Longevity begins with slaying demons and eliminating demons

At this time, Zhao Yan took two gourds cut from a gourd from the side table, and the handles were connected together with colored silk threads, and tied into a concentric knot.She filled the ladle with wine, handed one to Gu Xu, and held the other in her hand.

The two drink one cup each, and exchange cups after drinking half of it.

This is "Hexing wine".

Because the gourd has a bitter taste, and the wine in the scoop is made from grain, the alcohol content is not high, and the taste is sweet.Drinking this wine means sharing joys and sorrows and becoming one.

After drinking, Zhao Yan threw the two ladles down on the bed, and saw that when they landed, one was facing the sky and the other was facing the ground, she couldn't help smiling, and her eyes were even more burning when she looked at Gu Xu.

Gu Xu knew that this was a ritual of divination in the wedding customs of the Great Wilderness.

If the goblet is turned up and down, it means that men are bowing to women, yin and yang are harmonious, and marriage is happy, which is a sign of good luck.

Of course, Gu Xu has already noticed that Zhao Yan quietly used her real energy when throwing the gourd ladle to ensure that nothing would go wrong.

He didn't intend to expose it.

He just stood up and took off the complicated and gorgeous corolla for her.

Zhao Yan's thick black hair spread out like flowing ink, pouring down on her shoulders and down to her waist; the faint fragrance of hair permeated the vermilion curtains, making one intoxicated.

Gu Xu's fingertips passed through her soft hair, and gently held her cheeks, looking at her slightly trembling eyelashes, and her pair of eyes that never shy, never dodged, and looked straight at him. Eye.

The lonely and determined girl thousands of years ago and the bright and charming bride in front of him quietly overlapped in his mind.

"Yan'er."

He called her softly, and kissed her lips.

Zhao Yan kissed him back with a more passionate gesture.

She also stood up, hugged his waist tightly, and reached out to undo the belt behind him.

A few minutes later, the clothes of the two were scattered all over the floor.

Zhao Yan was lying in the middle of the bed, her black hair was disheveled, and only a fiery red apron was left on her body.

Gu Xu put his hands next to her ears and looked down at her.

The tips of their noses were very close, and their breaths were entangled.

"Gu Xu."

"Ok?"

"Am I now... am I dreaming?"

"Why did Yan'er say that?"

"I feel that what is happening is so unreal," Zhao Yan murmured, "In the past and present, I have been waiting for you, chasing after your back... I often feel that the distance between you and me is very far, and I dare not Believe that one day you will truly belong to me..."

Gu Xu understood that because he had always rejected her and avoided her feelings in the past, Zhao Yan still didn't have enough sense of security in her heart even after paying her respects and drinking Hebei wine today.

She was afraid that he would abandon her for others, and she was even more afraid that he would disappear into the sunlight without a sound like thousands of years ago, never to return.

"I'm yours," Gu Xu kissed her cheek, "I'm yours until death."

"Will you leave in the future?"

"Never again. We'll always be together."

"Really?"

"Ah."

Zhao Yan narrowed her eyes suddenly, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

"I feel it now."

"Feel what?"

"I feel that you are telling the truth,"

Gu Xu felt his blood became hot, and his heart was pounding.

Even the day they left the North, they had explored every inch of each other's bodies.

But the woman in front of him is still like an unpredictable fairy, tempting him all the time, calling for his lust that is silent in the depths of his soul.

He stopped talking.

First, he blew out the candle next to him, then lowered his head and sealed her lips.

Somehow, an idea popped up in her mind——

The past self has always been incomplete, and it has not become truly complete until today.

…………

In the early morning of the next day, Zhao Yan woke up early from the marriage bed, kissed her sleeping husband, washed her body, dressed neatly under the service of the servants, and came to the foyer of the Liangzhou magistrate's mansion.

According to the custom, the bride and groom should go to the family members, mother-in-law and uncles for tea today.

But because of their special identities, Gu Xu is an orphan with no relatives or reason.

So today, instead, all the ministers came to congratulate the newlyweds.

Shen Qiu was the first to come.

Not only did he send congratulations, but he also brought a bunch of financial matters, ready to be handed over to Gu Xu for decision.

However, Gu Xu did not show up for a long time.

Only his beautiful newlywed wife, dressed in red and radiant, came out alone to meet everyone.

"I've seen Mrs. Yan..."

Shen Qiu originally wanted to call her "Yan Wang".

It was only after the words came out that she realized that Zhao Yan had given up the throne and surrendered to Gu Xu, and now she was regarded as the mistress of his disciples, so she immediately changed her words and called her "madam".

Zhao Yan seems to like this new title very much.

"You have something to do with my husband?" She looked at Shen Qiu with a smile on her face.

When she was the young lady of the Zhao Clan, she had heard of Shen Qiu's name, and knew that although he was short in stature and ugly in appearance, he was extremely talented and capable.

He contributed greatly to the prosperity of the Shen family's property and the prosperity of Gu Xu's "Shouchangfang".

However, she was still a little surprised by Shen Qiu's behavior of following Gu Xu even at the expense of treason.

She felt as if she had once again underestimated Gu Xu's energy.

"I have some financial affairs here, which need to be decided by the emperor." Shen Qiu replied.

"My husband has been too tired recently and needs to rest," Zhao Yan said, "If it's not urgent, you might as well come to him in the afternoon."

Shen Qiu nodded, turned and left.

But there was still some confusion in his mind.

He knows that his master is a diligent and self-disciplined person, and he almost never delays business due to reasons such as "tired" and "need to rest".

Moreover, at the wedding yesterday, Gu Xu was also full of energy and glowing red - how could he be exhausted and bedridden after one night?

Look at this beautiful bride with red lips and pink face...

Shen Qiu felt that he seemed to understand something. (end of this chapter)
