328 Mingzhu's Marriage (II)
The night before the wedding, Mingzhu tossed and turned on the bed and couldn't sleep: "Yueyao, you can talk to me!" "It's the last day of my mother's house, and Mingzhu's mind is a little messy.
Yue Yao shook her head and said, "If you want to speak, there will be opportunities in the future, so it's better to sleep now, so as not to have energy tomorrow." I'll read you a few verses, and you should be able to fall asleep soon. ”
Mingzhu thought for a moment and nodded: "Cheng." ”
In the past, when I read the scriptures, I fell asleep after only a few short paragraphs, and the hypnotic effect was very good, but recently, Yueyao read for half an hour before Mingzhu fell asleep.
Yueyao leaned on the side of the bed, looking at Mingzhu who was sleeping with a smile, and couldn't help but smile on her face: "Mingzhu will definitely be happy." ”
Mingzhu only felt that as soon as she squinted her eyes, she was pulled up.
Yue Yao smiled: "It's almost dawn, it's time to get up and freshen up." "The bride's makeup is very important, and you can't be sloppy.
Mingzhu went to bathe first, and then the maid dried her hair and helped comb her hair. Not long after, Mrs. Quanfu came over and opened Mingzhu's face.
The mother-in-law, who specializes in combing the bride's hair, said while combing Mingzhu's hair: "Comb until the white hair is full of eyebrows......"
After combing her hair, Yueyao looked at Mingzhu, who was not in a state, and pushed her: "Mingzhu, what are you thinking?" "Looking at the stupid appearance just now, I must be thinking about the groom.
Mingzhu's face turned red, and her voice was like a mosquito: "I didn't think about anything!" "Mingzhu's mood is very complicated now, both longing for the future and reluctance to the family.
Bai Yi took a plate of small snacks, which were all made to the size of a thumb: "Girl, eat some to cushion your stomach first." ”
Mingzhu ate the whole plate of snacks unceremoniously: "Eat first enough, otherwise you can't stand the sedan chair that sits for so long." ”
Yueyao looked at Mingzhu who was wearing a wedding dress and said, "Mingzhu, you are so beautiful today, I can't even blink my eyes when I see it." "Mingzhu has a gorgeous appearance, and she will wear a bright red wedding dress after makeup, which is so beautiful that people dare not look at it directly.
Mingzhu muttered, "You're going to be weird." When Mingzhu said this, her eyebrows and eyes were smiling.
Mrs. Quanfu covered Mingzhu's head.
Mingzhu was blindfolded, and her heart became more and more nervous, and she couldn't help but shout: "Yueyao, Yueyao." "It's a feeling of apprehension and excitement.
Yue Yao grabbed Mingzhu's hand and said, "I'm here!" ”
As soon as Mingzhu calmed down, he heard the sound of firecrackers outside, and then a daughter-in-law shouted loudly outside: "Uncle Niu is here to greet him." ”
Yue Yao felt Mingzhu pinch her hand, Yue Yao took the handkerchief beads sent by Bai Yi and stuffed Mingzhu's hand, and then gently stroked Mingzhu's back. Mingzhu's tense mood just now quickly eased up under Yue Yao's comfort.
Bai Yi gave Yue Yao a look, and Yue Yao retreated. At this time, two brides came in. The two brides stood beside Mingzhu on the left and on the right.
Soon, the bridegroom was ushered in by a festively dressed lady.
Yue Yao looked at Niu Yanghui, who was wearing a bright red dress and a smile on his face, and her heart was also full of joy.
Niu Yanghui didn't see Yueyao, as soon as he entered the house, his eyes were on the head of Mingzhu who was covered with a hijab, and today, he finally married his sweetheart home.
Niu Yanghui stood in front of Mingzhu, but Mingzhu lowered his head.
Yue Yao saw Niu Yanghui make a gesture towards Mingzhu, and Yue Yao was a little surprised. Yueyao didn't really know much about the procedures to go through to get married, so she didn't understand why Niu Yanghui gave Mingzhu a big gift.
After the groom saluted, the bride stuffed the red silk into Mingzhu's hand, Niu Yanghui took the red silk to lead the way, and the two brides helped Mingzhu out of the back.
After Yue Yao and the others walked out, they asked Xiang Wei: "Why did Niu Yanghui give Mingzhu a big gift just now?" ”
Xiang Wei smiled: "This is custom. It is also at this time that women can be accepted by men. For many women, it's only once in a lifetime. ”
Yue Yao nodded.
Mingzhu arrived in the front hall, kowtowed to the old marquis three times, and then said goodbye to Ping's, and after the etiquette was done, Luo Shao carried her on the sedan chair.
Luo Shao is a person who practices martial arts, and it is very easy to carry the pearl. Walking in front of the sedan chair, Luo Shao put down the pearl and said softly: "If you are wronged, don't bear it, come back and tell my brother, brother will help you vent." ”
Mingzhu had a sour nose and didn't say anything, just hummed.
The sedan chair was in front, and the dowry also went out with it. The first dowry is the jade Ruyi rewarded by the Queen Mother, the second is the red coral bonsai rewarded by the Queen, followed by the grange, shop, title deed, antique calligraphy and painting, etc. In addition to these things that can be seen, Luo Shao also gave Mingzhu an additional 30,000 taels of silver as the bottom of the box.
After Mingzhu went out, Yueyao also said goodbye to Ping.
Ping didn't keep either. Although Mingzhu is married, there are a lot of things in the mansion, and it will not be finished for a while. Staying in the mansion will definitely snub Yueyao.
Xiang Wei looked at Yueyao, who was squinting at Yueyao who was making up for sleep when she got into the carriage, took a blanket and covered Yueyao, and sat aside thinking about her thoughts.
By the time Yueyao opened her eyes, she had already arrived at Mafu. Yueyao went directly to find Tang's: "Second cousin-in-law, I will go to the countryside to stay in Zhuangzi for a while in two days." ”
Tang Shi was not particularly surprised, Yueyao has been outside for half of the past few years, so it is not unusual to go out this time: "Go this time, when will you come back?" ”
Yueyao didn't know when she would come back: "I can't say now, but I will definitely come back for the New Year." ”
Tang was a little speechless, it's only June now, and it will be six months before he comes back for the New Year. In fact, Tang felt that Ma Chengteng was too indulgent to Yueyao, a girl's family, always wandering outside without home, although it was said to be painting, it was always bad. It's just that the old lady is in charge, and she has no right to peck as a daughter-in-law.
Back in Begonia Garden, Xiang Wei asked Gu You and Gu Lan to go out, and she told Yue Yao about An Zhichen. In fact, when Hou Ye told her about this the day before yesterday, she was also very surprised.
Yue Yao was very surprised: "You said that An Zhichen is going to pass himself out in order to marry me?" "Only the parents are in charge of the step-son's outing, I haven't heard of anyone who wants to pass on himself, and it's for her to pass on, it's incredible.
Xiang Wei nodded and said, "It was Master Hou who told me, it shouldn't be fake." ”
Yue Yao blinked her eyes several times, and finally asked Xiang Wei: "You go and check this matter carefully, I always feel weird." ”
Xiang Wei smiled: "The girl doesn't think it's weird, but she doesn't believe it at all, right?" Xiang Wei felt very strange about Yueyao's lack of confidence. Yueyao is talented and good-looking, although her temperament is not excellent, but it is not bad, why is she not confident!
Yueyao was a little surprised: "I always feel weird." ”
Xiang Wei could only be speechless about this: "If the girl is interested, I will naturally investigate." If the girl doesn't want to, there's no need to waste time. Xiang Wei meant that if Yueyao felt that An Zhichen was an object to consider, she would definitely have to investigate. If Yueyao doesn't want to get married, then there is no need to waste time and energy.
Yueyao was asked suddenly.
Xiang Wei said: "An Zhichen is going to succeed the third master of the An family. The third grandfather of the An family passed away at the age of fifteen and did not get married, so there was no trouble with his in-laws. An Zhichen said before that the biggest problem with his relatives is his appearance, and his identity is a little confused. If An Zhichen goes out and leaves the troubled waters of the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion, he no longer has the trouble of identity, and the girl doesn't care about An Zhichen's appearance, I think it's good. ”
Yueyao watched Mingzhu's wedding this time, and with Mingzhu's ideological work, her heart was also loosened: "Mingzhu, do you think that if I don't get married, my old age will be bleak?" ”
Xiang Wei didn't want to think about it and said: "The girl will become a great painter in the future, and the evening scene will definitely not be bleak, but when you get old, you will definitely be very lonely." ”
Yueyao looked at Xiang Wei and said angrily: "I knew that the words that Mingzhu persuaded me were taught by you." ”
Xiang Wei didn't deny it: "Girl, I'm telling the truth. Mr. Yushan is old and has a daughter, what should I do when the girl is old? The girl doesn't want to rely on Tingzheng, right? ”
Yue Yao shook her head: "I didn't think about who to rely on." In fact, Yueyao didn't think about what she would do when she was fifty or sixty years old, because in her consciousness, she didn't think that she would live that long.
Xiang Wei could only shake her head: "Girl, you are only sixteen years old this year, and there is still room for choice." After three or five years, it will be difficult to choose a satisfactory candidate. ”
Yue Yao thought about it for a long time and said, "Let me think about it again." ”
Xiang Wei smiled when she saw Yueyao's appearance. Obviously, Mingzhu's marriage this time touched Yueyao a lot, so it's okay, she doesn't want Yueyao to be really single for a lifetime. If a woman is single, if there is no family to protect her, life will be very difficult.
In the evening, Yueyao suddenly said to Xiang Wei: "Xiang Wei, what do you think of An Zhichen?" ”
Xiang Wei snorted: "Girl, have you taken a fancy to An Zhichen?" ”
Yue Yao's face turned red instantly: "What nonsense, I think if he really succeeds to the name of the third master of the An family, he is also a good candidate." "After the succession goes out, An Zhichen and the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion are just relatives, and there will be no in-laws, no uncles and sisters-in-law, which is really pure. Of course, the most important thing is that Yueyao has seen An Zhichen twice, and she doesn't feel bad.
Xiang Wei's heart that she had been carrying finally put it in her stomach. The girl was willing to ask for the man's news, which proved that the girl was really loose: "I'm not familiar with An Zhichen either, wait for me to let someone check it tomorrow." Although An Zhichen came to the door to propose, Xiang Wei knew that Yueyao would definitely not marry into the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion, so she didn't go to investigate. Now that the situation has changed, it is natural to find out.
Xiang Wei felt that as long as An Zhichen's character met her requirements, this marriage could still be completed. An Zhichen is now also a military attache of Zhengwupin, with the support of the second old lady of the An family, and the Hou Ye also appreciates him, An Zhichen's future is still very good.
Xiang Wei has always felt that eggs can't be put in one basket, so although An Zhichen is currently the focus of investigation, he is not the only one.
Yueyao practiced calligraphy for a while, and suddenly asked Xiang Wei: "Last time you said that Zhou Shu returned to Haikou, did he really go back to Haikou?" "I saw Zhou Shu in Zhaohua Temple, and it didn't take long for Xiang Wei to tell Zhou Shu that he had left the capital and returned to Haikou, and Yueyao was relieved at that time. I don't know why, Yueyao no longer rejects marrying now, but she can't help but think of Zhou Shu coming.
Xiang Wei was a little curious why Yueyao suddenly asked about Zhou Shu, but she still said: "Girl, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, even if he has the courage to take the girl away." Rest assured, girl. Xiang Wei was a little worried at first, but as Zhou Shu left the capital, Xiang Wei also forgot about Zhou Shu outside the clouds.
Yue Yao nodded, maybe she was allergic, and now her identity was different, so Zhou Shu didn't dare to beat her anymore.
