142. 142 The Gift of Marriage
Chu Xiangbai's words made Hua Qingmo a little surprised, she looked at the big red depicted golden begonia flower makeup box in front of her, and took it from Chu Xiangbai's hand after a while, and smiled slightly: "I'm tired of Chu Gongzi going back to return to the nine thousand years old, just say that Mo'er thanks him for the gift." β
"I'll tell the Overseer below." Chu Xiangbai looked at Hua Qingmo, and couldn't help but want to laugh, he was really looking forward to the day he got married, and the county lord of Qinghe saw that the groom had been replaced, and he didn't know how he would feel.
Chu Xiangbai quickly left, looking at the Nacai gift that was placed in the hall, King Ningjun's face was extremely dark. At this time, the prince of the West looked at King Ningjun and said slightly apologetically: "King Ningjun, this king didn't expect such a thing to happen, I'm sorry." β
"The prince of the west doesn't have to blame himself, even if the prince of Heng Shizi doesn't come to quit his relatives on this day, the gelding wants to marry Jin'er, and the king of this county is helpless." King Ning Jun sighed and looked at Hua Xijin with some apologetic eyes. When he was about to speak, Hua Xijin quickly walked out of the main hall.
At the same time, Chu Shiyin stood up, saluted the people in the main hall, and then quickly chased after Hua Xijin. When she arrived at the garden, Chu Shiyin grabbed Hua Xijin and then pulled her back to the room.
After closing the door, Hua Xijin looked at Chu Shiyin with a painful expression, then grabbed her arm and said, "Mother, what should I do?" If I marry that eunuch, I will die at his hands within a month, and I don't want to die, I don't want to die. β
Seeing her daughter like this, Chu Shiyin was also a little anxious, and after pondering for a while, her eyes turned cold, and she said, "Jin'er, since this matter has been decided, there is no possibility of changing it at all." Pingning County Mansion will never dare to compete with Xiao Wangfu, but let's steal the beams and change the pillars. β
Chu Shiyin's words made Hua Xijin calm down immediately, her eyes were slightly gloomy, she looked at Chu Shiyin, and asked with some uncertainty: "Mother means to make Hua Qingmo ......"
"What do you say?" Chu Shiyin smiled meaningfully, and then she reached out and stroked Hua Xijin's long hair, and said: "Anyway, Hua Qingmo is married to anyone, so it's better to let her marry that gelding, I will tell the prince of the county to set your marriage on one day, and at that time, as long as there is a small mistake, then it is very possible for the bride to accidentally make a mistake." β
"But mother, it will inevitably be discovered when the cave is in the house." Hua Xijin said with some worry.
"At that time, the medicine will be, you will first have a husband and wife ceremony with Heng Shizi, and then even if you are discovered, you will also be Heng Shizi's person at that time, even if Bai Zixiao still wants you, Xiwangfu will not stand idly by." Chu Shiyin opened her mouth with a smile, but there was a trace of gloom on her beautiful face that could not be spoken. Soon, an unspeakable killing intent crossed her eyes, she clenched her hand and said, "As for Hua Qingmo, she will definitely not have a good time in Xiao Wangfu, this is also retribution for her, who let her rob her sister's fiancΓ©." β
"Yes, it's her retribution, who let her and me rob Heng Shizi." A trace of heavy hatred crossed Hua Xijin's face, and there was no beauty on the face of the alluring city and the country at this time, and only a distortion born of hatred could be seen.
On the other side, the people in the main hall had already left, and the Xiwang couple left the Ningjun Mansion first, while Situ Heng sent Hua Qingmo back to the North Courtyard. The two of them were a little silent all the way, and when they arrived at Hua Qingmo's room, Situ Heng smiled gently, then held Hua Qingmo's hand and said, "Your sister's business has nothing to do with you, don't blame yourself too much." β
"I'm fine, you need to be relieved." Hua Qingmo smiled gently, and a hint of a smile crossed her eyes. How could she blame herself? Hua Xijin was also facilitated by her.
Situ Heng said a few more words to her and left, entering the room, Hua Qingmo sat on the Luohan bed and placed the box on the low table. Subsequently, Hua Qingmo opened the box, and small brocade boxes were placed inside. Looking at those brocade boxes a little strangely, Hua Qingmo looked directly at them with her ability, and the brocade boxes were full of jewelry, each of which was of extraordinary value, and there was a dark purple crystal bell in the bottom box.
When she saw the bell, Hua Qingmo was stunned for a moment, and then she took out the brocade box with a dark purple rose pattern in the innermost part. opened the brocade box, looked at the bell Hua Qingmo couldn't help laughing, and then she took out the bell that she had brought all the way to the present. The two bells are the same size and texture, and the crystal edges and corners reflect the brilliant light, and the crisp and ethereal sound seems to have an indescribable tranquility.
Looking at the two bells for a moment, Hua Qingmo put them together and put them on her neck. Although it was a little annoying to hear the sound of the bell at first, now that she is used to it, sometimes there is an indescribable calm when she listens to the sound.
Soon, Hua Qingmo's marriage to Situ Heng, and Hua Jijin's marriage to Bai Zixiao spread throughout Lin'an City. Originally, if there were only Hua Qingmo, Hua Xijin and Situ Heng in this matter, at most it would be a Heng Shizi who regretted his marriage, and the people would have passed when they talked about it. And now that a white purple flute was suddenly added, this matter has become the most popular anecdote in Lin'an City and even in the Hua Dynasty.
The people are sympathetic to Hua Xijin, and some people even set up gambling games in various places, and all of them are betting on how long Hua Xijin can live after marrying.
Listening to various folk sayings, Hua Qingmo couldn't help but want to laugh. At this time, a cold wind blew open the window, and Hua Qingmo couldn't help but raise her eyes to look at the somewhat gloomy sky outside, her eyes were slightly gloomy. It's going to be winter in a while, which means she's been here for almost a year. All sorts of things happened throughout the year, and sometimes she wondered if it was a dream of hers. It's just that looking at the room and the people around her, Hua Qingmo knows very well that this is not a dream, this is another reality for her.
The date of her marriage with Situ Heng was set on December 12, which was really a coincidence, and it happened to be the day she became Hua Qingmo last year, that is, Hua Qingmo's birthday. Not only that, Bai Zixiao and Hua Jijin also happened to get married on this day. It is said that this is the best day of the year, and after thinking about it, King Ningjun decided to marry his two daughters on this day. Now, the Ningjun Royal Mansion has been preparing for the marriage, after all, it is less than a month before December 12.
On this day, it was the day when Hua Qingmo went to wait for the princess of the old county. In the early morning, Hua Qingmo wore a rose-purple and red-edged brocade robe and winter coat, and a cloak mixed with rabbit fur sewn. Winter in Lin'an City has always come very early, and in November it is already cold and windy, and everything is withering.
When she arrived at the room of the princess of the old county, a brazier had been lit there, and after Hua Qingmo untied her cloak, she handed it to the acacia on the side. Sitting in front of the old princess's couch, Hua Qingmo helped her cover the silk quilt, and then held the old princess's hand, her eyes sank, and she looked at Su Zhe: "Aunt Zhezhe, grandma's hands are so cold, probably because she has been in bed for a long time, her qi and blood are a little blocked, and Aunt Zhezhe can usually rub her grandmother more, and it is easy to get through the blood." β
"Yes, Lord Qinghe, the minion has written it down." Su Zhe bowed his head slightly, and his voice was low. Then, she brought the bird's nest porridge that she was putting aside and handed it to Hua Qingmo.
Taking the porcelain bowl, Hua Qingmo took a spoon and scooped the porridge, and then began to feed the princess of the old county. These days, the princess of the old county looks at her with a much softer gaze, and from this look, Hua Qingmo can clearly know that the princess of the old county will probably not do anything to herself again. But that's okay, the princess of the old county is also a person who cares about her, and she doesn't want to be heavy on her if it is not necessary.
After feeding the bird's nest porridge, Hua Qingmo asked Su Zhe to take the cotton hand cover of the old princess, and then put the old princess's hands into it. Seeing her so caring, the princess of the old county couldn't help but want to laugh. Except for Hua Qingmo, most of the others were very perfunctory when they waited for them, but she was really serious. Moreover, as time went by, some people had excuses not to come, but Hua Qingmo still came to wait when she was waiting, and stayed all day, never having any impatience.
Seeing her treat herself like this, the princess of the old county's heart still softened, and she was going to get married in a month, so she thought that some things would just pass!
In the evening, Hua Qingmo left after feeding the porridge of the princess of Laojun. The night was a little cooler than the early morning, and Hua Qingmo pulled her cloak and walked towards the north courtyard. When I returned to the north courtyard, as soon as I opened the courtyard door, I found April and Hua Xu walking anxiously in the courtyard, and the two hurriedly greeted Hua Qingmo as soon as they saw it.
"Miss, nine thousand years old and that son are here."
Hearing April's words, Hua Qingmo was stunned for a moment, and then she looked at Hua Range and Hua Yuqing's room, and asked aloud: "Fourth Sister and Range don't know about this!" β
"Miss, don't worry, nine thousand years old, they only came at night, and the fourth young lady and the fifth young master were already in their rooms at that time." Hua Xu knew Hua Qingmo's concerns, and immediately replied.
"In that case, there is nothing important, I will go back to my room first, and you will wait outside." Hua Qingmo pushed the room open, and at a glance saw Wenjing in a moon-white brocade robe and Bai Zixiao in a black python robe, and the two were sitting on both sides of the Luohan bed playing chess at this time.
Hua Qingmo walked over, and then sat next to Bai Zixiao.
Seeing her sitting next to Bai Zixiao, Wen Jing couldn't help but smile, his smile was as quiet as a cloud, he picked up a white piece and landed on the chessboard, and then looked at Hua Qingmo and said: "Qingmo, I haven't seen you for a long time, you are becoming more and more beautiful and moving, and now Heng Shizi thinks that you are not willing to marry you, presumably after the night of the cave room, he will love you even more." β
"Don't laugh at me, if I hadn't thought that something like this might happen, I learned acupuncture, otherwise something really would have happened that day." Hua Qingmo said lightly, looking at the chess game with a quiet gaze. Then, she looked up at Bai Zixiao and asked, "Is there something wrong with Jiuqiansui and Yunjing coming together?" β
"It was I who dragged Zi Xiao to see you, and when I heard that you were going to get married, I made a gift for you." As he spoke, Yunjing took out a dark purple silk from behind him.
Hua Qingmo looked at the silk horse in some surprise, and then took it. After looking closely, she saw that the cloth was woven in proportion to the purple and silver threads, and although she couldn't see anything from a distance, she could see a silver light from a close distance.
"This is the brocade woven by Wen Jing himself, a foot is worth ten thousand gold, he probably admires you very much, otherwise he would never do this with his laziness." Bai Zixiao opened his mouth lightly, and his voice was as indifferent as ever.
