A comb to the end;

second comb, the aunt and the girl have white hair and eyebrows;

Three combs, the girl's children and grandchildren are all over the ground;

Four-comb ......

I sat on the chair and watched Xi Po holding a wooden comb, pulling Yang Jinyao's long black and shiny hair in her hand, combing it over and over again, and chanting one by one, the sound of gongs and drums outside, the sound of suona, coupled with the laughter of those welcoming guests, has become a sea of joy.

In front of him, there is an elegant and festive boudoir, on the door, on the window, there are big red happy words pasted everywhere, all the curtains, drapery has also been replaced with red, and Yang Jinyao is sitting in front of the dresser at the moment, slowly combing her hair.

She was dressed in bright red, and her cheeks were crimson, and she was dressed up early in the morning, and her face was painted with delicate makeup. Although she is already very beautiful on weekdays, but today most of them are different, a face is snow-white and pink, with red glow flying on her cheeks, and her lips are thinly outlined, painted red and ruddy, like a ripe cherry, which makes people can't help but want to pick it at first sight.

It was rare for her to sit so quietly today, and I saw her face reflected in the bronze mirror, and I couldn't close my mouth with a smile.

Mrs. Yuerong watched from the side, angry and laughing: "How can a girl get married and laugh like this!"

I couldn't help but laugh too.

That's right, today is her marriage.

After she came to deliver the wedding card that day, I promised her, because her sister had already entered the palace and could not send her, so I had to go to her home as a family member to send her to marry, so I participated in many ceremonies of today's marriage, and now the bride is wearing new makeup, and I am naturally accompanying her in the boudoir.

……

Nine combs, nine sub-chains;

Ten combs, and the husband and wife will be white-headed.

At this time, the ten-comb song had been sung, and her long black hair finally completed the final ritual in Xi Po's hands, coiling into a simple but delicate bun, and putting makeup on her hair bun with all kinds of beaded hairpins, Yang Jinyao looked at herself in the mirror with a completely new look, and suddenly smiled so much that the roots of her teeth on both sides were seen, and her eyes were bent into two slits.

At this time, Mrs. Yuerong finally couldn't hold it back, and stepped forward and said, "My little ancestor, what kind of girl is like you, marrying someone and laughing like this!"

Yang Jinyao blinked: "Do you want me to cry?"

Mrs. Yuerong was anxious: "You-"

Seeing that the girl was innocent and didn't know how to be polite, I smiled and went up to support Mrs. Yuerong's arm: "Madam, it's okay, anyway, today Jin Yao is finally going to marry the person she likes, she is happy, so she naturally wants to laugh." ”

As soon as he heard my words, Jin Yao's face couldn't hold back, and he immediately said, "What, what kind of person? I'm not happy!"

That being said, it is clear that the joy that cannot be concealed is the twinkle in his eyes.

I was also happy, and looked down at her: "What, Lord Wu is not your intended person?"

She snorted coldly with her nose: "That old man." ”

"Oh, then I said I was going to beat that old man that day, who was protecting him?"

As soon as she heard me say this, Yang Jinyao was also stunned for a moment, and her face suddenly turned red, she couldn't even hide her rouge, and stretched out her hand to cover her face: "Ah! Sister Yan, don't say it!"

Seeing her like this, Mrs. Yuerong and I, as well as a few of the girls who served in the room, all laughed.

|

Speaking of which, her marriage is also a recent happy event, so I was invited by her to come to Yang's house to make plans for her to send her relatives. On that day, we proposed various methods to try to do this happy event properly, Yang Jinyao also took the opportunity to ask her parents for this, Yang Wanyun was also obedient to this daughter, and the things to marry were loaded with more than a dozen cars just by loading them.

In the end, Yang Wanyun smiled helplessly: "It's really an outgoing girl, she hasn't married yet, so she wants to help her husband ask for things." ”

Yang Jinyao immediately said: "What! is my daughter asking for it, my daughter is going to make her own private money, so that her daughter will not be afraid of being bullied by him in the future!"

Everyone was amused by her words.

Her two brothers pointed at her and smiled, "With your temper, who can bully you." ”

Yang Jinyao pouted: "That old man, it's hard to say, he loves to bully people." ”

Hearing her say this, I thought about it, and then stepped forward and said, "Jin Yao, if that's the case, then when he greets him, will we give him a dismount?"

"Dismount?" she looked at me, "What dismount?"

I smiled, turned my head and smiled at Mrs. Yuerong again: "Madam, when the groom official came to greet him, the palace called ten strong maids, holding wooden sticks, wrapped in red handkerchiefs, and when the groom official came, they beat him with sticks!"

When Mrs. Yuerong heard this, she startled me: "Ah, hit him?"

Not only her, but even Yang Jinyao's was frightened and looked at me with wide eyes.

However, Yang Wanyun was well-informed, and immediately said: "Oh, what Miss Yan said is a son-in-law, right?"

I smiled and said, "Yes, it's my son-in-law." Lord Yang, this is the time when my daughter's family is majestic. As the saying goes, a son-in-law is a woman's dog, and he kills without words. Since Miss Jin Yao is afraid of being bullied by that 'old man' when she marries in the past, it is better for us to strike first, beat him, let him know that he is powerful, and we will not be afraid that he will dare to bully Miss Jin Yao in the future. ”

As soon as I finished speaking, Yang Jinyao hugged my hands, and her face turned white: "No, no, no! ”

"Why can't you hit him?"

"This, for a happy event, how can there be a beating?"

"People used to do that, and this is one of the six rites. ”

"That's not going to work either!"

"Why not?"

"He, he's so thin, he's old, isn't it going to break him with such a stick?

I didn't speak for a while, I just looked at her with a smile, this girl was still anxious at first, anxious, and found that my whole body was trembling with a smile, and then I looked around, but saw Yang Wanyun shaking her head with a smile, Mrs. Yuerong and her two brothers also covered their mouths and laughed, and immediately came back to their senses, hurriedly covered their faces with their hands, and shouted in shame: "Ah!"

The way she looked that day was exactly the same as now, when she was holding her face and looking shy.

Everyone laughed for a long time, watching the time pass little by little, the auspicious time is coming, I will no longer tease her, dress her up, put on a phoenix crown, and she will be ready.

At this time, there was a lively sound of gongs and drums outside, and firecrackers crackled.

A little girl came in to inform Mrs. Yuerong that the groom had come to pick up the bride.

Yang Jinyao stood up suddenly, the bead curtain in front of the phoenix crown swayed and crackled, seeing that she was about to rush out, Mrs. Yuerong hurriedly pulled her: "Little ancestor, how can you go out like this, and there is a hijab!"

When she heard this, she stopped again, and several girls held back a smile and took out a hijab to cover her.

When the side was closed, Yang Jinyao opened the bead curtain in front of the phoenix crown and looked at me with wide eyes: "Sister Yan, you will go to the Wu family later, you will always accompany me, right?"

I laughed, "Of course." ”

She pursed her lips and laughed, and the hijab fell.

As soon as the time came, several of her dowry maids helped her to walk out slowly, the entire Yang Mansion was jubilant today, and the guests outside had already crowded the hall, and when the bride walked out, at the gate, firecrackers and gongs and drums rang out, everyone made a fuss, and the people on both sides came to see the excitement on the street, and Wu Yanqiu, wearing a big red robe, riding a high-headed horse was waiting at the door.

As soon as he saw us go out, he rolled over and dismounted, and walked in.

Although he is also smiling, his smile is not so bright compared to the almost blooming smiling faces of the people around him, but, after all, his identity is different, such an important minister, no matter what time he wants, he has to take some money.

It is also because of this that the section of "son-in-law" that I jokingly mentioned before was not really adopted, after Wu Yanqiu came to the door, the bridesmaids of the Yang family were also polite, and after receiving the poems, there was no more embarrassment, Wu Yanqiu served tea to her father-in-law and mother-in-law, and took the bride out by the way.

I have been accompanying Yang Jinyao to the sedan chair, and when I turned around, I saw Yang Wanyun and Mrs. Yuerong standing in the center of the hall.

I looked back at Wu Yanqiu, who had already turned and mounted his horse, and lowered his head to meet my gaze.

He nodded slightly.

I smiled too.

Then, the procession beat gongs and drums, turned and walked to the other side of the street.

I was entrusted by the Yang family, naturally I want to follow, Wu Yanqiu They also specially prepared a carriage for me, and went around another path to the Wu family first, as soon as I arrived, the Wu Mansion was already jubilant, and it was more lively here than the Yang Mansion, all the guests who came to congratulate me, more or less, I knew some, they were all important ministers in the court.

As soon as I entered the gate, I saw the burly, gray-haired old man in front of me.

Taishi often said cypress.

Wu Yanqiu lost his father when he was a child, and later lost his mother, and Taishi was his mentor, so on such days, it was natural to attend as his high hall.

I walked in slowly.

Since I met Pei Yuanhao in Taimiao, I didn't have to hide my whereabouts, and appeared in front of all the guests openly, and those guests looked at me with a stunned look on their faces, but they didn't say anything, just looked at me.

I slowly walked up to Chang Yanbai and saluted with a smile: "Master Taishi." ”

"Miss Yan. ”

He also looked at me, those bright eyes were still like bright lights, looked at me and said, "The old man didn't expect to see Miss Yan again in the capital." ”

I smiled: "I didn't think about the Taishi's greeting, it was my rudeness." ”

As the saying goes, "What about faux pas, Miss Yan gave the old man a big gift." ”
