Chapter 45: A Thousand Miles of Frost, Ten Miles of Red Makeup
In Ping'an City, there was another heavy snowfall, and yesterday's cold wind blew all night.
In the courtyard, there is a thick layer of snow, and the soles of your feet can sink deep when you step on it.
Uncle Tie Niu just sent Hu Xiu a morning meal, and listening to what he said, it seems that it is not only snowing heavily in Ping'an City. Near the outskirts of the city, it was also affected, and overnight, many elderly people and children were frozen to death, and how many livestock died because of the heavy snowfall.
The King of Han gave an order for disaster relief, but it is not known what kind of disaster relief can be implemented.
It also happened that his father told him yesterday that today is the day to welcome his relatives. But on the day of the wedding, such a disaster fell from heaven, and Hu Xiu always felt that it was not a good sign.
In the house, a person was eating meat buns, drinking egg soup, and holding a bun in his hand. Look, isn't the role of Uncle Baal reflected?
The stove in the room was burning, and I drank the last bite of egg soup, thinking that the medicated bath for the next time was going to be advanced again. His father only said that he would go to greet his relatives in the afternoon, and he didn't have a quasi-letter, which was really unreliable.
There were suddenly a few noises on the eaves, and a figure suddenly appeared in front of the door. Just as he was suspicious, the door suddenly opened. A girl, dressed in green clothes, with a veil on her face, was tall, and looked at Hu Xiu with flat eyes.
"Purple Smoke Girl, please come in."
I wanted to shout Shadow Nine, but I remembered the saying that the wall has ears, so it's safe to shout purple smoke.
As for how to recognize her, it is not difficult to think about it, and in King Hu's mansion, the only one in front of her is the one who can walk on the eaves and walk on the wall without being caught.
Ying Jiu didn't speak, he walked in very barelessly, he didn't even remember closing the door, and the cold air swished inside.
Hu Xiu had no choice but to close the door by himself, what happened to this girl, what gunpowder did she take, and she still came to her aunt.
"What's wrong today, unhappy? I haven't seen you in days. ”
After Hu Xiu closed the door, he didn't see him doing anything, and stood next to her. Seeing that there was some snow on her green clothes, I subconsciously helped her block it.
"I'm here to welcome the young master's newlywed."
Ying Jiu answered this question very officially, which made Hu Xiu a little uncomfortable. People who have always been not serious suddenly become serious in front of you, and they are still a little unaccustomed to it.
"Don't come, don't come with me, I and the girl I'm going to meet are just a fate. My feelings for her are like tissue paper, they will break when you poke them, how can you talk about liking them? ”
"The young master can choose not to greet his relatives."
Ying Jiu slowly took off the veil on her face, revealing her face, which was beautiful and fragrant. But he didn't expect that Ying Jiu, who had no makeup at the state banquet before, came to see him today, but his face was covered with a light layer of powder.
"How about not getting married? Are you trying to get me out of marriage? ”
"Young Master, as long as you want, Shadow Pavilion, you can take over at any time. Our Shadow Pavilion, the most important thing is the girl, if you fancy which, just say, the Shadow Pavilion arrangement. ”
Ying Jiu, this girl, is still as strong as ever, and the words she says seem to be without going through her brain. Whatever you like, you will marry whichever you like.
Doesn't this woman need to consent before she can get married? If I really did that, how would it be different from the beast?
"Are you sure?"
But with a twist of brain, Hu Xiu was ready to tease her.
"Sure."
"I want you, as well as winter snow and winter frost."
Hu Xiu snapped his fingers.
"Okay, as long as you don't dislike my age, I'm totally fine. Dongxue and Dongshuang are two girls, I also grew up watching, and they are also very willing to marry you. ”
After that, he straightened his chest, the capital was magnificent, and Hu Xiu secretly swallowed his saliva.
"No, no, no, I still can't."
"Why?"
Ying Jiu stared at Hu Xiu deadly.
"If I were alone, I might think about it."
"You can take anyone from the yard."
Hu Xiu still shook his head, how could things be as simple as he thought. Of course, it can also be said that Hu Xiu is reluctant, the son of a righteous and bright prince. One is the Shadow Pavilion Master who needs to live in the shadows for a lifetime and never be able to walk in front of the public.
If he wants to choose between these two identities, it is for his own selfishness, and he should know which one he wants.
If he insisted on choosing one of these two identities, Hu Xiu might hesitate. But since he can be the son of the prince on the surface, and he can control the Shadow Pavilion secretly, it is naturally excellent.
The human heart is always greedy!
"Ying Jiu, I'll be honest with you, I'm just a layman, and I can't give up my identity as the son of the prince, nor can I give up my identity as the young pavilion master of the Shadow Pavilion. So, you don't have to push me anymore. ”
However, Hu Xiu has an advantage, in the face of people who can maintain a certain amount of trust, he will choose to tell the truth, and when he speaks, he can always negotiate, right?
"That's it~"
Ying Jiumei's eyes revealed charm, but there was not a trace of vitality.
"So, young master, don't you hate the Shadow Pavilion?"
"Disgust? Why should I be disgusted? ”
Hu Xiu was a little confused by the second monk, and thought that Ying Jiu would lose his temper, but this person asked him some inexplicable questions instead.
"Okay, the young master answered well, my sister is very satisfied, and I will reward you."
Without waiting for Hu Xiu to react, a fragrant breeze came to his face, and his side face felt soft. Hu Xiu was standing there stupidly, and the cold wind outside the gate hit his face, only to find that Ying Jiu had left without knowing when.
The door opened, and she didn't necessarily close it. Still, her lips were quite cold.
Hu Xiu closed the door again, but how long had the door been closed, there was a knock on the door again.
"Young master, the master asked us to change your clothes."
"Come in."
Four or five maids pushed open the door and walked in. They all had things in their hands, some of them holding bronze mirrors, some of them holding wedding dresses, and a few of them were holding things in their hands, which seemed to be used by women.
"What are the ones you are taking?"
"Rouge, powder, and makeup powder."
"Come and give it to me?"
"Naturally, people with older beards get married like this, this is the custom of Dahu."
The maid with cosmetics talks a lot and looks lively.
"Okay, let's do it."
Hu Xiu stood there straight, let the maid loosen her clothes, and changed the red wedding dress.
The large bronze mirror was placed in front of Hu Xiu, and the maids took those things and smeared them on his face.
"How's it going out there now?"
The delicacy of this makeup has not necessarily been good when he touched his face for almost a quarter of an hour, so Hu Xiu couldn't help it and asked casually.
"Young Master, is it lively outside now?"
"Oh? What's the fun? ”
Hu Xiuke remembered that the banquet was only held in the afternoon, and now it has not passed noon, so why is it lively?
"The Shi family has sent the dowry, from the time to the present, and it has not been moved yet, and the carriage that sent the dowry seems to have no end.
Listening to some people who watched the excitement all the way, this carriage was pulled for ten miles. From a distance, it looks like a red thread. ”
What about red makeup? Frost for a thousand miles, so what? I only married a woman with whom I only had a one-sided relationship.
But am I a little greedy to think like this? I don't know how many poor people in this world don't have enough to eat and don't have warm clothes.
I have a wife who came to the door to be my wife, and I, I don't know how many people envy the identity, what qualifications do I have to hope for, that ethereal like?
What is like?
Joy at first sight? Or is it a confession when you are in love? Hu Xiu didn't understand, and he didn't want to understand, he only knew that he was about to marry that Shi Ling'er...
An hour is long and short, just like now, this hour is just a moment at Hu Xiu's fingertips.
"Young master, the makeup is ready, you can see for yourself."
The maid's reception made Hu Xiu return to his soul. The originally dull eyes regained their brilliance.
Looking at the man on the bronze mirror, it can be described by the word "beautiful".
But there are a few more inexplicable makeup lines on his face, which makes him even more incomprehensible, if he is a woman, how many men will have to be fascinated.
Hu Xiu saw it more clearly, and wanted to touch his face, but was grabbed by the maid who talked to him about the Shi family's red makeup at the beginning.
"Young master, if you bear with me, this makeup is easy to fall off."
The maid stared at Hu Xiu's face for a while, then lowered her head, and her face turned blushing.
"And how long do I have to wait?"
"When you're done, you can take off your makeup."
"Okay."
In the room, silence was restored, Hu Xiu stopped talking, and the maid did not dare to speak more.
Hu Xiu didn't like his face now, he envied Bai Sha, because his face was angular and angular.
I don't like his makeup even more, because this makeup makes him more feminine.
After waiting for a while, another word came from outside the house, and I heard a rough shout:
"The groom, I'm going to greet my relatives! Don't delay the hour. ”
Listening to the voice, you can know that it is his Uncle Tie Niu who is here.
"Here we are."
The maid was finally relieved, and followed Hu Xiu out of the house and dispersed. The young master, who has always been kind to his subordinates, was sullen on the wedding day, and it was the most difficult for them to be sandwiched between them.
"Young master, what are you painting on your face, it's colorful, it's not good-looking. I am just a rough man, and I don't understand the doors of your rich and noble families. ”
Uncle Tie Niu, as soon as he saw Hu Xiu coming out of the house, he commented on Hu Xiu's face for a while. But Hu Xiu doesn't get tired of him, isn't it good to be a rough person? The mind of a rough person is not like the mind of those who are so-called gentlemen.
"Uncle Tie Niu, I don't want to, but Dahu's customs are like this, I can't stand alone, right?"
"Nonsense, Dahu has this custom? When I got married, I took my mother-in-law to my house, got drunk at night, and did it with my mother-in-law, and slept until early in the morning. ”
Hu Xiu also found that the more he talked about it, the more wrong it became, why did he do that?
"Uncle, what should I do when I go out later?"
Hu Xiu opened the topic very rationally.
"There is a spring horse at the door, you can ride that horse to Shifu later. But my eldest brother told me that I would always follow you, and I would have to pull your saddle all the way, and I wouldn't let you run. ”
If Hu Xiu didn't understand it wrongly, the eldest brother that Uncle Tie Niu said was his father. It's not easy to mess with, it's not easy to mess with, it's the same generation as our father, but fortunately we didn't offend him when we met at the beginning.
Subsequently, I met Cheng Da Butler again on the way, and Hu Xiu had a deep impression of the big butler. Farewell to Moon Tower, white clothes and white face, the appearance of a jade-crowned scholar will really make people imprint in their minds.
When this iron bull met him, he actually knew him, and it was indispensable to chat. You are an iron brother, and I am an old Cheng, but I am familiar with it.
Out of the prince's mansion, a large sedan chair was placed squarely on the ground. There were eight big men on the side, dressed in red clothes of great joy, standing there, not to mention how powerful it was.
The decorations on the palanquin, especially the golden dragon, are hovering and entangled, as if they were real objects. Thinking that this dragon should be a craftsman, holding a little bit of gold dust on it, it was formed. Carefully count the number, and there are actually nine.
"Uncle Tie Niu, who sent this sedan chair?"
These nine are extremely numbered, no matter how Hu Xiu says it, he is also a person who has watched costume dramas. Isn't this Ninety-Five Supreme and Ninety-Five Supreme representing the emperor?
"I don't know, but this sedan chair was carried out of the palace."
Oh, it's from the palace, then it's fine.
Slowly walked to the front of the high-headed horse, the road was full of onlookers, obviously it was so cold today, and he was not at home to avoid the cold, what did he do when he came out?
Hu Xiu felt like he was being looked at like a monkey, and he could be judged arbitrarily, which was very uncomfortable.
The big white horse had white hair, and the hair was combed and shiny. Hu Xiu tried to pull the reins. Jumping sideways, turning over and getting on horseback.
The white horse did not stumble, let alone roar, but stood there obediently with four hooves, and was extremely angry.
ps: The title was changed from "A Thousand Acres of Good Fields, Ten Miles of Red Makeup", and the original meaning was to describe the rich dowry.
Ten miles is about 5,000 meters, and the red makeup in the text is exaggerated by the people. After all, it is normal for this person to pass from person to person, and the more it spreads, the more exaggerated it becomes.
