In the 36th year of Qingyuan, in the seventh month of last autumn, the farmers in Dajing Village had just finished their summer sowing, and they could harvest in autumn after only one hundred days.

During this slack period, Dajing Village held a happy event today.The joy is that Zhou's third son, who was born as a child, got married today in Zhou Jinian.

The Zhou family’s house was bustling with activity inside and outside. The sisters-in-law of the Zhou family gathered around the kitchen to set up the wedding feast, while the younger generation moved tables and chairs inside and outside the yard. Xie Ning entered.

In the Daqing Dynasty, the wedding was at dusk, and the common people believed that dusk was an auspicious time.There is a saying that the sun belongs to yang, the moon belongs to yin, and dusk is just in the exchange period of yin and yang, and it is suitable for marriage when "yang goes and yin comes".

Therefore, holding the wedding ceremony at dusk is the treatment only for the main wife.

Only concubines and concubines come in during the day.

The Zhou family led a big fat pig tied with a red cloth knot, followed by two musicians with loud musical instruments and heavy dowry gifts.

There were more than a dozen people in the wedding party, and the Daqing Dynasty hired at least six gifts and a maximum of twelve gifts.There are precious ones like gold bracelets, and inferior ones like sugar cakes. Zhou Ji Nian directly treats them with the highest courtesy, showing sincerity.

"Brother Xie Ning is born with a good life..."

"What's the matter? The dowry from his Xie family is a lot!"

"Pfft... ruined appearance, no matter how high the dowry is, who wants it?"

"Oh, when Ning Ge'er was divorced, didn't your family beg for it? People looked down on your family!"

The aunt who was laughed at gave everyone a blank look. Her family really went to ask for a marriage for the sake of a generous dowry.But Xie Dashu looked down on her family, so the aunt couldn't get what she wanted.

The Xie family yard soon heard the sound of blowing, blowing, and blowing, and it was the welcoming procession.

Xie Xiaoyu hopped and ran in front of the second brother's door, because she was too excited, the sound of knocking on the door became heavier, "Second brother, second brother, the Zhou family is here!"

Xie Ning was like when he was a child, squatting in a big wooden basin, some of the water in the basin spilled out, he hugged his legs and tried to shrink himself as small as possible, and kept pouring water on himself.

Because his back is bare, the butterfly bones on his back are clearly visible, giving him a raw and immature youthful skinny feeling.

After "sleeping in a water tank" alarmed his family that day, his eldest brother would fill him with a basin of well water after lunch every day and put it in his room for him to cool off his fever.

It's a pity that in the countryside, no one would buy a bathtub extravagantly. They all use wooden basins or wooden barrels, and use a ladle to scoop up water to take a shower.

Although he felt wronged in this big wooden basin, Xie Ning was unwilling to get up when his legs were sore, because once he got out of the basin, he would wear layers of red wedding clothes and sit alone in the new room, waiting for Zhou Ji Nian to finish his meal After drinking, come to lift his hijab again.

In order to prevent him from being heated to death, his elder brother Xie Yao had prepared water for him early in the morning to let him soak up.

Hearing the knock on the door, Xie Ning nervously replied: "Got it!"

With his toes up, Xie Ning hurriedly got rid of his body and began to put on his clothes.

After the bridegroom team delivered the betrothal gifts, according to the custom, they had to have lunch at Xie's house, and the groom's official had to perform filial piety in the afternoon. At dusk, when the sky was slightly drunk, the groom's official could carry his husband back to his home.

When the door is closed, the common people love to say with a smile: Getting married means working hard on the groom during the day, and working hard on the bride and husband at night.

Taking advantage of the time when the dishes were being served, Xie Yao sneaked into his younger brother's room, where Mrs. Xie Sun was fixing Xie Ning's hair.

This person doesn't live at home at night, and his stepmother is also a mother, and Xie Sun finally looks like a mother.

"What are you doing here? It's against the rules, go to the front hall and have a meal." Xie Sun chased away Xie Yao when he saw him.

"Before the table is set, I will have a few words with Brother Ning, and then I will go." Xie Yao didn't talk back, what the stepmother said was indeed the rules.

On the happy day, Mrs. Xie Sun didn't want to make a fuss, "Then tell me, I'll serve Ning Geer's meal."

After the people left, Xie Yao went to get the mahogany comb, combed his younger brother's hair, and said: "If you enter the door, Zhou Ji Nian treats you badly, so you can tell brother, brother will pick you up."

"Brother, can I take a sneak peek at someone?" Xie Ning pinched his fingers, he was worried, did Zhou Jinian not know that he had become such a ghost now?Otherwise, how would you propose marriage?Still promised all the requirements of the father?

It's just a few rooms away, do you want to meet Zhou Jinnian and let him see himself now?If it scares Zhou Ji Nian, then he won't get married, and he won't be able to harm Zhou Ji Nian.

"No, it's unlucky." Xie Yao shook his head.

Thinking of seeing Zhou Jinian in the main room just now, Zhou Jinian was dressed in a red robe, imposing, not very bookish, with a serious and stern face.Xie Yao is obviously older than Zhou Jinian, but he feels that Zhou Jinian is very stable.

The temperament exuded by Ji Nian this week is definitely not something in that pool.

He coaxed his younger brother and said: "Don't be afraid, I met Zhou Jinnian in the college entrance examination. He has a good appearance, but his face is cold and indifferent. In terms of appearance, Zhou Wenshu can be compared to mud on the ground."

"I'm not afraid of him, I'm afraid..." Xie Ning stopped talking, unwilling to tell his brother the words that belittled him.

Xie Yao explained again: "The two families are close, and the Zhou family will never make you sad. But when necessary, you have to be patient, honor your elders, and don't let your own temper go."

Xie Sun brought the food and brought Xie Xiaoyu over. Xie Xiaoyu was wearing a red skirt, showing off her innocent youth.

"Second brother, if you get married tonight, will I not be able to eat your steamed dried eggplant?" Xie Xiaoyu ran to Xie Ning's side and asked with his hands on the table.

Xie Xiaoyu has been close to two half-brothers since she was a child. Because Xie Sun gave birth to twins, the two children are not so easy to take care of. She can only take care of her son, so Xie Xiaoyu was taught to walk by Xie Ning when she was young.

"Then brother went to the front hall to greet the guests. Brother Ning, you are well. Wait for the hospital examination next year, and I will find a doctor for you. You will be cured." Xie Yao had to end the conversation hastily, and turned back to the front hall.

Seeing elder brother out of the room, Xie Ning turned his head and said to Xiaoyu after hearing Xie Sun's call for dinner, "Second brother can make steamed eggplants and send them back to you. You can also go to Zhou's house to find Second brother, you can always eat it."

"That's great." Xie Xiaoyu took two brisk steps to get the cattail fan, and fanned the food on the table to let the food cool down, because the second brother can only eat cold food recently.

Seeing that Xiaoyu was sensible and close to him, Xie Ning asked, "What else do you like to eat? Tell the second brother all about it."

"Second brother likes everything he does." Xie Xiaoyu was born with a dark complexion, and smiled at his second brother with white teeth.

Mrs. Xie Sun helped tidy up the wedding clothes, and went to lead her daughter Xie Xiaoyu, "If it's too hot, put it on before dusk. Eat quickly, be careful, don't mess up your hair."

After speaking, she took Xie Xiaoyu and left. Xie's family was busy today, so she had to hurry up and take her daughter to the front yard to get some happy gifts.

The little brother is also a man, but he just combed his hair with a comb dipped in osmanthus oil, and tied it behind his neck with a red headband. It's not easy to mess up, but he can't lie down.

The front hall and courtyard of Xie's house were full of guests, it was very lively, and everyone's faces were full of joy.Only Xie Ning, alone in the room, ate alone.

He was really worried, he couldn't figure out what Zhou Jinnian was thinking, it couldn't be true as the villagers said, Xie Ning was born with a good life, right?

The courtyard of Xie's house was lively and lively all afternoon, and finally the sun went down, and the sky was slightly yellow.

When the auspicious time came, Xie Ning was dressed in a gorgeous red wedding dress, which made his complexion pale and pink, and Xie Sun quickly covered his head with a red hijab.

Xi Po's congratulatory voice reached his ears, he quickly retracted his hands into his wide sleeves, only to scare everyone.

"Send the bridegroom!"

As soon as Xi Po finished speaking, Xie Ning was carried on Zhou Jinnian's back. Looking down, he could see that the person carrying him was also dressed in red. When he got closer, he could smell a faint smell of alcohol.

Xie Ning froze, not daring to lie on Zhou Jinnian's back, the man's body temperature was hot.

Zhou Jinnian only felt that the person on his back was thin, and he hardly exerted any effort. Feeling Ning Lang's stiffness, he could only quicken his pace.He had already prepared a big bathtub full of well water, just waiting for him to carry him back.

"Oh, the bridegroom's footsteps are really fast, the new husband is so lucky..."

Xie Ning was embarrassed by the jokes from the people around him, even though the sun had gone down, he was still dizzy from the heat.This confusion made him lose his strength, and he relaxed his body and lay on Zhou Jinnian's back. Although it was scorchingly hot, this broad back made lying on his stomach much more comfortable than being stiff.

Fortunately, both Zhou Xie and his family lived in the same village, and the welcoming team soon returned to Zhou's house.

Xie Dashu and Xie Sunshi were invited to the seat, and the two newcomers bowed to their elders for their marriage ceremony.

Xie Ning already felt that his viciousness was coming up again, he felt like a fish that accidentally landed on the shore, his belly was turning white, and it was difficult to breathe.

He could no longer hear the sounds around him clearly, he could only hear his own heartbeat, and after the last kowtow, his legs were already weak...

Standing up with force, Xie Ning felt himself fall into a fiery embrace.

"The auspicious time has come, send it to the bridal chamber!"

Zhou Jinian hurried back to the room with the person in his arms, he directly blocked the others from the door, "Everyone, go eat and drink first, I'll be right back."

After finishing speaking, without looking at the faces of the people, he directly closed the door and locked it behind his back.

Xie Ning's head was lifted, his eyes were blurred, and he could only see a figure in front of him by the red candle.Xie Ning tugged at the front of his shirt, he was so hot that he lost his mind.

Soon he felt that someone helped him take off his wedding clothes, that person hugged him, Xie Ning said with trembling lips: "No..."

Don't touch him, it will burn you to death.

When Xie Ningre passed out, Zhou Jinian carried the person into the bathtub.

The red candles were burning, and the wedding room was full of red '囍' stickers.

After many years, Zhou Jinnian finally saw the living Ning Lang again. He looked at Xie Ning whose lips were dry and pale from the heat, and poured a handful of water on Xie Ning's face.

The spots on Xie Ning's body were worse than those in his previous life, when he was a book boy for him. I don't know how Xie Ning survived.Zhou Jinnian guessed that he had suffered a lot.

Before Xie Ning's death in the previous life, the skin on his body was smooth, but under the skin, the capillaries were densely intertwined, forming the shape of fish scales.

Zhou Jinnian reached out to touch the flakes on Ning Lang's forehead, but before touching Ning Lang's skin, Ning Lang frowned.

Apparently it was overheated by the body temperature transmitted by his fingers, so Zhou Jinnian had no choice but to withdraw his hand.

Someone knocked on the door.

"Ji Nian, it's Dad, and Dad brought food for Brother Ning." Lin Jin stood outside the room and knocked on the door.

Zhou Jinian went to open the door, took the bowl by himself, and said to his father: "Father, let him rest for a while, let's go to the main room to entertain guests."

Not giving Lin Jin a chance to enter the room, he quickly put the bowl on the table, closed the door and went to the main room first.

As soon as he appeared, people in the main room and yard shouted, and the men burst into thunderous laughter.

Xie Yao heard someone say to his father: "Brother Xie, don't worry, I see that the son of the third child this week really likes Brother Ning."

Seeing Zhou Dashu seeing off his relatives all the way, he felt comforted in his heart, and he was even more sure of Zhou Jinnian's son-in-law.
