in spring

Chapter 330 Whispering (New Chapter)

The newlyweds go home separately, and there are follow-up wedding procedures to be carried out.When Chunying, blushing half-faced, followed Hu Fei into the second floor room of the new house, Xi Niang stepped forward to support her and stood face to face with Hu Fei in front of the marriage bed, reminding her in a low voice to Conduct the ceremony of worshiping couples.

The ritual officer sang loudly, Chunying and Hu Fei bowed to each other, and they were helped to sit down beside the bed, Chunying was on the left and Hu Fei was on the right.Xi Niang came up with a grinning dustpan, which was filled with peanuts, lotus seeds, chestnuts, red dates, soybeans, rice, pine nuts, melon seeds and other grains and dried fruits, among which were many new copper coins.She grabbed a handful and threw them on the two newcomers, still singing: "A handful of chestnuts, a handful of dates, the smaller ones follow the bigger ones." , "West of the tent", "North of the tent" and so on.

Xi Niang is a local woman, and she speaks the local dialect. Chunying has only stayed in Suzhou for less than a year, and she can barely understand half of them. They are all auspicious words. Following what others had told him before, he unfolded the front of the Xifu, and wrapped up the scattered Xiguo copper coins. He only felt that Xiguo hurt his body, but joy spread from the depths of his heart little by little.She quietly turned her head to look at Hu Fei, and saw the same joyful smile on the corner of his mouth, seeing those happy fruits falling on his lapel, she suddenly felt something, so she turned her head and looked at her.Although separated by the red hijab, the joy in his eyes was so obvious that Chunying couldn't help showing a sweet smile, and only complained that the hijab was in the way, preventing Hu Fei from seeing her more clearly.

After Xi Niang sang one song, she sang another one. The people crowded by the door to watch the fun got impatient, and some people laughed and scolded: "Xu Liuxiu's family, when will you finish singing? We want to see the bride!" These are all related to Hu Fei. Acquaintances, or the wives, concubines and children of Lu Yougui's business partners, knew that the two families were going to have a wedding, and they couldn't squeeze in the big gift from the court, so they came to the new house to congratulate them.A banquet was already set up in the front yard downstairs, but they didn't care about drinking, so they all crowded together to watch the excitement.

After Xi Niang sang a song, she glared at the man, and couldn't help laughing. She hurriedly brought the tray with the brass scales to Hu Fei, and sang again: "The hijab falls off the bed, the children and grandchildren are full, and the hijab is full of children and grandchildren." Landing on the ground, buying land and land. The groom comes to pick up the hijab—" Hu Fei picked up the scale, stretched it out in front of Chunying, picked it up lightly, and when the hijab fell, Chunying felt her eyes light up, and she looked up at Hu Fei's. Eyes, she pursed her lips and smiled, and lowered her head in embarrassment. When she had the hijab before, she wholeheartedly hoped that Hu Fei would take it off as soon as possible, but now that it was uncovered, she began to worry again: "Brother Xiao Fei, don't you think I'm going to hide it today?" Isn't your dress ridiculous?"

Hu Fei felt that Chunying was very cute today, so he looked at it again and again.People who watched the excitement couldn't help snickering.A very lucky woman invited by the Lu family—that is, a woman with parents, husband, and children, holding a tray in her hand, presented two glasses of wine, and greeted everyone with a smile: "Okay, let's have a glass of wine and eat. Let's all go to the front and have a drink, and let this young couple also make out." Everyone booed.Hu Fei also blushed a little, reached out to take a cup, handed it to Chunying, and took another cup himself.

Chunying was so embarrassed by the laughter of the crowd that she looked up embarrassedly, and at the mercy of Xi Niang, she had a drink with Hu Fei.The wine was good, but it was a bit spicy. She was shy with all her heart and soul, and she was choked on by a choke, and her face flushed from coughing.The little girl Xiaoxiang hurriedly brought the handkerchief.

At this time, the rituals that should be done have been performed, Xi Niang hurriedly told everyone to leave, and then closed the door behind her back with a snickering smile, and the sound of people's footsteps coming downstairs came from outside.

There are only two people left in the new house.Chunying secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but when she heard Hu Fei's voice of relief coming from beside her, she was stunned for a while, and the two looked at each other and both smiled.

Chunying wiped the powder on her face with a handkerchief, and said awkwardly: "It's my mother and Xi Niang who turned me into this... I know it's ridiculous, don't laugh at me..."

"How come?" Hu Fei leaned over his head and looked carefully, "I think it's pretty, round, white and fragrant, just like..." Chunying gritted her teeth: "Don't call it a bun!" Hu Fei was delighted: " It’s just a steamed stuffed bun! I love steamed stuffed buns the most!” He stretched out his arms and hugged her full: “Is the steamed stuffed bun bad? This is the only way to be blessed!”

Chunying was so embarrassed that she stretched out her hand and patted his chest: "Which one is a bun?! Are you making fun of me for being fat?!" Even though she lived an easy life after she left her citizenship, when she came to Jiangnan, her family was rich She has grown a lot, and naturally she is not as thin as before, but she thinks her figure is still quite standard, the places that should be plump are full, and the places that should be thin are also quite thin, even if the skin is a little fairer, it is still far from round and fat Buns come a long way.She firmly refused to admit that she had gained weight!

Hu Fei hugged her and shook her: "It's good to be fat, I love your white and fat appearance. You were too thin before, and I will definitely make you fat in the future. I will never let you be wronged again!"

Chunying gritted her teeth. On this kind of issue, she couldn't communicate with the ancients!Just as he was about to speak seriously to Hu Fei, when he heard a snicker "Pu Chi" from outside the door, he was shocked: "Who?!" He wanted to break away from Hu Fei.

Hu Fei didn't let go, still hugging Chunying, staring at the door: "I heard you! Get the hell out of here! Go down and have a drink!"

The door opened a small crack, and two heads came in. The face on the top was pretty, but the winking expression greatly ruined the original good temperament: "Brother Hu, you are married, the big guy always wants to show off, Give you some good luck, won't you?" The face below is round and chubby, nodding like a chicken eating rice, and said with a smile: "When people get married, there will be troubles in the bridal chamber, Brother Hu, be quick, let's have a good time, After we're done, we can catch up with the next family. Li Min's house is two streets away, and I've already agreed with him, and I'm going to eat at his house after finishing your wedding ceremony!"

Do you dare to rush to the scene if you are making a new house?Chunying broke away from Hu Fei's embrace, sat upright again, and only looked at him, signaling him to send him away quickly.These two are obviously members of the mission, and they don't know what their character is. She is not interested in being the object of other people's jokes.

Hu Fei obviously had the same thoughts, frowning and waving at them: "Come on, let's make a fuss over today, if you drink two more glasses at my house, go find Xiao Li."

The two just snickered and refused to obey: "Brother Hu, how can this be considered a trouble? Our brothers have been born and died together overseas for two or three years. Now that you are married to your sister-in-law, we should see her too, right?" Hehe Laughing, he squeezed open the door and walked in.Behind them, a few more people followed, some held a plate in their hands, some held a large round orange in each hand, and some held a riding whip.

Chunying frowned, wondering if they were all planning to play tricks? !Why do you even have a horsewhip?But looking at their posture, it is obvious that they will not give up unless they are allowed to make a fuss.As soon as he frowned, he smiled first, got up and saluted gracefully, and said: "Since I am brother Xiao Fei's companion on a mission, I can't be negligent. Please have a few more glasses of wine at the banquet. I would like to thank you in advance. Congratulations to everyone." Then he turned to Hu Fei and said with a smile, "You are worrying too much, these are your good brothers who went on missions to the West together, and they are heroes who have made great achievements. Could it be that they are For the pillars of our Ming Dynasty, will you still embarrass me, a little girl? I am afraid that I want to toast to you alone? They are all partners who have experienced life and death together, and of course they will not be like those reckless people who don't know the importance. You made fun of us insulting us. Don't think too much, lest you colden the hearts of your good friends." After saying that, he gave him a wink.Hu Fei immediately returned his gaze, expressing acceptance.

The handsome-looking man could see it clearly, and said a little embarrassingly: "Sister-in-law is so blunt, no wonder Brother Hu is so devoted to you." Chun Ying has already mentioned this, if they still refuse to forgive, how can they Didn't he say that he didn't treat Hu Fei as a brother, and he wasn't a hero, so he wanted to make things difficult for the little girl?They have just come back from some experience, and they have been praised highly by the people around these few days. It is the time when they are full of enthusiasm and want to make a career, so they are embarrassed to do anything else.

Hu Fei was like a mirror in his heart, and Dang even smiled like a flower in a very cooperative way: "My lady is right! They are all brothers from my own family. Come, come, let's have a drink! I will accompany everyone to have a drink! Today must be If you don't get drunk, you won't return!" He stretched out his arms and hugged the man's shoulders, and whispered, "Xu Mu, I'll let you get half of what I said that day, and you take him away!"

Xu Mo raised his eyebrows and made up his mind, so he narrowed his eyes with a smile, and lowered his voice: "Brother Hu, a moment of spring night is worth a thousand gold, and my younger brother is knowledgeable and interesting. You must at least give me a thousand gold, how can half a profit be enough?" ?”

Hu Fei gritted his teeth: "It's too little? Then don't ask for it!" Xu Mo immediately grabbed the flagon on the table and said, "Come on, everyone congratulate Brother Hu, let's go to Li Min after drinking!" One by one, they came in and had a drink with Hu Fei, shared some happy fruits sprinkled on the bed curtain, and then obediently left.Hu Fei slammed the door hard and dropped the latch, grinning grinningly: "I see who else can disturb us!"

Chunying lay beside the bed laughing until her stomach ached. Hearing this, she propped up half of her body and glanced at him: "Are you doing business with that person? Don't be at a disadvantage."

Hu Fei's whole body turned numb from her stare, and he came up to him with a smile and said, "I'm not a person who is willing to suffer? Don't worry, lady!" He wanted to hug him.

Chunying shrank back and dodged it, came to the table, reached out and took off the golden crown on her head, and sighed: "It's really heavy! After holding it for a long time, it's finally easy now." She glanced at Hu Fei again : "Don't touch me, I haven't forgiven you for saying I look like a bun!"

Hu Fei hurriedly stepped forward to take her golden crown, and was about to untie her cloud shoulders, but she slapped his hands away, and then he turned around awkwardly and picked a few snacks that hadn't completely cooled down from the dishes on the table, and sent them to He smiled flatteringly on her lips and said, "You must be hungry, right? Let's eat something first to fill our stomachs."

Chunying looked at him, felt that she was indeed hungry, so she wanted to take the snack, paused, took a bite of his hand with a smirk, and looked at him with a smile.Hu Fei was overjoyed, and ate the rest of the dim sum in one bite, and handed her another piece.In this way, the two finished eating a plate of pancakes stuffed with peanut and lotus paste. Chunying took a few mouthfuls of vegetables and fed them to him. Hu Fei then took a clean cup and poured a glass of wine. You sipped me one sip at a time, looked at each other and smiled, and felt that this wine was very sweet, and it was much better than the cup of wine just now.

There was a sound of "bang bang" outside the window, Chunying was a little strange: "What is that sound?" Hu Fei thought for a while, and he knew it, got up and went to the window to open the window, turned around and smiled and said: "It's from the side of Taihu Lake. Fireworks. This place is close to Taihu Lake, and there are no buildings blocking it, so I can see it clearly."

Chunying walked up to him in surprise, looked around, and saw golden flowers blooming in the night sky to the southwest. At the end of the densely lit area, there were countless colorful lights flickering, and there was faint drum music. He hurriedly said: "I heard that the prefect of Suzhou arranged a fireworks and lantern show tonight, so I guess it was there? It seems that he finally did a good job. Is the drum music singing?"

Hu Fei nodded: "With the Lantern Festival, how can there be no drama to add to the fun? Everyone in Suzhou City must have gone to see it tonight. When I was in Suzhou, I once saw a Lantern Festival. There are fire dragon dancers, jugglers, stalls selling all kinds of glutinous rice balls and snacks, and there are also boats out to sell supper. Standing on the bridge, I feel that the world is full of lights. Looking back, I feel that the world is full of lights. It’s human, so lively!” After finishing speaking, he sighed with some regret: “We’re getting married tonight, so we can’t go to see it.” But immediately he embraced Chunying happily: “Wait until Mid-Autumn Festival, or next year’s Lantern Festival.” , I’ll take you to have fun too, how about it? Let’s row a small boat too, stop wherever you like to watch the scenery, listen to which little opera you like, or eat snacks from which stall, it’s all up to you the meaning of."

Chunying leaned against him softly, and said nostalgicly: "This reminds me of the first time we met... that was on the night of the Lantern Festival. I still remember the Lantern Festival outside Dong'an Gate in the capital. I have guessed all the lantern riddles, but you took the lead. I was so angry at that time!" Looking up at him, there was a sweet smile on the corner of his mouth, "At that time, I never thought that I would get married eight years later. for you……"

Hu Fei smiled: "I also remember. At that time, you were a little girl in her early ten years old, with a bun, thin and small. At that time, I only thought you were very interesting. You were obviously a child of a poor family. She actually went to school and could read, but I never thought that you would become my wife."

Chunying reached out and tapped his nose: "You still talk about me. You were young at that time, and you still had a beard. You looked like..." She wanted to talk about the Japanese devils in old revolutionary movies, but she thought of Hu Fei couldn't understand, so he changed his words, "It's like a child wearing an adult's clothes, it's so ridiculous!"

Hu Fei quickly grabbed her finger: "Nonsense! You obviously regarded me as an adult at that time, and you still looked surprised when I shaved my beard later!" Bite her finger lightly: "Lie! Your child is not good!"

Chun Ying blushed from being bitten by him, she quickly pulled her hand back, and gave him a look: "Why did you bite me?! At that time, you were obviously pretending to be an adult!"

Hu Fei giggled: "Yes, yes, it is what the lady says. But, my good lady, spring night is worth a thousand dollars, should we rest? I am no longer a child."

Chunying blushed, bit her lip and bowed her head in silence.Hu Fei closed the window, looked back at her, frowned, and hugged her by the waist with both hands.

Chunying suddenly flew into the air, startled: "Ah, what are you going to do?!" Hu Fei smiled without saying a word, and strode towards the new bed with big strides.

(The wedding scene...is over...For those who want to eat meat, please make up your mind...)
