Chapter 117: I am self-willed to wear cloth shoes and linen (Part 1) (3)

I closed my eyes, as if seeing the spring here, peaches, plums, plumes, willow apricots, pear blossoms, light smoke and soft moon.
Xihe and I looked at each other and smiled. Xihe said to Aunt Huang, "Aunt Huang, I wonder if there is land or a house for sale in the village?"
Aunt Huang shook his head: "There are people selling land in the village, but there are no houses. After all, there are several generations of people here, and they usually won't sell it."
Xihe seemed to say with regret: "Then if Niang Xie and I want to live for a long time, we have to buy Master Li's house."
Aunt Huang was startled, and immediately laughed: "Are you not leaving?"
I nodded: "Don't go. It's better to go to Jiangnan, where you are not familiar with life. What's more, I believe that God asked us to stay."
Aunt Huang said to the Buddha: "This is my fate with Niang Xie."
I smiled and said nothing.
Aunt Huang came up in spirit, but said to Xi He worriedly: "Master Li offers two hundred taels for this house. I will discuss with him tomorrow. How much silver do you think is appropriate?"
Xihe's smile was like the rising sun in the sky: "Why don't I go with you?"
Aunt Huang thought for a while and said, "It's okay. But, do you have enough money? If not, I..."
Before she finished her words, Xihe interrupted softly: "Thank you Aunt Huang, I think it's enough."
On the second day, Aunt Huang took Xihe to Master Li's house. When he returned, the deed was in Xihe's hands.
"Brother Xie, I will find some brothers these days to help you clean up this house. Mother, you and Mother Xie will go to the town to buy some utensils and come back." Huang Da Ge said to us.
Xihe stood beside me with a satisfied smile on his face.
In the next few days, Big Brother Huang brought the guys from the village to help us repair the roof, and changed the room settings according to what Xi He and I wanted.
In fact, there are everything in Master Li's house, and they are all middle and upper-class things. It's just that it may only be used to dissipate the summer, and there is no one on weekdays, some things in daily life are naturally not complete. Aunt Huang and I went to town to buy some household pots and pans, and other necessary things.
Before the winter, everything was packed up.
The day before I moved, I lay side by side with Xi He on the bed. After all, this room is small and if he sleeps on the ground, Aunt Huang will be suspicious.
However, Xi He is a gentleman of Qianqian, so we naturally stop at courtesy.
"Weir, we will move in tomorrow. Are you happy?" He asked softly.
I closed my eyes: "From tomorrow, we will have a new life. Xihe, are you willing?"
"Do you want to ask this until now?" He turned around and embraced me, struggling in my heart, but I still didn't break free.
"This kind of life is what I have always dreamed of, but now it has become a reality, do you say I am willing?"
He touched the top of my head with his chin, and I snuggled into his arms: "Thank you, Xi He."
He lowered his head, his eyes full of affection. My heart sank little by little in that gaze.
He rubbed the tip of my nose back and forth with the tip of his nose, which made me itchy, but his heart was anxious.
What he is going to do, I have almost guessed. But should I allow it or refuse it?
Just when I was thinking about this question, his lips pressed against mine.
His lips are very soft and warm, and my heart beats fiercely, but I am weak and unable to push him away.
This kiss is very long, it takes almost my entire life to kiss.
"Xihe...I..." I murmured in the gap between his mouth.
"Vir, I'm so happy." His voice was full of honey, and the hand that was holding my waist tightened.
I lowered my head and hid in his arms embarrassedly.
His chest is broad and warm, which makes people feel extremely at ease. It is like a traveler who has been away from home for a long time. When he returns home, he sees the lamp that belongs to the house in the dark night. All the darkness and fatigue are gone, just want to indulge in the warmth.
He embraced me. Although I felt his heart beating hard and his hands were hot, he took a long breath: "Go to sleep, I will get up early tomorrow."
I almost breathed a sigh of relief, but in my heart, I had made up my mind.
We got up early the next morning. Because it is a move, it takes noon, and it is a new beginning, so it is naturally more grand.
I put on a dress I brought out of the palace. The crimson cotton skirt was embroidered with red roses in full bloom. I looked at it suddenly, like a wedding dress.
The hair was turned into a wishful bun, and a few scarlet bead flowers and a golden rose hairpin were inserted. Simply put on powder. This is my first time dressing up since I left the palace.
Xihe also changed into a purple Confucian shirt, with flowing moire embroidered on the neckline and cuffs. Wearing a wooden crown on his head, he looks handsome and graceful.
When they arrived at the new house, Brother Huang and the others were ready. Seeing us walking side by side, I was surprised.
"Xie Niang, you look so beautiful." Huang Aunt took my hand and looked carefully.
I smiled shyly: "Auntie, today is a new start for me and Xie Lang, this is more grand."
Aunt Huang nodded: "Naturally, naturally, it's not worth our thoughts."
Seeing the time came, Aunt Huang didn't say much, she handed a rice bucket to me, held it in my arms, and walked in safely.
The "Huoan" had been in this room before, and the high candle was lit for three days.
And the most important thing on this day is to open the stove to entertain relatives and friends.
The stove made by Brother Huang is very particular. The stove is seven feet and nine inches long, symbolizing the big dipper hanging high in the sky, the lucky stars shining high, and the vast territory of Kyushu Island on the ground. Twelve months a year, cook meals every month. The materials for building the stove are made by taking five inches of new soil and pure soil underground, and then adding pig liver powder and mud with well water.
I was standing in the kitchen, and Aunt Huang and some other women in the village helped me cook dishes and banquet the villagers.
Celery and tofu are necessary, which means "hard work and get rich".
Sweet soup is also indispensable. Aunt Huang wants me to make longan and lotus seed soup, which means "wealth and wealth join the heart".
Before, we also asked Big Brother Huang to come to the town to help us buy the ingredients, so everyone had a very happy meal.
I watched Xihe sitting among them, not at all like the prince who was aloft in the palace. At this time, he was dressed plainly, chatting with the people, and the smile between his eyebrows was even worse than in the palace.
"Xie Niang, this dish is ready, you take it out." Aunt Huang called to me and gave me a plate of stew in her hand.
I smiled at her: "Go here, aunt."
I also feel happy in this environment and life, don't I.
At night, in the bedroom, I could not help but redden again as I looked at the red quilt.
Aunt Huang and a few women in the village quietly made this for us. She also hung the pomegranates from the summer months by the bed.
"Weir, look." Xihe looked at the bed and whispered to me.
I heard the sound and saw it, and couldn't help being taken aback.
The bed was sprinkled with red dates, peanuts, longans, and lotus seeds. I know this custom, and I have seen it at the big wedding.
I understand what Aunt Huang meant. She hoped that Xihe and I could have another child, so she bothered to arrange it.
With tears in my eyes, Xi He embraced me: "Vir, I'm so happy."
I also put my hand around him: "Xie Lang, me too."
He shook his body: "Vil, what are you calling me?"
I looked up at him, his eyes shone like stars.
"Xie Lang, my husband."
This night, I regard it as my wedding night. Compared to the night before, this night seems more worthy of the name.
