Chapter 111: The bride puts on makeup

On the sixth day of the sixth month of June, it is advisable to get married.

At the end of the day, at the turn of day and night, Gu Qingyi, who couldn't sleep last night and finally fell asleep, was awakened by Mama Xu not long after she fell asleep. She was supported by Qiu Yan and Handong left and right in a daze, and the little maid took warm water to rinse her mouth and wash her face, and brought hot soup to take a bath, and she completely sobered up.

Today is her wedding day.

As soon as she put on her middle clothes, Siqing and Zhilan stepped forward to put on her wedding dress for her. The wedding dress was a large dress, heavy and cumbersome, and it took two quarters of an hour for four maidservants to serve it. In the gap between wearing the wedding dress, Mama Xu fed her a few mouthfuls of pastries, and waited for her to rinse her mouth before saying, "Although the bride is not allowed to eat on the wedding day, but girl, you have a weak body, you have to be careful, so you can't take care of so many taboos." ”

Mama Xu meant something, and Gu Qingyi also understood, so she nodded solemnly, "Mama, I know." ”

After eating the pastry, her mouth was very dry, but Mama Xu didn't dare to feed her water, so she could only take water and dip it on her lips, which was better than nothing.

After the dowry was dressed, there was a thin voice outside the house, Gu Qingyi hurriedly asked Qiu Yan to open the door, and a rich and blessed old lady came to the door. The old lady's hair is gray, her head is neatly combed with silver threads, her eyebrows are kind, and even the old wrinkles on her face are indescribably peaceful, which makes people look extremely comfortable.

The old lady was dressed in a festive silver-red dress, with a kind and joyful smile on her face, and as soon as she saw Gu Qingyi, she said, "The girl is very happy." ”

Gu Qingyi hurriedly saluted, "Qingyi has seen my uncle and grandmother. You are tired of coming over early in the morning to comb your granddaughter's hair. ”

The old lady is not the Gu family, but the uncle of Dingyuan Marquis Zhou Yan, Ke Shi, an old man with all five blessings, and hereby asks her to come over today to comb her hair and open her face. It is worth mentioning that she is also the guest of honor at Gu Qingyi's recognition ceremony, and she can be regarded as a representative of the Zhou family who has a good impression of her.

The old lady hurriedly helped her up and said with a smile, "Today is Yi'er's big day, don't be tired of yourself." Besides, the old body often combs the bride's hair and opens her face, but it is the first time to comb the princess's hair. This is a blessing that no one else can ask for, where to work. ”

Gu Qingyi's face suddenly turned red, the old lady smiled again when she saw this, took her hand and sat down in front of the dresser, the comb grate made of ivory had been neatly placed on it, the old lady first used the comb to pass her hair, and her mouth also recited auspicious words fluently, "Once you comb your head, you don't have to worry about being rich; The second comb is combed to the hair, disease-free and worry-free; Three combs combed to the head, many sons and many longevity. "Three times, and then changed the grate," and then combed to the end, and raised the case and raised the eyebrows; The second comb is combed to the tail, and the wings fly together; Three combs to the end, forever knotted with one heart. There is a head and a tail, and we are rich and noble in this life. ”

After combing her hair, the old lady asked the maid to give Gu Qingyi a fragrant sideburn, and she picked up the five-color cotton yarn on the tray and began to twist the noodles. Fortunately, Gu Qingyi's face was smooth and tender, and there were no fine hairs, so he was spared the pain of hanging noodles.

After twisting the face, start applying makeup. Fu powder, rouge, and eyebrow pencil brushes filled the dressing table, Gu Qingyi's skin was originally fair and delicate, her eyebrows were not described, and her lips were red without dyeing. The old lady only needs to lightly spread the powder, and the jade face is natural; Eyebrow pencil sweeping, distant mountains and green daisies; Sip the lipstick slightly and pluck the cherry lips. Then the white cheeks were faintly pink, and the lacquer-like eyes were full of brilliance, and between the anticipation, the spirit was flying.

The old lady nodded with satisfaction and praised, "The old body combs the hair and makeup of many brides, and after careful comparison, Yi'er is the most handsome." ”

Gu Qingyi's face flew a flush, and she lowered her head as shy and introverted, "Uncle and grandmother will make fun of me." ”

The old lady laughed more and more happily when she heard this, "Where is the joke, this is the truth." ”

Fortunately, at this time, the maid had already pulled her hair, and she did not delay any longer, and hurriedly asked people to take the phoenix crown. The moment the phoenix crown box was opened, a brilliant light suddenly bloomed in the room where the fire candles were shaking, and everyone subconsciously held their breath, looking at the phoenix crown with golden phoenix beads in amazement, and forgot words for a while.

When the phoenix crown was sent, it was just in the afternoon, when it was inspected, the red gold phoenix shining in the sun was amazing enough, and I didn't think that in the dimly lit room, the night pearl was reflected in the clear light, and it was dozens of times more beautiful.

A little maid in the house was unstable and couldn't help but exclaim, "It's so beautiful!" ”

This exclamation broke the stagnation in the room, and the old lady also came back to her senses, her expression still with the amazement that had not gone away, and sighed, "Such a good-looking phoenix crown old body is only seen, even if it is the craftsmanship of the palace fabrication office, it is nothing more than that." ”

Gu Qingyi got married in his last life, and the phoenix crown was built in the place where it was made, and the craftsmanship and shape were far inferior to this, and I don't know where the King of Qin found the craftsmen to create such a fine and beautiful phoenix crown. Just as the old lady asked about the craftsman, Gu Qingyi replied with some embarrassment, "The phoenix crown was sent by King Qin, and the grandson didn't know about it." ”

The old lady was both surprised and delighted when she heard this, but she didn't expect Gu Qingyi to be so popular with King Qin, and even the phoenix crown was specially built, and it seems that she will not be spoiled if she marries today. She didn't know that the wedding dress on Gu Qingyi's body was also the handiwork of King Qin, otherwise she would have to add a bargaining chip in her heart.

Knowing that the phoenix crown was precious, the old lady was extremely cautious, carefully took out the phoenix crown from the box and put it on Gu Qingyi's head, looking at the beauty in front of her who was becoming more and more radiant, she couldn't help but secretly admire in her heart, no wonder she could get King Qin's blue eyes, with such a posture, I am afraid that it is difficult for a woman in the world to match.

The old lady said a few auspicious words to Gu Qingyi, received a letter of happy money and left with merit.

Soon after, Zhang's and stepmother's Mrs. Zhou all arrived at the bride's boudoir, as a mother-in-law, Zhang's needs to be lectured before her daughter gets married, but with Mrs. Zhou on her side, she didn't dare to say anything excessive, just said a few perfunctory words and got up to leave, leaving only Mrs. Zhou and Gu Qingyi in the room.

Seeing her stepmother's slightly red eyes, Gu Qingyi couldn't help but moisten her eyes, and choked up, "A-Niang, I can't bear you." ”

Mrs. Zhou saw that she was about to cry, so she hurriedly blocked the falling tears with a handkerchief, and said, "Today is your big day, don't cry and wear makeup and become an ugly bride." ”

Gu Qingyi had to force back her tears, her eyes were misty and she looked at Mrs. Zhou, Mrs. Zhou withdrew her handkerchief, patted her hand and said, "A-Niang has already said what should be said, and I only wish you a smooth life and joy and worry-free from now on." A-Niang was satisfied. ”

Gu Qingyi kept nodding and holding her hand tightly. The mother and daughter didn't have time to talk, because at this time, the second uncle of Kung Fu, Su Shi, sisters, Gu Wenyin, Zhou Huiru and others came, and Gu Qingyi had to restrain her different colors and happily entertain the guests.

The second aunt was originally close to her, and she was only happy to see her at this time, as for Gu Wenyin and Zhou Huiru and other people with ghosts, don't mention it, although they said these festive words, the jealousy and resentment in their eyes were undoubtedly revealed. Since entering the house, their eyes have been glued to the phoenix crown and the wedding dress, and they can't wait to pull them all off and hang them on their own bodies.

Zhou Huiru was preparing for marriage, and the wedding dress needed to be embroidered by herself, at this time, looking at the brilliant wedding dress embroidered on Gu Qingyi's body, she finally couldn't help but speak, "The colorful embroidery on my sister's wedding dress looks like palace embroidery, I'm afraid it wasn't embroidered by my sister herself, right?" ”

According to the etiquette system, the bride's wedding dress needs to be done by herself, and this time she brought it up to make it clear that she wanted to pick thorns.

Mrs. Zhou didn't expect Zhou Huiru to be so presumptuous, not to mention her shallow eyelids, and narrow-minded, she would make trouble on a good day, and she didn't take her as a grandmother in her eyes. Is it true that when she leaves the house for a few years, she will lose her prestige?

Gu Qingyi hurriedly grabbed her stepmother who was about to get angry, and looked at Zhou Huiru's gaze a little cold, "Sister, don't you know that the prince's wedding ceremonies are all undertaken by the Ministry of Rites?" Don't say it's a dowry, even the wedding dresses of the prince and princess are undertaken by the palace manufacturing office. I didn't sew this wedding dress myself, so what is there to make a fuss about. ”

It was also because King Qin didn't want to trouble, since the marriage, these rituals have been personally handled, and the Ministry of Rites can't intervene at all, and the erectional place is useless, so it seems that her outfit is particularly "unruly".

Zhou Huiru's face was suddenly blue and white, although she was the daughter of the Hou Mansion, she was just a lowly concubine, she was not favored and rarely socialized, naturally no one had popularized the etiquette system with her, and she made a big joke at this time.

Faced with a room full of strange eyes, she could only endure the shame and helplessness, and smiled stiffly, "It's a pity that I have been married like this in my life, and I can't embroider the wedding dress myself." ”

It's all embarrassing to this point, she is still a dead duck with a hard mouth.

Mrs. Zhou's face was completely pulled down, and she said coldly, "Okay, Huiru, you are a daughter to be married, since you have seen Yi'er, you should not stay for a long time, so let's go home." Come on, send the second lady back! ”

Zhou Huiru's face was as wonderful as if she had overturned the color palette, as a concubine, she did not dare to disobey her mother's authority, so she could only be swept out of the house with a humiliated face. Seeing Zhou Huiru end up like this, Gu Wenyin, who was still about to move, immediately stopped, said a few auspicious words in her heart, and left in a hurry with an excuse.

Without the evil troublemakers, the atmosphere of the room returned to peace and joy. Everyone unanimously stopped mentioning the two of them, and only cared about saying auspicious words, or teaching the way to govern the family.

Gu Qingyi sat with him throughout the whole process, with a heavy phoenix crown on his head, and sat motionless, for fear of wrinkling the dress and getting tired and sore back. It's just that the etiquette is like this, she doesn't dare to say anything, she can only secretly hope that the welcoming team will arrive soon and rescue her from the sea of suffering.

Just thinking about it, there was a faint sound of gongs, drums and suona in her ears, and she couldn't help but feel energetic for a while, and she heard a burst of cheers outside, "The groom is here!" ”

Gu Qingyi couldn't help but show a relieved smile, finally came.
