I was a hunter in ancient times
Chapter 84 Marriage
The news that Zhou Du and Shen Xi were going to get married on the first day of the lunar new year spread throughout the entire Taoyuan Village that night, directly shocking the entire Taoyuan Village.
Where is the age difference between these two people? No one usually thinks of them together.
Besides, although Shen Xi is a bit of a prodigal, but he has good cooking skills, looks and figure is not bad, he can definitely find a better family.
Why do you want to look at Zhoudu, a poor hunter...
When everyone mentioned the word poor, they suddenly stopped, and suddenly remembered that Zhou Du, who had built a house and sold Xiong, was no longer poor.
What's more, he even offered Shen Xi a sky-high dowry gift of 100 taels. Apart from Zhou Du's older age, he was no worse than Shen Xi.
Thinking about it this way, they suddenly felt that Zhou Du and Shen Xi were quite a good match, one was taciturn and unreasonable, the other was eloquent and understanding, their personalities complemented each other perfectly, and they matched perfectly.
But, after thinking about it, they felt that something was wrong again, and lowered their voices and asked the people around them: "No, didn't Mrs. Zhang say that Zhou Du is not good? Why is Dr. Shen still willing to marry Xiaoxi to Zhou Du? "
"Yeah, isn't this pushing the brook into the fire pit?"
For those who celebrate Chinese New Year, there is no work in the field. After eating, the gossips in the village like to get together. The parents and the west chatted briefly. This week, the matter of Zhoudu and Shenxi suddenly broke out. If you don't bomb the village, you won't be far from bombing the village.
Many families cook their meals in a hurry on New Year's Eve just to listen to gossip.
There is no way, Taoyuan Village is too remote, people in the village don’t have much entertainment, but if there is a small matter, they can set up a dragon gate for a long time, let alone such a big event that makes people talk about it, I really want to say it Go to him for three days and three nights.
Sister-in-law Zhang sneaked past these gossiping women with a look of embarrassment on her face, hoping that they would never notice her.
Who told her to listen to Wang Mei's ambiguous words at the beginning, and she couldn't help thinking about it, and when she finally talked to others, she couldn't hold back a word or two.
This word was passed around, and in the end, somehow it turned out that Zhou Du was not good enough.
As soon as the news that Zhou Du and Shen Xi were going to get married came out, the rumors were naturally self-defeating, but it was hard for her, the one who spread the rumors in the first place.
Now I dare not pass by the villagers, for fear that they will ask about it.
However, people live in this world, the more they are afraid, the more they will come. Before she took two steps, a woman saw her and greeted her, "Sister-in-law Zhang, where are you going?"
Seeing that she couldn't hide, Mrs. Zhang stopped in embarrassment, straightened her clothes, and said with an awkward smile, "I just sent some things to my mother's family, so I'm going home now."
"Oh," the woman nodded, and didn't care what Zhang's sister-in-law was doing. She stopped her because she wanted to ask her something, and then asked: "Hey, Zhang's sister-in-law, didn't you say last time, Is there anything wrong with Zhou Du being unmarried at this age, now that Xiaoxi is willing to marry him, it proves that there is nothing wrong with him."
Everyone is not stupid, Shen Mu is a doctor, if Zhou Du really has a problem with that, would he not be able to see it?Since he is willing to marry Xiaoxi to Zhou Du, it has been proved that Zhou Du has no problems.
The reason why I ask this now is because the big guy wants to see Mrs. Zhang's jokes.
Several pairs of questioning eyes stared at her, Mrs. Zhang was so embarrassed that she wanted to hide, but she was the one who spread the rumors, which would make her face herself, and she was unwilling. The story continued: "Then who knows, if Zhou Du really didn't have any problems, why bother to offer a sky-high price of 100 taels of dowry, it would cost so much money for a normal family to marry a daughter-in-law."
Sister-in-law Zhang's way of bringing disaster to the east is very good, and many people can't stop following her thoughts.
That's right, who would normally marry a daughter-in-law with such a large dowry gift? Only those abnormal families would spend a lot of money to marry a daughter-in-law.
A normal family would just offer a dowry with a similar meaning, but this marriage is a marriage between the sexes, not an enmity, who would be so ignorant.
That Zhoudu sold bears, and they only sold 100 taels of silver in total, and now they have all been hired. Do you want to live in the future?
Thinking about it this way, everyone's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that there was something really wrong with Zhou Du, that's why he had to spend all the money to marry Xiao Xi.
The more everyone thought about it, the more they felt that this was the case. For a while, everyone turned from a little bit of jealousy towards Shen Xi to sympathy for him.
After all, Shen Xi was raised by the villagers, and he was good to the big guys. Over the years, the villagers relied on him to take over the table, and also earned some money. Zhou Du, there will be no happiness to speak of in the future, so he can't help feeling sorry for him.
After talking nonsense last time, Mrs. Zhang also understood that sometimes you can’t talk too much. If you can’t get it right, you will be the one who is embarrassed. Seeing that everyone listened to her words again, she hurriedly said: "No For sure, maybe there is nothing wrong with Zhoudu this time, even if there is a problem, don’t worry, there is Dr. Shen, for the good of Xiaoxi, this Dr. Shen will definitely do his best to cure Zhoudu.”
When she said this, everyone felt that it made sense, and they started discussing this topic one by one.
Seeing that no one was paying attention to her, Mrs. Zhang breathed a sigh of relief, and didn't dare to talk to them any more, for fear that she wouldn't be able to stop talking and reveal something misleading, so she went home feeling disappointed.
All kinds of gossip and nonsense in Taoyuan Village will not affect the fact that Zhou Du and Shen Xi are about to get married.
As the Chinese New Year approached, the village became more and more lively day by day. Apart from decorating the house joyfully, the Shen family seemed extraordinarily quiet.
It's not because they don't want to be busy, but because they have to close their doors to catch up with work.
The time was set urgently, the wedding dress that Shen Mu promised to make for Zhoudu Shenxi was not yet ready, so she had to decline all the guests and embroider the wedding dress at home.
And he was not the only one who embroidered the wedding dress. When he was embroidering the wedding dress, Qin Yi also took out the red silk that he had prepared earlier, took out the needle money, and sat beside Shen Mu, imitating his appearance and threading the needles. .
From time to time, he would ask: "Mumu, do you think I am targeting you like this?"
Shen Mu has recently made a few pieces of clothes, and his hands are becoming more and more proficient. The stitches will fly and the threads will fly, which makes people dazzled. Interrupt the sinking twilight.
Shen Mu straightened down the needle and thread in his hand, turned his head to look at the wedding dress Qin Yi imitated, picked it up and looked at it, pointed to the few stitches on his waist, looked at Qin Yi's strong waist and smiled and said: "I'm here The needle is narrowed because Xiaoxi's waist is too thin, so it can make the figure look better, you follow the needle, are you sure you can wear it?"
Qin Yi pursed his lips and said truthfully, "I don't know."
It was obviously a very normal sentence, but Shen Mu could hear a bit of coquettishness, couldn't help rubbing Qin Yi's head, and said patiently: "It's okay, take your time."
As he spoke, he reached for the scissors on the side, and wanted to cut Qin Yi's waistline that had just been sewn on.
With a wave of his sleeves, he swept all the various beads, needles and threads neatly placed on the table to the ground, and they fell all over the floor, looking very messy.
Oops, Shen Mu's heart skipped a beat, and he blinked embarrassedly at Qin Yi.
Qin Yi was helpless in the face of such twilight, so he had to squat down and pick up the beads of needlework that fell to the ground and rolled around, neatly sorting them one by one according to their color and style.
He had just picked it up, and Shen Mu had just cut the waistline on the wedding dress, and was about to return the scissors, but he didn't know where they touched again. He made a mess.
Oh wow.
Shen Mu looked at the table messed up by him again, looked up at Qin Yi whose face was gradually sinking, gently pulled Qin Yi's sleeve, and called out in a soothing voice: "Peace."
This sound called Qin Yi back to the long time ago. He slowly lowered his eyes and saw Shen Mu's innocent face. The anger that had just risen in his heart dissipated immediately.
Rolled Adam's apple, didn't say anything, and went to tidy up the needlework beads messed up by Shen Mu.
Shen Mu put down the fiery red wedding dress, stood up, got into Qin Yi's arms, raised her head and pecked lightly under Qin Yi's chin, and said slowly: "Let it mess up, okay. "
From such a close distance, the faint fragrance from Shen Mu's body radiated, making Qin Yi's head swell, and by accident, he agreed: "Okay."
After Shen Mu succeeded, she curled her lips slightly, sat back and continued sewing the wedding dress.
Qin Yi waited until the wisp of orchid fragrance that fascinated him was gone, and then he realized what he had promised. Looking at the table with mixed colors and patterns, he felt uncomfortable as if someone had grabbed his throat.
As soon as she stretched out a finger to tidy up, Shen Mu raised her head and looked at him innocently: "You just promised me."
Qin Yi: "..."
Shen Mu's eyes fell on the finger he had just stretched out again, she pursed her lips, and said as if aggrieved or submissive: "Are you going to go back on your word?"
Qin Yi's fingertips on the outside were as hot as fire, and he hurriedly retracted them, and sat down feeling uncomfortable, and said in a serious tone: "Manly man, what you say is as good as it is, and since I have promised you, I will never go back on it."
Shen Mu laughed immediately, the smile was like a orchid in full bloom, and the fragrance came naturally: "I knew my safety was the best."
Qin Yi's heart trembled slightly when he was hooked by his smile, his whole mind was taken away by Shen Mu, how could he still remember the mess on the table, fingertips touched the ground that Shen Mu had pecked just now, lips curled up With a shallow smile, she pulled off the wedding dress, held the embroidery needle and lowered her head to embroider in a dignified manner.
Shen Mu quietly raised her eyes, seeing that he was obedient and stopped tossing around, lowered his head, rubbed the embroidery needle on his head, and raised his eyebrows lightly.
In this world, there is no man who understands men better than a man. No wonder Ping An was pinched to death by him, who told him to hold his hand and beg him to save him.
This is his own trap, and he can't blame others.
Shen Mu was sewing wedding dresses for Zhou Du and Shen Xi, and Zhou Du was not idle. He spent a few days arranging the new house in a prosperous manner, which echoed the Shen family's joy from a distance, making people feel at ease when they saw it. Feel festive.
After setting up his and Shen Xi's home, he went to Chen Qingshan's home to ask him to write wedding invitations for the villagers.
It wasn't until Zhou Du came to Chen Qingshan's door that he suddenly understood why he felt that Zhou Du and Shen Xi seemed a little peaceful when he was looking at the new house that day.
The original reason is here.
It's just a thing for young people to see each other. After Chen Qingshan thought about it, he smiled and congratulated Zhou Du, and took out a pen and paper to write a happy note for Zhou Du.
Zhou Du brought wedding stickers and wedding cakes made by Shen Xi, and went door-to-door in the village to treat guests.
This shocked the villagers quite a bit, not to mention that Zhou Du has never been with the villagers in person, and the matter of distributing wedding cakes can only be done by rich families. In a village like theirs, find someone to come Just say hello.
From this appearance, it can be seen that Zhou Du attaches great importance to Shen Xi.
Originally, some people in the village thought that Zhou Du was too cold and arrogant to get along with, and they didn't plan to get along with them. They didn't plan to go to Zhou Du's wedding banquet, and they were too embarrassed to refuse the wedding cakes that Zhou Du personally delivered, so they decided to Go bustling.
In the midst of being busy, the time soon entered the evening of the New Year's Eve, and other people's homes were busy having reunion dinners, but the Shen's house was brightly lit all night.
Shen Xi, who is about to be the groom's official, was busy in the kitchen directing while trying on the wedding dress: "Aunt Li, you have to wait for the water to boil before putting it into the pot, don't worry."
"Aunt Wang, the one in your hand should be sliced thinner, it's too thick and it won't be cooked through, and it won't taste good if it's boiled."
"Little Yu'er, hurry up, help me add a fire to the stove, the food in this pot must be cooked with a high fire to taste."
There is no rule in Daqing that people cook the night before they get married, and Shen Xi doesn't want his wedding banquet to be too bad, and he can't cook it by himself, so he can only squeeze time like this.
Shen Mu was extremely helpless towards him, and chased him to put on the wedding dress: "Xiao Xi, forget about those few bites of food, hurry up and get dressed, I'll see if I need to change it."
While staring at the kitchen, Shen Xi looked at the frantic wearing of wedding clothes, and complained: "Little uncle, this is too complicated for you."
Shen Mu was not convinced: "I will marry this once in my life, so it's so complicated, if it's not that I'm running out of time, I'd like to embroider you with the right dragon and phoenix."
Everyone in the kitchen couldn't help laughing out loud when they saw the bickering between uncle and nephew, and persuaded them: "Xiaoxi, it's not that the wedding dress is too complicated, it's that you are too nervous and anxious."
Zhou Du's home is right next to the Shen's kitchen. He just got out of the water room and was going to try on the wedding dress in the bedroom. The door, pushed out, is a small pavilion specially set up by Zhoudu for drinking tea and resting.
There are open windows on three sides of the Shen family's kitchen. Zhou Du is standing in the small pavilion at the moment, and through the windows of the Shen family's kitchen, he can clearly see the situation in the kitchen at a glance.
He saw that Shen Xi didn't know whether he was wearing half of his wedding dress or half of it, and his hair was messy. Although he was anxiously scratching his ears and cheeks, but there was still a happy smile on his face, he couldn't help laughing out loud.
This magnetic laughter was so abrupt that everyone in the kitchen was attracted, turned their heads, and saw Zhou Du standing on the porch outside the kitchen and peeking.
Shen Xi suddenly saw Zhou Du, and now he finally thought about why Zhou Du built a small corridor on the side of the house.
Thinking of his embarrassment at this moment, he didn't care about other things, and hurriedly greeted everyone in the kitchen: "Hurry up, hurry up, close the window."
On the eve of the wedding, the two parties couldn't meet each other, and he was still in such a mess now, he had to give Zhou Du a good influence before the marriage.
His eagerness made everyone in the kitchen laugh a few more times, laughing and laughing, and after the laughing, they still helped Shenxi close the window, blocking Zhou Du's sight.
After Zhou Du couldn't see what was going on in the kitchen, he shook his head, pressed his chest that started to tremble inexplicably, and went back to the room to put on the wedding dress that Shen Mu made for him.
The bright red color didn't suit Zhou Du, but Shen Mu cleverly embroidered many pairs of swan geese on it, and when he shook off the wedding dress, it was a scene of wild geese flying south.
Not only beautiful but also very meaningful.
We will grow old together until death.
Shen Mu used the needle and thread in his hand to bless him and Shen Xi stitch by stitch.
Zhou Du put on this meaningful wedding dress gently, and the corners of his eyes were moist for some reason.
In the past 27 years, he never thought that one day he would have a lover and family of his own.
He always thought that he was abandoned by the heavens and the world when he traveled to this place, but he never thought that this might be the beginning of a new life.
Zhou Du put on his wedding dress, his eyelashes drooping, and under the light of the candlelight, his fingertips rubbed the pair of geese flapping their wings southward at the cuffs little by little.
Today is the last day of the year, and he will leave all the torture and pain of struggle in the past here. Tomorrow is the beginning of the new year. From then on, he will walk out of the dark night full of mud and go to a brand new solitude Belonging to his bright new life.
Zhou Du closed his eyes, a teardrop silently hung under his sharp chin, hanging down, fell to the floor, fell to pieces, like a shackle broken, as beautiful as a butterfly breaking out of a cocoon.
Shen Xi finished the work in the kitchen in a hurry, and it was almost dawn, Shen Mu forcibly carried him back to the room, took rouge and gouache and patiently and carefully applied it to his face bit by bit.
When the slender hand held the slender eyebrow pencil to trace Shenxi's eyebrows, the fingertips were trembling, and the fundus of the eyes was red for no reason.
He suddenly realized that the child he had brought up since he was 15 years old was about to marry someone else today.
At this moment, he kind of realized why Xiaoxi didn't like Ping An so much back then.
Because I am so sorry.
Once Shen Xi crossed this threshold today, he would no longer be the Xiaoxi who was full of satisfaction chasing after him and calling him little uncle.
Not only Shen Mu's eyes were red, Shen Xi's eye sockets were also red, he and his little uncle had lived together for 13 years, and after all the ups and downs, they were no longer father and son, but father and son.
Shen Xi held Shen Mu's slightly trembling hand, his eyes were filled with moisture, and he said in a trembling voice: "Little uncle."
This little uncle brought Shen Mu back to his thoughts, Shen Mu stabilized his mind, and said with a smile: "Don't cry, your makeup will wear off when you cry."
He painted his eyebrows with Shen Xi again: "When you get married, you must be generous and happy. From now on, you will live in harmony with Zhou Du and live happily."
"I see," Shen Xi swallowed back his tears abruptly, and smiled again: "Little uncle will also live a happy life with Aunt Pingan in harmony and beauty."
Shen Mu's pen with a little rouge outlined on the red mole on Shen Xi's right eye, which became more and more colorful, and smiled softly: "Understood, everyone will be well together in the future."
After finishing the makeup, Shen Mu straightened up and went to dress Shen Xi. Today's hair accessories were the highlight, and he had to exert all his energy to weave an exquisite hair accessory.
Shen Xi looked at himself in the bronze mirror who was becoming more and more handsome, and suddenly asked in a heartfelt way: "Little uncle, when did you learn embroidery, eyebrow drawing, and hair braiding?"
These are things that women do, but his little uncle, a man, does better than women. Shen Xi and Shen Mu have lived together for so many years, and they never know when he left.
Perhaps Shen Mu was too concentrated, and while braiding his hair, he took off the hairpin in his mouth. Hearing Shen Xi's question, he blurted out: "That year when I passed by Ping'an Zizui Jinfang, I saw Ping'an I stared intently at the oiran on the stage, thinking he liked it, and when I went to Zuijinfang to treat the girls in the building, I asked them for advice."
After Shen Mu finished speaking, she stared at Shen Xi who was smiling slyly in the mirror for a while, knowing that he was being tricked by Shen Xi, she pulled Shen Xi's hair angrily: "When you grow up, your wings are hard."
Shen Xi was in pain, but she still didn't let Shen Mu go: "So, you locked me in the room that afternoon, and you dressed me up like that, to seduce..."
Shen Mu shouted at him: "Don't say any more!"
Shen Xi's stomach ached from laughing: "Then when I turned over the window and appeared in your room, where are you hiding, little uncle?"
At that time, he searched the whole room but couldn't find Shen Mu, and he still can't figure out where Shen Mu is hiding.
The tips of Shen Mu's ears turned red, could he even say that he was hiding under Ping An's body, the kid with no eyesight actually looked for him at that time.
Shen Mu covered Shen Xi's mouth with a red face, and said angrily, "Shut up!"
Shen Mu didn't say anything, Shen Xi probably guessed that the only place he didn't look for at that time was in Qin Yi's cloak, because Qin Yi's expression at that time was so fierce, as if he was going to swallow him alive, he didn't want to Dare to approach him.
For so many years, he had dreamed several times in the middle of the night, and he woke up frightened by Qin Yi's ferocious expression, and never thought about it carefully.
Now that he knew the reason, the nightmare of the past suddenly became not scary, but rather funny. At that time, Qin Yi must have been terrified, so he went to look for his little uncle through his cloak.
Shen Mu put the red hijab on him: "Stop laughing, laugh again and I will go to your new house to knock on the door with Ping An."
Shen Xi laughed even louder under the hijab: "With the lessons learned from you, little uncle, we will remember to lock the door!"
Shen Mu: "..."
We had to wait until dusk to pick up the relatives, and before dawn in the morning, Zhou Du got up and kept going. Although his family didn't have any elders, not even any relatives or friends, he really had nothing to do.
But he still got up early, because he was so excited that he couldn't sleep at all. The Shen family's courtyard was next door, so he didn't pay attention to anything, so he took the initiative to go over and help a little.
Carrying a table, setting up a stool, and so on, all the women who helped Shen's family praised him outside Shen Xi's room.
It wasn't until after dawn that people came to the village one after another, and Zhou Du went to greet everyone. Today, his face was finally no longer blank, but with a faint smile, and a ray of joy in the smile, with the The exquisite wedding dress on his body matched it perfectly, making people praise a handsome groom at a glance.
The whole day Zhou Du was busy dealing with the guests in the village, whether he knew them or not, he nodded his head to show that everyone knew each other.
As soon as dusk came, he couldn't wait to run and knock on Shenxi's door, making all the guests in the yard laugh.
Amidst the laughter in the courtyard, the door of Shen Xi's room opened. He was dressed in a wedding dress that matched Zhou Du, with a red hijab on his head, holding a piece of red silk in his hand, and Shen Mu helped him out.
Shen Mu smiled and handed the red silk to Zhou Du: "I handed over Xiaoxi to you, and you will be responsible for Xiaoxi's safety and happiness from now on."
Shen Mu took the red silk from Shen Mu's hand, and promised him: "Uncle, please rest assured, I will make Shenxi safe and happy, smooth and worry-free."
Shen Mu nodded and said nothing more.
Zhou Du picked up Shen Xi, carried him out of the room, and carried him all the way to his new house. There was a wedding hall in the living room, but neither Zhou Du nor Shen Xi had parents, and they only held worship to heaven and earth and husband and wife.
Just when Zhou Du was about to lead Shen Xi into the bridal chamber, Shen Xi, who had been silent all this time, suddenly smiled in his ear and said, "You must remember to lock the door later!"
The author has something to say: I have received the nutrient solution, and I will show it to you tomorrow.

Where is the age difference between these two people? No one usually thinks of them together.

Why do you want to look at Zhoudu, a poor hunter...

Shen Mu straightened down the needle and thread in his hand, turned his head to look at the wedding dress Qin Yi imitated, picked it up and looked at it, pointed to the few stitches on his waist, looked at Qin Yi's strong waist and smiled and said: "I'm here The needle is narrowed because Xiaoxi's waist is too thin, so it can make the figure look better, you follow the needle, are you sure you can wear it?"
Qin Yi pursed his lips and said truthfully, "I don't know."
It was obviously a very normal sentence, but Shen Mu could hear a bit of coquettishness, couldn't help rubbing Qin Yi's head, and said patiently: "It's okay, take your time."
As he spoke, he reached for the scissors on the side, and wanted to cut Qin Yi's waistline that had just been sewn on.
With a wave of his sleeves, he swept all the various beads, needles and threads neatly placed on the table to the ground, and they fell all over the floor, looking very messy.
Oops, Shen Mu's heart skipped a beat, and he blinked embarrassedly at Qin Yi.
Qin Yi was helpless in the face of such twilight, so he had to squat down and pick up the beads of needlework that fell to the ground and rolled around, neatly sorting them one by one according to their color and style.
He had just picked it up, and Shen Mu had just cut the waistline on the wedding dress, and was about to return the scissors, but he didn't know where they touched again. He made a mess.
Oh wow.
Shen Mu looked at the table messed up by him again, looked up at Qin Yi whose face was gradually sinking, gently pulled Qin Yi's sleeve, and called out in a soothing voice: "Peace."
This sound called Qin Yi back to the long time ago. He slowly lowered his eyes and saw Shen Mu's innocent face. The anger that had just risen in his heart dissipated immediately.
Rolled Adam's apple, didn't say anything, and went to tidy up the needlework beads messed up by Shen Mu.
Shen Mu put down the fiery red wedding dress, stood up, got into Qin Yi's arms, raised her head and pecked lightly under Qin Yi's chin, and said slowly: "Let it mess up, okay. "
From such a close distance, the faint fragrance from Shen Mu's body radiated, making Qin Yi's head swell, and by accident, he agreed: "Okay."
After Shen Mu succeeded, she curled her lips slightly, sat back and continued sewing the wedding dress.
Qin Yi waited until the wisp of orchid fragrance that fascinated him was gone, and then he realized what he had promised. Looking at the table with mixed colors and patterns, he felt uncomfortable as if someone had grabbed his throat.
As soon as she stretched out a finger to tidy up, Shen Mu raised her head and looked at him innocently: "You just promised me."
Qin Yi: "..."
Shen Mu's eyes fell on the finger he had just stretched out again, she pursed her lips, and said as if aggrieved or submissive: "Are you going to go back on your word?"
Qin Yi's fingertips on the outside were as hot as fire, and he hurriedly retracted them, and sat down feeling uncomfortable, and said in a serious tone: "Manly man, what you say is as good as it is, and since I have promised you, I will never go back on it."
Shen Mu laughed immediately, the smile was like a orchid in full bloom, and the fragrance came naturally: "I knew my safety was the best."
Qin Yi's heart trembled slightly when he was hooked by his smile, his whole mind was taken away by Shen Mu, how could he still remember the mess on the table, fingertips touched the ground that Shen Mu had pecked just now, lips curled up With a shallow smile, she pulled off the wedding dress, held the embroidery needle and lowered her head to embroider in a dignified manner.
Shen Mu quietly raised her eyes, seeing that he was obedient and stopped tossing around, lowered his head, rubbed the embroidery needle on his head, and raised his eyebrows lightly.
In this world, there is no man who understands men better than a man. No wonder Ping An was pinched to death by him, who told him to hold his hand and beg him to save him.
This is his own trap, and he can't blame others.
Shen Mu was sewing wedding dresses for Zhou Du and Shen Xi, and Zhou Du was not idle. He spent a few days arranging the new house in a prosperous manner, which echoed the Shen family's joy from a distance, making people feel at ease when they saw it. Feel festive.
After setting up his and Shen Xi's home, he went to Chen Qingshan's home to ask him to write wedding invitations for the villagers.
It wasn't until Zhou Du came to Chen Qingshan's door that he suddenly understood why he felt that Zhou Du and Shen Xi seemed a little peaceful when he was looking at the new house that day.
The original reason is here.
It's just a thing for young people to see each other. After Chen Qingshan thought about it, he smiled and congratulated Zhou Du, and took out a pen and paper to write a happy note for Zhou Du.
Zhou Du brought wedding stickers and wedding cakes made by Shen Xi, and went door-to-door in the village to treat guests.
This shocked the villagers quite a bit, not to mention that Zhou Du has never been with the villagers in person, and the matter of distributing wedding cakes can only be done by rich families. In a village like theirs, find someone to come Just say hello.
From this appearance, it can be seen that Zhou Du attaches great importance to Shen Xi.
Originally, some people in the village thought that Zhou Du was too cold and arrogant to get along with, and they didn't plan to get along with them. They didn't plan to go to Zhou Du's wedding banquet, and they were too embarrassed to refuse the wedding cakes that Zhou Du personally delivered, so they decided to Go bustling.
In the midst of being busy, the time soon entered the evening of the New Year's Eve, and other people's homes were busy having reunion dinners, but the Shen's house was brightly lit all night.
Shen Xi, who is about to be the groom's official, was busy in the kitchen directing while trying on the wedding dress: "Aunt Li, you have to wait for the water to boil before putting it into the pot, don't worry."
"Aunt Wang, the one in your hand should be sliced thinner, it's too thick and it won't be cooked through, and it won't taste good if it's boiled."
"Little Yu'er, hurry up, help me add a fire to the stove, the food in this pot must be cooked with a high fire to taste."
There is no rule in Daqing that people cook the night before they get married, and Shen Xi doesn't want his wedding banquet to be too bad, and he can't cook it by himself, so he can only squeeze time like this.
Shen Mu was extremely helpless towards him, and chased him to put on the wedding dress: "Xiao Xi, forget about those few bites of food, hurry up and get dressed, I'll see if I need to change it."
While staring at the kitchen, Shen Xi looked at the frantic wearing of wedding clothes, and complained: "Little uncle, this is too complicated for you."
Shen Mu was not convinced: "I will marry this once in my life, so it's so complicated, if it's not that I'm running out of time, I'd like to embroider you with the right dragon and phoenix."
Everyone in the kitchen couldn't help laughing out loud when they saw the bickering between uncle and nephew, and persuaded them: "Xiaoxi, it's not that the wedding dress is too complicated, it's that you are too nervous and anxious."
Zhou Du's home is right next to the Shen's kitchen. He just got out of the water room and was going to try on the wedding dress in the bedroom. The door, pushed out, is a small pavilion specially set up by Zhoudu for drinking tea and resting.
There are open windows on three sides of the Shen family's kitchen. Zhou Du is standing in the small pavilion at the moment, and through the windows of the Shen family's kitchen, he can clearly see the situation in the kitchen at a glance.
He saw that Shen Xi didn't know whether he was wearing half of his wedding dress or half of it, and his hair was messy. Although he was anxiously scratching his ears and cheeks, but there was still a happy smile on his face, he couldn't help laughing out loud.
This magnetic laughter was so abrupt that everyone in the kitchen was attracted, turned their heads, and saw Zhou Du standing on the porch outside the kitchen and peeking.
Shen Xi suddenly saw Zhou Du, and now he finally thought about why Zhou Du built a small corridor on the side of the house.
Thinking of his embarrassment at this moment, he didn't care about other things, and hurriedly greeted everyone in the kitchen: "Hurry up, hurry up, close the window."
On the eve of the wedding, the two parties couldn't meet each other, and he was still in such a mess now, he had to give Zhou Du a good influence before the marriage.
His eagerness made everyone in the kitchen laugh a few more times, laughing and laughing, and after the laughing, they still helped Shenxi close the window, blocking Zhou Du's sight.
After Zhou Du couldn't see what was going on in the kitchen, he shook his head, pressed his chest that started to tremble inexplicably, and went back to the room to put on the wedding dress that Shen Mu made for him.
The bright red color didn't suit Zhou Du, but Shen Mu cleverly embroidered many pairs of swan geese on it, and when he shook off the wedding dress, it was a scene of wild geese flying south.
Not only beautiful but also very meaningful.
We will grow old together until death.
Shen Mu used the needle and thread in his hand to bless him and Shen Xi stitch by stitch.
Zhou Du put on this meaningful wedding dress gently, and the corners of his eyes were moist for some reason.
In the past 27 years, he never thought that one day he would have a lover and family of his own.
He always thought that he was abandoned by the heavens and the world when he traveled to this place, but he never thought that this might be the beginning of a new life.
Zhou Du put on his wedding dress, his eyelashes drooping, and under the light of the candlelight, his fingertips rubbed the pair of geese flapping their wings southward at the cuffs little by little.
Today is the last day of the year, and he will leave all the torture and pain of struggle in the past here. Tomorrow is the beginning of the new year. From then on, he will walk out of the dark night full of mud and go to a brand new solitude Belonging to his bright new life.
Zhou Du closed his eyes, a teardrop silently hung under his sharp chin, hanging down, fell to the floor, fell to pieces, like a shackle broken, as beautiful as a butterfly breaking out of a cocoon.
Shen Xi finished the work in the kitchen in a hurry, and it was almost dawn, Shen Mu forcibly carried him back to the room, took rouge and gouache and patiently and carefully applied it to his face bit by bit.
When the slender hand held the slender eyebrow pencil to trace Shenxi's eyebrows, the fingertips were trembling, and the fundus of the eyes was red for no reason.
He suddenly realized that the child he had brought up since he was 15 years old was about to marry someone else today.
At this moment, he kind of realized why Xiaoxi didn't like Ping An so much back then.
Because I am so sorry.
Once Shen Xi crossed this threshold today, he would no longer be the Xiaoxi who was full of satisfaction chasing after him and calling him little uncle.
Not only Shen Mu's eyes were red, Shen Xi's eye sockets were also red, he and his little uncle had lived together for 13 years, and after all the ups and downs, they were no longer father and son, but father and son.
Shen Xi held Shen Mu's slightly trembling hand, his eyes were filled with moisture, and he said in a trembling voice: "Little uncle."
This little uncle brought Shen Mu back to his thoughts, Shen Mu stabilized his mind, and said with a smile: "Don't cry, your makeup will wear off when you cry."
He painted his eyebrows with Shen Xi again: "When you get married, you must be generous and happy. From now on, you will live in harmony with Zhou Du and live happily."
"I see," Shen Xi swallowed back his tears abruptly, and smiled again: "Little uncle will also live a happy life with Aunt Pingan in harmony and beauty."
Shen Mu's pen with a little rouge outlined on the red mole on Shen Xi's right eye, which became more and more colorful, and smiled softly: "Understood, everyone will be well together in the future."
After finishing the makeup, Shen Mu straightened up and went to dress Shen Xi. Today's hair accessories were the highlight, and he had to exert all his energy to weave an exquisite hair accessory.
Shen Xi looked at himself in the bronze mirror who was becoming more and more handsome, and suddenly asked in a heartfelt way: "Little uncle, when did you learn embroidery, eyebrow drawing, and hair braiding?"
These are things that women do, but his little uncle, a man, does better than women. Shen Xi and Shen Mu have lived together for so many years, and they never know when he left.
Perhaps Shen Mu was too concentrated, and while braiding his hair, he took off the hairpin in his mouth. Hearing Shen Xi's question, he blurted out: "That year when I passed by Ping'an Zizui Jinfang, I saw Ping'an I stared intently at the oiran on the stage, thinking he liked it, and when I went to Zuijinfang to treat the girls in the building, I asked them for advice."
After Shen Mu finished speaking, she stared at Shen Xi who was smiling slyly in the mirror for a while, knowing that he was being tricked by Shen Xi, she pulled Shen Xi's hair angrily: "When you grow up, your wings are hard."
Shen Xi was in pain, but she still didn't let Shen Mu go: "So, you locked me in the room that afternoon, and you dressed me up like that, to seduce..."
Shen Mu shouted at him: "Don't say any more!"
Shen Xi's stomach ached from laughing: "Then when I turned over the window and appeared in your room, where are you hiding, little uncle?"
At that time, he searched the whole room but couldn't find Shen Mu, and he still can't figure out where Shen Mu is hiding.
The tips of Shen Mu's ears turned red, could he even say that he was hiding under Ping An's body, the kid with no eyesight actually looked for him at that time.
Shen Mu covered Shen Xi's mouth with a red face, and said angrily, "Shut up!"
Shen Mu didn't say anything, Shen Xi probably guessed that the only place he didn't look for at that time was in Qin Yi's cloak, because Qin Yi's expression at that time was so fierce, as if he was going to swallow him alive, he didn't want to Dare to approach him.
For so many years, he had dreamed several times in the middle of the night, and he woke up frightened by Qin Yi's ferocious expression, and never thought about it carefully.
Now that he knew the reason, the nightmare of the past suddenly became not scary, but rather funny. At that time, Qin Yi must have been terrified, so he went to look for his little uncle through his cloak.
Shen Mu put the red hijab on him: "Stop laughing, laugh again and I will go to your new house to knock on the door with Ping An."
Shen Xi laughed even louder under the hijab: "With the lessons learned from you, little uncle, we will remember to lock the door!"
Shen Mu: "..."
We had to wait until dusk to pick up the relatives, and before dawn in the morning, Zhou Du got up and kept going. Although his family didn't have any elders, not even any relatives or friends, he really had nothing to do.
But he still got up early, because he was so excited that he couldn't sleep at all. The Shen family's courtyard was next door, so he didn't pay attention to anything, so he took the initiative to go over and help a little.
Carrying a table, setting up a stool, and so on, all the women who helped Shen's family praised him outside Shen Xi's room.
It wasn't until after dawn that people came to the village one after another, and Zhou Du went to greet everyone. Today, his face was finally no longer blank, but with a faint smile, and a ray of joy in the smile, with the The exquisite wedding dress on his body matched it perfectly, making people praise a handsome groom at a glance.
The whole day Zhou Du was busy dealing with the guests in the village, whether he knew them or not, he nodded his head to show that everyone knew each other.
As soon as dusk came, he couldn't wait to run and knock on Shenxi's door, making all the guests in the yard laugh.
Amidst the laughter in the courtyard, the door of Shen Xi's room opened. He was dressed in a wedding dress that matched Zhou Du, with a red hijab on his head, holding a piece of red silk in his hand, and Shen Mu helped him out.
Shen Mu smiled and handed the red silk to Zhou Du: "I handed over Xiaoxi to you, and you will be responsible for Xiaoxi's safety and happiness from now on."
Shen Mu took the red silk from Shen Mu's hand, and promised him: "Uncle, please rest assured, I will make Shenxi safe and happy, smooth and worry-free."
Shen Mu nodded and said nothing more.
Zhou Du picked up Shen Xi, carried him out of the room, and carried him all the way to his new house. There was a wedding hall in the living room, but neither Zhou Du nor Shen Xi had parents, and they only held worship to heaven and earth and husband and wife.
Just when Zhou Du was about to lead Shen Xi into the bridal chamber, Shen Xi, who had been silent all this time, suddenly smiled in his ear and said, "You must remember to lock the door later!"
The author has something to say: I have received the nutrient solution, and I will show it to you tomorrow.
