The customs of Qinghe Village have always been different from those of other villages.
Weddings in other places are particular about holding them at noon.
But in a small mountain village, everything about auspicious times depends on the blind man at the head of the village to tell fortunes, and everyone can't tell the fortune at noon.
Therefore, everyone is left with an unwritten rule.
For any wedding, you should get up early on the wedding day to prepare things, and go out to pick up the bride when it is still dark.
After everyone has eaten, drank, and made noise, the sun will almost come out, and it’s time to go to the church and go through the procedures.
After all the busy work, everyone sat down together to drink two glasses of wedding wine, and the day was considered to have passed.
However, although adults are used to it at this time, children always cannot get up.
Therefore, in the evening, Su Liuye and his wife took Dabao and Erbao with them and prepared to set off early.
This time, even Granny Duan also got in the car.
Before leaving, seeing Qin Lian standing at the door staring at them, Su Liuye hesitated for a moment and asked one more question, "Lianlian, won't you go back with us?"
Qin Lian shook her head, "No, you can go back!"
The last time she went home was still vivid in her mind. When she thought of that time, Qin Lian lowered her head in disappointment.
But after a moment, she raised her head again and forced a smile, "Don't worry, it's not because of my family. I don't want to contact anyone in the village anymore."
"Although Lao Liu is very popular, if my parents are gone, it means that I am gone. By the way, Liu Ye, if my parents embarrass you when you go back, tell them the truth. It's me who doesn't want to go back and stay with you. It doesn’t matter!”
Speaking of this, Su Liuye smiled.
"Don't worry, they don't dare to make things difficult for me!" As she said that, a cold light flashed in Su Liuye's eyes, "If they really make things difficult for me later, I have plenty of ways to deal with them!"
Qin Lian nodded and said, "Okay, then be careful on the road."
…
As soon as they got in the car, Dabao and Erbao hung on Su Liuye unceremoniously like koalas.
The one on the left and the one on the right didn't say anything, but they were still fighting to get into Su Liuye's arms.
Grandma Duan looked at the two of them and smiled, "Madam, you are a good person. The children all like you!"
Outside the car, Chu Yanguang's eyes deepened when he saw this scene, "You two, the road is bumpy. Don't press me so hard. What if you get bumped?"
Su Liuye, on the other hand, smiled slightly and touched her two furry heads, looking unconcerned, "It's okay, you're so fragile, and you can't touch her, let's go!"
However, despite saying this, the two children still took a few steps back obediently.
The three of them cuddled together all the way, and Chu Yan quickly drove the old horse to set off.
After all, it was late, and before the journey was even halfway through, the two children were already swaying sleepily, each one rubbing their eyes non-stop.
Especially the second baby, who has a chubby face to begin with, and the baby fat looks extremely round, and he even reaches out and rubs it around, which doesn't look too cute at all.
However, cuteness is cute, and Su Liuye felt really distressed when she saw it. She simply reached out and put her hand into her arms, "Go to sleep if you feel sleepy! Mother will hold you to sleep!"
Unexpectedly, Dabao shook his head extremely seriously, "Dad said that mother is bored on the road and wants us to accompany her to chat more!"
With one word, Su Liuye's heart felt warm again.
Chu Yan's thoughtfulness towards her would always show up when people least expect it.
But she still slapped the two children's heads and said, "You two went to bed, but you didn't run away. The three of us are still sitting together, aren't we also accompanying me? Go to sleep!"
"But daddy said..."
"In this case, the three of us sleep together? Mother, can I tell you a little story?"
Hearing Su Liuye say that she wanted to tell a story for the first time, Erbao felt sleepy instantly and looked at her with big round eyes, "What story do you want to tell me? Erbao wants to hear it!"
"Hmm... tell a story about the three little pigs and the big bad wolf?"
"Okay! Erbao wants to hear it!"
Erbao clapped his little hands excitedly. Su Liuye looked at it and couldn't help but kiss one of them, hugged the other with the other, and started telling the story.
"Once upon a time, there was a little pig family on the mountain..."
Unknowingly, in Su Liuye's gentle voice, the two children gradually lost consciousness.
Su Liuye's own head was also bit by bit, and gradually became silent.
Outside the car, Chu Yan turned back and opened the curtain to take a look.
Under the moonlight, Su Liuye and her two children slept soundly in the carriage, head to head, crowded together.
Chu Yan looked at this scene, and his heart felt like a carriage, filled to the brim.
After a moment, he gently stretched out his hand and traced his calloused index finger across the side of the woman's face, causing her to tighten her neck in her sleep.
Chu Yan sighed and retracted his hand, gently pulling on the reins, making the carriage slow down a bit.
…
In a daze, Su Liuye felt that the carriage had stabilized at some point.
But there was a little more warmth on her forehead.
The warmth seemed to have grown legs, touching her face several times, bringing with it a familiar breath and temperature.
Su Liuye frowned, but finally couldn't help but stretched out her hand and waved gently.
On the bedside, Chu Yan looked at her appearance, smiled muffledly, covered her with a quilt, turned and walked towards the night.
A quarter of an hour later, Chu Yan's figure appeared again in the palace outside the village.
When he saw him again, Ling Feng calmed down a lot this time and even had time to salute him, "Mr. Chu, are you here to see our general?"
"Well," Chu Yan nodded slightly, "How has your general been doing these past two days?"
Before Ling Feng had time to answer, a loud laugh came from the flower hall. Then, Qin Shiming stroked his beard and walked out laughing, "Since you want to know my situation, why don't you come in and have a chat?"
Chu Yan smiled faintly and walked forward without being polite to the man.
After a while, the two sat down in the flower hall, with the hot tea just poured in front of them.
After drinking for a while, Qin Shiming was the first to speak, "What's the matter with you coming back this time?"
"Not this time," Chu Yan shook his head, "Someone in the village will get married tomorrow, and I will come back to return the favor."
As he said that, Chu Yan looked up and said, "I came here to see you. How are you feeling after your injury?"
"Don't worry, since your wife found the spring water last time, it didn't take long for me to completely remove the toxin, and now there is no major problem with my body."
"That's good," Chu Yan looked over meaningfully, "You are the pillar of the country, so nothing can happen to you."
Not knowing what he said was wrong, Qin Shiming suddenly laughed, "The pillar of the country? This kind of nonsense means that outsiders have to listen to it!"
"Do you know why I haven't left yet even though I've recovered from my injury?"
Chu Yan put down the tea cup and looked up with some probing questions in his eyes.
Qin Shiming looked at the corner of the table and his voice had become much lower.
"During this period, have you ever heard about the real and fake daughter of the palace?"
