Chapter 296: The Bride
On the second day of the wedding, when the sky was not bright, Huizhu opened her eyes in a daze and woke up, and saw Su Xin gently rummaging through the box with a small lamp, so she said, "What are you looking for?" Su Xin was cold, Ding Huizhu suddenly spoke, bluffed slightly, but the movements in her hands did not stop, she took out two shows and stood up, muttered to herself, "Can I find it", and then replied with satisfaction: "It is the flower embroidered on the edge of the moon on the pillar, and it is in the style of fish offering lotus." ”
As he spoke, Su Xin handed the tent edge flower in his hand to Huizhu, and then lit a lamp and moved it to the head table on the bedside surface, and then said: "This fish is for lotus flowers, which is most suitable for use in the bedroom of newlyweds. And these two ornaments, embroidered by the master himself, were awarded to the four elder brothers and their husbands, and the four blessings will be remembered by the master. ”
Home and everything is prosperous, Huizhu hopes that the young couple will have a good life, so she smiled and said: "It's hard for you to think about everything." Su Xin held the curtain with her hands, and received it casually: "The master Miao praised, and the slave and maid also woke up today, and suddenly remembered" The words were still unfinished, her voice was raised in vain, her eyes stared at Huizhu's face without slackening, and she said anxiously: "The master slept early last night, what's going on?" The face is yellow and white, and the eyes are dark and blue. ”
Huizhu subconsciously covered her cheeks, her thoughts went back to last night, she came out of Chuxiu Palace, and began to feel restless, only feeling that the Wulanala clan had something to say, so she tossed and turned all night thinking about things, until she fell asleep in good spirits after the fourth watch, and it was no wonder that her face was pale and pale.
With a clear mind, Huizhu lowered her head and staggered Su Xin's gaze, and covered up a smile: "As the saying goes, if you marry a daughter-in-law and forget your mother, this palace is thinking about it at night, and Sly wants to go to the middle of the night." Then when you drink daughter-in-law tea later, you have to put on makeup powder to cover up a thing or two. After saying that, I felt that there was something really wrong, and I couldn't help but laugh at myself. Su Xin saw that Huizhu's tone was gentle, and she smiled again at this time, but she was also a little relieved, so the matter was put aside for the time being, and her eyes were full of Hongli and his wife coming to ask for peace.
Huizhu was the same, when she heard Su Xin mention the matter of the young couple coming, she was a little nervous, and then she couldn't take care of anything else. When he got up after washing, he picked out the clothes one by one, tried and tried again in the mercury dressing mirror, causing a group of little palace maids to bow their heads and laugh, Xiaojuan took the lead in quipping: "People who don't know think that the master wants to see his in-laws, but he doesn't know that the new daughter-in-law wants to meet the master." When the words fell, Su Xin couldn't help but chuckle.
Huizhu is now like an ugly daughter-in-law who wants to see her in-laws, her heart is very uneasy and nervous, and after listening to Xiaojuan's words at this time, Fang realized that her behavior is undoubtedly putting the cart before the horse, but it is like taking a reassuring pill and letting go of half of her heart. Then he put up his makeup, and after a few mouthfuls of breakfast, he went to the main hall and waited for the little couple to come over.
On the morning of the second day after the wedding night, Hongli and his wife should first go to ask for peace for Yinzhen, then go to say goodbye to the Wulanala clan, and finally ask for peace for their biological mother as a concubine. Therefore, when the husband and wife were about to come to Jingren Palace, it was already a little late, and Huizhu had already waited for the autumn water to pass through the autumn water, and after a while, she sent someone to inquire where they were.
This Huizhu stretched his neck and looked at it again and again, and was about to call someone to go again, when he heard the palace eunuch shouting in a loud voice: "The fourth elder brother and the four blessings are here, please say goodbye to the master-" Xiao Ranzi hurriedly ran back to the front of the hall from the door of the main hall, and said happily: "It's here!" Here it comes! When Huizhu heard that someone was coming, she hurriedly put away her clothes and was sitting on the top seat, holding a group of shelfs and looking ahead with smiling eyes, but there was a faint sweat in her palms.
It didn't take a moment to see Hongli, who was dressed in the prince's court clothes, and Mingwei, who was dressed in the court clothes of the prince, appeared in front of the main hall. Suddenly, the husband and wife crossed the threshold, paused slightly, looked at each other and smiled, both affectionate. Xu is Mingwei is still the bride, only glanced at each other, instantly blushed his cheeks, lowered his head the more he lowered, and followed him half a step slowly.
But I haven't seen her for a night, but Huizhu can't take her eyes off and stare at Hongli, and then look at her new daughter-in-law Mingwei, but I don't think I can see enough; Waiting for Hongli to finish two kneeling and six bowing, and Ming Wei to finish four su and two kneeling and two bowing, it is still difficult to retract his gaze for a long time.
Seeing this, Su Xin covered her mouth and smiled: "I finally brought the fourth elder brother and the fourth blessing Jin over, the master is in a hurry." While talking, he secretly glanced at Xiaojuan and A Xing, the two smiled knowingly, took out a futon that had been prepared earlier and put it in front of Huizhu, Su Xin also turned around and took the plate from Gong E's hand, and stood beside Mingwei with a cup of tea sealed with both hands.
Seeing this situation, Mingwei was distracted, forced to suppress the anxiety in her heart, moved half a step calmly, knelt down on the futon without hurrying, and said: "Daughter-in-law Mingwei asks Eniang for peace, Eniang is blessed." After saying that, he bowed three times, smiled gratefully at Suxin, and then took the teacup and offered it to the top of his head.
Huizhu returned to the province, staring at Mingwei, who pretended to be calm, and saw that although her face was calm, her knees kneeling on the futon shook slightly, revealing everything. I couldn't help but smile slightly, after drinking this cup of daughter-in-law's tea, it is a full ceremony to identify the bride, since I came to the Qing Dynasty three hundred years ago, I should follow the customs of the country, and from then on Mingwei is my own family, and I used to have a good impression of her three points, and now I should be seven points like, only to have half a daughter.
After a lot of thoughts, it was just a fleeting thought, and his face did not show half a point, so when Mingwei finished speaking, Huizhu did not put her mother-in-law's score, immediately took the teacup, took a sip, and said: "Good boy......" The words were a little silent, and I thought about the words of my in-laws very quickly, and I couldn't help but tremble slightly, and said in my mouth: "In the future, the affairs of Hongli will be handed over to you to take care of." Both of you are young, and you have to accommodate each other......"
Saying that, Huizhu still felt that it was really difficult to continue, so she turned her eyes, her eyes turned to Hongli, and she scolded with a smile: "Mingwei is the daughter-in-law of this palace, if you dare to bully her, this palace will not spare you!" In a word, without waiting for Hongli to refute, he took out a red sandalwood rectangular box from the side and opened it, and said with a smile: "You have seen a lot of precious things, and it is not easy for this palace to pick what you like." From the first year of the Lama Temple (renamed), the emperor rewarded the palace with a gold-inlaid jade bracelet, and you accepted it. ”
Ming was slightly frightened, she didn't want Huizhu to make a face with her like this, so she was busy postponing it repeatedly, but she had no choice but to accept it carefully, but she glanced at it and was shocked into a cold sweat. This bracelet is not only a gift and has different meanings, but also a rare treasure, if you guess well, it must be left by the Tang Dynasty court. I saw that the bracelet was made of white jade with three arcs of equal length, and the joint was inlaid with gold beasts, and hinged with gold live bolts, and the jade bracelet could be opened and closed freely after being drawn, which was really exquisite workmanship, not a general treasure.
I didn't dare to look at it anymore, Ming Wei didn't have any etiquette on the face, she only knew that this gold-inlaid white jade bracelet could never be accepted, and the thought flashed, and she wanted to take off the bracelet and return it to its original owner, but was stopped by Hongli and said: "Mingwei, you accept it." This jade bracelet has always been cherished by Eniang, but this time it was given to you, that is, she really took you as her own from the bottom of her heart. And he is the first time that Huang Ama gave Eniang, which is of extraordinary significance. Speaking of this, the black eyes shone brightly, and she looked up at Huizhu and said: "E-Niang's move is also to hope that you and I can support each other and be honest with each other in the days to come." ”
As soon as these words came out, Huizhu and Mingwei were stunned.
Huizhu never thought that Hongli would see the matter between him and Yinzhen so clearly, and also had insight into what she really meant. Yes, as early as the Mid-Autumn Festival night a few years ago, it was determined that she and Yinzhen were in love with each other, especially in recent years, this feeling has become deeper and deeper. However, although she is willing to support him silently and care about him, and he is also tolerant of her and sincere, she can't confess and trust each other.
Because of this, she hopes that Hongli and Mingwei can have a relationship and truly become a couple. After all, they have the same concept, and the external environment is very good to the two of them, so they should support each other and hold each other together for a lifetime......
Compared with Huizhu's emotion, Mingwei was inexplicably excited in her heart, she raised her head and responded almost inaudibly, dispelled the idea of taking off the bracelet, and bowed deeply to Huizhu again, and said, "Daughter-in-law Xie Eniang rewarded." After finishing speaking, I heard my grandmother cough again, and just remembered something, I couldn't help blushing at my own rudeness, and hurriedly turned around and took out a pair of embroidered shoes made by myself and brought them to the top of my head, and smiled shyly: "Please smile at Eniang." ”
Huizhu threw away the sudden amazement, took the embroidered shoes and took a closer look, and couldn't help but light up, and said with great interest: "The Bodhi mantle you sent last time is Henan folk embroidery, and this pair is Shu embroidery, do you also like Shu embroidery?" This palace has some experience in Shu embroidery. When he was talking, he had pulled Mingwei to sit up with his own hands, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law talked about the rare Shu embroidery in Beijing. After two words, Huizhu asked Su Xin to take out the fish arch lotus pendant flower, which was also Shu embroidery, so the two discussed the difference in each other's stitches for a long time. For a while, Hongyin was left aside.
Then the newlywed until the ninth day, Hongli returned to the door with Mingwei and left Fucha Mansion before noon. If so, after the marriage was completed, Hongli stepped into the imperial court and officially entered the errand. And Mingwei was also in charge of the affairs of the first palace of Huagong, and on the tenth day of the wedding, he personally asked for the title and served the palace lady Xiaofucha of Hongli, and was promoted to Gege.
Huizhu listened to Mingwei's invitation, and was inevitably a little disappointed, and then complained that Yinzhen had found a side branch of the Fucha family to be the guide of Hongli. But what Yinzhen and Mingwei did, and the times are right, her thoughts are full of stomach after all, and at the end of July, she left Hongli and his wife to live their own small life, and she returned to the Old Summer Palace in March.
