Although this wedding is apparently a make-up ceremony, the etiquette required for getting married is still indispensable.

In the days before the ceremony, Linglong naturally could not live in the original courtyard with Li Mu.

The two bought an unused yard of a family near the yard where they originally lived, and Linglong has been living in this newly purchased yard for the past few days.

The courtyard was decorated simply and brightly. Linglong lived here for several days. She liked to move a rocking chair and lie down under the pear tree on the side of the courtyard wall to take a rest.

When they chose this courtyard, the two of them were walking in the alley outside the courtyard. Linglong looked up and saw the pear tree branches growing from the courtyard wall to the outside. She liked it very much, so she chose this courtyard to buy.

Linglong liked pear trees, and often planted one in the courtyard where she lived when she was little.

When I saw the pear blossom branches outside the courtyard wall, I felt happy.

It was a beautiful and sunny day, and Linglong saw that the weather was good, so she moved the rocking chair out and slept under the pear tree. When she first fell asleep, it was a good weather with a breeze blowing on her face, but after sleeping for a while, the weather turned brighter

It was a bit dazzling.

Linglong was awakened by the dazzling sunlight. She raised her arms to cover her eyes and muttered: "This sun is so annoying."

As soon as she finished speaking, a maid held a round fan to cover her head.

The maid held a round fan to cover her face, and reminded her: "Girl, this wedding dress has been delivered for two days, why don't you try it on? We will get married in two days, if it is so happy

If the clothes don’t fit well, it will be too late to change them later.”

Linglong has heard these words no less than ten times in the past two days, and her ears are almost calloused.

She muttered and replied: "I told you it was made to measure, how could it not fit?" She just didn't want to change it.

Ever since she made up her mind to make up for this wedding ceremony, Linglong would have some fragments of memories that she remembered from that day at the wedding ceremony of the girl next door appearing in her dreams every night.

Among the fragments are her red wedding dress, an empty wedding hall, a vague figure looking at her, and the maid Qiu Shui, who calls out to "girl" one after another.

Without exception, those fragments would always make her sad, so that every time Linglong woke up from her dream and looked at the objects in the room prepared for the wedding ceremony, she would always shed tears.

In this case, naturally I don’t want to try on this wedding dress.

Seeing that her persuasion was fruitless, the maid had no choice but to stop talking again and said instead: "The sun is so dazzling today, how about you go back to the house and sleep?"

Linglong herself felt that the sun was shining brightly, so after hearing this, she took the fan, got up from the rocking chair and walked to the inner room.

She walked in a hurry, and the maid hurriedly called "Miss" from behind and followed her in a hurry.

This maid was bought by Li Mu from Renyazi when Linglong moved to this courtyard.

The boy who worked in the Rouge shop, or the cook who took care of Linglong's food and daily life in the courtyard, Linglong already matched Li Mu and his wife when they first came to serve him. The two of them just thought that they were a couple who had been married a long time ago.

Linglong is called "Mrs."

On the other hand, this maid had just arrived, and she only knew that Linglong and Qi Zhen were going to get married soon. She thought they were just an unmarried couple, so naturally she just called Linglong girl and never called her wife.

Strange to say, Linglong knew that she was married, but somehow, when the clerk or others called her "Madam", she always felt something was wrong, as if she had never heard anyone call her Madam before.

When the maid called her girl, she never felt anything was wrong.

It seemed as if no one had ever called her 'Madam', but she was obviously already married.

Linglong entered the inner room, nestled down on the soft couch and fell asleep. During this sleep, she had another dream.

But what was different from the previous dreams was that this time, she did not dream of an empty wedding hall, but of a pendant that was shaking in front of her eyes.

There was an exquisite dice tied to the pendant. In the dream, Linglong saw herself leaning on the table playing with the dice.

The poem I read when I was young echoes in my ears.

Linglong suddenly remembered that she had thought about giving an Linglong dice to her husband Ruyi.

The next moment, a pair of slender hands held the pendant and slammed it down.

The jade was shattered into pieces.

Linglong recognized that it was her own hand, and looking at the fragments on the ground, Linglong's whole heart ached as if it had been ruthlessly smashed.

At the same time, outside the dream, there was a knock on the door.

Linglong was woken up by a knock on the door.

She breathed a long sigh of relief, pulled away from the sadness in her dream, rubbed her head and stood up.

As soon as I got off the bed, I walked around the screen and looked towards the door. I saw Li Mu and the maid on the other side of the door.

The maid was telling Li Mu something. Li Mu frowned slightly when he heard this, and waved his hand to signal the maid to leave first, while he continued to walk towards the inner room.

When he saw Linglong, he relaxed his brows slightly.

But when Linglong saw him, thinking of the nightmares she had had in the past few days, she said angrily: "Didn't you say that according to the rules, we can't meet each other three days before the wedding? Why did you come here?"

Li Mu could tell that her tone was bad, but he didn't take it to heart.

"Just follow the etiquette, don't bother with the complicated and restrictive rules." Li Mu's temperament was somewhat contradictory.

When he was young, he grew up in a wealthy family and was raised by his grandfather. Naturally, he developed an old-fashioned and polite character. However, when he was young, he traveled around the world and licked blood for half his life. He was also used to a life of freedom, so he was an old-fashioned person.

He is old-fashioned and values ​​courtesy, but he doesn't like to be bound by useless rules, and he doesn't like to impose rigid and cumbersome things on himself.

Because of the strong guard between men and women, he never went beyond the boundaries of etiquette. The most he ever did was to hold her wrists and sleeves, and support her by her temples.

The most important thing is to pay attention to etiquette and be cautious. He can't blame Qin Yue for laughing at him. Confucius and Mencius will be like this again.

But he obviously does this, but he does not allow Linglong to go out casually because of some rules that women should not show up in public. Due to his experience, he is used to seeing people in the world, so he naturally looks down on the restrictive and cumbersome rules.

Li Mu, after all, is a gentle gentleman, but he is also a bit unruly.

Qi Zhen, on the other hand, has a domineering temperament at heart, and the power of the deep palace and imperial city has given him a sense of coercion. He has never been a gentle person, let alone a gentleman.

Different from Li Mu's old-fashioned observance of etiquette, which valued the virtues of a gentleman, the so-called etiquette and rules that Qi Zhen valued were only court rules.

Li Mu and Linglong have known each other so far, and even holding her hand, they still hold their sleeves.

That was not the case for Qi Zhen in the Yuan Dynasty.

When they first met, he held her arm as they ran away together.

It's ironic to say that Qi Zhen is not old-fashioned, let alone observe any so-called etiquette.

He only respects the rules of the palace.

While Li Mu was talking, he looked down at Linglong. Thinking of what the maid had just said, he asked her: "It's been two days since I delivered the wedding dress, but why haven't I wiped it to see if it fits me? Do I not like it? Or do I?"

Because of what else?"

As Li Mu's words fell into her ears, Linglong also remembered the dreams that had frequently tortured her during these days. She began to be afraid, began to worry, and wondered whether Li Mu had really brought her endless pain in the missing memory.

.

At this moment, Li Mu's question came to his ears. Linglong lowered her eyes and pursed her lips, saying nothing for a long while.

After being silent for a while, he suddenly looked up at Li Mu and asked him: "Li Mu, in the memory I am missing, how were you treating me?"

Li Mu was startled, and raised his hand to support Bu Yao, who was sleeping messily at her temples. His throat moved slightly, and he replied: "Linglong, I can't make rash conclusions based on my own thoughts about things you don't remember.

Ask yourself how you feel. Did I treat you well during the days you remember?"

Yes, from Linglong's memory, Li Mu treated her extremely well and never treated her badly in the slightest.

Linglong pursed her lips and hesitated, then raised her eyes to look at Li Mu and asked him: "Li Mu, have I ever given you a pendant made of Linglong dice? Did I drop that pendant? Why have I never seen you wearing it?"

Pendant? Li Mu looked slightly startled, and realized that Linglong should have given a pendant to her real husband.

But he still replied truthfully: "No. Maybe you gave it to someone else. I don't know. In short, I never received it." There was ridicule in his voice, but he felt bitter in his heart.

The exquisite dice makes me miss you deeply.

This kind of implication shows how deeply Shen Linglong treats her unfaithful husband.

How could Li Mu not feel bitter?

After all, it was the wrong time.

When we first met, she was too young and incapable of love. But in the blink of an eye, she has passed the good time of admiring her as a young girl, and that girlish love is destined not to belong to him.

Li Mu sighed in his heart, his eyes dimming slightly.

His words "never sent" were heard, but Linglong smiled.

She thought that it turned out that she had never given him exquisite dice.

Everything in the dream should not be taken completely seriously. Maybe he had never treated her badly, and those dreams might just be absurd dreams that had little to do with her missing memory.

Her eyebrows were bright again, and all the gloom that had settled in her eyes was blown away.

"I've definitely never given it to anyone else. Maybe I thought about giving it to you in the early years, but forgot about it later. How about making one for you now? It's perfect for a wedding gift."

When Linglong smiled, her eyebrows were crooked and her temples swayed slightly, which Li Mu was stunned to see.

He whispered back: "Okay."

Seeing that the wedding was coming, Linglong did as she said and asked Li Mu to buy a piece of jade and send it to Rouge's shop, where she started making dice.

After staying up all day and night, I finally finished it the night before the wedding.

This newly made dice is exactly the same as the one Linglong gave to Qi Zhen in the past, except for the different inscriptions on the inside.

The one given to Qi Zhen was engraved with his name.

This one is engraved with Li Mu's name.

After Linglong made the dice, she felt very sleepy, so she rested in the backyard of Rouge Shop and asked the waiter from Rouge Shop to deliver it to Li Mu. She also said that she must watch Li Mu put it on and asked him to tell Li Mu that if

At tomorrow's wedding, she didn't see Li Mu wearing this pendant, and she was determined to make him kneel in the courtyard all night.
Chapter completed!
