31. Flower candles sleepless nights

Nuan Xiang was suddenly pounced on the couch by the villain, first startled and was about to say that she was not a lady, but when she raised her eyes, she found that what she saw in the middle of the night was a grimace!

"Ahh She didn't know that it was a ghost mask, and she was so frightened that she almost lost her soul, and she couldn't help screaming in fright.

"Huh?" The villain snorted, and from Nuan Xiang's simple clothes, he could see that she was not the main master, and he was a little stunned for a while.

"Die!" Yan Bing took this opportunity to hug the celadon vase resting in the corner, and lifted it up and smashed it on his head after approaching lightly.

The man seemed to be accustomed to activities at night, and suddenly smelled the strong smell of fat powder on the bride's body, pressed Nuan Xiang's shoulder with his left hand, and then raised his right arm to push and unload the force.

Hearing the sound of "clang", the vase only hit his arm, then slipped to the ground, and rolled to the side a few times, and the early-blooming red plums inserted in the bottle were scattered all over the ground, although the fragrance was overflowing, but it was not at the right time.

"The little beauty is here!" The villain raised his eyes and saw Yan Bing, who was a little stunned when the vase was empty. Then he lowered his voice and laughed, and his arms were wide open, so if he changed the object, he would pounce again!

The smell of alcohol came to his face as he spoke, forcing Yan Bing to be nauseous. In a hurry, she pulled out the peony hairpin on her head, raised her arm and poked it into the man's throat.

While resisting, she shouted for help with Nuan Xiang: "There is a thief!" Come on! There are thieves stealing dowry! ”

Calling for help is also a technical job, but you can't just say that there are disciples who have entered the new house to steal incense, and catching thieves is the best excuse, and flower thieves are also thieves!

The gangster was startled by Yan Bing's loud voice, and was almost poked in the shoulder by Jin Hai, and then he hurriedly reached out to grab the four-inch long flower hairpin with a sharp end like a murder weapon......

At the same time as the villains entered the new house, Wen Yuan, who was locked next door, was kicking and knocking on the door hard, but no one came to open it. In an instant, he vaguely heard Yan Bing's cry for help, and he was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot.

Wen Yuan regretted that he did not marry in his adoptive father's house, but chose his own three-entry hut. Although the adoptive father's place is more public, after all, the Duan family's family rules are strict and there are many servants, and there are slaves and maids to guide the way in and out of the inner courtyard, and the mother-in-law to guard the door, so there will never be such a thing!

It's a pity that it's useless to regret it now.

In Yan Bing's cry for help, Wen Yuan suddenly pulled out the dagger hidden in the brocade boots, raised his arm and poked at the fine part of the carved half of the wooden door, chiseled a few deep holes in three or five strokes, and then slammed his elbow with his fist, and suddenly hit a big hole.

He thrust the dagger into his waist, then took a few steps back, galloped and jumped up with his strength, and in an instant he jumped out of the doorway, and went straight to the marriage room.

When Wen Yuan rushed into the new house in a panic, he was afraid that he would not be able to catch up in time, just as the villain had just taken away the golden hairpin, and he was pinching the hairpin with his backhand and wanted to pounce on Yan Bing, and his mouth was not clean and said: "Beauty, give my brother a fragrant~~"

"Fragrant your grandma!" Wen Yuan's sword eyebrows were furious, and he threw himself over with a loud shout.

Nuan Xiang is also the protector of the heart, as soon as he got out, he took the initiative to pounce on Yan Bing again, kicked and dragged the villain unceremoniously, just to fight for a gap for Wen Yuan, pounced on him and stretched his legs to kick the man to the ground.

"Ouch......" The man in the face of the man rolled to the ground and cried out in pain, and when he saw the unexpected sudden arrival of the male master, he disrupted all his plans and couldn't help but sigh.

Even, he was obviously thinner than Wen Yuan, and he had to flee from the door if he couldn't beat him.

Wen Yuan hurriedly chased out the door, just in time to see his younger brother Wen Yuan walking slowly with the child servant, he hurriedly shouted: "Ah Heng! Catch the man in red! That's a thief! He stole your sister-in-law's dowry. "The golden hairpin is still in the man's hand, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he stole something.

After saying that, Wen Yuan returned to the new house, even if Wen Yuan's younger brother couldn't catch someone, he could only admit it, at this moment, he couldn't leave his wife alone in the room - there was more than one villain, what if something happened again?

When he turned around, he saw that Yan Bing's legs suddenly fell to the ground, so he sat on the footstool and covered his face and was so scared that he was crying, and his heart was so painful that he was almost out of breath, so he quickly stepped forward and half-knelt and hugged his wife's shoulder.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here! Warm incense lights up the lamps and candles, and they all light them. When the lights were on, he realized that Yan Bing was not hurt except for the slight messy hair, but Nuan Xiang had been scratched on her jaw in the previous scuffle, and she was slowly oozing blood to stain her clothes red, but she herself was unaware.

It just so happened that at this moment, the slave maid Yaxiang, who had just gone to the kitchen to serve hot food, hurriedly came, Wen Yuan immediately got up and took the gold sore medicine from the cage, and ordered: "Fortunately, the wound is not deep, quickly take a handkerchief and bandage her." ”

Later, when Yaxiang helped Nuan Xiang to rest next door, Yan Bing grabbed Wen Yuan's sleeve in shock and said in fear: "Is it Liu Zixu?" Isn't it him?! When you came in, I vaguely heard someone outside shouting 'Ah Xu run', and then the man fled in a hurry! "He said he was going to make a scene!

"......" Wen Yuan thought about it carefully, and even remembered that he had heard a similar voice when he was locked in the ear room, and then shook his head and said: "The body is similar, but the voice is not, and Ah Xu is not this kind of person." ”

"Jung Gongxu?!" Yan Bing covered her chest and frowned, and mentioned another person's name, called "Ah Xu", she only recognized these two, both wearing masks, it must be someone she had seen, not this one, it should be another.

"How could I possibly invite him." Wen Yuan shook his head again. In his heart, he estimated that the number of people at this wedding banquet far exceeded his expectations, and there may be uninvited people.

As he was talking, he saw Wen Heng turn back with a bitter face, and stood at the door of the new house and said with a regretful face: "I didn't catch it, I was hit by someone when I turned the corner, and he disappeared in the blink of an eye - I thought it was about the inner courtyard, and I didn't dare to shout loudly for help." What's going on? ”

"Someone snatched my clothes and broke into the marriage room, stole your sister-in-law's peony and beaded gold hairpin, resisted arrest and injured Nuan Xiang." Wen Yuan pinched his head and talked about it from the end, omitting the most unbearable paragraph.

"Report to the officer?" Wen Heng frowned and asked through the screen, and ran out of the wedding room...... Even if it just hurts the servant, it doesn't sound good to say!

Yan Bing also thought of this question, her little face turned white, and the hand that held Wen Yuan's arm suddenly tightened, and her long bright red nails made him feel painful.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid," Wen Yuan hurriedly hugged Yan Bing tightly, patted her gently on the back to appease, and then raised his voice to his younger brother and instructed, "Let's talk slowly." You help me go and see where Liu Zixu is, and ask him if he has come to make trouble. Let Zhulu and Ning Qing guard the second gate, and don't let people in again. ”

Wen Heng agreed and left, and in an instant, there was silence in the house, only the husband and wife were left, and they were supposed to spend a good night with He Meimei, but Yan Bing looked at the petals and blood stains all over the place, and choked with a trembling voice from her lips trembling slightly: "Why is it so weak...... It's horrible, I can't live in this house! ”

As she spoke, her eyes were dripping with water, and when her long eyelashes blinked, tears hung on them and then slowly rolled down.

"I'm sorry, it's all my fault! If you feel bad, hit me. Wen Yuan squeezed Yan Bing's hand, and even wanted to help her greet her in his face.

It was rare to see Yan Bing so fragile, her face was blue and trembling, Wen Yuan was really remorseful, and secretly hated that he was not thoughtful enough to lead the wolf into the house and make his wife feel wronged.

"No......" Yan Bing shrank her hand and shook her head slightly, sobbing, "I, I just don't want to stay here any longer." ”

"Let's go, let's go to the East Wing." Wen Yuan thought for a while, simply reached out and picked up Yan Bing horizontally, and walked outside, changing the environment must have allowed her to slow down and no longer be so frightened.

Fortunately, he had taken precautions before and ordered people to warm the house in advance and spread a brocade quilt, so that people could live in it, but it was just a lack of joy in the new house.

On an early winter night, the wind blows outside.

Yan Bing, who suddenly came to the courtyard, couldn't help but tremble again, and then Wen Yuan hugged her tighter with his strong arms, and murmured: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, it's okay, it's okay, it's okay, if you lose your horse, you don't know if it's a blessing." We will be able to live our lives well. ”

Immediately, he hated in his heart and said: When I turn around and arrest that person, he will definitely peel his skin and cramp, so that he will not have a good life!

Under the starry night, Yan Bing quietly listened to Wen Yuan's whispered soothing words, the white mist slowly exhaled from her thin lips, and the warm breath lingered in her ears, which was warm and crispy β–‘β–‘, encouraging people to calm down.

When she stepped into the east wing, she had gradually relaxed her limbs, and even gently buried her head in his chest, and then suddenly heard her husband's powerful "poof" rapid heartbeat, and she suddenly felt at ease.

What if there are villains? Yuanlang rushed to save himself, he was by his side, and he never left a step...... Later, we will surely be able to catch that man and punish him severely.

The only regret is that the once-in-a-lifetime wedding night was ruined, which is too regrettable.

Wen Yuan seemed to know what Yan Bing was thinking, and after placing his wife in the soft futon, he sat on the side, gently stroked her forehead with tenderness, and persuaded: "Think about it differently, let's talk about it, let's not round the house for your grandfather for thirty-six months, in fact, today is not the wedding night at all." ”

"Huh?" Yan Bing was stunned when she heard thisβ€”is this okay?

"That's right, it's not a wedding night!" Wen Yuan was not only comforting Yan Bing, but also seemed to be convincing himself, raised his hand to gently wipe away the tears on his wife's face, and cut the railway, "So it doesn't matter if we spend a night in the East Wing." When the real round house is real, choose an auspicious day to decorate, paste the happy word, light the candle, and spend a good night! ”

That's right, this is not a bad way, Yan Bing thought so, and then lowered her eyes slightly and replied in a low voice: "Hmm." ”

"Besides, it is not a matter of one day that you and I know each other and become husband and wife, and life is a long road, so what if the first night of the wedding is not comfortable? The days to come are still long, enough to get all kinds of good memories! Wen Yuan held Yan Bing's hands tightly as he spoke, rubbing them gently.

He stared at her softly with eyes like water, and said in a deep voice: "I swear, I will let you get the destiny and be happy and happy again, and promise you a lifetime of peace and worry, believe me, okay?" ”

Yan Bing heard this, pondered for a moment, and finally responded softly: "Okay." ”

Since her husband has made a commitment with the greatest sincerity, why should she cling to the faults of others and not let go of herself? It's okay to mess up overnight, it's really good to have a good life in the future.

"Then let's rest in peace." Wen Yuan called Yaxiang in the ear room diagonally opposite and asked her to fetch water to wash.

Subsequently, he personally helped Yan Bing remove her makeup and wipe her face, took off her coat and removed the hairpin ring bun, and her green hair fell smoothly. At this time, she was only wearing a big red embroidered baby play, her hair was directly on her smooth shoulders, red clothes, black hair, and white skin set off each other, and with moist cherry lips and a shy face, it looked as if it had been β–‘β–‘ charming.

"......" Wen Yuan's heart suddenly became hot, and he couldn't help but swallow his saliva silently, and then got up and went to the table under the pretext of twisting a handkerchief, and poured two sips of herbal tea that was as cold as snow water.

He really regretted why he had agreed to the thirty-six month agreement in the first place, and he could barely hold back the first night! However, the gentleman's words are difficult to follow, and the promise he made can only accept his fate on his knees.

When he returned to the wooden couch again, Wen Yuan simply handed over the handkerchief with a sideways face, and Nuo Nuo said, "Since, wipe it yourself." ”

"Well," seeing him like this, Zi Yanbing naturally realized, wrapped herself in the quilt and lay down after a hasty wash, and then blushed and said softly, "Yuanlang, I'm still a little scared, can you talk more with me?" ”

"Good, good!" Wen Yuan responded, and also laid another quilt and quickly lay down to chat.

After a while, he was bold enough to quietly lift a small corner from the side of the quilt, reached over and groped for his wife's fingers, and then snickered and began to tell her all kinds of stories in the yamen. The red candle swayed outside the veil, and the two of them talked softly and intimately inside, which was also a special taste.

And so he stayed awake all night until the sky was overcast.

Standing in the courtyard in the morning light, and seeing that the warm fragrance was not a big deal, Yan Bing finally walked out of the shadows of last night, planning to go to the kitchen to cook the first meal for Wen Yuan, and at the same time had to take one out, and after meeting her in-laws, she needed to serve General Duan and his wife to eat.

The hot and white, golden quicksand bag must be a good choice, and she immediately began to take care of the housework with the help of the cook.

At the same time, Wen Yuan took the time to go to the front hall to discuss with his brother about last night.

"I'm clueless, listen to it," Wen Heng spread his hands helplessly and began to tell what he knew, "I found Liu Zixu in the front yard last night, he was drunk and didn't wake up, so he lay under the banquet table for half a night, and he was sleeping soundly when he was found. Shake him up and ask about the details of the haunted room, saying that he had never entered the backyard, and had been chatting and drinking with Lin Kai, and he was so dizzy that he couldn't get up at all. ”

looked for Lin Kai again but found that others were nowhere to be found, and asked others again, some said they didn't know, and some said that he had gone home.

"I'll have to go to his house and ask when I'm free." After Wen Yuan finished speaking, he called the housekeeper Li Shan and asked him to shout at the servants and maids to look for clothes all over the yard, but he didn't say that it was a wedding dress, but only that a guest had lost his shirt.

He was even thinking that the person who ran in a hurry did not necessarily change his clothes before leaving, if the other party was wearing the groom's clothes and climbed over the wall, then the one he took off before must still be at home, and even if he was not familiar with a shirt, he could guess the general identity of the other party, and then look for it in the guest list, or he could deduce the truth.

After seven or eight subordinates carefully searched, there was finally a harvest, Wenyuan's scholar Zhulu ran over triumphantly, holding his clothes and said loudly: "Found it, found it!" It was stuffed in a large vase in the warm pavilion next door to the upper room. ”

Wen Yuan took it and saw that it was a half-old Toad Palace Folding Guituan pattern brocade jacket, which was thin and not too warm, and the inner lining was faintly creased.

"Scholars, and poor scholars with only one or two clothes." He pondered for a moment before making up his mind.

"This dress, I seem to see Brother Lin Kailin wearing it like this yesterday!" Wen Heng immediately shook his head after finishing speaking, and said in disbelief, "Impossible! He is still waiting to win the first prize in the scientific examination next year, how can he lose his heart and run crazy to steal things? If you are short of money, ask us to borrow it! Who's missing that star and a half? ”

"......" Wen Yuan was silently thinking: It's not stealing but picking flowers, he has seen Lin Kai's wife, and her figure is extremely enchanting and beautiful, and he can't take a big risk to play his friend's wife.

Just thinking about it, but seeing that Yan Bing had prepared a morning meal and let Yaxiang come with a food box, he immediately stopped all kinds of conjectures in his head, and said to Wen Heng: "Pad your stomach first, and you have to go to my adoptive father's house to see my relatives soon, and on the way back, you can go to Lin Kai for me to ask." ”

General Duan's residence was not far away, and the three of them hurried out after picking it up.

When the bride saw Aunt Weng, she was naturally shy and timid, and she was almost nervous when she saw the ceremony, but when she looked up again, she saw General Duan looking at her with a friendly smile, and in an instant she couldn't help but remember when she first arrived, or the person in front of her taught her how to salute correctly! I can't help but sigh in my heart - life in the world, as if there is a fixed number.

Yan Bing shook her head slightly, and suddenly heard Ah Weng instructing Wen Heng: "...... Be modest, don't empty yourself. ”

I couldn't help but stumble under my feet, and I almost slipped - but because I hadn't slept all night, my eyes were a little blue and swollen, why didn't I control it?!

"Okay, okay, you see that Ah Bing is so hungry that his feet are fluttering, and what do you say?" Mrs. Ye Jun also covered her lips and joked, and waved her hand to let people set the meal, "Hurry up and use the morning food, let me taste the dim sum you made." ”

"Ask Ah Jia not to dislike it." Yan Bing smiled, and set the table with her own hands to hold two cages of quicksand bags. The lightly sweet and fragrant milk buns are sandwiched with salty yellow egg yolks, which are naturally praised by everyone, although there is only one color, it can be regarded as the food made by Aunt Weng according to the rules of the bride.

After the meal, General Duan did not leave them to chat, but asked the two of them to go home to "rest", and suddenly Yan Bing's face was flushed.

When the carriage swayed home, Wen Yuan also borrowed his adoptive father's words and said with a light smile: "Well, let's rest when we go back, lady, let's put our hands together and sleep again?" "In these years, I can only take advantage of it a little.

It's a pity that even this little wish Wen Yuan didn't come true.

Because it didn't take long for Wen Heng to hurry over, he said a message with a dark face: "Brother Lin, he just went!" ”
