049, wedding
Lu Youzhen really did not break his promise, on the fifth day of the fifth month of May, he stepped on the horse early and walked towards the Su family with the welcoming team, but when he was still two streets away from the Su Mansion, he saw the Su family's housekeeper running over.
It turned out that Master Su got the news, annoyed that he didn't follow the rules, and sent the housekeeper to let him go, saying that he would never let him in if he was not auspicious, and the housekeeper gave many examples of "what will happen if the rules are broken".
Lu You was really helpless, and glanced at the direction of Su Mansion nostalgically, and then ordered a change of route and walked around Sifang City.
Su Xi happened to finish bathing at this time, and under the service of the maid, she changed into a red and glamorous wedding dress, she sat in front of the dressing table, and Pei Shi picked up a strand of her hair and stroked it carefully.
Pei Shi suppressed the sorrow in his heart, took the grate handed by Xianglan, and began to comb Su Xi's hair, singing while combing: "One comb to the head, the second comb to the eyebrows of the white hair, the third comb to the full hall of children and grandchildren, and the fourth comb to the four silver shoots." β
She pulled up her hair for Su Xi, put on the phoenix crown, and couldn't hold back sobbing anymore when she looked at the person in the mirror.
Su Xi turned around and hugged Pei Shi, she buried her face in Pei Shi's arms, and said angrily: "Mother, don't be sad, Lu Youzhen said that she would often accompany me back to see you." β
"My mother is not sad, my mother is happy," Pei wiped her tears and said: "In a blink of an eye, you will become a big girl, you are going to get married, you must be respectful and obedient when you go to your mother-in-law's house, and your husband will come first in everything, you know?" β
"Got it, mother, you said it all night yesterday, I remember."
"It's good to remember, it's good to remember." Pei Shi nodded, and asked the maid to bring some food up, "You eat a little cushion first, you can't eat after a while, you won't be able to eat after a while, and you will get lipstick." β
Su Xi nodded and ate, after Mama Xu's teaching, now Su Xi is getting closer and closer to everyone's ladies, and her eating appearance has become more elegant.
After eating seven minutes full, Pei's asked people to remove the things and asked the maid to put on makeup for Su Xi. At this time, there was a commotion outside Lanxi Garden, and a little maid came in to report, "The groom is here." β
Su Xi was curious, walked to the window and quietly opened the window. I saw that Lu Youzhen was dressed in a red robe, handsome and extraordinary, and was being stopped outside by her three brothers and cousins of the Pei family, surrounded by coaxing guests.
Su Xi in the house couldn't really hear what was said outside, but seeing that Lu Youzhen was smiling and confident, he must have been prepared.
Su Xi still had to take a closer look, but Pei Shi was afraid that she would be seen by outsiders, so he closed the window. After a while, the noise gradually approached, presumably Lu Youzhen had passed the difficulties of his brothers.
And the Su sisters were doing the second wave of blocking the door outside the boudoir at this time, and Su Tong was also there, she was only taken back to the Su Mansion two days ago. A group of sisters are clamoring for Lu Youzhen to give out red envelopes.
Lu Youzhen was naturally prepared, and gave them one by one, Su Rong took it apart and looked at it, and immediately said: "Brother-in-law is stingy, is this trying to send us away?" β
Everyone followed and coaxed, Lu Youzhen was not hypocritical, and sent another copy, which made a few fuss, and finally knocked on the bride's boudoir door.
"Su Xi, I'm here to pick you up." Lu Youzhen muttered.
Su Xi covered his head, put on new shoes and sat on the bed and couldn't move anymore, Su Wenqin stepped forward and squatted down in front of Su Xi, Pei helped Su Xi to lie on Su Wenqin's back, the last part of the mother's house should be carried by the eldest brother.
Su Xi came to the main hall, said goodbye to the old lady and her parents, and then got on the sedan chair. The master of ceremonies who sang recited aloud:
"Bai Xiao's son has a good relationship, and the inscription is gentle and gentle.
Baishi has a deep affection, and the years are connected.
Good flowers, good moons, good poems, ensemble piano and marriage.
Pick up the carβ"
With this "sedan chair", Pei finally couldn't help crying, Master Su sighed, comforted his wife, and beckoned all the guests to a banquet.
After all, the Lu family is not locals, they have not moved for a long time, and they don't socialize with people on weekdays, and there are not many people who are familiar with each other in Sifang City, so they can only invite some neighbors to watch the ceremony.
The wedding process is cumbersome, Rao is Su Xi has memorized it many times, but as soon as she covered her head, she was stunned. Fortunately, pandan vanilla has also been carefully taught by the Pei family, and Su Xi only needs to listen to their prompts.
Finally, after worshipping heaven and earth, Lu Youzhen and Su Xi were surrounded by people and sent into the new house, and the matchmaker handed over the wishful word, Lu Youzhen picked up the hijab, which made everyone in the Lu Mansion see the true face of the bride.
The matchmaker shouted loudly: "The newlyweds enter the cave room, and the wedding account is sprinkled with blessing fruits-", and a little maid brought lotus seeds, peanuts and other things to invite the newlyweds to sprinkle on the happy bed.
After sprinkling the blessing fruit, he replaced it with a combination of wine, and when the matchmaker sang the congratulations, Lu Youzhen picked up the wine glass and handed a glass to Su Xi.
Su Xi's face became even more shy in the warmth of this red room, she took the wine glass, took Lu Youzhen's arm, lowered her head and drank the wine in the cup, and Lu Youzhen did the same.
The two put down the cups, and saw the matchmaker take the golden Jiao scissors, and cut a strand of hair between the temples of the bride and groom, and the matchmaker kneaded the hair together and tied a concentric knot, and hung the concentric knot at the head of the bed for them, singing: "For the sake of lightening out thousands of strands, knotting hair as husband and wife, love is not doubtedββ"
Lu Youzhen and Su Xi glanced at each other, pursed their lips and smiled.
All kinds of etiquette are over here, Lu Youzhen led the guests to drink outside, and only pandan herbs were left in the house to serve.
After making trouble for most of the day, Su Xi was already hungry, and just about to eat something, he heard Lu Feng come over and report that "someone from the palace is here".
When Su Xi heard this, he quickly straightened his clothes and went to the front hall with Lu Feng. As soon as I entered the hall, I saw a white-faced and bearded husband talking to her father-in-law, whom had not yet officially met.
Seeing that the bride was coming, the old man smiled and said, "Since the bride is here, let's start." So saying, he asked for the holy decree.
Su Xi hurriedly stood beside Lu Youzhen and knelt down with him.
The old man's surname is Wei, he is the eunuch of Bingbi next to the emperor, and he has a bit of face in the palace, and when he saw that everyone knelt down, he slowly read the content of the holy decree, which is nothing more than a reward of gold, silver and jade.
As he read, there were palace people holding rewards one by one in front of everyone. The people in the Lu Mansion are okay, the eyes of those guests who came to drink were straight, not that the emperor rewarded him with a lot of money, but this face was different.
After the emperor's things were rewarded, he listened to Wei Gong's fair words: "The queen has a reward--Concubine Zhen has a reward-" So, another team of mermaids rushed in and put the rewards of the queen mother and Concubine Zhen on the table.
A dazzling array of things occupies most of the hall.
After the will was read, before the guests came to their senses, Master Lu shouted loudly: "Thank you for the emperor's reward-" Only then did he call everyone's souls back.
Master Lu ordered someone to send the rewards to Lu Youzhen's small warehouse, and sincerely invited Gonggong Wei to sit down and drink a glass of wine, and Gonggong Wei shirked a few times and agreed.
