Chapter 406 Red Candle(1/2)
There were not many important people present at the wedding banquet, but it was still very lively. Banquets were set up in the front and back offices and in several surrounding yards. There were also running water banquets arranged along the entire long street, so that most people in the county could have a few bites.
Food and drinks.
The Qingfu camp on the east bank of Fujiang River has distributed two jars of wine to every soldier, and every soldier can eat wedding candies and eggs.
In comparison, the new house is the quietest...
The room is lit with red candles, the light and shadow are swaying, and the bride is sitting alone by the couch, just like "the lights smile on the shy person".
Gao Mingyue listened carefully and could still hear the noise coming from far away, but she couldn't tell whether it was a toast or a fist pump.
When there was no one else in the room, she reached back and touched a handful, and found a big red date. She hesitated to eat it for fear of smearing the rouge on her lips.
While I was thinking about it, I heard someone pushing the door open in the outer room, and then I heard Li Xia's voice speaking.
"Thank you, Mrs. Jiang, for the reminder..."
"Hey, Li Zhixian is in a hurry to enter the bridal chamber, so I won't bother you anymore..."
Gao Mingyue was startled, and quickly threw the big red dates behind her, then picked up the round fan to cover her face.
Taking a peek, Li Xia came over with a wine tray. He first put the things on the table, then turned around the screen and went to the outer room to bolt the door.
Hearing the "click" sound, Gao Mingyue became more and more nervous. The toes of a pair of red embroidered shoes under her feet touched each other and shrank again.
"Huh? Why don't you put down the fan?" Li Xia had come back and sat down next to her, with a smile in his voice.
Speaking of which, the two of them had seen each other every day in the past few days, and it was indeed unnecessary to cover them up with the fan at this time.
Gao Mingyue then slowly put down the fan in his hand.
The flower crown on her head is still swaying, her hair is tied up, which adds a bit more charm than the usual little girl dress. Her eyebrows have been painted, her face has been rouged, and her cheeks are flushed, maybe because she is ashamed or because she has wiped her cheeks.
Red, skin is smooth and white.
Li Xia probably drank some wine, and his face was a little flushed, which relieved some of his usual cold aura. There was a big red flower hanging on his chest, which made him look a little silly, but he also looked more handsome and even cute.
As they looked at each other, their breathing seemed to have stopped for a long time.
After a long while, Gao Mingyue gently fanned the fan in his hand and turned his head.
"Stupefied?"
Her tone was a little shy, a little angry, and a little happy.
Li Xia nodded and said: "I remember when I took off your mask for the first time on Hujun Mountain, I was so amazed by you... Today is the same."
Gao Mingyue was obviously very happy. She quickly glanced at Li Xia again and lowered her head.
"Why are you here so early? The banquet has not ended yet, and you, the groom, have not gone to thank the guests."
"I don't like drinking, and I see the guests every day, so I don't need to stay with them for a long time."
"Wouldn't it be inappropriate?"
"It doesn't matter, getting married is ultimately a matter of two people."
"Well... how are Qiao'er and Little Bamboo Bear doing?" Gao Mingyue was a little embarrassed to ask, but she was really worried and whispered: "Everyone is so busy, will they forget to feed them?"
"Don't worry, they are all well fed." Li Xia asked, "Is this flower crown on your head heavy? Can I help you take it off?"
Gao Mingyue was familiar with him, and without any polite words, she responded honestly: "It's a bit heavy, but you still need to get your hair tied first, right? I just heard you and Mrs. Jiang talking outside."
"Well, we can do it ourselves without bothering her."
Li Xia stood up and picked up the scissors from the plate, ran her hands over the black hair on the back of Gao Mingyue's head, and carefully cut off a small strip.
"You come and cut mine..."
The two strands of hair formed a strand at their fingertips, tied with a red rope and tied in a concentric knot... After that, Gao Mingyue's hand was held by Li Xia, and they moved closer to each other.
They are married as husband and wife.
This small action obviously has a very different meaning. Gao Mingyue looked at Li Xia with mist in her eyes.
"Official...official..."
Li Xia leaned over and got closer.
"Wait a minute...and... Hexin wine..."
That was the wine vessel that Li Xia brought in just now. A gourd was cut into two scoops, and the handles were connected with red threads. Drinking this glass of wine together meant that the two of them had become one, and that they would share joys and sorrows from now on.
"The wine is so sweet." Gao Mingyue held the ladle and couldn't help but sigh.
Li Xia got closer and smelled the delicious fragrance on her body, and could see the rouge on her lips becoming shiny due to the wine.
He smiled and suddenly felt that he quite liked these two aspects of wedding customs. It was much more interesting than giving out wedding money and saluting during the day.
After placing the wine vessel, Li Xia put the two ladles together and tied them with red thread, forming a complete gourd again.
He helped Gao Mingyue take off the flower crown from his head, took off the big red flowers from his body, sat back on the couch, and put his arms around Gao Mingyue into his arms.
"We will be husband and wife from now on, please take good care of us."
Gao Mingyue did not refuse, rubbed her head on Li Xia's chest, and whispered: "Do you remember? That outpost in Xiacaicheng..."
"Remember, you tied up my hair with the silver chain my mother left behind, and I told others that you were my wife."
"You are shameless. At that time... I was not your wife."
"But now it is."
Gao Mingyue said "hmm" and whispered: "Actually... I didn't fall asleep that night, thinking about how you... could be so shameless."
"Huh? It's not thick, you can touch it."
Gao Mingyue's hand was held by Li Xia and moved towards his face, stroking from his straight nose to the stubble on his lips and down to his neck little by little.
When she placed it on his chest, she couldn't help but squeeze his muscles and quickly shrink them.
His cheeks were already burning hot.
"Um?"
Gao Mingyue said shyly: "What are you doing... I accidentally..."
"dislike?"
"If you are a little bit curious, just a little bit."
"It doesn't matter if you want to see your own husband."
"Is it really okay?"
"It's okay. You know you have to work hard every day to get it, and there's also the one on your back." Li Xia put one arm around Gao Mingyue and held her hand with the other, "And the one here..."
"So hard...I'm just..."
"Just what?"
The red candle was swaying on the table, and the two people on the couch were hugging each other. Li Xia lowered her head and leaned into Gao Mingyue's ear to ask softly, but she still refused to answer.
Then there was a rustling sound, and the breathing became heavier...
The curtain was lowered.
A pair of boots fell to the ground, followed by a red embroidered shoe.
By the time the other one also fell to the ground, Gao Mingyue was completely sitting on Li Xia.
"Well"
After kissing for an unknown amount of time, the two separated again. Her eyes were blurry, but her little hand covering Li Xia was unwilling to take away.
"Actually... I've been curious about it for a long time... Well..."
The dress was pushed aside, and it was impossible to tell whose it belonged to.
Gao Mingyue gradually immersed herself in such tenderness and affection, her mind was in a daze, and she felt something was hurting her, so she stretched out her hand to push.
…
After a while, she was startled.
"It won't work...it definitely won't work...well, it really won't work...it's so scary..."
"Don't be afraid, it won't hurt."
The blush on Gao Mingyue's face did not fade, she closed her eyes tightly, took a peek, and quickly closed them again.
"No, no... let's just kiss, okay?"
She shrank back and twisted her legs tightly together. This moment was extremely touching. But Li Xia was very patient and hugged her again gently.
"It doesn't hurt like kissing, and it's more comfortable." He felt the fragrance on her body and comforted her in a low voice: "Don't worry, it won't hurt. Just relax..."
"Well"
Li Xia has some experience and knows that a woman's first pain is often not due to rupture, but to spasms caused by fear.
He could see that Gao Mingyue was extremely scared and had already made small movements to resist.
At this time, no matter how emotional you are, you can’t be anxious...
