Chapter 17: The Great Wedding
The return of Gongsun Xi brought the discussion of Gongsun Yingdun and others about whether he betrayed the lord abruptly.
Although like Xu Lianshan, he thinks that no one can give him a better treatment than Rong Sleeping Crane, so it is impossible for Gongsun Xi to betray Rong Sleeping Crane as long as he is not crazy, but this person has been in Wangchun Palace for more than half a year, and he still did not come back even after Rong Sleeping Crane repeatedly asked, which is not reassuring in the end.
After he came back, Gongsun Yingdun once knocked on the side in private, asking him why he didn't hesitate to disobey the will of Rong Sleeping Crane and stay in Wangchun Palace for so long?
Gongsun Xi's tone was very cold: "You can go and ask the leader." ”
"If Uncle Xiao is willing to tell me, I will still ask you?" Gongsun Yingdun had a very bad relationship with him before, but he felt that everyone had been a close attendant to Rong Sleeping Crane for so long, and the relationship should not be as good as before, so he smiled and asked the bottom of the matter, "You just talk about it! I promise not to say it!"
I didn't want Gongsun Xi to look at him coldly, so he stood up and walked away.
This made Gongsun Yingdun feel very embarrassed, and he told others that because of Gongsun Xi's status in front of Rong Sleeping Crane, others didn't dare to echo him, so they comforted him vaguely.
Or Gongsun Yingjiang, after hearing about this, he pushed others by himself and reminded Gongsun Yingdun: "Could it be that after Ah Xi saved the queen, the two had feelings for each other, so it is difficult to separate, right?"
Gongsun Yingdun felt that this was impossible: "Ah Xi is the same as wood, will he still play love at first sight?"
"He followed the queen to Wangchun Palace in May last year, who knows how many times he has seen it during this period?" Gongsun Yingjiang disagreed, "Besides, he just doesn't like us, so he is extremely indifferent in front of us." Haven't you seen him persuade his little uncle to talk endlessly!"
However, Gongsun Yingjiang is not very interested in this matter, after all, she knows Rong Sleeping Crane's temper, Gongsun Xi will definitely not let her sleep, the man who doesn't let her sleep, no matter how good-looking she looks, she is too lazy to talk about it...... After all, it is also very torturous to watch it until you can't sleep.
"When is it, you don't care about these inconsequential little things, and check the palace of Mizhen County again!" Gongsun Yingjiang reminded his younger brother, "It's only a few days before the wedding!"
This big wedding, because of the sky-high dowry and sky-high dowry, people who watch the excitement are more interested than those who want to get married.
After entering March, according to the people who went out to buy, they came back to spread the news, saying that in the streets and alleys outside, even in the teahouse, how grand will the wedding of the king of Mizhen County and the county lord of Kangzhao be?
The idlers up and down Chang'an City are more interested in this than one another, and some even decide to seal some gift money when the time comes, so that they can see the demeanor of the bride and groom up close.
These words were announced to Sheng Weiqiao by Feng Shi as a joke, not only to relieve boredom, but also to prevent his niece from knowing nothing, and to be frightened by the enthusiastic crowd that day.
Sheng Weiqiao didn't take it seriously, and said jokingly: "Then the aunt who put on my makeup must find someone with good craftsmanship, otherwise people will rush in to see me with gift money, and go back disappointed, won't it ruin my reputation?"
Xuan Yu Feng scolded with a smile: "Although our Da Mu has always been open-minded, when we get married, we still have to buckle up our hijabs." People who watch the excitement are not from their own family, even if they pay the gift money, they can have a seat on the seat inside, and it is difficult to enter the boudoir and your new house...... Who's going to see what you look like out there?"
He also advised, "Although I know that you want to marry as soon as possible so that you can be married to you and me, but in the current atmosphere, you cried a few times when you left the cabinet to show that you were reluctant to your father's family, otherwise people will say that you can't wait to get married, and this reputation is not good." ”
"I know. When Sheng Weiqiao heard this, she made a grimace at her with a smile and said, "Auntie, you have already told her...... But my mother is not in Chang'an, will you cry for her, or will my grandmother or my grandmother cry for my mother?"
"Who wants to cry for her?" Xuan Yu Feng raised his sleeves, sneered, and said disdainfully, "Whatever your grandmother or grandmother cry, I won't cry anyway, and I can't cry! Just like you are a monkey, I wish you would go out early! Let's talk about it first, you can discuss this matter with your grandmother and grandmother, but don't count on me!"
It turns out that the old lady of Xuanyu's family is completely duplicitous!
Because on the tenth day of the first month of March, Sheng Weiqiao got up, and the person just sat in front of the dressing table, and the dressing aunt specially invited by the Sheng family from the palace entered the door, and Fang smiled and praised: "The county lord is really born beautiful, and the slave and maid are here to make a look at the slave and maid, such a delicate girl, but she really dislikes the color of fat powder!"
Xuan Yu Feng, who entered the door with his back foot, his eyes were red, and he endured it hard, but he couldn't help but say: "It's a pity that a child like a flower like my family is about to go to someone else's house." ”
Saying this, Mrs. Zhan, who came to see Sheng Weiqiao's dressing, and Mrs. Ming also showed reluctance.
Fortunately, the aunt is shrewd, and when she sees this, she may be a group of women hugging her headache and crying, don't you delay grooming?
At the moment, he smiled and said: "The county lord and the county king are a match made in heaven, speaking of which, the slave and maid have not congratulated you, and you have to choose a good son-in-law!
Persuaded like this, Mrs. Zhan and Mrs. Ming were happy again, but Xuan Yu Feng was still a little embarrassed, standing next to him and watching his niece make up, he quietly walked out, went to a secluded place and shed tears alone, seeing that his emotions could be controlled, and then quietly went back.
And at this time, a group of people in the house are surrounding Sheng Weiqiao, helping with the staff makeup, Sheng Weirao and Sheng Weiwei sisters are definitely there, and in the middle, the lord of Jingshu County, Huan Yehe, and the youngest daughter of the Xu family, Xu Caifu, came over, I don't know why, on the Meng side, a few girls who used to follow Queen Meng before, such as Meng Shuanglian, actually came to the door to add makeup.
Although the Sheng family was surprised, it was impossible to turn away the happy day, so they all invited them to the boudoir to talk.
The ladies in such a room said this and that, and it was in full swing, and no one found out about Xuanyu Feng's abnormality.
So in the end, under the advice of a group of people, Sheng Weiqiao, who finally combed his makeup, stood up, turned around, and asked everyone to help take a look: the green silk of the crow and crow was all curled, and a beam of sunset shone in from the window lattice and fell on the bun, showing more and more intense hair color, such as Mosong Xinyan and Wujue.
There is no extra hairpin ring between the clouds, and the pearl jade crown is worn upright, and the nine-tree hairpin made by the skillful craftsman with red gold as the bones, gold leaf jade as the leaf, and pearl agate as the flower is made, which reflects a little golden light in the sunset, reflects the room, and shows grace and luxury.
The peacock on the sideburns is like a peacock opening the screen with a slip of nine tired silk inlaid treasure flowers, echoing with the phoenix-like emerald in the center of the eyebrows, the original soft and graceful distant mountain eyebrows, are finely outlined and depicted by the snail, showing the flying trend of flying obliquely into the sideburns, making the bright apricot eyes seem to have a little sharp, more and more set off the majesty and dignity that the clan woman should have.
However, between the corner of the right eye and the sideburns, a peony that is about to bloom is carefully depicted with rouge, which reconciles this majesty and nobility very well.
Because it is the best age, Sheng Weiqiao was born pampered, her skin is as delicate as porcelain, and she is flawless up close. The dressing aunt only gave her a slight layer of "hosta powder", took the gold flower rouge and lightly dipped her cheeks, and then opened the gilt shellfish box, picked out some vermilion lipstick with a small silver spoon, and put it on the cherry lips that were already bright and bloody, and applied the peach blossom makeup that means "IKEA".
At this time, the wedding dress pays attention to red men and green women, the bride's wedding dress is a cyan dress, wearing a single Zhu Yuan, with gold folded silk inlaid jewels and a lotus belt around the waist, drooping and the wedding dress with a green background Zhu Yuan covering the knees, green crested silk shoes, looking solemn and elegant, a good cover up Sheng Weiqiao's original eyebrows between the remaining childishness, Tingting stood in front of the mirror, when everyone was asked to help with the details, it unexpectedly revealed a little quiet and dignified.
"My family is really ...... It's really ......" Meng Shuangjiao and others cheered one after another, Sheng Weirao and Sheng Weiwei were also praised for being sisters, but Mrs. Zhan, Mrs. Ming and Xuanyu Feng, the three elders were more and more reluctant, the old lady wanted to praise, and halfway through the words, she choked up, afraid of bad luck, and hurriedly smiled and prevaricated a few words, just like Xuanyu Feng's Fangcai, went out in three steps and two steps, and found a corner to wipe her tears.
The old lady Zhan didn't stand for long, she didn't want to announce that Yu Feng also followed, the old lady saw the figure of the eldest daughter clearly in the hazy eyes of tears, and thought that she was here to comfort herself, and was about to open her mouth to tell her not to worry, she didn't want to announce that Feng walked to her side, so she whimpered and cried first: "Why was Xinzhang so confused in the first place? Knowing that Mizhen and Qiao Er had no blood relationship, she insisted on taking him back as a son, not only getting along with Qiao Er day and night, but also telling Qiao Er to be close to him all day long...... Now it's okay, the heir he is counting on, whether Yuan'er can achieve it in the future is unknown, but Qiao'er is married so far, we are here at this time, and it's okay;
"On a good day, what do you say that you can't say, do you have to say these piercing words?" Mrs. Zhan could have calmed down by crying twice, and when she heard this, she imagined her own simple and coaxing nature, and if she met someone with a bad heart, she might not be calculated, and she couldn't even notice it, and she couldn't help but feel sad and cry even more!
While crying, he complained about Xuan Yu Feng, "If you want to say that it's not you, I didn't approve of this family business at the beginning, but you said that Mizhen is good...... Now you remind me that my heart and liver are married far away!"
Their mother and daughter are crying here, Mrs. Ming over there is not Sheng Weiqiao's grandmother after all, although she also loves this granddaughter who has grown up, she doesn't love her to the point that she doesn't want to let her out of the cabinet, so although she feels reluctant, she can still stand it.
At this time, Nan's came, she actually arrived a long time ago, looked in front of the boudoir, and saw that the ladies and relatives of the Sheng family were crowded in to watch Sheng Weiqiao dress, so she didn't enter the door, but turned to the banquet to take a hand.
Seeing Sheng Weiqiao's brilliance, he praised him, but he had to make a few jokes, because there were a lot of young girls who came to congratulate Sheng Weiqiao today, and Nan didn't want to disturb the interest of the juniors, so he quietly turned the topic to Huan Yehe after a little laughing, and let a group of girls of their age chatter.
After getting rid of himself, Nan looked around, and saw that Mrs. Ming was there, so he walked over and said, "I just took a look at the banquet, and it is all complete, do you want to go over and check it again? ”
Mrs. Ming was stunned when she heard this, because of her poor ability to be in charge, since Sheng Lan resigned, she didn't worry about everything, and concentrated on being an old lady who eats and drinks well. This time Sheng Wei Qiao got married, Sheng Lanci attached great importance to it, knowing that her stepmother's ability was insufficient, and she was worried that she would not be able to help, and she didn't have anything to do.
And the old lady Ming was also used to this arrangement, so she subconsciously said at this time: "I have to ask the in-laws and the old lady of the Xuanyu family." ”
When she said this, Mrs. Ming found out that Mrs. Zhan and Xuan Yu Feng were not there, so she was surprised, "Could it be that they have already passed?"
Fortunately, she didn't pay attention to the departure of the mother and daughter, but a little maid next to her saw it and came out and said, "The two old ladies seem to be reluctant to give up the county lord and go out to talk." ”
Mrs. Ming and Nan went out, and the process of finding Mrs. Zhan and Xuanyu Feng went smoothly, but looking at the mother and daughter who were hugging their heads and crying, Nan couldn't help crying and laughing: "Two, today is a good day for Qiao'er, even if you are reluctant, this ...... I'm just crying like this, I'm afraid I'm going to be misunderstood!"
Mrs. Ming was a little embarrassed: People are reluctant to be grandmothers and aunts, and according to the relationship, they should be more distressed as grandmothers.
The old lady simply Zhan and Xuan Yu Feng heard Nan's talk about the banquet, and both reacted and said, "We planned to take a look at Qiao Er, so we went to check the banquet, but we didn't expect to look at it and didn't leave, but fortunately, Mrs. Nan, you came over." ”
They were in a hurry to check, so as not to make mistakes in Sheng Weiqiao's wedding banquet, although Nan had already seen it a little, but because the wedding was not hosted by her, she was not very clear about the details, so she naturally followed at this time.
In order to show her concern for Sheng Weiqiao, Mrs. Ming said: "I'll also go and see, Qiao'er's good life, don't allow the people below to be negligent!"
In the end, the matter is obscured.
The group went to the front to inspect the banquet, and the number of guests began to increase one after another, and soon they were entangled and could not get out.
Xuan Yu Feng welcomed the two ladies in, and listened to the sound of firecrackers and bells and drums in front of him, followed by the sound of the servants arriving at the door with laughter, knowing that it was Rong Sleeping Crane who came to greet him, and was about to go inside, and said with a smile: "Let's go and see how the king of the county passed the test, right?"
