Chapter 523: Xiao Ding
Looking at the people around him who were full of worries, Gu Mingzhu calmly sat down on the couch: "It's still early, Xiaodingli will be delivered later, let's take a rest first." ”
She said, but she didn't care about her identity as a bride-to-be today, crooked on the table, and turned over the desk with the scroll on the desk, but she was happy.
These books were all sent to her by Cui Lin, knowing that she must be detained these days and can't go anywhere, afraid that she will be bored, so she specially found a leisure travel miscellaneous to relieve her boredom, she really likes it.
looked at Ah Bi and Xiao Kui and shook their heads, and smiled bitterly: "County Lord, today is a small ceremony." ”
Gu Mingzhu picked up a honey-stained plum and put it in her mouth, the sweet and sour taste made her can't help but shrink her neck, stick out her tongue, and then said with a smile: "I know, I'll sit down in a while and let them take a good look." ”
didn't take the matter of who the Cui family would make the small ceremony seriously, as if it was an inconsequential matter.
Ah Bi and Xiao Kui sighed, and had to retreat to arrange other things, there will be so many guests coming to watch the ceremony, and there are many things to do.
Under the speculation of many people in the front yard, the people of the Cui family arrived at the auspicious time.
The carriage of the Cui family stopped in front of the mansion, and several servants stepped forward to open the curtain, helped out a female dependent from the carriage, and rushed towards the general's mansion.
After all, everyone is curious, who will be the Cui family to make a small decision, and many people already know that the Cui family branch has opened a mansion in Chang'an, so they have also guessed that the Cui family has no faceless female dependents in Chang'an, but I am afraid that it will be the lady in charge of the side branch.
The jealous person secretly pursed his lips, and laughed in his heart, although he is also the wife of the family, the side branch and the grandson branch are very different, the Lingling County Lord is no matter how outstanding the appearance is and the glory is infinite, but it is also not valued by the in-laws, with such a thing, they are finally more balanced in their hearts, otherwise there is the marriage of the Lingling County Lord, and what kind of marriage these ladies in Chang'an will be overshadowed.
The maidservant had already hurried in and said, "Mrs. Cui has arrived." ”
All the ladies and ladies in the inner hall got up, although it was the wife of the Cui family's side branch, but it was on behalf of the elders of the Cui family to make a small decision, and no one dared to take the big one, so they politely greeted them.
It wasn't until Mrs. Cui stepped into the inner hall and returned the salute to the ladies indifferently but without being rude, that the ladies were stunned.
Cui's side branch has been in Chang'an for some time, and the second wife of Cui, who is in charge, Xu and Xungui's mansion also walk around from time to time, and many ladies and ladies know her.
But the person in front of her is not Second Mrs. Cui, her demeanor is even more dignified and graceful, and her words and demeanor are awe-inspiring, who is she?
Princess Zhuang, who was still sitting on the upper seat, recognized it, she had met with Mrs. Cui in front of the Queen Mother when she entered the palace before, and this one in front of her was not Mrs. Cui, the mother of the Cui family.
She got up in surprise: "It turned out that the eldest lady herself came." ”
Everyone was in an uproar, isn't Mrs. Cui still in Boling? Why did you rush over and make a small decision?
Could it be that he came here for the marriage with the Gu family?
Mrs. Cui greeted the surprised eyes, smiled slightly, and greeted the Mao family who hurriedly came forward: "The auspicious time has come, please also ask Mrs. to lead me to a small ceremony, and thank you for your love." ”
Mao stared at Mrs. Cui in front of him with wide eyes, and it took a long time to come back to her senses: "Madame, please come with me......"
This Mrs. Cui was not an easy person to get close to before, but now she has a peaceful attitude, without the slightest arrogance, and teaches people to feel good.
She personally accompanied Mrs. Cui to Luoying Courtyard, because Xiao Dingli was to pay a salute at her mother's house, and Gu Mingzhu lived here temporarily.
Naturally, the ladies did not want to miss such a time, and they all got up and left the table to watch the ceremony.
"It's Mrs. Cui, Mrs. Cui is here in person......"
Xiaokui was overjoyed, and hurriedly instructed the maids to open the curtain and set up the bedding, and walked into the room quickly, and said happily to Gu Mingzhu: "County Lord, it is Mrs. Cui who has come to make a decision from the Cui family, and she has come to Chang'an from Boling." ”
Abi, who had been carrying her heart on the side, suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and chanted with a smile: "This is really good, so there will be no more gossip." ”
Although no one in the palace or the palace dared to say anything in person these days, it was inevitable to guess behind the scenes, after all, the Cui family is not an ordinary family, it is the head of a century-old family, and it has never married a female relative outside the family.
Gu Mingzhu looked at the happy appearance of the two of them, and a smile curled up at the corner of his mouth: "Okay, okay, go and tell someone to get ready, I'm afraid they are coming." ”
Mao accompanied Mrs. Cui in, looking at Gu Mingzhu, Mrs. Cui's face was a little complicated, and after a while, she still smiled and bowed to her: "County Lord." ”
Gu Mingzhu saluted calmly: "Big lady." ”
Mao and Gu Mingyu were on the side, looking at the ladies who were already waiting to watch the ceremony, and said with a smile: "The auspicious time is coming." ”
The maidservant brought by Mrs. Cui brought a fixed gift, and the lacquered wooden plate was covered with red brocade, so that they couldn't see what was below, so that all the ladies stretched their necks and waited to see, but to see what kind of gift the Cui family would come up with.
The maidservant unveiled the brocade, and the ceremony was finally revealed to others.
It is a complete set of red gold tired silk sheep fat jade head face, twelve finely carved white jade flower hairpins, two pairs of gold silk white jade beads step shaking, several carved out of the water lotus comb grate, as well as necklace arms and waist wear the same is also a lot, the pattern is simple and concise, at a glance you know that it is a treasure that has been treasured for many years, the most rare thing is that the pieces of jewelry are actually carved from pieces of flawless mutton fat white jade.
This really made the people watching the ceremony gasp coldly.
You must know that a good piece of mutton fat jade is hard to find, ordinary people are also used as heirlooms, how to be willing to use it as a jewelry head, such a large amount of money is afraid that only the family can do it.
But the Cui family actually used such valuable jewelry as a matter of determination, which is enough to see the importance of Gu Mingzhu, it seems that everyone is wrong.
The Cui family is actually satisfied with this marriage?!
Everyone's eyes turned from the small ceremony to Mrs. Cui's face, a little incredulous, it seems that the news from the palace is true, this marriage is really asked for by the Cui family, which really teaches them to have mixed feelings.
Mrs. Cui ignored the surprised gazes, but reached out to take the set of heads, carefully put Gu Mingzhu's hairpin on the bun, intimately arranged the tassels on her cheeks, looked at Gu Mingzhu, whose face was as smooth as mutton fat and white jade, and said softly: "Zhilan is luxuriant, and the piano is harmonious." ”
Gu Mingzhu raised his hand and forehead softly, and bowed: "Respectfully." ”
