I'm sick, so this chapter is very messy. Please don't blame me and revise it when I get better

Ming Dynasty

The big red cover and red skirt stepped over the brazier and worshipped his parents-in-law. Song Keren was helped into the bridal chamber by two happy women. Song Keren was so excited that she was dizzy and tinnitus, and the cover was really stuffy. If she persisted for a while, she would have to go back.

A scale pole wrapped in red cloth was stuffed into the cover and lowered. Song Ke's heart was excited, and suddenly the cover moved. Song Keren raised his head happily, but saw another face.

That face is not strange, and there is a bright smile on his handsome face. Looking again, there was a little rabbit tied with a red scarf on the table, and Fang Shaowen was smiling at himself.

Song Keren's face suddenly froze, and suddenly, she had a feeling of being cheated.

She stood up and was so scared that Fang Shaowen couldn't help taking a step back and was shocked.

"Why is it you?" Song Ke asked in a panic.

Fang Shaowen's face suddenly seemed to have been punched and frozen.

"What do you mean by that?" Fang Shaowen suppressed his anger and asked.

"Marrying me is obviously Fang Shaowen. What kind of thing are you?" Song Keren was furious. What she had to believe was that Fang Shaowen was wearing the red dress of the groom.

Fang Shaowen's face suddenly turned pale. He couldn't help sneering and looking at Song Keren with slanting eyes.

"So you only think of me as him?" Fang Shaowen said coldly.

Who knows, Song Keyen was unwilling to show weakness and said fiercely, "What makes me treat you as him? You deliberately pretended to be him. Wasn't it him who went to propose marriage, propose marriage, and let go at the beginning? I hid in the back hall and saw him giving a bride price. Who else can I fool?

Fang Shaowen was also calm. He sneered twice and said with slanting eyes, "Have you ever seen any groom who went to give the bride price in person?"

This sentence stabbed Song Keren's heart like a knife. Song Keren couldn't help falling on **, and his heart was as painful as being cut by a knife.

After half a day, Song Ke couldn't help crying with a "wow..."

Seeing Song Keren crying, Fang Shaowen couldn't help softening his heart. He took a deep breath and suppressed his anger. He went to the table and picked up the rabbit, hugged him in front of Song Keren, and said softly with a smile, "Look, how cute this rabbit is? Furry, come on, it's asking you to hug it!"

"Get out! Get out of here! Get out with your rabbit! Who cares about your rabbit? Get out of here!" Song Keyen said and pushed Fang Shaowen to one side fiercely.

Fang Shaowen sneered twice and couldn't help but want to attack. Seeing Song Keyen's rainy appearance, he put away his anger and said coldly, "What's wrong with you marrying me? Do you know that I will treat you badly? Can't you see that I'm also sincere to you?"

I don't know that Song Keren is now angry and has been blinded by anger for a long time. She suddenly stood up, walked over and pushed Fang Shaowen fiercely. She pulled Fang Shaowen's clothes and pushed them to the door.

"Get out! I don't want to see you in my life!"

"You!"

You didn't finish this, Song Keyen pushed and tore Fang Shaowen out of the door. Fang Shaowen was angry for a moment, sneered twice, and threw the rabbit to the ground fiercely. The rabbit was shocked and ran out in one direction in panic. After a few seconds, it was submerged in the vast dark night.

Republic of China

The next day, in the confusion and stumbling, Song Keyen heard the sound of beating drums and noise outside the door, and the auspicious time was approaching.

Xi Niang looked at Song Keren quickly and carefully, and then took a strand of hair from the top of Song Keren's head and tied it into a small bun, taking the meaning of "haired couple". The Fang family's red envelopes were handed in, and the relatives and friends who cut off the door opened the door. Suddenly, the noisy band and sedan chair calmly squeezed into Song Ke's courtyard, squeezing and throwing a lot of money. Xi Niang went out early and waited for her brother to welcome the people into the main room.

Xi Niang personally took out the "children's bowls of chopsticks" that symbolized longevity. The eldest daughter-in-law of the Fang family carefully took them and wrapped them in red cloth. She also called the child who "picked the teapot" (according to the rules, the bride's sedan chair should not be empty, so when she came, a child sat in it with a handful of tea in his hand. Put a small amount of water and a piece of tofu in the teapot, with a bat-shaped red velvet flower on it. On the top of the pot, it is covered with a square red Ropa.) She took the teapot and Ropa in the child's hand and handed the red Ropa to Song Keren's Xi Niang. Xi Niang took it, and then stretched it out with Aunt Wen and walked together. In the inner room, at this time, a distant cousin of Song Keren quickly put the red velvet flowers in the teapot on Song Keren's head. At this time, Xi Niang and Aunt Wen covered the bright red Ropa on Song Keren's head, and everything was immersed in this red, seemingly auspicious net.

Aunt Wen and her cousin helped Song Keren up. Song Keyen lowered her head slightly and could see things on the ground through the gap in the cover. Her younger brother came over and picked up Song Keren. Song Keren has an unwritten rule in this place. The bride's feet can't touch the ground and needs her brother to hold it into the sedan chair. Song Keren listen. Seeing his brother's rough gasp in his ear, he was not very old. Now think about it, Song Keren was not heavy at that time. Maybe his younger brother was a little difficult because he had been malnourished for a long time.

Soon, Song Keren was put into the sedan chair. To be honest, the sedan chair was not very comfortable. Although it was already late autumn, the sedan chair was stuffy. In addition, it was just a wooden board covered with red cloth. After sitting for a while, the buttocks would hurt.

Xi Niang came. At the moment when the curtain was put down, Xi Niang said to Song Keren in a trembling voice, "Child, I wish you all year round and a hundred years of good relationship." Not until she finished speaking, Song Keyen cried with a "wow". The heartbreaking cry had a charm that moved him. The more she cried, the more sad he became, but the crying could never suppress the suona behind him.

About many unlucky brides will hate the voice of suona, which is a satire on joy, a loud mockery from a different world, and a weak sigh for the helplessness and powerlessness of fate.

Song Keren leaned on one side of the sedan chair, with sweat and tears sticking to his face. The buttons of the clothes at the neckline were tight, which made Song Keren a little breathless. The covered head aggravated this uncomfortable sultry heat. Song Keren could not take off the cover or loosen it. Open the neckline, tired of crying, just next to it.

When Song Keren was immersed in the slow and slight shaking of the sedan chair, the sedan chair suddenly stopped, and then it was gently put down. Song Keren hurriedly straightened up and wiped his tears and sweat with his hand. At this time, Song Keren felt that someone kicked the door of the sedan chair and should have arrived, Song Keren thought.

I only heard someone shouting loudly outside: "Welcome the newcomer and press the sedan chair." Suddenly, she felt that the sedan chair was tilted (this was Song Keren's first sedan chair since he was a child). Song Keren followed his inertia and was almost poured out. Thanks to the Fang's sister-in-law at the door of the sedan chair, she caught Song Keren. She pulled Song Keren hard. Song Keren stood up straight, but fortunately, she did not make a fool of herself.

Fang's sister-in-law and Fang's mother-in-law helped Song Keren and only heard the mother say beside Song Keren: "Slow down, don't ring the bell hanging on the skirt (if there is a sound, it means that the girl has no tutor. The young lady of a large family usually has small feet and walks slowly, so the bells generally does not ring. .)

Fang's sister-in-law said to Song Keren on the other side, "When you step on the brazier, be careful and don't scratch Mars."

Song Keren was very grateful for her sister-in-law's kind teaching this time. When she walked to the front of the brazier, Song Keyen had a real fear. The brazier, no, should be said, the fire in the brazier was very prosperous. Maybe the Fang family was for auspiciousness, but this was very difficult for Song Keyen.

"Don't stop, be bold." My sister-in-law said.

Song Keren gritted his teeth, grabbed his right hand with his left hand, and took a big step forward. Behind him, there was a loud cry from everyone.

"It's good that I didn't scratch Mars." My sister-in-law said.

"Real, the bell rang." Mom said. Perhaps Song Keren is too stupid. Even many years later, Song Keren can't imagine how such a big and vigorous brazier can he not touch the bell? By the way! Take the bell in your hand and it won't ring. Of course, this is a joke.

Song Keren and Fang Shaowen, the second young master of the Fang family, were pushed to the center of the flower hall and worshipped, but Song Keren had never seen the young master. After the worship, Song Keren was still helped by his mother and sister-in-law and entered the bridal chamber.

You can't sit down immediately. It is said that at this moment, ** two wives who have invited "All Fortune" (people whose parents, spouses and children are all) are laying quilts. Although this process is not long, it is annoying. It is easy for them to wait for them to make the bed. Song Keren is hugged by his sister-in-law and sits beside him. It should be the second young master of the Fang family. The two "quanfu" wives did not leave, but scattered the happy fruits (dates, lotus, etc.) in the tent with the invited mothers, and said, "Peace and have a noble son early." Wait a minute.

After about a ray of incense, the mother said, "Young master, please rise!" She shouted. At this time, Song Keyen felt that the person beside her moved, and then seemed to be pulled up, "Young master, please rise!" She shouted again. Immediately, someone probably handed him something. Song Keyen guessed that it should be the scale rod used to pick up the cover, "Young Master, please rise!" Suddenly, Song Keren felt that the cover moved, and Song Keren's heart jumped randomly for a moment, as if there was a possibility of jumping out. Then, the red cloth was completely uncovered. Song Keren deliberately lowered his head (cousin said that the bride must be shy and reserved), but at the moment he lowered his head, Song Keren saw it clearly. The person who is ready to accompany for life in the future.

He picked up the cover hard in the direction of the roof. Soon, he was supported, sat down and sat next to Song Keren. Song Keren glanced at him gently and sat, panting, and gasping for breath gave off a special smell, an indescribable smell. Although it was not annoying, it was impossible to dodge. He must have a lung disease, perhaps, a tuberculosis.

At this time, the women brought the "children and grandchildren" that had been prepared for a long time and took turns to feed Song Ke people. Song Keren lowered his head and ate, regardless of the auspicious words in their mouths, and quietly looked at him with slanted eyes. In the era of Song Keren, there was no fierce emotional collision, whether it was love or not. , you can't let people see it. You have to pretend to be a dispensable and slightly indifferent look. If you are told that you like it, a girl is like a great grievance. Such beauty and happiness, if it is low-key, gloomy, suppressed, can't be said. Even if it is hidden in your heart, you need to be silently forgotten. .

The man beside Song Keren has pale slender fingers, without accessories such as rings or wrenches. His nails are neatly cut, and there are no burrs around his nails. In contrast, his brother's little black hands and black mud in his nails look a little rough. That man looks extremely thin. Although it is a well-fitting dress, the cuffs and robes look loose. At that time, both men and women have begun to collect clothes in a fashionable fashion. The sleeves are thin, tightly wrapped around the arms, and the robe needs to be very obedient, so that it can be chic. Maybe he is too thin and his family doesn't want outsiders to see his sick appearance.

He is very polite and polite. Whether it is the happy mother who sends "shou mian" or the mother praying for blessings at home, he will say "thank you" to others. In that era, how many young masters could respect the mothers who did rough work?

After eating the "shou mian", an old woman said in a seemingly commanding tone, "After the ceremony, everyone has been busy all day inside and outside, and the newlyweds have also worked hard. Next, it's the matter of the young couple. Let's not be lively." Song Keren saw a good person coaxing in the crowd. The mother raised her slender eyebrows and stared at the people. The man immediately swallowed what he was about to say. The crowd obediently left the new house. The cut seemed to be the new house of the red dyeing workshop, and it was instantly deserted.

The mother and Xi's wife didn't leave. She walked over and said something to the two Xi'ang. Then, the two also withdrew. The mother immediately put on a smile and walked to Song Keren's side. "Second young lady, please take a step to talk." Song Keren stood up. At the beginning of the period, she heard the word "second young lady" quite strangely, and even had the illusion that she was calling others. Song Keren followed her and took a few steps. She came to Song Keren's ear and said to Song Keren, "The young master also likes to be quiet and doesn't love to quarrel. Therefore, his wife ordered that she didn't let people make trouble in the bridal chamber. One more thing, for the time being, please ask the second young lady to move first, and the outside is also prepared for you. Recently, it's been cold, and Song Keyen's second young master Some congenital deficiencies are afraid of cold, especially after the solar term. My wife told me that after a few days, the young master will be better in the round room.

Song Keren lay on the soft**, staring at the red tent without moving. Everything around him was so warm and comfortable, and he could clearly smell the smell of incense. It was also warm, comfortable, not annoying, and made people addicted to it. Gradually In the fragrance, Song Keren is dizzy and dizzy.
