On the eighth day of the ninth month, it is advisable to marry and avoid the grave
The Hou Mansion in Qingyuan is full of lights, red makeup is all over the ground, the maids and wives of the Hou Mansion are busy in an orderly manner, and the small maids outside the courtyard are also not idle for a moment, splashing water, sweeping the floor, and they are very busy.
Listening to the wind and building a small building, the boudoir of the second lady of the Qingyuan Marquis's Mansion, the original fresh and elegant bamboo forest residence, is now dressed in red and green, which is very festive, but it looks a lot more cheesy. Today's marriage is the second lady Lin Muer. Xu got up too early, Lin Mu'er sat in front of the dressing mirror a little sluggishly, and let the brides-in-law dress up. Originally, the happy ladies who were lively and sweet-mouthed should have taken advantage of this time to beg and say some auspicious words, so that the main family could reward some silver, like the Hou Mansion, a happy event was done, as long as the bride had a sweet mouth, the silver rewarded was enough for the bride's family to eat for more than half a year! But today, these happy ladies and daughters-in-law seem to have a lock on their lips, and they don't open their mouths for a long time, and occasionally they just laugh wryly.
Not only the bride, but the servants in the courtyard are all silent, busy with their hands and feet, although they are busy, but no one shows joy, and the whole courtyard is a little indescribably weird.
"Madame to ......" the little maid at the gate of the courtyard sang loudly, which frightened everyone in the courtyard.
I saw a woman in her thirties walk in from the courtyard gate, refreshed, graceful, crimson and gold-pinched jacket, the woman's eyebrows and eyes were rhymed, and her face became more and more ruddy.
"My good boy, hurry up, the sedan chair of the palace has arrived at the door, just waiting for you to go out!" The woman walked into the room with a happy face, saw that Lin Mu'er had not yet dressed properly, and opened her mouth to urge. Lin Mu'er glanced at the woman a little sluggishly, then looked away, and still stared at the bronze mirror.
Seeing Lin Mu'er ignoring her, the woman's face was a little unbearable, but an old woman next to the woman quietly pressed the woman's hand, and with a smile on her face, she took out a few purses from her arms and stuffed them into the hands of the brides-in-law: "A few hard work, my girl is very happy today, and I want to ask you to be quick with your hands and feet, the sedan chair is waiting at the door, don't miss the auspicious time!" ”
The happy ladies touched their purses, this reward was a lot, and they hurriedly smiled and said, "What Mother Li said is, this is good, this is good." "Now my hands and feet are much faster, and in a few clicks, I will finish cleaning up, and I will wait to cover the dragon and phoenix hijab.
Mrs. Lin seemed to be very satisfied with the nimble hands and feet of the happy girls, nodded and smiled and said, "Okay, you go out and wait, I have some considerate words to tell the girl." ”
The servants in the room nodded yes, and they went out together, and Mother Li, who was left behind, closed the door intimately.
"Tut-......tut" There were only two people left in the room, Mrs. Lin looked around Lin Mu'er, and her eyes finally fell on Lin Mu'er's face: although her face was pale and her expression was sluggish, she had a delicate goose egg face, beautiful eyes, and light red lips, which was really innumerable: "It's a beauty, it's a pity." Although it is a pity, the ridicule in it can be heard by anyone.
Lin Mu'er didn't speak, still staring at the bronze mirror sluggishly, Mrs. Lin didn't say much when she saw this, and shook the handkerchief in her hand angrily: "Master Hou said, since you are married to the palace, you should settle down, don't be a moth again, and you will lose the reputation of the Hou Mansion in vain!" Seeing that Lin Mu'er still didn't react, Mrs. Lin snorted coldly: "You don't have to say goodbye to the Hou Ye today, whether you are marrying into the palace, the Hou Ye can't stand the princess's courtesy, so you can go out directly!" Regardless of Lin Mu'er's reaction, she walked straight to the door, and Mother Li, who was outside the house, opened the door in time, glanced at the house, and followed Mrs. Lin out. The red dragon and phoenix hijab fell, and only the bright red was left in her eyes, Lin Mu'er closed her eyes, a wry smile pulled out from the corner of her mouth, sighed lightly, and walked out with the help of the maids.
Sure enough, I didn't say goodbye to Mrs. Hou, and went directly to the gate of the Hou Mansion, the onlookers, the red sedan chair, the lively suona, and the dark tablet.
"Poor ......"
"Whoever says no, if you marry you, you will be widowed."
"Oh my life!"
"This Hou Ye is really willing!"
"Shhh
The endless discussion in the crowd, although they did not dare to be loud and lowered their voices, but the words were so clear and sounded in their ears.
"Second Miss Lin, the eleventh imperial uncle of the Song Dynasty is married!" Gu Zhisong, the fourth son of the emperor, but sixteen years old, the prince of Linlin, the only one of the emperor's five sons to be crowned the prince, at this moment is sitting on the horse that was originally ridden by the groom's official, wearing a prince's python robe, indescribable romance, but, holding the reins in one hand, and holding a tablet wrapped in red silk in the other, it is written: The position of Gu Moyan, the prince of Jin. Hearing this, Lin Mu'er paused slightly, nodded slightly, and was helped into the sedan chair by bending over.
As soon as the sedan chair got up, the water in the big basin in the Hou Mansion was splashed on the ground, and regardless of the onlookers, the gate of the Hou Mansion was closed heavily!
The blowing and blowing all the way, the joy shook the sky, ten miles of red makeup, meandering half of the capital, so spectacular! Not long after, the sedan chair stopped at the Jin Palace, and it was still Gu Zhisong who kicked the sedan door with the tablet, which was not only for him to marry, but also for the etiquette.
But in the end, it is a royal family affair, all the procedures are not sloppy, no matter how big or small, they are all properly arranged, however, perhaps this family affair is a little unreasonable, most of the guests who came to watch the ceremony have a wooden face, dare not show their emotions, not laughing, not laughing, all looking forward to finishing things quickly. After all, although the King of Jin is gone, the 300,000 troops under his command are still there, if these rough men know that Princess Jin is despised, and a copy of the fold is handed to the emperor, it will not be able to eat and walk around, plus the emperor is also more protective of this younger brother, otherwise no one will be gone, and he insists on giving him a kiss.
"Licheng! Send it to the cave room! With the shout of Xi Niang, Miss Lin Er really became the princess of Jin.
In the cave room, the dragon and phoenix are swaying.
"His Royal Highness Linwang, pick Xipa!" Xi Niang smiled and presented the happy name, usually, the Xi Niang will always say a few auspicious words, but at this time, I am afraid that it is not appropriate to say this, say more wrong, accidentally lose your head is not a joke, simply picked up the most straightforward words, and did not say much else.
Gu Zhisong hesitated slightly, but still stepped forward to take the happy name, and gently picked Xipa, Lin Mu'er only felt that his eyes were bright, a little dazzling, and he couldn't help but close his eyes. The red cover was lifted off, revealing Lin Mu'er's true face, Gu Zhisong had not yet married, and had never seen a woman dressed up so gorgeously, but she felt that under the backdrop of the red wedding dress, Lin Mu'er was a little too beautiful to be like a real person, and her heart suddenly "clicked", as if she had missed a beat.
After a pause, Lin Mu'er slowly opened her eyes, and saw a young man wearing a python robe and a golden crown standing in front of her, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, handsome and extraordinary.
Seeing that Lin Mu'er opened her eyes, Gu Zhisong immediately came back to her senses and coughed lightly: "Today's errand for Zhisong has been completed, the eleventh imperial aunt should rest early, my nephew has taken his leave!" As he spoke, he respectfully placed the tablet he had been holding on the table, arched his hand towards Lin Mu'er, and walked out of the house with his feet raised.
"Thank you!" Lin Mu'er opened his mouth and said, no matter what, after all, this Gu Zhisong has been busy all day, and it is also appropriate to say thank you.
Xu didn't expect Lin Mu'er to open his mouth to thank him, Gu Zhisong paused, but did not look back: "It should be." ”
"Princess, rest early, the slaves and maids will go down first." The happy ladies said with a smile on their faces. This day's busy work is much more tiring than the previous family affairs, I don't dare to say more, I don't dare to see more, I am afraid of touching the mold, and the reward is a trivial matter, but don't lose your head is serious. It's so easy to get up to the end of the hijab, why don't you hurry up? Besides, there is no groom official, and the brides don't dare to submit a glass of wine, press the bed or something, isn't it unpleasant to find it yourself, and it is the best policy to go!
Lin Mu'er nodded, the maid on the side was also clever, took out a few purses and stuffed them into the hands of the bride, the bridesmaids were busy thanking, and regardless of the amount of reward, they hurriedly followed the maid out.
"Wait for the young lady to bathe." A mother-in-law in pale blue clothes commanded.
According to ordinary family affairs, how can you rest at this time, the groom is always outside with the wine, this cave room has to be made a fuss, less than three watches in the middle of the night, how can you rest? However, in this family affair, there is no groom official, and the guests who drink outside are just meaningful, and they disperse after a few sips, and there is no one who does not open their eyes to make trouble in the cave room, so the mother-in-law opened her mouth to let the bride rest.
Hearing this, a few maids came up, unloaded those cumbersome decorations for Lin Mu'er, took off the cumbersome wedding clothes, and helped Lin Mu'er to the bath room.
"Miss, use something." It's still the mother-in-law in pale blue clothes, holding a tray in her hand, with a bowl of noodles and three dishes in it, "My body and bones are not yet complete, and I haven't eaten much today, but I don't dare to be so hungry." ”
Lin Mu'er glanced at the woman and nodded, "You all go down." ”
"Miss......" The maid in pink clothes and with a wishful hairstyle on the side said a little anxiously.
The mother-in-law in light blue clothes quickly glanced at the maid and shook her head gently, but the maid had to swallow the words that came to her mouth hard, twisted a handkerchief and led the others down.
The mother-in-law put the food on the table: "Miss, hurry up and use some, it's easy to hurt your stomach when it's cold for a while, mom I'm waiting outside the door, if you want something, just call me." As he spoke, he looked at Lin Mu'er, who was sitting in front of the dressing mirror.
Lin Mu'er didn't look at her, just nodded slightly, and the mother-in-law swallowed her words, didn't say anything anymore, and bowed her head and retreated. Lin Mu'er stroked a strand of long hair on his chest, wet and cool, his fingers curled up the hair, loosened it, rolled it up again, and his thoughts gradually drifted away......
