Chapter 6 Marriage
How could the emperor not understand the emperor's thoughts, and she knew the wisdom of her nephew best. www.biquge.info In the eyes of outsiders, her younger brother is reliable and sophisticated, no matter how tricky the problem is, he can handle it properly, but she clearly knows how much credit this child has, presumably the emperor can see some eyebrows, otherwise he would not have dragged his illness to run such a trip.
The emperor finally set his eyes on Xi Yunting's master and servant, whether they are stupid or stupid, it doesn't matter if they are maids, as long as they can make such a Qilin talent really stand up for his use, he can not care about anything else. "Shaoyan, I heard that the date is set?"
"Back to the emperor, it was decided that it would be the twenty-third of this month, and there were only two days left." Wang Shaoyan wanted to stand up and answer, but he couldn't use his strength after sitting for so long, so he had to give up.
The emperor looked at him without the slightest blame, his eyes full of concern and longing. "My family doesn't have to be so particular. If you are tired, rest at your aunt's place for a while, I am also tired......" He stood up and helped the old eunuch to leave. Everyone was about to get up and salute but was stopped by the emperor, so they saved kneeling once, and everyone just stood and watched the emperor leave tremblingly.
Princess Chaoyang rarely met someone she liked, pulling Yun Ting to speak, Xi Cui could only stand aside to accompany her, Wang Shaoyan's body was obviously unable to hold on, and it didn't take long for someone to help him go to the apse to rest.
They stayed until lunch, and the queen used to have a lunch break and asked someone to send them out of the palace. On the way back, Wang Shaoyan didn't talk much, not because he didn't want to say it, but because he had no strength, he was tired and fell asleep while lying on the step. Princess Chaoyang sent them to the gate of the palace, and when they parted, she took Xi Yunting and Xi Cui's hands with a reluctant face, and said that she would definitely go on the day of marriage.
Where did Xi Yunting know what she said about getting married, she just happily agreed, and she was still looking forward to seeing them when she said it.
There was already a sedan chair waiting at the gate of the palace, Xi Cui helped Xi Yunting into the sedan chair, and soon Xi Yunting fell asleep, Xi Cui saw the lively street outside through the curtain lifted by the wind, the cries of the vendors kept coming, some people said that they were laughing and some people were noisy, I thought that I would soon be able to breathe freely in such a world, but I found that I couldn't touch it when I stretched out my hand.
Qi Yu's figure flashed by, and she smiled, she must have been dazzled. He is reading poetry and books hard at the moment, how can he have time to wander on the side of the road? But she didn't know that at this moment, her face was embarrassed, her eyes were cloudy, and the man who was holding the wine jug in one hand and swaying left and right by the sedan chair was the handsome son Qi Yu.
She didn't know how he broke the teacup angrily after Xi Yunjian finished speaking and left that day, and she didn't know how he quarreled with her desperately when his mother insisted on retiring from Xi Cui to find another good relationship for him, he had always been filial, and that was the first time he had confronted him face to face. Of course, she wouldn't know that he would no longer be able to study in peace these days. What is the use of reading? It was the first time he had asked such a question. Thinking that he is a dignified man who has studied the sage books so hard that he is now powerless, he has only been a talent for more than ten years, and he has to be admitted to the examination...... It seems that the future is unlimited but it is actually out of reach, even if he is really made into high school, joining a sergeant and becoming an officer is also climbing up from the bottom, when is the head? He didn't know, at the moment he only knew that Xi Cui was a very good woman, but he lost her, and the books he read at this time couldn't help him, let alone help her.
The days passed quickly, and finally the day before the wedding. According to the rules, Xi Yunting can't sleep tonight, she has to take a bath, comb her hair, and open her face, and the Hou Mansion is very busy. Mama Wu is an old man in the house, she knows all the rules, and she naturally doesn't have to do anything when she looks at Xi Cui, just take stock of Miss's dowry, as well as the belongings to take out of the house, and when she comes back from her busy work, Miss has already begun to comb her hair.
The combing mother whispered auspicious words while gently curling the young lady's hair, and the bright red in her eyes was very festive. Xi Cui stood aside and watched, although the young lady couldn't sit still for a long time, she couldn't resist Mama Wu's pressure, so she could only twist her eyebrows with her mouth up, which was so cute. She didn't make a sound, but Xi Yunting saw her in the mirror, and immediately struggled to stand up, making Mama comb her hair in a hurry, but she didn't care, "Xi Cui, where have you been?" They didn't let me sleep, it's so dark this day, I have to get some hair, you see I have to wear so many clothes, it's stuffy and hot, can you help me tell my mother to go to bed first? ”
Xi Cui smiled and sat her down, so that Mama could continue to comb her hair, "Miss is going to be a bride, we won't sleep today, because someone will pick us up early tomorrow morning, and then we will live in another house......"
"What do you mean? Are we moving? Are you going with me? What about mom and dad? What about my brother? Xi Yunting looked at Xi Cui, her big eyes flickering.
"Master Hou and Mrs. Hou still have to watch this home, this is where they have been living, they will not go with us. It's just us this time......" Xi Cui looked at Xi Yunting's disappointed look and suddenly thought of her expression when she saw Wang Shaoyan at that time, so she laughed, "But our new family has the good-looking brother from last time." Have you forgotten? It's the brother of the Wang family who I saw in the palace, and we will be a family from now on......"
Xi Yunting really became excited, "Of course I remember, I also want Princess Chaoyang, she said she wanted to come to see me get married." When I get married, you must remember to tell her in advance, I will wait for her. ”
The combing grandmother couldn't help but laugh when she heard this, and Xi Cui also smiled, "My young lady, tomorrow is the day you get married, but don't worry, princess, she knows the day, and if she can come, she will definitely come to see you." ”
"She's going to come, and my friends won't lie." Xi Yunting smiled and turned her head to look at herself in the mirror, "Why do you want to get married?" It's so troublesome, and it doesn't let people sleep......"
Mama Wu came over to call Xi Cui, and Xi Cui said hello to Mama Comb her hair and came out. Mama Wu brought her to Madame, Madame and Master Hou were there, seeing her coming, Mrs. stood up, walked to the dresser and took out a delicate box, "The things in this are for you alone, which can be regarded as my gratitude to Master Hou and you for taking care of Miss." ”
"Madame, why are you doing this?" Xi Cui pushed away the hand handed over by his wife, "The slave maid has been deeply favored by the two masters in the mansion for many years, and it is difficult to repay her death, but now Mrs. is like this, how dare Xi Cui stretch out this hand?" ”
"You girl, I'll give it to you! Is it okay for the Hou Mansion to give you a few dollars? Hou Ye glanced at them with a cold face, sighed and left. Where did the Hou Mansion give them in Madame's hand, it was clear that Xi Yunjian wanted Madame to say so, and I don't know what that kid liked about this girl, so he actually took out almost all of his savings over the years. thought that his dignified Huai'an Hou's righteous son actually fell in love with such a girl, and what made him even more unhappy was that other girls still didn't look down on his son! Thanks to Madame's good temper, if he had been in a hurry.
Xi Cui held the box, and her heart was full of flavors. Madame really treats herself sincerely, looking at the world, how can there be a master marrying a daughter specially preparing silver taels for the wedding maid? I don't know how to tell you to be careful, and it's good to keep to yourself. Thinking about how much he had complained to his wife because of the redemption before, he was suddenly ashamed, and immediately knelt on his knees, kowtowed three times, and said, "Madame, don't worry, Xi Cui will definitely swear to protect Miss Thoroughly." ”
Madame pulled her to her feet and opened her mouth to explain, but she did not speak. After a pause, he just told her some of the contingencies that she should have in dealing with others, and told her to ask Mama Wu more about everything. As for Ximei, as long as she doesn't betray Miss, she can do whatever she wants. Even when my aunt is well and needs to have a room, if Mrs. Wang hits Xi Cui's idea, ask her to find a way to hand Ximei over. Madame's order made Xi Cui's heart tremble for a while, could it be that she decided to bring Ximei with her later to protect herself? This kind of grace is simply heaven and earth for a slave and maid, is this a lady who wants to repay the favor with her own life? But what can she do? Thinking that she was going to kneel again, fortunately, Mrs. had already taken precautions to pull her back.
Madame went to see the young lady, leaving Mama Wu to continue to tell Xi Cui about the situation of the Wang family. It turns out that this Wang family is not simple, Wang Shangshu is the head of the family, Wang Liu's is the main house, there are three aunts below, and it is said that there are several rooms. It's a pity that none of these women came out, only Wang Shaoyan, who was born to Wang Liu, a son, and two girls who were also born by Wang Liu. These two girls don't need to pay much attention, they are both of marriage age, and they will marry this year. Although Wang Liu is the head of the Wang family, she is not the most favored, and the most talkative in the Wang family is Aunt Yang, it is said that she is two months pregnant, although she is pregnant with a son and daughter is still uncertain, but after all, it is the hope of the Wang family, and this must not be offended. In addition, there is an old lady above the Wang family, although this perennial retreat in the Huangjue Temple outside the city, but the old lady will still take care of any major matters in the house. There is also a person who is a special existence in the Wang family, this person is the brother of Wang Liu's family, he has followed him since Wang Shangshu started from scratch, he broke a leg for his brother-in-law, Wang Shangshu has been raising their family in the house with this kindness. Now his two sons are with Wang Shangshu, and a daughter is also raised with Wang Liu's own girl. These children have no distinction between master and servant in the Wang family, it is said that Wang Liu had intended to make his niece a daughter-in-law, if it weren't for the fact that only the Hou Mansion had a thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum that could save her son's life, she was afraid that she would have let the woman pass over to her son to rejoice.
Mama Wu said it for nearly an hour before Xi Cui had a general idea in her mind, but she still didn't remember the names of these people clearly, listening to Mama Wu say it to herself one by one when she was old, Xi Cui once again respected this dedicated mama.
When she returned to Miss's room again, Miss had already fallen asleep on the soft chair, and I don't know who put a soft pillow for her to protect her hair, otherwise she would have been worried about combing her hair.
The first rooster crowed, and a few makeup mammies rushed in, checking the lady's makeup, arranging her hair, and touching up her makeup. Fortunately, it was cleaned up before sunrise, because her lips were stained with rouge, and Miss couldn't eat or drink water, and Xi Cui didn't dare to eat in front of her for fear of Miss screaming, so she was hungry with her.
There was a sound of blowing and beating outside, and Xi Yunting finally felt a little energetic, and pulled Xi Cui to go out to see. Xi Cui had to coax her with a reason, and it was easy for her to cover her head Xi Cui sat down, and finally waited to go out......
The sound of frolicking outside was getting closer and closer, Xi Cui hurriedly stood up, Xi Yunting lifted her hijab and looked at Xi Yunjian who came in, "Brother, do you think I look good?" Xi Cui said that it will be covered later, and no one can look at it, I want to ask my father and mother to take a look again, Xi Cui said that it will be this once in a lifetime. ”
"Here, let Daddy see! How beautiful my good daughter is! Hou Ye's voice was obviously a little astringent, and it was Madame who came in after him. The two came to Xi Yunting and looked at their daughter in front of them, as if they couldn't see enough.
Outside, Xi Po began to urge, and the lady slowly put down her daughter's hijab, Xi Yunjian bent down and squatted in front of her sister, "Sister come up, brother carries you out." ”
Xi Yunting has liked to call Xi Yunjian back since she was a child, so she naturally couldn't ask for it, so she pounced on it all of a sudden, and the red hijab was almost lifted off. Xi Yunjian got up and saw Xi Cui following behind him, just paused and stepped out. Outside, the auspicious words of Xi Po were shouted loudly, and the sound of welcoming relatives sounded again, Xi Yunting was carefully put into the sedan chair, and the firecrackers rang out, so it was not lively. Xi Cui looked at the man riding on the head horse in front of the team, dressed in a big red wedding robe, wearing a red flower and thanking everyone, such a tall back, it must not be Wang Shaoyan, the real groom doesn't know if he can worship the church.
How many of the congratulatory crowds around them were genuinely blessed? The stupid young lady is married to the sick young master, and this matter is finally finalized in their gossip.
The sedan chair was lively all the way to Wang's house, and the red lantern was hung at the door, and there was a deafening sound of firecrackers. The father and son of the Wang family stood at the door facing the sedan chair, and Xi Cui looked at his uncle's pale face. Is he going to worship in person?
After the sedan chair landed, Wang Shaoyan walked over, kicked the sedan door, lifted the sedan curtain, and smiled at the woman in red inside, "Yun Ting, can I take you home?" It was still the spring breeze of peace news, Xi Yunting immediately smiled when she heard his voice, and put her hand in his hand. Mama said that she could only speak when she entered the new house, but she really wanted to talk to her brother in the Wang family. But she held back.
Taking into account Wang Shaoyan's body, the worship went quickly, and after the ceremony was completed, Wang Shaoyan personally took Xi Yunting to the new house. Xi Cui followed behind them, she could see that her uncle's body had begun to shake, but he was still insisting, so he liked Miss, right?
Ximei reluctantly twisted her waist, looking at the couple in front of her with even more disdain, in her eyes, this uncle was short-lived at first glance, and she had to pull herself to accompany the funeral, she couldn't bury herself like this, she was still young and so beautiful. No, she must find a way out for herself.
Entering the new room, the two sat on the edge of the bed, Xi Cui handed over the gold scale, and the groom took off the hijab. Xi Po came up and handed over the wine, but in fact, there was only tea in it, and Wang Shaoyan couldn't drink at this time. Xi Yunting obediently finished drinking, and was going to eat half-baked dumplings, but asked Wang Shaoyan to stop her. Xi Po didn't say much, and slowly retreated. Only Yun Ting was left in the new house, Wang Shaoyan and Xi Cui, and when Ximei was happy, Wang Shaoyan finally relaxed and leaned on the edge of the bed, looking very tired.
Xi Yunting took his hand with concern, "Brother Wang, what's wrong with you?" Tired? Didn't you sleep last night? Wang Shaoyan looked at her with a smile, "Silly girl, you can't call the Wang family brother in the future, we have already married, and you will call me Xianggong in the future." ”
"Xianggong is very good, it is more convenient than the brother of the Wang family to call it." Yun Ting stood up and walked around the room, "Is this where I want to live in the future?" It's all red, and I like blue. ”
"It doesn't matter, you can make it whatever color you like, it's up to you?" Xi Cui has been looking at Wang Shaoyan, once upon a time the future she dreamed of was like this. A courteous husband like the son of the Wang family, an ordinary but warm family, I didn't expect all of this to be realized in the young lady...... Very good......
The outside of the new house began to be lively again, as if it was the voice of Princess Chaoyang, and sure enough, after the door opened, Princess Chaoyang walked in. Behind her were several women in the shape of women. Wang Liu was also inside, she didn't even look at Xi Yunting, and when she saw that her son had a bad face, she quickly sat down and asked.
Princess Chaoyang seemed to ignore this, pulled Yun Ting and sat down on the chair, and when she saw that Xi Cui didn't follow, she glared at her girl before she went to pull Xi Cui over. "Yun Ting doesn't understand, you bother with a little bit." She looked back at the group of women who were circling around Wang Liu's family, "It's all worry-free, be careful not to ask Yun Ting to deceive them." Wang Shaoyan is a good one, Yun Ting will not suffer if he follows him, but his mother is really not good. You have to have a number in mind. ”
Xi Cui looked at her and nodded with a smile, it seemed that this princess really took Yun Ting to heart. Originally, a woman like Yun Ting should be loved, and Xi Cui has always thought so.
After those women cared about Wang Shaoyan's body, they all came over to see the bride, Yun Ting smiled and saluted everyone according to Xi Cui's instructions, but did not speak. looks like a dignified lady, everyone can't believe their eyes, could it be that Miss Xi's stupid rumors are not credible? Wang Liu naturally wouldn't give them a chance to find out the truth, so after a few words of greeting, he took people out. Princess Chaoyang didn't have much to stay, so she could only go out with her.
Before going out, Wang Liu looked back at Xi Cui, "The young master is tired, I will ask someone to send the medicine later, you will wait for the young master to rest for a while after watching the young master drink it." If your young lady is hungry, go to the kitchen and order a call to bring the meal, the time is still early, I am afraid that someone will come over in a while, you serve snacks, don't let people underestimate it. ”
Xi Cui bowed and said.
After the door was closed, Xi Cui walked to Wang Shaoyan's side, "Uncle, do you want to change your clothes first?" ”
"No need, I'll drink it when the medicine is delivered, and I'll just lie down for a while. You put down the curtain and don't worry about me, everyone who can come in here understands the situation and won't say anything. He said and stretched out his hand to ask Xi Cui to help him sit down, "Xi Cui, I know what you are like by Yun Ting's side, and I also know the purpose of your mother bringing you over, but there are some things that must be made clear to you, and I will naturally be good to her since I marry Yun Ting." Even if he really needs to find another woman to reproduce heirs one day, I won't touch the people around Yun Ting. ”
After listening to him, Xi Cui heard Mama Wu breathe a deep sigh of relief before she could say anything. After everyone's eyes were on Mama Wu, the old man smiled with a red face for the first time. It seems that this uncle is a good one, at least Xi Yunjian should rest assured, of course, this sentence Mama Wu only dared to say in her heart.
There was a knock on the door, and a gentle voice came in from outside the door, "Cousin, is my cousin resting?" My sister brought the medicine to my cousin......
