across mountains and seas

Jin Shoujiang first went to meet the eldest princess, and after exchanging a few pleasantries, he left the courtyard and continued to arrange Jin Lingdang's wedding.

Liuxi seldom appears in Aunt Hong's sight on weekdays, the two of them seem to have a tacit understanding, and Aunt Hong never mentions the word "Xi'er". No sip was set aside.

As if waiting for an opportunity to speak, Liu Xi was waiting, and Aunt Hong was also waiting.

Three days later, Xiyang City ushered in a grand wedding.

Red silk is hung high along the street, and red happy characters are pasted all over the government office.The largest wing room in the government office was furnished as a new house, and Liu Xi and Shen Jiangli carefully decorated it for most of the day, making the new house festive and warm.

Although she is no longer Jing Yuan's sister-in-law, in the bottom of Liu Xi's heart, she has long regarded Dong Jing's people as relatives, and she is more concerned about Jing Yuan's marriage with Jin Lingdang than anyone else.

Jing Lan was worried about her old injury, but she couldn't hold her back, so she could only secretly ask Shen Jiangli to watch more.She has to be busy with Jing Huan outside for most of the day, and she doesn't care about taking care of the people in the inner courtyard for a while, and she can't see Liu Xi for most of the day, Jing Lan always feels empty-hearted, afraid that she will try her best again, and accidentally get hurt again.

After a few firecrackers were blown up, a circle of people watching the ceremony surrounded the government office, and the sound of congratulations kept coming and going, which was very lively.

Jing Huan hadn't worn his favorite red dress for a long time after Dong Jing's accidents happened one after another. Today is the third brother's big day, how could he miss such a good day?He was born with red lips and white teeth, but now he is wearing a red dress, which makes his face extremely beautiful.Many people who came to congratulate him saw it from a distance, and they all secretly praised it. The little man of the Dongjing family is really more handsome than the other. I don't know which lucky girl can marry this little man in red?

Aunt Hong wore auspicious clothes today and sat on the main seat. She finally waited until her child got married, and it would be a lie to say that she was not excited.

Jin Shoujiang changed into a brown gown, and sat next to Aunt Hong energetically, taking several sips of hot tea calmly.Although he was suppressing the excitement in his heart, he couldn't help shaking the tea lid slightly.

His bell finally married Jing's boy, but after he gave up his original obsession.

Looking at the joy in the hall, Jin Shoujiang couldn't help being a little dazed. He was the same back then, standing in the hall full of joy, holding Nie Xiaoxiao's scarf, and praying to the heaven and earth with her in front of the guests, Xu Sansheng.

If he could be more patient, if he could be more careful, if he hadn't had such deep obsessions when he was young, maybe...he and the little bell, like this bell now, can marry the person he likes, Happy life, right?

Jin Shoujiang's eyes were slightly red, looking at the gate of the mansion, watching Jing Yuan stepping into the gate of the mansion with a handkerchief and a golden bell covering his face with a happy fan, his vision was instantly blurred.

"Auspicious time-"

Uncle Jing Jiu sang loudly, and the guests in the main hall moved out of the way one after another, and looked at the couple with smiles.

Jin Shoujiang's wedding dress was prepared by Jin Shoujiang very early on, with top-notch embroidery techniques, top-quality red silk, and the twin lotuses on it shining brightly in the setting sun.

The corner of the long skirt was behind her, Jin Lingdang was holding a fan in one hand, and a scarf in the other, her rouge was rosy, and her face was also rosy. She lowered her head and bit her lips, feeling as if her heart would jump out of her chest at any moment, bang bang.

Jing Yuan laughed too much today, his cheeks were a little sour, he couldn't help but peek at his bride, every step he took, he felt light and unreal.

Jing Lan stood beside Jing Huan, smiling as she watched the third brother and the third sister-in-law walk into the main hall together.

"Pray to heaven and earth—" Uncle Jing Jiu sang loudly.

Jing Yuan and Jin Lingdang faced the court and bowed solemnly.

"Second obeisance to the high hall—" Uncle Jing Jiu sang again.

Jing Yuan and Jin Lingdang turned around, knelt down to Aunt Hong and Jin Shoujiang, and bowed heavily.

"Husband and wife pay homage—" Uncle Jing Jiu also had tears in his eyes. The young master of the Jing family broke up the two of them one after another, and finally today they became a peaceful couple.

Jing Yuan did not wait for Jin Lingdang to kneel down, but eagerly knelt down, causing the audience to burst into laughter.

"Stupid wood." Jin Lingdang suppressed a laugh, and slowly knelt down.

This obeisance, concluded three lives, never leave.

Aunt Hong rubbed her eyes, Jin Shoujiang turned her face away, and quickly wiped away the tears gushing out of her eyes.

"Send it to the bridal chamber—"

Uncle Jing Jiu sang excitedly for the last time.

Jing Huan stepped forward and said excitedly: "Third brother, don't worry, if I stop you, no one will dare to disturb you!"

"Little Four, don't mess around, Ah Yuan is coming out to entertain guests." Aunt Hong glared at Jing Huan.

Jing Huan stuck out his tongue and shrank behind Jing Lan.

Aunt Hong glanced at Jing Lan with complex eyes, held back her words, stood up and said happily: "Today is the wedding of the children, and everyone who comes is a guest. Come, come, be happy today, and you will not return if you are not drunk!"

Jin Shoujiang also stood up, and laughed loudly: "Come, come, drink!"

The wedding banquet was held in the court, and the congratulators were not only ordinary people, but also many small officials from Xishen Prefecture. The congratulations were endless, and the entire vestibule became lively in an instant.

After Jing Yuan and Jin Lingdang entered the backyard, Jing Huan wanted to sneak into the backyard to play with Shen Jiangli, but he was caught by Uncle Jing Jiu when he was halfway there.

"Fourth son, don't go to the back and make trouble. Uncle Jiu can't entertain here alone. Come and help Uncle Jiu."

"Oh……"

Jing Huan sighed in disappointment. Seeing that Jing Lan wanted to sneak back to the backyard with his sharp eyes, he grabbed Jing Lan and said, "Xiao Wu, let's have a banquet with Fourth Brother!"

Jing Lan smiled wryly, "Fourth Brother, I'll just take a look and come after I'm done..."

"No way!" Jing Huan smiled mischievously, "We are brothers, so we have to suffer together!"

"Okay, we are in trouble together." Jing Lan smiled helplessly, and had no choice but to carry a jug of wine and a cup with Jing Huan, and walked into the banquet to start entertaining guests.

Jing Yuan soon returned to the banquet, Jing Huan's sharp eyes saw a bite mark on Jing Yuan's earlobe, he couldn't help turning Jing Yuan around, "Third brother, don't lose tonight."

Jing Yuan's face was flushed red, "Kids, don't mess around!"

"Third brother has always yielded to his sister-in-law, he will definitely not lose." Jing Lan joked, as if there was something in his words.

Jing Yuan coughed twice, "I'm married today..." As he spoke, he reminded Jing Lan meaningfully, "You're almost there too... Be careful..."

"Why don't I help third brother today!" Jing Lan hurriedly begged for mercy, stood beside Jing Yuan, looked at Jing Huan, "fourth brother, today I am with third brother!"

Jing Huan pouted, "Wait, Xiao Wu, I'm definitely faster than you!"

"Haha, the third brother is waiting too." Jing Yuan couldn't help laughing out loud.

The smile on Jing Lan's face did not diminish, but her heart was still uneasy.It stands to reason that Aunt Hong should have softened her heart, but she and Xi'er always don't see each other like this, the more she thinks about it, the more uneasy she becomes.

Thinking of this, Jing Lan wanted to see Aunt Hong, but found that Aunt Hong was not at the banquet.

Jing Lan walked towards Uncle Jing Jiu in confusion, and asked in a low voice, "Uncle Jiu, where did mother go?"

"The second lady said that she wanted to go to the backyard to talk to her daughter-in-law." Uncle Jing Jiu remembered that Aunt Hong had just ordered him in this way, "Today is the day when the third son is very happy, and the governor must help the third son to block the wine and not let the third son get drunk. gone."

Jing Lan thinks about it too, Aunt Hong must have something personal to say to her sister-in-law.

"Don't worry, with me here, third brother will definitely not get drunk." Jing Lan secretly mobilized her inner breath, turned the qi pill, and diffused the alcohol. Not only third brother can't get drunk tonight, she can't get drunk either, because late She is going to accompany Xi'er.

Whether it is the front yard or the backyard, it is a festive scene.

Liu Xi and Shen Jiangli returned to their small courtyard, feeling a lot quieter and cooler in an instant.

Before entering the room, Liu Xi heard footsteps behind her, she turned her head vigilantly, and saw Aunt Hong walking into the small courtyard with two altars of daughter Hong in her hands.

"I'm happy today, how about drinking with me?" Aunt Hong threw a jar of Daughter's Red to Liuxi.

Liu Xi caught the wine jar, surprised and delighted, and said with a smile: "Good!"

"Follow me." Aunt Hong tapped her toes and flew up to the eaves.

Liu Xi smiled at Shen Jiangli and said, "My sister is tired all day, go and rest first."

Shen Jiangli rubbed his eyes, but he was still worried about Liu Xi, "Yes, yes."

"It will be fine." Liu Xi was slightly excited in his heart, it must not be a bad thing for Aunt Hong to come to drink with him at this time.

Shen Jiangli nodded, and went back to the room obediently.

Liu Xi also flew up to the eaves, and saw that Aunt Hong had already flown up to the turret at the northeast corner of the mansion, she also flew over and landed firmly beside Aunt Hong.

Aunt Hong opened the mouth of the altar first, sat on the tile, and took a big gulp.

Liu Xi sat down unceremoniously, opened the mouth of the altar, and was not in a hurry to drink.

She still remembered that once in Haicheng, she and Aunt Hong had a drink at a high place like this.

Things are different now, and the state of mind is very different.

The twilight gradually sinks, and the night gradually engulfs the afterglow of the setting sun.

Aunt Hong took another sip, looked sideways at Liu Xi, "You are a good girl."

Liu Xi was startled, not knowing how to answer.

"I thought...you would annoy me for a long time..." Aunt Hong didn't know whether it was the hot wine, or she was really sad, her eyes turned red, "It's my mother...the heart of a villain."

Liu Xi hugged the wine jar, took a sip, and said with emotion: "If you don't annoy me, you won't be the Aunt Hong whom I respect and love in my heart."

Aunt Hong was stunned, and smiled with tears in her eyes, "If you are such a good girl, if I leave in anger, where can I find an equally good girl to return to Xiao Wu?"

"Ah?" Liu Xi stayed where she was flattered.

Aunt Hong took out an exquisite wooden box from her bosom, and solemnly handed it to Liu Xi, "Xiao Wu has called my mother for so long, and I, as a mother, should do something for him."

Liu Xi put the wine jar at her feet, took the wooden box with both hands, and was about to open it, but was held down by Aunt Hong.

Aunt Hong said earnestly: "I really treat one more favorably than another. This dowry gift is not expensive, but it is the most sincere dowry gift I can offer." It fooled me, I have treasured it for more than 20 years, and it is my most valued gift. Now I use it as a betrothal gift, so I just ask you, would you marry my Xiaowu?"

Liu Xi's hands holding the wooden box trembled slightly, she felt a sore heart, and tears welled up.

Seeing her crying, Aunt Hong hurriedly put down the wine jar, pinching the corner of her sleeve to wipe her tears, "Silly Xi'er, why are you crying?"

Liu Xi took advantage of the situation and hugged Aunt Hong, choked up and called softly: "Aunt Hong..."

The sound of "Xi'er" was a long-lost warmth, enough to warm Liu Xi's heart, making all the words she wanted to say choked in her throat, and she could only hug Aunt Hong and weep.

Aunt Hong knew that she had wronged Xi'er these days, and hearing her cry sadly made her feel distressed, she held the back of Liu Xi's head, and gently patted, "It's Aunt Hong's fault... Xi'er was wronged... "

Liu Xi laughed through tears, folded her arms, and hugged Aunt Hong tightly, "I'm sorry..."

In fact, some apologies are not as difficult as imagined.

The moment Aunt Hong stepped into Liuxi's small courtyard carrying the wine jar, the barrier between her and Liuxi disappeared.The moment Liu Xi saw Aunt Hong appearing, she also knew that tonight should be a night where the clouds will open and the moon will shine.

It turns out that joy can also make people cry so hard.

Aunt Hong held back her tears and said seriously: "Will Xi'er accompany me to drink this wine tonight?"

"Drink! I want to drink!" Liu Xi let go of Aunt Hong, lifted the wine jar at her feet, and respected her, "If you don't get drunk, you won't return!"

"If you don't get drunk, you won't go home!" Aunt Hong lifted the wine jar and touched Liu Xi's wine jar. The two laughed while holding back their tears, and took a full sip with their heads raised.

Warmth enters the heart, good night, as it should be.
