Three months passed without knowing it in Qingfu Village, and Afu also gradually developed love under Shen Changshan's true heart.
It is the height of summer, today is Afu's big wedding day, and everyone in the neighboring villages also came to attend the wedding ceremony. This time the wedding was very large.
The mother-in-law is the village head of Qingfu Village. She has a certain prestige and power in the world. The marriage ceremony has been arranged for ten days. Shen Changshan does not rest for a day, and is busy every day. Afu wants to help, but he insists He refused, saying that he could not let his wife do these rough jobs.
The mother-in-law looked at Shen Changshan's eyes softer and softer, and she knew that she did not misunderstand the person.
The wedding ceremony in southern Xinjiang was held at night. In the daytime, the villagers went and picked a blooming hibiscus flower by themselves and placed it outside Afu’s house. However, at noon, the hibiscus flower had already surrounded the whole house. It's so white.
Standing outside the house, Shen Changshan looked at the whole circle of hibiscus, and couldn't help being stunned. These flowers were so beautiful, just like the sharp-hearted woman in the house.
Shen Changshan opened the door with a smile on his face, and the scent of flowers came oncoming, it was the smell of roses.
The whole house is arranged in a beaming manner. A mahogany table is erected around the house, supported by only three slender small columns. On the petal-shaped small table is a sapphire vase with a few diagonally inserted inside. The roses are delicate and fragrant.
At this moment, Afu was holding the scissors and standing in front of the window, carefully pinching the thorny rose with his left hand, Shen Changshan quietly walked forward, and when he was very close, he slowly opened his mouth, taking advantage of the warm breath. When Afu was unprepared, she sprinkled it on her back, with infinite tenderness, "I never knew that you actually know how to make flowers."
Afu shrank her head slightly, perhaps a little itchy, she giggled and laughed, "What do you know, you are a fool."
Shen Changshan came up to look at her with depression, "I'm not staying at all, so how can I say that my future husband?"
Afu raised her eyebrows, her eyes were full of smiles, "I didn't like you originally, but your harassing skills are really good, alas, you say, why do I think you have such a lack of skill and physique? Where's your man?"
Shen Changshan laughed disapprovingly: "Because my heart for you is more true than those men."
Afu lightly smiled and cut the dead leaves of the rose with scissors, before inserting it into the bottle. Shen Changshan couldn't help being curious and asked, "Why don't you cut off the thorns? It's not good to pierce people."
Afu did not speak. After planting the roses one by one, she sprinkled some water on it, and said: "I don't think so. The most beautiful place of this rose in my opinion is this thorn. The more beautiful things are, the more capable they are to protect themselves. This kind of character is what I like."
Shen Changshan thought it right. He was used to seeing the rose with thorns before, but he ignored its own demeanor.
The happy days always go by very quickly. In the blink of an eye, it is night. According to the customs of southern Xinjiang, the bridegroom and the bridegroom must hug the bride from the house to the wedding ceremony venue.
If this is of course nothing for men with strong personalities, it would be a problem for Shen Changshan's slightly weak body.
For this moment to come, he has quietly exercised for more than a month, and he is finally a little stronger than when he first arrived in southern Xinjiang.
Led by a few petite and lovely children, he walked a long way before reaching the outside of Afu's house. At this time, the door of the house was wide open and people were all around.
Compared with Hecheng’s wedding gown, Shen Changshan prefers the service in southern Xinjiang because of the blindly red color. His mother-in-law personally supervises the embroidered dress made by her mother-in-law. This is a black base material, in southern Xinjiang. , Black is the most auspicious color.
The clothes were covered with shiny silver pieces, which were totem-like silver pieces, stitched stitch by stitch by the delicate hands of the embroiderer. At this time, the clothes were very dazzling in the sun.
Ah Fu was standing in the middle of the house at this time, and the wedding dress she was wearing was the same style as Shen Changshan's. Such colors and patterns lined her body, which was particularly delicate and moving.
That long black hair has also been pulled up high, this custom is the same as Hecheng, married women can no longer hang their hair.
"Changshan, you are so lucky!"
"How many people want to marry this girl Afu but can't."
"Tsk tusk, it's really beautiful, if I go to pursue Afu earlier, it will not be your turn!"
"Haha, I can't help myself."
"Changshan! Go and hug the bride!"
In the laughter of everyone, Shen Changshan calmly walked towards Afu, taking every step of the way very solidly. The mother-in-law stood beside Afu, dressed very grandly.
When Shen Changshan walked in front of the two of them, the mother-in-law sighed a long, faint tears flashed in those eyes full of the traces of years, she held Afu's hand, and the string of small bells "jingling" Rattle.
But that voice was full of melancholy, and the mother-in-law opened her lips slightly, "I don’t know if it’s right to marry Afu to you, but I hope that every day you will be with Afu will be Love her and protect her like today."
Shen Changshan knelt on the ground on one knee, looked up at the two of them, his voice filled with excitement and sincerity, "I will live up to my expectations!"
Afu personally helped Shen Changshan up, and his mother-in-law put Afu's hand in his hands. He held Afu up and stood steady, and the crowd gave out warm applause when he was neutral.
A faint blush on Afu's face floated, and the few delicate roses on the bun were like blood, but at this moment they looked bright and moving.
Afu's body is very light, but wearing this wedding gown embroidered with silver flakes, she feels a little sinking. Shen Changshan exhausted all his strength and carried her to the venue, and everyone accompanied the two of them.
When Afu was put down, Shen Changshan was already sweating profusely, his arms were sore and weak, and Afu, who looked like this, laughed repeatedly.
At night, the sky is full of stars, and the two of them made their vows against the starry sky, sincere and sincere, with such tenderness, it seems that everyone can see the happiness of the two in the future.
Time has passed, one year after marriage.
The early autumn was cool, and the servants of Shen's house finally found Shen Changshan, who was already a husband in Qingfu Village. It was the butler Liu He, who led the brigade and blocked the entrance of Qingfu Village.
Headed by the wife, Fan Qing, who had just married and abandoned the door that day.
"Changshan, many people came from the village, saying they came to you." Zifu stroked the slightly raised belly and walked into the house. At this time, Afu was four months pregnant. Shen Changshan loved her every day, and refused to let her do any rough work, all by himself.
Shen Changshan is now using a knife to carve the toy of the future child, the wooden tiger.
His technique is becoming more and more adept. This is something that every man in southern Xinjiang who is about to become a father must do. He sculpted small sculptures of 18 animals with his own hands. When the child is born, the wizards in the village will pray for blessings. In order to bless the young children to grow up safely and without disasters.
Three small animals have been carved on the side of the table at this time, and this wooden tiger is the fourth one.
Seeing Afu coming in, he quickly put down the work in his hands, got up to support her, and said softly: "How many times have I said that if you have a body, don't move more. What can you do if you hurt your child?"
Afu looked at him startled, and immediately laughed, stretched out his hand to hit him on the shoulder, "How can it be so exaggerated, the child is still young, if I stay in the house all day long, I will leave you alone. Come to serve me, but it’s not going to be moldy."
Shen Changshan didn't care about the many, so he helped Afu to sit down, and then asked: "You just said someone came to me?"
Afu nodded, pointed her finger in the direction of the village entrance, "Well, these are people who have finally dressed up, riding horses and saying that they want to see you."
Shen Changshan furrowed his brows deeply, and he had a bad premonition in his heart. He wondered if he would be from the Shen Mansion, but I had already asked Liu He to take care of the house at the time, so there was no reason to come and look for me again.
But now the more I think about it, the more wrong he is, and he tells Afu, "You stay here, I'll go out and have a look."
Afu took the little tiger and played with it carefully, waved to Shen Changshan and said, "Go."
When Shen Changshan arrived, many people had gathered at the entrance of the village. He stepped forward and asked, "What's going on?"
A village name pointed to a group of people outside the entrance of the village and said: "There is really no reason, when did you know such a person in Changshan! It is blocked at the entrance of the village and people can't get out!"
Shen Changshan contemplated and said: "Everyone, don't worry, let me take a look first!"
When he got closer, Liu He recognized Shen Changshan at a glance. He immediately turned over and got off the horse, and ran up anxiously. When Shen Changshan saw him, he immediately greeted him with a smile, "Who am I?" , I thought it was someone who came to trouble the village."
Liu He looked at Shen Changshan's expression momentarily stagnant, "Master, why are you, how did you become like this?"
Shen Changshan raised his eyebrows in confusion, and then lowered his head to glance at his clothes. At this time, he looked like a man from southern Xinjiang, and Liu He was not surprised.
"Hey, it's nothing, by the way, why did you come here so far!" Shen Changshan raised his voice slightly, Liu He was anxious, he stamped his foot and said: "Oh, my lord! We've found you all. It’s half of southern Xinjiang, but I found it. At that time, you only said you came to visit southern Xinjiang. The people in Shen Mansion only thought that you were going to play, and you thought that you could come back for a few months at most, but This blink of an eye is almost a year and a half!"
Shen Changshan tilted his head slightly, as if thinking about something.
Liu He continued: "We all thought you had an accident. We have always heard that the terrain of southern Xinjiang is steep and the people's hearts are vicious...'
Before he finished speaking, Shen Changshan interrupted him, "The rumors are gone, don't you think I stayed well in Southern Xinjiang?" RS
