Chapter 127
Chapter 127 Ancient Extra 1 Whose Wife?
Ah Hui was getting married, to the son of Mr. Hu in the town.
The sedan chair was a little bumpy and uncomfortable to sit in. She looked out through the gap in the lid and could see through the hazy red that the sedan chair had entered the town.
There was a colorful stage built with a simple bamboo shed on the street, and on it was a play with gongs, drums, cymbals and gongs. This was a troupe specially invited for the wedding. The common people below were crowded and crowded, all crowded to watch. This was a rare big bustle in the town.
Now the sedan chair has arrived, and everyone looks over. Someone shouts loudly, "The bride is here!" Then, all of a sudden, there are the sounds of gongs and drums, and the sounds of shengs, pipes, flutes, and firecrackers. This means they have arrived at the Hu family, and the Hu family is about to welcome the bride.
The sedan chair stopped for a while, and the sudden stop made Ah Hui feel even more uncomfortable.
The sedan chair was too bumpy, and she couldn't sit still at all. She was uncomfortable with the shaking, and now it stopped so suddenly, it was even more uncomfortable.
The bridesmaid lifted the curtain of the sedan chair, and someone helped Ah Hui get off the sedan chair. The sound of firecrackers became louder, and there were also men cheering and children clapping and cheering. There were people all around, clamoring to see the bride.
Ah Hui listened to the sound, but felt confused.
She lost all her memories and only knew that she was picked up by Grandma Sun from Shuanniu Village. Grandma Sun saved her and gave her money to find a doctor to treat her.
After drinking a few doses of medicine, she said she was cured, so she stayed at Grandma Sun's house and became the daughter of this family.
The only thing she brought with her was a piece of jade with a word "Hui" carved on it, so everyone called her Ah Hui.
Grandma Sun had a son. Originally, Grandma Sun said that she wanted Ah Hui to be her daughter-in-law, but who knew that the son of Mr. Hu in the town took a fancy to Ah Hui and was willing to give a good betrothal gift. Grandma Sun was blinded by the money and promised Ah Hui to Hu Yuanwai.
Ah Hui didn't have any idea about this marriage.
After waking up, she couldn't remember anything about the past. She was in a state of confusion, dazed, without any thoughts, no emotions, and all her emotions were very low.
Sometimes she felt that even if someone kicked her suddenly, she would still be numb and would not have any emotional fluctuations.
She always felt that her soul was floating, floating in the sky, and was outside this world.
In her scattered thoughts, she was taken to a place, surrounded by people talking, congratulating, laughing, someone half-pulling and half-dragging her, and someone shouting that the auspicious time had come to worship heaven and earth.
She stood there woodenly, completely unaware of what was happening. The bridesmaid beside her pulled her and asked her to bend down.
Maybe she was a little bit arrogant. There was a burst of laughter and everyone was talking in low voices.
After that, the man said that the ceremony was over, and she was dragged and pulled to a place.
Her head was covered with a red veil, and her mind was confused. Amid the laughter and hugs of many women, she turned a corridor and was finally sent to a room.
The door was closed, and she was pushed to sit down with soft bedding under her butt.
While she was wondering, someone took something and stuffed it into her mouth, saying, "The pomegranate bears hundreds of seeds, and the house is full of descendants."
Ah Huizi felt that the man's hands were very rough, and it was very uncomfortable to stroke her lips, and the thing that was forced into her was cold, so she subconsciously wanted to spit it out.
But the man just covered it tightly and threatened, "Don't spit it out. If you spit it out, it will be unlucky!"
Another maid's voice said, "The bride has to swallow it!"
Ah Hui sat there in a daze, chewing the pomegranate woodenly. The cold feeling spread between her teeth. She didn't like it.
This seemed to be the first time she felt offended since she could remember, and she even had a faint feeling of resistance.
This kind of emotional fluctuation was very rare for her, so when she realized her dislike, she was also slightly stunned.
Why don't you like it? Is it because of the cold taste, or because of the discomfort of being forced in?
While thinking about this, the door of the room was pushed open, and the bridesmaid and the maids all said congratulations in unison.
Seven people walked in from outside - Ah Hui discovered that she could clearly distinguish the footsteps of any one person and feel the approximate body shape of each person from the footsteps.
Six of them stopped outside the room, speaking words that seemed elegant but were actually explicit. A man walked into the new room, and it was obvious that the man was very proud of himself. After talking to everyone for a few words, he closed the door.
The man walked towards Ah Hui, and with him came a smell of alcohol.
The man should be a slightly thin figure, of medium build, without much strength, probably someone who holds a pen for a long time.
The maids came to greet him, and they all smiled and said congratulations, and said a lot of auspicious words. The man then took the scale to pick Ah Hui's red veil.
The red veil slipped off, and Ah Hui saw red everywhere, the red new house, the flickering candles burning, shining on the face of the man in front of her.
It was a face that was red from drinking, and his nose was reeking of alcohol.
He looked at Ah Hui with satisfaction: "I knew I had good taste. When I saw you for the first time, I thought you were pretty. You were really pretty, and you were completely different from the girls in the town."
Ah Hui looked at the groom silently, and felt that everything was strange.
The groom, however, looked very high-spirited: "Look, I married you as my bride, are you happy? You will enjoy happiness with me in the future."
Ah Hui began to feel confused when she heard the word "married".
Before today, she had never thought about what it meant to get married, nor what it meant to be a bride, so she had no resistance to these things
. She was like a walking corpse, letting others manipulate her.
Life or death, bitterness or sweetness, nothing could arouse her emotional response.
She felt that her soul might be missing a trick.
But now, she looked at the groom and suddenly felt that this should not be her life.
So doubts entered her mind like fate.
She finally began to think, who is she?
Where did she come from, where should she go?
Why is she here?
At this time, the groom was already grinning and said, "Ahui, come here, let's drink the wedding wine."
Ah Hui looked at the groom and finally said, "What does drinking the wedding wine mean?"
The bridesmaid next to her winked at Ah Hui when she saw this.
The nanny frowned secretly.
But the groom was not surprised. He had met Ah Hui before and knew that Ah Hui's mind was different from others.
He explained to Ah Hui, "Drinking the wedding wine means that you and I are married. From now on, you and I are connected by heart. We are husband and wife."
Ah Hui paused and asked, "What does husband and wife mean?"
The groom shook his head and said, "Husband and wife means tying the hair to become husband and wife, holding hands, and growing old together. You and I will be together for the rest of our lives."
Ah Hui heard this and felt her brain buzz.
She was a little confused. She clearly didn't know the person in front of her, so why was she with a stranger? Why was she married to a stranger?
So what happened?
She stared at the man in front of her in a daze, and shook her head gently: "I'm sorry, I don't want to be your wife, and I don't want to be with you for the rest of my life."
She stood up and said: "I'd better leave, I don't want to marry you."
The bridesmaid next to her was shocked when she saw this scene: "What's wrong? We're getting married, don't make a fuss, my dear, you must be obedient, let's drink the wedding wine quickly, this is a happy day, what unlucky words are you saying! Pah pah pah!"
As she said that, she pulled Ah Hui and asked Ah Hui to sit down.
Ah Hui was naturally unwilling, so she wanted to push the bridesmaid away.
The groom was also a little unhappy, and said with a gloomy face: "On a happy day, don't be shameless, sit down!"
When he said that, the maids and bridesmaids next to him rushed up, pulled Ah Hui, and wanted to press Ah Hui there.
Ah Hui was naturally unwilling, so she pushed the nanny with force.
Who knew that with this push, the nanny actually fell out.
Everyone was stunned and watched helplessly. Everyone saw that the nanny, who was dressed in festive silks, flew out like a sandbag, and then hit the door lintel.
With a "bang", the nanny fell to the ground.
The nanny was thrown all over the place, her face was pale, and she covered her heart with her hands.
The nanny's fat body pulled up the red curtain next to it, and the curtain pulled up the candlestick. The bridesmaids screamed and rushed to rescue her. There was a chaos in the bridal chamber.
The groom's face also changed greatly. He stared at all this in a daze, and kept saying, "Quick, quick, put out the fire!"
After a lot of hustle and bustle, the fire was finally put out, but the originally festive bridal chamber was already in a mess.
At this time, the bridesmaid supported the trembling nanny, and they all looked at Ah Hui with horror.
They didn't understand how Ah Hui could push the nanny away. How much strength did it take?
Ah Hui was actually at a loss.
She lowered her head and looked at her hands. She didn't mean to do this. She just didn't like the nanny pushing her, so she used some strength and the nanny flew away...
The groom took a deep breath and gritted his teeth and said, "Ahui, today is our wedding day. What are you doing? Are you crazy? Do you know how many people in our Hu family envy you for marrying into our family? I like you, but you are not content to be a young lady. What are you doing?"
Ah Hui She looked at the groom: "I've already told you, I don't want to spend the bridal chamber with you, and I don't want to get married with you, so stay away from me."
The groom was so angry when he heard this that the veins on his forehead were throbbing: "We're already married, and I spent a lot of money on your betrothal gift. What do you mean by this?"
He pointed outside the window. Across the courtyard was the banquet hall. They could clearly hear shouts, congratulations, and the noise from the stage.
He said with a sullen face: "Today is a happy day for our Hu family. I married you and you are already my bride. But now you say this. Are you kidding? You know how much money I spent, how many guests I invited, even the county magistrate came!"
Ah Hui looked at the groom expressionlessly: "I have lost my memory and I really don't know what happened. Or maybe I am still sick. Because I am sick, my mind is not clear and I can't make decisions for myself."
She took a step back and said: "Now I still can't remember who I am, but I feel that I shouldn't marry you, and I definitely won't... I am deeply sorry for the money you spent on marrying you. I will return the betrothal gifts and the money spent on the wedding."
The groom looked at Ah Hui with amusement: "Your grandson's family took the betrothal gifts from our family. Grandma Sun has already taken the money to marry her daughter-in-law and pay the betrothal gifts. How can they have money to give you? Besides, do you know the pomp of today's wedding? Do you know how much money was spent? Listen to the excitement outside. Can you afford it?"
Ah Hui looked at the groom with some doubts: "Don't I have money? Why don't I have money?"
Why does she think that money can be obtained with just a wave of her hand?
The groom was so angry that he said, "If you are not pretty, why would I marry you? Look at your brain, you are a fool! Why do I think you are pretty? Am I blind?"
Ah Hui suddenly remembered, "Don't I wear a piece of jade with me? The jade with the word Hui on it, that piece of jade should be very valuable, I will mortgage it to you."
As she said that, she raised her hand to touch it, but the jade was not on her body.
She remembered that when she was ignorant, the jade had been taken away by Grandma Sun.
She subconsciously felt that it must be valuable, so she said, "I will go to Grandma Sun and get my jade back, and then I can pay you back."
As she said that, she was about to push the door and walk out of the bridal chamber.
Seeing her nonchalant look, the groom was furious: "Do you think you can leave whenever you want? You have already married into our Hu family. You are a member of the Hu family in life and a ghost of the Hu family in death. Do you still want to walk out of this door?"
Ah Hui raised her eyebrows and said unhappily: "What do you say have to do with me? I have already said that I will not be your bride, let alone your husband and wife." As soon as she
said this, she had already walked out.
As soon as she went out, Mrs. Hu happened to come with a group of relatives and friends. They were also shocked to see the bride running out.
Seeing this, the groom hurriedly said: "Mom, call someone to stop her!"
A group of people came in, including the bodyguards of the Hu family.
They surrounded Ah Hui.
Ah Hui looked around, and seeing the guards staring at her with eager eyes, she felt a sense of familiarity.
When a guard rushed over to take her down, she raised her leg and kicked him directly, and the guard flew out with a cry.
Everyone's faces turned pale and they looked at her in disbelief.
At this time, the guests were also frightened, and they all ran over to join in the fun. Seeing this scene, they were also scared to death. Of course, there were also some who were excited to watch the fun and whispered to each other.
At one point, someone took a stick and swung it at Ah Hui.
Ah Hui rushed over to grab the stick, and then swept it horizontally, as if she had a thousand pounds of strength, and three or four big men were swept away, falling to pieces, but they crushed the spectators on the side, and the wailing sound was endless. People were finally scared and ran away in a hurry.
The matter got out of hand, and Mr. Hu was panicked. The county magistrate hurriedly called for people to catch her.
Ah Hui naturally ignored all this and walked forward. She was wearing a wedding dress, absolutely gorgeous and cold, and there was a bit of indifference between her clear eyebrows. For a while, no one stopped her wherever she went, and people were panicked and avoided her.
Ah Hui walked straight to the moon gate and was about to leave, but she was caught off guard and saw someone holding a few knives, weighing them as if they were about to rush over.
Ah Hui looked at the flash of the knife and frowned slightly.
She suddenly felt that everything in front of her was very familiar, so familiar that it seemed as if this scene had appeared in front of her countless times.
Something flashed through her mind for a moment, and she stopped and frowned to think carefully, but as soon as she thought about it, she felt a splitting headache.
It was as if there was a sea in her mind, and the sea water was shaking and roaring. In the huge waves, she had a splitting headache and could hardly stand steadily. She could only hold on to the moon gate.
The groom's eyes widened when he saw this scene.
Things had become so chaotic that everyone was afraid, and he was naturally afraid too, but in addition to the fear, he was still lucky.
That day, he passed by Shuanniu Village and accidentally saw the girl. He felt that the girl was standing in the morning mist, cold and beautiful, with a grace he had never seen before, so that all the women in the world lost their color!
He swore that he must marry her and make her his bride.
He thought his dream had come true, but who knew that such a huge change would happen in an instant!
The groom gritted his teeth and reached out to touch his sleeve. It was a medicine that a good friend gave him mysteriously, saying that after taking the medicine to boost his excitement, he would be as happy as a god.
He made up his mind and walked over bravely.
At this time, Ah Hui felt a splitting headache and a strong wind and huge waves in her head, and the roar made her ears ring.
A question became clearer and clearer, who is she and where does she come from?
What happened?
And at this moment, suddenly, she smelled a strange fragrance.
She frowned, turned around slowly, and saw the groom's frightened face.
She looked at him, and looked at the sachet in his hand.
The groom was also frightened when he suddenly saw Ah Hui looking at him, and stepped back subconsciously, but when he saw the confusion on Ah Hui's face, she was in a trance, as if she had lost her mind.
He suddenly became bolder and stretched out his hand to her: "Ah Hui, stop making trouble, come on, I'll take you back, we'll get married, and I'll be your husband."
Ah Hui's mind was in a mess, but she still shook her head: "I've already said, I don't want to be your bride, I don't want to marry you, I want to leave--"
But she staggered and couldn't even stand steadily.
The groom became bolder and held Ah Hui tightly: "Ah Hui, I'll help you back to your room, I'll help you back to your room."
Everyone present naturally felt weird watching this scene, and they didn't know what to say for a moment, and they could only look at each other. Mrs. Hu saw this and said quickly: "Quick, quick, tie her up."
She was afraid that her son would be wronged, so she thought that she should tie up the trouble-making bride.
Ah Hui frowned more and more as she listened.
Although she had no strength left and her mind was confused, she knew that this was wrong. Of course, she didn't want to spend the wedding night with this man. She didn't know this man at all. But
the groom couldn't bear it anymore. He quickly asked the nanny next to him to help him hold Ah Hui and hurried back to the wedding room.
Mr. Hu had no choice but to greet the frightened guests and try to calm down the chaos.
But at this moment, a voice suddenly sounded: "Stop it."
The voice was cold and heavy, which made people's hearts suddenly stop and fear suddenly appeared in their backs.
Everyone looked over and saw a group of people suddenly rushing in from the Moon Gate. They were holding torches and swords and stepped into the inner courtyard in unison.
Everyone was shocked. Looking at the clothes and swords, they were obviously the royal guards.
But how could the royal guards appear here?
The groom's family was even more surprised, their eyes widened, and they were completely at a loss.
So everyone watched with eyes wide open, watching the officers and soldiers rush into the inner courtyard, and then quickly split into two lines.
Everyone held their breath, and no one dared to speak.
Then, at the end of the corridor guarded by two lines of officers and soldiers, there seemed to be footsteps, and then everyone saw a trace of robe corners appearing behind the moon gate, and then a man in a purple brocade robe walked out.
He was tall and slender, and his appearance was dignified. As he walked slowly, the bottom of his purple robe was swaying like water waves.
He walked calmly, but there was an indestructible majesty around him, and oppression filled this small inner courtyard.
In front of such a person, everyone felt insignificant, as if they were just the dirt under his feet.
Everyone lowered their heads unconsciously, and no one dared to look up at this man.
The man in purple robe walked straight to Ah Hui.
The moonlight was cold, and the dancing torches shone on Ah Hui, making the red wedding dress absolutely gorgeous and moving. In this dark night, there was a different kind of beauty.
The man in purple robe looked at Ah Hui like this, and after a while, he met Ah Hui's confused eyes.
He looked at her and whispered, "Hui Hui, do you still remember me?"
When Ah Hui heard the two words "Hui Hui", she knew that this must be her name, her original name.
She raised her eyelashes and looked at him: "Who are you?"
Her voice was indifferent, without any emotional fluctuations.
The purple-robed man's eyes showed a strange pity, and he said: "Huihui, I am your husband, you are my wife, have you... forgotten?"
Husband? Wife?
The people around were shocked when they heard this. You know, this girl is the bride today. It is rare for a bride to make trouble. And suddenly a husband appeared?
And such a husband who is obviously not to be messed with!
The Hu family was naturally suspicious. He knew at a glance that this kind of person was definitely not someone they could mess with.
Only the groom was unwilling to give in. He held Ah Hui's arm and said to the purple-robed man with courage: "You, who are you? You are talking nonsense. Ah Hui is going to marry me today. We have already been married! We are going to have our wedding night soon!"
However, the purple-robed man did not even look at him, as if he did not exist at all.
The purple-robed man still looked down at Ah Hui: "Hui Hui, because of the war, I was unable to protect you and we were separated. Since then, I have been looking for you. I have been looking for you for a long time, and now I finally found you."
He stretched out his hand and tried to hold Ah Hui's hand: "Hui Hui, can I take you home?"
The groom was anxious: "Why do you say Ah Hui is your wife? What evidence do you have?"
However, as soon as he finished speaking, he saw a flash of white light in front of his eyes, and then he felt a chill on his neck.
When he looked closely, he saw a sturdy guard holding a big knife on his neck.
The two rows of soldiers had already raised their knives.
Mr. Hu looked at the big knife on his son's neck and his legs went weak. Mrs. Hu was even more panicked.
The groom was sweating profusely on his back. He stared at the knife and said with trembling lips: "Robbery, robbery..."
He wanted to say that you are a robber, you robbed the woman, but he couldn't say a complete sentence.
The bright torches were dancing, and the firelight reflected the cold long knife. The meaning of it made everyone present shudder.
People were scared and trembling with fear. Everyone wished to disappear completely and wished they had never participated in this wedding.
But no one dared to move. Everyone held their breath and stared at the scene without blinking.
In this eerie silence, Ah Hui looked at the man in front of her silently.
She didn't remember knowing this man, but she felt vaguely familiar.
This should be someone she had known before.
At least compared to those maids and the groom, he was somewhat familiar.
At this time, the man looked at her with a mellow and gentle voice: "Hui Hui, shall we go?"
Ah Hui finally nodded.
She could feel that when she nodded, the man seemed to be slightly relieved.
He reached out and supported her.
But Ah Hui had no strength in her body. She found that she didn't even have the strength to move her legs.
The man felt it, and a cold light flashed in his eyes, but the movements of his hands became more gentle.
He held her up by the waist, then raised his hands.
Everyone saw that the peacock cloak with pearls and colorful embroidery was lifted up, and the pattern woven with peacock feathers on the cloak emitted colorful light under the moonlight.
When they looked again, the man had covered Ah Hui with the cloak, and everyone could only vaguely see the red corners of the clothes.
The man held Ah Hui and walked out without even looking at the people around him.
As they left, the guards beside them slowly joined together like flowing water, and followed behind them, forming a copper wall and iron wall with torches and long swords.
The sound of neat and coordinated footsteps rang out, and these people finally left.
The scene was in a mess. The groom stared at it in a daze, moving his lips and muttering, "My, my bride..."
General Ye is still stupid now, but it doesn't matter, she will wake up!
