A good little husband

On August [-]th, the day of Mid-Autumn Festival reunion, it is appropriate to break ground and marry.

Suiyu accepted the bed, he lay on the bed in Lin Ping's house as if he would keep his eyes open until dawn, tomorrow was the day of his marriage, and he didn't feel the slightest joy in being driven out of the market.

He turned over, his eyes fell on the tightly closed window, he stood up after thinking for a while, opened the window, a bright moon hung high in the sky, and the cool mountain wind blew on his face , the moisture on the face was blown by the cool wind, and there were bursts of coolness.

I don't know if my father and elder brother got together, and I don't know if the moon in Nianzhou is so round.

He stood by the window until the first ray of light appeared on the horizon, and then he returned to the bed and closed his eyes, sleeping until the afternoon.Weddings in Yunnan are all evening ceremonies, and formal ceremonies are all at dusk, so Suiyu can sleep a little longer.

Lin Ping didn't stay at home after he came here, but went to his brother's house. After Lin Ama called Suiyu, he went out again. When he came in again, there were a few more people in the room. It was the aunts and Ah who made the wedding dress for him before.

Brothers don’t need to wear heavy makeup to get married, but they still need to open their faces. Now put a thin layer of powder on the face, and then use a thin twine to flick the face gently to wring out the tiny fluff.

Lin Ama looked closely at Suiyu's face. They all knew that Lin Ping brought back a brother from the mountain, and they also heard that this brother was very good-looking. Today, after taking a closer look, they realized that there is really someone who can grow into an opera The look mentioned in the book, "Furong is not as good as beauty makeup, and the wind in the water palace brings the fragrance of pearls and emeralds."①

His eyes were full of water because of the pain of opening his face, and the powder on his face became a burden on his face, making his already fair face a little pale. Lin Ama hurriedly gave him a clean cloth towel Wipe off all the remaining powder on his face, any trace of craftsmanship would look vulgar on his face, just such a white face can already make people fascinated.

The wedding dress for the big wedding is a bit complicated. Suiyu didn't have such an intuitive feeling when she saw the wedding dress at the time, but now when she actually puts it on, she realizes how complicated it is. After wearing it, Suiyu broke out in a sweat.

"The one who braids hair the best in the village is Chunniang, but today she has to be in charge there, so I'll braid your hair." Lin Ahma picked up a wooden comb, and slowly brushed against Suiyu's scalp. Comb down, "As for me, this life can be considered to be peaceful and smooth, and I hope to give you my peace and smoothness."

After combing to the end, raising the case and raising eyebrows.

"Muqing is a good boy. Don't look at him as a fool who doesn't care about Siliu, but he is actually very responsible."

Two combs to the tail, fly together.

"This will be your home from now on, and you will often go around the village in the future."

Comb three times to the end, and wear together forever.

After combing it three times, Ah Lin started to braid his hair. The hair bun for his brother’s marriage would not be very complicated. After Lin Ah finished braiding the bun, he inserted a mahogany hairpin on his head, and he was stunned. I was taken aback.

Amo Lin seemed to have seen his doubts, and said: "Muqing gave this to me yesterday, and he should have made it himself. Here, married girls must have a hairpin from their husband's family. The conditions are good. A jade hairpin is almost a silver hairpin, and a wooden hairpin is a little bit more; when you marry a husband, you need a wooden hairpin from your husband’s family, and peach wood is the best, which can ward off evil spirits and pray for peace.”

The bronze mirror was blurry, Suiyu couldn't see his own face in the mirror, only knew that he was all red, and couldn't see his expression clearly, he didn't know what expression he should make to face this wedding that shouldn't have happened in the first place .

Suiyu was making intensive preparations, Lin Muqing was not idle, and Chunniang was so busy that even Lin Hua was out of breath.

Everyone in the village came to Lin Muqing's wedding, except for a small group who helped Lin Ping's house, all the people gathered here.

Both Lin Ping and Xiang Zhi were helping to entertain people, and the other Zhou Yi was in the back kitchen, helping the chef from the village next door.

The joy on Lin Muqing's face could not be concealed, it was rare for him to dress neatly and neatly, and the red wedding dress looked radiant on him, if one ignores his messy beard, It can barely be regarded as Feng Yi and handsome.

"Is it the time, should I pick him up?" Lin Muqing looked at the slowly setting sun, a little absent-minded.

"It's still early, and it's the end of Shenshi. We can go at least in the middle of Youshi." Lin Ping looked at the guests seated and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"It's only the end of Shen Shi?" Lin Muqing sighed, he couldn't wait to see Suiyu in bright red.

Seeing that he no longer needed his help here, Lin Hua sneaked to Suiyu's side.

There are already a lot of people gathered here, most of them are young husbands and daughters-in-law, and some children who want to see their new husbands. After Lin Hua ran over, he was caught by Ama Lin and asked him to hold a wedding candy The wedding cake went to entertain the guests, Lin Hua originally wanted to come and talk to Yu, but in the end he could only accept his fate and entertain those guests again.

"I took a look at it from a distance, and it looks really good." Yunxiu, the daughter-in-law of Qian Ahma's family, grabbed a handful of melon seeds and ate them slowly, "I would choose him too, so that's it. Looking at my face, I can eat two more bowls of rice."

"You can't eat any more." Rong Yang is the husband who just married into the village this year. He covered his mouth and laughed, "If you eat more money, brother will not be able to hug you."

"You're looking for a fight, aren't you?" Yunxiu has a plump body and a chubby face, which makes people want to pinch her when she sees it.

"Sister-in-law, do you think you will be mad when Lin Wanxia comes back and finds out that Brother Qing has married someone else? I really want to see his expression." Li likes to listen to his sister-in-law chatting with other daughter-in-laws in the village.

"Then who knows." Yunxiu rubbed her younger brother's head, "Why, you don't like Brother Qing anymore?"

"I've met Brother Qing's new husband, and I'm quite self-aware." Qian Yu touched his nose, and there were some freckles on both sides of his nose.

All their conversation was overheard by a child on one side. He approached them quietly and left quietly. There is no trace of joy, but a light full of resentment.

"Brother Xiaoqiu, what are you doing here? Why don't you go eat candy?" Lin Hua saw Lin Wanqiu standing here, and happily took his arm.

"I want to take a sneak peek at Brother Qing's husband, you haven't come out to play recently." Lin Wanqiu immediately changed her expression, and smiled intimately while pulling Lin Hua.

"I recently learned to write from my sister-in-law. When they finish their marriage, you can come and learn together." Lin Hua took him to the front hall and stuffed him with a lot of wedding cakes.

Lin Wanqiu gritted her teeth and scolded Lin Hua in her heart. When his brother was at home, Lin Hua never called his brother sister-in-law. His brother also taught them how to read, and Lin Hua never saw him sincerely thanking his brother.

While he was in a daze, he heard the voice coming from his side, it was the welcoming team coming.

Lin Muqing was at the front riding a horse, and Lin Ping and Xiang Zhi behind him were also riding horses. Because the distance between the two families was not too far, Lin Muqing didn't prepare a sedan chair, and planned to ride directly after receiving Suiyu. Take him home on horseback.

Although the people here are not very familiar with Suiyu, they are familiar with Lin Muqing. When they saw the people who came to welcome their relatives, they all spontaneously blocked Suiyu's door.

Suiyu still remembers that when his elder brother and Brother Yu got married, he was still young, and he was not able to witness the grand occasion of the wedding with his own eyes, but later he heard from Brother Yu that his younger brother almost broke his elder brother's arm, causing Brother Yu to Laughed the rest of the wedding.

Suiyu is now thinking about what his wedding will be like.

Lin Hua stood beside him and squeezed his hand: "Sister-in-law, are you nervous?"

Suiyu's head was not covered with red silk like an ordinary bride, so he could clearly see what happened in front of him. He glanced at Lin Hua and had to admit that there was a familiar person at the moment. around, is still very good.

He shook his head. Without anticipation, he would not be nervous.

There was another burst of noise outside the door. It should be the commotion when they blocked the door. Suiyu thought that he would not come in so soon. He saw that Lin Hua wanted to go out to join in the fun, so he patted Lin Hua's hand: "Go play."

Lin Hua didn't move, and said softly, "Brother Qing asked me to stay with you."

Suiyu didn't speak any more.He thought it would be a long time before they could come in, but as soon as Lin Hua finished speaking, Lin Muqing had already appeared in front of him.

Suiyu looked at him, his clothes were neatly dressed, but his hair was still messed up, his beard hadn't been shaved, he looked like a savage from the deep mountains, only his sharp eyes were shining, Suiyu looked at him. He moved his eyes away at a glance, but his heart beat a little faster.

"I'm here to pick you up."

Lin Muqing looked at Suiyu who was sitting on the bed. There was no makeup on her face, just a little lip balm, because Suiyu's lips were a little pale, and her whole face was only the size of a palm. After arriving at him, he quickly lowered his head as if shy.He was wearing the same wedding dress as himself, and the bright red made his complexion whiter, like a red plum in the snow.

People from outside rushed in, barely breaking the door of Lin Ping's house.

Lin Muqing didn't say anything else, just picked up Suiyu from the bed and walked out.

He was too tall, Suiyu could only hug Lin Muqing's neck helplessly when he was hugged, a scent of fragrance floated between Lin Muqing's nostrils during his movements, his arms holding Suiyu tightened, and his steps were a little faster.Then he thought of something again, freed up another hand, and pressed Suiyu's head into his embrace.

"Brother Qing is so stingy, he doesn't even want us to see how little sister-in-law looks like."

"Brother Qing is in a hurry, the sun is setting, so we have to rush into the bridal chamber."

"Oh, why don't you hurry up and get out of the way, let Brother Qing take the little sister-in-law back quickly."

They walked all the way, Suiyu listened to the dirty words all the way, his whole face was buried in Lin Muqing's chest, he could feel his throbbing heartbeat, and the smell of Lin Muqing rushing towards his face.

He felt his face was hot, his palms were hot, and his heart was beating fast.

The last time Suiyu sat behind Lin Muqing when he was riding a horse, but today, he was held in Lin Muqing's arms.The sun has set, leaving only the clouds in the sky.

"I'm back, I'm back." Aunt Li held Chun Niang's hand, and quickly straightened her clothes, "Today I'm going to be a mother-in-law."

"Hey, yes." Chun Niang also had tears in her eyes, "Today is a great day, so don't cry."

Suiyu was dismounted by Lin Muqing, but she still had no intention of letting him go. Suiyu remembered what he said at the beginning that he would not let his feet touch the ground on the day of marriage.

Chun Niang was also wearing bright red and festive clothes, and she was sitting on the main seat at the moment, waiting for her son and son-in-law to come to pay respects.

The person singing saw Lin Muqing enter the main room with Suiyu in his arms, and he yelled loudly: "The day is good and the time is good, the heaven and the earth will open, the heaven and the earth will be matched, good luck and prosperity, a pair made in heaven, rich and noble, a pair made in earth, auspicious and prosperous ”②

Chunniang still couldn't hold back her tears, so she took a handkerchief and began to wipe her tears.

"Worship heaven and earth!"

Lin Muqing supported Suiyu's shoulder and bowed to the east.

"Two thanks to the high hall!"

Lin Muqing supported Suiyu again, and bowed to Chun Niang who was sitting in the high hall, but after the worship, Lin Muqing signaled the singer to stop, and pulled Suiyu to bow in the direction of Nianzhou.

Suiyu's eyes turned red immediately.

"Bye husband and wife!"

The last obeisance was regarded as a ceremony, Lin Muqing's waist was bent very low, and Suiyu's careless movements formed a sharp contrast, Suiyu was sent to Lin Muqing's territory amidst the applause of the whole hall.

It can be seen that it has been tidied up well, not at all like Lin Muqing's usual image, the wardrobe and chest of drawers are all newly made, and there are some scratches on it that are not very finely crafted, he looks like he broke into a wolf's den The cubs only feel that there is danger everywhere.
