On the other side, Haoyue Kingdom
Song Lin's courtyard was decorated with lights and filled with friends who came to congratulate him.
Today is the day that Song Lin and Shen Xu are getting married. Although there is no matchmaking, Song Lin still set up a few tables for a banquet and invited some relatives and friends to have a great time.
The constables in the yamen, the neighbors, the owners of the bookstalls, and even the county magistrate came to congratulate him.
Chen Xu wore the wedding dress Song Lin bought for her. Although there was no grand ceremony and no loud drums and gongs, the government still got Song Lin a tall horse. They carried Chen Xu from the wooden gate in the backyard, around the town, and finally brought her in through the main gate in a grand manner.
The two of them walked over the fire basin together and worshiped in the hall. The county magistrate personally read the marriage vows to them and wished them a long and happy marriage.
"Everyone, I'm delighted to be invited to officiate the wedding of the Song couple. As the governor of Langya County, I'm delighted to see the people of this county settle down, start families, and have children. Constable Song Lin is twenty-three years old this year and has always been a very brave and upright constable in this county."
"Not long ago, the couple worked together to capture the remaining bandits in Xiangya Mountain, contributing to the stability of our Langya County. With their zeal and determination, they captured the bandits and worked together to protect their homeland. What a wonderful young man, what a wonderful couple! I hope the Song couple will continue to be loyal, brave, and upright, maintain harmony in their family, punish evildoers, and serve their country."
"Thank you, sir." Song Lin held Shen Xu's hand tightly and thanked the county magistrate for his encouragement.
Then they were sent to the bridal chamber and the guests were entertained. Everyone gathered in the courtyard and had a great time.
Captain Song drank a lot of wine with a smile on his face, and talked about some things in his youth. He said that he had followed his father and sister to the battlefield to kill the enemy. At that time, he was also a young man with fine clothes and a fierce horse, lying drunk on the battlefield, spurring his horse and waving the whip...
Later, his family fell into poverty, so he fled to Qingxi Town with Song Lin. Unexpectedly, more than 20 years later, A Lin was about to get married and have children.
As he was talking, the grown man suddenly fell over the table and started crying. The constables and fellow villagers who were sitting at the same table tried to persuade him that it was time for him to enjoy his life. By then, his nephews and nieces would be filial to him and would not forget him when they got married.
The villagers also said that Song Lin and Shen Xu were destined to meet each other, and that they could not escape each other since their fate had come. As they talked, they talked about Yan'er's family.
After the arrest of all the bandits on Ivory Mountain that day, Yan'er also went insane. Although she had lured Shen Xu into the courtyard, she was actually coerced by the bandits. The county magistrate, considering that she was a victim and mentally ill, ordered her family to move out of Langya County without any other punishment.
The county magistrate said that his family had the skill to make tofu, so even if they went to other villages or towns, they would not starve to death.
Everyone discussed it for a while, but no one said much on Song Lin's wedding day.
Everyone had a lively time in the bridal chamber and held a wedding ceremony.
Song Lin returned to the room and solemnly lifted the red veil. The bride was as beautiful as a picture under the wedding candles, and the red makeup made her pretty face even more charming and attractive.
They drank the wedding wine, undressed and lay down on the bed filled with peanuts and dates.
Shen Xu lay on his side to look at Song Lin's handsome profile, "Captain Song... Husband, can you sleep?"
"What's wrong, Xiuxiu?" Song Lin turned to look at her face.
"Sleeping like this is uncomfortable. Do we really have to sleep among these beans?" Shen Xu reached out and touched them, frowning slightly. He whispered, "I think I just crushed an egg."
"I don't know either. We can't sleep on the floor on our wedding night." Song Lin also felt uncomfortable. The bed was covered with dates and laurel nuts, which was not convenient for having a baby soon.
"This is too painful." Shen Xu struggled to turn over and faced Song Lin face to face.
"Sleep on the quilt." Song Lin sat up, put the quilt under her body, folded the half that covered him over her, and let Shen Xu lie in the middle of the quilt.
"Hmm." Shen Xu lay on the quilt. Although it was not as uncomfortable as before, if he moved a little, he could hear the sound of peanuts and longans being crushed under the quilt. It was still very uncomfortable.
"Xiu Xiu." Song Lin lay on the bed, hugged her through the quilt, and said gently: "If Xiu Xiu finds her family, is there anything you want to do?"
Shen Xu was held in his arms, and her heart was suddenly filled with a sense of security. She thought for a moment and replied, "Yes, of course it's with my husband. Together we fight for justice, punish evil and promote good, travel the mountains and rivers together, wander around the thatched cottage together, well... together we farm and weave, and live a peaceful life. What about you, husband?"
Song Lin looked at the light and tenderness in her clear eyes, and the corners of his beautiful lips curled up. He held her hand tightly, interlocking his fingers, and replied: "I am your husband, of course I will hold your hand tightly."
"If you want to be a hero, I will be your thug. If you want to travel around the country, I will work hard to earn money for the journey. If you want the husband to farm and the wife to weave, forget it. I don't know how to farm."
"Haha, I can't weave either."
"But I can learn as a husband."
He thought about it carefully and said with longing, "If you want a peaceful life, then I will find a paradise, build a big house, plant flowers and fruit trees in the yard, and grow flowers and plants. In the spring, we can sit in the yard and enjoy the flowers."
"Since you like bread, let's plant a large field of wheat. In the fall, we can sit on the ridge and watch the golden waves of wheat."
Shen Xu smiled and nodded, stretched out his hand from the quilt, gently stroked his eyebrows, and said: "Okay, we also want to raise a kitten, a puppy, and have a few children, both boys and girls. I will teach them to read and write, and you teach them martial arts."
