Chapter Seventy-Two: Marriage
The queen mother didn't want her beloved grandson to be delayed in her marriage, and Jian Pingyu, who had already been given a career, had no choice but to "lie on the couch" after receiving the secret decree.
The old man's wife died early, and Mrs. Xu Xianwen also died of illness more than ten years ago, and she never remarried after that.
Although there are several aunts around him to serve, when it comes to major events, the eldest son Jian Liwu has to preside over the overall situation.
Jian Liwu sent his henchman and old servant Xingye to the imperial capital, crying to the eldest princess and his wife of the Jin Kingdom: "The old lady is suddenly ill this time, and famous doctors from near and far have been invited. The old man was so anxious that he couldn't sleep and couldn't eat, and a few days ago he heard someone say a way, saying that this is the case, it is better to ask the younger generations to marry immediately, and the joy is sick and angry, and it will naturally be fine. β
On the contrary, "Although the eldest master has abundant heirs under his knees, he has either become a family, or he is not yet old!" This is a happy thing, and it can't be replaced by the children of the side branches, so I can only send the old slave to come, and ask Her Royal Highness the eldest princess and the second master to welcome the two sons early! β
The eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom understood herself, but before she could speak, Jian Likuang said: "Yiyu's marriage period needs to be renegotiated, Ah Xu is a young son, and he can't surpass his brother." Horizontally and vertically is for my father, it is better to let the third brother continue the strings. After all, since the third brother and sister had a difficult birth, he was alone, and he didn't even have a room for a concubine, so he looked really lonely! β
"You want to renew the strings for the third brother?" The eldest princess turned her head to look at him, her eyes were extremely cold, and her voice seemed to be squeezed out of her teeth little by little, "Whose daughter are you going to tell the third brother?" didn't have a word of eight words - the eldest brother is the most secure, even he is worried to the point that it is difficult to sleep and eat, and the situation of his father can be imagined! You actually ignored the ready-made pair of Ah Xuan and Yi Xiao, and planned to go slowly to find a good wife for the third brother! Have you do this son?! β
Jian Likuang was scolded by her and was so disgraced that he almost wanted to explode in his heart, he took a few deep breaths before holding it down, and said stiffly: "It's me who is not thoughtful." β
"Foolish thing!" The eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom sneered, and didn't pay attention to him, only changed her pleasant face, and said to the old servant who shrank her head and wanted to get into the brick crack, "As a descendant, how can you sit back and watch your relatives suffer?" You can rest assured, this palace will personally discuss this matter with Princess Wei tomorrow, and he will tell his father that the old man is safe! β
Wei Mengying was worried that her good son-in-law had flown away, and the eldest princess personally came to the door and said that the wedding date was as usual, and she was too late to be happy, how could she have an opinion?
As for public opinion, filial piety comes first, and under the banner of "wishing my grandfather an early recovery", no one can say that it is wrong to marry his brother in a simple way, but to praise his filial piety and sensibility.
In this way, on September 15, Song Yixiao left the cabinet as scheduled.
The wedding was in the evening, in order to ensure today's physical strength, she was not called until almost noon - because of sufficient sleep, she sat in front of the dressing table and took a self-portrait in the mirror, but she saw that the pink skin was white and red, crystal moisturized, with dew peach blossoms, lined with bright eyes and bright teeth, such as thrush eyes, it was really soft and soft, beautiful and natural.
The woman who specially invited her to dress up praised as soon as she saw her face: "Do you still need to dress up such a newcomer?" If you open your face and go out directly, you will be captivating the country and the city! β
On a big day like today, Wei Mengying had to be present to check it, and said with a smile: "Who doesn't want to be icing on the cake on a good day?" But I hope that your skillful hands will let my son go out with glory! β
"Miss, this will be glorious enough." The woman smiled and said, "I don't know whose son is so blessed?" β
The left and right naturally told her that the groom was Yan Guogong - the woman actually knew it for a long time, and deliberately asked, so that this would be a good sentence, "Ah! That's a perfect match! Talented and beautiful, a match made in heaven! β
Everyone loves to listen to good words, Wei Mengying is clear about her little means, but in a good mood, she asked someone to take a pair of gold barley and put it in a purse for her: "Borrow your auspicious words, and you will also be happy!" β
The woman thanked the reward with a smile, asked someone to bring water to clean her hands, and then opened the fat powder and other things, and began to dress up Song Yixiao - in the middle, Wei Mengying also put forward various suggestions, so she discussed and started at the same time, and returned to work from time to time.
Song Yixiao was like a puppet, and he was fiddled with for two hours before he heard a voice: "Okay!" β
She breathed a sigh of relief as if she had been amnestied, and was immediately urged by Wei Mengying by pushing her arm: "Take a look for yourself, if you are not satisfied, change it immediately while you have time!" β
Song Yi smiled and looked in the mirror when she heard the words - hibiscus face, peach blossom cheeks, eyebrows and juan, apricot eyes, cherry-like red lips, moist and delicate, just in response to Wei Mengying's "icing on the cake" request, indescribable ladylike and bright, rich and colorful.
β¦β¦ Naturally, there is no opinion.
"Let's change our clothes, then!" Wei Mengying nodded.
Hua Hai Zhai Yi was carefully picked up - the Duke of the White-collar Country, the status of the noble, the wife is honored by the husband, Song Yi smiled and crowned the flower hairpin nine trees, two Bo sideburns, Jiudian, taking Zhai clothes, embroidering Zhai Jiuzhong, black collar jade belt, the whole suit is luxurious and solemn.
After dressing, Wei Mengying ordered: "Raise your hand, turn around and I'll see." β
Song Yi smiled and did as she said, and after stopping, she saw the undisguised admiration in her mother's eyes: "There are thousands of manners, that's it!" β
"Mother!" She's coquettish.
"Shy of what?" Wei Mengying smiled, "It's not beautiful to be a bride, how do you usually see people?" β
"What the princess said is, don't be humble, young lady." Everyone agreed, "Isn't this going to be a charming and well-behaved young lady?" β
Laughing at everyone's jokes and compliments Song Yixiao, Wei Mengying calculated the time in her heart, and hinted at them to retreat: "I'll tell you to laugh and laugh a few words alone!" β
When there were only two mother and daughter left in the room, Wei Mengying motioned for her daughter to come to her side, straightened her skirt with her own hands, stared at her youthful face for a moment, and there was wetness in her eyes: "Six years have passed, and my son is about to get married!" β
Regardless of whether she was sincere or not, such a sentence made Song Yixiao immediately burst into tears: Yes, she is going to get married - what she thought about in her previous life was to leave the cabinet.
It's not looking forward to a beautiful marriage, nor is it a young man who loves it, just trying to break away from the Song family and those people!
But in the end, he didn't get his wish, but with full of grief and indignation, he drowned in the fingers of thousands of people.
In this life, before he arrived, he had already put on his wedding dress.
Even though her husband said that he didn't love her, compared to his previous life, he was already full of flowers.
"I'm so reluctant to mother!" The sadness and despair of the previous life and the pain of suffocation when drowning are still fresh in my memory, and the fear and hope of being a wife in this life have surfaced in my heart again, and Song Yixiao has burst into tears unconsciously.
She bit the tip of her tongue hard, suppressed the surging emotions, and said what she should say at the moment, "Really, really reluctantly!" β
"Mother can't bear you." Wei Mengying didn't know her daughter's true feelings, seeing her tears falling like rain, she was all attached to herself, both happy and relieved, while wiping her tears with a handkerchief, she said angrily, "How can you cry with good makeup?" I'm going to ask someone to make it up for you later...... Fortunately, you will marry in the imperial capital, and you will not live with your mother-in-law, and in the future, you will often come back to see your mother, ah? β
Song Yi smiled and nodded.
"I remember when you were a child, you were only a little old...... Wei Mengying hugged her, and recalled the past in a gentle tone - it was just that what she thought was warm was indescribable irony for Song Yixiao, who had been abandoned by her in her previous life.
"Mother, don't say it!" After enduring and forbearing, Song Yixiao finally couldn't bear to interrupt, seeing Wei Mengying's stunned expression, she took a deep breath and made a concerned expression, "You will have a body, accompany me to recall the past, what if you are emotional, what if you are not good for your brother or sister?" β
The daughter is afraid that she will remember to be angry with that old thing of Ponzi? Wei Mengying was relieved and patted the back of her hand with relief: "Don't worry, my mother is doing well now, and those who are not happy will only be those who can't see us well!" β
For example, Song Yuan and Ponzi!
"But my mother has been working very hard these days......" Song Yi smiled and pulled the corners of her mouth, suppressing her boredom, and asked her to take care of herself - this trick was very effective, which not only prevented Wei Mengying from continuing to reminisce about the past, but also made her feel good.
The mother and daughter coaxed each other to the next person to urge Wei Mengying: "The guests have already come, there are a few ladies, Mother Bo can't greet her, you have to go over in person." β
Wei Mengying reluctantly comforted her daughter: "I should teach you, I said it before." Don't be too nervous, you are all good in terms of talent and appearance, and you choose a wife in person, no matter how he doesn't admit it, it is impossible not to have a good impression of you...... Just do what your mother taught you! β
Seeing Song Yi smile and say that he had written it down, he left step by step.
In the end, there is a difference between men and women - there is inevitably a few sorrows in the joy of Hanxia Xiaozhu, but in the Yanguo Mansion, there is pure joy.
The eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom looked at the heroic youngest son in the hall with a smile, and her eyes were full of pity: "Ah Xuan married a wife, he is an adult, and in the future, this mansion will be supported by you!" β
"No matter how an adult is, he is also a son in front of his mother." The simple and white wedding dress is a crown, a green dress, embroidered with nine chapters, hanging nine green beads, and a hairpin of beautiful jade - a dress passed down from ancient times, and the wordless majesty that has been precipitated in the years is by no means everyone can wear it to have the elegance it should have.
But Jian Xubai was born noble, and he has been used to being arrogant since he was a child, and this dress is more and more graceful and majestic, and only the words "expensive and unspeakable" can be described.
At this moment, he raised his sleeves and raised his eyes, Yingying stood up, but smiled coquettishly, "Mother can't stop hurting me because I married a wife!" β
"You are my mother's heart, how can my mother be willing not to hurt you?" The more the eldest princess looked at him, the more proud she became, and she couldn't help but sigh with emotion, and by stroking the sideburns and hairpins, she quietly pressed the corners of her eyes, and Fang smiled and said, "But you are also the Duke of Guo, and this Yanguo Mansion is your ...... property."
Speaking of this, she suddenly heard a "snap", interrupting her words neither high nor low - but it was Jian Likuang, who was sitting across the desk from her, and put down the tea bowl with a calm face.
The eldest princess frowned, "What's the matter with you?" Ah Xu is about to welcome his wife into the door, and you won't say a word? β
"It's a daughter-in-law, not a daughter." Jian Likuang didn't raise his eyelids, and said lightly, "It's just a kiss, don't go out of the capital, just a few steps, what is there to advise?" β
At this time, it is very disappointing for a father to say such a thing.
The expression of the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom was distorted, but looking at the aggrieved and drooping eyes of the youngest son under the steps, she took a deep breath and held back, and forced a smile: "Although there is a habit of making things difficult for the groom nowadays, but Ah Xu's talent, how can your Yue family be willing to make things difficult?" No wonder your dad isn't worried. β
Glancing at the copper leak, "The hour is coming, you go down and pack up, and get ready to greet your relatives, my mother is waiting for your husband and wife to come back!" β
"Yes!" Jian Xubai will lose all his previous vigor, and he will almost walk out in frustration.
The lonely back of the youngest son made the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom feel distressed, and it was estimated that after he walked away, he no longer concealed it, stood up, snatched the dust from the hand of the servant beside him, and pulled it towards Jian Likuang: "Who are you showing your face to?" Yes? Who is it for!? The child's happy day is not a good voice, is it the other way around? I don't want to live anymore, do I!? β
It's just that the eldest princess, who is very powerful, doesn't know that Jian Xubai returned to her normal color when she went out, and only the corners of her mouth were hooked, revealing a touch of schadenfreude: dare to show him his face in front of his mother? The eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom can be called a loving mother, but she is really not a good wife when it comes to conscience!
Over the years, he has never learned to please his father, but the means of coquettish competition in front of his mother are self-taught!
If you want to be merciful, have you asked him if he has his own mother?
Putting his father together, Jian Xubai was in a good mood and embarked on the road to welcome his relatives - because Song Yixiao was not the flesh and blood of Hengshan Wangfu in the end, and after she got married, it was not necessarily a good thing for many people in the palace, so the palace was too lazy to toss, so he sent Song Yixiao out of the house and concentrated on entertaining guests.
Because it was too smooth to welcome here, in order to pinch the auspicious time, the team even took a detour on the way back to the Yanguo Mansion.
Just a moment before the auspicious time, the sedan chair fell to the ground.
The concentric knot was stuffed into Song Yixiao's hand, and the slight force, as well as the whispered reminders from the left and right, led her step by step into the main hall of the Yanguo Mansion.
The singing voice of the concubine was loud and melodiousβ
"Worship heaven and earth!"
"Xing!"
"Second worship high hall!"
"Xing!"
"Husband and wife!"
"Xing!"
The delicately embroidered robes brushed the dusty ground again and again, and when they kowtowed, they were mixed with the noisy drum music and noisy human voices, almost inaudible but clear to the ears - at this moment, whether it was Jian Xubai or Song Yixiao, the mood was so complicated that it was difficult to speak.
It was a kind of confusion that seemed to be filled with something to the extreme, and when I wanted to describe it, I was empty.
Like a dream and like an illusion, there is an irrepressible hesitation in the waking heart.
The time of this life, the blessings and disasters of this life, after this wedding, they will all spend it together and work together - one is prosperous, and the other is lost.
"Knot your hair and you know, and you will end your life." Sitting in the wedding tent, Song Yixiao quietly watched the Quanfu people twist themselves into a concentric knot with a wisp of green silk from Jane Xubai, and solemnly put it into the bag, and unexpectedly remembered the poems he had read before.
However, when he raised his eyes and saw Jian Xubai's calm eyes, the already shallow expectation also turned into a flash of self-deprecation and vigilance, "The past life is far away, and this life has changed, but now, it is just the beginning!" β
The marriage of "love and love" may only be for those who are destined, but since she has become the mistress of the Yanguo Mansion......
Song Yixiao retracted her gaze and silently recalled the various teachings of her mother before leaving the pavilion.
Who wouldn't want to have a good life?
