The nine princesses of the East Palace

It was very late, probably the worms and birds by the river were too low-pitched, I was drowsy and wanted to sleep, and I don’t remember how I got back to the tent in the end.

The relationship between Gu Xiaowu, He Shi and his cousin has become very good since he shot the bat a few days ago, He Shi and his cousin are too annoying, always dragging Gu Xiaowu to drink, he has such a big gash on his leg , how can you drink too much?The medical officer told him not to drink.

He said no to drink every time, but I could always find him from Heshi and his cousin's drinking table.One day, I caught him drinking again. He was holding a large bowl of wine and was about to toast with He Shi and his cousin. I was so angry that I rushed in, snatched his wine bowl, and scolded him. a meal.

He was pretty well-behaved, he didn't refute a word, instead he stared at me unblinkingly with his bright eyes open, the corners of his mouth pursed, as if he wanted to laugh.I can't help but pull him up and leave.Before I got out of the tent, I heard my cousin say inside: "People from the Central Plains are afraid of wives."

As soon as I heard it, I couldn't help walking faster.Gu Xiaowu followed me while laughing, I pinched him, turned my head and said: "Don't laugh, and don't drink with them anymore."

"Got it, lady." He still smiled and put his head in front of my eyes.

My face became hot, and I pushed him away, "Don't bark."

He said: "In our Central Plains, after getting married, a man calls a woman a 'mother', and a woman calls a man a 'husband'. We are about to get married. You are my wife and I am your husband. I didn't bark. "

I didn't know how to say it for a while, so I just said: "That will be in the future, we are not married yet."

"It's not easy." After saying that, he dragged me away.The wind was blowing, and the grass on both sides was swaying. He kept pulling me and ran to the place where the Danchi people usually hold sacrificial ceremonies, and then stopped.

Achnatherum splendens was stepped on by us, making a creaking sound.

I asked, "What did you bring me here for?"

He smiled and said to me: "You put your right hand on top of your left hand, uh, that's it." Then, he made a demonstration, and I put my hand on it as he said, and looked at him intently .

When he saw that I was done, he put his left hand on his right and made similar movements to mine.

"And then?" I asked.

"Then, you have to worship the sky and the earth first." He said.

"Oh." I said, and hurriedly bowed.

"No, no, slow down, you are praying with me." He said.

I stood up again, "Can I worship?"

He nodded and said, "Bow to heaven and earth."

I saw him bending over to pray, so I hurriedly prayed with him.

He went on to say: "Now we have to worship the high hall."

"What is Gaotang?" I asked again.

"Gaotang is the father and mother, and worshiping Gaotang is worshiping the father and mother. My parents are in the N Dynasty, that is, the southeast. We will worship the southeast in a while." He said, "Okay, now we will pay respects to Gaotang."

I was confused and didn't understand much, so I did as he said.

After the second prayer, he said there was a third prayer, which was to salute face to face.I just heard him say: "Husband and wife pray to each other." I just looked up after I bowed to him, and I saw him laughing at me and calling out: "Lady."

His voice was like the wind, but soft like the sound of a piano, which made my ears go soft. At that moment, I was stunned. It turned out that this was their wedding ceremony in the Central Plains. He didn't tell me before, and I was so angry that I didn't know. say what.Forget it, anyway, our wedding is only two days away, sooner or later.

"Don't be dumbfounded." Seeing me in a daze, he seemed a little dissatisfied, "You have to call me 'Husband'."

When I thought about it, he already called me my wife, and it wouldn't hurt me to call him Husband, so I opened my voice and called, "Husband."

"Hey." He replied with a smile, there seemed to be an indelible tenderness in his eyes, and he entangled me so tightly that I didn't dare to look at him anymore.

I walked out of the grass with my head down, and he followed me at some point, and held my hand. I felt his hand was warm, and the warmth warmed my heart.

As I was walking, I kicked a stone and almost fell down. Fortunately, he held me, otherwise I would have fallen on my back.

"You're so stupid, you can't even walk, and a three-year-old can walk more steadily than you," he said.

"You are stupid, your whole family is stupid." I was so angry that I immediately retorted.

Instead of being angry, he smiled, "My whole family is stupid, but you are the most stupid."

"What does this have to do with me?"

He said, "You belong to my family too."

"I'm not yet."

"It was just now."

……

We argued again on this issue, and we walked to the river where we caught fireflies that day.

This is the warmest place in Danchi, with flowers blooming all year round and green grass. When I came to Danchi, I liked to come here, take off my shoes and soak my feet in the warm river water , not to mention how comfortable it is.

I quarreled with Gu Xiaowu all the way, but in the end I won, he was choked up by me, and I happily walked to the river and sat down. Like before, I took off my shoes and put my feet into the water .

Gu Xiaowu also sat down and frowned when he saw me carelessly paddling the water.He glanced at my feet, then said, "You can't do this again in the future."

"How?" I asked back.

He said: "In our Central Plains, girls' feet are not allowed to be shown to men."

When I heard it, I asked curiously, "So what if you read it?"

He said: "After seeing it, I want to marry her and go home."

I was taken aback, and before I could speak, I heard him say again: "You are married, you should be more careful in the future, only I can see your feet, you know?"

I opened my mouth and didn't say a word for a long time. Seeing that I didn't make a sound, he asked again: "Do you understand?"

All I could say was, "Got it."

He seemed satisfied, holding a piece of dogtail grass in his mouth, holding his hands by his side, looking very comfortable.

We didn't stay for long when I heard A'Du calling me from nearby. I had just put on my shoes when A'Du came over here. I waved at her: "I'm here."

"Princess, I found you." A'Du said.

"what happened?"

"Your master is here, looking for you." A'Du said.

"Master? Where is he? I'll go find him right away." I said excitedly.

"It's right in front of the tent. Come with me." A'Du said.

I haven't seen Master for a long time, so I quickened my pace immediately and walked a long way, only to realize that Gu Xiaowu didn't keep up.

I turned around and saw him standing not far from me, walking slowly, his expression was not as good as before.

I went back again, pulled him up, and said with a smile: "Xiao Wu, my master is here. He is very powerful. Come with me to see him."

"Really? How powerful is it?" He seemed to disagree.

I thought about it, and then said: "Master is the most powerful person in the world. From childhood to adulthood, he will help me solve any troubles I encounter."

His face was a little heavy, and he didn't speak for a long time.I felt that he seemed to have a problem with the master, and he didn't want to see the master with me at all, because he walked slowly.

Sure enough, after a while, he said: "I have injured my leg, so go back and rest first, and I won't see your master."
