On the eighth day of the eighth month of August, on the fourth watch, candles were lit in the courtyards of the people of Guangping Houfu, and a quarter of an hour later, the courtyards were also lit up. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The people who come and go are very light on their hands and feet, but there is an atmosphere of euphoria.

Mei also got up under the service of the maids, rinsed her mouth, and let them dress her up, "Is the eldest lady's Baiyu Jinxuan light on?" ”

"Just the slave maid took a look, Mother Qi and they were already up." Yahuan replied crisply.

Mei Shi didn't say anything anymore, but he didn't feel at ease in the end, and after dressing up, he took Chen's mother to Baiyu Jinxuan.

"Say hello to my mother." When Jiang Yingrong saw Mei's arrival, she blessed her body and asked her to say goodbye, and the maids and her mother in the courtyard also saluted.

"Is Hua Niang up?" Mei looked around and found that although the courtyard was lit with candles, the maids who came and went almost didn't make a sound, even if they were to say goodbye to her, they were soft, so cautious, Mei knew that Shu Yanhua hadn't gotten up yet.

The daughter-in-law just went to the inner room to take a look, and Hua Niang was still asleep. The daughter-in-law thought that when the auspicious time was in Shenshi, it was still early, and she was afraid that she would call Hua Niang too early, and she would be out of energy in the middle of the afternoon, so let her sleep a little longer. Jiang Yingrong explained softly.

Mei frowned slightly, then stretched her brows again, and asked instead, "Is the hot water boiling in the kitchen?" ”

Mother Qi stepped forward and replied, "Back to Mrs., the hot water in the small kitchen is already boiling." ”

Mei Shi bowed slightly when he heard this, "How much of the fragrance of the petals collected yesterday remains?" If the fragrance doesn't have much, let the maids pick the new petals now, and wait for Hua Niang to get up and give her a bath with the petals. ”

It's still dark and sloppy, what petals are you picking now, how can you see it? Jiang Yingrong smiled and said: "Mother, I have picked three baskets of petals yesterday, and all the osmanthus flowers that bloom in the right season in the house have been picked, and they are all saved, and my daughter-in-law also took a look at it just now, and the fragrance is strong." ”

Mei glanced at Jiang Yingrong lightly, this glance made Jiang Yingrong feel like she was drumming in her heart, the smile on her face was slightly retracted, and she pursed her lips and stopped talking.

Mei began to instruct again: "Even if the auspicious time is in Shenshi, Hua Niang still has to get up to wash, wear auspicious clothes and dress up, and go to the ancestral hall to worship the ancestors, everyone has to be sharp in their hands and feet, and when the time is almost up, they will call Hua Niang to get up." ”

Mother Qi took a group of maids to respond in a low voice, there are still a lot of things to be busy in the Hou Mansion today, in addition to the wine banquet set up by the five princes, the Hou Mansion of Guangping also has to entertain relatives and friends who came to the Hou Mansion to watch the ceremony today, and the Mei family has to take care of them one by one, and after the Mei family gave some instructions, he left with people.

When Mei left with someone, Qi's mother asked Jiang Yingrong in a low voice, "Grandma, when will you wake up Miss?" ”

The meaning of Madame's words just now is actually to let them wake up the young lady earlier, compared to Madame, it is naturally the eldest young grandmother who can reassure Mother Qi more.

"Let Hua Niang continue to sleep, and wake her up when she usually gets up, if she doesn't sleep well, I'm afraid she won't have energy at night, and she will be tired all day today."

Speaking of this, Jiang Yingrong's face flushed slightly, so that Mother Qi, who had come over, understood what she meant in an instant, and nodded again and again, "What the young grandmother said is very right, if you don't have the spirit, the candles in the cave room at night will ......."

It's not good to talk about it, so Mother Qi simply didn't say anything, and let the girls be quieter between actions.

Shu Yanhua had a good night's sleep, neither nervous nor suffering from gains and losses, when did she wake up on weekdays, and it was the same today.

When she woke up and rinsed her mouth, she filled her stomach with some snacks, and was surrounded by Qi's mother, Dong'er and others and walked to the clean room.

After changing three buckets of water, until the fragrance of osmanthus was infected all over her body, Shu Yanhua walked out of the clean room in her bedclothes.

At this time, it was already the middle of the year, and the bride had already come to the Hou Mansion, and when Shu Yanhua returned to the inner room, the bride said to her with a smile: "Say hello to the princess, the princess is overjoyed, I wish the princess and the fifth highness to grow old together, give birth to a noble son early, and be happy." ”

Even if it is the most ordinary kind words, Shu Yanhua smiled genuinely on her face, "Reward!" ”

Dong'er immediately took out five taels of silver to Xi Niang, and the good words in Xi Niang's mouth were thrown out without stopping.

When Shu Yanhua sat in front of the dressing mirror, Xi Niang stopped her mouth and began to open her face to the princess with a very good look.

Xi Niang is used to doing this kind of thing, and the movements of her hands are very fast, even so, when she stopped, Shu Yanhua's face was still red.

"Clear water out of hibiscus, natural carving." Shu Yanqiao exclaimed.

"There are beautiful women in the north, peerless and independent. One look at the city, and then look at the country. Jiang Yingrong sighed.

"If you increase one point, it will be too long, if you subtract one point, it will be too short, if you add one point, it will be too white, and if you apply it, it will be too red. The eyebrows are like green feathers, the muscles are like snow, the waist is like bundles, and the teeth are like braided shells. Second Aunt Shu Jiang also unconsciously chanted a poem.

The hostesses of the Hou Mansion who were watching the bride open her face for Shu Yanhua saw Shu Yanhua who was slightly lowered her head and her face flushed, and she couldn't help chanting these verses.

When Shu Yanhua heard this, she smiled a little shyly, which made Shu Yanqiao's eyes stunned, "Looking back and smiling, the eldest brother-in-law will come over to see the appearance of the eldest sister, don't you want to be stunned?" ”

"Hahaha......"

A room full of women, both real and fake, all laughed and joked.

"Our Hua Niang has such a demeanor, how can His Royal Highness still move his feet after seeing it?"

"Ouch, don't say that His Royal Highness Fifth can't move his feet, I can't move my feet now."

"That's it, that's it, I thought I saw a fairy just now, and I didn't blink my eyes when I saw it."

"Aren't you a fairy now?"

"It's a fairy now, wait a minute, it's more beautiful than a fairy!"

Everyone laughed for a while, not daring to make too much trouble, and asked Xi Niang to hurry up and continue to dress up Shu Yanhua.

Xi Niang glanced at Shu Yanhua with a smile and asked, "Princess, do you think you use your own rouge gouache?" ”

When Dong'er heard this, she took out a box from the dresser and opened it, pointed it to Xi Niang in the same way, and told her the purpose of these rouge gouaches.

After the bride dressed up Shu Yanhua, she picked up a jade comb and began to comb her hair, chanting sentence by sentence:

"Once you comb your hair, you don't have to worry about being rich;

The second comb is combed to the hair, disease-free and worry-free;

Three combs to the hair, many sons and many longevity;

then comb to the end, raise the case and raise the eyebrows;

The second comb is combed to the tail, and the wings fly together;

Three combs to the end, forever knotted with one heart.

There is a head and a tail, rich and noble. ”
