Chapter 175 Wedding Night (End of Text)
Du Heng caught the panic in Su Ying's eyes as she raised them, and it was as if he was back in the library, like a lost deer in the green grass. He was so happy that he couldn't help but reach out and hold her in his arms.
Fortunately, he restrained himself. The ceremony hadn't even ended yet, so how could he lose his composure?
He took her hand and helped her stand up. Perhaps because she had been sitting for too long, Su Ying's legs softened.
"careful."
He blurted out, watching Ying'er fall into his arms. To protect her, his other hand naturally went to her waist. For a moment, the soft fragrance filled his arms, and his heart was filled with excitement.
The sound of thumping heartbeats reached his ears, and he could no longer tell whether it was his own or Ying'er's.
"Ying'er, do you know the story behind this wedding wine?"
He still suppressed the throbbing in his heart and brought her to the place where the wedding wine and two gourd ladles with red strings tied at the ends were placed.
There were two dragon and phoenix candles burning in the room. Under the candlelight, Su Ying's cheeks were even redder.
Last night, her aunt and grandmother combed her hair and told her what to do on her wedding night.
She nodded, looking at the calabash ladle beside the wine, split in two and connected at the end, and said, "The wine is bitter, and the couple drinks it separately, which means they will share the joys and sorrows in the future and support each other."
Du Heng felt that Ying'er's words were like the voice of heaven, and they were very intoxicating. He poured the wine slowly, carefully picked up the gourd petals, and handed one to Su Ying.
After drinking the wedding wine, the two officially became husband and wife.
Du Heng had personally decorated the bridal chamber, and there was nothing he didn't know. He then took Su Ying to the window-side desk. Before the wedding, he had ordered Chun Nuan to prepare all the four treasures of the study, even choosing red paper.
He asked Ying'er to sit down, and he stood behind her. His right hand held hers, and the couple dripped water and ground the ink together. Then they chose a Huzhou-made sheep's hair brush and added ink to the inscription.
He took her and wrote: "Holding your hand, growing old with you."
After writing the eight characters, he released his hand. Unexpectedly, Su Ying stood up, and this time, she asked him to sit down and placed the pen in his palm.
Du Heng didn't understand why, but he followed her instructions. Su Ying moved behind him, one hand on his shoulder, leaning against his back, and the other hand covering his hand, just as he had done before. However, her palm was too small to completely cover it.
Du Heng looked at her small palm, smiled gently, and let her lead him to write another sentence: "We share the same heart and mind, and we are in the same boat together."
After reading the response Ying'er wrote for him, his heart melted instantly, turning into a warm current that spread throughout his body.
The journey to Yunzhou was filled with hidden dangers and obstacles. She was telling him that from now on, they would be husband and wife, supporting each other and never leaving each other.
......
The wedding curtains fell lightly, revealing a pair of figures. Apart from the occasional chirping of the dragon and phoenix candles, the only sounds were the newlyweds whispering softly and rubbing their ears together.
Under the satin quilt with mandarin ducks playing in the water, the two people's skin was touching, as if they were in a fairyland.
As the two entered the water together, they heard the sound of heavy, rapid breathing, followed by two rare pink snakes entwining and chasing each other in the water. The tighter the snakes entangled, the more intense the aura became, causing their hearts to surge and their emotions to surge.
…
This illusion was like a test for him and his wife. When they both found their respective points of compatibility, the illusion disappeared, leaving only the two of them, you in me and me in you.
What a beautiful picture of a fairy couple traveling on earth!
