Zhu is the positive color, and purple is the variegated color.

In the Analects, there is "the evil purple seizes Zhu Ye, and the evil Zheng Sheng's rebellion Yale Ye", which says that the gentleman hates heresy and replaces orthodoxy.

As a maidservant, the clothes worn by the Yue Nu are trimmed with purple satin, which is in line with etiquette.

But what Xie Wu didn't understand was why Yue Nu was dressed so solemnly.

The meaning of the beautiful acacia leaves, the honorific title of the awe of the servants, and the solemn arrangement of the sùmu that you see when you wake up from a dream...... A thought came to mind after realizing it - could it be that Jing Xuan really planned to marry her?

Xie Wei hugged his knees for a moment, and then for a moment, he really couldn't believe this conjecture, but the more he thought about it, the more he felt that this conjecture was not bad at all.

Seeing that she was speechless, Yue Nu only thought that the girl was shy before she got married, and she didn't take it to heart, so she turned around and called the maid outside.

It seems that everyone thinks that this matter is very ordinary, but everyone forgets to solemnly inform Xie Wei about it, and it turns out that she, the bride, is the latest to know about her marriage.

A total of five maids came in, standing outside the curtain and saluting, one by one, kneeling in a row, the brocade plate in their hands held high above their heads, and the dark brocade trimmed with vermilion trim in the plate hung down four corners, covering the faces of several maids.

"The concubine changes and grooms the lady." The Yue Nu took the dress and spread it in her hand, the black waves of the dark robe shook off, and the vermilion brocade was like blood, and it was like a gorgeous petal.

Xie Wei half-squinted at this set of dresses, the color was extremely positive, the satin was dark, and if you looked closely, it was a dark red silk thread embroidered with cloud patterns, dignified and elegant, more solemn and elegant than the dress she had worn before and at the ceremony.

Yue Nu didn't think she was worried about speaking, so she thought she was acquiescing, and came up to change her clothes without a sound, and carefully smoothed out every wrinkle.

The soft and cold silk satin slid across his fingertips, and he came back to his senses, and when he turned his eyes, he saw his slightly pale face reflected in the polished silver mirror.

Yue Nu held a small pen and carefully dyed her pale red lips with cinnabar. The face of the person in the mirror also added a bit of brilliance, showing the bright appearance of a girl.

After tapping her lips, Yue Nu used charcoal and dai powder to outline a pair of thin eyebrows for her, and the eyebrows were slightly undulating. seems to be smiling and sorrowful, and it is a perfect match for a pair of misty eyes that relieve worry.

Yue Nu praised in a low voice: "Madame's appearance is better than Xizi." ”

The beautiful Xi Shi is the pride of the Yue people, but the Yue Nu looked at the girl who was a little absent-minded in front of her, and felt that she was even more moving than Xizi.

Relieved by a smile indifferently. She has always only cared about whether her disguise is properly drawn, but she has no intention of paying attention to this real appearance—she is unwilling to serve Israel, even if she has a good face, what is the use?

Yue Nu knew that she was silent in the past, but now she saw that although she responded with a smile, she still looked light, and she didn't dare to talk to her constantly, so she just put her hair in a bun and sent a handful of maids out.

The curtain flickered. She brought in a woman who was nearly forty years old, dressed similarly to Mei Ji and Yan Fei, and most likely a woman who taught the manners of noble women.

Xie Wei remembered yesterday's unhappiness, frowned, and was about to turn his back, when he heard the Yue Nu say softly: "Madam, this is the matchmaker, and I will do the business of teaching and praising the ceremony." ”

The matchmaker also stepped forward to salute, "Madam." ”

Xie Wei pursed his lips and nodded reservedly.

The ancients valued marriage. As early as the Zhou Dynasty, matchmakers were set up to take charge of the marriage of men and women, and they were able to obtain a certain amount of money, and they were veritable public servants. This shows that the ancients attached great importance to marriage.

Those who were appointed as matchmakers were succeeded from generation to generation, and over time, they took official positions as their clans, and were called "matchmakers".

"Tsukasa Ziyun, although Mrs. was born in the Qing family, she has been lonely and adrift since she was a child. There are many negligences in etiquette, so the concubines are sent to teach them. The matchmaker looked at the dressed girls in front of him with admiration, the people of Chu are open, most of the girls who are married are lively, less shy, to say that the bride she has seen in half her life belongs to the one in front of her who has that dignified and demure state, and she really deserves to be a noble girl in the Central Plains, and this all-round bearing is really admirable.

Xie Wumu nodded, a stiff smile on the corner of her lips, if it weren't for the blinking of her two eyes from time to time, she felt that she was about to petrify.

In the eleventh year of coming to this strange world, she felt so restrained for the first time, as if she was tightly pulled by a rope around her, and she would touch it with a slight gesture.

Such a cumbersome etiquette, after experiencing it herself, will know how big it is, you can't make a mistake, you can't say a word, so she pursed her lips and remained silent.

She didn't listen to what the matchmaker said endlessly, and occasionally listened to it, but it only turned around in her head, and it didn't take half a moment to leave it behind.

It's like spending the whole afternoon on pins and needles.

At dusk, Xie was allowed to leave the house by the matchmaker.

She had been in the house for two days, and now she saw the long-lost daylight, and couldn't help but take a deep breath and turn her eyes to look at the courtyard.

The corners of the courtyard under the corridor are full of lanterns, even the mountain magnolia in the courtyard and the green bamboo outside the courtyard are hung with red gauze lanterns, the carved railing is full of vermilion satin, and the flying eaves are hung down with red knots.

But this excitement seems to have nothing to do with her, Xie Wei shook her head, knowing that she would be pushed to attend the wedding, why was she completely indifferent in her heart?

Naturally, there would be no such joy of getting married, but she didn't feel that she should run away either—perhaps because she knew that she couldn't escape at this time.

In short, she looked at the lively courtyard, as well as the gorgeous and dignified dress on her body, she only felt that she was having an inconsequential dream, looking at the joys and sorrows of others, she was in a trance, what she saw and heard, but she didn't go to her heart at all.

The matchmaker followed closely beside Xie Wu, looked sideways at the girl who looked trance-like, without sadness or joy, and sighed lowly.

According to the ceremony, the first step of this marriage ceremony is to "welcome in person", but I heard that the bride's family died, and her mother was the only one left, so the etiquette had to be simplified according to personnel changes, and this step was directly skipped.

And because Jiuzhi is a place of seclusion and refuge, there is nowhere to feast on relatives and friends; On the temple, it is impossible to worship; Even the person who presided over this set of etiquette cannot be found at the moment.

Jing Xuan had to ask the matchmaker, who was familiar with the wedding, to be the celebrant, so that he could ask Huang Yao to be the officiant, and there were several elders in the Zhuang clan as witnesses.

Judging from the etiquette and system alone, it is a grievance for anyone to put this simple wedding on anyone's girl, but the matchmaker sees Jing Xuan's busyness in the past two days - in order to arrange the next decent wedding as much as possible, he has really tried his best.
