Chapter 28 Chapter 28(1/2)
The room was very quiet, and you could hear the steady and even breathing sounds made by Li Mu.
He really fell asleep.
Luo Shen's body, which was tense like a tightened bowstring, also relaxed.
But she could no longer sleep.
On the first night in 16 years, she lived in the same room with a strange man named her "newly married husband" who actually hated her teeth. How could she still sleep?
What's wrong
As soon as my body relaxed, my stomach became more and more empty.
She lay motionless on the pillow, pretending to have fallen asleep, but in fact she had glanced at the food table placed in the middle of the room.
On wedding night, couples are in charge and graciously rituals. This is an indispensable marriage etiquette that originated from ancient times.
Of course, it is prepared here too.
The so-called "same prison" originally meant that newlyweds eat one breast and a breast;
Together, the two of them divide the gourd into two scoops, each holding one and drinking wine, taking the two into one, and always making a united heart.
Nowadays, the food and utensils used to perform the same ceremony have also changed. After the food and utensils are completed, the food and utensils are replaced by a cup.
The God of Luo felt hungry, but he could only bear it.
After peeking at Li Mu again, after confirming that he had fallen asleep on the couch, Luo Shen suddenly thought about it.
I'm hungry, just go and eat by myself. What's he? Why bother with him sleeping or waking up!
When Luo Shen thought about this, he immediately became confident, so he sat up, tidied up his hair that was a little scattered, climbed down from the bed, tilted his shoes, and came to the table before he turned his back to Li Mu behind him, and knelt down.
Several foods were placed on the table. In addition to meat, there were steamed cakes and soup.
But the meat became cold, and a white and greasy layer of frozen oil appeared on the top. The soup also became cold.
Only steamed cakes look like they can still eat.
She used to be at home, eating fine food and fine meat, but at this moment, her stomach was so hungry that she didn't want to disturb Aju, so she rolled up her sleeves, took out a cake, tore off a small piece and put it in her mouth, and chewed it slowly.
The steamed cake is blooming (fermented). If you eat it while it is hot, it will be soft and delicious, but now it becomes cold and hard.
Luo Shen took a few bites and felt it was hard to swallow, but he didn't eat it and his stomach was hungry again. He was trying hard to chew it, but he raised his eyes accidentally, and his eyes fell on the wine pot beside him and a pair of squats placed beside him. He looked at it for a moment, and suddenly felt sad, his nose sore, and his eyes turned red.
"Since I beautify your posture, you also please me. Why can you be broad and jump around your wrists?"
Women in the world, no matter how rich or poor, who never dreams of marrying a wishful husband who knows each other?
Just a few months ago, she always thought that her future husband would be the eldest brother of the Lu family.
How could I think at that time that she would spend her wedding night like this?
A man was miserable and miserable, gnawing cold and hard steamed cakes to satisfy his hunger.
She wanted to force her tears back, but when she lowered her head, tears rolled down her eyes, and oozed into the corner of her mouth along her face, and steamed cakes that were a little hard to swallow, with a hint of wet and salty smell in her mouth.
My throat was so aggrieved that I almost choked.
The more I think about it, the sadder I feel.
A hand suddenly stretched out from beside him.
Li Mu came at some point, poured her a cup of tea and handed it over.
Luo Shen quickly turned his face, wiped away the tears on his face quickly, and swallowed the things he had put in his mouth with great effort, pretending not to see it.
Li Mu didn't force himself, he glanced at the steamed cake in her hand, got up and opened the door.
How could Aju go to bed with confidence tonight?
After Li Mu entered the bridal chamber, he sent the others to rest, and stayed with Qiongshu. In the second half of the night, he was resting in an ear room next to the bridal chamber in the east wing.
Aju kept paying attention to the movements next door, feeling very worried. Later, she didn't hear any abnormal movements. Thinking that the little lady had successfully overcome the extremely difficult hurdle for her. She felt relieved and felt so sad. How could she sleep?
As I was wandering around, I suddenly heard the sound of the door opening coming from next door. I hurried out and saw Li Mu appearing in the door.
"The bride is hungry," he said.
Aju was stunned and hurriedly called Qiongshu and then called a woman. Several people arrived at the Li family kitchen house located in the back room.
Tonight's wedding, there were a lot of ready-made ingredients left in the kitchen. So I started to boil the water. Aju personally brought a ball of white flour with one hand, and tore into the pot with the other hand. After it was cooked, she sprinkled with minced meat and mallow, added appropriate seasonings, and quickly made into soup cakes. She took the bowl and rinsed it repeatedly with boiling water before putting it into the bowl, carried it on a food plate, and delivered it together with a basin of hot water.
Li Mu took it over, closed the door, took it in and placed it on the food table.
Luo Shen had already put down the steamed cake that he had only eaten a few bites, lay back on the bed with his clothes, and lie on his side facing the inside.
"Aju made something for you, eat it while it's hot."
Li Mu called her.
The God of Luo didn't move, as if he had fallen asleep.
Li Mu walked to the bed.
"Get up and go eat, and I will agree to the conditions you have proposed."
Luo Shen had originally closed his eyes tightly and made up his mind to starve to death and ignore him. Suddenly, he heard him speak like this, opened his eyes and turned his head slowly.
He stood in front of the bed, looking down at himself, his eyes seemed to have a faint smile.
When Luo Shen hesitated, he suddenly heard him say to himself: "Forget it, pretend I didn't say it!"
After saying that, he turned around and wanted to leave.
The God of Luo immediately got up quickly.
"Remember what you said yourself!"
She got up and returned to the meal before the meal, and sat down again.
The soup cake is steaming hot, and the noodles are floating in the soup, like willow leaves, white and crystal clear. With finely cut minced meat and green mallow, a food aroma comes to the nose, making people's index fingers tremble.
Luo Shen picked up the chopsticks.
Li Mu sat opposite her, looking at her and looking down, looking at her and eating.
After eating half a bowl of Luoshen, he became a little full. What's more, he developed the habit of eating less and more meals, and he wouldn't sleep after accumulating food at night.
She put down her chopsticks - her eyes suddenly opened and she looked at Li Mu opposite her in surprise. She brought the bowl of soup cake she had left and ate it in a few bites.
He raised his eyes and saw her staring at him. He smiled and put down the bowls and chopsticks.
Luo Shen never used food with others, especially the dishes. Seeing that he had finished his leftover food for a few bites, he couldn't even stop him. He came back to his senses from surprise and suddenly a thought popped up in his mind.
He sat against him like this, and the two of them shared a bowl of soup cakes. Isn’t it just in line with the common prison?
After this idea, I didn't have time to express my disgust for eating his leftovers, and subconsciously, my eyes fell on the pair of cups beside the pot and the pot.
According to the customs of the times, the cups used by newlyweds at night in the bridal chamber were different due to their wealth and honor.
But no matter what material, the male and female double cups are distinguished by the pattern.
Men take male cups and women use female cups, and they use yin and yang to harmonize and worship blessings.
This is a pair of wood-carved lacquer cups, quietly placed on the table.
The red base and the cup body depicts a pair of dragons and phoenixes in black paint. The material is ordinary, but it has a simple style.
Luo Shen glanced at him and suddenly noticed that Li Mu's gaze also fell on the pair of cups.
Luo Shen's heart thumped, and the idea that he was about to drink this wine with him immediately popped up in his mind. He didn't want to drink it with him, so he immediately said, "I'm full." He was about to act, but suddenly stopped.
When she saw the man opposite, the smile she had on her face had gradually disappeared.
A heavy shadow passed through his eyes. Two gazes slowly poured on her face from the pair of cups.
He looked at her like a different person, and his eyes seemed to be frozen, and a gloomy color was covered with between his eyebrows.
The God of Luo seemed to smell a cold and solemn atmosphere from him.
Luo Shen didn't know why he suddenly did this, but Li Mu suddenly called Luo Shen and felt scared.
She didn't dare to get up for a moment, held the desk with both hands and froze there. After hesitating, she still didn't want to show her timidity in front of him. She raised her chin and said to him: "Why do you mean to look at me like this?"
Li Mu stared at her for a moment, curled the evil spirit in his eyes, and said lightly: "It's getting late, I'll get up early tomorrow, so go to bed."
He left her and stood up.
Luo Shen stared at his back, suppressed the inexplicable uneasiness in his heart, and then stood up.
The two of them silently rinsed their mouths and faces. One crawled back to the bed, put down the tent, and the other lay down on the couch, resting again.
The man outside the tent seemed to fall asleep again soon and did not hear any movement from him.
But Luo Shen still couldn't sleep.
She was alone, lying on the wide bed beneath her, her eyes closed, and her mind was always flashing with all kinds of "newly married husband" whom she just met tonight.
At first glance, he seemed to have a good temper and gave in to her a lot.
But Luo Shen always had a feeling that Li Mu was not as simple as he showed.
Naturally, if he was just a simple warrior, with his status, he would not be able to force the noble Gao family to such an extent and could only marry himself to Jingkou.
