.
Yes, like home.
She never expected to be able to marry that man in a dignified manner, just because she was a Qinglou woman, when she was young and beautiful, she naturally had someone to hold, care for, and support, and once she was old and decrepit, she would inevitably end up bleak, which was also the most common fate in their industry. Fate had already favored her once, and she didn't expect a second time.
What's more, a man is a person with status, a general. Although the man told her that he was not a general, in her eyes, how could a big official who could command thousands of people not be a general, even if he was not now, he would be in the future. For such a person, his wife must be a famous lady, and he can't get her turn, so he never expects that she can live this kind of life now, she is very satisfied.
Her hands are rougher, her waist is plump, and now she looks more like a housewife. She lived in peace with the status quo until that day, when the man went out with his friend with a knife, and the words before leaving completely stunned her.
Great happiness and joy are followed by greater fear. Men never say those words of love and love, and their concern and affection for her are more reflected in their actions. But that day, the man suddenly said that he would marry her when he came back alive. This shows that the man is extremely dangerous.
She cried and wanted to tell her that she was pregnant with his child and wanted to beg him not to go. But after a few years of life, she knows this man deeply and will never change his mind because of this. If she said it, it would only add more concern to her heart, although she didn't know how to fight, but she also knew that at this time, what she should help was to let men go to the battlefield without worry.
She didn't believe in Buddhism, she went to buy back a statue of Guanyin, praying for the safe return of the man in front of the Buddha statue every day, sitting in front of the Buddha statue, she began to embroider her wedding dress with stitches and threads, she didn't do it before, because she felt that she was not worthy of marrying such a man at all.
The war broke out as scheduled, more than 100,000 Qin people besieged Nanyang City, the refugees outside the city were like a tide, and the people in the city were like shuttles, she locked herself in the house, trembling and embroidering her wedding dress, pricking up her ears to listen to the hustle and bustle outside, how many times the needle pierced her fingers, and the blood stained the wedding dress red.
She finally got through the most difficult days in panic, and when she finished embroidering the last stitch of the wedding dress, there was a huge cheer from the city, and the people of Western Qin were gone.
The gates opened, but she still didn't dare to go out. She didn't know what was going on outside, she didn't know if the man was still alive. Until one day, the rhythm of the man's knocking on the door and the haunting sound sounded, and she flew up like a happy bird, flew to the door, opened the door, ignored the sideways of the passers-by on the street, threw herself into the man's arms, hugged the man's neck tightly, and wept silently.
"I'm back, I'm going to marry you!" Men always speak so concisely and powerfully.
"Hong'er, on a big day, what are you crying about, you should be happy." The two women behind her put their arms around her shoulders and whispered comfort, their faces full of uncontrollable envy, not everyone had the same good fortune as her.
"I just cried because I was happy." Hong'er raised her face and said.
The sound of gongs and drums had reached the door, and the woman in the house covered Hong'er's head with a red hijab and helped her up. There was already a knock on the door outside, "The bridegroom is coming to pick up the bride!" A rough voice rang out: "The bride has opened the door!" ”
The door opened slowly, Zhang Xiaomei was full of smiles, a big red flower was put on his chest by the monk, and he was holding a long piece of red silk in his hand, which was all touched by the monk.
"Fun!" Seeing a couple of newlyweds walking towards the front hall with red silk in hand, the monk happily danced with his own marriage, running before and after running. The master of ceremonies should be really dedicated.
"Worship heaven and earth!" A couple of newlyweds holding red silk looked at the sky and worshipped.
"Second worship high hall!" This time, it was the two spirit cards offered on the table.
"Husband and wife bow to each other! Send it to the cave room! ”
The simple and bright wedding, quite a military style, after three bows, the ceremony is over, but the kitten did not take the bride into the cave room, but went straight to the bride over, stretched out his hand to uncover the bride's red hijab.
"Kitten, this is not etiquette!" The master of ceremonies reminded loudly.
The kitten smiled slightly: "All of you here today are good friends, good brothers, but they don't pay so much attention, Hong'er, come, let me introduce you, this is Dr. Shu, who has saved my life many times, and is my life-saving benefactor." ”
The woman bowed in her skirt and smiled comfortably and leaned sideways.
"This shouting bald head, called a monk, is just a flower monk. Eat, drink, prostitute and gamble proficiently. ”
Hearing the kitten's introduction, the monk suddenly stretched his face, "Kitten, don't bring this, you slander my reputation in front of my sister-in-law, which makes me how to behave in front of my sister-in-law in the future." ”
The wild dog laughed, "Tell you the truth, monk, anyway, your skin is thicker than the city wall, isn't it still embarrassing!" Sister-in-law, you can call me a wild dog. We people, no one remembers our real names, we and the kitten are all friends, that gloomy guy who owes him money like everyone else is called Scissors, the last time your man was beaten by him and couldn't get up. When the toast is made later, the sister-in-law should not forget to secretly put some croton for him. ”
"Hello sister-in-law!" Scissors walked up and clenched their fists in salute.
The woman blushed and saluted them one by one.
"Everyone, today I let Hong'er officially meet with you, and she will be my Zhang Kitten's wife in the future, today, in front of my brother and my wife, I have something important to announce." The kitten's face was solemn and authentic.
The room fell silent.
"In this battle, the western frontier army is gone, my wind-chasing battalion is gone, and my heart is cold. Today I married my daughter-in-law, and my daughter-in-law is pregnant with my child, so I want to live a serious life, next, I will say goodbye to my military career, I will resign from my official position, no longer be a soldier, and I will accompany my wife and children to live a small life in the future, please forgive me! The kitten hit the ground, and the woman looked at him with surprise and delight.
Everyone was silent at first, and then they all nodded in understanding, the kitten had already cleared himself, he could resign, but the other three, if they wanted to not be soldiers now, they could only escape, but in this way, they would never be able to clear their hands.
Thinking of their current situation, everyone is a little gloomy, and they don't know how to live the next few days?
"When Boss Qin comes back, let's talk about other things!" The wild dog slapped the table, "If Boss Qin doesn't come back, I will definitely become a deserter." This battle is fought in a shackle, hold your breath, and if you stay here, you will be tossed to death sooner or later. ”
"Today's big day for the kittens, what are you doing with these, come, drink, drink." The monk raised his hands high, "Wild dog, aren't you drunk with a thousand cups, let me see what people are capable of." ”
"Today's main character is a kitten, don't be mistaken." Scissors finally showed a rare smile on his face, "If you don't put the kitten down, no one is allowed to go out today." ”
"Set the wine, set the wine." There was a shout and a shout.
