Chapter 254: Wei Yimi's Wedding
The phenology changed darkly, the old union changed into a new peach charm, and in the blink of an eye, it was the end of the year, and Chinese New Year's Eve was connected to the first day.
Sacrificing ancestors, distributing red envelopes, and finishing the reunion dinner on Chinese New Year's Eve, it is considered to be the end of the whole year.
According to the old custom, the New Year should be the most leisurely.
Officials are on vacation, the school is on holiday, the boudoir is taboo on needlework, and the gambling money and alcohol that are usually not allowed to be messed with have become a serious thing in the New Year.
Every family has a feast, every household gambles, and has fun until late at night every day.
The singing troupe is so busy that their feet don't touch the ground, just because everyone with some status has to sing a few big operas to look stylish, and they can earn half a year's ration money for the whole New Year, and they can't rest when they sing and split.
For the troupe, they didn't make any money in the New Year, so they didn't want to save up their savings for the whole year.
In addition to singing, eating, drinking and gambling money, there are also some elegant games, playing the piano, playing chess, writing poems and paintings, and several like-minded people can spend a whole day together.
However, this year, because the Zhiyong Mansion has to prepare for Wei Yimi's family affairs, it can't be stopped in the first month.
Although they still feast and sing as in previous years, they are always not as leisurely as usual, and there are still too many things that are not prepared, and they are busy all day long, and they are not happy to have fun.
None of the servants in the house were allowed to take leave, and each of them sealed an additional red envelope of ten taels of silver, which was regarded as compensation.
The subordinates have nothing to say, not to mention the extra silver, but who dares to say anything more if they only give wages.
Compared with Bao and others, Wei Yining is an idler, so he has not been affected.
In the first month, in addition to eating and sleeping in the house, he reads books, and occasionally sets up cards for Mrs. Zhu and chats with him.
During the period, I went to Xiao's house, and the Yan family and the Wei family went to a banquet, and they stayed at the Wei family for a few days. I messed with the sisters for seven or eight days before I came back.
Xiao Qingqing's body recovered a lot, and she also stayed in Wei Yining for two days.
The sun and the moon are long in leisure, but the first month is out unconsciously.
February is not as lively as the first month, there are still a lot of things to play, and it has passed in a flash, and in the blink of an eye, March, the second day of the first month is the day of Wei Yimi's marriage.
Needless to say, in order to make his daughter marry, the dowry list was stacked a foot thick.
The twin daughters were so envious that their four eyes were on fire, and these dowries were worth the income of the whole house for twenty years, and it was unlikely that they would have so much money in their lifetime.
Wei Yimi married into the Feng family, and she could live comfortably for a lifetime with these dowries, and she didn't need to spend a penny on the Feng family at all.
Bao's doing this is obviously to let her daughter marry in the past to have a hard waist, not to mention that Wei Yiwan is gone, and her dowry is not needed, so she simply gave Wei Yimi alone.
Wei Yining didn't think anything of it, she was neither jealous nor envious, Wei Yimi got married, and since then, she has seen her less, and I don't know if there will be a chance to fight in the future.
Wei Yimi, who was dressed in a red woven gold wedding dress, wore a red gold inlaid phoenix crown on her head, and a row of pearl tassels hung down to cover her face, and only a touch of red lips and a delicate chin could be seen.
When bidding farewell to his parents, Bao couldn't hold back crying, and Wei Zongyong's eyes were red.
Wei Yimi couldn't help but shed a few tears.
When you go out and get into a sedan chair, you can only send your brother out of the door, and your parents can't go out with you.
Wei Yimi was helped out by her brother Wei Chang'an, Bao Shi behind her bit her lip and burst into tears, and the maid and woman on the side also cried and persuaded her, and the drum music mixed with the hypnotra was noisy and chaotic.
The Feng family is also a large banquet, with hundreds of tables of flowing water seats, shuttling people coming and going, and the voices of congratulations come and go.
Only occasionally there will be people talking about it in private.
"The Wei family's family affairs are a bit hasty!"
"Who's to say it isn't! I didn't hear any movement before, and I kept it a secret enough. ”
"So the Sui family is okay? It's a family affair set since childhood, and if you say that you regret your marriage, you regret your marriage. ”
"What if the Sui family is unwilling? When you can't close your family, you have to quit your family. ”
"Having said that, the Sui family also has a backbone, I heard that after receiving the letter from the family, they returned the marriage letter, but the 10,000 taels of silver were confiscated, saying that it was just an invalid marriage, and his family had no loss, maybe it was a good thing."
Although people talked in small voices, there were also sentences and a half that reached the ears of the Feng family.
Feng Yi's face didn't change much, but he felt very uncomfortable in his heart.
The Wei family's family business is a last resort, and it is impossible to say that they are satisfied.
Feng Yi and his wife didn't say anything, but they also felt that what Wei Yimi did did not meet the requirements of everyone's ladies.
Whatever the reason, it's unseemly to meet a man all night out, and whoever has a well-bred daughter would do such a thing.
But now they can only eat coptis dumbly, since they can't help but marry her, they have to consider the face of the Feng family.
If you have any dissatisfaction, you can only hide it in your heart and not show it in front of outsiders.
Feng Yuchao behaved normally this day, and he couldn't see the slightest reluctance.
Although he was not very happy, he was also smiling and happy.
He made up his mind to torture Wei Yimi to death early, so he deliberately behaved appropriately in front of people, so that people could not see the clues.
The Feng family was so lively and noisy that they didn't send off the guests until ten minutes after sunset, but the close relatives didn't leave, and they didn't disperse until they got through the cave room.
Wei Yimi used a little bird's nest porridge under the service of Xi Po, Feng Yuchao was drunk, and after entering the cave room, he barely drank a glass of wine and couldn't support it and lay down to sleep.
Wei Yimi's dowry girl Xifeng stepped forward and whispered: "Girl, the slave maid will remove your makeup and loose clothes!" ”
Another girl, Xiyan, also said: "The girl is tired after tossing this day, go to bed early!" I'll have to get up early tomorrow morning to serve tea! ”
Wei Yimi nodded and asked the two girls to remove her makeup, except for the clothes outside.
The maid retreated, and Wei Yimi put down the gold tent and went to bed, Feng Yuchao was already asleep, and at first glance occupied most of the bed.
Wei Yimi had to sleep close to the outside, but fortunately, the bed was big enough not to fall down.
The light of the dragon and phoenix candle danced gently, and through the gauze tent, the shallow lines were cast on Wei Yimi's face, making her expression obscure.
After playing the second watch upstairs, Wei Yimi's eyelids were heavy, and her breathing gradually lengthened.
Suddenly, a small whirlwind suddenly rolled up in the room, and it slipped around on the ground a few times, and actually blew out the dragon and phoenix candles.
Wei Yimi woke up suddenly, and the darkness in the room made her unable to stop being frightened.
The wedding candle cannot be extinguished on the wedding night, which symbolizes the love of the husband and wife and the old together, but now that the candle flame was extinguished before the night was deep, Wei Yimi always felt a little ominous.
She didn't alarm the maid outside at night, but quietly got up and went to the ground by herself, and carefully groped for a new candle.
The candle flame flickered slightly, from small to large, Wei Yimi returned to bed, always feeling uneasy in her heart.
It wasn't until midnight that I couldn't bear to fall asleep.
