Chapter 68: Chrysanthemum Wedding
Xiangyun sat in the carriage excitedly, thinking that she would be able to see her mother soon, and see Cai Wei and her friends, she was really happy and excited, although her father died in this earthquake, but she had not been close to her father since she was a child, plus Yan Jingchen's patience and comfort in the past few months, she had come out of the pain of losing her father, and now there was only joy and excitement left in her heart!
"Yo, Surabaya Street has changed so much, it's not the same as before!"
When passing by Surabaya Street, Xiangyun ignored Yan Jingchen's threat, opened the car window, stuck his head out, and a pair of round eyes were rolling in and out, looking at the newly built neat two-story building, bright and large glass windows, and his eyes were almost not enough.
"Retract!"
Wanyan Jingchen heard her voice, turned his head and swept her eyes, and scolded majestically and spoiledly.
"Humph! Shrink and shrink, what's the big deal! β
Xiangyun stuck out his tongue at the man's back and retracted his head stupidly.
opposite side
Zhu column jade brick, in the teahouse of the small building window, the warmth is melting, the tea fragrance is fragrant, the window of the teahouse is a transparent glass window, under the window of a certain elegant room on the second floor, there is an incense burner, the incense silk is curling, but it is the fragrance of medicine.
The emaciated man sat firmly by the fire by the window, looking at the motorcade passing under the window, and his heart was infinitely painful and sad......
He saw her sitting in the car in a gorgeous dress, coquettishly sticking out her tongue to him, she was fatter than before, and she was better looking than before, and her lively little face was full of happiness and satisfaction, and that kind of expression was something she had never had when she was a child by his side.
He also saw Yan Jingchen's angry eyes, which seemed to be angry at her, but those eyes were full of spoiling. They were in love with each other in the street, and they were still in love with each other, even more than ever.
His heart hurt violently, it hurt more than breaking his legs, in this life, he has completely lost her, and there is no hope anymore......
I only hope that I can meet her again in the next life, if there is an afterlife, he will definitely marry her back early, love her well, don't let her suffer a little grievance, and live with her for a lifetime......
In fact, he has long known that he has no hope, since the last time he saw them at the evening market, he knew that he had no hope, otherwise he would not have found a substitute similar to her to love, to relieve the longing and fanaticism in his heart, but he is now disabled, there is no way to give happiness to others, and he is not qualified to love others anymore, so he let go, and even the family wanted to marry him to the person who was rejected by him.
That person was bent on recruiting a son-in-law, and he didn't want to marry him, but now that he is lame again, she must not want to marry him anymore, the twisted melon is not sweet, and he doesn't want to be pestered by others, so he accepted the fate arranged for him by his family.
Originally, he was not the kind of person who could compromise with fate, but when he saw the dozen or so girls that his family had found for him, his heart hurt.
These dozen girls, more or less similar to her, must have been done by the elders with a lot of effort, and he couldn't help but be moved by their hard work for him, and he couldn't bear to refuse.
Before, because of his willfulness, has brought a lot of trouble to the family, grandfather was sick for him, grandmother not only shed many tears for him, but also his father, they traveled thousands of miles for him to Bianzhou, in the north of the water into ice spent a difficult winter, my father was weak, in the bitter cold temperature gave birth to a few serious illnesses, and his mother was worried about him all day long.
These are all his unfilial mistakes, this time, he wants to compromise once, accept the kindness of the elders, and be a child and grandchild who no longer worries the elders!
"Childe, it's time to take the medicine, you should take the medicine first!"
A girl who was nine points similar to Xiangyun poured his decoction from the stove and carefully brought it to him.
"Let's put it first, I'll drink it later!" Mo Zili looked out the window and said lightly.
Outside the window, the team of Xuan He has disappeared, but he is still reluctant to take his eyes back, when he sees her today, I don't know when he will see her next time, maybe, he will never see her again in this life, and if he meets again, he can only wait for the next life......
"But...... Childe, the old lady has instructed you to take medicine on time, and you are weak, it is not suitable to sit by the window for a long time, it is not good if you are blown by the wind! β
The girl persuaded bitterly, her eyes did not leave the handsome face with melancholy and sadness for a moment, and her admiration couldn't help but be revealed!
She was originally the daughter of a poor family, and lived in a remote and barren countryside with her parents and brothers, planting a few acres of thin land, living in a few broken grass houses that could barely shelter from the wind and rain, eating brown rice wotou, wild vegetable soup, and eating grass seeds, wild vegetables and tree bark when the year was bad......
Since childhood, she changed her relatives to a lame bricklayer in a neighboring village, originally said that she would change her relatives after the queen mother's state funeral this year, but she didn't think that one day, a few well-dressed people came to the family, and they were accompanied by the local county lord and the local Lizheng, and those people saw her parents and directly took out five hundred taels of silver to buy her to be a girl in the capital.
My father and mother have worked hard all their lives, and they haven't even saved a tael of silver, and they suddenly have five hundred taels, so that they are simply stunned by this huge happiness.
She is also willing to go into the capital to be a maid, because she doesn't want to marry that lame and ugly country man, especially when she sees the dignified county lord and the usually majestic Li Zheng flattering and servile in front of those people, she is even more sure that the place she wants to go is a good place to go, a paradise that ordinary people can't reach.
So, my father and mother signed a purchase and sale document with the group, and for the five hundred taels of light, my father and mother did not hesitate to press the handprint on the paperwork....
Later, she came to the capital with these people, lived in the heavenly Liguo Mansion, and saw a handsome son who shocked her, and compared that son with the lame bricklayer she married in the countryside, it was a difference between cloud and mud, no, the difference between clouds and shit, so that she only looked at it, and the deer in her heart collided, and she could no longer take her eyes off.
It's a pity that Childe's leg was broken, and it is said that it was injured when the earth dragon turned over, and now he can't even walk.
She was very distressed, how could such a good-looking son, a person like a celestial person, be crippled?
Her fiancΓ© was also lame before, at that time, she only felt disgusted with cripple, but since she saw him, her heart hurt, she wanted to take good care of him, wanted to be by his side, even if she was the most inferior girl, she was also willing!
There were more than a dozen other girls who served him with her, and after they met each other, they were all shocked to find that they were all somewhat similar to each other, making them look like sisters, and they came from all over the Great Jin Kingdom, I really don't know how the Liguo Mansion found them!
However, although their appearances are similar, their backgrounds are different, there are daughters of poor families like her, there are also small families of well-off families, and there is also a young lady from a silk merchant family in a certain place, and even a child daughter-in-law of a middle peasant family, a Qingqi person in the Qinglou......
Everyone comes from different backgrounds, but the role of coming here is the same, they are all here to accompany and serve Zili Gongzi.
On the first day she came, she was taken to bathe in fragrant soup, and then she changed into a silk dress that she had never wore, which was as smooth as water, and was woven with beautiful patterns, so that even the richest Zheng butcher's daughter-in-law in the village had never worn such fine clothes; The house also divided them into jewelry, rouge and a separate room, the jewelry is gold, jade, all of them are the best of the best, her eyes are straight, she can't believe her eyes, she has never seen such a beautiful and expensive jewelry in her life, I didn't expect these things to be her face......
The rouge is also excellent, it smells like a flower, and when you rub it on your face, your face immediately turns white and fragrant .......
Later, they were arranged to study, some people specially taught them etiquette, some people taught them makeup, and some people taught them to read and write, play the piano and paint, and improve their literacy. The housekeeper's lady told them that as long as they could study hard and please their sons, they would be able to live like this forever in the future.
She likes to live such a life, and wants to live such a life forever, and she has never lived such a life before, but once she has lived, she will never be able to return to her shabby home, low and broken grass house, so she is more attentive than anyone else, no matter what she learns, although she is not the best learner, but she is the one who learns the most.
They were arranged to serve the son in groups of four, and with her group was the daughter of the silk merchant, and there was a Qingqi man from a Qinglou, and the other was a small jasper from a middle peasant family, and those were all used to serving people and could not serve people at all. Only she is the most diligent, with her eyes at her fingertips, and she is never tired, so she quickly rose to prominence among these people, showed her edge, and was noticed by the prince and appointed as a personal maid.
Her real name is the third sister, but after coming to the Liguo Mansion, she was changed her name by the old lady, called Zhaoyun, and the girls who came with her also changed their names, changed to the Hunan characters and the Yun characters, the girls of the Hunan characters were born better than the girls of the Yun characters, and they were more daughters of families with a bit of furniture, and the children of the Yun characters were all from poor backgrounds, and their manners and behaviors were very vulgar, only she was smart and clever, and quickly learned the etiquette norms of women from large families, in just one month, There is no difference in behavior from the girls of the Hunan generation, plus she is diligent in her hands and feet, and she is dedicated to serving her son, and now she has shown herself among more than a dozen girls!
"Bring the medicine!"
Mo Zili stretched out his hand, his eyes were still looking out of the window, although he couldn't see anything anymore, his eyes were still reluctant to take away.
Summoned the clouds to take the medicine, gently put it in Mo Zili's hand, and quickly poured a cup of water soaked in tribute dates, ready to relieve Gongzi's suffering for a while.
Mo Zili picked up the medicine bowl, drank it without frowning, and then handed the medicine bowl back: "Take it!" β
Zhao Yun took the bowl and hurriedly handed over the cup in his other hand: "Childe, the medicine is bitter, drink some to relieve the bitterness!" β
"No, you go down, I want to be alone for a while!"
Mo Zili commanded lightly, because he was noisy, his pale and haggard face was already slightly angry.
Seeing that Gongzi was unhappy, Zhaoyun hurriedly tiptoed to the side, but did not leave the room, just stood in the corner and waited quietly, trying his best to reduce his sense of storage, so as not to annoy Gongzi.
Mo Zili looked out the window for a long time, until his neck was sore, then he turned his head, and suddenly saw Zhaoyun in the corner, and saw that she was standing in the corner looking at him with low eyebrows, and when he saw him turn around, he hurriedly lowered his head, and looked at his toes intently, like dodging eyes, like a timid little mouse.
The reproach that came to his lips was swallowed back, and Mo Zili sighed: "Go back!" β
He was content to see her once in this life and see her so happy......
β¦γ
Xiangyun's carriage quickly drove to the gate of the palace, and from a distance, she saw the emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty and Cai Wei standing side by side at the gate of the palace waiting for them, and her mother was also standing behind Cai Wei, wiping her eyes excitedly with a handkerchief.
"Mother, Caiwei!"
Xiangyun screamed and poked his head out, waving his handkerchief vigorously out of the window.
Everyone present twitched the corners of their mouths, and Cuiwen, who was walking beside her, also whispered: "Niangniang, pay attention to your appearance!" β
was reminded by her like this, Xiangyun froze suddenly, she rolled her eyes and looked around, and sure enough, she saw that everyone was looking at her in shock.
Her face flushed, she gently withdrew the veil, put it to her mouth and coughed, her movements very gentle.
Looking at her overly contrived demeanor, Cai Wei almost couldn't hold back her laughter, this Xiangyun is the mother of two children, and she has such a child's temperament, it seems that Wanyan Jingchen must be very good to her, otherwise she would not have been indulged in such a heartless look!
Mrs. Wu was also very happy to see her radiant daughter, she didn't expect her daughter to live so well, and her son-in-law loved her daughter so much, it seems that her daughter is really married to the right person.
got out of the car, didn't wait for the salute, Xiangyun couldn't help it anymore, she trotted over and shouted: "Cai Wei, mother, I want to kill you!" β
With a shout in his mouth, the person had already pounced and threw himself into Cai Wei's arms.
The corners of Cai Wei's mouth twitched, and she immediately thought of a line that a famous cross talk performance artist in her previous life often hung on her lips, and this sentence was shouted out of Xiangyun's mouth, which was just as joyful.
"Yun'er, watch out for your body!"
Wanyan Jingchen reminded her with a dark face, and was almost about to reach out to pull her.
He originally planned to walk side by side with Xiangyun in front of Nangong Yi and Cai Wei and meet each other according to the national ceremony, but the plan was disrupted by that Xiangyun, watching her stride running, the warm smile on his handsome face suddenly became nervous, and he couldn't keep his composure.
This girl, knowing that she is pregnant, dares to run so fast, she really owes it to clean up!
"Let's go meet Mrs. Wu, she's waiting here early in the morning!" Cai Wei patted Xiangyun's back and reminded her.
Xiangyun raised her head from Cai Wei's arms, and sure enough, she saw her mother looking at her with red eyes, and when she saw her gaze coming over, Mrs. Wu choked up: "Yun'er ......"
"Mother, you have lost weight and are older than you were three years ago......"
Xiangyun sniffled, came out of Cai Wei's arms again, and threw himself into Mrs. Wu's arms.
It seemed impossible to expect her to meet everyone with a national ceremony, Wan Yan Jingchen shook his head helplessly, and stepped forward to meet Nangong Yi privately.
After a few words of greeting, Nangong Yi invited the couple into the Jiqing Palace, and announced that they would set up a banquet to entertain them in the Jiqing Palace.
Li Guogong and the old lady were also invited, but the old couple were already unwell, so they excused themselves, Mo Yuanshan and his wife Wu, his son Mo Ziqi, and his daughter-in-law Mu Caifei were also invited, and they couldn't shirk anymore, so they all rushed to the banquet.
The eldest lady Wu saw Xiangyun with a happy face, so she put her mind at ease, she originally did the marriage between Xiangyun and Mo Zili, Xiangyun's marriage was unhappy, so that she carried a great psychological burden, until now she saw her sister-in-law and felt guilty panic, now seeing that Xiangyun is happy, a big stone hanging on her heart finally landed......
Mo Ziqi was very relieved to see that Cousin Yun was finally happy, although it was inconvenient for him to come forward to talk to her, but he still nodded to her from a distance, and raised his glass to express his blessings to her.
When Xiangyun and left, they also said that the daughter of Jian'an Hou was ruined in this life, but not only was it not ruined, but she also lived so well, not to be the mother of a country, the husband was still gentle and considerate, it was really a virtue in the last life, and it was used in this life!
Today is a good day, not only the day when Xiangyun returns to Dajin Province, but also the day when Chrysanthemum gets married.
said that it was a marriage, but in fact, it was to walk around the capital in a sedan chair, and then the sedan chair was carried back to the Shen Mansion and worshiped to get married.
After being taken captive last time, although the chrysanthemum was rescued, but in the end it was frightened, and it took a few months to relieve her senses, although the spirit of the gods was relieved, but the person also lost a lot of weight, and I no longer saw the round and lovely appearance of the past!
After the visit, the son-in-law Li Sheng changed his words, calling Shen Luming and his wife his father and mother, the Shen family and his wife smiled, rewarded the son-in-law with a silver ticket of 1,000 taels as a change of mouth fee, and rewarded him with the fur shop.
Li Sheng was grateful to Dade for accepting it, worshiped heaven and earth with Chrysanthemum, and was sent into the cave room. After entering the cave room, Chrysanthemum sat on the marriage bed with her head covered, and Li Sheng then went out to toast.
It was lively outside, and the ministers who were not qualified to enter the palace for the banquet all brought their families to drink the wedding wine, although Shen Luming, a six-grade official, was not big, but the courtiers who watched the six roads and listened to all directions heard that the daughter of the Shen family was better than the current queen's mother, so they naturally stuck it up!
The daughter finally got her wish, and the couple also got a wish, and in the future, they just waited to hold their grandson and raise their old age......
The guests didn't disperse until the evening, Li Sheng was drunk like mud, and was helped back to the cave room, where could he still drink a glass of wine? Conjugal rites?
Seeing that her husband was drunk like this, Chrysanthemum had to remove her hijab by herself, called Xiaokui to prepare sobering tea, wiped his face again, and gave him tea, and served him all night without undressing.
The next day, Li Sheng woke up and saw the chrysanthemum lying on the table, and hurriedly went down to the ground to apologize: "Lady, my husband ate too much wine last night and snubbed the lady, please forgive the lady!" β
Chrysanthemum raised her hazy sleepy eyes, looked at the husband opposite, and said, "It's okay, it's not early, let's go and give tea to my father!" β
Li Sheng listened, and hurriedly called Xiaokui to come in and serve the chrysanthemum, and when the chrysanthemum was dressed, he accompanied her to the front hall to give tea to Shen Luming and his wife.
Shen's husband saw that his daughter looked tired, but their young couple had just tasted the taste, and they had been greedy for a long time, so they were embarrassed to say it, but they were happy in their hearts.
After toasting the tea, Li Sheng respectfully said to his father-in-law and mother-in-law: "The son-in-law is grateful to his father-in-law and mother-in-law for his love and recruitment, and he is grateful in his heart. β
When Lord Shen and Cui Shi heard this, they were very useful, and said: "We two old people don't need you to do anything, as long as you two live a loving life, let us hold our grandson as soon as possible, it is your filial piety!" β
"Yes! The son-in-law will definitely let his father-in-law and mother-in-law get their wish! Li Sheng arched his hand and shook it deeply.
Cui Shi smiled: "Virtuous son-in-law, a family, you don't need to make such a big gift!" β
Li Sheng said: "The son-in-law salutes to ask the father-in-law and mother-in-law for another matter, and to return the favor of the father-in-law and mother-in-law!" β
Lord Shen said: "If the virtuous son-in-law has anything to say, he doesn't need to salute!" β
"Yes!"
Li Sheng straightened his waist and said: "The son-in-law has become a parent, and finally has a family, but, a big thing, the deceased parents of the son-in-law don't know it, thinking of this, the son-in-law can't help but burn inside, and I hope that the father-in-law and mother-in-law will take the son-in-law to Qingxian County, and burn the pillar incense in front of the parents' grave, and say goodbye, it is also considered that the father and mother did not support the son-in-law in vain, and the son-in-law can be regarded as a wish!" β
What Li Sheng said was filial piety, Lord Shen and his wife should not refuse, although they were reluctant to let their daughter go on a long journey, but they couldn't bear to refuse their son-in-law's legitimate request, lest he feel resentful and only plant a gap between them.
Therefore, after being embarrassed for a while, he reluctantly said: "You can be so filial, this is excellent, but Lingbei is far away, and now the New Year is approaching, why not wait until the New Year, and then go in the spring season, wouldn't it be better?" β
Li Sheng said: "The son-in-law has been trained since he was a child, and he has heard about the marriage event, the order of his parents, the words of the matchmaker, before the son-in-law got married, he did not go to the grave of his parents to say a word, and now he has become a parent, if he still does not go to worship, I am afraid that it will violate ethics and filial piety, so please be sure to fulfill my father-in-law and mother-in-law!" β
After speaking, he knelt down and buckled his head to Mrs. Shen.
"Hey, what are you doing here? Chrysanthemum, quick, get your son-in-law up......"
Shen Luming and his wife saw that their son-in-law was so solemn, and hurriedly asked Chrysanthemum to help him up, but Li Sheng refused to get up, looking at the posture, if Lord Shen and his wife did not agree, he would be unable to kneel for a long time.
The son-in-law only entered the door the next day, and he did something that made the couple so embarrassed, Shen Luming and his wife couldn't help but be a little dissatisfied, but their daughters were married to other people, and they couldn't say anything, so they were embarrassed, so they had to say: "Okay, let's go, just go and go back quickly, don't delay in the north!" β
Hearing this, Li Sheng was overjoyed and said: "Thank you father-in-law and mother-in-law for your success, my son-in-law will definitely come back as soon as possible, and I will never let my father-in-law and mother-in-law worry!" β
Cui Shi said: "When are you going to leave?" β
Li Sheng said: "The son-in-law has calculated, tomorrow is the auspicious day of the zodiac, it is suitable to travel, and the son-in-law plans to leave early tomorrow morning!" β
As soon as he heard that his son-in-law had calculated all the days of travel, it could be seen that it was inevitable, and it was up to the two of them to make the decision, Lord Shen and his wife were even more dissatisfied, but because of his new aunt, it was not easy to have a seizure.
Cui Shi said lightly: "Now that the day of the trip has been checked, I guess the salute is also ready, do you need us to prepare anything for you?" If not, we won't point fingers at you! β
Chrysanthemum saw her mother's displeasure, and hurriedly said: "Mother, why don't you let him go back by himself, it just so happens that I don't want to go back, it's cold in the north, and if I go back at this time, won't I freeze to death?" β
Without waiting for Cui's to speak, Li Sheng said: "Lady, get married and worship your parents, how can there be a reason for you not to go, if you don't go, how can your father and mother see their daughter-in-law, you can reluctantly go through it, it can be regarded as helping me but a wish!" β
Chrysanthemum muttered: "I don't believe in those ghosts and gods, if there were spirits in the world, your father and mother would have flown over to see us, and you would have used you to go back?" If there is no spirit, I will only go to the two piles of dirt and ...... nonsense. β
When Li Sheng heard this, his face turned a little pale, and he said in a cool voice: "Since the lady doesn't want to go, forget it, I'll go back by myself!" β
Cui Shi saw that his son-in-law's face had changed, and he was afraid that it would affect the relationship between their husband and wife, so he hurriedly persuaded his daughter: "Chrysanthemum, you can follow your son-in-law to visit, so you can pay homage to your in-laws!" β
Although Lord Shen felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, he didn't want his daughter to have an awkward relationship with his son-in-law as soon as he became a parent, in case the two of them hurt their feelings, it would be difficult to be happy in the future.
Therefore, he also persuaded his daughter: "Chrysanthemum, you can go back with Li Sheng, Dad will send more people to serve you, and you will go early and return early!" β
