Chapter 159: Marriage
Qiao Mufeng was practicing swords in the courtyard. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info He is about to get married, except that there is red silk everywhere in this house, red lanterns are hung, and there is a joyful scene, but there is no trace of joy on his face. It's like it's the same as usual.
In his opinion, it doesn't matter if they get married or not. It's just that there is an extra woman in the house. is just a woman, so she thinks she saved her life back then. If you have to marry a woman, then she is.
I heard a report from the next person, saying that it was the eldest lady of the Li family who asked to see her.
Qiao Mufeng frowned, "Please Miss Li go to the flower hall, I'll go over in a while." ”
The man said yes and withdrew.
Qiao Mufeng walked towards the inner room, changed his clothes again, and then slowly walked to the flower hall.
Li Jingya sat in the flower hall and tasted the tea carefully, pretending to taste it carefully, people who don't know should really think that she understands tea. She grew up in Qinglou since she was a child, and in that place, there was no good tea for her to taste, and all she learned was some piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, poetry and songs.
She really can't say anything about this tea.
As soon as Qiao Mufeng entered, he saw a delicate woman who was lowering her head and lowering her eyes.
He frowned quietly.
Seeing that the people waiting for them were coming, Li Jingya hurriedly stood up, glanced at him weakly, and then squatted down with a lot of grace and gave Qiao Mufeng a delicate salute.
was supported by Aoyagi, looking at Qiao Mufeng with teary eyes, biting his lip, as if he had been greatly wronged.
As soon as Qiao Mufeng saw Li Jingya like this, he immediately denied her.
What he hates most in his life is this kind of woman, what beautiful flowers shine on the moon, what weak willows support the wind, they are all fake.
At that time, Princess Anping was still there, and he still had his mother.
If it weren't for the fact that the person went to the house one after another, and those women were not vegetarians, knowing that the person liked delicate women, they all tried their best to do it, all of which meant that the princess punished them by virtue of her status, so that the person was resentful of the princess. The princess has golden branches and jade leaves, and she disdains to worry about those people. But the man was her colt. I was depressed in my heart, and I ended up depressed within a few years.
Not less than a year after the princess died, the man married his stepwife, the cousin he had been thinking of.
That cousin is a typical little white flower. was openly good to him, but secretly used the silver to find a killer to ask for his life.
At that time, he was still young.
It's just that after going through a lot, he also understands, besides, he has never been stupid.
If you join the army early, you can live.
In his life, he suffered a lot at the hands of those women. I understand a truth in my heart, the weaker a woman, the more she can deceive people, and the more ruthless her heart is.
Therefore, as soon as he saw Li Jingya's posture, his first reaction was the woman in the courtyard of the princess's mansion.
Those women who once wanted his life.
It's just that after so many years, he has become accustomed to hiding his expression. Only frowned slightly, and asked Li Jingya to sit down.
"I wonder why Miss Li came here today?"
He is a military general. Naturally, he did not speak as softly and silently as a scribe. It's a little low, and it's like a beautiful cello.
It's just that the indifference in her words made Li Jingya feel a little frightened.
Li Jingya has carefully dressed up today, and she has confidence in herself.
Think about it for a moment.
raised his head, his eyes were filled with mist, and his pink red lips bit lightly, revealing a lot of grievances, but in those words, he didn't say a word.
"General, I heard that the general will be married in a few days, Jingya, Jingya disregarded etiquette and came today, yes, to bless the general. I hope that the general and the county lord will be together for a hundred years, happy and healthy. ”
After speaking, he looked at Qiao Mufeng without saying anything.
Qiao Mufeng was already impatient in his heart, if he hadn't thought about marrying this Li Jingya, he wouldn't have come.
He came to make it up to them.
It didn't mean anything else.
Seeing that Li Jingya finished speaking, Qiao Mufeng only replied expressionlessly, "Thank you Miss Li for your concern." ”
and he spoke no more.
He talks less, even with his friends, and he talks less.
Not to mention with an unfamiliar woman.
Li Jingya only waited for such a sentence. There was a little drumming in my heart, could it be that the general was still angry with himself, so he didn't even want to say more to himself.
However, she is a woman, and she is a beautiful girl, where can she take the initiative to express her love for men.
It's just that if you don't say it, you won't be able to enter the gate of this general's mansion. The wealth in the future will not belong to you.
Gritting her teeth, Li Jingya looked at Qiao Mufeng steadily, her eyes were a little more firm, but her face was full of grievances.
"General, you, you married the county lord, yes, because you like her?"
She bit her lip, the red lips were smooth and moist, and they looked like roses with dew in the morning. It makes people want to kiss Fangze.
A woman like her knows how to be pitied by men.
When Qiao Mufeng heard this, he glanced at Li Jingya a little strangely, and with just one glance, Li Jingya felt that her back was stabbed and her whole body was unnatural.
"This is the emperor's will."
This sentence alone made Li Jingya breathe a sigh of relief, it seems that it is not Qiao Mufeng who likes that Sangyu.
didn't know that this marriage was taken by Qiao Mufeng on his own initiative.
Since it was the emperor's marriage, it naturally could not be violated.
Hope ignited in Li Jingya's heart, and her face became more and more aggrieved. Tears seemed to burst out of his eyes.
"The emperor's marriage is a great blessing, although Jingya loves the general, but she also hopes that the general will be happy, and the county lord is also a very good person. With the county lord here, Jingya is also very relieved. It's just, hopefully, I hope that the general will not forget Jingya, Jingya, will always wait for the general. ”
After saying that, he hid his face and began to cry. It seems that he has been greatly wronged.
If you don't know, do you think there was something between the two? was canonized by the emperor, and then he beat the mandarin duck.
Qiao Mufeng's face became heavier and heavier, and a cold air came out of his body, if Li Jingya didn't know what he meant, he would be a fool.
said in a calm voice, "Miss Li, General Ben still has something to do, so I won't accompany you much." Come, send off. ”
After speaking, he waved his sleeves and left without leaving any affection.
Li Jingya was still stunned in her chair, and she was still immersed in the story she had weaved. According to the development of this plot, isn't it that the general got up, and then slowly walked in front of her, hugged her into his arms with affection, called her name gently, and said bitterly that it was all sacred and inviolable, and he only had her in his heart.
Then, he was angry with the crown and begged the emperor to withdraw his will and give them a marriage.
Shouldn't that be the case?
How can you throw your sleeves away?
Li Jingya was dumbfounded, but she didn't want to lose this opportunity, even if she was a concubine, she was also willing. He jumped up from his chair and ran out quickly, "General, I know you have a hard time, and I know that you don't want to marry her." I, I don't care about my status, I just want to stay by the general's side, bring tea and water to the general, wash my hands and make soup. General, general. ”
There are very few women in the general's mansion, except for the young master, the general doesn't need a maid, and all of them are small servants.
The little guy had never seen such a vulgar young lady, and he was stunned.
Li Jingya chased him out, and he reacted.
Hurriedly chased out.
Qiao Mufeng's face became even more ugly when he heard Li Jingya's words. But I also know that if I hadn't gone to Li's Mansion at the beginning, this Miss Li wouldn't have been so bold.
He turned around and looked at Li Jingya fixedly, and when Li Jingya saw him stop, she thought that her words had moved him. Hurriedly ran forward in small steps, revealing his most delicate smile, twisting his waist like a water snake, and the thin white soft water was about to caress Qiao Mufeng's chest.
"General, let the concubine serve you."
The deliberately softened voice carried a certain hint.
Qiao Mufeng took a step back, his face like a 10,000-year-old iceberg.
"Come on, throw her out for me."
After speaking, he glanced at her with disgust, and waved away.
Li Jingya looked at Qiao Mufeng's departing back dumbfounded, she didn't know what she did wrong, don't men like this?
Something was wrong with her.
It's a pity that the general's mansion is full of iron men, and her tenderness really can't play a role.
Therefore, Li Jingya was really thrown out.
Her carefully selected clothes were covered in dust, and the jewelry in her hair fell to the ground. The whole person was lying on the ground, looking embarrassed.
Qiao Mufeng returned to the study and instructed someone to call out directly if she came again.
Qiao Mufeng didn't have the heart to pity Xiangxiang and cherish the jade, he was so miserable by a woman, and his heart was long gone.
In a few days, Sang Yu will get married, and in the past few days, Mrs. Xibohou has told her about the housekeeper every day and the details to pay attention to.
Sang Yu has never done such a thing as a housekeeper.
Mrs. Xibohou taught her little by little, "When you go to the mansion, you must place your own people in important positions, and if the slave makes a mistake, don't punish him with nothing, but reward and punish him clearly." The most important thing to pay attention to is the kitchen, which is not only the place with the most oil and water, but also the imported food, you must pay great attention. We must find a way to gain the respect of the stewards of the house. "Wait.
Although Sang Yu didn't care, he still listened.
She didn't want to take care of the general's house, she just had to put her things in order.
Her Brocade Pavilion has opened, and business is doing well. Although the fabrics are all available in Beijing, those winding purses, etc., are all new patterns. It's very popular with the ladies and girls.
When Li Jingya returned home, she smashed things all over again.
Still angry, he ran to Chen's place and cried again, his eyes were red from crying, Chen felt sorry for his daughter, and blamed his son for not doing things well. She actually wanted to go to Sangyu in person.
She didn't believe it, Sang Yu could still disrespect her as an elder.
No matter who it is, Li Jingya just needs her to help herself. Therefore, Li Jingya not only did not stop Chen's behavior, but also said that she was grateful to her mother for making decisions for her daughter.
Chen led the mighty people to Mao'er Alley.
If you want to say that this big family, when you come to visit, you have to hand over posts. Fang table respect.
This Chen family is a merchant family, where do you understand this, and you are angry, so you directly called the servants of the family to go up and knock on the door.
Sang Yu made the county lord and had to get married. Recently, there are many people who have come to give gifts, visit, and pull relationships. You can't always kick everyone out.
Some people really want to make friends.
You can't offend everyone thoroughly.
Besides, all the women who came were women, and it was usually Mrs. Xibohou who was entertaining, and Sang Yu would also meet some, all of whom were brought by Mrs. Xibohou.
It's just that everyone has handed over the post, and there is no one like Chen who directly slaps the door. 、
Not only did she knock on the door directly, but she also asked Sang Yu to open the door and personally welcomed her in.
You must know that even ordinary big families will not open the door easily, and those nobles will only open the door when the royal family is coming. The gate represents the heritage of the family, you have nothing, why let me open the door to welcome you.
When Chen came, Mrs. Xibohou was chatting in Sang Yu's house.
When he heard the report from the next person, he immediately frowned.
Look at Sang Yu.
Sang Yu pursed her lips, and there was a serious look between her eyebrows.
I told Mrs. Xibohou when I was in the Li family.
Mrs. Xibohou rolled her eyes and said with a smile, "You are now waiting to be married, and it is inconvenient to entertain guests." I'll go for it. However, if there is anything to pay attention to, you have to tell me, lest I neglect the distinguished guest. ”
Guest.
What qualifications does a merchant's wife have to be called a distinguished guest?
Sang Yu's face also turned red.
Bowing his head, he said, "I don't owe them anything, it's a partnership." I just don't know what they mean by coming. He raised his head again and looked at Mrs. Xibohou, "No matter what they mean, Madame must not wronged herself for me." ”
Mrs. Xibohou's heart warmed, and she said with a smile, "Don't you know that I can, who can give me grievances." ”
After that, he took the maid out with him.
Chan was placed in the Flower Hall.
Li Jingya sat on the chair on her left, her eyes still a little red.
She looked at Chen aggrievedly, and Chen patted the back of her hand, signaling that she was not in a hurry.
I thought in my heart that if I saw Sang Yu, I would definitely scold her for not being able to raise her head, and see if she dared to disrespect her elders like this.
It's just that I didn't expect it to be the famous Mrs. Xibohou in Beijing. ,
Chen hurriedly stood up and saluted Mrs. Xibohou.
Mrs. Xibohou is a first-class order, so she can naturally accept it all.
When they sat down, they raised their eyelids and asked them to get up.
"Is there something wrong with Mrs. Li coming?"
I didn't even say hello, so I asked.
Naturally, it is looked down upon.
Chen's face stiffened, and he hurriedly smiled, "If you return to Mrs., I came here today to discuss something with the county lord." ”
She originally planned to wait for Sang Yu to come, put on her own shelf, and explained that Sang Yu had received the favor of the Li family, and directly asked Sang Yu to meet her requirements.
It's just that Sang Yu didn't see it, this Mrs. Xibohou, she can't afford to offend.
When Mrs. Xibohou heard this, she sneered, her eyes full of disdain. Gently squeezing the tea leaves in the cup, as if casually asking, "Looking for the county lord?" But what's the matter? ”
Chen was stunned for a moment, and said with a somewhat disguised smile, "Hehe, there is nothing important, I just thought that the county lord was about to get married, and the county lord also lived in the Li family for a period of time, and it was also very good to me." So, just come and have a look. ”
In her words, she mentioned that her relationship with Sang Yu was not ordinary, and she wanted to let Sang Yu come out to see her.
How do you know that Mrs. Xibohou said with a smile, "The county master is preparing for marriage and is busy." Since you have nothing to do, go back. I'll talk to the county lord. ”
She has been very busy these days, and she doesn't even have time to see the daughters of those officials, if it weren't for Sang Yu's face, where would she be able to accompany you, the businessman's wife, to talk about this for a long time. It's time for you to say goodbye with your own amusement.
Before Chen could speak, Li Jingya heard Mrs. Xibohou say that she wanted to let them go, and she immediately became anxious. stood up and said hurriedly, "My mother said that she wanted that Sangyu to come out, why is Mrs. like this, is it possible that when the elders visit, she can't even see it?" How can such a person be worthy of the title of county lord, and where is he qualified to marry a general. ”
She grew up in Qinglou, no one taught her the rules, although she was later recovered, but Chen likes her and feels sorry for her, and she is knowledgeable everywhere, Chen is naturally very proud, and feels that such an excellent daughter does not need to find someone to teach at all. That's great.
Unexpectedly, Li Jingya actually said such a thing today. Chen only felt his heart pound twice. He cautiously looked up at Mrs. Xibohou and was relieved to find that she was not unusual. It's just that he still respectfully apologized to Mrs. Xibohou, "The little girl has no feelings, and I ask Mrs. for forgiveness." ”
Mrs. Xibohou only glanced at the two of them with contempt, and had already stood up, but now sat back down. His expression had relaxed, and his eyebrows were full of sarcasm.
"Oh, the elders are visiting? Mrs. Ben heard that the county lord was an orphan without a father or mother, so she didn't know what was going on with her elders? ”
Chen also knew that Li Jingya had said the wrong thing, so he hurriedly knelt on the ground and replied, "The county lord once had business dealings with the Li family, and at that time, the concubine's husband felt that the county lord was very similar to the eldest daughter who had been separated from the concubine for many years, so he thought about recognizing the county lord as his goddaughter. Therefore, it is not wrong for a concubine to be called an elder. ”
Mrs. Xibohou only drank tea, and saw that Chen didn't tell her to get up, "Goddaughter? How do I know is that the county lord didn't agree at that time, and said that she only had one mother, and she didn't recognize anything else. ”
Chen didn't expect that she even knew these words, and she only felt sweat like rain.
I didn't know what to say when I knelt on the ground.
Mrs. Xibohou didn't want to say much to her, so she only said lazily, "Mrs. Li will go back if it's okay." Don't rush up to recognize your relatives if you have nothing to do, Mrs. Ben and the county lord are not as idle as Mrs. Li. ”
After speaking, he glanced at the two of them coldly, and proudly took the maid's hand and left.
Mrs. Xibohou is gone, and there is naturally no need for Chen and Li Jingya to stay in Mao'er Hutong.
When I returned home in a huff, I smashed a room of things again.
kept scolding Sang Yu, the wolf, the dog, and the lungs were ungrateful.
Soon, April 16 arrived.
Sang Yu didn't have much hope for this marriage. Sometimes the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.
If she doesn't give up hope, she keeps her heart, and no matter how much damage she gets, she can resist it.
It's just that she's worried about how to get the candles in the cave room overnight.
She didn't want to be intimate with someone she didn't like.
It made her feel disrespectful.
In less than four days, Sang Yu was dug out of the bed by Mama Fu. She had always slept a lot and slept very well, never waking up so early.
I just feel groggy.
When she came to her senses, she had already changed into her wedding clothes and even combed her hair. The face was snow-white, and it was smeared with a thick layer of powder, and the lips were painted red and gorgeous, and the eyebrows were painted.
It's just that the bronze mirror doesn't see very clearly. Sang Yu didn't bother to say.
Just sit quietly in the room.
Think about your own thoughts.
The people in the house came and went, went and came. She didn't know, it was just a heartbeat.
Suddenly, she heard the sound of the bridegroom coming outside, and she felt even more stiff.
I regretted it in my heart, if only I had escaped with Ye Yu in the first place. She didn't want to get married at all.
It's just that now, she is a fish lying on the chopping board, and she can only be slaughtered.
That's a serious point.
It's just that no matter who you are, you are afraid of what you don't know.
She knew that there were many rules for marriage in ancient times.
However, I didn't think there were so many.
The bride whispered in her ear all the time what to do.
Sang Yu only felt that there was chaos in her mind, and she would do whatever the Xi Niang said.
In the end, after worshipping heaven and earth, she couldn't remember what she had done.
was helped back to the new house.
Sitting alone on the bed, feeling a little thirsty.
He pursed his lips, but he still held back. I just couldn't stop thinking about what kind of person Qiao Mufeng was.
"Stars."
She called softly.
Fanxing was guarding outside the door, and when he heard Sang Yu's voice, he hurriedly came in and asked, "County Lord, but what's the matter?" ”
Sang Yu thought about it, but still shook his head, bit his lip and said, "Can I take the hijab off?" ”
Fanxing said, "County Lord, the hijab is to be taken off by the general's own hands, which indicates the consummation of the circle. ”
Sang Yu sighed, the thick powder on her face made her very uncomfortable, she wanted to wash her face, she wanted to change the phoenix crown on her body and change into a light dress.
She wanted to drink water, she wanted to eat, she wanted to sleep.
She doesn't want to get married.
I don't want to put someone else's last name on my name.
Seeing that she didn't speak, Fanxing didn't go out, so he stayed with her in the house.
After a while, the general returned. There was also a large group of people behind him, all of whom were some of his good brothers, saying that they wanted to see their sister-in-law.
Qiao Mufeng had a cold face, he was already cold, and when others saw it, they didn't think it was any different.
The maid brought the tray with the weighing rod, and Qiao Mufeng held the weighing rod, which was made of gold, delicate and meticulous.
Sang Yu only felt that there were many more people in the room, and the sound of calm footsteps was getting closer and closer to her, she held her breath, and her heart was about to jump out.
From underneath her hijab, she saw a pair of big feet in black boots appear in front of her.
Even through the hijab, she felt that her light was blocked.
Suddenly, her eyes lit up, and she subconsciously raised her head.
I only saw a resolute face in front of me, although he was wearing a red dress, he couldn't stop the coldness of his body.
Sword eyebrows and eagle eyes, the bridge of the nose is firm, and the thin lips are slightly pursed.
Is this the man he was given to marry? (To be continued.) )
