Chapter 206: Keeping the Festival
With such promises, Li Jingshan and Ruan Mingyu entered the lobby of Ruan's house hand in hand, and the noisy gongs and drums and suona announced the new life she was about to start. Rao is that she has lived two lives, and this is the first time she has been married, so she is inevitably nervous, and the red silk she holds in her hand becomes wet and slippery.
After the ceremony was finished, she was helped into the cave room by the maids, and the groom was to stay outside to entertain the guests, until the guests dispersed, which was the time of spring supper for the two of them, if the groom had not been drunk by then.
Li Jingshan sat alone in the wedding room, taking advantage of no one, to remove the hijab for ventilation. She looked at the red in the room, and the warm color made her heart feel reassured, and the unreal feeling dissipated.
With her own strength, she finally won a place in the Nguyen family, a family of jewelers, as a royal designer! This is the capital she has in the Ruan family, and she can't get it for a dowry. She sat quietly between the futons embroidered with mandarin ducks and Tilian, and a quiet smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
The candles burning on the high platform became shorter little by little, and the noise outside never stopped. Li Jingshan was hungry when she waited. Finally, after hearing her stomach growl, she decisively walked to the snack box by the table and sat down.
She ate two pieces of mung bean cake, drank a cup of hot tea, and was about to take another piece of red bean cake, when the door was pushed open, and the big maid Agate next to Mrs. Ruan came into the room with two maids.
"The lady and the young master are still entertaining guests in the front hall, so let's come over and accompany the young grandmother first." Onyx walked over with a smile and asked the maid behind him to take out the food box.
Onyx personally took out the covered bowl inside and put it in front of him, "Madame estimated that you had been busy all day and were already hungry, so she asked the kitchen to make a bowl of shredded chicken noodles and pad your stomach first." ”
The lid is untied, and the heat hits the nose with a rich aroma, revealing a bowl of chicken noodle soup underneath. The chicken broth is fragrant, the noodles are smooth, and there are shredded shiitake mushrooms, shredded tofu and finely chopped cabbage on top, which makes people appetize when they look at it.
Li Jingshan thanked her and ate unceremoniously.
Onyx smiled kindly, said "use slowly", and turned to greet the girl who brought it, "You hurry up and spread the 'festival towel' on the wedding bed, don't delay." Also, you'll have to be careful tonight. ”
Li Jingshan's hand holding the bowl was put down.
She knew that the "festival scarf" was a white cloth towel spread on the marriage bed, just to verify whether the bride was red on the wedding night. This is an ancient marriage custom, but it is not that the Ruan family is specifically targeting her. However, she looked at the red bedding on the bed, imagining the blinding whiteness on it, and still lost her appetite.
And she can foresee, because she was captured by the mountain bandits, tomorrow morning, I don't know how many pairs of eyes, with various moods staring at the white scarf. Even the Spring Festival with her and Ruan Mingyu lost their sense of privacy.
She picked two noodles and finally put down her chopsticks.
Seeing her put down the bowl, Onyx asked with concern, "Isn't it unappetizing for young grandma to eat so little?" ”
Li Jingshan smiled reluctantly, "I just ate two pieces of dim sum, and now I can't eat them." ”
Onyx asked someone to collect the food box and ordered the girls to guard outside, before approaching Li Jingshan and whispering, "Madame can't pull away from the front hall, so I have to order me to bring this to you quietly." I don't know if I need it, but I just have it. ”
She pulled out a small wooden box and handed it over.
Li Jingshan opened it suspiciously, but saw that it was a fish swim bladder containing a small bag of blood.
Seeing that her face was full of puzzlement, Onyx smiled and said: "It is chicken blood in it, if the young grandmother uses it, she only needs to use the hairpin to puncture this fish bubble and let the blood fall on the 'festival towel', and it will be." I'll come over tomorrow and take care of the box. ”
Li Jingshan was stunned. It turned out to be Mrs. Ruan's thoughtful and thoughtful move prepared for her.
Onyx held Li Jingshan's hand and patted it gently, and said gently: "Third young grandmother, I hope you don't blame Madame for being nosy." You married into the Ruan family with your own ability, but how many pairs of eyes are staring at you. It's better for us to have more than less, and it's good to shut the mouths of those who watch the excitement as soon as possible. ”
Li Jingshan held Onyx's hand with her backhand and said sincerely: "Thank you, Sister Onyx." It's inconvenient tonight, please tell your mother-in-law that your daughter-in-law will thank you in person tomorrow. ”
Onyx responded with a smile, chatted with her a few more words, and looked at the time before exiting the happy room. Sure enough, after a while, there was a commotion outside the door, and everyone finally sent the groom into the cave room.
However, Ruan Mingyu was actually drunk and was helped into the door by Ruan Shu and Ruan Mo.
"The young master is now proud of the spring breeze in the capital, whether it is a guest in the clan or in the business field, they all come to toast, and they are all figures with heads and faces in the Jingli Palace, but they can't be pushed."
The two little guys helped their young master to the bed, Ruan Mo hurriedly went out to fetch water, Ruan Shu spread his hands and accompanied the smiling face, "So you see...... Well, I have to grieve the third young grandmother tonight. ”
Li Jingshan looked at the drunken cat-like groom official, sighed in her heart, and still had to maintain a calm smile on her face, "It's okay, leave it to me here." You've been busy all day, so let's go down and rest. ”
Tonight is the young master's newlywed, Ruan Shu and Ruan Mo are not good to stay for too long, and when they heard this, they put down the hot water and said, "Let's rest in the side room." Young grandma has something to do, just command. ”
When only the couple was left in the house, Li Jingshan wrung a hot towel to wipe Ruan Mingyu's face. Fingers tracing his delicate eyebrows and eyes, Li Jingshan remembered that many years ago, when he was a maid in Young Master Ruan's house in the Minzhou Courtyard, he served him drunk for the first time.
That was the first time she knew that she was attracted to the young master. After many years, his wedding night is still serving him who is drunk. Li Jingshan thought it was funny, is this called the reincarnation of the world?
She served Ruan Mingyu well, and was about to lie down next to him, when she looked down and saw the white "festival scarf", her body stiffened, and she stopped moving. If the mother-in-law who comes in to clean up tomorrow sees the white "festival towel", what kind of wonderful expression should be on her face.
Li Jingshan took out the small wooden box and looked at the small packet of bright red chicken blood. With a faint fishy smell of fowl. As long as you stab it lightly with a hairpin, you can gag the mouths of those who love to watch the excitement.
It's just that...... When Agate comes to take the box to deal with it tomorrow, what kind of expression should it be?
Moreover, Li Jingshan knows that she is innocent, why should she give others the stigma instead? She put the box as it was, cut her fingers with scissors, and dripped her own blood on the white "festival towel", then ripped off the cloth towel, threw it under the bed, and lay down next to Ruan Mingyu, closing her eyes peacefully.
---
-
On the second day of the wedding, the newlyweds usually have to give tea to their in-laws and elders.
When Li Jingshan woke up early, Ruan Mingyu was still asleep. Xianggong can sleep soundly, but she, as a bride, cannot. Just after the hour, she had already packed up.
There was a soft knock at the courtyard door, and it was the maids and servants who came in to clean up. Onyx came in with her mother-in-law, and saw that she was already sitting in front of the hall drinking tea, and stepped forward to greet her with a smile, "Did the third young grandmother sleep well last night?" ”
Onyx is the big girl who has a face in front of Mrs. Ruan, and she is kind, so Li Jingshan naturally gives her enough face. personally stepped forward to help her up, took her hand and sat down together, bowed his head slightly and said shyly: "The wedding night, that's it." ”
took out the small wooden box from his sleeve and handed it over with a small purse, "I wonder if my mother-in-law is up?" When is the right time for me to go over for a tea ceremony? ”
Agate could also feel the shape of the silver bun inside through the fabric, she put away the wooden box and purse together, and smiled generously, "Thank you for the reward of Grandma Sanshao." Madame and Master are about to get up, so you can go back in half an hour. ”
Seeing that the mother-in-law had already packed up the "festival towel" in the house, she got up with a smile and said goodbye to Li Jingshan, "Madame, get up, I should go back to take care of it." ”
Li Jingshan politely sent her out.
Onyx went out of the yard, checked the blood stains on the white towel in a secluded place, and opened the box to see the intact blood bag inside, and his eyes were a little clear - this third young grandmother is a person with brains and can carry it clearly, and she will definitely be able to get along happily in the future.
Li Jingshan estimated that Mrs. Ruan had already packed up, and walked into the main courtyard to greet her mother-in-law at the right time.
Mrs. Ruan happened to be having breakfast, and when she saw her coming over, she greeted her warmly: "Shan'er came just in time, accompany me to have breakfast first." "Go back and ask Agate to add another pair of chopsticks.
Li Jingshan had actually had breakfast, but it was hard to excuse herself, so she sat down and drank a small bowl of millet porridge with her mother-in-law, and then put down the dishes and chopsticks.
"Eat too little." Mrs. Ruan looked at it dissatisfied, and said angrily: "Your body is too thin, and it will not be conducive to birth and cultivation in the future." On weekdays, you can boil more nutritious soup to make up for it. ”
Having?! Li Jingshan almost couldn't swallow the sip of tea in her mouth, and hurriedly complied: "Thank you mother-in-law for your love, I just used dim sum when I came, so I can't eat much now." This is not the case on a normal day. ”
"If it's not for a bad appetite, is it because you're too tired on weekdays?" Mrs. Ruan was surprised, "If that's the case, I'll tell Ah Yu, it's better not to assign you the work in the store, and the errands in the palace are not easy to do, so don't be tired of you." ”
"Thank you mother-in-law for your concern." Li Jingshan saw that Mrs. Ruan also put down the dishes and chopsticks, and hurriedly poured a cup of tea and handed it to both hands, "I have a lot of fun in the store, and besides, I don't have to go to the palace every day." It's just that when I have work, I go into the palace to help. This little work has no effect and is not tiring. ”
"Well, that's good. Not long after you got married, there is nothing in Ah Yu's courtyard, and you live here, so I can give you a good look - you are still too thin. If there is any inconvenience, you can mention it to Onyx. ”
Madam Ruan smiled, took the teacup and took a sip, "Ah Yu is trying so hard to marry you into the door, I don't think I will bully you." But if there's something wrong with that bastard, you can just tell me. ”
Li Jingshan had to smile and thank her mother-in-law for her care again. The two had breakfast, Mrs. Ruan sat on the main seat, drank the tea officially offered by Li Jingshan, and instructed her to say two words so that she did not have to be restrained, and then let her go to greet Mrs. Tai.
Madame Ruan put aside Li Jingshan's eight-treasure tea. This tea looks noble, but it is not her usual taste. Onyx served Mrs. Ruan's commonly used "Qingfeng Snow Buds" and said with a smile: "Mrs. has pretended to be a wicked person in order to see the third young grandmother." You see, as the slave maid said, she has a gentle and quiet temperament, and she is a good person. ”
Mrs. Ruan took a sip of tea and said with a slight smile: "It's true that you are gentle and quiet, but it's good-looking...... Not necessarily. ”
