Chapter 37: The ugly daughter-in-law meets her in-laws
In the room, the maid waited for Chai Lingyu and put up a noble lady's hairstyle.
There are many hairstyles in Datang, and there are different hairstyles at each stage, some girls are girls, some are married after marriage, since Chai Lingyu has been married to Cheng Chubi, from a girl to a real woman, she naturally has to comb the hair of a real woman.
Today is the bride to see her in-laws, she has to dress up beautifully, and the maid waits carefully.
"You thrushes are very good at drawing, come on, come on, I'll help you draw them." Cheng Chubi took the pen from the maid's hand, and then drew it between Chai Lingyu's eyebrows, and several maids saw this situation, and hurriedly walked outside shyly and closed the door gently.
If you want to live as a slave, you must have eyesight, especially in large families, a small mistake may be beaten to death with a stick, so these people are quite smart, the master's family is showing affection, it is best not to watch from the side, so as not to get into trouble.
Although Chai Lingyu is not the kind of person who kills slaves at every turn, every year there are still one or two slaves who are not long-sighted in the Duke Mansion of the Kingdom of China who are beaten to death with a stick, not to mention the Li Erjia.
"It's not called thrush, it's called eyebrow, you ...... What are you describing to me? Looking at the eyebrows in the bronze mirror, Chai Lingyu couldn't help asking.
"Crayon Xiaoxin, no, it's a new eyebrow drawing method, you see, this thick eyebrows and big eyes, how beautiful it is." Cheng Chubi's eyebrow pencil did not put down, and continued to depict, a pair of large and thick crayon small new eyebrows appeared on Chai Lingyu's eyebrows.
"I heard that you would rather become a monk than marry me before, why are you painting my eyebrows now?" Chai Lingyu was a little happy in her heart.
"You'd better not ask." Cheng Chubi sighed and said.
"Why? I want to know! ”
"Are you sure?"
"Yes!"
"You'll regret it." Cheng Chubi sighed and said: "Since God has arranged for you to be a wife, I naturally have to fulfill the responsibility of being a husband, although I don't love you, but the husband and wife are doomed, I can only accept it." If you can't resist, why not enjoy it? Do you say yes? ”
"Do you have someone in your heart? Who is she? Chai Lingyu's brows furrowed slightly.
"She?" A faint smile appeared on Cheng Chubi's face, then he shook his head and didn't speak. It will never be possible with her, if she knew that I married someone else, maybe she would stab me to death with a sword, perhaps, even if she knew, she would just smile faintly.
The two of them went out like the moon by the stars, and then went to the Lu Guogong Mansion, the princess went out, and naturally there was a princess's honor guard, although the Lu Guogong Mansion was only a few hundred meters away from the Xinping Princess Mansion.
The door of Lu Guogong's mansion was open, Lu Guogong Cheng Biting Jin took the family and waited at the door early, and when he saw Cheng Chubi arriving with Chai Lingyu, a large family of people hurriedly stepped forward.
"Meet Her Highness the Princess!" The people led by Lu Guogong said slightly, except for the second sister-in-law Princess Qinghe, all present had to salute, even if Cheng Yanjin was Cheng Chubi's father.
Because the other party is a princess, every word and deed represents the majesty of the royal family, and Cheng Yanjin is just a prince. This is also the reason why Cheng Chubi doesn't like to marry a princess, marry a daughter-in-law and come back, when the father and mother meet, they have to salute her, is this a wife? It's clearly marrying an ancestor.
"Daughter-in-law Li Lingyu has seen grandpa and aunt, eldest brother and sister-in-law, second brother and sister-in-law, and younger brothers and sisters." Chai Lingyu hurriedly returned the salute. She was given the surname Li and named a princess, so she naturally claimed to be Li Lingyu outside.
"Okay, good, what a good girl, no, what a good daughter-in-law, good." Cheng Yanjin laughed: "Enter the house, enter the house!" ”
Seeing that Chai Lingyu didn't have a little princess style, Cheng Biting Jin was really happy in his heart, although he said that this daughter-in-law was a little old, but the old was good, if San Lang didn't have a strong woman to take care of him, he didn't know what would happen in the future, so he was still very satisfied with Chai Lingyu's daughter-in-law.
However, Cheng Cui's was not satisfied, this daughter-in-law is not only old, but also ugly!
"Sister, we will finally be a family in the future." Princess Qinghe Li Dexian hurriedly greeted her, with an extremely happy smile on her face, Princess Qinghe is only fourteen years old now, and it is the time to be innocent.
"Sister, I'll have to change my name to your sister-in-law in the future."
"I'm that old."
“……”
Everyone walked into the Lu Guogong Mansion, and suddenly, Cheng Cui's came to Cheng Chubi's side, grabbed Cheng Chubi's hand, and some tears appeared in his eyes.
"My son, I really wronged you, for the dignity of the royal family, I actually married such an ugly woman, you can rest assured, I will give you a few concubines in a few days for my mother, and keep them all in a few days, and they are not as good as you." Cheng Cuishi said in a low voice.
"Uh." Cheng Chubi was embarrassed, and hurriedly whispered: "Don't worry, mother, I like the princess very much, and she treats me very well." ”
"What a deal! I like it! Too ugly and too old, how can he be worthy of my son in the wind of Yushu! Cheng Cuishi said. I have to say that the aesthetic views of ancient times are still a little different from modern ones, especially the Tang Dynasty.
Datang likes slightly chubby women, Chai Lingyu is tall and big at all, even if Chai Lingyu has the figure and face of a supermodel, it is still quite ugly in the eyes of Tang people. In ancient times, if a man looked like this, he would definitely be able to attract the attention of countless women, but women were ugly and couldn't get married. As for those blonde, blue-eyed, high-fronted, deep-eyed whites, they are called ghosts and Xianbei slaves in this era. Later generations called them ghosts, thinking that they were as ugly as ghosts.
Cheng Chubi really wanted to laugh but couldn't laugh, so he hurriedly said: "Mother, don't worry, the child is still young, and there will naturally be more women in the future, so you don't have to worry." ”
"Does she have a maid to marry?" Cheng Cuishi asked again.
"It doesn't seem to be!"
"This Duke of Qian is also stingy, marrying such an ugly daughter and not knowing how to marry a few beautiful maids, no, no, my son can't bear such grievances!" Cheng Cui's eyes showed a rather dissatisfied look.
Chai Lingyu in front of him seemed to have heard Cheng Cui's words, and his brows couldn't help frowning slightly, but it was not easy to attack. It seems that the relationship between this mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is quite discordant.
"Mother, don't worry about these things, I just got married, and I can't rush many things." Cheng Chubi hurriedly comforted his mother, Cheng Cui's is from the daughter of the Cui family in Qinghe, she has a high vision, and she looks down on the daughter of the military general's family, which is not strange, but the new daughter-in-law has an opinion when she returns to the door for the first time, which makes Chai Lingyu quite helpless.
