Chapter 488: Happy to marry a daughter-in-law
The Gu family went all the way to the door, and Xu covered his face with a handkerchief, not knowing whether he couldn't stand the smell of saltpeter, or couldn't hold back his tears.
Wu was also a little choked, holding Brother Sheng and standing beside Xu, his eyes kept looking at the sedan chair.
Marriage is a great event, but compared with the in-laws who marry their daughters-in-law, the maidens who marry the girls are happy and sad, and no one can avoid it.
Even if everyone knows that the girl is married well, this tangled mood will not change.
Xu Lingyi and Gu Yunsi also came to the door to see them off.
Gu Yunsi was pregnant, so it was difficult to squeeze forward, so she only looked at it on her tiptoes, and when she saw that Shan's eyes were also slightly red, she couldn't help but purse her lips.
I was so reluctant to marry my niece, and when she came out of the cabinet at the beginning of the year, my mother was afraid that she couldn't stop crying.
Fortunately, in the same Beijing, the mother and daughter can see each other during the New Year's holidays, she is pregnant, the mother can sit in a small sedan chair to see her, Gu Yunjin is out of the pavilion, she can also come back to send a send.
The bond with my mother's family does not have to be entrusted, it is already a great luck.
Xu Lingyi helped Xu Shi and comforted him in a low voice.
Behind them, Lin Wan also poked his head out and looked at the sedan chair with a smile.
The white smoke of the firecrackers just dispersed, and the groom and the maid in front of him could be clearly seen.
Sun Ke and Cheng Jinzhi didn't know what they were talking about, their faces were full of smiles, and they teased Jiang Muyuan again.
The bride urged him to get up the sedan chair, Jiang Muyuan took the lead and turned over on the horse, the handsome boy who practiced martial arts, even such ordinary movements were more dexterous than ordinary people, and the heavy wedding clothes did not stumble him at all, but looked even more heroic.
Sun Ke also got on the horse, patted the horse's neck, and turned his head to talk to Jiang Muyuan.
Cheng Jin stepped on the stirrup, and after catching a glimpse of Lin Wan smiling brightly behind the crowd, he made a move, and his eyes drifted over.
Lin Wan played well with Shou An and Changping, so he was familiar with Cheng Jinzhi since he was a child, and there have been many opportunities to see each other in recent years, but the topics of the girls and buddies are different, and they mostly take a look at each other, so they go to find playmates.
Seeing Cheng Jinzhi looking over, Lin Wan naturally did not avoid it, and waved his hand at the other party with a smile.
Cheng Jinzhi was stunned, and was urged by the little prince to say a few words, and then got on the horse.
Sun Ke was extremely keen, his mouth was urging, and his eyes followed the direction of Cheng Jinzhi's distraction, grinned at Lin Wan, and then said to Cheng Jinzhi: "Do you think Lin Wan can still be distracted?" You don't talk about running into her once in a month, and she hasn't changed from last month. ”
Cheng Jinzhi touched the tip of his nose and wanted to explain a few words, but the sharp sound of the suona was all overshadowed, so he had to shut up, clamped the horse's belly between his legs, and let it follow the queue.
There was another burst of firecrackers, and in the white smoke, only a patch of red could barely be seen, but it was the cheers of the crowd that passed through the bursts of firecrackers, as if in the ears.
Cheng Jinzhi thought that Lin Wan was still Lin Wan, and there would be no change from last month, but what made him distracted was the joyful atmosphere today, which was booming, which made him suddenly realize that Lin Wan, who was so familiar, was so bright when he smiled.
The welcoming procession embarked on the return journey.
As soon as this car set off, the hawkers waiting at the entrance of the alley reported to the East Street, and it became lively for a while, and people were crowded and wanted to go forward.
The groom's official is tall and big, and he can see it from afar, and the sedan chair that follows behind him, although he has seen it when he went to greet his relatives before, but when he thinks that the bride is sitting in it, it still makes people want to look twice.
Although, no one can see the appearance inside the sedan chair.
But this does not prevent everyone from praising the beauty.
"I just squeezed into Xilin Hutong, and I happened to see Gu Liuye sending Miss Gu to the sedan chair, but unfortunately the distance is a little far, and I can't see it really."
"You can't do this," said the man on the side, "like me, quietly climbed the tree, and I saw that the wedding dress was embroidered with a phoenix wearing a peony." ”
"Then you didn't look at your face."
"Phew!" The man said, "Is the face for me to see?" That's for the little grandfather! I'm one to join in the fun, and it's good to look at the wedding dress. ”
This drew a burst of laughter.
The man said again: "Don't hide it, don't look at it all red, Miss Gu is wearing a wedding dress, and her posture is better than that of other brides." ”
"Where can this be the same? I heard that the wedding dress is made in the palace," the mother-in-law who spoke was full of envy in her eyes, "I will marry like this once in my life, let alone the wedding dress, just this sedan chair, ordinary people, who can compare?" ”
This is not a lie.
Ordinary people, how can there be a sedan chair at home, they are all rented from the carriage and horse shop.
In the carriage and horse shop, a set of sedan clothes for ten or twenty years are available, yesterday a person was still carrying the old man's grandfather, and today a red sedan car can be made into a sedan chair.
If you want to pay attention to it, you can't pay attention to it, at most, you can pay more money and pick a good-looking sedan clothes.
Some of the official families are different from the people, some of them are handed down by their ancestors, and some of them are borrowed from the families of their in-laws and friends.
And the royal sedan chair is the most different.
The sedan chair is the sedan chair, which is not used for other purposes on weekdays, and the sedan chairs of thousands of workers and ten thousand workers in the south of the Yangtze River are sent to the capital, and they are collected in the treasury of the imperial city, and they are used according to their identities, and they cannot be transgressed.
The gold lacquer carvings on the top of the sedan chair, layer upon layer, are enough to make everyone look at them intently.
The accompanying little maids sprinkled copper candies with handfuls of candy, causing the crowd to cheer.
Some people grab candy, some people look at the sedan chair, and some people stare at the groom's official one by one.
The people of the capital have always liked Jiang Muyuan, and he often walks in the market, and everyone in the East Street area is familiar with him, and they also shout and talk to him on this good day.
"Little grandfather, the corners of his mouth are raised to his ears, he is so happy to marry his daughter-in-law!"
Sun Ke rushed forward and replied: "Who is unhappy to marry a daughter-in-law?" ”
shouted and laughed: "When will you marry the little prince?" ”
Hearing this, Sun Ke immediately held his heart and sighed: "I also want to know, why don't you go to the square in front of the palace gate tomorrow to ask for a wish for me?" ”
Burst into laughter.
Jiang Muyuan also smiled, listening to the people praising the groom for the beauty of the bride, he looked back at the sedan chair behind him from time to time.
The sedan curtain was hanging, and he couldn't even see the corners of Gu Yunjin's clothes, but he sketched her red makeup in his mind more than once.
Beauty must be beautiful, his bride, the whole capital can't find a second such good-looking, since the first sight, the seed has been buried in his heart.
Gu Yunjin can hear the excitement outside, but you and I are all together, and I can't really hear it.
The Qiangong sedan chair walked steadily and did not bump, until the crackling sound of firecrackers sounded outside again, and Gu Yunjin knew that they had returned to the outside of the Ningguo Mansion.
