Chapter 200 Ending (2)
After the Winter Solstice Festival, everything in Yan'an City returned to normal.
The top priority was the wedding of Gu Wanqing and Bai Jue. That day, ten miles of red makeup and gongs and drums were loud. The situation from the General's Mansion to the Bai Mansion, and then from the Bai Mansion to the General's Mansion, amazed the people in Yan'an City.
Gu Wanqing originally wanted to get married in a low-key manner, but Bai Jue must insist on having a grand ceremony and spent a lot of money to go in. After all, the wedding has been postponed for more than a year.
But when welcoming the bride, the wind suddenly blew up, which made people's eyes sway and swayed left and right.
The sedan chair owner accidentally sprained his ankle, and the big red sedan chair was tilted, frightening the people next to him.
When they were about to help them, Gu Wanqing flew out of the sedan chair in red and landed steadily on the back of a donkey.
She lowered her eyes and looked, "Oh, why is it a donkey?"
I don’t know which street the evil wind blew a stupid donkey, but the bride who got into the sedan chair and didn’t get to her husband’s house could not land. So Gu Wanqing said, “Then ride this donkey over.”
She said, leading the donkey forward.
Bai Jue was riding a horse in front to guide the way, and the people behind him were also stunned.
The bride was covered with a red veil with mandarin ducks flying together. Her exquisite wedding dress was a lady with a beautiful and graceful temperament, but she actually rode on the back of a dumb donkey.
She and Bai Jue walked side by side, both of them were dressed in red, a horse, and a stupid donkey, and arrived at the Marquis' Mansion.
Such an unprecedented picture was remembered by many people at that time, and even painted by painters, and was later sold at a high price.
When it comes to whether these two legendary characters have any weird things happen after they get married, this is what people really want to care about.
But it seems that there is no.
Their lives were surprisingly dull and they hardly interacted with other people in the mansion, just closed the door and became a young couple.
...
The death of Marquis Bai was three years after Gu Wanqing and Bai Jue got married, when Gu Wanqing's eldest daughter was born.
Nanyan pacified the five countries and almost dominated the world. The people in Yan'an City lived and worked in peace and prosperity, and the country was peaceful and the people were safe.
After Mr. Bai resigned from his official position, he often missed state affairs, and his condition became increasingly serious and the use of medicine was useless.
Until Marquis Bai closed his eyes, Bai Jue still did not tell him that Bai Lingshang was still alive.
Bai Jue said that there are really many regrets and entanglements in the world.
However, on the day of the funeral, a figure wearing a linen cloak appeared at the back door of the Hou Mansion. Gu Wanqing and Bai Jue both knew it was Bai Ling, but neither said anything.
Gu Wanqing and Bai Jue insisted on taking Bai Ling back to the Hou Mansion to live together, but Bai Ling insisted on living in thatched huts among the mountains and rivers, so it would be good to be alone.

Gu Wanqing always fought for three or four months in a year, so it became - Bai Jue and his children stayed alone in the empty bedroom.
After the birth of their youngest son, Bai Jue also resigned from an official position and lived a lifestyle in a state of retirement. He would not interfere with the troubles of the government anymore.
Gu Wanqing felt that it was necessary to have someone to earn money to support her family, so she was so passionate that she couldn't stop her.
Bai Jue always sent her out with a dark face, no matter how domineering he was, Gu Wanqing would never compromise on this matter.
However, Bai Jue also promised that he understood Gu Wanqing's ambitions.
Fortunately, the small countries around the Southern Yan Dynasty did not launch any wars, and gradually there was no need for Gu Wanqing to lead troops to fight, just to go and patrol occasionally.

More than twenty years later.
While the emperor Rong Sheng was amnesty, he also released Rong He who had been sleepy for a long time.
Rong He's middle-aged man who has experienced many vicissitudes of life no longer has the elegance and gentleness he used to be when he was a teenager.
Rong Sheng gave him a small house where quietness is not easy to be disturbed, and no one will find his identity. In the future, the identity of plainclothes and common people will survive.
...
There is a wonderful place with beautiful mountains and rivers outside Yan'an City. A small lake was opened up when the land shakes.
But this location is very remote and far from the village, so a thatched hut is built by the lake in this radius of several miles.
Many flowers are planted next to the thatched hut, including lotus in summer and chrysanthemums in autumn.
The weather turned colder, and a man in white and a woman in red were walking on the trail.
The setting sun and the lone wild goose fly together, and the autumn water and the sky are the same color.
"Just bringing them over to see their uncle, the Empress summoned them to the palace to accompany her. It's a pity that today is such a good weather."
"Brothers don't like people to disturb them. If you like them too much, you will be upset if you come too much. This time you are not bad."
In front of the thatched hut by the lake, it stands in the wind. Even if his face is covered with scars, it does not affect his elegant temperament that is independent of the world.
Seeing the two people coming, he smiled slightly, "Dinner is ready, come and have a meal."
At sunset, smoke rises.
The three of them sat in the thatched hut eating simple meals, but were talking and laughing.
Bai Ling looked at Gu Wanqing and Bai Jue in front of him. The years seemed to have left no traces on their faces, and it seemed to be like the boy at that time.
When the moon rose, Gu Wanqing and Bai Jue turned back from the mountain road hand in hand.
Bai Ling stood in front of the thatched hut and watched for a long time. Whenever he saw the happy backs of the two, he would unconsciously raise the corners of his mouth.
He turned around and wanted to enter the room, but his body suddenly became stunned.
Under the moonlight, when the dark clouds avoided it, a figure appeared not far from the thatched hut.
A figure he has been thinking about for many years but dare not think deeply about.
The two stood like this for a long time. One was desolate and the other was covered in scars.
"For twenty years, are you okay?"
"I am fine."
"That's good."
When Bai Ling turned around again, Rong He had already left the thatched hut.
He also turned around and entered the house.
Not far away, Gu Wanqing and Bai Jue saw this scene.
The breeze was a little cool, and Gu Wanqing drilled into Bai Jue's arms. For some reason, she felt a little sad.
"Bai Jue, let's go home. The children should have come back. We will arrange a marriage for them tomorrow."
Bai Jue stopped Gu Wanqing's shoulder and gently kissed her forehead, her eyes bright and she laughed softly.
"good."
