Chapter 11 Marriage
After all, it is not a glamorous thing to get rich, and this era also advocates 'marriage is not happy' - in fact, it is mainly 'music', which is something that only nobles can enjoy, so the whole wedding process that follows is very low-key. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
In the wedding procession......
Let's use the word 'marriage'. There are not many people escorting, Meng Zheng's carriage in front, counting the coachman, there are only eight people, and the remaining seven are maidservants, as for Qin Xin's side, four powerful men prevent Qin Xin from jumping out of the car halfway and escaping, plus Zheng Rong, and then there is a coachman, there are only six people.
It won't be long...... Under the cover of clear night, two carriages came to the gate of the temple.
When he got out of the carriage, Qin Xin looked at the back of the other party wearing a wedding dress again. During this period, of course, Qin Xin also noticed that those maids helped them from time to time Meng Zheng peeked at herself, peeked at her, and then came to her own house Meng Zheng whispered in her ear, but she pretended not to whisper.
Qin Xin saw all this, and he also felt a little crying and laughing. "Perhaps throughout the ages, this kind of thing is inevitable no matter what.
At the gate of the temple, Zheng Qing of Jiayi saw that the carriage had arrived, and he also hurriedly ran into the temple to inform Zheng He, and after that, a couple of newlyweds crossed the courtyard and walked into the court together. When I went in, I was supposed to be going in side by side. But I don't know if the person in front is also shy, so his pace is a little faster, or Qin Xin in the back has decided that he doesn't want to see him for the time being, so he deliberately slows down. In the process of entering, the two of them always kept one after the other, and they were able to maintain a relatively fixed distance between the front and back - about five steps. Moreover, the people in front did not look at the back. The people in the back no longer took the initiative to look at the front, and the two became strangers. Although, at first glance of Zheng He and his wife and concubine, he felt a little awkward, and felt that this was more like a sign of discord between husband and wife. However, Zheng He only thought now that this was Qin Xin's bullish temper again. In his heart, he secretly slandered:
"You kid, my daughter Tianzi and the prince didn't give it, so I gave it to you, and you still don't want to, do you want to be angry with me. But you have to tie the knot today, and you have to tie the knot if you don't. ”
Then, in front of Zheng He and Zhuang Mi, a couple held a simple and heavy wedding. When it was time for the husband and wife to bow to each other, Qin Xin saw each other's faces for the first time, and then quickly turned his head. Because of Qin Xin's personality, he can brag in his mouth, that is, bragging, but if it really comes to actual combat, it is not necessarily. After all, as an innocent little boy, he used to be a cowardly existence who didn't even dare to look directly at the goddess a few more times. As for the question of the other party's appearance that everyone is most concerned about......
This can be reassured, because if he sees an ugly girl, Qin Xin will not shyly tilt his head, or he will turn his eyes to the side and pretend to look at the ground. It can be seen that Qin Xin's impression of the other party at first glance is quite good, but this makes Qin Xin feel a little inferior. After all, no matter what, if the other party's conditions are good, then the pursuit must be higher. He now has a slight affection for the other party, but this does not mean that the other party will also have a good impression of him. Of course! In this process, Qin Xin has actually done his best to make himself more handsome. For example, as the saying goes, "Standing like a pine, sitting like a clock", now Qin Xin is even kneeling, kneeling like a loose bell. And where Qin Xin turned his head and didn't see it......
Originally, Zheng He was still a little worried about whether his own Meng Zheng would not like Qin Xin, after all, if he didn't like it, then Zheng He would be a little ashamed of his daughter.
In addition to the Zheng family motto, in addition to women not being allowed to go out and show their heads, there is actually another one, that is, never think too highly of women, and even have a precept that women must be respected. To be honest, this is definitely a bit out of place under the mainstream thinking. At first, Zheng He didn't understand why there was this, but after listening to what his deceased father had said to him, Zheng He also understood. After all, the Zheng family relied on women to get to where they are today. And now, seeing that the two of them glanced at each other, they immediately turned their heads at the same time, and Zheng He was relieved. Because of this kind of quick skimming, if it is a person who has come by, it can actually be seen at a glance. It's definitely not the kind of skimming that I don't like, but it's more like the jerky and shy mutual liking of young men and women in love. This is probably, and there is also the credit of the maid and Zheng He who praised Qin Xin for looking good before. Of course! It also has to be Qin Xin's good looks to make women fall in love at first sight.
For example, several wives and concubines of Zheng He, when they saw Qin Xin at first glance, they immediately felt that this son-in-law looked a little shocking.
After the husband and wife have bowed to each other, it can be regarded as a ceremony. In addition to Zheng He and Zhuang Mi's 'reprimands' during the wedding, the other concubines also slightly added some elders' blessings to the couple. And from the tone and content of these people's speeches, it can be distinguished that among Zheng He's several wives and concubines, the eldest Zhuang Mi is quite a dignified type, the second Zheng sleeve is kind and a little more amiable and weak, the third and fourth are Zheng Dan and Zheng Yu are relatively straightforward and unrestrained, squeaky types, and the fifth Zheng Ni is too young, even one year younger than Meng Zheng, it seems that the stepmother's age is a little young, and people are usually not very good at talking, but in the end, the sincere blessing is indeed delivered.
After the elder's blessing was finished, Zheng He looked at the sky outside, it was not too early, "Since the wedding is completed, let's go back." As soon as Zheng He spoke, everyone returned the way they came. And when I go back...... After all, today is the wedding of Qin Xin and Meng Zheng, a couple of newlyweds, so they no longer think about what elders want to go first and juniors want to go later, but the elders directly watched Qin Xin and Meng Zheng board the carriage together, and because the number of carriages was actually insufficient, Zheng He and his wives and concubines slowly walked back the same way, and when they were in a good mood, they naturally felt more relaxed when they walked. At that time, in the Zheng family, the people had already prepared more sumptuous dishes than usual, waiting for the newcomers and the return of the people.
……
-- On the carriage on the way back.
A couple sat side by side in a compartment with a small space. It's just that the atmosphere in the carriage seems to be a little too restrained. Qin Xin was restrained because Meng Zheng was indeed beautiful, and he was only eighteen years old this year, which was quite young. In terms of temperament, it seems that there is not only the delicate and gentle beauty of southern women, but also the atmosphere and dignity of some northern women. But it is precisely because of this that talking to beautiful women has never been Qin Xin's forte. Although the other party is already his wife in name, it seems that he can be unscrupulous, and he doesn't have to worry about being called a hooligan, but the idea of equality and respect for women has always been hidden in Qin Xin's heart. Although he likes each other, and the two are also married, but this time it is out of the 'order of his parents' after all, if the other party actually doesn't like him, then Qin Xin will be very embarrassed. Obviously, now, Qin Xin is restrained by this. After all......
He doesn't know if the other party will like him too.
Qin Xin recalled Meng Zheng's physiognomy, as the so-called "phase is born from the heart", the other party is not like that kind of strong woman, but looks eight points gentle and sweet, two points elegant and cold.
And Meng Zheng's restraint seems to be similar to Qin Xin's. It's just that it may be more of a young girl's shyness and shyness towards the handsome husband she has just met. Before getting married, her father, as well as some maidservants, had actually described in front of her how good-looking and majestic the other party was. In the temple court, after seeing it for the first time, she also saw it, and indeed as her father and maidservants said, in general, she was still satisfied. But, after all, they will still be shy, even if the relationship between the two is now certain.
In this way, in the small space, Qin Xin sat quite uncomfortably, and Meng Zheng also looked very nervous by holding the corner of her clothes with his hand.
I don't know how long this embarrassment lasted......
"Ahem!"
After a cough...... 'The man still has to take the initiative after all.' I don't know who said this, but now, Qin Xin feels that it makes sense. Qin Xin also felt that no matter whether the other party also liked him or not, at least ...... The two should not stop talking to each other because they may not like it. "We have to find something to talk about."
And then......
Although the soil is a little dirty.
"Y-What's your name?" Qin Xin asked.
In Qin Xin's understanding, Meng Zheng is just the milk name and nickname of ancient women in this era, Meng means the eldest in the family, and Zheng is the surname.
"My name is Qin Xin, and the word ......" Qin Xin. Speaking of this word, Qin Xin was a little sad, because he hadn't even taken the word yet, so Qin Hao kicked him out of the house.
In fact, to be reasonable, it will not be until the beginning of March this year that he will be considered an official adult. Before that, he was nineteen years old. But now......
All right! He could only say that Qin Hao did a good job. 'You're my father!' Send such a beautiful daughter-in-law. In the future, if you want your son to eat, you will never be allowed to drink porridge all the time. ’
"Word ...... Not yet. What to say...... In a word...... It's a bit complicated. Qin Xin said.
As soon as the conversation box was opened, Qin Xin was able to speak fluently, but I am afraid that this effect can only be achieved by feeling it, after all, once the attention is no longer in the embarrassment of getting along, the words are still relatively easy to speak. It's just an inexplicable 'pretending to be pitiful' skill, which was also launched at this moment, and Qin Xin's words faintly contained a trace of loneliness of being swept out of the house, especially the last sentence, 'In short...... It's a bit complicated,' almost with a sigh.
After Qin Xin finished speaking, he waited for the other party to say.
In this era, "men are twenty, and the crown is written", and "women are allowed to marry, and they are written in the same way". And I believe that earlier today, Zheng He had already told Meng Zheng what Meng Zheng's 'word' was. Yes, originally...... Qin Xin thought so, but ......
Qin Xin turned his head to look at the other party, and the other party seemed to also notice the loneliness and sigh in Qin Xin's words - although he didn't know what the reason was, he also inexplicably felt more sympathy and pity. And then...... Probably thanks to these sympathies and pity, the other party finally found an opportunity to muster up the courage to raise his head slightly and look at Qin Xin, although he was still very shy, his face was still crimson, but he still said it, "I, my name is Meng Zheng......" His voice changed from strong to weak, and he said shyly: "...... My father hasn't given me a word yet. "Finished. Sure enough, she still couldn't look directly at Qin Xin for a long time, and soon lowered her head shyly again.
And seeing the reaction of the other party shyly lowering his head and clutching the corners of his clothes with both hands, Qin Xin quickly smiled in his heart. After all...... I've never eaten pork, and I've never seen a pig run.
"It's still a girl in this era who is simple! It's obviously a goddess level, but it's such a cute and shy performance. ”
In Qin Xin's impression, goddesses are out of reach. However, the current Meng Zheng is in his opinion...... I have to say that Qin Xin likes it more.
After understanding that the other party is not the type who is difficult to approach and likes to reject people thousands of miles away, but is more like a gentle and shy person who marries a chicken and a dog, Qin Xin will soon be bolder and can talk about more topics.
'What do you like to do?' I mean...... What are your hobbies......
Accompanied by the bright moonlight and the singing of birds and insects all the way, the carriage, which was originally very restrained, slowly became no longer restrained. The person who was originally extremely shy, although he is still extremely shy now, but at least, the communication between the two did not stop because he was shy.
……
'Read the book. Said over there.
Then Qin Xin was stunned for a moment, thinking about what this 'reading book' meant. Before Qin Xin came to his senses......
'Isn't that weird?' He asked cautiously tentatively.
It should have felt that after Qin Xin listened to what she said, he was stunned, so he asked.
How to say it in this era, women's interests, no matter what they are, at least reading books, that is, 'reading', basically have little fate with women, and the rulers of the current dynasty did not attach importance to the construction of this aspect. The other party was probably afraid that Qin Xin would not like it, so he asked.
'Talented girl? But just when the other party was a little worried, what Qin Xin said next was these two words.
'Uh......' and then the other party was also stunned.
Qin Xin continued: 'It's good to read the book! So what type of books do you usually read......
