Chapter 46 Red Candle

The moon is like a silver hook.

Outside Suzhou City, there are stars on the yellow sand thousands of miles away.

The flowers that bloomed early, with the wind rippling like waves, were in the middle of the sea of ​​flowers, and the wooden house emitted a dim light. The terraces were seen from afar, red flower ribbons were hung on the corridor columns, and the word "Happy" was also pasted on the windows.

The world was silent, and two figures came from afar, holding hands, slowly moving forward in the dreamy scenery, intermittent words appeared and disappeared in the wind:

"Ling'er, I...I'm your aunt..."

"Uh... it won't be the case in the future, but you can also call it that way, aunt..."

"What aunt? That's the child's name... By the way, according to the rules, whoever enters the door first is the sister. Now I enter the door, Xiang'er and Xiao Qi will call me sister in the future, right?"

"Yeah, it should be."

"What does it mean? Ling'er, you are a big man, can't control your wife?... But don't care about me, I agreed in advance. If you don't even listen to me, I will go down and complain to the princess..."

Lu Hongluan held the hem of her skirt in one hand and walked slowly among the flowers, talking nonsense, saying whatever she thought was, hiding the tension and embarrassment in her heart.

Xu Buling carried the lantern and pulled Lu Hongluan to walk in the sea of ​​flowers, neither hurry nor slow, nor slow. After all, the two of them had not taken such a walk for a long time.

From the time of arriving in Chang'an, the two of them walked together. This was the case before, and the same was true in the future. They would never be separated. The so-called wedding is just a ceremony on each other's life journey. It is very important and must be taken, but we cannot add a little more to the feelings that are full of each other, because it has been full.

Some love is plain and gentle, while others are ups and downs.

For Xu Buling, he prefers the former one. He can hold hands and grow old together in a simple way. Who would want to experience the "brokenness and reunion of life and death"? A family is by his side and people are in front of him, which is already the greatest blessing for the aristocratic family.

As we were chatting, the two of us came to the terrace of the wooden house.

Xu Buling opened the door of the wooden house to reveal the spacious room inside. Apart from the objects he played with when he was a child, the most conspicuous thing was a huge bed, which was so big that he could not squeeze into ten people sleeping. It was covered with bright red bedding and embroidered with the words "Mandarin ducks" and "Happy".

Red candles were lit on the lampstand, and on the table where the ritual utensils were placed, there were two trays, inside which were phoenix crowns and robes, and a set of groom's red robe.

Xu Buling came to the dressing table and raised his hand: "Aunt Lu, I'll comb your hair and change your clothes."

Lu Hongluan saw that there were no outsiders in a few miles, only her and Xu Buling, and felt a lot more relaxed. After hesitating at the door for a while, he stepped into the wooden house and glanced around:

"Ling'er... is really here?"

Xu Buling looked a little helpless and shrugged his shoulders.

“…”

Lu Hongluan held her skirt tightly, hesitated for a long time, but still couldn't resist her treasure. She slowly walked to the dressing table and sat down. She looked at the beautiful face in the mirror, and her face turned red suddenly.

Xu Buling picked up the wooden comb, unbuttoned the bun, and gently combed it. In the past, Lu Hongluan had a lot of combing her hair, and she was still very good at this craft.

The large wooden house is very quiet, with only the slight sound of the wooden comb passing through the black hair, and the sometimes rapid and sometimes gentle breathing sounds.

Lu Hongluan looked a little dazed, as if she was back when she was in Chang'an City, when there were only two of them. Looking at Xu Buling who was combing her hair carefully in the mirror, she wanted to talk casually like before, but at this moment, she couldn't find any topic.

It was not until Xu Buling tied his hair and wanted to change her skirt that she twisted her shoulders and whispered:

"There is no groom who puts clothes on the bride. You go to the back of the screen to change it, I will do it myself."

Xu Buling smiled pursed his lips, but did not refuse. He picked up the red robe in the tray and walked into the back of the screen.

Lu Hongluan stood up, and the pearl steps in her hair were shaking. She glanced at the red skirt on the stage, as if she had remembered something, and said:

"Ling'er, I seem to be the wife of the Xiao family..."

Xu Buling changed his robe behind the screen and smiled and said, "Xiao Qi is still your aunt. She has written a letter to the Lu family and terminated the engagement."

Lu Hongluan breathed a little relieved, then picked up the wedding dress and looked at it carefully: "You are quite thoughtful... don't peek." As she said that, she turned around and unbuttoned the strap around her waist.

Xu Buling naturally wouldn't peek at my aunt changing clothes, look like a gentleman, and stand behind the screen and wait quietly.

There was a rustling sound outside, and it took a long time to stop, and then Lu Hongluan's voice came again:

"Okay... come out."

Xu Buling walked out of the screen and looked up. Under the red candle light, the woman was wearing a wedding dress and sat upright in front of the embroidery bed. The phoenix pattern was outlined with golden silk on her waist, tightly tied around her waist, outlining the round and round curves. The red embroidered shoes were shrunk under the hem of the skirt, and her hands were still stacked around her waist, but they were obviously a little more shy and nervous than before. She seemed to have noticed his gaze, and she lowered her head and shrank slightly.

Even though the veil covers the moving cheeks, the scene in front of me is still fascinating by the stunning.

Xu Buling stopped and looked at him for a long time before he came to his senses. He was dressed and slowly stepped forward to get the golden scale rod between the ritual vessels, preparing to lift the veil.

Although Lu Hongluan was nervous and confused, she still remembered the wedding process. She found that Xu Buling was wrong and said busy:

"You haven't had a wedding yet... You are the groom who welcomes the bride, how can you just lift the veil..."

"Oh... I almost forgot..."

Xu Buling patted his forehead, put down the scale rod, came to Lu Hongluan, and squatted down with his back to him.

Lu Hongluan's lips under the veil were pursed tightly, and she carefully lay on the man's broad spine, hugged Xu Buling's neck. Then her body lightened slightly, was carried up, and walked out of the wooden house.

This is not the first time I have been lying on Xu Buling's back, but this time I feel completely different.

Lu Hongluan felt that there was a lot of words hidden in her heart, but she couldn't say a word at this moment, for fear that it would destroy the atmosphere that she never dared to think about before.

Walking along the thousands of flowers, I gradually came to the edge of Yuanyang Lake.

The lake is sparkling, and under the bright moonlight, a small stone tomb stands quietly by the lake, and red candles are also placed in front of the tomb.

Xu Buling slowed down a little until he stopped in front of the tombstone. His past and present life had already blurred, but the feeling of being like a knife in his heart is real, I can't hold it back, and I never thought about going to put it in.

Lu Hongluan came down from Xu Buling's back, knew where she was, and stood quietly beside Xu Buling. After a long time of silence, she whispered:

"Sister, I'm sorry...I...I'll take care of Ling'er in the future. I'll forget about burning yellow paper when I was calling me a man. I'll change my words in the future...If you want to scold me, just scold me..."

Xu Buling's expression was quiet, and he stood upright in front of the tombstone and said softly:

"Mom won't blame you. If I know about it, it's too late to be happy."

Lu Hongluan was silent for a moment and nodded slightly:

"Just don't blame me... then... let's go to church."

"Worship the heaven and earth..."

"Two worships the high hall..."

...

In the quiet sea of ​​flowers, the man's voice trembled for some reason.

The stars in the Yuanyang Lake are as flat as a mirror, and the red candles by the lake seem to blend into one with the sea of ​​stars and the earth. If the heaven and earth have spirits, I will definitely see it.

In the distance, on the roof of the royal palace hall.

The man in a python robe with a white hair was holding an ordinary wine gourd in his hand, which contained the broken jade burnt brought from Chang'an.

After Princess Su left, he had never drunk Duanyu Shao again. It was not that he could not buy it in Xiliang, but that the person who accompanied him to drink was no longer there, and no matter how good the wine was, it would be tasteless.

But tonight, I obviously have to take a few sips.

Because no matter where the immortal goes, that person will definitely look at the distant northwest wilderness tonight, and look at the sea of ​​flowers that have been opened up little by little by little - the three most important people in her life are here today.

Xu You picked up the wine pot, raised his head and drank half a jar of wine, then raised his hand, sprinkled the cool wine on the ground under his feet, muttering softly, and rising with the wind:

"Our son, we got married today. The bride is your favorite little sour radish. It's not easy..."
