Chapter 181: Mermaid Soup (2)

"The auspicious time has come!" Xing Ruyi said and put down the bride's hijab.

A pair of mandarin ducks, watching each other, lie quietly.

"Sister." The bride cried out in panic and reached out to hold hers.

The bride's hands were very cold, and the fingertips were green and green, with a hint of blue.

"Don't panic." Xing Ruyi patted the bride's hand and said, "I have everything with me." ”

The hands hesitantly lowered slowly.

"Ruyi girl, everything is please!"

It was the bride's father who said this, with a hint of worry in his eyes, a smile on his face, and a slight bow on his back, making a humble and sincere appearance.

"Don't worry, Lord Xin, I will definitely send Xiaoru safely." Xing Ruyi smiled back and helped the bride to stand up. "Xiaoru, let's say goodbye to your father."

"You don't have to, it's just that you get married, and it's not that you can't go back to your parents' house. Ru'er, don't worry, after a few days, your mother and I will go to Li's house to see you. ”

Lord Xin waved his hand again and again, and he didn't see his daughter's body in bridal clothes stiffen slightly.

Xin Xiaoru blessed her body and said, "My daughter is gone!" ”

Master Xin hummed twice and turned his back. His eyes met Mrs. Xin, who was standing outside the door, and her eyes, which were still red, returned to their original state in an instant. He walked briskly over to Mrs. Sheen and stood side by side with her. After standing up, he asked in a low voice: "Why don't you see Yun'er?" ”

Mrs. Xin didn't seem to be very happy, so she only glanced at Master Xin lightly and replied, "Do you still have our Yun'er in your heart?" ”

"Madame, isn't what I hurt the most is our Yun'er?"

"It's a good thing to say, when the Li family came to ask for a kiss, you only had your Ru'er in your heart."

"Madam misunderstood, aren't I also thinking about our Yun'er? In terms of age, this Yun'er is so many months younger than Ru'er, how can there be a reason why the eldest sister is still waiting at home, and the younger sister will marry first. In terms of marriage, although the Li family is an upstart, it is a continuation after all, and it is not very good to say. Yun'er is the meat of your heart and mine, where am I willing to let her suffer this kind of grievance. Besides, you don't know about the turmoil in the capital, although this Li Shen is good, his mother is a person who can't be provoked. Our Yun'er is delicate, wouldn't it be aggrieved if we met such a mother-in-law. If you think about it, does what I say make sense? ”

Mrs. Xin pondered for a while, and her face finally improved.

"What else can I say now. But our Yun'er's marriage, you have to take it to heart, and you can't be worse than Ru'er. ”

Master Xin nodded repeatedly.

At this time, Xing Ruyi was walking past them with the bride. Under the red hijab, Xin Xiaoru's mouth was pursed hard, and her eyes were lowered, so that people could not see her hidden emotions.

The Li family, inside and outside the house, are all decorated with joy, but this happy hall makes people feel a little strange when they see it.

The mother of the groom's official son, Li Shen, and Mrs. Li sat on the right side, but a spirit tablet was placed on the empty chair on the left. Looking at the name written on it, this spirit card should belong to Li Shen's father.

This bride should worship her in-laws when she enters the house, but I have never heard of a bride who has just entered the wedding hall to worship her father-in-law's spiritual seat. Although the guests who came to watch the ceremony felt strange, they all whispered in private, saying auspicious words and showing false smiles that are customary for socializing.

Xing Ruyi and the fox, as the bride's maiden family, also stood among the guests watching the ceremony. As usual, the fox only looked at Xing Ruyi alone, while Xing Ruyi half-squinted, with the same fake smile on his face as the other guests.

One worships heaven and earth, two worships the high hall, when the husband and wife worship each other, Dongmei, who was standing next to Li Shen, found that there seemed to be an extra pair of feet next to the bride's wedding robe. She held the tea tray in one hand, rubbed her eyes with the other, and when she looked closely, the feet were gone. She thought it was the feet of the guests, but when the husband and wife bowed to each other for the third time, they reappeared.

It was a pair of women's feet, and she was wearing embroidered shoes on her feet, and the embroidery on the upper was still somewhat familiar.

Dongmei took a closer look again, and suddenly remembered that those shoes were Madame's shoes.

Madam, not the Mrs. Li who had just entered the door in front of her, but the former lady who Li Shen had taken a break.

Before Li Shen became Lord Li, he married a country woman as his daughter-in-law. When Dongmei entered the mansion, the lady had not yet been divorced. She has seen it twice from afar, and she is not good-looking, but her temperament seems to be fine.

Once, Dongmei went to deliver something to the old lady, and as soon as she arrived outside the door, she heard the old lady inside cursing people in an extremely vicious language. Dongmei is a native of Luoyang, and she has listened to it since she was a child, and what she speaks is official, but what the old lady uses to scold people is a local dialect. Dongmei hadn't heard of it, but she could vaguely make out a few words. After a while, a woman came out of the old lady's house with her head down, met Dongmei, and seemed to want to look up to say hello, but the old lady seemed to be a little unhappy, and chased out of the house again, and scolded the back of the bowed head again.

Not long after, the old lady asked the old lady to give her a leave of absence on the grounds that the former lady would not be able to give birth. The old man argued with the old lady twice, but each time it ended in the silence of the old man. After that, Dongmei didn't see the lady again.

When Dongmei woke up, the groom and the groom had already led the bride to the direction of the new house. Dongmei subconsciously chased a few steps, but was stopped by the old lady.

She turned her head with the tea tray and asked in a very low voice, "Fang Cai...... Has the old lady ever seen anything out of the ordinary? ”

"What's unusual?" The old lady frowned and looked at Dongmei: "Don't worry, I will not forget what I promised you." When the gentleman is past the time of the wedding, I will let him take you into the house. Although it is just a concubine, if you have a stomach, it is not difficult to gain a foothold in this mansion. ”

After a pause, the old lady added: "According to your background, it is a blessing to be a gentleman's concubine. ”

Dongmei talked about things again and again, but when she thought of the embroidered shoes, her heart still jumped a few times uneasily.

"The lady from before ......," she wanted to ask a few words tentatively, but when she saw the old lady's face darkened, she swallowed the first sentence again. The old lady can rest assured, Dongmei will not think about anything else, she just wants to be able to stay by the old lady's side, and she will be satisfied if she serves the master well. ”

"It's good to know." The old lady nodded with satisfaction: "Today is a happy day for gentlemen, so you don't have to follow it." ”

"Yes! Dongmei followed the old lady to entertain the guests. ”

"I like you as a clever person, although you also have some restless minds, but you know how high and low you are." The old lady stretched out her hand, and when Dongmei saw this, she hurriedly put down the tea tray in her hand and stepped forward to support her.

The old lady nodded with satisfaction, and when she walked past Xing Ruyi's side, she couldn't help but look at it twice, "Dare to ask ...... this lady is."

"Ru'er's cousin."

"Cousin?" The old lady looked Xing Ruyi up and down again, and saw that she was dressed richly, and even the hairpin on her head was not a vulgar thing, and she liked it a little more in her eyes: "When I went to Lord Xin's mansion before, I heard Lord Xin mention it." It's just that I don't know if Mrs. is Ru'er's cousin? ”

"Those who are distant are not considered close relatives."

"Oh!" The old lady sighed softly, and then asked: "Look at the lady's extraordinary bearing, I don't know what the husband's family does for a living?" ”

"My husband is a man who helps people see a doctor and get medicine."

"Lang Zhong!" The old lady finally set her eyes on the inconspicuous fox: "Lang Zhong is not bad." ”

As soon as the words fell, Xing Ruyi heard another ventriloquish: "I originally thought that this cousin was the wife of a certain official eunuch, if she got along well, she would be able to give the gentleman a boost in the future, but I didn't expect to marry a Langzhong." Hmph, this one is not badly worn, but I don't know if it was borrowed from someone else. ”

Xing Ruyi knew that this was deliberately made by the fox to let her hear, she lowered her head and touched her nose, and when the old lady turned her back, she asked the fox in a low voice: "If I say that I know the emperor of the dynasty and have a good relationship with him, will she treat me differently?" ”

"You just need to move out of that grand lord, and it will be enough for you to gain a foothold in this Li family." The fox said nonchalantly, but Xing Ruyi heard it, he was unwilling, and he didn't want Xing Ruyi to mention that person at this time.

"Don't you say that I forgot, now Xiao Shengzi is also a celebrity in the capital." Xing Ruyi dragged the fox's hand, "I'll just talk about it casually, but you're still angry." What's up? Are you afraid that I will marry into the harem with the ball, intrigue with those warblers and Yanyan, and stage palace scheming? ”
