"Ring the new bell, palm flower candles, open the happy door, welcome the bride, wo water, eat in the same prison, and ...... wine" into the wedding hall, Xu Wedding Red Silk cooperates together, untie the hair, and then worship the gods of heaven and earth under the command of the master of ceremonies, raise hands and eyebrows, and worship husband and wife, General Qin Yi, who sits on the top to accept the salute, is full of red face, and Fu Shao, who receives the gift of his parents on the other side, also nods frequently. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
I have always admired Qin Qing's sense of direction, if I was covered with a hijab like this, I turned so many circles, and bowed and saluted, I would have long since known what to do, but she was self-conscious, and the lotus step moved calmly and lightly. Especially after crossing the copper furnace and copper basin of charcoal fire and incense, and worshipping the ancestors.
After the big ceremony is completed three times, the two sides of the master of ceremonies and the praise of the two people retreated obliquely, the crowd rode on the snow and held the plum, the tiger guards behind him still did not leave the side and gradually lined up, the two rows of eunuchs in front of him were all in the color of the inner service, playing the drum beat of "Phoenix Seeking Phoenix" in front of the guide to open the way, and gradually approached, I saw the smiling Prince Jing, saw him dismounted, I and Qin Qing saluted. The prince just walked forward, holding a standard document with a royal red gold silk trimmed silk book in his hand. Zhengse said, "General Xue Fantai, the former chief privy secretary of the Mingjian Division and the patriotic general, specially wrote an article to celebrate the two newcomers, please ask General Fu to smile." ”
I was stunned at first, and was secretly surprised in my heart, and then looked at Xing Qiuyan, but saw that she didn't dodge, only looked at me with a smile and a generous smile, and her expression did not change, I had to step forward and salute it, and said with a smile, "It's just a marriage, I was so worried that the prince came, and I was so frightened that I asked the prince to drink a few more cups." ”
"It's easy to say," Prince Jing waved his hand and smiled, looking at me with a pair of deep and clear eyes, and said leisurely, "The eldest princess gave you a gift, this king is just here to send a favor." I don't know if General Fu likes it? ”
"The eldest princess is very loving, and it is an honor." Saying this, his eyes secretly drifted over the tables of old friends of Xinyue who were invited by Xing Qiuyan, looking at everyone's confused looks, I felt that the eldest princess was not doing things simply, and such a big fanfare was tantamount to openly announcing that Xue Fantai was no longer a secret minister of Xinyue, and he could already go back and forth with Beiming to celebrate at will.
I only heard the master of ceremonies and then said to me, "The bridegroom bows," and glanced at Tongzan, and said, "Send it into the cave room", and then someone handed me one end of the red silk tied with a big red yarn thick hydrangea, and the other end was handed to Qin Qing.
Behind him was a burst of applause and shouting about the cave room, as well as all kinds of cups and cups, and the sound of feasting. Everyone is probably planning to eat and drink enough, and then get ready to go to the haunted cave room. As early as in the mansion of General Qin Yi, I was poured by Qin Qiong, entered the cave room, and saw the room full of festive happy words and layers of red gauze curtains, the red felt on the ground and the bed were all red quilted and wrapped, in the wine, the thick and thin red flower candles in the side hall were dazzling, connected into a line of bright lights, the red candles burst with lights, the smoke cage in the red copper Satsuma incense burner was foggy, and the room was even more hazy, like a dream. The silver charcoal basin in the cave room made the whole room warm, and I forgot the heavy snow outside the window. And in this dream-like day, among the flowers and candles in the cave room, I saw Qin Qing bored playing with the red hijab covering her face, and suddenly felt very pity in her heart, so she hurriedly stepped up with an arrow and picked off the red hijab on her head.
I took a look at Qin Qing, and saw that there were three layers on the crown of her head, one layer inside, tired silk beads, delicate emerald red chrysanthemum inlaid with beaded hairpins, slipping gold magpie bead flowers, holding five phoenixes Chaoyang Guizhu hairpin purple gold phoenix butterfly gilt step shake, Yunxia Mandarin Duck flat gold Tian, and then on the outer crown of the head is gold silk inlaid ruby double luan point cui step shake, rich and noble double happiness gilt step shake, and marrying three gold embellishment treasure enamel color step shake, white jade face next to the small ear, the ear pendant is cloisonne red coral earrings, folded under the lamp and candle to the color of the color of the note, The jade-like hands are with silk double-buckle agate red bracelets, and there are always dozens of them, which makes me laugh, "If I didn't know that it was the new and more ceremonial master of ceremonies to dress up, I would almost think it was the handwriting of Master Xing's mother, but although so many things are complex and stacked, they are not unelegant, mainly because my lady is naturally beautiful and difficult to give up, even if the vulgar powder, gold hairpin and jade silk, stacked redundant on the body, I can't suppress the lady's natural extravagance, swallowing mountains and rivers——"
Qin Qing laughed, I just looked at her, and I saw that she was also looking at me with a sneering expression, I followed her gaze, and saw the jade pendants, silk silks, sachets, pendants, and more than a dozen people hanging on my body, and I couldn't help laughing. But he heard Qin Qing instruct, "You go and get some food secretly, I'm hungry." ”
I hurriedly ran to the kitchen according to the words, saw me going, the kitchen steward of the gentleman hurriedly greeted me and asked about the meaning, to ask to understand my intention, Fang smiled, hurriedly prepared a three-layer red sandalwood octagonal food box handed over, I looked, there are children and grandchildren gluttony, jade shrimp dumplings, four happiness dumplings, carp dragon gate, cui cover wings, Liyang lotus root clip, Qingzhou deer feeding, cloud leg black chicken soup and other more than a dozen kinds of food, I saw that I salivated, and I was busy thanking and actively took the cave room, wanting to share it with Qin Qing. When I hurriedly walked through the backyard, I saw that in the small pavilion next to the rockery piled up by Taihu Lake, a pair of beautiful people stood by the railing, a middle-aged woman with a green jacket and gilt body wearing a crane spilled her shoulders, a pair of eyes that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, and the two bends seemed to be frowning and not frowning, and the face was like a frost gently ironed, happy but not obscene and sad but not sad, and the man on the side was close to middle age, but he could still see his stunning appearance, beautiful hair and light hair, wearing a blue jacket after the rain in the etiquette system of Beiming Wenchen, holding a jade pot of wine, the two were shrouded in the wind and snow. But it was as if he didn't realize it. It was the eldest princess and Wang Jin. Wang Jin's hand gently brushed the snow from the ends of the eldest princess's hair, and the eldest princess smiled like an innocent girl, graceful and shy, it turned out that women in happiness were like this. Seeing the harmonious scene between the two of them, thinking of the joy with Qin Qing today, his heart couldn't help but be hot, so he hurriedly quickly disappeared into the darkness and continued to walk towards the cave room.
It's just that Wang Geng's appearance suddenly appeared in his thoughts, between the lips and eyebrows like the eldest princess, the stunning color like Wang Jin's jade face, a gust of snowflakes flew by with a cold wind, I couldn't help but smile helplessly for my thoughts, my intuition seemed to suddenly tell me that the eldest princess who has been rumored to be particularly fond of Wang Geng, Wang Geng is the eldest princess's face, it seems that it is self-defeating at the moment, think about it, that Wang Jin is the eldest princess's true lover, and Wang Geng, should be born to the eldest princess. As for why she couldn't live in both houses, I think it is also because the eldest princess married into the Liang family with He Yaolan back then, and it should be regarded as a dowry girl, that is, Liang Yi's concubine. If the true love is like the two of them, then how much difference is there between marriage and non-marriage?
It is also because I did drink too much wine, people's thinking has become unscrupulous, I gossiped all the way about the things before and after, made a speculation and conclusion about the private affairs of the eldest princess, and conceived a very moving love story, before I went to the door of the cave room, but saw that the group of activists in the cave house had already crowded in the door, just because I was not there, Qin Qing was coquettish and timidly made grievances, as if he didn't know where I went, so that Yiying people didn't have the interest of making trouble, so he went back to the house, and went to the courtyard to find me, And I took advantage of this moment, stood under the window and knocked on the carved window, secretly turned back to the cave room, locked the door with Qin Qing, and then the two opened the food box, and the two blind gourmets who couldn't cook began to taste these dishes in today's wedding banquet. Who knew that he had just eaten half of it, but he was blocked in the room by the crossbow battalion and the firearms battalion brothers in the second wave of haunted houses, and after a while, he couldn't help but pull out to toast. The long shed is boundless, many people have already finished eating and quitting, only some people who love to watch the theater still insist on watching the theater with perseverance. I saluted one table at a time, but I was depressed in my heart, and drank like this, my cave room is no longer a play today. At this moment, I saw Yu Wenchen get up and walk over to me with a pot of happy wine, "I'll go with General Fu to toast," After speaking, he spontaneously replaced the toasting guy behind me, and poured it up with the pot of happy wine. When I drank this pot of "happy wine" for the first time, I was really grateful, but between eye contact, Yu Wenchen didn't seem to care, continued to help me entertain, and walked back one table at a time.
When I returned to the cave room after shaking this wave again, I saw that Qin Qing had already taken care of herself and finished washing with water, the fat powder and lead Hua faded, the auspicious clothes hung on one side, and only a delicate and invincible Qing Shui Hibiscus waited in the room where the red candle was swaying and warm, and the wine in my heart was even more hot at the moment, so I hurriedly closed the door and ran to the bed without delay. When I looked closely, Qin Qing's skin was like condensation, and his phoenix eyes were affectionate, which made my heart ripple, and I couldn't help hugging her and said, "I will treat you well for the rest of my life." Unexpectedly, Qin Qing's left leg swept slightly, and a one-word horse stuck me by the wall with a bow left and right, and the smiling flower branch trembled and said, "Full of wine, wash it first," and then called Jinping to hold a copper basin and fill it with water, let me wipe it well, and then I took off my clothes, and the two of them got into the red satin twisted gold and silver silk silk silk brocade quilt together. Layers of red silk are put down, and the warmth is melting.
When I woke up the next day, Qin Qing had already dressed up as usual, holding an ordinary bride's heart-to-heart concentric bun on her head, the bun was tied with a square pot auspicious sideburns and long belt, leaving only a red gold Bian Qingyun Yongfu on her head, accompanied by the bright moon in her ears and wearing a ring, which made people very happy, she was wearing a brand-new Luo red soft wool brocade cloak and flower jacket, and the smoky silver Luo flower cotton skirt was capable and joyful, and when she saw that I was also awake, she urged me to freshen up, saying that she was going to General Qin's mansion today to greet her, and she also wanted to take me to see the dowry. I got up according to my words, Jinping had already commanded the four little girls to wash and comb with water, rinse their mouths with green salt, serve early, and then tie their hair and put up a crown, pack up their clothes, and serve thoughtfully. Before going out, I also asked the little girl to put on the thick brocade inlaid silver ratskin cloak of my Beiming military general and Qin Qing's eight regiments to meet with a thick brocade inlaid silver ratskin cloak for us, and then called the coachman outside, and the mother-in-law at the door opened the curtain, and several people went out together.
After seeing General Qin Yi and Qin Qiong, naturally there were many teas, greetings, and greetings, and I stayed for lunch at noon, and when I didn't have a long rest, Qin Qing took me around to a secret grid, impressed the mechanism, and gradually went down the white jade stairs, and then came to the secret room. It is not so much a secret room, but a place where files are stored very similar to my grandfather's secret room, and the things placed are very similar, but they are spy files, except for the bookshelf, desk, pen and ink, there is nothing else. It's just that there must be very few people who can come in and take a look at such a place. Qin Qing seems to be bland, but he gave me a thing that can be called the most loved thing in my heart: trust. Qin Qing brought me here and announced the legitimacy of my future here, which must be the best of the dowry she said. That also means that I will learn more about Xinyue, and Beiming Xinyue's rebuke of various affairs also means that I have a deeper connection and interests with Beiming.
Although I have made sufficient psychological preparations, when I really opened the various restructuring and spy denunciation files of Xinyue in recent years, I was still deeply moved by it, moved by some indescribable efforts and beliefs, and moved by Xinyue's unremitting efforts and unyielding efforts for self-improvement. Unexpected, reasonable, but still makes my blood boil.
