Chapter IX: Serious Doubts
Zheng He walked out of the living room, in fact, his living room is not very far from the west wing, only a few steps away. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
The architecture of this era, in general, is still mainly practical and simple.
What winding paths lead to secluded, sheep intestines nine curves, but also a big garden, lotus pond, and some fish, there are none here.
What is here is just a rectangular building surrounded by a high platform.
The functional distribution of the building from south to north is the door, the school, the front yard, the hall, the back yard, and the back room, and then the left and right sides are the west wing and the east wing.
It can be seen as two courtyard houses together, but the house is slightly different from the courtyard house in that it is built on a rammed earth platform. The high platform is not high, and it is about one meter above the ground.
The reason for this is probably the upward and downward effect.
At this time, the Son of Heaven and the princes all regarded the high platform as beautiful, and the high platform was a symbol of boasting of their power and wealth, so as long as there was a little ability below, they would build a small high platform by themselves.
The Son of Heaven made nine meters, and it is normal for the man below to be divided into one meter.
Zheng He came to his daughter's room, knocked on the door first, and after obtaining her daughter's consent, he walked in.
The parents' orders and the matchmaker's words said so, but Zheng He felt that he still had to talk to his daughter seriously. At least it shows that Qin Xin is not bad, and in addition, don't let Qin Xin fool here, in the future, you will be the one who calls the shots. The reason why Zheng He wants to do this is actually a little uneasy about his daughter's innocence.
……
Look at Qin Xin's side in turn.
Qin Xin came from the steps of the east side door, and naturally came to the east wing.
In ancient times, the left was respected, and the left of men and the right of women were respected.
What's more, what Zheng He arranged for Qin Xin after that was the first room in the East Wing, which shows that his attention to Qin Xin is really not just lip service.
But of course! This is also likely to be because the Zheng family itself has no heirs, so there are no people living in the East Wing here at all.
And it's just right that Qin Xin came, the east wing room, you can live anywhere, and no one cares about you if you live in several rooms alone.
Because of the long-term lack of heirs, the eight rooms in the east wing, before Qin Xin came, were basically either used to put sundries or raise spiders.
"Uncle, your room has arrived, please."
Qin Xin looked at this Zheng Qing and asked, "Are you the Zheng family's head of the family?" ”
Zheng Qing nodded and replied respectfully, "Yes." ”
"I seem to have seen a person who looks like you before, but he looks younger, is that your son?"
Zheng Qing was a little happy and said: "I didn't expect to be recognized by my uncle, it was my son." ”
But then Zheng Qing saw Qin Xin's face as if he was going to fight with him, and he almost grabbed him by the collar and said, "Uncle! Do you know that your son has miserably killed me! Am I wrong for being pretty! Can't your son say that I have thick eyebrows and a nose, a black face and short hair, like a monster? I have to say anything about the eyebrows, wide eyes, and graceful demeanor, alas~"
Zheng Qing was taken aback by Qin Xin, and he didn't know where Qin Xin got such a big anger.
Zheng Qing replied: "But my uncle is personable. ”
"Forget it! It's a foregone conclusion. After Qin Xin complained, he quickly calmed down again, thinking in his heart, "For today's plan, I can only take one step at a time." Check to see if there is a window in the room facing the exterior wall, and if there is, it feels like if you force yourself to slip out, maybe it's okay. "The more Qin Xin thinks about it now, the more he feels wrong, like that Zheng He doesn't look good, and his daughter definitely doesn't look good. Now his mood is the same as buying a lottery ticket, if he draws the first prize, it is a super beauty, if he draws the second prize, he can also have a small jasper, but the problem is, the lottery is too unreliable. "I really don't understand how the ancients who didn't know what the other party looked like before they got married, I really admire their courage."
After Zheng Qing invited Qin Xin to the east wing to settle down, he asked Qin Xin if he had any other needs.
Of course, Qin Xin said that there was no need, and then looked around the inside of the house, and found that there was no window! And at the door...... The four people who escorted Qin Xin along the way, and now there are two left, as if they were instructed by Zheng He, standing at the door, no matter what, they didn't let Qin Xin out, so in the end, they ......
"......" to those two, Qin Xin had nothing to say. Then not long after, Zheng Qing brought a few servants over to assist Qin Xin in bathing, and then fooled around, and gradually, the sun fell.
……
A few hours seem to go by in the blink of an eye.
Originally, Qin Xin thought that he would have at least a chance to escape, but it turned out that those people spent a whole afternoon preparing for his wedding, and they didn't even give him a bite to eat.
Night soon falls and the sky is full of stars.
On a mid-spring night, the night outside is exceptionally clear. It's just that Qin Xin really can't enjoy the beauty of this moment. Because the thought of going to Zongmiao later, I feel like I am buying a lottery ticket, and I feel that I should be disappointed more than expected.
The weddings of this era were not as lively as those of later generations, and they would not say that they would have a big feast and then feast all kinds of relatives and friends.
Wedding, at this time, is also called 'dusk', "the wedding does not need to be happy, and the meaning of yin is also." The wedding is not celebrated, and the order of people is also. And "the house of a married woman will not have fun for three days." ”。 Of course! Although in this era, marriage will not entertain relatives and friends, and will not play music. But generally there are a few tables simply set up in the temple, and only your own family eats together, and there will still be them.
It's a pity that like the Zheng family, there are only a few people, and they are also recruited sons-in-law, so it is better not to put it up, it is not interesting, and it is not interesting to simply carry out the gift of the shadow to the end.
It didn't take long for Qin Xin to go out of the east door, while the woman came out from the west door. Because there was at least a distance of about twenty or thirty meters between the two, Qin Xin couldn't see what the other party looked like at once. can only roughly know that the other party is the same as him, at this time he is wearing a black and red Zhou Dynasty wedding dress, Qin Xin himself has to add a crown, and the other party only needs to wear a bun and does not need to wear any headscarf. Qin Xin looked at it from a distance, although it was only from the side, but after reading it, Qin Xin's heart couldn't help but let out a soft 'huh', and his heartbeat couldn't help beating half a beat faster. Because, there is no bucket waist in the expected, on the contrary, the other party's figure is obviously still very slim. And the point is...... What amazed Qin Xin the most was the overall feeling that the entire side of the other party gave him.
"The black and red dresses are flashy but not glamorous, and against the backdrop of the night, there is a vague feeling of being in the painting. Is it the first prize? No, no! Maybe it's just dazzling. ”
Then, Qin Xin closed his eyes and shook his head. Don't think about it, if it's really so beautiful, it's so difficult to find a son-in-law, there must be a lot of "romantic talents" who are rushing to the door.
As if sensing the change in Qin Xin's expression, Zheng Qing's son, whose name is Zheng Rong, happened to be standing beside Qin Xin at this time, and he immediately said to Qin Xin with some pride, "Uncle! Pretty, right. Does it look like a fairy? ”
“??” Then, Qin Xin frowned and looked at Zheng Rong. Today, this Zheng Rong has a bit of a sense of being his best man. But it's a pity that this best man is obviously a little blind, and he didn't see Qin Xin's frown at all, he continued: "Uncle, you don't know, although the head of the family has always claimed that Meng Zheng is not beautiful, but in fact, everyone in the Zheng family knows that our Meng Zheng is no worse than anyone else, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the first beauty in Cai Country. ”
Qin Xin looked at this Zheng Rong like that, Zheng Rong, this person, the bad thing is that he can't stop it. But I don't know why, at this time, he is a little disgusted with this Zheng Rong.
"Go on." Qin Xin listened to Zheng Rong continue with some anticipation.
Then, Zheng Rong continued: "The Zheng family has a family motto, that is, women can't show their heads outside...... The reason for this motto is unknown, but one thing is certain. Because Meng Zheng rarely goes out since he was a child, outsiders have never known whether our Meng Zheng is beautiful or not, but I have to say that Meng Zheng is indeed very beautiful, not even worse than the wives and concubines of those princes. ”
"Really?" Qin Xin said that he seriously doubted this, and thought: Have you ever seen the wives and concubines of other princes.
