Chapter 374: The Eve of the Wedding
Liu's house, the night is already deep, Qingzhi sat quietly by the window of the embroidery building, looking at the stars in the night sky without the slightest sleep, today her eldest brother Liu De mentioned her marriage with Li Zhang, although the other party did not say it explicitly, but Qingzhi can also feel that the family seems to want to ruin the marriage, after all, Li Zhang was suddenly arrested by the Queen Mother, and it is rumored that Li Zhang offended the Queen Mother, not only the official position is not guaranteed, but also the future is ruined.
Qingzhi was naturally very worried about Li Zhang's arrest, but what she didn't expect was that her family would fall into the well at this time, which made her extremely cold, although she had long known that her brother and sister-in-law and others in the family were a little inflammatory, but she didn't expect them to do such a thing.
"I heard that the Queen Mother has allowed others to visit him, if he knows the performance of his brothers and sisters-in-law, he will definitely be very disappointed, right?" At this time, Aoori suddenly opened her mouth and whispered, and when she said this, her eyes were also a little foggy.
Qingzhi still remembers the scene when she first met Li Zhang, when she was still young, but she was taken by her father to the breakfast shop opened by Li Zhang, not only ate a delicious breakfast, but also met Li Zhang, but at that time she did not have a good impression of Li Zhang, mainly because she was very dissatisfied with Liu Mei, and even resisted the marriage arranged for him.
But after Qingori grew up, when she came into contact with Li Zhang, she found many advantages from him, such as erudition, humor, thoughtfulness, etc., especially Li Zhang did not have the arrogance that many men treat women, which was in stark contrast to her brothers, which also made Qingori like Li Zhang more and more, and had already decided that he would not marry.
Everything was fine, but she didn't expect that the two were about to get married, but something happened to Li Zhang's side, Qingori just felt extremely worried about this, and the performance of her family made her even more sad, and even if Li Zhang was released now, she didn't know how to face him?
Thinking of the above, Qingzhi Ruyu's face was also a little gloomy under the light, and then she let out a long sigh, and then stood up and walked to the bedside, but she did not rest, but opened a cabinet at the head of the bed, revealing a set of wedding dresses neatly stacked inside.
Originally, according to the original marriage contract, tomorrow was the day when Qingori and Li Zhang got married, but now Li Zhang is still locked up in Zongzheng Temple, and she can't come out to complete the marriage at all, and her brother and sister-in-law also sent someone to Li's house and agreed to temporarily postpone the marriage, but in private, her brother and sister-in-law already want to regret the marriage.
Looking at her wedding dress in the cabinet, Qingori's face also showed a bit of yearning, and at that moment she reached out and took out the wedding dress from the cabinet, and then spread it on the bed one by one, and the gorgeous phoenix crown was worn on her head.
It is worth mentioning that the bride's wedding dress in the Song Dynasty was not red, but the main body was cyan, mixed with red decoration, but the groom's wedding dress was red, which is also the origin of the term red man and green woman.
The phoenix crown was worn on her head, Qingori also felt that she had really become a bride, she was also a little shy at the moment, but she still turned her head to look in the mirror, this mirror was also a gift from Li Zhang, the glass mirror could clearly reflect her appearance, and when she saw the jade man wearing the phoenix crown in the mirror, Qingzhi's cheeks couldn't help but appear two flushes.
Now that she has put on the phoenix crown, Qingzhi looked at the wedding dress on the bed again, hesitated for a moment and finally picked up the wedding dress, and then changed it one by one, although the wedding dress is very cumbersome to wear, but she is wearing it very seriously, the wedding dress is also called the flower hairpin big sleeve shirt, the skirt and sleeves are particularly wide, and the whole wedding dress is also extremely gorgeous.
Waiting until Aoori finished putting on the wedding dress, and then looked at herself in the mirror again, a happy smile appeared on her face, and then whispered, "If he can see what I look like now, he should like it very much, right?" ”
As soon as the words came out, Qingori herself was too ashamed to look in the mirror again, and her little face also became red because of shyness, and after a while, she still felt that her face was very hot, this feeling was like when she had not had an accident with Li Zhang some time ago, she sometimes dreamed of marrying Li Zhang in her dreams, and every time she woke up, her face was also very soupy, and her heart was beating non-stop.
But soon Qingori sighed faintly, and the whole person returned to reality from fantasy, and then suddenly felt extremely wronged, originally tomorrow was the most important day in her life, and her dream as a girl would also be completed on this day, but now there is nothing, and she may even have to bear the notoriety of ruining her marriage, and hurt Li Zhang because of it.
Thinking of the above, Qingori's tears couldn't help but gush out, but soon she wiped away her tears, she has always been a strong woman, and she also knows that tears don't help solve the problem at all, since her brother and sister-in-law can't rely on it, she can only rely on herself for now.
"But what can I do?" Qingori whispered again at this time, and after speaking, she also stood up and looked at herself in the mirror, under the reflection of the phoenix crown, she also looked more dignified and gorgeous than usual, that is, at this time, Qingori suddenly flashed a very bold idea in her mind, and after hesitating for a moment, she finally gritted her teeth and made up her mind.
At the same time, Li Zhang in Zongzheng Temple did not fall asleep, Zhao Zhen and Lu Wu had both come a few days ago, and he also wanted to inquire about the relationship between Lu Wu and Liu E and his aunt, but Lu Wu was reluctant to say anything anyway, which made him a little disappointed.
However, after Lu Wu's reminder, Li Zhang also remembered his marriage with Qingweaving, counting the days, tomorrow should have been the day when the two of them got married, but now he is under house arrest here, and he doesn't even have freedom, let alone get married.
Thinking of the above, Li Zhang couldn't help but sigh, although the attitude of the Liu family made him a little angry, but his biggest feeling was that he was sorry for Qingzhi, after all, she was the biggest victim of this matter, and with his understanding of Qingweaving, this girl is a soft on the outside and rigid on the inside, if the Liu family dares to force her, maybe she will really do something out of the ordinary?
"Alas, if I can regain my freedom in the future, and Aoori is willing to wait for me, I must compensate her well then!" Li Zhang couldn't help but sigh and whisper at this time, after speaking, he simply stood up with his clothes on, and then pushed open the window to look at the starry sky outside, speaking of which, he hadn't admired the starry sky outside for a long time like now, but I don't know if Qingori has rested now, or can't sleep like himself?
