Chapter 554: Marrying a Daughter
Compared with when she first arrived in the Central Plains, Xie Honglin's health was already very good. Not only can she stand up, but she can also walk a few steps with the help of others, and during the day, she asked Huo Qingzhou to help her and go to the front hall to see Zhan Chen.
Therefore, before the fourth watch, she was supported by people, step by step, slowly and difficult to Huo Roufeng's yard.
She has to walk to comb her daughter's hair, which is her responsibility and strength as a mother, and she wants to walk over in person, with dignity.
The two courtyards were very close, but much farther than the antechamber of the same courtyard.
For others, it was just a short journey, but for Xie Honglin, it was like a thorn paving the road, after the first dozen steps, every step she took would bring a burst of pain, as the pain became more and more intense, the soles of her feet gradually weakened, she put the weight of her body on the arm supported by the maids, and almost staggered into her daughter's house.
Huo Roufeng had already been called up by the maid, she had already bathed in fragrant soup, and now she was wearing a red middle coat, sitting in front of the Western beauty mirror and dozing off.
She yawned and said to Mama Liu and Mrs. Quanfu: "If there is a mother, there must be a daughter, and my mother loves to sleep, so she can't get up at this time, so you better let me go to bed and sleep for a while." ”
"Who said I couldn't get up?" Xie Honglin's voice came from outside the door, her voice was high-pitched, and she couldn't hear half of her tiredness.
"Mother, you got up early!" I really can't talk about people behind my back, look, when freedom beckons in front of her, she still has to be disgusted by her mother.
Xie Honglin walked in calmly, pressed her daughter, who was a cut taller than her, back to the rose chair, she looked at her daughter from the mirror, a sixteen-year-old girl, her skin was as white and delicate as mutton fat, and she was blown up.
She caressed her daughter's waist-length green silk lovingly, and her daughter's hair followed her, thick and black, with a faint smell of soaphorn.
She picked up the grate from the wedding box, read the joyful song, and combed her daughter's hair.
"One comb to the end, two combs of white hair to the eyebrows, three combs of grandchildren and grandchildren......"
The girl in the mirror smiled with crooked eyebrows, without due shyness, and when her mother combed her hair, she said with a smile: "Mother, you read it so well, it's the first time I've heard it." ”
Xie Honglin said: "Then you can be harmonious and beautiful in the future, just like in this song." ”
Speaking of this, her nose was slightly sour, but a smile overflowed from her mouth.
The dressing grandmother was invited by the Wu family, and it is very famous in Yulin City, and it is said that all the young daughters-in-law who dressed up and put on the sedan chair by her were all men in one fell swoop.
The Zhan family and the Xie family don't believe in this, but they won't refuse what can be auspicious.
When the Wu family recommended this grandmother, Xie Honglin agreed.
The dressing mother bit the end of the silk thread with her mouth, and quickly wringed noodles for Huo Roufeng, Huo Roufeng bared her teeth and grinned, as if she was tortured, Xie Honglin rolled her eyes, how could it be so painful, the big day, it really made this girl angry, fortunately, she only gave birth to one daughter, if she gave birth to a few more, her hair was afraid that it would turn white early.
Thinking of this, she sighed in her heart, Xiaofeng is a widow, if her cousin can see her daughter get married, how good it would be.
The grooming mother finally opened her face to Huo Roufeng, looking at her new self in the mirror, Huo Roufeng touched her face that was still a little painful, and said to Xie Honglin: "Mother, am I good-looking?" ”
At this moment, even Mrs. Quanfu couldn't help it, and laughed out loud, she was not the first time to be Mrs. Quanfu, but it was the first time she had seen a bride from such a family.
"Beautiful, my precious girl is the best." Xie Honglin said softly, her eyes were full of smiles, her little girl was finally getting married.
Mrs. Huo also got up early, the autumn cold was precipitous, she stood outside Huo Roufeng's courtyard in the moonlight, according to the rules of Jiangnan, the unmarried sister can't send her sister, and even the combing of her hair and makeup must be avoided.
She waited outside for about an hour, and there was a bright light from far and near, and it was the Wu family sisters.
Seeing that they also got up so early, Mrs. Huo said with a smile: "Why don't you sleep for a while?" ”
Wu Xinxin said: "Where can I sleep here, when I close my eyes, I look like Jiu Niangzi wearing a phoenix crown and a veil." ”
yes, what is it?
At this time, a little maid ran over with one foot deep and one foot shallow: "Big lady, two Miss Wu, Jiu Niangzi have finished dressing up, you can go in quickly." ”
Hearing this, the three of them walked in without stopping.
Under the candlelight, Huo Roufeng was struggling to take off the phoenix crown on her head, and Zhu Cui and Ji Bi were worried that she would break the combed bun, so they hurriedly went over to help.
The phoenix crown was taken off and put in the tray, Huo Roufeng let out a long sigh of relief, this thing is too heavy, just after wearing it for a while, she is so tired that her neck hurts, if she wears it for a day, her neck will have to be broken.
"I watched the scene in the drunken concubine, wearing a phoenix crown and twisting and singing, and she was not so tired." Huo Roufeng complained.
"The phoenix crown on the stage is fake, how can it be as real as you." Xie Honglin said.
At this time, Mrs. Huo and the sisters of the Wu family came in with the curtain, Huo Roufeng opened her hand and said to Mrs. Huo: "Sister, do you think I look good?" ”
"It's good-looking, it's the first time I've seen such a good-looking bride." Mrs. Huo smiled sincerely.
At this time, Wu Xinxin asked, "Hey, why didn't you use the flower dew?" ”
When she came yesterday, her mother specially asked her to bring two bottles of good flower dew, which were time-honored flower dew in Beijing, and they could not be bought in Xi'an.
Huo Roufeng said: "I'm already good-looking enough, so I don't need to apply flower dew anymore, so as not to be fascinated by a large piece." ”
Xie Honglin and Mrs. Huo stroked their foreheads together, but they could be regarded as marrying her off, and in the future, all the things about this forehead touching would be handed over to Zhanhuai, which is really good.
They didn't know that the reason why Huo Roufeng didn't use Hualu was not what she said, but to show her feelings.
In other words, since that year, Zhanhuai was in Wuxi Huojia Zhuangzi and fell ill because of flower dew, and she has never used flower dew again.
At first, she felt that the flower dew almost hurt Zhanhuai, and she responded in her heart, but then it gradually became a habit.
Through the thick wedding dress, she touched the bottom of her neck, and there was a protrusion there, which was the little monkey that Zhanhuai gave her back then.
Inside the little monkey is the fragrance of peaches, sweet and sour.
When the sky was bright, the sound of firecrackers sounded outside, and a little maid ran in happily: "Madam, the sedan chair for the wedding has arrived outside the racecourse." ”
The ladies in the house hurriedly stood up, and the inlaid cui and inlay bi quickly put the phoenix crown on Huo Roufeng again, and Mama Liu took a bowl of lily lotus seed soup and said to Huo Roufeng: "Nine Niangzi, drink the soup, and give birth to a noble son for a hundred years." ”
