Mother Li’s palm held A’Li’s thick black hair as smooth as silk and satin, and her eyes were gentle and reluctant, “On your happy day, your mother has nothing to give you.”
Then she took out a red silk from her arms and the slender cloth bag slowly unfolded for A’Li to see, “This thing was given to me by my parents at the time of my marriage, and I will give it to you today.”
Thin silver needles of different sizes were inserted into the cloth bag at equal intervals, and the needles were sharp and gleaming with cold light.
This was all for the healer, and every needle had saved people’s lives.
Seeing the needles, A’Li’s fingertips moved slightly, and he looked down at the precious needle bag in his mother’s hands, then his eyes slowly moved from the silver needles to her hand.
Those hands were rough and dry, like the corners of the mouth and brows, and they were full of wrinkles, showing her old age.
A’Li’s chest suddenly felt stuffy and his vision was a little blurry. He took a deep breath and carefully took off the needle bag with a smile.
He has secretly made up his mind, but he can’t let mother worry about the future.
A’Li tightly clenched the cloth bag in the palm of his hand and was carefully supported by his Mother Li out of the main room to the wedding sedan chair.
Mr. Sing Li was invited by Mother Xiao for the wedding ceremony. When he saw the bridegroom coming out, he immediately shouted loudly—
“Four people carry the flower sedan chair, a hibiscus is blooming beautifully today, step on the sedan chair with your left foot to give birth to a noble girl, and step on the sedan chair with your right foot… get up the sedan chair!”
This was a solemn treatment that could only be given to a husband. If the woman’s family was not careful, and she was married to a man who had no status, the treatment would be fairly different.
Seeing the scene, the uneasiness in Mother Li’s heart was shattered by the crackling sound of happy cannons outside the door.
The corners of her eyes and brows slowly raised a small smile, and she patted the back of A’Li’s hand comfortingly and carefully sent him to the sedan chair.
The marriage of the Xiao family’s eldest daughter was a major event. Even though the other person lived in the Xiao family’s backyard, they had to carry it around the county seat.
Xiao Yan heroically sat on the back of a horse, and Ah Feng walked slowly beside her holding the reins.
Next to her was the beating team with the loud sound of suona, and behind her was the sedan chair carrying A’Li.
As a human being, Xiao Yan was going to marry a husband for the first time.
Xiao Yan couldn’t tell what she felt in her heart. At first, she was lost, and then she was full. It was only now that she felt a little real in this world.
The wedding team stopped at the gate of Xiao’s residence, and Xiao Yan rolled over and quickly dismounted.
When the attendants on both sides of the sedan chair saw the eldest lady striding forward, they bowed down lowered their eyes and slowly lifted the sedan curtain to reveal the bridegroom sitting inside.
A’Li was dressed in red today, and although he was covered by a big hijab, and she couldn’t see his eyes clearly, Xiao Yan could still imagine his cold and abstinent face under the red hijab.
Maybe he was frowning and pursing his lips impatiently, or his eyebrows were stretched and his face was calm, no matter what kind of expression he had, A’Li could hit the bullseye and tug at the string in Xiao Yan’s heart.
The cold and detached eyebrows and the red clothes that were fiery like fire could double the temptation of the ice and fire.
People couldn’t help but want to see the ends of his eyebrows and eyes because he was clinging to the red color of lust and love when his cheeks were tinted crimson. Like his wedding dress.
A’Li presence to her was like a little spark in an oil bucket, it can be fried with a little swirl.
Until the slender, white hand sticks out of the red sleeve and slowly stretches out from the sedan chair…
Xiao Yan took a few deep breaths, and her heart was full of heat and was abruptly stopped by the pale hand that stretched out from the sedan chair.
Xiao Yan lowered her eyes and smiled, quickly handed her palm up, and held A’Li’s hand to carefully pull the person out of the sedan chair.
