216. The Big Wedding (II)
Ning was carried out of the sedan chair, stepped on the red felt and walked into the main hall step by step, as a carved saddle, but there was no brazier. After someone took the bottle in her hand, she looked to the side from under the hijab, and vaguely saw a pair of boots, the size of which was clearly Tongying's, and her heart was settled.
In the main hall, Tongying faced west and Shuning faced east, and they bowed twice, and then they took their seats. The grandmothers sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs to officiate at the wedding poured wine, spoke auspicious words in their mouths, served the wine, and the two drank it. After repeating it three times, he got up and prostrated it twice.
When Shuning heard someone loudly announce the start of the feast, she knew that the wedding was complete. At that moment, there were some mixed feelings. I have lived for decades in my two lives combined, but I didn't expect that my life's major events were actually completed in ancient times. This is another yoyo in my life. Thinking back to the world I lived in before I crossed over, it seems to be a little blurry, no matter what the attitude of my family at that time was, there is no need to worry about it now. I have loving parents, loving brothers, and beloved husbands in this world, and I have no shortage of food and clothing, and I have a rich life. In the future, she will continue to work hard to let herself live happily with her family.
Someone tugged at her sleeve before she realized she didn't know how long she had been in a daze. There was a soft muffled laugh from Tong Ying's side, and Shuning flattened her mouth, following the guidance of the grandmothers, and walked from the back of the hall to the main courtyard. Along the way, she could see Tongying's boots next to her, thinking that from now on, she would be with this person for the rest of her life, and her heart softened, and she put aside all the resentment she had before.
Shuning only knew that all the way was red felt, and she could vaguely see the stone road next to her, but she couldn't estimate how big the surrounding place was.
I have seen the drawings before, and I only have a general impression, and I heard Zhenzhen say that the front yard is very large. But the main courtyard is smaller. She couldn't help but feel a little anxious, wondering what her future home would look like, and feeling that the red hijab was really in the way. It wasn't until she entered the house that she recognized the familiar furniture placed next to her, and her heart settled down and knew that this was the new house.
The red felt was spread all the way to the bed, and when she saw the platform of the bed, she gently broke away from the hands of others and stepped on it herself. Turned around and sat down with Tongying.
The bed was narrower than usual because of the carved fences on both sides, and the two sat side by side, not far apart. Shu Ning could see from under the hijab that Tong Young's knees were less than half a foot away from her own, and there seemed to be a gaze on the other side staring in her direction. She suddenly felt a little ashamed, and her ears gradually warmed up.
Then many things were scattered around the two of them, and on the sides of their clothes, they were all peanuts, chestnuts, longan, and red dates. Shuning only felt a few blows on her forehead. It's weird, and I don't know who is so reckless, throwing people into this place.
In a few moments, a golden rod reached under her hijab, and then her eyes lit up, and the hijab was opened. She glanced at her and looked up. I only saw Tongying smiling at her, and after a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, she stared at her with gentle eyes.
Shuning was happy and ashamed, but the desire to see Tongying suppressed her shyness, and it took less than two seconds to lower her eyes. And he lifted up his eyes again and looked at him. I only felt that he looked much better than the last time I saw him, although he was still a little thinner, but he was much fatter than before, and secretly decided that he must be fatter and healthier in the future, and then ...... Two people can be together for a long time.
But...... His eyes are so powerful that he hasn't blinked for so long...... Shuning only felt that her ears were getting hotter and hotter. His face was also spicy, and he wondered why he kept staring at himself? It's not like I haven't seen it. But she forgot that the two sides hadn't seen each other for a long time, and the last time they met, they only looked at each other from a distance. Even so. Ask her to look away. I was a little reluctant.
Someone let out a soft laugh, only to wake up the two people in staring at each other. Qi Qi made a big red face. Li, Hitara and a grandmother came over with three bowls and said with a smile: "It's time to eat the dumplings of the children and grandchildren." So he took chopsticks and fed them. Shuning had heard that this thing was hard to eat, but today she really hid what it tasted like. However, when she found out that Tongying was eating dumplings, she still looked at her from time to time, and felt that the thing was actually not so unpalatable.
After eating the dumplings of the children and grandchildren, and eating longevity noodles, I will open my face. Although Tongying wanted to stay, she was forced out. Because the wedding banquet outside is being eaten happily, how can the bridegroom be absent?
He toasted to a few elders, and drank a few glasses with a few children of clans and officials who had always been friends, and then began to toast from table to table. When she arrived at the woman's family banquet, Tongying took the wine glass and solemnly respected Duanning, Duanning was silent for a while, picked up the wine glass and said, "Treat her well." Tongying nodded: "Don't worry." The two of them had a drink.
Xiaobao was also familiar with Tongying, but he insisted on taking a wine glass and said to him: "Brother Tongying, no, brother-in-law, you must treat my sister well, otherwise, I will beat you." Everyone laughed, Duan Ning didn't know what to say, but said, "Auntie clearly said that you are not allowed to drink, why don't you put it down quickly?!" Xiaobao didn't say anything, just stared at Tongying. Tong Ying smiled slightly, poured herself a glass of wine, and said, "If I really bully your sister, you can just come and beat me." Then he drank it all.
Xiaobao's face showed joy, and he also drank his cup, but he was choked and coughed violently. Duan Ning smiled and patted him on the back: "I said it a long time ago, what kind of wine do children drink?" Xiaobao said:
It's a child, I'm a man! ”
Everyone applauded in unison, and the people who looked at him also came to pay homage to him, Duan Ning couldn't stop it, so he had to persuade Xiaobao to drink less. But there was also a twelve or thirteen-year-old boy among the people around, but he was annoyed by Xiaobao and said, "What's the spirit? Look at your little body, like bean sprouts, you dare to beat my second brother?! ”
Xiaobao raised his eyes to look at the young man, saw that he was richly dressed, and called Tongying "second brother", knowing that he was also a child of Prince Jane's mansion, remembering the teachings of his mother, husband and brother and sister, he pretended not to hear, and just talked to others. The young man was about to have a seizure, but when he heard the groom at the table asking the groom to come over to toast, he was also pulled by someone and followed, so he had to turn around and glare at Xiaobao. Xiao Baohun didn't care, just smiled, sat down to eat, and noticed that his brother was staring at him, so he poured him wine with a smile, which was regarded as a crime.
Xiaobao is very interested in tonight's dishes, and I heard that there are only 30 tables of wine. He killed twenty-one livestock, and the table was full of meat and vegetables, and the methods were different from his own, and he wanted to eat them all, and then go home and describe them to Brother Xian'er, so that the little brother could enjoy it, although the result may be to kill him by hunger.
In the new house, Shuning has endured the pain and finished opening her face and trimming her sideburns. I put on a heavy top hat again, only to feel a faint pain in the earlobe, probably because the ear clamps were too heavy, and the ears couldn't stand it.
However, she can't relax yet, because she is now facing a group of husbands and daughters. She only saw a room full of bright-colored cheongsams and pearls, but she felt dazzled.
There was a woman who looked to be only in her thirties, and when she saw the commotion of the crowd, she took the initiative to act as an introduction. She looked very kind. Shuning later learned that she was the side Fujin of Prince Jian's mansion, surnamed Guo, and had a son Xingsan, who happened to be fourteen years old today, but she specially accompanied her into Beijing to ask for a knighthood.
Under her introduction, Shuning recognized that the young woman with a round face, thin eyes, and a beautiful mole at the corner of her mouth was the rumored Guerjia clan of Tongying's eldest brother Yarjiang'a, and the young woman who spoke softly beside her was Yaerjiang's concubine Yiergen Jueluo. As for the other two concubines. Because Guo Fujin said too quickly, Shuning didn't hear it very clearly, and only remembered that one surname was Wu and the other was surnamed Cui.
They all belong to the Yarjana side, so they are a little far away from the other female dependents. The group standing by the door. They are all wives of other clans, eating, laughing, and watching the excitement, and only occasionally interjecting a few times.
The rest of the land is also the people of Prince Jian's mansion, in addition to that Guo Fujin, there is also a surname Li Dishu Fujin, the son is not young, and the prince and Ji Fujin went to Beijing to see the world Fake immortals in the Ming Dynasty sodu. There is an eight- or nine-year-old little Gege, who was also born to Guo Fujin, and his girlfriend's name is Yuxiu. Lively and likable. Although the title is only the county lord, I heard that he is extremely favored in the house. I'm changing my teeth right now, and although I miss a little wind from time to time when I speak, I don't care.
The little county lord was most interested in pulling the stepping bed. I can't stop looking at the carved hoarding. Later, he simply walked outside and sat on the bedside table. This bedside table. It was parallel to the bed, if it weren't for the two drawers, Shuning would have thought it was a chair, so she wouldn't have stopped her.
I saw that the little county lord Yuxiu looked left and right, and asked Shuning with wide eyes: "Second sister-in-law, what kind of bed is this?" How come I haven't seen it? Shuning was stunned for her new name at first, and then replied with a smile: "This is a step bed, also known as an eight-step bed, which is generally used in the south, and it is indeed rare in the north." When I was in Guangzhou with my father, I slept for a few years, and after returning to Beijing, I always thought that this time I would ask someone to go to Guangdong to buy furniture, so I simply asked someone to make a photo. ”
At this time, the Guerjia clan spoke: "Yo, it turned out to be fought in the south?" I thought that these furniture were really made at a high price in Beijing. I heard that there are a lot of good timber in the deep mountains and forests of Guangdong? ”
Shuning smiled: "This is all from Nanyang, Guangzhou is a treaty port, and many foreigners go there every year to do business." The price of timber is indeed cheaper than that of Kyosato.
What's more, if you want to talk about furniture now, Suzhou and Guangdong are good. It was also a coincidence that our family happened to meet Suzhou craftsmen when they were buying timber in Guangzhou, so they asked them to call on the spot. ”
The Guerjia clan was unwilling, and wanted to say more, but heard the ladies of the clan say: "It turned out to be a Suzhou style, and I felt that it was different from ordinary furniture when I looked at it. "I think Guangzhou is a good style, I've seen it in other places, and it's rich when I look at it." "Oh, listen to me......"
Guerjia couldn't say anything, and suddenly found that someone was pulling the corner of his clothes, and when he turned around, it was Xiu: "Sister-in-law, I'm hungry, I want to eat gluttony." She said impatiently: "It's for the newcomers, it's gone." Xiu didn't follow, still clamoring for food.
Guerjia looked at Guo Fujin and just smiled and didn't make a sound, Li Fujin didn't say anything, he secretly hated in his heart, and was about to have a seizure, but he heard Shuning speak: "If it's something else, will my sister eat it?" Yuxiu hurriedly went over: "Eat!" What is it? ”
Shuning opened the drawer on the bedside table, took out a purse from the pile of cotton, and opened it to see that it was peanut sesame candy and sugar lotus root. Yuxiu took it and tasted it, said it was delicious, and went through the drawer to see if there was more. Guo Fujin went to stop him, but Shuning just smiled and said, "It doesn't matter, there's more, it's just an empty thing." Come, I wanted to see the drawer below, and when I opened it, a few porcelain bottles appeared, and Guo Fujin hurriedly pushed it back
"No rules! This is your second sister-in-law's thing, how can you flip it around casually? also chimed in: "Isn't it? There are always things in the new house that are not good for children to see.
How can you flip around? When she said this, the people present wondered what was in the porcelain bottle. Someone covered his mouth and chuckled.
Shu Ning smiled, bent down to open the drawer, took out a bottle, and said, "It's okay, it's just a few bottles of toilet water." Because the dress was too heavy, my mother and sister-in-law were worried that I would be depressed, so they put some here. Wake me up. "|: Ning said: "This is the flavor of amaranth." Xiu opened the bottle and poured out a little, and sure enough, it was fragrant.
There are many people in the venue who have suffered from dresses, and none of them have used flower water, so they all feel the same and praise one after another, and some people also come to smell and ask which workshop is the product. Shuning replied with a smile. Guerjia watched her become the center of everyone's attention, and he was depressed again. Xiu looked at her with wide eyes and said, "Sister-in-law, are you uncomfortable?" Do you want to rub this? ”
Guerjia was annoyed: "No! Guo Fujin glanced at her quickly, and said lightly: "There are many guests outside today, how can Fujin deal with it alone?" Let's go out and help. Ilgen Jue Luo smiled and replied, "Yes, it is too hard to succeed Fujin alone. Sister, let's go out and help greet the guests. Guerjia's face was black, and he went out with everyone, leaving only Li Fujin, Yuxiu and a few grandmothers there. The former barely spoke, so Shuning had to chat with Yuxiu. I feel more relaxed with children than before.
Fortunately, this Beizi Mansion is located in a remote area, and it is quite far from Prince Jane's Mansion and the residences of other guests. Many guests saw that the time was not early, so they said goodbye early, and only agreed to have a few more drinks in the future. All the ladies and relatives of Prince Jane's mansion also left. Tong Ying sent off the guests and drove away a few bad friends who wanted to make a hole in the room, and then returned to the new house.
Shuning listened to him drive people outside. I was secretly funny in my heart, but it was a little strange, why didn't I see Tongying come in all the time?
Frangipani seemed to see something and went out for a while. came in and said with a smile: "Master Pei is drinking sobering soup." Say let the girl ...... Let the lady change her coat first. ”
Shuning's face flushed, and she helped her mother and the girls. took off the dress and top hat, changed into a red cotton cheongsam, combed a round bun on his head, and only inserted a big red velvet flower. The fat powder on the face was also washed off, and some moisturizer was rubbed on.
She watched the grandmothers clean up the happy fruit on the bed and spread a piece of white silk, and suddenly realized the purpose of this thing, brushed her face red, and hurriedly turned her head.
Tong Ying came in, already in a new dress, much lighter than the previous dress. He coughed lightly, and everyone retreated with great eyes, and Shuning bit her lip, suddenly feeling very nervous.
Tong Ying stared at her again and again, she endured it for a while, and was annoyed: "What are you looking at?!" Tong Ying smiled and said, "I see that you look better than Fang Cai." He sniffed: "What scent?" Strange smells. And then I kept sniffing it.
Shuning shrank a little uncomfortably: "It's the smell of flower water, just now Sister Yuxiu took it out and used some." Tongying sat down on the edge of the bed and said, "This smell is good for you." ”
The two of them fell silent, Shuning only felt her heart pounding, and after a while, Tongying grabbed her hand and held it tightly. Her face was red again, and her ears were hot, but she didn't shake them off. was shy, but he heard a "coo", was stunned, and looked at Tongying blankly.
Tongying touched her head embarrassedly and said, "I'm hungry...... Patronized and drank, I didn't eat much...... "Shu Ning burst out laughing, opened the bedside table drawer, and took out another bag of sugar: "Fortunately, Sister Yuxiu didn't touch it again, otherwise there would be nothing left." ”
Tongying smiled and was about to take it, but suddenly paused and said, "I want you to feed me." Shuning was stunned, blushing and stuffing a piece of sugar lotus into Tongying's mouth, he quickly bit it, she hurriedly withdrew her hand, but still noticed that Fang Cai wiped the tips of her fingers at that moment, and her face became hotter.
Tongying ate half of it, fed Shuning the other half, then cleared her throat and suddenly shouted, "Madam." Shuning was stunned for a moment, smiled and said "hey", only to feel that the sweetness in her mouth was even worse. Tongying smiled and whispered again: "Wife." Shuning laughed, glanced at him, and said "hey" again.
Tongying grinned happily, looked at Shuning, looked elsewhere, touched her head, and hugged her. Shuning was startled, remembering that hug, and quietly lay in his arms, listening to his heartbeat. Tongying's arms tightened tighter.
After a while, Tongying suddenly said: "Sure enough, it's right to postpone getting married for two years." ”
Shu Ning was puzzled, looked up and saw him with a serious face, so she asked why.
As a result, Tong Ying said: "Not only has she become a beauty, but she is also very material to hold, compared with the beginning, it is like bean sprouts and Chinese cabbage." ”
Shuning was stunned, her face turned completely red after brushing it, she took a few deep breaths, looked left and right, and hit a pillow casually.
