Chapter 120: The First Night of Marriage
Meng Qiuhe proudly examined Shui Lianyue's expression as he spoke, eager to see a hint of clues, but he didn't expect that Shui Lianyue still had a cold expression, and there was no abnormal look, as if it was insignificant, which made Meng Qiuhe a little embarrassed.
"Is the eldest lady finished? If you finish speaking, Yue'er will retreat first", Shui Lianyue ignored Meng Qiuhe's expression, said lightly, and then flicked her sleeves, turned around and walked out with her head held high, Meng Qiuhe's eyes were half-squinted, and the hand holding the table held it hard, Okay, you Shui Lianyue, do you really think you are a Nine Heavens Fairy? Not fireworks on earth? Hmph, I don't believe you're not half moved.
In fact, this matter was not seen by Meng Qiuhe with his own eyes, but the mother-in-law who went out of the house early in the morning to purchase saw it and came back and said that she listened, who in the capital did not know that King Yu was clean and honest, and he didn't even have a roommate, and now he was catching up with the first day of the wedding. Hmph, when she marries into the palace tomorrow, she will suffer without the support of her mother's family.
Meng Qiuhe thought about it for a while, only then did she dissipate the anger just now, and then she remembered what happened to the tenth lady against her yesterday, and she immediately had a calculating mentality, how could she let a little lady bully her, not to mention, her son Shui Dubai is the heir of the future Shui Mansion, and she wants to ascend to the sky with those five foxes? Hmph, I don't even have a background, it's just a pipe dream.
After thinking about it, Meng Qiuhe called out to the door: "Lamei", and after a while, I saw a girl with a beautiful appearance, only seventeen or eighteen years old walking in, her eyebrows and eyes showed disdain, but after seeing Meng Qiuhe, she put away her disdain, saluted, and said with a slight smile: "Big lady, the second miss went to the backyard again this morning, but it seemed that she didn't wait for anyone, so she went back again."
Meng Qiuhe was stunned, and immediately frowned and said angrily: "This girl doesn't make people worry all day long, I don't know what to think in her head, does she think that she can kill Shui Lianyue with that killer of the third and ninth streams?" It's really a fool's dream, not to mention how much effort Shui Lianyue has, even if she is really dead, I don't know how many things will happen, hey."
Lamei's eyebrows flickered for a few moments, and then she comforted Meng Qiuhe and said, "Big lady, don't you know what Miss is thinking?" Whether the thing is successful or not, put it aside, since she has this ability, it is enough to show that the young lady is brave and strategic, in this deep mansion compound, only those who have the means can survive, if they marry into the princely family in the future, then it is not the eldest lady who enjoys the blessings"?
Meng Qiuhe pondered Lamei's words, it is not unreasonable, Shan'er has been thoughtful since she was a child, and in terms of her means, she is not more powerful than her mother, and it can even be said to be more vicious, if she marries into an ordinary family, it is useless, only if she marries into a princely family, she is the most matched.
"Forget it, let her go, you send a girl to keep an eye on her, as long as you don't make any more trouble, by the way, you can go to the Spanish Academy with me later", Meng Qiuhe sighed lightly, and then when he thought of Mrs. Ten, his eyes suddenly flashed with a fierce color.
Lamei remembered in vain that the tenth lady confronted the eldest lady yesterday, nodded clearly, and said with a smile: "This tenth lady, relying on the favor of the master, is about to turn to the sky, it's time to teach a lesson."
"Well, bring Camellia and Dongju, let's go now, I want to see what qualifications she has to compete with my son for the position of head of the family", Meng Qiuhe took a sip of tea from the teacup, then slammed the teacup on the table, said fiercely, and led Lamei out of the front yard in a moment.
Saying that on this day, the water house began to be opened, hanging red wedding lamps everywhere, pasting red happy words, although it is a concubine to marry, but the master personally sent it, no one dares to say more.
The first night, after Shui Lianyue took a bath, I saw Meng Qiuhe take the open-faced grandma and the combing grandmother to Lanxiang Pavilion to comb the face of Shui Lianyue.
According to the customs of the Jinxi Dynasty, because the fourth lady is just a concubine, and Shui Lianyue's marriage is the position of the princess, the fourth lady is not qualified to participate in the daughter's marriage ceremony.
Open face is an old woman in her fifties, is a very blessed woman, every time the daughters of each family get married, she is the one to open the face, said to open the face, just with the gold thread on the face lightly scraped six times, each time to say auspicious words, this is also one of the customs of the Jinxi Dynasty women to marry.
Followed by combing her hair, the grandmother who combs her hair is much older than the open-faced grandmother, at least sixty or seventy years old, but her spirit is extraordinarily good, her hands and feet are neat, she has many children and many blessings in her life, and her husband raises her eyebrows, and is recognized as a mascot in the capital.
I saw her pick up a jade comb that she often used to comb her hair and walked behind Shui Lianyue, first looked at her satin-like black hair, which was past her waist, she nodded with satisfaction, and said with a loving smile: "Miss, these three thousand green silk are really a treasure, it can be seen that she is very good at maintenance on weekdays."
Shui Lianyue looked at the grandmother who was combing her hair from the bronze mirror, and only smiled faintly when she heard her words, but did not speak.
The grandmother who combed her hair pinched a tuft of black hair with both hands familiarly, and said with a smile: "One comb to the hair, wealth and no-worry, two combs to the head, no disease and worry-free, three combs to the hair, more children and more longevity."
As soon as the words of the comb mother fell, I saw her bending her body slightly, combing from the ends of her hair again, and muttering in her mouth: "Comb to the end again, raise the case and raise the eyebrows, comb the second comb to the tail, fly with wings, comb to the tail with three combs, forever tie the knot and admire it together, there is a head and a tail, rich and noble, may the young lady and the prince grow old and live a happy life."
Listening to the auspicious words in the mouth of the combing mother, Shui Lianyue's heart sank for no reason, she repeatedly warned herself that this qiē is just a scene play, just a scene play, but the big red color around her always reminds herself that this is really entering the palace of marriage, not child's play.
As soon as she thought of Nangong Yu's stinky face, and when she thought of his hostility towards her, she sighed again at the fate of fate, since she was given a second life, why did she fool her like this?
Seeing that the combing mother finished combing her hair, she sighed lightly in her heart, brushed off the melancholy between her eyebrows, took out a red envelope from her arms with a smile and handed it to the two grandmothers, the grandmothers took it very happily, and said a few words of blessing.
In the blink of an eye, the bustle in the house cooled down, only Meng Qiuhe brought the maid who served her with makeup and hair, Meng Qiuhe sneered, slowly walked behind Shui Lianyue, looked at her beautiful face from the bronze mirror, and felt cold, eager to tear Shui Lianyue's face.
She tried her best to endure it, and said in a gloomy voice: "Don't worry, Mrs. Ben will take care of your marriage ceremony for you, and there will be no slackness, but after you go out of the Shui family, you will be like water spilled out, and you are no longer a member of the Shui family.
"Thank you for the teachings of the eldest mother, it's just that Yue'er persuades the eldest mother to think about herself first, don't do to others what you don't want to do to others, Yue'er thinks, the eldest mother should understand", Shui Lianyue said slowly, in the bronze mirror, her phoenix eyes were full of mockery.
