Chapter 450: Out of the Cabinet
Aunt Fang's mouth closed gently, and the chopsticks in her hand were unstable, so she put the chopsticks down after the last moment.
"The master won't really let Yaoying marry into the He family, right?" She looked at the man beggingly, hoping to hear an affirmative answer from him, but the man's expression remained indifferent.
Aunt Fang said to herself: "Ren Yaohua married the head of the Lei family, and Ren Yaoqi married into the Yanbei Palace, how could their own sister marry that kind of person?" The master will definitely not agree, he will not agree! ”
The man glanced at Aunt Fang, didn't respond to her, and turned around and walked out. He was only responsible for telling the woman the news from the outside, and nothing else had anything to do with him.
Aunt Fang whispered there with some nervousness: "That's not the case...... It shouldn't be like this...... My children are all well-lived...... Better than anyone else......"
As she spoke, Aunt Fang's tears flowed down her cheeks, but she didn't notice it herself.
On the second day, Ren Yaoqi was called by the maid to wake up just after dawn, and the grandmothers from Yanbei Wangfu led the maids into the west chamber of Ren Yaoqi with trays and various boxes.
Ren Yaoqi's boudoir was relatively spacious, but as soon as more than 20 people came in, it was a little crowded.
The grandmothers and maids were all smiling, and they said a blessing to Ren Yaoqi together, and then began to perform their duties, waiting for Ren Yaoqi to bathe and change clothes, freshen up, because of the well-trained, although there are many people, they are orderly, and they are not busy and noisy.
The fragrant soup used for bathing is specially configured, the aroma is light and elegant, and the smell is not strong. The bathing of a woman on the day of marriage is a ritual to ward off evil spirits and pray for good fortune, in order to get rid of impurities and beg for health.
The weather was fine on this day, a few days ago it was a little cloudy, but today the sun is shining, which is a good omen. Just a sign though it's good. It also means that Ren Yaoqi will suffer more today, because her dress is covered with layers and is very complicated.
Ren Yao's auspicious clothes are yellow, with eight layers, although each layer is not heavy, but it still makes people feel very stuffy after putting on the body together. However, this is a rule set by the ancestors, and Ren Yaoqi only wears it once in her life, and she can still bear it.
These grandmothers and maids from Yanbei Wangfu were very meticulous, and even the slightest wrinkle on the dress had to be carefully smoothed, and it took a whole hour just to bathe and change clothes.
The Quanfu grandmother who came to comb Ren Yaoqi's hair, Ren Yaoqi, didn't know him. A little old, it is said that a person with both children and daughters is very blessed, Ren Yaoqi sat quietly in front of the dresser, listening to the Quanfu grandmother combing her hair while chanting words in her mouth, her heart was a little trance, it seemed that at this moment she really realized that she was about to marry a wife.
In the previous life, Ren Yaoqi also had ignorant fantasies about her future husband when she was young, and she couldn't help but imagine what kind of person he was like and whether she would love herself. It's just that fate made people later, and after Ren Yaoqi left Yanbei, he never had the idea of getting married. Even the hazy fantasies of his youth faded into his memory, and he could no longer remember them.
In this life, Ren Yaoqi only wanted to change the fate of her loved ones at first, and she didn't expect to meet Xiao Jingxi.
At this moment. Ren Yaochi couldn't help but recall carefully, did the person he hoped for when he was young have any similarities with Xiao Ergongzi? After recalling it for a long time, there was no conclusion in the end.
Ren Yaochi thought, there should still be similarities, right? If it weren't for a man like Xiao Jingxi because of his poor health. rarely appears in front of people, and he will also be the dream of most women in this world.
Ren Yaoqi thought about these things in her heart, and when she came back to her senses, she found that her head was heavy. Three or four maids are surrounding her to help her carry the phoenix crown, and the double happiness point cui and the three phoenix crowns are six or seven inches high, although the inside is not solid for the convenience of movement, but the head full of pearls and emeralds is still very heavy.
The grandmother who brought the phoenix crown to Ren Yaoqi saw Ren Yaoqi move her head, and couldn't help laughing: "Miss is not used to it?" You can get used to wearing it a few more times, and you will have to wear a dress and crown when you worship your ancestors during the New Year's festival in the future. The princess was also a little unaccustomed to it when she first married into the palace, but it would be good to wear it more later. ”
Ren Yaoqi smiled at her and sat up straight.
By the time Ren Yaoqi was finally completely cleaned up, half of the day had passed.
There was still some time before Yanbei Wangfu came to greet his relatives, and Apple secretly brought Ren Yaoqi a bowl of bird's nest porridge and two plates of dim sum in.
Ren Yaoqi was indeed a little hungry, and Ren Yaohua also ate some things when she got married, but Ren Yaoqi was afraid that there were many rules in Yanbei Wangfu, and she couldn't eat it when a room full of people looked at her, so she asked Apple to put things down and didn't move.
However, the leading ceremonial grandmother from Yanbei Wangfu smiled and said, "The slaves and maids will wait outside, and they will come to help you make up for your lipstick later." She was afraid that Ren Yaoqi would be embarrassed, and said, "There is still some time before the auspicious time, you should use some food mats and mats, otherwise it will be very uncomfortable." ”
Saying that, the ceremonial grandmother took a group of people out of the city.
Apple brought the bird's nest porridge to Ren Yaochi again, Ren Yaochi took it, drank it in small sips, used a few pieces of snacks, and had something in his stomach, which was really much more comfortable.
After Ren Yao finished eating, he brought the little maid tea and a spittoon for her to rinse her mouth.
Ren Yaoqi looked at Apple's calm and steady appearance, and smiled: "The Yuan family is in a hurry, right?" ”
Apple blushed, and said, "No ......" glanced at Ren Yaoqi, and she emphasized, "The slave wants to serve by the young lady's side all the time, if ...... If you are married, the slave and maid will not be able to serve in close quarters. ”
She made Ren Yaoqi laugh with a serious look, shook her head and said, "This is not good, Sister-in-law Yuan will complain about me, but the Yuan family has been waiting for you for several years." ”
Ren Yaoqi originally wanted to set the relationship between Apple and Yuan Dayong before she got married, and let the Yuan family be her companion. However, the people of the Yuan family were all servants of the Ren family before, and their room had no relationship with the Ren family, so Ren Yaoqi spent some effort to get the Yuan family out of the Ren family, and the family matter was also pushed to after she became married.
The people of the Yuan family are naturally a thousand and ten thousand who are willing to go with her, although Yuan's sister-in-law Xiao has been thinking about Apple's daughter-in-law for a long time, but she has been waiting for a few years, and it is nothing to wait for a few more months, anyway, this daughter-in-law can't run away.
Apple listened to Ren Yaoqi say this, but his expression was dark.
Ren Yaoqi glanced at her with a smile: "When you get married, you can help me manage the yard, aren't you still serving in front of me?" ”
Apple listened, and then he was happy again.
The original housekeeper next to Ren Yaoqi, Mama Xu, had been back for a while because her son was sick a while ago, and Ren Yaoqi gave her a lot of silver, so that she could treat her son at home with peace of mind.
Ren Yaochi originally kept Mama Xu by her side to explore her truth, but later, although she knew that she didn't mean to harm Ren Yaohua back then, Ren Yaoqi didn't blame her anymore, but she still had some reluctance in her heart.
After Mama Xu went home, Ren Yaoqi didn't find another room for herself, she thought that Xiao Jingxi's yard must have been in charge of things, so what should happen in the future.
As for the affairs of her house, she planned to hand them over to Apple and Mulberry, so that they would be in charge of housekeeping and ledgers, and the maids in the house. The apple and mulberry were all taught by her over the years, and she used to get used to it. The two maids Leshan and Leshui are still young, and they are not in a hurry to marry others, and they can stay by their side and serve them for a few years.
In addition to these four big maids, Ren Yaoqi also has four marrying maids: Chunyan, Chunlan, Qiulian, Qiuxiang,. They are all eleven or twelve years old, smart and clever, Mama Zhou deliberately picked the young ones, in addition to being easy to teach, she also plans to let them take over after several big girls are married. In this way, there will not be no one available during the Ren Yao period.
Ren Yaoqi is quite satisfied with these four little maids, and plans to let the few big maids around him take them well, so that they can be of great use in the future.
Xiao Jingxi is the Ren family where Shen Shi arrived, and it is said that the time of marriage is also exquisite, and it is calculated by the ceremonial officials in the palace according to the eight characters of the birthdays of the two newcomers.
Before Xiao Jingxi entered the door, the Ren family set off a salute in advance, and several grandmothers came to lead Ren Yaoqi to bid farewell to Master Ren and the Li family. Originally, Ren Yao was supposed to pay farewell to the ancestors of the Ren family, but now that Master Ren was expelled from the Ren family, there was no ancestral hall dedicated to the ancestors of the Ren family, so he placed incense in the courtyard and let Ren Yao worship the gods and Buddhas from all walks of life.
When bidding farewell to his parents, Li couldn't help but shed tears, both daughters were married, and she was still sad as a mother. Master Ren looked at his daughter who was wearing a wedding dress, and he was also very reluctant, according to his original intention, he actually wanted Ren Yao to stay for a few more years. Now that his daughter is married, there will be no one to accompany him to appreciate calligraphy and painting in the future.
After saying goodbye to her parents, Ren Yaoqi was taken back and waited for Xiao Jingxi to pick her up. The rules of Yanbei Wangfu are different, Ren Yaoqi does not need to be carried out by her brothers, from her feet to the sedan chair outside, a big red felt carpet is pounced, and Ren Yaoqi wants to walk out of the sedan chair with Xiao Jingxi.
Xiao Jingxi is also wearing a yellow auspicious dress today, this is the first time he has worn such a bright color in front of people, and the dresses he usually wears are black.
Xiao Ergongzi came all the way, and it was no surprise that the eyes of everyone who saw him attracted the past.
Who's a young man, full of romance. The concubine intends to marry and rest for the rest of her life. (To be continued......)
