Chapter 13: Red Hijab
(Thank you for the reward of the hero, thank you!) Ask for a referral ticket! )
It's not that Li Xiao doesn't like Wanniang, although Wanniang is a little thin, but it's not ugly. And it is said that marrying a wife and marrying a virtuous woman, the most important thing about marrying a daughter-in-law is not good-looking, as long as the general life is good, the key is the character and background, etc., only if you take a concubine, you will value beauty, and say that a concubine is beautiful, also known as buying sex.
Everyone was still talking about today's cave house, and from time to time someone came to congratulate him.
Li Xiao stood there, keeping a smile on his face, but it was stiff, he knew that it was just a polite smile, but not smiling at this time, he knew that any expression was inappropriate.
He doesn't want that kind of reluctant relationship, in the past, he didn't like others to introduce him to blind dates, he preferred to find the feelings he met.
Someone who didn't even want to go on a blind date was now put on the fire, and he had to have a room tonight with a girl he had only known for less than a day.
But he couldn't refuse, because the girl had been married to him for three years, and he was only in the cave tonight, not married, because the wedding had been held three years ago.
It was really an awkward situation, and he even wished that there would be a crack in the ground at this time that he could get into, so that he could avoid this incomparable embarrassment for the time being.
In fact, it's not impossible to escape, he can escape into the space, and no one can find him, but this is not a way.
Smile.
Hehe.
The muscles on his face were stiff, but he had to keep smiling, and he couldn't tell his reluctance.
Li Zhen brought a set of clothes, opened the wrapper, and it was a set of bright red robes, the clothes of the groom's officials.
Red men and green women, the newcomers of the Tang Dynasty get married, the men wear red, and the women wear green.
The groom's gown consisted of a black hat, a bright red robe with a round neck, a white midcoat, and a pair of black boots.
The Tang Dynasty has strict levels of clothing, and it is strictly forbidden for all classes to dress indiscriminately, especially in terms of color.
For example, bright yellow is for royalty. And purple and scarlet, that is the color of high-ranking officials' clothes, even green and blue are the colors of middle- and lower-level officials, and small officials and officials are wearing soapy clothes.
As for the common people, they are generally white, gray, brown, etc.
Flat-headed people like Li Xiao are not qualified to wear red in normal times, but when they get married, they can wear red robes exceptionally.
"Brother, this groom's dress was sewn for you by Sister Wanniang herself three years ago, if you try it, it will definitely fit very well."
couldn't refuse, Li Zhen directly shook off her clothes, put them on Li Xiao, and asked him to try them on the spot.
Several women put on his sleeves and tied leather belts for him.
"Wow, it really fits, it's just right, Sister Wan's female red skills are really good."
The women praised Wan Niang's good needlework skills, but Li Xiao felt that her body was getting stiffer and stiffer.
This is to catch ducks on the shelves.
But he can't refuse yet, and there is no reason to refuse, what reason does he have to refuse, if he says it, it is estimated that he will be beaten to death directly by Old Man Zhao with a cane, and even his sister Li Zhen will help beat him together.
Looking at Yang Dayan and Guo Biaozi's joy, they will definitely not be on his side.
Kidnapping!
Although he does like Wan Niang, this kind of liking is not that kind of like, this is just appreciation, admiration, not love.
But he had no reason to refuse!
can only be said and pushed by them.
I took my clothes and went to the other room to take a shower.
The door was closed, and a brazier was placed in the room, and a few firewood was burned to serve as lighting. This family is so poor that they can't afford to light candles when it's dark, which is only used by rich families, and they can't afford to light oil lamps, and lamp oil is also very expensive these days.
The light is dim.
There was a wooden barrel in the middle of the room, which was quite large, and it didn't look like a special bathtub.
The basin was already filled with water, and the heat was rising.
In winter, it is not a simple matter to boil so much hot water. Because the water is difficult to boil, the people rarely take a bath at this time in winter.
To take a bath, you have to carry water and burn a fire, which costs both water and firewood. Usually everyone can't eat enough, how can they pay so much attention, even when the weather is so cold, there is a little dirt on the body, and it can also keep warm from the cold. If you are not careful, take a shower and freeze, a cold is a trivial matter, and if you don't get it right, you may get pneumonia, which will be life-threatening.
In some places, many people actually don't take a bath in winter, and they are particular about it, and they may take a bath during the New Year, and if they don't pay attention to it, they will wash it after the hot weather next year.
Today is the day of Li Xiaodong's house, so no matter how simple the conditions are, everyone still helps to boil water.
On the night of the cave room, the bride and groom must be washed cleanly and dressed beautifully.
Sitting in a wooden barrel and taking a bath is actually quite unhygienic, although it is quite popular in later generations to take a barrel bath, but people also have another shower, and the barrel bath is actually just a bath.
The water is quite hot, there is only a loofah sac next to it, and there are no toiletries.
In these days, the poor could not afford to use lighting candles and lamp oil at home, and there was no toothpaste, soap, shower gel, shampoo in terms of cleanliness and hygiene.
Wealthy families are better, but it is said that bathing is only bath beans, a very simple cleaning item, which is sold in major pharmacies, but it is by no means cheap.
Holding the loofah sac and rubbing it hard, it also rubbed off a lot of old mud and dead skin, and the skin was red.
Wipe the water clean, change into a red robe, put on black leather boots, put on a black hat, and tie a leather belt.
Outside, Guo Dabiao and others were already impatiently knocking on the door.
"The groom, it's not too early, the Spring Festival is worth a thousand gold, what are you still rubbing, and the sky will be bright if you rub it again!"
The door opened, and Da Biao, who had been waiting for a long time, directly grabbed it with a big hand, and Zhang Cong, Liu Garlic, Ergou Tiezhu and several other people hugged him up and lifted him up directly.
It's really that the emperor is not in a hurry and the eunuchs are in a hurry, this group of people is even more anxious than him, the groom official, it seems that they can enter the cave room tonight.
The group shouted with a smile, and carried Li Xiao directly into the cave room.
In fact, it is the very simple house opposite, which used to be the bedroom of Zhao Wan and Li Zhen, but tonight it was simply cleaned up and arranged, and it became a couple of newcomers' cave room.
I don't know where I turned out a piece of red cloth, hung on the door, and folded two cypress branches, red, green and green are very beautiful.
The door slammed behind him, shutting out the laughter of the crowd.
The room fell silent for a moment.
There were two braziers in the house, and the flames swayed and jumped, illuminating the room faintly.
On the bed, Zhao Wan had already changed into a green wedding dress, which was purchased a few years ago, and the Li family had not collapsed at that time, the clothes were very good and the colors were very bright.
With a red hijab on her head, Zhao Wan sat there quietly, quietly waiting for her husband to come up.
