Chapter 53: Harmony (1)
The weather was sunny and the spring breeze was warm.
On this day, Cheng's house opened the main gate early in the morning.
and the ceremony, which means that the girl grows up and can talk about marriage. For the boudoir girl, this is one of the most important days of her life.
Cheng Jinrong got up early to shower, change clothes and make up.
On the day of the ceremony, you have to comb your hair and change your clothes three times, and there are many cumbersome things that need to be paid attention to. The Zhao family specially invited Lin Niangzi, who is the most famous in the capital who is good at grooming, to come.
Lin Niangzi often goes in and out of the inner courtyard of the deep house, and is used to seeing well-pampered boudoir girls. From the critical eye of Lin Niangzi, Cheng Jinrong's appearance is also outstanding.
While combing her makeup, Lin Niangzi praised with a smile: "Miss Cheng's long hair is black and shiny, and she is very well raised. And this skin, so tender that it is almost out of the water......"
Cheng Jinrong smiled casually, not showing a fluttering joy.
Lin Niangzi was quite knowledgeable, and seeing that Cheng Jinrong didn't want to say much, she quickly stopped her mouth and concentrated on grooming Cheng Jinrong.
A fifteen-year-old girl with fair and delicate skin, eyes as black as jewels, and red lips as smooth as flower petals. No matter how good the rouge is, it can't make up such beauty.
Lin Niangzi only applied a thin layer of fat powder to Cheng Jinrong, and she was already bright.
Cheng Jinrong sat on the edge of the bed, raised his eyes, and smiled slightly.
Cheng Jinyi held his heart in his hands, his eyes were full of longing and envy: "Cousin Rong, you are really beautiful today!" ”
Cheng Jinrong said with a smile: "When you are in time for next year, you will be just as beautiful!" ”
Girls, there is no one who doesn't love beauty. Cheng Jinyi is not as beautiful as Cheng Jinrong, but she is also a little beauty with clear eyebrows. Hearing this, he smiled sweetly with yearning.
Looking at Cheng Jinyi's smile, Cheng Jinrong was a little embarrassed.
Although she is young on the outside, her heart has gone through vicissitudes. It's hard to have such a simple joy as Cheng Jinyi.
Today is her salute. Her mother was trapped in the palace, and her father was at the border, but he was not by her side. Fortunately, there are uncles and aunts, as well as two cousins and cute little cousins.
……
On the day of the ceremony, most of the female dependents come to watch the ceremony. Only the men closest to them will come.
The in-laws of the Cheng family are old, and Cheng Fang's colleagues and friends all came to congratulate them one by one. The female dependents of the Yong'an Hou Mansion came to the door early.
Mrs. Yong'an Hou has a noble status and is the aunt of Cheng Jinrong's relatives. Zhao couldn't afford to slack off, so he greeted him in person with a smile: "Madame, please." ”
After being carefully dressed, Mrs. Yong'an Hou is reserved and elegant. Behind him was the fifth miss Pei Xiu, the sixth miss Pei Ying. There are more than ten maids.
Mrs. Yong'an Hou said with a smile: "Master Hou also planned to come. It's just that unfortunately, early in the morning, the emperor issued an edict and summoned the marquis into the palace to discuss matters. I don't know when I will be able to finish my government affairs, but I'm afraid I won't be able to watch the ceremony in time. ”
In the words, there is a hint of self-satisfaction.
Pingguo Gong holds heavy troops and sits at the border. Wei Guogong is the secretary of the military department, and he is in a high position. Yong'an Hou is indeed inferior to the two of them. However, the rest of the Yasukuni Gong Jin Ninghou and others have gradually been suppressed by Yong'an Hou.
Zhao smiled and praised two sentences: "Hou Ye is the pillar of the country, and he is highly valued by the emperor." ”
In terms of the ability to lead the army to fight, Yong'an Hou Peiqin is not ranked among the generals at all. However, the Pei family was lucky and had a Queen Pei. Yong'an Hou also won the trust of the Son of Heaven because of his work from the dragon.
Whether convinced or not, it is an indisputable fact that the tide of Yong'an Houfu rises.
On the day when the second prince is established as the prince, the Pei family may become the first noble family of Great Chu.
Pei Zhang is a young and promising young man with good looks and good character. Cheng Jinrong married into the Pei family, and she is the wife of Yong'an Hou Shizi. Such a good family affair is in front of him, even if Mrs. Yong'an Hou has a hateful face, the Zhao family silently endures it.
Mrs. Yong'an Hou was depressed for a few days, and today she raised her eyebrows and exhaled, and her depression was swept away. Laughing into the house.
Pei Xiu and Pei Ying followed.
Everyone saw Cheng Jinrong at a glance.
Lightly sweep the fat powder for a more radiant glow. The eyes are shining, and the demeanor is outstanding.
Mrs. Yong'an Hou also had to admit that Cheng Jinrong's eyebrows and eyes were like Cheng Wang, and she was more beautiful than Pei Wanru when she was young. It's no wonder that the young and hot-blooded Pei Zhang was stunned, and he opened his mouth to say that she would not marry.
Cheng Jinrong got up and saluted: "Jinrong has seen my uncle." ”
Mrs. Yong'an Hou stepped forward affectionately and held Cheng Jinrong's hand: "Hurry up and be polite." I haven't seen him for a few days, why did I see my aunt outside? Sit down and talk. ”
Cheng Jinrong responded with a smile, and after sitting down, he quietly withdrew his hand.
Pei Xiu's heart was so sour that she was bubbling, and she had to squeeze out a warm smile: "Cousin Rong, you are so beautiful today." ”
Cheng Jinrong glanced at Pei Xiu, who had a pantothenic tone, and said with a leisurely smile: "In two months, it will be your ceremony." When the time comes, I will definitely dress modestly, so as not to steal the limelight from you. ”
Pei Xiu: "......"
Everyone was amused by Cheng Jinrong's promotion, but Pei Xiu had a pretty face.
At this moment, a maid came to report: "Mrs. Qiyu, Mrs. Weiguo is here." ”
……
Cheng Jinghong treated Jiang Liu's leg injury, and the Weiguo Mansion had a very good impression of Cheng Jinghong. Miss Jiang Er once opened her mouth to come to watch the ceremony, and today she came with Mrs. Wei Guogong, which was also expected by Cheng Jinrong.
Miss Jiang Er deliberately wore a bright goose yellow Luo skirt today, with her long hair half-pulled and a white jade hibiscus hairpin on the side of her hair. It is more and more set off her graceful temperament and bright complexion.
When they meet each other, they have their own greetings and liveliness, and gossip is not mentioned for the time being.
"Second Sister Jiang," Cheng Jinrong shouted with a smile, "I didn't expect you to really come today." ”
Miss Jiang Er pursed her lips and smiled: "Today is your salute, of course I want to come." Then, he personally presented a congratulatory gift: "This is Hepu Zhu." The larger ones are made of beads, and the smaller ones are made of bead chains, which are all very suitable. ”
The small brocade box is filled with pearls. They are large and round, shining brightly. At a glance, you can see that it is not ordinary.
To be honest, although they have met a few times, they are not familiar with each other.
Why is Miss Jiang Er so close to her? And gave such a big gift?
Cheng Jinrong was surprised in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face. instructed Zisu to accept the congratulatory gift, and thanked him with a smile: "Thank you, Second Sister Jiang." ”
The Zhao family on the side was also a little surprised, and quickly glanced at Miss Jiang Er.
Miss Jiang Er smiled and stood there prettyly.
Born in a famous family, with bright appearance, outstanding upbringing, and generous.
What a good girl!
It's because everything is too outstanding. The Cheng family, which can be regarded as a family of middle-class officials, how can they marry such a daughter-in-law?
Zhao secretly regretted in his heart, and quickly put this casual thought behind him.
Soon, another distinguished guest arrived.
"Mrs. Qiyu," Guizhi, the maid who came to deliver the message, was a little excited: "Mrs. Tai of the Pingguo Mansion is here." ”
