Chapter 45: Preparation
Before midnight, Zhou Xiaofu was woken up by Lan's mother, saying that the guests would arrive one after another at the end of the day, and the ceremony would be held at noon.
But Zhou Xiaofu couldn't figure out why she had to get up so early, after all, she was not the protagonist of today's ceremony.
However, Lan's mother explained that after breakfast, there should be a simple rehearsal so that there would be no chaos during the formal ceremony.
Zhou Xiaofu had no choice but to let Lan's mother and Cuihua give her a.
After half an hour, the two of them stopped, Zhou Xiaofu saw a girl with sword eyebrows and starry eyes in the bronze mirror, with a white face, holding a high flying cloud bun, a little pearl in the bun, not wearing any big jewelry, and a pair of diamond earrings hanging on her ears, which were in the shape of a pair of tassels, all broken diamonds, and her neck was also a thin platinum necklace, and the tail was decorated with a diamond petal pendant.
A set of large buttoned clothes with red plum blossoms on a white background, the collar of the dress is slightly upturned, revealing a white and slender neck, just revealing the petal flash pendant.
Seeing Zhou Xiaofu's surprised face, Mother Lan on the side said proudly: "Our fourth young lady is so good-looking, if it weren't for Miss Errong's etiquette today, the slave would definitely dress you up like a fairy." ”
Lan's mother was satisfied and proud in her tone, as if her daughter was dressed up like this.
Zhou Xiaofu silently thought in her heart at this time that she must be strong, be able to call the shots, and be able to rely on these people who are good to her.
After cleaning up, I hurriedly had breakfast, and before I finished it, I saw Wang Errong's maid urging her, saying that Zhengbin had gone to Fuxiangyuan.
Zhou Xiaofu hurriedly took Cuihua to her aunt's yard.
I met a lot of maids and wives along the way, and I couldn't help but look back at Zhou Xiaofu when I saw her dressed like this.
Cuihua on the side was so happy, her miss was so noticeable, and she felt honored.
The General's Mansion was indeed large, and it took more than half an hour to reach my aunt's yard, and when I saw that a mother was already waiting at the door, I hurried forward.
The mother breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Miss Fu, hurry up and go in." ”
Zhou Xiaofu hurriedly went in, and saw that there was an eldest aunt in the hall, and the second aunt Lan was also there.
He hurriedly stepped forward to salute, and confessed to Ai that he was late.
Ai Shi was not angry, seeing that Zhou Xiaofu was dressed up so beautifully, and her temperament was better, she was very happy, originally she felt that her sister's daughter was better, but now she saw that Zhou Xiaofu was dressed up but did not lose to others at all, and her heart was also satisfied.
Then Ai Shi pulled the Lan family on the side and said to Zhou Xiaofu: "Sister Fu, today your second aunt is Yousi, if you don't know anything in a while, ask your second aunt more, your second aunt was born in the seventh generation of scholars." ”
Zhou Xiaofu immediately stepped forward and saluted: "Lord Yousi, Sister Fu is so polite!" ”
Seeing Zhou Xiaofu so funny, everyone laughed.
At this moment, the maid came in and spread the word that it was Mrs. Hu of Jindu Futai.
Ai Shi and Lan Shi hurriedly went out to greet them, and Zhou Xiaofu also hurried out with them.
And behold, a woman in full costume was already in the courtyard.
This woman was about thirty-seven or eighteen years old, and she was extremely rich, with a pair of lop ears like the ears of a Buddha, a fleshy nose, and a pair of very large eyes, and a kind appearance.
Ai immediately stepped forward and took the woman's hand and said, "Sister Hu, thank you for coming to preside over the little lady today." ”
This Hu Shi said with a modest smile: "There, you are polite, your daughter is sensible and decent, I ask to be a guest of honor for her." ”
The women laughed again and entered the hall together.
As soon as I sat down, I saw three or four maids and women helping Wang Errong in.
Wang Errong is really dressed up today, the towering red dress has also increased in height, and it is estimated that he is wearing formal shoes at the bottom of a flower pot.
His hair was also pulled up high, and he wore a pair of ruby jewelry, which looked noble and luxurious.
Zhou Xiaofu exclaimed on the side: "Big cousin, you are so beautiful today." ”
Wang Errong on the side frowned and said, "What's beautiful, I'm almost tired of this hair, and I'm going to fall down if I'm not careful." ”
Ai Shi on the side was very relieved to see that her daughter was so outstanding, her daughter was already sixteen years old, and she was no longer a little girl who fell down and lay in her arms to find comfort.
"This girl, today is your big day, what is dead in your mouth, it's too unlucky, you are sixteen, you must pay attention to your words and deeds in the future, can't you act arbitrarily like before?" Ai said seriously.
Wang Errong on the side instantly began to cry: "Mother, don't the child grow up." ”
Ai Shi stepped forward and hugged his daughter in distress, her daughter has grown up, and she is about to say goodbye, and it won't be long before she can stay by her side.
Thinking like this, Ai also began to cry, and the mother and daughter cried for a while.
Lan and Hu immediately stepped forward to comfort them, and Hu Shi said with a smile: "Alas, I have been a guest so many times, and I have never seen a mother and daughter like you. ”
Ai Shi was embarrassed to hear this and opened his mouth and said: "Sister Hu, don't be surprised, I will let this daughter be, I think that this is going to be a kiss, this is going to be a marriage, and I will stay by my side for two years at most, so I feel sad and tight, and I can't help crying." ”
The Lan family on the side also stepped forward to comfort him for a long time, and the Hu family said with a smile: "What are you afraid of, it's not good to marry us, I want to see my daughter as far as three quarters of an hour, what are you afraid of separation." ”
Ai Shi immediately wiped his tears and laughed and said, "Sister Hu, this is a good idea." ”
Everyone just cared about the conversation, but they didn't see it, Wang Errong's face was red and burning.
Zhou Xiaofu laughed, and Lan glanced at Wang Errong and understood it in his heart, but he didn't say anything.
Ai turned his head and saw that his daughter blushed with shame, so he quickly changed the topic and talked about something else.
Immediately after that, everyone began to rehearse and perform the ceremony, as well as what to say.
And Zhou Xiaofu, as a praiser, is just a hand, just holding the tray, there is nothing to say.
After waiting for a while, a maid came to report that the front hall had been successively ascended, and asked the eldest lady and the second lady to go to receive the visitors.
As soon as they heard this, the three ladies left together, leaving Zhou Xiaofu and Wang Errong, and the two of them exhaled and sat down on the couch and laughed.
As soon as the maid changed the tea for the two, she saw a group of little girls chattering into the door.
The leader is Ma Haishan, the second aunt's mother, who looks cute and cute in a new orange dress.
Behind are two conjoined babies Wang Lehe and Wang Peihan who entered the door hand in hand, and the two of them wore exactly the same pink dress, which at first glance is a bit of a twin.
At the end was a strange girl, dressed in a violet brocade dress, with her hair coiled up high, and a set of lilac gemstone jewelry, which looked noble and cold, but it had a different mood.
At this time, Wang Errong, who was the master, got up solemnly and greeted everyone, and then walked up to the girl in purple and said, "Sister Lan, you came so early." ”
The girl called Sister Lan pouted and said, "I thought I was going to be a praiser for you, so I came early, but I just met my aunt in the front hall, and she said that she had arranged for your aunt's daughter to be a praiser for you." ”
Wang Peihan on the side interjected: "Of course my cousin and aunt have to be the praiser, you are dressed up so beautifully, you are going to become the protagonist, if it were me, I wouldn't want you to be the praiser." ”
This womanly was just about to open her mouth, but Wang Lehe next to her suddenly laughed and said: "Peihan, when you reach the age of sixteen, I am afraid that the sisters of this aunt's family are already in their twenties, how old are they, how can I be a compliment for you." ”
Pei Han on the side nodded hurriedly and said, "Yes, why didn't I think of it." ”
Everyone secretly laughed when they heard it, this pair of living treasures could unknowingly kill people, and these two living treasures didn't know the innocent appearance of the reason.
The woman in purple was even more angry, and her cheeks trembled.
Wang Errong was just about to persuade when he saw the woman calling her maid to turn around and go out.
Wang Errong called twice in the back, but no one answered, sat down and said to Zhou Xiaofu: "This is the daughter of my little aunt's family, called Zhao Lanzi, Sister Lan." ”
Ma Haishan on the side said: "Cousin Fu, you have to be careful later, this Zhao Lanzi is a cautious eye and loves to hold grudges." ”
Wang Peihan on the side said angrily: "Hmph, auntie's courtesy, how dare she, if she dares to make trouble, I will let Xiaohua bite her!" ”
Everyone immediately laughed again, this week Xiaofu was just about to ask who Xiaohua was, when she saw the maid spread the word that Wang Errong was going to the front hall, and the ceremony was about to begin.
