No. 304 in return
At the end of the farewell time, Mrs. Bu personally covered her daughter with red eyes.
At this time, the sister-in-law stepped forward. She took a big red apple from the maid's hand, put it in the bride's hand, and whispered, "Don't put it down before sending it to the cave." "It's the rule.
The bride said with tears in her voice, "Okay. ”
The groom's official Gu Ruixing has arrived and is waiting in the main hall in front of him. Xi Po hurriedly said, "It's time for the bride to leave, and she wants to say goodbye to the groom's elders." Is it arranged by the elders? ”
Sister-in-law glanced at sister-in-law and sister-in-law step, and then said that it was arranged.
The third sister-in-law and the fourth sister-in-law helped Mrs. Bu left and right, and helped Mrs. Bu to the main hall first. The farewell ceremony for the newlyweds is to be performed here.
After a short time, the bride was helped by the maid to the main hall. At this time, the bridegroom was already listening to the elders' lectures in the main hall. When the bride arrived, a couple of newlyweds knelt down to the general and the old lady who were sitting in the hall. After receiving the blessings of their grandfather and grandmother, they knelt down to worship General Bu and Mrs. Bu. As a father, he looked at his daughter reluctantly and said some blessings. This ritual of farewell to the elders is complete.
Step seven, step Feihe, a boy two years older than Bu Yuyan. Today, he wants to put his only sister on his back in a sedan chair. Xi Po said it was time for the bride to leave. Bu Qi walked over and squatted in front of the bride, "Sister, Brother Qi carries you." ”
Bu Yuyan shouted to Brother Qi and lay on Bu Qi's back. Bu Qi carried his sister steadily, and swept past his grandfather, grandmother and father who were sitting in the first place. The elder nodded, and he no longer hesitated, and walked out with his sister on his back with red eyes.
Bu Liu put his arm on the groom's shoulder and whispered, "Boy, be smart, Yan'er has seven brothers." ”
Gu Ruixing hurriedly shouted to the sixth brother, with a flattering face.
The bride was put on the sedan chair, and the maid next to her put down the sedan curtain.
Gu Ruixing personally stuffed a bulging purse embroidered with the word "Xi" to Buqi.
Bu Qi has no opinion on the purse, but he has an opinion on others, "Boy, why don't you call someone?" "He is the brother who carries the bride, and if he is not satisfied, this sedan chair cannot be lifted.
Gu Rui Xingxin said, I know that you kid wants to make things difficult for me. But his face was not obvious, and he opened his mouth to shout, "Seventh brother." "It is said that he is older than Buqi, and he should not be called Brother Buqi. But Buqi is the bride's brother, so this title is a little awkward. He didn't want to call Brother Bu Qi, who was younger than him, but Bu Qi insisted and asked him to shout at this juncture, could he not shout? Unless you don't want to get married.
When this brother shouted, Rang Bu Qi felt very comfortable, so he grinned, "Hey! "The one who says yes is called a cheerful.
Seeing that her mother's side was satisfied, the bride shook the handkerchief in her hand with a smile on her face and shouted, "The groom is on the horse, and the bride is in a sedan chair." ”
In the sound of firecrackers, the wedding team picked up the bride and left the Bu General's Mansion and walked unhurriedly to the Gu General's Mansion. In addition to Buda, Bu 2 and Bu 5, the other four brothers rode horses to personally send their relatives and escort the dowry by the way. The Bu family prepared a dowry of one hundred lifts for Bu Yuyan. This specification is quite face-saving in the capital, but it is not too ostentatious among the powerful. Actually, this is just the surface. Bu Yuyan's 100-lift dowry, it is expensive, it is all good things, and the amount has caught up with the 150-lift dowry. And one hundred and fifty lifts is the highest standard of dowry, and it is also a specification that only the royal mansion and the Hou Mansion have. The royal marriage of a princess shall not exceed one hundred and fifty lifts, which is the limit set by the saint today.
The three Qingshu sisters and brothers are not only the guests of honor on the bride's side, but also the guests of honor on the groom's side. As soon as the welcoming team left, the Bufu didn't have time to send someone to escort the three of them over, so the ancient mansion came to pick up the people. The welcoming team had to deliberately go around half of the capital to reach the Gu Great General's Mansion, but Qingshu didn't need it. Therefore, the Qingshu sisters and brothers who set off later and Bu Wu arrived at the Gu General's Mansion almost two quarters of an hour earlier than the greeting team.
The door of the Gu General's Mansion opened, and the Qingshu sisters and Buwu, who arrived first, were warmly greeted by Gu Ruixing's sisters-in-law. Bu Wu was pulled away by Gu Ruixing's two elder brothers. Qingshu was taken by Gu Ruixing's two cousins who were fourteen or fifteen years old to entertain her. Qingyang and they will naturally not be neglected, and a few boys of the same age have already taken them to play.
In a festive atmosphere, time flies. The welcoming party arrived, and various ceremonies were being carried out in an orderly manner. Qingshu was also dragged by Gu Ruixing's two cousins to see the newcomer's chapel, and also saw the two happy younger brothers playing with their companions.
After the bride was sent into the cave room, Qingshu moved her position again and was invited to the new room to accompany the bride.
There were a lot of people in the new house, almost all of them young girls, and only a few of them were newly married. Most people just came to take a look, said a few words, and then moved to another place to talk to each other on a daily basis. People came and went, and the front was getting more and more lively, so there were not many people coming to the new house, only Qingshu and Gu Ruixing's cousin Gu Qingqiu were left to accompany the bride.
Finally quiet, Qing Shu secretly breathed a sigh of relief. There were no outsiders here, so Qingshu asked the bride sitting on the new bed, "Are you hungry?" This will get you something to eat and give you a cushion for your stomach. ”
The red hijab on his head is still there, and this can only be lifted at night when the bridegroom enters the cave room. The line of sight was blocked by the red hijab, and Bu Yuyan felt bored. As soon as she heard that she could pad her stomach, she immediately said to Qing Shu a little coquettishly, "Sister Shu still feels sorry for me, if I don't eat something to pad my stomach, I'm going to faint from hunger." ”
With a pop, Gu Qingqiu couldn't help laughing.
Qing Shu also smiled, "How can there be a bride like you?" Not reserved at all. Then let Xiao Xing bring the dim sum on the table, she reached out and took a piece of dim sum from the plate, took a handkerchief to hold it, and then stuffed it into Yu Yan's hand, "Eat!" "I put a handkerchief around it so that the crumbs of the pastry would not fall on the bride's body and stain the bride's clothes.
Bu Yuyan was hungry, and she didn't care if Gu Qingqiu knew how to laugh or not, so she immediately ate it. Afraid that she would choke, Qing Shu instructed the maid to bring tea again. Snacks and tea are ready-made and are used to entertain guests who come to see the bride. This is cheaper.
In ancient times, getting up early and not giving the bride food and water was not to abuse the bride, but to prevent the bride from having a situation on the way to get married. This situation naturally refers to convenience. It is a shame for the bride to stop halfway through. In addition, in ancient times, there were many people who married far away and few who married closely, and there was a great possibility of accidents after stopping on the way. Therefore, in order to avoid this kind of thing, this rule is in place.
When a modern bride gets married, there is a car to greet her relatives, and it doesn't take much time on the road, and the bride has no possibility of stopping on the way. Therefore, the custom of getting up early and not eating or drinking water has long since disappeared, and instead there is a custom of eating specific things. In some places, the bride eats dumplings with the groom before leaving her parents' home, and in other places, she eats noodles. In a word. Depending on the region, there is everything to eat.
Qing Shu didn't dare to let Bu Yuyan eat enough, but just let Bu Yuyan cushion her stomach, drank some tea, and immediately ordered someone to take away the snacks and tea.
Bu Yuyan regretted it, took Qingshu's hand and talked to Gu Qingqiu in a low voice.
But at this time, the fourth sister-in-law of the Gu family brought in a well-dressed woman in her thirties. Seeing the attitude of the fourth sister-in-law Gu, who was actually cautious and respectful, Qing Shu gently pushed away Bu Yuyan's hand and stood up with Gu Qingqiu.
The fourth sister-in-law said to the guest, "Mama Rong, take a look, my seventh brother and sister don't need to look at the appearance under the hijab, just look at the figure to know that it is beautiful." ”
Fortunately, Qing Shu kept his head down, otherwise the astonishment that flashed in his eyes would have been looked at. Mama Rong, the powerful Mama Rong, there is Mama Rong everywhere!
Mama Rong smiled faintly, and her eyes swept to the bride sitting on the new bed, "Miss Bujia's beauty is needless to say." Then he looked at Qing Shu and Gu Qingqiu, "Who are these two girls?" ”
The fourth sister-in-law Gu then introduced, "This is Miss Gu who came to eat the wedding wine, this is my cousin Gu Qingqiu." Then he looked at Qing Shu and Gu Qingqiu, who were standing side by side, and said with a smile, "This is Mama Rong next to the sixth princess, and Mama Rong who we can't see each other on weekdays, come and see her." ”
Qingshu and Gu Qingqiu took a few steps forward at the same time, and saluted, "I've seen Mama Rong." The two of them spoke out at the same time, and said the same thing, without their own names.
In fact, this was just their unintentional move, but Mama Rong's eyes obviously flashed with displeasure.
The fourth sister-in-law Gu caught it, and at the same time, she was shocked, and secretly scolded Mama Rong for being a dog. is obviously a minion, but he ran to the wedding banquet of their general's mansion to set up a noble score, and he had to go to the new house to take a look.
Mama Rong's gaze didn't stay on Gu Qingqiu's face much, but she carefully looked at Qing Shulai up and down, left and right.
Qing Shu felt uncomfortable, but he endured it without having a seizure. She hadn't forgotten Lord Yun's warning. Lord Yun said thoughtlessly to be careful with the sixth princess, and said nothing else. Now, the slave Rong Mama next to the sixth princess has appeared and still looks at her like this. She sensed something was wrong, but she quietly let Mama Rong look at it. If she could, she actually wanted to poke at the pair of dog eyes that Mama Rong looked at her like she looked at the goods.
Suddenly, Mama Rong spoke, "Are you the Gu Qingshu who completely destroyed the woman's boudoir?" ”
Fourth Sister-in-law Gu's face flashed with anger, but it disappeared quickly. actually came to make trouble on a happy day, and deceived people too much!
After a while, a nameless fire ignited in Qingshu's heart. But she didn't have a seizure, but looked up calmly, and also looked at Mama Rong opposite in the same way as she looked at the goods. Then when Mama Rong was about to change her face, she smiled and bent her eyebrows, and met the pair of dog eyes that Mama Rong showed a sneering look, "May I ask this Mama, what is the boudoir?" Do you have one? "A dog slave who can't marry for a lifetime, can only serve his master, and a dog slave who has nothing to do with the boudoir for a lifetime, dares to discuss the boudoir with her, and owes scolding.
Gu Qingqiu was stunned, and his head hung even lower.
The fourth sister-in-law Gu chuckled in her heart, and while applauding in her heart, she sweated for Qingshu. However, thinking of the rumor that Qing Shu beat the universal prince but it was not hindered, his heart was a little calm. No one dared to spread the news of the beating of the universal son, except for the person concerned, what everyone else heard was just a rumor that was out of tune.
Mama Rong stared at Qing Shu hatefully, "Sure enough, she is a woman without virtue." ”
Qing Shu tilted his head to look at her with a straight face, "What is a virtuous woman, are you virtuous?" Miss Ben is stupid and can't understand Mama's words all the time. Mama, do you want to talk in a different place? Can you please explain to Miss Ben well, what is a boudoir, and what is virtuous or not? ”
The fourth sister-in-law Gu hurriedly intervened between them, cleared her throat, and said, "Mama Rong, except for the bride who can't entertain guests here, she is an ignorant little girl. Please, please come to the front and talk, it's going to be lively over there! "If she is a smart person with a twisted mind, she will naturally understand what she says. Those who make trouble at other people's wedding banquets and add to people's blockages are not sensible! If it was the sixth princess, she naturally didn't dare to say so. But the one in front of him who wants to stir up trouble is just a slave next to the sixth princess. The dignified General's Mansion, would you still be afraid of a minion? It's a joke to say it.
Mama Rong secretly hated Gu Qingshu for being sharp-toothed, but she also knew that she would not be able to get half of the benefits of staying here any longer. She pulled out a smiling face and followed the fourth sister-in-law Gu. It's just that the glance at Qing Shu when he left was not bad.
Mama Rong is gone. Gu Qingqiu wanted to comfort Qing Shu for a few words, but he didn't know where to comfort him.
Bu Yuyan, who had been sitting silently on the new bed, spoke, "Sister Shu, don't worry, I will definitely avenge your insult today." ”
Qing Shu smiled and shook his head, "Silly girl, what revenge?" It's just a minion, why take her seriously! "She never looks down on people who are slaves and servants. But today, this Mama Rong, she decided to shout to the end as a dog slave, and not treat Mama Rong as a human being.
Bu Yuyan's words were full of anger, "Sister don't care, I know what to do." She has the support of the six princesses, so she doesn't know that the sky is high, but she doesn't know that her sister and the fifth princess are good. In front of the fifth princess, the sixth princess even ......"
"Shhhh That kind of person, don't take it to heart. Seeing that Bu Yuyan wanted to protest, she said softly, "We women have been wronged, don't run ahead of everything to solve it by yourself." What do men do? It is the person who stands up for us when our women are wronged. You have to remember your sister's words. The lady must learn to rely on the Xianggong and let the Xianggong be a hero from time to time. In front of Xianggong, you must be a lady who worships Xianggong, and let your Xianggong know how much you rely on him and love him. ”
Bu Yuyan quieted down, obviously thinking of some of the ways of getting along with husband and wife that Qing Shu taught her last night. The whispers that Qing Shu said to her last night shocked her a lot. After Qingshu slept, she couldn't sleep, so she quietly got up and went to find her mother. At that time, my father's face was very dark, but he still avoided it. She told her mother Qingshu's words. The mother had a puzzled look on her face, but she also gently told her that her sister was not in vain. The mother affirmed the way that Qingshu talked about getting along with husband and wife.
Qing Shu saw that Bu Yuyan had listened to it, so he turned around with relief, but he met Gu Qingqiu's pretty face. Only then did she remember that she seemed to have forgotten that there was a little girl standing beside her.
