Dream Guide

Martha sat quietly in front of the dressing mirror, letting the makeup artist apply delicate makeup on her face.

She saw the beautiful girl in the mirror, who seemed a bit strange. She wore a diamond-encrusted hairband on her head, which was integrated with the snow-white soft veil and wedding dress. It slid from her body to the ground and slowly flowed on the floor like milk.

The makeup artist's hands were very skillful, and her face was made up very delicately without looking too gaudy. The light freckles on her cheeks could still be vaguely seen through the light foundation, and she still retained a bit of playfulness and dignity. cute.

Martha couldn't help but laugh when she thought that the groom was being fiddled with by a makeup artist just like her. She wanted to rush over now to see what the groom looked like after putting on makeup, but the maid on the side told her that she could not meet her beloved before the wedding.

Of course the maid was not dedicated to serving her. They are all maids invited by Mr. Wolfe's family, and they are all her sisters. It's just that she grew up in the manor, and was treated like a daughter by Master Wolfe. She and little Wolfe also felt like siblings. But she is well aware of her identity, has never been arrogant or arrogant, and has a very harmonious relationship with everyone. Now that she is getting married, the sisters will naturally make fun of her.

The breeze lifted the curtains, letting the sunshine and the cheerful chirping of birds jump in through the window. Martha took a breath of fresh air blowing in from the distant mountains. It was such a beautiful day and worth looking forward to!

She has been waiting for this day for three years.

After that chance encounter in Stanley Park, she fell in love. She had been waiting for the man to speak to her, kneel down with bright roses in his hands and say: Marry me, dear Martha!

But the man didn't say anything for a long time. Every time he stood in front of Martha, Martha felt that he was about to say something, but was suddenly interrupted by some inexplicable emotion. Martha could feel that he was worried, and it seemed that he would feel anxious and hesitant every time he faced this critical moment. At first she suspected that he had someone else in his heart, or that he had a bad past in China or Europe.

She told him: I don't care about your past. She encouraged him: You must face the future bravely and face your own heart.

He seemed impressed by her. Just when he was finally about to say those words, Master Wolfe's condition worsened again.

It turns out that Mr. Wolfe has improved under Huang Liang's treatment and has almost returned to his former self. Not only has he lost his wheelchair, but he can also ride his bicycle to Stanley Park for fishing. Of course, when he rides, he is always followed by a large group of bodyguards and people who serve him. Mr. Wolf complained to his son, "I am not the president. The family business has been handed over to you a long time ago. No one will care about an old man!" But Master Wolfe still went his own way, even adding patrol boats to the nearby sea.

Mr. Wolfe often met Professor Dickinson in Stanley Park. The two old men always let out hearty laughter at the beach. As the sea breeze spread far away, even the seagulls in the distance could hear their annoying chirps from time to time.

Martha always followed Master Wolfe quietly, ready to be dispatched at any time. Sometimes Huang Liang is there, he has integrated into the Wolf family, and Master Wolf treats him like a son. When he was here, the old man would always say, Hey Martha, why are you always following me, eavesdropping on what we two old men are talking about? Go, help me pick a few roses, and let Huang Liang accompany you to help you block the thorns. Remember, they must be half gold and half red.

Martha and Huang Liang went to pick roses together, but where could they find half-gold and half-red roses? They walked and walked in the rose garden, looking and looking, and the sun went down in a flash.

When he couldn't get the job back, Old Wolfe wasn't angry. He just said, "I can't find it. That's because you haven't got home yet. You have to look for it with your heart, with your heart, with your heart!" Only two people's hearts can find two colors. Only two people's hearts can come together and two colors can bloom on the same flower!

Martha knew that Mr. Wolfe wanted to fulfill their needs. If the master doesn't say it, she won't say it, and Huang Liang won't say it either. Every time the master goes fishing, they go to the rose garden to find half-gold and half-red roses.

But before the rose was found, Mr. Wolfe's health began to fail again. Although he does not go crazy like before, nor does he show the symptoms of werewolf transformation, he is lying in bed, getting thinner and older day by day.

This time, Huang Liang was also helpless.

Martha stayed at old Wolfe's bedside every day. One day, old Wolfe opened his eyelids, stared at the ceiling with his dim eyes sunk in his eye sockets, and said: "Martha, I'm afraid I can't wait any longer. I promised your mother that I would find you a good home." . My child, quickly marry the one you love!"

Martha was terribly sad. She didn't know how to answer Master Wolfe's words. But at this moment, Huang Liang came in, holding a bouquet of roses in his hand.

She was surprised to find that every flower in the bouquet of roses was half gold and half red. The two colors are not distinct, but mixed together. Some petals are golden, some are red, some are red with gold spots, and some are gold with red edges.

"Where did you pick it?" Martha asked, eyes wide.

Huang Liang said: "There are no half-gold and half-red roses in the rose garden, but I remembered a kind of rainbow rose I saw in the Netherlands. Water-soluble dye is dripped into the inside of the flower stem. When the petals absorb the dye, a rainbow blooms. The same gorgeous color. I secretly conducted the experiment, hoping to make a half-gold and half-red rose. God did not let me down, and I finally succeeded in the experiment!"

When he said this, he suddenly knelt down on one knee, raised his head and said, "Martha, marry me! I love you!"

Martha was listening in rapt attention when she suddenly froze. Her heart was beating loudly, tears were flashing in her eyes, but her hands were half-stretched and half-shrunk, and when she touched the petals of the rose between her fingers, she started to tremble.

She had been looking forward to this moment for a long time, but when it came, she didn't know how to face it. Until I heard Mr. Wolfe on the bed say: "Martha, promise it! Martha!"

…

The makeup artist has done her job. Martha woke up from her memories and saw the girl in the mirror with a sweet smile on her face.

"It's time to go, Miss Martha!" A maid opened the door and said.

Martha stood up and dragged her long wedding dress out the door. She first went to Master Wolfe's room and kissed the old man's skinny face on the bed.

"Master Wolfe!" she called softly.

Old Wolf opened his eyes and moved his mouth slightly: "Go, go, Martha, I can't get up, but I wish you well. I saw your mother, and I told her that you were getting married. She was very grateful to me. , she said that she has already taken care of the rose garden for me in heaven and is waiting for me to go there."

Martha left with tears in her eyes and entered the church with a smile on her face.

The church is not big, but solemn enough. A well-known pastor in Wimsey presided over the wedding. Mr. Qui Wolfe, his colleagues at Wolfe Manor, several local gentlemen, and Professor Dickinson witnessed this moment.

When putting the ring on Martha, Huang Liang suddenly stopped and asked her in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Do you really not regret it?"

Without thinking, Martha looked into his eyes and said equally quietly but firmly: "No."

Huang Liang said: "I am not an ordinary person."

Martha said, "I know."

Huang Liang said: "My past is unbearable to look back on."

Martha said, "I don't care."

Huang Liang said: "You may suffer a lot if you are with me, and it may also be very dangerous."

Martha said, "Just be happy."

Huang Liang said: "Can you be happy even if you endure hardship?"

Martha said: "Together is happiness."

Huang Liang was about to say something else, but out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly caught sight of an old woman who had appeared in the last row of the church. She was smiling at him and casting an approving glance.

He smiled, stopped talking, gently moved his finger forward, and put the ring on Martha's ring finger.
