Awakening of Insects Three Huaixiu Niang

This year Jingzhe is the third year since Xiuniang left, and the yearning for her has only continued unabated. Inadvertently, this is the third letter of missing her. It is for Sanhuai.

Maybe it's good, I don't know which family she is in now, how the family is, I always want to see her, but my legs are stuck in the mud, and I can't move.

I deserve that guilt, and I deserve to live the rest of my life in repentance.

One summer day a few years ago, I came out of my other courtyard and turned to the main hall. I wanted to talk to my father about something, but I glanced left and right. When I walked into the house, I saw guests sitting inside.All looked at me with embarrassment.

Xiu Niang sat in the next seat, Dad's expression changed a few times, the man next to him smiled modestly and didn't mind my rudeness.

Lazily shaking the white feather fan, naked in the green forest.Take off the towel and hang it on the stone wall, and sprinkle the wind on the top.The great poets of the previous dynasty were still so at ease, but I have imitated this carefree appearance in my own home, bare chested and barefoot.She was still a little ashamed, but she just opened the skirt and covered her body loosely, her chest, waist and legs were still well covered.Xiu Niang suddenly laughed softly, and I immediately blushed, and took advantage of the fact that there were guests, so I left first.

Back in the other courtyard, I leaned against the porch and sat down. I rolled up my trouser legs to my knees, stretched my feet out of the shadow of the eaves, and leaned out into the scorching sun.Water poured down from the grooves in the eaves, forming a curtain of water, which fell on the calf, which was very cool.

There was the sound of water flowing under the wooden floor, and the water falling from the eaves flowed into the ground along the ditch, and then ran far away to the water wheel, and sent it to the roof, creating a new round of water curtains.Falling on the ground, there is an indescribable comfort, as if I have really entered the deep mountains and old forests to enjoy the cool air.

A light blue shadow appeared in front of his eyes, and he tilted his head again to see her clearly.The light blue silk skirt, Xiaojiabiyu's appearance, looks like a southerner.She is much more pleasing to the eye than those crooked rich bumpkins before, and she should be a well-educated, reasonable, well-behaved lady.

Her voice and the voice of the water curtain seemed to melt together, and there was a harmony. She said: My surname is Chen. When I was born, my mother was on the boat.I thought I was here to propose marriage to my brother who only knows how to have fun, so I sat up and ignored her.

My family is a big businessman in the capital, and there are always two or three people who want to get married every month, and they even want to see me.

Xiu Niang didn't look out at all, she took up her dress and sat next to me, she tilted her head and smiled, her eyes flickered: "What about you, what's your name?"

I took my foot back, moved to the side away from her, and leaned on the pillar: Zou Wen.Xiu Niang laughed again: You are named Wen Zou Zou, but you are a free person.While she was talking, she moved towards me again.

It's been a long time since no one talked to me like this. Xiuniang was the one talking all afternoon, and I just nodded from time to time and responded with a few words to show that I was listening.When Dad came over, I stuck to the pillar, and Xiu Niang leaned on my shoulder.

A few days later, Xiu Niang came again.Out of politeness, I had to chat with her all afternoon.Only then did I learn that she was from Jiangnan, her family was also in business, and she had only settled in the capital two years ago.No wonder her tone is always long and tactful. Upon closer inspection, she is indeed a person who can satisfy the northerners' imagination of a southern beauty. She is petite, slender, with plump cheeks, always smiling, with a soft voice, holding a Tuan Fan, standing quietly in front of the water curtain, as if walking out of a painting.

This intermittent meeting lasted until the twelfth lunar month. The snow piled up on the wall and bent the plum branches in the yard. The backyard was connected to a small horse farm. It was just right for three or two friends to come and play horses. I raised two horses, but I don't have any friends.After getting acquainted, he took Xiuniang to teach her how to ride a horse. This day, it was so cold that even the horse didn't want to come out.

During the days when Xiuniang was not here, she was bored by herself, but she missed her a little.I haven't been out of the house for a long time, and I suddenly miss the streets and alleys outside.

Wearing a fox fur cloak, I took a paper umbrella and was about to go out, but my father stopped me. There was something in his eyes. If I didn’t say anything, I didn’t bother to ask. Just go out.

Lanyue Tower is a colorful place, luxurious and rich, arty people like to go there, as long as they can afford it, the visitors are always the guests.I didn't listen to my father's instructions, so I closed my umbrella and went to welcome Mama Liu, who is the owner of Lanyue Tower.When Ms. Liu saw me, she joked that I had been locked up in a small black room by my father for more than two years. I smiled and didn’t argue.

The first card is called Liu Yan'er, she was picked up by Liu's mother and raised with one hand, she has learned a good pipa and has a good voice.A few months older than me, I have to call her sister.I asked Mother Liu and knew that Liu Yan'er was still there, so I entered the house and went up the stairs with ease. A carriage came slowly at the corner of the street and saw all of this, and it also stopped in front of Lanyue Tower.

I don't know, I just want to catch up with Liu Yan'er, it's hard to get a piece of pipa from her, and she doesn't take a penny from me, it's hard to know myself, she said so, and Mother Liu agreed.

After ordering some food and wine, the two of them sat on one side eating and chatting, and I realized that Chen Shuixiu didn't come to propose marriage to her brother, no wonder she always said that she had never seen him when I asked her.She came to propose marriage to me, and everyone in the streets and alleys knew about it, but after several months, I finally realized why Xiuniang would come to my house every few days to see her.

Dad only said that it is better to make more friends and move around more.

This is an incomprehensible thing, because it is too bizarre, and everyone wants to know the reason. Although my brother is playful and has a naive personality, he is also dignified, and he has a temperament when he is serious. I imagined it , he and Xiu Niang stood together, but it was also a sight, a bit like a golden boy and a jade girl.

Liu Yan'er saw that I didn't know about this matter, and was quite surprised, so she immediately put down the bowl and chopsticks and persuaded me to go back.

It's a rare time to come here. I didn't hear my sister's music, and it was really sad to be driven away.

Liu Yan'er said that I must not have permission from my family to come here, so I couldn't help but push me out of the door, saying that we would meet again next time.As soon as the door opened, Xiu Niang stood outside wearing a red robe, with a little mist on her brows and eyes, as if the snow had melted there.The servant next to her couldn't stop apologizing to Liu Yan'er, saying that she couldn't stop her.

Thinking of what Liu Yan'er said just now, I feel a little confused, what is this?The husband was caught by his wife when he went shopping in a brothel?It's not right to apply it to me, besides, Liu Yan'er is really just a good sister who is caring and caring.She was still speaking for me, urging me and Xiuniang to go back first.

The servant let Liu Yan'er be sent away, Xiu Niang didn't say anything, neither did I, the atmosphere was a bit stiff for a while, Liu Yan'er sighed and leaned against the door, deciding not to get involved in this matter.I know that Xiuniang doesn't speak harsh words. She is used to speaking softly, and she won't speak loudly when she loses her temper. ignore people.

But her eyes could speak, and she was asking me why I was here.Isn't my story spread all over the streets and alleys? I love to come to Lanyuelou, Yingyingyanyan. It's rare to come out. Why can't I come here.

The unreasonable irritability is half dissatisfied with my father's concealment from me, and half dissatisfied with Xiuniang's questioning of me.How can I be questioned? Am I not a comfortable person?Without thinking about my words, I blurted out: When you come to propose marriage, you should know what kind of person I am, I will not abide by any morals and ethics, just care about my own life, and rarely go out for shopping, so I am not satisfied , what more dear?

Liu Yan'er stood aside in shock.

Xiu Niang didn't answer, she glanced at me, turned around and left.That glance seemed a little aggrieved.I don't understand what wronged her.Sit down calmly and think about it, what I said was not only hard to hear, but also illogical, and no one would be happy to hear it, not to mention that Xiuniang made me choke before she spoke.

I was too much, but I don't want to apologize.Although the words are not pleasant to listen to, every sentence is from the heart, and it is true that there is no expectation for this kind of absurd marriage.Ever since he was caught by his father to sleep with the woman from Lanyuelou, was beaten severely, and locked up in confinement for several months, he couldn't think about love anymore.He couldn't get my thoughts back, so he had to give up and let me out again.

What the old people said is still true, the traditional is always good, no trouble, everyone is happy.If the aliens in the middle do not succumb to the tradition and the so-called righteous way, they will die and live in the world.

Xiu Niang's appearance was indeed unexpected.After two glasses of wine, I didn't feel any taste. I took out the newly composed piece and handed it to Liu Yan'er, and left Lanyue Tower.

In the past few days, I ran to Lanyue Tower every day, and I didn't even return all night.My father couldn't control it, so he had to turn a blind eye and close one eye. He used this as an excuse to tell me about the Chen family's marriage proposal. On the one hand, it was difficult for him to accept that I should marry a wife; It's still up to me to decide.He asked me to think about it.

On the seventh day, the snow stopped, and the fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month was also the first day of the Chinese New Year.I carried a bag of pastries and stood in front of the Chen family's house.This pastry is the most famous in the capital, and its craftsmanship has been passed down from the northern and southern circles. Xiuniang likes to eat sweet pastries, so I only bought sweet ones.

The master of the Chen family suddenly opened the door and came out. It was the first time he saw the man in Xia Tian.Hearing that I came to see Xiu Niang, he hurriedly invited me in, saying that she was sick and had been lying in bed for four or five days.

I was startled, although the meeting that day was not very pleasant, but Xiu Niang was well, so she fell ill after a few days of not seeing each other.The Chen family's house has criss-cross paths and is arranged like the gardens in the south. I followed the servants around the house and saw Xiu Niang by a rockery pond. She was still wearing a red robe, and she heard footsteps turning her head. Come, and then slowly walked back to the house with small steps.That servant resigned, leaving me alone in front of Xiuniang's door.

There is a charcoal fire burning in the house, and there is a faint smell of incense.Xiu Niang sat at the table silently, suddenly she coughed, her pale face became rosy, and even her eye sockets were also red.

I hurriedly put down the paper bag in my hand, followed her back, and helped her back to sit under the quilt.Touching the mattress with her hands, there was still warmth, probably because she had just gotten out not long ago.

After recovering, Xiu Niang didn't look at me, she just asked in a low voice: "What are you doing here?"It's like an old friend's question, I don't know where to start to answer, I should just take a look, after all, I said something wrong and left her in anger.I said, "I'm here to apologize. I just got used to it and offended you. I bought you sweet osmanthus cake."Opening the paper bag, there were three cakes inside, spread out in front of Xiu Niang.

The tip of Xiuniang's nose was red, and she said two or three words of me in succession without any further words.I just mentioned the marriage proposal, and Xiuniang was surprised that I didn't know about it before.

When men love to visit brothels, they call it a romantic affair. When women go there, they either prostitute or catch adultery.Everyone in the world thinks so, and they look down on it while seeking pleasure.If Xiuniang wants to marry into the Zou family, then I should be on the husband's side. Although I am not married, it seems that I have been caught by chance.If a man with a marriage contract comes to find Xiaoyao, he will be pointed at behind his back, let alone me, two or three crimes that don't matter to me, I can think about it, but Xiu Niang can't , she is still an ordinary daughter of a rich family waiting to be married, so naturally she can't see the other party's promiscuous behavior.

It was with my father's help that the Chen family brought their business to the capital. After they stabilized, they wanted to thank them, so they married their youngest daughter to the Zou family. Even if they had a relative, they could be regarded as having relatives and friends in the capital.However, Xiuniang once fell ill, making her infertile, and when she talked about it, her tears rolled down her cheeks.Unable to have children, she can only be a child in any family she marries into. With such a large property, the Chen family naturally does not want her daughter to be wronged and excluded.My father naturally didn't want her to marry my elder brother, incense is always important.

After thinking about it, the two families pushed Xiuniang to my side. Although I have strange hobbies, women don't know how to have three wives and four concubines, and they don't have to have children. There is no one to take care of me, so I and Xiuniang are fulfilled, and both families are very happy.

If others don't want it, give it to me.I thought so, and felt extremely uncomfortable.The conversations in the past few months, horseback riding, flower viewing, and tea drinking seemed to be arranged little by little.

It's not that I have to like this person, what I love more is the soft and soft jade of a woman.When I got up to leave, Xiu Niang grabbed my sleeve.

…stay with me for a while, will you, she said, almost begging.I moved the stool, and I sat next to it, speechless for a while.Xiu Niang looked sad, not knowing what she was thinking.I asked her, did you just agree?

Xiu Niang nodded, two more tears fell from the eyes that had just cried, and I would not do anything to her, crying as if she had been wronged so much, her heart was even more uncomfortable, and her face turned dark.Seeing that I was unhappy, Xiuniang hurriedly wiped away the tears on her face, shook her head and explained, "Before I met you, I was very scared, and Daddy's kiss didn't dare to refuse. Now I... I'm slowly getting used to it, It won't bother you... no.

After a pause, she said again: Although it was a deviant decision because of the family business, you... treat people so well, so why can't I accept it.

I used to think that Xiuniang would call me elder sister or younger sister, but never, when she spoke to me, she always used the word you.I think it's because I'm struggling in my heart, I don't know how to address you, but your words seem kind and calm.I was suddenly a little happy. My brother had a childhood sweetheart who was slightly older than me. He was a very cheerful and straightforward person. When he grew up, ever since my brother said he wanted to marry her, he suddenly became extremely ashamed and showed the attitude of a little daughter. .At this time, Xiuniang looked like her elder brother's shy childhood sweetheart.

Someone knocked on the door, and then an old servant's voice sounded, it's time to drink medicine.I went to open the door, the old servant smiled when he saw me, bowed his head and bowed in salute, took a low table and put it on the bed, put the soup and osmanthus cake on the table, and there was still water in the other small bowl. There are two sugar pills.

Xiu Niang took a sip, put down the bowl, her face was wrinkled together, and the old servant took the sugar pill to persuade her to drink the medicine.How old is he, he even coaxes him to drink medicine.When I smiled, Xiuniang turned her head and gave me a stare, maybe she was sick, that stare was really powerless, more like a glance, so I accepted the stare with a smile.She turned her face away again, facing the wall and drinking the medicine slowly.

The old servant also turned to look at me, and said: The girl looks exactly like the painting hanging in the lady's study, handsome and considerate, the lady has found a good husband, but it's a pity...

Before she finished speaking, she was interrupted by Xiu Niang, who exclaimed: Grandma Chen!

It's a pity that he is not a man.That grandma Chen knew that she had said something bad, so she apologized to me and stood aside smiling.I asked: Do you know how to draw?

Xiu Niang is as slender as a willow, and the willow branches hang down to the water, creating circles of ripples.I can't think of what she will do, she doesn't look like she can hold a needle and thread, and she doesn't look like she can chat and gossip with old mothers and maids. I remembered that when I was teaching her to ride a horse, I touched her hand and pointed to her right hand. Cocoons are born on the top, although it is soft, it can be seen that the brush is often used.She nodded gently: she learned painting since she was a child, and she only knows how to draw fine brushwork.

Meticulous painting is very particular, it is different from freehand brushwork which is reckless and ingenious, and meticulous painting requires more care and patience.I took two steps forward, stood next to the bed, and asked: Then what do you draw me for?The back of Xiuniang's half of her head was facing me, her ears were sticking out, and she suddenly turned red.

She didn't speak, just sat there with her head down, and didn't even drink the medicine.I picked up a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake and put it in her hand, and said, "I'm leaving first."

Xiuniang still didn't raise her head, her ears were still red, I couldn't help touching them, they were quite hot.She trembled suddenly, and raised her hand to cover the ear.

After I went back, I didn't go to Lanyue Tower again, and Liu Yan'er just sent someone to tell me that the song was finished, and let me go there when I had time.Tong Xiuniang hadn't seen each other for more than ten days, and after talking about it, some knots in my heart were untied. Maybe the relationship between the two is not bad. If they can be relatives and friends, there is nothing for others to see. So embarrassing.

I take Xiuniang's painting as her showing favor to me, and I also think that I am the shield of Xiuniang's hidden illness, and it is quite comfortable to be a flower protector for a beautiful woman.

After watching the New Year's Eve, I went back to the house early to sleep when the time came. I didn't pay attention to what was going on in my yard. Some red lanterns, red curtains, and firecrackers were also set off, all of which are common during the New Year. custom, I have no interest in participating.

When it was almost dinner time, I was dragged out of bed, dressed in a daze, and arranged hair accessories.Turning to the bronze mirror, his eyes were red, and he woke up in shock, holding his sleeve robe and boots, looking around, suddenly he was dressed as a bridegroom official.

My mother was looking around in the room. The calligraphy and painting scrolls on my desk were all put away on the bookshelf, and they were replaced by brand new red candles. The original white bed curtains were also replaced with red gauze curtains, and the bedding and pillows on the bed were also completely new.Mother said on the other side: It was agreed to get married in the second year of junior high school. I thought you came back to dress up. When I saw that the dress and everything were still in the same place, I knew you forgot!

I was at a loss, and I really couldn't remember when someone told me that I was going to get married.My mother was still nagging on the other end, saying that I didn't take this matter to heart at all. If it wasn't for Xiu Niang's inability to give birth, she should be my sister-in-law. When will I marry such a sensible daughter-in-law? They forced me to marry, but in the end I didn't even take the initiative to marry a wife.

I frowned when I heard this, and I asked: You can endure this strange thing for the sake of your family business, and you don't ask Xiuniang if she is willing.Mother came over and slapped me on the back, which made me hurt. She looked like she hated iron but steel: don't worry about it, isn't she willing to come to see you every day? Also, you Dad returned the liquor store to you, and all the accounts that you have kept at home for the past few years will be returned to you. Tomorrow's wedding will be moved from you.Niang sat on the bench next to her and sighed: Well, just treat it as if I raised another child.

Be nicer to her, Xiuniang, don't go out to fool around like before, to be honest, you have a home, the wine shop returns you, and you buy the property, so it's hard for other people to gossip, after all, you don't Like your brother, he is a boy, if he has a good life today, he cannot always be good tomorrow.While talking, my mother covered her face and began to cry.

I didn't know what to do for a while, my parents were destined, and I had to listen if I didn't listen, saying that I was marrying in, crying like I was marrying a daughter.I was trying to comfort my mother, but she pushed the door away: Go find your father and brother, they will tell you about tomorrow's arrangements, I will tell them in the evening, just play around in the bridal chamber, don't disturb you, Lest both of them are shy and can't do anything.

After my mother finished speaking, she saw that both of my feet were outside the threshold, she slammed the door shut, and continued to arrange the room with the servants inside.I'm afraid I won't be able to go back to my room at night.

Mother thinks so much.

The next day, Xiu Niang covered her head with a big red hijab. After three prostrations, she drank wine and sang happy songs, and the whole set of etiquette was not lost at all.The scene was even bigger than the wedding banquet for the son of the member next door, and all the wine I brought in was century-old wine collected by my wine shop and hidden for several years.

I love wine, and I can drink it, and I still have half of my sanity after drinking a group of bridal chamber lovers.Tired of making noise during the day, the night was much quieter. Suddenly, it snowed again, and it was cold on the face. The big red lantern was hanging at the door of the room, and the candles were burning brightly.

I sat down, took off my hat, and threw it aside, with half a jug of wine in my hand.Xiu Niang sat motionless on the edge of the bed, the red silk in her hand was twisted together with her hands and placed in front of her body, the red hijab was still on her head.I told her to take off the hijab and no one else.Xiu Niang didn't move.I sat next to her, and just touched the edge of the red hijab with my hand, she tilted her body to avoid it, and after a while, I moved back, sitting upright, the red scarf was tightly held by her, and my hand Still trembling slightly.

When Xiu Niang's face suddenly appeared, my heart really moved.She doesn't wear much makeup on weekdays, she looks cold and calm, but now she has drunk two or two drinks, her reddish face is covered by makeup, her eyes are floating everywhere, her red lips are tightly closed, very seductive people.

I thought it was funny and asked her: Why are you so nervous, I don't eat people.After all, she lowered her head and said nothing.

After such a tossing day, no servant would bring hot water to wash up.When I came over with hot water and put it in front of the bed, Xiuniang hugged her knees and hid on the bed.

He dragged her out of bed, washed her, and coaxed her to soak her feet.I suddenly felt that Xiuniang was the one who was drunk, and she needed to be coaxed in everything.

After tidying up and getting into the quilt, Xiu Niang shrank inside and patted her shoulder through the quilt to let her have a good rest, then I turned sideways and closed my eyes.

While staring in a daze, a trembling hand touched my waist, which woke me up suddenly. I opened my eyes and turned to see Xiu Niang leaning over her back with cautious eyes.

Didn't they enter the bridal chamber? Xiuniang's voice was as thin as a mosquito's.It turned out that she had been nervous all night because she was afraid of this.

I took away her hand on my waist, turned sideways and closed my eyes again, I was really sleepy, and I said: Isn't this already in the bridal chamber, what are you doing if you don't sleep.

There was silence behind me for a while, and suddenly Xiuniang's heartbeat was clearly audible in my ears like a drum beating, her hand touched my waist again, and hugged me tightly from behind.

I naturally understand what it means, and it is impossible to just go to sleep directly in such a vague way.On the night of weddings and candles in the bridal chamber, who can not be moved.I turned around and pressed down on Xiuniang, the red on her lips could not be washed off, the bright red stuck to her lips, sparkling in her eyes, hiding fear and panic, I touched her face: Are you here? I'm afraid, I didn't force you, and you don't force yourself, getting married is just a false name, you don't have to do everything.After all, I want to turn over and get down.

I wasn't afraid, Xiu Niang grabbed my skirt and wouldn't let me move.I was pulled closer by her, and the breath I exhaled ran to her face, and then came back and got into my nose, with a strong smell of alcohol.She closed her eyes and kissed me on the face.

The warm and soft lips fell on the face, feeling very comfortable.I let go of the strength to support my body, and the weight of my whole body fell on Xiuniang. With one hand, I grabbed the hand that grabbed my skirt, and kept pinching her chin, facing me.

Xiu Niang was almost out of breath, she was still holding her breath, her eyes flickered, like testing and anticipation.When I kissed her on the lips, Xiuniang closed her eyes and was just quiet.She stuck out the tip of her tongue and licked her lips, maybe it was the red smell, very sweet.Xiu Niang suddenly opened her eyes, trembling all over, opened her mouth and took a few deep breaths, her other hand was already loose on my skirt.

I went back to the outside of the bed and said: Go to sleep.Xiuniang grabbed my sleeve, her strength had softened, and she broke free with a light struggle.

There was pleading in Xiuniang's voice: ...do you not want me?

At that time, I didn't understand why Xiu Niang was so obsessed with wedding candles, but now I fully understand.She was afraid that I would leave her, and if there was anything that could make her feel like she belonged to me, it was to make her belong to me.

Yet I left her behind.

I replied: How can I not want you.Xiuniang is different from those sisters in Lanyue Tower. The sisters only care about their wealth and indulgence. It is better if the guest officials have good looks or have a chivalrous temperament, and they can have more fun.Lanyue Tower is this kind of place, it only cares about having fun for a while, the sisters are like this, the guests are like this, and so am I.Xiu Niang is not someone who only wants to be happy for a while, she is simple, she is rational, and she is the daughter of a wealthy family.I can't use all the jokes and tricks I used on those sisters in Lanyuelou to face Xiuniang.

If Xiuniang is unwilling, if she is afraid, I can't even look down from her face.She is afraid, I dare not want her.

Listening to my explanation, Xiu Niang kept shaking her head, her eyes were clouded with water vapor, she opened her underwear, exposing her tiny collarbones and shoulders, and moved closer to me.

I straightened her clothes, got out of bed and brought the half jar of wine, and asked her: Have a drink together?I don't want Xiuniang to be so terrified. If she doesn't calm down, she may live in a muddle in the future. Things must be figured out before life can be comfortable.

Xiu Niang nodded.I grabbed her into my arms and let her sit in front of me, leaning on me.Xiu Niangqu didn't dare to move in my arms, her body was so stiff that it hurt me.

The wine jar is not big, and when fined wine is drunk one jar at a time, I picked up the wine jar and took a big gulp, it was mellow and fragrant, it was really good wine.The wine jar dangled in front of Xiuniang's eyes, she took it, hesitated for a moment, and imitated me and took a long gulp.After drinking, his face immediately turned red.

Xiu Niang may be using the strength of wine, she asked me: What about Liu Yan'er?

I laughed, and began to cross-examine so quickly: She is a good sister, and it is rare to have a confidant. A few days ago, I wrote a song and sent it to her, just in time for you to meet.

Xiu Niang shrugged her shoulders: You know how to write music... Did you write it for her...

Me: Not really, Sister Liu said that the song has been completed, and I will take you to listen to it next time, and write it for you if you like it.I make a promise here.

Xiu Niang shook her head lightly, feeling drunk, her eyes began to blur, but she still stubbornly stayed awake.Very cute.I asked her if the wine was good, she nodded, it was fragrant and spicy.Asked if she still wanted it, she reached out to touch the wine jar.

She got drunk quite quickly, half-closed her eyes, perhaps because the answer just now made her happy, the corners of Xiu Niang's mouth also slightly turned up.

With a heartbeat, I poured the last sip of wine into my mouth, but without swallowing it, I bent my head and poured the wine into Xiu Niang's lips.Xiu Niang subconsciously struggled a few times, nestled softly in my arms, and swallowed the wine bit by bit.

After getting drunk, the two of them got up from the bed at noon the next day. When they were washing and washing, my mother brought the servants over to clean up the room. The quilts were replaced with new ones. She passed by me and slapped me on the back again, cursing: Being a daughter is restless, being half a man is stupid.After finishing speaking, tell Xiuniang that if I treat her badly, I can just file a complaint, and my mother will make the decision.Xiu Niang stood aside, shy and timid. I looked at myself in the bronze mirror. I was not as beautiful as Xiu Niang, but I could be considered to have good features and delicate features. How could I look a little stupid?

In summer, I still like to sit in front of the porch with my feet under the water curtain, but I don’t open my clothes as casually as before.It's somewhat embarrassing to have one more person next to me, and the water curtain covers the room, so it's not too hot.Xiuniang is just like those daughters-in-law in other families. She has to wait for me to dress and ask me to eat. If there is a small scratch in the clothes, she will carefully sew it up with a needle and thread.I don’t know how many times I’ve said that these are all done by servants. I can dress myself, and I can also mend the small seams and holes in my clothes.She kept silent, always lowered her head and smiled slightly.The next day, she would still get out of bed and help me get my clothes first, and still help me tie my hair.

Xiuniang no longer ran horses with me, she just looked at me, scooped her up on a horse, and smiled softly.I separated the horse farm by a small area, built a gazebo, dug a small pond, and moved rockery into the pond.It seems that there is always something missing. The racecourse is just a loess dam, so the land was turned over, some flowers and plants were planted, and some small trees were planted around it.In the coming year, this place will be a real small garden.

Xiuniang didn't go out, and rarely wandered around other yards.Some things are women's morals and ethics for her.When you are married, you naturally have to obey the rules.Shizhen just stayed by my side, and when I went out to go home, she would just look around at the door.

I don't care about those invisible rules and regulations. I asked Xiu Niang several times to treat her as a young lady. Even my mother has someone to take care of her. As long as she is happy, she really doesn't have to worry about small things.Xiu Niang shook her head, she said: That's not okay, that's what I'm willing to do.After going back and forth, he followed her wishes and stopped persuading her.

Sometimes I would bring back some jewellery, mostly simple and small in style, which would complement Xiuniang better.Xiu Niang would always take it with joy, and put it back into the jewelry box to put it away after a while.

A good time was chosen in the second half of the year, and her brother got married, and Xiuniang began to talk to her brother's childhood sweetheart.Seeing her belly getting bigger day by day, she had a little nephew the next summer.Xiuniang also loves that little thing, and goes to see it every day.After thinking about it, I folded back a willow branch and planted it by the pond in the yard with Xiu Niang.Finally, she had something to take care of, so she stopped distracting her little nephew every day.

One day, I took Xiuniang to Lanyue Tower, and Liu Yan'er sent a message saying that there was a new song from the Western Regions, and invited me to enjoy it.There was a white cat lying lazily on Liu Yan'er's bed. Hearing someone enter the room, she shook her body, walked to the window sill and lay down again, looking into the room.The cat was snow-white, with jewel-like blue eyes, Xiu Niang fell in love with it when she saw it, she went to tease the cat, the cat was not afraid of people, and nestled in Xiu Niang's arms with a comfortable look.

The tunes of the Western Regions have a special flavor. After listening to them, some inspirations are different from the old days.Xiu Niang was listening to us talking, and when Liu Yan'er asked her something, she just answered a few words with a smile.

Taking advantage of Xiuniang's urgency, Liu Yan'er approached me and asked me: What's wrong with my sister, I think she always looks a little disappointed, you don't treat others better.

I wondered: How could it be bad, the sun and moon in the sky cannot be picked off and given to her.

——I think my sister is still like a little girl. You are a fun-loving person who will cherish flowers one day, Liu Yan'er laughed at me.I blushed, but how can I use a strong one.Why is it so strong? If my younger sister is willing to marry you voluntarily, it will be a knot in my heart-but you dare not touch her because you love her. Do you only dare to use your usual boldness on your elder sister in the building, Liu Yan The more I laugh, the happier I am.I covered my face with my hands, Liu Yan'er hit the nail on the head, and I couldn't answer.

Smiling and laughing, she stopped, she poured three glasses of wine, and sighed: If I get married too, I will also look forward to that wonderful night, if... If there is no response, I will also have a heart attack Well, it's a matter of two people after all.

Is Xiuniang unhappy about this, I thought to myself.

As soon as Xiuniang came back and sat down, the cat nestled into her arms again and fell asleep.Liu Yan'er smiled and said: "This cat likes my sister very much, so I'll give it to you. I've been thinking about it for a long time in this fireworks field, but I haven't thought of a suitable gift for you. The money is too vulgar, and the song is too sour. Calligraphy and painting are too perfunctory, just right now.When Xiu Niang heard this, she stood up quickly: ——How can this be done.

I pulled her to sit down and said: I will send you off if I send you off, you can accept what my sister wants, give the cat a name, and it will be yours.

Liu Yan'er also urged her to name it, and after thinking about the time for a cup of tea, Xiu Niang said, "Why don't we call it Wen Wen?"

How good is this, isn't my name just words?Before I could refute, the cat meowed, sounding satisfied, and Xiu Niang smiled lightly: Then it's called Wenwen, it looks very lazy like you snooze.

Why?What is the reason for this, I think it is very cute, how about calling her Shuixiu?I muttered in my heart.Liu Yan'er laughed so hard that she couldn't straighten her back, and Xiu Niang was also very happy, so I gave up my rebuttal.

When it was time to leave, Liu Yan'er yelled something behind her back, saying that only by taking the initiative can I be happy, which made my back stiffen.

In the evening, I leaned on Xiuniang's smooth back, she tilted her head, saw her watery eyes, and felt a surge in her heart.She closed her eyes and asked me why.

I'm silent, I'm honest, I can't bear it.

Xiu Niang let out an inaudible sigh.

Every year when the willow branch sprouts and grows up, like her nephew's birthday, Xiuniang always celebrates it and looks forward to it growing up.By the spring of the fourth year, the willow has taken root and grown unbearably.
