Chapter 147: The Big Wedding
In the sixth year of Xiyuan, on December 25, it is advisable to get married. It is the wedding day of the prince of Dongming and the eldest lady of the Changping Houfu.
The day before yesterday, the makeup day of the Marquis of Changping's Mansion had already made the people who ate melons in Beijing dizzy and talked about it, but they all said that the Shen family's favorite daughter had never seen such a pain in giving up all her wealth, it was really better to see it.
And yesterday's dowry gift from Dongming Wangfu gathered the eyes of the people of the whole city, and the head of the dowry box with big flowers and red silk had arrived at the Hou Mansion of Changrong Lane, and the one at the end was still waiting in line from the front door of the Wang Mansion of Xiangrong Lane.
The people who watched the excitement surrounded a few alleys, and even if they could only watch it, they were as happy as picking up a bargain.
It is said that the ceremony will be performed at dusk, but the newcomers are busy preparing from early in the morning.
No one was used to it for a long time, and before she slept to her usual point, she dragged her up from the warm quilt in the middle of the night, bathed and burned incense, and then went to soak and wash, from the hair to the toes, and rubbed her whole body up and down.
It's the first time I've been forced to have a full set of services, and it's the first time I've stripped naked and washed white in front of so many people, and it's awkward to be anywhere for a long time.
I finally ended this morning bath ceremony, and after three baths, my whole body turned pink. Rujiu, who had long hair and only a white undershirt, was surrounded and returned to the boudoir.
Ruyi Garden has changed its appearance from the inside to the outside, without the simplicity and simplicity of the weekdays, the eyes are full of red seas, and there is a festive atmosphere everywhere.
The people waiting in the house were all Rujiu's elders, and the Quanfu people who were invited by the Jiang family to comb her hair were her sister-in-law, Rujiu's aunt Qin.
When Qin raised his hand to comb carefully for her, there were words in his mouth, "Once combed to the end, the love of husband and wife does not have to worry; The second comb is combed to the end, and the husband and wife are more worry-free without illness; Three combs to the end..."
Jiang Shi, who was watching from the side, smiled and burst into tears, this scene reminded her of the time when she had just gotten married, and now it was her daughter's turn after all the years, and then she somewhat understood why her mother's complicated expression seemed to be happy and reluctant to give up.
"Sister-in-law..."Tian took her hand and patted it gently, but the words of comfort could not be said, even she was so uncomfortable as an aunt, which was even worse for the mother's heart.
"It's okay, I'm just happy." Jiang Shi said as he printed the mark with a handkerchief, and wiped away his tears from the corners of his eyes.
When the hair is combed, all the green silk is pulled up into a bun and married to another woman.
The bridal makeup was not two red butts and a bloody mouth as she had thought before, but a few strokes of green daisy and pink and pink lipstick to lightly apply a gradient of eyeshadow and blush.
In general, looking at the shade of himself in the bronze mirror, Rujiu nodded with satisfaction and breathed a sigh of relief.
It took more than two hours just to coil the hair and makeup, and after the phoenix crown hairpin was ready, the bead curtain in front of the forehead was hung down, and the dress was finally over.
Standing up carefully, the weight on her head made her dare not twist her neck wantonly, and she always felt like she was top-heavy and couldn't get off her feet.
The inner and outer three layers of wedding dresses were put on, and the outer cover was lightly veiled with gold wire, and the skirt was afraid to be more than two feet long.
After today's rare dress, Rujiu, who was already stunningly born, was as beautiful as a fairy, so that the people who were also women next to him couldn't help but be dazzled.
Looking at his daughter who was sitting upright on the edge of the bed, Jiang finished the admonition with tears in his eyes.
Everyone exited the room one after another, leaving only the mother and daughter, and Jiang Shi stepped forward to gently hold her hand, "Jiu'er." ”
Before the words came out, he became choked and couldn't spit out half a word anymore.
Seeing that her eyes were red but she was still holding back tears, she was afraid that she would not touch her moldy head, and a thick sourness suddenly surged in her heart for a long time, "Mother." ”
Finally, I had the first sense of reality for this wedding, and it was different from my own departure from home, because I would always come back.
But when she came back today, she became a coquettish completely.
Is this marriage too rash? Isn't it ridiculous?
She was always resolute, and she suddenly felt a little flustered and uncertain at this moment.
"Mother, if I don't get married, I can stay at home and be an old girl for the rest of my life."
Jiang Shi, who was amused by her childish words, squeezed her palm funny and scolded, "Net will talk nonsense." ”
Knowing that she was worried about herself, Jiang Shi was ironing and even more sad, so she had to desperately suppress the wetness in her eyes, "Mother's little Jiu'er, it seems that in the blink of an eye, she has suddenly grown up to the age of marriage." ”
After sighing, she still remembered the reason for staying, Jiang Shi took out a booklet out of nowhere, I don't know what the material was soft and silky.
There was a red tide on his face, and he was very embarrassed to stuff it into his daughter's hand, and Jiang explained with a wandering gaze, "This is the dowry that your grandmother gave to your mother, and now it has been passed on to you." ”
Feelings are still passed down from generation to generation.
Rujiu looked at the booklet in his hand and had itchy hands to see what this ancient version of the "villain book" was like.
"Wait." As soon as she grasped the hand she wanted to open, Jiang's face burned like fire, although she was already the mother of four children and also became a grandmother, but she still couldn't be calm in front of her daughter, "I'll see it when no one is around." ”
"Oh. All right. Considering the thin skin of the mother, Rujiu nodded obediently in agreement.
……
The auspicious time has arrived, and the people who greet their relatives have begun to set off.
Yu Chenzhi, who was riding a tall horse at the front, was wearing a red robe for the first time, which made his face like a peach blossom and his eyes like autumn water.
The slightly lagging groomsmen, You Jing, Xiao Jinlan and Lou Yue, are all suave and heroic.
Except for Jiusu, the four princes of the capital are all here, and it only makes people who watch the excitement addicted.
The people who sprinkled sugar and copper coins all the way did not feel the slightest stinginess and distress, they were all thrown out with a big hand, and the children who were so happy to grab the joy ran with the team.
When I arrived at the Changping Marquis Mansion, looking at the men of the Shen family wearing uniform purple robes at the gate, Xiao Jinlan laughed and said, "I am afraid that this pomp and circumstance is really powerful, I am afraid that you will be sad at this first level!" ”
When he wanted to marry himself, his three uncles gave him a headache, and when it came to him, he was a full nine, three times~
"Lan Xi, what do you have to gloat? I'm afraid I forgot what we're here for. ”
You Jing's remark reminded Xiao Jinlan to frown fiercely, hey, isn't it? They're all here to get in the way!
"Let's go, just see the move." Lou Yue smiled, today's wedding is a major event for his two confidants and friends, and it should not be missed.
Although he is also a person who knows the inside story, but...
It can't be fake, it can't be fake. I'm afraid that some of these things will become variables.
Turning over and dismounting, Yu Chenzhi led the three of them straight to the gate of the Hou Mansion.
……
Not to mention how the groom's group was made difficult here, the bride on the other end couldn't sit still.
"Hey, Jiu'er, you can't pull the wedding robe, it won't look good if it's wrinkled after a while."
Yan Nanxian took her hand and stopped her, "Bear with me, it's almost auspicious, and the groom has already arrived at the gate." ”
"But don't worry, I'm so hot, it's too uncomfortable."
"Okay, good, I know." Yan Nan worriedly and good-natured comforted his slightly anxious friend, "Right away, and then endure it one last time." ”
Seeing that fine sweat did float on her forehead, Yan Nanxian remembered that she was only wearing a single robe on a cold day in the past, and this wedding dress was really too thick for her.
Ordered someone to bring a fan, Yan Nanwei picked up the fan and gently fanned her, "How is it?" Is it better to do that? ”
Finally felt a little more comfortable, Rujiu nodded, turned slightly sideways and ordered Xiao Zhi on the side, "You go and tell the eldest brother Sheng, let them not be too embarrassed Yu Mutou, I can't sit still!" ”
"Yes, Miss."
From the time she sat in the morning until it was almost dark, her patience had been flashing red lights frequently.
Shen Ruyi, who had just fought with Yu Chenzhi, listened to Xiaozhi's words, and secretly shook his head to himself, there was really nothing he could do with her.
In this way, Ben secretly rubbed the Shen family brothers, who were ready to embarrass someone, and let him pass the test with half a push.
After the newcomer kowtowed goodbye, Shen Ruyi, the eldest brother, picked her up and sent her outside the second gate.
