Chapter 108: The Bride

She went to the kitchen.

The kitchen was still hot late at night, after all, there was a big banquet tomorrow, and I was shocked to see her, the bride, coming.

Wen Zhen said that he couldn't sleep and wanted to cook to relieve stress. Everyone laughed, thinking that it was inevitable that the bride would be nervous, not to mention such a big scene, to become the future wife of the Tang family. I heard that this person is good at cooking and can really decompress by doing what he is good at, so someone immediately went to inform Tang Xianzhi, and some people diligently gave her a place.

Wen Zhen said no, this big night, the smoke and fire are afraid that it won't look good tomorrow, so I will make something simple and light. Immediately took out the salted egg yolk, the pickled cucumber strips and radish strips, the roasted seaweed slices, the fried eggs spread out into long slices, the plump and snow-white crab fillets from the claws of the sea crabs, the full and attractive crystal color of the crab roe, the mellow eel fillets that have been brushed and then roasted in the sauce, the crisp celery, the fresh willow leaf-like yusheng, the white and tender shrimp meat, the golden and dense sea urchin, the bright red salmon roe and the snow-like cod fish are white and bright and scorching. Of course, the main thing is that the cold rice is as bright as a pearl, and her special soy sauce, which is now hard to find on the market, is thick and shiny...... The variety and vividness of sushi is enough to create a unique aesthetic.

"I'll add a big dish to tomorrow's feast." She said. Let the people in the kitchen who are good at handicrafts make a miniature version of the same big boat as this big boat out of bamboo strips.

And they did as they were told.

Wen Zhen began to make sushi, box sushi, roll sushi, roll sushi in the Taimaki thin roll hand roll in the warship roll, holding sushi in hand...... All kinds of shapes, all kinds of ingredients, just on the sea again, all kinds of fresh seafood are available, giving Wen Zhen a lot of room to play, she moved fast, one by one sushi quickly piled up on the desk, and when the huge ship model was ready, Wen Zhen personally put the sushi layer by layer, the bow of the boat put the sharp salmon raw hand holding roll, the center of the boat lined up a small piece of cucumber egg shrimp meat sushi, the stern of the boat piled up with sauce black eel box sushi, those shiny brown black eel fillets in the middle of the attractive bright red fish roe, Some places are blank, and Wen Zhen says it's called blank. Even on the hull of the boat, a row of sushi is fixed with shells of green shells on the left and right.

Hundreds of sushi dishes were used on the entire sushi ship, and the rice in the large pot where the kitchen could take a bath was used up. With the help of a few people, Wen Zhen was busy all night, and it was almost finished at dawn.

When it was finished, everyone couldn't help but admire, and they couldn't bear to leave around the big dish, but Tang Xianzhi, who came later, didn't bother, only looked at it with a smile, and it wasn't until Wen Zhen finished doing it that he stepped forward and took out a handkerchief to wipe her sweat.

Wen Zhen didn't refuse, he raised his face and let him wipe himself carefully, his handkerchief material was delicate, his gestures were even more gentle and exquisite, and his outdated posture was like wiping the most precious porcelain, revealing a careful preciousness.

The atmosphere was a little strange, the people on all sides were smiling, disappearing one by one, Wen Zhen was slightly embarrassed in his heart, wiping sweat, which was nothing ambiguous, could actually rub out pink. She was a little apologetic, so she couldn't help but find words to break the silence of the moment, "This is called Dragon Boat Sushi." Is it good-looking? ”

She looked into Tang Xianzhi's eyes, frank and open.

Tang Xianzhi only looked at her, not at the dragon boat, and said with a smile: "What you do is naturally the best-looking." Not only is it beautiful, but it is also delicious. ”

He turned to the dragon boat, as if he wanted to taste it first, Wen Zhen looked at him with a smile, hugged his arms and did not stop him, and said, "Do you want to test for poison?" ”

Tang Xianzhi's hand stopped, and when he turned back, he smiled helplessly, "What are you talking about?" ”

Wen Zhen laughed, "Joke." ”

Tang Xianzhi also smiled, and ordered someone to preserve the dragon boat sushi with ice and take it out for the guests to enjoy at the banquet. And he said, "I thought you would make a cake." ”

Wen Zhen was stunned, and suddenly thought that marriage should make cakes, but she didn't have this idea at all.

"The cake is just for birthdays." She laughed.

"Go and sleep for a while, or I'm afraid the fat powder won't be able to cover the darkness under your eyes."

Wen Zhen didn't need to look in the mirror to know that he must be looking ugly now, and the most ugly bride in history was about to be born, so he smiled and went to sleep.

After she left, everyone wrapped the dragon boat with ice, Tang Xianzhi had been watching silently, probably because he had been watching it for too long, the guard behind him couldn't help but take a step forward, and asked in a low voice: "Childe, otherwise the subordinates should check it......"

Tang Xianzhi raised his hand, and the guard stopped talking.

Tang Xianzhi seemed to be stunned, and sighed for a while.

"It's not poison...... he said.

His sigh was long and slight, and a thin mist condensed in the cold air of early winter, and it melted in an instant.

For no reason, the guard felt that the atmosphere around him was a little sad. Inexplicably and cautiously, he stepped back again.

After a long time, he heard the son's order: "The dishes made by Madame herself should naturally be the finale." At the end of the feast, let's send it again. ”

……

Wen Zhen, who returned to the cabin, didn't sleep for long, he was pulled up and washed and dressed.

The big ship is very luxurious, there are four layers on the deck, and the bilge is also layered, it is a unique giant ship in this era, with nine masts, twelve sides of the giant sail, a draft of one zhang, and the ship is equipped with a full range of personnel, even the bride, the grooming mother.

Just last night, another group of people got on the boat, all of them were children of the Tang family in northern Sichuan, some were managing industries nearby, some were traveling to study nearby, and some came directly from northern Sichuan.

These people are men and women, the men go directly to Tang Xianzhi to report for help, and the women come to Wen Zhen.

Wen Zhen heard that Tang Muzhi had also been on the boat, no matter what, her brother's Jiali, she couldn't always say that she was not there, but probably because she didn't want to face the future sister-in-law, Tang Muzhi didn't appear.

Wen Zhen had just sat down in front of the dresser when he heard someone laughing outside the door, and said first: "Go and meet our new fifth sister-in-law." ”

The corners of Wen Zhen's lips hooked.

It's really boring to think about it.

Do you have to come to this when you get married?

The new fifth sister-in-law. What do you mean? Did you have an old fifth sister-in-law before?

It's amazing, one sentence makes people think about it, thanks to her, this is a marriage of interests, if she really likes Tang Xianzhi, this sentence can't be a big drama in my heart?

The young lady of the wealthy family is all a smell.

No one asked if they could enter, the curtain was lifted, and a few people came in, but it was not much, it was four women, after all, it was not in northern Sichuan.

One of the young women was the wife of a son of the Tang family's side branch, and her husband was in charge of the management of the Zhuangzi in that part of Jianzhou.

The other one is a daughter of the third room of the Tang family, the same generation as Tang Xianzhi, who married to Jianzhou to marry Jianzhou Zhizhong. With her sixteen-year-old daughter.

The last one is still a girl, a young lady in the seventh room of the Tang family, who is also about to get married, and came to Jianzhou to play in the name of choosing pearls, and happened to be sent to congratulate the representative.

The steward's wife has the lowest status, and she is also the most exquisite, and after coming up to congratulate her warmly, she will go aside to help, except for a little overzealous, but it is not annoying.

Mrs. Zhizhong is a little noble, the official wife has been in office for a long time, and she can't put down the shelf, her daughter, Wen Zhen is simply breathtaking, the best age for the little girl Qing Shui Furong has to wear heavy makeup, and she probably regards today's banquet as a high-level blind date banquet, but what's the matter with her temperament? Wen Zhen accosted her a few words and asked her age, she twisted and said that she was still much younger than her aunt. After a while, I said that it wasn't much smaller.

When I asked her what she liked, she said she didn't really have any hobbies. When I asked again, I said that the embroidery girl was what women should learn. When asked her what was interesting about Jianzhou, she opened her eyes wide and said she didn't know. The look full of expression: "How can you be too proficient in eating, drinking, and having fun without going out of the door?" ”

…… What a special one!

Wen Zhen was so pretentious that she was about to vomit, and her official wife's mother was still proud, probably thinking that her daughter was raised very dignified and quiet.

As for that Miss Tang, that is, the one who spoke just now, she seems to be in a measured manner, and her attitude is down-to-earth and generous, but between her words, there is always a little uncomfortable thorn in her words, of course, for Wen Zhen, this kind of method is really nothing.

After seeing these women of the Tang family, she thought that the Tang family must be very patriarchal, what an outstanding person Tang Xianzhi is, the young ladies have not had a decent one since Tang Muzhi, most of them are in the Tang family, that is, the items of marriage and interest exchange. is Tang Muzhi's whistle stunt, isn't he going to marry Sikong Fan, who is a few years younger than himself?

After a few women chatted a few words, they sat down separately, and they couldn't help but look at the furnishings and utensils on Wen Zhen's side.

Wen Zhen sits in front of a dressing table carved with beautiful fish, the top is smoothed out of seashells, glowing with a five-color pearlescent color, and a circle of rice beads inlaid on the edges.

The brass mirror is polished and the edges are decorated with tortoiseshell coral, which is luxurious, bright and chic.

The jewelry in front of her was packed in a snow-white box, which was said to be made of shark bones, a whole set of twelve, each with extremely exquisite reliefs, which was said to be the story of the ancestors of the Tang family from the dragon to the history of the state.

This thing is worth more precious than the tortoiseshell coral mirror, and Wen Zhen almost had the urge to buy it back.

But as soon as the box was opened, she immediately gave up that urge again.

And those women of the Tang family, even if they had seen the world, couldn't help but let out an exclamation.

A box is a set of the best fire phoenix red coral head surface, the most precious one of the coral, there will be a faint flow pattern, like a phoenix, and the color is bright like fire, so it is called the fire phoenix.

Wen Zhen remembered that the queen seemed to have only one fire phoenix and coral swaying?

This set of head faces retains many shapes of coral, and has been further imagined and processed, embellished with pure black malachite green pearls, which are luxurious and bright.

The other set is the head of the golden silk clams with aquamarine, the combination of these two precious underwater treasures is very rare, the main body of the golden silk clams is tooth white, there is a faint shining gold filament circulation, this thing ordinary people may not be able to see in a lifetime, Wen Zhen also listened to the introduction of Xi Niang to know that this is the famous clams. Aquamarine is produced at the bottom of the sea, which is very rare in this era, and what is even more rare is that the color is pure sea blue, the particles are large and the crystals are perfect, the brilliance flows, and it is like being surrounded by sea water, and the figure can be seen clearly.

The shape is in the shape of a lotus, and the lotus flower made of large aquamarines in its natural shape is so exquisite that it can be auctioned directly by Sotheby's......

By the way, I thought about what I would get if my brain entered the water and married Yan Sui - with that person's maverick virtue, he must dislike the jewelry being too vulgar, and it is estimated that he will give her some undersea monster skull, or dinosaur eggs or something, right?

No, no, no, she doesn't want dinosaur eggs, she wants pigeon eggs, the kind above ten carats is best.

The set of pearls is also placed casually in a box, colorful pearls, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, rainbow colors are complete, each one is as big as a thumb, each one is crystal round and flawless, each can buy a house in a third-tier city......

The shape is even more amazing, it is actually a pearl crown, Western-style style, with red sapphire and emerald gold-green cat's eyes, Wen Zhen doesn't know how Tang Xianzhi can prepare this style, did he specifically ask the foreigner in the palace? Or is it because of the story of "being adopted by foreigners" that she made up?

In the other box is also pearls, this time white sea pearls, just the right size. It's a bit like the modern popular island nation of Tiannu Pearl. The sparkling white beads shimmer with a faint pink, and the neon brilliance can be seen from every angle, with tourmalines of outstanding colors, such as Paraiba and Padparadscha which are particularly expensive and popular nowadays, a clear neon blue, which is indescribably beautiful, like the clearest mountain lake in the world; One is the fresh and delicate orange pink, the color that is heartwarming at a glance, with the moonbeads that shimmer with natural rainbow light, the set of hairpins, hairpins, crowns, tins, and combs, which are so beautiful that they are suffocating.

There are a lot of happy mothers and maids in the house, everyone is dazzled, looking at Wen Zhen's eyes full of envy, I probably think that this is not much of a beautiful girl can have such a blessing must have been cultivated for ten lifetimes.

The status of the maid is low, just envious, and the women of the Tang family can't sit still.

The hypocritical lady's eyes kept sweeping on the set of white powder bead jewelry, and kept falling on Wen Zhen's face, her face was full of words and stops, and she was ashamed to say it, and her face was full of "Come and ask me, come and ask me, come and ask me, come and ask what I want to say!" ”

Wen Zhen didn't ask.

Joke. After asking, you said that there are a lot of these things, oh so beautiful, oh so envious, and then what is that, how is it so good-looking, can you show me, I will take a look, and then put it on her hand and refused to take it off, and then her mother asked her to take it off, and then she was crying, procrastinating, and reluctant to take it off, and performed this process very sadly, until the person was so embarrassed that he couldn't stand it, and said that he would simply give it to his sister, forget it, and then my sister burst into tears and said with a smile, sister, you are so good, then I'm sorry, right, yes, right?

It's not that she looks down on the style of the Tang family's women, but that the Dongtang officials are not very high, and a ruling woman is not enough for this mother and daughter to be full of jewels, presumably they don't stretch out their hands on weekdays, no matter how high the Tang family's family is, these women are just partial branches that have been separated.

Miss Hypocrisy looked at Wen Zhen with a smile, admiring this and trying on that, but she didn't answer her eyes, so she had to bow her head helplessly and admit defeat to the thick-skinned and black-hearted Lord Wen.

The girl named Tang Qingqing said: "I didn't expect the fifth brother to be so hearted, the fifth sister-in-law is really blessed." I also heard my wife say that I had to get married hastily in a hurry, but now it seems that where is the hasty? ”

The lady said: "I heard that the fifth brother and sister were originally the female officials of the palace, and they don't see much of such outstanding jewelry, right?" ”

"No more, no less." Wen Zhen smiled, "Envy has always been very good to me. ”

"Sister Yue's words are bad." Tang Qingqing said, "Although the fifth sister-in-law is only a female official, but she has always been favored by the royal family, I heard that she used to live in Yiwang Mansion, His Royal Highness King Yi is deeply favored by His Majesty, his mansion must be very luxurious, the fifth sister-in-law lives there, what good things have not been seen?" ”

Oh, Wen Zhen thought, just now he was still sarcastic about my low background and lack of knowledge, and now he has risen to attack my water-based Yang Hua.

"yes, yes." She smiled, "Your fifth brother also lives in Yiwang Mansion, and he has seen good things in the world, so he chose these to be so discerning." Saying that, his chin was a little bit at the colored bead jewelry, "Sister Qingqing heard that good things are coming?" Since you come to Jianzhou, it is naturally also a pearl head, what do you think of this set of rainbow bead heads? ”

Tang Qingqing was stunned, and what she meant when she heard her words was that she wanted to give away this rainbow bead jewelry? There was a burst of ecstasy in my heart - although it is also the Tang family, the Tang family is also divided into three, six, nine and so on, she is just a concubine in the unfavored room, of course it is impossible to have such a precious rainbow bead.

"It's a treasure, of course. Sister-in-law but. Tang Qingqing's smile immediately softened a lot, and even the praise began to go to heart, "It's a pity that I can only wear one set when I visit the church, and it's no wonder that my sister-in-law chose to be dazzled." ”

"yes, that's a shame." Wen Zhen closed the lid with a click, stroked the delicate carved flower with a little regret, and pushed the box in the direction of Tang Qingqing, "It's true that you don't need so much to get married." ”

Tang Qingqing reached out in surprise to pick it up.

Wen Zhen's hand pushing forward suddenly moved back, and he simply picked up the box neatly, handed it to the maid beside him, and said with a smile: "So it's better to put it away and wear it in the future." ”

Tang Qingqing's hand stopped in mid-air.

It's a little shaky.

The skin is a little purple.

For a moment, Wen Zhen felt as if she wanted to slap herself back, or give Wen Zhen a slap in the face.

But in the end, the finger barely stopped shaking under the meaningful gaze of several pairs of eyes, and pressed the dresser.

Wen Zhen counted silently in her heart, and when she counted to ten, they made an excuse to go out by themselves, God knows that she has been annoyed to death.

Before she could count to ten, someone at the door said coldly: "The guests have arrived, there is a lack of people to take care of them in front, and a few people are barely counted as my Tang family, do you still want to be lazy here?" ”

Tang Muzhi's voice.

The real Miss Tang family has arrived.

Tang Muzhi stood at the door, not looking at Wen Zhen. Her face was bloodless, and her eyes did not look like they were looking at relatives, but they wanted to look at a puddle of mud that had trampled the corners of her clothes.

Several women seemed to be afraid of her, and suddenly stopped talking, and they were about to go out with a vague farewell, but Tang Muzhi didn't give way, and those women had to carefully turn sideways, and they didn't dare to touch the corners of her clothes.

Tang Qingqing's reaction was one step slower and walked to the end, and he heard his cousin say coldly: "Our Tang family's family can actually raise such shallow eyelids, it's really gratifying." ”

Tang Qingqing gritted her teeth, her eyes were surging with emotion, shame, anger, hatred, and unwillingness...... In the end, he turned his head and left.

Wen Zhen squinted his eyes and looked at it, thinking to himself that Tang Liu, a famous and upright person, who had exhausted the best resources and enjoyed the highest treatment, could not understand the difference and difficulties between the side branch and her.

Therefore, when these girls from the Tang family heard her words, they would only arouse more resentment and unwillingness.

Tang Muzhi was still standing at the door, looking at the void, and said, "The Tang family's door is not something that any cat or dog can insult. ”

"Sister-in-law." Wen Zhen smiled, "Come, sister-in-law will give you a flower arrangement." Don't worry, I will never give a gift from your brother to a cat or a dog. ”

Tang Muzhi stopped talking, she knew that arguing with Wen Zhen would definitely lose, so she simply turned around and left.

Wen Zhen didn't care, the world was finally clean.

In the end, the bride chose the white pink pearl head for Wen Zhen, which is really too good for Wen Zhen himself, the same delicate and sweet.

The wedding dress was also cherished, Tang Xianzhi had not yet taken over the history of the Sanzhou Assassin, and his father's title had not yet been passed to him. Although his wife has a noble status, she can only be regarded as a white Ding at present. But Wen Zhen herself is a court official, so according to the laws of Dongtang, her wedding dress can enjoy the phoenix crown of the life woman. But because it does not belong to the royal family, there can be no phoenix, only colorful pheasants, but the embroidery is extremely exquisite, all gold and silver threads, gems are embellished, the embroidery is fresh and smart, overturned gorgeous, the only drawback is that it is too heavy.

The bride in charge of grooming has a good handicraft, according to Wen Zhen's requirements, she did not wear the heavy and stupid wig bun, only braided her hair, and coiled a simple bun, and those Zhucui Wen Zhen only used half of it, maintaining it at a gorgeous and uncumbersome standard, and successfully saved her cervical spine.

There are a total of five layers inside and outside the wedding dress, and Wen Zhen did not follow the rules, so he streamlined two layers and put on a close-fitting small jacket to show his delicate figure.

Today is not a formal marriage, and it is at sea, Wen Zhen and Tang Xianzhi have simplified it a lot after discussion, but there are regulations to be done every hour.

When she was in the middle of nowhere, she dressed up. At the end of the day, the board is lowered and the important guests with the invitation cards are invited to board the ship. At that time, Tang Xianzhi personally entertained the guests, and accompanied everyone to the luncheon at noon, which was probably also a fraternity of the younger generation of the gate valve family, whether it was an alliance or to maintain hostile relations, it depended on the understanding and negotiation of this day, but Wen Zhen had no chance to listen, she had to be a shy bride in the room all day. When it is time to apply, put down the board again and invite the screened ordinary guests who do not have invitations to board the ship.

This is Wen Zhen's special request, saying that this is a very important day for her, and she naturally hopes that more people will witness her beauty and glory, Tang Xian has a good acceptance of her nonsense, and immediately nodded. Considering that there were too many people and the capacity of the ship was limited, the Tang family could only contact those ships and then select suitable guests on those boats.

As for how the Tang family screened and whether Yan Sui could get in, Wen Zhen didn't care. She has always only done what she can do, and she will never take care of everything, if she can't keep up in the future, it will be Yan Sui's own incompetence.

Her crossing of the line is always controlled within the range of "I have my little Jiujiu, but I can say it in a high-sounding manner, and I am not afraid that you will see if my little Jiujiu agrees with my little Jiujiu, I will do whatever you want", contrasting Tang Xianzhi's self-confidence and the concessions he can give to make demands, and eat away at this integrated ship step by step.

Guests without an invitation will gather on the first floor, where there will be a furnished hall for rest and refreshments. Tours will also be allowed within certain limits. But it's certainly not impossible to walk around casually.

Guests with invitations can visit the whole ship under the guidance of the Tang family's servants, and the rest and dining place is on the fourth floor.

Shen Shizheng, Tang Xianzhi will take relatives and friends to pick up relatives from the second floor to the third floor of the ship, although the distance is very short, it is not a completely formal etiquette, but there will still be a test link to pick up relatives, and then pick up Wen Zhen. At the beginning of the unitary period, the formal worship was sent to the cave room. The fourth floor of the building boat held a feast to entertain guests from all over the world, and the day's process came to an end.

The process is very clear, and the people arranged by the Tang family are also very sophisticated, and Wen Zhen was finished on time, and the face of the bride was reflected in the brass mirror.

------Off topic------

The group drama that is about to start, there are dozens of characters who appear before and after, the relationship identity and position are complicated, there are many people and things to explain, and the way of narration is also interspersed with flashbacks, movie montage-style, you need to be patient and careful, you can eat a few more walnuts to make up for it first.

I don't know if I can handle this kind of play, if you are not satisfied, please don't tell me.

By the way, give a ticket, I guarantee that Yan Sui's posture of destroying family affairs is very sassy.
