[Chapter 4, Volume 4]
Section 159 Chapter 159 Erniang gets married
Because there are more Zheng and Huo Qingqing in the family, Lu Xianger's willingness to stay alone with Lu Erniang for a while has not been realized. I wanted to get up earlier and talk to Lu Erniang again. But when Lu Xiang'er opened her eyes again, it was already dawn.
Lu Xiang'er, who had cleaned herself up, left the room, only to find that apart from herself, there was no trace of Chaoxia and Huo Qingqing in this courtyard. Thinking that she was getting up late, Lu Xiang'er ran out of her yard, but found that there were already many more people in the Lu family at this time, and they were busy. Lu Xiang'er regretted that she shouldn't have drunk wine last night and slept so soundly, and walked quickly to Lu Erniang's room.
In other words, this ancient wedding is really cumbersome, except for preparations, this wedding day is also very busy. As the wife of the Guogong Mansion, Yahuan is indispensable here. Zao'er, who has been following Lu Erniang, must be going to the Guogong Mansion with her. And Song Yuan still bought four maid rings before, and after a period of teaching, it was officially sent to Lu Erniang's side today as her dowry.
Not to mention, it's really good to have these four Yahuan who have been specially taught by Song Yuan. As soon as he arrived at the Lu family, he quickly became familiar with everything around Lu Erniang, and he was also careful and thoughtful in handling things, which made the Zheng family and Mrs. Wen who were watching from the side very satisfied. However, from the bodies of these four maid rings, it can also be seen that Song Yuan is interested in Lu Erniang. While dressing up Lu Erniang, Zheng and Mrs. Wen made fun of Lu Erniang. Lu Erniang was teased by the two, but she also dispelled some of the sorrow of leaving the three children.
"Auntie, you are so beautiful today. Sister Chaoxia, what do you think? Seeing Lu Erniang wearing a bright red wedding dress and the makeup on her face, Lu Xianger took Chaoxia's hand and was very happy for Lu Erniang.
Lu Erniang saw Lu Xiang'er and Chaoxia standing behind her from the bronze mirror in front of her, but she said with some emotion: "Xiang'er, Chaoxia, I won't be at home in the future, you have to take good care of yourself." Brother Hong's temperament is sometimes very twisted, and the two of you must persuade him in time, so as not to provoke any nobles. β
"Auntie, don't worry, we will definitely be fine." Hearing the sound of firecrackers outside, Lu Xiang'er's heart and nose suddenly became sour. And Chaoxia also turned her head to the other side, and the aura of sadness spread around her body.
Seeing the appearance of Lu Xiang'er and Chaoxia, Lu Erniang's heart felt a little better. Even at that moment, Lu Erniang didn't want to get married, she wanted to stay and take good care of the three children, watching them get married and marry wives. Fortunately, Lu Erniang is not young, and she knows that the matter has come to this point and she can't change anything, so she quickly put away that kind of thought.
But in the face of Lu Xiang'er, who has seen her since she was a child, Lu Erniang is really reluctant to leave them. Grabbing Lu Xiang'er and Chaoxia's hands, Lu Erniang smiled slightly: "You remember, you are fine, and I will be fine." If you miss me, come to the palace to see me. β
"Got it, A-Niang." Lu Xiang'er thought that Lu Erniang had entered the Guogong Mansion, and she had to pay attention to every word and deed, and if she couldn't leave the mansion as she wished, her eyes turned red. Chaoxia bit her lip and nodded, her face was as usual, but there was some strange emotion in her eyes.
Seeing the scene of the three of them being reluctant to give up, Zheng and Mrs. Wen glanced at each other before saying, "Erniang, the auspicious time is coming, don't make a face." β
"That is, your mother and son will not be able to see it in the future. Guogongfu is the cousin in charge at this time, and his temperament will not care about so many rules. If you want to get together with Erniang, you can go to the Guogong Mansion to see her at any time. Mrs. Wen walked to Lu Erniang's side and put the Xipa in her hand on Lu Erniang's head.
At the same time, Xiao Wu outside also shouted loudly: "The groom has entered the courtyard......"
Because Lu Erniang and Song Yuan are not young, they are exempt from the process of hypnotic poems, and Song Yuan, who was dressed in a happy suit, came directly to Lu Erniang's room. What everyone didn't expect was that when Lu Erniang walked out of the room, Song Yuan, who was full of red face, actually picked up Lu Erniang and walked out, until he came to the sedan chair, and then put Lu Erniang down.
This move can be described as shocking, making all the ladies present show surprise, envy and jealousy. And Lu Erniang, who was hiding in Xipali, was already blushing, and she was surprised and happy in her heart. You must know that in the wedding of the Great Zhou Dynasty, there has not been a groom official who has taken the bride out of the room.
Lu Xiang'er, who was looking at this scene from afar, also heard something from the exclamations of the ladies next to her. Thinking of Song Yuan's thoughts towards Lu Erniang, she said softly: "Chaoxia, it seems that Mr. Song really likes A-Niang." β
"Well, otherwise Mr. Song wouldn't have done that." When Chaoxia saw Song Yuan and Lu Erniang, some envy rose in her heart. Thinking of when she would meet such a person, the shadow of the fourth prince Zhao Chengmin suddenly appeared in Chaoxia's heart, which made Chaoxia a little depressed.
"Get up the sedan chairβ" As the sedan chair drivers lifted the sedan chair, the dowry in front of the flower bridge began to move slowly. At this time, the people who watched the excitement nearby found that it was the dowry of sixty-six Taiwan. Although I don't know what is going on inside, the people are amazed when they see the dowry exposed outside.
Hearing the discussion of the people nearby, Mrs. Wen was also surprised to see so many dowries for the first time. The Zheng family next to him seemed to see Mrs. Wen's doubts, so he said in a low voice: "Don't underestimate Erniang, her dowry is full of good things." Moreover, it was all purchased by Xiang'er herself. Xiang'er has been making money since she was five years old, and the Lu family's money is ...... now."
Listening to the Zheng family talking about the Lu family's background, Mrs. Wen looked at Lu Xiang'er on the other side again. If Mrs. Wen looked at Lu Xiang when she was a child, she had a kind of love for juniors. Looking at Lu Xiang'er now, Mrs. Wen's eyes are full of admiration and appreciation. Lu Erniang is not Lu Xianger's mother-in-law, but she took out one-third of the person's money to buy a dowry for Lu Erniang, which shows how Lu Xianger treats her relatives.
Good looks and good character, Mrs. Wen has more thoughts in her heart after thinking of her son. When she looked at Lu Xiang'er for the third time, Mrs. Wen's eyes had the look of a mother-in-law looking at her daughter-in-law. Lu Xiang'er was a little hairy, and when the people in the yard sent the sedan chair, she hid on the other side of the morning glow.
When the sedan chair went away, the people of the Lu family also followed to the Guogong Mansion, and the Zheng family beckoned Lu Xianger and Chaoxia to finally leave the Lu family. Although Lu Xianger is the Lu family and Lu Erniang's relative, she is not Lu Erniang's elder. Song Yuan had already decided to let Lu Xiang'er, Chaoxia and Lu Hong go to the Guogong Mansion for a banquet. Moreover, he also said that he would surprise the three juniors.
After locking the gate of the Lu family, Lu Xiang'er and Chaoxia followed the Zheng family and Mrs. Wen to the Guogong Mansion in a carriage. And Lu Xiang'er only remembered Lu Hong, who she hadn't seen all along. Zheng smiled and said: "Brother Hong has long been dragged to the Guogong Mansion by Song Ge'er, and Qingqing is also waiting for you in the Guogong Mansion." β
Zheng got up and talked to Lu Xiang'er, and Mrs. Wen also interjected. However, Mrs. Wen has been asking about the trivial matters of Lu Xiang'er's family's life in Jiangling Mansion. Lu Xiang'er didn't understand what Mrs. Wen meant, so she replied cautiously. It can be seen that Mrs. Wen's smile is getting more and more kind, and Lu Xiang'er feels that her scalp is numb. Fortunately, the speed of the carriage was not slow, and it soon arrived at the Guogong Mansion, which made Lu Xiang'er breathe a sigh of relief.
Compared with the last time I came to the Guogong Mansion, today's Guogong Mansion is full of joy. Lu Xiang'er and Chaoxia's two female dependents were directly led to a side hall by Zeng Er, the second steward of the Guogong Mansion, and they were all young ladies who were about the same age. Because of this, the two did not see the scene of Lu Erniang and Song Yuan worshipping heaven and earth, which was quite regrettable.
However, it didn't take long for the two to feel no regrets. Because His Majesty the Emperor in the palace also sent someone to send congratulatory gifts, and there was also a decree that had just been issued, that is, to canonize Lu Erniang as the first lady. This holy decree made Zheng Baiyang and his wife, who came to the Guogong Mansion to congratulate, change their faces. Zheng Baiyang didn't expect that Lu Erniang, who had reconciled with him, would become a first-class lady, and her grade was even higher than him. But Mrs. Zheng almost gritted her teeth, and her jealous eyes couldn't wait to make two holes in Lu Erniang's body.
"This is what Mr. Song called the surprise." Chaoxia sighed softly, and while the little ladies in the hall got up, she said a word to Lu Xiang'er and quietly walked out of the side hall. And Huo Qingqing and Wen Yao, who were sitting next to Lu Xiang'er, didn't notice Chaoxia's departure, they all looked at Lu Xiang'er with envy, looking at her inexplicably. There are many little ladies who don't know each other and come forward to talk.
At this moment, a voice full of sarcasm suddenly sounded: "This is the so-called 'one person attains the Tao, and the chicken and dog ascend to heaven'." β
"Oh, who am I jealous of here, it turns out that she is a little lady who can't get on the stage." Huo Qingqing glanced at the owner of the voice, and his tone was full of weirdness, which made Lu Xiang'er a little unable to help laughing.
The owner of the voice listened to what Huo Qingqing said, and his face immediately turned red with anger. But it was also because the person who spoke was Huo Qingqing, she couldn't afford to offend, so she looked at Lu Xiang'er again and said: "Don't think that you are really the daughter of the Duchess of the Kingdom, a businesswoman who can't be on the stage." β
When Lu Xiang'er heard this, she turned her head to look at Zheng Baiyang's daughter Zheng Fangfei, and smiled coldly: "Today is a good day for my aunt, I don't want to cause trouble." If you are really envious, jealous and hateful, go and let your father work harder. Maybe in another ten or two years, you will become the daughter of Mrs. Yipin. β
After speaking, Lu Xiang'er turned her head and ignored Zheng Fangfei, who was trembling with anger. A few little ladies in the side hall knew that Lu Xianger was Lu Erniang's daughter, and they also knew that she was a 'little wine girl'. But it was the first time they saw Lu Xiang'er, and they didn't expect such a beautiful little lady to be able to say such a harmful thing. And Wen Yao, who had just met Lu Xiang'er, looked at Lu Xiang'er again, and there was a strong interest in her eyes.
"What's the matter, before I even came in, I heard your noise. Who is so arrogant that he dares to find unhappiness on the big day of the grandfather of the country? Just then, a voice came in from outside. And when the words fell, a little lady in a grand dress walked in with a smile on her face.
"I've seen Princess Jingrou ......"
