Chapter 126: The Day of Marriage (1)
The rain fell in the night, and the sound of the rain was numb and gentle.
This kind of weather should have made people sleep most peacefully, but Zheng Lingyi was awakened by the slight sound of rain.
The birdsong outside the window was wet, and the smell of saltiness was overflowing.
Zheng Lingyi opened his eyes, and the gray virtual image in the air was a silkworm chrysalis, which soon turned into a thin butterfly with dull wings when his eyelashes were hazy.
The door creaked open, and there was the sound of light, hesitant footsteps.
Qiaoluo's gentle face was like a ray of light in the dark sky, "Sister, are you awake?" When you get up, use a bowl of sweet soup with red dates first. ”
"There is sweet soup with red dates so early? Did you sleep last night? Zheng Lingyi put his arm around her and got up and asked.
Qiao Luo smiled slightly, but did not speak.
A few plump dates floated on the red-brown and clear sweet soup, Zheng Lingyi drank half a bowl, and the remaining half bowl was called Luzhu to drink.
She has to accompany Zheng Lingyi today, and it is estimated that there is no time for her to eat and drink.
Everyone quickly got busy, they got up early, but there was still not enough time.
The wedding dress is layered one by one, not to mention that four or five maidservants have to help wear it together, usually the embroidery room directly asks the skilled maids to come over and wear it for the sister, but the Lu family does not give Zheng Lingyi this convenience, and can only rely on Qiaoluo and Luzhu.
The two of them stayed up almost all night last night, except for looking at this wedding dress over and over again, for fear that it would make a mistake on Zheng Lingyi and make people laugh.
"Why does this phoenix tail look a lot smarter, you changed it last night?"
The original phoenix tail was short, as if someone had cut it off, and it looked very moldy and unaesthetic.
Zheng Lingyi looked at Qiao Luo, but Qiao Luo deliberately lowered her eyes, not wanting Zheng Lingyi to see the bloodshot in her eyes, so she only said briskly: "Sister, is it okay to look at it?"
Zheng Lingyi couldn't help choking and said, "Naturally, it's good." ”
The combing mother was an hour late for tea, and Qiaoluo, who was in a hurry, rushed to Anheju, so this person twisted his body and came in from the courtyard gate.
Aunt Wan looked at Zheng Lingyi, who was sitting in front of the window, like a pear blossom hanging from the window, and sighed: "Sister, this is a good skin, I don't know what it will look like." ”
The combing mother entered the house with a shelf, and she had to drink a cup of tea before she was willing, and everyone was so angry and anxious that they were about to hold back their tears.
She ate tea and snacks, and then Shi Shiran went to dress up for Zheng Lingyi.
"Mama, who did you say, is the bride's makeup for?"
When the combing mother grabbed the girl's soft and thick hair in her hand, she suddenly saw the girl in the bronze mirror smile and spoke.
After combing her hair, she was instructed, so naturally she didn't give Zheng Lingyi a good face, but said impatiently: "The candle night in the cave room, who else is there besides the groom!" ”
"That's it. As soon as the red hijab was covered, only the groom official could see it, but it also took a lot of thought from Mama. The tea in my room is shabby, and I don't want to go. With this idea, you should invite your grandmother to tea. ”
Zheng Lingyi said, smiling at the combing mother in the mirror, as if there was no mustard.
The bulging bag of silver in her palm couldn't help but tempt anyone.
The combing mother was shocked by the weight of the purse, and said in her heart: "It's really ruthless, and it's so generous." ’
She looked around and knew that all the people in this room were henchmen, so she put away her purse, put away her bad thoughts, and decorated Zheng Lingyi in a proper manner.
"Sister, such a good skin, I can't even put my hands on the powder."
Silver can't buy sincerity, and it's more than enough to buy a few kind words.
"Then don't pounce, just put some makeup on the side."
Zheng Lingyi said smoothly, but when he saw that the combing mother had a hesitant look on her face, she glanced at the green beads.
Luzhu didn't understand what it meant, but when she saw that the combing mother wanted to speak and stopped, she suddenly felt blessed and went to close the door.
"Sister, Madame let me use this box of powder."
Combing her hair, Mama opened a silver box of entwined lotus flowers to Zheng Lingyi, the silk lace puff, the fragrant powder is delicate, and there is nothing wrong with it, but it is too delicate, unlike what Lu Shiken gave.
"Oh? Madame specially instructed that there must be something unique about it. Tell me about it. ”
Zheng Lingyi had already guessed a rough idea in his heart, and his heart trembled slightly, but he still pretended to be calm and composed.
"Say it's going to make people have a rash on the face, and then ......
The rest of the words were not finished, and the combing grandmother smiled awkwardly.
She is also forty years old, but when she sees this pink face and red lips, she will inevitably feel a little jealous in her heart.
But jealousy is one thing, and if you really want to destroy this beauty, it's not something that most people can do.
"Did it work quickly?" Zheng Lingyi said softly.
This thing is really a sin, although it is for the sake of the love of the silver taels, but this grandmother is willing to tell the truth, in the end, it is not bad to the bone.
"It will take four or five hours."
The grandmother told her about it, although she had no burden of sin, but she was also worried about herself, she was still holding the box of powder in her hand, and smiled at Zheng Lingyi: "Sister, the daughter of the old slave is on an errand in Anheju." ”
Zheng Lingyi glanced at her, this grandmother was dignified, otherwise she wouldn't be a happy lady, but this smile seemed obscene.
Zheng Lingyi touched a small handful of silver beans from the makeup box and gave it to her, and said, "Don't worry, Mama, you are kind to me, I won't trouble you." ”
That's all she said, without much explanation.
The combing mother still had some scruples in her heart, but she was full of silver in her arms, and her courage was fat, thinking that there was always a way to be vague, so she responded and combed her hair for Zheng Lingyi.
Green beads guarded, the two of them spoke softly, she didn't hear half a word, she heard someone knocking outside, so she opened the door and welcomed Qiao Luo and Aunt Jiang in.
Zheng Lingyi heard the sound, looked back and smiled, the jade hairpin was oblique and cloudy, and the golden phoenix was on the skirt.
Under the red makeup, the girl quickly became full and mature.
The eyebrows and eyes are full, and the cherry lips are a little bit, full of coquettish and bright colors.
"Mama's craftsmanship is really good." Aunt Jiang praised, and naturally guessed that Zheng Lingyi spent a lot of money to reward.
As soon as the gold powder and vermilion lacquer box was opened, Aunt Jiang felt uncomfortable again.
The gold hairpin is thin, the color of the pearls is dark, the quality of the bracelet is good, the gold inlaid Canaan fragrant wood inlaid longevity word bracelet, I think it is a concern to the gesture, the bracelet may leak outside, so it is not used to offset it.
The crown of the silk spike is sparse, and there are only a few grains of turquoise pressing the scene, Aunt Jiang is sad, seeing Zheng Lingyi lifting the tassel and smiling, what jewelry is lacking, her smile is covered.
"Today's rain is an auspicious sign, God who should cry for you, the days to come must be full and fulfilling."
The sound of rain outside the window added a bit of hustle and bustle, and Aunt Jiang looked at Zheng Lingyi lovingly and reluctantly.
Zheng Lingyi's eyes were hot, and he was reluctant to let go of Aunt Jiang's hands tightly.
After a long time, Aunt Jiang suppressed her emotions and said, "What time is it now?" ”
Although Aunt Cao is the main mother, she is also in charge of the outer courtyard, and the inner courtyard is entrusted to Wu Rouxiang.
"It's already early noon." Qiao Luo wiped his tears beside him and said.
"Why hasn't there been any movement in the outer courtyard?"
Luzhu was half-squatting, mending vermilion on Zheng Lingyi's nails, and when she heard Aunt Jiang say this, she also raised her head and glanced at Zheng Lingyi worriedly.
Aunt Jiang sent Zheng Changchang to listen to the news early, but she hasn't come back yet, I don't know if something happened.
She muttered in her mouth, and she could only wait for death.
I don't know how long it took, but suddenly I saw a figure trotting in, and before he could stand still, he chattered.
"The outer courtyard is bustling! The thirteenth brother had to compete with his brother-in-law, and he lost everything with knives, guns, sticks, and sticks, so his wife had to come out to play a round, saying that the thirteenth brother's old injuries had not healed. Dad couldn't wipe his face, so he asked the fifth brother to try to compose a poem, but he didn't think that his brother-in-law would not lose to him, and he made a draw, thinking that he still saved face! ”
Zheng Changchang's face looked a little eager, but a little excited.
The first few sisters got married, why didn't she see her brothers come out to block the door? wanted to take the opportunity to ridicule Wu Punishment, but he didn't expect that he was the one who was humiliated.
Zheng Lingyi just wanted to laugh when he heard it, but because the combing mother was still there, he had to make frequent looks.
Zheng Changchang turned her head to take a look, and when she saw the old woman with a face, she was terrified, and said in a low voice: "What does it have to do with me, I still know it by listening to the servants of An Heju chewing their tongues." ”
"Alright." Aunt Jiang hurriedly dragged Zheng Changchang over and said, "What about your fifth sister-in-law?" Can you see it? ”
"I inquired, and said that I was watching the excitement in the outer courtyard." Zheng Changchang said, "But my brother-in-law has passed every level, and I think she will be back soon." ”
Zheng Changchang's words didn't make Aunt Jiang feel much relieved, she calculated that the auspicious time was getting closer and closer, and her heart was very anxious, so she simply went outside to wait.
Rubbing the side of the auspicious time, the outer courtyard finally handed the word in, and the house was in chaos all of a sudden, Zheng Lingyi subconsciously went to look at Qiao Luo and Zheng Changchang, their eyes were full of reluctance, and their eyes were opposite for a moment, and they called the hijab to cut off.
All around was full of red light, and embroidered shoes under the hijab came and went, dazzling her.
Zheng Lingyi lay on the back of a rough mother-in-law, bumpy and uneasy along the way, and always felt that there was a cry sticking behind him.
As everyone knows, Aunt Jiang didn't make her uncomfortable, and kept gritting her teeth and crying.
Qiaoluo couldn't help it, and ran all the way, saying over and over again: "Sister, sister, you have to be good, you have to be good." ”
The rough mother-in-law was not moved at all, as if she was carrying a rice bag.
Zheng Lingyi was sad when he heard this, and wanted to turn his head to look at them, but when he moved, he was reprimanded: "Sister! If you move again, don't blame my mother-in-law for missing the auspicious time! ”
Zheng Ling's pasta was not greased and powdered, and he wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes with his fingers, leaving a cold feeling.
The woman was really rude, and when she grabbed Zheng Lingyi and stuffed it into the sedan chair, her strength was inexplicable, and Zheng Lingyi was almost smashed into it.
"You!" Lu Zhu followed the sedan chair, and when he heard the crisp sound of bones hitting the board, he was really angry, but he couldn't do anything in front of everyone.
Zheng Lingyi's elbow hurt so much that she couldn't exhale the pain, so she could only rub it silently for herself.
She was frowning and enduring the pain, when she suddenly heard a muffled sound of falling to the ground outside, and heard the woman's 'oops' cry, and she couldn't help but feel strange.
"Sister!" Lu Zhu tried his best to lower his voice, but he still couldn't suppress his joy, "That woman fell on a big horse!" After eating a mouthful of soil, it looks very ugly! What retribution! ”
Zheng Lingyi couldn't help but smile when she described it so vividly, and then heard Wu Zhi's low and pleasant voice coming from the other side, "This revenge is not over, let her fall once you see it." ”
Zheng Lingyi's smile deepened a little, and in the deafening sound of gongs, drums and suona, the sedan chair swayed higher.
Zheng Lingyi didn't realize that she was married with a smile.
