Chapter 485: A Reluctant Marriage
Cui Zheng's marriage is a major event for the Cui family after all, and the second room is deliberately ostentatious, and the whole Boling is lively for a while.
Compared with the busy Cui Mansion, Gu Mingzhu, the marriage envoy, has completed her mission but is leisurely, as long as she quietly makes a decoration at the banquet, she can leisurely go back to the courtyard to enjoy the flowers and read books after watching the ceremony.
Looking at the banquet like flowing water, as well as the guests of the major families who came like clouds, Gu Mingzhu couldn't help but smack his tongue a little, this family's wedding banquet was not worse than the banquet in the palace, and sure enough, the emperors of the past dynasties respected and feared the family, and the influence and power of the family were really amazing.
However, she didn't have any curiosity to find out the identity of the guests, just talked to Cui Huan and Cui Ning sisters, and hid in the small flower hall on the side to hide for a while.
But there are always people who refuse to let go of her leisure, a few ladies took the maidservants into the Xiaohua Hall, and greeted Cui Huan and Cui Ning with a smile, but a pair of eyes kept looking at Gu Mingzhu, and even said: "A-Ning, which one is this?" Isn't that the most powerful county lord in the palace? ”
There was no half-respect in the tone, only frivolity and arrogance.
Gu Mingzhu was not angry, she had already thought of it before she came to Boling, and she would inevitably encounter such a thing, but Cui Ning didn't know why, but she was angry, and said coldly: "The county lord came here with an edict, and the old lady treated each other with courtesy yesterday, Yao Niang, don't you even understand the etiquette?" ”
Lu Yaoniang didn't expect Cui Ning to protect Gu Mingzhu, she blushed for a while, and wanted to argue with her for a few words, but the Cui family is not an ordinary family, and Cui Ning is the daughter of the Cui family, so she can only sneer: "I just don't know the county lord, so I will ask, where is the neglect." ”
Only then did he awkwardly greet Gu Mingzhu, but he walked aside angrily and discussed in a low voice.
Gu Mingzhu could also hear a few words, all of which were between Zheng Yuan and her, she was not annoyed, she was talking to the Cui family sisters idly, but she smiled with Cui Ning gratefully, she didn't expect Cui Ning to come out to protect herself.
Cui Ning turned his face away uncomfortably, and his cheeks flushed unnaturally in the face of her gratitude, like an awkward child.
This made Gu Mingzhu feel like laughing more and more the more she looked at it, such a twisted temperament, but her mind was not bad, it was really interesting, she felt closer to Cui Ning more and more.
At this time, on the way from Zhengfu to Cuifu, Zheng Yuan, who was dressed in a vermilion and purple flower brocade dress, sat in the carriage, following the rickety carriage, and the colorful brocade hijab on her head also swayed, revealing her cold face.
Finally came to this day, she was served by the maid early in the morning, changed into a good clothes and combed her hair, Xi Niang helped to dot up, while praising her beautiful appearance, Xi Niang has never seen such a bride in so many years, and even said again and again, Cui San Langjun is really blessed to marry such an excellent lady as her.
It's just that the more she praises, the more unjust Zheng Yuan's heart becomes, she is so beautiful and has such an identity, why should she marry such a useless person as Cui Wei! She should have been better, she should have a better place to go.
This emotion has been fermenting in her heart, until Cui Wei came to the door with a concubine to greet her, and when she was holding a goose ceremony, she was helped out by the maidservant.
Sitting on the hard saddle, watching Cui Wei, who was dressed in auspicious clothes through the screen, was surrounded by a laughing man, holding a pair of geese in his hand, and said hello to several elders of the Zheng family with some restraint and anxiety, his eyes couldn't help but look at the screen, and he quickly withdrew it as if embarrassed, full of joy.
But in Zheng Yuan's eyes, there is no joy, she only feels that Cui Wei acts timidly and cowering, without any demeanor and demeanor, and without the bearing of the family, she really can't be on the stage, not to mention that compared with Cui Lin, it is vulgar, and she is not even worthy of helping Cui Lin lift shoes.
But she's going to marry this guy!
When Cui Wei carefully opened the curtain and threw the pair of geese towards her, Zheng Yuan's beautiful face was full of disgust that she had forgotten to hide.
Cui Wei couldn't help but be stunned, his honest face was a little unrelievable, he could see that Zheng Yuan's face was not half happy and shy, more like reluctance.
Doesn't she want to marry herself?
But she didn't have time to think about it, Xi Niang had already smiled and said, "Licheng, please ask Lang Jun to take the bride on the bus." ”
In this way, Zheng Yuan was put into a carriage and went from Zheng's Mansion to Cui's Mansion.
Got off the carriage outside the gate of Cui's house, and there were people who watched the ceremony and congratulated them, crowded and even blocked the front of Cui's house, everyone heard that the lady of the Zheng family who married to Boling is the first beauty of the family, everyone wants to take a look at this lively, this is also a rare event in Boling, not to mention that there are many people from the family who come to congratulate and watch the ceremony, which are famous for a long time.
Zheng Yuan was helped out of the carriage, the hijab that was previously on her head had been removed, she held a Ruyi emerald feather fan, half-covered and stepped on the red carpet step by step to the house, listening to the boiling voices around her, but her face was still cold, not the slightest moved, and a pair of eyes looked coldly ahead.
There were also many people who saw her expression and discussed curiously: "The bride doesn't look happy, is it possible that this marriage is still reluctant?" ”
There was laughter on the other side: "I heard that this lady Zheng was going to marry our Cui Wulang, but later became Cui Sanlang, which is a strange thing." ”
This made the four sides like a boiling oil pot splashing water, and it was very lively and discussed, just because everyone knew that Cui Wulang was the most outstanding person in the family, and he was not a famous Cui Saburo Cui Wei.
Zheng Yuan had never heard the discussion of outsiders, otherwise she was afraid that her mood would be even worse.
She walked all the way towards the main hall of the Cui Mansion, but her eyes couldn't help but look towards the crowd on the side, and the Lang Jun of the Cui family was also watching the ceremony, so Cui Lin must also be there.
It's just that she looked through the fan for a while, but she didn't see that handsome figure, so she could only withdraw her gaze in disappointment and be helped into the hall.
Zheng Yuan was sent to Qinglu, Cui Wei stayed in the front yard to thank the guests, and he ate a few more glasses of wine with joy, but the amount of alcohol was not good, and at this time he was a little staggering, and was helped back to Qinglu.
He sat next to Zheng Yuan, looking at Zheng Yuan, who was dressed in bright brocade and delicate like a flower, his eyes were full of light, and his hand connected to the prison food was a little unstable, and it took a while to complete the same prison ceremony.
When the people who were waiting for them retreated, and only the husband and wife were left in the Qinglu, Cui Wei finally couldn't hold back the expectation in his heart, and reached out to shake Zheng Yuan's hand: "Yuanniang, I am really fortunate to be able to marry you......"
But unexpectedly, Zheng Yuan frowned and withdrew his hand, turned around and lay on the soft couch in the Qinglu, turned sideways to the inside, and didn't look at him: "I'm not used to sleeping with people, you can sleep on the couch over there, and I'll talk about it tomorrow." ”
She didn't even plan to take off her auspicious clothes, she was full of defense against him, and she didn't plan to make a public gift with him.
