On an autumn day in the barren state where miasma is thick, the miasma is rarely blown away by the cool wind of the autumn night, revealing the bright and penetrating moonlight of the autumn night.
The fallen leaves gathered and were blown away, and the jackdaws were awakened from their sleep by the sound of firecrackers from nowhere.
The jackdaw looked down through the branches and saw a bamboo and wooden house facing the water on all sides. Red silk and satin were hung around it, and red lanterns with the characters "囍" were lit. Several young boys and girls , and also set off firecrackers happily.
"Gu Gu, are you really sure that your father and I are willing to marry you? Wouldn't it be good if we just got married while he's not here~" Xie Haoda, who had just grown haircut, said no. Okay, but at the same time he laughed and set off the next string of firecrackers!
Seventeen-year-old Gu Ruosu was dressed in red, with three thousand black hair tied up with a gold hairpin. Her eyes were bright and she smiled openly. She held the firecracker in her hand and said with a smile:
"Your father confessed his love to me two days ago. He told me that if I don't marry him in this life, who else will I marry if he doesn't marry me?"
"Besides, this kind of thing should be settled as soon as possible! Although your father is not young, he is still so handsome. If I don't abduct your father into my room quickly, he will be abducted by that little goblin later!"
After saying this, Gu Ruosu suddenly straightened his expression and said: "What's more, in troubled times, rituals and music have collapsed, and life is like grass. Some people have no tomorrow if they have today. What are the three books and six etiquettes? I really can't wait." It's too late, I don't know how long I can live, but at least... I hope that when I die, the words "Tomb of Xie Ruqing's Beloved Wife Gu" will be written on my memorial tablet..."
"Hahaha, please don't be so sensational all of a sudden, and don't expect me to sympathize with you. At most, when my father and my eldest brother come back later, if you don't obey, my second brother, third brother, and fourth brother will help you take care of your father. Tie it in!" Xie Haoda was stunned for a while after hearing this. Finally, he smiled and put his arms around Gu Ruosu's shoulders and said.
"Right, second brother and third brother!" Xie Haoda then said to the three brothers of the Xie family.
"Ah, yes, yes! Let's help!" The three Xie brothers looked at each other, but still agreed with a smile.
The sound of firecrackers resounded all around, the light illuminated the dark night, smoke flew, and red confetti scattered all over the small courtyard. Gu Ruosu looked at this scene happily.
Waiting for the distance, the sound of the old cows barking in the bullock cart could be heard vaguely.
Gu Ruosucai said: "Please stop, I heard the voice of our old scalper! Come on, come on, help me go in and touch up my makeup, and then help me put on the red hijab, you three little Handsome boy, let me deal with your father well!"
Xie Haoda was pulled into the bamboo house by Gu Ruosu with a confused look on his face. He followed Gu Ruosu's steps and asked:
"I never heard the old scalper's voice, Gu Gu, are you sure?!"
"Of course I'm sure! My ears can hear anything wrong, even your father's voice. There is absolutely no way I can hear it wrong!"
"That's right...your brain is really useful on my father..."
The conversation between the two people fell into the ears of the three brothers of the Xie family without missing a word. The three brothers looked at each other and smiled. They did not feel that Gu Ruosu's actions were inappropriate. On the contrary, they felt that in this troubled world, Gu Ruosu and him It would be a good thing if dad and dad could really be together and have comfort for each other~
As soon as the three brothers' thoughts came to this point, they saw their eldest brother Xie Haowen and Xie Ruqing slowly walking home in an old ox cart not far away.
The three brothers were speechless at this moment. They had to admit that Gu Ruosu's ears were indeed very useful...
…
…
"Dad! Big brother!"
Xie Ruqing noticed that her house was unusual in the distance, but she still endured her doubts and helped Xie Haowen stop the oxcart. Looking at her three beaming sons, she couldn't help but frown and asked:
"What are you doing up at midnight?"
The three Xie brothers couldn't help but touch their noses with guilt, but thinking of their promise to Gu Ruosu, they still gathered up their courage, and finally... pushed their second brother Xie Haoxue out.
Xie Haoxue looked back at the two brothers who were looking at the sky and the ground behind him, and couldn't help gritting his teeth. Then, looking at Xie Ruqing's scrutinizing eyes, he said:
"Dad, this is...this is...the marriage that a few of us have prepared for you and Miss Gu..."
"Nonsense! Who came up with this idea! So ignorant!" Before Xie Haoxue's words had finished, he heard Xie Ruqing's furious voice ringing from his ears.
"Miss Gu's family and I have never asked our parents, we have not asked about good luck, we have not handed over any betrothal gifts, and we have never asked for documents from the government! Where can we get married! Where have you put Miss Gu's reputation?"
Xie Ruqing had a stern face and a bad tone, almost scolding the three brothers of the Xie family to shame. At this moment, Gu Ruosu, who had already put on a hijab in the bamboo house, couldn't help but clenched his hands and took off the hijab regardless of Xie Haoda's relief. , rushed straight outside the bamboo house.
The door frame of the bamboo house was opened by Gu Ruosu, and Gu Ruosu, who was carefully dressed in red but had tears in her eyes unknowingly at the moment, came into Xie Ruqing's eyes.
Gu Ruosu picked up her skirt and ran to Xie Ruqing in small steps. She opened her mouth several times but was speechless. Finally she lowered her head and asked in a confused voice:
"Didn't you say that you will only marry me in this life..."
Xie Ruqing said in as gentle a tone as possible:
"Yes, I said, I will only marry you for the rest of my life."
"If that's the case, then why are you so angry today and unwilling to marry me?!" When Gu Ruosu heard this, she couldn't help but ignite a glimmer of hope in her heart. She raised her head and looked at Xie Ruqing expectantly.
Xie Ruqing frowned and said:
"I said I would marry you, but I never said it would be today... To marry a wife, you should have three letters and six etiquettes, ten miles..."
Gu Ruosu didn't wait for Xie Ruqing to finish speaking, then interrupted: "I don't want any three books and six etiquettes, or ten miles of red makeup. These things can be replenished for me in the future. I just want to marry you today!"
"The etiquette cannot be discarded..." Xie Ruqing frowned and said in a stiff tone.
"In these troubled times, etiquette and music have collapsed. The emperor is on top, but the princes have emptied their rights. The princes are fighting for hegemony and the feudal towns are divided. Who cares about what etiquette cannot be abolished!"
"Besides, I've prepared everything, including wedding wine, candy, red satin, and wedding clothes! I've been waiting for you for so many years, so why can't you marry me on my birthday?!" Gu Ruosu said a little collapsed for some reason.
"The etiquette and music of this world have collapsed, but we humans must not be disrespectful of etiquette. Since ancient times, we have always married as wives and run as concubines. It is not right for you to follow me to this wild land... What you did today is even more... That’s not right, for your sake...no matter what you say today, I will never agree to it."
"But... when you got married before, you only bought colorful satin and drank the wedding wine, and you didn't entertain your friends from all over. It's obvious... it's obvious that you don't love me at all and are looking for reasons to coax me!
What's more... my heart is with you, and I want to stay by your side forever... If you don't marry me today, my relationship... I will die..." Gu Ruosu said.
"This is different... you will live a long life... Today is your birthday, tell me what you want. In addition to marrying you today, as long as you want, I will satisfy you at all costs." ." Xie Ruqing sighed and reached out to take Gu Ruosu's hand.
Gu Ruosu was dissatisfied and knocked off Xie Ruqing's hand for the first time.
Immediately, Gu Ruosu's eyes were filled with tears, and the tears flowed down. Then, looking at Xie Ruqing, who was still unmoved, she angrily threw the red hijab embroidered by her own hands to the ground. Ran out...
Xie Haoda immediately chased him out worriedly, leaving only a few grown men standing there.
"You all go back to your house. Just pretend that what happened today didn't happen. Don't say a word. She is not sensible, and you are not sensible either. If it happens again, I will beat your legs. Break." As soon as Gu Ruosu left, the worry and anger in Xie Ruqing's heart also burst out at this moment.
bump!
The four brothers of the Xie family lowered their heads and listened to the sound of their father's door being knocked again...
Xie Ruqing returned to the house with a tired face, but saw that her simple house, which originally only had a bamboo bed, a desk, and a cupboard, was now lit with red candles, and many bright red 囍 characters were lit up under the candlelight. The reflection becomes more and more dazzling.
The simple bamboo couch was also covered with bright red light tents, and even the original thin quilt was replaced with a bright red wedding quilt. The quilt was also sprinkled with festive red dates, longan, lotus seeds and other items. , reminding Xie Ruqing and Gu Ruosu's thoughts all the time.
Xie Ruqing looked at the scene in front of him and sighed, then he picked up a pair of scissors on the table and walked out of the room as if resigned.
Under the puzzled looks of Xie Haowen and others, he took down a red lantern and walked in the direction where Gu Ruosu ran out.
The turquoise river water was sparkling under the white moonlight, and the fish in the water were swimming freely under the hazy moonlight. Gu Ruosu, dressed in red, was sitting on the bank of the river. She was crying. Xie Haoda, who was standing behind her, seemed hesitant to speak. He could only carefully pat Gu Ruosu's back. Occasionally, he handed Gu Ruosu a small handkerchief to wipe her face. tears...
"Dada! Your father is a big liar! Wuwuwu! He doesn't like me at all! Wuwuwu! He confessed his love to me two days ago and wrote me a love letter. He called me Gu Gu and his sweetheart! You don’t even want to marry me today! Wow, wow, wow!”
"Maybe... maybe... we were too anxious... my father... couldn't accept it for a while..."
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuut...Liar! I can't accept this! What if someone picked up a beautiful girl like me for free! I'm not even in a hurry! He just doesn't want to!" Gu Ruosu pursed her lips and said He said with an aggrieved face.
"This... is a fact, but doesn't it also prove that my father is a gentleman, not one of those phoenix men... who is willing to bend down for money, mundane things and beauty..."
"Okay... you're right... but... I'm still sad..." Although Gu Ruosu knew in her heart that if she did this, she would indeed be rejected by Xie Ruqing, but knowing that it was the same thing, actually being rejected was still The same thing...
"I finally waited for your father to tell me that he likes me and confess to me, but I just don't feel at ease... I always feel that if I don't cook the raw rice now, sooner or later, your father will abandon me. ! Wuwuwu!" Gu Ruosu whined, and then made another bitter sound!
"Ah...this...my father probably won't do it, after all...he and my mother both abandoned him..."
"But... your father took the initiative to marry your mother. I support your father. Your father is not willing to marry me today!"
"I am willing to marry you, but not today." Xie Haoda comforted her, but before she could say it, Xie Ruqing's voice came from behind the two of them.
"Dad?! You're here!" Xie Haoda said in surprise.
"Well, you go back, I have something to say with Miss Gu."
"Ah...Okay." Xie Haoda turned around and left here three times, but in the end he still hid in the grass uneasy, observing the two people, always ready to wait for his father to break Gu Ruosu's heart again. When the time comes, rush forward and act bravely!
"The moonlight is beautiful, but the wind is strong in autumn. Let me take you back and don't stay here anymore." Xie Ruqing sat next to Gu Ruosu, looked at the sobbing Gu Ruosu, and said softly.
"Didn't you reject me? Why did you come out to find me? Why are you trying to coax me with these words..." Gu Ruosu took out a handkerchief from Xie Ruqing's sleeve with dissatisfaction and said while wiping her tears.
"I didn't reject you. I wanted to marry you, but I wanted to marry you gloriously. I didn't want to wrong you..."
"But I don't..."
"You don't care, but I do. I used to feel that except for learning, everything can be done, food can be done, clothes can be done, life can be done, and even the bullying of others can be done. I have to endure it...but I don't want to give in to marrying you."
"Why?" Gu Ruosu asked with his eyes wide open.
"Because I am happy with you, I love you, and I don't want my beloved girl to make do with me.
My Gu Gu, my sweetheart, you are worthy of the phoenix crown, the harem, and the ten miles of red makeup..." Xie Ruqing took Gu Ruosu's hand and looked at Gu Ruosu seriously with eyes full of love and tenderness...
"But today is my birthday, and I still want to marry you..."
"I'm sorry, I really can't do this, but since this is your birthday wish, I will try my best to fulfill you."
"Nonsense, you are not willing to marry me, how can you still satisfy me?"
"We are married as husband and wife, and there is no doubt about the love between them. The joy is tonight, and the good times are good. "
You said that when you were a child, you once heard such a poem, saying that you most yearned for the day when couples tied their hair. But, unfortunately, we in Dayong have never had such a custom. You said that you would not be able to enjoy the day of tying your hair.
Today, would it be okay if I tied the knot with you? Xie Ruqing said, took out the scissors she had brought, and then cut off a strand of her black hair and handed it to Gu Ruosu's hand.
Gu Ruosu's eyes suddenly flashed with light at this moment, and then she said delicately:
"Okay, then I want you to help me cut it, okay?"
Xie Ruqing was stunned for a moment, then smiled and took off the golden hairpin from Gu Ruosu's head. Looking at the three thousand black hair that Gu Ruosu had scattered, he gently picked up a strand with his fingers and carefully cut it off with scissors.
Then he took off the sachet from his waist, entwined their hair together, then put it into the sachet, handed it to Gu Ruosu's hand, and said:
"We become husband and wife, and there is no doubt about our love. Gu Gu, just wait. Give me another year, and I will truly marry you as husband and wife. How about you, wait for me?" Xie Ruqing was full of expectations but Then he carefully confirmed to Gu Ruosu.
Gu Ruosu thought for a long time, and finally raised his head and said, "Okay, I'll wait for you! If you don't let me down, I will depend on you for life and death!"
As soon as Gu Ruosu finished speaking, Xie Ruqing uncontrollably pulled Gu Ruosu into his arms, raised Gu Ruosu's chin with his own hands, and sealed Gu Ruosu's cherry mouth with his own red lips...
Under the moonlight, a pair of beautiful people, between the mountains and rivers, forget everything. In the end, only each other is left in their hearts...
I'm sorry. 520 As a single person, I was so shocked that I misplaced the draft.
