Chapter 6 Cutting the Wedding Dress

"Daddy. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info" Jiang Qu called people, in front of the coffin stood a man in his forties wearing a water blue robe, turned his head sideways and looked at them with a slight corner of his eyes, there was no touching tearful scene of the reunion of father and son, Jiang Xianyue's first sentence was, "Come and put incense on Miss Lu." ”

The servant lit incense and handed it to Jiang Qu, the coffin was full of cold ice cubes, and he felt chills when he got closer. Jiang Qu inserted the incense on the thin slit of the coffin board, and saw that the girl Lu was petite and lovely, and she was also dignified and delicate.

Jiang Xianyue said, "You Lu Shibo was supposed to take leave from the imperial court and personally transport the coffin. It's just that the weather is abnormal, and it is snowing before winter, and the local people affected by the disaster are miserable, so he has to stay behind, so he can only entrust his daughter's future affairs to the Jiang family. You should visit the church as soon as possible, so that she can be buried in peace. ”

Jiang Qu also sympathized with this Lu family girl, but her longevity was exhausted, "Her name is Lu Youzhao." ”

Jiang Xianyue's index finger was imprinted with cinnabar, and then he dotted a little between Lu Zhao's eyebrows, and asked Jiang Qu to write Jiang Lu's on the blank tablet. Jiang Qu's mood was a little complicated, to be honest, he didn't expect that he would get married so early, let alone marry a ghost bride when he got married.

Just for childhood jokes.

Jiang Qu asked, "What about the mother?" ”

"I'm preparing for your wedding with your sister." Jiang Xianyue has heard that Jiang Qu came back this time and brought his sister and brother with him, he has an elegant temperament, and asked about Changsheng and Qian Ruyue, "Do the two girls know how to cut paper?" ”

Changsheng said, "I will." ”

In the past, in order to supplement the family's income, she had learned paper-cutting from a grandmother in Tianjia Village, and later when a family in the village had a happy event, she helped cut some simple auspicious cases or words to send, but it could also be exchanged for one or two copper coins.

She also knew that the cut was not very good, but the village took pity on her and her father-in-law and changed their ways to help them.

Jiang Xianyue said with a smile, "You Zhao is still short of some jewelry, and she needs the help of the two of you." ”

Changsheng thought that Jiang Xianyue was borrowing jewelry from her, so he took off the hairpin and earrings.

Qian Ruyue thought to herself that Si Tianjian was not a petty official, looking at Jiang Li's dress, the Jiang family did not seem to be poor, how could he not even get a piece of women's jewelry?

This time I went down the mountain, because I thought I was going to dress up for Sima Luming, and the hairpins and bracelets she brought were all her favorites. I have worn it to a dead person, and I have been stained with the yin qi of the corpse, can I still wear it?

Qian Ruyue didn't want to borrow it, but secretly glanced at Sima Luming and said, "I didn't bring much jewelry when I went down the mountain, but I can take out one or two hairpins." ”

"Youzhao is already a ghost, even if she gives her the gold and silver in the world, she can't use it, and she can't wear earrings. So I hope that the two of them will cut some jewelry for her and burn her wedding clothes and shoes, the ghost is most afraid of yang, and this thing can't be done by men, so although the visitor is a guest, it is also a trouble for the two. Jiang Xianyue said.

Changsheng returned the gift awkwardly, "No trouble." ”

Jiang Xianyue still had some details of the marriage to explain to her son, and Sima Luming went back to the room after greeting Jiang Xianyue.

And Qian Ruyue originally thought that she could stick to her cousin, but she couldn't refuse the things entrusted by her elders, and her face was not very good-looking. complained in a low voice, "Doesn't there be a maid in this Jiang family, why do you want us to do it." ”

"Shouldn't cultivators also do more good deeds?" "It's just a move of scissors.

Qian Ruyue said viciously, "It's your business to pretend to be a good person, I warn you, don't pretend to be kind and pitiful in front of my cousin." ”

Mrs. Jiang and Jiang Li are meticulously depicting the phoenix crown and the xiaxia, Jiang Li saw them and introduced them to Mrs. Jiang, Mrs. Jiang smiled gently, so gentle that Changsheng envied Jiang Qu's parents who worked so hard for their children, she was an orphan who could not enjoy the joy of family in this life.

Mrs. Jiang said, "For the sake of my unsuccessful child, I have to worry about the two of you." ”

Jiang Li added a few strokes and finished painting the wedding dress. Changsheng exclaimed, "It's so beautiful." ”

Jiang Li said, "My mother still keeps the wedding dress when she married my father, and I depicted it." ”

Changsheng grabbed the scissors and carefully cut off the wedding dress.

Jiang Li glanced at her and praised her for her dexterity. He also handed the dragon and phoenix bracelet drawn according to Mrs. Li's dowry to Changsheng Scissors, and after Changsheng cut it, he put it aside and pressed it with a paperweight, so as not to fly away if the paper was too light. Just waited for all the dowries to be cut, and Mrs. Li brought a copper basin, and while reading the name of Miss Lu, she burned the paper wedding dress, paper phoenix crown and gold bracelet.

Mrs. Li said, "This marriage can only wait until the night when the yin qi is the heaviest, but I am afraid that I will not be able to sleep tonight, and the two of you can go down to rest first." ”

When Changsheng heard this, he went back to his room and went to sleep. When it was about time to come, someone knocked on the door and called her to attend the ceremony. She thought for a while whether this was a red or white thing, and then thought that Miss Lu was already a ghost in the underworld after all, so in order to show respect, she changed into a light blue dress.

The hall was lit with white wax, and the candlelight was too faint, casting the shadows of everyone in the hall on the wall, reflecting the faces of the individuals who were all gloomy. There were only two elderly servants left in the hall to serve, one holding a tray with money, and the other holding a tray with water and wine.

The rest of the men had received the command, and they did not leave the room after the hour had passed. I am afraid that there will be many people, and the yang energy will be vigorous, and the yin energy will collide.

When Miss Lu becomes a family and wishes, she may have to go to the underworld, and ghosts can't stay in the sun for too long. At that time, there will be a yin to guide the way, and this dark money and water and wine are for the yin to enjoy.

Jiang Li was making the big white flower on his chest for his younger brother, Jiang Qu was a little listless, too, no one could laugh at such a "happy event".

Lianyu cried and said with a sad face, "It's really embarrassing for my junior brother, he is such a beautiful man who is as rich as jade, so he has to marry a ghost as a bride." ”

Qian Ruyue wore a skirt made of tender green satin, which looked a little conspicuous, but there was no way, it wasn't that she didn't think about avoiding it, and this one was the lightest color in the clothes. She said, "What is the hardship of life, it is not to live a lifetime." It's just a formality. ”

Lian Yu said, "Although the worship hall is just a formality, it is not a casual affair. If you were to marry a ghost, would you be willing? ”

Qian Ruyue was categorical, "Of course I don't want to." "She is so beautiful as a flower, since she was a child, she thought that she would marry into the Sima family in the future, how could she marry a ghost.

Lianyu cried, "That's it, my poor junior brother." ”

Changsheng felt that Lianyu was a little different, and if Qian Ruyue said anything excessive, it seemed that he was also in line with the idea that good men don't fight with women, and he wouldn't be aggressive. "Senior Brother Lianyu, are you uncomfortable somewhere."

Lian Yu held her heart and said, "Senior sister, I don't know why, when I think of my junior brother wanting to get married, my heart is like a knife." This has never been done before. ”

Once on Kunlun Mountain, when he was asked to beat his junior brother's handsome face, he had been soft-hearted, but now not only can he not beat him, but when he sees Jiang Qu's face, he will blush and heartbeat, and he can't control himself.

Qian Ruyue despised it and distanced herself from Lianyu, "You don't like Jiang Qu, right?" But it's not right to think about it, she remembers that Lianyu chased her senior sister.

Sima Luming stared at Lianyu's face, and he also noticed that he had changed, but he didn't look like an evil spirit.

Lianyu said sadly, "If it weren't for the order of my parents, I would definitely have dragged my junior brother to escape, even if it was to the ends of the earth." ”

Changsheng thought to himself that if Jiang Qu and Senior Brother Lianyu were to escape from marriage, maybe he would rather marry a ghost.

The watchman on the street knocked on the pole to indicate that it was already a child, and the wind blew into the hall and blew out all the candles.

Jiang Li walked over and handed them willow leaves, "Use it to wipe your eyes, otherwise you won't be able to see it." ”

These willow leaves were all collected and stored on the day of Qingming and soaked for 49 days. Their cultivation is not enough, they can only temporarily use this method to open their yin and yang eyes.

And Changsheng took the willow leaves, in fact, it made no difference to her whether she wiped her eyes or not, because she had already seen a girl standing outside the door, wearing the phoenix crown and xia veil that she had cut by herself today, and the girl did not touch the ground, and floated in lightly.

Lu Youzhao floated to Jiang Qu's side and bowed to Yingying, and called shyly, "Jiang Lang." ”

Jiang Qu smiled a little stiffly, thinking that it would be good for Lu Youzhao to wear a red hijab, at least he would not embarrass each other. He has never advocated blind marriage and dumb marriage, but it backfired. "Miss Lu."

"You and I are about to get married, you don't have to be so unfamiliar, call me Youzhao." Lu Youzhao said, "I am already a ghost in the underworld, and there is a way for people and ghosts to take different paths, I shouldn't have the luxury of wanting to be in harmony with you again, but thanks to the Jiang family's refusal to give up, I am willing to fulfill my wish before my death, so that I will not be a lonely ghost in the underworld without a husband after I die, I am already grateful." ”

After speaking, he slowly turned in a direction and bowed to the Jiang family's parents. Changsheng thought to himself that Miss Lu was really a beautiful lady of everyone, with decent manners and a gentle and graceful temperament.

Jiang Xianyue said weakly, "You don't have to be like this, you are also a girl who is good at piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and is empathetic." The dog is useless, but he climbed high when he married you. ”

Mrs. Jiang said, "Yes, Qu'er is not successful. I took the two of you to get together, if you hadn't left so early, this family affair would have been a good relationship, and you would definitely be a good daughter-in-law who would have a husband and children. ”

Lu Youzhao's slender jade fingers lifted the corner of the hijab slightly, her nails were all white, and her pale lower lip was exposed under the hijab. There were tears hanging from the corners of her mouth, she wiped her tears with her long sleeves, and the tears she shed were blood-red, although she knew that she was a ghost, she still felt shocked.

Tears seeped into the big red sleeves, and Lu Youzhao said, "Now that you can't face your husband day and night, let alone spread out for the Jiang family, how can you teach your husband and children." ”

Jiang Qu said apologetically, "It's because I'm young and ignorant, and I said those stupid things to you, but it became a constraint for you." ”

Lu Youzhao shook his head, "Actually, I know that it is just a joke from my childhood, not a mountain alliance and a sea oath of mutual affection, Jiang Lang has forgotten it when he thinks about it." ”

Qian Ruyue pursed her lips and muttered in a low voice, "Although this Miss Lu family has only seen Jiang Qu when she was a child, she knows him quite well, and she knows what it means to be three years old and eighty." ”

As long as it is a woman, Jiang Qu's mouth is as sweet as eating honey, and she never thinks about whether it is the speaker who is unintentional, and the listener is intentional, which provokes a group of girls with spring hearts.

Lianyu spoke for Jiang Qu and said, "Senior brother is not that kind of person, he is merciful and cherished jade, although he is amorous, he is not obscene. That's what makes him so fascinating. ”

Lu Youzhao sobbed and said, "Originally, I couldn't let go of it myself, if it weren't for the fact that before I died, I wanted you to know my intentions, I'm afraid that you and I don't even have this shallow fate in this life in the vast sea of people in the next world, and I won't see each other again, and I won't talk about this old thing with my family regardless of the girl's family reserve." ”

Changsheng was moved when he heard it, just for Lu Youzhao's sincere friendship, just the depth of love that he never forgot until his death was commendable. Her nose was sore, and she was about to cry. But someone cried out before her, and Lian Yu choked up, "I didn't expect that there was such a heavy affection in the ghost." ”

Jiang Qu heard that there was once a woman who thought about tea and dinner for him, but she just secretly liked it in her heart, and she didn't think about telling him to embarrass him, he said solemnly, "How can I Jiang Qu be virtuous, I have you wrong love." ”

Lu Youzhao smiled, "Jiang Lang is very good, but I am blessed." And now that I have the status of a wife, I should not be greedy too much. If you meet a girl you like in the future, you can marry her, and you don't have to entrust her to be a concubine, and you don't have to entrust yourself to hold a funeral for me. ”

The Jiang family was still thinking about how to talk about this, but they didn't expect Lu Youzhao to take the initiative to mention it. Jiang Li saw that Jiang Qu was moved and couldn't speak for a while, so he thanked his younger brother, "Thank you, girl." ”

Lu Youzhao said, "Although I have a short life, I also hope that Jiang Lang can live a long life with 100-year-old children and grandchildren." Before burying me, cut off my fingernails and the hair that had been pressed under the statue of the old moon and boil it to ashes and drink water, and he will be fine. ”

Jiang Li took the white silk, let Jiang Qu hold one end, and let Lu Youzhao hold the other end. As the master of ceremonies, he shouted, "Worship heaven and earth......"

Jiang Qu and Lu Youzhao worshiped their parents in heaven and earth, Jiang Qu poured a glass of wine, and after drinking half of it, the other half fell to the ground, which can be regarded as having drunk a glass of wine.

Lu Youzhao was already satisfied, and finally knelt down to say goodbye to Jiang's father and Jiang's mother, "The underworld is coming, take care of your father." ”
