The country is not as pretty as the beauty

As the sky was getting dark, Xue Li arrived home with the welcoming team and the sedan chair carried by the eight people.

When we got home, it was already dark, the Xue family was lit up and down, and a big fire was burning in the courtyard of the cave dwelling. The Xue family looked more lively than the Liu family, because there were more people, but it was also more chaotic. "Li" The people on the side of the Xue family are more easy-going, most of them are folks, and there are also members of the Xue family clan.

Xue's mother came out, because she had waited for a long time, knowing that the Liu family must be embarrassing Xue Li, so she was a little unhappy. When Xue Li got off the horse, she hurried over to see her son.

"Did the Liu family make things difficult for you?"

When Xue Li returned to the village after traveling for so long, he was in a good mood. He could only shake his head at what his mother said: "Mom, no, it was delayed on the way."

Xue's mother touched Xue Li's face and said distressedly: "It's all frozen like this, so this etiquette will be avoided. Go back to your room."

It is a lucky day at this time that I can't break the custom because of myself and wronged the person in the sedan chair: "Huan'er will marry me, if all these are avoided, no."

Mother Xue had no choice but to follow the usual practice, and Xue Li welcomed Liu Huan out.

"My son-in-law!"

After that, Xue's mother asked several Xue's family members to spread carpets on the ground in turn, let Liu Huan pass by, and stepped over the prepared saddle at the door of the house to pay homage. According to the custom, the bride should cover her face with the fan she brought. , until worship.

The same is true of Liuhuan. From the moment she came down, the villagers were curious about what the bride looked like. They only heard that she was the best among the women in Hedong, but they had never seen it before. Only Liu Huan could tear off the fan.

"Don't spread out the painting fan to cover up the stagnant talents in the spring mountains. If the reunion is the bright moon, there must be sweet-scented osmanthus blooming." Xue Li blurted out. Children say that the bride is good-looking, let alone those unmarried middle-aged men.

"Mother Xue is so lucky to have such a beautiful woman as a daughter-in-law." Immediately, some people began to talk about envy.

Mother Xue greeted her with a smiling face, Liu Huan heard it, her face was slightly flushed.

The six ceremonies are all over for the marriage ceremony, and the next step is to enter the bridal chamber.

People arranged by Xue's family welcomed Liu Huan into the new house, Xue Li needed to accompany the guests outside, Liu Huan sat in front of the bed and waited like those newlyweds, she had been waiting for a day, and she didn't care about this moment.

Xue Li married the daughter of a big clan, so others envied him and flattered him. Those who usually look down on him because of their talent and arrogance also came.

Xue Li doesn't hold grudges, and he is very grateful to everyone who comes to support him. There are still some Xue parents who need Xue Li to accompany them. Xue Li is very thin and doesn't know how to drink. After three rounds of drinking, Xue Li is a little drunk. The folks stopped embarrassing him to let him continue drinking.

"Okay, if you drink Brother Xue again, you won't be able to enjoy your wedding night, let's forgive him!" After saying this, everyone burst into laughter.

Xue Li blushed, the so-called wedding night made him a little inexplicably embarrassed.

Made an accompaniment laugh, and made a bow, "Thank you!"

The night was getting darker, the people who came were leaving one after another, the Xue family was gradually deserted, the rest were Xue Li's friends when he was studying, and the neighbor's family was young, they were all about the same age, and they hadn't reached the crown yet, but there were a few of them I have already obtained the ranking in the state examination, and I only have to wait for the imperial examination two years later.

Xue's family's financial situation cannot allow Xue Li to study in the academy and become a student to directly take the imperial examination, so he can only pass the state and county examinations to qualify for the imperial examination. This year's imperial examination has passed, and it will take three years to wait for the state examination. Also two years later.

At night, the whole house became quiet, only his own family was left in the Xue family, Xue Li was lying on the table, the stamina of the wine was very strong, which made him a little unconscious.

"Go back to your room!" Mother Xue patted him lightly.

Xue Li shook his head, he could hear his mother's words, but he didn't want to go back to the room because he didn't know how to face it next.

"We have to face it anyway." Mother Xue sighed, feeling very helpless. She caused all these things by herself, and she was married with her fingertips. She concealed Xue Li's identity, which resulted in the marriage contract being retained like this.

Hearing his mother's words, Xue Li burst into tears in his mother's arms.

"She will understand." Mother Xue wiped her son's tears and took him to the wedding room.

Xue Li was still a little hesitant. Drunk people are actually the most sober. They appear drowsy on the surface, but they are clear in their hearts. He knows exactly what he wants. Alcohol can strengthen courage, indeed!

"Go."

Xue Li gently opened the door, Liu Huanzao glanced at her, did not speak, only smiled, Xue Li naturally smiled back, turned around, Xue mother nodded, Xue Li closed the door.

"Did I keep you waiting again?" Xue Li walked over and said such a sentence. I don't know if it was because he was drunk, but he didn't get a reply. All it was was Liu Huan's very gentle movement. Hot forehead.

"You don't know how to drink, why are you still so brave."

Although Xue Li looks like a man, he doesn't drink alcohol.

"The etiquette is what it should be. Let's talk about the big day, wouldn't it be a joke that I, a general, can't drink afterward?"

The two of them waited for this day for a long time, Xue Li waited for three months, but it seemed like three years, Liu Huan waited for 16 years, but it seemed like a lifetime, finally it finally came.

"Remember what I told you last month?"

"How can I not remember!" Liu Huan replied quickly, obviously this was what she expected Xue Li to ask.

Xue Li sat down, looked at Liu Huan, and immediately looked away, looking around, his body couldn't help himself, so repeated, Liu Huan was a little funny, but Xue Li was so embarrassed that he couldn't speak.

"Actually, I..." Xue Li thought to himself that he was already drunk anyway, so he was not afraid of anything, so he went all out, and wanted to speak, but Liu Huan blocked his mouth.

"I know what you're trying to say!"

Xue Li was taken aback, did she know?

"Actually, I knew it when I was young. How can I not know if I get along often? I know that your family has something to hide, so I haven't told anyone, including your daughter!"

Xue Li stared in surprise, but he was also relieved when he saw Liu Huan so calm and composed, so she knew it all.

"How did you know when you were young? I don't remember doing anything."

Liu Huan smiled: "You don't remember? You got dirty all over because of playing around, and I was afraid that my mother would punish me, so I had no choice but to take you to my house to take a bath, and I brought you my brother's clothes. At that time."

Xue Li thought about it carefully, and there was indeed such a thing, but at that time, when he was young, how could a child think of this, even Xue Li himself forgot, he did not expect Liu Huan's thoughts to be so meticulous when he was young.

"I thought you were ignorant and insisted on marrying me. Now do you know why I don't want to marry you?"

Liu Huan nodded

"I'm sorry I was ignorant when I was a child, and made a random promise to protect you." Xue Li lowered his head, still not daring to face the beauty.

"Is it in your heart that you can't protect me for the rest of your life because you are not a man? Remember what I told you when you came to me that night."

Xue Li recalled that night, he secretly ran into Liu's house to look for Liu Huan, "Could it be?" Only then did Xue Li suddenly realize.

"Yes, I wanted to mention you at that time, but if you don't say it, I want to wait for you to say it yourself."

"But why, you still do this after you know?"

"I said, because I like it, what is marriage? Does it have to be a marriage between a man and a woman, and then have children, and then only life is left? I don't want this kind of life." Liu Huan was a little angry with Xue Li He was stupid and sat with his back to Xue Li.

Xue Li got up and walked over, held Liu Huan's hand and smiled wryly: "So you knew it all along, I thought you would blame me, Xue Li, for delaying your life after you found out."

"Forever? Do I, Liu Huan, have to marry like those ladies from all over the world, and then spend my whole life with a half-hearted man?" His voice became louder and louder, with complaints in his tone, and a hint of pedantry towards Xue Li. dissatisfaction.

Xue Li shook his head, saw her thoughts, and knew that he had said something wrong, "You are my daughter-in-law, so naturally you can't be compared with others. Xue Li has been a beloved man in this life, and his life will not be in vain."

"Did my elder brothers make things difficult for you today?" Liu Huan tried to ask Xue Li, Xue Li shook his head.

"You're not telling the truth again." Liu Huan seemed a little displeased with his concealment.

"They are doing this because you are important to them, and I am very happy to have a wife who is valued by everyone!"

"You, it's always like this, aren't you afraid of losing yourself?"

"The greatest luck is already there, am I still afraid of losing money?"

After hearing these words, Liu Huan's heart felt a little hot, and her face flushed. She felt that everything was not worth it, and all the waiting was worth it.

It was snowing outside, the cold wind was blowing, and there was a charcoal fire inside the house, so it wasn't that cold, but Xue's residence was not as airtight as Liu's attic.

"I have wronged you by letting you marry into my family." Xue Li held the lady in his arms, not saying much but with affection?

The two of them are not sleepy yet, because they opened up their hearts that night, so there are many things to say, and there are also many things to say, words from the heart, words from depression, and words of love.

Xue Li found some thick clothes and put them on Liu Huan, and closed the doors and windows tightly.

"You have said this a hundred times, and I don't know how to reply to you."

Xue Li's expression faded, and he touched the back of his head: "Is there any?"

The wedding room is Xue Li's room. The study and the bedroom are added together. There is a bookshelf on one side of the bed. In the small room, except for a round table and a bed, the rest are books, and there is also a desk. The books are neatly arranged, some of them are very old, it can be seen that Xue Li has already figured it out.

Liu Huan was very curious about these things, walked over, touched the bookshelf, there was not a trace of dust on the bookshelf, there were many kinds of books, military books, poems, involving a wide range of aspects, and Xue Li had read them all.

"You also like to read books, but you still gave me some books from my husband, which caused you to be punished." Xue Li said with satisfaction after watching the lady's every move.

The author has something to say: There are no ranking days, so I haven't updated much. I'm sorry that I'm not in a good mood.
