106 Cold Eyes
The sun rises as usual.
A faint red sun hung on the treetops, and the Liufu of Lingzhou Mansion soon shuttled back and forth, and the people were busy, and the new lanterns added last night were slowly turning in the wind.
Last night, the people who were greedy for the lanterns slept late, and when they got up, they yawned tiredly one by one.
"Get up--get up--there is a happy event in the house today, you all give me a little vigilance, cheer up and serve carefully, who dares to go wrong and turn around and deduct the monthly money, don't look for your uncle, I beg grandpa to tell grandma to intercede-"
The steward of the Chase Room kicked the door open, and stood at the door shouting.
One body after another got up from the sweet sleep.
Today's marriage in the house is indeed not the time to be lazy and slippery.
A young man with shaggy hair crawled out of the bed, and glanced to the left, where the bed was so well tucked away, as if he had seen the little camel asleep when he came back from the dark last night.
This kid can really sleep, and he won't turn over all night - is he drinking too much somewhere?
He lifted his foot and kicked it hard, making sure that it kicked out a string of his stinky farts.
Tong -- a strong kick to kick through.
It hurt so much that the young man hugged his feet, this little camel, what kind of trick is he playing, why is his body so hard, it hurts the master's feet!
The strange thing is that the little camel is quietly covered in the bed, if he must have jumped up and fought with people, how can he be so obedient today? Could it be that the sun is coming out of the west?
The young man tore off the little camel's quilt.
"Ah......h
The cries of terror shook the entire Odori room with the cold air.
But this panic only diffused in the chase room, and as soon as the steward's blackboard face appeared at the door, the panic automatically cooled down, "What are you panicking about? Isn't it just a little camel who dies? This little thing usually doesn't look like words, he doesn't study well at a young age, gambling and drinking to seduce women-"
He stopped suddenly, because he found that the woman he was seducing was not the same Liu Yuan who was going to marry today, and everyone in the chase knew that the little camel had a godsister.
The steward lowered his voice. Ordered someone to drag the dead little camel down, first wrapped it in a broken mat and stored it in the backyard firewood room, and then sent someone to the little camel's father to say a word after the happy event was completed, and then sent someone to the government to report it. Just go through the motions, what a big deal, why panic.
Everyone did not panic soon, the little camel is just a dispensable person here, and if he dies, he will die. No one will properly investigate the cause of his death, and his death will not affect other people's normal eating, drinking, and sleeping.
Today's Linglong Pavilion people naturally got up the earliest, early in the morning the housekeeper arranged for the bride to dress up the person came, a few neat women, came respectfully to Liu Yuan to say goodbye, began to serve and freshen.
Although she is just married to be a concubine, although she is just a righteous daughter who is temporarily recognized, although this righteous girl is from a low background, she is going to marry the master of Hanlin, no matter how much attention is paid to Cheng Dù in the Hanlin Mansion. Liufu didn't dare to despise it at all, and the housekeeper lady personally stared at these servants and waited for makeup.
I bathed last night, and now I clean my hands and face with water, and the fine and soft official powder evens out a white and tender face, Qingdai traces a pair of curved willow eyebrows, and the ointment points out a star of crimson lips, and two more handfuls of rouge are smeared on the cheeks, and two thin pieces of blush are blended.
A crow green black silk coiled up high, low and low, piling up the common flower bun of the daughter's family in Lingzhou Mansion. Don't put on the bright red gold hairpin, and the sideburns are densely pressed with a row of beads.
The delicate undershirt is covered with soft cotton jackets and cotton pants, and the outermost is covered with a dazzling red embroidered wedding dress.
Regardless of whether the Hanlin Mansion valued this concubine or not, the Liu Mansion tried its best to do its best. Liufu is sincerely willing to marry the relatives of Hanlin Mansion.
The waiter helped Jiao Jiao weakly, and the two maids supported Liu Yuan, who was dressed on the left and right, when they appeared at the door of the Chen family to bid farewell to their parents, the team of Zhang Hanlin's family arrived.
Steward Liu was overjoyed and ran in to report the good news.
"What? Four sedan chairs, gongs and drums sounding in unison, eight great gifts, this...... How is that possible?"
Hearing Steward Liu's report, Liu Dingmao, who was drinking tea, was shocked that he couldn't hold the tea steadily, drenched his leg obliquely, and burned half of his left hand.
It doesn't matter. He stood up excitedly, and immediately changed his clothes and went out to pick up the guests, even if Master Hanlin did not come to greet him in person, of course, this is impossible, Liu Dingmao also smiled and went out to pick up in person.
Chen looked at the orchid standing in front of Yingying and was about to kneel down and kowtow, and smiled Yingying personally helped him up, "Okay, my son, don't be like this, between our mother and daughter, where do you get so much false courtesy?" Seeing that you are going to marry into a good family, my heart as a mother is happy and reluctant......
As he spoke, he gently wiped his tears with a handkerchief.
Liu Wan suddenly pounced behind him, and was about to pounce into Chen's arms, but Chen dodged, Liu Wan fell to the ground, and suddenly fell to a, and he cried on the ground.
Chen stroked his lower abdomen with one hand and watched quietly, with a hint of disgust in his eyes that was difficult for outsiders to detect. "Brother Wan'er, you are not too young, you are not allowed to pester your mother in the future, your mother is pregnant, what if you fall down and hurt the child in your belly?"
Liu Wan kept crying, and Chen could only bend down to coax him, and finally coaxed him up.
Liu Wan stared and didn't understand, why was her mother so good to her in the past, but now she is not as good as a day, and she doesn't want to hug her by herself, why is this?
Chen was so entangled by him that he couldn't cry or laugh, and pointed to Liu Yuan in front of him, "This is your fourth sister, and she is going to marry far away today, do you look good when the fourth sister wears new clothes?"
Liu Wan turned his head to look, his eyes really showed joy, and he smiled and clapped his hands, "It's good-looking, it's really good-"
The maids and servants also looked at Liu Yuan's makeup and feasted their eyes.
No one expected Liu Wan to suddenly scream, and his two hands grabbed Chen's arm tightly, "Mother, she is not the fourth sister, the fourth sister is not like this, she is impersonating, she is a bad person, I have seen her before, she beat and scolded Xiao Yahuan in the corner courtyard, she is very fierce, she is a fierce woman." He let go of Chen's hand and rushed to Orchid, "Bah, you're a bad woman—"
He actually spat directly onto the noodles.
panicked and the mothers-in-law brushed together to pull Liuwan.
Liu Wan made a fuss like crazy. He couldn't hold it down, he jumped to his feet and cried, shouting that he wanted to go to Liuyun Hall to see his fourth sister.
Outside, the female guests in the marriage team of Hanlin Mansion have been led to Linglong Pavilion, Linglong Pavilion is next door to Chen's family, and Chen hurriedly shouted to the mother-in-law to cover Liu Wan's mouth. lest he talk nonsense.
Lan Mei Li Ma and the others naturally understood what the eldest lady was taboo about, and several people saw that Chen's attitude towards Liu Wan since she was pregnant was far less loving than in the past, so they were not so polite to this headache little madman, Li Ma covered his mouth fiercely, and several people dragged him to the kang and stuffed it into the bed.
But Liu Wan's stubborn temper came up, crying and scolding, saying that this sister is a fake, an impostor, you killed my fourth sister, and replaced it with a bad woman......
I can't wait to shout so that the whole world hears it.
Angry, Chen bounced up from his chair. rushed over and slapped the mouth hard, this slap was very loud, and Liu Wan was beaten.
It's just that his mother doesn't hurt him, and now he is still fighting?
He was shocked and angry, and he wanted to say something, but he stammered and couldn't say anything, and suddenly his neck stiffened, his eyes rolled white, and his mouth foamed at the mouth, and the madness flared up again.
Liu Yuan looked at it as a disaster caused by himself. Hurriedly bowed his head and bowed, and said goodbye and left.
The moment he turned around, Liu Yuan, who was dressed in red, bumped into a person.
When did she come, she stood at the door silently.
Chen was about to reprimand him for not being long-sighted. What are you selling at the door? At first glance, it was the child daughter-in-law, and she forcibly withdrew the curse words.
The dumb aunt was dressed in plain white, and she stood at the door.
Chen glanced at it hurriedly, and suddenly felt a little uncomfortable, this day of marrying a daughter, the mansion is festive. But how did she get this virtue? Is this a mourning or a new widow?
It's really not auspicious.
The orchid is half a head taller than the dumb aunt, they stand together abruptly, one is full of red jewels like a blooming peony, the other is thin and lonely, with a face like a light moon, a white dress wrapped in a thin body, a handful of hair is loosely combed into a ponytail, the bun is not decorated with any hairpin rings, but with a plain white silk tie a bow, looking like a big white butterfly on top of the black hair.
If you only look at the clothing, the orchid is a red flower, and the dumb aunt is just a faint small leaf.
But Orchid didn't know what to remember, and suddenly her knees weakened, and she bowed down to the woman in front of her who was half a head smaller than herself.
“……”
She must have wanted to say something, but she didn't say anything.
This little mute who she used to serve but never took her as her master, now she can speak, thinking of all the great disrespect she once had for her, Orchid suddenly felt a little empty and guilty.
The dumb aunt did not hinder or support, her footsteps flashed slightly, avoiding the orchid in front of her, "Everyone has their own creation, I hope you can do it yourself." ”
Are you talking about orchids?
Orchid raised her eyes and tried to meet her gaze, but she didn't look at it at all, her eyes fixed on the small body twitching in the quilt on the kang.
Chen Shi bumped into the dumb aunt's gaze.
It seems that today's happy event, she is just an outsider, she is not sad, she is not happy, she is only willing to watch coldly.
The clear eyes were looking coldly at this warm and luxurious room and its owner.
Chen, who was calm and calm, suddenly felt a little cold in her body under this cold gaze, and she didn't know why she was a little panicked and a little weak-hearted...... Disguisedly raised his hand to wipe the hair on the sideburns, one side of the black silk was smooth and obedient, Yahuan had just been served with oil, where was there a trace of messy hair?
"This ...... This Wan'er is becoming more and more ignorant, this disease ...... After all, it's getting heavier and heavier......"
What is this trying to say?
Are you justifying some of your actions, or are you seeking psychological comfort?
The woman in front of her was still so quiet, as if she was still that timid little mute, she couldn't hear, she couldn't speak, she only liked to observe the things in the world quietly with a pair of dark eyes.
"Prick it with a needle—"
"Twisting your ears and shouting—"
"Pour cold water on it—"
"It's better to let him twitch on his own, and when he has had enough seizures, he will wake up naturally-"
"Wouldn't it be nice if I just sucked to death—"
Lan Mei took two little girls around the little body curled up in a ball, and tried all kinds of means just to wake up this person who had passed out, it seemed that they had long been accustomed to it, and they were all slow and unhurried.
"Take him to my courtyard—"
The dumb aunt said slowly.
Lan Mei looked up at the eldest lady, she couldn't make up her mind.
Chen Shi was stunned for a moment, and soon smiled gently, "Be careful to escort it over, I am naturally very relieved to have a daughter-in-law taking care of Brother Wan." ”
Soon, the two sturdy mothers-in-law half-lifted and took the thin Liu Wan out of the corner courtyard. (To be continued.) )
