Xu Zhenyun opened his eyes and felt that the wooden house in front of him was strange.
What comes into view is a classical assorted flower window with a dazzling red word "囍" on it.
The adjacent stretch wooden door is also painted in festive red, and in front of the door is a pair of exquisite five-legged black wood smokers.
The fine smoke is lingering, changing in thousands of directions, entwined with a faint fragrance, which seems to have the effect of calming the mind and diluting the noisy sounds outside.
Where is this?
Xu Zhenyun turned around blankly.
About one meter behind you is a large mica screen with a delicate picture of "mandarin ducks playing in the water" painted on it.
Across the screen, what is in front of you is a begonia flower-enclosed bed with a "bed within a bed" structure.
The fine green and white bead curtains are rolled up, and there is a person sitting on the small bed in the center. He is wearing a bright red Jifu, with a slim figure, and his green and white hands are spread across his knees.
The bright red hijab covers the face, giving rise to endless reveries.
Bride!?
Xu Zhenyun lowered his head suddenly and realized that he was also wearing a red and black classical dress and a gauze hat, which looked like a groom in a costume drama.
Am I the groom?
When did the scripted game start?
In confusion, Xu Zhenyun's eyes were divergent, but his field of vision was wide:
There is a slender jade Ruyi placed on the yellow pear wood dressing table next to the bed. The word "囍" is plastered everywhere on the bed, on the screen, on the dressing table, and on the bed table.
There is a narrow room at the end of the bed to the north, covered by a green cloth curtain. You can see from the gap below that there is a brand new toilet painted with red paint.
There are seven or eight small candlesticks and lamps on the suspension beams in the four corners of the room, with blue flames dancing and light and shadow swaying.
Suddenly, a thought penetrated Xu Zhenyun's brain and wedged deep into his soul:
Traveled through...
Xu Zhenyun. In the Immortal Dynasty of the Jin Dynasty, Nanyang County was under the direct jurisdiction of Shendu, and the Xu family in Yuhuafang.
His father was a monk of unknown rank. He died due to the "Unrest in the City of Gods" sixteen years ago. His mother died of illness a year later.
Xu Zhenyun has just turned eighteen. Because he is quite talented in martial arts, he has embarked on the path of "Taoism" since he was twelve years old. He practiced martial arts full-time at Baishi Martial Arts Hall and has reached the eighth level of physical skills so far.
As long as you advance to the ninth level of Taishu, you will be eligible to participate in the national election...
"Wait a minute, what happened to the bride on the bed and her own outfit?" The flickering blue lights in front of her eyes brought Xu Zhenyun back to reality.
This thought came to mind, and the corresponding memory immediately became clear in my mind.
Xu Zhenyun was suddenly stunned—it was actually true!
As the furnishings in the house declare, today is Xu Zhenyun’s wedding day, the wedding night!
Xu Zhenyun was dumbfounded.
Then there was a rush in my mind, and the causes and consequences emerged.
Xu Zhenyun's father, Xu Fengzhi, made a close friend, Ran Dazhou, and the two became sworn brothers. After the birth of their respective children, one day they made a drunken promise and made a baby wedding.
Because of the deep friendship between the two families, and the fact that Xu Zhenyun and Ran Chuchu were childhood sweethearts when they were young, even though Xu Fengzhi passed away, the engagement has never wavered and continues to this day.
Shortly after Xu Zhenyun came of age, today's results were achieved.
…
After digesting the information, Xu Zhenyun dispelled his confusion, and his momentary joy overcame the shock of "traveling".
Ran Chuchu is a girl with outstanding looks and gentle personality!
At family gatherings, when the eldest uncle, third uncle, and fourth uncle always praised Xu Zhenyun as a rare blessing in his life to marry Ran ChuChu, his future father-in-law, Ran Dazhou, was never modest and just drank with a smile.
Is this pie in the sky?
"嘤嘤嘤..."
Just at this moment, the bride, who was sitting on the bed, suddenly made a sound.
She pressed her legs closer together, and her straight body swayed slightly, as if she had waited too long, and she issued a subtle urging.
Xu Zhenyun came to the dressing table in two or two steps, picked up Yu Ruyi, turned around and walked to the bed.
Just when he was about to take off his hijab, Xu Zhenyun suddenly stopped.
"Wait a minute; why am I filled with joy and not at all worried about having something happen with a stranger? And why is it that I feel guilty about occupying the magpie's nest and killing the original owner?"
A strange thought came to Xu Zhenyun's mind.
After careful reflection, Xu Zhenyun discovered: because "Ran Chuchu" is not a stranger.
I didn't just pick up a chronicle-style memory package of the original owner; I completely felt all the original owner's experiences, as if I had experienced them personally; the intensity and depth were no less than the period of my life on earth.
It's as if the same self has two pasts, completely parallel and going hand in hand.
At the same time, my mental strength has also become very strong, which is obviously different from ordinary people!
It turns out that soul traveling is a kind of "fusion"? Now my emotions, consciousness, and world view are all the product of the fusion of two people? I always thought it was similar to "seizing one's body"...
Online novels are harmful to people...
After thinking it through completely, Xu Zhenyun felt that his thoughts were clear and his mind was calm. No longer hesitating, he neatly took off the red hijab.
Wow!
Xu Zhenyun's eyes lit up.
The dancing memories overlap perfectly with the characters in front of you, re-establishing a solid and vivid impression without any defects.
It's like... I am still the original Xu Zhenyun.
What comes into view is a face with oval seeds and a small cherry mouth; the outline of the facial features is extremely three-dimensional, the skin is delicate, and the eyebrows are like two crescent moons.
Especially the fine eyebrows at the tips of the eyebrows, which are extremely thin, soft and fluffy, adding a youthful and cute flavor.
Facing Xu Zhenyun's blazing gaze, Ran Chuchu did not shy away, but responded enthusiastically and even winked playfully!
"So bold and open?"
"I thought she was so embarrassed; is she still the Ran Chuchu in my memory?"
Xu Zhenyun was stunned.
Thinking of the next procedures to be performed, Xu Zhenyun took out a silver metal ball the size of a fist from his sleeve.
With a slight pinch of the thumb, the silver ball tore open like a glutinous rice ball, revealing a goose egg-sized pearl inside. It was bright yellow and almost green in color, and refracted against the blue light in the room, making it dazzling.
Xu Zhenyun smiled softly and said: "This is prepared for you, Chu Chu, see if you like it?"
Because he was completely integrated with the original protagonist's soul, Xu Zhenyun naturally entered the role without any strangeness or barriers.
The custom in this world is to exchange gifts after sending them to the bridal chamber.
The gift prepared by the Xu family for Xu Zhenyun was personally selected by Xu Zhenyun's sister Xu Qingshuang - a lime jade bead produced in the "Iran" in the Babu City Pass, with a market price of one hundred and eighty taels of silver.
Ran Chuchu nodded vigorously, and then said in confusion: "Dad forged an iron rod for you, but he couldn't bring it today for some reason."
Xu Zhenyun smiled and said: "I have this, the quality is good, Chu Chu can rest assured."
Ran Chuchu suddenly covered her mouth and chuckled, winking: "I hate it, people say it's serious!"
"ah?"
Xu Zhenyun was down for two seconds before he could react.
Although in the social environment of his previous life, even if he was a clean and innocent young man, he had the ability to "understand" some jokes instantly, so Xu Zhenyun was naturally not exempt from the idiom; but on this wedding night, which was very ceremonial, he really didn't think much about it.
As an eighth-level taijutsu practitioner, there are naturally no shortage of weapons and sticks prepared in the backyard of your home, and they are also of high quality.
Although there is indeed ambiguity, your reaction is too smooth, right?
Ran Chuchu said softly: "What dad specially made for you is a two-foot-long black gold iron rod one and a half inches thick, made using the traditional 'Hundred Refining Method'."
"I originally wanted to give Brother Zhenyun a surprise on my wedding day. But I didn't expect that the quality of the iron rod was too high, and it was a hot mess when it came out of the furnace. It was delayed for a few days. Nowadays, the 'cold melting method' is popular, even if it is as traditional as my father's
Blacksmiths, their experience in performing fire forging methods is no longer what it used to be."
"Dad said he will deliver it himself in three to five days."
"Are you okay, Brother Zhenyun?"
Ran Chuchu suddenly spoke coquettishly, pushed Xu Zhenyun's left arm, and twisted her waist at the same time, which was very seductive!
"Okay, okay..."
When he heard the words "Brother Zhenyun", Xu Zhenyun lost consciousness and frowned slightly; but he still agreed casually and his expression quickly returned to normal.
Ran Chuchu's every move in front of him is a bit abnormal?
You won’t encounter some unfortunate events that can only be encountered in dramas just after traveling through time, right? This is not the earth, but a world where immortal power exists...
Impossible, absolutely impossible...
Now is not the "Blood Moon", this kind of thing cannot be such a coincidence, it just happened to find me...
After being lost in thought for a while, Xu Zhenyun raised his head, looked directly into Ran Chuchu's big bright eyes, and said with a gentle smile: "Actually, I really like the cold coiled dragon stick that my father-in-law forged for me the year before last. You saw it when I was walking around a year ago.
What I have demonstrated is very handy... It turns out that there is no need to spend money today; just buy a piece of jewelry for fun and that's it."
Ran Chuchu smiled and said: "Look at what you said. Otherwise, how can we show the sincerity of the Ran family?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Ran Chuchu suddenly came closer and exhaled like blue, almost touching his ears and temples.
Xu Zhenyun's pupils suddenly shrank, a flush of blood surged up on his face, and his heart beat violently for a few times before returning to normal.
It looked like he couldn't control himself because of Ran Chuchu's approach.
Xu Zhenyun lowered his head and thought for a while, then said: "I have always known your thoughts, Chu Chu. By the way, has your father-in-law's old problem of back injury gotten better?"
Ran Chuchu chuckled and said: "It's much better...Brother Zhenyun, you don't have to worry about your father-in-law for a while. What time is it now to talk about this? Don't you hear——"
"A moment of spring night is worth a thousand pieces of gold. You must know how to do it."
Xu Zhenyun pushed his left arm without any trace, leaned back slightly, and said with a calm smile: "Don't be anxious, Chu Chu... On the wedding night, a glass of wine and a pot of tea; sitting together all night talking about life..."
"This is more poetic and will be more unforgettable when I recall it in the future. Don't you think so?"
Ran Chuchu was stunned for a moment, then quickly pinched the corner of her clothes and said resentfully: "Sitting next to each other all night? I'm afraid it's a bit boring."
Xu Zhenyun said very seriously: "Then it's not a bad idea to do other elegant things."
"For example... how about playing the pipa to add to the fun? At last year's Mid-Autumn Festival party, you sang "Autumn Moon over the Flat Lake", which has a lasting aftertaste that I will never forget."
Ran Chuchu smiled and said: "If you like, I will play the piano for you every day after marriage... But there is no Pipa in the wedding room today."
Ran Chuchu, who pouted slightly, looked very aggrieved.
A hint of a faint smile appeared at the corner of Xu Zhenyun's lips, and he whispered: "If you don't have a pipa, you can just change to another instrument. The sound of the flute echoes, and you can play it all night long until dawn. It is also an elegant and wonderful thing."
Ran Chuchu's eyes suddenly brightened, with a look like "You finally showed your fox tail", she covered her mouth and giggled: "I hate it... I'm afraid my brother won't last until dawn."
After these two sentences, the atmosphere seemed to suddenly heat up.
Ran Chuchu's face was rosy, and she sat down on the bed, looking like she was waiting for her.
Xu Zhenyun seemed to be impatient and turned over directly into bed without taking off his boots.
Facing each other on the couch, they leaned over and fell down.
At this moment, Ran Chuchu smiled strangely; Qianqian's hand suddenly rose three feet, and fine white hair appeared in an instant, reaching towards Xu Zhenyun's throat!
But Xu Zhenyun seemed to have expected it. His waist and horse became one with each other, and he turned around and bowed, avoiding the sharp grasp.
