Chapter 259: The Beginning of Spring
The night before the beginning of spring, the whole Gan Mansion gathered in the Star Picking Tower.
Crispy Core led Xi Po in, looked in the mirror before bathing and changing clothes, Gan Peilin, who was dressed in a red wedding dress, his eyes were moist with a smile.
"Miss, Xi Po has come to comb your hair."
Wang Qingchan and Tian Le were on the side, with a rare unanimous look of joy on their faces.
Such a lively situation, even when Gan Wanyun entered the palace, she didn't see it.
Gan Peilin looked at himself in the mirror and had an indescribable feeling. I don't know if my mother will be happy or sad to see this scene.
"One comb to the end, and the other to the eyebrows with white hair." Xi Po smiled and chanted the auspicious words that have not changed for the ages, and also sighed from time to time: "Our eldest lady, the hair is black and soft, like satin." And no more, no less, it is enough to be a nobleman. In the days to come, the husband and wife must be harmonious and happy. ”
The ladies naturally echoed the voice.
Even Gan Yawen is also very sensible, and she obediently handed the ornaments to Xi Po to use.
The whole boudoir is filled with sweetness and happiness.
Only Gan Yuntian was a little uncomfortable at this time, and he was entangled with Wu Wei in the study, which was quite uncomfortable.
"Da Sima, looking at all periods of history, can't you see that the emperor has long been murderous to the disciples of the high merit? How can you let your daughter marry someone with a worrying future. She's your daughter! ”
"Wu Gongzi, Master Wu, Zhuangyuanlang." Gan Yuntian really had enough of hearing such words, and his tense face was particularly impatient: "In the past, you and the Metropolitan Governor had the same thoughts, and they both wanted to marry my family Peilin. Everyone in the entire imperial city knew about it, and it almost damaged Peilin's reputation. But later, it was Pei Lin who decided to choose the metropolitan governor as her husband. I'm a father, what objection can I have? What's more, the emperor also nodded about this matter. If you want me to unilaterally repent of my marriage, isn't it a rebellion? And Peilin's temperament, don't you know? Although she looks soft and delicate, slender and slim, she is indeed a girl with a heart. And how could she change her mind because of my opposition. When the time comes, it will embarrass both Jiang Mansion and Gan Mansion, and you may not be able to do so. ”
"But the marriage event is the words of the matchmaker at the behest of the parents, if the big Sima doesn't nod, how can Jiang Yu pick her up from your mansion?" Wu Wei grabbed Gan Yuntian's arm with some excitement: "You don't believe that I can cross Jiang Yu in the future, that's why I have such a choice, right?"
"Wu Gongzi." Gan Yuntian held his hand back: "About the previous war, you asked me to ask Pei Lin's opinion." You've guessed right, what she thinks is exactly what you say. If you get married, you will be able to support each other and be harmonious. But the problem is that she is not willing to take this step at all. Sometimes, it's okay to be a good confidant. Tomorrow morning, the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion will use an eight-lift sedan chair to pick up Peilin to move into the new house and be the housewife. All this, like black letters written on white paper, is impossible to erase. That's it, okay? ”
Wu Wei looked at Gan Yuntian and laughed instead of being angry.
"Yes, speaking of which, she herself is reluctant to go with me, what's the use of me struggling here alone?"
"If only you understood." Gan Yuntian gently patted Wu Wei's shoulder: "Over the years, struggling in the whirlpool of the court, although the old lady does not dare to say that her eyes are like a hot and she can see everything, she always has some opinions of her own. Wu Gongzi, you are young and promising, you have courage and strategy, and you will definitely have a bright future in the future, so why worry about not being able to please the daughter of a good family. The old man still has to take care of tomorrow's affairs, so he won't stay any longer. ”
Wu Wei's smile was a little cold, but he said with difficulty: "Can I ...... Go to the Star Picking Tower to have a look? ”
"This ......" Gan Yuntian of course refused: "I'm afraid this is inappropriate." It's so late and there are still so many people there. If it gets out, I'm afraid ......"
"I'm not going to show up." Wu Wei said in a solemn tone: "I just saw her from afar."
Having said that, Gan Yuntian is not good at saving the face of Zhuang Yuanlang too much, after all, he has made suggestions for himself in the recent succession of things, which can be regarded as some affection. "That's good, don't lose your word."
"No, it won't." Wu Wei bowed his hand to him and went in the direction of the Star Picking Tower.
I never thought that the lights would become so dazzling on a night like this.
Wu Wei entered the Star Picking Tower, flew up to the eaves, and went to the brightest courtyard. I haven't gone far before I met Chen Rui who was guarding there.
"Wu Gongzi, it's late at night, why are you here?" is afraid of such an uninvited guest, Chen Rui personally guarded here. Sure enough, Miss Simu's people still came.
"I said hello to Da Sima, and I won't alarm Peilin. I just want to see from afar. Wu Wei's face was reflected with bright lights. But I can't feel the temperature of a star. It's very distressing to look at.
"That's good." Chen Rui didn't embarrass him, and let him get closer.
In the boudoir, the ladies talked and laughed, saying joyful and auspicious words.
The maidservants came and went, sending all kinds of gold, silver, beads and emeralds, showing Ganfu's concern for this daughter.
Originally, he should have been the husband who waited for the dawn to marry her and go home. But why, once something happens, it really can't be changed.
"Uh-huh." Gan Peilin covered his mouth and nose with the back of his hand and sneezed.
Xi Po smiled and closed her mouth: "Look, it must be our groom official who is thinking about our bride."
The laughter of the women decorates the winter night with extraordinary warmth.
Wu Wei seemed to have been drilled into his heart with an awl frozen into ice, and he could barely stand on his feet in pain.
I don't know how long I watched it, but the sky in the east gradually turned white.
Chen Rui came over at this time and whispered in his ear: "Wu Gongzi, the sky is almost dawn, it will inevitably have a bad impact on the eldest lady, you better go home first." If you want to watch the ceremony, it's never too late to come back. ”
"Thank you." When Wu Wei heard this, he turned around. He didn't want to watch the ceremony, or rather, he didn't dare to do it. How could he watch the woman he liked worship in the cave room with others?
It's better to leave quietly. Early morning in the last days of this winter.
When the sun was rising, it was already spring, everything was recovering, the ice and snow were melting, and Pei Lin was not the daughter of the boudoir, but someone else's wife.
Jiang's mansion, although lively, is also a depressed scene.
The people who came and went to congratulate had not yet entered the mansion, and the minions were also coming and going to arrange the entire mansion.
Xue Baoyun asked the ladies to take care of their own things, and after the bride entered the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, she would go to serve again, and she would not have to go back to Jiang's Mansion from now on.
Ao Li stood in front of people, reminiscing about the day she got married.
It was the happiest day of her life, but it was also the most humiliating day.
"Li'er." Xue Baoyun's eyebrows were solemn, and her tone was also hesitant: "Wait for you to go over and go to the back door of the new house." Don't meet the guests at the front door. ”
"Mother rest assured, Li'er understands." Ao Li said this on his lips, but he didn't feel it in his heart.
Although the ladies did not dare to speak, no one had any joy on their faces. I have forgotten how long it has been, Jiang Yu has not returned to Jiang Mansion, and has not come to see them. During these days, I can occasionally hear some things about him, but they are all accompanied by his deep affection for the daughter of Ganfu.
Once a woman becomes jealous, she has hatred in her heart.
This kind of hatred can erode flesh and skin, making people uncomfortable and uncontrollable.
At this time, Jiang Yu had already ridden a high-headed horse and led a sedan chair to stop outside the gate of Ganfu.
Xi Po and the ladies hugged Gan Peilin out. Yu Xi Po carried her on the sedan chair.
From beginning to end, Gan Peilin covered his hijab, and no one could see it at all.
Until she got into the sedan chair, her mind was still blank.
Jiang Yu said some words to Gan Yuntian, and promised to be good to Gan Peilin, so he took the person into a sedan chair and went to the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion.
The deafening sound of firecrackers attracted the people in the vicinity.
The housekeeper led the servants to distribute the cakes and sweets happily, and the laughter and laughter lasted for a long time.
Swallows and crispy cores, one left and one right, follow the sedan chair on both sides, smiling like two blooming flowers.
Not to mention Jiang Yu, who has always been cold-faced, he has never felt so warm in his heart as he is now. Spring is really coming.
Just as the team came to the bustling market, the sound of horses' hooves galloping was suddenly heard in the crowd.
Lu Yao rode up first, and when he saw that the person galloping over was Ao Xuan, he was not surprised at all.
Three or five Jiang Yu's people followed Lu Yao to block Ao Xuan from the Xi team.
Ao Xuan watched the sedan chair slowly leave, and his heart seemed to be gnawed by thousands of insects.
"Gan Peilin, you come down for me!" Ao Chau's voice could not penetrate the noisy gongs and drums and the deafening sound of firecrackers. He roared angrily, his eyes piercing with disappointment. "Gan Peilin, you come down! Give it to me. ”
Lu Yao angrily stopped Ao Xuan's horse, and his tone was cold and hard: "I said General Ao, you have not been summoned by the emperor to return to the imperial city without permission, and you still dare to disturb the royal marriage, are you trying to rebel?"
"Say whatever you want." Ao Xuan was ready to rush up and grab people. He pulled out the blade in his hand and swung it towards Lu Yao.
"Are you crazy?" Lu Yao roared at him: "You dare to show your blade!"
As soon as the words fell, many masked people came out of nowhere, rushing from all directions, helping Ao Yao and his party to stop Lu Yao and his party. Soon a gap opened.
Ao Xuan took advantage of the situation to pass through and rode directly on a horse to catch up with the sedan chair.
"Gan Peilin, you come down for me."
This time, Ao Su rode to the side of the brittle core and yelled at the sedan chair.
How could Gan Peilin not hear it. Not only did she hear it, but she immediately recognized it as Ao Xuan's voice. A bit of a surprise.
"Ao Gongzi, what are you going to do?" Crispy Core looked at him in a panic: "This is a good day for our eldest lady, you can't mess around."
More and more people poured in, but it didn't matter, Jiang Yu's people still controlled the scene. It's just that at this time, Jiang Yu can't calmly let Ao Xuan mess around. He turned his horse's head and let the sedan chair go first, waiting with a tense face for Ao Xuan to approach him step by step.
"General Ao, long time gone."
