Chapter 4: Marriage

The days after that were really peaceful, but Meng Jia began to miss the 9-to-5 life before, because such days were too boring, in addition to Qingxi, she also had a few other maids, occasionally joking, chatting, and passing the time.

She had to eat with her parents every night, and if they hadn't brought it up from time to time, she would have forgotten that she was still waiting for an answer, and that there was one more thing to worry about.

But because she accepted it calmly, she didn't think much about it, and she didn't worry so much.

These days, she often goes to the garden with Qingxi to have some fun by herself. The two old men saw it in their eyes and were happy in their hearts.

After about half a month, Meng Jia also knew her name, Meng Qinghuan, in the usual conversations with the maids. The taste of the world is pure joy, and plain is true. The person who took this name is also well-intentioned, but with such a life experience, how can he escape it, it is also ironic.

Until one day at dinner, Meng Qinghuan didn't see the old man of the Meng family, so he looked at the woman with questioning eyes, and the woman also understood, and said with a smile: "The Son of Heaven passed him on, and it is estimated that there will be an explanation." ”

Qing Huan became nervous in her heart, as if she was going to announce the results of the exam.

The woman saw it and said with relief: "I won't know until tomorrow, don't worry, there will always be your father and me." She was not good at showing nervousness, so she could only smile and make the woman feel at ease.

The night suddenly became difficult, she didn't know what the outcome would be, she was worried, and there was no one to talk about, she was always uncomfortable when she was bored. Ben wanted to get up and go to the window to admire the moon, but he was afraid of waking up Qingxi who was sleeping on the couch, that little maid was tired all day, and she did her best, and she couldn't disturb her rest anymore."

Get through it," she thought to herself, "no matter how bad it is, it won't hurt much, I've died once, what else can I be afraid of." Self-soothing helped, and slowly fell asleep.

After breakfast the next day, Qinghuan couldn't wait to go to the woman's room, and she was now familiar with the way. Qingxi saw that she was in such a hurry, and knew what was important, so she hurriedly followed.

The women had just finished their meal when Qinghuan arrived. Meng Cheng saw that she was in such a hurry, so he retreated, let Qing Huan sit down, and said lovingly: "The Son of Heaven agrees to cancel your marriage with the crown prince, but it is for you to marry the third prince, the third prince has excellent conduct, and he can only win so much for his father." ”

Qing Huan didn't answer, she was still sorting out her thoughts, and the woman said at this time: "My son, although the third prince is not as good as the prince, but his character is also one in a million, and among the king's grandsons, I can't find anyone more upright than him." Marry the third prince, your father and I are relieved. ”

Qing Huan wasn't dissatisfied with this person, but he thought that if it was canceled, he wouldn't have to marry for the time being, but who knew that it was transferred to someone else. Since they all said yes, it should be okay, at least better than the stubborn prince.

"Thank you dad for worrying, the child is grateful." After saying that, he was blessed.

The woman hurriedly helped her up and said, "My son, I have also wronged you, and the wedding date is set in a hurry, and it is estimated that the preparations will not be too sufficient." ”

Qing Huan didn't care about this, but she comforted the woman, "If the third prince is really as good as you say, then he will definitely not treat me badly." Mother and rest assured. The two elders of the Meng family also put their minds at ease, and the three of them discussed the wedding for a while. Qing Huan withdrew.

The whole house was busy for the next month, and Qing Huan didn't know what they were busy with, as if they were the only ones who were bored.

On this day, Qingxi came back from the front and said to her with a smile: "The third prince has come to give a dowry." Qing Huan didn't care about this, and he didn't take it seriously, Qingxi continued: "Miss, don't you go to the front to take a look?" “

Although Qing Huan was also very curious about the appearance of the third prince, he didn't want to peek at it, so he said: "What's so good-looking, isn't it just two eyes and one mouth, can it be different?" When Qingxi heard this, he stopped talking.

Qing Huan understood her intentions and said, "Maybe you want to go and see it, if you want to go, go there, don't wait for everyone to leave." Qingxi was amused, and quickly ran down to call a few other people and went to the front. Qing Huan looked at her cheering and shook her head, feeling funny in her heart, she was still a child after all.

Later, when Qingxi came back, he said a lot of things, saying that the third prince was polite, and he was talented, and even the entourage of the third prince looked more pleasing to the eye than others. Qing Huan didn't interrupt her, and let her go, anyway, most of what the children said couldn't be taken seriously.

In a blink of an eye, it was this day, Qing Huan got up early, freshened up, and Xi Po combed her hair while still chanting words, but Qing Huan didn't listen to a word. Just looked at himself in the bronze mirror, slowly being dressed up and festive, and the people seemed to have changed, with big red happy words pasted all around, and the maids were busy around.

When the day was almost dawn, Qing Huan was also dressed up, with a golden hairpin on his head, and a phoenix crown. In the past, she also thought about holding a traditional Chinese wedding when she got married, wearing Hanfu. I didn't expect this wish to come true.

With the support of everyone, Qing Huan went to the front hall to say goodbye to his parents. The woman was already in tears at this time, and she couldn't say a word when she held Qing Huan's hand, Meng Cheng was a man, and she was choking up when she spoke, and Qing Huan unconsciously shed tears. Although they are not related by blood, they take good care of themselves, Qinghuan thinks of his mother, and tears can't stop staying.

This time, I don't know when I will be reunited, maybe there are few opportunities to see each other again in this life, Qing Huan only feels that his heart is hollowed out and he can't breathe.

The woman can make it difficult to give up when she sees this, although Meng Cheng knows the reason, but when she thinks that her daughter has almost nothing to do with her after she gets married, she will inevitably sigh, but she is in the way of everyone, and there are no old tears.

Seeing this, Xi Po hurriedly came over to play a round and sent the bride to the sedan chair. Before leaving, Qing Huan knelt down to worship his parents, and before covering the Xipa, he saw Meng Cheng supporting the woman, the woman was already crying so much that she couldn't help herself, Qing Huan only felt more and more uncomfortable in her heart, and tears rolled down in large pieces. It wasn't until she sat in the sedan chair for a long time that her mood slowly calmed down.

She is now considered to be an eight-carrying sedan chair, the Ming media is marrying, the suona outside is shaking, and the street is full of people, she is almost numb, only hearing countless buzzing voices in her ears, what others say, she will do it, a series of mechanical procedures, until the end of the worship ceremony, was sent into the cave room, and then quieted down.

She was finally able to sit quietly on her own, adjust her mood, and accept the fact. It didn't take long for Xi Po to come in, chattering about a bunch of things in the house, Qing Huan couldn't listen to it at all, Xi Po said at this time: "The prince will come in in a while, Miss should be ready." ”

Sure enough, it didn't take long for the third prince to come to the cave room surrounded by a group of people, he gently picked up the Xipa, Qing Huan only felt that his eyes suddenly lit up, but he didn't look up, at this time someone handed over two glasses of wine, and it was another ceremony, Qing Huan finished it mechanically, and never raised his eyes.

Then a group of people went out in a mess, and Qinghuan, who had uncovered Xipa, sat down on the bed again, rubbed his temples, and now it was really clean.

Qing Huan looked at the room, and the difference from his boudoir was not very big, that is, this room was obviously larger, and the decoration was more luxurious.

She only felt that her stomach was empty, so she went outside to find something to eat, the wedding candle on the table outside was burning little by little, Qing Huan remembered what Xi Po said, and it would not be over until the third prince came to have the same room.

She wasn't worried, she just wanted to fill her stomach, so she took some of the things on the table and ate them. Then it was a long time of boredom, and she didn't know how long it would take, and Qingxi was gone. I want to wash and sleep by myself, but this dress is too complicated, I can't take it off, and I can't sleep with my clothes, so I'm very entangled.

In the end, I could only sit helplessly and wait, just watching the red candle slowly burn out, and when sleepiness swept in, someone pushed the door in.
