Chapter 82 The Fourth Day of Winter
The third day finally arrived.
Meng Yi was unusually excited and anxious, and woke up at dawn.
Seeing how energetic he was, Lin Qian decided not to sleep anymore. She got up to tie Meng Yi's hair and shave him, and then helped him put on his wedding clothes.
The wedding dress should have fit well before, but now it is a little too big and looks empty on Meng Yi.
Lin Qian looked at it and her nose felt sore.
After changing into wedding clothes, Meng Yi drank a large bowl of shredded chicken porridge, then left the space and waited for Ye Zelan in the wooden house.
The two didn't have to wait long before Ye Zelan and Ge Yuanqing appeared in front of the wooden house.
When Ye Zelan arrived and saw Meng Yi in a bright red wedding dress, her eyes reddened and she said, "I knew my craftsmanship must be good. Look, you look so good in it."
Meng Yi hummed and looked at Ye Zelan with a smile.
Ge Yuanqing also laughed and praised Meng Yi for being particularly energetic today. After that, Ge Yuanqing pulled Meng Yi out and gave the wooden house to Ye Zelan to change into her wedding dress.
Lin Qian followed him in.
"Master's wife, this is what Master asked me to give you." After helping Ye Zelan change into her wedding dress, Lin Qian handed the gold hairpin to Ye Zelan.
The gold hairpin was not very finely made, it was a bit rough, and the pattern was also a very ordinary auspicious cloud style.
Ye Zelan took the hairpin, rubbed it in her hand for a few times, then smiled. She said, "When I was a child, I said that if he married me, he would have to make me a hairpin himself. It was just a casual remark at the time, but I didn't expect that he would remember it all the time."
Lin Qian looked at the golden hairpin and said, "Master treasures this hairpin very much. He carries it with him wherever he goes. It is very precious."
Ye Zelan hummed, touched the gold hairpin twice, and then put it on her head. She looked around and asked Lin Qian, "Does it look good?"
"It's beautiful, and it suits you very well, Master's wife."
"I think so too." Ye Zelan looked at himself in the bronze mirror and said with a smile.
Afterwards, Ye Zelan put two or three red silk flowers in her hair and wore only the gold hairpin made by Meng Yi. After helping Ye Zelan put on the red veil, Lin Qian supported her and walked out.
Outside, the big red dragon and phoenix wedding candles on the table had been lit, and Meng Yi and Ge Yuanqing were standing there.
Lin Qian led Ye Zelan to stand beside Meng Yi, then handed Qianhong to Meng Yi, who took it and held it.
A piece of red silk was held by Meng Yi on one side and Ye Zelan on the other.
"Bow to Heaven and Earth!"
"Bow to your parents twice!"
"Husband and wife bow to each other!"
"The ceremony is over!"
With Ge Yuanqing's singing and cheering, the wedding that was delayed for thirty years was finally made up on this day.
At noon, after the four of them had lunch together, Ge Yuanqing said goodbye, and Lin Qian also went to stroll in the mountains, leaving the space for the newlyweds.
"Meng Yi, I'm very happy. What I've been fantasizing about for most of my life has finally come true." Ye Zelan looked at Meng Yi and said seriously.
Meng Yi held Ye Zelan's hand and said, "This is what I have always wanted. Zelan, you are finally my wife."
Both of them were very happy, but then a slight bitterness emerged in their hearts. Although they were married, they could not stay with each other for long.
Ye Zelan hugged Meng Yi and said, "I don't ask for anything else, just accompany me to see the red plum blossoms again."
That was what the two of them planted together when they were children. They had made one promise after another here.
Meng Yi nodded with tears in his eyes, touched Ye Zelan's hair, and said, "Okay."
Since he had promised Ye Zelan, Meng Yi wanted to hold on for a few more months. He took the medicine that kept him alive again and took it on time every day. In addition, the hot springs and cold springs made him feel safe.
However, around the Mid-Autumn Festival, Meng Yi's condition worsened and he almost died. Lin Qian used thousand-year-old ginseng and thousand-year-old snow lotus to bring him back.
Since then, Ye Zelan has gone up the mountain more frequently. After all, she is the head of the family and it is impossible for her to stay in the mountain all the time.
In this way, three months passed and winter finally came.
As the cold wind blew, the plum blossoms around the cabin began to bud and begin to bloom. Even though they had not yet reached full bloom, the whole view was a sea of red.
On the fourth day of the winter month, which is the fourth day of the eleventh month, Meng Yi was particularly energetic. After getting up, he didn't even ask for help and walked around twice. Seeing him like this, Lin Qian felt sad and bitter.
A last glimmer of hope.
At this time, the plum blossoms are in full bloom. From a distance, they look like burning flames.
As if they had telepathy, Ye Zelan and Ge Yuanqing both came today.
Seeing that Meng Yi was in high spirits today, the two did not say much, but just chatted with Meng Yi as usual.
The four people huddled in a wooden house with a stove burning in the room and a pot of wine warming on the stove. They opened the window and looked at the large field of red plum blossoms outside.
"It's really beautiful, just as beautiful as what we saw back then." Meng Yi said with a smile, and then looked at Ye Zelan and Ge Yuanqing.
The two nodded, but Ge Yuanqing added, "Huh, I get angry just talking about this. That year, you said you'd bring me along, but you two snuck away without me."
Ye Zelan rolled her eyes and said, "I told you you're stupid, but you still don't admit it? Meng Yi and I are here to talk about love, so what's the point of bringing you along?"
"Heh! When you two were not together, you said that the three of us were best friends and would go everywhere together. What happened? You two just came along and left me behind." Ge Yuanqing looked unconvinced.
Meng Yi listened to the two people talking about the past with a smile, and watched them quarreling without saying anything to stop them.
Lin Qian sat at Meng Yi's feet, listening to the three of them chatting.
The three of them chattered incessantly until it was afternoon. Who knew that snow would suddenly begin to fall from the sky.
The snow was falling quite heavily, and soon it covered the entire mountain.
For a moment, the four of them fell silent, looking at the snow scene outside.
After a long while, Meng Yi raised his hand to Ye Zelan and said, "Don't you want to see the plum blossoms? Let's go, the two of us. Don't take them with you."
Ye Zelan smiled and put her hand on it. Hand in hand, the two of them walked out of the cabin, got wet in the snow, and walked into the depths of Merlin.
Lin Qian and Ge Yuanqing did not follow, but just sat under the eaves, watching the two people's looming figures.
Lin Qian's eyes suddenly became blurred and tears fell down. Ge Yuanqing was not much better than her, but neither of them said a word.
I don’t know how long it took, but suddenly Ye Zelan’s crying voice was heard from the depths of the plum forest. Lin Qian’s hands trembled, and she stood up with Ge Yuanqing and rushed into the plum forest.
Deep in the plum forest, Ye Zelan hugged Meng Yi and cried out loudly. In contrast, Meng Yi had a smile on his face and looked peaceful.
"Meng Yi!"
Heavy snow fell on the two people's heads, dyeing their hair white.
If they could get wet in the snow together one day, they would grow old together. In the end, Meng Yi could only give Ye Zelan such hope.
In the distance, Lin Qian knelt down, kowtowed three times to Meng Yi, and sent her master away.
