Zhu Niangzi came to the door by herself. Pingjiu's courtyard is not in a busy area, and I don't know how she found out the willow branches, so one day she came to the door: "I actually want to give the eldest girl a set of wedding dresses to add joy to the eldest girl." ”

"But we didn't know each other very well." Willow stammered a little. With the interest of Fengliu Ji, the female relatives of the family are not enough to use the clothes of the gold weaving workshop, and Zhu Niangzi is the signboard of the gold weaving workshop, she is arrogant, and she is a figure who sees the head and the end of the dragon.

Zhu Niangzi is a woman of about thirty-five or sixteen years old, with an average appearance but white skin and flesh like snow, although the color of the clothes is plain, but the matching is elegant and outstanding, and the embroidery is more like the finishing touch, making the clothes different.

Liu Zhi has seen the Yang family's mother and daughter needlework before, and it is fair to say that the composition and color matching of the needle are all good, but compared with Zhu Niangzi, it is a little less elegant. The artistic conception is a virtual thing that can be seen but not good, and the difference between the value of a line is a world away, or there are many official and civilian people.

Zhu Niangzi smiled and touched the back of the willow branch's neck, her complexion was white, but her hands were not separated from the needle and thread all year round, so her fingers had calluses. Liu Zhi shrunk her neck, she didn't think that Zhu Niangzi's hands were thick, and Li Chun's hands were also thick, she was just not used to unfamiliar people touching her, and how could this action feel like pinching the back of her neck in a white sugar cake.

"Your mother asked me to teach your sister how to needlework, but you were sick." Zhu Niangzi's words made Liu Zhi remember the days when she had just been separated from Li Chun, the high fever did not go away overnight, she was sick like that, and she was languishing for a long time after she got better, and Zhu Niangzi naturally did not succeed.

"Then you came to Xiufang to find me, I thought that the eldest girl of Fengliuji was really a bold and straightforward girl."

The fourteen-year-old girl's big eyes were uneasy, resentful, sad, and more determined. "Zhu Niangzi, I am the eldest girl of Fengliuji, my mother asked you to make me a wedding dress, can you please drag it slowly?"

A ray of golden sunlight shone on the girl, and the thin fuzz on her cheeks and neck was like a fresh peach, and what was not commensurate with her good years was that she frowned and bit her lip, and her face was full of sadness.

Zhu Niangzi didn't know why she wanted to tease her: "Big girl, what's the slow way?" ”

Liu Zhi's foot stomped lightly and said: "There is no silk thread today, no beads tomorrow, you can drag it for three years and five years, anyway, this wedding dress may not be used." ”

The wedding dress brought by Zhu Niangzi was slowly unfolded on the hanger with the help of the maid, and the girls and mothers-in-law who were used to seeing good things in the Ping family were all amazed together. The room is illuminated by a dense and silky red satin pattern of a traditional peony and phoenix, but different, with gold threads and beads outlining the outline, and multicolored silk threads filling in the color and embroidering pieces of wings.

The wedding dress is nothing more than red embroidered gold, and the pattern is rarely embroidered, without him, for fear of taking away the color of the bride. But this set of dresses is full of color, as if the clothes are lined with patterns. And the phoenix on the bottom, two by two, the phoenix spreads its wings, and its wings are brilliant; The phoenix spreads its tail, and its feather color is colorful.

This gift is just too valuable. Not only the best satin and silk threads are used, the best craftsmanship is used, but also the most sincere blessings for fellow women.

Zhu Niangzi smiled and said: "This is what you begged me to drag slowly over the years, so I took out the materials I collected and slowly helped you make them." I want to see if there's a time to send it out. "The eldest girl of Fengliuji has been good with Li Chun who fishes since she was a child, and no one knows.

"If you follow the wishes of the family or the Yang family, I will definitely not be able to make your wedding dress well, anyway, there are so many happy shops, your mother can buy it anywhere. If you fulfill your wish, I don't think the marriage will go too smoothly, so I will add a little joy, so that the eldest girl will know that someone is blessed by the two of you. ”

"When I was about the same age as you, I also had a little brother who grew up together in the alley, and I always thought that I was going to marry him, and the two families also got married. I have a little brother, smart since childhood, my father and mother regard him as all the treasure and hope, it is too expensive to raise a person, and the family foundation is not thick is really an offering for eating chaff and vegetables. That year, the Qingshui River crossed the embankment, and a street of houses fell along the river, and everyone suffered a disaster, and his family did not dislike my dowry was swept away by the water, and he also gave me a red silk to cut my own wedding dress. But my wedding dress was still only drawn and I didn't start cutting it, and my father and mother cried and begged me to agree to be a concubine.

For the sake of the younger brother, for the lintel, for the incense and glory of the ancestors, these daughters can't be given, only men. Therefore, the daughter's family is not as precious as the man's family, and the sister should be sacrificed for the brother. ”

"Don't talk about those things that pollute the ears of the big girl, but the Zhang family sold it to the Li family, when I got the opportunity to redeem myself from the Songning Weaving Mansion, I am old, and I was a slave and a concubine, but I also think that if there is someone in this world who can tolerate you, you should always be a close relative. I didn't expect my family to see me as if they saw a monster, and they wouldn't let me in, but every time they came to me to ask for monthly money, they didn't look like this. The younger brother has been admitted to Xiucai and married a lady from a solid family, and his father and mother are not satisfied, just waiting to hug their grandson. Today, everyone calls me Zhu Niangzi, but my original surname is Zhu, but the surname of a grandmother who taught me needlework in the weaving house, and she also introduced me to the weaving gold workshop. ”

"I still have a skill, so I can still live on my own today" Zhu Niangzi stretched out a pair of hands that had been slightly deformed because of labor to show the willow branches, "It's just that there is no joy in this life, and I don't have the opportunity to finish the original wedding dress for myself." When a little lady suddenly came and insisted on going against her father, I admired it. ”

Willow Branch's face turned red, and it turned out that not everyone would think that they were wrong.

Zhu Niangzi continued slowly: "Women are born weak, although they are tough-hearted, but the world given is so big, how many women are unwilling but can only give in. If the eldest girl can insist on herself, she will have no regrets. ”

She straightened the cuffs of the willow branch's shirt, and her movements and voice had a kind of female elder's kindness: "If you don't dislike it, will you invite me to drink a glass of wedding wine on the day of the visit?" Let your husband know that our woman also has someone. ”

This different kind of wedding was held as scheduled according to an auspicious day calculated. Like all elopements, there are no sedan chairs, no drums, no banquets.

And like all serious people's weddings. The room was draped in red and hung with colors, and the persimmon tree in the yard was also tied with a red satin, and even the white sugar cake was tied with a red silk flower around its neck. The dragon and phoenix flowers and candles are painted with gold and color, and the cakes and fruits are piled up in the fine porcelain plates.

An elder brother called "sister" and carried her through the door, although only from one yard to the other.

An elder sat in the high hall to receive the salute, and the uncle smiled and said: "Danan, I accepted the heads of the two of you on behalf of your father and mother, and I wish you a hundred years of happiness and early birth to a noble son." ”

There are people who don't know each other who shout that they are witnesses, and they are vying to leave their names or handprints on the marriage certificate.

There is him. The little brother who was brought to her by Qingshuijiang, the teenager who grew up together in the spring breeze and autumn rain year after year, and the husband who went away and finally returned to her.

When he was a child, he defended him, orphans are different from wild seeds, and the world will not sympathize with him more because of this. Now I want to defend myself just because I am sincere, but the world still sees myself as immoral. Although it is said that he went away to avoid gossip, it is difficult to leave his homeland, not to mention which daughter's family has not dreamed of depicting the scene when she got married. Desperate for love, he still can't hide the embarrassment and desolation of the betrayal of relatives.

But he knew that his heart was sick, so he did his best to comfort himself. In this life, there is still so much time, and the four years that he waited for him in front of him are nothing.
