Boudoir Chapter 28, Rouge Snow (4)
"I have been married to your father for more than 20 years, and because I didn't give birth in the first few years, he took in concubines again and again. Right now, Gu's slut is pregnant, although it is not yet known that she will have a child or daughter, but her mother can no longer sit still, she really has to wait for her to give birth to a son, when the time comes, your father will hold her in the palm of his hand, she is not a thousand-year-old daughter-in-law to become a mother-in-law, in this family, can there still be a mother who speaks and is in charge? ”
"Aunt Gu is pretentious, repeatedly working against her mother, challenging the authority of the main mother, and her mother has endured it again and again, so that she is now safe. She's smug right now, so why do you want to be like her? Shen Xueqing broke free of Mrs. Zhou's embrace slightly, and persuaded bitterly: "Aunt Gu is not more cowardly and deceitful than Aunt Lin, she is a master who will repay her, so it's better to provoke her less if her mother is fine!" ”
"If people don't offend me, I won't offend anyone! If the slut of the Gu family is willing to keep to herself and has no thoughts about it, why should I bother to target her? Mrs. Zhou let out a long breath, "When you marry into the Zhu Mansion, just feel at ease and considerate of your husband, serve your in-laws, and be in harmony with your concubine, as for our house, you don't have to worry about everything, and your mother alone is enough to settle it!" ”
Shen Xueqing burst into tears and was so moved that she couldn't speak.
When Mrs. Zhou saw her like this, she couldn't bear it, so she stopped talking to her about the bad things at home, deliberately diverted the topic, and talked about some happy things to comfort her.
At this time, the maid Hibiscus rushed into the Wutong Courtyard. Shen Xueru saw that she looked panicked, and quickly walked up and asked carefully, because she heard that the groom official was coming to pick up the bride, Shen Xueru was full of joy, and probed her brain to look at the moon gate.
Shen Xueyuan was the closest, and when she saw her head, she was very impatient, so she hurriedly grabbed her arm and said, "Look at you monkey anxious, I don't know, I thought you were a bride, the emperor is not in a hurry, the eunuch is in a hurry!" ”
Shen Xueru smiled: "I have always heard that this groom is suave and dashing, it is better to see it than to hear it, today, I want to take a look, is this rumor true or false?" ”
"Really, how? False, so what? Miss Tao saw that Shen Xueru was so cute, and couldn't help but tease her with a saying from her hometown, "Third Miss, you are really salty and don't worry about eating radishes!" ”
Shen Xueru and Miss Tao only had a one-sided relationship, and it didn't matter whether they hurt their feelings or not, so they smiled contemptuously, turned their heads and continued to stare at when the groom's official would enter.
After a while, there was a bustle outside the courtyard.
After the hustle and bustle, I saw a group of young men all kinds of romance, and the stars surrounded Zhu Tingyu, the third son of the Zhu family, like the moon.
Shen Xueru waited for a long time, and saw the real person at this moment, so she hurriedly stepped forward and opened her eyes to see her demeanor, but she saw it:
Forehead greasy white fat, skin bullying Ruixue; The jaw is angular, and the hair is smooth and clean; String moon eyebrows, elegant and natural; Sleeping phoenix eyes, luxurious and exposed; Hanging gallbladder nose, mountain root end show; Bend the bow, attract wealth and enter the treasure; Moderately in shape and tall in stature; Wearing a red Suzhou embroidered crown dress, surrounded by a blue and purple jade belt; Looking at it from afar, it is like a Zhilan jade tree, and a close look at Song Yu Pan'an, it is really handsome and graceful, and it is impossible to say that it is rich and noble.
With all eyes in front of him, Zhu Tingyu looked ahead, with a smile on his face, leading a group of anointed children dressed in brocade, and walked towards the boudoir calmly.
Shen Xueyuan didn't pay much attention to male color, just glanced at it in a hurry, and turned his head calmly. Seeing that Shen Xueru was still obsessed, she secretly laughed a few times, and then poked her cousin's squeaky nest with her index finger, and laughed: "Don't look at it, if you look at it again, your saliva will be flowing all over the ground!" ”
Shen Xueru shook her senses, and saw that several noble girls next to her were also making fun of herself, and she was immediately embarrassed, so she frowned and glared at Shen Xueyuan, and then hurriedly broke away from the crowd and ran towards the house.
Under the porch, the two girls of Furong and Fuhe raised the curtain, and the brides sang greetings to show their faces, and then several elderly mothers went out with the bride in their arms.
Zhu Tingyu saw that the bride had appeared, and her heart blossomed early, but because of the large number of people around, she didn't dare to pick up the bride.
The male bridesmaids who followed behind him were already sweating, and seeing that Zhu Tingyu couldn't wipe his face, he simply pushed it from behind.
Zhu Tingyu staggered forward and swooped forward, and before he could stand firm on the soles of his feet, he heard a burst of laughter around him, and couldn't help blushing.
Here, Chen Yun watched from a distance, and saw Shen Xueru following behind the male bridesmaid, squeezing for a long time and not squeezing into the crowd, she couldn't help laughing: "I'm so anxious, I'm afraid I fell in love with my cousin-in-law!" ”
"Say no more!" Shen Xueyuan waved her hand and said with a smile: "Don't look at her usual smugness, but she is small-minded, let's tease her once, she may not be angry, but if it follows one after another, then the two of us are not sensible!" ”
Chen Yun nodded yes, and immediately saw a group of people following the bride and groom to the courtyard, so she grabbed Shen Xueyuan's sleeve and said, "Sister, let's go in and have a good time!" ”
Shen Xueyuan took a look, and saw that the mess in front of him was full of people, and couldn't help laughing: "It's only a blink of an eye, the bride is surrounded by water, let's just squeeze in, what can we see?" It's better to stand here with peace of mind! ”
Chen Yun nodded.
At this time, the male bridesmaids and the female bridesmaids had already exchanged opinions, and still led the way by Mother He, Mother Lu, Mother Shi, and Mother Zhang, several female bridesmaids surrounded the bride, and the groom official followed behind the bride's buttocks with a group of male bridesmaids, followed by a few maids holding makeup boxes.
Before they walked out of the courtyard in a proper manner, the male bridesmaids were a little breathless, and saw that although the bridesmaids who sent off their relatives were not beautiful and national, they were also middle-class, so they couldn't help but be happy in their hearts, and joked with them with some market gossip.
Seeing a few male bridesmaids behaving frivolously, trying to use words to belittle themselves, I couldn't help but sneer: "You are also the sons and daughters of serious people, why do you learn from those green-skinned hooligans who love to say some nonsense that is not in the stream?" ”
The male bridesmaids had long been unaccustomed to her cold attitude, and now they heard her sarcasm, and everyone was resentful and angry, but they had read a lot of scriptures, and in the end they also had some literacy, and they knew that good men did not fight with women, so they quickly died down and extinguished their anger.
Shen Xueru watched her cousin Tingting leave her sight, couldn't help but sigh a few times, and then walked out slowly. When he returned to the courtyard, he saw Chen Yun and Shen Xueqing whispering, so he leaned up and said, "Sister Yun, do we want to send Sister Qing again?" ”
Chen Yun glanced at her and said, "I know that you are reluctant, but you can send it again, where can you send it?" Zuo but sent to the front of the house, no matter how far away, you and I can't go! ”
Shen Xueru sighed abruptly, looked up again, and caught a glimpse of Shen Fu striding from the front of the courtyard gate, so she pulled Chen Yun's cuffs and said enviously: "Brother, it's fine, you don't have to worry about those etiquette, you can send Sister Qing to Zhu's Mansion with your eldest uncle!" ”
Chen Yun listened, turned her head and smiled at Shen Xueyuan.
Outside the Qiwu Courtyard, Shen Fu saw a group of people surrounding the bride and groom, so he strode up to catch up with the family sending procession, trying to get out of the house inside.
When I arrived outside the house, it was still noisy and lively.
Shen Jiajun had just arranged a team to send off his relatives, and when he saw his uncle stepping through the door of the mansion, the frail and sick old man suddenly had mixed feelings in his heart.
Although Zhu Tingyu is young, he knows how to be sophisticated, and when he saw Taishan Taishui looking at him, he hurriedly went up and bowed.
Shen Jiajun and Mrs. Zhou originally loved their uncle very much, but after a few brief words, they sent Steward Liu to arrange for the musicians to play the sheng and beat the gongs and drums.
The music played, and the Liu family personally helped Shen Xueqing to sit in the wedding car, and then put down the curtain and silently retreated to the sedan chair.
Chen's eyes were sharp, and he recognized Shen Fu in the family sending team at a glance, so he walked up with a brisk pace, dragged his son to the side of the team, and reprimanded: "You kid, you don't know anything, what are you doing in the family sending team?" ”
Shen Fu blushed and couldn't say anything.
When Mrs. Zhou heard the movement, she stepped forward in a few steps, and said, "Don't always reprimand Fu'er, he is also kind and wants to send a sunny girl!" Anyway, Heng'er and Yi'er also went with the master, the second brother, and the third brother, and Fu'er wanted to be happy with the past, so there was nothing wrong with it! ”
"I know his thoughts, but I ......," Chen sighed, "It's just that this kid is very shallow in drinking, and he can't drink at the wedding banquet, so if he gets drunk and unconscious, isn't it a joke?" ”
"Hey, who is as energetic as the river and the sea, and a thousand cups can't be poured?" Mrs. Zhou said with a pleasant face, "Aren't they all forced to pour down with their eyes closed?" ”
Hearing this, Chen Shi silently turned his head and glanced at Shen Fu, and said: "Since your eldest aunt has opened her mouth to speak for you, I can't stop you, but I just advise you before leaving, the master is also over there tonight, if you drink too much, beware of the master's blame!" ”
Shen Fu thought of Lao Tzu's father, who was as strict as the king of Hades, smiled bitterly, and then leaned over and quickly chased after his cousin Yuheng.
When he returned from the wedding, when he was already approaching his son, Shen Fu was coarse and fine, and hurriedly went to Mrs. Zhou to report the situation, and then turned to Qingmei Courtyard to see Chen Yun.
It just so happened that Chen Yun thought that the house was stuffy, so she casually put on a pomegranate red ruyi pattern embroidered gladiolus cloak, and stood in the snow to climb and fold plum blossoms.
Shen Fu came from afar, only to see a pomegranate red shadow mixed in the red plum and white snow, with a unique style, he couldn't help but feel happy in his heart, so he smeared oil under his feet and went up, looked at Chen Yun and asked: "The road is slippery on a snowy day, why did you come out alone?" ”
"The warm pavilion has turned on the earth dragon, the house is really stuffy, I feel chest tightness and shortness of breath, and my heart is very uncomfortable, so I came out alone to breathe, there is no need to alarm a large group of people to follow, right?" Chen Yunyun said lightly, suddenly his eyes flickered twice, and asked, "By the way, you just followed the elders to see off your relatives, why did you delay coming home for so long?" ”
Shen Fu put his crimson cheeks on his face, pinched a branch full of plum blossoms and sent it to his nose, sniffed hard, smelled the fragrance, Fang smiled: "I also said, I should have come back earlier, but those uncles in Zhufu pestered the eldest uncle and the second uncle to drink, and said that if you don't drink, you are not allowed to leave. ”
"My aunt often advises you to take care of your body, but you are too disobedient, knowing that you are easy to drink and get on your face, and the wind blows again on the way back, it should be even more uncomfortable at night!" Chen Yun looked at Shen Fu seriously, and when he caught a glimpse of the red nose on his Yangyue lips that he didn't know if it was blown out by the wind or smoked by wine, a little distress suddenly appeared in his eyes, "It's not early, do you want me to boil you a bowl of sobering soup, send a chill out of your body, and then go back to rest?" ”
Shen Fu smiled, and looked at Chen Yun who was full of concern, "There is no need for sobering soup, I am young and vigorous, and my body and bones are not bad, so that I will not fall down as soon as the wind and snow blow, but today I have been bumpy back and forth, and there is no food in my stomach, at this time, I am a little hungry, if you are not too tired, can you help me prepare some food?" ”
"It's this hour, the fire in the kitchen has been turned off early, I just want to make it for you, and it's difficult for a smart woman to cook without rice!" Chen Yun pretended to be embarrassed, deliberately glanced at Shen Fu, who had an empty stomach, and then pretended to have a flash of inspiration in his mind, and said: "By the way, there is a plate of dried meat at dinner, and everyone doesn't want to eat it, my aunt knows that you like to eat, so she specially ordered Chunzhi to keep it for you!" ”
Shen Fu listened, and his eyes flashed.
Chen Yun smiled like spring: "That plate of dried meat has been warm on the stove, it shouldn't be cold yet, if you are really hungry, I will go and get it for you, how about it?" ”
