The queen has not yet returned to the Fengyi Palace. The imperial city has spread all over King Ning's recent wedding.

A prince is about to enter the branch, after all, it is a happy event, but it is to make the queen mother happy. Ning Wang Zhu Pei felt that the congratulations were so fake.

In addition to Zhu Pei's side, Wang Jingshu, who was hiding in the backyard of Fengyi Palace, also congratulated constantly, disturbing her quietly. Knowing that it was Chong Xi, everyone in the palace was coldly waiting for this Princess Ning to make trouble, so they could laugh at the queen again, such as Concubine Rong. It's a pity that this troublesome scene is destined to be unseen, and Wang Jingshu just accepts it silently.

She is the definitive Princess Ning, and the royal family has the final say on when she gets married, but she will not make trouble for the sake of happiness.

It's all about taking it in stride.

But after all, she was a little worried that Wang Mansion would get the news, but she was afraid that she would be busy in a mess.

"No, you should go back to Wang's Mansion first. I will send you out of the palace and back to Wang's mansion. Zhu Yuan knows that the bride who is about to get married has a lot of things to do, and it is easy to make jokes if she continues to stay in her mother-in-law's house for a long time, and she is not good at staying, "The incident happened suddenly, and you may need to explain it yourself in the mansion." Please, please, Wangfu puts the overall situation first. It was extremely difficult for her to speak, and she was originally preparing for a grand wedding, but suddenly changed everything to simplicity, plus the joy component, I hope that Wangfu will not make trouble.

The meaning of Zhu Yuan's words, Wang Jingshu is not clear. She smiled, and there was a hint of pain and helplessness in her smile, "This is God's grace." ”

The emperor's will, whether it is good or bad, is a blessing from heaven for the courtiers.

Zhu Yuan wanted to persuade and didn't know where to start, so he turned his head and asked the palace people to prepare a carriage outside the imperial city, and sent Wang Jingshu home with the female official of Fengyi Palace.

Wang Jingshu returned home in a carriage, just landed, and before entering the mansion, he saw Qian Shanggong entering from the main gate of Wang's mansion. Qian Shanggong must have come to Wang's Mansion at this moment to inform the marriage date.

She entered through the corner door and walked quickly to the main hall, where Qian Shanggong was reading out the marriage date with the marriage certificate.

——After the selection of the Shang Palace Bureau, the wedding day of King Ning and Princess Wang is scheduled for the twenty-sixth day of the sixth month of the leap month, which is auspicious and suitable for everything.

Twenty-six?

It is now the eighteenth day of leap June.

The divorce period is less than 10 days.

The whole house was shocked.

Qian Shanggong saw Wang Jingshu coming, personally handed over the marriage book, and faced Wang Da again, "Lord Wang, the emperor said that the wedding date is approaching, if the Wang Mansion is not ready, you can get married first, and then send the dowry and other things to the imperial city later." ”

Marry first and then give a dowry? How can there be such a thing in the world? Isn't it a joke?

Wang Fu should also send his daughter out of the pavilion with ten miles of red makeup.

No matter how urgent you are, you must prepare all the dowries, so as not to add to people's jokes and lose face.

It's just that Wanda doesn't understand, why is the wedding date so close? What really happened in the palace?

Even though he was full of doubts, he could only respond after all, "Please also ask Lord Shanggong to return to the palace, and the Wang Mansion will be ready as scheduled." ”

"Yes, Lord Wang." Although Qian Shanggong was honored as an adult, she didn't dare to take it in Wang's mansion, "Then, Weichen still has important matters, so go back to the palace first." ”

Wang Da ordered his eldest son Wang Huizhi to send Qian Shanggong out.

As soon as Qian Shanggong left, Wang Da couldn't wait to ask Wang Jingshu, could something happen in the palace?

Wang Jingshu held the marriage book in her hand, like a hot potato, and asked her to put it or take it. In the face of his father's inquiry, there was no one in the four weeks, so he said the truth, "The queen mother in the palace is seriously ill, and Si Tianjian said that there is no happy event in the palace." Therefore, Concubine Rong proposed to ask me to marry King Ning as soon as possible, but the queen's objection was useless. The emperor said that he had to do it. ”

A few simple words made Han's heart sink on the side, and she looked quite like a folk chongxi. This Chongxi bride, if Chong Xichong is good, he naturally has everything. If Chong Xichong is not good, then there is nothing left, and there will never be a place in the in-law's family.

This royal is intricate, with a set of surfaces and a set of secrets, who knows if the emperor is really looking forward to the health of the Queen Mother? This time I married Chong Xi, isn't it better to have two ends?

Seeing that Wang Da didn't react, the atmosphere was a little strange, so she opened her mouth to ease, "The days are numbered, it's time for the Wang Mansion to get busy." Our eldest girl is getting married, so she should inform her relatives. Master, send a message to the north and post a post. ”

Regardless of which girl is married, it is necessary to inform all relatives of each party. Although the royal said that the marriage was simple. But the number of courtesies for this banquet is indispensable for the Wang family.

Wang Da was a little depressed, but seeing that Wang Jingshu had no sorrow or joy, he cheered up as if he was holding back something, and made a final decision, "Now that the marriage of the eldest girl in the house is approaching, everyone should be careful with their spirits." Everywhere ushered in and sent, etiquette rules, banquet guests should be thoughtful, and even all the dowry objects must be carefully prepared and placed. ”

As soon as he gave an order, the entire Wang Mansion was busy, and the Han family deliberately divided the work and sent jobs to several sons and daughters-in-law, and most of the errand work in the front was assigned to the third son Wang Luzhi and the fourth son Wang Fuzhi, who were relatively idle in the house, and most of the work in the back house was for herself and her eldest daughter-in-law Su Zhimei. The second daughter-in-law, You Shiyuan, also wanted to help, but in the end, she was widowed, and she was afraid that it would be unlucky if she helped for such a happy event of her son's marriage.

And the bride to be married, Wang Jingshu, also has to go to the main hall to entertain guests during the day, and those elders received posts from Wangfu, and most of them came to Wangfu to congratulate her. She should always greet her, with the whole Wang Mansion courtesy.

And at night, she also has embroidery work to do, and the embroidery lady in the house took most of the embroidery work, but she has to do some of the things she has to do herself, and she can't fake it. However, the time is tight, and the task seems heavy, which dilutes her sorrow. The closer she gets to home, the more she panics, and she can't talk about this kind of sorrow, and she doesn't know who to complain to?

Anyway, the past few days have passed quite quickly.

Soon it was the eve of the wedding, and all the dowries had been laid out in the empty courtyard, a total of one hundred and eight lifts.

Han specially inquired about the dowry of the two princesses in front of him, and only then after discussing it set one hundred and eight raises, which was ten raises worse than the previous two princesses, he didn't want to be too different, and this Wang Mansion was not unable to afford ten dowries. But now that the queen mother in the palace is seriously ill, the Wang Mansion is not easy to be extravagant.

During the day, the bride's house showed her dowry, and many people came to watch. The three boxes of treasures and jades in the dowry list attracted everyone's applause, and they even claimed that Princess Ning's dowry was a lot of good things. Wang Da listened to the discussion and thought in his heart, although there were ten dowries missing in the house, it would not let Wang Jingshu be looked down upon by other concubines. In this way, he can also feel a little more at ease.

And the night is quiet, only the entire Wang Mansion is full of lights, this is specially ordered by Wangda, this night is probably the last night Wang Jingshu spent in Wang's house, may this lamp illuminate the future.

Wang Jingshu put down the embroidery needle, let the dyed cigarette put away the embroidery and put it in the cage, tasted the tea, the warm tea entered her mouth, and her throat was a little comfortable. These days are day and night, and she is almost exhausted. It was cold at night, and I didn't add clothes in time the night before, and I almost got a cold, so it's not good if I get sick.

She walked to the window, "Tonight there are full of lamps outside, as beautiful as lanterns on the night of the Lantern Festival, and those little maids can't sleep happily and run to see the lights." Why, aren't you going? ”

Tonight is destined to be sleepless, Close.

"I'm going to accompany the big girl."

"We're all with the big girl."

None of the maids in the entire garden ran to see the lights tonight, and all gathered in the house to wait. They knew that the girl who treated them so well tomorrow was going to get married, and there were very few opportunities to see each other in the future.

People are not plants and trees, who can be ruthless? Even if it is a maid who serves people, at this moment, there is a lot of reluctance in my heart.

Wang Jingshu looked at the beautiful moonlight outside the window, thinking that tomorrow would be a good weather, but she smiled sadly, "I have entrusted my sister-in-law, you will all have a good place to go in the future, and I will have a new place to go." This night, she missed her mother, if her mother was there, her daughter would not be so cold on the eve of her marriage.

Wang's Mansion has never been the destination of her daughter's family, for her, Ning Wang's Mansion is the final destination, but what kind of destination is it that is at a loss and can't see the light?

She didn't know, she didn't want to know, and she didn't dare to know. Sadness is always like this, suddenly.

"Girl, it's time to rest. Early tomorrow morning, Xi Po will come to put on your makeup and comb your hair. ”

Originally, combing her hair was her mother's business, but Wang Jingshu's biological mother had passed away, and the rest of the female elders either had no orders and were afraid that they were not qualified enough, or their children were not all afraid of bad luck, so they had to ask Mrs. Zhang, who had both orders and children, to comb Wang Jingshu's hair on behalf of Xi Po.

Wang Jingshu was indifferent, "Where can I sleep today." ”

Dye Smoke was silent, and did not persuade further. He waved away all the maids, and told them to go down and wait for orders.

The maids rushed out, and the room was quiet all of a sudden.

"I once saw my cousin get married, and that night my aunt was so sad that she couldn't stop crying. Smoke, you say, if my mother is here, will she cry? ”

I guess it will.

Only then did I understand that the girl missed her mother, so she couldn't help but comfort: "Girl...... In fact, Lord Wang is reluctant to let you go, he also has a lot of things to say to you, but he is a big man, because of the rules and etiquette, he can't enter the garden to talk to you. His mind, as you should know, the dowry is the best. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a dead silence in the room.

The master didn't speak, and she didn't dare to speak again when she was smoking, and she couldn't persuade her again, she couldn't guess the girl's thoughts.

"From tomorrow, you should all call me, princess."

Since Wang Jingshu chose the maids and grandmothers to bring into the palace, they have begun to accept the etiquette in the palace. Now that the smoke is already very good at something, he immediately saluted, "Please princess Niangniang." ”

It also eased the atmosphere.

Subsequently, the master and servant talked and laughed, which eased a trace of sorrow in Wang Jingshu's heart, and the hour passed quickly.

As soon as the sky was slightly bright, Jingyuan ushered in four girls, who were the bride's bridesmaids. Qin Manying, Wang Lingyi, Zhou Chuyu, Xia Zhiqiao, they were dressed very festively. Originally, Wang Jingshu wanted to invite her sister-in-law Wang Jingmiao to join her, but others said that she had calculated her relatives like that and she had other things to do, so she couldn't be a bridesmaid anymore, so she only chose four bridesmaids.

Wang Jingshu hurriedly instructed the maid to pour hot tea, "I told you not to be so early, why did you come so early?" It was deeper and heavier, and it was still very cold. ”

In the bridesmaid pile, Qin Manying was more intimate with Wang Jingshu, she always had something to say, "In this way, your bride is not in a hurry, but we are in a hurry?" ”

"My cousin is married, of course she is not in a hurry," Wang Lingyi deliberately teased, "The one who is in a hurry must be the groom's official." It means King Ning.

Wang Jingshu glared at her pretendedly, "Begging for a beating, you should be beaten!" Sisters haven't seen her for so long, you are upside down, hurry up," glanced at Qin Manying, "Let your brother immediately hire her, so as not to make her talk nonsense without shame." ”

Qin Manying immediately smiled with Xia Zhiqiao. The Qin family intends to marry the Wang family in the north, it is Wang Lingyi, she went to Beijing this time, thinking of taking advantage of her cousin's marriage to meet the son of the Qin family. This time she saw Shang Ke, Wang Jingshu made fun of her.

Sure enough, Wang Lingyi immediately blushed, "Hugh wants to talk about me." "Pull Zhou Chu's words," my cousin said that it would be good to talk about Miss Zhou. ”

Zhou Chuyu was not familiar with them, and her parents died under the fence, so she must not be among the princesses' bridesmaids. She is not the only good girl in Kyoto, but the Feng family received a bridesmaid post, saying that the princess designated the Feng family's cousin to be a bridesmaid. This is really a strange thing, and later the Feng family inquired about it and suddenly realized that it was the Wang family who deliberately decided her family business for their third son. My grandmother said it was a good thing.

The princess deliberately facilitated it, so she was asked to be a bridesmaid.

This time she came to the right place, and she got along very happily with these girls, "What the princess said about you, why did you pull my head, I'm still young." "She's only been filial for three months.

Wang Lingyi immediately pouted, unhappy.

The crowd laughed again.

The sky gradually brightened, and the whole Wang Mansion became lively, with people coming and going, and an endless stream of congratulations. And Mrs. Xi Po Zhang was respectfully invited into the garden by Su Zhimei, which can comb the princess's makeup and hair, which is a good thing for Mrs. Zhang, she is very happy and has a very friendly attitude.

Wang Jingshu changed into a princess-grade wedding dress, which she embroidered herself. The red is like fire, embroidered with various colored flowers, meaning auspiciousness. And the phoenix crown given by the Queen Mother was put into the cage by her to prepare to marry back.

This is followed by a combing of the hair.

"Comb to the end."

"Two combs of white hair and eyebrows."

"Three combs are full of descendants."

……

Words that conveyed good wishes popped out of Mrs. Zhang's mouth. The ladies and elders of the Wang Mansion gathered in the room, smiling and watching Wang Jingshu's long black hair combed into a woman's bun little by little, as if watching her grow up and then get married, this mood was both joyful and a little emotional.

Time slipped away. Combed his hair, wore hairpins, hairpins, jewelry, and earrings, the same thing, and couldn't go wrong in the slightest.

Then apply makeup yourself, apply rouge, and wipe lipstick.

Then the female elders stepped forward to explain a few words, a few words of blessing, and a few words of politeness.

On this great day, I will pick some good ones to say.

Wang Jingshu only sat there like a puppet, unable to move, cry or laugh, and could only listen quietly to the greetings, whether sincere or false...... After all, who knows.

Until the outside shouted, "The welcoming party is coming—"

Then, the bride came to report, "The auspicious time is coming, please get on the sedan chair." ”

The bride has no biological mother, and she is the eldest sister-in-law, and the one who covers the red hijab should be her sister-in-law Su Zhimei. My sister-in-law has been together for a few years and is not completely emotionless, Su Zhimei endured the tears in her eyes, took the red hijab from the hand of the bride, and covered the red hijab for Wang Jingshu, and from then on the sister-in-law will marry a woman, "The bride has covered the red hijab, and from then on it will be sweet and sweet, prosperous, and satisfying." ”

Later, Wang Jingmiao, as a sister-in-law, sent the night pearl and stuffed it into the bride's hand, "The bride holds the pearl in her hand, and from then on, the husband and wife are in love, and the love is more than the pearl, shining brightly." ”

This is the custom of the Xing Dynasty, and the bride wants to marry with a pearl in her hand. And the Wang Mansion is a big family, so they prepared a night pearl for Wang Jingshu and asked her to carry it into the cave room.

If the relationship between husband and wife is like a pearl, it will always shine and last forever, it will be the best blessing.

After a while, Wang Huizhi and Wang Luzhi stood at the door of the house together, bowing their hands to greet them, "Please be safe with the princess." "As the bride's brother and brother, they are to support the bride and send her into the sedan chair.

Wang Jingshu, who could only see her favorite shoes, opened her lips at this time, "No need to be polite." ”

The two brothers hugged the bride, the yellow cover covered the top of her head, and entered the sedan chair, "The bride is on the sedan chair, and everything is safe and smooth from now on, the children and grandchildren are full, and the blessings and longevity are complete." ”

The auspicious time has arrived—

Pick up the car——

The sedan chair left Jingyuan and left Wang's mansion.

Sitting on the sideways Wang Jingshu tilted her head to listen to the noise outside, faintly, the sound of a basin of water splashing on the ground. It was the water spilled by the married daughter.

Gradually, only blowing and blowing all the way to the imperial city.
