The wedding date is approaching, and the upper and lower are preparing for it, red can be seen everywhere in the house, and the festive atmosphere permeates the entire summer house, and relatives from afar have rushed to the summer mansion of Yuedu after receiving the invitation, and the daily is extremely lively.
On this day, Xia Yimeng was bored with melon seeds and chatting with the seven aunts and eight aunts, and the family of the Chengwang Mansion sent her a wedding dress to try on, Xia Yimeng was stunned the moment she saw the wedding dress.
The wedding dress is composed of two parts, inside is a red juan yarn gold silk embroidered long skirt, the skirt shows a hundred flowers in full bloom, the tail skirt is three feet long to the ground, the edge is embroidered with gold thread with cumbersome patterns inlaid with five-colored gemstones, covered with a crimson double peacock embroidered cloud gold silk luoxia tent, the peacock embroidery is lifelike as if it is about to fly out.
"Miss, come back to the room with me to try on the wedding dress."
Jane tugged at the cuffs of Laxia Yimon.
Xia Yimeng was so amazed that she couldn't even speak, was such a beautiful wedding dress really for her?
"Miss, have you eaten fat in the past two days, why is it so difficult to wear clothes that are obviously made according to your size."
Xiao Zhen, who was trying to tie Xia Yimeng's Liuyun Veil Su Xiu Phoenix belt, couldn't help but complain.
Xia Yimeng also felt that her skirt was a little tight, so she tried hard to collect her abdomen, it must have been too lazy for the past two days and she hadn't practiced.
There are only three days left before the day of marriage, and now it is too late for people to change the wedding dress, Xia Yimeng had to order someone to reply to the family of the palace that the wedding dress fits very well.
Today is Qixi Festival, after dinner, Xia Yimeng can't wait to pull Xia An out of the summer house, every year on Qixi Festival, she will wear a mask with Xia An to go to the street to watch lanterns and guess word puzzles, put Kong Ming lanterns to enjoy fireworks, and this year is no exception.
Looking at the infatuated men and women coming and going on the street, Xia Yimeng was very emotional, and she used to pull her beloved through the crowd with a smile on her face like these people.
"Xiaomeng, slow down, be careful not to be touched."
Xia An tightly held the hand of Xia Yimeng, who was walking in front of him, for fear that he would be scattered by the crowd if he was not careful.
Xia Yimeng happily looked east and west, and when he saw the novelty he liked, he pestered Xia An to buy it for her, Xia An had no choice but to pay the money obediently, and after being a rich man, he had to be a coolie, and after a while, his hands were full of miscellaneous small things.
Unconsciously, the two of them followed the crowd to the Yuelao Temple, where exquisite red lanterns were hung outside, and people who came to ask for marriage lined up in a long line.
The little girl selling flowers carried a basket of flowers and walked through the crowd with light steps, and the camellia flowers were shining with crystal dewdrops.
"Brother, do you want to buy flowers?"
The little girl in the pink dress walked up to Xia Yimeng and Xia An, raised her immature little face, and asked expectantly.
Xia Yimeng picked up a red camellia and put it in front of her nose, the faint fragrance of flowers was intoxicating, she turned her head and looked at Xia An with the same expectant eyes, Xia An reluctantly took out ten cents from the money bag and gave it to the little girl, in fact, a flower doesn't cost ten cents, but he saw that the little girl was very cute and gave more.
"Brother, you can help me put it on."
Xia Yimeng smiled happily and showed her white teeth.
"How old are you, why do you still like everything you see as you did when you were a child."
Although Xia An complained, she still gently inserted the flower on Xia Yimeng's head, and looked left and right after inserting it, for fear that she would not insert it well enough.
Xia Yimeng happily wrapped her arms around Xia An's arm and said coquettishly; "No matter how old I am, I'm your sister."
