The Boudoir Chapter 38, The Night of the Cave Room (2)
After lunch, Shen Fu heard that Deng Shanbao had gone to Chen's house to be hired, and he was so happy that he hurriedly changed his regular clothes and went to Chen's courtyard to ask for peace.
When I entered the courtyard, I saw the pine fences intertwined with green, the peach and plum contending for beauty, the clusters of flowers, and the clusters of orchids. Shen Fu's heart was happy, and while walking slowly along the verandah, he played with the dark green embroidered eyes in the bamboo gourd rattan cage, and casually hummed a Suzhou tune.
Catch it up. Chunyan came out of the east wing, walked to the eaves of the hall, and saw that Shen Fu was teasing the birds in the verandah, so she silently approached him through the cuckoo bush, and asked, "Since the third master is here, why don't you go in and ask your wife for peace?" β
Shen Fu was startled and turned around suddenly. Seeing that it was Chunyan, Shen Fu coughed, deliberately straightened his chest and back, and reproached: "Why are you walking silently?" Almost scared the hell out of me! β
Chunyan saw the blame and said aggrievedly: "It's obvious that the third master is teasing the bird, and he didn't pay attention to the movements around him, how can he blame me?" β
Shen Fu tugged at the corners of his mouth and asked, "Can my mother get up from a nap?" β
Chunyan said lightly: "I don't know very well, but I just saw Sister Chunzhi calling someone in, and my wife should be up!" β
Shen Fu nodded, turned around and walked towards the hall, Chunyan then raised her head, looked at the back of her son-in-law and sighed.
In the room, Chen stood in front of the sitting floor trimmed dressing mirror, looking up and down at the white background willow yellow embroidered pear blossom trimmed folded branch flower placket that had just been changed to his body. Seeing that the maid took the face wash, Chen opened the cuffs with his hand, and at this time, he suddenly saw his son's blood boiling in, and couldn't help laughing: "What is worthy of your being so happy, you almost want to jump on the beam!" β
"The child heard that Steward Deng went to be hired!" Shen Fu walked inside, seeking truth at the same time, "I just don't know if this news is true or false?" β
Chen wiped his face with a square towel, waved his hand to signal Chunzhi to go out, and then slowly walked to the table of the Eight Immortals with Butterfly Pattern of Mahogany Inlaid Luodian Melon and sat down, while opening the fat powder box, smearing it evenly on his hands, and said with a smile: "Look at you, this daughter-in-law hasn't married the door yet!" β
Shen Fu calmly sat aside, "The dowry has been given, the wedding date has been set, and it is not a matter of morning or evening to welcome Sister Yun into the door!" β
"You, even if it's a big thing, as long as it gets into your mouth, it can become extraordinarily simple!" Chen's face straightened, "At present, the old man is not at home, and there are many things at the wedding, I am a woman's family, and it is not suitable to show my head!" β
Shen Fu listened, and immediately came to his mother's side, and said with a smile: "The child is now older, and many things can already be taken care of independently, mother, don't underestimate me, no matter how bad it is, many things at the wedding are conventional, and the child just needs to do the same!" β
"Come on, I conceived and gave birth to you in October, how capable you are, I still don't know in my heart?" Chen shook his head slightly and sighed, "You are not deeply involved in the world, and all aspects of marriage are not something that you can solve in a few words!" β
"It's like drafting a list, ordering dishes, selecting wine, delivering invitations, inviting a troupe, hiring a coachman, opening an ancestral hall, and feasting relatives...... Think about it yourself, you are a hairy boy who has not dried up, do you have the ability to handle this pile and piece by piece? β
When Shen Fu heard that he was going to feast on his relatives, he immediately let out a breath of anger, not to mention that the second uncle and ancestor who ate relatives and wealth were annoying, even the third uncle and ancestor of the old eight ban'er were not easy to get along with, plus the seven aunts and eight aunts, it was simply driving people crazy in minutes.
Seeing that his son was stunned, Chen sighed a few times, and then admonished: "This daughter-in-law is asked by yourself, and after you get married in the future, you husband and wife will work together, not only to try to live a good life, but also to learn and improve, so as not to worry about your father and me!" β
"Mother rest assured, Sister Yun usually likes to urge me to be motivated, and Ming'er became a parent, and she doesn't chant me like chanting scriptures?" Shen Fu smiled.
"Yun'er is talking about you, it's also for your good, you can't get bored in the future!" Chen persuaded bitterly, "Although our family is not a scholarly family, your father hopes that his son will become a dragon, and he hopes that you can get ahead, and you have to fight for it!" β
"Mother peace of mind, you have worked hard to raise the child, and you have worked hard for the child, how can the child not know?" Shen Fu said seriously, "When the child becomes a parent, he immediately relaxes his heart to study the scriptures, and strives to be unveiled in the autumn of the next year, not only the son raises his eyebrows, but also makes the mother's face bright!" β
When Chen heard this, he was like taking a reassuring pill, and immediately smiled: "As long as you are willing to work hard, my mother is willing to fast for three years and repay the kindness of the gods!" β
Shen Fu frowned: "Mother always likes to count on the gods and Buddhas when she has nothing to do, according to the child's view, this gods and Buddhas are not of much use, think about it, if the gods and Buddhas have spirits, and all mortals ask for something, then how can there be so many joys and sorrows in this world, birth, old age, sickness and death?" β
"Don't talk nonsense, beware of the gods and Buddhas who hear it!" Chen blocked Shen Fu's nonsense, and read the scriptures a few times in a hurry, before he opened his eyes, stared at his son with a red face, and said, "You, never let your mother worry!" β
The corners of Shen Fu's mouth rose, pulling out a crescent-like arc, and then took the opportunity to stagger his eyes and look at the evergreen yew and cinnamon outside the window.
On March 22, the weather is clear and the wind is smooth, and it is advisable to marry, match, consecrate, pray for blessings, ask for heirs, travel, lift, log, build houses, build foundations, build, set up horses, build doors, migrate, enter houses, build temples, remove clothes, tailor, meridians, dismantle, break ground, upper beams, close spine, enter the burial, complete clothes, move the coffin, break the ground...... All in all, the auspicious day of the month and everything goes well.
At dawn that day, Chen Yun changed into a bright red wedding dress early, and then dressed up while chatting with her best friends Xia Yingniang and Xue Baozhu.
"My sister is also bitter, although the Shen Mansion is far away from us, and it is inconvenient for my sister to visit the family often, but the Shen Mansion is a wealthy family, but it is famous far and wide!" Xue Baozhu said enviously, "Shen Sanye and his sister are childhood sweethearts, and Mrs. Shen is my sister's aunt, so close to each other, my sister is really a good blessing from her previous life." When my sister enters the house in the future and becomes the housekeeper of the Shen Mansion, you must take care of the friendship of our sisters! β
Xia Yingniang couldn't get used to Xue Baozhu being poor and loving rich, and when she heard her say such a call at this moment, she immediately smiled and said, "Forgive me for not taking the liberty of asking my sister, what does it mean to be willing to suffer?" Are you saying that Sister Yun used to live a miserable life? As she was speaking, Xia Yingniang glanced at Xue Baozhu, "On the day of the big day, chew the root of your tongue, if you are fine, it is good to sit idle!" β
Xue Baozhu heard her speak unpleasantly, and suddenly became unhappy, gritted her teeth, lied that she had abdominal pain and wanted to go to the toilet, and hurriedly packed her dress and walked out.
"You, you, let me say what is good about you, Baozhu is used to being straightforward, and he doesn't have any bad intentions, what do you have to do with her?" Chen Yun said as she looked at Ying Niang.
Xia Yingniang took the eyebrow pencil, carefully traced Chen Yun's eyebrows, and said, "She, she has as much rap as her mother, I can't see such a person!" β
"The three of us have been getting better for so many years, and seeing that each of us is going to get married, there is no need to break up unhappily for the sake of sesame trivial matters!" Chen Yun flushed her cheeks casually and said with a smile: "By the way, my mother told me yesterday that Xia Bo has already promised you a family affair?" β
Xia Yingniang nodded: "Marry early, enjoy happiness early, anyway, I'm at home, I can't stay for a day!" As he spoke, he began to show sadness, "My sister also knows the situation of my family, my father is a drunkard and scoundrel, usually only eats and gambles, in the past few years, he owes a lot of debts to the king of Hades, not only scattered the family property, but also gambled out my mother's dowry." My stepmother is a vicious person, she only knows how to abuse me every day, and she hates to treat me as a cow and a horse, I am at home, and I am not as good as a pig and a dog, in fact, I would have wanted to die head-on, if it weren't for Dong'er being young, I would ......"
Chen Yun was sad when she heard this, and without thinking, she held Xia Yingniang's little hand and comforted: "Don't you dare to have such a heart, it is easy to die, the white knife goes in and the red knife comes out, but what should you do in Xia Dong?" He's so young, he can't be left unattended! β
"I know, that's why I've been holding back!" Xia Yingniang covered her nose and smiled bitterly, quite a spirit of joy in suffering, "Sister, don't look at my black-hearted father for being unreliable, this time he asked someone to kiss me, but he did a beautiful thing!" My sister doesn't know yet, she has 100 acres of fertile land, but she is a veritable landlord! β
"It's just that she doesn't look like she's getting older, and she's older than me, but it's ......" Xia Yingniang was depressed in her heart, and she spoke half-swallowing and half-spitting, not as fast as in the past, "It's not much older, it's only seven or eight years older than me!" β
Chen Yun knew that every girl had a wishful husband living in her heart, and she had heard Xia Yingniang imagine it before, saying that she would find a personable little Langjun in the future, but now hearing her talk about her fiancΓ©'s information, Chen Yun felt inexplicably distressed.
"Oops, my sister made my sister sad!" Xia Yingniang wiped her tears, and sat next to Chen Yun with a restrained expression, "On the day of my sister's wedding, you must not be sad, it was my sister's fault just now, what do you do?" β
Chen Yun was saddened by Xia Yingniang's tragic experience, and couldn't help but have slightly red circles in her eyes. Xia Yingniang saw that she was sad, and repeatedly told jokes to divert the topic.
In the blink of an eye, the sun is dazzling. The villagers came to the banquet one after another, and for a while they were crowded and noisy.
About half a moment later, there was a sudden noise of gongs and drums outside, and the sound shook the house, and the guests suddenly fell silent.
Xia Yingniang was curious, walked to the window and looked, and couldn't help laughing: "The welcoming team has arrived at the door, my sister will cover my sister's head!" Xia Yingniang asked, she had quickly approached, picked up the red hijab, raised it and floated it on Chen Yun's green cloud.
In the courtyard, Shen Fu solemnly visited Chen's father and Chen's mother. Chen's father and Chen's mother couldn't help but smile when they saw their grandson's splendid ointment, and asked Shen Fu not to be formal. Shen Fu didn't dare to disobey the rules, and bowed to his mother-in-law, Jin's head.
Jin stared at his son-in-law for a moment, and then explained a few more words before sending Shen Fu into the house to pick up the bride.
As soon as he arrived at the stone steps, he saw that Xue Baozhu led people to block the door, Shen Fu knew that he would not be able to enter without breaking the bank, so he simply sent Ping Shun to search for five taels of silver, and sent it to Xue Baozhu without arrogance or impatience, and let a few girls who had not yet left the pavilion share the profits.
Finally seeing Chen Yun dressed in red, Shen Fu was overjoyed, walked up in three steps and two steps, and called: "Sister Yun!" β
Chen Yun blushed in the hijab and responded shyly.
Xia Yingniang knew that they were consensual and sweet, but for the sake of the happiness of her sisters, she still threatened her: "Third Master Shen, I know that your family is rich, but I have a deep friendship with Sister Yun, if you dare not cherish Sister Yun in the future, I will definitely not spare you!" β
"Don't worry, I have a good relationship with Sister Yun, and I will definitely treat her well in this life!" Shen Fu said affectionately, and suddenly squatted down and held Chen Yun's hand.
Chen Yun sensed his warmth, and just smiled lightly.
The bride and groom walked out of the hall hand in hand, led by the celebrant, and kowtowed to the elders. Chen's father and Chen's mother knew that their granddaughter would not be wronged, so they just laughed vigorously, but the Jin family was full of relatives, thinking that the separation was imminent, and their eyes couldn't stop crying.
