Chapter 176: Make-up
It's early April.
It is the grass grows and the warbler flies, and in the spring and Jingming season, the families in the city hold banquets every now and then, or feasts in the garden of the mansion, or take a boat ride on the Qingxi River in the suburbs to swim in the lake.
Everyone knows that Jin Yi and Jin Ru are in the boudoir to be married, and they will definitely not go out, but one of them will be Princess Chuchen soon, and the other will be the Duchess of Zhongyi in the future.
The two of them can receive invitations from You Chun almost every day, and Jinru is very moved, but she can only endure it.
Seeing that the day of welcoming is approaching day by day, Qin Zhiyuan has returned from Biyun Temple, and Jinxuan has also taken leave from the Ministry of Industry.
On the side of the Qingrong Marquis Mansion, Xie brought many stewards and subordinates in the mansion over to help Zhang Luo.
Early in the morning of the eighth day of the new year, the ladies of the Fan Mansion of the Zuo Xiang Fan Mansion of the Jinru family arrived. Mrs. Ying personally combed Jinru's hair, and was busy explaining today's matters.
In the future of the An family, Qin Lian followed the Xie family over and accompanied Jin Yi in the Jinru room, and Miss Fan San, Min Peng, and three or four other sisters from the Fan family were also there.
Listening to Mrs. Ying's various explanations, all the women were speechless and whispered with a smile.
Mrs. Ying smiled and said to Jinyi: "Sister Yi, you have to study on the side today, and it will be you next month." ”
Jin Yi watched Mrs. Ying comb all Jinru's hair, pull it into a bun, put on a red wedding dress, a phoenix crown, and her delicate and bright face showed a mature charm, and she was happy for her in her heart, and she was a little envious.
Lord Yunhui walked in, looked at the bride with a smile for a while, and showed her the addition box of Princess Chuchen, who has now been renamed Concubine Chuchen, to Jinru, which contained the head of twelve gold chisel flowers inlaid with rubies.
Yun Hui gave her the share she had prepared, and said with an interestful smile: "When the little grandfather and them come, I have to embarrass him, and I have found a good helper." ”
Before going out to the sedan chair, the groom should bring the groomsmen to make up. The woman wants to ask the married sisters to block the drive, Yunhui has participated in several banquets in the city these days, and among the ladies of the family who came to the wedding banquet today, she has specially told a few young grandmothers and young ladies who are familiar with each other.
Jinru was full of worries, "Sister Yunhui, don't go overboard when you wait." ”
"I'm not going to hit him with a broom,...... Even if you do, you can't break it, so don't worry. Yun Hui replied nonchalantly, looking eager to try.
Mrs. Ying smiled and persuaded her: "It is auspicious to make trouble when urging makeup, if you let the groom be so light, you won't feel sorry for you if you marry in the future." ”
Jinru blushed and stopped talking, and sat down in front of the couch with her head down.
The groom came early today, bringing the newly promoted King of Chuchen, Sima Yulou, as the best man, and a large group of familiar children of the family behind him. After meeting Qin Zhiyuan and Jin Xuan, he went to the banquet with the guests.
When it was time to make trouble, Zu Juntian was drenched in red face, and Xie ordered someone to bring him a bowl of sobering soup, and after drinking, it was almost time to go out.
Zu Jun Tianzhi proudly pulled Sima Yulou and went to urge makeup under the guards of everyone.
Jin Ru sat on the couch in the room accompanied by the sisters, Yun Hui and three or five young ladies locked the door tightly, everyone was nervous and funny, Min Peng leaned against the window, secretly lifted the corner of the curtain to look at the courtyard, turned around and said nervously: "Come, come." ”
Jin Yi leaned aside and looked out, and saw Zu Juntian wearing a dark color dress with a red belt around his waist, striding into the courtyard, and everyone behind him was shouting: "The makeup is coming, open the door quickly." ”
Sima Yulou walked beside him, wearing civilian clothes, a lake blue plate silk straight jacket, and a white jade seal around his waist. Since returning from Biyun Temple that day, the two have never met again, but the last time the ancestral family came to hire, Jin Yi secretly glanced at him in the house.
Zu Juntian came to the door, pushed the door, found that it was tightly closed, and was about to speak, when seven or eight festively dressed mothers-in-law and maids rushed over from the porch on both sides of the door, all holding brooms in their hands, and called at them.
These people have all been rewarded by the county lord of Yunhui today, and it is good to make a fuss when they make up the makeup, thinking that they can still get a reward for beating the little grandfather today, they are all excited.
In the room, Yunhui and several ladies saw through the window, and they all leaned forward and clapped their hands with laughter, and the children of the family in the courtyard also laughed and messed up.
Jin Yi could see clearly, when a mother-in-law was holding a broom and walking towards Sima Yulou, he quickly grabbed Zu Juntian and blocked him in front of him.
Fortunately, the broom is not the kind that sweeps the floor on weekdays, it is all freshly tied with grain grass, and it doesn't hurt to hit the body and head, and the people don't dare to really kill it, Zu Juntian was swept away with rice shards, and he didn't forget to complain about Sima Yulou in a hurry, "I called you here today to let you help me shake the scene, and you use me as a shield......
After making a fuss for a while, Yun Huicai opened the door happily and said proudly: "Hurry up and get the makeup money, if you don't have 10,000 dollars, don't want to take the bride away today!" ”
Sima Yulou hurriedly took out the make-up money box that had been prepared for him in advance and handed it to Zu Juntian.
Zu Juntian stepped forward with a smile, Yun Hui opened the door wider, and was about to reach out to get it, but the people outside the door were noisy and had pushed the door open.
As soon as everyone rushed in, they saw that the door of the bride in the east house was still tightly closed, but in front of them were a group of young ladies who were smiling and pretending to be annoyed.
Zu Juntian presented the money box with both hands, and smiled and begged for mercy to Yun Hui and the others.
Everyone didn't follow it, and after making trouble for a long time, they made up two more boxes before they stopped.
Yun Hui said with a smile, "This first gate is passed, and then you come to recite ten or eight hypnotic poems, and we will be merciful, count you over, how about it?" ”
When Zu Juntian heard that he had to carry so much, he begged with a sad face, but the ladies just smiled and did not agree. He had no choice but to go to Sima Yulou and whispered in his ear, "You go and persuade the county lord to spare me, or I will take revenge when you welcome me in person next month." ”
Sima Yulou raised his eyebrows and laughed, and lowered his voice again, "I am giving marriage, who dares to make trouble?" Do you dare? ”
Zu Juntian frowned, fortunately, he loved to associate with literati and scholars, so he recited three or four songs, and Sima Yulou helped on the side, "Yunhui, it's okay, you see how sincere the little grandfather is, and if it's too late, he will miss the auspicious time." ”
The crowd stopped embarrassing him, and Mrs. Ying opened the door in the east room, but did not let anyone in, and turned around and shouted inside: "The makeup urger is here, the bride is making up!" ”
In the house, Jinru's dowry Pei Mama chanted and sang to make up for her again, and gently covered her head with the big red pin Jin Xipa.
The sisters had retreated behind the sliding. Before leaving, Jin Yi carefully grabbed Jin Ru's shoulders and hugged her gently. Jinru took her hand and held it tightly, with a happy smile in her eyes.
Jin Xuan walked in and looked at her sister, who had covered Xipa, who was sitting upright in front of the couch with her hands clasped on her knees.
Jin Xuan's eyes were full of reluctance, and there was a joyful noise all around, and a smile gradually appeared on his lips, and he stepped forward, picked up Jin Ru, and strode out. (To be continued.) )
