Chapter 261: The Puppet's Wedding
In a blink of an eye, the day of Meng Tianchu and Wen Rou's marriage finally came.
The Meng family's compound really has a happy look, Xia Fengyi, the person who should be invited, has made a wedding post in advance, the lights are everywhere inside and outside the Meng Mansion, the big red mat on the gate is pasted, and the suona and gongs and drums in the courtyard are ready.
Today's Dongchang factory supervisor, the celebrant supervisor is the eunuch who holds the seal, the big red man in front of the emperor Hot Spring Lord Wen marries his niece, who dares not to come to Hangzhou Mansion with a head and a face? Although Meng Tianchu's mansion was already very wide, he still couldn't sit down, just the officials above the seventh grade such as the political envoy of Zhejiang Province, the prefect of Hangzhou, the Tongzhi, and the county, as well as the thousands and hundreds of households of the Jinyi Guard and the Guard, filled the courtyard of the Meng Mansion, and the rest of the officials and guests could only hold a banquet on the street outside the mansion.
In the back garden, Xia Fengyi and Li Linjing took two maids, each of whom held a tray with a phoenix crown and a red hijab in it, all according to the marriage procedure.
Wen Wen heard someone coming up downstairs, so she quickly lay down on the bed and pretended to sleep.
Xia Fengyi walked to the bed, saw that her gentle eyelashes were still fanning, knew that she was pretending, and said, "Miss Wen, the hour is almost up, get up and change your clothes." ”
Gentleness sat up and said, "Put it here, I'll wear it." ”
Xia Fengyi said: "It's better to let the maid serve you, these clothes are a little different from what we usually wear, it is not good to wear them by yourself, and you have to comb your hair, makeup or something." ”
Gently yelled: "You are endless, do you have to be angry with Miss Ben before you are willing to leave!" ”
Xia Fengyi expected her to be like this, but she was not angry. smiled and took a step back: "You know, Gonggong Li has already changed the word, saying that your uncle Lord Wen has authorized my master, if you are married to the land, do not talk about female morality, do not follow women's morals, and even violate the guidelines, our master can take measures against you." He turned his head to look at Li Linjing next to him.
Li Linjing stepped forward expressionlessly: "Miss." The old body serves you in a phoenix crown, right? ”
Gentleness knows that this old woman is powerful. I had to stand up. Reluctantly said: "Wear it, don't you just get married, what's the big deal!" ”
At this moment, the front yard is already full of gongs and drums.
The whole worship of heaven and earth is as gentle as a puppet, silent. After worshipping heaven and earth, when she knelt down to toast Xia Fengyi, although she was honest, she still didn't say a word. When it was Zuo Jiayin and Feiyan's turn to toast her, she also took it and drank it all. Putting the cup back on the tray and still not saying a word.
For Meng Tianchu, getting married three times and being a groom three times are far less hard than this time, the time seems to be very long, and it is easy to wait until all the procedures such as worshipping heaven and earth, toasting and so on are completed, and he is about to die.
I heard only one voice: "The bride and groom enter the cave room." Meng Tianchu brought Gentleness back to the room like a puppet. The maid helped the two of them to the bed and sat down. Said some blessed words. Then he left, the door closed behind him, and he collapsed on the bed.
Gentleness can only be heard with a bang. She was covered with a hijab, so all she could see was a pair of feet on the head of the bed.
The house was quiet, and a group of well-wishing children were hiding outside the door eavesdropping, and when they heard no sound for a long time, they dispersed boredly.
Gentle couldn't help but say, "Meng Tianchu, why don't you lift the hijab for me?" ”
Meng Tianchu was closing his eyes to recuperate, when he suddenly heard a gentle speech, thinking that he had heard it wrong, he opened his eyes and saw that the woman in front of him who was wearing a red dress was still obediently covering her head.
He thought it was funny, so he said, "Lady, can't you wait to have sex with your husband?" ”
Hearing it gently, she ripped off the hijab on her head and threw it on Meng Tianchu's body, stood up, and looked at Meng Tianchu lying there with a smug smile on his face, and actually blushed, after all, it was the first time she was alone with a man when she was so old, and she knew very well that the man in front of her was her husband.
Meng Tianchu saw that Gentle's face was red, and he laughed, Gentle became angry, stepped forward and pointed at Meng Tianchu and said, "Meng Tianchu, what are you laughing at?" ”
Meng Tianchu sat up, untied the red flower on his body, and then loosened the button on his neck, gently thinking that he was going to take off his clothes, he quickly covered his chest with both hands, and said, "Hey! What are you doing? ”
Meng Tianchu grinned, and said with a look of fascination: "You are really strange, what do you say you should do when you enter the cave room?" ”
Wen Wen was frightened, quickly took a few steps back, and said, "Don't come here, I'll call someone if you come over!" ”
"Hahaha!" Meng Tianchu looked up to the sky and laughed a few times, suddenly smiled, glanced at him coldly, and said, "Don't worry, a toad will not have an interest in a wild duck, so even if you strip naked and lie down with your legs apart, I don't bother to take a look!" Put your heart in your stomach and dream of your wild duck! With that, he stood up and was about to go out.
Seeing that he was leaving, Wen Rou put his mind at ease, and when he saw Meng Tianchu walking to the door and suddenly stopped, he was suddenly startled, and his hands nervously grabbed his big red dress.
Meng Tianchu turned his head and glanced at her mockingly, and said, "From today onwards, you will be my Mrs. Meng Tianchudi, Second Lady!" In addition, the other two grandmothers in the family, although they are ranked after you, but in my heart, none of them are more expensive than you, you let me know a little bit, if you are a little bad about them, I will give you a good look! ”
Meng Tianchu paused and said: "You know the three from the four virtues, so, stay with me well, and put away all your so-called young lady's temper for me, otherwise, be careful that I tie you up, and then strip you of the hair of this wild duck!" With that, he slammed the door and left.
Gentleness was like a dream, she was stunned there for a long time, and finally pointed to Meng Tianchu's departed back and cried loudly: "Meng Tianchu, count you ruthless!" ”
Meng Tianchu took this step out of the gentle door, and did not go back all night, but slept in Zuo Jiayin's room.
Early the next morning, Zuo Jiayin waited for Meng Tianchu to get dressed, and the maid shouted softly outside: "Young master, grandma." It's time to eat! ”
Zuo Jiayin said: "Okay, go and call the new lady too." ”
The maid answered yes outside and walked away.
Meng Tianchu said: "What do you want her to do?" I can't eat well when I call her. ”
"Xianggong, don't be like this, no matter what you say, it's already you
You can't keep it stiff. ”
Meng Tianchu sighed, and then led Zuo Jiayin out of the door.
Everyone sat down in the dining room. The maid is coming. whispered, "The new grandmother said she wouldn't eat it." ”
Xia Fengyi motioned for the maid to go down. Then he said, "Why don't I go and see?" ”
Meng Tianchu picked up the chopsticks and said, "What does she do?" It's good to starve to death. ”
Zhen Xue whispered: "Master, Zhen Xue also thinks that since she has been married, is this for her..."
When Meng Tianchu saw Yu Xue's haggard appearance, he became even more angry in his heart, and said, "Don't go to any of you." No one should say anything good for her, as soon as you accommodate, she will be even more amazing, eat! ”
When everyone looked at Meng Tianchu's appearance, they didn't dare to speak.
After eating, Meng Tianchu took Zhu Hao and Murong Yuxue to the yamen, where Wang Yi was already waiting.
Meng Tianchu said: "Is there anything new?" ”
Wang Yi said: "I went to Qinglou again, and the old bustard said that it was because Shui Muyan was ransomed from Hangzhou at a sky-high price. There is no one who does their part that they don't know. Later, on one occasion, a guest went to her to drink flower wine and told her. Said that Shui Muyan came to Renhe, she still didn't believe it, the guest said that he had seen Shui Muyan when he was in Hangzhou, so he recognized, it just so happened that the old bustard had also seen Shui Muyan in Hangzhou before, and when he heard the guest, he paid attention, saying that it was not long after, and he really saw Shui Muyan in a store selling rouge in the county. ”
"So coincidentally?"
Wang Yi said: "That old bustard said so. ”
"What else did she say?"
Wang Yi said: "There is nothing else, the old bustard also thinks it is strange, saying that it is a pity to spend 10,000 taels of silver to put this girl in such a place." ”
Meng Tianchu said in surprise: "Ten thousand taels!" ”
"Yes, that's what the bustard said, that person is really generous."
"Was she alone when Shui Muyan bought rouge?"
Wang Yi said: "I asked, and she said that there seems to be another woman, I think it may be Shui Muyan's maid." ”
Meng Tianchu said: "Yes, a young lady naturally needs someone to take care of her, besides, such a big house, it's scary to live alone." So, after this Shui Muyan died, where did her maid go? ”
Wang Yi shook his head: "I don't know." There is only one house left, and the building is empty, and this case is really not easy to handle,"
Meng Tianchu thought for a while and said, "Didn't Liu Hong say last time that he saw the portrait of Shui Muyan in that mansion?" Why haven't I seen it, was it taken by someone? ”
"Not necessarily, everyone knows that there have been dead people in that house, and they are all unlucky, who will take the dead people's things?"
"That's right," Meng Tianchu pondered for a moment and said, "Let's go back and have a look." ”
Meng Tianchu took Zhu Hao, Wang Yi and Murong Zhenxue, and the four of them came to Sunset Village again.
The door of the house has been replaced with a new lock by Zhuge Xin, and the pavement at the door has been smoothed, so I think it is really going to be sold.
Zhu Hao said: "I'll go first and take a look, without the key, Miss Murong can't get in." ”
Murong Xue said: "It's okay, you go in, I'll wait for you at the door." ”
Meng Tianchu said: "Wang Yi, you are also waiting outside with Zhenxue, Zhu Hao and I will go in and have a look." ”
"Wait." Murong Zhenxue stopped Meng Tianchu, took out a silk scarf from his arms and handed it to him, "Master Meng, this mansion has not been inhabited for a long time, you must be very dusty when you are looking for things, it will be better to cover your mouth with this." ”
Meng Tianchu took it and smiled, put the silk scarf in his arms, and climbed over the wall into the courtyard with Zhu Hao.
Meng Tianchu walked to the door of the room downstairs, looked inside, and said: "We have seen the upstairs and kitchen of this house, only the two houses downstairs we have never been to, I looked outside the door before, and found that it was full of dust and cobwebs, and there was nothing in it, it seemed to be a pile of some sundries, if we could find something in this." ”
Zhu Hao opened the door, and a lot of dust suddenly came out of the room, Meng Tianchu took out the silk scarf and looked at it, but he was still reluctant to use it, put it back in his arms, covered his mouth with his hand, and walked straight in, Zhu Hao didn't know where to find a feather duster, swept the cobwebs, and the house looked much better.
In addition to a long table, there are several chairs, and a bamboo bookshelf is placed next to the wall. When he walked to the bookshelf, he found that there was also a lute, which was already covered with dust, and he picked it up, gently brushed it off with a feather duster, looked at it carefully, and put it back.
It should be this master's study, judging from the books on the shelves, Shui Muyan should be a very talented woman.
Suddenly, he found several scrolls in a large porcelain vase in the corner of the wall. He picked them all up, placed them on the table, and dusted them off. When he opened one of them, it was more than two meters long and more than one meter wide when fully unfolded, and he hung the painting on the wall with a stalk that supported the painting, and a beautiful woman jumped vividly on the drawing paper.
Meng Tianchu looked at the painting, it seems that the person who painted this painting, in addition to the excellent work of painting, should still be a person who knows the woman in the painting better, because he can actually depict the woman's resentful eyes vividly under the brush.
Look at the woman in the painting again, behind her are several blooming peonies, the woman is wearing a big red silk skirt, the neckline is open very low, revealing a plump chest, the face is like a hibiscus, the eyebrows are like willows, the eyes are more charming than the peach blossoms, the skin is like snow, the black hair is pulled into a high beauty bun, the pearls on the head shine dazzlingly in the sun, and the bright red lips are slightly raised, she is indeed a stunning beauty.
There is a poem in the upper left corner of the painting: "The swing people scatter the small courtyard and the empty courtyard, and the musk cold lamp is dim and kills the nong." Unique two-sleeved wind of empty steps. The moon is hazy, and a pear blossom is drizzling. ”
Look at the small print below: "Lou Yue Jushi gives a dream person." ”
