Chapter 202: Marriage (2)
Meng Xiaoran's heart was both excited and nervous, with such a mood, she didn't know when she fell asleep.
Almost as soon as she fell asleep, she was woken up, Nishang looked at the sleepy Meng Xiaoran and said softly: "Girl, it's not too early, it's time to get up, I'm going to bathe and change clothes, and Quanfu's mother should come in a while."
Even though Meng Xiaoran was reluctant in his heart, he still knew that he couldn't be willful today, so he could only grit his teeth and get up, bathe and change his clothes under the service of Ni Shang and Cuckoo Lily, and put on a newly made red underwear.
The cuckoo nodded to the lily, and the two walked out, and after a while, the two of them each brought a tray over, and the cuckoo brought a bowl of longan egg custard and put it in front of Meng Xiaoran, "Master, hurry up and eat the bowl mat to pad your stomach, I'm afraid you won't have time to eat today." ”
There was a plate of small and delicate osmanthus cakes in Lily's tray, and she packed the pastries and put them in a clean red brocade bag, "Master, the slave maid made some osmanthus cakes, you take this cake with you, and eat one when you are hungry, the slave and maid deliberately make it smaller, one bite at a time, and it will not touch the lips, so you don't have to worry about ruining the makeup." ”
Nishang nodded and said with a smile: "It's still Lily's ingenuity, this pastry is only the size of a finger, it's really thoughtful."
Meng Xiaoran looked at the three of them and said with a smile: "The three of you are all good, everyone has their own strengths, and I will count on you in the future."
This time she married to the Shen Mansion, and the Nishang and Cuckoo Lily sisters were all going to marry together, and the relationship between the three of them was naturally the best for her.
While a few people were talking and laughing, there was a sound outside the door, it was Quanfu's mother invited by the Song family to come, Meng Xiaoran just finished eating the longan egg custard, and Du Juan hurriedly took the empty bowl.
Quanfu's mother was accompanied by several women, all of whom were invited by the Song family, and they were strong and popular, after all, Meng Xiaoran had no family and friends in Yunzhou, and it was not good if they were too lonely when they got married.
There were many people in the room and immediately became lively, Quanfu's mother opened her face for Meng Xiaoran, said a lot of auspicious words, and then began to dress up for her, one of those women came out, she was the most famous dresser in Yunzhou City, and the Song family specially invited her to dress up for Meng Xiaoran, which shows that she attaches great importance to it.
Then she was like a puppet doll, letting them fiddle, and there were voices of admiration from those women from time to time, all praising Meng Xiaoran's beauty.
When the makeup and hair bun were done, and the hour was not early, the woman picked up the phoenix crown on the dresser, and put it on for Meng Xiaoran with the help of several people, she only felt that her head was pressed down by a heavy thing, and her scalp was tight.
"Okay, let's put on the wedding dress, just put on the wedding dress." The woman said, and when Ni Shang heard this, she and Du Juan immediately carried Meng Xiaoran's wedding dress hanging in the room.
All the people in the room, including the woman who was dressed, took a breath and were dumbfounded at the sight of the wonderful wedding dress in front of them.
Meng Xiaoran used almost all her efforts to design the only wedding dress in her life, the patterns on it were all made by her reading a lot of ancient calligraphy and paintings, plus some chic designs, and this wedding dress looked exquisite.
The sun gradually rose, and a ray of sunlight came in through the window, making the wedding dress glow with brilliance, and some people shouted, "This is the snow silkworm brocade!" ”
Snow silkworm brocade, is the most famous brocade in the south of the Yangtze River, but also the most difficult, because the silkworm needs to be cultivated in the snow mountain, there is very little survival, the annual output of brocade is only two, but this brocade is very exquisite, in the sun will reflect different colors, Ambilight like amber in general, I didn't expect her wedding dress to use snow silkworm brocade!
Everyone gasped, such a precious cloth is definitely not something that Meng Xiaoran can get at such a price, I am afraid that she can't buy it even if she has money, it must have been sent by the Shen family, everyone sighed about the Shen family's family and Meng Xiaoran's good life, it seems that this bride is very valued by the son of the Shen family.
"Mothers, it's not too early, let's put on a wedding dress for our girl." Seeing that everyone didn't move, Nishang had to remind her, and everyone came back to their senses, and they all sighed with emotion, and hurriedly helped Meng Xiaoran change into this exquisite and priceless wedding dress, everyone unconsciously became careful, for fear of damaging this precious snow silkworm brocade.
After wearing it, Meng Xiaoran was the most appropriate to describe it with bright light, and looked straight at everyone in the room, and the women sighed, "This bride is the most iconic I have seen over the years, it is like a fairy descending from the earth, so that I can't take my eyes off this woman." ”
"It's not ......"
Everyone praised me word by word, and praised Meng Xiaoran a little embarrassed, at this time there was a sound of firecrackers outside the door, and Quanfu's mother immediately said: "Come, come, the groom is coming to pick up the kiss, quickly put on the hijab and sit on the bed."
Du Juan and Lily helped Meng Xiaoran to sit on the edge of the bed, Quanfu's mother took the hijab to cover her for her, stuffed a big and red apple, and muttered in her mouth, "Catch it, be safe!" ”
Meng Xiaoran looked down at the apple in his hand, and couldn't help but hold it tightly, there was a sound of laughter outside the door, and after a while, the sound was close, and he heard the happy bride's laughter, "The groom official is here, the groom official is here!" ”
Meng Xiaoran heard a sound of footsteps, and then saw a pair of black boots appear in front of her eyes, she thought it was Shen Qian, but it turned out to be Chen Jingfeng's voice, "Sister, come, big brother carries you out." ”
This is the custom here, and when a woman is married, her brother carries her out on her back and sedan chair.
Meng Xiaoran lay on Chen Jingfeng's back, feeling sad for no reason, "Sister, you must live a good life after you get married, if someone bullies you, you must tell me." ”
"Well, I know, big brother." Meng Xiaoran's eyes were hot as she spoke, and a tear fell, and she couldn't tell why she was crying, so she couldn't help it.
After coming out of the door, Chen Jingfeng stopped and handed Meng Xiaoran to Shen Qian, Shen Qian picked her up at the waist, put her in the sedan chair, and finally quietly shook her hand before leaving.
The sound of firecrackers sounded again, the sedan chair was lifted, and the mighty welcoming team left the small cloth alley, walked around Yunzhou City, and finally stopped at the gate of Shenfu.
In the crackling sound of firecrackers, Meng Xiaoran only heard the sedan door being kicked, and then heard Shen Qian's voice sound, "Lady, give me your hand." ”
Meng Xiaoran heard him call himself like this, his face couldn't help but turn red, he held the apple in his left hand, and handed his right hand to him, his hand was wide and warm, which made people feel at ease for no reason.
After stepping over the brazier, Meng Xiaoran and Shen Qian's hands were stuffed with a piece of red silk, one of them led one end, and the two went down to the main hall surrounded by a group of people.
Song and Shen Yu were both red-faced, the two looked at each other and smiled, a couple of newcomers worshiped heaven and earth and then sent into the cave room, Xi Niang has been following beside her, constantly saying happy words.
"Let the bridegroom lift his head."
Shen Qian picked up the scale rod on the red silk and picked up the red hijab on Meng Xiaoran's head, everyone took a breath, and after a while, someone said, "Oh, this bride is so beautiful!"
"Yes, it's like a heavenly fairy!"
Shen Qian was also stupid, it was the first time he saw such a glamorous Meng Xiaoran, his eyebrows were picturesque, they were outlined more delicately, his red lips were full, and he was as delicate as a drop, which couldn't help but remind him of the fragrant memories of the wind and rain upstairs......
"Oh, don't be stunned by the groom, hurry up and drink a glass of wine!" Xi Niang's words brought Shen Qian back to his senses, his face was slightly hot, a little embarrassed, coughed lightly, picked up two glasses of wine, handed one to Meng Xiaoran, the two sat opposite each other, and drank a glass of wine.
Xi Niang said a few more auspicious words, and Shen Qian smiled at Meng Xiaoran and said, "I'm going out to drink for a while, and let them accompany you."
Meng Xiaoran nodded, Shen Qian went out, Xi Niang and a group of women and young ladies who watched the excitement stayed for a while, Meng Xiaoran nodded to Ni Shang, and Ni Shang stuffed one of the purses prepared before to each person, and put a piece of broken silver in it, and made a colorful head.
The unmarried ladies gave another Jinpa, and after thanking them, they said goodbye and left.
Lily breathed a sigh of relief, "It's finally all gone, master, let us take off the phoenix crown for you and rest for a while." ”
Meng Xiaoran nodded, this phoenix crown weighed five or six catties, and it had been pressing on her head for more than an hour, and her head was a little unbearable.
Nishang and Cuckoo both stepped forward to help, and carefully removed the wind crown studded with jewels and jade, and Lily asked again, "Master, are you hungry?" Snacks on the table. ”
Meng Xiaoran tossed all morning, only ate the bowl of longan egg custard when she first got up, she was already hungry, if it weren't for the small snack prepared by Lily, I was afraid that she would have to put her chest against her back, she wanted to stand up and walk to the table to eat by herself.
Nishang stopped her, "Girl, it's better not to move around in your wedding dress, I'll bring you some snacks." ”
Meng Xiaoran looked down at the complicated wedding dress on her body, and had to nod, but she was really a little tired after eating too many pastries, so she got drunk after only eating two pieces, and said to the three girls: "You three should also eat some, I am hungry after a busy morning, and I am afraid that I will not eat lunch, and I don't know when I will make trouble outside." ”
The three of them nodded, and they all ate some snacks and tea on the table, but after a while, a maid brought a food box, saying that it was ordered by the young master to be sent to the young grandmother.
Nishang and Cuckoo Lily glanced at each other and smiled happily, it seems that their uncle is very good to the master, Nishang took out the food in the food box, took the food over with a small tray, and let Meng Xiaoran sit on the bed and eat his stomach.
"Alright, you guys should eat it too."
Lily's personality is the most outstanding, and at this time he couldn't help but smile and said: "Shen Gongzi is really good to his master, and he doesn't forget his master when he is socializing outside, and he is worried that she will be hungry." ”
When the cuckoo heard her words, he immediately frowned and scolded: "What are you talking nonsense? It's an uncle, in the future, you have to call the master a young lady, and call the son a young master, and when you enter the Shen Mansion, you must have rules, and you can't be as light and heavy as before. ”
