After traveling through time, she took her husband to be a food doctor

Chapter 14: On the wedding day, a happy event turns into a funeral

As autumn deepened, the ginkgo tree in front of the courtyard turned golden, which was particularly eye-catching under the blue sky. However, no one had time to appreciate it. Ding Xirui's wedding was approaching, and the pharmacy was also collecting medicinal materials. Master Ding was very busy, so this year's Double Ninth Festival, the Ding family did not return to Lan County to visit relatives like in previous years. Master Ding bought a lot of things and asked Liu Hua to take Xiao Wuer back. At the end of the month, it was Ding Xirui's birthday, and Ding's mother cooked a bowl of longevity noodles for her. This was Ding Xirui's last birthday as a boudoir girl at her mother's home.

"When you were born, your father's business was just starting to pick up, and he was extremely busy. But on the day you were born, your father still stayed at home for the whole day. Our family was not here at that time." Mother Ding looked at Ding Xirui, as if she was still a baby in her arms yesterday.

"Mom, tell me the story of you and my dad." Ding Xirui said coquettishly.

"Oh, so many years have passed." Ding's mother said embarrassedly.

"My daughter wants to hear it." Ding Xirui continued to act coquettishly.

"Actually, mom is very grateful to your dad." Mother Ding looked out the window, and her memory went back to more than 20 years ago.

"At that time, your father was a clerk at a herbal medicine store and he was very promising. The owner of the store wanted to marry his daughter to him, but your father didn't agree. My family grows medicinal herbs and your father collects them, and as time went by, we became familiar with each other. There was an epidemic that year and both your grandparents died. Your father rushed over from the city and found me lying alone in the house, so he carried me out. If it weren't for your father, your mother would have died." Mother Ding wiped away her tears.

"I didn't want to marry him because I thought he was getting too bad. I didn't even have a decent dowry. But he said that our fate was predestined and we couldn't deny it. After he said that many times, I finally married him." A blush passed across Ding's mother's face, as if she had returned to her teenage years.

"You are getting married soon now. Your father knows the young master of the Lin family. He is good-looking and has excellent character. He is worthy of my daughter. I only hope that you can be happy." Mother Ding stroked Ding Xirui's face.

"Mom, don't worry." Ding Xirui rested his head on his mother's legs.

On the fifth day of October, the man's family came to urge the bride to get married. After receiving the urging gift, Ding's mother arranged for everyone to go to the Lin family to prepare. If Ding Xirui was a pure bystander, she would treat the marriage as an interesting thing, but unfortunately she was the party involved and could not go and see.

On the sixth day of October, Ding Xirui was led by Banxia to bathe, dress up, put on a bright red wedding dress and a phoenix crown. The outfit was indeed gorgeous, but the bride herself was exhausted: the phoenix crown was very heavy and almost broke her neck; the clothes were also heavy, making it very inconvenient for her to walk and even more inconvenient to go to the toilet. She didn't even dare to drink more water. It was very painful.

On the other hand, Lin Mingxuan also had an easy time. He visited the ancestral hall and listened to admonitions. The bright red wedding dress made him feel very restrained. When the time came, he rode on horseback to welcome the bride, crossing the streets and being watched by passers-by. He did not feel proud, but felt a little uncomfortable.

There was the sound of music and noise, and Banxia rushed into the room:

"Miss, here I come, here I come."

When Ding Xirui heard this, his palms began to sweat.

Father and Mother Ding sat in the main hall and accepted Lin Mingxuan's gift.

Banxia covered Ding Xirui with a veil, walked to the main hall, and bid farewell to her parents.

"I have no other request. I only hope that you two can be of one mind and live in harmony." Father Ding choked up.

"Respect your parents, be considerate of each other, and live a good life." Ding's mother cried out.

Ding Xirui bowed deeply.

The matchmaker led her to the sedan chair. She couldn't bear to stay any longer. When she heard her mother crying, she couldn't help herself.

Amid the sound of firecrackers, the bridal sedan was getting farther and farther away from the Ding family, and Ding Xirui felt empty inside. He was about to arrive in an unfamiliar environment, what should he do?

"Just think of it as starting work in a new company. Today I'll get to know new colleagues and the various departments of the company." Ding Xirui comforted himself in the sedan.

The sedan stopped amidst the sound of a large number of firecrackers. Banxia and the matchmaker led Ding Xirui out of the sedan. He felt insecure with the veil on his head. He resisted the urge to lift the veil, imagining that he was just a puppet, doing whatever others told him to do.

After the wedding ceremony in the main hall, Ding Xirui was led into the bridal chamber by a group of people, where there were a lot of formalities between newlyweds to be performed.

After entering the room and sitting down, a weighing rod appeared in front of him and Ding Xirui moved back reflexively.

They were finally going to see each other's true faces, and her heart was in her throat.

"Madam, what's wrong with you?!" A scream suddenly came from the main hall.

"Grandma!" Lin Mingxuan put down the scale and ran out, and everyone in the Lin family followed him.

"Huh? Um, who will take care of me?" Ding Xirui was stunned.

"Miss, what should we do?" Banxia asked quietly beside her.

"Old lady!"

"mother!"

"grandmother!"

There was a cry.

"Banxia, ​​go and see what happened first."

"Yes." Banxia also ran out.

"Could it be that Mrs. Lin passed away?" Ding Xirui stood up.

After a while, Banxia came back panting: "Miss, it's bad, the old lady is gone."

"What?" Ding Xirui lifted the veil and looked out the window.

"Be calm and think about what to do." After thinking for a while, she said to Banxia:

"The old lady's affairs are more important. No one should be able to take care of us now. Banxia, ​​please help me take off the phoenix crown, wash my face, and change my clothes."

"Okay." Banxia said, turned around and closed the door and windows.

After changing into dark clothes, washing off her thick makeup, and putting her hair up, Ding Xirui was now dressed like an ordinary lady in the inner house. Banxia also took off her red decorations and returned to being an ordinary maid.

"Let's go out and take a look." Ding Xirui said.

When I pushed the door open, I saw a man in red walking into the yard.

"Miss, that's your brother-in-law." Banxia whispered from behind.

"Oh, OK." Ding Xirui pretended to be calm and went back to the house. She recognized him. He was the man who saved her on the day of the rainstorm. That day in the cave and on the path, Ding Xirui did not dare to look at him because of etiquette. She only glanced at him when they said goodbye. Fortunately, not much time had passed and she still remembered it. "This is really 'committing oneself to you'." Ding Xirui smiled helplessly but relievedly. How should she bring up this matter? Now seems not the right time. Ding Xirui was conflicted.

Lin Mingxuan saw a woman standing at the door from afar, and he knew it was his wife who had just been married. He felt a little guilty for letting her go through a funeral before the ceremony was over. The woman's face looked familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen her before.

After entering the house, Lin Mingxuan didn't know what to say. The other party didn't say anything either, and the air seemed to be still.

"Young Madam." The servant behind Lin Mingxuan saluted.

"I am Nanxing, the young master's attendant." The clever Nanxing broke the silence.

"Hello, hello." Ding Xirui said.

"Young Master needs to change his clothes, right? Let's go out and wait." Ding Xirui said as he pulled Banxia out and closed the door.

Nan Xing turned to look at Lin Mingxuan and said, "Master, why doesn't the young lady help you change your clothes?"

"Shut up, go find some dark clothes, and take off those colorful clothes. You're not as smart as that little girl." Lin Mingxuan said.

"Okay." Nanxing obeyed obediently.

Ding Xirui was waiting in the courtyard, and saw a group of people hurriedly removing things from the courtyard, taking down red silk and hanging up white cloth, taking down red lanterns and hanging up white lanterns. The red event turned into a sad one. The Lin family originally wanted to "bring good luck", but now, the new daughter-in-law came in and the old lady left, and everyone was upset.

The door opened, and Lin Mingxuan, dressed in casual clothes, walked in. In the night, their eyes met, and both of them said in their hearts:

"What a pair of clear eyes."

At this moment, Lin Mingxuan suddenly remembered, "It's her. It seems that Nanxing is right. We are indeed destined to be together." However, he was not going to point it out immediately. He didn't know whether the other party still remembered him, and now was not a good time.

He walked to Ding Xirui, who was a head taller than her. Ding Xirui took a step back, raised his head slightly and asked:

"What do we need to do?"

"We will go to the main hall together later. I will take you to meet my mother and sister-in-law first. You just follow them and do whatever your sister-in-law does." Lin Mingxuan replied.

"Okay." Ding Xirui said.

"Also, this yard is assigned to me..." Lin Mingxuan paused, pointed at each room, and continued, "Well, this is our yard, study, bedroom, storeroom, kitchen, bathroom, and over there is the toilet."

After listening to a bunch of "rooms", Ding Xirui couldn't help laughing:

"Yes, thank you."

"If you are hungry, there are snacks in the room. You can eat some first. It may not be available soon." Lin Mingxuan added.

"Okay. It's okay." Ding Xirui said.

"Then let's go." Lin Mingxuan led the way.

Ding Xirui followed behind, feeling grateful. The environment was unfamiliar, but the people in front of him were not unfamiliar. The death of the old lady of the Lin family happened suddenly, but Lin Mingxuan did not run away, nor did he ask others for help. Instead, he took into account the difficulties faced by newcomers and made reminders and arrangements.

"He should be a reliable person." Ding Xirui thought silently and quickened his pace.
