late night song

Chapter 218 Yuling Bonfire
After the Hehe national disaster, the people were displaced and their families were destroyed. Five of the nine Hongchai female soldiers who got married this time had no relatives in the world. They had no family to rely on. Several others decided to accompany them from Hongchainu. They were married together in the army's military camp.

As the officiant and the leader of the Red Hairpin Girl Army, Gu Yuchu naturally spent the eve before their wedding with them. She did not stick to the formality and gave them the nine gold-plated silver hairpins in advance.

The bride was very happy to get this hairpin, and the other girls were envious.

"General, if we get married in the future, will there be any gifts?" someone asked anxiously, causing others to make fun of her, saying that she was not ashamed.

"Of course, no matter where I am, as soon as your wedding invitations arrive, I will be there naturally."

Gu Yuchu promised. She fiddled with the torch and saw a group of energetic girls smiling and surrounding her. They believed in her and relied on her. She was really lucky.

After the baptism of the war, there are less than 80 remaining members of the Red Hairpin Women's Army. This allows them to unite more closely and regard each other as the closest family members.

But behind today's joy, they couldn't help but think of their fellow sisters who died on the battlefield, and the atmosphere suddenly became sad.

"Cuiying, Lianqiao, Qiuhua, Yingying." The girls announced the names of their deceased comrades one after another, feeling extremely sad.

"And Princess Ran Ying." Fan Yuan was exquisite and clear, and she naturally understood Gu Yuchu's thoughts.

Yes, it would be great if everyone was here at this time.

"She also has a name that you don't know, called Lanye." Gu Yuchu unconsciously touched the pearl emerald bamboo leaf earrings on her ears. They glowed blue in the dark night. She specially brought them with her today. It's like the blue leaves are still there.

"May they have a blissful life." Fan Yuan raised the wine cup with both hands and said something that moved everyone's thoughts. The girls raised their glasses one after another and sprinkled the wine on the ground, silently reciting the names of the deceased in their hearts to express their memory.

Gu Yuchu gently squeezed the wine glass, remained silent for a while, and then poured it to the ground. Then she poured another full glass and raised it: "The deceased has passed away, but we are still here. I propose a toast to you all. I wish you happiness in this life and never again. Weary from the war.”

The girls all raised their glasses and drank it all. In this sad and happy night, someone sang the parents' song. The voice was ethereal and beautiful, which warmed everyone's hearts.

The comfort of life can only be felt by the living. Since you are alive, you should cherish the present moment.

Early on the next morning, many aunts and makeup ladies were dressing up nine brides at the same time. Gu Yuchu was holding a wine bottle and leaning to the side. He couldn't help but think of Lan Ye's wedding night, when she was with them doing nothing like this.

When the bride is finished dressing up, she is as charming as a hibiscus emerging from the water.The rest of the girls who were looking outside the door swarmed in and screamed with envy when they saw the phoenix crown and blond hair, the pretty eyebrows and red makeup.

After a lot of fuss, they noticed Gu Yuchu. As the host of the wedding, it was really unattractive for her to be wearing plain clothes and little makeup. So, the girls made a fuss and asked the makeup girl to put makeup on her. Gu Yuchu couldn't stand the booing, so she I had no choice but to comply with their wishes.

It was approaching the auspicious hour of noon, and the nine wedding teams were already waiting outside the camp of the Red Hairpin Women's Army. Although the bride was the protagonist of the day, General Yuesheng, who was dressed in women's clothing and made up, really made everyone's eyes brighter. , greatly shocked.

Closer to home, everything about the wedding ceremony was simple, but the battle-hardened girls were not that easy to deal with.

The nine brides covered their heads and stood in a row, allowing the groom to choose his bride based on his knowledge of his sweetheart. If the guess was correct, the bride would respond with a bow, if the guess was incorrect, the bride would ignore it.

Of course, there is no clue at all. They can win hints by asking questions or asking the bride to perform actions.Of course, to ensure fairness, the groom needs to determine the order of precedence through a show of wrists. No. 1 has three chances, No. 2 has two chances, and the rest only have one chance.

The young men who were welcomed by the garrison army all expressed that it was too difficult.

But the grooms were beaming with joy and didn't take it seriously. They tried their best. No matter how many opportunities they had, they either seized the key and asked about the secret story between the two, or sang a song on the spot, or It was a trick to pretend that an old injury recurred, and in the end he chose the right bride. It seems that the bride also deliberately let things slip. Even if she was the chosen husband, how could she deliberately make things difficult on the big day.

After they said goodbye to Gu Yuchu, they went back to their homes in the city to perform the rituals of heaven and earth. In the evening, there was a grand bonfire party waiting for them in the former royal ridge of the Lejia royal family.

After the armistice on the northwest front, the Beiling and Hehe coalition forces had not had time to celebrate properly, so they took advantage of this happy event to have a lively and emotional time together.

Ling Buhuo specially allocated a sum of money and asked Fan Yueqing to organize it, saying that it would be regarded as a generous gift for the marriage of the Hongchai female army and the city garrison. In addition, he also repeatedly ordered that there would be no siege at the bonfire party. , as long as the common people in the city can participate, including many young girls who have not yet left the court, it is regarded as a grand blind date banquet for the bachelors in the army.

Everyone can use this trick of marriage. Wouldn't it be wonderful if the young man from Beiling fell in love with Hehe's beauty? If he is stationed in Hehe, he will make Hehe his home. After a few decades, he will not be able to tell the difference between his country and his country.

After noon, well-informed vendors in the city gradually moved almost all of the night market to the former Royal Ridge.

The sun was gradually setting, and the bonfire was not lit, but red lanterns were hung on the vendors' carts one after another.In the center of the field, there were ten burning fire rings standing in an arc shape in the sky. The soldiers in the army changed into civilian clothes and came in groups. When they saw it from a distance, they all guessed what the purpose was.

Not long after, nine newlyweds appeared holding hands in red wedding clothes and appeared under the cheers of everyone. They were very loving and beautiful. What was even more tacit was that the brides all had gold and silver hairpins of a similar style in their heads.

The bride and groom are the protagonists of the bonfire party. According to the etiquette, they must work together to light the first batch of bonfires to make others watching the ceremony happy.

So, under the watch of everyone, they stepped onto the high platform that had been set up in advance, held the bow in pairs, and shot the feather arrows stained with kerosene. The arrows missed the burning ring of fire and were quickly ignited, and then accurately fired. Fall into the towering torch pillar behind the ring of fire.

For a moment, the evening sky looked particularly beautiful against the firelight.

The last arrow was arranged to be shot by Gu Yuchu alone. In the end, the last torch pillar was also shining brightly.

"It is fate that we are in the same profession, and it is even more difficult to have our names engraved on the three birthstones. I wish you a happy marriage for a hundred years, always be united, and protect the common people together."

After saying these congratulations, the nine newlyweds thanked the general for officiating the wedding, and then the crowd watching the ceremony burst into warm applause.

Gu Fan was sitting in a wheelchair, and Shu Yuan was pushing him. When the two of them saw how their sister was dressed today, they couldn't help but exclaimed in unison: "I just barely look like a woman today!"

Immediately afterwards, a strong and melodious sound of the piano sounded, attracting everyone's attention.

On another high platform not far away, a man in plain clothes and a silk hat calmly played the strings of the piano. The sound of the piano was melodious and vast. After the song, it seemed as if the flowers were blooming in the green fields under your feet, and the sky was slightly exposed. The moon is also getting brighter and brighter.

"The newly composed 'Under the Moon', I wish the newlyweds a long and lasting marriage, and I wish those destined to live up to their youth." The person playing the piano opened his mouth, and his voice was low and sweet.

"Emperor Qin!" A knowledgeable person shouted, and everyone applauded again. They couldn't help but sigh at General Yuesheng's appearance. He actually invited the missing Qin Emperor to appear, and even sang a song for the happy event in the army. New song.

Shan Mingxi didn't want to join in the fun, but she still came to Yuling unknowingly. When she heard the song, she felt that it was very familiar. However, the Qin Emperor himself disappeared after just one song, without any intention of nostalgia. This made She was deeply curious about this mysterious piano emperor, so she followed him quietly.After the opening ceremony, the bonfire party officially began. Countless small torches were lit one after another. Men and women gathered around the flames, eating skewers, drinking wine, singing and dancing happily, immersed in this joyful time.

As for Gu Yuchu, before the music stopped, Ling Buhuo appeared next to her, which really shocked her.

"Are you not the Qin Emperor?"

"When did you have such a question?" Ling Buhuo crossed his arms and smiled.

"Chenglu Street." She pursed her lips. At that time, she was more than a little suspicious of him. Now she thinks about it and feels a little guilty. "So, Emperor Qin was also specially invited by you?"

He shrugged noncommittally, but raised his hand to straighten the long, messy hair on her shoulders. She rarely let her hair down, so it looked really good.

Whether she was shy or not used to it, she dodged quietly, but this subconscious move made Ling Buhuo feel a little disappointed.

"Master, please come this way." A girl from the boudoir summoned up the courage to step forward and grab Ling Buhuo before walking towards the singing and dancing crowd.

Ling Buhuo wanted to break free, but when he turned around and saw Gu Yuchu's untroubled expression, he even waved his hand as if to indicate that he was having fun, so he left angrily.

This Hehe has long had such a custom. Whenever the boudoir is invited to attend a bonfire party, the daughter's family can put down their reserve and send out an invitation to the man they like, but this girl is indeed a little bolder.

However, the war between Hehe and Hehe lasted for three years. As long as those who survived, no one cared about false courtesy. Gu Yuchu really admired the girl's courage. It was a hilarious scene, but it was nothing.

So, she wandered alone among the cheerful crowd. Although she did not participate in it, she could still feel their freedom and happiness at the moment.

Just by accident, she bumped into an old friend she hadn't seen for a long time.

"Niang Niang!" She greeted happily, and Niang Juan stepped forward and hugged her in surprise.

"Liu Guang, long time no see!"

"Yes!" Gu Yuchu was also happy, and suddenly she noticed the man beside Juan Niang and was even more surprised, "Boss Meng! You two"

Juan Niang lowered her head with a smile on her face, while Meng Gu put his arm around her shoulder and admitted generously: "We are together."

"Wow, congratulations! When did it happen?" Gu Yuchu almost jumped up. In the past, Juan Niang was graceful, smart and polite, with a smile always on her face. But today, she is still shy and happy. First time seeing it.

"Speaking of which, I still want to thank you." Juan Niang said, holding her hand.

"Thank me?" Gu Yuchu had no idea at all.

"In the past, He He and Beiling were inseparable and secretly hostile. Meng Gu and I worked for the two countries on Chenglu Street. Although our hearts were connected, we could only cut off the relationship. Now, the two countries have become one, and we no longer have a homeland. Because of my worries, the young master and I resigned from our posts a few days ago, so that we can renew our relationship with him."

"That's God's favor for lovers." Gu Yuchu was very good at talking, "Then what are your plans in the future?"

"Meng Gu is in the medicine business, and I plan to work with him to run the Chinese medicine shop in the city."

"That's great. If you two masters join forces, this business will probably be done all over the world!"

"You've said so much about me, what about you?" Juan Niang knew the entanglement and pain in her heart from beginning to end, and sincerely hoped that she would be able to discern her sincerity.

"I'm fine, everything will be better in the future." She didn't say it clearly, but at least her heart was facing the sunshine. One day, she could get out of her own fog and move forward bravely.

"Then he."

Juan Niang wanted to ask more, but was stopped by Meng Gu: "Fate has its own destiny, why are you in a hurry."

Juan Niang understood, and saw Ling Buhuo walking slowly behind her, and blinked at Gu Yuchu with a smile.

"Juan Gu Pharmacy, come to the store for tea when you have time." Meng Gu was very polite. After saying that, he nodded towards the person behind her and took Juan Niang, who was bowing respectfully, to another place.

Gu Yuchu turned around in surprise and saw Ling Buhuo.

"He can recognize you even if you are like this?" She asked. In the past, Ling Buhuo used the identity of Xiao Ling as a cover and disguised himself, but not many people knew about it.But Meng Gu's reaction just now was very strange, as if he was reminiscing with an old friend, but why could he recognize Ling Buhuo as Xiao Ling at a glance? Maybe he knew something.

"Maybe it was dark and he recognized the wrong person."

"It's impossible. Look at the fire, it's like broad daylight. He's not blind."

"That's because I always go to him to buy Sophora japonica resin and Donghai isinglass. He noticed something."

"That makes some sense."

Gu Yuchu touched his chin and thought, but suddenly he seemed to think of something else: "Hey, didn't you go dancing with the girl? Why are you back so soon?"

The man who had forgotten this incident suddenly turned dark again and said nothing.

"This is Hehe's custom. The girl invites you kindly. If you refuse, it would be too rude." She patted his shoulder matter-of-factly, like an old man educating a young child.

This made Ling Buhuo, who had not yet calmed down, even more unhappy, but seeing another girl running toward him, he put his arm around Gu Yuchu's waist without hesitation, leaned close to her ear, and smiled evilly: " Do as the Romans do, I've got you today, it would be very rude of you to refuse."

Without waiting for the woman in his arms to react, he immediately hugged her and plunged into the singing and dancing crowd, which made the girl standing beside him saddened by her courage and disappointment.
