The screen changes.

There was a roar of people and loud gongs and drums. The Duke's mansion was decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, and red silk was hung everywhere.

He was dressed in a wedding robe and was as long as jade. His eyes were sparkling.

This wedding was very solemn, but the Duke and his wife did not show up and have refused to compromise. In addition, Gu Huaizhi was not easy to get close to, so there were very few people toasting.

Yi Lin alone held a few jugs of wine and declared that he would drink him down.

"Gu Huaizhi, why do you think you are getting married?"

Gu Huaizhi rarely cooperated and had a few drinks with him.

There was no clear emotion on his face.

"Why didn't Mu Hansheng come?"

Yi Lin paused for a moment, then rubbed his dizzy head and sighed: "Now that the world is at peace, you know what happened in the General's Mansion. He has finally endured it."

As he said this, he meant something.

"News came from Yangzhou yesterday that he had been found. He couldn't bear to delay for a moment and left the city overnight. He was afraid of ruining your fun, so he asked me to say sorry to you."

Gu Huaizhi's eyes flashed, then he nodded after thinking of something.

"May he get what he wants."

Yi Lin smiled: "Who says it's not the case?"

Yi Lin said and poured the wine again.

"Are you really going to have a stalemate with them? On a day like today, your father, mother, uncle, and aunt are not present. It's clear that you don't want to see the bride. Is it really worth it for your whole family to make such a fuss over a daughter?"

The man's sharp-knuckled hands took the wine glass and rubbed its texture.

Hearing this, he twitched his lips in disapproval.

In a low voice: "She is actually not as miserable as you say..."

He didn't say anything else, he just lifted the wine cup from his lips, raised his head and drank. He drank it all in one gulp, and then stood up.

Outside the new house,

An Qi was dressed in smart clothes, with Xi Po standing next to him, and a group of maids waiting outside. Seeing that he was coming, they hurriedly said hello.

"master."

Gu Huaizhi nodded casually and pushed the door open.

The house was decorated with wedding candles and made crackling sounds. There was joy everywhere.

The woman in the wedding dress is leaning on the bed rail. The head covering is red, the wedding dress is red, and even the embroidered shoes are red.

His eyes trembled, finally feeling a little warm.

does it worth?

He thought it might be worth it.

The man slowly took off his wedding hat and walked closer.

"tired?"

no respond.

He just thought she was sleepy.

Then, the man smiled softly. Even he didn't know what he was laughing at.

He reached out to touch the soft catkins placed in front of the woman's knees.

It's too cold.

The smile on his lips froze. Something flashed through his mind but he didn't catch it.

His expression froze, like a broken string. Overwhelming grief came over him, and he stretched out his hand to pull off the woman's hijab.

Finally I could see her face clearly.

The hibiscus noodles are the same as before, but better than before.

Beauty is beyond compare.

His gaze moved downward inch by inch, landing on the corner of the woman's mouth who had stopped speaking long ago.

There was still a faint smile there.

Only then did he realize that the blood at the corner of her mouth was also red.

————

Gu Huaizhi slept for a full hour this time.

Gu Huaizhi's face didn't look good when he woke up.

It was rare for him to get a good night's sleep, but this dream was really... unlucky.

But this dream is undoubtedly true.

When he woke up, his heart ached.

He did not let go of Ruan Zhen, but hugged her tightly with lingering fear.

"Ruan Zhen."

Ruan Zhen fell into his arms, feeling worried.

"What's wrong? You have another nightmare."

Gu Huaizhi did not respond to her, but just squeezed the woman's hand.

It's warm.

He exhaled softly and then tugged on Ruan Zhen's hair tie.

"Didn't I tell you that Xiao Hui doesn't like the color red?"

Ruan Zhen:……

She said in a very low voice: "But my aunt likes it."

Gu Huaizhi paused obviously.

It was just a dream, and he was actually a little scared.

"Why don't you wear wedding clothes on your wedding day?"

Ruan Zhen:???

Although she doesn't like the color red, she has to do it once.

She withdrew from Gu Huaizhi with some annoyance, and the ends of her eyes were stained with water color. For the first time, she looked accusatory.

"Have you regretted it and don't want to marry me?"

Gu Huaizhi was surprised by her reaction.

"Not yet."

"Then why don't you let me wear wedding clothes?"

"I told you that Xiao Hui doesn't like it."

Gu Huaizhi is indeed capable of doing this kind of thing.

He was never someone who could be bound by the world.

Ruan Zhen could not imagine that on the wedding day, not even red silk was allowed to be hung in the house.

Ruan Zhen is soft-tempered, but she is still very concerned about the three matchmakers and six appointments.

Over the past few days, she has become extremely disgusted with the word "outer room".

She looked at Gu Huaizhi stubbornly. Ruan Zhen frowned and pulled her hand back.

Her voice was soft but firm: "The matchmaker is getting married, the phoenix crown and the harem, the three books and the six etiquettes, I want them all."

What she wanted was not to be grand, but to follow the instructions of her ancestors in an upright manner.

Gu Huaizhi suppressed his fear, but a smile burst out of his throat.

He returned to his usual dead look, staring at Ruan Zhen like this.

"You still blame yourself for being greedy."

Ruan Zhen was very persistent: "I want it all. It was you who said you would marry me."

She even threatened.

"Otherwise, I'll tell my godmother."

This threat is obviously weak and weak.

Gu Huaizhi raised his eyebrows and said in a neither salty nor cool tone: "I'm so scared."
