Chapter 1227: Jiao Ring
On the day of the wedding, Xie Mulin got up early.
She had slept well the night before, was in good spirits, and looked good. After eating some breakfast, she washed her hands and face and rinsed her mouth, and Xiang Tao took green oranges to comb her hair and makeup. After practicing for a whole month in advance, the skills of the two big girls have increased now, and it only took half an hour to get Xie Mulin's Yanju makeup and hair.
Of course, this is just Yanju makeup and hair, and the whole is quite simple. Xie Mulin still had a ceremony to go on at her mother's house, and she didn't need to wear the heavy princess crown dress for the time being, which made her somewhat relieved.
After the makeup was finished, she sat by the kang in her room and waited. She still has to wait for her parents' notice before she can go to the front yard to perform the pre-marriage ceremony. However, Wen had already made arrangements in the front yard a day in advance, and I believe that this process will not take too long.
It's a pity that the Yan Wangfu sent a few male and female deacons to help with the ceremony yesterday, and the rules are quite strict, so the four brothers and two younger sisters can't come over to accompany Xie Mulin through this waiting time, which makes her feel a little bored. However, the four girls of Peach and Green Orange, as well as Little Peach and Little Orange, were a little uncontrollable excited, looking at their expressions, Xie Mulin also felt quite interesting.
It didn't take long for a deacon to come and deliver a message, inviting Xie Mulin to the front yard to pay homage to her ancestors.
This mansion is Xie Pu's official residence, not an ancestral house, and naturally there is no special ancestral hall. On weekdays, the people of their family set up a small Buddhist hall next to the upper room of the main courtyard to worship the tablets of the ancestors. Now that the daughter of the family is going to marry into the palace, if this small Buddha hall is still used as the ancestral hall, it will inevitably seem a little shabby, so today the Wen family moved the Buddha hall to the location of the flower hall in the front yard, according to the customs of Huzhou, with the highest configuration of etiquette to enshrine the tablets of the ancestors of the Xie family. And because Xie Mulin is the granddaughter of the second room, the tablet of the late Xie Er's old lady Xie Zechuan is placed in the middle position, and the tablet of his grandfather Xie Zehu has to be moved to the side.
Xie Pu was dressed in the official uniform of a political envoy, and the Wen family also wore a full set of second-grade edict uniforms, and even the heir grandmother Song and Mrs. Xie also wore their own edict or edict uniforms. This is probably the first time that Mrs. Xie has overwhelmed the Song family in the crown dress rank, but the tablet of the Song family's husband was placed in the right position, and the son and daughter-in-law and others took it for granted, and the old lady Xie was holding her breath in her heart, but she didn't dare to attack in front of the deacons of the Yanwang Mansion, so she had to be depressed, and she couldn't take care of the useless idleness of arguing with the concubine for the time being.
Xie Pu probably didn't find out what was going on with his biological mother, so he only followed the etiquette and took his wife Wen and daughter Xie Mulin to kneel in front of the ancestors' tablet to bow down, offer wine, and read blessings. After the ceremony, Xie Pu and Wen returned to the main hall of the main courtyard, and a deacony served wine and food for Xie Mulin to enjoy.
said that it was wine and food, but it actually meant something, and it didn't really let Xie Mulin eat and drink in front of everyone at this time. The wine is fruit wine, the degree is very shallow, Xie Mulin also drinks some on weekdays, and a glass is just a small meaning. As for the food, it is a few plates of food prepared according to the ancient rites, dried meat or something, which is rare on weekdays. Xie Mulin took two chopsticks and ate it, only feeling salty, salty and sweet, the taste was average, but it was better than no soup and no water, no peculiar smell, and no stuffing between his teeth or anything, which was very suitable for doing things in this kind of formal ceremony.
When she had finished eating and drinking, the deacon withdrew with a tray, and then another deacon, who led her to the main hall of the main courtyard to bid farewell to her parents.
Usually in such occasions, there are rules for what parents should say. Xie Pu instructed his daughter according to the rules at first: "Go to the palace, be diligent and cautious all night, and do not violate filial piety." Just as he spoke, his eyes turned a little red.
Wen also followed the rules that he had memorized in advance, and then instructed: "Your father has training, and you should be respectful." After saying that, tears came silently.
Xie Mulin replied according to the rules: "The little girl listens to her father's words. After finishing speaking, looking at her parents' reluctant expressions, she couldn't help but speak again, "My daughter is getting married, my father and mother take care of their bodies, don't worry about their daughter." The daughter will take care of herself and live a good life. ”
Wen's tears fell even more fiercely, and he couldn't say anything when he covered his mouth, only nodded vigorously.
Xie Pu's eyes were red, and there were faint tears in his eyes, but he could still smile and nod to his daughter.
Although he has been in office for many years, he rarely gets together with his children, since the birth of his second daughter, except for the year after the house was copied, he got along with the children for two months, that is, last autumn and winter, his mother took the children to the north, until today, he and his children have had more than half a year of reunion, but his love for his own flesh and blood is no less than others. Especially the children of Xie Jinzhi and Xie Mulin, they are born from him and his beloved wife, which has a different meaning than other children. Now that her daughter is older, she is going to get married, and from now on she will be from another family. Even if he knows that this is a good family business, Zhu Rui is also a reliable and good son-in-law, whether it is a general's concubine or a nobleman in the palace, he has never changed his nature, but his daughter has left home since then, and he still has some bad feelings in his heart.
At this moment, he can't do anything more than bless his daughter.
The deaconess stepped forward to help Xie Mulin with tears in her eyes, and then she had several relatives to say goodbye. The time of the ceremonies had already been set on the Yan Wang's Mansion, and the newcomers had a lot to do, and they really couldn't leave her more time to deal with her personal emotions.
——————
Fortunately, Xie Mulin's sadness was quickly suppressed. Yan Wang's Mansion is very close to the Xie family's official residence, and she can often see her parents and relatives in the future, so she doesn't need to be too out of shape.
The first person she saluted next was her grandmother Song.
Song smiled and took her hand lightly, smiled and nodded: "Good boy, I wish you all the best in this trip, don't forget what I told you yesterday." ”
Xie Mulin understood and bowed solemnly: "Grandmother rest assured, her granddaughter will remember it." ”
Last night, Song specially asked her to invite her to her room and made her last instruction before getting married.
Song didn't want to wish her a happy marriage or anything, but persuaded her that young couples have deep feelings and love each other, which is a good thing, but if it is a long time in the future, she should not be too angry or disappointed. She married into the palace, although she is Gao Pan, but the Xie family is also the family of Jiangnan scholars and eunuchs, she is the cherished daughter of the Xie family, you don't have to be arrogant, don't think too low of yourself, and cherish yourself.
The royal mansion of the clan is not ordinary people, as long as she does not make a big mistake, no one can abandon her. Even if her husband's affection is no longer there, she can live her own life. Just one thing she had to remember. She is a girl who has been taught by her grandmother and her own mother since she was a child, she is upright and knowledgeable, no matter how much anger she has in her heart, she cannot change her nature and do things that go against her parents' teachings. Once she loses her heart and is no longer on the right path, then she is no longer herself. That's the saddest thing.
Song persuaded her to read more in her spare time, learn more things, and enrich herself. Even if you are busy taking care of your in-laws, husband and son after marriage, you can't forget to study, and you just blindly immerse yourself in housework.
Life is still very long, she doesn't have to worry about temporary gains and losses, and can deal with all the ups and downs in life with a more calm attitude.
