Chapter 5 Candle Night in the Cave Room
This is the marriage of the young master and young lady who are not valued in the two families, and it should have been fooled at will, but it was unexpectedly grand.
Chu Lingfeng is the bride, even if everyone is busy today, there is nothing for her to do, as long as she is dressed in a costume, with a pearl and green, just sit quietly.
She could only see Xue Mingyang's clothes from the gap in the red hijab, and then saw the curtain of the sedan chair, until she got on the sedan chair, staggered for two quarters of an hour, stopped, and listened to Xiao Tian whisper: "Miss, it's here." β
The Xue family's mansion is not far from the Chu Mansion, but the scale is much larger than the Chu family, almost occupying half of the street, even people who have lived in the Xue family for more than ten years dare not say that they can recognize every place.
Chu Lingfeng naturally didn't have to worry about getting lost at this time, she was carried into the Xue Mansion by a sedan chair from the main gate all the way into the Xue Mansion.
The eldest son married, and the Xue family naturally came today, and a big room full of seniority sat one by one.
However, except for the ground under her feet, Chu Lingfeng couldn't see anything, which was okay, saving her nervousness. It's just like a puppet, pulled by the red thread, one instruction, one step.
One worships heaven and earth, the other worships the high hall, and husband and wife worship each other...... Chu Lingfeng bent down slightly, feeling the side of the red rope move slightly, and then everything returned to calm.
Leaving the groom outside to entertain guests from all walks of life, Chu Lingfeng was surrounded by the bride maids and entered the new house.
Then, the hustle and bustle of the day came to an end for Chu Lingfeng, and the maids and girls all withdrew, leaving only the personal maid Xiaotian.
The door closed, Xiao Tian patted her chest and exhaled.
Chu Lingfeng laughed, took off the red hijab that had been covering most of the day, looked at Xiao Tian's appearance and said, "What's the matter, look at your appearance, you seem to be more tired than me." β
"Ahh Xiao Tian was startled and said hurriedly: "Hurry up and cover it, it's unlucky." β
"It's auspicious if you can't see anything?" Chu Lingfeng fanned the wind with his hand indifferently, even in this most comfortable April day, wearing this thick layer after layer, it was inevitable that it would be a little hot.
"That's not what I said." Although Xiao Tian felt that it was inappropriate, she knew that her young lady had always had no taboos, and she didn't take it too seriously. Instead, he came over with a smile: "Miss, what you said is really good, this Xue Gongzi is really handsome and tall." β
Although Chu Lingfeng said this to Xiao Tian very firmly, she always regarded it as a word of comfort for herself, and it was not until the moment she saw Xue Mingyang appear that she believed that what she said was true.
"He is handsome and upright, but his health is really not good, and he really has no status in the Xue Mansion." Chu Lingfeng sighed: "Although the rumors cannot be believed, at least most of them are true. β
"Miss, how do you know?" Xiao Tian's eyes widened in surprise: "Didn't you say that you have only seen Xue Gongzi's side, and you haven't even said anything." How can you know so much? β
"I haven't seen it, can't I ask someone?" Chu Lingfeng got up and walked a few steps and moved: "Marriage is a lifelong thing, do I really go out with dark eyes?" β
Although Chu Lingfeng is the daughter of the boudoir, on the surface, she has no choice but to go out of the door, but in fact, she has come into contact with a wide range of people and things, and the sources of collecting news are also very wide, far from being as simple as Xiao Tian imagined. It's just that the people she comes into contact with are the so-called bottom of society, and when she says it, it's just a joke and suspicion.
"It would be better to know more." Xiao Tian looked around the room: "But Miss, I think the Xue family should attach great importance to this marriage, the descendants of the Xue family are very respectful along the way, the ceremony is also in place, the yard and the house are all newly decorated, and it can be seen that it has taken care and money." β
Chu Lingfeng smiled and did not speak. Although Xiao Tian has a heart but is powerless, she has always had reservations about her. I'm not afraid that she knows too much and it's not good for her, I'm afraid that she will be tricked unknowingly and think it's good to sell herself.
Although it is not Xiao Tian who is married, she is still a little nervous and excited when she arrives in a new place and will live in this new place in the future.
The hijab has already been revealed, and it doesn't matter if there are more taboos, Chu Lingfeng touched his stomach and beckoned Xiao Tian to eat. She has not exercised since she woke up this morning, but she has not eaten much.
The most important thing for the bride today is to be well-behaved rather than full, so no one specially prepared any dinner for Chu Lingfeng, just some snacks and fruits for the occasion.
was eating, and suddenly there was a noisy sound outside, Xiao Tian hurriedly pushed Chu Lingfeng to the side of the bed: "Miss, don't eat, hurry, go back and sit down, my uncle is here." β
Chu Lingfeng stuffed the dim sum in his hand into his mouth, wiped his mouth indiscriminately, and put down the hijab.
Although it was a cave house candle, she never thought that there would be a real cave room candle with this so-called Xiang Guild. It's just that no matter what the relationship between the two is, on the surface, they still have to do enough.
Xue Mingyang has always been in poor health, even if today is his big day, the visitors are very measured, and they did not catch him to pour wine, so when he returned to the room, he was still very sober.
Chu Lingfeng listened to the maid outside say hello to Xue Mingyang, and then the door creaked open, and a footstep entered the house.
"Uncle." Xiao Tian hurriedly stepped forward almost, blessed her body.
"Yes." Xue Mingyang nodded and stuffed a red envelope over: "You go down." β
On the night of the candles in the cave room, even if Xiao Tian is Chu Lingfeng's personal maid, she can't guard it on the side. I had to accept the bulging red envelope, say a few words of congratulations, and close the door and go out.
For a while, the Xue Mansion, which had been noisy for a day, seemed to be quiet, and the breathing of the two could be heard in the room.
After being silent for a long time, Xue Mingyang slowly walked to the table, poured two glasses of wine, and then walked back to the bedside and handed a glass in front of Chu Lingfeng.
Although it is natural for the cave room to drink wine on a candle night, it is estimated that no fiancΓ© will send a glass of wine to the bride with such an indifferent expression.
However, Chu Lingfeng was just stunned, and reached out to take it.
Although there are many facts in the rumors, she can also be sure that Xue Mingyang is not completely weak and useless as in the rumors, she has never expected a marriage that is respectful and affectionate, but maybe there can be a way to get along with Xue Mingyang.
After Chu Lingfeng took the wine glass, Xue Mingyang did not speak, but slowly reached out to lift his head.
The red scarf was lifted, revealing the bride's perfect makeup, and the seventeen-year-old girl, even if she did not have the appearance of a captivating city, was suffocating in her beauty against the backdrop of red.
The light came in, Chu Lingfeng raised his head and looked at Xue Mingyang, and at this moment, Xue Mingyang could feel that his breathing stopped for a moment.
The two look at each other, one is handsome and chic in each other's eyes, and the other is as beautiful as a flower, if it is ordinary for you to marry me, it is undoubtedly an excellent start.
But at this time, after a short look at each other, Xue Mingyang lowered his face and said slowly: "Chu Lingfeng, the third lady of the Chu family, although I don't know why my mother wants you to be your daughter-in-law, there is one thing I have to tell you." Although the Xue family is the richest man in Jiangnan, if they marry me, their future life may not be as comfortable as imagined. β
The groom spoke disrespectfully, but he didn't see the aggrieved expression that the bride expected, and even the expression on Chu Lingfeng's face was calmer than him.
It wasn't until Xue Mingyang finished speaking that Chu Lingfeng nodded and said briskly, "I know." β
"You know?" Xue Mingyang frowned: "What do you know?" β
"I know that the reason why I was named as my daughter-in-law was because of Mrs. Xue's inexplicable insistence. I know that although you are the eldest son, you have no status in the family. I also know that Xue Gongzi is young, but his health is not good, and he may be suffering from hidden diseases. Chu Lingfeng lightly touched the wine glass on Xue Mingyang's wine glass: "Why do I know everything but still get married, it's actually very simple, because we all have no choice." β
In a wealthy family, it is not up to you to decide who to marry or who to marry. Chu Lingfeng wanted Xue Mingyang to know that marrying him was forced to be helpless, and she was helpless to marry. Don't say who gives whom a look, she is not a dead face to enter the Xue Mansion for glory and wealth.
Chu Lingfeng raised his head and drank the wine, got up and put the empty cup on the table, and looked back at Xue Mingyang.
Xue Mingyang didn't speak, he was silent for a while, he raised his head and drank the wine dry, and said: "I have always heard that the third lady of the Chu family is different from others, but now it seems that it is really different from ordinary ladies." Calling people...... Some expectations. β
Although Xue Mingyang is the eldest son, his status in the Xue Mansion is not much better than that of Chu Lingfeng in the Chu Mansion. Xue Mingyang's biological mother is the wife of the Xue Mansion, but she has no support because of her mother's family, and she is not valued in the mansion.
And this time, I don't know why, I suddenly made such a request, and in the face of the opposition of the family, I persisted, and I don't know what method was used to persuade the head of the Xue Mansion to make this marriage very grand.
"There will always be discrepancies between rumors and facts, and Xue Gongzi must know this better than me." Chu Lingfeng knew what Xue Mingyang was referring to, but there was no need to explain more when the two were not familiar: "In any case, I have already married into the Xue Mansion and become a young grandmother, and in the future, I will have to rely on the minister." β
Although this voice shouted without any friendship, it still made Xue Mingyang laugh: "Although I may not have any ability, since you are the daughter-in-law chosen by my mother, as long as you keep to yourself, I will naturally protect you." "Don't look at the face of the monk and look at the face of the Buddha, Xue Mingyang doesn't care what Chu Lingfeng's mood is, but he can't help but think about his mother.
