Chapter 27 Marriage
Nan Shan grabbed Pei Qu by the front, although his forehead was still sweating because of his weakness, but his hands were not weaker than usual.Nanshan took a closer look at Pei Qu, and said in a hoarse voice: "Hey, the teacher is so thin." She naturally pulled out her other hand from the quilt, pinched Pei Qu's cheek in an instant, boldly The next offense is, "I can't squeeze the meat out."

Just as she was about to sigh, Pei Qu suddenly opened his arms to embrace her: "It's good that you can wake up."

Nan Shan hugged him back, patted his hand on his back and said, "With the teacher around, I will definitely be able to wake up. The teacher should have this confidence."

Pei Qu replied with a thick nasal voice, because he was still a little dizzy because of the tranquilizing medicine he had taken before, so he just leaned over and hugged Nanshan with his eyes closed.Nanshan also hugged him tightly, and after a while, she whispered: "You're holding me down." She took a deep breath, "Teacher, let me sleep for a while."

"Yeah." Pei Qu immediately let go and got up, and tucked her in the quilt again.While pressing the corner of the quilt, Nan Shan glanced around, as if looking for something in the room.Pei Qu asked: "Are you hungry? Looking for something to eat?"

Nanshan shook his head.

When she first woke up, she didn't have much appetite, and she didn't want to eat much, but there was one thing she was anxious to confirm.

Pei Qu suddenly understood: "You want to see if your sense of taste has recovered, right?"

Nanshan shook his head, but nodded again.Although she is eager to know the result, she is also a little scared, afraid that she will not taste the taste after trying it...

But Pei Qu said: "Don't be so anxious, you have been poisoned for too long, and it won't take effect so quickly. I will let you try it when it is right." When he finished speaking, he was about to put the bed curtains on her, but He leaned over and kissed her forehead again, "The second bowl of medicine will be delivered later, you sleep first, and I will wake you up then."

Nanshan nodded.

Pei Qu put down the bed curtain and went out.Sixteen Niang, Shen Fengge, and even Guan Bai were waiting outside, and their postures were...extremely weird.The sound insulation effect of this room is too bad, just now the three people outside were too curious to stick to the door and window to listen, so...

After Pei Qu opened the door, he looked at the three of them in blank dismay. Sixteen Niang was the first to break the embarrassment: "Uncle Pei's complexion is also very bad, go and get back to sleep."

"Liu Niang is right." Shen Fengge said calmly, "You need to sleep well, you don't need to worry about the medicine, we will take care of it."

"Please." The effect of the medicine on Pei Qu's body has not yet worn off, and he really needs a good sleep.

As soon as he left, the other three began to mutter and discuss.First, Guan Bai, the old boy, started and said, "Oh, this is great, we can get married after the two of you rest!"

"Where is it! I really want to eat a big feast." Sixteen Niang was thinking about eating, she simply thought that there would be a lively feast at home, and then she could eat sweets without restraint Now... Her father always refuses to buy candy for her on the grounds that "the teeth are falling out", but it will be different if someone in the house gets married!

Shen Fengge pondered and said: "The marriage certificate has been finalized, it really shouldn't be delayed for too long. The sooner they finalize it, I can take Sixteen Niang to the feudal mansion."

"Exactly!" Guan Bai held down his white beard and said, "It's decided like this. While these two little guys are sleeping, we will almost make preparations for the marriage, and then bring the two out for a walk." It's just a matter of time, isn't that what marriage is all about!"

Liu Niang nodded approvingly, and Shen Fengge nodded slightly, also thinking that the idea proposed by Cong Guanbai was really good.

So while Pei Nan and the two were desperately trying to catch up on sleep and recuperate, the house was bustling with preparations for the wedding.I found a few matchmakers to prepare, but found that they were not very reliable. The elderly, middle-aged and young children simply completed the preparations by themselves.

Red silk was hung up in the house early on, and happy words were pasted all over, and a chef was invited to come and order the eclipse for the day.Because there is no matter of welcoming and sending off relatives, the dowry and dowry are also saved.As for the wedding clothes, I heard that Pei Qu brought a set from Nanshan, so I have to make another set for Pei Qu to wear.

Guan Bai discussed with Shen Fengge for a long time, originally planning to let him wear a green dress, but finally gave up.So it was the red dress that matched the wedding dress of Nanshan.A pair of reds also looked happy, anyway, this is not the only place where it is unethical.

Li Guanbai stroked his beard and said: "Hey, this boy's parents won't see this day. The father who went to Hedong is even more indifferent and ruthless." These two are now the insiders of Pei Qu's background, When talking about this topic, it is natural to sigh, especially Li Guanbai.

Pei Qu can be regarded as a descendant of his Li family, anyway, he is of royal blood. Although his biological father was not a good man, he was an emperor after all, but now he has been reduced to... a married man, which is quite interesting.

Sixteen Niang was also half an insider, and she asked vaguely: "Can people with the same surname get married?" She knew that Sister Nanshan's original surname was Li, and Uncle Pei's surname should also be Li.

"You don't know that. Your Nanshan sister's grandfather, Li Chongwang, was given the surname Wang, so naturally he is not in the same line as my Li family." Li Guanbai said.

Sixteen Niang finally solved her confusion and nodded hastily.

But Li Guanbai became worried: "But in the future, the children of the two of them...what's the last name!"

Asking Meng people a word, Sixteen Niang said: "Isn't it good to be surnamed Li..."

"Neither of them is surnamed Li now. If you give the child the surname Li, the child will probably think he picked it up! If the surname is Pei, it's too cheap for those guys in the Pei family! If the surname is Nan, it's too..."

Shen Fengge interrupted Guanbai and said: "This is the matter of the two of them, it's still early, there is really no need to worry so far."

As soon as he finished speaking, the little servant girl hurried over: "Wake up, wake up, everyone is awake."

Sixteen Niang jumped up happily, and Guan Bai also showed joy: "Let's say today is an auspicious day. Since it's too early to make it today, and the cook is here, what ingredients are missing? Buy it quickly. Anyway, what do you buy in Yangzhou?" It's very convenient."

There is nothing wrong with Guan Bai's proposal. According to etiquette and customs, weddings are held at night, so naturally there is time.Shen Fengge hurriedly got up and told the deacon to buy ingredients, Liu Niang went to Nanshan's room to inform her, and Guan Bai went to inform Pei Qu.

Pei Nan and the two had no objections, but according to etiquette, they couldn't meet each other until the ceremony was completed in the evening, which made Pei Qu very anxious.For a while, I asked "Is she better", and for a while, I asked "Have you eaten it?" "Can she taste the taste?"

Guan Bai was annoyed by him, urged him to eat and change his clothes, and then locked him in the room: "Teacher, I'm going to see my grandson, you stay well. Oh, yes, think about it carefully." Think about makeup poems and fan poems, don't be ashamed."

After Guan Bai left, Pei Qu calmed down.Even though this room was not a wedding room, he tidied it up patiently and meticulously, and finally sat down in a comfortable mood to write make-up poems and fan poems.Despite his literary talent, Pei felt a lot of pressure when he wrote this poem. He wrote a few poems, but no matter how he read them, he felt awkward, as if he was a bit out of date.

On the other side, Nanshan only drank some porridge and went to wash up.Liu Niang asked her if she could taste the taste, she nodded: "The porridge seems a bit sweet, isn't it?"

The porridge tastes too bland, and it may not be easy to taste it.But Liu Niang was willing to believe what she said, so she turned her head and told Shen Fengge the good news.

Shen Fengge said calmly that he understood, and went to Pei Qu's room again.Pei Qu was worrying about his poems, when he saw Shen Fengge coming in, he quickly collected the papers on the table, but someone from Shen still saw him.Shen Fengge took the paper and looked at it: "I think it's all pretty good, Zuo Nanshan is not very accomplished in this area, it's almost enough." He put down the paper, "I have something to tell you, Nanshan said that I can eat it right now. It tastes good, but that girl is always good at lying, then you can try her."

Shen Fengge left after explaining, while Pei Qu sat down and continued to write poems.

As the sun set in the west, all the lanterns in the mansion were lit, and wine tables were set up in the courtyard to entertain the neighbors who came to congratulate them.

Although the etiquette and customs in Yangzhou are slightly different from those in Chang'an, the general process is still the same.Due to the special circumstances, today's wedding was also simplified into four items: "urging make-up", "paying obeisance", "casting the tent" and "removing the fan", saving the process of "becoming a son-in-law".

When the auspicious time came in the evening, Pei Qu went outside Nanshan's room with the bridesmaid he had invited, and invited Nanshan out by reciting makeup poems.But after one song was finished, the people in the house did not come out for a long time, Guan Bai said: "Hey, did the little apprentice lose his temper? Disciple, hurry up, make another song!"

Pei Qu quickly chanted another song, but there was still no response from the room.The bridesmaid muttered: "Lang Jun's poems are so good, but the bride refuses to come out. Could it be that...he doesn't want to marry?!"

Guan Bai retorted: "Don't talk nonsense, we are marrying here today, it seems that the young disciple and grandson don't want to marry! Then forget it and let's go!"

Guan Bai purposely spoke loudly, and sure enough, the door swung open as soon as he finished speaking.

Nanshan was dressed in a red wedding dress and covered his face with a round fan.Her face is so small that only the bun on the top of her head can be seen, and no expression can be captured.

The bridesmaid looked at the beautiful bride, and then at the "soft food" groom next to him, and muttered sourly: "You can see the bride without going through the 'son-in-law'. The man is really happy, not to say that he is married. Well..." The so-called son-in-law means "the woman happily beats up the groom".

Sixteen Niang cheered from the side: "I'm going to pay homage, I'm going to pay homage!" Then she went to the auditorium next to Nanshan.

Although Pei Qu also found it amazing, he did not become a silly groom after all, but walked generously in front of Nanshan diagonally, leading her to the auditorium together.

All the neighbors outside the hall who came to congratulate Xi, the bridesmaid took a look and thought it was really shabby.He cleared his throat, but hesitated whether to saddle the bride or the groom.It stands to reason that it is the bride's saddle, but this is a rather strange family... While he was still thinking hard, he saw the groom holding the bride's hand and pulling the bride across the saddle together!
The bridesmaid was startled, thinking that this family is really too informal... He cleared his throat again and stood up, and then began to point at the two to worship.

As soon as it was over, Pei Qu took Nanshan to the new house without letting go.At this time, everyone rushed to the new house in a noisy manner, and after spreading the tent in a lively manner, and the poor new bed was covered with copper coins and fruits, Nanshan was able to sit down.

Everyone finally calmed down and listened to the groom's poems.Bridegroom Pei recited the well-prepared fan poems, and he really won praise from the neighbors. Of course, not everyone among them can read and write.

No matter whether the praise is following the trend or from the heart, the bride finally takes off the fan and reveals her true face.

As a media officer, Nanshan has seen such scenes countless times, but they are all the joy of others and have nothing to do with her.She has also groomed and dressed many brides, but today she does it for herself.Without violating the standards of etiquette and customs, her face is only lightly made up, which makes her look more beautiful, but also has a bit of grown-up taste in it.

The pace of time is so fast, and it is really lamentable to urge the former young child who escaped from danger into a new wife.Those present who knew what happened back then were also filled with emotion at this time, including Pei Qu naturally.

Pei Qu held the hand under her sleeve and remained silent.

Seeing this, Li Guanbai felt a bit of relief in his heart.The old guy said with a smile: "Everyone goes to eat at the bar and eat at the bar, and the bride and groom have to pay the respects of the Duke of Zhou!"

The so-called "performing Zhou Gong's ceremony" was just a euphemism, and everyone laughed and laughed, and went out to drink happily.

But the teachers and students in the house, oh no, the husband and wife are not in a hurry to perform Zhou Gong's ceremony.So the guys secretly guarding the door were immediately disappointed, and they all whispered, "Huh? Is groom Pei doing well? Didn't you say that he has been away for 26 or [-] years?" "Ahem, cough, do you want to send some medicine?" "Didn't you say that the wine has already been added?"...

Only the bridesmaid patted his head and groaned in regret: "Oh, I was overwhelmed by Pei Langjun's poem just now, I forgot to let them drink the wine..."

It's too late!It's too late!
"Then what are they going to play!" "According to what I know about Mr. Pei, he will probably talk about life very boringly..." "Yes, yes, Mr. Pei looks very boring at first glance." "Disappointed"" Let's go or go to the bar"

However, the two people in the new house were not as boring as everyone thought, because Pei Jun took a red ribbon from the desk and was about to cover the bride's eyes.It seems really interesting to think about it this way, but what Pei Jun said was not "Let's have a new way to play", but "Do you want to try to see how much your sense of taste has recovered?".

Such a solemnity really doesn't seem to be the courtesy of the Duke of Zhou.

Nanshan nodded solemnly.

"I'll pinch your nose if necessary." Pei Qu said as he blindfolded her.

The little apprentice still nodded obediently.

Pei Qu brought over the long lacquer plate and set it aside, on which were filled successively the six flavors of salty, sweet, sour, spicy, umami, and bitter in small plates, all of which were in powder form, just dip a little to taste.

Because Nanshan's sense of smell is too sensitive, he is afraid that she will smell it, so he has to pinch her nose when necessary.

Pei Qu asked her to taste them in a random order, and Nanshan answered them all correctly.After testing the six flavors, Nan Shan asked, "Is that right?"

Pei Qu didn't speak in a hurry, but instead stuffed something into her mouth.All of Nanshan's senses were sharpened in an instant, and the long-lost citrus smell almost drowned her.

Pei Qu patiently fed her the oranges petal by petal, but when he was feeding the last petal, he suddenly got up, lifted her chin lightly and kissed her.

The sweet taste of citrus lingers on the lips and teeth, and it is the most tender to share.

"At this time, Huainan oranges are the sweetest." Nanshan said as he lay on the couch covered with dried fruits covered with copper coins, reminiscing about the taste of the citrus he had just eaten.

"It's really sweet." Pei Qu, who had also tasted it, replied honestly.After he finished speaking, he sat up, turned sideways and took off the ribbon covering Nanshan's eyes, "But you'd better get up first."

"Hey?"

"Don't you think it's disgusting? Pick it up and go back to sleep."

As soon as he finished speaking, Nanshan took a jujube from the bed and stuffed it into his mouth. He said indifferently, "Isn't it great that you can eat while sleeping?"

"Didn't you see it just now? These are all put in the basket with the copper coins. Do you know how many people have touched the copper coins? And these dates haven't been washed. Can you eat them so dirty?"

Nan Shan turned over, a little disgusted by the teacher's nagging.He is really old, people like to chatter when they are old.So a certain bride stubbornly curled up in a corner, not even bothering to take off the heavy dress and headgear.The thin shoulders rose and fell slightly, Pei Qu stretched out his hand, and patted her: "I didn't mean to say you on purpose, Master, get up."

Nanshan didn't move.

"You'll catch a cold if you sleep like this." The stupid Pei Jun still didn't realize the problem, and continued to chatter in a calm voice, "Take off the makeup and hair accessories and change the dress, okay?"

Nanshan's shoulders stopped rising and falling, and he didn't move.

Pei Qu bent down to take off her shoes with her, and then took off her complicated headdress.Bridegroom Pei is a patient old man. It took a quarter of an hour to remove all the things from her head, recomb her hair and loosen it with a tie. Finally, he turned her over and leaned over to remove her dress. .Nanshan allowed him to take off the robe on his body, and still lay down lazily.

"Why don't you talk to the teacher?"

Nan Shan sat up abruptly, only an inch away from Pei Qu who was sitting across from him.She looked up at Pei Qu and asked, "A teacher?"

Pei Qu understood immediately, and immediately corrected the mistake: "It's for my husband."

Nan Shan grabs his arms suddenly, pulls them back, leans forward, and pushes Pei Qu down.Facts have proved that people who are used to being thieves can also use their strengths on the festive night. The fact that undressing is too easy.

But how can Mr. Pei be someone who is easy to compromise?How could he endure so many ugly dates and dirty coins touched by countless people? !
So the two argued, and finally Nanshan conceded, but she didn't help, and sat casually on the cushion next to her, watching Pei Qu bustling around.Pei Jun finally made the bed, sat down on the side of the couch, and looked at each other face to face with Nan Shan.

"My husband has worked hard." Nanshan quickly adapted to this change of role, and called her husband generously.

This sound naturally pleased Pei Jun very much, Pei Qu patted the edge of the bed, and said seductively, "Why don't you come over?"

Pei Meiren looked very good under the candlelight, Nanshan looked at him carefully for a while with his chin on his hands, and suddenly asked, "Can you put out the candlelight?"

"why?"

"It's too dazzling... ah." Nanshan turned his head to look at the pair of wedding candles that could burn until dawn, and said against his will.

"It's not dazzling, is there any other reason?"

Nanshan suddenly stopped looking at him, turned his head to look at the dressing table.She could vaguely hear the bustling sound of eating wedding wine outside, so she naturally felt hungry, and since she regained her sense of taste, she was eager to taste all the things she wanted to eat over the years, so she glanced at the various fruits on the table and picked them. He took a red lacquer box from the middle, and lowered his head to eat the fruits neatly stacked in the middle.

There was still a lot of movement outside the new house, and there was a joyful atmosphere of toasting and drinking, and Guan Bai could also hear Guan Bai playing and singing with a pipa in his arms.Hey, it's easy for the master to be ashamed if he drinks too much, and he's not afraid of being laughed at by the neighbors in Yangzhou...

Sixteen Niang probably couldn't listen anymore, she discussed it with Guan Bai for a long time without any result, so she went to discuss it with her father again.But the wicked Shen Fengge said: "Guan Bai Layman will naturally not listen to my persuasion, if his apprentice and grandson come to persuade him, I'm afraid it will be more useful."

Sixteen Niang thought, yes, so she ran to the new house.The bridesmaid, who was happily drinking, couldn't take a look at him. He dropped the cup and rushed over in two or three steps. Finally, he caught Xiaowa at the door of the new house, dragged her back to the banquet, and taught solemnly: "The moment of the flower and candle night is worth the time." Qianjin, don't disturb, don't disturb, do you remember, my lady?"

In exchange, Liu Niang shook her head, pointing to the other side: "But the light is still on, sister Nanshan and Uncle Pei probably haven't rested yet..."

"Hey, why do you still call me that?" The best man was convinced by this stupid little girl, "If your sister gets married, you should call the groom's brother-in-law!"

"Brother-in-law..." Liu Niang changed her words awkwardly, and actually shivered in disgust, and whispered her thoughts: "But Uncle Pei is so old, he can be my father, calling brother-in-law is against my will!"

"Then there is no other way." The bridesmaid said helplessly, "But it is not easy for your father to have such a big daughter at such a young age." The bridesmaid, who did not know the real relationship in the family, said, looking at the moon.

"My father has never been simple!" The proud Sixteen Mother believed that her father was a great hero, but she seemed to have misunderstood the main point of the bridesmaid's words.

She and the bridesmaid were whispering and whispering, while the two in the new house were doing their own things.

Nanshan almost ate all the fruits in the red lacquer box, while Pei Qu got up and hung up all the dresses, and folded the rest of the clothes and accessories one by one.After finishing this, he walked up to Nanshan, leaned over and took the lacquer box in her hand aside, held her forearm and pulled her up.

Nan Shan looked at the burning red candle again, hesitated for a while, then suddenly moved his hand away and turned around.

Pei Qu was taken aback for a moment, but she just stood still with her back to him.

Suddenly she unbuttoned the blouse and slowly took it off, leaving only a small coat, and then unbuttoned the small coat, and there were staggered scars on her back.Nanshan's voice sounded cool and soft in this late autumn night: "That day in Lishan, Mrs. Cui failed to find plum blossom tattoos on my shoulders and arms, but it's not like I didn't..."

Looking down, to the waist, there is a small plum blossom tattoo.Nanshan said slowly: "Aunt Songhua said that women will inevitably wear some thin shirts. If it is summer, it is too easy to find on the shoulders and arms, so she begged several times to ask the mother to carve the tattoo on the back."

Nuan Nuan's fingertips came up suddenly, Nan Shan shivered, and his thin shoulders moved slightly.

"I've never seen what it looks like, is it really ugly?"

Pei Qu rubbed his fingertips lightly, and said honestly, "It's a bit perfunctory, but it's not ugly. It must be painful, right?"

"I don't remember." Nanshan thought for a while and said, "It seems like a long time ago, and I don't remember the appearance of the tattooed nun at that moment."

She tried to recall the past while speaking, but it was really a blur, and it was difficult to capture precise memories.

It was a bit cold in the room, she couldn't help shrugging her shoulders lightly.Pei Qu gently rubbed the scars on her back, her eyes were sore, but finally she said in a nasal voice: "Do you want to put out the candle because I'm afraid I'll see these?"

"Yeah." She replied flatly, "It's not because I'm afraid you'll think you're ugly, but because you feel guilty too easily, and I'm afraid you'll feel uncomfortable after seeing it." She said it very straightforwardly, and then said after a pause, " We are very similar in many cases. We used to like to keep our words secret. Although guessing is not fun, but I figured it out. Now I have nothing to hide, and I am willing to tell you frankly, so I think maybe you too. It’s okay to open up with me. If you’re having a hard time right now, let me know.”

While she was speaking, she still stood with her back straight, her chest heaving slightly, waiting for Pei Qu to answer.

"Today is a day to be happy." Pei Qu said slowly and firmly, holding her shoulders with both hands and turning her around, "I do feel guilty, but it's not because of guilt that I married you today."

Nanshan stared closely at his brown eyes, and raised the corners of his lips: "Then what is your husband still doing?"

Pei Quxian didn't expect a certain bride's expression and tone to change so quickly, and she was even taken aback for a moment.However, Nanshan grabbed his forearm, pushed him to the front of the bed, and quickly overwhelmed him with years of experience in martial arts.

The little beast made three moves and five cuts to solve Luo Shan's obstacles, but the quilt was pulled over by bridegroom Pei and covered his head.Bridegroom Pei said: "It's very cold, and I haven't recovered from the cold yet. Are you sure you want to get so close to me?"

"It's cold, so let's be cold. Today is the night of candles." The little Qinshou readily lifted the quilt to reveal her head, but she didn't move in a hurry, she just hugged Pei Qu, who was a little cold.

Bridegroom Pei thought that she would have a few words of emotion, but in the end she asked: "Husband, do you know how to do it?"

Groom Pei's face became hot.

A bride said: "If your husband is shy, let me come."

"Why do you understand?"

"Huh, have you forgotten that I used to be a matchmaker? When I first entered the official matchmaker office, the matchmaker Yao gave me many secret books to teach the bride how to behave like Duke Zhou."

Bridegroom Pei frowned when he heard this: "How old were you at that time? You haven't reached the age yet?"

"Looks like yes."

Bridegroom Pei endured it for a while, but in the end he couldn't bear it anymore: "I want someone to impeach the official media yamen."

"Huh, Yushitai doesn't seem to care about the official media outlets." During the conversation, a certain bride had already seized the initiative, and the bridegroom was left with "uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu" What are you doing?" Yunyun...

When the gunpowder smoke was everywhere in the new house, it was a scene of joy and harmony outside, the cups and plates were messed up, and the neighbors who knew and didn’t know drank all over the place. table, singing to the moon.

Shen Fengge was also sobered by Guanbai, the only one who was sober in the huge courtyard was Liuniang.The little boy held his chin to look at the self-absorbed Guanbai, then at the new house, then at his father who was resting on the desk, and then looked up at the sky, sighed, and silently concluded: Looking at the serious adults They are really unreliable.
