248:The Great Wedding (1)
Three days later.
As soon as the sky was hazy, Nalan Jinxiu was pulled up by the grandmother assigned by Mrs. Ji. Ji Xiang Ruyi knew that the master was weak, and wanted her to sleep a little longer, but when she saw Mama Guo's menacing appearance, she still didn't dare to stop it.
Nalan Jinxiu was pressed to sit in front of the dresser in a daze, feeling that she could fall asleep while sitting. My grandmother said that we couldn't meet before marriage, so she endured it for two and a half days without seeing her third brother. Who knew that the third brother came to knock on the window last night, and she thought that there was something important, but she asked her to play chess with him.
When it comes to chess, where can she be his opponent? No matter how many pieces he gives her, she will lose in the end. After a few games like this, Ji Hongye finally ran out of patience, and asked her to get out of the way and play against herself.
She didn't understand why he was playing chess in her room when he wanted to play chess by himself, but he didn't move after two rushes, so she watched beside him, and before she knew it, it was the middle of the night.
She didn't know when she fell asleep, how she ran to bed, and when she woke up, she was pulled up by Mama Guo. The third brother should have slept in the middle of the night, and he doesn't know how his spirit is today.
"Miss Jin, it's time to open your face. Mama Guo was followed by an elderly mother-in-law, who took out some tools and put them away.
Nalan Jinxiu didn't hear what she said clearly, and when she realized that she was in pain and was about to scream, the mother-in-law had already finished her face. She couldn't help but sigh, this mother-in-law's hands and feet are really nimble, if she is an ordinary person, she will inevitably wail a few times when she opens her face, she hasn't started yet, and people have already done it.
"Brother Ye is a distressing person, this open-faced mother-in-law was invited by him from the palace, so I'm afraid that you will hurt. Mama Guo said while beckoning the people behind her to put on her makeup.
Nalan Jinxiu sat there motionless, smeared on his face by those people, and then coiled his hair. There were too many headdresses on her head today, which made her scalp hurt for a while. Her sleepiness was so tossed and gone, and it was really not easy to say that the book woman's bun was really heavy, and it was very heavy.
When everything was cleaned up, Nalan Jinxiu dared to look up at the person in the mirror, and the surprise at that moment made her speechless. What's this, what's the makeup on this? Why is it so gorgeous?
"Girl, are you hungry?" asked Jixiang in a whisper next to her.
"Sort of. ”
"I'll bring you a bowl of porridge. ”
"I want to have breakfast. ”
"No, you're wearing a lot of makeup right now, so you can only eat some liquid food. ”
Nalan Jinxiu had no choice but to hold back, and she didn't know if it was because her body was weak or because the things on her head were too heavy, anyway, she felt that it was difficult for her to raise her head. Jixiang fed her half a bowl of red bean porridge, rinsed her mouth with water, and pulled Ruyi to see if she had damaged her lipstick. It wasn't until Ruyi repeatedly assured that it was exactly the same as before after applying makeup, that Jixiang gave up.
Then Mrs. Ji came and sent away all the auspicious wishes, leaving only Mama Guo. Nalan Jinxiu vaguely knew what her grandmother was going to instruct, so she was so ashamed that she didn't even dare to raise her head, anyway, it was difficult for her to raise her head now.
"Your mother went early, and you have been raising you by my side, and it stands to reason that I want you to know about these things between husband and wife. Before, it was because you were too young, and now because the marriage was done in a hurry, I will simply say a few words to you, you must remember it carefully. ”
Nalan Jinxiu wanted to nod, but found that it was really difficult for him to nod, so he hummed very obediently.
Old Madam Ji had already thought of a set of rhetoric before, but now she felt that she didn't know how to speak, so she only stuffed a picture album to Nalan Jinxiu, and said softly: "You can take a look and learn from the above." It doesn't matter if you can't learn, anyway, your third brother is older than you, he should understand. ”
Of course, Nalan Jinxiu knew what her grandmother gave her, and she also knew what she was told. It was precisely because she knew that she was even more shy, and she didn't dare to look at her grandmother, she just hoped that she would go back after handing over the atlas to herself.
When Mrs. Ji saw her like this, she thought of her mother's marriage back then, and then thought of her dying at a young age, and she felt some sadness in her heart for no reason.
She held Nalan Jinxiu's hand and said, "Women are all going to get married, and it is not so easy to marry into her husband's family, fortunately, Ye'er cherishes you very much, and it will not be bad for you to come." Your mother has a spirit in heaven, and it should be very comforting to see you getting married today. ”
Nalan Jinxiu wanted to tell her that she was not her own granddaughter, but when she saw the light in the old lady's eyes, she couldn't say it. She has reached the age of old, and with the extent she loves her daughter, if she knows the truth, she will not be able to stand it.
After I don't know how long I waited, there was a commotion outside, and with the sound of firecrackers, she faintly heard someone say that the groom was coming.
It stands to reason that when the welcoming team comes, it is necessary to embarrass the groom. On the day of the big day, naturally there can only be a fight, but there is no family here in Nalan Jinxiu, and everyone knows that the groom is only eight buckets high, so no one dares to get an axe.
"Come, follow them out, someone will carry you to the sedan chair at the door. Old Madam Ji admonished in a gentle voice.
The red hijab blocked Nalan Jinxiu's view, and she only felt that she was being dragged out the door by someone. Then he was helped and lay on a slightly thin back. She also knew that the woman needed to be carried by her brother when she got on the sedan chair, but she didn't know who would carry it, and now, she was a little curious about the person who carried her.
Looking at him through the corner of the hijab, I only saw that his chin was straight, but it was inexplicably familiar. She lifted the corner of her hijab with her hands, and the side of her back came into view. She suddenly felt a little excited in her heart, who is this handsome person who is not Ji Hongxuan?
"Sixth brother, why are you back?" she asked in a low voice.
Ji Hongxuan, who was carrying her on his back, didn't have a trace of a smile on his face, and he said in a hoarse voice: "When you get married, how can you do it without someone close to you?" If it weren't for the fact that his brother was injured, he would have come in person. ”
"It turned out that my brother asked you to come back. ”
Ji Hongxuan wanted to say that even if there was no arrangement from his brother, he would come and send one. He used to think that as long as he worked hard enough, he would be worthy of her one day. But he never thought about what if she didn't like him, what if she had a heart?
Why did she like the third brother? Why couldn't she wait for him? It turned out that they were so harmonious and so close together, and he had thought more than once that it was God's arrangement to meet her. Why is it that in just two years, things are already wrong?
Nalan Jinxiu felt his silence and said in a low voice, "Can you stay for a few days when you come back this time?"
"What's wrong?"
Nalan Jinxiu felt that growing up was really not a good thing, if this question had been asked before, he would have excitedly asked what to do here, is there anything fun to do here, and now it is such a deep tone, very similar to Xu Jince.
"It's nothing, it's just that it's not easy to see each other, after you return to Northern Xinjiang, you don't know when you will come back, and I want to be happy for you when you leave. ”
The distance from the door to the sedan chair was not far, Ji Hongxuan knew that she was about to belong to someone else, he forcibly suppressed the sadness in his heart, and said, "I'll wait for you to return to the door." ”
These five words made Nalan Jinxiu's heart suddenly hurt violently. In the last life, when she got married, Daddy and Auntie said the same thing to her. She thought that in this life, she would never hear anyone say this to her again. Her arms tightened around Ji Hongxuan's neck, and finally shed tears that girls would shed when they got married.
Ji Hongxuan, who was carrying her smoothly, suddenly stagnated, and he said in a hoarse voice: "Silly girl, what are you crying about?"
Nalan Jinxiu also felt embarrassed, and quibbled: "The girl's family has to cry when she gets married, which is called the golden bean." ”
"I don't care about those pedantic rules, I just know that you have to be happy when you get married, so that you can live a good life in the future. ”
Nalan Jinxiu's tears flowed even more fiercely, sliding down his collar, burning Ji Hongxuan's heart and mouth. In addition to being hoarse, his voice was mixed with a hint of choking: "Jin'er, you must be happy." ”
"Well, I will, and so do you. ”
After Nalan Jinxiu said this, he was put into the sedan chair. The dumplings are carried by eight people, and the inside is very spacious, and the movement is also very smooth. The cheers outside the sedan chair and the sound of happy cannons shook the sky, but they couldn't erase the desolation in her heart.
Until she touched the jade hairpin pinned between her sideburns, which was handed to her by the third brother after she came back. It's the butterfly love flower, it's the New Year's gift he gave her, and it has their common memory. Her frantic heart gradually settled down, she has a third brother in this life, she will be happy and will not repeat the mistakes of the past.
Because she got married from Jifu, and in the end, Jiaozi would return to Jifu, so she just took a short turn on the street. She felt that she had not been on the sedan chair for long before she fell off the sedan chair, and someone supported her and stuffed a piece of red silk into her hand.
She saw that the end of the red silk was held by another man, because he was covered with a hijab, and only his clean soaphorn boots, and a bright red hem. She knew that the person was the third brother, and her heart became extremely peaceful and calm, as if there was a clear stream running through her heart.
She followed Ji Hongye's footsteps and walked through the long red wedding carpet. Then the person in front of her suddenly paused, and said in the usual plain tone: "Be careful, there is a threshold here, be careful not to fall." ”
There was a Xi Po next to him, Ji Hongye's tone was the same as usual, but it was inexplicably soft and indescribable, which made people feel very ironed when they heard it.
Nalan Jinxiu laughed when she heard it, but she didn't have time to take care of it. She only nodded her head slightly, because the things on her head were heavy, and her range of movements was very small, and she didn't know if her third brother saw it......
