On this day, I sat alone in my small building, embroidering my wedding dress while waiting for Qing Ling.
Qing Ling had been dragged away by one of his senior brothers. He said that he was going to the mountain north of the Southern Mountain to catch a demon, and that he would have to come back a little later.
I embroidered a small fox on the collar of my shirt, and a pair of white wings on the fox's back. The fox represented me, and the white wings represented the strange green feathers of my life.
I never knew what kind of bird Qingling was. I thought he was like Wuxie, but then he rejected me. Wuxie said that the white crows were godly birds, and because there were so few people in the world, any new member of the flock would have been born with a thick, colorful line in his genealogy. If Qingling was a member of the flock of white crows, he wouldn't have been unaware of it; moreover, I had secretly taken a look at his feathers, and he was certain that they weren't actually the feathers of the white crows. That feather was pulled out and hidden when I first met the Green Feathers by the Ice River. The feather was charred black by the fire, so it was impossible for Wuxie to tell which race this feather belonged to.
However, Qing Ling belongs to the Bird Race after all, right? So, in this foreign world, even though the person I'm marrying now is only a cultivator and his real body is just that of an ordinary human, I still want to weave wings that represent the Green Feathered Bird species onto this piece of clothing.
Of course, I am born clumsy, people don't expect me to embroider anything large and complicated. Actually, the entire wedding dress was sent over by Xiao Er xiaojie after she asked the tailor to customize it. Because of the customs here, the bride's wedding dress had to be embroidered by herself, so they left a small pattern on her collar and cuffs for me to embroider. In addition, in case my embroidery wasn't good, they also drew the pattern with great care, and I only needed to compare it with the red thread, which was very simple and convenient.
I slowly embroidered the flowers, feeling the joy of a bride waiting to be married. When he thought back to the days he had spent with Qing Ling, he felt touched.
Liuxia once said that marriage is a marriage of thousands of miles. So, Qing Ling and I can be considered as fated in the previous life? Even though there is a vast distance of distance between us, between Heaven and Earth, between the six realms, and even between the two of us, we are still able to walk together. Green Feathers' words before he fell off the cliff were true. He and I will meet again. I am destined to meet him. Even though the world was complicated and strange, as long as one could be with him, one's heart was at peace. No matter what happened, no matter how much was worth it.
I was so beautiful that my cheeks flushed and I couldn't help but hum a little tune.
At this time, he suddenly heard a coquettish laugh in his ear: "Oh, my little sister Bai Wu, why are you so happy? Did you think of something happy? "
I turned my head to see that the second young mistress of the Xiao family had come over. She has been helping me with my wedding recently, so she has been coming to this mountain quite a bit.
When I saw her, I immediately stood up and warmly greeted her, "Second Miss, you're here. Please take a seat!"
Second Miss Xiao pursed her lips and smiled as she walked over. Not even bothering to be polite with me, she took a seat and greeted me. After admiring my embroidery, Miss Xiao took a box wrapped in a brocade cloth from the maid and handed it to me with both hands. "This is a small gift from elder sister. I hope that younger sister can accept it.
"A gift? You've already helped me so much, what present do you have for me? " I was a little confused and a little embarrassed. Just as I was about to refuse, Second Miss Xiao pressed my hand. "Little Sister, there's no need to be so formal. Whether or not you like it or not, let's open it and see first."
I saw that she was speaking mysteriously, as if there was something else in the box. I couldn't help but be curious, so I took off the cloth.
Inside was a square box of vermilion gold, large and heavy, with a flap and a rich, delicious aroma that made me sniff.
It was a pot of good wine! Beside the jug of wine was a pair of red candles. On the surface, there was an exquisite carving of a dragon and phoenix, looking very precious.
These red candles are a precious tribute to the royal family. They are very rare in our mountain village. It is said that when it burns, it produces a wonderful fragrance that makes one's heart exude a divine feeling. On the night of your marriage, it would be better to give it a try. " Second Miss Xiao gave me an ambiguous smile and even winked at me in a very funny way.
"What about this wine?" I asked eagerly, and swallowed without conviction.
The fragrance of the wine was so fragrant that it made one salivate. Could it be that he would have to wait until the wedding to drink it?
I looked eagerly at Miss Shaw, hoping that she would not torment me so much.
The Second Miss pursed her lips and smiled, then patted my shoulder. "This is my manor's new 'Peony'. I've brought it here for you to try. If you like it, when we get married, we'll use it to entertain our guests. How about that?"
When I heard this, I was overjoyed. I didn't have the time to appreciate any dragon and phoenix candles, so I immediately took out a cup.
After pouring two cups, he first asked Miss Xiao to carry the remaining cups to his mouth. Then, he picked up the remaining cups and hurriedly put them into his mouth. En, the wine smells good and the flavor is sweet. After drinking it, one's mouth would become watery and the aftertaste would become endless. It was truly a pot of good wine!
"Sister, drink slowly. This good wine needs to be served with good dishes. Today, I will personally cook. Once again, sister will make some small dishes and drink until sister is drunk. How about it?"
Of course I agree. In any case, Qing Ling had gone to catch a demon today, so he didn't come back at this late hour. He was probably pulled by his so-called "fellow sect member" again to wash his mind. I believe in his determination. He definitely won't easily change his mind, so now that Second Young Miss Xiao said that she would drink with me, I welcomed her a hundred times.
Not long after, Miss Xiao brought out a few dishes and left the rest for the maidservants to do. She then sat down opposite the small round table and drank with me.
I had had three or four drinks by now, and they were sweet and smooth and not choking at all, but they were very strong, and by the time Miss Shaw had raised her glass to toast me, I felt a little dizzy.
"What is this wine made of?" Why do I feel a little dizzy now? " I lay on the table and swirled the small wine glass in my hand. "It's not easy to make me fall drunk …"
Miss Xiao refilled my empty cup and passed it to me. "It is the newly collected peony wine from the village. The aftereffects are a little strong, so little sister doesn't have to worry. The smell of alcohol will also disappear after I sleep for a while."
I nodded and drained my glass again, then fell into a daze.
Therefore, I said to Second Miss Xiao, "I'm sleepy. I need to sleep for a while. "If Qing Ling comes back, I'll have to trouble you to tell him not to go out tomorrow. I … I still have some things to say to him …"
The aroma of the wine was getting stronger and stronger, and my eyelids were getting heavier and heavier. By the time I reached the back, I could no longer speak or move my hands.
Vaguely, I saw that Second Young Miss Xiao's expression had become a little twisted as she glared at me with venomous eyes, as though she was staring at an irreconcilable enemy.
Eh, Miss Xiao, what happened to you?
I wanted to reach out and touch her face, but I couldn't be sure whether Miss Xiao's face had changed or if my head was spinning.
That twisted face tilted to the side in disgust and avoided my hand. Then, I heard a sneer from her, "Hmph, your Qing Ling won't return tonight. You should just obediently sleep in peace. When I wake up, it will be over. "
Eh, what was she saying?
