35. Night in the cave room: Pick up the second master
Staring at Jia Lian for a moment, seeing that his expression was solemn and not fake, Wang Ziteng decided to believe his words, let go of his hand and patted Jia Lian's shoulder, all without saying a word.
After Jia Lian turned over and got on the horse with a beautiful move, and arched his hand at the guests, Xifeng's sedan chair finally left the palace and went to Rongguo Mansion. The eighty dowries that the Lin family prepared for Xifeng were also lifted one after another, and slowly came out of the gate of the palace, and there were also relatives and friends who added boxes to Xifeng and lifted them again, a total of eighty-eight dowries. These include Shanghao Tianchang, Zhuangzi, Hot Spring Zhuangzi, the best shops on Suzaku Street, all kinds of jewelry and jade, toy ornaments, antique vases, books, calligraphy and paintings, jewelry, all kinds of fine leather goods, spices, etc., but everything that Lin could think of was listed in the dowry list for Xifeng.
However, when the Lin family bought her dowry, he never revealed any details to her, because Yixi Feng didn't even know how much her dowry had so far, and it was not until she put on her makeup that the Lin family put it in a rosewood box and wrote other things together and pressed it into the bottom of the box, telling her to look at it after the ceremony was completed.
Xifeng's ears were filled with the festive gongs, drums, and suona sounds of the welcoming band at this time, and thanks to her excellent hearing, she could faintly hear the hooves of the black horse in front of the sedan chair. Two lives, married for the first time, Xifeng's heart is quite uneasy.
Thinking back to today's situation for a while, while being surprised by the tediousness of the wedding here, I also felt that this qiē seemed to be in a dream, which seemed to be very unreal. After a while, I thought about it again, turned around and lifted the hijab to see what Jia Lian wanted to say to him, and she thought about several plans in her heart, and she was immediately overturned by herself, as if it was not appropriate to say anything in the first sentence.
Xifeng's mood was bumping up and down with the slight swing of the sedan chair at this time, and Jia Lian on the horse in front of him was not much better. He got married, married a special girl he liked, and he was looking forward to his future life. Jia Lian felt that he should be happy, in fact, until last night, he was in a good mood, as sweet as eating honey. But last night, for some reason, I couldn't fall asleep after tossing and turning. It is said that he didn't sleep well at night, and he shouldn't have much energy today, but he was as excited as if he had been beaten with chicken blood, and his heart was beating vigorously and quickly with the uncontrollable "poof, poof".
Jia Lian really couldn't figure out why his heart was beating so fast, especially after seeing Xifeng with a covered head being picked up by Wang You, and now that Xifeng was in the sedan chair behind him, he couldn't even control himself from turning his head back to stare at the sedan chair. Obviously, after returning home, he went to the church, and then entered the happy room to pick up the hijab, and he could see Xifeng in just an hour, but he seemed to be in a hurry. Jia Lian secretly scolded himself in his heart for being unproductive, but it had no effect, he just wanted to turn his head back and take a look.
On the way from the palace to the Rong mansion, he tried to keep his expression as usual. But when he got off the horse and saw Zhong Qi and Xiao Yang and a group of brothers and guests of the prince's guard greeting him at the gate of the mansion, he could no longer control the corners of his flying mouth, and almost grinned to the back of his ears.
Jia Lian suddenly wanted to shout at the gate of Rongguo Mansion: I am marrying a daughter-in-law!
Zhong Qi hugged his arm and pounded Xiao Yang, and raised his eyebrows: "Didn't you say that you just married a daughter-in-law, is this kid stupid?" ”
Xiao Yang looked at Jia Lian and shook his head slightly: "It's hard to say, I've never seen him like this." Shall we block the wine for him later, or pour him in? ”
"Look at his rippling little style, get angry, pour him!" As soon as Zhong Qi spoke, the brothers of the guard team were all gearing up and had made up their minds to get Jia Lian drunk and disturb his wedding night.
Jia Lian didn't know the dark thoughts of his brothers, but when he saw Xiao Yang shaking his head slightly, he finally knew that he had to restrain his expression, and the provincial cousin was too undignified to disgrace the prince. When he arrived at the main gate of Rongguo Mansion, Jia Lian wanted to dismount, but Xifeng's wedding sedan chair did not have to stop. All the way, Jia Lian, who couldn't help but be like a guest, entered from the main gate and went all the way to the middle of the courtyard of Rongxi Hall. The eighty-eight dowry should have stayed in the main courtyard of Rongxi Hall for a while, and then carried it to the courtyard of Xifeng and Jia Lian. But Rongxi Hall can't be placed, so it can only start with the first dowry, show your face in Rongxi Hall, and then turn around and go out from the Moon Gate on the east side of the courtyard and send it directly to Xifeng Courtyard, and put it next to each other.
Let's say that after the sedan chair stopped in the courtyard, Xifeng's heart also jumped a few times.
And when Jia Lian handed him the red silk to the bride, his hands that would not show any mercy in the fight actually trembled slightly, seeing the bride open the sedan curtain, Jia Lian only felt that he had never been so unproductive as now, and his eyes were staring at the woman in the wedding dress without blinking. This dress is so beautiful, he has never seen anyone else wear it, just like the girl in this wedding dress, it is very different from others.
When Jia Lian recalled the situation when he owed Xifeng to walk into Rongxi Hall to worship, he didn't seem to be able to remember anything else except that he was standing in the wrong position. It seems that he just mechanically listened to the hints of the bride, and completed those actions step by step, as for what was going on in his head at that time, he no longer remembered.
When worshipping in the church, the woman should stand at the top and the man should stand at the bottom; Because a woman can only stand on the head of her husband on the day she gets married in her life, she will take her husband as the sky in the future; But when worshipping heaven and earth, Jia Lian stood in Xifeng's position! This is a shame for adults, the sons of the family have their grandmothers to talk about the rules in advance, Jia Lian has already known those rules by heart, but at this time he made a mistake, which really shouldn't be.
Xiao Yang, who was watching the ceremony, couldn't help but shake his head: "Stupid, stupid, this kid is really stupid." ”
Zhong Qi shook his head thoughtfully with his arms crossed, and said in a low voice: "I don't think so, I heard that many things are auspicious on the day of marriage." He was in the wrong position, and he was afraid that he would be able to overpower his daughter-in-law one day in his life. The bride's uncle, Lord Wang is notoriously afraid of guilt, and I always feel that this kid is in the wrong position, and I am afraid that he will be the same ......as Lord Wang in the future."
"How can it...... This kid fights and shoots so ruthlessly...... "Xiao Yang didn't believe it.
"Hundreds of refined steel can also become finger-twisting, you are really brainless. Lord Wang usually looks at him so vigorously and resolutely, isn't he still eaten to death by his Mrs. Lin? The bride was brought up by Mrs. Lin, can she learn the skills of the husband? This kid was happy to be like that bear before, but I was afraid that my husband would not be upset~" Zhong Qi was very disdainful of Jia Lian.
Jia Lian and Xifeng had already worshiped each other as husband and wife, and then were led by the bride in front, Jia Lian pulled the red silk and led Xifeng to their yard. The male guests stopped and prepared to have a banquet to eat, while Li Kun, You Shi and others followed behind with some female dependents to Jia Lian and Xifeng's courtyard.
When they arrived at the courtyard of the newlyweds, Li Kun and others stopped in the outhouse, and when Jia Lian led Xifeng in, the two sat on the edge of the bed, and a few brides came in with a tray, saying auspicious words in their mouths and asking Jia Lian to pick off the bride's hijab with a happy name.
Jia Lian got up, stood facing Xifeng, and took a deep breath before picking up the joy and slowly picking off Xifeng's hijab.
"Huh?" Jia Lian was a little strange, why didn't Xifeng tie a gauze strap on his eyes? Isn't his daughter-in-law not very good-eyed? Every time I saw her before, I was wearing a Wangxi veil! But on closer inspection, his daughter-in-law is really beautiful and changeable, sometimes heroic and sometimes demure like a flower.
Xifeng raised her head slightly, but she didn't expect Jia Lian to stare at her in a daze, and two blushes gradually spread from her cheeks to her neck. Xifeng's mind was blank, and he was even more nervous, his hands clenched slightly, and he was a little overwhelmed.
Fortunately, Xi Niang hurriedly came over with a tray and said a set of auspicious words, inviting Xifeng and Jia Lian to drink wine, which finally temporarily broke the delicate atmosphere between the two.
But this combination of wine also has a saying. The first sip can only be half drunk, and then the bride takes it and pours the rest of the wine into a wine glass, mixes it and then pours it into another wine glass, and has to exchange wine glasses for the newlyweds to drink this half.
This way of drinking with a kiss was more thought-provoking than the way she had seen a newcomer crossing her arms in her previous life, and the crimson on Xifeng's face, which had finally faded a little, gradually climbed up again.
After that, Jia Lian's brother will make trouble in the cave room. However, Mrs. Wang was waiting for Jia Lian to leave and came in to talk, Jia Zhu was thin-faced, and when she entered the new room, she only said a word of joy, and then pulled Jia Lian outside to toast the guests.
Jia Lian glanced at Xifeng again, smiled at her, and then followed Jia Zhu out.
As soon as Jia Lian left, Li Kun, You Shi and others all came in and stood in the room to talk to Xifeng.
A mother-in-law sent by Mrs. Jia hurriedly introduced to Xifeng with a smile: "This is Grandma Zhu, this is Grandma Zhen, this is the second girl, the third girl......"
Xifeng got up and greeted each other one by one, and Li Kun hurriedly helped Xifeng get up: "I've been looking forward to you getting married for a long time, I have more than one person to talk to." ”
You Shi looked at Xifeng and saw that her wedding dress was very beautiful, embroidered with symmetrical peacock peonies embroidered on the left and right, she had never seen this peacock peony pattern, and couldn't help asking: "My sister is not only beautiful, but even her wedding dress is different from others." I've never seen this pattern, did I ask the embroidery lady in the palace to do it? ”
Xifeng replied with a smile: "This is a picture that my mother's aunt specially drew for me." ”
"I have long heard that you are very favored in your mother's house, but I never expected that Mrs. Lin would even draw a picture of your wedding dress herself, it is so beautiful." You Shi was very envious in his heart, and his eyes couldn't help but look at Xifeng's wedding dress.
Li Kun interjected with a smile: "Okay, okay, let's be happy, the bride has also seen it, now go out to help the wife and the eldest lady greet the guests." After that, he turned to Xifeng: "You haven't eaten for a day, you will use some snacks to pad your stomach first, you are afraid that it will take a long time to drink outside." "After that, Li Kun, You Shi and the others all went out.
As soon as they left, Qing'er, Cui'er, Xi'er, and Ping'er hurriedly came in to serve.
"Mama Qian, why didn't you come in?" Mama Qian is the most powerful person around Xifeng, she manages her several big girls, and she has always been meticulous and meticulous, Xifeng got married, and Mama Qian's family and the rest of the Guo and Ji families were also assigned to Xifeng as a dowry by the Lin family, all of whom were carefully selected by the Lin family.
Qing'er squatted: "Mama Qian is outside watching the little girl move grandma's dowry to the warehouse." Let the slave ask grandma, will you go through the dowry list yourself tomorrow? "Grandma", Xifeng is really not used to hearing these two words, and she will be the second grandmother of Rongfu in the future.
Xifeng pressed the awkwardness in her heart and nodded: "Just do what Mama said." ”
"Grandma also said that when Grandma has changed her clothes, please take out the booklet at the bottom of the box that Mrs. gave you before." Qing'er said again.
Xifeng was a little strange, but he still arranged it: "Ping'er, you go outside and find the booklet and the box that my aunt stuffed at the bottom of the box before." Ping'er answered and hurried to the outer room, where a dowry was specially carried into the house, and was not placed in the courtyard with others. The dowry is filled with all kinds of clothes and matching jewelry prepared by the Lin family for Xifeng, all of which will be used in the past month: to be changed on the wedding day, to be worn for tea, to be worn when returning to the door, to be worn in autumn, to go out to relatives, and to practice martial arts in the morning and evening. There is also a single baggage, which is filled with embroidery made by Xi'er with a maid for Xifeng to give to her husband and honor her elders.
After Ping'er went out, Xifeng rubbed her neck that was sore by the phoenix crown hairpin ring on her head and the high cloud bun, and asked Qing'er Cui'er to quickly remove the complicated hair bun and phoenix crown jewelry for her, comb a simple single screw bun, and don't need too much jewelry to decorate, only a horizontal branch to shake. Xi'er hurriedly went outside to find out the clothes and jewelry that Lin had prepared for Xifeng tonight with Ping'er, and held them in.
Xifeng cleaned her face again and then asked Cui'er to put on a light makeup for her, and then began to change her clothes. Xi'er hurriedly leaned over and smiled: "How else to say that Madame loves you, grandma, you see, Madame must have calculated that you don't like complicated jewelry, tonight's dress is deliberately only equipped with three kinds of jewelry, a magpie hairpin with peach blossom jade, a coral pearl step, a ruyi hairpin, oh and matching earrings and bracelets." You said that you wanted to shake it, and the slave maid brought this coral pearl step, pearl earrings, and coral bracelets. Xifeng nodded, and several maids hurriedly served her and put them on.
The head was finally much lighter, and Xifeng breathed a sigh of relief. Ping'er was also busy with her work, and came in with the box and a booklet wrapped in red silk. Qing'er hurriedly poured tea, and Cui'er went to get some snacks that Xifeng loved to eat. Xifeng sat in front of the dresser, looked at the box first, and saw that it was a dowry list, so he asked Qing'er to put it away for the time being and look at it tomorrow.
Taking the booklet wrapped in red silk again, Xifeng knew that this was the booklet that Mama Qian said, and in the morning she saw Lin smiling mysteriously and stuffing this thing into the dowry box. Opening the red silk, Xifeng found that the quality of this booklet was very good, the paper was very good, the cover was very simple, and only four dragons and phoenixes danced in big characters with the title of the book "Twelve Palaces Spring".
Xifeng Nahan: "Why is this name so strange?" The four girls were also a little curious, and just wanted to come up and take a look, but found that Xifeng had just turned the page and closed it suddenly.
After a short period of shock, Xifeng finally understood the true meaning of pressing the bottom of the box, that is, the big rhubarb picture of boundless spring. The painting is realistic but detached from reality, and just looking at it makes people blush. Xifeng hurriedly wrapped it in red silk again, thought about it and felt that it was not appropriate to put it anywhere, so he temporarily stuffed it into the drawer at the bottom of the makeup dress.
With some strange expressions on the four maids, Xi Fengqiang smiled calmly: "You have also been hungry for a day, you can take this plate of dim sum and eat it." The four maids thanked Enduan Biquge www.biquge.info and they all went to the outer room, leaving Xifeng to sit in the inner room.
She suddenly realized a very strict problem, she was willing to marry Jia Lian but was unwilling to have a round house with Jia Lian now. But she has already come to menstruation, and according to the statement here, she is already an adult, and it is not possible to shirk the past in three or two sentences. What to do, Xifeng couldn't help but clench his fists. Don't accept her at this time, she is not yet fifteen, Jia Lian is only sixteen or seventeen years old, in case she wins the bid, it will be troublesome. Xi Feng thought about it, he couldn't let this kind of thing happen now! It's really too early.
Xifeng has developed a problem in the past few years, and whenever he has something on his mind, he wants to go to the martial arts field to play a few tricks. This is no exception. Thinking of this book, Xifeng's eyes suddenly lit up, and he thought of a way.
At this time, Jia Lian, who was toasting outside, didn't know that the daughter-in-law he had just married had already set up a trap for him to drill.
Jia Lian has been very excited today, and everyone in the clan, relatives and friends saw him smiling so much that the corners of their mouths were almost grinning to the back of their heads, and they couldn't help but want to pour him a few more glasses of wine. Fortunately, Zhong Qi still has a conscience, and after he and Xiao Yang poured Jia Lian two glasses of wine to get angry, Jing began to block the wine for him.
Jia Lian was very moved in his heart, and couldn't help but mess with the two: "It is worthy of being my good brother." "Zhong Qi and Xiao Yang's alcohol consumption is the same as that of Wang Ziteng, and they are all masters who are not drunk with a thousand cups. It was Jia Lian who toasted in front, Zhong Qi and Xiao Yang followed him and took turns to drink all the things that Jia Lian should drink for him, and in the end, he could still stay awake and walk without help.
"Brother Lian, go quickly, you can't make the bride wait too long." Zhong Qi drank so much wine and still spoke clearly, not like Xiao Yang, although he was conscious and walked without help, he was reluctant to speak. Jia Lian glanced at the two good brothers gratefully, knowing that even if they drank a lot, they drank too much, so he hurriedly ordered Zhao'er Wang'er to send them back.
When the time came, Jia Zhu came over and said with a smile: "Brother Lian, the wine has been saluted, there are masters, lords and brothers, you can go back quickly." "Every family marries a daughter-in-law is such a process, Jia Lian smiled at everyone, and then turned to leave.
Jia Yu was drinking with Jia Zhen and others, and when he saw that Jia Lian was leaving, he quickly put down the wine glass and walked over quickly, pulled Jia Lian aside and asked softly: "Good son, you can fight for some anger." ”
Jia Lian frowned: "Father, what do you mean by this?" ”
"Tsk, why are you so stupid!" Jia Yu stomped his feet angrily, and was afraid that others would hear it, so he hurriedly lowered his voice and leaned over to Jia Lian's ear: "Hurry up and give me a big fat grandson!" ”
"Hmm......"
"Well, don't go yet! I can't see that it's dark. Jia Yu raised his foot and was about to kick Jia Lian, but Jia Lian took a quick step and dodged away, shaking Jia Yu to almost fall.
"Hmph stinky boy, master, I won't worry about you for the time being, if you don't give birth to a grandson soon, let's settle the score." Jia Yu looked at Jia Lian's departing back, and happily returned to the table and went to drink.
Jia Lian returned to the happy room all the way, the room was hung with red silk, and the candlelight was red, and Jia Lian's heart couldn't help but feel hot.
As soon as Qing'er, Cui'er, Xi'er, and Ping'er saw him coming, they all retreated, and only Xifeng and Jia Lian were left in the house. Jia Lian couldn't see anything else in his eyes, only Xifeng, who was dressed in red clothes and combed with a homely single screw.
Xifeng didn't look up when he heard the footsteps, and only when he saw a pair of dark boots appear in front of him did he slowly look up at Jia Lian, and saw that he was looking at himself intently, so he quickly lowered his head again.
Jia Lian felt as if his heart was trembling, and sat down next to Xifeng, a little hesitant whether to put his hand on Xifeng's slender jade hand.
There was a dragon and phoenix candle burning in the room, Jia Lian looked sideways at Xifeng's side eyes, and the more he looked at it, the more he felt love, especially the silhouette of the long eyelashes reflected by the candlelight, and every time Xifeng blinked, he knocked on his heart. The knock made him feel so bad that he couldn't help but want to reach over and touch her eyebrows.
As soon as his hand was raised, he was put down by Jia Lian again, it was too abrupt, he should have said something first.
"Are you hungry, let someone go to the kitchen to get you some food? What do you like to eat? Jia Lian spoke softly, trying to make himself softer and calmer. God knows his heart is about to jump out of his chest at this time, okay?
Xifeng still lowered his head slightly, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly: "I just used some snacks, I'm not hungry, Second Master Xie cares." ”
Xifeng's voice was not very beautiful, but it was extremely comfortable to listen to in Jia Lian's ears, and it seemed that his restless heart had also been soothed, and he actually felt a little sweet. Jia Lian was bold enough to get closer, and said softly: "Don't call me Second Master, those little women just call me Second Master." Feng'er will call me master in the future. ”
Xifeng looked at Jia Lian with a smile in his eyes: "Master." ”
Jia Lian only felt that the whole person was indescribably comfortable from the inside to the outside from top to bottom, and he had the courage to hold Xifeng's hand, leaned into Xifeng's ear and whispered: "It's good for the master to call you Feng'er in the future." ”
Xifeng only felt that her ears were itchy, and she knew that Jia Lian was breaking her guard step by step, she originally wanted to pull out her hand from the hand held by Jia Lian, but his palm was very warm, with a slight layer of sweat, and a thin layer of calluses, which made Xifeng feel very strange, and she forgot to pull her hand for a while.
"Feng'er?" Jia Lian saw that she didn't reply, so he called again.
Xifeng looked up at his good-looking eyes and smiled: "Do you remember the chance encounter at the door of the weapon shop last year?" ”
"Of course I remember," Jia Lian put Xifeng's other hand in his hand: "I saw you holding a sword that day, but what swordsmanship did you learn?" ”
"Feng'er is just learning a few tricks at home, and she can't compare with you." Xifeng said with a smile: "I heard my uncle say that my master's kung fu is very good, I can't touch you at the door of the weapon shop that day, and Feng'er also thinks you are very powerful." Xifeng took a bite of your word and the word Ye, and carried Jia Lian away.
Jia Lian smiled even more happily: "It's okay, it's not particularly powerful." "There are many people who are better than him, but there are no teenagers his age who are better than him.
"Master is so powerful, can you let Feng'er ask for two tricks?" Xifeng was still smiling.
Jia Lian didn't know what Xifeng's kung fu was, so he patted her hand: "The master didn't shoot lightly or heavily, I'm afraid of hurting you." ”
"Ye is afraid of losing to Feng'er~" Xifeng said narrowly: "Don't worry, even if Feng'er wins you later, I won't say it." ”
Jia Lian suddenly smiled: "Master can not lose you with one hand." ”
Xifeng's eyes lit up suddenly, making Jia Lian unable to take his eyes off it.
"Then what if Feng'er can beat you with one hand? Are there any rewards? ”
"What do you want?" Jia Lian looked at Xifeng and felt that it was very interesting for her to ask for a reward in such a straightforward way.
"Well, let's talk about whether you use a weapon or not," Xifeng paused and seemed a little disappointed: "You are so powerful, Feng'er may not be able to beat it with one hand, not to mention the reward." ”
Jia Lian's fingers slid lightly on the back of Xifeng's hand, and comforted him softly: "How can the master use weapons when he fights with you, what kind of person do you think of the master." ”
"You can't use a hidden weapon either~" Xifeng pursed her lips and looked at Jia Lian expectantly.
"You don't need a hidden weapon." Jia Lian only felt that Xifeng was extremely cute, and he couldn't wait to hold her in his arms immediately.
"The reward that Feng'er wants?"
"Anyway, as long as the master can promise you, it will all depend on you~" Looking at Xifeng's expectant eyes again, Jia Lian changed his mind for a moment and said: "As long as Feng'er says it, the master will depend on you." ”
Xifeng was very happy and stood up directly: "Great, then let's go over." If Feng'er wins, you can bear with it for the time being, and wait until Feng'er is sixteen years old to talk about the round house. ”
Jia Lian was stunned for a moment, he never expected Xifeng to ask for this, and he couldn't help but feel a little angry, didn't Xifeng want to marry him? So ask for this? But looking at the smile in her eyes when she looked at herself, it didn't look like it. Jia Lian's head turned quickly, and he suddenly smiled: "If the master wins, he will eat you today." ”
Xifeng smiled very wantonly: "By the way, master, Feng'er's weapon is called the Silver Frost Sword~" She didn't say she didn't use a sword~
