69. Marriage
Sixty-ninth marriage
When King An woke up the next day, there was nothing unusual. Xiao Dong couldn't eat it, and An Wang remembered what he said yesterday. Some people are drunk and can't remember anything, while others are sober from beginning to end, but they can't control their actions.
Xiao Dong made fun of King An a few words, and served the porridge with his own hands. Zhao Lu also asked for a bowl, tasted it, and praised: "This winter melon porridge is good." ”
Xiao Dong smiled: "It's not winter melon, it's watermelon peel and pear boiling." ”
"Huh?" Zhao Lu came to eat fine clothes and jade, although he had been to Ye An to practice, but he had never eaten watermelon skin.
"Father drank a little more yesterday, so it's better to eat something light and go to the fire today."
King An smiled, and Xiao Dong also smiled.
None of that matters.
The important thing is that they are a family, and King An is the father of her and Zhao Lu.
She just needs to remember that.
The days are not fast, whether they are slow or not, as soon as Xiaodong thinks of his marriage, he feels that it is far away, as if it will never come.
She is like a schoolgirl who is going on a long trip, both apprehensive and expectant.
The county lord is out of the cabinet, the clothes are customized, the wedding dress and hijab shoes are all embroidered by Xiaodong himself, and a woman's life is the most grand.
The wedding dress had been set up and hung on the shelves, layer upon layer, with brilliant gold embroidery, and the bright red silk satin looked crimson in the candlelight, with a kind of flowing halo on it. The phoenix crown is placed aside, and the pearl is silky, brilliant and gorgeous.
Xiao Dong stood there barefoot, taking a serious look at the wedding dress.
For a moment she could barely believe that she had embroidered it.
It's so beautiful, it's gorgeous, it's so unreal.
"County Lord?"
Hongfu came in with a lamp, and saw Xiaodong standing there, slightly stunned, and then smiled: "Can't you sleep?" She wanted to make another joke and ask her if she couldn't wait to be a bride. But looking at the look on Xiao Dong's face, he was more confused than shy, so he swallowed the words. Put down the lamp, pick up the clothes and put them on Xiaodong: "Although the weather is warm, it is still cold at night. Why don't you even wear socks? ”
"I got up when I was stuffy."
Is it true that you are going to get married tomorrow?
Xiao Dong really wanted to pinch himself to prove that this was not a dream.
Hongfu persuaded softly: "Mother Hu and Lady Jiang have both said that they will go to bed early tonight, and they will have to toss all day tomorrow." If your eyes are red, what will you do tomorrow? ”
Anyway, it's not that Qin Lie hasn't seen her, not to mention boiling red eyes, it's just that he hasn't seen her even more sloppy, he hasn't seen her since he was a child, what kind of image do you talk about.
But when Hongfu said this, Xiaodong could only nod.
"Lie down, if you feel bored, I'll open the east window again."
"Okay."
Hongfu served Xiao Dong to lie down, and just stood up, the corner of her clothes was pulled by Xiao Dong.
"Sister Hongfu, you lie down with me for a while."
Hongfu turned her head, Xiaodong grew more and more beautiful, a face was like a hibiscus flower blooming in the courtyard, the candlelight shone on her face, like a beautiful jade halo, and the light in her eyes flickered slightly, looking very confused.
Are you scared?
Even if you marry a childhood sweetheart who grew up together, you will be afraid of leaving the palace where you have been living and adapting to a completely unfamiliar life.
She whispered, "I'll open the window and come back." ”
When the window was opened, the wind blowing in from outside was not cool, and it was like a gentle palm on the face, soft and pleasant. In the twilight of spring, it is an excellent weather, lukewarm and hot, some brides get married in the summer, wear thick wedding dresses, and the sedan chair is not breathable, and it is not uncommon for people to pass out in the past.
On this day that the prince picked, he probably thought about this.
Hongfu took off her shoes beside the bed, Xiao Dong gave way, and she lay down outside, pulling the quilt and covering it.
"The county lord doesn't need to panic, everything is properly prepared, you just have to dress up and get on the sedan chair tomorrow." My uncle and you grew up together, and you know your temperament and personality. The house over there is also close to the palace, if you want to think about the prince and the prince, we can come back every day. ”
Xiao Dong smiled, knowing that Hongfu intended to say this to relieve her.
"How can a married daughter run to her mother's house every day."
"Huh? But no one said that you can't run back every day? ”
"Hmm...... I just have a little bit of a ...... in my heart Not very steady. ”
"You're reluctant, aren't you?"
"Maybe. Even though I was only married a few miles away, it felt like I was in another world. I always feel that I will not be my father's daughter from now on......"
"Don't think about it, don't say that you are just married, even if you go to the edge of the sky, you are still the pearl of the prince's palm. Even if you are willing, the prince is still reluctant. Otherwise, why did the prince put the new house so close? It's not that I can't bear you. ”
"Well...... Xiao Dong turned over and lay on his side: "After I left, what did my father and brother eat and wear every day...... I can't do it anymore. By the way, in your hometown, what is the custom of your daughter going out? ”
"Ah, I can't say this well, I just remember that it was lively, the firecrackers were crackling, the children were drilling everywhere, and there were smiling faces everywhere...... The bride is going to cry and marry when she gets on the sedan chair......"
"Do you want to cry?"
"It's all like this, but there are exceptions, the slave maid sent her cousin to get married, and the mother-in-law's house is far away from her mother's house, so you have to go for two or three days. She wasn't afraid, she was so funny by us when she was dressing up that she couldn't cry when she went out, but she couldn't cry, or her cousin pinched her, and she howled twice. ”
"Sister Hongfu lied to me, how can there be anything like that."
"No, it's true."
Xiao Dong laughed for a while, and his sleepiness gradually came up. Hongfu spoke for a while, didn't listen to Xiaodong's response, and turned her head to see that she was already asleep. One hand is placed next to the pillow and the other is pressed against the chest.
Hongfu carefully put her hand back into the quilt, and Xiao Dong grunted, rubbing her cheek against her hand.
Hongfu felt that her demeanor and movements at this time were particularly like plum blossoms.
It is said that the owner of Wuxiao, the lazy and coquettish appearance of the plum blossom, is really similar to Xiaodong.
She tiptoed out of bed, put the tent, and came out with the lamp.
Hu Shi raised his head: "Sleeping?" ”
"Well, asleep. Mother Hu should also go to sleep. ”
Hu Shi smiled: "I can't sleep either, so I just got up and sat down for a while, estimating that many people in the palace can't sleep well tonight." ”
Hongfu went and poured the tea.
The prince and the prince, eighty percent can't sleep tonight, right?
"The county lord has no sisters, and the second aunt and grandmother of the Shen family originally said that they were going to come early, but they couldn't come because they were stumped by something at home. Otherwise, she could be a companion with the county lord, talking and laughing, and the county lord would not be panicked. ”
"Exactly. By the way, tomorrow ......" Hongfu whispered: "Our palace is a clan again, and there are guests, it is very lively, I don't know how the new house is going?" ”
is worried that Qin Lie has no foundation in Beijing, there are not many guests, and it is not lively enough.
"You don't have to worry about that." Hu Shi smiled and said: "My uncle has a wide range of friends, and it will never be cold again." Those girls, if I can't take care of them tomorrow, you have to watch them more closely, don't let them be rude. ”
"No, it's all Mother Hu, you are the one who made it? I have been taught beforehand. ”
"There's nothing wrong with being careful."
"Yes, I'll pay attention to it the most."
Xiao Dong had several dreams in one night, bizarre, for a while he felt that he was married, but he was not wearing a red wedding dress, but a snow-white wedding dress, the groom drove a car to get married, Xiao Dong tried to identify who this person was, but he couldn't see his face clearly, but he felt that it was this person in his heart, and put his hand in the hand of that person, and his heart was indescribably calm.
For a while, it seemed that she had become a mother, and a fleshy child opened her hand and pounced on her to hug her, Xiao Dong was a little puzzled at first, when did he give birth to the child? Then I suddenly felt that, yes, this is indeed my own child. The child was white and fat, and giggled at her with his toothless mouth open. Xiao Dong's heart was novelty and love, and he coaxed the child for a while, only to remember that he didn't know men and women yet, and untied the swaddling clothes to look inside.
Before she could see clearly, someone called softly: "County Lord? Princess? ”
Xiao Dong woke up as soon as he opened his eyes.
Hongfu whispered, "It's time to get up." The Empress Dowager in the palace has already sent someone. ”
Before dawn, Xiao Dong took the face towel handed by Hongfu and wiped his face, much more sober than just now.
This day was even more busy and tired than Xiao Dong expected, it took a long time just to put on makeup, Xiao Dong had seen a few brides before, and secretly joked that people's faces were painted so white, like brushing the wall, after putting on makeup, all the personal characteristics were gone, all of them were white and red mouths, like dolls from the assembly line. Now it's finally her turn, fortunately, her identity is here, even if the person who gave her makeup didn't accept the red envelope handed by Hu, she was full of auspicious words, her movements were light and gentle, and she never dared to make any stumbling blocks in secret. Then there is the combing of hair, Xiao Dong's hair is black and soft, just not dense enough. I don't know how the female officer who combed her hair got it, but she didn't see her fill in the wig, so she combed Xiao Dong out of a very regular double phoenix bun, the bun looked round and plump, and it was visually as if her hair had become thicker all of a sudden.
After tossing and turning, she finally put on the wedding dress, Xiaodong was already sitting on her buttocks, and opened her hands to let others put the wedding dress on her one by one.
Shen Fang also rushed over, smiled and said a few auspicious words to Xiao Dong, and comforted and admonished him. The house was full of people, Xiao Dong only felt dazzled, the princesses of various families, the princesses of the county, the princesses of the princesses, the princesses of the princess, the princesses of the princess and several princesses also came. The news from outside came one by one, saying that the groom had arrived at the gate of the house, and the prince and a group of clan brothers were taking the examination for the groom, and after a while, news came, saying that the groom had entered the first door, and they were troubled by the prince. Several county lords and county lords who were younger than Xiao Dong came out with flower sticks, saying that if the groom dared not give them a big red envelope, he would be beaten up. One of them grinned and shouted at Xiao Dong: "Sister, don't worry, we won't hit him too hard, we won't break him." ”
