Chapter Forty-Six: Marriage (II)
There was a little girl's respectful and slightly trembling voice at the door:
"Auntie, Uncle Ding asked to see the girl, and now she is waiting outside the courtyard."
Xiao Ye fell to the ground, and when she heard Uncle Ding's three words, she trembled slightly, Li Qing looked at her for a while, and nodded at Mama Zheng, Mama Zheng raised her voice and said:
"Invite him in."
Li Qing turned his head, looked at Xiao Ye, and gently commanded:
"You go down first."
Xiao Ye trembled and got up and hurriedly retreated.
Ding Yi and Lian Qing lowered their heads slightly and entered the east chamber, Li Qing saw Lian Qing following Ding Yi, with a bright smile on his face, straightened up on the couch, and greeted with a smile:
"No need to be polite, Mama quickly let them get up, Uncle Qing, please sit down."
Lian Qing smiled and thanked him, but he insisted on refusing to sit, only standing with his hands down, Ding Yi's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise, but his face was still with a respectful smile, he quietly took half a step back, and stood behind Lian Qing, Lian Qing glanced back at Ding Yi, Ding Yi smiled respectfully, and motioned him to come, Lian Qing nodded with a smile, and turned around to report:
"Miss Yu, the slave and Ding Yi led the envoy, found the palace housekeeper Sun Yi, and reported to the third master, the third master ordered, in addition to the eight little girls bought by the slave, and then send some grandmothers and rough envoys from the palace to wait for the girl, the big housekeeper Sun picked a good person and sent it over, eight little girls, the slave and Ding Yi have already brought in, please show the girl."
Li Qing's eyes flashed with a smile, and he said softly:
"It's hard to celebrate Uncle Qing, Ding Yi has also worked hard, the little girl will be handed over to Mama Zheng, you don't need too many people, and it saves me from making noise, the people who were waiting in this yard, Ding Yi took it out to the second grandmother."
Li Qing turned his head, looked at Mama Zheng and commanded:
"Mama go and ask Xiao Ye, if she is willing to stay, let her stay and wait."
Mama Zheng bent her knees and agreed, Lian Qing listened with a smile while looking at Li Qing carefully, Li Qing said with a smile:
"Uncle Qing, don't worry, I'm fine."
Ding Yi stood with his hands down, hesitated for a moment, stepped forward half a step forward and reported with a smile:
"Miss Yu, about the wedding, the master instructed the third master to be in charge, the third master has just arrived at the Wen Mansion, and discussed with the old lady Wen, and the ceremony will be finished before the festival."
Mama Zheng opened her mouth in some surprise, but she didn't make a sound, Li Qing listened indifferently, as if listening to something irrelevant, Lian Qing saw it in her eyes, and felt sad in her heart, Miss was too indifferent to her own affairs, and she didn't know if it was fortunate or unfortunate, if it wasn't for the bloody case at the foot of Qishan, if Mrs. was still there...... Madame, that simple and happy girl, who was always in high spirits, if he had been more determined and stopped her, she would not have died, and Mademoiselle would not have been sick...... Maybe everything will be different, back then, back then...... Lian Qing only felt that his eyes were blurred,
"Uncle Qing?"
Li Qing screamed softly, Lian Qing came to his senses, and said with a smile:
"The young lady is getting married, I am happy, and the slave is very happy......"
Li Qing looked at Lian Qing with a slight smile, his eyes were clear, and he said in a brisk tone:
"This is indeed a great joy, and I am also very happy, the dowry will bother Uncle Qing to worry more, and Uncle Qing will discuss it with Mama Zheng about clothes, jewelry, and household utensils, and it doesn't hurt to prepare more. I also have to bother Lao Dingyi, find someone who understands the rules to help Uncle Qing refer to one or two, we first arrived in Korea, although we are unfamiliar, but we don't want to make mistakes in the rules, make people laugh, and tired your prince is faceless. ”
Ding Yi listened to Li Qing's instructions with some dumbfounded, and had seen those who were generous, but who was so generous that he arranged his dowry without the slightest shyness, where had he heard of it? She even said that she was also very happy! Joy can't say no! Ding Yi looked at Li Qing with a strange expression, Li Qing raised his eyebrows, the corners of his mouth pulled out a smile, and shouted in a long voice:
"Uncle Ding?"
Ding Yi came to his senses and hurriedly replied loudly:
"Yes!"
Mama Zheng was taken aback by Ding Yi, thinking about her girl's style, it is no wonder that Ding Yi lost her temper, looking at Ding Yi's somewhat lost soul, Mama Zheng couldn't help laughing.
Lian Qing and Ding Yi said goodbye and withdrew, Li Qing showed a tired face, Xiao Ye reported through the curtain that the kitchen sent bird's nest porridge, Li Qing took the bird's nest porridge, sniffed it carefully, and then ate it slowly, Mama Zheng looked at her with concern and said:
"Girl, let's sleep for a while, these little girls will wait for the girl to have the spirit."
Li Qing nodded and said tiredly:
"Mama arranged for them to be, with some heart to train, the girl sent by the palace, it should be there in a while, Mama also settled first, this main house, except for you and Xiao Ye, from the eight little girls among the four more to come in and wait, except for these six people, no one else is allowed to enter this main house half a step without being summoned! The remaining four girls were going back and forth to pass the word and call at the door of the main house. Xiao Ye, Mama pay attention and take a look again. Mama, work hard for a few more days, and when Qiuyue and Liuli arrive, you will be able to rest for a day or two. ”
Mama Zheng nodded in response:
"Rest assured, girl."
As he spoke, he helped Li Qing into the inner room, removed the hairpin ring, and waited for Li Qing to fall asleep.
Li Qing woke up and felt that people were much more comfortable, lying on the bed, taking the pillow away, stretching her hand over her head, tensing her toes, stretching her body, Mama Zheng gently lifted the curtain, saw Li Qing woke up, smiled while hanging the curtain, and said:
"It's already Shen Chu, is the girl hungry?"
Li Qing nodded hurriedly, Mama Zheng turned around and called the little girl, staring at them and waiting for Li Qing to wash and change clothes, a thirteen or fourteen-year-old little girl knelt on the ground with a brass basin with hot water in both hands, and raised the basin with both hands over her head, another little girl of about the same age held a tray with a handkerchief and a pot and stood beside her with her head bowed, Xiao Ye took a large handkerchief and spread it in front of Li Qing, waiting for Li Qing to wash.
Mama Zheng took a honey-colored brocade jacket, and came over with a silver embroidered hundred butterfly skirt on a white background, and waited for Li Qing to put it on, Li Qing frowned slightly and looked at these two clothes, Mama Zheng explained with a smile:
"Just after the beginning, Sun Yi, the chief housekeeper of the palace, personally sent four old mothers, ten rough maids and mothers-in-law to come over, and also sent some clothes, jewelry, food, plus twenty fifty-year-old red fruits, saying that the prince ordered, let the waiting girl drink a cup of red fruit soup every day, a total of ten sets of clothes were sent, all winter clothes, according to the size of the girl, the needlework room was ordered to rush out a few days ago, and some, plus the big wool clothes worn outside, the New Year's auspicious clothes, and then sent over after a few days."
Li Qing looked at the clothes carefully, smiled lightly, and did not speak, Mama Zheng took a rosewood carved inlay Luo Tian makeup box again, opened it to Li Qing, Li Qing flicked the full jewelry with her hand, took a pair of white jade butterflies out, and Mama Zheng smiled and inserted it into her bun.
The little girl was holding a target glass, Li Qing looked at herself who was slightly blurred in the bronze mirror, she had hardly looked at herself seriously for more than half a year after joining the official, this face was much thinner than before she entered the official, and her skin had almost recovered, but, it was still too pale, her lips were almost bloodless, just a touch of pink, she bit her lip fiercely, and the gorgeous blood color immediately spread, reflecting the pale face, and a strange beauty emerged, only the eyelashes, as if they were thicker, wrapped in black and white, The eyes are deep and abnormal, and the whole face seems to be the only ones left.
Li Qing looked at herself in the mirror blankly, Mama Zheng looked at her with a painful heart, was silent for a while, and said with a smile:
"The girl is just too thin, and now she is more stable, the girl needs to eat more and take care of herself."
Li Qing came back to his senses, smiled and blinked, turned around and instructed Xiao Ye:
"I was hungry, so I sent someone to the kitchen and asked them to bring some food."
Xiao Ye respectfully agreed to go out, Li Qing looked back at Mama Zheng and smiled:
"Mama asked people to prepare pen and ink, and asked Lian Qing to buy me some medicinal herbs to come in, and my creams and creams are going to be matched!"
When Mama Zheng heard this, her eyes immediately turned into a slit with laughter, and the girl began to think about doing these "beauty" things!
Not long after, a few mothers-in-law in the kitchen sent the food over, the little girl took it, took it into the east chamber, took it out one by one and put it on the kang table in the east chamber, Li Qing smiled and looked at the four dishes and a pot on the table, not the one color of oil meat a few days ago, it looked delicate and light, there were actually dishes of green vegetables, the venison pot was slightly rolling, the soup was white and fragrant, and there was no oil star at all, Li Qing smiled and pointed to the plate of vegetables, tilted his head and looked at Mama Zheng and said:
"Mama, you see, there are greens, but ...... Hey. ”
Mama Zheng handed over the rice and replied with a smile:
"This rice, it's still rouge glutinous, I didn't expect Wenfu to be so generous."
Xiao Ye laughed beside him, and said carefully:
"The grandmother in the kitchen said that this rice was sent by the prince to the housekeeper Sun and assigned to the girl to eat, and there is no such thing in the Wen Mansion."
Li Qing looked at the lilac crystal rice grains in the bowl, smelled them, and instructed Xiao Ye with a smile:
"This rice steamed rice is not good, let's just use it to cook porridge in the future."
Xiao Ye bent his knees and went out to pass the word.
Li Qing ate slowly, the little girl cleaned up, Xiaoye made tea and served it, Li Qing held the tea, leaned on the big pillow, and drank the tea comfortably, Mama Zheng asked with a smile:
"Girl, do you have the energy to take a look at the few girls sent by Lian Qing at this time? There are also a few grandmothers sent by the housekeeper Sun, who are also waiting to meet the girl. ”
Li Qing nodded, put down the cup and ordered:
"Let me take a look at the four girls that Mama picked first."
Mama Zheng responded with a smile and called the four girls over, Li Qing looked at the four girls standing in a row in front of her, all of them were thirteen or fourteen years old, combing double buns, wearing white silk jackets, green satin tooth pinching vests, and white silk skirts, which looked clean and refreshing.
Li Qing smiled and said gently:
"How old are you? What's their name? Where is home? What has been done before? What will they do? Let's talk about them one by one. ”
