Chapter 145: Getting married is a tiring thing
The sedan chair stopped outside the gate of the Lin family, it was the eight-person sedan chair that Lin Wanbai once said, and she said in the past that the eight-person sedan chair of the Lin family must be carried back by the Lin family.
But now, she was carried out by an eight-person sedan chair.
Because she was covered by Xipa, she couldn't see what was going on around her, how many people there were, whether it was hot or not, these were things she couldn't see.
But for Lin Wanbai, all this that happened was not important, so even if he couldn't see it, he didn't have any regrets. At best, she was just using Hongshu, and as long as the time was right, she would naturally run away, and there was no need to record all this.
Dai Sang helped her to leave the Lin family across the brazier, and immediately a grandmother stepped forward, and then squatted under her, making a gesture to carry her up.
The bride stepped over the brazier, and she could no longer step on the ground, which was one of the many ceremonies, although she could not see it, but she could see the color of the clothes on the grandmother in front of her, as well as the color of the clothes.
This is Mama Shao, in the Qi Palace, Mama Shao is almost the oldest, and she is also relatively ranked.
But, after all, he is old.
Let an old lady who is almost in her prime-old years carry her, Lin Wanbai's heart is weak for a while, if she is not careful, it doesn't matter if she falls, but if she falls Mama Shao, it is not a joke, old man, the bones are brittle......
But the current situation, Lin Wanbai can't think about it at all, fortunately, this gate is not very far from the sedan chair, fortunately, she is only a sixteen-year-old body at the moment, and it is not very heavy.
She lay on Mama Shao's back, although Mama Shao was very thin, but her skeleton was very tough, and she walked to the sedan chair step by step before putting it down. Lin Wanbai almost jumped off Mama Shao, and she could stay for a second less.
The inside of the sedan chair is very spacious, even if it is for two people.
It's just that Dai Sang didn't follow, she just lowered the curtain for Lin Wanbai, and then followed on foot.
"Get up!"
With a long, breathy shout, the sedan chair was lifted safely, and then walked forward.
Open the way in front of the sedan chair. There are also many people, beating gongs and drums, and setting off firecrackers on both sides, eager to let the entire imperial city know. Today, King Qi's mansion marries a wife.
Lin Wanbai sat in the sedan chair, pushed the sedan chair away a little, and then looked left and right, this sedan chair not only looked magnificent on the outside, but also inside. It is also very particular, and there is no place that is not satisfied.
She sat in the sedan chair, not particularly happy, nor particularly nervous, and it was not the first time she went to King Qi's mansion, she had lived there for several months, and now it was just a formality.
Therefore, what she is thinking about the most at this moment is not where to go later, what to do, anyway, every time Mama Shao follows the whole process. Where you need to bow down and nod your head, you will be informed in advance.
What she is worried about is that if she leaves like this, Aunt Zhao will be alone from now on, and she will not be able to return to her parents' house for non-important things; And it is not easy to boast to Lin Hongan about Haikou.
What's more, two days later, Lin Manlu also married to King Qi's mansion, and this fight has just ended. It is impossible to face each other all day long, without accidents.
She thought about it, and she didn't know how long it was, but she heard another shouting outside the sedan chair. Then the sedan chair stopped.
In order not to make a flaw, she hurriedly pulled down the Xipa to cover it, Dai Sang lifted the curtain outside, and then Mama Shao came over and bent down slightly.
"Sin, sin."
Lin Wanbai looked at Mama Shao. Silently reciting in her heart, this is everyone's custom, it is impossible for her to push away Mama Shao and stride in; For the sake of the future, this willfulness is better put away.
Fortunately, even though Mama Shao was old, her body was still very strong, so she carried her on her back like this, stepped on the ground step by step, stepped over the gate of King Qi's mansion, and walked to the front of the hall before stopping.
"The princess stands firm."
Mama Shao put her down, panting slightly, and couldn't catch up with her speech.
Lin Wanbai nodded, feeling a little sorry for Mama Shao, she knew that there was such a procedure, she shouldn't be greedy for the chefs of the Qi Palace's mansion to cook deliciously, eat an extra bowl for every meal, maybe she can lose a few pounds.
"Please cross the brazier and be safe from now on, and the bad luck will be dissipated."
Mama Shao was on the side as if she was studying, introducing every procedure, which was essential, Lin Wanbai obediently followed suit, and could feel that there were many people in today's Qi Wangfu, I am afraid that the entire imperial city, people with heads and faces, are all here.
Stepping over the brazier and walking all the way forward, Lin Wanbai felt that everyone's eyes fell on her.
When she was done, she was taken to the front of the hall, where Hongshu was waiting for her. Even if she couldn't see it, she could imagine Hongshu's silly smile.
"Worship Heaven and Earth......
The guard of honor on the side shouted loudly there, and Mama Shao helped her, walked to Hongshu's side, and bowed down deeply.
I don't know how many times she bowed, but when she herself was in a daze, she finally heard a shout: "Send to the cave room." ”
She breathed a sigh of relief, if she continued like this, her waist would be broken~ worn out.
However, there was no Hongshu who was sent into the cave room, as the protagonist of today, he wanted to stay to receive guests, so the only ones who followed into the Yu Garden were Mama Shao, Dai Sang, and a few maids.
Getting farther and farther away from the noise, Lin Wanbai kept his face calm, and his mood became bad for no reason; In this way, she became an accessory, and she felt more and more desolate.
Unlike on TV, there will be an uncle to pick up the sedan chair, and there is nothing to carry on her back, she just came alone, and then worshipped, and waited alone in the new house. And as a man, you can be like a real protagonist, entertaining guests and receiving blessings.
None of that had anything to do with her.
"Princess Shizi, please sit down, the slaves and maids are out, please wait for the Shizi here with peace of mind."
After Mama Shao finished speaking, a look motioned for everyone to leave, even if it was Dai Sang, she couldn't stay here.
Lin Wanbai sighed in her heart, it was only early in the morning, she hadn't even eaten breakfast, so she had to wait here until evening.
Even if you don't die of exhaustion, you starve to death, and you can't treat the bride like this?
A famous family like King Qi's mansion. Even if it is a big feast for three days, it is not too much, not to mention that it is only a whole day now. Invite some officialdom, or moral friends. Eat and drink for a day, then watch a cabaret show, and talk about it, and the time of the day is easy to pass.
But for Lin Wanbai. In the room, sitting alone, without eating or drinking from morning to night, he really lived like a year.
At first she could sit still, but only for a moment.
"Anyone?"
She whispered, shook her head tentatively, and didn't respond.
"I'm going to drink water, anyone?"
After a while, she shouted again, but still no one answered her.
"It seems. There really isn't anyone left. ”
Lin Wanbai said, ripped off Xipa and threw it aside; If this move is seen by Mama Shao, it will not be as simple as having a black face, maybe everything will have to start all over again.
This is Hongshu's room, but it has been refurbished, everything is new, and the big red silk curtain almost fills the whole room. You must know that the dyeing industry at this time was not as developed as modern industry, and everything had to be done manually.
Every section of this curtain is precious. It's a few hundred meters here, and it's all about money.
Lin Wanbai looked at the scene in front of her distressedly, she could pay the wages of those long-term workers for Gui Chunxing. I don't know how much hair I have lost, but now that King Qi's Mansion is just decorating a room, I don't know how much money it has used.
Sure enough, the problem that money can solve is never a problem, and her problem is that there is no money.
She stood under the curtain, thinking about waiting for the family affair to pass. Is it possible to tear it off and sell it back to the cloth shop, after all, it is too luxurious.
In addition to a pair of dragon and phoenix candles on the table, which are almost one person high, there are some simple melons and fruits and some pastries, which are beautifully placed, and they are the kind that will be known immediately as long as they take a piece.
There was also a pot full of tea in the teapot, and I finally had some conscience.
She poured herself a glass, then drank it all in one gulp, and poured another glass, quenching her thirst, but even more hungry.
I think that when she was in the hospital in the past, night shifts were common, and when she was busy, sometimes she didn't eat a meal all day, and she didn't feel anything. But here, she was taken care of by Dai Sang too well, with regular meals, afternoon tea and supper from time to time, in short, she would not be hungry.
Now, even if you haven't slept all night, you don't even have breakfast; As it stands, lunch and dinner are gone, as if they are going to forget her.
Because the customs of this dynasty are like this, on this day, the bride will wait in this room, from morning to night, everyone is like this, it is impossible to change this custom because of Lin Wanbai.
Lin Wanbai turned around, but she couldn't find anything to eat, and she really didn't want to steal what was on the table; If you dare to do this, then the next day, here in King Qi's Mansion, it will be said that the princess will become a hungry wolf on the day of marriage, and eat all the tributes on the table.
She still has to live here in King Qi's Mansion for a long time, so she has no plans to cut herself off.
Lin Wanbai was really hungry and had no strength, and this phoenix crown weighed more than ten catties, and he didn't know where those weak officials and women got the strength to support them for so long.
I'm afraid that some people who are in poor health, and when they wait for the evening, they will faint from hunger directly, and coupled with the toss of the husband in the middle of the night, they will die directly.
No wonder the mortality rate in ancient times was so high, especially pregnant women, who were tossed all day like this, even if they were pregnant, they would not be too healthy.
She was half-lying on the bed, reaching for her chin and thinking from a doctor's point of view.
In fact, Lin Wanbai really wanted to lie down and fall asleep, but if she lay down, her hair bun would definitely be messy, and she couldn't re-tie her new bun alone, so the matter of secretly sleeping would also be revealed.
Thinking about it, I can't eat or sleep.
If she knew that it was so troublesome to get married, she shouldn't have nodded and agreed, asking for her own hardships.
She didn't know how long she had been lying on the bed like this, maybe the people outside had already eaten two handfuls; The maid and grandmother outside the door, as well as Dai Sang, seemed to be very relieved that she was alone in the house, and it didn't matter if she was tired or starved to death.
"Knock knock."
On the other side of the window, someone was knocking.
Lin Wanbai just raised his head a little and looked at it, suspecting that it was his own delusion, he must be too hungry to have auditory hallucinations, which is very common in medicine.
"Knock knock."
Outside the window, the person who knocked on the window was still persevering, and he also whispered: "Wanbai, Wanbai." ”
Lin Wanbai sat up with a spirit, even if it was an auditory hallucination, there was no such a clear auditory hallucination.
Hongshu is not socializing outside at this time, how can he come here. Even if you are a fool, on such a big occasion, to do such a thing, if others see it, it is absolutely impossible.
She hurriedly ran to the window, and then opened the window, and it was really Hongshu outside, maybe because she had drunk a lot of wine, she smelled wine from a distance, and her originally fair face became red.
On this occasion, it is impossible for the groom not to get drunk, plus Hongshu is a fool, even if he is the prince of the world, but there are many people with bad intentions, maybe someone will make him bad and let him drink more.
"Why are you here?"
Lin Wanbai looked left and right, fortunately there was no one here.
"Hurry back, you want to see me, you can see it tonight."
She doesn't want to be infamous as soon as she gets married, who doesn't want to be loved, Lin Wanbai is the same, as soon as she comes, she will make trouble, and if Prince Qi and Princess Qi are not satisfied, the future will be sad.
"Your Heepa asked me to open it, why did you open it myself?"
Hongshu looked at her and pouted a little dissatisfied, perhaps because he had drunk too much, and his tone of voice was even more childish.
"If you don't open it, how can I see the way to the road and come here to open the window for you."
Lin Wanbai said angrily, hungry people have never had a good temper, and she is even more so now.
"Okay, but you're going to have to cover it again tonight, and lift it for me again."
Hongshu said seriously, how could such an important procedure be omitted.
"I see, get out of here."
Lin Wanbai gritted his teeth in a hurry, almost angry with him.
Hongshu didn't walk away, because he was outside the house, so he looked shorter than Lin Wanbai, he raised his head, looked at Lin Wanbai and smiled, then reached out and grabbed her clothes, pulled her bent over, and pecked her on the lips.
"Wanbai, you look so good today."
Hongshu looked at her, smiling so brightly that honey could almost drip from his eyes.
"Is it just today?"
Lin Wanbai bit her lip and subconsciously looked away, even if she was a fool, she was still a man.
"No, Wanbai looks good every day, but today is particularly good-looking."
Could it be that even a fool can say love words at this thought?
After Hongshu finished speaking, he took out a small bag from his arms, which was pastries and rice balls in a handkerchief.
"I know you're hungry and secretly brought it to you." (To be continued.) )
