Chapter 29 Joyful Branches
Ten miles of red makeup dyed a city, and after the wedding, he showed his edge
An old man in cloth with a burden on his back, walking on the street, looking old, walking, but walking like flying, I don't know what I remembered, I quickened my pace, I was already trotting, accidentally bumped into a pedestrian, the pedestrian just wanted to raise his head and scold, saw that it was an acquaintance, and asked, "Uncle Li, what are you running on this big day?" Where are you going? ”
Uncle Li steadied his steps and replied: "You don't know, today's Nanxiong Marquis Mansion's most favored son-in-law's wedding, Nanxiong Marquis Mansion is worthy of Nanxiong Marquis Mansion, that magnificent, posture, spacious and luxurious, it can be compared with the prince's wedding, not only that, Minghou Mansion also opened a three-day flowing water banquet for the people in the three major restaurants in the capital, all the people in the capital, as long as you step in, it is delicious and delicious to entertain. In the evening, on the side of the Luo River, there is a banquet, fireworks, and you can also watch the prostitutes on the boat dance, not to tell you, the old Yuju has long been crowded, can not squeeze in, the Xuanyi Pavilion must also be full, I have to rush to Tao Weng Lou now, maybe lucky, can also occupy a place to eat! ”
After Uncle Li finished speaking, he exerted force on his toes and rushed away.
The pedestrian sighed: "This old thing is really not in bad health, he runs a thief fast, anyway, there are such good things, I will also go and see." Hey, Uncle Liu, you wait for me!"
Shifu's kitchen is not lively, the cook who cooks, the mother-in-law who lays down, and the girl who serves the dishes to and from people, constantly going in and out, the people who see are dazzled, a yellow-clothed maid with double snail temples came out of the kitchen with a fruit bowl, she walked fast, she could see her excitement and cheerfulness from her steps, accidentally tripped when she went down the last step of the stairs, fell down, a girl next to her hurriedly helped her up, and brought the fruit bowl on the ground and a plate of fresh fruit from the kitchen again.
"Sister Caiyun, slow down, I've already changed this fruit, let's go to Miss Six!"
"Jinzhu, thank you." After speaking, he went to Yan Mingju.
A girl discussed, "Okay, Sister Jinzhu, if you would help her normally, I'm afraid that she would have been watching the joke on the sidelines a long time ago, maybe she would make up for it behind Caiyun's buttocks, why did you call Sister Caiyun today, hehe." The girl held a plate of pastries in her hand and covered her mouth and smiled.
"Today is different from the past, Miss Fifth is over, Miss Six is now married to the second son of Nanxiong Mansion, and she will be the head of Nanxiong Mansion in the future. In the past, I was blamed for being stupid, and I didn't have a good chance of settling some colorful clouds, but I was afraid that I would settle old accounts with me, and I wouldn't be able to eat and walk around! The girl also took a plate of pastries, said this, and was about to turn around and leave to deliver food to the banquet hall.
Jin Zhu turned around and saw a terrifying scene, Qiao Sui didn't know when she was standing behind her with a black face, she must have listened to what she said, she smashed the pastry to the ground in fright, and all the girls knelt down with the things in their hands to plead guilty, Jin Zhu trembled and said: "Madam, the slave should die, please forgive Madame!" ”
Qiao Sui didn't speak for a long time, Jin Zhu lowered his head, tears and sweat welled up together, just waited for a while, but it was like a long year, and finally waited for Qiao Sui's gentle verdict: "Jin Zhu, on the wedding day of Ming Gongzi and Miss Liu, you knocked over the pastry, it is a blasphemy against their marriage, and the crime is unforgivable. ”
Jin Zhu desperately kowtowed and begged for mercy: "Madam, please spare your life, the slave doesn't dare anymore, Madam, spare your life!" The heart-rending sound couldn't stop the strong man who dragged her away.
Jin Zhu's fate was Qiao Sui killing the chicken to show the monkey, she glanced at the maid kneeling on the ground and the grandmother who came out of the kitchen, "You must always remember that in the future, Miss Six is the young lady of Nanxionghou, how noble her identity is, if you have a little slack, you will end up with Jin Zhu girl, understand?" ”
Everyone nodded and understood, in fact, where is the slave who wants to punish the slacking slave for Miss Six, it is clearly to warn everyone to recognize the master, the owner of the mansion is her Qiao Sui, who dares to flatter Gao Yang again, will die a miserable death!
Today is the day of Gao Yang's wedding, Gao Yang is sitting in front of the dresser, now he is dressed neatly, put on the bridal makeup, what he has to do now is to quietly wait for the groom to arrive, Gao Yang looked at the gorgeous jade face in the mirror, the bride to be married, looked at himself in the mirror, and suddenly fell into the memories of a few days ago.
At that time, Ming Dailing had officially hired and proposed, Qiao Sui's attitude was very uncooperative, Ming Dailing reluctantly agreed to Gao Yang's marriage three days before he reluctantly agreed to live in Shi Mansion three days before Gao Yang's marriage, and was not allowed to harm Gao Yang, and finally did not feel at ease, and sent his personal guard Qianchan with dozens of people to guard outside Yan Mingju day and night, and sent twenty maids and grandmothers to take care of and serve, all the arrangements of Yan Mingju were handled by the people of Nanxiong Mansion, including the wedding day, Shifu's banquet, the cook, and all the matters were from Nanxiong Mansion.
Gao Yang planned to stay in Yan Mingju for the last three days, but there was an uninvited guest to visit, this person was Zhou Yitian, as soon as Gao Yang heard Qianchan's report, he didn't want to see him in death, so he refused the guest directly, or Zhou Yitian repeatedly asked to see, Gao Yang reluctantly agreed.
As soon as they saw each other, Gao Yang's tone was indifferent: "What's the matter with you, let's leave after speaking!"
"Gao Yang, you are really good, so grudgeful! Villain too! Zhou Xiaotian didn't wait for Gao Yang to invite him, and sat down by himself.
"I'm a woman, I'm not a gentleman, I hold grudges!" Gao Yang clasped his hands on his chest, Caiyun came over to entertain Zhou Yitian, Gao Yang shouted angrily: "I want to drink tea and ask him to pour it himself!" You put the tea down! ”
Caiyun put down the tea with a confused face and silently exited the room.
"I said Gongzi Zhou, I'm going to get married soon, how can you come into my boudoir, don't cause me to lose my reputation!"
"In this case, I would like to congratulate the Gaoyang girl on marrying the Nanxiong Marquis Mansion and finding the Ruyi Langjun!" Leng hummed and was about to leave.
Gao Yang stopped him: "Stop, what do you mean, you Baba is looking for me, just to say this?" ”
"Yes, farewell!"
"Wait...... Sit down...... Brother Zhou! Gao Yang was finally willing to bow his head and call him Brother Zhou.
When Brother Zhou saw Gao Yang bowing his head, he was no longer angry, and his tone softened a lot: "I came to fulfill my promise, you almost died in Su Yuetang, I came to give my sister Gao Yang a dowry!" ”
"You mean the 20,000 gold dowry you promised me, and what you said is true?" Gao Yang was shocked, Gao Yang was penniless, it was impossible for Qiao Sui to give her a dowry, she knew a little about the customs in the capital, everyone from a famous family married a girl, they were all dowry, the so-called ten miles of red makeup was spread all over the ground, the more dowry, the higher the status of the woman's husband's family in the future.
Although Gao Yang comforted himself that he didn't have to care about these vain decency, he really let a person slip into the Nanxiong Marquis Mansion, Gao Yang is an earthly person, he has no confidence and no dignity, and now Zhou Yang naively parachuted into her 20,000 gold, Gao Yang suddenly felt a little guilty about Zhou Yitian, before that, she hated Zhou Yitian for a long time.
After that, Zhou Mintian said something shocking to her, these words were like a heavy alarm bell in her life, waking up an innocent and stupid girl, waking up a person who has always been intoxicated in dreams and refuses to face reality, Gao Yang is not stupid, many things can be understood as long as you think about it carefully, Zhou Mintian is right: in Shu there is a royal brother to protect, when you arrive in the capital Gaoyang is nothing, you can't fight Shi Mingyu, who has the identity of a concubine and is favored by her mother; Qiao Sui, who can't fight ruthlessly and has a complex background; Yuan Shenyu, who is not as tender as water, is full of talent; can't fight the slightly scheming Yuzhu, if the county lord of Ziyun who loves Ming Dailing also comes to participate, she can't fight either, she can't fight anyone. Three days later, he officially married Nanxiong Houfu, Nanxiong Houye's power leaned towards the government and the opposition, the house was piled up with gold and jade, the human feelings were complicated, and the big family was fighting endlessly since ancient times, stepping into the Ming Mansion, this life is tied to the power of the capital in one place, and the struggle against the plot is tied in one place, the capital is a big dye vat, no matter how clean you are, you have to dye a layer of color!
Gao Yang's mind resounded Zhou Mintian's words over and over again: "In the future, only you can protect yourself!" ”
Suddenly, Mu Zhiqing's words also came out: "Innocence is stupidity, stupidity will have to die!"
Caiyun walked to Gao Yang's room step by step with the fruit plate, tonight, the bright moon is in the sky, the breeze is blowing, the big red lanterns in the courtyard, the big red happy words, couplets, and red ribbons are hung on the courtyard trees, today is the big day of my own miss, Miss, although I have only taken care of you for a year, but you are innocent and pure, treat me like a sister, although I am very stupid, always make trouble for you, but you never dislike me, I will always take care of you in the future, congratulations on finally finding a lover, finally, do not have to stay in this desperate place.
Caiyun gently pushed open the door and placed the fruit plate on the Gao Yang dressing table, "Miss, you're hungry, eat something quickly." ”
Gao Yang turned his head: "I'm not hungry." ”
The moment she turned her head, Caiyun was really impressed by her world-class appearance, only to see Gao Yang, who was sitting on the yellow rosewood square chair, wearing a big red embroidered python dress, because Gao Yang said that he didn't like too luxurious, he did not bring a phoenix crown and a veil, but combed his high sideburns, crowned with a big red flower, and a few matching golden flowers were inserted on the side, and the top of his sideburns was a golden phoenix hairpin with a tired silk inlaid treasure bead, and there was plum blossom makeup on his forehead, his lips were red, his skin was like clotted fat, his eyes were bright, and he was wearing a red shirt on his upper body, with a collar from top to bottom, and a circle of exquisite and beautiful peony patterns on the side. I heard that this circle of peony patterns alone was made by the royal embroidery lady for four days and five nights. In this seat, it is really like the heavenly immortals descending to earth, and the four are amazing!
"Miss, you are so beautiful! You're the most beautiful bride I've ever seen! After Caiyun finished speaking, she actually cried.
"Silly girl, what are you crying about?"
Caiyun wiped her tears with her sleeve: "Miss, I'm so happy, you finally got through it, and in the future, you will marry into the Ming Mansion, glory and wealth, love and grace, all of them!" ”
"Glory and wealth, love and grace, it's too early to say this!"
"Don't let Miss say that, Miss must be happy to marry in the past, it must be!" Caiyun excitedly grabbed the words, she hadn't read a book, and it was said that she would definitely not.
Gao Yang smiled: "Okay, good, it won't be!" ”
Caiyun's eyes have been on Gao Yang and she is reluctant to leave, only to see Gao Yang pause for a while after speaking, she raised her eyes, the eyelashes were like a sleeping butterfly, suddenly opened her wings, she said, as if to answer Caiyun, and as if to say to herself: "In the future, no one can hurt us!" ”
