84. The national color is fragrant
"Wait, wait, I'll do it myself." Su Xi is not used to being touched, she usually washes herself in the bath, and now she is being held by three grandmothers she doesn't know, her body has been seen and not to mention, the strength in their hands is not small, Su Xi's body is delicate and tender, where can she withstand their rubbing like this, and after a while, her body will be red.
Seeing that the grandmother in the middle was about to wipe her chest, Su Xi hurriedly shrank into the water, protected a pair of peaches, opened her misty eyes, and tried to make her voice sound majestic: "You all go out, I'll come by myself." ”
The three grandmothers glanced at each other and said, "But the eldest lady is there......"
Su Xi said: "I'll tell my mother." ”
The three grandmothers saw her insistence, and then walked out. I couldn't help but think at the same time, in fact, the nine girls' thin skin and tender flesh are as white as water tofu, and they really don't need to be rubbed so hard, but they do rough work all year round, and their strength is greater than ordinary people, even if they try to reduce their strength, they will inevitably hurt her.
Seeing the grandmothers leave, Su Xi breathed a sigh of relief. She raised her arm and looked at it, it was red, and she said in her heart that she was fortunate not to let the grandmother wipe her chest, otherwise according to that strength, she would not be in pain. She pouted, soaked in the water for a while, and when she was almost there, she stood up. She changed into a softer towel, wiped the water droplets on her body, and looked down at her pair of peaches, I don't know if it was because of the dance in this life, it seems to be bigger than the previous life...... And there is a tendency to continue to get bigger, she accidentally touched it just now, and it was still astringent and painful.
It's been painful for so long. My mother said that as long as it hurts, it will continue to grow.
After coming out of the bath, Su Xi sat on the beauty couch in a half-old lotus lotus shirt, listened to the oriole holding the impatiens juice, squatted on the pedal and said, "Girl, the slave maid will dye your nails." ”
Tomorrow's wedding, every part of the bride's body must be cleaned up exquisitely. Not only to dye nails, but also to incense, skin rejuvenation, whitening and eating five-spice skin penetrating pills. The last few things were prepared three months ago, but this nail was dyed the night before.
Su Xi had a five-spice penetrating pill in his mouth, and his lips and teeth were full of clear and elegant fragrance. She was about to hand her hand to Tingli, when she suddenly remembered that Wei Feng didn't seem to like her dyeing her nails very much, she had dyed them once before, Wei Feng frowned, and said that she was not allowed to dye her nails again in the future. She flattened her mouth, but she was obviously good-looking, how could he manage so much?
After struggling for a moment, Su Xi still withdrew his hand. Suddenly, he raised his little feet and said, "Dye my nails." ”
He only said that he was not allowed to dye his fingernails, but he did not say that he was not allowed to dye his toenails.
Su Xi felt that she was really smart.
She didn't think much about it, she thought that her girls were good-looking everywhere, that is, her hands were not dyed with impatiens, and her nails were moist and beautiful. After a while, after listening to the oriole dyeing his nails, he retreated, Su Xi sat on the couch, and suddenly became idle again, and was thinking about whether he should rest earlier, when he saw his mother Yin open the curtain and walked in.
Su Xi sat up from the couch, "Mother." ”
Yin sat beside her, looked at his delicate daughter, and asked, "Are you all in order?" ”
Su Xi nodded, the things commonly used in her house had been picked up by Tingyan and Tinghe. "Mother, I just drove away those bathing grandmothers...... these are not important words, she said a few words, her heart suddenly felt a little sour, she threw herself into Yin's arms, and said in a childish voice: "My daughter doesn't want to marry tomorrow." ”
"What nonsense." Yin nodded her forehead and said, "Don't say that if you get on the sedan chair tomorrow." ”
Su Xi covered his forehead and said "hmm", but he refused to come out in Yin's arms.
I don't know if it's because the memory of her previous life is too long, or if she really doesn't feel it deeply, anyway, she doesn't have this apprehension. It's clear that they are all married, but she is much more nervous this time. It's like hanging fifteen passes of water in my heart, seven up and eight down. She attributed this to the fact that the family of the Jin Wangfu was deeper than the Luyang Hou Mansion, and Li Yan had no mother at the beginning, but Wei Feng also had a mother-in-law who looked very difficult to get along with.
Yin made trouble with her for a while, and then called her up and said, "I'm going to get married tomorrow, and I'm still coquettish today." Okay, young and good, mother, I have something for you to see. ”
Su Xi sat up straight and saw Mama Lu beside the Yin family take out a yellowed booklet from the red sandalwood carved box. She recognized this thing, when she married Li Yan, Yin took this booklet for her to read. It was precisely because she knew what was inside that she immediately blushed her cheeks.
Yin handed it to her and said: "It teaches some ways of husband and wife, you can see for yourself, it will be good for your life after you get married." Seeing that Su Xi took the booklet, she said: "Mother will go back first, Ming'er will get up early in the morning, don't read too late, rest early." ”
Su Xi hurriedly grabbed the corner of Yin's clothes, and pleaded with his eyes: "Mother, you can talk to me for a while." ”
She felt uneasy, and she was extremely reluctant to think that she would not be able to talk like this to her mother Yin after she got married tomorrow. The Yin family was naturally reluctant to her, but they were worried that she would sleep too late and not be able to get up early tomorrow morning, so they said they would leave.
Seeing her daughter begging, she sat back and said, "What do you want to say to your mother?" ”
Su Xi thought for a while and said, "When my mother married my father, did I see my father's face?" ”
Yin Shi recalled that year and said with a smile: "Naturally, I have seen it, at that time, your father was born tall and big, and the pestle was like a mountain in front of me." Thinking that she was worried, he touched her hair and said, "Don't worry, although you haven't seen much of the prince of Jin, but when he came to the house that day to propose, my mother helped you pay attention to it, and he is excellent in appearance and bearing." Besides, he saved your life before, do you remember? When you went to Qingshui Mountain to learn the piano, you met a refugee, and he rescued you from under the cliff......"
The mother thought that she had no contact with Wei Feng. Not really. Su Xi thought quietly in his heart, if he hadn't been in contact, how could Wei Feng ask the emperor for a marriage?
Su Xi lay on her mother's Yin's lap, listening to her babbling words, holding the yellowed booklet in her hand, and gradually, unconsciously, closed her eyes.
After a while, Yin saw that she didn't move, looked down, and saw that she was asleep with her eyelashes drooping.
Yin shook her head helplessly, asked the maid to come in and put her on the bed, and tucked the quilt corner for her. Seeing that she didn't even open the booklet, she thought about it and put it in the box where Su Xi packed her clothes, and then turned off the lights and left.
*
Before dawn the next day, Su Xi was called out from bed by listening to geese and cranes.
After freshening up, she thought that she might not have time to eat all day today, so she hurriedly asked Tinghe to cook a bowl of mushroom and chicken porridge and a few plates of breakfast.
The third lady Yu Shi smiled and quipped: "The young girl is really calm, she is going to get married, and she is not in a hurry." ”
Su Xi silently put down the chicken porridge, took the handkerchief handed by Tingyan and wiped her mouth, and asked embarrassedly, "Has the third aunt had breakfast?" Do you want to eat a little too? ”
The third lady Yu sighed: "Grandma, don't think about eating, I'm going to open your face soon." ”
Yin smiled helplessly, but he couldn't bear to count her down. It's clear that she's still a little girl who hasn't grown up, and she's going to be a bride for others, and the more she thinks about it, the more reluctant she becomes. Lowering her head and nodding the corner of her eyes without a trace, she went over and said, "It's okay to eat something, but don't drink too much tea." ”
As soon as I got on the sedan chair, I didn't have time to change clothes.
Su Xi sat in front of the bronze mirror, and two grandmothers wearing red armor in the fire came up, holding the silk thread with open face in their hands. One of them leaned on her face and looked at it, but after searching for a long time, she couldn't help but find a single fluff, and couldn't help but exclaim: "The skin of the ninth girl is really good, like a boiled egg with a shell." I don't know if it's because my eyes are spent, you come and see, why can't I see a single fluff? ”
Another grandmother also looked for a long time. The bride who has opened their faces is not a hundred but eighty, and it is not without fluff on their faces, but it is the first time they have encountered this kind of delicate skin, and they can't see a trace of pores. After being surprised, the two of them twisted the meaning of the silk thread, which could be regarded as opening their faces, and finally couldn't help asking: "What does the ninth girl use to wash her face on weekdays?" The old slave went back and let his daughter try it too. ”
Su Xi heard Yu Baotong say that it hurt to open her face, and she was still very worried, but she didn't expect it to feel nothing. She was in a good mood and had a smile on her face: "Just use the water from the well in the yard." ”
The grandmother was quite surprised, and thought that to develop such a skin, even if it was not with flower petal dew, it was also with mountain spring water, but unexpectedly it was ordinary well water. It seems that it has nothing to do with what kind of water is used, it just depends on who God prefers.
After opening your face, you need to put on makeup and comb your hair. Tossing for several hours, Su Xi sat motionless in front of the mirror, sitting with a sore back. After finally dressing up, she looked at the girl in the mirror with her hair combed in a high bun and delicate and gorgeous makeup, and she almost didn't know it.
Su Xi likes to dress plainly on weekdays, does not often apply grease and powder, only occasionally paints eyebrows, or paints some lipstick, not only lightly sweeping Emei, red lips, but also wearing a gold and ruby-inlaid treasure pattern eyebrow pendant in the center of the eyebrows, but also lined with delicate faces, closed moon shy flowers. When the two grandmothers who put on makeup for her saw it, they couldn't help but be stunned, and said honestly: "The old slave has dressed up so many brides, and I have never seen a more beautiful girl than Su Jiu." ”
As soon as she had just finished her makeup, Su Xi was about to change her wedding dress when the sound of firecrackers rang out at the door.
The greeting procession arrived.
Su Xi was inexplicably nervous and grabbed Tingyan's hand.
Hearing Yan hurriedly said, "Don't worry, girl, it's still early." I have to stop the prince for a while, don't be nervous, the slave will take you inside to change your clothes. ”
Su Xi nodded.
At the gate of the Su Mansion here, Su Baiyu was wearing a red robe, and his little face with clear eyebrows and eyes was not happy at all. He didn't want to come out, but his father insisted on pushing him out, saying that he wanted him to stop the groom. He wasn't interested, but it was true that he didn't want Wei Feng to enter the door, because he knew that this person was here to rob his aunt from him, he was reluctant to let his aunt, and he didn't want his aunt to marry.
I saw that Wei Feng outside the door was wearing a scarlet robe with a unicorn pattern round neck, with a long posture and a beautiful appearance, and the cold and noble, fairy-dew-like temperament on weekdays was set off by the red wedding robe, with a little more human touch, and finally fell from the sky into the world. In addition, there is a light smile on his lips, and he is even more handsome and extraordinary, I don't know how many girls have attracted the attention of many girls along the way, and how many girls have envied the nine girls of the Su family who are about to marry him.
Wei Feng walked up to Su Baiyu, took a red envelope from Li Hong's hand and handed it to him, and finally told him clearly, "Brother Bai'er, you should call me uncle in the future, you can't call me brother anymore, remember?" ”
Su Baiyu didn't answer, raised his dark eyes and looked at him silently.
Wei Feng touched his head, "Let me in." ”
When Su Baiyu saw that he was about to take a step, he panicked, and hugged his leg like he had a premonition, and said, "Don't." ”
He didn't want his aunt to be taken away, he didn't like today.
Here, Su Xi changed into her wedding dress and went to the main hall to say goodbye to her parents and elders. Originally, I didn't cry, but when I saw my father and mother, and the silver-haired old ancestor sitting in the Eight Immortals chair, I couldn't help but have red eyes. When she cried, the Yin family naturally couldn't help it, the mother and daughter hugged each other and cried, and even the eldest lord Su Zhen couldn't help but have red eyes.
The third lady Yu Shi hurriedly persuaded: "Sister-in-law, Miss Xi, don't cry, I won't have to cry for a while." Mother, come and persuade too. ”
The old lady nodded the corners of her eyes, "Okay, okay, big day, it's enough to cry for a while, quickly collect your tears." When you arrive at the Jin Palace, you don't want to get rid of Jin Doudou. ”
It had already been urged three times outside the door, and Su Xi cried out of the corners of his eyes, and went back to the house to make up his makeup. The fifth time, he finally covered the gold veil, and the second brother Su Zhi walked out of the Su Mansion on his back and sat on the sedan chair at the door to greet his relatives.
Before he got up from the sedan chair, he saw Su Baiyu's small body rushing out of the door, grabbing the skirt of Su Xi's big red wedding dress, tears rolled down from his eyes one by one, and the first time he saw him crying, he was still crying so heartbroken, "Auntie, aunt don't marry." ”
The tears that Su Xi had just held back almost burst the embankment at this moment. There was no such thing in her previous life, Su Baiyu grew up watching her in this life, she saw Su Baiyu's little hand grabbing her skirt from under Xipa, holding his hand instead, and whispered: "Brother Bai'er, don't cry, my aunt will come back to see you." Next time my aunt comes back, I'll bring you a lot of toys, okay? ”
Su Baiyu shook his head, his face full of tears, "I don't want toys, I want my aunt." ”
If Su Baiyu doesn't let go, the team here can't set off. Su Li was worried that he had missed the auspicious time, so he hurriedly walked out of the crowd and hugged him, and comforted: "Brother Bai'er, don't make trouble, you have grown up, and the man is not happy to shed tears casually." ”
Su Baiyu put his arms around Su Li's neck and watched as the sedan chair was lifted, and the procession to greet relatives went farther and farther away in the sound of gongs and drums. Finally, I couldn't hold back and started crying.
*
Su Xi sat in a sedan chair, holding a sweet white porcelain vase in her hand, listening to Su Baiyu's cry, sniffing, and holding back her tears.
After arriving at the Jin Palace, Quanfu handed the other end of the red silk to her. She got off the sedan chair with her skirt, followed Wei Feng into the house, crossed the saddle, crossed the brazier, and worshiped the hall to get married.
Sitting on the red lacquer relief mandarin duck playing water pattern bed sprinkled with peanuts, lotus seeds, and red dates, Su Xi knew that this was the ladies of the Jin Palace. She lowered her eyes, because she hadn't had much contact with the people in the Jin Palace's mansion before, so she couldn't hear who was who.
She was thinking about it, but she felt that her eyes lit up, and Pinjin Xipa was opened by a jade Ruyi without warning.
Wei Feng stood in front of her, his waist scarf inlaid with a jade belt with a gold and cloud claw pattern, a smile on his lips, his eyes were focused, and he looked at her motionlessly.
Su Xi only glanced at him, and then quickly lowered his eyes.
I'm embarrassed to look at it more.
The ladies in the house also looked at Su Xi, although they had heard that the nine girls of the Su family were beautiful and jade-like before, but when they saw it today, they were still amazed. She was not in the capital for the past three years, and even after she came back, she rarely showed up, and everyone only knew that Fu Yi of the Qingguo Mansion was born beautifully and outstandingly, but they didn't know that the nine girls of the Su family were the national beauty and fragrance.
I heard that he also played a good piano, and was praised by the emperor himself.
It's a pity that they didn't go to the spring hunt, otherwise they could have listened to the song "Return" praised by many talents.
I heard a crisp voice exclaiming: "Sister-in-law is so good-looking." ”
Immediately after Quanfu handed over two glasses of wine, Su Xi and Wei Feng drank face to face, and because Wei Feng still had to go to the front to deal with the guests, he left first.
These female dependents stayed to talk to Su Xi, and after being introduced, Su Xi knew who these people were. The one who praised her just now was Wei Xin, the daughter of the Jin Wang's side concubine Dong, and then Wei Zhaozhao, the daughter of the Jin princess Yuan, as well as the wife of the second master of the Jin Palace, Liao, and other three aunts and six wives.
They didn't stay long, they all left after a conversation.
The new house was quiet, and only she and a few maids were left to marry.
Su Xi finally relaxed, and quickly asked Tingyan to rub her neck that was almost bent. She looked at the big red embroidered gold wedding tent in front of her and the huge candle on the case, listened to the noisy sound outside, and thought that Wei Feng might not come back for a long time, so she asked Tinghe to prepare hot water, and she took a shower to remove her makeup first.
