Chapter 45: Snow is like a dream
Sandwiched by more than 40 miles between the Uji Canal and the Ji River, it is a quaint and affectionate area of Pengcheng, because of the special scenery of the back river and the river, many literati and artists, painters and musicians, and even litigators and businessmen prefer to live and work in this place. Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ info snowflakes falling, dancing in the wind, the snow window in front of the glorious, the light is full of eyes, the Pengcheng that has faded away the smoke of war is so delicate, chic, quaint, shrouded in clouds and mist, glazed smoke, poetic and mesmerized, like a sleeping beauty shrouded in tulle.
The house that Kong Lifei and Xiong Luoer helped me buy is also in this generation. I looked at this courtyard, it is a Suzhou garden style three-entry courtyard, the face of the water is meandering, the pavilion houses are high and low, the main road and the path are winding and quiet, and the public opinion is very exquisite. The hall is grand and gorgeous, the courtyard is full of changes, the rockery in the garden is made of Taihu stone, in order to make it not out of the city and get the interest of the mountain forest, the trail side sparse bamboo runs through the peripheral corridor of the whole garden, twists and turns, roundabout and rich in changes, the south hall is the north water, the east is the residence, the water is across the water, the corridor is all over, it is very beautiful and elegant. Nowadays, the corner door, wing, kitchen, all kinds of courtyards are complete, the girls in the courtyard have also been matched, the cleaning is very neat, the red lights and red candles and red gauze tents prepared for the newlyweds have also been arranged everywhere, and the heavy snow is covered, the beauty is incredible, I have seen it carefully, but I still can't see what else needs to be purchased.
"It's really hard for you," I looked at the snowflakes falling on Kong Lifei's head, shook the white fox cloak on my body, and dusted off the flying snow outside Kong Lifei's ink-blue and gold-silk military attachΓ© cloak, and said with a smile, "Although the marriage is prepared with the help of Master Xing's mother, this house is really thanks to you and Luo'er." β
"Do you still need to be so polite?" Kong Lifei pursed his lips, "Choosing a house, saying the price, training the servants, and purchasing things are all Luo'er's favorite things to do. β
I saw the snowflakes fluttering beside him, and I felt a strange mixture of happiness and sorrow. After the rush, the street fighting, and the new turmoil, I am afraid that there will be new contradictions and new struggles, and it will surface along with the new situation.
"When did you marry Luo'er?" I suddenly turned around, picked up a snowball, looked at Kong Lifei, smiled maliciously, and smashed it, asking him as I smashed.
He bowed his head lightly and gently like a crane, and flashed away, and the snowball immediately exploded into snowflakes on the stone bench behind him, thinking slightly, and grinning again, "When Prince Ning comes back this time, after marrying the princess, my nature will be soon, but I still have a few dowries for Luo'er, and this time Pengcheng is in chaos, Luo'er has some new ideas for me, and I also think that there are many things that can be improved." β
"Oh?" I rubbed it up with a wicked smile and said, "For example, you can always automatically add firewood and blow up the kitchen lighter?" β
As he spoke, Xiong Luo'er, who was wrapped in a flaming crane behind her, had already jumped out of the snow. I looked up, and saw Luo'er combing a simple anti-silk bun, the white fox's wind fur on the side of the silver-red embroidered flamingo fur jacket was very good, and the snowflakes contrasted with each other, the goose-yellow cotton skirt underneath, the snow-skinned moon eyes, and also taller than in previous years, with a pretty face smiling, waving the crane slightly, the cold wind was wrapped in goose feathers and hexagonal snowflakes swirling on the body and face, and she couldn't see that she was really a protruding girl with empty sleeves. Kong Lifei also saw her, jumped over like a monkey and said, "It's so cold, doesn't it mean that you don't need to come again?" β
"Then what's the matter," Xiong Luo'er whispered, "I'm going to welcome my relatives tomorrow, I have to help Qin Qing and Master Xing to see how the arrangements are on your side." After speaking, she generously grabbed Kong Lifei's arm, and Ying Ying smiled: "I have a surprise for you tomorrow." Later, we will go back early, so that Fu Yannian can rest early, and Mother Xing asked me to bring a message, indicating that someone will come to serve you early in the morning. β
β¦β¦
I originally thought that the marriage was to wear red and willow green, bring some gold and silver, and go to snatch the bride from the courtyard to worship in the courtyard, and everyone toasted and tore up for a while, but unexpectedly, three days in advance, I was not allowed to see Qin Qing. On the auspicious day of the wedding, it was not very dawn, so I was pulled out by four or five mothers-in-law to dress up and comb and listen to them tell me about today's arrangements. First of all, wait to wear auspicious clothes, underwear and white silk single clothes are worn, and then a layer of auspicious clothes lining, and then, there is a round neck placket, left and right air, and straight cuffs of the robe auspicious clothes.
Because of my official rank with Qin Qing, mine is a Xuanduan dress, a silk dress, a white silk single coat, a silk color, the cuffs are embroidered with satin ground and eight groups of floral patterns, and the trimmed waist is tied with gold silk trimmed jade belt. Although you don't have to dress up like your daughter's family, you have to lay out the crown comb, and the body is full of various colors of jade and colorful silk, tie up your hair, tie it into a Han bun, put the groom on the crown, tie the jade plate, and then put the pair of red shoes on board, and then it's over.
I only want to get married once in my life, so I let my mother-in-law play and dress me, and I simply brought the tea, blew and drank, squinted my eyes and waited for a while to rest. But at that moment, another mother-in-law pushed the door in, holding rouge gouache in her hand, and walked straight towards me, and I couldn't help but spray tea all over her hands with a pop. Take the opportunity to escape. When I passed through the hall, I saw Kong Lifei and Sheng Zheng, one wearing iron embroidery red, and the other wearing dark joy red, each dressed quite similarly and carrying the gift to be taken to Qin Qing's house, waiting for me in the hall. Although the hour is still early, there are already all kinds of noisy sounds in the yard, the lanterns are very lively, my three-entry courtyard has long been flooded, and the long shed of Xing's mother's wedding meal is covered with red brocade and red silk is dizzy.
Seeing this situation, I couldn't help but smile bitterly, thinking of the invitation list of more than 1,000 people, I really regret that I didn't hand over this matter to such a big deal at the beginning, lest the world not know, lest the world not be chaotic, but she used her enthusiasm and vulgarity to let everyone not go to the senior Xinyue secret spy. Kong Lifei let me eat and prepare to get on the horse, Sheng Zheng also led the horse on the side, I asked curiously, "With so many tables of banquets, which wine shop has hosted it?" β
"Haha," Sheng Zheng smiled on the side, looking like a moon, he was originally tall and handsome, a crane and a wolf, and when he smiled, he accompanied this festive color, and his face became more and more like a beautiful jade, young and extraordinary. I only heard him say: "General Fu turned out to be a careless person." Master Xing's mother did this matter, but the lord laughed, she gave the money to let the five big wine shops in Pengcheng undertake it together, otherwise, who would dare to take her business. That day, the Lord heard about this, and laughed and said that the Fu family had paid for this good daughter-in-law. After saying that, he put a black gauze round hat with a big red flower on my head, and then handed me a horse rope, and led a tall white horse with a big red flower on the saddle to me, and he and Kong Lifei each led two red-maned horses of the same height. The three of them took the scout camp to help, and the brothers who went to greet their relatives together lined up with the sedan chair to greet their relatives and slowly walked out to General Qin's mansion.
I heard what Sheng Zheng said, and I couldn't help but be speechless. sighed in my heart that this Xing Qiuyan is also a talent. Stayed on the horse, found that the snow in the horse driving is also quite a bit of technical content, especially the messy auspicious clothes are far less convenient than the daily robes, I have to walk slowly, on both sides to see the lively Pengcheng people, the family since childhood because of the spy and rarely been peeped at, always peep at others today I am completely surrounded by a lot of eyes, feel trapped in the enemy scouts in general, accept the helplessness of the salute.
Along the way, the white walls and green tiles of the same color in the city, the eaves of the bucket arches, the place where the snow is light, there are red silk flowers that are tied high and low fluttering, and the red silk flying teeth and claws between the high and low are festive and lively, and the suona hands in front of the blowing and blowing are playing the posture of one step at a time, as if the lightning striked.
When we arrived at the door of General Qin's mansion, the necks of the two lions were also on my gauze hats, and the big red flowers of the same color on the saddles. And Xiong Luo'er, who looked handsome in front of the door and wore a dark red wedding dress, and the women's army behind her, all holding Luo Wei bamboo swords in their hands, and the ancient style was like a dream, and they opened the formation of sword stabbing and stabbing.
"Sure enough, it's a surprise-" Kong Lifei stuck out his tongue behind me, and said in a comforting tone, "It's a big surprise to welcome your relatives into the door, what's the matter?" You have to make a move first. β
"Then set up a battle to fight, a few people behind them, and we can just pick a few people to make a move." I geared up.
"Eight, I'll go to the back of the team and order five people to be with the three of us. But we don't have weapons," Sheng Zheng whispered behind him, "People hold wooden swords, they can't hurt people, but they can hit people, can we fight directly with our fists?" β
"You go and order someone, and I'll come when I go." Kong Lifei squeezed his eyes at Sheng Zheng, and handed me another look, taking advantage of the crackling of firecrackers, he turned into the backyard of General Qin's mansion, and after a while, he grabbed five rolling pins with both hands and turned them out, handed them to the five people behind him, and then said to me, "The three of us have no weapons, use this." "After that, he handed me and Sheng Zheng a branch, and he took one himself.
It's not easy for a military general to greet his relatives, and he has to break the formation before entering the door, so I thought secretly in my heart, and said to the people behind me, "Street fighting-style gossip array." Column, in place. β
Xiong Luo'er on the opposite side saw us like a great enemy, but smiled mischievously, revealing her cute little tiger teeth and pear vortex, "Saddle horse eight streams, left middle hit the side, three sides into a dance, falling snow beauty." After speaking, the girls on the opposite side struck with a graceful sword dancing posture, but they did not actually hit, only glided on our side like a dance, and from time to time they laughed and smiled in our battle formation, so that we did not know whether to meet the enemy at all, and we stood awkwardly with the branches and rolling pins that would be completely wrong, and when they were layered on both sides of the hall, they tore the red silk on both sides of the hall, and released brilliant fireworks in the air.
So I read backwards, "The wind has no shape, attached to the sky, and becomes a snake, its meaning is gradually mysterious, the wind can drum things, all things are around, the snake can be around, the cloud is attached to the ground, the beginning is invisible, become a bird, its shape is formed, the bird can be prominent, the cloud can be obscure, ever-changing" Then everyone changed the formation, drank songs and danced, Sheng Zheng sang and stepped on the snow" The north and south drive to report the main situation, the river lace grass laughs at the life, three hundred and sixty days a year, are Hengge horses up, the man has the ambition to serve the country, and Pinghai Yan must seal the Hou Path. I shouted, "Drumming and singing!" So everyone picked up the rolling pins and struck each other into drums, singing in unison the military song created by Qi Shaobao, "All people are united, Taishan can be shaken." Only loyal and righteous, angry bullfighting. The Lord will kiss me better than my parents. Committing military law is not free. The order is clear, and the reward and punishment letter is written. Go to the water and fire, dare to stay late! Report to the sky and save the head of Qian. Kill all the slaves and find a marquis. β
In the snow and red silk, General Qin Qiong slowly stepped out, let the little guy next to him take the welcome gift in the hands of Kong Lifei and Sheng Zheng, and let the generals holding the wine jar behind him hand me the wine jar, and took a jar himself. I knew that this was also an auspicious daughter's red wine that must be drunk, so I also took it boldly, shook the silk cloth on the wine altar, and was about to drink it, but was stopped by Qin Qiong. I saw that the family behind him would take out two golden and shiny helmets, and then, the red wine fragrance of his daughter was injected into the golden helmet and galloped in the air. Then he strode across the sedan car door and walked forward, and each of them was saluted behind him, and finally squeezed in front of the embroidered boudoir.
Married, faint. When the sun set, the sunset reflected the snowflakes in the sky, everyone drank the microwave swaying, and the eyes were full of golden light, I finally received my bride. She wore a bright red five-grade fateful Yunxia Mandarin Duck Silk Luo Xia Veil, the same color of Xipa red silk, embroidered with the double flying and double residence diagram of the carved silk Shu brocade red embroidered shoes Lianbu Shanshan, the accompanying grandmother and aunt's family with red eyes, handed her into my arms, I picked her up horizontally, turned around again, strode her on the wedding sedan chair, the four girls who accompanied the marriage helped the sedan chair on one side, the sound of firecrackers sounded again, the blowing and blowing team stepped on the snow, and walked to the next link - worship and marriage.
The gorgeous snow, the beautiful sedan chair, like a dream. In a good life, although there are many earthly worries, but if you have this heart, you have won countless times. The red in the falling snow is like a fairyland, and we will eventually join hands in this life.
