Short story

The six etiquettes are required for marriages in large families, but Xiaogu Village is a small place and is deeply influenced by the customs of the Di people in the north. Although marriages also follow the six etiquettes, it is more concise, and some unnecessary procedures can be discarded. Lose.

The news of Liu Chen's marriage quickly spread throughout Xiaogu Village, some envied Shen Zhige, and some envied Liu Xi, but these didn't affect anything.

A matchmaker was invited to exchange Geng stickers, a fortune teller was invited to combine the horoscope, and a dowry was given to set a date, and half a month passed.

With only one and a half months left before conscription, Shen's father urged the fortune teller to change the date, and the wedding began.

The Liu family has two daughters and a son. The eldest daughter is married and is also in the village. This time, she came back to help when her younger sister got married. The younger son is still a half-grown child, but he is also helping to clean up.

"One comb to the end, two combs with white hair equal to eyebrows, three combs full of children and grandchildren..." Liu Shu chanted while brushing her sister's hair, and said with emotion: "You are going to get married, and you were still a little bean before. !"

"Look, my sister is so beautiful, she must be the most beautiful bride in the village!" Liu Shu leaned closer to Liu Xi's ear, and looked at the girl in the bronze mirror. The pretty girl's face was full of a happy and shy smile. , It makes people feel happy just looking at it.

"Come on, my sister will dress you up, and I will change into your wedding dress later, but it's tiring, but I have to keep this smile." Liu Shu patted Liu Xi on the shoulder.

The wedding dress was complicated and gorgeous, but the bright red wedding dress reflected Liu Xi's smile and made her happier.

But after a while, Liu Xi realized what her sister said was tiring, wearing a wedding dress and a crown on her head, even though it was tiring to just sit and let her dress up.

However, there are still two hours before the auspicious time.

Finally finished dressing up, Liu Shu looked at her sister with satisfaction, a pair of willow eyebrows curved like crescent moons, Gu Panshenghui's eyes were black and white, her skin was as white as snow, and she looked rosy and delicate after powdering, her red lips curved slightly , with a pair of shallow pear dimples on the cheeks, which is too beautiful to behold.

"That's right!" Liu Shusai gave Liu Xi a piece of candy, "You can't eat before entering the bridal chamber, there are many things to do later, you eat a piece of candy first, don't starve."

Before Liu Xi swallowed the candy in her mouth, Liu's mother came in and said hello vaguely, Liu's mother knew it, and stared at the eldest daughter, after all, she felt sorry for the child, so she asked Liu Xi to finish the candy quickly .

Liu Shu knew that she was not suitable to stay behind, so she voluntarily withdrew.

Mother Liu took Liu Xi to start teaching.

The first is to prevent her from being as willful as at home in the future, and she must obey her husband and respect her father-in-law. The Shen family is all men, and she will be responsible for housework and manage the house diligently and frugally.

Liu Xi nodded to show that she remembered everything, and Mother Liu said in a low voice, "Don't be shy about what I'm going to say next, everyone has to go through it."

Then Mother Liu leaned close to Liu Xi's ear and told her about the men and women in the bridal chamber.

Liu Xi originally thought that the so-called bridal chamber was two people lying on the same bed to sleep, but who would have thought that there would be such things, her face flushed immediately, but she hesitated when she heard Liu's mother said that Shen Zhige would like her more if this kind of thing was done well. Asking, trying to find out what you don't quite understand.

When the auspicious time came, Mother Liu ended the education and led the people out.

The two families are next door, and Shen's father rented a sedan chair and bearers to the front of Liu's house.

It's a pity that the war is tense now, and it is difficult for ordinary people to see horses, so Shen Zhige was not able to ride the tall horse to meet his relatives, and the sedan chair soon stopped at the door of Shen's house.

There were more than a dozen tables set up in the Shen family's backyard, and the neighbors from the neighborhood all came, and the children bounced over to beg for happy candies and say auspicious words.

Shen Zhige was dressed in a bright red groom's suit. He was handsome and imposing, holding a red silk in his hand. The other end of the red silk was Liu Xi who was wearing a red hijab.

Leading Liu Xi, the two bowed to the sound of drums and sent them to the bridal chamber.

Liu Xi sat on the bed according to the rules, Shen Zhige took over Xicheng from the side, and slowly raised the red hijab.

Even though the two had known each other for many years, Shen Zhige was still amazed by the well-dressed Liu Xi.

Shen Zhige's rare expression pleased Liu Xi, she smiled with crooked eyebrows, and asked directly regardless of the people beside her, "Does it look good?"

Shen Zhige came back to his senses, his handsome face flushed slightly, he tilted his head and muttered: "It's not enough to describe."

What Shen Zhige said made Liu Xi feel sweet in her heart, she always thought that Shen Zhige didn't like her very much, but now it seems that he definitely likes her!

Shen Zhige finally realized that there was someone beside him, and he was still snickering, and quickly said, "There are guests outside, I'm going to greet you, you should take a rest first, eat some preserved fruit snacks when you're hungry, and sleep first if you're tired." , It's been a busy day."

As the bridegroom, Shen Zhige married Liu Xi, whom many young men in the village were eager to marry. Naturally, he was forced to drink. Although Shen's father was afraid that she would get drunk and reveal her identity to help block the wine, Shen Zhige who returned to the bridal chamber was still a bit nervous. Drunk.

At this time Liu Xi had already taken off her complicated wedding dress and changed into a simple skirt. Shen Zhige stayed outside for a long time. She ate some preserved fruit and was already a little drowsy leaning against the bed. After all, today is the really tired.

Hearing the sound of footsteps and the sound of the door opening, Liu Xi woke up. For tonight, she was looking forward to but also afraid. She was looking forward to getting closer to Shen Zhige. Was she afraid that it would really hurt like mother said?

Although Shen Zhige drank too much, she was always cautious, Liu Xi woke up as soon as she approached her, was helped to a chair and drank a cup of tea, the drunkenness gradually dissipated, Shen Zhige became distressed.

What was supposed to happen tonight couldn't happen, Shen Zhige supported his head, still a little groggy, why don't he just pretend to be drunk?

Liu Xi didn't know what Shen Zhige was thinking, but seeing her with a headache made her feel distressed, so she stood behind her and helped rub her temples, "Don't drink so much wine in the future, and you don't know how to drink, so just refuse."

Shen Zhige responded in a low voice, feeling comfortable being rubbed by Liu Xi, he couldn't help but narrow his eyes, and leaned his head back against Liu Xi's abdomen.

The sudden intimacy made Liu Xi pause, looking down, Shen Zhige looked sleepy, his eyes squinted like a lazy cat.

"Go to bed and sleep if you're sleepy." Liu Xi felt distressed, and stroked Shen Zhige's cheek.

It was getting late, the noise outside the house gradually dissipated, Liu Xi propped her head and lay on her side next to Shen Zhige, looked at Shen Zhige carefully, her eyes passed by her slender eyelashes, her high nose bridge, and finally landed on Shen Zhige. On Zhi Ge's ruddy thin lips.

Liu Xi stared blankly, her heart beating faster and faster, looking around, there were only the two of them in the whole room, and the person she coveted was still sleeping, Liu Xi approached Shen Zhige in a strange way, getting closer...

It was so close that Liu Xi could even see the fine fluff on Shen Zhige's face, Shen Zhige suddenly muttered, turned his head sideways, and avoided Liu Xi.

Only then did Liu Xi wake up in shock, and couldn't help but condemn her actions just now, it was really... so debauched!

Liu Xi didn't dare to have any more unreasonable thoughts, she lay down beside Shen Zhige in an orderly manner, and gradually fell into a dreamland.

Only then did Shen Zhige, who was drunk at the side, heaved a sigh of relief and let his sleepiness strike.

The wedding night passed like this.

The next day, Shen Zhige got used to getting up early to practice martial arts, and woke up at dawn, her eyes were red, and she remembered that she was married.

Turning her head to look at her side, Liu Xi sleeps very well, still in the posture before going to bed.

Shen Zhige still felt very guilty about Liu Xi, so he wanted to get up secretly and let her go back to sleep, but when Shen Zhige sat up, Liu Xi woke up in a daze.

"Did I wake you up? It's still early, get some more sleep!" Shen Zhige persuaded.

Liu Xi stared blankly at Shen Zhige, still in the daze of just waking up.

Not knowing if he heard his own words, Shen Zhige shook his head helplessly, and felt that Liu Xi's dazed appearance was very cute, so his smile became a little stronger, and he pressed Liu Xi's shoulders and pushed her down on the bed, "It's still early , sleep more."

Liu Xi, who was pushed down on the bed by Shen Zhige, closed her eyes obediently, it seemed that she really wanted to sleep for a while.

When Shen Zhige got up and tidied up, Liu Xicai sat up abruptly, looked at Shen Zhige blankly, "Zhige?"

"Ok?"

"I, I got up late? I still have to serve tea to my father-in-law, it's over!" Seeing that Shen Zhige had packed up, Liu Xi immediately regretted that she got up late.

"No, don't worry, it's still early, father should not be up yet." Shen Zhige quickly comforted him.

Although it wasn't too late, but since she had already woken up, Liu Xi didn't go to bed anymore, she got up with Shen Zhige, after washing, Shen Zhige went to practice martial arts in the backyard, and she went to make breakfast.

Shen's father drank too much wine and got up late, when he sat down on the chair, Liu Xi came over with a cup of tea.

Liu Xi called out respectfully, and brought the tea to Father Shen.

If Shen Zhige is really a man, Shen's father is naturally happy with the tea ceremony, this person in front of him is going to delay him for the Shen family, but no, Shen Zhige is a woman, and he has to beware of Liu Xi's discovery and publicity.

Taking the tea indifferently, Father Shen took a sip and put it down.

The breakfast was made by Liu Xi, and it tasted much better. The Shen family's first meal of the day passed in silence.

After the meal, Liu Xi consciously went to clean up, but she was not in a good mood. There were no rules when eating at her own home. She was used to talking and laughing while eating, but at the Shen family's meal, no one spoke, Shen's father and Shen Zhige were all serious Eating with one face, the atmosphere was very silent.

Liu Xi was a little uncomfortable, but thinking about it, this was the first day, and she would stay here for the rest of her life, so she had to get used to it, so she had to calm down.

Shen's father went to the shop, Shen Zhige changed back the borrowed tables and chairs, and then went to the study, Liu Xi was the only one in the huge Shen family.

After tidying up, Liu Xi had nothing to do. After thinking about it, she took a cup of tea and went to the study.

Shen Zhige was sitting on a chair, there were several books on the case, and he was reading a book in his hand, he didn't notice Liu Xi.

Liu Xi quietly put the tea on Shen Zhige's right hand, and looked at Shen Zhige in a daze when there was nothing left or right, his fair and handsome face was as serious as ever, his slender sword eyebrows frowned from time to time, and a flash of thought flashed in his eyes.

That's great, Liu Xi smiled foolishly, the handsome, elegant and quiet young man in front of her is her husband!Be your own!

Thinking of this, Liu Xi felt that she was the happiest person in the world.
