The Evil Man’s Lazy Lady Chapter 63 (Part 1)
Chapter 63: Little Wolf Married a Wife (1) Original translation is from tenderflower's blog.
Shu Lan’s wedding date was brought forward a year, which made the preparations of the Shu and Qin family a little hurried.
Xiao Lang was the easiest. He had prepared the dowry early. The Shu family arranged the yard of the wedding room for him. The bridegroom’s robe was embroidered by Shu Wan and placed in his room. He would wear it secretly every night to try, and then fall asleep with his head facing the window, looking at the stars and the moon. Looking and looking, the stars have turned into the lazy girl’s big watery eyes, and the moon has turned into her bright smiling face. Really, the more he looked at it, the more he wanted it.
Contrary to him, Shu Lan was very busy. In the past, Qin-shi asked her to embroider the dowry earlier, but she kept delaying it. Qin-shi thought there was still time, so she did not urge her. Well now, it was only a few days of work, and Shu Wan could help her share the other embroidery work, but the wedding dress must be embroidered by herself. Fortunately, her temperament was quiet enough. She sat obediently on the heated-brick bed in the inner room for several days, seriously embroidering, and even the noise outside the door would not disturb her.
After embroidering the wedding dress, she slept all day and was pulled up by Shu Wan the next day. In a drowsy state, she was put on a wedding dress, put on makeup, covered her head with a red veil, and was immediately carried to the sedan chair by Qin Han, her third cousin who had already been engaged. In the sound of firecrackers, she heard Qin Han seem to say something to her, but she was so sleepy that she didn’t want to ask.
Because the Shu and Xiao family were too close, according to the custom, the sedan chair was carried out from the west of the Shu family, circled Qingshan Village, and then returned to Xiao’s house from the east. Xiao Lang was sitting on a high-headed horse in a bright red wedding robe. His eyebrows were tall and straight, his eyes were like ink, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised. His demeanor was in no way inferior to Cheng Qingran, who fascinated everyone in the past. In addition, this was almost the first time the villagers saw him smile. They couldn’t help but stare blankly at him.
Cuihe stood on the side of the road with her son in her arms, pointed at Xiao Lang, and told her son: “Look, that’s your uncle, remember to greet him when you see him in the future!” She and her family were not invited, but Cuihe was still very happy. Xiao Lang married Shu Lan, and Shu Lan’s older brother became an official in the capital. With this light, the village head and his wife dared not use her as a maid again. She was grateful for the blood relationship between them, even if the other party was dismissive.
Xiao Shouyun and his wife did not dare to go out to see the fun. As early as the news of Xiao Lang and Shu Lan’s marriage came out, whenever they went out, the villagers would sarcastically ask if their family had received Xiao Lang’s invitation. Lianhua had gone out. She looked at the handsome Xiao Lang from a distance, looked at the big red sedan chair, and secretly made up her mind that in the future, she would find a husband who was prettier and richer than Xiao Lang. Shu Lan could get it and she could get it too.
After the music played all the way, the sedan chair finally stopped.
According to the custom, when the bridegroom kicked the door of the sedan chair and the bride lifted the curtain of the sedan chair, the bride should hold the ball made of strips of silk handed by the bridegroom, and the bridegroom would lead the bride out of the sedan chair and cross the brazier.
But the fact was that when the sedan curtain lifted, Xiao Lang saw his lazy girl curled up inside, sleeping soundly. Half of the red veil slid down and half-covered her face, only showing a small, smooth look of her chin. With his sharp eyes, he could even see the gentle rise and fall of the veil.
He was not the only one who saw this scene and there were different inhalation sounds around.
However, Xiao Lang didn’t seem to hear it. He took a step forward and hugged Shu Lan out. Ignoring the wedding nanny’s exclamation, he stepped over the brazier and strode directly towards the wedding room. When he entered the door, everyone returned to their senses. You look at me, and I look at you, I don’t know what to say.
But it didn’t matter what they said, Xiao Lang couldn’t hear them.
He gently placed Shu Lan on the heated-brick bed, frowned when he saw her face was smeared in a bad way and cleaned her face before the wedding nanny chased in so she would sleep more comfortably. There was the sound of hurried footsteps in the courtyard. It was probably the wedding nanny who came to persuade him. Xiao Lang quickly kissed Shu Lan’s red mouth, reached out, and closed the door. He walked out quickly, and said to the people in the yard, “Everyone, sit down, let’s eat and drink!”
He married the lazy girl to live a life with him openly and honestly, not for those customs. Rather than let her wake up and kowtow, he would rather let her sleep soundly.
He stood in front of the kitchen door with the appearance of a door god, who dared to say anything?
Over there, Qin-shi heard about the situation here, and she was both funny and angry. She could sleep on such a day. She was angry that Xiao Lang didn’t understand the rules and indulged her daughter in mischief, but finally, she threw herself into her husband’s arms and cried. Xiao Lang took care of her silly daughter in this way, she could feel at ease even if she went to the capital.
The April breeze was intoxicating, the sun gradually set in the west, and the guests dispersed one after another.
The wedding banquet was done by inviting people to build a shed in the yard. When they left, the dining tables were tidied neatly. Xiao Lang closed the door, looked back, and found that there was nothing he needed to clean up. So, his eyes fell on the east wing window, where his lazy girl was sleeping.
He couldn’t tell what he was feeling in his heart. He was excited, happy, and more at ease. From now on, she could only stay by his side.
Shu Lan woke up and was very hungry.
As soon as she opened her eyes, she heard the sound of the door curtain being lifted. She raised her head to face the tall man in red. She was stunned, then rubbed her eyes and sat up: “Older brother Wolf, I’m hungry...”
Xiao Lang looked at her and smiled, walked to the edge of the heated-brick bed, and opened his arms towards her: “Come here and give me a hug.”
“Mm.” Shu Lan stood up but did not notice that she was wearing a cumbersome red wedding dress. She stepped on the corner of the skirt after only one step.
Xiao Lang caught her firmly, lifted her with a big hand, and put the person in front of him. He wrapped her waist with one hand, raised her chin with the other, and carefully traced her small face.
