On the first day of the ninth month of the lunar calendar, at the door of the big family in Yinyuan Town, people come and go. The guests were horseback riding, sedan chairs, and carriages. The servants stood outside the door in an orderly manner with prayer stickers and various gifts, waiting to be passed on. A few small families who are close to each other have quietly started to discuss!

"You see, there are red lanterns hanging outside, which shows how much Master Qiu attaches great importance to this aunt's wife!"

"It's not, after so many years, Master Qiu is the first time to marry his aunt's wife!"

"How did I hear that the second young master who was born to Mrs. Qiu has just passed away?"

In the autumn mansion, the east courtyard was plain white, except for a few low sobs, I couldn't even hear the sound of walking. At this time in the West Courtyard, the red lanterns of the word "Xi" were hung high, and the girls in red and green were busy in and out with smiles on their faces, and on the tray in their hands, the big word "Xi" set off the lively atmosphere, everyone knew that Master Qiu Shenglin was going to marry his aunt and wife today!

In the wedding room, a master and a servant sat in front of the huge bronze mirror, and picked up the jewelry on the dressing table one by one. Chunxi, a little girl with a happy face, flattered, "Second lady, this is specially selected by the master from the treasury to reward you." Look at this pearl, it is big and round, even if it is not under the candle flame, it shines, it is very beautiful! ”

"What is the second lady and not the second lady, I am just a concubine. Be careful if you hear this, and maybe you'll have to use some means to fix me! "The bride in the red wedding dress is named Mei Xiang, and she is the person personally set by Master Qiu. It is said that they bumped into the only green building in the town, in front of Tianxiang Building, and it was love at first sight!

"Over there?" Chunxi snorted with her nostrils facing the sky, "She has to have that ability, she can't even keep the second young master, the old master is bored!" Mei Xiang turned her face sideways and asked in the mirror, "In the past two days, I have vaguely heard that Madame has fallen out of favor, is the master listening to the words of some master, do you know this?" When Chunxi heard her ask, she suddenly came to her senses, and said with her eyebrows fluttering, "If you ask me about this, you will ask the right person!" This morning, I went to the big kitchen to get snacks, and I happened to run into ingots who often go out with my master. He told me that the master has been frowning for the past few days because the master told him that the lady has a hard life, and the second young master has been killed, and the next thing is the eldest young master! ”

Seeing her gloating, Mei Xiang couldn't help but glance at her, "This kind of thing, just talk about it in my room, don't mention a word when you go out of this door!" If those dirty villains listen to it and spread it out, I won't have a good time in the future! ”

"Second lady, you are too careful!" Chunxi pursed her lips and put on a crested hairpin made of pure gold for her, "Who in this house doesn't know, the lord is unlucky with his wife." Second lady, your eight characters have been calculated by the master himself, and he is extravagant, and everything is prosperous! ”

"You, this little mouth is sweet, like smeared with honey, this reward you!" Mei Xiang casually took a jasper hairpin from the dressing table and gave it to Chunxi, Chunxi hurriedly thanked the reward, Mei Xiang whispered, "You go out and see, when will the master come over, I can't wait!" ”

Chunxi hid the jasper hairpin, walked to the door proudly, and shouted at the little girl, "You are all quick with your hands and feet, today is a good day for the second lady!" If someone misses and hits the guy, don't blame me for ignoring my old feelings! ”

Outside the Moon Gate, a thin figure shook twice angrily, turned around and ran back to the east courtyard. She snorted angrily while pushing open the door vigorously, startling everyone inside, and shouting at the top of her voice, "Madam, haven't you seen how arrogant Chunxi's little hoof is, and you actually call that faceless woman Second Lady!" I'm just a concubine, and she's worthy of being called a lady, and I'm not afraid of losing her life! ”

A tall, pink-faced and long-necked woman walked over, frowned and said, "Lingyu, Madam is worried about the early death of the second young master, where do you have the mind to care about the matter over there." You are not afraid of people laughing at you when you shout like this! Ling Yu stomped his feet, "Chaoyu, I just can't get used to Chunxi's villainous face, and I want to vent for my wife!" ”

The door of the bedroom squeaked open, and a pale woman in a white plain dress stood there, her eyes red and she seemed to have cried again. Chaoyu hurriedly went over to support her and said distressedly, "Madam, it's not good for us, it's noisy to you!" ”

This is Qiu Shenglin's wife, Yao's Zhilan, she glanced at Chaoyu, "It's okay, I can't sleep in the first place." Lingyu pouted and stood beside her, knowing that what she had just said was reckless. Yao said, "My lord is very happy today, I am sad for days, and I am dizzy. Chaoyu, after a while, you send the jade Ruyi over, and say, I wish a couple of newcomers to grow old together and everything goes well. ”

"Madame!" Chaoyu was stunned for a moment, and tears like jade beads fell, "Madam, she is just a concubine, you don't have to pay attention to it." The old man was just confused for a while, and when he figured it out, he would change his mind. Yao smiled bitterly, "He's right, it's all useless to me, and I can't even keep my own children." Xiaobao, I'm sorry for you! ”

The three of them sobbed and wept, and the white lantern hanging outside the door was swayed by the cold night wind, and the shadows all over the ground should be revealed. The white candle on the wax table had been burned out, and the flame flickered, and a puff of white smoke came out and was extinguished.

In the congratulations of the guests, Qiu Shenglin drank a lot of wine. The wedding dress on his body was also wet in a few places by the spilled wine, he staggered to his feet, and arched his hand at everyone and said, "Everyone, everyone, Qiu is too strong to drink, go to the back first to change clothes, less accompaniment, less accompaniment!" I don't know who shouted among the guests, "The Spring Festival is worth a thousand gold, I'm afraid Master Qiu is not going to change clothes, but to lose us and go to the cave room!" ”

Everyone laughed, and Qiu Shenglin beckoned to call Yuanbao over, "Add another jar of aged daughter red to each table, if you don't get drunk today, you won't return!" In the midst of the applause, Qiu Shenglin finally got out. He walked around the shadow wall and glanced to the east, and it was pitch black, without the slightest light, and lifeless. He glanced west again, and walked over.

In front of the door of the west courtyard, Qiu Shenglin met Chaoyu with an empty tray and a plain white body. When he saw it, he frowned, and said unhappily, "Today is a day of great joy, what are you doing dressed like this?" Chaoyu lowered his eyebrows and blessed him, and said neither humbly nor arrogantly, "Mrs. asked me to send a jade ruyi to my aunt's wife, wishing a couple of newcomers to grow old together and everything goes well!" ”
