Chapter 367: The Wedding Feast
After breakfast on the second day, Chen Afu began to prepare.
In this dynasty, when the newlyweds got married, the noon feast was eaten at the bride's house, and the groom's house was dinner. Some of the guests did not go to the groom's house until the evening, and the groom also took the bride into the husband's house at the end of the morning.
Because Chu Lingxuan and Chen Afu have a special relationship with the Fu family, they will go to the party earlier. In the morning, I watched the dowry, ate at noon, watched the church in the next morning, watched the bride, and ate the wedding banquet in the evening, and the day was full of arrangements.
Chen Afu doesn't like to be in the limelight, and he doesn't like to make friends with any noble ladies. But when she became Chu Lingxuan's wife, she had to integrate into that circle, even if she didn't like it. She knew that many people in aristocratic circles liked to talk about her dual identity as an "illegitimate daughter" and a "country girl", and this was her first time participating in a social event publicly, and she had to dress up beautifully and gag those people's mouths.
can see the round face and big belly in the mirror, and the "beautiful and refined" she wants most is impossible.
At this time, you can't wear long gowns and short undergarments, which will make your belly bigger and fatter. She picked through the cupboard for a while, still wearing the dress she had prepared yesterday.
Smoky pink makeup satin cardigan, the length is just below the belly, and the big red jacquard long skirt. and put on a translucent light concubine-colored silk scarf, which can cover the stomach.
The big tired gold silk flying phoenix inlaid bead hairpin is worn in the middle of the head, and a jade begonia bead flower is inserted on both sides of the small step, and a jade inlaid forehead is also worn, and a pair of jade bracelets with green water on the wrist.
This time, the makeup has to cater to the aesthetics of this era, and it is too strong.
Although this body was only seventeen years old, it appeared to be a little more mature than its actual age because it was pregnant. She is already picturesque, so dressed, extravagant and not cumbersome, as gorgeous as a begonia flower placed in the spring sun.
The dress has been smoked with green leaves and agarwood overnight, and the fragrance is faint, beautiful and long. It's late summer, but it's still hot. This aroma surrounds you and makes it even more refreshing.
At the same time, today is also the time to "correct the name" of Miss Chu. Chu Hanyan, the eldest daughter of Chu Lingxuan, the son of the Marquis of Yong'an, is smart, gentle and quiet, and lovable, not the "" in other people's mouths.
Her clothes, Song's mother took them to the main courtyard for her to wear.
The little girl wore a light concubine-colored carved silk collared short undergarment, a long skirt with a large swing in water blue soft satin, a belt tied around her chest, and a large concubine-colored bow. Only a few green calyx plums are embroidered on the neckline and cuffs, and the style is simple, chic, and good-looking.
Then, he gave her a small bag of wishful rabbits. The whole bag is a rabbit head, long ears, round eyes, a vermilion three-petal mouth, and a bow on one ear. The bag contained a few pieces of candy and a handkerchief.
This is a series of dolls and bags designed by Chen Afu for the Neon Fashion Embroidery Workshop, which not only decorates the little girl, but also allows the little girl to advertise in the upper class.
A small jade fan-shaped hairpin and a few small bead flowers were inserted on the head of the bag.
In the end, Chen Afu put a little rouge on the little girl's eyebrows.
The little girl who was dressed up looked in the mirror, and she was so beautiful. Biting her lip again, Nuo Nuo asked, "Mother, did my sister bite her lip, and her lips are as red as rubbing rouge?" ”
The little girl who loves beauty wants to rub the rouge, but her mother won't let her do it. She seemed to have heard a girl say that if she bit her lip, her lips would be red, so she wanted to bite her lip.
Chen Afu smiled, "Ah, my daughter knows that Aimei." Biting your lips can indeed make your lips redder, but it's best not to bite, it's easy to bite your lips, and biting your mouth doesn't look good. If someone else sees it, how ugly it is. Yan'er is very, very beautiful now, and she doesn't need to make her lips red anymore. ”
When the little girl heard this, she didn't think about her lips.
Chu Lingxuan was very satisfied when he saw such a mother and daughter.
At that time, Chu Lingxuan, Chen Afu, and Chu Hanyan set off.
Xiao Li Xuan took the animal house to go boating in the lake, so no one took the road. Dabao knew that they were going to have a wedding banquet today, but he knew that studying was more important than eating a wedding banquet, so even if he wanted to go very much, he didn't ask for it.
When he arrived at the General Soldier's Mansion, Chu Lingxuan took the long entourage with gifts to the front gate and went to the front yard, while Chen Afu's mother and daughter and other female dependents entered the corner gate and went to the inner courtyard in a sedan chair.
They were led directly to the flower hall, and Mrs. Fu was leading her eldest daughter-in-law, Grandma Fu, to greet the guests.
Chen Afu's mother and daughter walked in, they couldn't be eye-catching, they were too eye-catching. Many stopped talking and looked at them.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Fu family greeted her with a smile, and Mrs. Fu smiled and said, "Ouch, Mrs. Chu is so blessed that she became pregnant with twins at once." ”
A lady in her thirties came over and joked, "It's still Mrs. Fu, the matchmaker, who is doing a good job." He smiled at Chen Afu again, "Mrs. Chu doesn't know me yet, my surname is Qin, and my name is Qin Jian." "Chen Afu has heard of Qin Jian, who is the leader of the city gate of Sipin, and has an excellent relationship with Chu Lingxuan, and it is a lifelong friendship.
Chen Afu hurriedly smiled, "It turned out to be Mrs. Qin, I often hear my uncle talk about General Qin. ”
When Mrs. Qin heard this, her smile deepened.
Then, several women really praised Chu Hanyan again.
Chu Hanyan was a little scared, but with her mother by her side, she still saluted the elders very politely.
Chen Afu was helped by Grandma Fu to greet Mrs. Fu, who was seated, Mrs. Fu smiled and asked Chen Afu to sit down, and called the little girl Chu who had been pulling Chen Afu to her side and gave her a meeting gift.
Those who can sit next to Mrs. Fu are all older or higher-status ladies. Chen Afu is not very old, but she is the wife of Yong'an Hou Shizi and the wife of General Sanpin, and her status here is not the highest, but it is not low, and she is pregnant, so she also has her seat.
Grandma Fu helped her introduce the lady here. There are the wives of the commanders and the vice-generals who came from the capital, and the wives of the chief soldiers and the wives of the generals who came from the provincial capital, etc., which are the military generals' families. There are also Mrs. Yin of Shuntian Mansion from the capital, Mrs. Yanyunshi from the provincial capital, Mrs. Shizhou Prefect, etc., these are the families of civil officials.
Nowadays, in ancient times, unlike in the previous life, there were cars, and it took more than an hour to reach two or three hundred miles. It takes a day's boat or a carriage for nearly two days here, and so many ladies can come from afar, which shows how big the face of the Fu family is.
They are all elders, at least in their thirties and forties, and even two in their fifties. Chen Afu is the youngest and the youngest, and they all got up and blessed them.
These people also include Mrs. He, the wife of Deputy General He, and the Jiang family.
People like Mrs. Qin, who are not too old and whose male grade is not high, will sit on the side or in the side room very interestingly.
