Soon, ten days had passed. Having recovered from the wounds, Guoguo’s began to do heavy work. Muya just needed to do some housework like cooking and washing clothes. If Guoguo didn’t know how to do it, he would ask Muya to teach him.
The two of them had already lived a life that seemed like they had been together for a long time, even they hadn’t got married. Laughing and talking on a daily basis, they felt life passed very quickly.
According the rules of the Shanwai Family, marriage was a big deal and all the people of the family would come to the wedding. The two people who would get married didn’t have to worry about anything, everything had been arranged by the elders of the family, especially for Muya, who had lost his father when he was a child.
Not only the patriarch doted on Muya, the elders in the family also liked him very much. So their wedding must be very grand.
While everyone was busy, Muya, as well as Guoguo, walked, rode horses and pastured cattles, which made them busy all day long. Their purpose was obvious, just to divert their attention, because the two people who were going to marry were very nervous.
Holding the horse, Muya asked Guoguo as they were walking, ” When other people got married, they were very happy. But why am I so nervous now?”
Guoguo smiled, shaking his head, and replied, “I’m not sure about this either, but I’m also a little nervous just like you. You know that I wasn’t so nervous when facing more than 100 barbarians who wanted my life.”
Muya rolled her eyes and said, “You mean I’m even scarier than a hundred barbarians?”
Looking at him, Guoguo asked in confusion,”Why will you think so?”
“You said it yourself. You’re even more nervous than facing more than 100 barbarians. Am I really that scary?”
Guoguo leaned closer to him and said, “Of course not. They are two different feelings. When facing the Barbarian, I was afraid, not nervous, because they will hurt me, but you won’t. As for being nervous now, I’m just the same as you. We’ve never been married and don’t understand anything, that’s why we are nervous.”
Muya agreed with Guoguo reluctantly, and they continued to walk slowly.
It was March 18th. The night before it, Muya didn’t live in his own home and moved to the patriarch’s house. On March 18th, Guoguo would ride his horse to the patriarch’s house to pick Muya back.
The process of getting married was very complicated. Before daybreak, Guoguo was called out from bed, and he changed his clothes. He always had someone around to remind him to pay attention to something. Being confused, Guoguo did whatever others asked him to do.
As soon as it was light, he went to the patriarch’s house to pick up Muya. The tribe, which rarely had entertainment, was filled with the sound of gongs and drums, throughout the valley.
Around Muya and Guoguo, there was a person all the time, dictating what they should do and saying all kinds of good wishes. The two people who didn’t know anything just needed to do what he said.
The process of picking up Muya was very simple. The tribe did not have any special rules for marriage.
People who came to pick up the bride only need to carry a chariot around the family a few times.
Then it was the marriage ceremony. The host shouted particularly loud, and every time he shouted, there would be a clamor in the crowd. It was as if people were watching a good show.
Guoguo took Muya and they did as they were asked. By the time the ceremony was finally finished, it was late at night. After having dinner and causing a ruckus, people would all go back homes.
Although Guoguo didn’t know many people in the tribe, there were many his romantic rivals as well as Muya’s friends, so he had to drink with them. And he also had to give a toast to the elders of the family. By the time the banquet was over, he was already drunk.
He reminded himself that this group of people would cause a ruckus at night and he couldn’t fall down, so he held out until the very end.
“Shocking room!”
After a shouting by someone in the crowd , there was a roar from the crowd. People thronged Guoguo to the bridal chamber, while pushing open the door, Guoguo’s hands were trembling, maybe he was drunk or just nervous.
“Hey! Xu Mu, ask your spouse to come out and let us take a look. Otherwise, we won’t leave tonight.”
“No…don’t come out!”
Guoguo retorted vaguely.
Of course, the people around him would not let them go. Being stopped by Guoguo, who was standing in front of them, they pushed Guoguo forward.
Muya, sitting on the bed, naturally knew the situation at the door. He guessed that Guoguo must have drunk too much. Judging from the momentum of the door, there must be quite a few people, so he stepped out, regardless of the rules.
He couldn’t see very clear with a cover over his head, lowering his head, he could only judge which person was Guoguo through his clothes.
Seeing the new spouse come out, their voices became louder.
“The new spouse is here. He came out.”
“The new spouse must have a heart for the bridegroom! He walked out by himself.”
“That’s true, there has never been such a thing before in our tribe. The new spouse really likes his bridegroom very much!”
“That’s for sure, the bridegroom was chosen by the spouse himself. Look at the face of the bridegroom, if I were the spouse, I would also protect him.”
“Stop dreaming, look at your sloppy appearance.”
So these people started to talk to each other in front of Muya and Guoguo. Muya was unhappy with their words, but he only frowned and didn’t say anything.
Holding Guoguo’s hand, he was about to walk inside, but Guoguo refused, with his hand slipped from his, “Don’t hold me, I… I’m married, married …”
Hearing this, Muya knew that Guoguo must have thought that someone else was holding his hand, so Muya couldn’t help but laugh. Whether Guoguo loved him or not, he could say such words at this time, he was satisfied. With so many people listening here, these words would come out tomorrow.
Of course, Muya was happy to see it.
While the people changed their topic after hearing Guoguo’s words. They reached out to ask Guoguo to guess who they were, completely teasing Guoguo on purpose.
Guoguo slapped all the hands in front of him, and groped his way inside. When he touched the edge of the door, he was about to close the door.
Seeing his intention, the people at the door immediately reached out to stop him.
Muya pulled Guoguo behind him and said to the people outside, “You guys have made a ruckus, it’s too late and you should leave now.”
As soon as Muya finished, the group of people outside started to laugh. They said that the bridegroom was not in a hurry, but he, as the new spouse, started to worry.
When Muya heard this, she really wanted to beat him up, but he couldn’t. After all, there were elders outside. Seeing that they have been in a ruckus for so long and someone should have said that, the Patriarch chase them away. And then he said to Muya, “Muya! Xu Mu was a little drunk, you’d better look after him.”
Then he left. Closing the door and removing her cover, Muya supported Guoguo to the bed.
Not long after lying on the bed, Guoguo sat up again, judging by his manner, he should be sober.
Muya asked, handing him a glass of water, “Why do you drink so much? Are you better now?”
After drinking the water, Guoguo handed the cup to Muya and said, “Much better and I still have a headache. There are too many of them and they can drink a lot, so I am not their equal.”
Hearing his words, Muya felt both angry and amused, and he complained, “You’re too honest, you drink when they tell you to?”
Guoguo smiled, shaking his head, and didn’t say anything.
Then the two of them, one was standing and the other was sitting. After a while, Guoguo raised his head to look at Muya and asked,”Why did you expose yourself? I should do it.”
Muya waved her hands unconcernedly and said, “Whoever picks is the same. Besides, you’ve already drunk like this. I don’t even know if you can wake up tonight. If you don’t wake up, would I just cover the whole night?”
Guoguo nodded, he knew what he said was right. Since they were married, there must be a lot of things for them to do, let alone he was awake now.
Holding the edge of the bed, Guoguo stood up and walked to take over the cover. He covered Muya’s head again and led him to sit on the bed. “Now that I’m awake, I should remove the cover myself! Let me see how beautiful my beautiful new spouse is today.”
Muya sat obediently on the bed and didn’t say anything, waiting for Guoguo to cover him up.
Slowly, Guoguo extended his hand and removed the cover. Before Muya looked up, he kissed him on the forehead, and then said, “My new spouse is the most beautiful spouse.”
His word made Muya blush immediately.
Then Guoguo went to the table to take two glasses of wine, handing one to Muya and said, “My spouse, we should have a toast.”
Muya blushed even more, but he obediently cooperated with Guoguo and drank the glass of wine with him.
Then it was time to go to the bed. This time, Guoguo was not calm either. Before marriage, the elders in the family had told him what they should say, so he knew what to do.
Muya was the same, but he knew he shouldn’t be reserved anymore. He decided not to worry so much, pushing Guoguo to the bed, and he said, “Alright, let’s not linger. Haven’t you said that you want to go back? If you want to go back, we have to have a baby, and today is just our wedding day.”
Seeing Muya’s face, Guoguo knew that he couldn’t be reserved any longer.
A Ge’er had already taken the initiative, if he dawdled again, it was impertinent of him to do that.
Guoguo flipped over and pressed Muya under his body. While he was taking off Muya’s clothes, he said, “This is my first time, let me know when you feel pain, then I’ll stop.”
Rolling her eyes, Muya thought, what a fool he was.
No one would have said that at this time.
I really wrote it in a hurry. Sorry for any typos.
