Chapter 158: Sending Relatives
In the bronze mirror, a puppet-like woman sat there, letting the Xi Po next to her draw on her face, the thick powder paste on the face, it looked extremely white, and she couldn't see her original face at all, and then the red rouge was added to her face, and the white with red looked even more weird. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Looking at the weird and unfamiliar face in the bronze mirror, Yi Niang suddenly wanted to laugh, but as soon as she twitched the corner of her mouth, she was slapped on the back by Xi Po, and she couldn't laugh anymore because of the pain, but the fan next to her covered her mouth and kept laughing, it is estimated that she also felt that Yi Niang's strange appearance was very funny.
Fan'er and the others were laughing, and most of the others showed a joyful expression, but Yi Niang's heart suddenly swelled up with a sense of sadness, today is a good day for her to get married, but she can't feel half a point of joy anyway, but only feels like a puppet manipulated by others, and the whole marriage seems to have nothing to do with her.
Although her father Pei Ju had said that she and Li Xiu would get married as soon as possible, but for this upcoming wedding, Yi Niang was still a little surprised, she was suddenly told yesterday that she was going to get married today, so as soon as she woke up this morning, she was surrounded by the Xi Po maids who poured into the room, and then everyone circled around her, changed into auspicious wedding clothes for her, and put on this kind of makeup that can't see her true face, making her look more like a doll now.
"Have you changed your clothes?" At this moment, Lao Fu, who had always been bent up, walked in and asked expressionlessly, even on such a festive day, there was no joy on his old face.
"Butler Qiqifu, the clothes have been changed, the makeup has been put on, and you can set off at any time!" Xi Po immediately stepped forward to report, to a certain extent, the fear of Lao Fu of Pei Fu is still above Pei Ju, because Lao Fu is the person who is most directly in charge of their life and death.
"Very good, then get in the car!" Lao Fu nodded indifferently, and then ordered.
"Get in the car?" Yi Niang couldn't help but be stunned when she heard this, because according to the process of the wedding, after she put on makeup and changed into a wedding dress, she had to wait for the person who married her, and then she urged her makeup loudly outside her boudoir, and even recited a makeup poem, but now she let herself get into the car without anything, what is the rule?
Not only did Yi Niang not figure it out, but the other people in the boudoir were also stunned, looking at Lao Fu for some unknown reasons, but at this time Lao Fu was glaring at Lao Fu and said: "What are you still doing in a daze, hurry up and help the bride into the car!" ”
Lao Fu's prestige in the house is very high, hearing him speak again, everyone woke up at the moment, and immediately began to act, several maids also stepped forward to help Yi Niang to walk out, but at this time Yi Niang felt that her mind was blank, she didn't know what situation she was going to face, let alone where her fate was going?
After leaving the boudoir, there was already a colorful carriage waiting outside, and without any resistance, she was stuffed into the car by a group of maids, and then the fans who were used as dowries were also pushed into the car, and then the car came to the front yard, through the car window, Yi Niang saw that a row of carriages had been parked in the front yard, and all the cars were her dowry.
In addition, Yi Niang can also see that the man who is called her father is standing in front of the convoy, chatting with an old man led by her, she seems to know this old man, if she doesn't admit her mistake, the other party should be Pei Ju's younger brother Pei Zhi, but he is not too sure, after all, she used to rarely even see her father Pei Ju, let alone Pei Zhi.
According to the etiquette when getting married, Yi Niang does need an elder to send her relatives when she gets married, this person is best her uncle, and although this Pei Zhi has no talent, he is the younger brother of Pei Ju's mother, and generally only when his daughter is married, he will send her relatives, it seems that Pei Ju really gave Li Xiu face, and actually married Yi Niang as a concubine.
I saw Pei Ju and Pei Zhi chatting for a while, and when they saw Yi Niang's carriage coming, they immediately ordered the convoy to set off, Pei Zhi rode a horse and followed Yi Niang's carriage, which is also the etiquette when sending relatives, and generally the person who sends relatives will not exceed the bride's carriage.
Yi Niang sat in the carriage and looked around for a while, and finally couldn't help showing a desperate look in her eyes, because she didn't find the person who greeted her at all, let alone Li Xiu, who was the groom, didn't even appear when she got married, what kind of marriage is this?
Just when Yi Niang was desperate and helpless, I saw Xi Niang also got into the carriage, just now Yi Niang saw her and Lao Fu chatting for a while, it is estimated that she should know the inside story, so Yi Niang forced her spirit and asked: "Xi Niang, why don't you see the person who greets you and send your relatives, what kind of rule is this?" ”
"Hehe, Pei Niangzi doesn't know, just now Mr. Fu has told me, he said that the Li family is not in Chang'an, and he is worried that he will not be able to catch up with the auspicious time, so he will marry according to the custom of sending the lady to the door from afar!" Xi Niang explained with a smile.
The so-called distant place to send the lady to the door to marry, mainly refers to the two sides of the marriage are far apart, in this case can definitely not be married according to common sense, so the woman can only send someone to send the bride to the city where the man is located, and then choose a day to marry, such as when Princess Pingyang married Chai Shao, she was sent to Chang'an first and then chose a day to marry.
"This ...... This ......" Yi Niang couldn't help but gasp when she heard this, she knew the above customs, but although Li Xiu's family was not in Chang'an, it was on the edge of Chang'an, and there was no need for this custom of sending the bride to the door, but now her father chose this custom, I am afraid it also has ulterior motives.
Although Yi Niang thought of this, she was just a little concubine, in the eyes of her father Pei Zhi, I am afraid that she was just a bargaining chip that could be exchanged for benefits, and she was not qualified to express her opinions at all, so she could only be passively at the mercy of others. Thinking of this, Yi Niang's eyes couldn't help but show a more sad expression, I'm afraid this is also her fate to be born as the daughter of the Pei family.
When I saw that there was only the bride's carriage in this team but no groom, and the team also looked like a long way away, which also made many people think that this was a noble little lady who wanted to marry far away, but they didn't expect that the person who was going to marry the other party was on the edge of Chang'an City.
After the team went out of the Chang'an City Gate, they walked to the place where Li Xiu lived, and when they encountered the crowd watching the excitement along the way, there were even some copper coins scattered in the team to send off relatives, which also attracted more people to watch, and even many people followed the team to take advantage of it, and as the team moved forward, the location of Li Xiu's home was getting closer and closer.
