Chapter 76: Wedding
The bride was wearing her wedding dress sewn stitched out of the stitches, sitting in front of the dressing table, listening to the festive sound of gongs and drums coming from outside the door, she was crying like a tearful person. Alongside her, she was some of her best friends in the building. Compared with them, she was not the most beautiful, but undoubtedly the luckiest.
Her luck was that he met the man named Zhang Xiaozheng, and his friends called him Kitten.
It was just one encounter, and the man generously took out the money to redeem her and took her to this small yard. From then on, she lived the most ordinary life of relying on the door and waiting for her to return. The man is a soldier and the days he can come back in a month are limited, but as long as he is once, she always makes the man feel more comfortable.
She was trained in the building since childhood, and she was proficient in chess, piano, calligraphy and painting, and had basically never been involved in rough work. However, after following this man, she put her skirt in the kitchen, washed her hands and made soup. When the man was not at home, she was too lazy to even dress up, but she was thinking about how to decorate the courtyard more warmly and more like home.
Yes, like home.
She never expected to marry that man with glory and dignified manner, just because she was a brothel woman. When she was young and beautiful, she naturally held it, cared for it, and supported it. Once she was old and deteriorated, she would inevitably end up being dull. This is also the most common destiny in their career. Fate has favored her once, and she does not expect that she will have a second time.
What's more, a man is a person with status, a general. Although the man told her that he was not a general, in her eyes, a high-ranking official who could command thousands of people was not a general? Even if he was not now, he would be like this in the future. Such a person must be a lady from a famous family, and it would not be her turn, so he never hoped that she would live such a life now, and she was very satisfied.
Her hands were a little rougher and her waist was plump. Now she looked more like a housewife. She lived with the status quo until that day, when the man carried a knife and went out with his friends, the words before leaving completely knocked her out.
After great happiness and joy, there is greater fear. Men never say those words of love and love, and their concern and love for her are more reflected in their actions. But that day, the man suddenly said that he would marry her when he came back alive. This shows that the man's trip was extremely dangerous.
She cried and wanted to tell her that she was pregnant with his child and wanted to beg him not to leave. But after a few years of life, she deeply understood this man and would never change his mind because of this. If she said that, it would only add a little more concern to her heart. Although she didn't know how to fight, she also knew that at this time, what she should help was to let the man go to the battlefield without any worries.
She didn't believe in Buddhism and bought a statue of Guanyin. She prayed for the man to return safely in front of the statue. She sat in front of the statue and began to embroider her wedding dress stitch by thread. She didn't do it before because she felt that she was not worthy of marrying such a man at all.
The war broke out as scheduled, and more than 100,000 Qin people surrounded Nanyang City. There were refugees outside the city and refugees inside the city were shuttled. She locked herself in the house, tremblingly embroidered her wedding dress, pricked up her ears and listened to the noise outside. She repeatedly pierced her fingers and dyed her wedding dress red.
She finally spent the most difficult days in panic. When she finished the last stitch of her wedding dress, a huge cheer came from the city, and the people of Western Qin left.
The city gate opened, but she still didn't dare to go out. She didn't know what was going on outside, and whether the man was still alive. Until one day, the unique sound of knocking on the door and the obsessed sound sounded. She flew up like a happy little bird, flew to the door, opened the door, ignored the pedestrians on the street, threw herself into the man's arms, held the man's neck tightly, and cried in tears.
"I'm back, I want to marry you!" The man's words are always so concise and powerful.
"Hong'er, what are you crying on a happy day? You should be happy." The two women behind her hugged her shoulders and comforted her in a low voice, with an uncontrollable envy on her face. Not everyone has the same good luck as her.
"I cry because I am happy." Hong'er raised her face and said.
The sound of gongs and drums had arrived at the door. The woman in the room covered Hong'er's head with a red veil and helped her up. There was a banging sound from outside, "The groom is here to pick up the bride!" A rough voice sounded: "The bride is open!"
The door slowly opened, and Xiaomao Zhang had a smile on her face. A big red flower was placed on her chest by the monk. She was holding a long piece of red silk in her hand. These were all touched by the monk.
"Happy!" Seeing a couple walking towards the front hall with red silk in their hands, the monk happily danced with his hands like a marriage, running around and running. The emcee was really dedicated.
"Worship the heaven and earth!" A pair of newcomers holding the red silk looked at the sky and worshiped.
"Two worships the high hall!" This time, what I worship was two spiritual cards offered on the table.
"Honey, husband and wife! Send it to the bridal chamber!"
The simple and bright wedding was quite like a soldier. After three worships, the ceremony ended. However, the kitten did not take the bride into the bridal chamber, but directly took the bride over and reached out to uncover the bride's red veil.
"Kitten, this is not etiquette!" The emcee monk shouted.
The kitten smiled slightly: "They are all good friends and good brothers present today, but they don't have so many etiquettes. Hong'er, come, let me introduce you to you. This is Dr. Shu, who has saved my life many times and is my savior."
The woman bent down to salute in a skirt, smiled and turned to her side.
"This bald man who shouted, called a monk, is just a monk in flower. He is proficient in eating, drinking, gamble."
Hearing this introduction by the kitten, the monk immediately stretched his face, "Kitten, don't bring such a thing. You slander my reputation in front of my sister-in-law. This will make me how to be a human being in front of my sister-in-law in the future."
The wild dog laughed, "Tell the truth, monk, anyway, your face is thicker than the city wall, are you still ashamed? Sister-in-law, just call me Wild Dog. No one remembers us, our real names, we have a friendship with the kitten. The gloomy guy who is like everyone else owes him money is called scissors. The last time your man was beaten so hard that he couldn't get up. When toasting later, sister-in-law, don't forget to secretly put some crotons for him."
"Hello, sister-in-law!" The scissors walked up and clasped their fists as a tribute.
The woman blushed and saluted everyone one by one.
"Everyone, today I will let Hong'er meet you officially. From now on, she will be my Zhang Xiaomao's wife. Today, in front of my brothers and my wife, I have important things to announce." The little cat's face said solemnly.
The room became quiet.
"In this battle, the western border troops were gone, my Fengfeng camp was gone, and my heart was cold. Today I married a wife, and my wife was pregnant with my children, so I want to live a serious life. Next, I will bid farewell to my military career. I will resign from my official position and no longer serve in the army. I will live a small life with my wife and children in the future. Please forgive me!" The kitten bowed to the ground, and the woman looked at him in surprise and joy.
Everyone was silent at first, then nodded in understanding. The kitten had already washed himself and could quit, but the other three, if they wanted to not join the army, had to escape, but in this way, they would never be able to whitewash themselves.
Thinking of his current situation, everyone was a little sad. I don’t know how to live the next life?
"Let's talk about anything else after Boss Qin comes back!" Wild Dog slapped the table, "If Boss Qin doesn't come back, I will definitely be a deserter. This battle is a coward, hold your breath, and stay here again, I will be tortured to death sooner or later."
"Today, the kitten is happy, why do you say these things? Come and drink, drink." The monk raised his hands, "Wild Dog, aren't you drunk for a thousand cups? Let me see what human skills are."
"The main owner today is a kitten, don't make a mistake." A rare smile finally appeared on the scissors' face, "If you don't put the kitten down, no one is allowed to go out today."
"Set wine, put wine." Everyone shouted.
