Chapter 266: Disheartened (6)
…………
The desert temperature at noon is as high as a stove, and under the scorching sun, there is a wave of heat rising in the air, which makes people breathless and dizzy!
During the day when the temperature is extremely high, few people come out, unless necessary, people sit at home and drink hawthorn water to escape the heat, and wait for the high temperature to pass at noon, and then go out for a walk.
On this day, the air is filled with a festive atmosphere, a quaint mansion in the east of the city, on the edge, on the door, on the wall, inside and outside, festive red lanterns are hung everywhere, and red paper-cuts are pasted, and the servants are busy tidying up the room under the scorching sun, and arrange it before the sun sets.
The newly appointed Hanlin court attendant, and the queen mother's personal maid tied the knot, at dusk, the groom official will lead the bride from the palace to arrive at the mansion, worship the church to marry.
It is said that the Queen Mother personally presided over them, and all the people present were big people with heads and faces in the court, and these low-level slaves were terrified, strictly controlling every step, lest there be a little mistake.
Fortunately, the Queen Mother called a few grandmothers to command from the side, hung lanterns, pasted paper-cutting, made happy beds, and a series of things were done in an orderly manner and successfully achieved.
In the evening, with the sound of firecrackers and bamboos, there were hundreds of people in the mighty welcoming procession, and the groom official in a festive red dress rode a horse to the front of the crowd.
Ami's dowry is dazzling, there are as many as six boxes, and a mere maid is so favored by the Queen Mother, which shows how much the Queen Mother attaches importance to her!
Because the Queen Mother attaches great importance to it, a maid gets married, and there is no shortage of civil and military officials who come to congratulate her, some of them are running to sincerely bless the good intentions of the newlyweds, and the other part is running to the Queen Mother to take the opportunity to please her.
In any case, the day of marriage is particularly lively, crossing the brazier to carry the bride, the folk customs have gone through one by one, and when a set of processes is down, the bride and groom are panting, tired and sweating.
The bridegroom's father and mother died early, there were no relatives at home, not to mention the bride, an orphan, the queen mother sat on the throne and was bowed by the two, drinking the filial piety tea presented by the two respectively, and took out the red envelopes prepared in advance from the sleeves and handed them to them.
"Okay, Licheng!"
The matchmaker shouted to save the tired two.
Next, the bride went back to the new house to rest, while the groom stayed behind to continue entertaining the guests.
Today's attendance is full of big shots, the first official position of the Hanlin Academy is sincerely afraid, one by one to the adults who came to congratulate the audience, one by one is not enough to come to another glass, a round of wine to drink, around the amount of wine is very good, he can't help but be dizzy, drunk.
On the day of marriage, the groom was inevitably drunk, and the lucky ones sent the last batch of guests away, still retaining a little sobriety, and the unlucky ones were drunk and couldn't distinguish between the southeast and the northwest.
The attendants of the Hanlin Academy were very lucky, because they were worried about the presence of the Queen Mother, the officials did not dare to make too much trouble, and drank a few glasses with the groom official.
The banquet was noisy from dusk to Hai, when the night was deep, the cold wind was biting, and people felt a biting chill coming, and then realized that time passed quickly, and the night quietly fell in the blink of an eye.
The guests left one by one, and the noisy lobby gradually quieted down, and after sending off the last guest, the waiter turned his head to look at the messy tabletops and the crooked chairs, and let out a soft sigh.
In the year of not being confused, many times he was unable to do it, unlike when he was young and energetic, just to deal with these guests, he was already exhausted, and he had to get up and rush to the wedding room, complete the last procedure, and remove the red hijab.
"Are you alright, my lord? Why don't you sit down and take a break? ”
The weak chamberlain almost tripped over the threshold when he crossed the door, but fortunately the servant behind him quickly supported him.
The servant asked him if he would rest before leaving, and the attendant shook his head and pushed away the hand that was supporting him.
"No need, you go and rest, and the tables and chairs will be cleaned up tomorrow."
Thinking of the woman waiting for him in the marriage room, the waiter was in a complicated mood, and his steps changed direction for some reason, and he walked towards the back garden instead.
He thought that he might be drunk and groggy and not very conscious, and he planned to go for a walk in the garden first, get some fresh air, and wait for the wine to subside a little, and then go to the marriage room.
Speaking of the bride who only has two sides, the waiter can't help but think of his wife who has been dead for many years, he and his wife are childhood sweethearts, the two are happy, and they should live happily together forever, but his wife is infected with a vicious disease and died early, leaving him alone to be sad.
Many years have passed, he is alone, and he has no plans to marry a wife, but the queen mother suddenly summoned him and said that he wanted to give him a marriage, and the marriage object was a strange woman who only had two sides.
Hey, the marriage has been concluded, the church has worshipped, what is the use of thinking about these now?
That's it, escape is not a way, what should be faced will have to be faced sooner or later, the time is not early, don't let the matchmaker wait for a long time.
The waiter who figured it out was about to go home, when he suddenly heard two small conversations in front of him.
There was silence all around, and the voice was some distance away from him, and he couldn't hear what he was saying, and the courtyard attendant was suddenly surprised, wondering who was wandering in the garden without rest at such a late hour.
While guessing, he stepped forward, passed through the rockeries, and clearly saw a graceful and luxurious woman sitting in the gazebo in front of him!
She was wearing a dark purple moonlight dress, with thick long hair coiled into a complex style of fringed high temples, and between the black black hair, she wore a luxurious and exquisite pearl hairpin.
The light was not good at night, her beautiful figure had the light of fireflies, and the whole person exuded a soul-stirring charm, and the attendant seemed to be caught in a magic barrier, staring blankly at that beautiful figure and stopping breathing.
"Queen Mother, you are drunk, please take care of your phoenix body!"
Maybe because the most favored maid around her got married, the queen mother was in a good mood, and drank several glasses in a row, and the maid saw this and hurriedly persuaded her to drink less, but the queen mother turned a deaf ear, carried the wine jug to the back garden, looked at the bright moon drinking alone, and looked a little lonely.
The maid guessed that the queen mother was in love nine times out of ten, watching others go in and out of pairs, but she was alone and isolated, and she couldn't help but think of the first emperor who had died for a long time, so she was depressed and drank alone to kill her sorrows.
Worried that the Queen Mother was really drunk and she couldn't afford it, the maid dissuaded her again, and had the courage to take away the wine jug, but the Queen Mother reacted very calmly, did not reprimand her, nor did she order her to come back, only quietly supported her chin, staring at the bright moon and being distracted.
