Firecrackers sounded, drums were playing, and the pomp and circumstance of the Xia family's marriage almost alarmed the entire city and county, and everyone gathered in front of the Xia Mansion to watch the excitement.
"I wonder which son is lucky enough to marry Miss Xia?"
"It is said that it is a noble son of Yunlan County, I saw it when I came to visit last month, handsome and handsome, riding a white horse, just like Pan An Song Yu in the painting."
"That is, the Xia family is the richest man in our county, and Miss Xia is a beautiful woman with both talent and appearance, so naturally she has to find a suave son to be worthy."
Everyone began to praise Miss Xia's family, and they all talked about it with relish, in fact, they had never seen Miss Xia's appearance at all, but they could say a few words about talent. Because Miss Xia usually likes to play the piano, she often plays it in the back garden of the house, and many people have heard the graceful sound of the piano, even her fiancé Han Yulin also heard the elegant and Qingyue piano sound outside the flower wall, and specially came to meet Xia Yuanwai, so that there is today's marriage.
Xia Bihan sat in front of the red sandalwood carved makeup mirror with hot cheeks in a gorgeous wedding dress embroidered with gold embroidery, and the joy and excitement of the bride made her forget her cursed fate.
"Miss, Han Gongzi, what if he is scared?" The personal maid Hongxuan leaned down and whispered in Xia Bihan's ear.
Xia Bihan couldn't help but shudder, she was too familiar with that kind of shame and pain. Hongxuan tore off the red silk covered by the makeup mirror, and dragged Xia Bihan, who was wandering in the clouds, back to reality-
Xia Bihan, the daughter of Xia Mansion, is an ugly woman, which is the secret of Xia Mansion. But no matter how much you keep this secret, you can't keep it for eighteen years, and you have to get married after all.
Xia Yuanwai has always comforted her daughter, her appearance is not important, what men value most is the woman's inside. Xia Bihan already has a talent in music, since he was a child, he caresses the piano and plays the flute, Xia Yuan invited a famous teacher to dial it, Xia Bihan's piano skills are becoming more and more lean, and almost no one in several cities and counties can match.
"I can go to the back garden to play, and the sound of the piano is more and more beautiful through the fragrance of flowers."
This is a move by Xia Yuanwai, although the daughter's appearance is not good, but the talent is high, the beautiful sound of the piano can always attract the passing talents, and it can achieve a good relationship when it is time.
However, the talented and beautiful woman is an unchanging legend through the ages. The people's requirements for appearance have never been lowered.
Xia Bihan's piano sound did attract many young talents, but after all, they had never met, and no one dared to take a gamble. Xia Yuanwai rejected the matchmaker they sent to explore the wind, and waited for a good person of noble conduct to appear. Unbeknownst to them, some of them were even curious, and began to climb the back wall of their house to see the beauty.
"Oops......" Xia Bihan hurriedly covered her face with her sleeves, and the maid beside her, Hongxuan, looked back boldly.
Hongxuan has a good appearance, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a sinking fish and a wild goose in the play, and a shy flower in the closed moon. Although Xia Bihan is very envious, but the two have been together since childhood, sisterhood, she did not feel jealous, but taught her to read and play the piano, saying that no matter how beautiful a woman is, if she is not talented, she is like a flower without fragrance and a lantern without light, and it is also boring after admiration. Under Xia Bihan's suggestion, Hongxuan has more and more of the elegant charm of Miss Lady.
The two teenagers who climbed the wall were amazed by the beauty of the red silk, and couldn't help but applaud, but they "plopped-" twice and fell down. Soon, the rumor that Miss Xia was talented and beautiful spread throughout the city and county like she had grown wings. The people who seek relatives are almost stepping through the threshold of the summer mansion, and the summer staff does not know whether to be happy or worried.
Until the appearance of Han Yulin. He wore a white robe and saluted gracefully: "Xiaosheng came here to study, passing through your mansion, hearing the sound of the piano in the pink wall, three days around the beam is not enough to describe the graceful and tactful, Xiaosheng admired, if you can seek love as a wife, there is nothing else to ask for in this life." ”
This is the first son to abandon his appearance and only talk about talent. Xia Yuanwai was very moved, but he was not worried about his daughter marrying far away. After hesitating, the sound of the piano in the garden came, Han Yulin untied the bamboo flute on his waist, and played a song in an ensemble, and Xia Yuanwai nodded happily in agreement.
"Miss, if you scare Han Gongzi, how can it be good?" Hongxuan continued to ask, worried.
Xia Bihan looked at herself in the bronze mirror, the excitement and joy of the bride had flown away, and the beautiful red sleeves covered her ugly face, that young man, she had quietly glanced at the embroidery floor.
A merry young man in white, with handsome eyebrows and eyes, and a face like jade, he is so clear and good-looking, and he ......
"But he said he liked my piano sound." Xia Bihan comforted herself softly.
"Maybe it's because Miss has a reputation for being both talented and good-looking." Hongxuan frowned worriedly: "If you scare Han Gongzi, what should he do if he wants to withdraw from the marriage?" Miss Jieshi and the old man's face are damaged, and the entire city and county will say that our Xia family is not, and that we cheated on marriage. ”
"What, how could it be? I didn't ......" Xia Bihan heard this, and the person softened halfway, only to feel the sound of gongs and drums and joy: "Then what should I do?" Perhaps, it's not as bad as you think, Han Gongzi may ...... Accept me? ”
"Why don't we give it a try, Cave. On the night of the room, "Hong Xuan thought for a moment and whispered.
Late at night, Han Yulin walked into the cave room.
The dragon and phoenix red candle through the silk lampshade, dyed a room (waves) full of tenderness, touching the eyes are festive and delicate (charming) red, but the most intoxicating thing is the red sandalwood bed, the beautiful shadow.
"The past few days of travel have made the lady tired, let's rest early." Han Yulin said, sitting next to the beautiful woman and gently holding her slender jade hand.
Lifted up little by little, the red silk Xipa of the mandarin ducks playing in the water, the bride turned her head sideways shyly-
The groom's handsome face froze instantly, without showing a look of surprise and anger, as if trying to accept all this, Xia Bihan's hanging heart let go a little, and she was very grateful. However, the groom shook off her hand, turned away, and threw up.
Xia Bihan looked at her husband in front of her in shock, she never thought that she would be so ugly.
Daddy regarded her as the pearl of his palm, and the nurse and the servant woman at home also said gently that the young lady had a good heart and would definitely find a wishful husband and get along harmoniously. Unexpectedly, the truth is so cruel.
"Husband, husband, you don't matter, right?" Wearing a red wedding dress, Hong Xuan ran out from behind the screen and held Han Yulin's arm.
Han Yulin seemed to be pushed off a cliff, and grabbed the red silk in shock: "Lady, why do you want to scare me like this?" ”
