”Zhang Jian, wait for me first at the courtyard, come in only when I ask you to do so!”
”All right”
Traditional people sure are full of trouble
In the courtyard, I boredly used a tree branch to tease the carps within the pool, as the radually covered up by a sea of clouds Just at thisunnatural otherworldly feeling
It was as ifthat the whole world had-only-
”All right, you can enter now!”
As instructed by Yè Zǐ, I once again pushed open the old ooden doors, and the ht that appeared before me ended up permanently etched within my heart
The big hallwas very crowded, and crowds of ”people” sat onto the chairs placed at the sides of the big hall, they hadtheir hands, as theirphrases
”The groom have entered!”
”Yè Zǐ xiaojie, congratulations, you've finally attained your wish!+”
”Good granddaughter, I wish you happiness!”
”Xiao Zǐ, I wish both of you will live together to a ripe old age!”
Yè Zǐ didn't say a word, and only kept bowing to theh her face was covered up with a red cloth, but the floor had unknowingly became wet a little
What exactly is going on right now
”Since the grooin!”
A rather kindly looking oldto the seating ways of traditional times, this should be a rather important and respected old man
”Good son-in-lahat are you doing still standing there? Come on in!”
”Ahokay”
So this old randfather, huh
”First boards the heavens!”
I knew it, ould have to go through this process
(TL: the ancient chinese whenwould bow three times as a tradition, first to heavens, second to parents (offer tea as well), third to themselves)
Things started to be a little concerning, I won't be taken away, rightthis charade see
Having no choice, right now I could only accoether with her towards the skies outside at the courtyard
”Second bow, to the parents!”
We turned around, and bowed towards Yè Zǐ's grandfather, and I even followed the traditional wedding rules and poured a cup of tea in respectful salute
”You guys don't need to rush onto bowing towards each other first, Xiao Zǐ, your father and mother have returned to see you”
The old rinned broadly as he pointed towards a corner of the courtyard, and there had awine
The instance Yè Zǐ saw the else
”Dad! Mom!”
”Zǐ 'er, Mom is really very happy, finally this day had arrived”
Yè Zǐ's htly-transparent tears welled up in the corner of her eyes
”You! Cohter from me!”
Yè Zǐ's father in retrospect doesn't look like he's the type who could be easily talked toI'm innocent, it's just a charade only!
”Uood day”
I don't really knohat to say already, right now,in a total messed up state
”Main, what should you call me!!!”
Yè Zǐ's father roared towards ryas expected of an official from the i presence
”Bà! No wait, Diē!”
(TL: No, he did not ask him to die Diē is pronounced as 'D-eee-airrr' Both means ”dad”)
Scaryit feels like I'm about to be eaten by him
”Ha ha, good boy! Brat, if you are to bully Zǐ 'er, even if I'host I won't let you off!”
By the way aren't you a ghost right now!!!
As such, I had really become confused already
If hus in such a short period of tiht now I'm in that kind of condition
”Mom, please have some tea”
Yè Zǐ' passed some tea towards her mother, and her father sternly looked towards the cup of tea I held within my hands
I think I understood what to do already
”Diēplease have some tea”
”Mood health?”
Eo!
”Uht now it's five hundred years later already”
”It's been that long huhforget it, tonight, we've corets, and we can finally rest in peace”
Suddenly, all the crowd fro all ran towards the courtyard, they accoether, and stared towards me and Yè Zǐ
”Couple Bow, Couple Bow, Couple Bow~”
The crowd clapped as they encouraged us to proceed onto the final step
I' will I be taken away
Forced by the circumstances before me, I faced Yè Zǐ and ed towards each other respectively, the e unnatural otherwordly feeling disappeared, and the whole courtyard immediately quietened down
The luminous moon, shone upon the entire courtyard once more
”This way, Second Uncle, Third Aunt, Xiao Liu ge, Mom, Dad, Grandpa, everyone won't need to worry about me any more”
”Hubby, let's enter the bedroom”
Hubby and whatnotforget it, as long as she liked it
Being dragged by her, I walked into a roohly si hall, the only difference was that there was an additional large red-colored bed in the room
I feel that I'o back to the police station again
Wait, waitYè Zǐ is older than me by five hundred plus years, so I can't be considered to be co a crime! By the way, is there any such offence in the law-book about humans and spirits?
”Take it off then”
She stood in front ofher
”Yè Zǐ, have they left already”
Once I pulled off the red cover, I casually asked that question
”What should you call me?”
”Laolao po?”
”I'h I already existed for five hundred plus years, but e is only twenty years old!”
(TL: it's a joke, wifey = ”lao po” in ranny in chinese)
She looked like she co between a couple
”Wifey?”
I can only think of this na saw this situation right now I'll definitely be beaten to death
”Here”
”Umm, about my question just now”
”Everyone shouldn't appear anyfeelings that s had been coone like the wind”
”Since it's like that then don't cos then, since it's not simple to see theain?”
”We are beingour wishes is our everything, as we had long passed awayand under this kind of situation still being able to resolve our regrets, I think it's fine already”
”It'seasily satisfied huh, you guys”
”Let's not talk about it first, coe of wine”
