Su Shuiyin, who was covered with the bridal veil, was escorted out of the bedroom by the group of women. Aunt Lao made the decision and handed the other end of the red silk cloth that Su Shuiyin was holding to Lin Siyao, who was rushing forward.
The two of them held the red silk cloth and walked slowly to the ancestral altar.
"The auspicious time has come!" Feng Laoliu shouted loudly and did not forget to hit the gong in his hand.
The noisy crowd instantly quieted down.
"First bow to heaven and earth!"
"Second bow to the parents!"
"Husband and wife bow to each other!"
"The ceremony is complete!
Send them to the bridal chamber! "
"Hahaha …"
"Congratulations!"
"Give birth to a child soon!"
Su Shuiche felt as if she was in a dream. Aunt Lao and Aunt Tian beside her supported her as they kowtowed to each other. She almost forgot to breathe. She could only smell the warm and quiet body scent of the man beside her and see the pair of black cotton boots that were embroidered by her under the bridal veil.
He was really and truly in front of her and behind her.
Then, amidst the clamor and laughter, Su Shuiyong found herself sitting at the head of the spacious bed.
The bridal veil covered her head and she could not see the surrounding crowd, but she could hear the simple and sincere congratulations clearly.
"Big brother, hurry up, take off the red veil and let us see your wife."
"I heard that your wife is very beautiful. Big brother Lin, I envy you so much."
"Little brat, how old are you? Why are you so impatient?"
"Ouch!
Dad, don't hit my head all the time, it will make me stupid … I will be thirteen after the New Year, how can I still be young? "
"Hahaha …"
Su Shuiche heard it and laughed in her heart. Her dimples appeared on her lips.
But a sudden burst of light blinded her and she could not help but squint her eyes.
When she opened her eyes again, she found that Lin Siyao had taken off the bridal veil and put it on the bed. He was holding a scale and standing quietly in front of her. After a flash of surprise, his eyes were full of tenderness.
"Wow!
Big brother Lin, are you marrying a fairy?
But, I think she is much more beautiful than the fairies on the seventh of July. "
Su Shuiche found the excited young man standing beside Lin Siyao. She guessed that he must be the owner of the voice that claimed to be thirteen years old after the New Year.
Seeing Su Shuiyong looking at him with a faint smile, he was not shy and returned an extremely bright smile to Su Shuiyong.
"Alright, alright, there's not much time left before the wedding banquet starts. Everyone, let's disperse and let the young couple have a good chat."
When Aunt Lao saw that Lin Siyao's face was beginning to darken, she took the lead and drove the people who were still unconsciously disturbing the bride out of the bedroom.
"Aunt Lao, I haven't seen enough of the fairy yet. Why are you driving us out?"
The young man complained to Aunt Tian as he was pulled out of the bridal chamber by his arm. Along the way, he did not forget to turn back and greet Su Shuiche, "Sister, fairy sister, my name is Tian Dabao. I will come to see you again tomorrow.
Oh, mother, why are you so cruel? Am I not your biological son … "
…
After the villagers who came to watch the ceremony left one by one, only Su Shuiche and Lin Siyao were left in the house. Oh, there were also two loyal wolf pups. They were lying comfortably in their own small wooden house, sleeping soundly.
Lin Siyao brought a basin of warm water, rolled up the wide sleeves of his wedding robe, and twisted a handkerchief. He came to Su Shuiche and sat down beside her. He pulled her sweaty palms and gently wiped them.
"Ah Yao …" Su Shuiche called out shyly with a soft voice.
"Aunt Lao said … we have to drink the wine …" Lin Siyao put down the wet towel and took two cups of wine. He explained to Su Shuiche, who was puzzled.
The two nervously crossed their arms. After drinking the wine, Lin Siyao fed her three slightly raw auspicious dumplings made by Aunt Lao.
"The wedding robe is too stuffy. Change out of it. Let's go to the wedding banquet." Lin Siyao said softly as he wiped the sweat from her palms and forehead.
"Huh?
But … "Here, wasn't it the custom for the bride to stay in the bridal chamber and not participate in the banquet with the husband?
He was …
"Shuiche, I am not a pedantic person. Besides, I am worried." Lin Siyao said in a low voice. A faint blush appeared on his face.
Worried?
Su Shuiche blinked in confusion. She looked up at Lin Siyao who was opening the closet to take out a new set of clothes.
"Is it this set?" Lin Siyao ignored Su Shuiche's confused expression and took out two sets of scarlet clothes.
Such a festive color, it should be worn now.
Su Shuiche nodded. She got up and helped him take off the red wedding robe. The complicated and cumbersome wedding robe was indeed stuffy and uncomfortable.
"You change too."
Lin Siyao took his new set of scarlet clothes and motioned for Su Shuiche to take off the beautiful but stuffy wedding robe.
"I … can I really go with you?" Su Shuiche helped him button up the side of his robe and asked softly.
"En, of course we will go together."
Lin Siyao put on the new set of scarlet clothes with silver embroidery and tied the wide belt with the same color and flower. He looked up to see Su Shuiche still holding her gauze dress of the same color and standing by the round table in a daze.
"In a daze again?"
Lin Siyao took the clothes in her hands with a chuckle. He pulled her to the dressing room as if to help her change.
"Ah!
I will do it myself. "
Su Shuiche shyly grabbed the clothes in his hands and pushed him out of the dressing room. Lin Siyao chuckled from the bottom of his throat.
Su Shuiche's face became even hotter. She thought of the upcoming bridal chamber and couldn't help but hold her cheeks. Her heart was beating wildly in her chest as if it was about to jump out.
…
"Look at Ah Yao. He really loves his wife."
Aunt Tian couldn't help but nudge Aunt Tian next to her as she looked at the newlyweds who were walking hand in hand and wearing the same color clothes. Her words were directed at her husband who was smoking a pipe behind her.
Although people in the countryside were not as formal as in the city, as far as she knew, Lin Siyao was the only one who would bring his wife to the table for a toast at a wedding banquet.
"That's right. This girl is blessed."
Aunt Tian glanced at her daughter, Tian Niu, and saw that she was looking at Su Shuiche who was walking closer. Aunt Tian sighed helplessly and hoped that the boy would also be good to Niu.
She only had two children. There was no hope for a son. She hoped that her daughter's future would be smooth.
Just as he was about to call Tian Niu to give her some instructions, he heard his unruly son shouting again, "Big Brother Lin, Big Sister Fairy, you're here. Quick, come and sit here. I've taken two good seats."
Aunt Tian speechlessly patted her forehead. Dabao, who was already twelve years old, fell into the village's big pond when he was nine years old. After he was rescued, his body was fine, but his mind remained the same as when he was nine years old.
As he grew older, he became more and more eye-catching.
She really didn't know what to do in the future.
"Dabao, you naughty boy, come here and sit next to your father."
Aunt Tian hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Tian Dabao's ear. She dragged him to Tian Dafu's table.
"Oh, mother … mother … I just want to say a few words to Sister Fairy!
I want to ask if she has any younger sisters … Oh, hey! "
"Hahaha …" The surrounding villagers who were already seated all laughed.
"I say, Dafu, your family's Dabao seems to have become enlightened. It seems that we can look out for a partner for him next year.
Haha … "
"Sister Tian also said that Dabao is still young and his temperament is still like a child's. I don't think so. Dabao already wants a wife!"
The extroverted Shi Family's woman, Madam He, laughed and teased Aunt Tian. Aunt Tian blushed and scolded her son in her heart.
It was strange. It was said that no one in Blossom Town dared to speak a few words to Lin Siyao face to face.
Even Feng Laoliu, who was now close to him, felt nervous when he talked about Lin Siyao.
However, ever since his uncivilized son had pestered Lin Siyao to ask about the two big dogs before the ceremony, he had affectionately called him 'Big Brother Lin'.
However, he didn't see them know each other before. Because he went to his mother's house the day before yesterday, he didn't make it in time for the afternoon wine.
Aunt Tian muttered in her heart.
On the other side, Su Shuiche followed Lin Siyao to the main table and sat down after greeting the neighbors with a smile.
"Are you familiar with Aunt Tian's family's Dabao?"
Su Shuiche saw that Tian Dabao had clearly been seated next to Tian Dafu by Aunt Tian, but he couldn't stop looking in their direction. Receiving Su Shuiche's curious gaze, he returned her a silly grin.
"Not familiar."
Lin Siyao replied bluntly. He was a bit jealous that her thoughts weren't on him at the moment.
But then he felt it was funny. The other party was just a half-grown child who wasn't very mature. Why should he be angry with him?
Su Shuiche didn't ask any more questions. It must be because the youth had a lively personality that he could treat them like strangers so familiarly and naturally.
"Come, daughter, Ah Yao, Aunt Lao doesn't drink much, so I'll take this small wine cup to toast you.
I wish you a long life together! "Aunt Lao held a small wine cup, filled with sorghum wine, and came over to congratulate Su Shuiche and Lin Siyao with a smile.
Su Shuiche and Lin Siyao looked at each other and smiled. They stood up together, raised their cups, and drank it all.
"And me, and me!" Aunt Tian held a small soup bowl. Her alcohol tolerance had always been good.
"Come, I wish you a child soon.
Hehe … cheers! "
"Aunt Tian …" Su Shuiche speechlessly looked at her small soup bowl that was filled by Aunt Tian. She was a bit scared. She knew very well how much alcohol she could drink. Not to mention that there would be a lot of people coming up to congratulate them, she would definitely be drunk after drinking such a large cup of high-concentration sorghum wine.
"Aunt Tian, Shuiche isn't good at drinking. I'll drink for her, okay?"
Lin Siyao asked Aunt Tian who was holding a bowl of wine with a smile. He had already reached out to take the small soup bowl in her hand. Without waiting for Aunt Tian to answer, he drank it all.
"Good!
Like a man!
Brother, come, let's continue! "
At this time, Feng Laoliu had already drunk a few cups of sorghum wine and was tongue-tied. Therefore, he had already put away his reverence for Lin Siyao. He held a large bowl of sorghum wine and came over to toast with Lin Siyao.
Su Shuiche looked at this scene and pulled Lin Siyao's sleeve worriedly.
Lin Siyao turned around and smiled, indicating that she shouldn't worry. He took the big bowl and drank it.
"Good!"
"Good!"
"Like a man!"
"Come, come, come, it's my turn now."
"And me, and me …"
"Don't rush, don't rush, one by one!
We have plenty of wine.
Dabao, come, follow Uncle Liu home to get the wine! "
…
