Madam Wei did not let her work, so Liu Dalang helped with the farming.
When Tang Yuan arrived, the sun had already risen. He was carrying two rabbits that weighed four to five catties. “Auntie, take these. Today is Sister Sanniang’s birthday.”
Tang Yuan had grown a lot taller and his life was getting better off. Although he was only 13 years old, some matchmakers had already started to introduce girls to him. Although his parents had passed away early, his family was not bad and he had a lot of land.
Tang An was Tang Yuan’s only sister. When these matchmakers came to the Liu family, Tang An rejected them with the reason that her brother was still young.
Tang An was very happy that her brother was so sensible.
Madam Wei took the rabbits and said with a smile, “Yuan, you’re getting better and better at hunting. 1’11 accept this gift on behalf of your Sister Sanniang. Have a good chat with your sister. Stay for lunch and eat this rabbit.”
Madam Wei’s spicy rabbit was delicious.
After dinner, Tang Yuan went back.
In the afternoon, Liu Sanniang and Chu Yan went out. Chu Yan brought Liu Sanniang up the mountain and away from the noise of the crowd.
On the top of the mountain, the houses below had shrunk in size.
Chu Yan asked Liu Sanniang to close her eyes. He held her hand and placed something in her palm. “It should belong to you.”
Liu Sanniang opened her eyes. There was a scale in her hand. It was ink-like and smooth like jade.
Liu Sanniang knew that this was a dragon scale. In her previous life, she had seen Long Yi’s true body and knew that he was a black dragon. She knew what his scales looked like, but this one was very different. Liu Sanniang looked at Chu Yan. “It’s different.”
Chu Yan’s eyes were deep as he stared at Liu Sanniang. He said in a low voice, “It’s indeed different. It’s the reverse scale.”
Liu Sanniang was a little puzzled. “But why haven’t 1 seen it before?”
Chu Yan reached out and pulled Liu Sanniang into his arms. “Because it grew after you left. When it grew, I realized that I already loved you to the core.”
The moment the reverse scale grew out, he was in so much pain that he wanted to die. That was his reverse scale, representing his weakness. At that time, he had also lost her.
Liu Sanniang was puzzled. “How did it become like this?”
Since it was a scale that belonged to him, it should be on his body. But now, it was in her hands. How painful would it be to pull it out?
It was said that the reverse scale grew on the area closest to the dragon heart. Liu Sanniang looked at Chu Yan, waiting for him to explain.
Chu Yan kissed Liu Sanniang’s eyes. His Adam’s apple bobbed as he said softly, “After you left, I was in pain. I thought that I would be fine after getting rid of it.”
It was also very painful to take out the reverse scale. Later, when the wound healed, there was only a faint white scar left. However, his heart was still in pain.
Because he had experienced such pain, he did not want his sister, Ying Tao, to suffer like this. Therefore, when Ying Tao grew a reverse scale, he pulled it out and caused her to be incapable of loving and being loved.
But now, he knew that he had done something wrong.
The reverse scale was love. How could he pull it out? It grew for Sanniang and he was only taking care of it for Sanniang. One day, he would have to return it to her.
He waited for this day for a long time. Eventually, they reunited. What he had kept for her could now be given back to her.
Liu Sanniang gently wrapped her arms around Chu Yan’s waist. “How silly.”
Liu Sanniang leaned against Chu Yan’s chest and could hear his heartbeat. She smiled.
When one fell in love with someone, they did so many stupid things without knowing it.
It was the same even for gods.
Liu Sanniang thought that as long as she was alive, she would never be separated from him again.
She would go to countless places with him and see many sceneries. She would definitely lead a happy life with him.
February 20th.
On Liu Erlang’s wedding day, the courtyard had been rebuilt and was much bigger. Liu Erlang’s new room was built in the expanded area.
Liu Erlang’s wedding dress was personally embroidered by Liu Sanniang. There was an auspicious bird embroidered on the wedding dress, and there were hundreds of flowers. Liu Erlang had a smile on his face. Anyone who saw him would know how happy he was. He rode his maroon horse out to pick up the bride.
The Ye family also looked festive. Ye Niuniu had started dressing up early in the morning. Madam Zhao handed the comb to Old Madam Ye and said gently, “Mother, you dote on Niuniu the most. You should comb Niuniu;s hair.”
Old Madam Ye took the comb with mixed feelings. “In the blink of an eye, Niuniu is getting married. I really can’t bear to part with you.”
Old Madam Ye had always liked Ye Niuniu and had personally brought her up. At this moment, these past memories appeared in her mind.
Tears instantly welled up in Old Madam Ye’s eyes. She held the comb with trembling hands and said in a choked voice, “You don’t have to worry about money. You’ll be healthy and carefree. You’ll have many children and a long life.”
Every time Old Madam Ye combed Ye Niuniu’s hair, she would say something auspicious.
Old Madam Ye’s face was teary, and so was Ye Niuniu.
She was happy that she was about to get married, but the sadness of leaving home lingered in her heart. When she heard Old Madam Ye’s choked voice, tears fell.
Old Madam Ye combed three times before giving the comb to Madam Zhao. Madam Zhao was Ye Niuniu’s mother, so she had to do the last three combs.
Old Madam Ye took a red hairpin and inserted it into Ye Niuniu’s hair. “My girl is really beautiful.”
Madam Zhao gently wiped her tears. Old Madam Ye smiled and said, “It’s time to wash your face. You can’t cry anymore. Your makeup is smudged from crying.”
Ye Niuniu hugged Old Madam Ye and Madam Zhao and burst out crying. “Boohoo, I don’t want to leave Grandma and Mother…”
When Old Madam Ye heard the gonging sound outside, she gently patted Ye Niuniu’s back. “It’s a joyous day. Your mother and 1 are so happy. Wipe your face. The auspicious time is almost here. Erlang is also coming to pick you up..”
