Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Wedding
This small courtyard selected by Li Mo is only two streets away from the kitchen road, its previous owner was a grain merchant in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and this house is just his other garden in Chang'an. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Originally, he loved this small and exquisite mansion very much, and he didn't have the intention of cutting his love, but Li Mo's sincerity was really hard to refuse, and he himself had some dealings with the two brothers of the Su family, so when Li Mo sent someone to discuss it for the third time, he happily agreed.
In terms of business, forming a good relationship with others may sometimes lead to unexpected gains.
And Li Mo, who finally got this mansion, started the renovation of this mansion almost as soon as he got the house deed and title deed.
Because the second day was the main day, the servants arranged by Li Mo to enter the house early in the morning began to decorate the house with great fanfare, and when Li Mo came back from the kitchen when the willows were on the moon, the house had changed greatly.
Starting from the big red lantern at the door, the whole house seems to have fallen into a sea of red, turning the wall behind the door, Li Mo went straight into the inner courtyard along the corridor with two rows of red lanterns, and the moon incense planted on both sides of the corridor was fine and densely open, like layers of beautiful natural thin blankets, gently spread in the courtyard, and danced gently with the passing wind from time to time, like a beauty with a willow waist, graceful and charming.
Li Mo walked absentmindedly through the long corridor, and the smell of moonlight incense came to his nose, but it did not attract half of his attention, and the servants who were shuttling around the small courtyard stopped from time to time to salute sideways without getting a response from him.
Tomorrow will not only be a big day for him to get married, but I am afraid it will also be a major day for the overall situation!
Thinking of Yuwen's vague but inexplicable words, Li Mo's heart always had a bad premonition.
Pushing open the study that had already been renovated, Li Mo slowly paced to the table and sat down, a whole set of brand-new study four treasures were placed on his desk, and an unfinished gilt post was being opened and placed on the table, inadvertently reminding him of his sight.
Li Mo and the businessmen don't have many people who want to invite, as long as the Wei Guogong family, the brother and sister-in-law of the green sleeves, the Shen Fang owner of Luoyang, and the bearded guests who don't know where they are now can come, the rest of the people are not so important.
And Li Mo's side is even simpler, Li Zhi said that he will definitely come, since he is coming, then Wu Meiniang will naturally follow, the eldest grandson Wuji, as Li Mo's maternal uncle, will inevitably come, and the rest are those non-commissioned officers who have had a very harmonious relationship in the past few days, and I am afraid that there will be no more.
As for Li Ke, Gao Yang and the like, they are not within the scope of his invitation.
Just when Li Mo lowered his head and pondered the entire marriage process, Steward Li's voice reminded him outside the door: "Son! The wedding dress of the palace Shangyi Supervisor has been delivered, and you have to try it on. ”
"Come in!" Retracting his thoughts, Li Mo stood up and walked to the door and opened the door of the study.
Behind Steward Li outside the door stood a boy in Tsing Yi, holding a carved lacquer plate in his hand, which was covered with a piece of turmeric embroidered cloth, and he didn't know what the pile of clothes looked like underneath.
Seeing Li Mo open the door, Steward Li hurriedly owed a debt, and the little boy behind him also saluted.
"Try it here! I've got something to do! Li Mo took half a step back and let Steward Li step through the door.
The boy in Tsing Yi cleverly put the lacquer plate on the table, uncovered the satin surface of the cover, and then stepped aside to stand.
Li Mo took off the brocade robe he was wearing when he entered the palace, and threw it on the back of the chair beside him, and then lifted the wedding dress in the lacquer plate.
As an unrecognized prince, Li Mo had to make some simplifications in the wedding ceremony, and because Gao Tang was no longer there, there would inevitably be an additional worship procedure in the wedding, so Li Zhi specially ordered the Shangyi Bureau in the palace to make a silk embroidered unicorn robe for Li Mo, and the one on the plate in front of him was the final product modified according to Li Mo's figure.
The letter glove was on his robe, but Li Mo's mind was still thinking about tomorrow's wedding banquet.
I don't know if King Wu will pick a move tomorrow, if he really plans to do this, I don't know how the princes who stayed in Chang'an and did not return will react?
Looking at the man in the bronze mirror in a silk embroidered red unicorn robe with some distraction, Li Mo reacted after a while.
Tugging his shoulders and tying the jade belt around his waist again, Li Mo nodded with satisfaction after a brief look at the candlelight in the room.
"Not bad! So be it! Li Mo took off the clothes on his body, put them in the lacquer plate on the table, and motioned to Steward Li to put away the clothes for him to wear tomorrow, and then said: "Prepare hot water for me, I want to bathe." ”
"Yes!" Steward Li bowed his head and agreed.
Li Mo, who was slightly tired, watched Steward Li's back go away, and frowned unconsciously.
Standing up and closing the door of the study, Li Mo opened the small door next to the soft couch in the study, and transferred into his bedroom through the living room.
The little door was the most desirable place he had found when he moved in, so that he could come from his bedroom at any time to attend to things, instead of having to take a detour from the outside, as if he were in another garden.
By the time they got their personal changes and transferred them to the clean room behind the bedroom, the little maids had already poured hot water into the bath tub in the clean room, and the petals scattered on the water surface exuded a rich fragrance under the steaming of the heat.
Taking off the only middle coat he was wearing, Li Mo, who was naked, stepped on the wooden steps next to the bathtub and slowly stepped into the water, the warm water flooded his body, gently wrapping his somewhat tense muscles.
"Hmm......" Li Mo closed his eyes comfortably and sighed lightly.
When he thought that tomorrow would be the wedding date, his long-awaited heart couldn't help but be excited, but when he thought of Li Yan, who had not come back yet, a faint worry enveloped his thoughts, making him unable to relax for half a minute.
Just as Li Mo stretched out his hand to slowly pluck the warm water onto his body, Li Yan's voice finally sounded outside the door.
"Childe!" The slightly hoarse voice revealed a faint tiredness.
These days, not only Li Mo, but also Li Yan looks haggard because of the long-term continuous work, and his originally extremely heroic face is now full of beard, and he is three points old.
"Come in!" Li Mo heard Li Yan's voice, and suddenly stood up from the bathtub, but then realized his gaffe again, and sat down in the water again.
The footsteps outside the door only stepped in with a slight hesitation, and turned from the living room into the clean room, but in a blink of an eye, Li Yan, who had sunken eye circles, appeared in front of Li Mo.
"How?" Li Mo's eyes were firmly fixed on Li Yan's face, refusing to let go of any of his expressions.
"There's news!" Li Yan's low and tired voice was filled with excitement that was hard to hide.
Knowing that the suspense of many days had come to fruition, Li Mo at this time made up his mind, and while taking a long breath, he instead grabbed the wet cloth soaked in hot water, and began to wipe the tense muscles on his body one by one, and said lightly: "Let's hear it." ”
Maybe it was Li Mo's calmness that affected Li Yan, and he gradually calmed down with some excitement in his original expression, but after a moment, he cleared his thoughts, and a calm and clear voice sounded in the clean room.
"Gaoyang Mansion ......, Wu King Li Ke and Yuwen are in the Wang's ......"
The sound from the clean room intermittently floated into the ears of Steward Li who was standing at the door, dressed in green satin without the slightest accessories, and Steward Li, who was no longer confused, raised his head slightly to look at the bright moon in the sky, with a slight smile on his face.
He didn't know what Childe was doing, he just needed to do his part, from the moment Li Yan entered the door, he drove away the little boy in Tsing Yi who was guarding the door, and replaced it with himself guarding the door, at this time, those words that intermittently floated into his ears just like a breeze blowing through his ears, and disappeared in an instant.
After a night of repeated deliberations, by the time Li Mo sent Li Yan to sleep, it was already past three watches.
Listening to the sound of beating on the street in the distance, looking at the red candle burning in front of him and the top of the bed had already been replaced with a lotus-like curtain, Li Mo's face gradually showed a smile of expectation.
As long as this night is over, the merchant will be by his side, and the wish he has been thinking about for three years has finally come true!
When the first rays of dawn shone through the window, the merchants, who had had a good night's sleep, opened their eyes.
Remembering what Aunt Sun said the night before, Shang Shang subconsciously touched the bun on his head, and was relieved to make sure that the bun that was not tightly tied was still the same as when he combed it last night.
Although the morning light outside the door was not very bright, there were already voices in the courtyard.
Before the merchant could lift the curtain and get out of bed, the door of the bedroom had been pushed open, and the green sleeves who came in with Xiao Tao couldn't help but shout when he looked at the bed curtain that was still hanging on the ground.
"Get up! Bride! If you don't get up again, you won't be able to catch up with the sedan chair! ”
Embarrassed by the words of the green sleeves, the merchant hurriedly opened the curtain, blushed slightly and said angrily: "What are you talking about! It's like I like to lie in bed! ”
Xiao Tao put the copper basin in his hand on the basin stand by the door, and turned back with a smile: "Girl! Wash your face! After a while, Aunt Sun and the sister-in-law who are dressing up will come to comb your hair for you. ”
The merchant who had just stood up helplessly let Green Sleeves take her hand, the two walked to the dressing table and sat down, and Xiao Tao twisted a handkerchief and handed it to the merchant.
After waking up with the help of warm water, Shang Shang felt that the "pounding" heart in his chest gradually calmed down.
"Go! Bring some food for the girl, if you don't fill your stomach at this time, you will be hungry! Green Sleeves pushed the little peach who took the handkerchief and was about to twist it again, urging her to hurry up and go to the kitchen.
"So early?" The merchant looked at Green Sleeves in surprise.
Is it too early to eat at this time?
"It's not early!" Green Sleeves pressed the merchant on the spring stool in front of the dressing table, shook his head and said: "When Aunt Sun comes, it will take at least two hours to comb your hair and put on makeup, and you will not be able to eat anymore when you put on your wedding dress and wait for marriage, when will you eat if you don't eat at this time?" I don't want you to be hungry for a while!
