Qinghe Pastoral

In the middle of the night, there was the sound of pattering raindrops outside the house. Lin Mu, who had finally fallen asleep, woke up suddenly, but when he opened his eyes, he saw only darkness.

In such a quiet night, the sound of rain outside the house was especially loud. Lin Mu's consciousness became more and more clear, and he was not sure if he just fell asleep.

Lin Mu is a person who sleeps very lightly, and tomorrow is such a big day, it is even more difficult to sleep.Thinking about tomorrow being the groom's official, at least he couldn't lose his energy, so he closed his eyes and forced himself to fall asleep.

However, with the passage of time, many memories and thoughts came to my brain, and my mind began to think, and my consciousness became clearer and clearer, without any sleepiness.

In his seventeen years of life, he has been wronged, dangerous, and displaced, but he is so lucky. Everything is as if destiny guided him. He came to Qinghe Village and met the love of his life.

Recalling the details of the two years with Ji Ruixiu, Ji Ruixiu has always been like a tall and straight giant tree, sheltering him from the wind and rain, protecting him and loving him, and fulfilling everything for him.

The sound of Mu'er called by Ji Ruixiu resounded in Lin Mu's head, and his handsome and heroic face flashed across, his heart throbbed even at this moment.It's so good that he can meet Ji Ruixiu; it's so good that they love each other; it's so good that they will soon have a hundred-year friendship. From now on, they will live and die together in the same cave.

Lin Mu's hand was groping in the dark, and after a while, he held the jade pendant beside his pillow in his hand and put it on his heart, as if Ji Ruixiu was sleeping beside him, making him feel at ease and nostalgic.

This pre-autumn rain is getting heavier and heavier, and the night is getting darker. The candles in the house of Lin Sheng and his wife are flickering, and the light through the paper window looks brighter in the rainy night.

"Go to sleep, you have to get up early tomorrow."

Xu Xiuqin caressed the jade bracelet on her wrist, thinking of the past ten years, a little joy, a little excitement, a little bitterness.

Time flies too fast, Lin Mu has grown up in a blink of an eye, and will soon put on a wedding dress, and make a century-old friendship with the one he loves.

Maybe ten years, maybe 20 years, their husband and wife will grow old and even die.The rest of Lin Mu's life is still very long, but the time they can be together is limited. Fortunately, there will be a person who is closest to him who will love him and accompany him through the cycle of seasons in spring, summer, autumn and winter.

Thinking of this, Xu Xiuqin smiled slightly, and glanced at Lin Chen's peaceful sleeping face on the wooden bed. In this life, God has always been good to her.

"It's raining so hard, does your leg hurt?"

Since Lin Sheng was injured, not only was his leg limped, but whenever it rained or snowed, his injured leg often ached. Seeing that it was raining tonight, Xu Xiuqin couldn't help feeling worried again.

"I've been drinking medicine and rubbing medicinal wine for a while, and it's much better. I'm a big man, so this pain is nothing, but if the rain doesn't stop, it will be troublesome to hold a wedding banquet tomorrow."

Hearing the sound of the rain outside the house, Lin Sheng felt a little depressed. If it really happened to be raining, the wedding banquet would be difficult.

"This season is like this, maybe tomorrow morning will be clear and clear, go to sleep."

Lin Sheng responded, extinguished the candle, and the room was pitch black. He approached Xu Xiuqin, put his arms around her waist and closed his eyes, hoping that tomorrow would be a sunny day.

Xu Tiangong really heard Lin Sheng's prayer. At the fifth watch, the rain gradually stopped, and the weather would be fine during the day.

Lin Mu woke up when the sky was dim. He got up and lit a candle. He was relieved to hear that there was no sound of rain outside the house.

He reckoned that he had only slept for two hours, his mind was a little drowsy, but his consciousness was clear, and his heart was excited and a little nervous.

He put on a coat and walked out of the house. The yard was a little muddy, but the sun should have dried up after an hour.

He walked to the well, fetched half a bucket of water, poured a little into the palm of his hand, and patted his cheek.The water was cold in the morning, and he was jolted up, but the groggyness in his mind was gone.

"Mu'er, what did you do early in the morning?"

While Lin Mu was feeling refreshed, he was startled when he heard such a voice, and almost threw the wooden ladle out of his hand.

But he realized that it was Xu Xiuqin's voice, so he turned around and patted his chest.

"Mom, I'm startled."

"It seems that my Mu'er is thinking about becoming the bridegroom's official. She didn't sleep well all night, but she got up early and the water was cold. It rained again last night, so be careful of freezing."

Knowing son is like mother, so it's not just their husband and wife who didn't sleep well last night?

"It's okay, it's very cool, mother, why did you get up so early?"

"It's getting late. In less than an hour, someone from the family will come to your door. Mother will cook you a delicious meal. You will be greeted and delivered today. You must have a full meal."

Lin Mu's face was cold, but his heart felt warm. His mother was always so considerate and caring.Lin Mu stepped forward, held Xu Xiuqin in his arms, and softly called mother.

Seeing Lin Mu acting like a baby, Xu Xiuqin felt very soft in her heart. Even if she was about to get married, Lin Mu was still a child in front of her.

"You're about to get married, why are you still acting like a child?"

Even though he said that, he couldn't hide the joy and doting in his tone. Lin Mu smiled and said, "With Mother, Mu'er will always be a child."

Xu Xiuqin patted Lin Mu's head with a smile and said, "Okay, since I got up so early, let's go to the kitchen with my mother."

Of course Lin Mu agreed, and took Xu Xiuqin's arm to the kitchen.

The whole family was eating breakfast when Bai Junyan and Mrs. Zhou came to the door. Bai Junyan obviously dressed up specially, he was flirtatious and handsome. I don't know how many men and women will fall into his charm today.

"Uncle, Nanny, Brother Dabao, Brother Xun, have you eaten yet?"

"Eat, the nanny got up earlier today, we can eat together, don't worry about us, eat more, or you will be hungry by then."

Nanny Zhou was all smiles, half of her body was buried in the ground, and she regretted and blamed herself for more than ten years, but there is still such a day.She was so happy that she woke up at five o'clock, and went to burn incense for the masters of the Bai family, hoping that they would be at ease on their way to Huangquan.

For Lin Mu's family, they are already familiar with each other, and there is no need for them to greet them.

As soon as the bowls and chopsticks were put down, Zhou Dashan came to the door with a dressed-up nanny invited from the county. Only then did Lin Mu realize that it was getting late, and his heart became more and more excited and nervous.

Xu Xiuqin hurriedly stood up to say hello, and when Nanny Zhou saw it, she thoughtfully carried all the food in the courtyard into the kitchen.

The surname of the dress-up nun is Li, and she is well-known in Jing'an County. She has dressed countless brides and grooms, and she has seen all the beautiful and ugly ones.

But when she saw Lin Mu in the red wedding dress, she still couldn't help but stare.

Lin Mu has a delicate appearance, and usually only likes to wear plain clothes, like a white lotus on water, clean and pure without any dust.Putting on this wedding dress now, it feels another feeling, like the most brilliant peach blossom in spring, elegant but with a bit of brilliance, really beautiful.

"Young master is really good-looking, and he is really a perfect match with Young Master Ji."

Lin Mu blushed when he was told, and his already nervous heart was pounding even more.

"I've never seen Mu'er wear bright colors, today's outfit is really pretty."

Lin Zian's words drew echoes, and Lin Mu became more and more embarrassed, so he had to sit obediently and wait for the groom to comb his hair.

"Young master's face is translucent and flawless, but you don't need to cleanse your face. How about putting on some rouge to make it more beautiful?"

It is common for Dayu to marry men. Some men can't help being a bit feminine. To make their faces look better, they don't mind putting on some rouge, but Lin Mu is not sensitive.

"No, just comb your hair."

Hearing what Lin Muru said, Lin Zian and Liu Liping looked at each other and saw smiles on both faces.

"Our Mu'er is a natural beauty, but putting on rouge and gouache makes her look tacky."

Nanny Li was right in thinking, since she really didn't need to paint on the young master's appearance, she also combed Lin Mu's hair as she wanted.

Inside, the groom is dressing up, and the outside of the house is also very lively, and the porch tied with red silk is even more crowded with people, drinking wine and talking nonsense.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, people were already coming and going in Lin Mu's house. Accompanied by the sound of gongs and drums, the wedding party was gradually approaching. There were even children following the wedding team, shouting with joy.

With the sound of firecrackers, Ji Ruixiu jumped off the horse, wearing a jade crown and red clothes, standing tall and handsome, the little girl standing in front of the door couldn't help but blush when she saw her, and felt extremely shameful.

After getting off the horse, Ji Ruixiu, dressed in red, walked in front, Xiao Jue and Wei Qian followed behind, and then there was a mighty procession to meet the bride. This scene was so spectacular that the villagers were stunned. I sigh that Ji's family is rich.

A few people headed by Lin Zi'an and Liu Liping blocked the door and refused to let in. Xiao Jue and Wei Qian had all sorts of schemes and good words, and scattered big red envelopes one by one, causing a lot of looting. Taking advantage of this chaotic scene, it took a lot of money After a while, the wedding reception team entered the courtyard.

Ji Ruixiu and he valued this wedding banquet, usually he doesn't show off or show off, but this time he is the best in everything.There were nine broken pieces of silver in the red envelope, which meant a long time, and the villagers who snatched it felt that they had received a windfall and were very happy.Those who didn't grab it all beat their chests and stamped their feet, hoping to sprinkle it again.

As the welcoming team entered the courtyard, all eyes in the courtyard fell on Ji Ruixiu.Ji Ruixiu has sword eyebrows, star eyes, heroic majesty, and usually wears Moxuan clothes, looking rigid and serious.Today, Yuguanhong wears a rare smile on his face, but it softens a lot.

Ji Ruixiu stepped forward to salute Lin Sheng and his wife and Bai Junyan. , said, "Father, mother, uncle, I'm here to pick up Mu'er."

A long time ago, Ji Ruixiu called a few people like this, but for some reason, today it made people look very moved, Xu Xiuqin's eyes were slightly red, but there was a loving smile on her face.

"Okay, let's go into the house, lead Mu'er out, and receive the guests."

Ji Ruixiu answered yes, and impatiently walked to Lin Mu's room.

He was familiar with this short distance of dozens of steps, and he had walked it countless times, but unlike this time, every time he took a step, he felt that his whole heart was trembling with excitement and joy.

This is his sweetheart who is engraved in his flesh and blood at a glance, and to him, the most important, most precious, and most beloved person.From now on, nothing in the world can separate them.
