Chapter 148 Autumn? Bay Laurel

October cinnamon, autumn is high and crisp, golden flowers hang all over the branches, and the whole city is soaked in sweet and greasy fragrance.

Autumn in Guangzhou comes quietly. Before you know it, the cool wind dissipates the heat and the sunshine becomes soft.In a block park in Liwan, children in twos and threes chased and played in the play area, and the elderly sat on benches with their eyes squinted, chatting and enjoying the rare good weather.

A little toddler boy climbed onto the rock climbing board of the multi-purpose slide, shouting happily.The sound disturbed the young girl reading in the shade of the tree. The girl looked left and right, looking for her parents: "Whose child? Be careful not to fall and fall."

"Baby!" An old lady with silver hair hurried over, "Oh, you can't climb that one, it's too dangerous, come down quickly... be careful!"

The little baby was already unstable, and was distracted by grandma's call, and slipped off the rock climbing board as soon as his hands were loosened.Fortunately, the old lady had already run up to her, she threw herself forward, put her hands together, and hugged him firmly in her arms.

The little boy was frightened and burst into tears. The old lady hugged him and patted him comfortingly, trying to get up, but a look of pain suddenly appeared on her old face, and she fell down again with an "ouch".

Probably sprained her joints, she couldn't stand up at all, struggling to ask for help from the people next to her: "Help me... Oh, I fell to death, please help me, give me a hand..."

The girl stretched out her hand to help her, but she was held back by her companions. Although the pedestrians on one side surrounded her, none of them dared to go up to help——people's hearts are not old these days, and no one knows what kind of support this will bring to him. the price.

"Ma'am, bear with me, I'll call 110 for you right away." The girl was soft-hearted, and although she didn't dare to rescue her rashly, she still took out her mobile phone and started calling the police.

The old man on the ground turned pale, tremblingly hugged his crying grandson, and begged, "Oh... who can help me pick up the baby first... I promise I won't blackmail you...you can leave a video for proof... "

One more thing is worse than one less thing, not to mention that some people called 110, and passers-by comforted her: "It's okay, the police will be here soon, please bear with it..."

The pigeons pecking at the roadside suddenly flew up, and there was a gust of wind. A tall and thin figure passed through the crowd, leaned over and picked up the child on the ground, hugged the child in his arms, and patted it gently twice.

The little boy burst into tears, looking at the person in front of him with big black grape-like eyes, as if influenced by some invisible magic power, he stopped crying automatically.

"Auntie, be careful." The man bent down, supported the old man's shoulder with one hand, and gently straightened her twisted body, "You may have hurt your bones, don't get up for now, wait for the doctor to come Let me help you deal with it."

The old man felt much more comfortable with his help, and wiped his sweat while saying, "Oh, thank you!"

The man shook his head, and the little boy in his arms suddenly started babbling, so he put the child down, and took out a strawberry lollipop from his windbreaker pocket: "Can I give it to you?"

The little boy smiled happily.The crowd around the audience slowly dispersed, whispering to each other about this daring man-someone dares to help the elderly and hold children these days, maybe the family has too much money to burn?

"Sir, you are really a good person." The girl who called the police before was very moved, and said to the man, "Don't worry, I just took a video for you. If there is any dispute, I can testify for you."

The man was startled, and smiled slightly: "It's okay... But thank you anyway."

"Hey, aren't you afraid of being blackmailed?"

"...It's okay, I brought my credit card." He said half-jokingly.

Under the bright sunlight, his smile seemed to have a deceptive magic power, and the girl's face turned red instantly—this man is also too good-looking!

He has an extremely dignified face, with sword-like eyebrows and star-eyed eyes, handsome and elegant, a strange combination of masculinity and bookishness, but his age is strangely invisible—looking at his face, he is even more perfect than idols in their early twenties, His demeanor and demeanor are that of a middle-aged man, but his hair is gray. Except for the black sideburns and the nape of his neck, the rest of the hair is gray and white.

Saying that he is forty doesn't seem too old, and saying that he is twenty doesn't seem too young.

"But, can I leave a WeChat message?" The girl stammered, "I'll forward the video to you."

When the old lady on the ground heard it, she immediately clarified loudly: "Oh, what video do you want, young man, don't worry, I won't blackmail you. I'm not that kind of person. You will be rewarded for being good!"

The man smiled warmly, and found that the little boy was pulling his trouser legs, so he bent down and picked up the child: "What's the matter, kid? Don't be afraid, the doctor will be here soon, can you take grandma to the hospital?"

Xiaowa liked him very much, hugged his neck and babbled and said words that no one could understand.The girl on one side looked at Xiaowa, then at him, rolled her eyes slightly, and asked tentatively: "You are very good at coaxing children, do you have children too?"

"Huh? No, maybe he just likes sugar."

"Then have you got married?" The girl blushed, summoning up the courage to ask Sanlian, "Do you have a girlfriend? Can you add a WeChat account?"

"..." The man finally realized that he had been approached, touched the tip of his nose in embarrassment, and was about to refuse, when a small shadow suddenly appeared beside him, a tall and big young boy stood behind him, his sharp eyes swept over The girl, speak:

"Dad, who is this sister?"

"..." The man was breathless, and the veins on his forehead burst twice. Just as he was about to speak, the boy took the baby from his hand: "Dad, are you on a blind date? Didn't you promise me not to marry again?" ?"

The man paused for a moment, narrowed his eyes slightly, gritted his back teeth and said, "Okay, Dad will do whatever you want."

The girl looked left and right, and opened her mouth in astonishment—this boy seems to be 20 years old, right?He actually has such a big child?How old is he?

The atmosphere at the scene was extremely embarrassing for a time, but fortunately 110 arrived in time and rescued the three people who were caught in unnecessary emotional entanglements.

The man gave a rough explanation of the situation to the 110 police, and was about to leave: "Ma'am, I have nothing to do, I'm leaving first, I wish you a speedy recovery."

"Oh thank you, I don't even know your name." The old lady said gratefully while lying on the stretcher.

"You're welcome, it's easy." The man waved his hand with a smile, and looked at the dark-faced "son" beside him, who obediently handed over the child in his hand to the police.

The two were about to leave when the girl who had hit on a conversation before followed her and asked unwillingly: "Well, sir, can I add a WeChat account? I can contact you in case there is any follow-up to today's incident."

"Oh girl, aren't you cursing me? They say I'm not blackmailing people anymore, so what can I do next!" the old lady said loudly, and then put on a smiling face and waved to the "father and son": "Go away!" , let's go." Lin Lin blinked playfully.

The boy bared his teeth and hooked his "father" on the neck: "Let's go dad!"

Under the bright sunshine, the two turned out of the park, and the boy stretched out his hand: "Brother, give me both the household registration booklet and ID card, and I will put them together, so it will be convenient to do it later."

"Why don't you call me Dad?" The man squinted at him, "Aren't you not allowed to remarry? Why do you want my household registration book?"

The boy raised his eyebrows and smiled, took out his ID card and household registration book from his windbreaker pocket, and put them together with his own——Xiao Su, Rong Rui.

"The bigger you are, the more ugly you are!" Xiao Su lightly reprimanded, "If you have the ability, wait for your father to come, so why don't you tell me to try again!"

"I don't have the skills, I just dare to play wild with you, okay?" Rong Rui put his ID into his backpack and said solemnly, "Who told you to flirt with that woman? I'm being polite if I didn't get angry on the spot! I'm still angry now Well, you kiss me so I can forgive you."

"It's the other way around!" Xiao Su laughed angrily at him, "I was called a divorced man by you, and brought you such a big oil bottle, I'm still angry."

"Then I'll kiss you, please forgive me." Rong Rui pinched his chin and kissed him quickly.

"...you're crazy!" Xiao Su hurriedly pushed him away, "In broad daylight, don't mess around on the street!"

Rong Rui put his hands in his trouser pockets, tilted his head and smiled at him, his teeth were white under the sun, and he was youthful.

Xiao Su suddenly lost all anger.

In fact, he wasn't angry at all.

How could he be angry with such a boy?

The greatest luck in his life is here, and it's too late to cherish it!

"Let's go, let's get down to business first." Rong Rui had already seen that he was stern, and put his arms around his shoulders, "The Civil Affairs Bureau should be off work later!"

Half an hour later, the freshly baked red book was stamped with a steel seal, and underneath it was a double headshot of the two of them, with a beaming red background.

As the sun set, the two walked side by side on the tree-lined avenue filled with dark fragrance. The major events in life were settled, and their hearts were full of unspeakable happiness, but their mouths didn't want to say anything, they just wanted to walk side by side silently like this , go on.

"Why do you have to come to Guangzhou to register?" After a long time, Xiao Su asked, "Isn't it the same in Beijing or Jingchuan?"

"It's different." Rong Rui said, "This is my hometown. My parents, grandparents, and great-grandparents all got married here."

Xiao Su always thought he was from the north, but he didn't expect his native place to be in Guangzhou: "Why? Is it traditional, or is it a family motto or something?"

Rong Rui looked up at the sky, and said mysteriously: "Take you to a place, and you will know."

Accompanied by the afterglow of the sunset, they walked into an alley, and a quaint Xiguan house appeared in front of them. On both sides of the carved three-story gate, there were stone-carved couplets. ", on the plaque under the eaves, there are two regular script characters of Zhaizhuang Zhongzheng-Rong Zhai.

"This is..." Xiao Su looked at the nameplate of the cultural relic protection unit on the wall, and asked in confusion, "Your ancestral house?"

Rong Rui nodded, handed a note to the old man on duty in the gatehouse, and pulled Xiao Su into the gate.

"This is the house built by my ancestors in the late Qing Dynasty. It is one of the most complete Xiguan houses in Guangzhou." Standing on the stone floor behind the screen wall, Rong Rui looked around and said to Xiao Su, "The whole house has four entrances and three bays. This is the front yard, a place where family members discuss affairs and meet guests."

Xiao Su raised his head and looked around, amazed, Rong Zhai was built extremely carefully, with carved beams and painted buildings, antique and elegant, although it has been baptized by the years, it is still majestic and majestic.

Rong Rui took his hand, walked through the hallway on the side, went upstairs along the spiral staircase, and walked into the second courtyard.Standing on the balcony surrounded by carved guardrails, the eyes are suddenly bright. The main building with two entrances in the middle is a combination of Chinese and Western styles. It has Chinese-style sill windows and Western-style Roman columns. The style is bold and not obtrusive.

The most astonishing thing is that there is a huge arched dome connected by an iron frame between the two buildings, inlaid with glass, forming a fully enclosed western-style patio.The sunset shines on the granite ground through the stained glass, which is colorful and dazzling.

"It's so beautiful..." Xiao Su praised, "It's really not easy for such a beautiful house to be preserved until now."

"Actually, Guangzhou was almost destroyed during the bombing, and many things were rebuilt after liberation." Rong Rui lay on the carved guardrail, looked up at the zenith, and said quietly, "My ancestor was a big national capitalist in the late Qing Dynasty. At that time, you know, the country was ruined and the family was destroyed... My ancestors had three sons and one daughter. The eldest son joined the Northeast guerrillas and died in the South Stone Concentration Camp. , and now doing art-related business in Europe.”

Xiao Su didn't expect the Rong family to have such a background, and couldn't help but sigh.Rong Rui suddenly remembered something, and said: "By the way, Levi is the descendant of the Rong family's eldest son, so we are cousins ​​next door in terms of blood relationship."

Xiao Su was a little surprised, and immediately understood: "So your branch is the descendant of the second young master of the Rong family?"

"Yes, my great-grandfather is the second son of the Rong family. When he went to Hong Kong to do business, he was caught in a catastrophe. He lost half his life before returning. He was disabled and didn't want to go out any more, so he stayed behind. Later, he sponsored anti-Japanese groups, joined the party, and joined the army. ...After liberation, he joined the government until now.”

Tian Ma is dark, and the afterglow of the sunset shines on his face through the glass, leaving mottled light and shadows, and his voice is also blurred: "After liberation, Gao Zu donated the house to the government. It has been rebuilt, and now it is open to the public. It is regarded as a sightseeing spot. The people nearby call it "Rong's Book Hall"-there are several study rooms in this building, and there are books collected by various rooms of the Rong family over the past century, many of which are It’s a lonely copy, and you can’t see it from the outside.”

Looking at the majestic and upright Rong Zhai under the setting sun, Xiao Su couldn't help admiring, and understood why the Rong family insisted on coming to Guangzhou to get a marriage certificate.

Their roots are buried here, and the souls of their ancestors live. It is a kind of ethereal but real spiritual power. This power guides them, supports them, and is passed down from generation to generation.

"We'll live here tonight." Rong Rui took Xiao Su's hand downstairs, walked through the light and shadow courtyard, and walked up the spiral staircase to the third small building.This is the inner house, the living place of the female relatives. The doors and windows are inlaid with exquisite carvings, complicated and elegant.

Xiao Su looked around, hesitantly said: "Isn't this a cultural relic protection unit? Can people live there?"

"Others can't do it, but our own people can still accommodate." Rong Rui blinked, and pulled him to a carved door on the east side of the third floor, and gently pushed it open.

Red candles are shining brightly inside the door, and there are red sandalwood furniture from the late Qing Dynasty, Eight Immortals table, Arhat couch, Babu bed... Under the candlelight, there is an oily luster soaked in time.On Babu's bed is a wedding tent of white butterflies wearing flowers, a brocade mattress with mandarin ducks playing in the water, and two pairs of bright red brocade sleeping shoes on the footrests.

"This is..." Xiao Su blushed inexplicably when he was reflected by the candlelight.

Rong Rui held his hand, and smiled: "Grandpa and grandma prepared...they knew we were going to get the certificate today, and they specially arranged a bridal chamber. There was originally a simple ceremony, but I refused...you just recovered , I don't want them to trouble you."

Unexpectedly, their family still maintains such an ancient tradition. Xiao Su is very grateful that he is thinking of himself, and he is a little apologetic. In a big family like theirs, the children's marriage should be lively and joyful, but now they There are only two people.

"Actually, I don't want to bother." Rong Rui seemed to understand his thoughts, and said, "I don't need anyone else for my bridal chamber, you are enough."

Xiao Su looked at his reddish cheeks, suddenly felt relieved, pursed his lips and smiled, and said in a low voice, "Me too."

With a natural kiss, Rong Rui stroked his slender neck, inserted his fingers into the tips of his slightly long hair, and stroked the gray hair: "The newly grown hair is all black, and after the next cut, there will be no gray hair. "

"That's right, Doctor Yu said that he will fully recover in half a year." Xiao Su squeezed his chin with a half-smile, "It's a pity that it won't look like calling you Dad in the future."

"Here, no one cares what my name is." Rong Rui smiled narrowly, and hugged him horizontally, "As long as you like, you can call me whatever you want... Only on the bed."

With a soft cry, Xiao Su was placed on the Babu bed by him. The satin mattress exuded a faint sandalwood fragrance, the bed curtains were full of butterflies flying, and the golden thread reflected the red candle fire, which was dazzling.

Chests are pressed against each other, palms are pressed together, the heat slowly rises, from fingertips to heart, every inch of love is burning.

"Tired?"

"……Do not."

The red candle exploded with a "boo", the flame dimmed, and flickered like dancing. The wedding tent was put down on the bed, and countless golden thread butterflies fluttered and fluttered in the shadows. embracing bodies.Occasionally, almost unrecognizable gasps and sighs overflowed.

Outside the window, the sun is setting and the moon is rising, and the sky is full of stars like lights, shedding a gentle glow.
