Red apricots make spring

Chapter 251 The night of the bridal chamber
The Lu Mansion held a big banquet for guests, and the crowd was full of crowds.

However, Lu Ce and Ruan Wen's trip to the palace delayed the auspicious time, Lu Fenglin looked through the almanac again, and finally set the two of them to get married at the third quarter of the unitary time, so Ruan Wen got off the sedan chair and was led to a secluded place to rest and wait.Fortunately, there is no custom here that the bride is not allowed to eat. Although Wenrou has no appetite, she drank a cup of lotus seed and white fungus soup, took a nap, and then the bride made up for her. When it was getting dark, she was helped to the main hall to worship.

The custom of church worship here is different from what Ruan Rou has seen in TV movies before.She and Lu Ce didn't need to pray to heaven and earth, but to Lu Chenzhou, Lu Fenglin, and relatives and friends present in turn. Xi Niang brought two glasses of wine and asked them to drink together, and called it "Acacia Wine" .

I don't know what is mixed in the wine, it tastes a bit bitter, very weird, and it is such an intimate and ambiguous gesture in front of the elders and a large group of strangers, tenderness can't help but blush and heartbeat, However, this group of onlookers still didn't let them go, laughing and shouting "one more drink" one after another, even Lu Chenzhou followed suit, and she and Lu Ce were forced to drink three glasses of wine each.

While they were drinking, Xi Niang chattered about auspicious things like having a baby early and growing old together, because she got too close, and when she raised her eyes gently, she could see Lu Ce's beautiful lips approaching under the bright candlelight. He was so close, he quickly moved his eyes up a little more, and met his deep and smiling eyes again, closed his eyes in a panic and downed the wine in one gulp, causing the onlookers to burst into laughter again.

After drinking the carnival wine, Lu Ce stayed behind as usual to persuade everyone to drink a round of wedding wine.Ruan Wen was helped back to the bridal chamber by the two bridesmaids, but as she walked, she kept thinking about Lu Ce's eyes just now, and she always felt that there was something unclear in it, but she couldn't ask, so she had to express her doubts Put it back in your heart.

The bridal chamber was set up in Linfengxuan where Lu Ce lived, and it was decorated inside and out, and the first sight was filled with red.There are red lanterns high in front of the courtyard gate, red happy characters are pasted on the doors and windows, a pair of arm-thin red happy candles are burning on the table, and even the bed curtains have been replaced with soft red gauze of the same color, hazy and stacked. Layers upon layers, the indescribable charming charm.

The room is very quiet, but from time to time, there are bursts of laughter and loud noises faintly carried along the wind.

Sitting gently on the edge of the bed, with her hands folded on her lap, she opened her eyes to see the two bridesmaids leading a few maidservants busy inside and out,
Thinking that the bridal chamber would be celebrated in a short while, she was both happy and panicked, and she didn't know whether she wanted the time to pass faster or slower.

"Master will probably be delayed for a while, Madam, how about something to eat first?" Cai Yun thoughtfully brought food and wine to the table.

"I don't want to eat, you can eat." Even though she didn't eat much this day, Rourou still didn't feel hungry, she just felt more and more nervous, and her palms were about to sweat.

"No wonder Madam has no appetite, it's really too hot today." Cai Yun thought for a while and smiled, "I think it's better to get two bowls of iced sour plum soup. Madam has an appetizer after drinking it, so at least I can eat two bites."

Chilled sour plum soup!In this year, it is the best drink to relieve the heat in summer. If you can drink a large bowl in one go, a line of ice will spread down your throat...

It's fun to think about it!Rou Rou quickly nodded and said: "Okay, you can get some more, I just want to drink that."

Cai Yun responded, and walked out with a smile, but he was pulled back by a bridal wife, who stopped him and said, "You can't drink that."

"Why?" Cai Yun was confused.

Xi Niang looked at Cai Yun in embarrassment, this is clearly an unprofessional yellow-haired girl, how should I tell her?He had no choice but to reply perfunctorily: "It's too cold, drinking it will hurt your health."

"Let her get it." She said with a gentle smile, "My body is not so weak. It was so hot in the past years that I even chewed ice. It's okay to drink two bowls of sour plum soup."

"No! Absolutely don't drink!" Xi Niang shook her head hastily.

"Huh?" He looked at her tenderly and confusedly.

The bridal wife didn't know how to explain it for a while, she groaned for a while, and finally Fang had an idea: "It doesn't matter what you eat or drink in the past, but today is my wife's big day, it only happens once in a lifetime, if I get drunk, wouldn't it be a disaster? "

Thinking about the situation described by Xi Niang, it seemed really embarrassing, Wen Rou suddenly blushed, and muttered in a low voice: "If you don't drink, then don't drink!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Rourou saw Xi Niang breathed a sigh of relief, and took a dustpan to sprinkle dried fruits on the bed. She couldn't help thinking of the embarrassing situation when she was hit by a chestnut during the "bridal wedding" with Lu Ce, and hurriedly stood up. He got up and said, "Please, can you stop spreading these disgusting things on the bed?"

Xi Niang said with a smile: "This is the rule, it cannot be changed." Without waiting for Wen Rou to speak, she grabbed a handful of dried fruits and sprinkled them on the bed.

As long as it is a rule, there is nothing that cannot be changed.But this reasoning didn't make sense to Xi Niang, Rou Rou had to sit down helplessly with her fingers, but for some reason, she felt a little hot and dry, and seeing that the doors and windows were closed, she ordered Cai Yun to open the windows.

The slightly cool night breeze blows in with the refreshing fragrance of flowers. Caiyun stood at the window and called out "cool", but Wenrou felt hotter. Just as he was about to stand at the window to enjoy the cool breeze, another bridesmaid Hastily closed the window tightly.

"Aren't you allowed to breathe?" Wen Wen gritted her teeth with hatred.

"It's not forbidden." Xi Niang said with a smile: "It's time for Young Master to enter the room. If you don't close the window, wouldn't it be a bit inconvenient?"

Wen Rou was rendered speechless, so she simply shut up, endured the heat, and continued to sit there.

The two bridesmaids cleaned up the house, and saw that Lu Ce hadn't come in, so they stood at the table and hurriedly ate some food and wine.According to Mother Wen's instructions in advance, Caiyun took out two red envelopes from his purse and stuffed them into their hands when they finished eating and packed up the leftovers.

The bridesmaids took the red envelopes and weighed the weight with their hands. They were so happy that they quickly saluted and thanked Wenrou. One of them quietly took out a small porcelain pot from his sleeve, handed it to Wenrou, and said, "This, Ma'am, please put it away."

"What is this?" She had never heard of Xi Niang wanting to return the gift, Wenrou wanted to open the porcelain jar to have a look, but who would have thought that Xi Niang whispered a few words in her ear and asked her to do it again He couldn't lift his head up either, clutching the porcelain pot tightly, his face flushed red.

"Ma'am, I'm leaving!" Cai Yun called out softly when he was led out by the bridesmaids.

Wenrou didn't hear it at all, just stared at the ground in a daze.Before Cai Yun could shout again, he was dragged out by two bridesmaids, and then the door was closed behind him with a "touch".

The room suddenly fell silent, and only then did Wen Wen come back to her senses, listening to her puffing heartbeat, she became more and more nervous, and was regretting why she didn't fall in love twice more before time travel, otherwise she wouldn't be so nervous When he was at a loss, Lu Ce had pushed the door lightly and entered.

"Have you been waiting?" Lu Ce stood by the door, looking at Gentle, who was sitting in the shadow of the flickering candle, and smiled slightly.

After Gentle reacted, she jumped up like a frightened rabbit, hurriedly stuffed the porcelain pot in her hand under the pillow, and said in a panic, "Fortunately... not too long..."

Damn it!When your mind is crooked, you will think of crooked places when you hear everything?It was obvious that what Lu Ce said was an ordinary sentence, but when she thought about it, she realized another meaning, and hurriedly changed her words: "No, it's not long at all!"

Lu Ce was slightly taken aback, then suddenly realized what she was thinking, and couldn't help but chuckled softly.

Hearing him laugh, Wen Rou became more and more ashamed, secretly complaining that she was worthless, it was obviously not the first time she entered the bridal chamber, why was she more nervous and flustered than last time?But complaining, there is still a small voice in my heart defending myself, the last time it was a fake wedding, this time it is for real, it is absolutely different...

Lu Ce came over and stroked her hair, and said with a smile, "Am I so scary? Look at your sweat."

His tone was gentle and relaxed, which eased the gentle tension a little bit, and he blurted out complaining: "Wrapped in layers of thick clothes on a hot day, and no one is allowed to drink iced sour plum soup, and the windows are not allowed to be opened. Are you sweating?"

"Well, it is indeed extremely hot." Lu Ce nodded while holding back a smile, "Why don't you take off your outer clothes?"

Wen Rou is in a state of no idea at all at the moment. Hearing what he said, she unbuttoned the buttons reflexively. Just as she unbuttoned the two buttons, she suddenly remembered something was wrong, and quickly buttoned them back, stammering: "I...I don't It's hot, I won't take it off..."

Looking at her flustered and extremely shy appearance, Lu Ce couldn't tell whether it was pity or love, his heart beat faster involuntarily, barely controlled his emotions, and said with a low voice, "You don't take off, I can take it off."

"No... don't..." Rourou continued to stammer, her face was almost scalded into a furnace, but she was quick-witted, she suddenly remembered something, and she breathed a sigh of relief: "Someone came to the bridal chamber later, and saw you even With all the clothes off, I don't know what to say..."

"Having a bridal chamber?" Lu Ce shook his head and said with a smile, "You have seen such a custom in the book left by my grandmother, in fact, you don't need to have a bridal chamber when you get married."

Only then did Rourou remember that the world she was in was not exactly the same as the original world, and quickly lowered her head to cover up: "I...I don't know, my mother didn't tell me this..."

Lu Ce knew that she had agreed to his grandfather, and he didn't care about some things that he couldn't say clearly. He just smiled and nodded, and couldn't help teasing her: "Excuse me, madam, I'm very hot, can I take it off?" clothes?"

"You...you..." He was not allowed to take it off for no reason, so Wenrou had to be an ostrich temporarily, "You can...I...I'll take a shower..." After she finished speaking, she turned her head and walked across the curtain run in the inner room.
